My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 376 The Yellow Springs Pictorial Record
Time flies, the misty mountains are calm and peaceful, and March has passed in the blink of an eye.

Twenty meters underground in the Bamboo House, in a secluded room about the size of two bedrooms, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on a large, soft couch with his eyes closed.

Beside him was a low, square table, on which a fist-sized incense burner emitted wisps of blue smoke.

The top is inlaid with more than a dozen fist-sized jade spheres, inside which fluorescent algae flicker and glow with a warm light.

Seven potted sea pine trees were placed in the corner, their branches and leaves trembling slightly, as if breathing and purifying the air.

After a long while, a soft buzzing sound came from Chen Mu's body.

The invisible ripples spread outwards like water waves, instantly bending the vertical wisps of smoke.

Inside the jade, four layers of Yellow Springs magic symbols were tightly nested, and a hollowed-out sphere, silver with black undertones, was rotating randomly at the same time, yet amidst the chaos, there was a sense of orderly rhythm.

"It's done!"

Chen Mu looked at the gray wall in front of him with delight.

Yellow Springs General Outline: 32/10000/Fifth Order;

After traveling from Yuquan Mountain to Wuyan Mountain for seven or eight months, I finally completed the condensation of the fourth layer of the magic talisman.

The jade seed expanded to the size of three fists, and its total magical power increased again. The rainbow light that pierced the ground could also pull Chen Mu to fly to the height of a three-story building.

At the same time, there is a hidden opening on the back, almost opposite the navel.

“Hey, this Spirit Armor Technique…” Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

The Cloud Mirage Armor Technique on the gray wall still showed its limit.

But as he stared intently at the entry, a flood of insights immediately rushed into his mind.

This secret technique, which was obtained by chance, has quietly taken a big step forward.

"Is it related to the Yellow Springs General Principles, or is it influenced by the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains?"

"Won't I turn into a ghost?"

The Spirit Armor Technique is a heterodox path for those who reincarnate as celestial demons, aiming to cultivate the true form of a celestial demon, just like the White Pagoda Master who transformed into a black dragon.

"If only it could really turn into a black dragon, at least it would be imposing enough."

"But a cloud of black smoke howling like ghosts... that style looks like something sinister!" Chen Mu scratched his head.

His dream of becoming a dashing swordsman seems to be getting further and further away.

"Sigh... I'll keep practicing."

Whether it's the Yellow Springs General Principles or the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains, he can't possibly stop practicing them.

Moreover, the Spirit Armor Technique's ability to restrict Qi for hundreds of miles is enough to see through Qinglu's secret techniques!

Thinking this, an invisible force spread out, and an invisible and intangible hemisphere with a diameter of more than 400 meters immediately covered the area around the bamboo building.

"The area has expanded again? That's great!" Chen Mu's face lit up with joy.

The larger the range of the Qi Restriction is, the less afraid he is of Qinglu's Secret Technique.

He can detect the appearance of the opponent's clone immediately.

"No matter how skillful your secret techniques are, old man Qing, you can't escape my Qi restriction monitoring!"

……

He gloated for quite a while.

Chen Mu then brought up the gray wall and looked at it from top to bottom.

Having lived in this world for over ten years, I've unknowingly accumulated a long list of entries on the gray wall.

He read through them one by one.

Writing: 2162/10000/Fourth order;

Drawing: 1037/10000/Third order;

Cooking skill: 2640/10000/Level 6;

Pharmaceutical Arts: 6117/10000/Level 6;

"They learned these four skills quite early, but I wonder when they will reach their limit."

Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell: 8031/10000/Ninth Rank;

"Almost there? Not bad!"

Washing clothes, cooking, cleaning—the Five Ghosts Bag filled almost every corner of Chen Mu's life, accumulating day by day, bringing him close to the edge of upgrading once again.

Transformation Technique: 1696/10000/Tier 5;

"Yes, we have enough of what we need, so there's no rush to use it. We'll continue to accumulate more."

Planting: 6933/10000/Tier 3;

"This skill is probably doomed. Without making money by growing yellow sprout rice, it will be very difficult to improve it further."

Fire Cloud Spell: 3461/10000/Tier 3;

"It's a waste of talent for the Fire Cloud Gourd to be with me," Chen Mu shook his head.

Despite being an offensive magical artifact, Chen Mu used it most often for grilling meat!

Tsk!
Mastery: 4286/10000/Tier 2;

"Enough."

Listening Method: 3601/10000/Seventh Stage;

"accumulation."

Five Elements Qi Absorption Method: 1998/10000/Fourth Order;

Five Qi Hunyuan Method: 4316/10000/Third Order;

"No rush." ​​Yellow Springs General Principles: 32/10000/Fifth Tier;

"Yes, this is of utmost importance and cannot be neglected."

In times of instability, it's always good to have more power.

Ground-based steelmaking: 669/10000/Second-order;

"Enough is enough."

Giant Spirit God: 9466/10000/Tier 4;

"The ultimate weight loss technique is getting an upgrade? What a pleasant surprise!"

Seven-Turn Feast Mantra: 9913/10000;

"No wonder the efficiency of refining the Rejuvenation Soup is getting higher and higher; it's almost perfect."

"The incantation comes from culinary skills, and the Rejuvenation Soup she concocted is favored by Yin Soldiers. Could it be that it's specifically made for cooking for Yin Soldiers? Heh..."

Alchemy (Nourishing Essence Pill): 8266/10000;

"The success rate of the Peiyuan Pill is getting higher and higher, great!"

Small frost reduction method: 1015/10000/second stage;

“Keep accumulating.”

Looking down at the lines of skill applied to the limit below the gray wall, Chen Mu felt both proud and heartbroken.

He has shed countless drops of blood and sweat for these achievements.

Those dazzling achievements are the best affirmation of his past hard work and struggle.

A gray wall? That's just a record board!

"I owe everything I have today to myself! Yes!"

……

Eagle Cliff.

The once towering, steep cliffs, impassable even for eagles, were cut in half.

The once lush green mountains have turned gray and barren.

On the west side of the cliff, inside a remnant palace.

A few rays of sunlight pierced through the collapsed roof, and specks of dust floated silently in the light, appearing and disappearing.

At a certain moment, the dust suddenly stirred, accompanied by a rapid, low whistling sound, and a tall, thin figure suddenly appeared in the hall.

"Yang Huan, you actually dare to appear before me? Aren't you afraid I'll strike you with a bolt of lightning?" Sun Jian said coldly, staring at the shadowy corner of the dilapidated hall.

"Chop me up? Heh... You don't want the Yellow Springs Record anymore?" Yang Huan grinned, his face full of mockery.

"Even if I kill you, the catalog will still be mine!" Sun Jian extended his right hand from his wide sleeve, a wisp of lightning dancing between his fingers.

"Talking tough is useless. If you have the guts, go and confront the Thousand Machines Sect. Let's see if they'll give you the Yellow Springs Record." Yang Huan sneered, "Without the gourd sword box as a stepping stone, you won't even be able to get on the Thousand Machines Sect's Cloud Bat Flying Boat!"

Sun Jian's face immediately darkened.

Yang Huan chuckled softly, stepped out of the shadows in the corner, and arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

He looked at the desolate Eagle's Sorrow Cliff and clicked his tongue in amazement: "You Chicken Cage Sect are really ruthless. In order to set up a magic restriction, you actually destroyed a spiritual spring in the earth vein."

"Don't tell me you're barbarians from Dongling. If it weren't for your help, how could Wei Donglai have broken through Yingchou Mountain?"

"Besides, it's not a big secret that you exchanged the Five Qi Gathering Technique from the Thousand Machines Sect."

"Six mountains are too many, hindering the setting up of magical restrictions, so they destroyed one? These are all spiritual mountains that can nurture vital energy. Tsk tsk, what a waste of resources."

"Speak, what do you want me to do?" Sun Jian walked to Yang Huan's side and said calmly.

"Hehe, it's nothing, just helping to bury a few restrictions and destroy a few sacred mountains." Yang Huan grinned.

“What? Chongshan Road is gone, the White Pagoda is dead, and you still want to avenge him?” Sun Jian said with a sneer, “I really didn’t expect you to be such a loyal and righteous person.”

Yang Huan didn't care: "Loyalty? That stuff is nowhere near as valuable as the Dao Foundation Secret Technique."

Sun Jian fell silent immediately.

Yes, when faced with the path of self-cultivation, what is the value of personal feelings? Sects and families are not necessarily irreplaceable.

"I want to see the Yellow Springs Record first," Sun Jian said calmly, gazing into the distance.

Yang Huan immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of fine, white teeth.

……

After a long while, the dilapidated hall was silent.

Sun Jian stood alone at the door, looking at the desolate mountains in the distance with a gloomy expression.

"Who is behind Yang Huan? Remnants of the Chongshan Sect? Or several other Daoist sects in Yunzhou?"

"Damn it! If we hadn't lost the Spirit Treasure Gourd and Sword Box, how could we have been captured by that stray dog ​​Yang Huan... Hmm? The loss of the treasure gourd, could it be Yang Huan's doing?!"

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

"No wonder we couldn't find any clues, Yang Huan!"

It took Sun Jian a while to gradually regain his composure.

"Since Yang Huan dares to show himself, there's no point in even thinking about getting the gourd sword box back."

"Taoji Secret Technique..."

Sun Jian stared blankly at the bright yellow scroll in his right hand, but he quickly regained his composure and became resolute.

"Compared to the Dao, what is the Chicken Cage Road?"
