I am grinding experience in another world

Yangdu Square, Jiwei Courtyard.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the low platform by the window.

On the small square table in front of him, there were three palm-sized porcelain dishes, each containing a walnut-sized piece of bright red demon beast meat.

“Let’s see what demon poison is all about.” Chen Mu stared intently at the meat in the porcelain dishes.

The Truth Listening Divine Power was fully activated, and three traceable, minute vibrations appeared near his ears.

The sound was too faint and elusive; it was impossible to hear if not listened to carefully.

“There is a life rhythm, which means the meat is alive.”

“The so-called demon poison might very well be some kind of special living organism, somewhat like bacteria or viruses.” Chen Mu mused.

“Perhaps I can try the Seven Emotions Flame.” An idea struck him.

The Seven Emotions Flame specializes in burning spiritual deities, and since demon poison is a living entity, it might be afraid of the Seven Emotions Flame as well.

Acting on the thought immediately.

With a flick of his wrist, a handful of colorless flame floated in his palm and quickly enveloped the demon beast meat on the first porcelain dish to the left.

Truth Listening Divine Power focused intensely on the meat, but after a while, although the life rhythm within the meat was as weak as a dwindling candle, it still remained steadfast.

“It’s indeed not that simple.” Chen Mu waved away the Seven Emotions Flame.

Although somewhat disappointed, it was expected.

The Thousand Mechanisms Sect is a large sect, yet only the Nanming Li Fire in the Heavenly Craft Furnace can purify demon poison, proving its troublesome nature.

If the Seven Emotions Flame could easily eliminate demon poison, it would be suspicious.

“Perhaps the Jade Cicada Qi can have some effect.” Chen Mu’s thoughts turned.

Previously, he conducted experiments where the Jade Cicada Qi enhanced the physique of small insects, making them fight and grow stronger, it was suitable for practicing gu.

Later, he also temporarily controlled the Plague Immortal Flag with the Jade Cicada Qi, recovering a large amount of Yellow Millet Plague Poison.

“Since demon poison is a living entity, albeit a minute one, perhaps the Jade Cicada Qi can be effective.”

Chen Mu extended his right index finger, a golden bean-sized energy mass appeared at his fingertip.

With a flick, the Jade Cicada Qi penetrated the meat in the second porcelain dish.

At first, there didn’t appear to be any changes, but soon after, Chen Mu noticed the Jade Cicada Qi scattered within the demon beast meat started to slowly dissipate.

Chen Mu fully activated the Truth Listening Divine Power, and the previously unhearable life rhythm unexpectedly enhanced by two degrees!

“There’s a way!” Chen Mu’s eyes lit up.

The Jade Cicada Qi was effective, giving him the possibility to intervene with demon poison.

Although the Plague Immortal Technique couldn’t kill the demon poison, he could think of ways to draw it out and collect it like the Yellow Millet Plague Poison.

Without demon poison, the demon beast meat from Outer Heaven would naturally be clean!

He immediately began to activate the Plague Immortal Technique and give it a try.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Mu stopped and summoned the grey wall data.

Plague Immortal Technique: 7566/10000/Second Rank;

“The Plague Immortal Technique is still lacking.” He sighed and shook his head.

With the Jade Cicada Qi, Chen Mu’s perception of demon poison clearly enhanced, but only the perceptive ability was strengthened. The Second Rank Plague Immortal Technique struggled to affect demon poison.

“If only I had the Plague Immortal Flag.” Chen Mu shook his head wistfully.

The Plague Immortal Flag is a powerful amplifier for the Plague Immortal Technique; having it, even the Second Rank technique might intervene with the demon poison.

“Forget it, it’s ultimately not my magic treasure, there’s nothing I can do.” Chen Mu said.

“The Plague Immortal Technique is better; once mastered, it becomes one’s own skill, not relying on external items.”

“Currently, unable to deal with demon poison is merely due to insufficient rank.”

“It’s just about grinding experience, I’m familiar with this!”

…

Heavenly Pass City Inner City, Star Monarch Hall.

Lan Xiuzhu, dressed in grey clothes, stood at the hall entrance, gazing at the stars in the sky.

“Looking up all day at the Kuimu Star Group, what, you’re thinking of joining Pure Yang Dao? It’s a pity they don’t want you.” A clear voice echoed from deep within the Star Monarch Hall.

“Senior Sister, I haven’t seen you in three hundred years, unexpectedly you rejuvenated!” Lan Xiuzhu turned, looking pleased as he saw Meng Qingchan: “Congratulations!”

Meng Qingchan’s expression immediately darkened.

She hadn’t rejuvenated but incurred significant loss due to the failure of the Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique. She didn’t believe Lan Xiuzhu couldn’t see her situation; he was clearly mocking her!

“Junior Brother, your tongue remains sharp!” Meng Qingchan sneered.

“Senior Sister, likewise.” Lan Xiuzhu replied with a gentle smile.

“Enough talk, where’s my Plague Immortal Flag?” Meng Qingchan said with displeasure.

Lan Xiuzhu casually waved his hand, and thirty-five red triangular order flags appeared instantly within the hall.

Meng Qingchan’s expression eased.

With a gesture, an ink-green Plague Immortal Flag materialized beside her.

Mage energies surged, and the thirty-five red order flags noiselessly transformed into red dust, quickly merging into the ink-green order flag.

“Senior Sister was previously at the Border Shelter Star?” Lan Xiuzhu’s face revealed sudden realization.

“No wonder I couldn’t locate the Plague Immortal Flag, it turns out Senior Sister had taken it away. I thought Senior Brother Lu might have intercepted it.” He added, slightly furrowing his brow: “With the Plague Immortal Flag in hand, why did Senior Sister’s Golden Cicada Shell Shedding Technique go awry?”

“Ah, it’s nothing, just a sly thief exploiting a loophole.” Meng Qingchan’s face twitched, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

She hadn’t anticipated that Chen Mu could extract vital energy from the Inheriting Heaven Gourd.

She didn’t know where he got that bottomless Cold Lake capable of countering the various Forbidden Laws on the Inheriting Heaven Gourd.

Even though she was in a dormant state at the time, she wasn’t entirely oblivious to external happenings. Recalling that lake still filled her with dread.

“Do you need me to help clean up the mess?” Lan Xiuzhu said solemnly.

“Are you looking to mock me?” Meng Qingchan glanced at him sideways.

“It’s rare to see someone causing Senior Sister to suffer, indeed a rare sight.” Lan Xiuzhu chuckled.

“Get lost!” Meng Qingchan snapped, her eyebrows arched.

…

Demon Dispel Alley, Xin Si Courtyard.

Chen Mu attentively examined the large blue-black snail before him.

This demon beast is called the Green Jade Snail; the snail shell houses at the Heavenly Craft Camp in the Border Shelter Star were refined from the Green Jade Snail.

“This thing is quite precious, make sure your hand doesn’t tremble,” Steward Wu warned nervously, “A small scratch on the inner wall will render the shell unusable.”

“If it’s so precious, why entrust it to me? Aren’t you afraid I might mishandle it?” Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

“What if it works?” Steward Wu gritted his teeth, “The veterans in the courtyard have lost their motivation long ago. You’re the only one left with some hope.”

“You hold me in high regard?” Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“If you handle the Green Jade Snail successfully, our Xin Si Courtyard’s rank will rise immediately.”

“Then the Daoist Cultivation we earn will double.”

“This benefits both of us, don’t hold back.” Steward Wu said sternly.

Alright then.

Chen Mu shrugged in agreement.

He waved Steward Wu away, ensuring no one was watching, then he conjured a mosquito-wing-like thin green Qi Blade.

The Qi Blade effortlessly cut through the residual Qi within the Green Jade Snail, slicing into the edge of the circular snail shell.

It then clung tightly to the inner wall, advancing quickly and precisely inside. All the muscle fibers adhered to the inner wall were swiftly severed by the green Qi Blade.

Soon enough, Chen Mu slightly lifted his index finger, activating the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles. The white soft body inside the snail shell was easily extracted into the air.

A distinct aroma permeated the isolating demon dispel area.

“Success.” Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction.

With his Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique, the skills honed from years of roasting and slicing meat, and the Truth Listening Divine Power investigating the snail shell structure, the tricky Green Jade Snail was easy for him to handle.

“It’s a pity the Plague Immortal Technique’s rank is still insufficient.” Inhaling the mouth-watering special aroma, Chen Mu couldn’t help but shake his head.

The snail meat smelled delightful, but it still contained demon poison. Even if refined into Replenishing Origin Soup or Nourishing Spirit Wine, they couldn’t be consumed due to contamination.

He glanced at the grey wall data before him.

Plague Immortal Technique: 133/10000/Third Rank;

In the past seven to eight days, he spent all his spare time studying the Plague Immortal Technique, progressing gratifyingly.

But the demon poison is stubborn, and even at Third Rank, the Plague Immortal Technique only enhanced his perception of demon poison slightly; he still couldn’t extract it.

“I need to continue practicing.” Chen Mu’s mind was serene.

“The arrival of the Green Jade Snail is timely.”

“Although the Plague Immortal Technique won’t work for now, earning more Daoist Cultivation will be beneficial, allowing him to acquire more medicinal ingredients to refine Rejuvenation Pills.”

“In the next two to three months, he could ensure his progress with the Daoist Foundation cultivation.”
