I AM GRINDING EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER WORLD

Days passed one by one, and the hundred-meter tower ship sailed steadily south along the Jade Belt River. The mountains on both sides of the river gradually turned into low and gentle hills, and vast expanses of rice fields were occasionally visible.

At the top of the tower ship, in Xu Zhou’s room, Chen Mu, sitting in a round chair, slowly opened his eyes.

A delicate little hand stretched out from beside him, with a lotus seed lying in its palm.

Chen Mu turned his head and saw a porcelain-like, fine-looking naughty child standing on the round chair opposite the square coffee table. He was holding up the lotus seed and tilting his head as he stared intently at Chen Mu.

“Thanks a lot, little brother Xu Chang,” Chen Mu cheerfully took the lotus seed, and instilled a stream of yin cold power into it.

The soft hissing sound came from within the lotus seed, and a chill sensation suddenly spread from the fingertip; the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern power had already penetrated the lotus seed.

He glanced fleetingly at it and then shifted his gaze to focus on a complex structural pattern in his mind.

Composed of countless silver threads interwoven, it was like clouds and mist; at a glance, it resembled an eye.

At this moment, a large number of silver threads began to fade away as if being erased by an eraser, slowly dissipating.

Over the past ten days or so, he had lost count of how many times he had experienced something similar.

The intricate pattern was the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern True Meaning Atlas; each time he successfully triggered the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern, the atlas would emerge in his mind. However, once the power of the Ghost Pattern was released, the related memories would fade away.

Fortunately, they would ultimately leave behind some fragments, and as the number of times he connected with the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern increased, the remaining fragments also became more and more, enabling him to remember an increasingly complete atlas.

“According to Old Xu, as long as I can remember one-tenth or two-tenths of it, I can make my own filament guide as an anchor point, and independently connect with the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern from the Nine Serenities Abyss,” Chen Mu, without any unnecessary movement, just calmly watched it fade away.

Before long, the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern True Meaning Atlas in his mind settled down, the intricate structure of silver threads inside disappeared completely, but a substantial outline remained on the periphery, already resembling two or three parts of the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern.

Moved by a thought, Chen Mu saw a gray wall appear before his eyes.

Ghost Channeling (Netherworld Ghost Pattern): 2614/10000;

Feeling the insights reflected by the gray wall, Chen Mu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“Perhaps it’s worth a try.”

At that thought, the Yin Spirit Divine Power mixed with blood and vital energy transformed into Ghost Channeling Divine Power.

The incomplete atlas in his mind suddenly became prominent, as if a dim fluorescent light suddenly blazed brightly.

The Ghost Channeling Divine Power transformed, and within a few breaths, a silver thread as fine as a strand of hair appeared in the palm of his hand.

“It really worked, haha!” Chen Mu felt a rush of elation in his heart.

The thread in his hand was precisely the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern’s filament guide; with it, he could independently connect with the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern without needing Xu Zhou’s guidance.

He immediately performed the Ghost Channeling Spell once more; with the help of the silver thread in his hand, he skillfully pulled out the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern from the Nine Serenities Abyss. When he opened his eyes again, a clump of yin cold power had already appeared in the palm of his hand.

Chen Mu grasped the chilly lotus seed he had held before and infused the transformed Ghost Channeling Divine Power into it again.

Pop!

The lotus seed, like an overinflated balloon, burst into pieces.

Yet Chen Mu was not annoyed in the slightest but instead revealed a smile.

“Have you learned it?” Xu Zhou said, full of surprise, staring at Chen Mu.

It had only been a few days?!

“It’s only making the Medicinal Guide; to fully master the Ghost Pattern Atlas will still take some time,” Chen Mu said with a hint of regret.

Hearing this, Xu Zhou rolled his eyes.

“Only the Netherworld Ghost God can master the Netherworld Ghost Patterns, and for Lock Dragon Knights to remember parts of the atlas is already their limit.”

“And you want to completely master the Ghost Pattern Atlas? I think you’re dreaming!”

“Then each time it’s used, a Medicinal Guide needs to be used as well, which means preparing for some time. It’s fine if it’s used for laying out a Dojo, but in a fight against someone…” Chen Mu frowned.

This Netherworld Ghost Pattern, it seemed, was not as swift and convenient as he had imagined.

“That’s why you make Netherworld Magic Instruments, to store the power of Ghost Patterns, so that when it’s needed, you can directly activate and use it,” Xu Zhou explained.

It seemed somewhat similar to a Qi Cultivator’s Talisman.

Chen Mu was inwardly surprised.

“Now that you’ve mastered the filament guide, you can continue practicing on your own.”

“I’ll go to Yuan Xian to get some materials and teach you Netherworld Magic Instrument refining in a few days,” Xu Zhou said with a smile.

Three days later, Xu Zhou appeared before Chen Mu with a wooden box, smiling.

“The Netherworld Ghost Patterns can be stored in physical objects, but ordinary materials can only carry them temporarily.”

“This calls for better materials, such as Monster Exotic Beast skin, flesh, and bones, or Green Bricks soaked for decades under the Lock Dragon Well.”

“But since you’re trying to forge a Water-Repelling Pearl, why not start directly with a Water-Repelling Pearl?” Saying this, he opened the wooden box next to him, where three pearls the size of walnuts and resembling White Jade lay inside, their surfaces covered in fine threads of blood-red patterns, appearing quite mysterious and magnificent.

“Is this… a pearl produced by the Water Avoidance Wave Stabilizing Pearl?” asked Chen Mu, picking up one with interest.

In the past few days, besides mastering the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern, he had not given up on pondering the secrets of the Water-Repelling Pearl. It was clearly recorded that pearls produced by the Water Avoidance Wave Stabilizing Pearl were the main materials for the Water-Repelling Pearl.

“It’s simple to use the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern to protect the Water-Repelling Pearl.”

“Just keep layering the Red-Eyed Ghost Patterns into the pearls from the Water Avoidance Wave Stabilizing Pearl.”

“After each insertion, set up a layer of Ghost Channeling Divine Power to isolate and seal it.”

“After layering three hundred and sixty patterns, you can fake a Water-Repelling Pearl, and ordinary Qi Cultivators won’t be able to find the slightest flaw.”

Chen Mu immediately understood.

Several days later.

At the top floor of a hundred-meter-long building-boat, in Chen Mu’s room.

He held a White Jade pearl in his hand, skillfully activating the Ghost Channeling Spell to connect with the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern. A cold force appeared in the palm of his hand, flowing along his fingers into the pearl.

When the power was completely injected, he used the Ghost Channeling Spell again, not entering the Nine Serenities Abyss but instead wrapping the pearl with Ghost Channeling Divine Power, slowly penetrating inwards. The pearl, which had turned a bit chilly due to the Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern, immediately returned to normal.

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction, then started another round of injection and sealing.

At a certain moment.

Puff!

There was a soft sound, and the pearl from the Water Avoidance Wave Stabilizing Pearl suddenly turned into powder and dispersed.

“Failed again,” Chen Mu frowned heavily.

This was the second pearl he had experimented with; the first one collapsed inexplicably after he layered seventy-five Red-Eyed Ghost Patterns.

This one had only fifty-three patterns layered before chaotic forces emerged within the pearl.

As Chen Mu pondered with a frown, a jade-white little hand extended in front of him again.

“Have some lotus seeds, they’re sweet,” said a five or six-year-old Xu Chang, who was currently peeling lotus seeds and resting on the desk.

Seeing Chen Mu fail at refining the Water-Repelling Pearl, she immediately pushed a small plate of lotus seeds towards him.

Looking into her clear, large eyes that vividly contrasted between black and white, the frustration Chen Mu felt from the failure dissipated greatly.

“Thanks, little Chang, but you have them,” Chen Mu said with a smile, refusing.

“Why did it fail?” he wondered, scratching his head.

“Because grandpa didn’t teach you the trick,” Xu Chang said crisply.

What does she mean?

Chen Mu was taken aback.

Was it because of a grudge with Yuan Xian, so he held back?

But if Yuan Xian dared to let Xu Zhou teach him, he would have been certain that Xu Zhou wouldn’t hold back, but now…

“Grandpa said you’re learning too quickly; if he teaches you everything too soon, he won’t be able to continue swindling money from Grandpa Yuan,” she said.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

You want to swindle Yuan Xian, why didn’t you say so earlier?

Give me half, and I could help you swindle old Yuan to the point of bankruptcy!
