I am grinding experience in another world

Demon Dispel Alley, Xin Si Courtyard.

At the door of a spacious room, Chen Mu was lying on a brand-new rocking chair with his eyes closed, resting.

“Slacking off again?” The short, chubby Steward Wu suddenly appeared at the door, looking displeased. “I moved you to the inner courtyard, and now you just slack off and do nothing all day?”

Chen Mu didn’t even lift his eyelids. He lazily pointed towards the Demon-solving Stone Platform inside the room.

“Two Green Jade Snails?!” Just a moment ago, Steward Wu was full of displeasure, but now his face lit up with joy.

He strode into the room, carefully inspecting the two snail shells, his smile growing even wider.

Even the veterans of Demon Dispel Alley could only handle six or seven Green Jade Snails a day, and Chen Mu had processed two just in the morning!

“I made the right bet!” He quickly returned to Chen Mu, his face full of obsequious smiles.

Being able to handle Green Jade Snails meant that Chen Mu could handle more complex demon beasts in the future. With such a demon-dispelling expert, Xin Si Courtyard was bound to rise in status. This brought considerable benefits for a manager like him.

“Can I slack off now?” Chen Mu opened one eye and glanced obliquely at the short, chubby man.

“This is not slacking off, sir, you are clearly conserving your strength for better demon dispelling!” Steward Wu’s expression changed, his face full of serious respect.

Tsk tsk!

Your face changes so quickly.

“Then you…”

“I will leave immediately and not disturb your rest!” The short, chubby man promptly picked up the two snail shells and turned to leave without hesitation.

Watching him disappear through the Moon Gate of the small courtyard, Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Ever since he demonstrated his skill in handling Green Jade Snails, he had been assigned to this small courtyard.

He didn’t need to deal with other small demon remains, just focusing on the Green Jade Snails.

And for each one he processed, he could earn fifteen Daoist Cultivation points, more than his usual daily earnings.

With the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique, Chen Mu only needed a quarter of an hour to handle one. If he really went all out, he could process thirty or forty Green Jade Snails in a day.

But…

“The best demon-dispelling master in Demon Dispel Alley can only handle nine Green Jade Snails a day.”

“Four a day is just right for me, it’s best not to increase this in the short term.” Chen Mu pondered to himself.

As a newcomer, processing four Green Jade Snails a day was already quite noticeable. Doing more would definitely attract attention, and he didn’t want others disturbing his peaceful cultivation life.

…

He popped a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth and closed his eyes, sinking into his Jade Seed.

Skillfully reversing the River Car Divine Acupoint, it didn’t take long for his mana to transform into nine strands of Innate Primordial Qi, which merged into the inner wall of the Jade Seed.

A golden shimmer flashed across the inner and outer surfaces of the Jade Seed.

From a certain golden vein, several tiny golden threads emerged. The inner wall of white jade thickened imperceptibly.

These changes were almost undetectable without a careful comparison, making it seem like the cultivation had no effect at all.

But Chen Mu was used to this.

Reconstructing the Jade Seed was like building a house, the Daoist Foundation Atlas was the blueprint, and the Innate Primordial Qi was the bricks and tiles. Each session of cultivation was adding bricks and tiles.

At first glance, the effect wasn’t obvious, but only through gradual accumulation would that high-rise building be completed.

“It’s just the meticulous work of grinding an inkstone, I’ve encountered this before, let’s keep practicing.” Chen Mu shrugged, his mindset quite peaceful.

He turned his focus towards the center of the Jade Seed.

The Nine-layered Divine Acupoint Talisman, the size of a longan, was rotating in an orderly manner, with threads of mana constantly emerging from it.

There were also dozens of sesame-sized, differently colored specks revolving around the Divine Orifice.

Chen Mu focused his spirit on a dark green speck, and a dark green mist suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

Within the mist, there were countless branching networks resembling human brain neurons or entangled tree roots—this was the True Meaning Talisman of the Plague Immortal Technique.

After examining it for a moment, he began to construct the talisman as he had done before.

The branching edges constantly converged and dispersed, slowly expanding and extending the entire misty network.

After some time, when the mana in the Jade Seed was filled again, Chen Mu stopped practicing the Plague Immortal Technique and started a new round of Jade Seed reconstruction.

He repeated this cycle several times, occasionally taking a break and ingesting Rejuvenation Pills to replenish his energy.

Time passed quietly, and before he knew it, the evening was approaching.

Chen Mu stretched and got up. While processing the remaining two Green Jade Snails, he checked the gray wall.

Jade Cicada Secret Scripture: Jade Cicada Secret Scripture: 2149/10000/Sixth Rank;

Plague Immortal Technique: 2/10000/Fourth Rank;

After more than twenty days, the Jade Cicada Secret Scripture had progressed steadily, and the Plague Immortal Technique had already entered a new realm.

…

At night, starlight shone brilliantly.

In Yangdu Square’s Jiwei Courtyard.

Chen Mu took out a piece of Green Jade Snail Meat that he had prepared in advance.

Urging the Plague Immortal Technique, Jade Cicada Qi permeated into the meat as if following his command, as he tried once again to remove the demon poison.

But after some time, the walnut-sized white meat showed no reaction. The distinctive rhythm of the demon poison was faint but never disappeared.

“Even the Fourth Rank Plague Immortal Technique doesn’t work?” Chen Mu scratched his head.

On reflection, it made sense.

Currently, the only thing that could handle the demon poison was the Nanming Li Fire, and this fire could only be controlled by the special Magic Artifact Heavenly Craft Furnace or a Primordial Spirit God.

This meant that the Mistaken Heavenly Demon Poison must be at the level of a Primordial Spirit God to be removed easily.

“I only have fourteen thousand white jade left, which won’t last long.” He furrowed his eyebrows.

“Must I reduce my cultivation speed?”

Daoist Foundation cultivation required mana, refining mana needed Earth Spirit Vital Energy and his own Spirit.

Previously, with the Inheriting Heaven Gourd, there was no need to buy elixirs for nourishing and strengthening; it only required supplying the Exquisite Jade Plate to produce Earth Spirit Vital Energy.

But just this alone had consumed six or seven-tenths of his savings.

In the future, more materials for Rejuvenation Pills would be needed, costing even more white jade and Daoist Cultivation points.

Processing more Green Jade Snails?

It wasn’t impossible, but he would need to find a way to have Steward Wu cover it up a bit.

Chen Mu squinted, deep in thought.

Hmm, the Nightmare Victory Spell?

Heh! That might work.

“If only I didn’t have to give Daoist cultivation points to Taoshan Temple as a commission.” He sighed and shook his head again.

If it wasn’t for the points being taken before he could even receive them, he would have dared to skip the commission.

Having practiced the Nine-Life Tribulation Splitting Technique to perfection, countless Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds bore his tribulation techniques, so he wasn’t afraid of the contract’s backlash anymore.

…

“Hu Buwei’s presence disappeared on Heavenly Gate Star, and the Daoist Cultivation points commission has been canceled?”

“Moreover, the 1,043 Daoist cultivation points given to the Hundred Illusion Sect over the past two months can be returned?!”

This…

Is this some kind of good fortune?!

At the entrance of Jiwei Courtyard in Yangdu Square, Chen Mu’s face was alight with joy as he looked at the bald, white-bearded elder who had come to deliver the news.

Though it might seem tactless, hearing that Hu Buwei had disappeared made him almost laugh out loud.

Just a few days ago, he was worrying about the Daoist Cultivation points commission, and now a huge turn of events had occurred.

The Hundred Illusion Sect was gone, leaving only Hu Buwei to receive the Daoist cultivation points commission. For the points to reach the Taoshan Temple, they had to pass through Hu Buwei.

Now that Hu Buwei had disappeared, the middleman was gone, and the points could no longer be taken away.

Even more surprising, the points gifted over the last two or three months could be returned.

“With these thousand-plus points, I can buy more materials and sustain my high-speed cultivation for another month.”

“This is…an unexpected delight.” Chen Mu’s expression was odd.

Thinking it over, he realized he should even thank Lu Shenjun for releasing the plague poison.

It’s really…

“What, you don’t like it? If you don’t like it, you don’t have to claim it.” The white-bearded elder looked at Chen Mu with envy.

He was also a Daoist Soldier, and he didn’t want his points taken either.

“No, I’m just sad for Elder Hu.”

“Elder Hu was such a good person, how could he be gone just like that?” Chen Mu bared his teeth, crying out in “grief”!

The bald elder: “…”

To have a Daoist soldier like you, Elder Hu must have been really unlucky!
