My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 815 Divine Weapon
"What exactly is supernatural power?"

"Why would the Yin Spirit Embryo be stirring?"

After seeing off the Duocai and Duobao brothers, Chen Mu fell into deep thought.

According to the consensus in Misty Ridge, the source of supernatural power comes from the city lords of each city, and the scriptures are the secret techniques for channeling supernatural power.

White Bird City possesses the "Rootless Sutra," while Formless City possesses the "One Heart Sutra." Because the city lords have different supernatural powers, the scriptures also differ. By diligently reciting the scriptures, one can attract supernatural powers.

This power can not only protect oneself from the black wind's attacks, but also awaken one's own supernatural talents.

Having been in White Bird City for over a year, this wasn't the first time Chen Mu had heard of this matter. However, due to his fear of the hidden dangers of the scriptures, he had always kept his distance from the "Rootless Scripture."

But today, after being in close contact with supernatural power, the Yin Spirit Embryo actually developed a craving response.

"Should we give it a try?" Chen Mu hesitated.

For several days in a row, he couldn't make up his mind.

Therefore, he specifically sought out the two brothers, Duo Cai and Duo Bao, and asked them to postpone their departure from White Bird City.

He gave me a large bag of longevity rice as a commission, and every day I did nothing but recite the Heart Sutra to receive supernatural powers.

Then Chen Mu focused on sensing these supernatural powers, and each time he did so, he caused the Yin Spirit Embryo to vibrate.

This is not finished.

He spent a large sum of longevity rice and asked the Duocai and Duobao brothers to act as intermediaries to contact several locals in Qing'anfang, Bai Niao City.

Then, under the guise of observing others' supernatural powers to aid in the awakening of his own, he closely sensed how several people used the "Rootless Sutra" to guide the supernatural power of the White Bird City.

These people included men, women, children, and the elderly; one of them was even a soldier from the city's defense battalion.

The result was the same as before: as long as supernatural power appeared in his perception, the Yin Spirit Embryo would become restless.

……

Under the burdock tree in the courtyard.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair, gazing at the sky shrouded in a hazy mist.

"It is highly likely to be beneficial to the Yin Spirit Embryo."

"Just like Daoji's reaction to demonic energy during the hazy weather."

“In that case…” Chen Mu reached out and picked up the blue-covered book, “The Rootless Sutra,” from the low table beside him.

"Then let's give it a try!"

He took a deep breath, sat up, opened the Rootless Sutra, and began to read the entire text carefully for the first time.

Fifteen minutes later.

On the surface, it is an ordinary scripture about cultivating spiritual consciousness and self-discipline.

"But in reality..."

Chen Mu couldn't help but grin as he felt the inexplicable, subtle, and unique aura emanating from around him.

"It's starting to feel more and more like my Eastern Longevity Manual."

He couldn't help but look inward again at the Yin Spirit Embryo in the secret acupoint between his eyebrows.

"Please don't you dare mess with me."

He took a deep breath and continued reciting the "Rootless Sutra".

……

Since deciding to explore the mysteries of supernatural powers, Chen Mu has spent a lot of time reciting the "Rootless Sutra" every day.

However, he did not neglect his normal cultivation. He continued to refine his Qi in the morning, but devoted most of the time he spent in the afternoon studying the refining technique of the Exquisite Jade Disc to the Rootless Scripture.

Unfortunately, after chanting for seven or eight days, there was still no effect.

One can only vaguely sense that reciting scriptures in a continuous manner can indeed outline some hidden charm.

According to the teachings of Misty Ridge, one must recite scriptures to transform into countless forms before supernatural powers will naturally arise.

"Lord Lu's divine power has declined due to old age. If he wants to summon supernatural powers, he will probably need to recite more than 100,000 scriptures."

"Let's keep practicing," Chen Mu said, unhurried.

As for changing the One Heart Sutra...

"Then forget it."

If he were to actually use the "One Heart Sutra" to summon supernatural powers, he would have to leave White Bird City, otherwise he would be suppressed and rejected by the city lord's supernatural abilities.

That's why the two brothers, Duocai and Duobao, left White Bird City.

To outsiders, White Bird City is remote and barren, unlikely to change much in the future, and therefore has little future.

But this peace and tranquility is exactly what Chen Mu needs.

……

Misty Ridge enjoys a spring-like climate year-round with no significant climate changes.

Days passed by, but I didn't feel the passage of time.

That day, Chen Mu stood in the center of the courtyard.

The five paper ghost figures worked together to carry a large stack of exquisite jade plates, flying around the courtyard and placing one down every three to five meters.

In no time, as many as thirty-nine were arranged in a neat and orderly fashion throughout the courtyard.

Chen Mu raised his hand and scattered a handful of white jade coins, which fell one by one into the center of the exquisite jade plate. Wisps of earth spirit energy slowly appeared around each exquisite jade plate.

The Dao Foundation Jade Seed hummed, and the earth's spiritual energy that filled the courtyard was slowly absorbed and refined by Chen Mu.

Having lost most of his magical power in the morning by refining pure yang energy, he began to slowly recover.

"At this rate, it will take about half a day to replenish the consumed mana."

"The ethereal demonic energy takes half an hour, while the celestial primordial energy only takes a quarter of an hour."

"In comparison, this method is far inferior in both quality and quantity, but... but at least it proves that this path is feasible!" Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

And this is only thirty-nine exquisite jade plates.

What if it's ninety-three yuan? What if it's three hundred and ninety yuan...?

"Tsk tsk, this courtyard is still too small." Chen Mu chuckled as he looked around.

The exquisite jade plates can be stacked, but not like a human pyramid. They must be separated by a distance of three to five meters to function properly.

"That's right, the Linglong Tianji Spell is about stealing the energy of heaven and earth for one's own use."

"The amount of energy contained in the same space is limited. No matter how many jade plates are added, it is impossible to create something from nothing."

"The raw materials are limited, so the output is naturally finite," Chen Mu realized.

"hehe."

"I won't have to worry about cultivation energy anymore, and I won't have to rush to leave White Bird City." Chen Mu felt completely relaxed.

Since arriving here by accident, he has been thinking about leaving Misty Ridge because his accumulated demonic energy is limited and he needs to cultivate his qi.

The reason for hiring the Duo Cai and Duo Bao brothers to collect information about Misty Ridge was for this purpose.

Now that he has enough energy, he can stay in White Bird City indefinitely, and may even stay until he has cultivated his primordial spirit before leaving.

Misty Ridge is still somewhat eerie, and he was a little hesitant to explore it now.

But if one cultivates the primordial spirit...

"Hmph, whatever the mist and black wind, I'll just wade through them!"

……

Somewhere in the misty forest.

A middle-aged man in gray was running quickly through the forest, with howls and screams echoing behind him.

"Damn it, I should have bought a few more life-saving incense sticks!"

He dared not look back, feeling as if the black wind was about to lick the back of his head, so he could only run for his life with his head down.

I don't know how far I ran. Suddenly, my body felt a chill, as if I had passed through an invisible film of moisture.
Suddenly, everything became clear and bright. The thick fog that had been shrouding the forest vanished in an instant.

He ran several hundred meters in a daze before gradually coming to his senses and stopping.

Looking up, you see lush green forests everywhere, and you can even clearly see the mountain peaks in the far distance.

Looking back, they discovered that the mist that had always permeated the forest was being blocked by some unknown force.

The serpentine black wind demon that was chasing him just moments ago is now angrily ramming against the invisible barrier, but it can't get through no matter what it does.

"This power..."

"Only the city lord could possess such supernatural powers."

"But this place is at least three or four hundred miles away from White Bird City. Can the city lord's divine might really reach that far?"

He looked around in confusion.

A rumor I'd heard long ago slowly surfaced in my mind.

"Could it be that a new... unclaimed divine weapon has been created here?!"

His eyes lit up immediately.

"Legend has it that Lord Lu obtained a divine weapon through a fortuitous encounter, which greatly increased his divine power and enabled him to establish White Bird City."

"If I could master this divine weapon..."

His face flushed with excitement, he glanced back at the mist behind him, and resolutely walked into the depths of the forest!
……

Fanlou.

Chen Mu sat at a square table by the window, slowly chewing on a roasted burdock bead.

Downstairs, a squad of heavily armored and armed guards marched in orderly steps across the street toward the city outskirts.

"What major event has occurred in Qing'an Ward?" Chen Mu asked curiously, as it was rare to see such a large number of city defense soldiers.

"What else could it be? Go treasure hunting, of course." A chubby young man opposite Chen Mu curled his lip.

This man's name is Xu Gui, and he is Chen Mu's neighbor.

He had previously spent money to observe supernatural powers, and Xu Gui was one of those people.

The other party often frequented Fanlou, and Chen Mu would run into him almost every time he came. Over time, they became acquaintances.

"Treasure hunting?"

"What treasures could there be in White Bird City?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

"You're quite the actor." Xu Gui rolled his eyes at Chen Mu.

"If you don't know, then why did you come to White Bird City?"

What does this have to do with me?
Chen Mu looked completely bewildered.

"Alright, you don't need to hide it anymore." Xu Gui waved his hand.

"The news has already spread. You outsiders, aren't you just looking for the divine weapon?"

"What is a divine weapon?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

I came here looking for a divine weapon, how come I don't know about it?
"Yes, it's that divine weapon that allows whoever controls it to establish a new city."

"The people who have come to White Bird City in the past two years are all looking for that thing." Xu Gui had an expression that said, "You don't need to explain."

Divine weapon?

To open up a new city?
Chen Mu was immediately astonished.

Having been in White Bird City for over a year, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing as a divine weapon.

"White Bird City is just a remote corner of Misty Ridge, isolated from information, and few people know about the divine weapon."

"This time, someone accidentally entered the divine weapon's barrier, causing a commotion. The news spread far and wide, and that's how everyone found out about it," Xu Gui remarked with an air of newfound knowledge.

"Unfortunately, the divine weapon appeared almost at White Bird City's doorstep, but it was you outsiders who discovered the clues first."

"Lord Lu is indeed getting old," he couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Mu didn't speak, but his ears perked up, and his supernatural hearing enveloped the entire Fanlou.

Various discussions about the divine weapon immediately reached my ears.

"Did the city lord's divine power come from the divine weapon?"

"My previous understanding of supernatural powers doesn't seem to be quite accurate," Chen Mu said thoughtfully.
