I am grinding experience in another world

"Hmm..."

A melodious sound appeared by my ear.

Chen Mu suddenly came to his senses and involuntarily looked towards the grey wall.

Five Dragons Scripture: 5/10000/First Rank;

"I’ve already entered the threshold..."

Intermittent insights surfaced in his mind. He couldn’t help but extend his right hand, operating the Yin Spirit Divine Power.

A faint black light flashed around his body, and fallen leaves on the ground moved without wind—the presence of an unseen force appeared beside him.

This force seemed to come alive, swirling and flowing around him; the two Moonlight Trees in the yard were like ostriches sensing a fierce beast, their fiery red leaves huddling together, rustling as if shuddering.

"Five Dragon Dharma Body?"

Chen Mu felt a surge of joy in his heart.

According to the feedback from the grey wall, the Dharma Aspect is exclusive to those who have reached Perfection in the Divine Fetus Realm, capable of initially manifesting Innate Divine Demon Powers, emanating an aura similar to that surrounding divine demons—a ceaseless, vibrant energy with protective, deterring, defensive, and retaliatory properties.

The Five Dragons Scripture is mysterious, utilizing Yin Spirit Divine Power to artificially create the Five Dragon Dharma Body. It possesses an innate protective aura and formidable life-absorbing strength. Apart from requiring a significant external force for cultivation and maintenance, its power is nearly identical to that of the Divine Fetus Dharma Aspect.

"Why do I feel like it’s an invisible Magic Artifact crafted using Yin Spirit Divine Power?" Chen Mu marveled to himself.

"I underestimated Old Shen before."

That old fellow was a Divine Fetus Realm Yin Spirit, and he didn’t put up much resistance after being suppressed by the Yama Emperor’s Command. Chen Mu thought that was all there was to a Divine Fetus Yin Spirit.

Now, he realized that his opponent must have been severely injured by Lan Zhang beforehand, and initially wanted to cunningly trap Chen Mu, which is why he didn’t display much of his power.

But in reality, the power of the Divine Fetus was incredibly strong. For instance, Lan Zhang, who had also cultivated a Divine Fetus, managed to achieve great feats with immeasurable strength.

"With the Five Dragon Dharma Body to counteract the daunting aura of consciousness, if I encounter that long-bearded whale again, I should no longer be dazed, right?" Chen Mu thought of the bright yellow eyeballs and still couldn’t suppress his astonishment and fear.

After careful consideration, Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief, "Well... I’d better avoid encountering it again if I can."

Though he might still be unable to face the whale-like Strange Demon, the mysterious nature of the Five Dragon Dharma Body was undeniable. It allowed a Yin Soldier to gain Divine Fetus powers in advance—this alone was not something ordinary Secret Techniques could achieve.

"What a Secret Technique!"

...

Two days later, inside the small courtyard of Ningyun Square.

Chen Mu watched Lü Liang helplessly, finding the Five Dragons Scripture excellent, but when it was time to pay the price, he couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

"Twenty thousand men..."

Lü Liang carefully scrutinized Chen Mu’s expression, realizing that Chen Mu seemed genuinely unaware of the number of Spiritual Seeds sowed and immediately tensed up.

He hesitated for a long while, still not daring to bring up the matter of the additional one hundred and eighty thousand auxiliary troops. What if Chen Mu decided to quit?

"Say it, what Secret Technique do you want?" Chen Mu struggled for a while, finally exhaling in resignation. He still needed the other’s help to complete the Divine-Sealing Pact; he had no choice but to put in the effort.

"Mountain-Carrying Scripture!" Lü Liang had given it some thought.

"You have good taste," Chen Mu said, his eyebrows raised. This Secret Technique excelled in cooperative strength and was very suitable for commanding Yin Soldiers.

"Teaching you the method is no problem, but first you need to give me a thousand Yin Soldiers."

"The Transmission Secret Method requires Yin Spirit Divine Power, and my own strength is limited; I need to draw upon the strength of the Yin Soldiers."

"Are you using the Mountain-Carrying Scripture to extract Divine Power and then perform the Secret Technique?" Lü Liang realized suddenly.

The Mountain-Carrying Scripture was indeed extraordinary!

"I would like you to stay at the City Lord Mansion for a few days," Lü Liang invited eagerly.

"No need, I like my small courtyard. It’s quiet and no one bothers me," Chen Mu declined, shaking his head.

He had no intention of going to the City Lord Mansion; such high-profile residences were too complicated and troublesome for his taste.

Lü Liang looked around; this small courtyard could not accommodate a thousand Yin Spirits. Gathering them in the vicinity would be quite noticeable.

Chen Mu chuckled and immediately opened up Thousand Lanterns City, swallowing Lü Liang into it.

"Get it now?"

"Master has remarkable powers!"

"Well, they’re just average, haha..."

...

In Feng’an City, at the Sanchanke building on the third floor, in a corner room.

Short and stout Wen Han stared at the Black-Skinned Scripture, lying listlessly on the table.

The middle-aged Zhang Er, with small eyes, also looked at the scripture, crossed his hands on the tabletop, hanging his head helplessly and bewildered, his shoulders slumped.

Soon, a breeze blew through the half-opened window into the room, and a menacing-looking short and lean middle-aged man with prominent cheekbones appeared.

"Speak, what’s the trouble with Thousand Blade Camp that you need to see me in person?" the short and lean Hu Mang asked coldly.

He was the Shadow Command Envoy from the Qingyang City Secret Spy Bureau stationed in Feng’an City, usually hiding in West Market as a butcher, never showing his face unless there was a significant matter.

"You tell him," Zhang Er nudged Wen Han with a punch in the arm.

"The Young City Lord mobilized a thousand Yin Soldiers, destination unknown," Wen Han shivered as he quickly spoke.

"That’s it?" Hu Mang’s brow furrowed.

"He also made contact with a mysterious person?" Zhang Er immediately added.

"Lu Da?" Hu Mang’s brow furrowed deeper: "If this trivial information made me show myself, you couldn’t blame me for being ruthless, could you?"

He had more than these two men under him and had obtained the same information from others earlier.

Zhang Er hesitated for a moment, then bit his lip and spoke: "That Lu Da is no ordinary person; he can quickly teach Yin Soldiers certain Secret Techniques, greatly enhancing the strength of Thousand Blade Camp."

Hu Mang’s expression instantly turned solemn.

Quickly learn a Secret Technique? Enhance the power of Thousand Blade Camp?

This person was troublesome!

He had previously felt that the atmosphere in the Feng’an City Lord Mansion was a bit strange. After investigation, information about Lu Da appeared before him.

He had only thought before that being personally invited into Feng’an City by Lü Liang, the person might not be ordinary.

Now it seemed, he was quite extraordinary.

"It seems he cannot be left alone," Hu Mang’s eyes narrowed.

"We can’t kill him, this person cannot... be killed," Wen Han suddenly stood up, his face pale with panic as he waved his hands and shouted.

```

But as he kept shouting, he locked eyes with Hu Mang’s grim gaze, and his voice involuntarily softened, eventually quieting down like a quail as he took his seat again.

"Can’t we make use of him?" Zhang Er suggested bravely.

Hu Mang’s eyes shifted, coldly staring at the two men, "You guys, got a problem..."

Zhang Er felt a tingling on his scalp, his thoughts racing, and he suddenly pointed towards the table.

"Manager, you’d better take a look at this scripture," Zhang Er said with a calm and solemn expression, but his heart couldn’t stop trembling, "Once you read this book, you’ll understand why this man can’t be killed."

"Really?" Hu Mang frowned, skepticism written all over his face.

"Really, really!"

"Hmm... East Pole Longevity Scripture, huh? That’s some big talk."

After a while...

"Who the hell do you two work for as spies?"

"Got a couple of bastards screwing over their own people, huh!"

"Speak up!"

"Did I say... can’t kill..."

"I’ll freaking kill you two first!"

...

In Thousand Lanterns City, ten long-closed Soul-Attracting Lamps ascended into the sky once more, lighting up the pitch-black firmament, heralding a new day in Thousand Lanterns City.

Five Yin Soldiers bearing divisional flags respectfully stood before Chen Mu’s wooden hut, greeting him with a fist and palm salute then waited in silence for orders, showing no sign of complaint on their faces.

Ever since they entered Thousand Lanterns City, these Yin Soldiers had become as compliant as quails. Chen Mu had continuously exploited their Yin Spirit Divine Power, but their expected stubbornness was nowhere to be seen, much to his disappointment.

He had wanted to see them defiantly splitting apart, but alas, that opportunity was wasted.

The five Yin Soldiers felt an unexplained chill in their hearts, their faces growing even more respectful.

Prior to arrival, the Young City Lord had repeatedly warned them that the man before them, Mr. Lu Da, had mysterious and bizarre divine skills. Learning about the Jar Heaven method, which they had only heard of in rumors, they knew even better not to stir up trouble.

Chen Mu boredly curled his lip, then began his usual routine... the practice of the Safe Heart Sutra.

As soon as these people had entered Thousand Lanterns City, he had passed on the Three Paths Curse to them, using it to aid his collection of weak water, speeding up the tracing back to the origins of the Divine Fetus.

Transmission Secret Method?

Of course, I’ll attend to that after I finish my daily cultivation.

Feeling the raging weak water surging towards him, Chen Mu grimaced in pain.

"I need fewer people, yeah!"

All one thousand before him were Yin Soldiers who had cultivated Ghost Patterns, and compared to the previous five to six thousand support troops, the accelerating effect of the Three Paths Curse had doubled!

Just the thought of the twenty thousand Yin Soldiers in Lü Liang’s hands made him feel like he had suffered a huge loss.

"No, I need to ask for more people tomorrow."

"If not twenty thousand, surely I can get two thousand."

Thinking about the Safe Heart Sutra accelerating again, a smile appeared on Chen Mu’s face.

"That’s the plan!"

...

Two months later, on the third floor of the night-shrouded building, in the same room.

Wen Han lay listlessly on the table as before.

Zhang Er, too, slumped forward with his arms crossed on the table and his head hanging lifelessly.

Hu Mang pursed his lips tightly, arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the chair, his ruthless face betraying a hint of helplessness and confusion.

"Speak, what do we do!" demanded Hu Mang, tapping his right index finger on the table.

"Qingyang City found out about Lu Da. The Secret Spy Bureau can’t openly target Feng’an City; they will only weaken it from the sidelines. The assassin sent for Lu Da may already have entered Feng’an by now."

"Aren’t you a Commander? Why can’t you intercept even a single piece of information?" mumbled Zhang Er under his breath.

"I’m not the only damn Commander. What can I do if others send messages out?" Hu Mang glared back.

"Warn Lu Da in advance?" ventured Wen Han cautiously.

"You want to try the methods the Secret Spy Bureau uses on traitors?" Hu Mang looked at this naive man, rolling his eyes in exasperation.

If it hadn’t been for this idiot, he wouldn’t be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He hadn’t expected that scripture to be so wicked, embedding a Spiritual Seed into him after reading it just once. Logically, he knew Lu Da was a stranger, but deep down, he couldn’t help wanting to ensure the man’s safety.

But at the same time, Lu Da was from Feng’an City, which was at odds with Qingyang City, the power behind him. If he openly saved Lu Da, would he even have a life left?

"Or maybe we should strike before our rival spies do?" Zhang Er suggested carefully.

"But if we kill the attacking spies, we still won’t survive," pondered Wen Han, scratching his head in confusion.

"No, what I mean is, we take action before the spies, against Lu Da ourselves," Zhang Er clarified, shaking his head.

"Huh?!"

Wen Han and Hu Mang exchanged a look, each grabbed one of Zhang Er’s arms, and slammed his face down onto the table.

"You actually want to kill Lu Da?"

"Come on, read that Longevity Scripture again!"

"My arm’s gonna break, dammit! I only said to strike first, never said to kill Lu Da. We could send him out of Feng’an City!" Zhang Er’s face turned red from the pain as he hurriedly shouted.

"Doesn’t one of your subordinates know the moving earth technique? Have him set up ahead of time and shift Lu Da far away from Feng’an City, right?"

Hu Mang suddenly felt inspired.

Throwing Lu Da far away, claiming he had been killed in advance, would protect him while also undermining the Thousand Blade Camp; Qingyang City’s Secret Spy Bureau wouldn’t find any flaws.

"Great idea!" exclaimed Wen Han joyfully.

"Great idea and still not letting go of me!" Zhang Er said, annoyed.

"Hold on, just to be safe, let him read the East Pole Longevity Scripture again," said Hu Mang cautiously, "What if he wasn’t implanted with a Spiritual Seed, and all before was an act?"

"Makes sense!" nodded Wen Han, "You heard him, hurry up and read, read it ten times!"

Zhang Er: "..."

You’re really a bastard!
