My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 751 Fetal Breath
The city of Jinhe was calm and peaceful, and Chen Mu spent his days at the bottom of the well pondering the chain spell.

As Lingbao's understanding of the cardinal method deepened, he gradually discerned the silver patterns within the chains.

That day, a series of insights suddenly flooded into my mind.

Chen Mu suddenly came to his senses and summoned the gray stone door.

Soul-Locking Spell: 3/10000;
"A spell that can seal away spirits and deities?"

"Finally, we've made some progress." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Through his continuous exploration over the past few days, he discovered that the chain was densely covered with ghostly patterns. While it appeared to be just an ordinary chain, its internal protective structure was far more intricate than the protective spells of Tangshan Academy. He often spent an entire day pondering it, only to find nothing.

Now things are great; the Spirit-Locking Spell is on the list. With continued exploration, I can quickly master this spell, and perhaps then break free from the invisible bonds.

"Thanks to my diligence, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to master this spell so quickly," Chen Mu said with a satisfied expression.

Shimen?

Ah!
If it's really that powerful, why didn't it let me master the perfect level of the Spirit Locking Spell?
So, this little stone gate only provided a little bit of assistance; the main thing was still my own hard work!
Chen Mu snorted shamelessly, his face full of smugness.

……

Half a month later.

South of Jinhe City, on the banks of Xian'an Pond.

Thick, black, serpentine streaks of smoke darted underwater, chasing and swallowing the silver-scaled fish.

The blood, flesh, and essence of the silver-scaled fish were absorbed by the Five Ghost Bag, and the Yin-Yang Worms inside died along with it. Then, countless black, smoke-like ghosts, each the size of a human head, burst out of the Five Ghost Bag with a series of bangs.

Unbeknownst to them, Chen Mu and the others had been trapped in Jinhe City for over three months. The first batch of silver-scaled fish had matured, and the Yin-Ming worms parasitizing within them had also grown to a certain extent. Now, after the cycle of life and death, most of them had successfully transformed into Yin spirits.

"Seven thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, tsk..." Chen Mu smacked his lips, accepting it helplessly.

Compared to luring and capturing spirits, this number is very small.

“Du Yuan, this is only the first batch. There aren’t enough fish fry, and the fish aren’t getting enough golden algae to eat.”

"The next batch will be just right, and its total number will be at least three times that of this batch of silver-scaled fish!" Tang Zong said confidently.

"Three times? Really?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

"Of course!" Tang Zong solemnly assured.

Three times... that's more than 24,000 silver-scaled fish.

Even if some of the Yin-Yang Insects fail to transform, at least 20,000 more Yin Souls will be added. At that time, the total number of Yin Soul Monsters will reach more than 120,000, and the power of the Gates of Hell will surely increase greatly!
Chen Mu did a quick calculation and nodded in satisfaction.

"Director, once the next batch of silver-scaled fish matures, will we be able to leave this place?" Tang Zong asked Chen Mu tentatively, feigning hope.

"It's still early." Chen Mu shook his head helplessly.

The power of the Gates of Hell has indeed increased significantly.

but……

"You've felt that invisible binding force before; it's tough and persistent, not easy to deal with."

We were a bit too optimistic before.

He'd been pondering the Dragon Binding Chains these past few days, but after a whole day, he'd only managed to gain a little over sixty experience points. By the time the next batch of Silverscaled Fish matured, he'd probably only be able to gain more than half of the Soul-Locking Spell experience.

Trying to break free from these invisible constraints... is difficult!

Is it difficult to handle?
That's why it's not going to be easy!

Seeing Chen Mu's unpleasant expression, Tang Zong was filled with disappointment, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

If you really figure it out and run away, then I'll be the one in big trouble!
“Director, my second uncle is quite knowledgeable about restrictions. Why don’t we have him lend you a hand?” Tang Zong suggested, his eyes darting around.

"Forget it, that thing is quite different from ordinary restrictions," Chen Mu waved his hand and refused.

The chains are made of Yin-Yang Ghost Patterns, which are generally of little use to Qi Refiners.

What a pity.

Tang Zong was disappointed.

Helping was just an excuse; he simply wanted to keep track of the progress in breaking the Dragon Lock Well.

"Take good care of the fish. The more and better the silver-scaled fish you raise, the sooner we can leave this place," Chen Mu comforted him.

Raising fish? Haha!

"Your Excellency, just watch and see, I will definitely take good care of myself." Tang Zong immediately made a solemn promise.

Chen Mu looked at Tang Zong suspiciously.

I have a feeling this guy's emotions are a bit strange.

But thinking about the newly captured spirits that needed to be dealt with, and the endless Soul-Locking Curse, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Once he was sure no one had escaped, he immediately returned to the Golden Pool Pavilion.

……

The entrance to the second floor of Jinchi Pavilion.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair, the Five Ghosts Bag hanging on his chest, and a wisp of black smoke the size of a human head floating in mid-air.

The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed was planted, and the Danshan Scripture and Jade Gate Mantra were passed on to each of them one by one. A familiar process quickly unfolded.

Before long, the newly born ghostly creatures were brought under control.

Chen Mu examined the ghostly spirit before him, somewhat dissatisfied.

Mature Yin spirits are at least half a person's height, but the newly acquired Yin spirits are only the size of a human head. The Yin Nether Worms are only in their initial stages of maturity, and the Yin spirits they transform into are relatively weak.

"Fortunately, as long as there is enough Yin-Yang Jade Dew, the growth of the Yin Soul is quite rapid, and it will only take a month or two at most."

Chen Mu focused his consciousness into the Five Ghosts Bag to examine the Yama True Aperture Ghost Pattern inside.

More than a month has passed since the last time the ghost mark was infused. Its power has been largely depleted, but it can still be effective.

“If it were the previous split version, it would probably have crashed and become unusable by now,” Chen nodded with satisfaction.

He immediately began to skillfully cast the incantation of the Netherworld, preparing to implant the new Yama True Aperture Ghost Pattern.

After all, there are more than 7,000 newly acquired Yin spirits that need to be fed with Jade Dew, so improving the Jade Dew conversion efficiency even a little bit will help.

But before he could send the cold power from his palm into the Five Ghosts Bag, his brow began to throb.

hum!
The Yin Spirit Divine Embryo Orb, which had been obediently residing in the secret acupoint between the eyebrows, suddenly hummed, and the power of the Yama True Acupoint Ghost Pattern in the palm was instantly drawn into the center of the eyebrows.

Boom!

Boom!

bang bang bang...

A series of loud heartbeats echoed in my mind, and the divine embryo pearl seemed to expand and contract rhythmically, as if breathing.

His entire body of Yin spiritual power was quickly absorbed by the divine embryo. Then... a gray mist appeared out of thin air around the divine embryo.

"What...what's going on?"

Chen Mu immediately focused his mind on the secret acupoint between his eyebrows and discovered a ring of gray mist around the divine embryo.

The divine embryo itself, like the moon, floated quietly in the gray misty sea.

That heart-pounding feeling has disappeared, but the divine embryo is completely different now.

Although it is completely still, it looks as if it is breathing and full of life!
"This is... the Nine Apertures Realm of Yin Spirit Embryonic Breathing?!"

"How could the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo have advanced inexplicably?" Chen Mu was filled with surprise.

The first step in the cultivation of spirits is to understand one's mind and see the divine, which is achieved by tempering with yin fire to stimulate the awakening of ghost patterns.

The second step is to return to the source and refine the ghost pattern with weak water to form a divine embryo.

The third step is embryonic breathing through the nine orifices, using secret methods to refine the divine embryo and open the innate nine orifices.

Once the nine orifices are opened, the power of the Yin spirit can be refined into Netherworld Qi, which in turn stimulates the growth of the Yin spirit and eventually transforms it into a Yin deity.

This step is similar to the Qi Refiner's Spiritual Treasure and the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique for creating artifacts.

"But I haven't practiced any secret techniques for tempering the divine embryo."

"Just because he absorbed a Yama True Aperture Ghost Pattern, the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo suddenly cultivated the Nine Apertures of Fetal Breathing?"

Chen Mu was completely bewildered.
