I Am Grinding Experience in Another World
Chapter 328: The Symposium on the Way"Junior Brother, what a skilled method you have!" Sun Wuhuan, the forty-something Deputy Head of the Administrative Affairs Institute, said with a beaming smile, "No wonder Junior Brother Zhu sent you."
"Even Qi Hui on horseback couldn’t catch up with your alchemy speed!"
"I can’t compare, I can’t compare," Chen Mu repeatedly shook his head. "My alchemy speed is all thanks to working tirelessly through the night."
"Compared to Brother Qi’s talent and understanding, I’m worlds apart."
Sun Wuhuan looked at Chen Mu’s pale complexion and heavy eye bags, and suddenly realized.
Cultivators at the Perceptive Stage had robust bodies. However, the junior brother in front of him had weak vitality, clearly the result of staying up all night practicing alchemy and excessive fatigue.
He then couldn’t help but express his concern, "Junior Brother, you must take care of your health!"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."
It looks like my disguise is still quite successful.
Chen Mu gloated to himself.The issue of alchemy speed being too fast had a ready explanation with the excuse of working hard without sleep.
"There’s no time limit for this task. If you keep burning the midnight oil like this, what if you damage your foundation?" Jin Wuhuan advised earnestly.
Chen Mu nodded seriously, making an appearance as if he was listening, "I understand."
However, his face subtly conveyed an expression that he hadn’t really taken the advice to heart and would keep doing the same thing.
Sun Wuhuan sighed helplessly, "This is all the trouble that Daoist cultivation causes."
Isn’t that the truth!
Chen Mu nodded with deep feeling.
One Daoist practice had tied down so many cultivators, making them toil for Jilong Road.
Sun Wuhuan looked at Chen Mu with a sense of nostalgia, "Looking at you reminds me of myself more than ten years ago."
"Back then, I also got up early and stayed up late, doing everything I could to accumulate Daoist cultivation points."
"I dared not exchange for secret techniques, dared not attend theory conferences, and stayed away from anything that would cost Daoist cultivation points." ℟ÂℕÒ฿ĘŠ
"By saving more and spending less, I struggled for a full three years, and only then did I manage to exchange for the Condense Aperture Secret Method!"
Three years?
Chen Mu was suddenly startled.
Alchemy for Jilong Road was already a high-paying job.
But by his rate of accumulation, gathering a hundred thousand Daoist cultivation points would still take at least twelve or thirteen years.
If he went by Qi Hui’s rate, that would be at least twenty years!
And this big, fat man with a face full of flesh had managed to save enough points in just three years?!
He couldn’t help but ask, "You... How did you...?"
"Do you want to know how I obtained the Condense Aperture Secret Method?" Sun Wuhuan asked with a smile, looking at Chen Mu.
"Junior Brother presumes too much!" Chen Mu quickly cupped his fists in apology.
Sun Wuhuan waved his hand, "There’s nothing that can’t be said."
"It was two years, eleven months, and twenty-nine days after I started saving Daoist cultivation points."
"On a stormy day."
"I carefully calculated and found that I only had one thousand one hundred and twenty-six Daoist cultivation points left?"
"At that rate, how long would I have to save?" Sun Wuhuan had a look of not wanting to recall past events.
"So I went to our Sun Family Ancestral Hall and, with clenched teeth, knelt for an entire day!"
"The very same night, my father placed a Condense Aperture Secret Method in front of me."
Chen Mu: "..."
What a truly simple and unadorned good story!
Sun Wuhuan sighed with emotion, "Since then, I’ve realized a truth."
"If you want to accumulate enough Daoist cultivation points, aside from hard work and diligence, you also need to have methods."
"What’s more crucial is that you have to be like me, not afraid to endure hardships!" Sun Wuhuan said with conviction, pointing to himself, emphasizing each word.
Chen Mu: "..."
Fuck!
How do you have the face to say that?!
...
"Do you think I am showing off my family heritage?" Sun Wuhuan asked with a serious face.
Isn’t that what it is?
"You guessed right! I am showing off my family heritage!" Sun Wuhuan chuckled.
Chen Mu: "..."
Is flaunting wealth always this blatant?
"I took the initiative to compile my legendary experiences into a volume, which was verified by the Scripture Transmission Institute, and I have set up a small seminar on how to manage Daoist cultivation,"
"The contents include common methods to quickly accumulate Daoist power within Jilong Road."
"With the goal of cultivating oneself, there are controlled and selective use plans for Daoist power."
"It also teaches you how to find leverage to multiply a single unit of Daoist power into many!"
"For just five points of Daoist power, you can obtain these practical methods."
"What do you think, would you like to come and listen?" Sun Wuhuan looked at Chen Mu with hopeful eyes.
Chen Mu’s face was suddenly full of bewilderment.
What’s this?
A financial planning class in another world?
Are they harvesting leeks even in another world?!
"Of course, after the seminar, there’s a small segment," Sun Wuhuan winked at Chen Mu.
"Everyone will also exchange their insights and items such as materials for Magic Artifacts that are beneficial for managing Daoist power."

Chen Mu’s heart was moved at once.
Going through such a big detour, the little segment after the seminar is probably the main point, isn’t it?
"Learning from others’ insights, obtaining special items, that would cost Daoist power, right?" Chen Mu squinted and asked.
"What quick understanding, junior brother!" Sun Wuhuan’s face immediately blossomed into a smile.
"We’ve just taken down Mist Smoke Mountain. Many senior brothers have plenty of good items that can increase Daoist power!" Sun Wuhuan said meaningfully.
Well, this is Magic Artifacts and secret technique fencing, trading in Daoist power.
No wonder he wanted to show off his family background. Without some status and background, he really wouldn’t dare to do this.
The Sun surname?
It seems that there really is an elder with the surname Sun in Jilong Road.
"If junior brother is undecided, then consider it for a while longer." Seeing that Chen Mu understood, Sun Wuhuan was in no hurry and put away the Fasting Pill and handed back Chen Mu’s Identity Jade.
Is this to let oneself inquire about the truth?
So confident?
"Thank you for your understanding, senior brother." Chen Mu thanked him with a bow and left.
...
Three days later, late at night.
To the east of Mist Smoke Mountain, outside the former Yanxia Sect’s cave warehouse.
A cluster of bamboo houses suspended over two meters high was hidden within the dense forest.
In the underground, about six or seven meters below the outermost bamboo house, there was an Underground Secret Chamber about the size of two bedrooms.
The chamber was brightly lit, with fresh air.
"It really is more peaceful staying in this unknown underground space," Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
"Truthful Listening!"
Invisible ripples were directed by Chen Mu, starting from his right hand and forming a cone shape as they probed the underground.
Images of rock, soil, roots, and unidentified animals, a colorful underground landscape flooded his mind.
Soon, a familiar vast underground space appeared.
"Still over two hundred meters? Tsk tsk... quite deep." Chen Mu had aimed at the Yin River underground from the beginning of the secret chamber’s excavation.
Over the past twenty or so days, Mist Smoke Mountain had been peaceful.
But since it was freshly conquered territory, rather than betting on the Yanxia Sect being completely safe, Chen Mu would rather spend the time digging a secret tunnel.
"Should I go learn a secret technique for tunnel digging?" Chen Mu stroked his chin in contemplation.
Previously, when using Five Ghosts Moving Mountain to dig, it felt fast and convenient.
But now that the engineering depth had increased to over two hundred meters, it suddenly seemed a bit difficult.
"Maybe I can take a look at the seminar,"
These past few days he hadn’t been idle either, having specially asked Bai Xiuwen to help inquire and indeed heard some rumors.
The seminar indeed involved discussions, but that was more of a front.
The exchange segment that followed was the focal point.
Daoist Cultivation insights, unspoken Secret Techniques, and unused Magic Artifacts could all be traded for Daoist power through the seminar.
It was even said that such seminars existed in Jade Spring Mountain.
It was just that he had been in seclusion leveling up and had never encountered it.
"Wait a bit longer," Chen Mu decided to play it safe.
"If there’s no problem, then I’ll go and broaden my horizons."
