I AM GRINDING EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER WORLD

At the entrance of the cliffside cave mansion, Lu Han stared at Chen Mu with an unfriendly expression.

“Where did you go!”

“Brother Lu, you know me, in my free time, I would only be at Wanjing Cave.” Chen Mu said matter-of-factly, spouting nonsense.

“Nonsense!”

“That lazy old man Hu at Wanjing Cave wouldn’t bother to get up so early to open the door for you.” Lu Han scolded bitterly, as if disappointed.

“Your face looks pale, your eyes are listless—no doubt you went to Peach Blossom Nook to meet some vixen!”

Peach Blossom Nook? Vixen?

The market district two hundred miles north of Hundred Illusion Sect? Is it truly such a good place?

Chen Mu’s eyes gleamed with interest.

“Stop pretending!” Lu Han was fuming.

“Everyone in Peach Blossom Pavilion practices the Six Desires Peach Blossom Scripture.”

“Stay too long, and it’ll drain all your Essence and Primordial Spirit!”

“Not only will it harm your Daoist Soldier training, but your own cultivation stage will stagnate. In the end, it may even shorten your lifespan!”

Men and women?

No way, is Peach Blossom Pavilion really that wild?

This… this makes me even more curious to see it for myself!

Chen Mu had a roguish grin plastered across his face.

Lu Han: “…”

“Wait a minute, do you really not know about Peach Blossom Pavilion in Peach Blossom Nook?” He seemed a little stunned.

“Thank you for pointing it out, Brother Lu. Otherwise, I truly wouldn’t have known about such a wonderful place in Mist Forest!” Chen Mu responded with a cheeky smile.

Lu Han wished he could slap his own mouth.

This guy was already lazy and cunning, and now he knows about Peach Blossom Nook, a place to waste time and indulge in pleasure…

It’s over. This Daoist Soldier apprentice probably won’t graduate this year. I might lose a large chunk of Daoist Cultivation profit in the next three to four years!

“How did Old Man Hu at Wanjing Cave even bother to open the door for you?” Lu Han grumbled with resentment.

“Of course, I used White Jade.” Chen Mu replied mysteriously, making things up.

“He said he has secrets about passing through the Grinding Stone Workshop. I visited him early and late just to inquire about this technique of his.”

“That greedy old man opened up a new side hustle without us knowing?!” Lu Han immediately boiled with anger.

Haha!

Splashing mud on Old Man Hu’s name—success!

“Brother Lu, why are you here?” Chen Mu laughed inwardly but feigned confusion outwardly.

“Can’t you see this fog everywhere?” Lu Han snapped irritably.

“There’s been a disturbance at Prison Valley. Everyone is required to gather at Qingqiu Palace on the mountaintop, waiting for the elders to investigate the cause.”

“Follow me. You’re the only one missing from our group.” After speaking, Lu Han folded his hands behind his back and marched up the stone stairs.

Chen Mu hurriedly followed along.

While walking, he turned his head to glance at the suffocatingly thick fog that blotted out the sky. His playful expression faded, and he shivered involuntarily.

The black-robed figure he had encountered at the bottom of Prison Valley still lingered in his mind.

“Could this be another cataclysmic chaos?”

“Am I really destined to bring turmoil wherever I go?”

“Impossible. I’m no harbinger of chaos.” Chen Mu’s face showed a mixture of complex and indescribable emotions.

…

Although everyone was told to gather in Qingqiu Palace, the majority actually grouped up in threes or fives around the palace’s outskirts.

Only seven or eight elders and the sect master Zheng Bailian were allowed within Qingqiu Palace.

By noon.

The elders investigating surrounding anomalies assembled in the center of the palace hall.

“I checked; all the demons within the seals of the first thirty layers have completely vanished.” Hu Buwei said gravely.

“Dead?” Hundred Illusion Sect Master Zheng Bailian frowned. Dressed in a loose cyan robe, he appeared as a pale and slightly delicate-looking young man.

“It seems the Ninety-nine Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition was triggered by some external stimulation, activating a specific mechanism that drained the core Essence of the sealed demons completely.”

Zheng Bailian nodded slightly.

“Leftover consequences from last time when the Heavenly Star shifted?”

Hu Buwei shook his head slowly: “I’m afraid external forces might be at work.”

“Could someone be trying to break the seals and release the demons?” Elder Chuan Changzai’s bushy mustache twitched, his face darkened.

The expressions of all the elders hardened at that remark.

…

“I’m definitely not the one who provoked the Inheriting Heaven Law Prohibition!”

Not far outside Qingqiu Palace, Chen Mu, sitting on a gray-white stone, vigorously shook his head.

“I was merely wandering around, picking some Peach Wood Core. How could I possibly trigger a reaction from the Law Prohibition?”

“Nine Heads!”

“It must have been Nine Heads!”

“That Three-headed Flood Dragon has always been unruly. He probably tried to send extra Primordial Qi to escape the seal, which caused the chain reaction!”

Listening to the conversation inside Qingqiu Palace, Chen Mu had a look of certainty on his face.

“That has to be it!”

“Well… even if it’s not, it is!”

…

Below the mountain cliffs outside Qingqiu Palace, tasteful platforms were arranged in scattered layers. On these platforms, there were ponds and peach forests, with shaded pavilions standing near the edges, creating a refined aesthetic.

At this moment, Chen Mu sat by a pond.

Not far away, Lu Han sat on the steps of a pavilion, passionately explaining Curse Commands.

“The foundation of the Sealing Demon Curse lies in Demon Dispel Skill. It serves to combine everyone’s strength, helping to collectively fend off attacks from demons.”

“The Heavenly Star battlefield changes in an instant. While most of you will usually stay at the rear encampment handling demon corpses, there’s always a chance some stragglers from the front line might charge at the camp.”

“The Sealing Demon Curse is your best weapon against demons.”

“Heavenly Demons and demons are powerful, but with dozens or even hundreds of people jointly using Demon Dispel Skill, even if you can’t kill the demon, you can hold its attack long enough for the High Cultivators stationed at the camp to step in and resolve the crisis.”

“For you all, it’s an invaluable survival technique.”

“Take this opportunity to practice with me and refine your coordination.” Lu Han shouted loudly, calling everyone to begin chanting the Curse Command.

Chen Mu tried chanting the Curse Words out of curiosity.

After chanting a few times, he indeed effortlessly triggered the vibration of the Demon Dispel Skill talisman.

The dozen or so people around also gave it a try, and instantly streams of green Demon Dispel Power soared into the air.

These energies spread out and merged in midair, gradually forming a translucent Light Shield that enveloped the entire small platform.

Combining the strength of everyone for protection—it resembles the Mountain-Carrying Scripture.

Chen Mu was quite intrigued as he looked up at the Light Shield above.

Interesting.

…

In the following days, Chen Mu and the others were required to stay by the small pavilion outside Qingqiu Palace.

Hundred Illusion Sect even distributed a bottle of Fasting Pills to each disciple to stave off hunger.

The elders regularly flew into the dense fog that covered the Qingqiu Mountain basin to investigate.

Chen Mu didn’t idle around either. He deployed nine Vermilion Feather Swords, exploring not just Qingqiu Mountain but also the surrounding Mist Forest within a radius of over a hundred miles.

However, he never encountered the black-skirted woman in the mist again.

“At least it can be confirmed she’s not a Heavenly Demon Monster that escaped the seal.” Chen Mu’s heart settled slightly.

Based on the Hundred Illusion Sect elders’ findings, the demons within the seals of the first thirty layers of the Inheriting Heaven Law Prohibition had been drained of their core Essence and utterly destroyed.

Although the deeper layers couldn’t be accessed for inspection, they were confirmed through Secret Techniques to still hold demons securely inside without escaping the Sealing Cave Heaven.

“A chance encounter with a senior High Cultivator passing through?”

“But if he or she was simply passing by, why scare me with such mysterious appearances?”

“Some people are just insane!”

…

After two more days.

Chen Mu and the others had preliminary mastery of the Sealing Demon Curse. The dense fog surrounding the area began to dissipate slowly. Orders came from Qingqiu Palace for everyone to disband on the spot.

By dusk, at the entrance of the cliffside cave mansion.

Chen Mu lounged in a wobbly chair, gazing out through the open doorway at the distant Golden Yuan Valley fields.

Although the assembly had disbanded only at noon, disciples were already riding Flying Kites to scatter Demon Qi Stone powder and enrich the Spiritual Field.

Golden Yuan Valley is unique; it absorbs the demon aura from Demon Qi Stones to simultaneously nourish Essence and Primordial Spirit. Consuming large quantities of its crops could even replace Rejuvenation Pills, aiding Qi Cultivators in condensing their Divine Orifice.

“Cultivating the Peach God is now out of the question.” Chen Mu sighed deeply.

With the Ninety-nine Inheriting Heaven Law Prohibition experiencing a major incident, Sect Master Zheng Bailian decided to conduct irregular checks on the underground seals. Chen Mu wouldn’t dare to venture underground again.

Besides, with one anomaly in the Law Prohibition, who knows if there will be another? What if the seal sucked him into the Sealing Cave Heaven?

This time the Law Prohibition’s reaction drained over thirty Outer Heaven Demons of their core Essence.

If he got caught up in that…

Hiss!

“Things really have come to an end now.” Chen Mu glanced at the array of small wooden figures filling the shelves of the Five Ghosts Bag, sighing in resignation once more.

It’s not like he was planning to rebel against Thousand Mechanisms Sect—Five Thunders Bombarding Heavenly Punishment was still far off from him.

All he wanted was some extra leeway to avoid being sent to his death.

These two hundred and twelve Peach Gods should be enough to resist the backlash from the Daoist Soldier Contract… right?

Ugh!

It’s all Old Man Hu’s fault for being too greedy!

Chen Mu couldn’t help but feel indignant.

If it weren’t for Hu selling too many Nine-Life Tribulation Splitting Techniques, people wouldn’t have come to compete with him for Moli Silver Peach Wood Core.

Without those people, he might have already cultivated up to three hundred Peach Gods by now.

Then he wouldn’t be so plagued with worries.
