My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 711: Vitality Depletion
After solving the problem of controlling the ghost, Chen Mu's life returned to normal.

Practice the Jade Cicada Secret Book every day to steadily advance the process of Taoism cultivation, and continue to ponder the Plague Immortal Method during rest time.

A strange monster was captured every three to five days, and the number of ghosts in the Five Ghost Bag soon reached twelve thousand.

It was like symbiosis and complementarity. Under the influence of the ghost monster, the internal space of the Five Ghosts Bag began to expand slowly.

"There must be some mysterious secret between the two." Chen Mu seemed to understand.

The training method of the Five Ghost Bag comes from the "Thousand Mountains Classic". The five ghost paper figures, one of the core elements, are made using ghost monsters.

"Perhaps it is only recorded in the complete Qianshan Sutra, but it's a pity that I can't see it."

The Qianshan Jing has been widely circulated, but most of its copies are in fragments.

Over the past few years, he traveled around and browsed through many book collections in several Taoist sects, but he did not find any relevant scriptures.

Chen Mu thought about it for a moment and stopped paying attention to it.

After all, it's not something that concerns life.

As long as you go far enough on the path of refining Qi and cultivating immortals, you might meet him in the end.

Recklessly.

In his spare time from practicing, Chen Mu would occasionally look up at the starry sky, wondering about the current situation of the invasion of the dark demons and heavenly monsters on the Fire Dao Star.

Sometimes I would worry that demons would fall from the sky and the Haizhou rebellion would happen again.

But there are billions of stars in the sky, and he doesn't have the ability to observe the stars, so he can't see anything.

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

"The Qianji Sect has been guarding the Jiaomu Stars for many years, so they should have had a plan in place."

"I'd better just focus on cultivating my immortality."

"If your Taoism improves by one point, your ability to escape will be a little stronger if you really encounter a big chaos like that."

……

There is no sun or moon in the mountains.

Chen Mu enjoyed gaining experience every day and didn't really care about the passage of time.

On this day, Chen Mu sat in front of the wooden house as usual, listening to the sound of water flowing from a small waterfall not far away, and practicing the innate qi with his eyes closed.

After a while, I opened my eyes and a gray wall appeared in front of me.

Jade Cicada Secret Codex: 5147/10000/th level;

"I'm halfway through the ninth level. It won't take long before I can complete it." Chen Mu's face was full of smiles.

The cultivation of Dao foundation is the fifth stage of Qi training.

No matter how mysterious the first four levels of combining the jade seeds, gathering the Yuan Fu, concentrating the spirit, and refining the river cart are, they are actually just practices based on the original foundation of the human body.

No matter how sophisticated the secret method is, it cannot break through the limits of the human body. It can prolong life, but it is basically impossible to achieve immortality.

Only by reshaping the jade species and changing the foundation can one completely shed the mortal body, which is an indispensable step in cultivating the primordial spirit.

"It's almost there, soon I will be reborn and enter a whole new stage."

After happily imagining the future for a while, Chen Mu suddenly felt like something was missing.

After thinking about it for a long time, it finally dawned on me.

"Why hasn't today's strange monster appeared yet?"

During the months of seclusion in Yunwu Mountain, a strange monster would appear every three to five days.

Just like waiting for a rabbit to come to you, without much trouble, hundreds of ghosts and monsters appeared in front of you.

The power of the Candle Dragon Transformation has increased visibly, and under the nourishment of the majestic Yin Spirit's divine power, the colorless seven emotions flames on the Yin Spirit's divine fetus have become three points more vigorous.

Chen Mu is like an old farmer waiting for leeks to grow, looking forward to it every day.

"Yunshan is not in the City God Temple?"

Chen Mu used his divine power of listening, but found that the temple keeper Yunshan was not stationed in the temple.

All the strange monsters before were attracted and driven away by this person, but now he has disappeared.

"I have captured all the monsters around Zhang'an County, so why are you going to search for monsters in more distant places?"

Chen Mu thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood.

"Tsk!"

"I think I have done my part to protect the country and the people."

"Now that I think about it, I, a living god who escaped from my post, am actually doing a pretty good job, hehe..."

……

One night, Chen Mu was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound beside his ear, as if someone was whispering.

He activated his divine power of listening and opened his eyes. With the thatched hut as the center, all the sounds in the forest and mountains within a radius of twenty miles came to his ears.

"Illusion?"

Chen Mu frowned.

After searching back and forth several times, we found no other unusual sounds except for the strange calls of nocturnal animals.

After that, the weather was calm for several days. The faint whispers seemed to be just hallucinations after falling into a daze that night.

A few more days.

Chen Mu got up in the morning, washed, ate, and started his day of practice as usual.

Practice the innate qi in reverse, visualize the basic diagram of Tao, reshape the jade seed, use the giant spirit god to perform the soul-recovering and soul-restoring technique to absorb the soul-recovering soup and soul-nourishing wine, and quickly feed back to oneself. The series of practice steps are fluent.

After finishing his training, Chen Mu casually glanced at the experience on the gray wall, but was stunned.

"After practicing for one time, the experience points of Soul Reincarnation Technique will increase by thirty points?"

“That’s not right.”

In the past, when the giant spirit used the Soul Recovery Technique to feed back to itself, it would only gain eight or nine points of experience each time.

But now...

"It's because the amount of vital energy absorbed by the giant spirit is increasing! To be more precise, my own vital energy is inexplicably depleted!" Chen Mu's heart suddenly jumped.

Because of this, the giant spirit will absorb more vital energy to feed back to itself, which will lead to a significant increase in the experience of the Soul-Recovering Technique.

"Taoism cultivation consumes vital energy, mainly because it requires a large amount of mana to be trained in reverse to cultivate the innate energy."

"The amount of innate qi I have extracted has not changed in the past few days. It is impossible that my cultivation of the Tao foundation has caused a loss of vital energy."

"Something is sucking my spirit and essence out of thin air!"

He immediately thought of the strange whisper he heard late at night a few days ago.

Weird monster!

It must be some kind of evil monster!
Chen Mu immediately used his divine power of listening to explore the surrounding area inch by inch, with the thatched cottage on the hillside as the center.

But after searching for an hour, no trace of the evil monster was found.

White fog, human-headed dark insects, strange roars, nothing at all.

Instead, I found that the animals and plants in the mountains were inexplicably listless.

"These animals and plants are weakening right under my nose, and I have turned a blind eye to it for the past five or six days?" Chen Mu felt awe in his heart.

In the past few months, he had hunted and killed dozens of strange monsters in succession, and he no longer took them seriously.

But the current situation immediately made Chen Mu alert.

It’s not that the monsters aren’t scary, but those that were hunted before were just small and insignificant monsters.

No wonder Yunshan disappeared!
This old guy didn't go out to look for evil monsters at all, but he knew that a big evil guy was coming, so he ran away in advance!

What a fucking bastard!
Chen Mu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"We can't stay in this place anymore."

Unable to find or see, one cannot do anything to the other party, but the other party can secretly absorb one's spiritual energy and essence.

It's like a frog in boiling water. If you don't get away from it quickly, you might be sucked dry silently one day!

……

After moving the entire thatched hut into Qiandeng City, Chen Mu turned into a ray of golden light in a moment and flew rapidly towards the depths of Yunwu Mountain.

After running for five hundred miles and getting far away from Zhang'an County, Chen Mu dropped his escape light and appeared in a deep mountain forest.

He was not sure whether he had gotten rid of the evil monster, so he did not rush to set up camp and immediately went into Thousand Lights City.

The next morning.

Chen Mu, who had not slept all night, appeared again.

Reverse the river cart, visualize the Dao base diagram, let the giant spirit absorb vital energy to strengthen the foundation, and a set of routine practice begins.

Chen Mu stared at the gray wall.

However, he discovered that the experience gained from the Soul-Restoring Technique was even more than yesterday, an increase of fifty-three points.

"I rested in Qiandeng City for a day, but the loss of my energy and vitality has increased instead of decreasing?"

"That damn thing... could it be next to me?!"

Chen Mu just felt cold all over.
