I am grinding experience in another world

Chapter 709 - 697 Secret Technique Enhancement

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon this day, a sudden brightness emerged from the jade-white Heaven’s Gate within the Heavenly Craft Camp, as two figures walked out from it.

Seeing Zhou Tong waiting not far from the Heaven’s Gate, Li Jiu and Fei Zhao quickly stepped forward and greeted him with folded fists, “Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Fei Zhao apologized with a guilty look, “We were supposed to come yesterday, but there was an issue with the Heaven’s Gate, delaying the hour. I deeply apologize for keeping you waiting, Senior Brother.”

With a full smile, Zhou Tong approached them, “With Junior Brother and Sister here, I finally feel at ease. It’s just a little delay, no need for such politeness.”

He waved his hand, entirely unconcerned, and instead focused on another matter.

“Could someone be sabotaging the Heaven’s Gate?” This inevitably reminded him of the previous encounter on Border Shelter Star.

“There’s no need to worry, Senior Brother.” Li Jiu explained with a smile, “Jiao Mu Star Lord is re-governing the Heavenly Gate Pillar and thirty-two stars, with power dispersed, some incapable. It’s unavoidable that the Heaven’s Gate encounters turbulence.”

Zhou Tong nodded in realization.

“Did Elder Lan provide any other instructions, upon your arrival?” He leaned closer to the two and asked quietly.

“The matter reported to Senior Brother might involve Sect Master Lu, Elder Lan advised us not to act rashly.” Fei Zhao spoke solemnly, “To avoid alerting the enemy, Elder instructed us to just watch and see.”

Watching and waiting quietly is indeed a wise course of action.

Zhou Tong felt relieved.

He had contacted Heavenly Pass City a few days ago, yet the idea of leaving Fire Dao Star hadn’t succeeded. Now, with Elder Lan instructing them not to provoke the monster, it was just in line with his intent.

“Let’s go to my waterside pavilion for a feast to welcome both of you.” Zhou Tong beamed with a full smile, pulling them toward the depths of the Heavenly Craft Camp.

On the West side of the camp, within the Demon Dispel Department tent.

Chen Mu’s ears twitched, listening to Zhou Tong and the others’ conversation, also relieved in his heart.

“Finally, this matter is over.”

Previously, the Giant Spirit Divine was unexpectedly blocked by Zhou Tong, which made him anxious. Even if Zhou Tong behaved, there was no guarantee that the Thousand Mechanisms Sect wouldn’t send someone more powerful for a pursuit.

Now things were fine, the Thousand Mechanisms Sect seemed to mistakenly attribute the Giant Spirit Divine to Lu Shenjun’s handiwork, deciding to hold off. This was genuinely good news for Chen Mu.

“Besides, I wasn’t planning to continue sending the Giant Spirit Divine out to harvest monsters.”

“The longer it drags on, the better it is for me.”

Chen Mu returned to his senses, humming a tune, while leisurely handling the red scorpion-like monster on the stone pedestal in front of him.

“These little monsters aren’t worth your effort, what if you get exhausted?” Wu Gang quickly approached the stone pedestal upon entering the tent, with a solemn face, “You should rest, leave this little task to me.”

“It’s not about me getting tired, you just want my Nourishing Essence Wine.” Chen Mu gave the stout man a sidelong glance and said.

Wu Gang chuckled with a guilty look, unashamedly acknowledging it.

Nourishing Essence Wine was made from a mix of Replenishing Origin Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine, which could nurture the essence and strengthen the foundation to nourish the Spiritual Deity.

For Wu Gang, a Qi Cultivator currently in the Condensing Aperture stage, it was the equivalent of a Rejuvenation Pill, speeding up his cultivation.

Simply helping to handle a monster was far more economical than spending a great deal on purchasing Rejuvenation Pills.

“Look…” Wu Gang rubbed his hands together, with a fawning smile.

“The Nourishing Essence Wine can be handed over to you as usual, but…” Chen Mu said leisurely.

“Command me, if there’s anything.” Wu Gang promised decisively.

“No big deal, just go to the Five Clouds Department and find some monsters of different species for me to dissect.” Chen Mu waved his hand.

Finding monsters of different species to skin and dissect?

Your hobby is indeed somewhat creepy!

Watching Chen Mu skillfully separating the shell from the monster, and thinking of the eerie Cursing Method that inexplicably made his legs weak, Wu Gang felt his scalp tingling.

The means were sinister, the hobby bizarre, plus possessing the Plague Immortal Flag. This man surely is a loyal minister of Sect Master Lu Shenjun.

Hiding within the Demon Dispel Department, could it be that he’s scheming something major?

Being dragged into this, he found himself…

Wu Gang broke out in a cold sweat.

“Any problems?” Chen Mu frowned.

After all, it’s just fetching monsters of different species, shouldn’t be hard?

Wu Gang shivered and shook his head quickly, denying any issues, “No problem, not a problem at all!”

Saying so, he bade a hurried farewell and ran away.

“I wonder what that stout guy is imagining. Why does he seem so afraid of me? I haven’t even done anything.” Chen Mu wondered.

Thinking for a moment and still puzzled, he shook his head to dismiss the stray thoughts and looked at the gray wall before him.

Heavenly Demon Armor: 9707/10000/Seventh Rank;

“Another slight increase in experience indeed.”

This was a change he noticed only in the past few days.

Each time he began processing a new species of monster, the Heavenly Demon Armor inexplicably gained some experience.

“Is it possible that the Heavenly Demon Armor can autonomously absorb the monster’s Qi and thereby accelerate cultivation?” Chen Mu speculated.

The Heavenly Demon Armor had previously absorbed the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles of the Heavenly Demon Body, causing a drastic rise in experience. It later gained the capability to shield the Spiritual Deity, successfully blocking the Yellow Millet Plague Poison.

Later at the Hundred Illusion Sect, it absorbed the primordial Qi from the nine-headed demon, with the experience surging again, significantly enhancing its defense power.

Progress had been slow since then, due to concentration on Daoist Foundation cultivation, and this technique was temporarily set aside. Unexpectedly, it now showed new changes.

“On this Outer Heaven Star, there are not many things but various monsters and demons, perhaps capable of advancing the Heavenly Demon Armor to a new tier.”

Days later, in the evening.

Within the Snail Shell room, Chen Mu held the palm-sized crimson Five Ghosts Bag, lying in a rocking chair with closed eyes.

With a thought, the Giant Spirit Divine manifested within the Five Ghosts Bag.

At this moment, most of the bag’s space was occupied by the huge white deer, with ghosts squeezed into the corner.

Watching the huddle, each black smoke cluster snugly packed, Chen Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

“Thanks to these ghosts, otherwise I could never have captured this Great Demon Deer.”

The Five Ghosts Bag originally had over thirty square meters at four to five meters high, after years of mana nurturing, it only expanded slightly.

On Jilong Road, he discovered that ghosts could enlarge the Five Ghosts Bag’s space, but truly amplifying the space extensively had to be credited to these ghosts at present.

“The essence of the Five Ghosts Paper Man is ghosts, and utilizing them to enlarge the bag’s space might be an inherent function of the Five Ghosts Bag.”

“Not usually obvious, yet accumulating over time could, perhaps, surpass Thousand Lanterns City.”

After chuckling for a while, Chen Mu redirected his attention to the white giant deer.

The Giant Spirit Divine’s face unfurled a scarlet glow, covered with the invisible Heavenly Demon Armor.

Then, nine Vermilion Feather Swords flew out from under its cloak. Engaging the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique, the sword edges emitted a fierce green aura.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh…

The nine swords danced around the deer demon, easily penetrating its protective Qi mechanism, drilling into the giant deer’s body.

Within moments, the demon deer was slit open in the chest and abdomen, its fetid viscera oozing out, swiftly swallowed by the Five Ghosts Bag.

And its body was briskly sliced into small chunks by the Vermilion Feather Swords, floating mid-air before being thrown into the Bottomless Pool one by one.

“Pity I don’t know the Thousand Mechanisms Sect’s Demon Puppet Secret Technique, or I might have gained a demon deer Daoist Soldier.”

Chen Mu muttered a sentence before looking at the gray wall.

Discovering an over ten-point rise in Heavenly Demon Armor experience, he couldn’t resist smiling.

“As long as the Giant Spirit Divine is equipped with the Heavenly Demon Armor, even without me personally handling matters, it can enhance the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique experience value, how splendid!”

These days, he had tested extensively in the Heavenly Craft Camp, confirming that handling various types of monsters does indeed boost Heavenly Demon Armor experience points.

He immediately thought of the many monsters contained within the Bottomless Pool, thus coming to today’s trial.

“From now on, I’ll have the Giant Spirit Divine dive into the Five Ghosts Bag to process monsters on my behalf, while I focus on Daoist Foundation cultivation, striking a perfect balance!” He grinned.

While pondering future cultivation plans inwardly, new insights suddenly emerged in his mind.

Chen Mu peculiarly gazed at the gray wall.

Mechanical Technique: 15/10000/Seventh Rank;

These days, besides practicing the Jade Cicada Secret Scripture, he devoted most of his efforts to examining the Heavenly Demon Armor. Unexpectedly, before the Heavenly Demon Armor leveled up, the Mechanical Technique had already ascended to a new level.

“That’s it.”

“Previously, with control over the Vermilion Feather Sword for intelligence gathering, and distant connection with the Giant Spirit Divine for harvesting monsters, the frequent utilization of the Mechanical Technique naturally boosted its experience.”
