I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

"Having the White Jade within grasp but too timid to take it, really pathetic!" Chen Mu muttered with a face full of regret.

After a moment’s thought, he shook his head, "Forget it, after all, Condensing Aperture is more important."

The Sun Family was still looking for him, both openly and in secret.

If he got involved with people like Shang Huan, he would certainly be investigated.

Just like the neighbor, Liu Hongyang, who was merely suspected and ended up being detained on Jade Spring Mountain for half a year, questioned over and over.

"At that time, I’d have no choice but to flee."

The key point was that he might not even be able to escape.

Based on what happened to Liu Hongyang, Sun Jian’s interest in the gourd sword box seemed to exceed all expectations.

Chen Mu sat on the soft couch in the secret chamber, frowning deeply, "I cannot keep in contact with Shang Huan and the others any longer, and if any trouble arises, it must be dealt with promptly!"

On the west side of the mountainside of Eagle Grief Cliff, Inspection Courtyard.

Inside a small building with black tiles, grey windows, and white walls.

Deputy Prefect Zhao Shaoyuan sat by the window on the second floor and after a long while said indifferently, "That business cannot be done anymore."

Standing behind him, Prefect Li Dechao’s expression changed, "Prefect, last month we made nearly fifty thousand White Jade, are we really not doing it?"

Zhao Shaoyuan’s brow furrowed slightly, "Stop it!"

"Prefect, who is blocking our money path?!" Li Dechao’s face was full of ferocity.

Zhao Shaoyuan turned and glared at him, "What, are you thinking of finding trouble with Elder Hu?"

"The Elder Hu on the mountain top?"

Li Dechao’s neck immediately shrank, but his face still carried a reluctant probing.

"We are just trading with the local mountain folk, it’s a sign of our court integrating into the local powers of East Ridge."

"Is Elder Hu...perhaps being too meddlesome?"

Zhao Shaoyuan glanced at him, "The trouble on Liulian Mountain is getting worse."

"It used to be bartering, now it’s aiding the enemy."

"Stop it as soon as possible."

Li Dechao could only nod reluctantly.

"Don’t be foolish," Zhao Shaoyuan cautioned, "Elder Hu asked me to catch a few typical suspects to make an example, do you want to be that chicken?"

"I dare not, I dare not…" Li Dechao shook his head repeatedly.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and with a sneaky smile, he said, "Since the elder assigned you to catch these smugglers, about those confiscated goods…"

Zhao Shaoyuan’s mouth curved slightly, "You’re finally showing a bit of intelligence."

Li Dechao was immediately overjoyed, "No wonder you previously told me to suppress the reports about Lu the butcher and others."

"I was thinking, those people are stealing our business, why let them off so easily. Haha, so it turns out…"

Zhao Shaoyuan nodded with a smile, "In the end, this business is treading a fine line, of course, we need to prepare several scapegoats."

"Besides, pigs and rabbits are worth more when they fatten up."

"Prefect Gao Ming!" Li Dechao’s face showed admiration.

"Get the manpower ready, we must take action against those groups all at once, can’t afford to startle them and let them run."

"Make sure to investigate all the individuals involved, find where they have hidden their White Jade Money, and most importantly figure out to whom and where they are selling the goods," Zhao Shaoyuan instructed Li Dechao in detail, his right index finger tapping emphasized.

"After the storm passes, with these established routes, we can continue the business!"

"Haha! Prefect, you think far ahead!" Li Dechao laughed loudly.

...

Time flies, more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather gradually became cooler, and the lush green mountains began to show spots of light yellow.

On this crisp autumn day.

Chen Mu sat in front of the wooden building’s window, watching the trickling waterfall outside, his face solemn.

He held a serious demeanor and carefully placed his hand on his belly to feel it, gradually, his eyes grew wider and wider.

"How did I get fat?!"

Somehow, there was an extra layer of fat on his belly!

In his previous life, he had been overweight, and it had taken him great effort to lose weight.

Now he had traveled through time, how could this…

Chen Mu’s face sank, "Isn’t it said that cultivators have high calorie burns and can eat without worry?"

Ever since he started cultivating the Shape Cultivation Technique, he had never been anxious about his body shape.

But now that he had cultivated mana, he had actually started to gain weight.

"All things considered, this body is only twenty-eight years old, how come it’s already starting to gain weight?" Chen Mu grumbled as he gulped down a mouthful of herbal ice cream flavored Replenishing Origin Soup, his face a picture of unwillingness.

"Netherworld Grand Summary doesn’t have this side effect, though."

Sun Wuhuan was indeed overweight, but Old Ghost Sun was skinny as a rail.

"Replenishing Origin Soup?" Chen Mu looked at the wooden cup in his hand.

He now understood that the reason he was gaining weight was because he had over-nourished himself.

"It’s a pity that the time for Condensing Aperture cultivation has reached its limit."

The Condensing Aperture Stage not only transformed body and spirit but also consumed physical vitality and mental strength.

Now his vitality was sufficient, but the recovery of mental strength took time.

The Seven Souls Return to Origin absorbed external substances after all, which was alright for emergency use. To use it for the construction of Divine Orifice, Chen Mu dared not.

"Blindly intensifying the cultivation of Netherworld Grand Summary might damage the spirit."

"How about reducing the Replenishing Origin Soup?"

After a bit of thought, Chen Mu shook his head.

What if he wasn’t supplemented enough and became overly weak?

"Better to move around more, work off some of it," Chen Mu said as his focus concentrated on the Jade Seed.

A third layer of a net-shaped sphere made of silver threads surrounded the Divine Orifice, representing the completion of two-sevenths of the lower triad of Divine Orifice Talismans.

Chen Mu’s gaze shifted to the fog outside the Jade Seed.

Three large and four small, a total of seven White Jade Pearls floated and sank in the gray mist.

With a thought, a familiar talisman was pulled into the Jade Seed.

"Giant Spirit Divine..."

In the past, he had drawn this talisman into the Jade Seed to deceive Sun Chengye.

But after its use, since he was busy with Condensing Aperture cultivation and had no time to practice, Chen Mu shoved the talisman back in unchanged.

"Sun Chengye said that this secret technique consumes a lot and the more resources invested, the stronger it becomes."

"Such a wonderful method that can increase strength and reduce fat, it’s time to start practicing it."

Giant Spirit Divine!

The silver talisman shone brilliantly.

Mana mixed with the power of vitality began a transformation.

A large, dark red shadow slowly emerged behind him in mid-air.

With a thought, the dark red shadow drilled into his arms.

A vigorous force suddenly surged into his arms, causing his skin to darken into a reddish black.

Chen Mu instinctively raised his arms to check and immediately felt a lightness wash over him.

It was as if he had donned a layer of exoskeleton armor; with external support, swinging his arms and throwing punches became three times easier.

Bang!

Just by lightly clenching his fists, the air burst with a pop.

"The strength is increasing!" Chen Mu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

It wasn’t much, but he could clearly feel the enhancement.

It was hard to quantify with specific data, but since he could feel it, the effect was definitely significant.

"And this is just the first use. If I raise the Rank and use it after triggering Five Ghosts Possession, then..." Chen Mu’s eyes narrowed.

"This Secret Technique really complements Five Ghosts Possession perfectly!"

He immediately began to cultivate continuously.

After performing the technique more than ten times, a new line appeared on the gray wall.

Giant Spirit Divine: 9976/10000/Second Rank;

"Ai Ji is no good, stuck at Second Rank," Chen Mu scoffed.

If that guy could have cultivated Perceptive Spirit Light, this secret technique would have already advanced to Third Rank.

"Tsk tsk... can’t reap a huge benefit this time," Chen Mu shook his head.

"Should I copy over the secret techniques of the remaining three now, or should I let them grind it out for me?" he pondered uncertainly.

The smuggling business done by the seven people was booming, it was a pity it could only be done at noon.

Because come evening, they were done for!

If one day that suddenly stopped, wouldn’t he lose out on three secret technique experience packs?

After careful consideration, Chen Mu suppressed his impulse: "Wait, just wait a little longer!"

"Lu Ku, Yu Lin, and Wu Ruo have all cultivated their Spiritual Light."

"Delaying the harvest by one day might yield hundreds or even thousands more experience!"
