I am grinding experience in another world-Chapter 461 - 454 Mutation

A month flew by in the blink of an eye.

Inside Thousand Lanterns City, without sun or moon, Chen Mu adjusted the brightness of the Soul-Attracting Lamp, successfully simulating the rhythm of day and night.

But the light from the Soul-Attracting Lamp was, in the end, no sun, and not seeing it for a long time, he always felt something was amiss.

"Forget it, given the current conditions, safety comes first; sunbathing is not that important," Chen Mu sighed as he sat at the round stone table.

Immediately after, he picked up a piece of spicy-seasoned grilled meat and stuffed it into his mouth, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Delicious!"

Across from the round table, Shen Yan watched the black flames in mid-air with a complex expression. This was the Nine Nether Green Flames from the Nine Serenities Abyss, flames that could burn anything! And this guy was using it to grill meat?

"Any problem?" Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan held back for a while and eventually shook his head: "No problem!"

It’s like being a fish meat on someone else’s chopping board...

"Here, try these vegetables, you grew them, they taste really good," Chen Mu pushed a plate of green leafy vegetables across with a smile in his eyes.

Shen Yan wore a helpless expression.

Him, a distinguished Military Supervisor and a cultivator at the Divine Fetus Realm of Yin Spirits, had been reduced to growing vegetables for someone else?

Sigh... The taste is indeed quite good.

Shen Yan started to eat heartily.

Chen Mu watched in amazement.

The meat and vegetables on his table were all from the Yang Realm, yet this senior ghost of three hundred years was also relishing them. Yin Spirits are definitely not like the ghosts in folk tales.

Chen Mu shook his head and stopped thinking further, beginning to eat with gusto as well.

...

After the meal.

The Five Ghosts’ little paper figures clumsily controlled the black smoke to wash the dishes, while Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, holding a cup of Replenishing Origin Soup, watching with interest.

Over time, the Five Ghosts’ little paper figures had become increasingly spirited. In the past, when using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain to clean up leftovers, he had to participate actively in the control, but now they had learned to act on their own.

He had gained five diligent little followers for nothing.

Proud!

Chen Mu squinted and pulled out the gray wall.

Safe Heart Sutra: 4977/10000;

This month, whenever he had nothing to do, he would recite the Safe Heart Sutra, and the experience soared, with the progress already nearly half.

Now, when he stimulated it, he no longer needed to recite the entire scripture, but just a string of not very long syllables, and an invisible force would enter the Divine Orifice between his eyebrows and disappear. He would instantly shudder as if he had gulped down ice water in the midst of a hot day.

And then... there was no then.

After such a long time of practice, aside from feeling a vigorous vitality from the Divine Ghost Pattern, there were no other changes.

"How long does it usually take for a normal person’s Ghost Pattern Talisman Seed to reverse and track back its origins to cultivate into a Divine Fetus?" Chen Mu looked doubtfully at Shen Yan.

This guy didn’t set a trap for me in the Safe Heart Sutra, did he? After more than a month of practice, the Divine Ghost Pattern hadn’t changed at all. Why is cultivating the Divine Fetus even slower than gathering the Divine Orifice?

"Not too long," Shen Yan straightened his sleeves, his face indifferent, "Just about a hundred years or so."

Chen Mu: "..."

And that’s not considered long?

"Cultivating the Ghost Pattern into a Divine Fetus is indeed a process of grinding," he said.

"The ’Weak Water’ refined by the Safe Heart Sutra is more pure, producing a more perfect Divine Fetus, and consequently takes longer."

"All things considered, a hundred years or so is actually quite fast," Shen Yan said with an unconcerned face.

Chen Mu nodded, half-convinced.

"Will it be faster if I could master the Safe Heart Sutra?"

Shen Yan cast a glance at Chen Mu: "It will definitely be a bit faster."

But that’s on the condition that you can reach Perfection.

He sneered inwardly.

Is the Safe Heart Sutra a cabbage?

’Easy to learn, difficult to master’—those words were not said by me. They are the result of thousands of Yin Spirits’ cultivation experiences over thousands of years.

You still want to master it?

Hah!

...

Chen Mu saw through Shen Yan’s perfunctory attitude, but he didn’t explain.

Prejudices in people’s hearts are like a great mountain that, no matter how hard you try, you can’t move.

Grey wall, show me the experience bar! Let’s show these local natives just how much I can grind!

Days went by, and as the experience continuously increased, the curse words Chen Mu muttered grew shorter and shorter.

Shen Yan watched with wide eyes as Chen Mu made rapid progress and started to doubt his life.

Was the "Safe Heart Sutra" he originally cultivated a fake? It’s been just over a month, and this guy’s cultivation progress is almost catching up to his three years!

Can having talent mean you do whatever you want?

This isn’t nether-like at all!

He really wanted to ask Chen Mu for the reason but was too embarrassed to speak up; he could only watch as Chen Mu sped far ahead in his cultivation.

Chen Mu didn’t explain either, he just cultivated in front of the Military Supervisor, Shen Yan, every day.

Just seeing the other’s life-questioning face would make him happy for the entire day!

Haha!

...

On this day, while he was enjoying Shen Yan’s incredulous expression, a sudden disturbance at heart came unexpectedly.

Chen Mu snapped back to his senses, startled.

Shi Dechun triggered the Soul-Attracting Lamp?!

Without a moment’s hesitation, he activated the Divine Skills of Thousand Lanterns City.

Whoosh!

A black light flashed and expanded, and Shi Dechun’s figure appeared abruptly.

Before Chen Mu could ask, he immediately said, "This morning, during the march of the Yin Soldiers, the Soul Summoning Banner collapsed and fell, flinging the Yin Soldiers into a tornado of black smoke. They dropped like dumplings inside and outside the camp, crushing a large section of the Yi Three Banner’s barracks."

"The whole camp is on lockdown again, under martial law. It’s rumored that a water monkey launched a sneak attack to snatch the Soul Summoning Banner."

"I think this matter is very important, so..."

"Important, very important!" Shen Yan, who had been calm until now, suddenly became excited.

"You may not know this, but the Blood God Scripture is a very famous secret tome in Nether Demon Heaven, powerful but extremely dangerous."

"Nine out of ten cultivators who train in it will go mad and die, and the one who survives had to switch to a different secret technique early to escape the same fate."

"The Soul Summoning Banner going out of control is a sign of Lan Zhang’s weakening grip on it. Even if he doesn’t go mad, he definitely has a big problem."

"This is a golden opportunity to topple Lan Zhang!" Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu, his face full of anticipation.

Opportunity?

Chance my ass!

The real opportunity would be if Lan Zhang just dropped dead!

Chen Mu curled his lips in disdain.

This guy clearly never gave up the idea of toppling Lan Zhang, always stirring him up whenever there was a chance. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy

"You’d better shut up!" Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan.

Coward! Why are you so timid? Don’t you know that fortune favors the bold?!

Shen Yan’s face turned red with anger.

"I think..." Just as he was about to continue persuading, he saw Chen Mu squint at him.

"I think this could be a deliberate flaw exposed by Lan Zhang!" Shen Yan said seriously.

"This must be a trap; we definitely can’t fall for it!" he stated righteously.

Chen Mu disdainfully withdrew his gaze.

Heh! Coward!

He turned his head to Shi Dechun: "We need to find out exactly what happened, so I’ll need you to investigate further, but first and foremost, ensure your own safety."

Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan: "Whether Lan Zhang has gone mad or the Soul Summoning Banner is out of control, it’s a matter for those big shots, nothing to do with us."

"If the situation goes wrong, trigger the Soul-Attracting Lamp. Like today, I will immediately pull you into Thousand Lanterns City for refuge."

Shi Dechun nodded repeatedly, understanding the importance.
