I am grinding experience in another world

Deep within Cloud Mist Mountain, inside a thatched house on the mountainside.

Chen Mu listened to the conversation around him and finally learned the origin of the strange demon.

“I said, under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be so many strange demons.”

Move to another place to hide?

Chen Mu shook his head.

With ghosts voluntarily coming to him, why should he hide?

Ghosts can enhance the Candle Dragon transformation, fortify the Ghost Gate, and provide more Yin Spirit Divine Power to assist the transformation of the Yin Spirit Divine Fetus; indeed, the more the better.

Nowhere else offers such a good opportunity.

“The key is quickly mastering the ghosts, preventing them from causing chaos inside the Five Ghosts Bag.”

Recalling the stolen half portion of demon monster essence in the Bottomless Pool, he felt a bit of regret.

“The parasitic ability of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed is too weak; planting each one into a demon seed would take considerable time, seriously delaying Daoist Foundation cultivation.”

Chen Mu raised his right hand, and a pin-sized bright white dot appeared on the tip of his index finger.

“This spiritual seed, it should be considered a living thing.”

“Since it’s a living thing, can I refine it using the Plague Immortal Technique?!”

Jade Cicada Qi combined with the Plague Immortal Technique is an excellent method for cultivating Plague Gu.

If this technique can strengthen the parasitic invasion ability of the spiritual seed…

“Let’s do it!”

Joy flashed across Chen Mu’s face.

But only a few days later, the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed blatantly informed Chen Mu that he was happy too soon.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on a soft cushion on the wooden porch in front of the thatched hut, with a face full of worry.

“Even the enigmatic Mistaken Demon Poison can be manipulated, yet this small Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed is so troublesome?”

Since deciding to use the Plague Immortal Technique to enhance the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, he started trying. But after dozens of attempts, all failed.

It’s not that the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed is too strong, but that it’s too weak.

As soon as Chen Mu dared to strongly refine it with the Plague Immortal Technique and Jade Cicada Qi, these little things would dare to die on him.

“Being so confidently weak, it’s really unheard of.” Chen Mu felt somewhat speechless.

Summoning the gray wall, he stared at the Plague Immortal Technique column.

Plague Immortal Technique: 9510/10000/Sixth Rank;

“The spiritual seed is too delicate, refining methods must be more meticulous and gentle.”

“The Plague Immortal Technique still needs to be practiced.”

…

Over the next ten days, aside from daily Daoist Foundation cultivation, Chen Mu spent most of his time practicing the Plague Immortal Technique.

To prevent the newly arrived ghosts from stealing, Chen Mu had no choice but to temporarily place the ghosts in Thousand Lanterns City.

That day, Chen Mu killed another strange demon with nine snake heads, and the Five Ghosts Bag gained five hundred more ghosts, yet his face showed little joy.

“I can’t wait any longer.” Chen Mu used his Shadow Pupil to view Thousand Lanterns City.

Only today did he discover that the ghosts housed inside Thousand Lanterns City had all inexplicably weakened.

If he hadn’t discovered it in time and quickly released them for air, tens of thousands of ghosts might have died and disappeared in patches.

“After all, Thousand Lanterns City is just an incomplete cave heaven, lacking some essential elements for the existence of ghosts.”

Chen Mu summoned the gray wall to view one column.

Plague Immortal Technique: 5306/10000/Seventh Rank;

“Over halfway through the Seventh Rank, it should be sufficient.”

A fluorescence-emitting jade-white star flew out from his brow, gracefully dancing in front of him.

Raising his hand, the golden sand-like Jade Cicada Qi began enveloping the spiritual seed.

The exotic force of the Plague Immortal Technique poured in, causing the sand-like Jade Cicada Qi to melt softly and cautiously soaking the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed within.

But the seed and golden qi seemed like oil and water, always separated by a layer.

Chen Mu dared not force the process; after nearly a hundred experiments he knew, if he forced the Jade Cicada Qi to invade, the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed would inevitably fracture and vanish.

Now he focused solely on sustaining the Plague Immortal Technique, allowing the Jade Cicada Qi to mildly yet persistently pressurize the seed.

A quarter hour, two quarter hours… one hour, two hours later.

At some point, it seemed to reach a critical point.

The weak yet persistent barrier finally softened, strands of Jade Cicada Qi began penetrating the seed.

After a while, Chen Mu’s tense spirit slowly relaxed.

Originally jade-white, the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed was now etched with some golden patterns. As it danced and wandered, it became obviously more swift and agile.

With a slight finger movement, a wisp-like ghost was drawn out of Thousand Lanterns City.

Once again deploying the Yama Emperor’s Command, the ghost was immobilized.

A bead of gold and jade two-colored Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed swiftly drilled into the ghost.

After just a few breaths, Chen Mu’s face displayed a smile.

He leapt into Thousand Lanterns City, waving out a swath of gold and jade two-colored Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds.

Before long, a familiar sensing of the qi connections surfaced in his mind, with nearly ten thousand ghosts successfully implanted with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds.

“With demon seeds as restraints, there’s no fear of this bunch stealing the Bottomless Pool’s Vital Energy.”

“While steadily building the Daoist Foundation, I can also continually accumulate ghosts.”

“This Cloud Mist Mountain is simply my cultivation treasure land!”

…

Cui Ping Mountain City God Temple.

Yun Shan leaned against the main gate of the City Divine Main Hall, sitting on the threshold.

He toyed with a palm-sized Ghost Face Bronze Token, his eyebrows radiating with joy.

“You’re quite proud of getting half of Zhang’an County’s incense vitality.” Di Xing entered the City God Temple wearily, with a face full of disdain.

“Jealous, huh? I’ll give you a… well, half share?” Yun Shan chuckled.

“You truly are generous!” Di Xing mocked.

“Don’t fancy it?”

“Indeed, you are the Inspection Envoy of Lock Dragon Courtyard; such mere incense spiritual energy is of little concern to you.”

“Unlike me, lacking talent and background, I must cherish every little bit of incense spiritual energy.” Yun Shan merrily taunted.

Di Xing’s face darkened: “You remember how you got that Ghost God Order in your hand, don’t you?”

“Of course, of course, all thanks to you.” Yun Shan waved it off, completely unconcerned.

“It was you who secretly drove the strange demons to Zhang’an County, earning me the great merit of sealing the strange demons.”

“Thus, the Guardian Duke bestowed me this Ghost God Order, allowing control over half of Zhang’an County’s incense spiritual energy.”

“But… it was your willing choice, wasn’t it?” Yun Shan shamelessly laughed.

“Unwilling, dissatisfying?”

“Why don’t… you give it a rest?” Yun Shan smirked with satisfaction.

Di Xing was amused by anger: “You truly are shameless!”

The old fellow saw through his desire to use Cloud Mist Mountain to disperse the strange demons, hence acted so brazenly.

Yet he dare not stop indeed.

With Great Zhou driving more strange demons, chaos flourished everywhere, causing many to leave their homes and wander.

With limited influence, guiding more strange demons into Cloud Mist Mountain is the only feasible action he could take.

Di Xing took a deep breath, calming his mood: “Incense spiritual energy can expedite Underworld God Transformation cultivation.”

“But if too fast and the Spiritual Deity fails to temper, it could face a backlash from the Divine Demon consciousness.”

“You’re about to reach Underworld God Nine Transformations, aren’t you?”

“You claimed yourself lacking background and talent; how can you believe you’ll withstand the Divine Demon backlash from the Underworld God Nine Transformations?” Di Xing asked meaningfully.

Yun Shan’s smile unconsciously faded.

“Want some Yellow Millet Wine? Plenty of Yellow Millet Wine. That’s an excellent tonic to enhance the Spiritual Deity.”

“Together with incense spiritual energy, it’s enough to smoothly cultivate your Underworld God Nine Transformations.” Di Xing’s voice was full of enticement.

“What do you want from me?” Yun Shan frowned: “Let me be clear, I’ll never enter Cloud Mist Mountain.”

“Not asking you to investigate Cloud Mist Mountain, for I wouldn’t dare now.” Di Xing smiled: “Just need to borrow your Ghost God Order for a task.”

“Using large amounts of incense spiritual energy to lure more strange demons here?” Yun Shan frowned.

“No, just one. A big strange demon devouring several counties’ people repeatedly.” Di Xing’s expression turned grim.

Yun Shan hesitated.

If the special existence within Cloud Mist Mountain couldn’t handle it…

“Certain people have already noticed Zhang’an County’s peculiarity.”

“Continuous military merits, even those under the Guardian Duke’s command can’t help but envy; how long can you keep being a temple priest here?”

“Why not take on something big, earn enough military merits, and leave early?” Di Xing persuaded patiently.

“I do need to make room for others here.” Yun Shan examined the cold token in his hands complexly, gradually nodding.

“All right, let’s do it!”
