I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Three days later.

On the mountainside of Mist Smoke Mountain, to the west side of the Administrative Affairs Institute.

Chen Mu followed the markings on the wooden token and slowly walked into the Bamboo Garden.

According to the notice at the entrance of the Administrative Affairs Institute, the Bamboo Garden was responsible for the inter-regional deployment of personnel.

Whenever a Lower Courtyard was short of people, the news would be sent to the Bamboo Gardens of all the Administrative Affairs Institutes immediately.

The Bamboo Garden would then arrange for staff to be sent to the Lower Courtyards that were short of people through missions.

His purpose in coming here today was to see if there was a suitable job that would allow him to leave the Five Mountains of East Ridge.

After all, killing Sun Wujiu was a hidden danger.

Upon entering the room, Chen Mu quickly glanced around.

Two openwork screens stood on either side of the entrance, dividing the house into two small and separate compartments on the east and the west. Inside, it looked like a study, with bookshelves, desks, and writing materials all available.

At the moment, two people were talking inside the western compartment. Chen Mu took a quick peek and then headed straight for the eastern compartment.

There, a bald middle-aged man in his forties was sitting behind the desk.

The man was dressed in black, with droopy eyelids and an indifferent face.

Your journey continues with

Without waiting for Chen Mu to speak, the bald middle-aged man stretched out his hand impatiently, "Give me your Identity Jade."

Chen Mu, having inquired about the procedures, was prepared and quickly handed over his Jade Token.

The other party took the Jade Token, and a flicker of pale light flashed in his eyes: "Can you refine Fasting Pills?"

"Yes," Chen Mu nodded.

The bald middle-aged man’s expression became more cordial upon hearing this, "Which mountain would you like to go to?"

"I don’t know, are there places outside of East Ridge that need Fasting Pills to be refined?" Chen Mu asked calmly.

"You want to go to another Lower Courtyard?" The bald middle-aged man furrowed his brow.

Without waiting for Chen Mu to explain, the man’s face lit up with realization, "Right, over here in East Ridge refining Fasting Pills only pays out in White Jade Coins. To earn Daoist Cultivation, you really do need to go to other Lower Courtyards." ṚäŊòBЕṡ

Was there such a thing? Chen Mu was surprised in his heart.

When he had come to Mist Smoke Mountain, it was mainly to cultivate in peace. Apart from the facade of being a Scripture Transmitting Pavilion Scholar, it had been a long time since he had refined pills for the Administrative Affairs Institute, and he had not expected such changes.

However, it’s good not to get Daoist Cultivation! With this excuse, I could legitimately leave the Five Mountains of East Ridge.

"It’s a bit tricky," the bald middle-aged man frowned: "Your request covers all the Lower Courtyards in Jilong Road, and it’s not easy to find a suitable task on short notice."

"Thank you for your effort," said Chen Mu as he stepped forward, took out a grey cloth bag from his sleeve, and quietly placed it next to the pen stand at the corner of the desk.

The bald middle-aged man swept it into his sleeve, and his brow immediately relaxed: "Then I’ll help you look into it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned back slightly, rolling his eyes upward. Then, dense tiny points of silver-white light began to emerge from the base of his eyes. Those points leapt and whirled about, like a myriad of stars in the night sky.

Chen Mu watched the man’s eyes with amazement.

In the past, whether it was at Tongtian River Lower Courtyard or the Five Mountains of East Ridge, he would find work locally. The staff who assigned tasks at those Administrative Affairs Institutes needed to look through current records and search physically.

This one...

"Could it be he has memorized all the data in his mind?!"

With the personnel movement involving the entire Jilong Road, that data was not insignificant.

This...

A human-shaped computer!

Chen Mu’s curiosity was piqued as he continued to watch the man.

"No wonder Qing Lu is so familiar with the locations of each of the Scripture Pavilion’s scrolls; he must have this secret technique," Chen Mu realized suddenly.

"Found it!" It didn’t take long for the light in the man’s eyes to recede.

"You really are quite lucky." The bald middle-aged man looked intrigued, "The Upper Court of Jilong Road is actually short of someone to refine Fasting Pills!"

To be able to go to the Upper Court? Was such good luck possible?!

"A disciple from the Pill Treasure Pavilion wants to come to East Ridge and they’re short of someone to take their place, so..." The bald middle-aged man looked enviously at Chen Mu.

"That’s the core Upper Court of Jilong Road. Why would they think of coming to this backwater Five Mountains of East Ridge?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

Ever since the Five Mountains of East Ridge were completely opened, disciples from the Upper Court had been coming in a continuous stream.

"It’s not surprising, this place may be remote, but the expenses are less," said the bald middle-aged man indifferently: "The Daoist site on Jade Spring Mountain was newly constructed, and the price is only half of that in the Upper Court."

"The other four mountains will also be built one after another, and the prices might even be cheaper."

"Be it food, lodging, or cultivation resources, everything is more economical when compared to the Upper Court."

Chen Mu immediately came to a realization.

It was much like the first-tier cities in a previous life. More prosperous indeed, but the cost of living was also higher.

The newly developed East Ridge offered lower consumption costs and plenty of opportunities, hence drawing a swarm of Upper Court disciples.

"If you want to go, I can make a note for you," the manager offered.

"Next month, when the Cloud Bat Flying Boat arrives, you can follow it to the Jilong Road Upper Court."

Chen Mu nodded right away, "Thank you for the trouble, manager."

With the Exquisite Jade Plate, he could gather Earth Spirit Vitality, so he didn’t rely heavily on the Daoist training grounds.

Others might complain about the high expenses at the Upper Court’s training grounds, but he valued the stability and safety of the Upper Court more.

...

On the western side of Mist Smoke Mountain’s waist.

In the dense jungle, a bare patch devoid of trees or grass looked like an unsightly patch, with a faint grey mist spreading within.

A fist-sized bird with black feathers glided through the air, and as soon as it passed through the grey mist, it began to wobble, zigzagging drunkenly from left to right. It didn’t get far before plummeting into the dense forest.

In the center of the clearing, on the first floor of the Alchemist Bamboo Tower.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged behind a long desk, his hands pressed on the Primordial Furnace, focusing intently on controlling his mana to perform alchemy.

Puff!

A muted thump sounded, and Chen Mu sighed, a look of regret on his face.

"Just a bit more..."

With a flick of his mana, the lid of the Pill Furnace popped up and floated midair. A cloud of grey smoke immediately rose and spread out.

He waved his hand to create a gust of wind, fanning the failed miasma out of the room. While using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain to clean the Pill Furnace, Chen Mu reflected on the process.

Despite some disappointment, he was not discouraged.

The number on the grey wall told him that although he had failed just now, he had gained quite a bit of experience.

At this stage, he had mastered all the Essence Talismans to extract the essence of the Poisonous Miasma, the Through-Rhino Talismans for absorbing miasma, and the Golden Bead Talismans for pill formation.

"I just need to familiarize myself with the fusion conditions such as Qi Forbidden and Thunder Sound needed for the All-Disease Pill, and I will be able to succeed in one fell swoop," Chen Mu thought as he consulted the grey wall.

Alchemy (Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill): 8280/10000;

"Almost there."

After a short rest, he once again added Poisonous Miasma and the essence of Earth Spirit Rhino Horn into the furnace and began another alchemy attempt.

With previous experience, the control of the Wind Fire Pivot Charm and Qi Forbidden Thunder Sound became more proficient.

In just a quarter of an hour, the Primordial Furnace suddenly trembled. Sensing through his mana into the furnace, Chen Mu’s tense face immediately relaxed.

He quickly opened the lid of the furnace, using Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles to capture his creation.

An All-Disease Elixir Pill the size of a quail egg, grey and semi-transparent, appeared before his eyes.

"Success!"

...

Outside the Alchemist Bamboo Tower, a rocking chair was placed beside the east-facing window.

Chen Mu lay in the chair, examining the newly minted All-Disease Pill in his hand.

He could clearly feel a subtle force that, centered on the Elixir Pill, was circulating back and forth around him.

Under this force, the pale grey mist that was initially lingering near the bamboo tower was being drawn slowly towards Chen Mu.

As it approached within three meters of him, it was collected by an invisible force, turning into fine, invisible threads that entered the All-Disease Pill and disappeared.

"The All-Disease Pill itself absorbs the miasma, and when released through a special method, it can even continue to be used to refine All-Disease Pills. Tsk tsk..."

"What an ingenious idea, Uncle Master Rong Qiu has quite the skill."

After pondering for a while, Chen Mu put away the pill.

"Having succeeded in making the All-Disease Pill, it counts as accomplishing a major task."

"Now I should ponder how to leave Mist Smoke Mountain."

Currently a Scripture Transmitting Pavilion Scholar, if he wanted to leave, he first needed to find a replacement.

But the pay for Scholars at Mist Smoke Mountain was too low, and the head of the institute, Qing Lu, was a perfectionist with a mania for cleanliness, with many requirements. Apart from someone like him who wasn’t lacking in White Jade and wanted a peaceful cultivation environment, there really weren’t many who would take the job.

Moreover, with the recent development of East Ridge, there were many ways to earn White Jade Coins. In such times, finding someone to take over this arduous duty...

"That’s going to be a bit difficult."
