I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

By the River of Oblivion

Whoosh!

A pebble quietly fell into the river, but strangely, not a single splash arose. The surface of the water was as calm as a mirror, without even a slight ripple appearing.

Shi Dechun rhythmically tossed a stone in his hand, looking boredly at the river’s surface.

It wasn’t until the faint whisper of a curse ceased that he turned his head, puzzled, to look at Chen Mu, "Aren’t you tired of chanting the Dew Harvesting Spell without stopping every day?"

Dew Harvesting Spell: 8526/10000;

Chen Mu packed away the grey wall, revealing a smiling face.

Tired?

Watching the experience level up, how could I be tired?

"Besides, it doesn’t matter how familiar you get with this thing. The limit of Jade Dew you can collect depends on personal talent, not on who can speak smoother. Why do you keep chanting it every day?" Shi Dechun shifted his position and threw another pebble into the river with a flick of his hand.

Ha!

In my case, being able to speak smoothly is very useful.

Over the past few days, as the experience with the Dew Harvesting Spell increased, the fundamental force driving the spell began to vaguely emerge.

This not only allowed him to collect more Jade Dew, but also, since transforming into the True Form of Heavenly Demon, he had been unable to activate the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, which seemed to slowly be reviving as well.

Chen Mu was in high spirits and cheerfully teased, "I quite like chanting catchy rhymes."

I don’t believe you for a second!

Shi Dechun rolled his eyes, leaned to the side, and with a whoosh tossed the last pebble toward the surface of the River of Oblivion. Alas, it didn’t make a splash either.

"Speaking of which, everyone’s travel expenses are almost gathered, right?" Chen Mu asked with a frown.

But in the past few days, he subtly realized that Niu Sanmiao didn’t seem to have any plans to set out soon.

"Why, do you want to hurry to Antiquity City?" Shi Dechun nodded toward Niu Sanmiao in the distance, "Afraid that bull head isn’t keen, huh?"

"Does Niu Sanmiao want us to help him collect Jade Dew?" Chen Mu’s frown deepened even more.

Was he treating these Yin Spirits as free labor?

But twenty Jade Dew Pearls had been agreed upon as the price of passage; collecting beyond this limit forcefully would not only risk causing an immediate uproar but also feared retaliations later on, no?

Seeming to understand what Chen Mu was thinking, Shi Dechun shrugged, "We’re all counting on him to guide us; he can always find other reasons."

"Don’t think too much. After all, we’ve already died once. What’s there to hurry about? Just wait and see."

Chen Mu glanced at the grey wall’s experience and silently nodded.

It was a good opportunity to push the Dew Harvesting Spell to its limit in the meantime, and then he could restore some power of Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, which would make things safer.

"Who could have imagined that inside the Nether Yin Underworld, there’d be no Earth Spirit Vital Energy." Chen Mu helplessly grinned.

Even in Da Liang, on the outskirts of the Border Wilderness Island, there existed a trace of Vital Energy. But in the Netherworld, at least near the River of Oblivion, there was none at all.

"If I switch bodies and run out of mana, then I won’t be able to recover as easily." Chen Mu sighed.

Though there were White Jade Coins inside the Five Ghosts Bag, after all, those were limited in number.

He looked at his body in the pitch-black space. Over twenty days had passed, and his body had only healed a small part of the damage. On the injuries corroded by the water from the River of Oblivion, it seemed there was residual power preventing the muscles from regenerating. Fortunately, his physique was strong; otherwise, the healing would be even slower.

"I can only use the Magical Secret Technique as a last resort in a crisis." Chen Mu couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, "It’s better to master the Yin Spirit Divine Power."

If the True Form of Cloud Mirage Sky Demon could practice the Dew Harvesting Spell and use Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, then the power that belonged to the Yin Spirits should be usable too.

"The Bewitching Divine Power is too weak for now, and such Divine Skills tend to draw envy, so it’s not good to use them too frequently."

"Hmm, I should first restore the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles."

"At least then I’ll have some power in hand to use."

Two evenings later, by the campfire in the wilderness campsite.

Niu Sanmiao walked over leisurely, hands clasped behind his back, collecting the Jade Dew from everyone’s hands, but he didn’t rush off.

Instead, he held a transparent round bead gleefully, "This bead that can absorb and store Jade Dew is called a Moon Beet Pearl."

"Here with me, one pearl only costs a gourd full of Jade Dew."

"Hour hasn’t arrived yet, we’ll have to stay by the river for a few more days. Those who want to gather some Jade Dew early can come buy Moon Beet Pearls from me."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people visibly soured, and they began to discuss among themselves.

These Moon Beet Pearls are definitely not worth a gourd of Jade Dew. Niu Sanmiao is just finding another way to squeeze everyone’s Jade Dew.

Shi Dechun leaned close to Chen Mu, winking and whispering, "See, he always has other charges."

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Master Niu, do you know which direction Antiquity City is in?" someone suddenly asked.

Chen Mu looked over.

Is he planning to set off on his own?

He then looked at Niu Sanmiao, who, to his surprise, wasn’t angry and instead lifted his head to point behind.

"I won’t lie to you. Just follow the direction I’m pointing, and you should reach Antiquity City in about seven days."

"If you’re in a hurry, you can leave straight away," Niu Sanmiao said with a smile, "But there’s one thing you need to know, I won’t refund the road fee I’ve collected."

After saying this, he ignored the reactions of the crowd and turned around, continuing to collect Jade Dew elsewhere.

So magnanimous?

Chen Mu shook his head slightly, "I’m afraid the journey isn’t very safe."

Shi Dechun nodded with an air of having seen it all before, "Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident."

"Who made him the city’s Netherworld soldier?"

"That’s precisely the livelihood he depends on."

Chen Mu nodded.

He wasn’t too concerned about a little Jade Dew Pearl. With his current proficiency, it would take him less than a quarter of an hour to condense a gourd. What he cared about was the danger on the road that gave Niu Sanmiao such assurance that no one would dare to go on alone.

"I need to max out my Dew Harvesting Spell quickly!"

…

Faintly sensing a crisis, he became even more engrossed in practicing the Dew Harvesting Spell.

And as his proficiency with the spell grew, he could clearly feel a force stirring within him.

Three days later, in the evening.

He hadn’t long returned to camp from the banks of the River of Oblivion.

Chen Mu had just sat down cross-legged by the newly kindled campfire and recited the Dew Harvesting Spell once more.

Suddenly, his entire body shuddered, and a burst of power surged out from deep within him.

Chen Mu immediately looked at the experience on the grey wall.

Dew Harvesting Spell: Limit;

Indeed...

With a thought, he easily controlled this power, wrapping himself firmly within it. A warm sensation quickly arose, and the cold wind that made the Yin Spirits shiver at night was instantly blocked from him.

The next moment, an Exotic Force flew out, causing a withered grass nearby to float slightly above the ground.

Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles!

The corners of Chen Mu’s mouth curled up immediately.

"Was Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles previously unable to activate due to the lack of mana from the True Form of Heavenly Demon? Now that I’ve unearthed Yin Spirit Power, it has immediately revived."

"So, it wasn’t only for condensing Jade Dew, but also for awakening this power unique to the Yin Spirits that the Dew Harvesting Spell was taught to them?"

He turned his head to look at the one-eyed man Hai Yuan, who was currently sitting by the fire chanting spells.

"No wonder this guy, who’s never been short on Jade Dew, still practices the Dew Harvesting Spell."

"Did Niu Sanmiao let slip some information?"

Looking at a few others who were busy practicing the Dew Harvesting Spell, Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"Tsk, special treatment for the uniquely gifted, huh."
