My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 734 Suppression
Tangshan Temple is spring-like all year round, and one is unaware of the changing seasons.

On this day, a long queue appeared not far outside Tangshan.

More than a dozen long, box-shaped palanquins were linked together, resembling a long train carriage.

The outside of the box was engraved with some black leaf-like magical symbols. A slight vibration of strange energy made it smoothly cut through the wind and snow, moving forward silently.

On the eastern side of Tangshan Mountain, by the pool, the giant spirit shakes the heartless bell in his hand.

Chen Mu opened his eyes and quickly spotted the unusual procession of earth-riding chariots. However, he only glanced at them briefly.

That convoy belonged to the Sacred Heart Monastery's Ground Department, responsible for transporting supplies and personnel. They would come here every six months, bringing some supplies and taking away the silver-scaled fish raised by Tangshan Monastery.

These matters are handled by the General Affairs Council, so he doesn't need to worry about them much.

Moreover, after three or four months at Tangshan Academy, his continuously improving Yellow Spring Gourd Secret Technique had reached a critical moment, and he was even less inclined to concern himself with these trivial matters.

He glanced at it again, then closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

……

Late at night, in a forest on the western side of the valley. Dry branches and leaves creaked as a burly middle-aged man, about two meters tall, dressed in a brown, close-fitting outfit, appeared.

Through the sparse trees, he looked at the flickering lights in the distance of the valley, his expression cold.

"Qi cultivators occupy spiritual lands and endlessly absorb vital energy, harming the people of the world to enrich themselves. They are a bunch of parasites and should be buried underground!"

"This transformation into a monstrous demon to reshape the earth's veins is for the benefit of everyone in the world!" He said with a fanatical expression.

Immediately, his heart began to pound rapidly, as loud as a fully powered engine.

His whole body was steaming with heat, and his blood vessels glowed with a scarlet light, as if what flowed inside him was not blood, but molten lava.

The middle-aged man, who had seemed ordinary just moments before, suddenly exuded a terrifying aura.

"As long as Qi cultivators live, bandits will never cease!"

"Reshape the earth's veins and distribute vital energy evenly!"

"what!"

With a low shout, he seemed to inflate rapidly like a balloon.

But the next moment, a cool breeze blew in with the evening wind, and the heartbeat that had been like a drumbeat immediately began to weaken.

It's like an engine that's run out of fuel; the sound gets quieter and quieter until it finally shuts down.

The middle-aged man in brown's face, who had been so fervent, froze instantly.

"How could the Blood Bag Disintegration Technique fail?!" He frowned deeply.

According to the original plan, he should have deliberately disintegrated the blood sac to release the divine and demonic will within, and would soon have transformed into a monstrous creature.

But now...

"It must be the result of the insidious secret techniques of the Qi Refiner!" He looked at the distant lights with a face full of hatred.

"No wonder the academy master gave me this essence of the Blood of the Underworld God before I came here." The middle-aged man in brown took off a palm-sized black gourd hanging from his waist and suddenly realized.

The Underworld God Transformation Warrior absorbs the blood essence of the Underworld God into his body, refines it, and can then transform himself, thereby greatly enhancing his various supernatural abilities.

However, if too much is ingested, exceeding the digestive limit of the blood sac, it will cause the consciousness of gods and demons to go berserk and will definitely turn into an ignorant and mindless monster.

"Even if countless Qi cultivators were to perish with me, and I were to be forever condemned to the underworld, it would be worth it!"

Without hesitation, he picked up the small gourd, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

My heart was pounding wildly, my skin was glowing red, and my whole body began to swell rapidly again.

Not only that, but a dense mass of fleshy tumors suddenly grew on his neck.

The tumor grew rapidly after it appeared, and within just a few breaths, faces with different expressions appeared on it.

They swayed incessantly, screamed silently, and attacked each other, emanating a bizarre aura that could drive one insane.

The pain of his consciousness being torn apart made the middle-aged man in brown's eyes bloodshot, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"As long as Qi cultivators live, bandits will never cease! Haha, I'll be waiting for you in the Netherworld!" he shouted fervently in his heart, his eyes fixed on the distant lights.

His open mouth revealed a row of gleaming white teeth, wisps of hot air escaping from between them, his face contorted with malice.

hum!
The twelve Soul-Stabilizing Pillars, which stood quietly deep underground, trembled in unison, and a chilling power suddenly descended once more.

The lumps on the human head, emanating an eerie aura, froze instantly, as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and quickly shrank back under the skin of the neck and disappeared.

His body, which had originally swelled to more than three meters tall, shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, becoming only 1.5 meters tall in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man in brown looked completely bewildered.

No, it's one thing that it didn't swell up and transform into a monster, but how could it shrink?!
Before he could figure it out, a short, chilling laugh suddenly reached his ears.

He turned around abruptly and saw five eerie paper figures with squinting eyes, upturned lips, and wicked smiles.

He shuddered, his muscles immediately began to twitch and convulse, preparing to flee from the place.

But just as he squatted down slightly to prepare to exert force, he suddenly froze.

Suddenly, he lost control of his body, like a mosquito trapped in amber, unable to move despite his best efforts.

His eyes were even bloodshot from resisting so hard!
The next moment, countless black smoke clouds appeared around him.

The middle-aged man in brown suddenly narrowed his pupils to pinpoints.

Immediately, a short, painful scream was heard and disappeared into the evening breeze.

……

East of Tangshan, by a pool.

In front of the thatched hut, Chen Mu, who was lying in a rocking chair, opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the dark night with a puzzled expression.

"Why does it sound like someone is screaming?" He turned to look at the Giant Spirit God.

The giant spirit stood silently in place, the Heartless Bell in his hand remaining motionless.

"It seems I misheard," Chen Mu said with certainty.

Chen Mu had set a warning standard for the talisman within the Giant Spirit God's body. Since there was no reaction, it meant there was definitely no danger. Chen Mu turned his head and began to happily examine the gray stone door in front of him.

Yellow Springs Gourd: 4/10000/Tier 5;

"Roughly speaking, I have been at Tangshan Hospital for more than four months."

"We entered the new phase smoothly without any setbacks."

"This Tangshan Academy truly is my blessed place for cultivation, hehe..."

……

The next morning.

After a good night's sleep, Chen Mu, feeling refreshed and full of energy, lay in the rocking chair as usual.

The fist-sized Yangcha bone ball and the palm-length Yinchao crescent blade chased around him like fish.

The strange power swirled around him, constantly seeping into him.

In the blink of an eye, the bone shield and moon blade collided and merged rapidly, transforming into a ball of black and white light. Its surface was unremarkable, but its interior was filled with explosive energy.

"It's becoming increasingly quick and easy to activate, and the power has also increased by about two points. Not bad, not bad." Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

During any breaks in his cultivation, he would use the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Chapter to analyze the Yin-Yang Mistakes. This allowed him to gain experience with the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Chapter and enhance the power of the Yin-Yang Mistakes.

The past coincidences and the Dragon Ball's inspiration were merely forcibly combined by the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique, and can only be considered ordinary magic weapons.

Now, with the Lingbao Pivot Manual as our guide, we can delve into the internal structure of magical treasures. Combined with the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique, we can continuously resolve any internal imbalances. The magical treasure's energy becomes more harmonious, its Yin-Yang imbalances and spirituality increase, and its Yin-Yang supernatural powers are also enhanced.

"I have learned quite a few secret techniques, such as the Sunflower Water Yin Thunder and the Crimson Feather Magic Sword. But now, when it comes to the decisive killing effect, it really has to be this Yin-Yang dual energy supernatural power that was triggered by a twist of fate."

"For many years, I relied on the brute force I gained from being possessed by the Five Ghosts to win. I was crude and barbaric, not at all like a Qi cultivator."

"Now it's better. Although the pitch-black and pale yin and yang energies still look a bit creepy, at least they don't have to tear off clothes or deform."

"With a wave of my hand, the enemy chieftain turned to ashes. This is the style I should be doing."

……

a few days later.

Chen Mu made a rare appearance at Tingchao Cave.

Holding the protective jade disc of the mountain, his magical power trembled, instantly drawing out the vital energy from the bottom of the hot springs and mountain streams of all sizes within Tangshan Temple.

One by one, the silver-scaled fish rose from the bottom of the water as if they were lacking oxygen on a rainy day, and the Qi cultivators of the Lower Court who were prepared in advance immediately began to catch them.

Not long after, Tang Zong, the supervisor of the inspection bureau, entered Tingchao Cave carrying a silver-scaled fish about the length of a forearm with some purple patterns.

"You've worked hard, Doctor. This is the Silver Scale Fish King. Not only does it taste exceptional, but it also greatly nourishes the spirit of the fetus."

"The Imperial Academy has been working hard to mobilize the law and regulations this time, and it is just right for them to eat this fish to recover," Tang Zong said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

A precious fish that nourishes the spirit?
What a good thing!

Whether it's a Qi cultivator refining a spiritual treasure or a celestial demon or heretic shaping a root weapon, both consume a great deal of spiritual energy.

If one can replenish one's spiritual energy and strengthen it, cultivation will immediately become much smoother.

He had the Spirit Nourishing Wine to aid him, but others did not. This treasure fish, like the Baijiazhai Jade Needle Tea, was a rare treasure for ordinary Qi Refiners.

"No other reason?" Chen Mu looked at Tang Zong suspiciously.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation." Tang Zong clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Hmm, then your gesture is indeed rather small."

Tang Zong: "..."

"Secretly keeping 30% of the catch, and then giving me only one fish? That won't do!" Chen Mu shook his head.

Tang Zong immediately gave a sheepish smile.

"Your Excellency has such keen insight!" He said with a flattering expression, but inwardly he felt a chill.

I originally thought this abbot, who was in seclusion all day and didn't care about the facts, knew nothing. I never expected him to be so aware of our interception of the fish. He truly is a high-level cultivator at the peak of the Dao Foundation stage.

"Tell me what happened," Chen Mu asked, also somewhat curious.

“In recent years, the earth’s spiritual energy has inexplicably increased, and the production of silver-scaled fish has also increased.” Tang Zong dared not hide the truth.

“At first we thought it was just a coincidence, and we were afraid that the Sacred Heart Cathedral would increase the quota for fish catch, so we secretly withheld the portion that exceeded the quota.”

"But unexpectedly, the earth's spiritual energy has been increasing year by year, so..."

"So you all just kept it and ate it yourselves without reporting it," Chen Mu said, glancing at the other person.

"Aren't you afraid of being reported to the authorities by those people in the Earth Department?"

“They won’t,” Tang Zong chuckled.

understood.

The Ministry of Land and Resources also accepted bribes.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. This Silver Scaled Fish King is only temporary. From now on, I will send you one every month. You see..." Tang Zong gritted his teeth and said with a pained expression.

Fine.

He was just a garrison soldier, and his main purpose in coming here was to maintain the safety of the lower courtyard. He couldn't control how much silver-scaled fish were produced.

but……

"Is this the treatment you've always received since you took office as Chief of Staff?" Chen Mu glanced sideways at Tang Zong.

"Make sure you get all the King Fish that's been missing for the past few months!" he said calmly.

Tang Zong gave another awkward, self-deprecating laugh.

I originally planned to take advantage of the handover between the old and new capitals to intercept a few of the King Fish for my own enjoyment.

Now it's all over, we have to throw up everything we ate.
