My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 427 Recovery
River of Oblivion
Swish!
A pebble fell silently into the river, but strangely, not a single drop of water was splashed. The surface of the water was as calm as a mirror, without even the slightest ripple.

Shi Dechun tossed the stone in his hand up and down, staring at the river surface with a bored expression.

Once the faint chanting around him disappeared, he turned to Chen Mu with a puzzled look: "Don't you ever get annoyed by chanting the Dew Gathering Mantra every day?"

Dew-Gathering Spell: 8526/10000;

Chen Mu put away the gray wall and revealed a smile.

bother?
I watch my experience points whirl around and I level up; how could I possibly get annoyed?

"Besides, it's no use reciting this stuff so well. The maximum amount of jade dew you can collect depends on your talent, not on how fluent you are at reciting it. Why are you reciting it every day?" Shi Dechun changed his perspective and threw another stone into the river.

Ah!
For me, being quick-witted is very useful.

Over the past few days, as my experience with the Dew Gathering Spell has increased, the fundamental power that drives the Dew Gathering Spell has begun to emerge.

This not only allowed him to collect more jade dew, but also seemed to slowly revive the Qi Restriction of Hundred Miles that he had been unable to activate since transforming into the true form of the Heavenly Demon.

Chen Mu was in a good mood and chuckled as he flattered, "I prefer reciting rhymes."

I believe you!
Shi Dechun rolled his eyes, leaned to the side, and with a whoosh, threw the last pebble into the River of Oblivion. Unfortunately, not a single splash was made.

"By the way, has everyone almost paid their travel expenses?" Chen Mu asked, frowning.

However, he had vaguely noticed in the past few days that Niu Sanmiao did not seem to have any plans to set off anytime soon.

"What, you want to get to Jigu City as soon as possible?" Shi Dechun gestured with his chin toward Niu Sanmiao in the distance: "I'm just afraid that bull-headed man won't be happy about it."

"Niu Sanmiao wants us to help him collect jade dew?" Chen Mu frowned even more.

Is this some kind of scheme to use these spirits as free labor?
The price of twenty jade dewdrops is the agreed-upon travel fee. If they forcibly charge more than that, even if they are not afraid of causing trouble now, aren't they afraid of retaliation in the future?
Seemingly sensing Chen Mu's thoughts, Shi Dechun shrugged: "We're all counting on him to lead the way; he'll always find another excuse."

"Don't overthink it. You've already died once, so what's the rush? Just wait and see."

Chen Mu glanced at the gray wall's experience and nodded silently.

This is a good time to practice the Dew Gathering Spell to its limit. At that time, I can restore a little bit of the power of the Qi Restriction Spell, which will also make me safer.

"Who would have thought that there would be no earth spirit energy in the Netherworld?" Chen Mu grinned helplessly.

Even in the desolate island of Daliang, there is still a sparse amount of primordial energy. But in the Netherworld, at least near the banks of the River of Oblivion, there is absolutely no primordial energy.

"If I switch bodies, once my magic power is used up, it won't be so easy to recover," Chen Mu sighed.

Although the Five Ghosts Bag contained white jade coins, the quantity was ultimately limited.

He looked at his body in the dark space. More than twenty days had passed, and his body had only recovered by a small portion of its damage. There seemed to be residual power preventing the muscle and tendons from regenerating from the corrosive waters of the River of Oblivion. Fortunately, he had a strong physique, otherwise the recovery would have been even slower.

"We can only use magical secret techniques as a trump card in times of crisis." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes. "It would be better to master Yin Spirit supernatural powers."

Since the true form of the Cloud Mirage Demon can practice the Dew Gathering Spell and use its energy to restrict movement for hundreds of miles, it should also be able to use the power of Yin spirits.

"The Bewitching Divine Power is still too weak for the time being, and this kind of divine power is easy to arouse people's fear, so it is not easy to use frequently."

"Well, we still need to restore the Qi Restriction Hundred Miles first."

"At least we have some resources at our disposal."

……

Two days later, at dusk, by the campfire at the wilderness camp.

Niu Sanmiao strolled over with his hands behind his back, collecting the jade dew from everyone's hands one by one, but didn't leave in a hurry.

Instead, he smiled and pinched a transparent round bead, saying, "This kind of bead that can absorb and store jade dew is called a burdock bead."

"For me, a single bead requires only a gourd of jade dew."

"The time hasn't come yet, we'll have to stay by the river for a few more days. If you want to collect some jade dew in advance, you can come to me to buy some burdock pearls."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned sour, and they began to discuss among themselves.

This month's burdock seeds are definitely not worth a gourd of jade dew; Niu Sanmiao just changed the way he squeezed everyone's jade dew.

Shi Dechun leaned closer to Chen Mu, winked, and whispered, "See? He always has other excuses." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Uncle Niu, do you know which direction Jigu City is in?" someone suddenly asked.

Chen Mu couldn't help but look over.

Is he preparing to travel alone?

He then looked at Niu Sanmiao, who surprisingly wasn't angry. Instead, Niu Sanmiao looked up and pointed behind him.

"I won't lie to you. Just follow the direction I'm pointing, and you'll reach Jigu City in about seven days."

“If you’re in a hurry, you can go directly,” Niu Sanmiao said with a smile. “But there’s one thing you need to know: I won’t refund the travel expenses I’ve collected.”

After saying that, he ignored everyone's reaction and went to collect jade dew in other places with his hands behind his back.

Really that generous?
Chen Mu shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid this road isn't very safe."

Shi Dechun nodded as if he had already seen through it all: "Otherwise, we wouldn't be so fearless."

"Who told him to be a ghost soldier in the city?"

"This is what they make a living from."

Chen Mu nodded.

He wasn't particularly concerned about the jade dewdrops; with his current skill level, he could condense a gourdful in less than fifteen minutes. What he cared about was the dangerous factor that convinced Niu Sanmiao that the others wouldn't dare to travel alone.

"I need to max out the Dew Gathering Spell as soon as possible!"

……

Feeling a growing sense of crisis, he became even more engrossed in casting the Dew Gathering Spell.

As he became more proficient with the incantation, he clearly felt a power stirring within his body.

Three days later, in the evening.

Not long after returning to the camp from the River of Oblivion.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged by the rising campfire and finished reciting the Dew Gathering Incantation once.

He suddenly shuddered, and a surge of power erupted from all parts of his body.

Chen Mu immediately looked at the experience on the gray wall.

Dew-Gathering Spell: The Limit;

really……

With a thought, he easily controlled this power, which enveloped his entire body. A warm feeling immediately arose, and the cold wind that made the spirits shiver at night was instantly kept out of his body.

The next moment, a strange force flew out, and a withered blade of grass at his feet floated slightly.

The air can be contained for a hundred miles!

Chen Mu's lips immediately curled up.

"The reason why the Qi was previously restricted for a hundred miles was because the Heavenly Demon True Form lacked magic power. Now that the Yin Spirit power has been discovered, it has been revived immediately."

"So, it wasn't just to condense jade dew, but also to awaken this power belonging to the Yin spirits, which is why the Yin spirits were taught the Dew Gathering Incantation?"

He turned to look at the one-eyed man, Haiyuan, who was sitting by the campfire chanting incantations.

"No wonder this guy has no shortage of jade dew yet he's still practicing the Dew Gathering Spell."

"Did Niu Sanmiao reveal some information?"

Looking at the strange figures of those people who were all busy practicing the Dew Gathering Spell, Chen Mu suddenly realized something.

"Tsk, such special treatment for someone with exceptional talent."
