I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Scripture Transmission Institute.

"Going to Eagle Grief Cliff?"

"You’ve only been teaching scripture for less than three months, what, you’re thinking of quitting already?"

"The title of Scripture Doctorate, do you still want it or not?!" Hu Kui glared at Chen Mu with an unfriendly expression.

"Can I take those three apprentices with me to Eagle Grief Cliff?" Chen Mu spread his hands helplessly.

"Those three Alchemist Apprentices dare to go to Eagle Grief Cliff?"

"You’re not planning to make those three voluntarily back out so that you can conveniently take on new apprentices, are you?"

"Thinking you can exploit quick apprentice turnovers to swindle Daoist cultivation?" Hu Kui looked at Chen Mu askance.

This... this scheme isn’t bad at all!

Noticing Hu Kui’s increasingly unfriendly countenance, he quickly put away his unreliable daydream.

"Cough cough... Prefect Hu has misunderstood me."

"The climate around Eagle Grief Cliff is unpredictable, and miasma runs rampant."

"My going there is to study the Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill. Look, I’ve even bought the secret technique." Chen Mu took out a scroll of jade slip and handed it to Hu Kui.

"You could contemplate the All-Disease Pill just fine if you stayed on Jade Spring Mountain." Hu Kui still didn’t believe him.

Chen Mu sighed, speaking the depressing truth: "I’ve offended the Sun Family, I want to go into hiding for a while."

Hmm... Killing Sun Chengye certainly counts as offending the Sun Family, I’m not lying.

The Sun Family? A spark of curiosity flashed in Hu Kui’s mind. He then looked at Chen Mu with a strange expression, as if he’d just thought of something.

"Are you the one who dared to call Sun Jian a big-headed fool?"

Chen Mu’s face twitched.

I hadn’t seen it coming, that disciple directly initiated by the Sect Master turned out to be such a blabbermouth!

That day, only four people were present. Chen Mu wouldn’t speak of it, nor would the two from the Sun Family, leaving only that Elder Brother Ying who would spread the word.

And I was talking about Sun Chengye when I said big-headed fool, how did it become Sun Jian?

Not only does Elder Brother Ying have a big mouth, but he also spreads rumors?!

"Tsk tsk... To call Old Ghost Sun a big-headed fool to his face, you truly are brave!" Hu Kui expressed his amazement.

"Alright then." Hu Kui waved his hand: "Go to Eagle Grief Cliff if you want."

"But let me make this clear to you first."

"Even if those three apprentices don’t go to Eagle Grief Cliff, if you want to recruit the next batch of students, you’ll still have to wait another year."

"Transmitting scripture and teaching properly is one thing. Thinking about swindling Daoist cultivation? No chance in hell!" Hu Kui warned with a glaring eye.

Chen Mu was immediately overjoyed, no longer caring about any rumors: "Thanks to Prefect Hu for making this happen."

Sun Jian was on the Golden Summit, on top of Jade Spring Mountain.

Staying on the mountain always made Chen Mu uneasy.

Now that the storm was gradually subsiding, it was a good time to leave and lay low.

Stepping out of Hu Kui’s office, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and then shook his head with a bitter smile.

Initially, he had gone through all sorts of maneuvers to stay on Jade Spring Mountain, but now he was actually choosing to leave; such are the unpredictable ways of the world.

Why is it so hard just to cultivate in peace and honesty?

Sun Wuhuan was insatiably greedy; Sun Chengye... well, though I can’t remember the reason, he certainly wasn’t a good person.

Why doesn’t Old Ghost Sun understand?

I didn’t just kill two evildoers, I was helping the Sun Family get rid of some bad apples!

You don’t even say thank you but overtly and covertly send people to investigate me?

Tsk... It’s really hard to be a good person!

...

In the days that followed, Chen Mu began preparing for his trip to Eagle Grief Cliff.

A set of pots, pans, ladles, and other living utensils was prepared.

Two tons of Exotic Beast Meat was prepared.

He had planned to buy more Rejuvenation Pills, but time was tight and the Cloud Bat Flying Boat hadn’t arrived; he only managed to get one more bottle.

"Together with the bottle from Sun Chengye, it’s only enough for three months." Chen Mu frowned.

He had asked the person in charge of the warehouse, Wu Shiyuan.

Rejuvenation Pills were only sold on Jade Spring Mountain and not on Eagle Grief Cliff, and there was a purchase limit; each person could only get up to ten pills per month.

This item was in hot demand in the Upper Court and supplies couldn’t meet the demand.

Other institutes could buy it because the Upper Court deliberately allocated resources to attract personnel to migrate and help develop Jade Spring Mountain.

"I’ll just have to make a trip back here when the time comes." Chen Mu said helplessly.

In three months’ time, things should have mostly settled down.

If I make the journey quickly, grab the Elixir and leave, there shouldn’t be any problems.

...

Outside the southwest gate of Jade Spring District.

A row of seven-star centipedes lay on the ground, their numerous dense legs constantly twitching, emitting a chilling ’click click’ noise.

"I’ve said it before, you can get a full refund of your Daoist Jade, there’s no need to follow me to Eagle Grief Cliff and take risks." Chen Mu said to the three apprentices behind him.

"Even if you want to learn, you could wait for the next term next year."

The lead apprentice of the three bowed and said, "Elder Brother, you misunderstand, we mainly want to go to Eagle Grief Cliff to take our chances."

"Be honest." Chen Mu didn’t believe it.

As Alchemist Apprentices who didn’t rely on fighting to earn Daoist cultivation, why would they need to take risks at Eagle Grief Cliff?

Wang Heyuan hesitated for a moment then honestly said, "The Alchemy teachings you gave are precious and detailed, making many peers envious."

"If we miss this opportunity, we’re afraid we won’t be able to secure a spot for your classes again."

Chen Mu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows: "Am I that famous?"

"With the successful examples of Elder Brothers Bai, Feng, and Xue, we three have also made rapid progress under your tutelage."

"With such obvious proof, your reputation for excellent Alchemy instruction is quite substantial in the Pill Treasure Pavilion." Wang Heyuan said with great respect.

"Is that so?" Chen Mu’s lips curled slightly, unable to suppress a grin.

Without realizing it, I’ve actually gained a bit of a reputation?

Tsk tsk... Keep a low profile, a low profile. One must not boast or become arrogant.

"Besides, Eagle Grief Cliff is relatively safe at present, going there can hardly be considered taking risks." Wang Heyuan chuckled.

He then looked around before whispering, "That’s thanks to the unnamed powerful individual."

"Elder Sun, in a fit of rage, gave the areas around Eagle Grief Cliff a thorough sweep."

"Now, Eagle Grief Cliff is even safer than Mist Smoke Mountain when it was first settled."

"I wonder how that mysterious guest trained, his strength is really…" Wang Heyuan shook his head with admiration.

"Is that strong man really so formidable?" Chen Mu’s eyebrows arched.

"Being able to take a life in front of the Golden Summit and still escape unharmed, how could he not be formidable!" Wang Heyuan’s eyes shone brightly.

All sorts of praises like mysterious, powerful, calm, and having a strong heart were incessantly spouted in adulation.

Not that much, not that exaggerated.

Chen Mu felt quite embarrassed in his heart.

"It’s said that person is also very young. Such talent, such insight, tsk tsk…" Wang Heyuan said with obvious envy on his face.

Hearing this, Chen Mu’s expression turned serious as he earnestly retorted, "On the contrary, I feel his natural talent and insight are not worth mentioning."

Then he spoke with certainty, "To have such strength, it must be because, and only because he put in much more hard work and effort than ordinary people."

Wang Heyuan: "…"

I was just chatting with you about some rumors, why did you start analyzing it seriously?

"Senior brother is right!" Wang Heyuan wholeheartedly agreed, nodding so vigorously it was as if every hair on his body was engraved with the word ’agree.’

Chen Mu immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Wang Heyuan proved himself worthy of being an old fox who had been cultivating immortality for decades.

He was sharp-witted, well-informed, and, importantly, always had pleasant things to say.

Hmm, next time I give a lecture, I’ll draw him a detailed painting of the Golden Bead Talisman.

According to Bai Xiuwen, that thing has a miraculous effect when assisting with the refinement of Fasting Pills.

…

Eagle Grief Cliff towered high into the clouds.

It could be vaguely seen from a high position up on Jade Spring Mountain.

But in reality, including the nearby Mist Smoke Mountain, the distance was quite far.

The reason it was possible to see those five peaks from Jade Spring Mountain,

On one hand, was because these mountains themselves were very tall; on the other, it was due to the cultivators’ body enhancements resulting in extraordinary vision.

Hastening toward Eagle Grief Cliff, even with a cultivator’s powerful physique and pace, it took five days, covering at least more than four hundred li.

Upon reaching the mountain, reporting in, and registering, it took less than half a day for Chen Mu to complete the onboarding procedures from the headquarters at Jade Spring Mountain to the branch at Eagle Grief Cliff.

Attached to the Administrative Affairs Institute, his main job: alchemy.

…

Several days later.

Eagle Grief Cliff towered into the clouds; to the north were sheer cliff faces that stretched endlessly, said to be so steep that not even eagles could cross, hence the name Eagle Grief Cliff.

To the south, it was still precipitous but not as sheer as the north side, with a relatively gentle slope.

Therefore, it was possible to carve out residences and even to guide the accumulation of Spiritual Vitality to create a small Medicinal Field.

Halfway up the mountain, on a plateau carved out, wooden buildings stood built along the mountainside.

Chen Mu’s dwelling was right at the edge of the plateau to the east, and just outside the door on the eastern cliffside was a small waterfall trickling down less than two meters wide.

Inside the study, by the window.

Chen Mu sat at a long table, retracting his gaze from the small waterfall outside the window.

"Although it hasn’t completely settled, I’ve already safely joined Eagle Grief Cliff, and the Sun Family hasn’t shown any reaction yet."

"If there’s no significant change, for the time being, they should not be able to find me," he thought.

Only at this moment did Chen Mu finally feel relieved.

With a flip of his right hand, the Yang Judge Bone Shield appeared.

"What a great item!" Chen Mu looked at the hollow Bone Sphere, which had regained some of its spiritual liveliness, his face full of satisfaction: "If it really were to be scrapped, I would be heartbroken."

"I wonder where this thing came from," Chen Mu mused curiously as he played with it.

Being able to withstand the Kui Water Yin Thunder from Sun Jian, a High Cultivator of the Condensing Aperture, it truly was extraordinary.

Moreover, this thing could actually grow and become stronger, with immense potential!

Shing!

A flash of black light appeared before his eyes, and the Nether Moon Blade materialized.

Then, like a living creature, it dodged back and forth in front of Chen Mu’s eyes, at times vanishing and at other times reappearing, as if it could traverse through space.

"Never mind, I’ll first use the Spirit Nourishing Curse to bring its power up—that’s my biggest lifeline for survival," he thought.

"I need to continue refining the Netherworld Divine Orifice."

Having been struck by Sun Jian with thunder, Chen Mu was still apprehensive.

The Yang Judge Bone Shield could only withstand, and it could only withstand once.

The only thing that could stand up to Condensing Aperture was another Condensing Aperture.

Only by truly achieving Condensing Aperture would he have the assets to stand his ground in front of Sun Jian.

He glanced at the experience on the grey wall.

Netherworld Grand Summary: 920/10000/Second Rank;

"There’s still a long way to go."

Although it still required long-term practice, Chen Mu wasn’t particularly anxious or flustered.

With the grey wall providing experience, as if guided by a master personally, encountering barriers in cultivation was not common. After a concerted effort for four or five years, he would be able to master it.

"It’s just the Rejuvenation Pill…" Chen Mu frowned.

This was what worried him the most.

Without the Rejuvenation Pill replenishing the body’s consumption, the Condensing Aperture process was sure to be delayed.

He had initially thought about running back to Jade Spring Mountain to purchase them. But traveling there and back with the transport team would take almost ten days, which was too time-consuming.

"If I take the flying kite back, the time might be shortened, but safety…" Chen Mu hesitated.

East Ridge was not safe; neither the skies nor the ground were safe!

Unknown poisonous insects and monsters could be lurking anywhere.

And the local strongholds that were becoming more and more hostile towards Jilong Road.

Flying back alone to Jade Spring Mountain was indeed risky.

"I’ll have to refine the Rejuvenation Pills myself!" Chen Mu thought seriously.

Being clueless and reliant on purchases made him forever dependent on others.

"And there’s also the risk of exposure."

The Netherworld Grand Summary was consuming a lot; if someone attentive noticed his huge need for Rejuvenation Pills, it could raise suspicions.

Especially those from the Sun Family who were quite familiar with the Netherworld Grand Summary!

"It seems that I can only intersperse some common replenishing substances to hold me over for a while."

Out of the thirteen components of the Rejuvenation Pill, he had already mastered the Absorption Talisman for four components.

"Just give me another year…" Chen Mu calculated privately.
