I am grinding experience in another world

Shuanghua Valley is like spring all year round.

Chen Mu’s life was calm and routine, and half a year passed by unconsciously.

This day, under the big tree on the hillside, he lay in the rocking chair, like usual, refining the Yellow Springs Gourd.

After a long while, Chen Mu opened his eyes, and a gray stone gate floated before him.

Yellow Springs Gourd: 1/10000/Fourth Rank;

At this moment, inside the Jade Seed, above the original gold and black spherical body, another slightly smaller sphere had appeared.

At first glance, it already had a little shape of a small gourd.

“It’s not easy at all.”

With the stone gate as an aid, and the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture accelerating the process, he originally thought it would take at most three to four months to refine the Third Phase Spirit Treasure Talisman, but unexpectedly, it took more than half a year.

Earlier in the first and second phases, things were still manageable, but upon reaching the third phase, there were also nine Spirit Treasure Talismans, but each talisman’s complexity increased rapidly.

In the later stages, every time a talisman collapsed, it took two to three days just to return to the point before the failure.

Even with the assistance of the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture, the time spent inevitably increased.

“This is just the third phase. The challenges ahead might be even tougher and more time-consuming.”

“No wonder Qi Cultivators need several decades, even a century, to cultivate the Inner Cultivation Spiritual Treasure Method through hard work.”

“This method is indeed difficult to cultivate,” Chen Mu sighed.

“I still need to increase my proficiency in the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture.” He couldn’t help but glance at another column on the stone gate.

Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture: 5237/10000/Seventh Rank;

In the past six months, every time the Yellow Springs Gourd collapsed, he would spend half a day pondering the Shuanghua Valley Mountain Protection Magical Barrier, thereby improving his Spiritual Treasure Core Mechanism Technique experience.

“Unfortunately, this is the limit,” Chen Mu shook his head.

The Mountain Protection Magical Barrier is extremely complex.

Not only can it mobilize Earth Spirit Element, stimulate Mountain Protection Spirit Light, but it is also connected to the earth vein, assisting the earth vein in converting Heavenly Star Essence into Earth Spirit Element.

Exploration over the past half year greatly accelerated the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture progress.

If one wants to continue using the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier to cultivate, they must delve into the secrets of the earth vein law barrier to understand the mystery behind Heavenly Star Essence’s transformation into Earth Spirit Element.

“The earth vein law barrier is the innate forbidden law formed by the heaven and earth, with my current level of Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture, it’s fundamentally impossible to penetrate it; forcibly observing is just a waste of effort.”

He had tried several times over the past few days.

He could only vaguely sense the divine charm of the earth vein vein acupoints, but could not observe the power flow trajectory within it like he could with the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier.

“Time to change the practice target,” Chen Mu lowered his head to look at the ground. For more chapters visit novel~fire~net

He thought of the twelve Soul-Calming Stakes buried deep underground.

“Should I use the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture to explore the depths of the Yin Cultivation Strategy?” Chen Mu was eager.

When he first discovered the Soul-Calming Stakes, Chen Mu was afraid of causing trouble, so he ignored them.

Now, having stayed in Shuanghua Valley for almost a year, apart from the initial investigation by Lock Dragon Courtyard scouts, it has been tranquil ever since.

Since that’s the case…

“I can use this chance to gain some experience in the Spiritual Treasure Core Mechanism Technique, at most just to take a look, what trouble could it possibly cause?”

“Let’s do it!”

…

Several days later.

Deep underground, within a hemispherical cave.

Chen Mu circled around the black Soul-Calming Stake in surprise.

He extended his right hand, causing the Yin Spirit Divine Power to tremble, and ran the long-unused Dew Harvesting Spell.

Wisps of white mist gathered, swirling like a vortex. A clear, transparent droplet of water formed and floated above his palm.

“No wonder the Yin Cultivation Strategy can breed Ghosts and Netherworld Worms.”

“Apart from calming ghosts, the twelve Soul-Calming Stakes can actually transform Heavenly Star Essence into Netherworld Jade Dew?!”

“Interesting.”

Jade Dew is food for Yin Spirits and can only be gathered using the Dew Harvesting Spell at sites where the forces of the Netherworld or River of Oblivion are evident.

“Ancient Thousand Mountains Daoists must have studied the Netherworld.”

“Otherwise, the Thousand Mountains Sutra wouldn’t contain so many secret techniques related to Yin Ghosts,” Chen Mu pondered.

“Too bad that the core Soul-Calming Stakes are so profound, the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture is equally hard to comprehend.”

“However, it’s not entirely without harvest.”

He chuckled, exited the underground, and returned under the shade of the small hillside tree to retrieve the Five Ghosts Bag hanging from his chest.

Immediately, streams of Ghosts darted out from the bag like black lightning, enveloping the entire small hillside like a dark cloud.

An icy aura spread out, causing the leisurely Double Flower Rabbits to panic and burrow underground to escape.

“Too many Ghosts are really hard to maintain,” Chen Mu looked up at the dark cloud and sighed helplessly.

Simply placing the Ghosts inside the Five Ghosts Bag doesn’t require feeding. They seem to be self-sufficient, not starving to death.

But if one wants to use them to aid cultivation, extra blood and vital energy must be provided.

Over the past year, although Chen Mu focused on refining the Yellow Springs Gourd, he didn’t forget the transformation of the Heavenly Demon Body.

In the gaps between refining the Spiritual Treasure, he would use the Yin-Yang Transformation to convert Yin Soul Strange Divine Power into Taiyin Qi, in order to nourish his Heavenly Demon Body.

Moreover, the Yin Soul Strange was also one of the cores of the Secret Technique Candle Dragon Transformation, and to ensure the power of this secret technique, it required active feeding to strengthen the yin spirits.

Thus over a year passed, the Incense Spiritual Energy previously taken from Zhang’an County in Great Hong was nearly depleted.

But now it was alright, as the Yin Nourishing Strategy could actually convert Jade Dew!

This was truly like finding a pillow when sleepy!

“Using the sect’s Forbidden Law to nurture one’s own yin spirits.”

“Very worthwhile indeed!”

With a shift of his thoughts, the Yama Emperor’s Command was activated.

The Yin Soul Strange, which originally ran around like a mad dog out of its cage, instantly became as obedient as a quail.

The Five Ghosts Paper Dolls flew into the sky, like generals leading teams of Yin Soul Strange flying to various parts of Shuanghua Valley.

As they flew, patches of black smoke gradually became transparent, slowly disappearing into the void.

As long as there weren’t any special means, it basically wouldn’t be discovered by the people of Shuanghua Institute.

“Even if they find out, I’m not afraid.” Chen Mu was completely unconcerned.

I’m the head of Shuanghua Institute, having thwarted Lock Dragon Courtyard’s plots several times, so what’s wrong with using the sect’s Forbidden Law?

If anyone dares to speak up, hmph!

…

Thunder Storage Creek.

Clouds hung low, curling around the mountain stream.

Lightning flashed within, occasionally accompanied by rolling thunder.

At the deepest part of the mountain stream stood a small hill at the center, upon which sat a dark iron pavilion.

At this moment, the lightning in the clouds was being pulled into the pavilion in strands.

Luo Ding, head of the Holy Heart Institute, sat cross-legged inside, expression unchanged as he bathed in the thunder.

After a while, he opened his eyes, a silver light tinged with blood flashing across them before subsiding.

With a wave of his hand, the thunder inside the pavilion dispersed, and the lightning in the clouds scattered to other directions of the mountain stream.

Listening to the thunderous heartbeat like muffled thunder in his chest, Luo Ding curled his lips into a smile: “Indeed, using the Holy Heart Technique to harbor the Twelve True Forms’ bloodline is feasible!”

“Once mastered, the Twelve True Forms merge into one, achieving the Yama Sacred Heart.”

“By then, with the Yama Sacred Heart nourishing the Heaven-Reaching Rat True Body, mastering the Heaven-Reaching Rat True Form will be effortless.”

“The path of combining yin and yang afterward will be a smooth one!” He slowly clenched his fist, his heart stirred.

“Soon, very soon!”

“As long as there are enough Heart Nourishing Pills, the Yama Sacred Heart can be accomplished soon!”

Luo Ding’s eyes hardened, and with a boom, transformed into a silver Escape Light, disappearing in an instant.

…

In the depth of the night.

At the front of the Divine Communication Hall in Shuanghua Valley.

Chen Mu was enjoying boiled meat from the Pill Furnace while admiring the magnificent night sky.

“I wonder how things are going on with the Corner Star constellation.”

He thought of Steward Wu Gang and the Daoist Soldiers he knew from the Heavenly Pass Star.

“All I can do is wish you the best of luck.”

“Hmm, this soup-dipped fish slice is so tender…”

After the meal.

Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, accompanied by the creaking sound as he slightly planned his cultivation path.

“The Yellow Springs Gourd remains the top priority.”

Not only does it concern the long-term path of cultivation, but the gourd itself is also a valuable artifact for protection, worth the investment of time and effort.

“The Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture must also continue to be honed.”

This secret technique acts as an accelerator for refining Spiritual Treasures, becoming more useful the higher its level.

“Other secret techniques can only be temporarily set aside.” Chen Mu sighed at the rows of secret techniques upon the stone gate.

Previously, there was a time when he wanted to practice the Ten Directions Hand, but as the situation kept changing, there was scarcely any time for cultivation.

“I can only return to it after mastering the Yellow Springs Gourd.”

Learning too much isn’t good, having only one person, there’s simply not enough energy to practice everything.

“I must quickly refine the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture first, for sharpening the axe does not delay the work of chopping firewood.”

Chen Mu raised his hand, black and red light flickering and expanding, a fist-sized white Bone Sphere and a jet-black Moon Blade appeared in his palm.

“The Mountain Protection Magical Barrier and Soul-Calming Stake can no longer provide experience.”

“Yin-Yang Transformation is an Outer Cultivation Treasure, fundamentally the same as Spiritual Treasures in some aspects.”

“It can conveniently be used to hone the proficiency of the Spiritual Treasure Core Mechanism Technique.”
