My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 539 Unusual Movement
In Dongfengfang, west of Luandu County, in front of the dog shed in the backyard of Qixia Tea House.

Chen Mu's figure suddenly appeared, and the large black dog, which had just given birth to puppies not long ago, immediately stood up and bared its teeth.

But as soon as it opened its mouth, a strange force that could restrict movement for hundreds of miles appeared, and the black-haired dog froze in mid-air like a mosquito trapped in amber, unable to move.

A spirit seed appeared at Chen Mu's fingertip. With a flick of his index finger, the spirit seed easily slid down the dog's esophagus into its stomach.

After a while, feeling the stillness of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed inside the big dog's belly, Chen Mu's expression turned grim.

"Isn't it true?"

Then, not giving up, it stuffed it into the mouth of a puppy whose eyes hadn't even opened yet.

After a while, Chen Mu, with a sour face, summoned the spirit seed again, left behind a large piece of bone and meat, and turned to disappear.

……

In Fengbaofang, north of the city, there is a two-courtyard building.

A new life was born amidst a loud cry.

The invisible net-like restriction of the City God's Taoist temple was triggered, and a black dot that looked like dust appeared in mid-air.

They sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, and sometimes they even form a wing-like shape and slowly flap, then drift with the breeze towards the newborn's nostrils.

In the corner of the courtyard, Chen Mu's figure appeared. He stared at the invisible black dot, his face expressionless.

Those were the original Yinming insects. As long as they were given enough of the Three Treasures Essence, they would grow into Yinming silk.

If it regenerates, it will transform into a long, white, serpentine insect with a human head on its head.

Looking through the doorway at the newborn baby who had not yet been parasitized by the Yinming Worm, a Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu.

But even after a long while, until the Yinming Worm had silently completed its parasitic infestation, he still did not take any action.

"It's unnecessary..."

"Even if we try to implant it into an infant's body, it will probably fail just like the previous experiments." Chen Mu sighed and shook his head slightly, putting away the spirit seed.

For the past month, he had been trying to implant the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into his physical body, but all attempts ended in failure.

So he began conducting experiments in Luandu County.

First, it targeted livestock such as chickens, ducks, cats, rabbits, pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep, and later it began to target people of all ages, including men, women, and children.

He tested almost every living being except for newborn babies, but still failed to succeed with any of them.

When a spiritual seed enters the body, it's like water and stone—two completely different things, from two entirely different worlds, and they can't be compatible.

When the spirit seed was planted in the spirit before, it was like a drop of water entering the ocean; as long as the spirit's outer defenses were broken, the spirit seed could immediately merge into the spirit's body. But now, it's completely impossible.

"It's not because the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed is fragile, but because this spirit seed is selective about who it parasitizes!"

"The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed comes from the Heavenly Demon Body. The Heavenly Demon Body is a Yin Spirit, so it can only parasitize Yin Spirits?" Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a pain in his teeth.

More than half a month of wasted effort!

What a clumsy celestial cloud mirage!
……

Nighttime, the Divine Image Cave.

The images on the water screen in front of the gate change, showing bustling city scenes, tranquil countryside, lights of thousands of homes, and an endless starry sky, covering all parts of Luandu County.

Lying in the rocking chair, Chen Mu had no interest in watching; his eyes were fixed blankly on the sky.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh and came to his senses.

"The City God's temple is the foundation of the underworld and has existed for thousands of years."

"It is truly impossible to find a flaw and completely break free from constraints in just a few months."

"Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it," Chen Mu said, forcing a helpless smile.

Such is reality; overthinking it will only add to your troubles, so it's better to accept it calmly.

From another perspective, while the Divine Statue Cave may have indeed trapped itself, it was isolated from the outside world, preventing outsiders from entering. Furthermore, the powerful Li Buxian was stationed outside, ensuring absolute safety.

If someone were to actually venture out into the Great Qian Dynasty, given the style of the Lock Dragon Academy, it would be almost impossible for them to settle down in one place.

“For the past ten years or so, I’ve always hoped for a stable environment where I could gain experience. Now that I’m trapped, my old wish has been fulfilled in a roundabout way.” He crossed his legs and put them on the square coffee table in front of him, rocking back and forth in a rocking chair.

Just as I was pondering how to maintain my daily routine and cultivate myself in the future, I caught a glimpse of an interesting scene out of the corner of my eye in the water curtain.

Inside the Qiluo Mountain City God Temple, a tall, thin man dressed in black scaled the wall and, with lightning speed, darted into Luandu County. "Li Buxian?"

"In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, this old man sneaked off to Luandu County?" Chen Mu's expression turned solemn.

"Could it be..."

"Could it be that old Deng is going to visit a brothel?"

"what!"

Chen Mu became interested and immediately adjusted the old man's image to the center of the water screen.

……

In Futang Lane, north of the city, there is a small courtyard with five rooms in one entrance.

On the bed in the bedroom on the east side of the main hall, lay an elderly man with a pale face, barely alive, surrounded by his children and grandchildren listening to his last words.

Outside the room, Li Buxian's figure suddenly appeared.

He glanced at the big yellow dog standing up in the corner, then unleashed a burst of power that instantly knocked the dog unconscious. He then leaped onto the roof with a light tap of his toes.

He untied the forearm-length black gourd that was tied around his waist, removed the stopper, and placed it at his feet. Then he sat cross-legged on the roof ridge without uttering a word.

After a while, a heart-wrenching cry came from inside the room. The white-haired old man inside had finally passed away.

The black gourd beside Li Buxian silently underwent a dramatic change. Under the bright moonlight, strands of silver patterns, like forked lightning, covered the surface of the gourd.

hum!
An invisible force spread from the open mouth of the gourd, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard.

Below, a black light invisible to ordinary people slowly flew out of the room, just like a flying insect entering a spider web, and was immediately detected by the omnipresent power of the City God's Taoist temple in Luandu County.

A vast, chilling aura suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and the dark figure that had just flown out of the window froze in place, turning into a wisp of humanoid black smoke with constantly churning edges.

As if drawn and summoned by some force, the humanoid black smoke cloud floating in mid-air landed, and then seemed to sink into the quicksand ground, slowly sank.

However, the black smoke figure only sank to its calves before being suddenly dragged out by some invisible force. It turned in mid-air, drew an arc, and whooshed into the black gourd next to Li Buxian.

Boom!
A soft sound, like a pebble falling into a pool.

Li Buxian, who had been on high alert for a long time, immediately sealed the mouth of the black gourd.

Feeling the icy, bone-chilling black gourd quickly condense water droplets, Li Buxian revealed a satisfied smile.

"How dare they try to steal souls from the Netherworld?!"

"In front of me, a living god?"

"Ha!" Chen Mu, who had been squatting beside him and staring at the black gourd the whole time, immediately revealed a meaningful smile.

Ever since being startled by Li Buxian last time, Chen Mu had been keeping an eye on Li Buxian's whereabouts. Seeing him suddenly move tonight, he couldn't help but release his divine sense projection to track him.

really!

"I was wondering why such a master would willingly stay in a small county town."

Watching Li Buxian's figure flicker and silently disappear into the dark night, Chen Mu chuckled and followed closely behind.

……

Inside the City God Temple, almost immediately after Chen Mu followed Li Buxian back to the small courtyard on the east side.

Then we saw Old Man Li throw the black gourd directly into the Dragon-Locking Well.

"Is this the end?"

Chen Mu watched in surprise as Li Buxian returned to his room, scratching his head in bewilderment.

Everyone in Luandu County was infected with Yinming Worms. After death, the Yinming Worms within their bodies would transform into Yin spirits through the cycle of life and death.

He had observed this several times before; each time a wandering spirit appeared, the inescapable net of restrictions at the City God's temple would be activated, drawing in the power of the River of Oblivion and dragging the spirit towards the underworld. The immense, chilling aura that had just appeared in that courtyard was a projection of the River of Oblivion.

The old man Li Buxian stayed up late at night and went to the house of the dying man to wait. After snatching the soul with the black gourd, he simply threw it into the Dragon-Locking Well.

"Or is this just a preliminary step in some kind of operation?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

He glanced at Li Buxian's back, then at the Locked Dragon Well, and curled the corners of his mouth into a malicious smile.
