I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Several days later, in front of the bamboo building retreat, a square table was placed beside the eastern window of the porch.

In the center of the table, there were dishes such as mashed garlic with white pork slices and scallion pork ribs, a mix of three meats and two vegetables. Next to it, a flat bamboo basket piled high with secret-recipe pies.

These past few days, he had been busy with refining All-Disease Pills to gain experience, consuming nothing but Replenishing Origin Soup and Fasting Pills. Today, having reached a milestone, he immediately made himself a satisfying feast to appease his cravings.

Like a whirlwind cleaning up, he released Five Ghosts Paper Man to wash the dishes and clean the plates. Chen Mu leaned against the porch pillar, letting the gray wall appear before his eyes.

"The Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pill experience value has reached its limit; these seven-eight days of focused training were not in vain."

For the first five or six days, he refined one pill at a time to increase the frequency of alchemy and raise his proficiency.

Once the experience was maxed out, he let loose and, in two days, used up all the poisonous miasma stored in the gourd, reaping more than eighty All-Disease Pills.

"Once I find the time to sell them, it will be another sum of White Jade Money."

Chen Mu chuckled for a while, then his gaze moved to another column.

The Netherworld Grand Summary was fundamental; he allocated time every day to cultivate it. As his experience increased, he underwent a silent transformation. His mana became more potent, his physique more robust, and his Five Ghosts Possession grew increasingly formidable.

"In less than a month, I should be able to complete the current stage."

After mulling over his progress for a while, Chen Mu shifted his gaze again.

Giant Spirit Divine: 66/10000/Fifth Rank;

"This secret technique seems to be no simple matter."

The technique originated from the six Wu Mountain siblings and was initially treated as an ordinary Secret Technique.

Later, he discovered it could consume the excess vital energy from Replenishing Origin Soup and assist in cultivating the Netherworld Grand Summary to a certain extent, so he included it in his daily mandatory routine. Accumulated over time, the progress was always steady. As the rank rose, its unique properties began to manifest.

At the thought, a red vortex swirled behind him, and a figure clad in golden red armor, over three meters tall, a half-body deity statue, emerged.

At the same time, a series of secret technique information flooded into his mind.

"Fifth Rank secret technique, capable of bestowing a twofold increase in strength to the practitioner, based on the state of the practitioner at the time of casting the technique."

"Does that mean if I initiate Five Ghosts Possession first and then activate Giant Spirit Divine, the secret technique will amplify based on my state after Five Ghosts Possession?!" Even though he had a premonition, he still felt an incredible sense of disbelief.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but suddenly clench his fist, squeezing a dull booming sound out of the air.

"No wonder I easily tore through Sun Wujiu’s Yin Binding Seven Kills."

"At that time, the Giant Spirit Divine was only Fourth Rank, enhancing only by one fold! If the Giant Spirit Divine is cultivated to the limit..."

"Hiss!"

The earlier Truthful Listening Technique already surprised him; now, the Giant Spirit Divine also showed its mystery. What about the secret techniques of the others? ⱤÀɴöВÈṤ

"It seems I should meet with the six Wu Mountain siblings before leaving East Ridge."

...

Underground Secret Chamber.

Chen Mu sat on the soft couch, opening and inspecting Mustard Seed Talismans one by one.

In front of him lay a low table filled with medicinal herbs, ores, animal hides, talismans, and other miscellaneous items, while several flying swords lay on the ground next to the soft couch.

These items were all from killing Sun Wujiu and the others.

Previously concerned they might be tracked, he had kept them buried underground. Now, after half a month had passed with Sun Jian scurrying around East Ridge like a headless fly, Chen Mu finally dared to take them out and categorize his inventory.

With just a cursory glance, he noticed many items smeared with dark red bloodstains.

"Why am I not at all surprised," Chen Mu scoffed.

"Outwardly searching for the family heirloom, yet secretly engaging in murder and plunder. Tsk..."

After emptying more than a dozen Mustard Seed Talismans, all that was left was a round Jade Pendant, which he held and fiddled with in his hand.

The Jade Pendant was palm-sized, pale green in color, with a band of cloud patterns around the edge and a small, slightly raised spherical surface in the center, the size of a Copper Coin.

It looked like an accessory, but was in fact a reusable Mustard Seed Jade Charm.

Channeling mana to his fingertips, he touched the center of the Jade Pendant. A force that continued to expand was drawn forth by his mana.

He flicked it skillfully towards the low table, and with a thud, a large wooden cabinet tall as a man appeared before him.

"Sure enough, the head of a household uses a slightly larger storage cabinet than others."

Compared to the others’ cluttered items, Sun Wujiu’s belongings were much simpler.

First were the White Jade Coins, roughly estimated to be around three thousand.

Then there were some Elixir Charm Scripts.

The majority were various Metal Ingots, almost filling up half the storage cabinet.

Chen Mu immediately thought of the gourd Sword Box.

"Was it for forging Flying Swords?"

"No wonder I only have three thousand White Jade Coins on me."

Three thousand White Jade Coins is a huge sum for disciples of the Lower Courtyard, but compared to the head of a household from the Sun Family, it’s far from enough."

"He must have also bought some Rejuvenation Pills."

Originally, Sun Wuhuan didn’t have much White Jade Money either."

"The Netherworld Grand Summary is a major energy consumer, naturally requiring a large number of Rejuvenation Pills."

"Now it seems, the gourd sword box is also a gold-eating beast."

"No wonder the people of the Sun Family are so greedy, one after another."

"Luckily, I have Replenishing Origin Soup as a substitute for Rejuvenation Pills." Chen Mu felt quite fortunate.

Compared to elixirs that require precious medicinal herbs, Replenishing Origin Soup only needs Exotic Beast Meat. Using it to cultivate the Netherworld Grand Summary is ridiculously cost-effective."

"It’s a pity that I couldn’t find Sun Wujiu’s Yin Binding Seven Kills secret technique, nor the Isolation Barrier Technique." Chen Mu lamented as he flipped through a jade slip as long as a forearm.

Recorded within the jade slip was the Netherworld Grand Summary, which he had once obtained from Sun Wuhuan.

"Looks like I can only keep it as a souvenir."

He carefully classified and sealed them into Mustard Seed Talismans, then put them into the Five Ghosts Bag. A large pile of items was quickly organized and put away.

"Quite a few odds and ends, I’ll find an opportunity to sell them, and exchange them all for White Jade Coins."

...

"Find someone to cover for me?"

"That position of a scholarette at Mist Smoke Mountain, there are not many willing to take it."

On the western side of the bamboo building’s veranda, Jia Tian sat by a low table, shaking his head continuously.

Chen Mu’s face was indifferent, "Pay them."

"It’s only because it’s you, Senior Brother; otherwise, I wouldn’t take this job," Jia Tian said with a look of righteous indignation.

Tsk, just look at that money-grubbing face of yours.

"Qing Lu’s courtyard in the capital has profound strength; it won’t do to just fool around with any replacement," Chen Mu worried.

This little baldy had followed Shang Huan and learned only bad things in the past. For the sake of White Jade Money, he’d often sold substandard goods as high quality.

"You wouldn’t believe how many warriors from Da Qian are here in East Ridge, it’s simply a matter of reaching out to find someone careful and clean; it’s not hard," Jia Tian expressed with confidence.

"Yeah, I almost forgot; besides being a crafty merchant, you also have the title of a little prince," Chen Mu commented, looking at the other party lazily over the low table.

The little baldy humbly waved his hands, "It’s nothing, not worth mentioning!"

Chen Mu rolled his eyes, unable to help it.

"Try to get it done within a month, preferably before the next cloud bat airship arrives."

"Senior Brother is leaving East Ridge," Jia Tian’s smile vanished.

Chen Mu nodded calmly; he just wanted to find a peaceful space to cultivate.

"In that case, this time, I won’t take money for it," Jia Tian sighed.

Chen Mu’s eyebrows rose.

Not taking money? Has the sun risen from the west?

"What is that look, Senior Brother!" Jia Tian exclaimed with a look of offense.

Chen Mu didn’t say anything, just kept giving him a sidelong glance.

"Hehe, according to those chaps who help you with purchasing and delivery, Senior Brother, you’ve been researching new elixir pills recently, right?" Jia Tian rubbed his hands, "My shop hasn’t been open long and could really use some top-quality items to draw customers. So, you see..."

That’s more like it.

But...

"You’re not selling fakes in your shop, are you?"

"That I can’t do," Jia Tian said with conviction, "well, let me put it this way: my shops have never had a single return."

Explore new worlds at

Why does that line sound so familiar?

Chen Mu looked at Jia Tian with suspicion.

Forget it, if this little baldy really dared to sell fakes in his shop, he’d just be smashing his own signboard. In the end, he’d be the one at a loss.

Chen Mu shook his head and no longer pondered over it, taking out the All-Disease Pills he had practiced making a few days earlier.

"I can sell you the medicines, but you’d better hurry up with finding a replacement," he said.

"Don’t worry!"

"I will certainly sort it out perfectly for you!"
