I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

It wasn’t long before Old Shi’s worries became a reality. Yin Liu started to cozy up to various bonfires with a grin, and soon he came to theirs.

"Fellows, as you all saw, Brother Hai Yuan has successfully awakened his Divine Skills."

"We’ll arrive at Antiquity City in a few days, and he’s sure to join the Inner City as a Ghost soldier, and might even become a Team Leader right from the start."

"Money makes the mare go, and if we have enough Jade Dew Pearls, Brother Hai’s position as a Team Leader is almost guaranteed."

"This is a great opportunity for us all."

"But I’ve heard from Lord Niu that Antiquity City is not a peaceful place."

"If we can help Brother Hai at this time, assist him in becoming a Team Leader, he will surely return the favor and be able to take care of us. Then we can live in peace."

"If by chance we catch Brother Hai’s eye, he might even lift us up to join him as Ghost soldiers in the city—that’s a boundless future."

"Actually, it won’t require much effort from everyone, just hand over half a gourd of Jade Dew to Brother Hai every day."

After chattering away with a cheerful tone, Yin Liu cupped his hands in farewell and scurried to the next bonfire to continue his lobbying.

The previously silent fellows couldn’t help but start discussing amongst themselves.

Shi Dechun also leaned towards Chen Mu, irritation evident on his face: "Sounds good, but with our skills, aside from the gourd of Jade Dew we hand over to Lord Niu, we can collect at most half a gourd more. That’s our food!"

"Indeed, we can survive without eating Jade Dew for a short while, but the hunger and cold make us utterly miserable!"

Hearing Shi Dechun’s chatter, Chen Mu suddenly had a realization.

Each Yin Spirit can only collect at most one and a half gourds of Jade Dew?

So, these Yin Spirits spend so much time by the river picking up Yin Spirits, not just to try their luck, but also because they can’t collect more Jade Dew?

Chen Mu silently dismissed the half-congealed Jade Dew in front of him.

He couldn’t stand out from the crowd.

His True Form of Heavenly Demon was indeed different from the Yin Spirits. Explore more stories with

"That Hai fellow hasn’t even shown his face. What kind of care and support? Whether he acknowledges it or not, isn’t it just him making the call?" Shi Dechun sneered. řΑƝòʙЁṣ

"Yin Liu was nothing but a gambling thug in his past life, and even here in the Netherworld, he’s still up to no good, doing these selfish deeds."

"Why should we hand over the Jade Dew we worked hard to collect to him?" Shi Dechun was indignant. "Brother Chen, are you okay with this?"

Chen Mu glanced at him.

What was this sly old fox up to?

Shi Dechun chuckled slyly, leaned in, and whispered, "How about you praise him a bit too?"

Chen Mu immediately rolled his eyes.

Praise my ass!

So, he wanted to push me to the front.

But then again…

He glanced at the traffic light still proudly raised in the distance, and then at Yin Liu with his smug smile: "Tch, he does look a little punchable."

"Right?!" Shi Dechun suddenly lit up with glee.

After spending several days together, he had long realized that this little bald guy was no ordinary fellow. He couldn’t stand up to the authority to keep his Jade Dew but was helpless to resist. But this little bald guy was different. With him taking the lead, wouldn’t that stabilize the situation?

"Just watch me tomorrow," Chen Mu said with a casual smile.

Shi Dechun couldn’t help but grin. "Old man here will follow Brother Chen’s lead."

...

The next day, evening.

The bonfires were lit as usual.

Yin Liu carried a large gourd, and after Niu Sanmiao finished collecting the toll, he went merrily from one bonfire to the next.

Though the people’s faces looked sour, they astonishingly handed over their Jade Dew in unison.

Soon enough, he arrived at Chen Mu’s bonfire, and his gaze immediately turned to Chen Mu, his face betraying his malintent as he said, "Brother Chen, what do you plan to do?"

"A Ghost soldier’s status in Antiquity City is far from low. A single word from us could ensure our safety, but a word could also…"

His face was all smiles, but his words carried an undertone of threat.

Chen Mu suddenly understood why the people around the bonfire had been looking so aggrieved, yet still obediently handed over their Jade Dew. It was no longer about hoping for the other party’s care but rather a wish that the other party wouldn’t cause them any trouble.

The faces of those gathered darkened at once.

But Shi Dechun’s eyes shone with a subtle mirth.

Threats, good. The young, hot-blooded little bald one would become more fiercely defiant the more he was threatened, wouldn’t he?

He looked at Chen Mu with anticipation.

Then Chen Mu threw the yellow gourd hanging from his waist to Yin Liu with an expressionless face, in a brisk and efficient manner.

Shi Dechun: "..."

Are you that timid?

Not even putting up a fight, you’re a young man!

"Weren’t you supposed to praise him?" Shi Dechun moved closer, whispering discontentedly.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Chen Mu said with a sudden realization, "Brother Yin Liu, Elder Shi wanted me to compliment you for your hard work!"

Shi Dechun’s face turned green.

Everyone now loathes Yin Liu so much they’re itching with rage, yet you say I should praise him? Aren’t you just making me a target of resentment?

This little bastard isn’t doing something a person should do!

Sure enough, their gazes towards him changed immediately.

Yin Liu looked at Shi Dechun with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

With a turn of his eye, he guessed that the cunning old man wanted to stoke the fires and cause trouble, getting the little bald guy to hassle him. Too bad the little bald guy is a coward, scared of Brother Hai behind him.

Yin Liu then let out a weird chuckle, "Elder Shi, about your Jade Dew..."

Shi Dechun’s face was a mask of misery as he had no choice but to remove the gourd from his waist and hand it over.

Yin Liu had no qualms about taking it, and straightaway poured the Jade Dew from the gourd into his own wide-mouthed large gourd.

That gourd already had a blank Jade Dew Pearl inside it, and as the Jade Dew was poured in, it was immediately absorbed. Everyone by the bonfire handed over half a gourd of Jade Dew, yet his wide-mouthed gourd still did not overflow.

Once Yin Liu left, Shi Dechun sighed as he observed the unusual looks of the people around him.

"How could you do this?"

Chen Mu looked at him in astonishment, "Wasn’t it you who told me to praise him?"

Shi Dechun’s face turned even greener.

I the hell told you to praise him like this? I wanted you to use your Divine Skill of Complimenting.

Chen Mu was chuckling as he watched Old Man Shi’s changing expressions.

Old slick-head, you wanted me to stand up for you? You’ve got the wrong guy!

Shi Dechun was almost angered to laughter; he now realized he had been played by the little bald kid.

After a long while, he could only sigh helplessly, "Suffering from hunger and cold, handing over half a gourd of Jade Dew every day, are you really content with this?"

Chen Mu gave a hehe with a smile, "It’s okay, let him keep it for me for a few days."

Shi Dechun was taken aback, then suddenly came to his senses, "Hey! I was wondering how you could be so willing to hand over the Jade Dew. Turns out..."

Small-minded?

Who are you talking about!

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and turned his head.

Shi Dechun’s body tensed.

Darn, I blurted out what I was thinking in the heat of the moment!

...

After the initial resistance, everyone quickly accepted the oppression by the one-eyed man, Hai Yuan, even Niu Sanmiao seemed to take it for granted. The many ordinary Yin Spirits naturally had neither the power nor the courage to resist.

Chen Mu was still blending into the crowd, slacking off while continuously grinding the Dew Harvesting Spell experience.

But he no longer collected extra Jade Dew, because through inquiries, he found out that ordinary spirits like Shi Dechun indeed had a limit to how much Jade Dew they could collect.

That day, by the River of Oblivion.

Chen Mu dispersed the small particles of Jade Dew that had just condensed around him when a familiar feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

He discovered that the power used by the Dew Harvesting Spell was fundamentally similar to Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles.

"So, the Dew Harvesting Spell uses the special power of Ghosts, akin to the mana of a Qi cultivator?"

"If I use the method of the Dew Harvesting Spell, I can collect Jade Dew. If I use the way of Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, then it’s the sensory integration of Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles?"

"No wonder my limit for the Dew Harvesting Spell is higher than Shi Dechun and the others." Chen Mu had a sudden realization.

His Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles had been awakened and in use for over ten years; the unique power within him belonging to Ghosts was far stronger than that of these newly formed Yin Spirits like Shi Dechun.

"A power system different from the Qi cultivators and Heavenly Demon Path?"

"Interesting, very interesting!"

He suddenly took an interest in Antiquity City.

"If they are recruiting Yin Soldiers there, does that mean there are methods to train and arm Yin Soldiers?"

"I need to find a way to look into this."
