My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 544 Parasite
"This scripture sounds familiar."

Inside the City God Temple, Chen Mu listened to Li Buxian chanting scriptures and couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Why does it sound so much like my Eastern Longevity Scripture?"

This is... the Heavenly Demon Curse?

Are there other cloud-mirage demons spreading the seeds of celestial demons?

what!
Chen Mu was amused.

Li Buxian, that old fellow, is clearly a temple priest of the City God, but he goes to worship other demon gods instead.

The problem is, you worship the wrong kind of demon, the Heavenly Demon Cloud Mirage.

“The City God you worshipped before had the body of a cloud-mirage demon, but after the change, you're still worshipping the cloud-mirage demon. You've just wasted your time.”

"Ha ha!"

Moreover, Chen Mu had previously tested it and found that the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed could only parasitize Yin spirits; it couldn't even parasitize a puppy, let alone a living person. Even if Li Buxian managed to attract the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, he was destined to fail.

Or are they going to change their allegiance?
Ah……

"The celestial demon cloud mirage behind this Crescent Moon Sutra is quite audacious, spreading the Heavenly Demon Curse so widely. Isn't it afraid of being besieged?"

Chen Mu glanced at Li Buxian, who was earnestly reciting scriptures, then ignored him and turned to look at the Locked Dragon Well.

His divine projection this time was to see if the Locked Dragon Well was any different.

With a moment's concentration, Chen Mu squinted as he was dazzled by the intense golden light before him.

A golden stream of energy, like an inverted Milky Way, descended from the sky and fell straight into the Dragon Locking Well.

Looking upwards following the golden currents, a vast expanse of golden clouds covering the entire Qiluo Mountain came into view.

The incense and vital energy inside surged, centered on the energy column of the Dragon Locking Well, and poured into the Dragon Locking Well as it rotated.

"No wonder there's a bottomless pool inside the Dragon Locking Well!"

Since advancing through the Lingbao Pivot Chapter and discovering the underground meridian nodes, he has never left the Divine Statue Cave Heaven. He had previously seen the incense and spiritual energy gathering at Qiluo Mountain, but he didn't know that all of this energy had been collected into the bottomless pool within the Dragon Locking Well.

"Moreover, the cloud of incense and spiritual energy gathered today is much larger than the one we saw a few days ago!"

Is it because the power of the Qiluo Mountain City God Temple extends to three counties?

Therefore, the incense offerings and vital energy that gather here increase day by day.
“The increased power of the Taoist temple and the gathering of more incense and spiritual energy have affected the Divine Statue Grotto. This is probably the root cause of the changes in the Jade Dew Well,” Chen Mu suddenly realized.

"Is the brewing of millet wine also related to the incense and vital energy?" He suddenly had a thought.

Previously, his level in the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter was too low to see the incense and vital energy, so he only thought that the Yellow Millet Wine was refined by the Bottomless Pool. Now that he knows that the Locking Dragon Well is a place where incense and vital energy gather, the Yellow Millet Wine, which must be brewed through the Locking Dragon Well, must be related to incense and vital energy.

With a thought in mind, he crawled into the Dragon Locking Well.

Looking down, one can see wisps of pale golden energy being drawn into the gourd by the silver patterns on its surface.

really!

"With the increase in the incense offerings and vital energy, the process of refining millet wine will probably also change, just like the Jade Dew Well."

"If the failure rate increases, that's fine, but if the success rate increases, wouldn't that indirectly help Li Buxian?" Chen Mu couldn't help but purse his lips.

That old man might not appreciate it; he's probably thinking of switching allegiances and finding a new patron right now.

If he weren't afraid of attracting trouble, he would have thrown all the millet gourds into the shrine of the deity.

"Humph!"

"That old man got off easy."

……

For the next two weeks, Chen Mu continued his cultivation as usual, focusing primarily on the Spirit Treasure Key Chapter.

Although he was somewhat unhappy about enhancing the power of the dojo, he had no choice but to practice it because it would thicken the origin of his Heavenly Demon Body, increase his teleportation distance, and allow him to understand the dojo's restrictions in more detail.

He then allocated the remaining time to Kui Shui Yin Lei and Ju Ling Shen.

Since the cave was safe and the earth's spiritual energy was abundant, he should have started to refine his river chakra.

This is the fourth stage of Qi Refining, following Jade Seed, Gathering Yuan Talisman, and Concentrating Spirit Aperture.

However, he lacked the relevant lineage and had to put it aside for the time being. "To obtain the River Chariot Secret Technique, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Haizhou to find the Chicken Cage Path." Chen Mu pondered, "Hmm, we could also go to the Goose and Sheep Paths and the Four Paths of No Destiny outside of the Great Qian."

"Many Qi cultivators who escaped from the Great Qian Dynasty gathered in the Ten Thousand Mountains; perhaps we can find them there as well."

"There's probably little hope for any surviving Qi Refiners within the Great Qian Dynasty, but if we just want to know the general situation, we should still be able to find out."

"The ideas are all good, but all of this is based on the premise that I can completely break away from the City God's temple." Thinking about this, Chen Mu felt a little confused.

Over the past two years, he has tried different methods, including the Heart-to-Heart Mantra, the Heavenly Demon Mantra, and the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Chapter, but the results have not been ideal.

"The future looks bleak..."

Just as I was feeling down, the sound of chanting sutras reached my ears.

When Chen Mu walked to the gate, he saw Li Buxian still chanting sutras on the water screen, and his bad mood was immediately dispelled.

For the past ten days or so, this old fellow hasn't even practiced the Yellow Millet Wine much; he's been spending all his time chanting the Crescent Moon Sutra, which contains the Heavenly Demon Curse.

At first, Chen Mu was a little uneasy, both curious and wary of another being similar to the Heavenly Demon Cloud Mirage. He would check on Li Buxian through the water curtain from time to time every day.

But as the days went by, not a single Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed appeared in the entire Qiluo Mountain area.

"Either the Crescent Moon Meridian is incomplete, preventing the appearance of the Spirit Seed."

"Or my unseen cloud mirage companion is already long gone."

"But no matter what the case is, all of Li Buxian's chanting of scriptures for so many days has been in vain!"

"Worshipping the Heavenly Demon is no better than worshipping me," Chen Mu joked with a laugh.

"Although I can't plant a spirit seed in you, I can send the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed to you, so you can at least see it."

As he laughed, he couldn't help but squint.

Previously, he wanted to use the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed to connect his physical body and the Heavenly Demon Body's aura over a long distance, thereby allowing his physical body to leave the Daoist temple.

For this reason, he traveled all over Luandu County, capturing not only newborn babies but also puppies for his spiritual seed parasitism experiments.

But Hades becomes a warrior...

Chen Mu's expression changed immediately, and he said angrily, "The local cloud mirages are so rude!"

"Old Li has had it so tough. He chanted scriptures tens of thousands of times day and night for half a month, but he didn't get any response. He's so pitiful!" He said with a look of sympathy.

"As the head of the City God Temple and a good neighbor I've known for two years, how can I stand idly by?"

"You just want to guide the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into your body, right? Old Li, I'll help you realize your dream!" Chen Mu said solemnly.

Then a fist-sized, pitch-black vortex appeared on Li Buxian's roof, and a tiny speck of dust, no bigger than a pinhead, emerged from the vortex and drifted into Li Buxian's room.

Li Buxian, who was chanting sutras, was instantly drawn to the faint glow.

"Demon..."

"Finally, they're responding to me!"

His face was full of excitement as he carefully stretched out his hands to cup the tiny speck of light in front of his eyes.

He immediately focused his gaze and swallowed it without hesitation.

The next moment, the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, which the little puppy could have easily crushed in one bite, entered Li Buxian's body without any hindrance, like a drop of ink falling into the ocean.

"It's done!" Li Buxian opened his eyes with a face full of excitement.

Chen Mu, inside the Divine Statue Cave, was completely stunned, his eyes wide with surprise.

Is it so silky?

He had conducted numerous experiments on parasitizing the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed in Luandu County, but none of them succeeded.

I really didn't expect that parasitizing Li Buxian would be so easy!
why?
Was it because Li Buxian recited scriptures ten thousand times, or because he practiced the Underworld God Transformation?!

"As long as I figure out why Li Buxian succeeded, I can implant a spiritual seed into my physical body and escape from the dojo!" Chen Mu excitedly clenched his fist.
