My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 621 Innate

The Tianhe Water Palace is like spring all year round, where one is unaware of the changing seasons.

On this day, Chen Mu's long-calm emotions began to fluctuate, a rare occurrence.

Not long ago, his divine sense completed its eightieth purification.

"This is the last one." Inside the courtyard, Chen Mu would occasionally look into the jade seed to check the progress of the Dark Cloud True Technique.

He always felt that the True Law of Dark Clouds was running much slower than before, and several times he couldn't help but want to actively speed up the operation of the True Law.

He spent the whole day anxiously, drank a lot of Rejuvenation Soup, practiced the Giant Spirit Mystic Technique a few times, and gained only a dozen or so experience points from the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique.

As evening approached, feeling his stomach satiated from the Rejuvenating Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine, Chen Mu shook his head violently.

"This can't go on like this!"

"Calm down, you absolutely must calm down!"

Chen Mu's face was full of determination.

……

Two quarters of an hour later.

In the Red Frost Tower on Suanni Street of the Heavenly River Water Mansion in the Dingyou year, Chen Mu sat in a private box on the second floor, looking at the dozen or so graceful dancers in the center of the stage on the first floor, and let out a long breath.

"Serious illnesses require strong medicine!"

Having not listened to music in a brothel for several years, he suddenly had a different understanding when he relived the experience.

The dancers in Haizhou are more graceful than those in Yunzhou.

The young lady who practices Qi cultivation is indeed far beyond the ordinary.

Her skin was so smooth and delicate that even with my magnifying glasses, I couldn't see any tiny sweat glands or pores!

"What exactly have I been doing for the past six months in the Dingyou Water Mansion?" Chen Mu wondered, feeling increasingly frustrated.

"You're late!"

……

Listening to music and watching dances, he strolled out of the Red Frost Tower late into the night, humming a tune. Instead of going home, he headed towards the center of the Water Mansion.

The power of listening naturally activated, and a tremendous life force surged within his heart.

hold head high!

Chen Mu seemed to hear an invisible roar, and the Five Dragon Dharma Forms almost manifested in response.

He squinted as he looked at a simple, ancient building more than ten meters tall in the distance.

That enormous being was none other than Jiao Yufei, the Lord of the Dingyou Water Mansion.

He had been there for over half a year and had heard many rumors about the other party. He knew that the other party practiced the Heavenly Demonic Path and had already reached the Great Perfection of the Meridian Opening Realm. He was a high-level cultivator comparable to a Qi Refining Master at the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As Chen Mu carefully sensed the other party's immense aura, he felt as if he were standing at the bottom of a towering cliff. Even though the majestic mountain stood still, it still made his heart tremble.

"Compared to such a master, practicing the River Chariot is just a small step on the path of cultivation."

Chen Mu sighed softly, and his previously agitated emotions immediately calmed down.

"The path of cultivation is still very long..."

Shrugging, Chen Mu turned and strolled back to the courtyard in Chaofeng Lane.

……

Seven days later, at dusk.

Chen Mu was preparing dinner.

Boom!

Like dew falling into a mountain stream, a crisp sound appeared in my mind.

Upon closer inspection of the jade, the dark cloud-like talisman had vanished. A spherical object, silvery-black in color and inlaid with nine layers, was slowly and randomly rotating at the center of the jade.

"It's done!"

Chen Mu smiled.

With a thought, the nine layers of magical talismans all came to a standstill, then began to rotate in reverse. The cloud-like magical power within the jade seed was instantly drawn into the divine aperture.

The tiny magical aperture was like a bottomless pit; in just over ten breaths, it absorbed all the magical power into it.

bang bang...

Like a heartbeat, a vibrant rhythm emerged at the core of the divine sense.

Accompanied by flashes of silver and black light, nine fine, hair-like white threads emerged from the divine aperture, swimming around merrily like fish.

They were full of life, and when Chen Mu focused his mind on them for a moment, he felt as if he were witnessing endless changes. But upon closer inspection, there was nothing there, as if it were an illusion.

"Primordial Qi!"

Chen Mu suddenly clenched his fist.

After more than two years of trials and tribulations, I have finally completed the River Chariot and reached the fourth stage of Qi Refining!

……

The character 戌 represents the Heavenly River and Water Palace.

Jiao Shi walked into the courtyard where Qiu Jinwu was with a big smile on his face.

"But is there any news?" Even with over a hundred years of cultivation, Qiu Jinwu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion at this moment.

"After two months, we've finally found the location of the spiritual source," Jiao Shiyi sighed. He hadn't expected that even with his father personally taking action and using the power of the Tongtian River to track it, it would still take so long.

"The location is in Dingyou Water Mansion, which is extremely remote. I'm not afraid of the distance, I'm only afraid of not knowing the location." Qiu Jinwu smiled.

"Jia Tian!" he shouted.

"Here I come! It's finally my turn to show off my skills!" A grinning bald young man suddenly peeked out from the wall next door.

"Which direction? How far away? Is there an anchor point for your presence?" Jia Tian asked in rapid succession.

“Southeast, 23,000 li away, we can find a landing point by using the waterways of the Water Mansion in some time.” Jiao Shi stared at Jia Tian with great interest.

"That's a bit far," Jia Tian said with a troubled expression.

"Tell me, how many white jade coins do you want?" Qiu Jinwu asked directly.

"Of course, the more the better." Jia Tian immediately beamed with joy.

……

In the Dingyou year, at the Tianhe Water Mansion, in the small courtyard of Chaofeng Lane.

Chen Mu carefully drew out a wisp of radiant white primordial energy.

A thought came to mind.

Swish!

Like a drop of water falling into the desert, innate energy disappears into the body.

A feeling of fullness and completeness instantly filled my heart, and my body felt a surge of vitality. Immediately afterwards, a faint tingling sensation appeared throughout my body.

"Is this nourishing the body and repairing damage?" Chen Mu understood.

Secret techniques like the Five Dragons Dharma Form and the Five Thunderbolts Spell are indeed incredibly powerful, but unfortunately, he is not a Foundation Establishment Qi Refiner. He can use his experience at the peak of perfection to unleash them, but the hidden damage cannot be completely avoided.

After sensing the changes in his body for a while, Chen Mu drew out another wisp of innate energy. He deliberately controlled it to prevent it from dissipating and instead sent it into the secret acupoint between his eyebrows.

The primordial energy vanished in the next instant.

hum!

Chen Mu's vision went black for a moment, as if he saw a sky full of stars, countless starlight appearing in his mind. This scene flashed by, like an illusion.

"As expected, this thing can bring about a transformation in the Heavenly Demon Body!"

But... there are so many Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds?

Just how many copies of that Eastern Longevity Manual were actually circulated?!

Chen Mu was completely bewildered. After pondering for a while, he finally brought his thoughts back to the Primordial Qi.

Then he controlled the third primordial energy and placed it in front of his brow.

Whoosh!

A flash of black and white light appeared before my eyes by some unexpected twist of fate, and then I carefully circled around the innate Qi.

In the past, these two would stay inside the secret passage all day without moving, but now they're acting like cats seeing catnip.

"You're usually so arrogant, aren't you? You surrendered as soon as you felt a bit of innate energy?" Chen Mu said irritably.

"Why don't you show me your usual aloofness?"

Chen Mu smiled and teased.

……

At the Dingyou Heavenly River Water Palace Daoist Temple, the void twisted and shifted. Accompanied by rolling waves of air, three figures appeared in a flash.

A powerful and overwhelming force suddenly swept over us.

Qiu Jinwu's expression remained unchanged, but Jia Tian and Jiao Shi swayed precariously, their bodies feeling weak and sore.

"Third Grand Uncle, it's me, Jiao Shi, one of our own!" Jiao Shi shouted immediately.

"I apologize for my rudeness in coming here so abruptly, and I hope Fellow Daoist Jiao will forgive me." Qiu Jinwu cupped his hands in a fist salute towards the void.

“I am currently in seclusion and cannot leave my seclusion. Fellow Daoist Qiu, please make your own way.” A young voice appeared around the three of them.

"Thank you!" Qiu Jinwu clasped his hands in thanks again, and then led Jiao Shi and the other two men, striding towards the Water Mansion Dojo.

After a while.

At the entrance of an alley, Akijin appeared, clutching a fist-sized amber-colored bead. Feeling the increasingly intense vibrations, Akijin finally smiled.

"After traveling tens of thousands of miles, finally..."

He took a deep breath and was about to go inside the box to check.

But the next moment, the amber bead that had been vibrating violently suddenly stopped, no matter how he tried to urge it, it wouldn't move.

"Did you do this?!" He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Jiao Shi.

Jiao Shi's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"No...that's impossible!"

"This Spirit-Seeking Pearl was personally refined by my father, how could it suddenly become ineffective!" Jiao Shi was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.

Akijin Gou gave the other person a cold glance, then turned to look at the alley in front of him.

"Since the final instruction is to search this place, then I will search every inch and verify every person!"

A powerful aura immediately began to permeate the alley.
