My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 444 Crazy

Two days later, late at night.

The Yanxing Division's Third Banner barracks had been expanded several times over to include a secret underground chamber.

呲......

Thick white fog surged and spread in all directions, and the white lanterns hanging high on the wall swayed left and right in the strong wind.

After a while, the white mist dissipated. Chen Mu switched to his true form, took out a soft couch, and lay down on it with a thud. The lingering memories of intense pain made him tremble uncontrollably.

He flipped his right hand, and a handful of jade dewdrops appeared. Trembling, he cast the Soul-Seizing and Essence-Returning Technique, and the warm essence flowed through him, finally calming his trembling body slightly.

After a long while, he felt a fullness in the secret acupoint between his eyebrows, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped using the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique.

“No wonder no one cares about the Flying Flame Scripture. Every time you practice it, it's like being tortured. Only a madman would like to practice it.” Chen Mu grinned.

Over the years, he had practiced countless secret techniques, but the Flying Flame Scripture had the worst experience for him. Fortunately, it provided enough experience, otherwise he wouldn't have worked so hard.

With a thought, the gray wall appeared, and he stared intently at one of the columns.

Yellow Springs Guide: 8593/10000; First Order;
"Wow, that's fast. In just one more day, Huang Quan Yin will enter a completely new stage." Chen Mu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The previously messy silver thread pattern on the palm of his right hand has now completely transformed into a smooth, hollow ring.

With the infusion of Yin spirit power, a ball of water from the River of Oblivion, the size of a human head, slowly appeared in the palm of the hand.

"Once I've accumulated enough experience to reach Tier 2, I should be able to summon a cauldron of water from the River of Oblivion."

"If I practice the Flying Flame Scripture a few more times to strengthen my foundation, it won't be long before I meet all the requirements to enter the Yellow Springs Department." Chen Mu was excited.

Upon seeing the white jade box on the soft couch, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "If the jade dew were consumed even less, that would be even better."

He cultivates both the Flying Flame Scripture and the Yellow Spring Guide simultaneously, and even the slightest damage will consume a large amount of his essence. Therefore, he has to use a large number of Jade Dew Pearls to consolidate his foundation and cultivate his essence.

The jade dewdrops in the white jade box were collected by him when he was in Jigu City. The box was originally full, but now it is only half full.

"Go to the Armaments Department to buy jade dewdrops?"

"It just doesn't feel like a good deal."

"Practice by myself?" He shook his head after a moment's thought.

"It takes too much effort and time."

"If I were to use Soul-Seizing Rejuvenation on the Water Apes..." Chen Mu's lips curled slightly, and images of the hordes of red-eyed water apes on the battlefield flashed through his mind.

"wonderful!"

……

The next day.

Accompanied by the muffled thunderous drumbeats, the Yin soldiers of the Hai character camp set out once again.

Chen Mu had expected this to be a long and fierce battle, but before noon, the ghost soldiers returned.

Battlefield by the Blood River.

The riverbanks were littered with the corpses of red-eyed water apes, and there were also many giant ghost soldiers with different appearances.

"I don't know who won or lost, I can't figure it out." Shi Dechun said with a puzzled expression, following Chen Mu.

"If you don't understand, don't look. Hurry up and move the water monkeys." Chen Mu waved his hand to shoo them away.

After saying that, he ran to a less crowded area and threw the water apes onto the Flame Chariot.

Once out of sight, Chen Mu vanished underground in a flash. After reverting to his true form, he hid underground, away from the surface.

He quietly activated his finger to turn the soil into steel, softening the earth, and with a yank, a three-to-five-meter-tall water ape disappeared into the ground in a flash.

The minor frost-reducing spell was used, and the warm water ape corpse rapidly cooled down, becoming covered in white frost in just a few breaths.

The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains technique was used, and the water ape, which had been frozen and preserved, was silently delivered into the Five Ghosts Bag.

"So what if I know who will win or lose? That's not something a little ghost like me can control."

"Instead of thinking so much, I'd rather focus on gaining experience from the Yellow Springs Guide."

"Once we're inside the Yellow Springs Department, it'll be safer to stay in the camp than to be out here every day."

……

Late night
Underground secret room.

Chen Mu's spirit body was burned to a crisp once more. He quickly switched back to his real body, pulling out a three-meter-tall, frost-covered, dead water ape. He took a deep breath and abruptly activated the Soul-Seizing Rejuvenation Technique.

The crimson light was drawn from the water ape's body, disappeared into its hands.

The robust water ape visibly withered, its rich essence flowing into the secret acupoint between its brows, and its damaged spirit body began to rapidly recover. Before long, a feeling of fullness emanated from the secret acupoint, and the tall water ape became as withered as skin and bones.

"It really works!" Chen Mu clenched his fist.

With a casual gesture, Chen Mu used the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain technique to devour the withered water ape and then looked into the space inside the Five Ghosts Bag.

Inside the empty bag, besides the original five-meter-high spherical wooden frame, there was also a small hill of water ape corpses, also five or six meters high.

A large oilcloth was laid beneath the corpse to prevent the water ape's body from touching the inner wall of the Five Ghost Bag. If it weren't for this barrier, the water apes might have been eaten by the Five Ghost Bag before he even had a chance to use them.

After resting for a while, Chen Mu took out the Forgetful River Stone to activate it, threw it into the white jade water vat to draw water from the Forgetful River, and then entered a cultivation state again.

Overnight, as the spirit's body repeatedly changed between injury and recovery, the Yellow Springs Guide's experience points soared.

At dawn, Chen Mu finished his last cultivation session, summoned the gray wall, and looked at one of the columns.

Yellow Springs Guide: 46/10000/Second Order;

With a thought, he channeled the power of the Yin Spirit into his right palm, and a basin-sized pool of water from the River of Oblivion slowly appeared before him.

"At this rate, I should be able to meet the first condition in no more than half a month." Chen Mu felt delighted.

Looking at his reflection in the water in front of him, he couldn't help but smile: "Maybe, the second condition won't be too far off then."

At this moment, the silver markings between his eyebrows had changed.

On the surface, it still looks like two twisted vertical lines, but when he touches it slightly with his Yin Spirit Divine Power, dense silver threads appear around the vertical lines.

These silvery filaments peek out from the edges of the vertical lines, drilling under the skin and spreading in all directions along the tiny blood vessels, just like countless fine roots growing from the vertical lines between the eyebrows.

"This supernatural demonic pattern has finally revealed itself."

"Although I don't know how long it will take to master it, it has already doubled my Yin Spirit power."

"In that case, the conditions for summoning the waters of the Ten Cauldrons River of Oblivion may soon be met."

"Double happiness!"

……

The central stone hall of the Hai character camp.

Lan Zhang, dressed in white, sat casually on the stone chair.

Strands of blood-red threads drifted out from behind him and flew towards the top of the stone hall.

The blood vessels converged and merged, transforming into a cloud of blood.

A water ape head, nearly the size of half a basketball court, suddenly burst out of the blood cloud and charged fiercely in front of Lan Zhang.

It opened its massive maw, filled with pale white fangs, and roared as it viciously bit at Lan Zhang, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

The gigantic maw was inches away, and Lan Zhang's long, casually draped black hair was blown backward, but his expression remained unchanged.

He lightly tapped the stone chair armrest with his right index finger, and countless blood streaks flew out from the blood cloud, instantly imprisoning the huge head firmly in front of him.

At this moment, the enormous head floated motionless in mid-air, its eyes, larger than Lan Zhang's entire body, staring intently at him.

"Little monkey, behave yourself." Lan Zhang chuckled.

"It is your blessing to become a part of me."

"Only by following me will you have the opportunity to see a wider world."

The next moment, the crimson threads suddenly taut, and the enormous water ape head struggled unwillingly, but was ultimately pulled into the blood cloud and disappeared without any resistance.

"You've already trained it into a Blood God Child, so why don't you erase its consciousness?" Countless eyes suddenly appeared in the shadows, and the overlapping, clear childlike voices were full of doubt: "Aren't you afraid of going crazy?"

“Blind Boy, you may not know, but I have a particular fondness for lively gatherings,” Lan Zhang said earnestly.

The blind boy's numerous eyes all paused in surprise.

No one is allowed to approach within 300 meters of the stone hall. You stay alone in the empty stone hall every day without saying a word. And you still like liveliness?
What a joke!
"You have no idea how wonderful it feels to have someone talking to you in your head!" Lan Zhang grinned, his smile even showing through his fine teeth.

The blind boy's heart skipped a beat.

Is this guy a lunatic to begin with?
"Ah, a little monkey is a bit too monotonous."

"When I've memorized the entire Hai-character camp, that'll be the real excitement!" Lan Zhang's voice trembled, every muscle in his body leaping with excitement.

Then he suddenly turned his head, met the countless eyes in the shadows, and earnestly invited, "No Eyes, please be sure to come and join the fun!"

Eyeless: "..."

Hey!
He really is a madman!
