I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

The Scripture Transmission Institute’s first floor, in a certain partition, four or five middle-aged men dressed differently came out one after another.

Once the crowd had moved away, Chen Mu stepped into the partition.

"Senior Brother, I have a question, may I ask for your guidance…" Chen Mu bowed and addressed a middle-aged man dressed in black inside the partition.

The man in black glanced at Chen Mu, "An hour costs twenty White Jade Coins, if you have a question, pay first."

So direct, huh?

He was hoping for a little small talk first.

Chen Mu’s mouth twitched slightly as he reluctantly handed over twenty White Jade Coins.

The man in black waved his hand expertly, and the White Jade Coins on the long table disappeared from sight.

Then he sat upright, looking indifferent, and said, "I shall hold nothing back in what I know, but I make no guarantees of correctness, ask away."

"May I ask if Senior Brother knows about Primordial Energy?"

The man in black suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Haven’t you condensed your aperture yet? Why are you asking about this?"

Before Chen Mu could give the excuse he had prepared in advance, the middle-aged man simply waved his hand, "Never mind, I don’t want to know."

Then he started speaking, regardless of Chen Mu’s reaction.

"Primordial Energy, also known as Yin Yang Energy or Heavenly River Water, is the key Vital Energy for cleansing the Divine Orifice and cultivating the River Chariot Dao Embryo."

"This Vital Energy originates from the celestial stars and gathers near Earth Vein Spiritual Springs, extremely scarce and requiring years to accumulate."

"The elders stationed in the various Lower Courtyards, aside from ensuring the courtyards’ safety, are mostly there to accumulate Primordial Energy."

Chen Mu’s mind stirred.

He remembered back on Peng Yue Mountain, Song Wujie would sit above the Moon Reflecting Cold Lake each day in meditation and seclusion.

That mountain peak’s Cold Lake was a node of an Earth Vein Spiritual Spring.

At that time, Song Wujie was probably cultivating by using Primordial Energy.

"Is this Vital Energy useful to demons as well?"

The man in black nodded, "It is said that demons worship celestial stars to draw in and absorb Primordial Energy, stimulating their Heavenly Demon Bloodline."

No wonder.

Chen Mu suddenly understood.

Before Yuanbao was tamed, he frequently attacked Song Wujie on Peng Yue Mountain, probably also for the Primordial Energy in the Moon Reflecting Cold Lake.

As a result, after being defeated by Song Wujie, Yuanbao turned into a domesticated giant toad and ceased his rebellion.

But the Vital Energy on Sunrise Mountain, where he lived, seemed too sparse to be a place where Primordial Energy could exist.

"How can I discover this Primordial Energy?" Chen Mu asked hurriedly, "What secret technique can store and accumulate it?"

"You won’t be able to perceive it right now," the middle-aged man in black replied without concealment, "Once your Divine Orifice is cultivated, you’ll naturally sense and discover it." ɽάɴóʙË𐌔

"As for the secret techniques to collect Primordial Energy, they are secret transmissions of Dao Sects, so…" the man in black shrugged his shoulders.

Chen Mu immediately realized.

It seemed that his idea to gather the nearby Primordial Energy would not be realized any time soon.

...

To the east of Sunrise Mountain.

In front of the small building’s porch.

Chen Mu sat in the rocking chair, swaying as he gazed absentmindedly at the distant Yellow Bud Rice Fields.

"Primordial Energy comes from the celestial stars, often appearing near Earth Spirit Vital Energy surging from Earth Vein Spiritual Springs."

"This place is just a small mountain in front of Jilong Mountain; it couldn’t possibly have a spiritual spring."

"So... is it because of the Exquisite Jade Plate?" Chen Mu’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

Experience more on

The Exquisite Jade Plate had come from the Lower Courtyard beneath the Tongtian River.

When he worked as a scriptor in the Scripture Pavilion on Mist Smoke Mountain, he stumbled upon sparse records in some unofficial histories. It was said to be a secret Magic Artifact from the ancient Linglong Daoist Sect. There was nothing more detailed; history had buried the rest too deeply.

As for the Linglong Sect, he only knew it was an ancient Evil Path sect that suddenly met its end, leaving behind scattered secret teachings throughout the Human World.

"The Jade Plate can gather Earth Spirit Vital Energy, similar in function to an Earth Vein Spiritual Spring; it’s very likely it can also gather Primordial Energy," Chen Mu mused with narrowed eyes.

"Luckily, it was only discovered by Yuanbao, and thankfully Mo Wuzhou has not fully condensed his aperture."

"It seems I need to dig a little deeper into the secret chamber."

"This Linglong Sect really was formidable," he mused, "An artifact left behind, a small Jade Plate, yet it’s like a mobile Daoist sanctum!"

"What incredible secrets and profound mysteries must the secret techniques of a Dao Sect hold?"

"Once my cultivation is higher, I must gather and explore them."

After indulging in these thoughts for a while, Chen Mu shook his head and dismissed the additional musings.

"Thinking too far ahead."

"Rather than yearning for the future, it’s better to gain experience step by step."

...

Half a month quickly passed.

In the secret chamber, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

"Success!"

Inside the expanded Jade Seed, a hollow silver sphere spun around. On its outermost layer, one more circle of Divine Orifice Talisman had been added.

"Just three more layers, and the Divine Orifice condensation will be complete."

"At most, it would take another year and a half," Chen Mu was elated.

And following the advancement of the Netherworld Grand Summary, a brand-new Secret Orifice had also appeared within his heart.

As he carefully attuned to the rhythm of the Secret Orifice, a sense of enlightenment emerged in his mind.

"Is this the Fire Escape Technique this time?"

He immediately took out the Fire Cloud Gourd and, urging his mana, a pale blue flame appeared in front of him.

Looking at the blazing fire, an unexpected sense of kinship arose in his heart.

Chen Mu instinctively stretched out his right hand and reached into it.

The flame that should have been scorching hot felt to him no more than the warmth of a hot spring.

"As expected, I can enter the flames!" Chen Mu chuckled as he put away the Fire Cloud Gourd. "Walking on fire and delving into earth, now I can truly bathe in lava."

"I wonder what kind of heavenly demon Yunshen is, to inherently possess the divine skills of the Five Elements Escape Technique."

He had previously searched in the Scripture Transmission Institute. However, with the world being so vast and the number of demons so great, his extensive search still yielded no results.

"Zhongshan Path cultivates the Heavenly Demon Path, they might have records."

"It’s just a pity... they were wiped out."

Chen Mu shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and with a thought, a gray wall appeared before his eyes.

Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique: 235/10000/Fourth Rank;

Kui Water Yin Thunder: 7103/10000/Second Rank;

"All thanks to these two secret techniques."

According to the usual rules, achieving Perfection in the Netherworld Grand Summary at the sixth layer, at most, would only open the sixth Divine Orifice. It was because of the stimulating combination of these two secret techniques that he had managed to open the seventh Divine Orifice in one fell swoop.

Also, due to their frequent use, he had accumulated a substantial amount of experience for both secret techniques. Kui Water Yin Thunder was still at Second Rank, but Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique had already reached a whole new stage.

The abilities of the secret techniques underwent transformation, the absorption power increased, and the healing speed quickened. Moreover, under the refinement of the secret techniques, his hands had become fair and moist. Upon closer inspection, they even seemed to emanate a faint jade-like luster.

Chen Mu curiously lifted his hands in front of his eyes, flipping them back and forth, the more he looked, the more he liked them.

"If I were caressed by such beautiful hands, the feeling must be incredibly soft."

Thinking this, he subconsciously brought his head closer to his hands.

But in the next instant, he abruptly came to his senses and couldn’t help but shudder.

"Have I gone mad? To actually bring my head closer to the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique?"

He immediately took his hands from above his head, looking at his white hands with a shiver running down his spine.

"Bewitching one’s mind, and then making one willingly approach to be drained?"

"Damn it!"

"That’s really damn insidious!"

Thinking back on the origin of the secret techniques, Chen Mu couldn’t help but grimace, "You guys must really be the infamous six siblings of the Evil Path, huh!"

...

The night was hazy.

In front of Jilong Mountain, to the west, near a stream and a mountain.

The weary General Jin and his two companions were quietly seated in a remote courtyard.

"I really didn’t expect that we would find a completely new Strange Demon so quickly," Qian Mu said, his face lit up with joy.

"What’s more delightful is that this Strange Demon has been in existence for a long enough time," the burly man in black, Lian Cheng, also smiled. "The demon has sunk deeply into the Netherworld, far beyond the reach of Jilong Road’s secret techniques."

General Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been prepared for punishment, but did not expect the mission to be unexpectedly smooth.

"We need to set up the Linglong Royal Element Prohibition as soon as possible."

"The Strange Demon has sunk too deep, although it’s sufficiently hidden, there’s always the possibility that it will enter the Netherworld completely."

"If we can’t secure it in time, there’s no guarantee we won’t end up with nothing," General Jin said gravely.

Qian Mu smiled reassuringly, "General, please rest assured."

"The Twelve Nights Wander Spirits have already been secretly capturing people."

"By now, the buried human pillars, even if not enough, are not far from it."

General Jin’s tension eased slightly, "Have you informed them?"

"I’ve left a mark in the Market District at the foot of the mountain," Qian Mu said with a smile. "They will discreetly come here later to report."

General Jin nodded slightly and said no more.

As the dawn moon rose, and the more complete it became.

Qian Mu couldn’t help but murmur in admiration, "The Twelve Nights Wander Spirits are indeed reliable."

"I only indicated the date and place, yet they chose to act when the night grew quiet, prioritizing caution and secrecy, living up to the trust of the General."

Upon hearing this, General Jin’s lips curled slightly in a satisfied smile.

But as they waited, even when the moon was high in the sky, the surroundings of the manor remained deathly quiet.

General Jin couldn’t help but frown.

"Not feeling safe even at midnight, and preferring to wait until dawn just before most are deep in sleep?" the man in black, Lian Cheng expressed some dissatisfaction. "Isn’t that being overly cautious?"

Qian Mu chuckled and shook his head, "Better safe than sorry."

"We can’t afford to lose another Strange Demon."

The expression on General Jin’s face softened.

Yet as time went on, still no one approached the sequestered courtyard.

As the east turned a pale red and the sun began to rise, the look on General Jin’s face turned exceedingly grim.

This was not caution, this was a disaster unfolding! After waiting the whole night, not a person came; it was possible the Twelve Nights Wander Spirits had been completely wiped out!

"The Wander Spirits, on my command, would only act deep in the night," he said.

"And each of them can transform into a shadow, masters of stealth in darkness."

"Even if some bastard wandered the mountains instead of sleeping at midnight, it would be impossible to detect them!"

Unable to contain his anger any longer, General Jin’s eyes bulged with fury.

"First the Strange Demon is slain, now the Wander Spirits are ambushed."

"Is there some kind of ghost in Jilong Mountain, for such eerie things to happen?!"
