My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 728 Jade Dew
Shuanghua Valley is spring-like all year round.

Chen Mu's life was regular and peaceful, and half a year passed by unnoticed.

That day, under a big tree on the hillside, he lay in a rocking chair as usual, concentrating his energy to refine the Yellow Springs Gourd.

After a long while, Chen Mu opened his eyes, and a gray stone door appeared before him.

Yellow Springs Gourd: 1/10000/Tier 4;

At this moment, a slightly smaller sphere appeared above the original gold and black spheres inside the jade seed.

At first glance, it already has the beginnings of a small gourd shape.

"It's not easy."

With the assistance of the Stone Gate and the acceleration of the Spirit Treasure Pivot Chapter, he originally thought that he could master the third stage of the Spirit Treasure Yuan Talisman in three or four months at most, but he did not expect that it would take more than half a year.

The first and second stages were fine, but in the third stage, there were still nine spirit treasure talismans, but the complexity of each talisman increased rapidly.

In the later stages, after each Yuanfu (a type of in-game item) collapse, it could take two or three days to recover the progress made after the failure.

Even with the help of the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Chapter, the time consumed cannot be stopped from increasing.

"This is only the third stage; the later stages will likely be more difficult and take longer."

"No wonder it takes decades or even centuries for a Qi cultivator to master the internal cultivation method of spiritual treasures."

"This training method is indeed difficult to master," Chen Mu sighed.

"I still need to improve my proficiency in the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter." He couldn't help but look at the other column of the stone gate.

Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: 5237/10000/Seventh Rank;

For the past six months, every time the Yellow Spring Gourd collapsed, he would spend half a day figuring out the protective restrictions of the Twin Flower Valley, thereby improving his experience with the Spirit Treasure Pivot Technique.

"It's a pity that it ends here." Chen Mu shook his head.

The laws and regulations governing the protection of mountains are extremely complex.

It can not only mobilize the earth's spiritual energy and stimulate the protective light of the mountain, but also connect with the earth's veins, assisting the earth's veins in transforming celestial energy into earth's spiritual energy.

The exploration over the past six months has greatly accelerated the progress of the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter.

If one wishes to continue cultivating through the protective mountain techniques, one must delve into the innate earth vein techniques and understand the mysteries of how celestial energy transforms into earth spirit energy.

"The Earth Vein Restriction is an innate restriction formed by heaven and earth. At my current level of the Spirit Treasure Pivot Chapter, I simply cannot penetrate it. Forcing my way in would be a waste of effort."

He has tried it several times in the past few days.

They could only vaguely sense the essence of the earth's veins, but they couldn't see the flow of power within them as clearly as the protective mountain-guarding spells.

"I need to find a different practice target." Chen Mu looked down at the ground.

He thought of the twelve soul-fixing stakes buried deep underground.

"Shall we use the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter to probe the depths of the Yin-Huan Strategy?" Chen Mu was itching to try.

When Chen Mu first discovered the Soul-Stabilizing Stakes, he ignored them for fear of causing trouble.

He has been in Shuanghua Valley for almost a year now. Apart from the initial scouts from Suolongyuan coming to investigate, everything has been peaceful ever since.

That being the case...

"I'm just using this to gain some experience with the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Technique. At most, I'll just take a look. What trouble could I possibly cause?"

"Just do it!"

……

A few days later.

Deep underground, inside a hemispherical cave.

Chen Mu circled the black soul-fixing stake in surprise.

He stretched out his right hand, and the power of the Yin spirit trembled as he activated the Dew Gathering Spell, which he hadn't used in a long time.

Wisps of white mist gathered, swirling like a vortex. A clear, transparent droplet of water gathered and appeared in the air above the palm of the hand.

"No wonder the Yin-raising strategy can breed Yin spirits and Yin insects."

"Besides suppressing the spirits of the dead, the twelve soul-stabilizing stakes can actually transform celestial energy into Yin-Yang Jade Dew?!"

"Interesting."

Jade Dew is food for spirits, and it can only be condensed using the Dew Gathering Spell in the underworld or where the power of the River of Oblivion is manifested.

“The ancient Taoist sect of Qianshan must have pondered the underworld.”

“Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many secret techniques related to Yin ghosts in the Thousand Mountains Scripture.” Chen Mu said thoughtfully.

"It's a pity that the core of the Soul-Fixing Pillar is too profound, and the Lingbao Pivot Chapter is also difficult to comprehend."

"However, it wasn't all for naught."

He chuckled, crawled out of the ground, returned to the shade of the trees on the hillside, and took out the Five Ghosts Bag hanging on his chest.

Immediately, countless ghostly figures, like black lightning bolts, shot out of the bag, covering the entire hillside like dark clouds.

A chilling aura spread out, startling the previously carefree Twin Flower Rabbits, who scurried away underground one by one.

"It's really hard to raise too many ghostly creatures." Chen Mu looked up at the dark, heavy clouds and sighed helplessly.

Simply placing the ghosts in the Five Ghost Bag does not require feeding. They seem to be able to feed themselves and not starve.

However, if you want to use them to assist in cultivation, you will need to provide additional blood, flesh, and essence.

Over the past year, although Chen Mu focused on cultivating the Yellow Spring Gourd, he didn't forget about the transformation of his Heavenly Demon Body. In the gaps between refining the spiritual treasure, he would use unforeseen circumstances to transform the power of the Yin spirits and monsters into Taiyin Qi, thereby nourishing his Heavenly Demon Body.

Moreover, the Yin Spirit is one of the core elements of the secret technique Candle Dragon Transformation. To ensure the power of this secret technique, it is even more necessary to actively feed and strengthen the Yin Spirit.

More than a year has passed, and the incense offerings previously intercepted from Dahong Zhang'an County have been almost completely depleted.

But now things are different; the Yin-Cultivation Strategy can actually transform Jade Dew!

This is like having a pillow when you're sleepy!
"Using the sect's prohibitions to nurture one's own wandering spirits."

"That's a great deal!"

With a change of heart, the Yama Emperor's Decree was activated.

The ghostly creature, which had been running around like a mad dog released from its cage, suddenly became as docile as a quail.

The five paper ghost figures flew into the air, like generals, leading squads of ghostly monsters to various parts of Shuanghua Valley.

As it flew, the plumes of black smoke gradually became transparent and slowly disappeared into the void.

Unless there are special methods involved, the people of Shuanghuayuan will basically not be able to discover it.

"Even if they find out, I'm not afraid." Chen Mu didn't care at all.

I am the head of Shuanghua Academy, and I have thwarted the conspiracy of Suolong Academy several times. What's wrong with using the mountain gate's restrictions?
Anyone who dares to utter a sound, hmph!

……

Hidden Thunder Ravine.

Low-hanging clouds and mist swirled in the mountain streams.

Streaks of lightning flashed within, accompanied by occasional rumbling thunder.

At the deepest part of the mountain stream, a small hill stands in the center of the stream, with a dark iron pavilion on it.

At this moment, streaks of lightning were being pulled into the pavilion from the clouds.

Rodin, the abbot of Sacred Heart Cathedral, sat cross-legged in the two halls, bathing in the thunder without changing his expression.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, a flash of silver light mixed with blood flashed in his eyes, and then returned to normal.

With a wave of his hand, the thunder in the pavilion vanished, and the lightning in the clouds dispersed in other directions in the mountain stream.

Hearing his heart pounding like muffled thunder in his chest, Luo Ding curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Using the Sacred Heart Method to accommodate the twelve true forms of bloodline is indeed feasible!"

"Once mastered, the twelve true forms will be combined into one, thus achieving the Sacred Heart of Yama."

"At that time, by using the Yama Sacred Heart to nourish the true form of the Sky-Piercing Rat, it will be easy to cultivate the true form of the Sky-Piercing Rat."

"The path to the fusion of the two forces will be even smoother!" He slowly clenched his fist, his heart filled with excitement.

"Come on, come on!"

"With enough Nourishing Heart Pills, the Yama Sacred Heart can be cultivated very quickly!"

Luo Ding's eyes hardened, and with a bang, he transformed into a silver streak of light and vanished in the blink of an eye.

……

Late at night.

Twin Flower Valley, in front of the Temple of the Gods.

Chen Mu ate hot pot from the alchemy furnace while admiring the dazzling night sky.

"I wonder how things are on Hornwood."

He thought of the Taoist soldiers that Wu Gang, the steward, and others whom Tian Guan Xing knew.

I can only wish you good luck.

"Mmm, this fish slice soup is so fresh and tender..."

After meal.

Chen Mu lay down in the rocking chair, and amidst the creaking and swaying, he briefly planned his cultivation.

"The Gourd of the Underworld remains of paramount importance."

It is not only about the long-term path, but the gourd itself is also a good thing that can protect you and defend yourself, so it is worth investing time and energy in.

"I need to keep rewatching the Lingbao Cardinal chapter."

This secret technique can be considered an accelerator for refining spiritual treasures; the higher the level, the more useful it becomes.

"The other secret techniques will have to be put on hold for now." Chen Mu sighed as he looked at the secret techniques on the stone gate.

There was a time when he wanted to practice the Ten Directions Hand technique, but the situation kept changing, and he didn't have much time to cultivate.

"We can only repair it after the Yellow Springs Gourd is fully mastered."

Learning too much is not good either; he's all alone and simply doesn't have enough energy to practice.

"We need to finish uploading the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter as soon as possible; sharpening the axe won't delay the work."

Chen Mu raised his hand, and the black rod flashed and expanded with two colors of light, revealing a fist-sized white bone ball and a jet-black moon blade in his palm.

"The Mountain Protection Technique and the Soul-Fixing Stake can no longer provide any more experience."

"A twist of fate is an external cultivation technique, and in some aspects it is basically equivalent to a spiritual treasure."

"It's perfect for using this to practice the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Technique."
