My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 764 Emperor's Slurry

The lower temple of Jiufeng Mountain is located in the southwest of Yizhou, in a remote and treacherous location. Its terrain is also treacherous and complex, thus protecting it from the chaos in the heart of Yizhou.

With Tang Zhimu and Li Chou in charge, all the daily tasks, such as cultivating spiritual fields, raising exotic beasts, and nurturing white jade, were carried out in an orderly manner, so Chen Mu didn't need to worry about them at all.

He was happy to have a peaceful life, spending his days practicing meditation in a wooden cabin on the mountaintop.

Chen Mu doesn't just cultivate diligently; he'll take a day or two off to rest after seven or eight days of seclusion.

They usually use local exotic animals, fruits, and vegetables to make side dishes to satisfy their appetites, and occasionally they will fly around the mountains to relax their minds.

The southwestern mountains of Yizhou are treacherous, creating many spectacular sights. With his current level of cultivation, there are basically no threats within a thousand miles, and he can freely travel and fly around.

Such a regular and comfortable life passed by in the blink of an eye over half a year.

……

This day, at the summit of Weizhi Peak.

Lying in the open space in front of the thatched wooden house was a strange beast resembling a deer. It was about the height of a person, with a pair of grayish-brown fleshy wings on its back, looking quite peculiar.

Chen Mu activated the Yama's Feast, and black energy carrying silver threads enveloped the winged deer, swallowing it up in just a few breaths.

The essence of flesh and blood was sent into the Five Ghosts Bag, and the thin bloodline of the demon beast was filtered out. As usual, Chen Mu used it to assist the Heavenly Demon Armor in its cultivation.

Before long, a realization came to mind.

"The Heavenly Demon Armor has advanced to the ninth level?"

"Hey! Yama's Feast is really useful!" Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

Ever since he discovered that Yama's Food Divine Power could assist the Heavenly Demon Armor in its cultivation, he has been using it.

During the previous relocation, they intercepted the dragon bone boat's prey, and after arriving at Weizhi Peak, they had Tang Zhimu acquire exotic beasts.

During each break between refining his spiritual treasures, he would devour some exotic beasts to aid the Heavenly Demon Armor. Without much deliberate extra training, the Heavenly Demon Armor entered a completely new stage.

With a thought, an invisible force appeared, enveloping Chen Mu like a large sphere three meters in diameter.

The sphere was filled with an extremely condensed innate protective energy, resembling a block of ice.

"Back then, what enveloped Tang Zong seemed to be this kind of protective aura that was more like a tangible substance."

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and by some twist of fate, a black light flew out from between his eyebrows and struck the Heavenly Demon Armor with a bang.

laugh……

As if corroded by sulfuric acid, a scarlet pit the size of a human head, radiating a scorching aura, was instantly punched into the surface of the Heavenly Demon Armor.

But the next moment, the cavity began to fill and repair itself rapidly, and it was restored to its original state in just a few breaths, much like the protective secret technique that Tang Zong had used back then.

"Tang Zong is a clone of Gang Sha, but his true body is a master comparable to a Yuan Shen Qi cultivator."

"The protective aura he activated was not much worse than that of a Nascent Soul Qi Refiner."

"The Nine-Layered Heavenly Demon Armor actually possesses similar power..."

"Hehe, what a great secret technique!"

After briefly sensing the feedback from the stone gate, Chen Mu then examined the jade seed inside his body.

Then they discovered that a layer of dark green spiritual light sphere had appeared around the golden Dao base.

"It can protect the body externally, and also provide an internal layer of protection for the Dao Foundation Jade Seed?"

"Wow... awesome!"

Previously, the Heavenly Demon Armor was able to protect spirits and deities because it could absorb energy and restrict movement for hundreds of miles.

Back in Haizhou, the Heavenly Demon Armor was used to defend against the Yellow Millet Plague, which specifically targets spirits and deities. Now, its protective capabilities are clearly even better.

Chen Mu chuckled as he summoned the gray stone door.

Heavenly Demon Armor: 4/10000/Ninth Rank;

Yellow Springs Gourd: 6520/10000/Seventh Tier;

"The heartland of Yizhou is in constant turmoil, but Jiufeng Mountain remains peaceful, which allows me to cultivate in peace."

"Choosing to settle in Jiufeng Mountain was definitely the right decision."

……

In the days that followed, Chen Mu continued his routine life. Alternating between grinding for experience and leisure time, his days became increasingly pleasant and comfortable.

Just when he thought he could live peacefully on Jiufeng Mountain for several years and master the Yellow Springs Gourd in one fell swoop, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

Late at night, the sky was cloudless, and a bright moon hung in the sky like a white jade plate.
Under the bright, clear moonlight, even the starlight seemed to dim.

Suddenly, a wisp of golden mist appeared on the edge of the full moon.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, eventually resembling viscous lava dripping from the edge of the moon.

Immediately, the golden magma exploded in mid-air, turning into fine drizzle that fell silently.

At the summit of Weizhi Peak, a clear, crisp bell sound suddenly rang out.

Chen Mu, who was practicing spiritual treasure talismans with his eyes closed inside the thatched wooden house, was suddenly awakened and looked up to see the golden rain falling all over the sky outside the window.

hum!
The Heavenly Demon Armor immediately enveloped his body. He unleashed the Jade Cicada Dao Foundation, the Five Dragons Dharma Form, and the Five Thunder Incantation. Whether his Dao Foundation was innate or his Qi Protection Secret Techniques were acquired through practice, he pushed them all to their limits.

Only after completely covering himself did Chen Mu have the mind to observe the fine drizzle falling from the sky.

"What the hell is this?"

The entire area around Weizhi Peak was quickly alerted, and many exclamations rang out from the mountainside dojo.

But everyone huddled inside the retreat, and no one dared to touch the inexplicable golden rain falling from the sky.

Fifteen minutes later, the unusual celestial phenomenon disappeared.

The moon in the sky returned to its luminous white. There was nothing left on the ground, as if nothing had ever happened.

Before long, Tang Zhimu and Li Chou arrived at the mountaintop together.

"Does the Sutra Repository have any records?" Chen Mu looked at Tang Zhimu, who had guarded the Sutra Repository at Tangshan Academy for many years and was well-versed in books.

“It might be the Emperor’s Dew.” Tang Zhimu was somewhat uncertain: “According to ancient records, a similar celestial phenomenon occurred a thousand years ago, which is said to be related to the Mysterious Heaven beyond the Sky.”

Imperial dew?
This stuff is called Emperor's Dew?!

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Back in the outer stars, he once accidentally comprehended the secret art of the Plague Immortal Technique from the magical artifact, the Plague Immortal Banner.

This method can not only control plagues and concoct poisons, but also brew a precious medicine called Emperor's Dew.

However, its refining process is quite unorthodox.

Treating all living beings as flowers and using plague as bees, after devouring and collecting the spirits of all living beings, one can then nurture and refine the Emperor's nectar, which can replenish the spirits of those who consume it.

Back in the outer heavens, Lü Yue, the sect leader of the Thousand Machines Sect, once used the plague to devour living beings and spirits, causing chaos and turmoil, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

"This golden rain falling from the sky is also called the Emperor's Dew."

Are they the same thing? Or do they just have the same name?

Chen Mu frowned.

……

Early the next morning.

Chen Mu hurriedly went to Zhaixing Peak.

As soon as he entered the Star-Picking Hall on the mountaintop, he found that in addition to Yuan Zhen, the chief academy master, there were two other Taoist priests, one old and one young.

Chen Mu knew that they were the left and right supervisors of Jiufeng Mountain, respectively guarding Wangyue Peak and Chaoyang Peak.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Mu looked eagerly at Yuan Zhen in the secluded courtyard.

"Your Excellency, what strange phenomenon happened last night..."

"Perhaps something has happened to the stars in the sky," Yuan Zhen said solemnly.

"Could it be related to the chaos in the heart of Yizhou? Isn't it said that extraterrestrial demons have descended there?" Right Supervisor Lin Tu asked. He was a young Taoist priest who looked to be in his twenties.

“No.” Yuan Zhen shook his head: “The interior of Yizhou is in chaos, with man-made disasters outweighing natural ones, and it has basically nothing to do with the outer world.”

Man-made disaster?

A member of the Yin Ghost Sect?

It seems that the Yellow Springs Sect was not entirely unaware of the internal strife in Yizhou.

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

“Those things are none of our business, let’s not discuss them too much. Let’s focus on the current situation.” Yuan Zhen waved his hand to change the subject and continued talking about the celestial phenomena last night.

"Several years ago, the Upper Academy began sending disciples to the outer realms. Now that I think about it, something must have really happened in the outer realms." The white-haired Left Supervisor Hu Sheng said solemnly.

"I've heard that Fellow Daoist Chen once guarded the outer heavens. Do you know anything about that?" Right Supervisor Lin Tu looked at Chen Mu curiously.

Chen Mu immediately thought of his experience on Bianshe Star.

At that time, demons invaded and defeated the garrisoned soldiers, forcing him to find a way to escape.

However, an unexpected incident occurred during the teleportation, causing it to fall from the heavens into Yizhou.

The demons causing trouble on Bianshe Star are from the Netherworld Demon Heaven. Isn't Emperor Liujiang related to the Mystic Heaven?

Chen Mu didn't hide anything and recounted his past experiences one by one.

Upon hearing this, the group felt heavy-hearted, but they were also completely baffled and didn't know what was going on.

"We can't control what happens outside the heavens; the elders and disciples of the Upper Academy are there to guard the area."

"For now, our priority is to defend Jiufeng Mountain," Yuan Zhen said calmly after a moment.

"I will contact the Upper House to inquire about the cause of this incident. Everyone, please remain vigilant and wait and see for the time being."

That's probably the only way.

Chen Mu nodded helplessly.
