My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 282 Spirit Nourishing Curse

"It's alright, it's alright, it should be fine."

"Supervisor Song won't stand idly by." Old Hao drank some herbal tea, calming himself down slightly. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Chen Mu stuck a rice stalk into the yellow gourd and sipped his calming tea.

"When did you prepare this cellar?" Old Hao, finally calming down, looked at Chen Mu suspiciously. "Did you know there was danger all along?"

"I do not know."

“But I know it’s better to be prepared.” Chen Mu shrugged.

From Daliang to Pengyue Mountain.

He's dug countless cellars like this. He's even gained experience from them.

"It would be interesting if they dug out an entry on the gray wall later," Chen Mu said, shaking his head and chuckling.

"I don't know how long it will take to calm down." Old Hao sighed, finally calming down.

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, what are you afraid of?" Chen Mu didn't seem to care much.

Song Wuji was ultimately a master of the Qi Condensation Realm, and the hordes of strange beasts would only cause him a little trouble.

But the hunting party is going to be in trouble.

"Wait, then."

……

Half a day later.

A patch of emerald green clouds rose from the direction of Pengyue Mountain.

First, drive away the swarms of poisonous insects and birds from the sky.

Then, as if copied and pasted, the swarm of insects multiplied from one group to two, swarming down on the ground and wreaking havoc on the alien beasts.

Chen Mu didn't rush to leave. He obediently hid underground.

During this time, some strange beasts with keen senses of smell tried to pry open the cave entrance.

Chen Mu used his Qi Restriction to imprison it for a hundred miles, and then used the Five Ghosts Yin Souls to devour it, turning it into nourishment for the Five Ghosts Bag.

After waiting underground for three days, until Pengyue Mountain began to organize people to clean up the mess left by the rampaging beasts, Chen Mu finally led Old Hao out of the ground.

……

half a month later.

On the wooden porch in front of Chen Mu's house in Yiyou District.

"What a bad year. Why is there so much misfortune in our Chicken Cage Road?" Shang Huan sighed as he put one foot on a long bench and gnawed on the wing of an unknown bird.

"This attack has resulted in hundreds more deaths and injuries."

"Dozens of the squad leaders in the Inspection Bureau and the General Affairs Bureau who had mastered the spiritual light technique have died!"

"I heard that five or six people at the Breaking Illusion Realm died in the same place."

Chen Mu even paused involuntarily while chewing the vegetables.

Several cultivators at the Breaking Illusion level have died? It's that dangerous?!
I can't believe I was so calm and collected in the cellar back then. This was practically a stroll through the gates of hell!

"Even with such a high level of cultivation, something still happened?" Chen Mu asked incredulously.

"You wouldn't know that, would you?" Shang Huan chuckled.

"I heard that a powerful demon with awakened consciousness is hiding in this beast tide." Before Shang Huan could keep him in suspense, Old Hao told Chen Mu directly.

"A great demon comparable to the Song Dynasty's Abbot, who had reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm?" Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

“It’s that kind of powerful demon!” Shang Huan interjected, then raised an eyebrow mysteriously: “Do you know where it comes from?”

"It's said to be the Cold Moon Toad from Cold Moon Pool," Old Hao said to Chen Mu with a solemn expression.

"Can't you just stop interrupting me?" Shang Huan said angrily.

Without even glancing at Shang Huan, Old Hao carefully recounted the information he knew to Chen Mu: "It is said that when they first arrived, Supervisor Song and Leng Yuechan fought each other and were both severely injured."

"At the time, we could only drive them away, not kill them."

"The Cold Moon Toad has returned this time to seek revenge and also to reclaim the Cold Moon Pool."

Chen Mu frowned involuntarily.

"Someone went to the Chuanjing Academy and looked through the records," Old Hao continued, "and said that this kind of Cold Moon Toad has the ability to transform and become invisible."

"Everyone guessed that he drove away the gathered beasts and then used a secret method to make the beast horde invisible, which is why he unknowingly rushed to the front of the hunting party's defense line."

Chen Mu gasped.

That giant toad is incredibly cunning!

"What happened? Did Supervisor Song kill that giant toad?" Chen Mu asked quickly.

It's extremely dangerous to have something eyeing Pengyue Mountain so covetously.

“Previously, Supervisor Song was injured and hadn’t recovered, so it escaped. This time, we should be able to kill that giant toad,” said Old Hao.

"That's hard to say." Shang Huan shook his head: "After all, no one has seen the corpse of the Cold Moon Toad."

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat: "The lower house has no explanation?"

"I haven't heard anything about it." Shang Huan shook his head.

"The Inspection Bureau is busy cleaning up the battlefield. The General Affairs Bureau is busy comforting the dead and wounded disciples. For more than half a month, the entire Lower Academy has been in chaos. I guess they haven't had time," Old Hao guessed. Chen Mu remained noncommittal.

Rumors are rampant and opinions are varied, but the House of Commons has not given a clear answer.

This makes me a little uneasy.

……

Three days later, in the underground chamber.

A door has appeared on the stone wall on the right.

Chen Mu jumped into the secret room, holding a fist-sized fluorescent algae lamp in his right hand, and walked into the doorway on the right.

A downward-sloping, spiraling channel appears.

Following the passage, Chen Mu arrived at a position five or six meters below the secret chamber.

Another underground space, about ten square meters in size, similar to a typical living room, has appeared.

“The total depth is only fifteen meters, which is not enough.” Chen Mu silently calculated the height of the hillside where the wooden house was located.

He planned to continue digging deeper into the underground chambers, to find a tunnel that would allow him to leave Pengyue Mountain from underground.

"Even the Flying Kite isn't very useful against flying beasts," Chen Mu said helplessly.

Before the beast attack, the sky was full of poisonous insects and birds.

While you might encounter strange beasts underground, the chances are definitely lower than on the surface.

Chen Mu wasn't in a hurry; he just took some time each day to dig a little bit.

With three experts at the Qi Condensation Realm in charge of the lower courtyard, it's generally quite safe.

"It's better to be prepared." Chen Mu shrugged.

Black smoke billowed onto the right wall, rapidly eroding and shifting inward, quickly forming an arched passage wide enough for two people.

……

After the empty space inside the Five Ghosts Bag is filled with soil.

Chen Mu then left the underground area and rushed into the first secret room.

Sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, Chen Mu took out the "Unexpected Twist" card.

He should have focused on leveling up the Fire Cloud Curse and the Three Yin Demon Slaying Technique to their maximum level.

But...

"This magical artifact is so cool!"

With sharp attacks and formidable defenses, one was pitch black and the other deathly pale, their appearances were eerie, comparable to the Five Ghost Bags, which perfectly suited his aesthetic.

"Let's practice this first!"

"We have a cheat code. We're not afraid of getting distracted!"

The magic power drilled into the Yuanfu, flowing down the palm into the white bone ball and the black moon blade.

Then a force returned from the unexpected turn of events and was transmitted to the mind.

Inside the jade seed, magical smoke drifted gently and slowly coalesced.

A loose, unfamiliar rune slowly emerged.

As Chen Mu maintained his mana output, the magic runes became increasingly clear and visible.

This unexpected turn of events is unlike any of his previous magical artifacts; it inherently possesses the properties of a jade tablet.

The incantation to activate the ritual implement is contained within the implement itself; it will manifest as soon as magical power is infused into it.

After a long while, Chen Mu stopped.

The talisman loosened again, and the silver threads and star-like dots at the edges slowly collapsed, leaving only a thread with two star-like dots at the core.

Watching the silk thread sway gently, almost disintegrating, but ultimately not disintegrating, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

A new entry has appeared on the gray wall.

Spirit Nourishing Spell: 12/10000/Tier 1;
"It's done!"

"However, nurturing spirits? What does that mean?" Chen Mu thought for a moment and then stopped worrying about it.

Once he increases his proficiency, he'll know everything he needs to know.

"Since it's done, hehe..."

He immediately focused his mind, and the star-like threads drilled into the black sphere symbol.

hum!
A flash of white light appeared, and a seemingly real yet illusory skeletal sphere suddenly blocked his way.

Raise your right hand.

bass!
The jet-black moon blade immediately began to spin around him.

A strange pulling force wrapped around my palm, as if I were holding a whip.

With a slight flick of his right hand, the moon blade, like a whip sheath, sliced ​​through the air with a boom, easily piercing the opposite stone wall and disappearing from sight.

With a flick of his wrist, the moon blade returned to his side once more.

After commanding the Moonblade to fly around the secret chamber for a while, Chen Mu withdrew his magic and held the bone ball and Moonblade in front of him.

"Good baby!"
