I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

"It can gather and disperse, become invisible, fly away, and even transform into terrifying attacks."

"What ghosts know, yin soldiers also know. What ghosts do not, yin soldiers will also know."

"Most importantly, it can prolong life!"

This was truly magical.

According to the secret technique, once one becomes a yin soldier, one could easily live for over two hundred years!

Is life limited, so why not stop being human?

Heh!

Chen Mu shook his head, chuckling to himself.

Unfortunately, yin spirits that go through countless disasters can’t ascend to sainthood.

But what does that matter to those who are already struggling at the threshold?

"Luckily, this secret technique wasn’t written into the Thousand Mountains Sutra; otherwise, it definitely would have caused chaos."

Chen Mu guessed that, besides himself, probably only the original creator knew the Seven Kills Yin Soldiers Secret Method.

"After all, I doubt there’s a second diligent and hardworking person like me who has practiced the United Heart Curse to its peak among the consecutively chosen seven disciples," Chen Mu thought with a satisfied look on his face.

The secret technique also showed that as long as one held the talisman that should be called the Binding Ghost Rope, one could continuously split the United Heart Gu and create countless yin soldiers.

"What did the creator of that secret technique want to do with so many yin soldiers?"

"Wanna become King Yama?"

"Heh..."

...

Time flies, and before long, it was deep winter.

The snowflakes that had initially drifted only at the mountain peak now covered the entire mountain.

Gazing into the distance, everything was dressed in silver, a sea of white.

Chen Mu, who already enjoyed staying at home, was even less inclined to go outside.

Every time he went to the market district to buy supplies, he would directly purchase three black sheep with antlers or pig rabbits, hanging them outside the window to freeze in the cold wind, enough for half a month’s consumption.

Thus, two months passed hastily.

Chen Mu hadn’t completed the third group of talismans from the Netherworld Grand Summary, but he had successfully deciphered the Rejuvenation Pill.

"Thirteen Essence Talismans, one Primordial Condensing Pill Talisman, taking over thirteen months."

"Not bad!"

"It’s just a pity I can’t present them publicly."

After all, they were deciphered through the reverse engineering of the Pharmaceutical Technique; the origin couldn’t be explained.

Chen Mu glanced at the essence of the medicinal ingredients collected in the wooden grid box, as information on the Rejuvenation Pill swirled in his mind: "It’s not that hard, really; I don’t know why they sell for so expensive."

He immediately took out the three-legged, two-eared Primordial Furnace.

Cleaning the pill furnace, adding ingredients in sequence, he started chanting the Wind Fire Pivot Charm.

Chen Mu cradled the pill furnace in both hands, meticulously adjusting it.

An hour later.

With a ’pop’, he unlatched the furnace to find a burnt smell invading his nostrils.

The essence worth nearly a hundred pieces of White Jade had all been wasted.

"What a money burner!"

The key is, it wasn’t even ranked.

"That shouldn’t have happened," Chen Mu murmured as he peered into the furnace.

Amidst the scent of burning, there surprisingly seemed to be a hint of meat aroma!?

Too many stews made, permeated with flavor?

Illusion!

It must be an illusion!

Chen Mu quickly put the lid back on the furnace and put it away.

"Just not my lucky day today, next time, next time..."

Anyway, with Replenishing Origin Soup on hand, he wasn’t in a hurry to consume Rejuvenation Pills.

...

After that, Chen Mu diligently stayed home to cultivate.

Chanting a few Spirit Nourishing Curses from time to time, occasionally producing a couple of furnaces of Rejuvenation Pills.

Then he would creatively ponder over his three meals a day.

Blissfully ignoring the snowstorm outside.

That day, as snowflakes began to drift outside the window once more,

Chen Mu’s ears twitched, hearing a set of slow footsteps approaching.

"It seems Brother Liu really enjoys this spicy soup," Chen Mu said in surprise, looking at Liu Hongyang standing outside the door, holding a leg of pig rabbit.

"Junior brother must not hide his skill," Liu Hongyang said with a smile.

Heh!

"Watch closely then, Brother," Chen Mu said cheerfully, welcoming the man into the house.

Soon after, a table with four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and a soup, including lion’s head meatballs, crystal preserved meat, and garlic spare ribs, was served on a square table.

Liu Hongyang pointed at the full pill furnace of spicy soup, his face a mix of emotions: "Junior brother, is this appropriate?"

Chen Mu smilingly served Liu Hongyang a bowl of soup: "If you feel it’s inappropriate, Brother, why don’t you tell me about the prohibitions?"

"Waiting for me, huh?" Liu Hongyang shook his head, chuckling.

"Brother must not hide his skill."

Heh!

"Then I shall enlighten junior brother," Liu Hongyang said cheerfully.

"Do you know about Talismans creation?" he asked Chen Mu.

"I heard it requires Sealing Secret Techniques and special Leather Talisman, Jade Talisman," replied Chen Mu.

Liu Hongyang nodded: "Prohibitions are similar; they also require Forbidden Law and a vessel to carry the technique."

"But it’s more difficult."

"Take, for example, the small Numerous Heavens Stars Prohibition, which is the most widely spread in Yunzhou."

"Among the simplest of the Three Talents Method Prohibition, it requires the construction of eighteen Talismans."

Chen Mu was astonished.

The Rejuvenation Pill only involved thirteen Essence Talismans, yet a basic Three Talents Method Prohibition required as many as eighteen?

"Scared already?" Liu Hongyang chuckled. "Then the complete Minor Celestial Stars Prohibition involves a total of one hundred and eight Talismans."

This...

Wasn’t this far too difficult?

Chen Mu couldn’t help but look towards Liu Hongyang.

Is learning this thing really useful?

It’s time-consuming and laborious, and there doesn’t seem to be any financial prospects.

Without White Jade to purchase secret technique resources, how could one possibly cultivate?

"That’s why the main business of our Hundred Workshops Hall is making Talismans and Magic Artifacts," Liu Hongyang shrugged.

Then he curled his lip contemptuously, "As for prohibitions, only those Condensing Aperture cultivators and high-born privileged ones can afford to dabble in them."

Chen Mu suddenly understood.

But still, that wasn’t right.

He listened intently without turning a hair, but Liu Hongyang’s house remained dead silent. Even if no one was home, shouldn’t there be some noise from the stove?

"You don’t know prohibitions, Senior Brother?"

"I don’t," Liu Hongyang replied with a naive look.

Heh...

Let’s just say you don’t.

Chen Mu chuckled inwardly.

This Senior Brother Liu seemed straightforward, but he was also capable of hiding wisdom.

"Junior Brother is interested in prohibitions?" Liu Hongyang asked curiously.

"With the mountain being terrorized by the Barbarian Secret Arts, I was just thinking of setting up a layer of prohibitive protections around the house," Chen Mu said casually.

"It’s better for Junior Brother to venture out less. Once your Qi is absorbed, regular prohibitions cannot withstand the curse-killing Secret Technique," Liu Hongyang shook his head.

"Not afraid," Chen Mu said indifferently with a wave of his hand. "I hardly ever go out anyway; can they infiltrate my home?"

"It’s good not to go out, staying in is safe," Liu Hongyang agreed.

Then he looked envious, "Plus, you alchemists have a stable income, no need to run about everywhere."

"If Senior Brother wants to learn, I can teach you," Chen Mu said cheerfully.

"I had almost forgotten you’re also a Scripture Doctorate," Liu Hongyang became even more envious. "Junior Brother really has an extraordinary talent."

"It’s diligence, mainly because I am more diligent," Chen Mu earnestly corrected.

"Heh..." Liu Hongyang rolled his eyes.

Guess if I believe you.

...

After sending Liu Hongyang off, amidst rolling black smoke, the messy cups and plates on the table instantly became as clean as new.

Using the Truthful Listening Technique, he confirmed there was no movement around.

Chen Mu returned to his bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and prepared to go to the Underground Secret Chamber.

"Babbling away all night, I’ve fallen behind on my experience progression."

Luckily, it wasn’t entirely without gains.

"When I have time, I’ll exchange for the Minor Celestial Stars Prohibition."

With the help of the grey wall, I can accumulate experience in my spare time, and the profundity will reveal itself.

Then I can improve the Secret Chamber, upgrade the Daoist Arena, and greatly enhance safety.

"No rush, just need to finish today’s Condensing Aperture experience," he thought.

With that in mind, Chen Mu closed the wooden door of his wardrobe and jumped into the chamber passage.

His body flickered with Spiritual Light as the Longitudinal Rainbow Light pulled him, and he descended slowly along the sloping dark tunnel.

But soon, he felt something was wrong.

"A twenty-meter passage can’t be this long, can it?"

He instinctively looked up only to see darkness above, as if it were infinitely high.

Looking down again, the darkness below seemed bottomless.

Chen Mu’s body tensed immediately.

His surrounding starlights began to spin rapidly, quickly connecting into one.

The Longitudinal Rainbow Light fully opened, its pulling force significantly increasing.

Chen Mu kicked against the two-meter diameter wall of the round tunnel, shooting upwards like an arrow.

But after ascending for a quarter of an hour non-stop, the area above him remained pitch black.

Barbarian Cursing Technique?

Damn it!

Chen Mu wished he could slap himself.

He had just been assuring with conviction that he wasn’t afraid of a barbarian attack, and now this was exactly what happened!

Don’t panic!

Chen Mu quickly calmed himself down.

Having faced multiple crises throughout his cultivation journey, he was no longer the frail scholar he once was.

He continued to drift upwards slowly, while using the Spiritual Light surrounding him to closely inspect the smooth inner walls.

Then a fist-sized hole suddenly caught his eye.

Chen Mu’s hair nearly stood on end.

That was clearly the hole he had kicked open while ascending just moments ago.

Before this, he had been continuously floating upwards, yet now he found himself back at the starting point!

Somehow, the original tunnel, only twenty meters long, seemed to have turned into an infinite loop with no beginning or end!

Not only that, the rocks inside the hole were growing bit by bit.

Before long, they restored themselves to their original state right before his eyes.

At that moment, he realized with shock that the passage, which was originally more than two meters in diameter, had shrunk to about one meter seventy!

Unable to escape and with the passage continuously shrinking...
