My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 560 Refining the Divine Aperture
Several days later, in the Divine Statue Cave, Chen Mu lay rocking in a rocking chair under a big tree.

His right hand slowly opened and closed its five fingers, lightning flashing continuously, but his eyes were fixed on the gray wall in front of him.

Listening Method: 9931/10000/Eighth Stage;

Giant Spirit God: 7456/10000/Tier 6;

Sunflower Water Yin Thunder: 9841/10000/Third Tier;

Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: 3125/10000/Sixth Order;

The incantation for communicating with the spirit world: 9306/10000;

Dark Cloud True Method: 3409/10000/First Tier;
"The Listening Technique is quite an unexpected bonus," Chen Mu thought with a smile.

He didn't deliberately cultivate, but due to frequent use and the accumulation of experience, he is now on the verge of advancing.

"Giant Spirit God is not bad either, it's making steady progress."

Chen Mu initially cultivated the Giant Spirit God technique to consume the excess essence of the Rejuvenation Soup. However, its amplifying power was so strong that Chen Mu never gave up cultivating this secret technique.

"Kui Shui Yin Lei is about to advance to the next level, so we can allocate more time to him these next few days," Chen Mu said thoughtfully. He had always been quite envious of Sun Jian's dominance in Jilongdao back then.

"The only way to learn the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter is to accumulate experience over time."

In the past, he had devoted a great deal of effort to cultivating the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Chapter in hopes of escaping his predicament. But now that he has escaped the Daoist temple with the help of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, and considering that the Heavenly Demon Body is trapped in the Divine Statue Cave, he has not completely stopped cultivating, but has correspondingly reduced his cultivation time.

"On the contrary, I can spend more time on the Netherworld Connection Spell recently." Chen Mu stroked his chin and pondered, "The Netherworld Ghost Pattern is still very interesting, and it's almost perfected, so I can practice it to its limit first."

Chen Mu finally turned his gaze to Wuyun Zhenfa.

"This is the key to my current cultivation." This secret method is related to the refinement of his divine aperture and the fourth stage of Qi Refining, so he dares not neglect it.

After briefly considering his daily training schedule, Chen Mu flipped his wrist, and the Five Ghosts Bag appeared.

He took a deep breath, slowly opened the drawstring of the Five Ghosts Bag, and stared at the opening of the bag carefully.

Six or seven strands of black energy, as thin as hair, quickly flew out of the Five Ghosts Bag and began to slowly disintegrate as soon as they came into contact with the outside air.

He immediately reached out and enveloped it with the power of the Dark Cloud True Method.

Whoosh!
The black thread vanished into thin air.

Chen Mu immediately immersed his mind in the jade seed, looked at the dark cloud talisman with a corner stained black, and smiled.

"It's done!"

He couldn't help but throw a punch.

Over the past seven or eight days, he had traveled to five counties surrounding Luandu County. Using the millet gourd of Li Buxian and other temple priests, he successfully collected one hundred wandering souls and put them into the Five Ghosts Bag.

After several attempts, it was finally confirmed that the Yin Ghost Monster paired with the Five Ghost Bag could indeed generate Hunyuan Qi.

"What's even better is that the Five Ghosts Bag can automatically collect and store the Primordial Qi, ensuring that it will not collapse."

He conducted experiments using the exquisite jade plate and discovered that the primordial energy was extremely unstable. Under natural conditions, the primordial energy dissipates very easily. From its appearance to its complete disappearance, it takes at most a few dozen breaths.

The exquisite jade plate can produce eight or nine portions of Hunyuan Qi every day, but this requires him to concentrate on it for an entire day.

However, the Five Ghosts Bag can automatically collect and store energy, and can also prevent the primordial energy from dissipating.

In this way, he only needs to open the bag regularly each day to harvest the Primordial Qi, saving a lot of time.

"The ancient Thousand Mountains Road is no simple matter," Chen Mu exclaimed.

The Five Ghosts Bag originated from the Thousand Mountains Classic, from the remote border region of Daliang, and accompanied him for over ten years.

The secret techniques such as possession by five ghosts and moving mountains by five ghosts are extremely effective and remain so to this day.

Now, with the added ability to create primordial energy, it has once again been a great help to him.

"Although I don't know the underlying principles, it doesn't stop me from using it for cultivation."

"It's a bit too little to produce only five or six streams of Primordial Qi per day. We need to collect more Yin Souls and put them into the Five Ghost Bag."

"Hmm...we'll just have to make things harder for Li Buxian. Haha!"

Li Buxian: "..."

……

The weather grew hotter, and more than a month passed quickly. Luandu County entered the rainy season, with light rain falling every few days. Beneath the gate tower of the Divine Statue Cave, Chen Mu lay comfortably in a rocking chair, his eyes closed, swaying gently.
The water screen in front of the door displays scenes of the Jade Belt River and its surroundings. The sound of raindrops falling on the river surface lingers in Chen Mu's ears.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his limbs and arms as much as he could, and felt comfortable all over.

During this period, apart from going out every day to receive the spirits collected by Li Buxian and others, he spent most of his time cultivating in the cave, with remarkable results.

With a thought, a gray wall appeared before my eyes.

Listening Method: 231/10000/Nine Levels;

Kui Shui Yin Lei: 1731/10000/Fourth Tier;

The Incantation to Connect with the Netherworld: The Limit;

Dark Cloud True Method: 89/10000/Second Tier;

The advanced Listening Technique allows for a wider detection range and stronger investigation capabilities.

When the Kui Shui Yin Lei reached the fourth stage, its power was considerable, comparable to that of Sun Jian of the Chicken Cage Sect.

With the completion of the Netherworld Connection Technique, one can freely move in and out of the Nine Netherworlds, unlike in the beginning when one would be directly squeezed out of the Nine Netherworlds by countless ghost patterns.

Most importantly, he finally maxed out the first level of the Dark Cloud True Technique.

"It's time to start refining my divine senses," Chen Mu thought excitedly.

Over the past month, the five ghost bags have accumulated four to five hundred spirits, providing a stable supply of more than forty streams of primordial energy each day.

Four or five days ago, the Dark Cloud Talisman had already been completely blackened. This indicated that the Primordial Qi was abundant, allowing for the purification of the divine aperture. The reason for waiting until today was to wait for the Dark Cloud True Method to reach its first stage of perfection.

After carefully observing the feedback from the gray wall, Chen Mu's eyes flashed with realization: "There really is something to it."

The primordial energy has an extremely strong corrosive power. If one is not careful during the process of refining the divine aperture, it may damage the source of the divine aperture.

Upon reaching the first stage of the Dark Cloud True Method, a power called "Mutual Return" emerged. With this power, if the divine aperture suffers severe corrosion, Chen Mu can proactively cause the Primordial Qi to dissipate, promptly halting the purification of the divine aperture and ensuring the safety of his cultivation.

After reviewing the key information for refining the divine aperture one last time, Chen Mu took a breath and focused his mind into the jade seed.

At this moment, the dark clouds surrounding the divine aperture flickered with light, like lightning.

The next moment, the dark clouds surged and dispersed with a whoosh.

Then it transformed into nine black tornadoes, drilling into the divine aperture from all directions and rapidly spreading along the gaps between the divine aperture's talismans.

At a certain divine point, countless magical symbols are interconnected, forming a dense network.

Like black smoke, the dark cloud-like talisman flew in through the gap and lightly collided with a silver root-like branch of the divine aperture.

laugh!
Like being corroded by strong acid, tiny pits immediately appeared on the root-like runes. In the blink of an eye, the runes, which were as tough as cast silver metal, were corroded and dented in large areas without any resistance.

Just as the root-like talisman was about to corrode and break, the black mist suddenly paused, then dissipated into scattered specks of fluorescent light.

Before long, the white mist-like magical power was drawn in, and the riddled divine aperture talisman began to slowly grow back, and in no time at all, it was completely restored.

Upon closer inspection, however, one can see that within the root-like divine aperture talisman, there are now barely visible black threads, resembling the veins inside a leaf.

It is precisely these black lines that give the talisman here a unique sense of resilience.

chi chi chi...

The divine aperture trembled slightly, and similar scenes played out all over the nine layers of divine aperture.

The divine talisman corroded and then restored itself, slowly transforming itself in the process of damage and repair.

Waves of pain and tingling sensations emanated from the depths of Chen Mu's soul. The feeling was not intense, but it was continuous.

With nowhere to scratch and no way to cut back, he could only endure it slowly.

They immerse themselves in cultivation, sometimes for an entire day at a time.

By the time Chen Mu had completely finished this first round of divine aperture cleansing, it was already evening.

The tingling and numb pain disappeared, replaced by a feeling of clarity and well-being. The entire divine aperture talisman also gained a noticeable sense of calm and profound mystery.

"This approach has finally worked!" Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

"With the Five Ghost Bag and the Yin Spirit Monster, even if the Yunzhou land veins change drastically and the buried spiritual spring disappears, it won't affect my divine aperture purification!"
