My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 550 Seven Emotions
Located west of Luandu County, on the edge of Nanlin Mountain, in a dense forest.

"Should I inform the Lock Dragon Academy about the abnormal energy?" Xie An shook his head. "I'm afraid that's not feasible."

"I am a retainer of the Xie family, and my information channels are all within the Xie family system. No matter how careful I am, the first people to know will definitely be members of the Xie family."

"This may actually delay the process of Suolong Academy settling in."

"Because of the millet wine?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Not bad!" Xie An nodded.

"The incense offerings are becoming more abundant, and the production of millet wine is increasing. Once this news spreads, the positions of temple keeper at the nearby City God Temple will immediately become highly sought after."

"To protect their own interests, the Xie family will only conceal the news and operate quietly. I will continue to serve as the temple keeper of Jiangyang County, and I will not let go of the temple keeper positions in the surrounding counties either."

"This whole ordeal will take at least a year."

"Is Huangliang wine that important?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

"The Underworld God Transformation involves fusing the power of gods and demons into one's own body. Cultivators need to constantly hone and contend with the will of gods and demons," Xie An explained.

"The backlash here is extremely dangerous; a slight mistake could result in being reduced to ashes."

"Whether it's ensuring one's own safety or continuing to cultivate deeply, one needs a sufficiently powerful spiritual spirit."

"And millet wine can replenish the spirit of the fetus, so..."

Chen Mu immediately understood.

No wonder Li Buxian, a master of the Seven Transformations of the Underworld God, was willing to stay in the remote Luandu County for several years.

It seems that this was also to collect millet wine to replenish the spirit of the upper fetus, so that he could smoothly cultivate the Nine Transformations of the Underworld God.

"Hmm...this old guy seems to have some connection with the Dragon Locking Academy. Perhaps we can have him inform the Dragon Locking Academy." Chen Mu's eyes lit up with an idea.

He then turned to look at the respectful Xie An.

They thought it would take some effort to capture Xie An to gather information, but they didn't expect him to be so cooperative. As soon as they asked, Xie An immediately told them everything he knew.

While the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed may make the other party feel close to you, it will not make them obedient.

"You're cooperating so well, there's no ulterior motive involved, is there?" He looked Xie An up and down with suspicion.

Why would I cooperate? Don't you know?
Planting the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed in me is just to make me obedient and submissive, isn't it?

Xie An inwardly grumbled, but outwardly maintained a respectful and solemn expression: "It is my honor to be able to help you solve your problems, and I would never dare to have any ulterior motives!"

"No requests?"

"I dare not have the slightest selfish thought!"

Bullshit!

Chen Mu glanced at Xie An: "To be honest, otherwise..."

"I wanted to ask you for a spell to refine the power of the seven emotions," Xie An said with an embarrassed smile, no longer hiding his true intentions.

Ah!
I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

"Alas, it's mainly because my abilities are meager, and there's only so much I can do. I thought that if I were stronger, I could contribute to you even better." Xie An bowed again, clasping his hands in a fist salute, every strand of his hair seemingly conveying a sincere and loyal sentiment.

Tsk!
This sycophantic manner is befitting of someone from a powerful family's trusted retainer; those who have trained are indeed experienced.

But refining the seven emotions? What the hell is that?

Chen Mu frowned slightly, and then thought of Li Buxian.

For the past month or so, he has been busy cultivating the Qingnang Chapter.

However, occasional observations have revealed that Li Buxian, who was parasitized by the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, did not undergo the same changes as the Yin Spirit.

Chen Mu couldn't help but look at Xie An: "After the spirit seed entered your body, did you see any strange sights such as stars and the sky in your consciousness?"

"No," Xie An shook his head in confusion. "I can only vaguely sense the seven emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

"Just passively absorbing a little bit has greatly replenished the upper fetal spirit."

As expected! The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed is different from the Yin Spirit; it can actually make the host aware of and utilize the power of the seven emotions to cultivate!
And the incantation that refines the power of the seven emotions is probably the lower part of the Crescent Moon Sutra.

He had studied the Crescent Moon Sutra in Li Buxian's possession.

The first part of the scripture contains a demonic incantation, primarily intended to lure demons into the body. The second part, however, contains an unknown secret technique. In retrospect, it is a spell to refine the seven emotions.

For more than a month, Li Buxian continued to recite the Crescent Moon Sutra, and his spirit grew stronger day by day. His eyes were so bright that they almost shone, which was the most direct manifestation of his full spiritual energy.

"No wonder Li Buxian took the initiative to worship the Heavenly Demon. He probably did it to replenish his spiritual power and then cultivate the Nine Transformations of the Underworld God." Chen Mu understood.

"That celestial demon cloud mirage who accompanied me is far more skilled than I am." He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He possesses the Heavenly Demon Curse and can plant spirit seeds in others, yet he can only serve as a skill pack, giving away experience points.

However, they had already discovered the power of the seven emotions and even developed a matching refining spell.

That's really something!
He pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it.

"The most urgent task is to leave the temple and depart from the Great Qian Dynasty."

As for studying the power of the seven emotions, there will be plenty of time after we are completely freed from this predicament.

Chen Mu handed the second part of the Crescent Moon Scripture to Xie An as a kind of experiment, while he himself returned directly to the Divine Image Cave.

……

Early morning, east courtyard of the City God Temple.

Li Buxian walked out of the room, twisting his waist and turning his head to stretch his body, looking relaxed and carefree.

In the past, he often had nightmares due to the clash between the wills of gods and demons, but this phenomenon has not occurred recently.

This is all because the Heavenly Demon Seed strengthened the Upper Fetal Spirit God, completely suppressing the chaos caused by the will of gods and demons.

"I am confident that I can attempt the Nine Transformations of the Underworld God within two years at most."

"If I rely on millet wine, given my current situation, I'll have to waste at least another five or six years."

“The Heavenly Demon Path is on the right track.” Li Buxian smiled.

"It would have been even better if we hadn't attracted that ancestor Gongsun Sheng." He looked helplessly at the Locked Dragon Well in the courtyard and remained silent.

Previously, when the Qiluoshan City God Temple was newly built, it was impossible to brew millet wine, so the position of temple keeper was taken advantage of by him.

But now that they can produce millet wine, those powerful families will definitely be tempted.

Once Gongsun Sheng's identity as a Qi Refiner is discovered, those people might frame him for colluding with other Qi Refiners in order to get rid of him.

With the Heavenly Demon Seed and the Crescent Moon Scripture, he didn't need the Yellow Millet Wine for cultivation, and he didn't care much about the position of temple keeper.

But once implicated, even if there is a way to escape punishment, it will ultimately affect his advancement to the Ninth Transformation of the Underworld God!

Even more dangerously, Gongsun Sheng's energy was connected to that of his own Heavenly Demon Seed.
I get along well with him now, but what if we have a falling out one day and he uses some curse or nightmare technique on me? Wouldn't I be doomed?

Thinking of the possible consequences, Li Buxian's expression turned cold.

"How about we just tell the Lock Dragon Academy about Gongsun Sheng?"

"Before he could harm me, I'd kill him first!"

"Not only can I use someone else to do my dirty work, but I might also be able to earn some merit in the Lock Dragon Academy!" Li Buxian's heart was stirred.

But no sooner had he thought of that than he suddenly leaped up and did a split in mid-air. His soft thighs slammed hard against the cold, hard ground with a loud thud.

Li Buxian was completely stunned.

He never even considered doing the splits; that movement was completely out of his control!
"Is this the Nightmare Victory Technique that Gongsun Sheng secretly set up within the Heavenly Demon Path? Anyone who harbors any ill intentions towards him will be punished?"

"But what the hell is this 'mid-air split' thing?"

The Heavenly Demon Seed is supposed to be so lofty and powerful, but you give me a backlash technique that involves splitting my legs?

This doesn't match at all!
Is Gongsun Sheng mentally ill?
