I am grinding experience in another world

Thousand Lanterns City.

Ten dazzling Soul-Attracting Lamps were suspended high in the sky, and Chen Mu stood at the entrance porch, opening his mouth to let out a huge yawn. Far away, in the campsite, a green light soared into the sky, so bright that Chen Mu could barely keep his eyes open.

Tsk! They really can grind away!

For half a month in a row, Chen Mu had been staying up all night with these old ghosts, cultivating immortality.

With Replenishing Origin Soup replenishing their essence, those fellows became more and more spirited as they practiced, but Chen Mu himself was left feeling out of sorts, unable to enjoy his meals or sleep well.

"Yo! You’re up a bit late today. What’s the matter, as diligent as you are, even you would indulge in lying in?" Shen Yan teased with his sleeves rolled up, carrying a small basket of freshly picked tender vegetables, and standing at the doorway with hands on hips.

"You don’t understand! This is called a combination of work and rest!" Chen Mu retorted confidently: "We Qi Cultivators cultivate just like this!"

"Right, right, right, you’re the Qi Cultivator, you make the rules."

"Go eat your veggies!" Chen Mu waved his sleeve and walked huffily into the wooden building.

How can you level up experience by tirelessly grinding? It has to be done with a sense of balance!

...

Five to six thousand Yin Spirits trained hard daily in the Triple Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse, and although they hadn’t mastered the Divine Ghost Pattern yet, their Yin Spirit Divine Power increased day by day.

The stockpiled Jiao meat that Chen Mu had saved up was quickly consumed.

To maintain high-intensity cultivation, the Yin Spirits within Thousand Lanterns City began taking turns venturing out to hunt down Nether Demons and Exotic Beasts.

At this time, the Mountain-Carrying Scripture came in handy. Hundreds of Yin Spirits, working together, saw their strength greatly increased. Though they couldn’t kill the powerful Nether Demons like multi-headed Jiaos, heading out to sea to catch some sawtoothed fish beasts wasn’t a problem.

Chen Mu left the specific personnel arrangements to Shen Yan, enjoying his own leisure time.

Every day, he only needed to open and close the doors of Thousand Lanterns City, brew the base solution for Replenishing Origin Soup once, and spend most of his remaining time hiding in the small building, either practicing Secret Techniques or pondering his cooking skills.

Monsters in Nether Demon Heaven were fierce, and many had poisonous flesh, but occasionally he would stumble upon some good ingredients, not only tasty but also with exceptional effects.

Inside the kitchen on the first floor of the wooden building, Chen Mu sighed, feeding a strange fish with four claws to the Five Ghosts Bag: "Another day of missing that old man Jia."

Although that old codger wasn’t a good man, his skill in finding Nether Demon Heaven’s ingredients was extraordinary.

In the past few days, the Yin Spirits had brought back many Exotic Beasts and Nether Demons from the hunts, but there were only a few that could actually be eaten. This was only because he had cooking skills and special processing methods; otherwise, none of them would be edible.

Thinking of this, he pulled up the grey wall interface to check the several experiences he was grinding recently.

Cooking: 7975/10000/Sixth Rank;

Netherworld Guide: 5390/10000; Fifth Rank;

Jade Gate Curse: 9351/10000/Fourth Rank;

"After Sixth Rank, leveling up in cooking is too slow, relying on this ability to seek out Nether Demon Heaven’s ingredients might not be possible in the short term," Chen Mu shook his head but was not disappointed.

Searching for ingredients was just for trying new and exotic flavors. Finding them would be a delight, but it was no big deal if he didn’t.

"However, the Jade Gate Curse is about to advance. These next few days, I should practice it a bit more."

This Cursing Method was the key for their return to the Netherworld. Apart from the daily unwavering collection of weak water to refine the Divine Fetus, he mostly spent his time on this Secret Technique.

...

In the following days, he stopped pondering over ingredients and used all his free time to grind experience for the Jade Gate Curse.

That day, on the porch to the left of the entrance, Chen Mu was lying on a swaying rocking chair with his eyes closed, cultivating. Five little paper figures sat on top of the chair’s backrest, swaying with the chair as if they were on a swing. Experience more content on NovelBin.Côm

At a certain moment, a vague sensation of being called suddenly emerged in his mind. After carefully sensing for a moment, Chen Mu couldn’t help but open his eyes.

"Someone has actually triggered the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed?"

He glanced up and saw that the campsite nearby was still ablaze with green light, looking like some monstrous ghost nest, making Chen Mu’s eyelids twitch.

Clearly, it was not these fellows who had triggered the Spiritual Seed as they were deeply engrossed in the Triple Yin Curse, with no free time to spare.

"Could it be the Yin Spirits that fled from the camp of the character ’you’ back then?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

It wasn’t surprising to him that some Yin Spirits were alive. What was surprising was the timing of when these Yin Spirits had started trying to activate the Spiritual Seed.

"They actually waited for over a month before trying? Tsk, quite the cautious bunch."

He guessed that these Yin Spirits were probably also spooked by the big changes at the ’you’ character camp.

The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed was somewhat tricky, not asking for anything in return for giving skills, looking like a pitfall fallen from the sky.

If they were activating the Spiritual Seed now, it was likely because they were at their wit’s end and had no other choice.

"Should I pass on the Transmission Secret Method to these people?" Chen Mu stroked his chin, undecided.

During this time, the Divine Ghost Pattern flashed daily, sometimes twice a day a Divine Fetus Fragment would be derived.

Chen Mu was very clear, it must be because of the return of the Heavenly Seed that brought about these extraordinary results.

"If I turn a deaf ear, these fleeing Yin Spirits will probably die in great numbers soon, and then when the Spiritual Seeds return..." Chen Mu couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mu eventually shook his head and sighed.

In the end, he was just an ordinary person.

Not exactly a good person, but he also could not bring himself to harm others’ cultivation.

"It’s just a bit of Yin Spirit Divine Power after all..."

His origin was now strong, he had an immense amount of Divine Power himself, and he could also exert the Mountain-Carrying Scripture to borrow more, so this bit of loss was affordable.

"In the long run, the longer these people live, the stronger they become, the more benefits the return of the Spiritual Seeds will bring."

"I suppose this is a long-term investment," said Chen Mu with a chuckle, shrugging his shoulders.

Immediately, a cluster of Yin Spirit Divine Power trembled and transformed in front of his eyes, turning into a thread of silver line that recorded the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, and drilled into the void disappearing from sight.

...

In the following days, as if a switch had been triggered, Yin Spirits occasionally activated the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed.

Chen Mu continued to cultivate immortality as usual, using the Divine Fetus to block the touch of the Spiritual Seeds when busy, only responding to the call of the seeds in his spare time.

In just a few days, those guys noticed Chen Mu’s habits, with the timing of touching the Spiritual Seeds almost all concentrated in the evening.

After passing the initial peak of experience transmission, the number of people touching the Spiritual Seeds also began to plummet dramatically.

Chen Mu speculated that it was because these people had scattered in teams, mostly gathering in groups.

After one person tried the Spiritual Seed, others started to follow suit, and the numbers surged. Once everyone had tried it, the number of people touching the Spiritual Seeds started to drop sharply.

Chen Mu didn’t pay much attention to it, transmitting Secret Techniques when someone activated it, and not pondering further when no one did, focusing most of his energy on the Jade Gate Curse.

That day, Chen Mu called up the gray wall.

Jade Gate Curse: 72/10000/Fifth Rank;

He stared at the item on the wall, but his eyes were somewhat scattered.

Strands of understanding surfaced in his mind, making Chen Mu indulge in them unwillingly. Two days passed before he completely snapped back to reality.

"Do you think we can make our own Ghost Gate?" As soon as he woke up, Chen Mu excitedly went to find Shen Yan, who was loosening the soil in the vegetable garden.

Shen Yan straightened up and glanced at Chen Mu, unable to help but let out a sigh. "I said it’s not good to be too comfortable..."

"It’s too taxing on the brain!"

Chen Mu’s face immediately turned dark.

"Don’t glare at me, even if you glare I still wouldn’t know how to make it." Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "That thing is a secret from the Netherworld, at the very least it’s something only city lords would know, how could a mere Military Supervisor like me know."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu’s mouth curled into a smile instead.

Inside the Fifth Rank Jade Gate Curse, there was information on how to craft the Ghost Gate, yet old ghost Shen knew nothing about it.

It seemed that the control old ghost Shen had over the Jade Gate Curse had indeed been surpassed by him.

The old fellow wanted to use his many years of experience with the Jade Gate Curse to set a trap for him.

"It’s lucky you’re one of us now, otherwise I’d definitely trick you harshly," said Chen Mu with a beaming smile.

What does that mean?

Shen Yan couldn’t help but be startled.

Then he watched as a cluster of silvery threads of Secret Techniques converged and disappeared in front of Chen Mu. The next moment, his mind was suddenly filled with a series of Secret Technique information.

Upon a brief glance, Shen Yan got a shock, this damn guy actually knew how to make the Ghost Gate?!

"There’s none of this stuff in the Jade Gate Curse, right?" asked Shen Yan, full of disbelief.

"That’s because you lack comprehension, you can’t perceive it," Chen Mu lifted his chin slightly, wearing a look of disdain and pride.

Shen Yan’s mouth twitched in response.

He never thought that someone could derive Magic Artifact crafting information from a control Dharma Curse.

Could having two heads actually grant such good comprehension?

Maybe I should also practice an external incarnation Secret Technique to test its effectiveness?
