My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 748 Yin Spirit
Several days later, at night.

The light of the twenty-four bright pearls in the sky dimmed, resembling twenty-four smaller full moons.

On the banks of Xian'an Pond in the south of Jinhe City, inside a three-courtyard house, Tang Zong was preparing to enter meditation as usual. But he had only closed his eyes for a short while when a bright light suddenly flashed before his eyes.

He frowned and opened his eyes, only to find the flickering firelight shining into the room through the silk window paper.

on fire?

Tang Zong was puzzled and immediately got up to open the door. He looked up and saw a blazing fire in the center of the courtyard. At the same time, more than ten people dressed in gray with disheveled hair were dancing around the fire with their backs to him.

Why would someone stay up all night, run into their own yard, light a fire, and dance around, disturbing their own cultivation?
How dare you!

Tang Zong frowned, about to reprimand the crowd, but they suddenly stopped moving.

Then, like a puppet on strings, its head rotated 180 degrees, and it stared intently at Tang Zong with a strange, greedy, and eager look.

Those eerie smiling faces flickered in the firelight, creating an exceptionally chilling effect.

Tang Zong felt a sudden chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious monster. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately tried to use magic to escape.

As soon as the rainbow light spread out, an invisible force appeared around him.

The power was like deep-sea ice, firmly binding him in place. No matter how much his magical power surged and vibrated, he was unable to move at all.

Meanwhile, those strange, smiling men walked up to Tang Zong with smirks.

The greed in his eyes, as if he were looking at food, chilled Tang Zong to the bone.

……

late at night.

Jinchi Pavilion.

Chen Mu once again ended his exploration of the dragon-binding chains at the bottom of the well and summoned the stone door.

Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: 9013/10000/Eighth Order;

"Although I still can't penetrate the inner part of the magic restriction, at least I can improve my experience with the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Technique." He shrugged rather easily.

These past few days, he has been constantly testing with the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Method. The solid, icy wall that was originally blocking his way is still there, but it has been warmed up a bit, and he can now observe some fragmented ghost patterns.

"We can gain some insight now through persistent effort, and once the Lingbao Cardinal Technique advances to the next level, we will definitely make even greater progress!"

"Perhaps we can uncover the secret of this hollow spring then." Chen Mu chuckled as he glanced at the water sphere in front of the dragon head sculpture. A flash of golden light, and it vanished.

……

Chen Mu's figure appeared in the main hall on the first floor of Jinchi Pavilion.

Just as he was about to return to the second floor as usual to continue studying the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter, he looked up and found that the hall, which should have been pitch black, was now brightly lit.

The once empty hall was now filled with many tables and furniture, and a large group of men and women dressed in various styles were sitting behind the tables, feasting and drinking.

Is this still Jinchi Pavilion?

Will I be inexplicably pulled into another cave again?

Chen Mu looked completely bewildered.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

These people were not surprised at all; instead, they nodded and waved to greet him, as if they all knew Chen Mu.

The elderly man with snow-white hair and beard, who was sitting at the head of the table, got up and left the table. Holding two bronze wine cups, he went straight to Chen Mu.

"Lord Tang, you're late this time, you must drink the penalty cup!" The old man chuckled as he handed the wine cup to Chen Mu.

A refreshing aroma of wine wafted towards me.

Chen Mu snapped out of his daze, glanced at the old man expressionlessly, and then looked around at everyone.

He found these people to be sincere and smiling, but a chill ran through him for no reason.

Chen Mu suddenly thought of a word—"watching like a tiger!"
"What, is this wine not to your liking?" The old man held up the wine cup with a smile on his face, but his voice gradually turned cold.

"Lord, please don't spoil everyone's fun."

The once lively banquet fell silent instantly, everyone staring blankly at Chen Mu. "What if I spoil this fun?" Chen Mu said calmly.

"Then I can only atone with your life." The old man's smile remained, but as he smiled, his lips suddenly split open to his ears. Fine, sharp teeth, tinged with blood, were revealed, and a chilling, eerie aura suddenly spread.

“Of course I can apologize,” Chen Mu suddenly smiled.

"But since you've taken over my room for a banquet, shouldn't you pay the venue fee first?"

"I don't want your lives, I just want you to accept my spiritual seed and serve me for a hundred years."

"It's very simple, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, and then their figures changed dramatically.

They grew sharp teeth and scales on their skin. The old man in front of them opened his jaws wide enough to fit a millstone, as if he wanted to swallow Chen Mu whole.

At the same time, an unseen, immense force suddenly descended, like the pressure of water at the bottom of the ocean, instantly imprisoning Chen Mu in place.

"A qi barrier that can be maintained for a hundred miles?"

"what!"

"I thought I was just imagining things, but I didn't expect you guys to actually be spirits!"

The Decree of Yama, the King of Hell!
An invisible wave suddenly spread out, and the crowd that had been baring its fangs and charging forward just moments before was instantly frozen in place, like mosquitoes trapped in amber.

"There are actually evil spirits in Golden River City, and they even dare to rush up to me?"

"This isn't like a meat bun being served to you... ptooey, it's like a pillow being delivered to you when you're sleepy!"

Chen Mu suddenly waved his hand, and golden sand-like Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds were splashed out.

The spirit seeds, like living things, scattered like stars across the sky, darting into the bodies of numerous strangely shaped Yin spirits.

Black smoke immediately billowed from everyone's bodies, then their skins exploded into black smoke clouds, which then flew in a line to Chen Mu and obediently crawled into the Five Ghosts Bag.

In just a few dozen breaths, everyone in the Golden Pool Pavilion disappeared.

The heavy pressure on Chen Mu disappeared, and he slowly walked up to the old man with a mouthful of sharp teeth.

A seed of celestial demon spirit was pressed against the other's brow, slowly drilling inside.

The other person's wide-open mouth closed, but the corners of their mouth were already cracked.

He stood motionless, trembling all over, his eyes wide open, instinctively resisting.

However, it only blocked for a few dozen breaths. After being strengthened multiple times by the Plague Immortal Technique, the acquired demonic spirit seed finally managed to successfully enter the opponent's brow.

As the opponent transformed into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the Five Ghosts Bag, the brightly lit hall instantly returned to its dark and empty state.

The magnificent golden scene we just witnessed was clearly an illusion conjured up by this guy.

Just as Chen Mu was marveling at the scene, Tang Zong stormed into the main hall of Jinchi Pavilion, his aura filled with murderous intent.

His entire body was surging with energy, and his eyes were fierce, making him look like an angry demon.

"I didn't realize that besides being a Qi Condensation cultivator, you've also mastered a remarkable Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique." Chen Mu looked you up and down in surprise.

"It's fortunate we had this trump card, otherwise we would probably have already been killed by these treacherous creatures." Tang Zong smiled bitterly.

"Your Excellency, something strange has happened in Jinhe City. If we don't send reinforcements in time, the casualties will be heavy. What do you think..."

"That won't do. I'm counting on them to help me raise fish." Chen Mu walked happily to the front of Jinchi Pavilion.

At this moment, the once empty and dark Golden River City was brightly lit, and the streets were bustling and lively, like a city that never sleeps.

"It's really beautiful." Chen Mu said with a kind smile.

Then, Yama Tenshi caused the supernatural power to spread suddenly.

It was as if a movie had been paused, and the once bustling crowds on the street suddenly came to a standstill.

Golden sand grains drifted in the wind, and soon after, plumes of black smoke rose from all parts of the city, gathering in mid-air to form a black cloud that covered the entire city.

Looking at the dark clouds that obscured all twenty-four pearls, Chen Mu's smile grew even brighter.
