My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 494 Yin Wind Escape

the next day.

Lü Liang personally visited him, bringing with him a secret technique and information about a living god.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and seeing the other party off, Chen Mu returned to the stone table in the courtyard and picked up a white jade gourd to examine it.

The jade gourd was about the size of a palm, with the three ancient golden characters "Yin Feng Dun" etched on it. When it was shaken slightly, the Soul-Separating Soup inside made a sound of liquid colliding.

"The escape technique is excellent." Chen Mu was quite satisfied.

Currently, his fastest escape technique is the Rainbow Light Across the Earth, but that thing consumes too much mana. With his white jade coins scarce and mana extremely precious, he dares not use it recklessly.

The Heavenly Demon True Form's Five Elements Escape Technique allows it to enter the five elements, excelling in flexibility and versatility, but its speed is not outstanding. The Yin Wind Escape Technique is different; according to Lü Liang, its strength lies in extremely fast flight.

Moreover, it uses the power of Yin spirits, which can be restored and is not afraid of being exhausted.

"What a wonderful secret technique!"

He switched to his true form as a bald-headed celestial demon, uncorked the jade gourd, and gulped it down in one go.

It's like drinking a glass of ice water on a hot summer day; a cool stream flows down your throat and into your stomach, then quickly turns from cold to warm and flows throughout your body.

In a short while, my whole body felt warm and cozy, as if I were taking a hot bath.

Before Chen Mu could even close his eyes and enjoy it, a sharp, stabbing pain suddenly shot through his lower back.

The pain came and went quickly, disappearing almost as soon as Chen Mu reached out to touch his lower back, as if it were an illusion.

Chen Mu pulled open the back of his shirt, his neck like a rubber hose, easily turning his head 180 degrees backward. Looking down slightly, he saw a palm-sized patch of tangled silver threads on his lower back, right above his navel.

At the same time, countless insights flooded his mind, and when he looked at it suddenly, he felt as if he had seen it before.

Upon closer examination, he immediately realized that some of the content had appeared in the Secret Techniques of the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, specifically the Yin Wind Fire Bell Secret Method. He had also experienced other parts of it before, using the Five Ghosts Netherflame Escape Technique.

"They all seem to be manifestations of some kind of primal ability of the ghosts."

"But clearly, the latter two are only partially used, while Yin Wind Escape is more focused and extreme."

With a thought, the true form of the celestial demon, resembling a bald-headed figure, appeared.

After taking his physical body into the protection of Thousand Lanterns City, black mist appeared around Bald Chen Mu.

The next moment, he shot into the sky like a rocket, accompanied by a strange whistling sound, and disappeared into the gray clouds in the blink of an eye.

Then it made a turn, using the clouds and mist as cover to fly away at full speed. In the blink of an eye, the massive city of Feng'an was left far behind.

Feeling the biting cold wind rushing towards him, and experiencing how he was already almost as fast as the Skyward Rainbow Light despite only being a beginner, Chen Mu was excited and couldn't help but shout out, revealing a big smile.

He flew around Feng'an City for more than half an hour, gaining a basic understanding of the Yin Wind Escape technique, before reluctantly returning to Feng'an City and landing in the small courtyard of Ningyunfang.

Light and shadow flickered before my eyes, and a gray wall appeared, with a brand new column added to it as always.

Yin Wind Escape: 139/10000/Second Tier;

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

This Yin Wind Escape Technique is indeed related to the Yin Wind Fire Bell and the Five Ghosts Escape Technique; otherwise, it wouldn't have entered the second stage so quickly after learning it.

"Once I gain a few more experience points, surpassing the current stage of the Rainbow Light Realm will be a piece of cake." Chen Mu felt an indescribable sense of joy.

Running fast is good; running fast increases your chances of survival.

Unfortunately, every time it flies away, it's like a rocket, making a huge commotion and not very visually appealing.

"My ethereal and otherworldly art style, when will you finally appear?" Chen Mu lamented inwardly.

After pondering for a while, he picked up another item that Lü Liang had brought to examine.

It was a brown wooden box about the length of a forearm, inside which was a palm-sized jade tablet engraved with strange silver characters that made one dizzy at first glance.

Jiewen?

It’s been a long time no see.

Chen Mu was quite familiar with this; he had seen this kind of writing many times before at the Chicken Cage Scripture Transmission Academy. It was mostly used in important texts for Qi Refiners. On the surface, it appeared to be just text, but the scenes recorded within were vividly depicted, often giving the reader a sense of being there. A single word or two could contain a wealth of information, and it was often used to record complex and intricate data or information that needed to be clearly expressed.

"It seems that the matter of this City God's Taoist temple is not simple."

"That makes sense. After all, Yinshan Prefecture has a history of over six thousand years. It would be abnormal if it were too simple."

After thinking it over, he took a deep breath and immersed himself in a large amount of information.

……

There is a large, hidden space beneath the East Garden of the City Lord's Mansion in Feng'an City.

It is tens of meters high, and its length and width are so great that they cannot be seen at a glance. It is larger than a bustling town, and it has obviously been expanded using a method similar to miniaturizing a thousand miles of courtyard.

On this day, huge gray boulders, each as tall as a person, were secretly transported into the space and piled up in the middle like a small mountain.

The stones all come from the depths of the River of Oblivion, and they constantly emit a chilling aura. If you stay nearby for too long, you will feel your whole body stiffen, as if you are about to freeze to death.

Lü Liang looked at the Forgotten River Stones with a solemn expression: "Thirteenth Uncle, does nobody know about this?"

Lu Shisan shook his head: "We're using the same group of people who went to Qingyang City last time, so they're safe."

Lü Liang understood that all those people had been implanted with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, effectively making them his own people, and they were definitely safe.

"Are you sure you don't need to tell the city lord?" Lu Shisan asked hesitantly.

"I've been studying the Jade Gate Spell these past few days. I have a feeling that I might actually be able to escape the Gates of Hell this time." Lü Liang's expression grew increasingly solemn as he browsed the information transmitted from the stars in his mind.

“Some people around Father are unreliable. If Father gets involved in advance, it may attract the attention of Qingyang City.”

"Once I master the Ghost Gate Technique, I can have my father lead people directly to the Outer Heavens."

Lu Shisan nodded: "Very well, the deed is done. The city lord has gone to the Outer Heaven. Even if someone tries to tip him off then, it will be too late."

“These days I still need Uncle Thirteen to cover for me,” Lü Liang said earnestly.

"Don't worry, young master." Lu Shisan nodded solemnly: "It just so happens that you exchanged a Five Dragons Scripture from Qingyang City last time. You can tell everyone that you are in seclusion researching a new secret technique, which is perfectly reasonable. I am also openly collecting some medicinal herbs to aid cultivation. No outsider will find anything suspicious."

Lü Liang nodded, took a deep breath, and his Yin Spirit power surged.

boom!
On the mountain-like Forget-the-River Stone, black Netherworld Flames suddenly ignited. The insights accompanying the Jade Gate Mantra flowed through Lü Liang's mind. Carefully manipulating the flames, he refined the Forget-the-River Stone, beginning the forging of the Gates of Hell.

……

Ningyunfang Courtyard.

Beneath the burdock tree, beside the square stone table, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair.

A jade plaque etched with intricate silver patterns floated before his eyes, and Chen Mu squinted, gazing at it intently.

These past few days, he has been immersed in the information recorded on the jade tablet, and has even skipped several nights of sleepless nights.

After a long while, Chen Mu opened his eyes thoughtfully inside the wooden box on the jade plate flying ash stone table.

He finally gained a general understanding of the so-called City God Temple.

According to the jade tablet, the City God's Taoist temple is a reception point set up by the underworld in the human world, mainly to guide the spirits of the dead away from the mortal world and prevent them from causing trouble.

Temples and shrines within the secular traditional sacrificial system, such as City God Temples and Earth God Temples, are the strongholds of the City God's rituals. The earthly deities are the key to these rituals.

As long as a spirit enters a temple or shrine and becomes a living deity in a special way, a sacred space covering a certain area will be created.

Within its sphere of influence, any spirit that arises will be drawn into the River of Oblivion. Furthermore, the dojo possesses a unique power; prolonged bathing in it can make one physically strong and robust, and has even given rise to a secret martial art for cultivating qi, blood, and physique, which is quite wondrous.

"Yunzhou also has folk sacrificial rites, but I've never heard of any City God temples or ceremonies." Chen Mu tried hard to recall relevant information about Yunzhou, but he couldn't connect it with the contents recorded in the jade tablet no matter what he tried.

Is it because of the different regions?

The City God's Taoist temples established by Yinming Yinshan Prefecture are all in Kangzhou. Yunzhou is different because it is too far away from Kangzhou.

"The more I look at it, the more confused I get," Chen Mu couldn't help but frown and shake his head.
