I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

In the underground secret chamber, accompanied by a crackling sound like that of ripping silk, a blue and white light burst forth.

Moments later, the light dimmed, and Chen Mu collapsed to the ground, his clothes torn to shreds. His chest, in particular, emitted white smoke and was charred black.

"If I don’t open up a new secret technique soon, I’m afraid I’ll be charred crisp on the outside and tender on the inside," said Chen Mu, his face expressing a sense of hopelessness.

To temper his bloodline, he suppressed his body’s defenses and actively endured the lightning strikes. However, the Kui Water Yin Thunder was only Second Rank and difficult to control. A slight mishap, and the Thunder Law’s power was a bit too great, causing him to burst open with his flesh splitting.

"Even if I can endure the pain and itching, but waiting for my body to recover and to bear the next lightning strike will take at least three days."

"At this rate, I might as well stick to practicing the Netherworld Grand Summary earnestly."

Chen Mu lay on the ground, not bothering to get up, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was not worth it to strike himself.

"To speed up the opening of secret techniques, either I refine the Kui Water Yin Thunder further for precise control,"

"Or I’ll have to find a way to accelerate the healing of my injuries."

Chen Mu intently focused on one of the entries.

"Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique..."

This skill came from the six siblings of Wu Mountain. Originally, he had simply copied a few secret techniques for the sake of freeloading, and after a cursory glance, he didn’t practice it further. He vaguely remembered that this Secret Technique seemed to have the ability to accelerate injury healing.

As his attention concentrated on the gray wall, a series of information surged forth in his mind.

After a long while, Chen Mu withdrew his gaze with a complex expression.

The information on the gray wall showed that the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique indeed could accelerate injury healing, and not only that, but it could also strengthen physical constitution.

But the price was somewhat sinister.

It required the Vital Energy of living beings’ souls as fuel to achieve the effects of healing and strengthening the body.

"Might as well rename yourselves the ’Sinister Six Siblings’," Chen Mu couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Almost all of the Secret Techniques obtained from the six siblings were not straightforward, each having some odd or eerie aspect.

"I remember... the Giant Spirit Divine also seems to need Vital Energy of the soul."

"So, do the Soul Capturing Return to Origin and the Giant Spirit Divine actually complement each other as two Secret Techniques?"

Chen Mu was astonished in his heart.

Using the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique to absorb the Vital Energy of others could heal his own injuries, strengthen his physique, and also support the cultivation of the Giant Spirit Divine.

"Since the Giant Spirit Divine can use Replenishing Origin Soup in place, then the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique..."

Chen Mu immediately started experimenting.

A force of Absorption swiftly concentrated in his hands.

He carefully manipulated it, directing it into his body.

As the Exotic Force entered his body, he instantly felt a sense of being stretched outward.

In the palm of his hands, a stream of blood-red smoke materialized from nothing, billowing and spreading.

Chen Mu lifted his hands and smacked the smoke into his chest.

The charred flesh immediately fell away, revealing fresh muscle rapidly regrowing at the site of the blackened and cracked wound.

With just one application, the injury at his chest was already half healed, and the branched, lightning strike patterns that spread across his chest and abdomen became fainter.

At the same time, a faint sense of depletion also arose from within his body.

Far from being scared, Chen Mu was actually delighted.

He was very familiar with this feeling; it was the same sense of depletion he experienced when he had over-practiced the Netherworld Grand Summary in the beginning.

It was the weakness caused by over-extraction of Vital Energy from within the body.

And what the Replenishing Origin Soup excelled at was precisely nurturing and replenishing the foundation!

"Isn’t this just perfect, haha!"

From then on, Chen Mu would enter the underground secret chamber every evening to cast Kui Water Yin Thunder upon himself.

Whenever he was injured, he would down a dose of Replenishing Origin Soup and press the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique onto his body.

Day after day, even if he didn’t feel the opening of secret techniques, his physique grew increasingly robust.

...

That night, on Sunrise Mountain.

The occasional sounds of insects and birds arose from time to time.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of trees were cast upon the ground.

Suddenly, the shadows began writhing and expanding, as a human silhouette slowly emerged from within the trees, revealing Chen Mu’s face filled with joy.

"It really works to escape into the plants! Haha!"

For many days, he had continually stimulated his body with the Kui Water Yin Thunder. Finally, this evening, a new secret technique emerged beneath the right side of his ribs.

It was not attached to any bodily organ, contained black mist-like Mana, and was between the states of solid and ethereal.

"All these days of hard training were not in vain."

Chen Mu was thankful that he had always kept up with his cooking skills, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to produce Replenishing Origin Soup.

Due to the solid foundation built by the Replenishing Origin Soup, he dared to use the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique unrestrainedly.

He used the Kui Water Yin Thunder to stimulate his physique every day, bringing forth an entirely new Escape Skill.

And with continual use, both the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique and the Kui Water Yin Thunder made significant progress.

Chen Mu called up the gray wall and looked at two of the columns.

Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique: 9235/10000/Third Rank;

Kui Water Yin Thunder: 3103/10000/Second Rank;

One month of intense effort, and the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique was close to entering a new stage.

Kui Water Yin Thunder also rapidly accumulated experience from daily use.

"Once the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique advances, the recovery speed will surely increase again."

"At that time, one could endure more Yin Thunder stimulation, and the rate of unlocking secret points could also be slightly faster."

"If I truly awaken the entire Five Elements Escape Technique, my life-preserving capability will definitely greatly improve," Chen Mu calculated with delight.

He once again disappeared into the vegetation, darting around Sunrise Mountain haphazardly.

Deep into the night, he wasn’t afraid of being discovered and occasionally popped his head out of the Yellow Bud Rice terraces, growing increasingly reckless.

...

As the moon reached its zenith, the mountains became even quieter.

At the mountain peak, Chen Mu, still not satisfied, emerged from a tall trunk and slowly made his way down the stone steps of the mountain, heading back to his place of residence.

Just as he reached the middle of the mountain, a short and sudden scream reached his ears.

His heart constricted, and he stimulated the Truthful Listening Technique, unseen waves spreading in all directions.

Various scenes atop Sunrise Mountain immediately surfaced in his mind.

On the west side of the mountain waist, within a secluded shack of wood and stone, a constantly writhing and struggling black shadow caught Chen Mu’s attention.

The pitch-black shadow was like a pool of dense ink, hiding in the wall’s shadow, making it difficult to discern.

If not for the struggling human-shaped bulge beneath that shadow, Chen Mu wouldn’t have been able to notice it.

But within the span of a few breaths, the figure seemed to be digested, quickly withering away and completely vanishing from sight.

Meanwhile, the black shadow returned to tranquility, merging completely with the house’s wall shadow. Had he not been watching it intently, it would have been impossible to spot!

"What kind of demon is this? Such impressive concealment!" Chen Mu’s heart was chilled, "If I hadn’t heard the scream, even if it crawled into my own shadow, would I not have been able to see it?!"

"Hmm... With such ability, has it already infiltrated Sunrise Mountain tonight? In that case, isn’t it very likely that it saw me merging with the vegetation?" Chen Mu felt his scalp tighten all of a sudden.

"This thing is really too dangerous!"

In the next instant, a streak of red light descended from the sky, swiftly pinning the shadow that had just crawled out of the room to the ground.

Though it seemed like a shadow, when the Magic Sword pierced it, it felt as if it had hit tough cowhide.

The shadow screamed shrilly, like a wild beast, and then suddenly leapt up, allowing the Flying Sword to go through itself. Desperate to escape despite severe injury, it bolted toward the dense forest.

"Very ferocious, indeed dangerous!"

"Mechanical!"

Another streak of red light fell from the sky, pinning it to the ground once more.

Before the shadow could struggle free, mana surged wildly within Chen Mu’s body.

Three Vermilion Feather Swords appeared at once, repeatedly thrusting and piercing the shadow on the ground.

After stabbing it eighty-three times, turning the shadow into a sieve, Chen Mu finally ceased the Vermilion Feather Swords.

The shadow continued to wriggle and struggle on the ground, like a boiling sludge swamp.

It took a long time before it finally stopped moving.

Then, the shadow began to contract slowly and eventually transformed into a burly stranger dressed in black.

The man was drenched in blood, with wounds punctured by the Flying Sword faintly visible under his tattered clothing.

Chen Mu pulled his Magic Sword closer for a careful examination, but before he could clearly see the man’s face, streams of red light suddenly shot out from inside the black-clad man’s body. The entire person ignited from the inside, reducing him to a pile of white ash that disappeared in moments with his clothes.

Not far away, the surface of a large tree rippled like water. Chen Mu, furrowing his brows, stared intently at the white ash and emerged from the trunk with a grave expression.

"To think it was a person?"

"Was it the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, or the techniques from the Embroidery Technique Secret Record of the Witch Gu sect?"

"Transforming oneself into a mire-like dark shadow doesn’t seem like the method of a conventional Qi Cultivator."

"Such covert action capability is truly unusual."

He glanced again toward the lonely shack beside the forest, "Who lives in there, worthy of such a person’s stealthy assault in the dead of night?"

The Vermilion Feather Swords spread out in all directions, with Truthful Listening encompassing the vicinity. Yet all around was deathly still; besides himself, there wasn’t another soul.

"There might be big trouble behind this," Chen Mu’s brows instantly knitted together into a frown.

"Perhaps it’s best to pretend nothing happened and stay out of it," he decided.

With his mind set, Chen Mu quickly retreated, stepped into the trunk, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

...

The night was silent, and the moon slowly inclined to the west.

When a hint of red light gradually appeared on the eastern horizon.

In the still woods, a shadow moved silently. The next moment, figures stood up from within it, turning into several muscular men clad in black.

"The aura of Eleven disappeared right here," said the leader in black, halting to touch the white ashes that the mountain wind had yet to disperse.

"No ordinary Lower Courtyard disciple could make Eleven disappear without a trace," another black-clad man spoke up in a low voice.

"Sunrise Mountain is a bit sinister. It’s no wonder the general cautioned us to be wary of this mountain before he left," another man with tightly furrowed brows said, "Eleven is also a failure; Jilong Mountain is so big, there are plenty of places to find a person’s pillar, but he insisted on burrowing around here."

"He’s dead, so at least that’s clean, but I’m afraid that if we’ve already startled the snake, it could put us in danger."

"Should we hide for a while?"

The man who had been examining the ashes stood up, "We can’t stop the business of setting up human pillars."

"Avoid Sunrise Mountain and first search atop Jilong Mountain."

"As for Sunrise Mountain, let’s wait for the general to come back and decide."

The remaining ten black-clad men exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The next moment, eleven black-clad figures retreated into the shade. Their bodies collapsed like dirt ink, and in an instant, they turned into a layer of shadow clinging to the ground, rapidly wriggling along with the fading dawn, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
