My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 683 Emperor's Slurry

West side of Tiangongying.

Inside the Demon Exorcism Camp, there are rows of bungalows sculpted using the technique of turning mud into stone.

In a certain room, Chen Mu, wearing a leather apron and holding a sharp knife, carefully dealt with the armored monster on the stone platform in front of him.

"Brother Chen, which sect are you from?" the short, stout steward Wu asked curiously from the doorway.

"Haizhou Baihuan Sect, a small sect," Chen Mu said with a smile.

"He's actually a disciple of the Hundred Illusions Sect. No wonder Brother Chen's demon-slaying skills are so exquisite," Manager Wu exclaimed in admiration.

"Have you heard of the Hundred Illusions Sect?" Now it was Chen Mu's turn to be curious.

The Hundred Illusions Sect ranks at the bottom in Haizhou. It doesn't have any high-end secret techniques and isn't a major sect. Yet, this Manager Wu in front of me knows its reputation.

"No," Manager Wu shook his head with a frank expression.

and you……

"Judging from Brother Chen's demon-slaying techniques, I know that the Hundred Illusions Sect is an extraordinary sect!" he said sincerely.

That's because I possess the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Hundred Illusions Sect.

“The Hundred Illusions Sect was just a small sect, and now it has been wiped out by the Thousand Machines Sect, which is equivalent to its extermination.” Chen Mu glanced at Steward Wu and said indifferently.

"To have honed such skills in such a small sect, Brother Chen is truly gifted!" Manager Wu said earnestly.

So you're just going to force a compliment, huh?!

"Manager Wu, if you want to give me more tasks, just say so," Chen Mu said irritably.

"This is what Brother Chen requested himself!" Manager Wu's chubby face was full of joy.

I knew it!

Chen Mu rolled his eyes.

"It's all that Green Worm Demon Lord's fault. Our Demon Exorcism Department suffered heavy losses this time, and we really don't have enough manpower," Manager Wu said with a wry smile.

Are you making me work overtime just because we're short-staffed?

Why!

“I have connections in the Ministry of Works, and I can get clean monster meat. You see…” Manager Wu said mysteriously.

"Deal!" Chen Mu nodded immediately.

With the Chengtian Gourd, I no longer lack the ingredients for the Rejuvenation Soup.

But even if you don't eat it yourself, it's good to use it to feed the ghosts and monsters.

……

Late at night, in the snail shell.

Chen Mu took out the Plague Immortal Flag and activated the Plague Immortal Technique to absorb any residual plague toxins that might be present in the air.

More than two months have passed since the Huangliang Plague raged, and the plague has been mostly contained within the Plague Immortal Banner.

Chen Mu's actions at this moment were more to add an extra layer of insurance.

It took him quite a while to stop chanting the incantation.

"No plague has gathered for five consecutive days, so the plague must have been completely collected." Chen Mu felt a little relieved and looked at the Plague Immortal Flag.

It is unclear whether it is due to the Qi of the Jade Cicada or the accumulation of plague toxins.

The originally crimson Plague Immortal Banner has now been mostly dyed dark gold.

As he curiously examined the information, a complex mass of data suddenly appeared in his mind.

Chen Mu was taken aback and immediately brought up the gray wall.

Plague Immortal Technique: 5/10000/Tier 4;

"After urging the Plague Immortal Banner for a month, I never expected it to jump two levels and directly push the Plague Immortal Technique to the fourth level. What an unexpected surprise."

Chen Mu chuckled and began to examine the insights and feedback in his mind.

"Imperial Dew?"

"what?"

He became curious and carefully examined each line on the gray wall to understand its meaning.

It took him a long while to come to his senses, his face full of complicated emotions.

"I was right. Lu Yue's release of the Yellow Millet Plague and the creation of the Black Armor Warriors were just side effects. The real important thing was the plague itself."

"He's doing this so he can use the plague to absorb all living beings and spirits!" Chen Mu frowned deeply.

The feedback from the fourth-tier Plague Immortal Technique is a technique that uses the Plague Immortal Flag to squeeze out plague toxins and extract a precious medicine called Emperor's Flowing Elixir.

In this process, the plague is the bee, the plague fairy flag is the beehive, the spirit of the living beings is the pollen, and the imperial nectar is the honey, which can greatly replenish the vital energy of the spirit.

"Feeding on the spirits of others and killing people, this method is even more sinister than demons from outer space!" Chen Mu frowned deeply.

Meng Qingchan, Lü Shenjun...

They're all bastards!

This is supposed to be the orthodox way of cultivating Qi? It's even more bizarre than those unorthodox and heretical sects!

Chen Mu couldn't help but think of the early days of the Great Liang in the borderlands. Back then, to leave Great Liang on the Thousand Machines Sect's White Ghost Ship, apart from geniuses with innate Daoist bones, everyone else had to use the Thousand Machines Token as a ticket.

The Thousand Machine Token is a container that contains a large amount of the essence of the Three Treasures.

Every few decades, various uprisings and rebellions would break out within the territory of Daliang. The purpose was to create bloodshed so that the Thousand Machine Order could control the Yin Spirits and absorb the three treasures of ordinary people: essence, energy, and spirit.

And this matter must be related to the Thousand Machine Sect.

"One uses ghostly spirits to extract the essence of the three treasures from ordinary people, while the other uses the Yellow Millet Plague to refine the spirits of living beings."

"This is a classic case of 'if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too'!"

……

A few days later.

In Chen Mu's room, a fist-sized ball of golden liquid floated in mid-air.

An alluring aroma, reaching deep into the heart, permeated the surroundings.

"The aroma of the imperial nectar is so tempting!" Chen Mu exclaimed in amazement, feeling the saliva constantly welling up in his mouth.

After several days of experimentation, with the help of the Plague Immortal Flag, he easily extracted the Emperor's Essence from the Yellow Millet Plague.

Now, just smelling the aroma makes him feel refreshed and invigorated. The vital energy he had depleted during the day from repeatedly practicing his innate qi was instantly restored by two or three-tenths.

If taken directly...

"What a pity..." Chen Mu shook his head.

"This thing originated from Meng Qingchan, who knows if there's some hidden trap inside."

Back then, Lü Yue used Meng Qingchan as a chess piece to test his skills with the game "Linglong Jinzhang". Meng Qingchan knew there was a trap, but she gladly accepted it.

While Lü Yue seemed to have the upper hand, Meng Qingchan was not without her own tricks.

A single Plague Immortal Banner led Lü Yue, the sect leader of the Thousand Machines Sect, down the evil path of devouring the spirits of others.

This shows that Meng Qingchan was by no means a kind-hearted person.

"It's best to be careful with what you eat." Chen Mu took a deep breath, trying to suppress his greed.

but……

Not eating it doesn't mean you can't use it.

As soon as Chen Mu had a thought, a huge figure that reached all the way to the ceiling of the room suddenly appeared behind him.

It wore crimson armor inlaid with gold thread and a fiery red hooded cloak.

Its face had no facial features; on its smooth, oval-shaped face, there was only a slowly rotating vortex of dark red gas.

“Giant Spirit God…” Chen Mu turned around and looked at the enormous creature, silently sensing its power.

A restless feeling welled up inside me.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had always used the Giant Spirit God as a secret technique to amplify his power, but after entering the ninth rank, he discovered the difference.

What was originally just a half-body phantom of a deity has now become real.

It transformed from a simple secret technique into a mysterious entity that lies somewhere between a secret technique and a magical artifact.

Now, it is displaying an extraordinary spirituality, even able to release a longing emotion towards the Emperor's Dew.

"Amazing!" Chen Mu looked the Giant Spirit God up and down, his face full of interest.

With a wave of his right hand, he pulled the mass of imperial liquid into the air, and a little magical power flowed into the giant spirit statue.

hum!

The dark red vortex beneath the hood slowly rotated, generating a suction force that instantly drew the golden imperial liquid into the vortex.

Like a stream flowing across the earth, countless fine golden threads suddenly meandered and flowed across the crimson armor, quickly forming mysterious patterns.

Below the statue, red lines are woven together, and the half-body statue, which originally only reached the navel, is quickly extended downwards to complete it.

In just a few breaths, the lower half of the skirt armor was completed.

Chen Mu's heart stirred, and he looked at a column on the gray wall.

Giant Spirit God: 743/10000/Ninth Rank;

"A clump of imperial fluid grants over two hundred experience points?"

"Tsk! This secret technique, which I've practiced for over ten years, is finally nearing completion!" Chen Mu smiled.

The Giant Spirit Mystic Technique requires the purification of one's own essence and magical power during cultivation.

In the past, it was all about accumulating little by little over time, which was a slow process.

Furthermore, after entering the ninth stage, the demand for essence and magical power skyrocketed. Over the past few months, he had practiced every day, but had only managed to accumulate five or six hundred experience points.

"The Emperor's Flow Fruit is indeed extraordinary!"
