My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 816 Great Supplement
"The city lords of Misty Ridge were able to open up the mist and establish cities all by relying on the power of divine weapons?"

night.

Inside the courtyard.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair under the burdock tree as usual, looking at the sky with only faint light, lost in thought about the news he had heard that afternoon.

Rumors say that Lu Gong is unparalleled in divine power, relying on the most ordinary supernatural strength to overcome all obstacles and establish White Bird City.

Therefore, everyone says that there are no bad supernatural abilities, only bad people.

Looking back now, the divine weapon was the main reason for its establishment of White Bird City.

Without a divine weapon, he couldn't possibly withstand the omnipresent mist of Misty Ridge, let alone stop the elusive black wind.

As for why no one mentioned it before...

"It's highly likely that Lu Gong deliberately concealed it," Chen Mu realized.

Unaware of the secrets behind the divine weapon, the people of White Bird City only saw their city lord as incredibly powerful.

But what if we knew that the city lord's divine power came entirely from an external object...?

Hey, that old Lu Gong is nothing but a swindler who sells his wares!

"White Bird City is going to be lively for a while now," Chen Mu chuckled.

Previously, it was only outsiders who coveted the unclaimed divine weapon, but now that the news has spread throughout White Bird City, the locals will certainly not remain indifferent.

The temptation to build a city and become a local tyrant is hard to resist.

"It has little to do with me." Chen Mu shrugged, not really caring.

Whether it's the Qi Refining Path or the Heavenly Demon Path, he has a solid foundation. As long as he cultivates step by step, his future is bright.

He doesn't care much about any external object, no matter how powerful it is.

"Well, I can take some time to eat some melon seeds and watch some drama, hehe."

……

As expected, Chen Mu's guess came true.

Within a few days, Qing'anfang was in an uproar.

Many people formed teams and ran out of the city to search for the divine weapon, and the number of customers at Fanlou Restaurant decreased by 30%.

Why don't you go?

That day, Chen Mu ran into Xu Gui again at Fanlou.

The other person's eyes were glazed over, clearly indicating they had drunk quite a bit. Two bright red lipstick marks were visible on their chubby face.

"What a waste of time."

"Isn't the whole point of vying for divine weapons and achieving great deeds to enjoy life?"

"I can enjoy it right now, why should I risk my life?" Xu Gui said lazily.

Tsk.

I'm afraid of death.

You talk as if you're so insightful.

Chen Mu had a subtle expression on his face.

"Yes, I'm afraid of dying, so what?" Xu Gui said with an air of nonchalance.

"There's only one divine weapon, and so many people are vying for it; only the strongest among them will have a chance of succeeding."

"I'm just a nobody, and all I know is the most basic superhuman strength. How many people can I possibly defeat?"

"If we really go, we might not even come back alive. We might as well stay in the city and enjoy the show."

They're quite self-aware.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

Unfortunately, people who can see reality as clearly as Xu Gui are truly rare.

"Why didn't you go?" Xu Gui looked at Chen Mu strangely. "You came to White Bird City for the divine weapon, didn't you?"

"Did I come to White Bird City only for the divine weapon?"

"Otherwise, what else would you want if not a divine weapon?"

"Are you after Whitebird City because it's remote, barren, or that low-level supernatural power?" Xu Gui sneered.

"Can't we just enjoy the peace and tranquility here?"

"Guess whether I believe you or not." Xu Gui glanced at Chen Mu.

Tsk.

To be honest, nobody believes it anymore.

Chen Mu chuckled softly.

……

Deep within White Bird Castle.

There is a thatched cottage beside a lake surrounded by a small hill.

Lu Gong sat under a big tree in front of the thatched hut, gazing at the seemingly calm lake in a daze.

He was dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, and he didn't look like a city lord, but rather like an old farmer from the mountains.

"Lord of the City, the news of the divine weapon is spreading like wildfire. Should we... also get involved?" A tall, thin old man dressed in a purple robe with gold thread and his hair neatly combed asked, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Didn't you, as the deputy city lord, already order the city defense battalion to leave the city?"

"How much more do you want to get involved?" Lu Gong glanced at the purple-robed elder and spoke calmly.

"Your subordinate wishes to find divine weapons for the city lord to strengthen White Bird City," the purple-robed elder said respectfully.

"After serving as deputy city lord for so many years, don't you want to be promoted?" Lu Gong glanced at the man in purple. "As a member of the Qin family, the city lords of Santu City, you and I both know why you've been relegated to the position of deputy city lord in this rural area of ​​mine for so many years."

"Although I am old, I am still some years away from dying in battle."

"Now that you have an unclaimed divine weapon, your Qin family doesn't want it anymore?"

"Qin Yue, if you want to find the divine weapon, I won't stop you," Lu Gong said calmly, withdrawing his gaze.

"But if you want me to help you... heh."

"The Qin family is willing to give you a fragment of a divine weapon to help prolong your life." Qin Yue showed no fear of being exposed, but instead spoke calmly.

"So willing to part with it?" Lu Gong looked at Qin Yue in surprise.

Immediately, a playful smile appeared on his face.

"I remember, the current city lord of Santu City is not young either."

"The Three Paths Divine Weapons have been passed down for three generations. Are they about to collapse?"

"No wonder your Qin family is in such a hurry."

"With the divine weapon destroyed, the City of Three Paths will cease to exist. You'll have no choice but to start from scratch," Lu Gong said gloatingly.

"I humbly request Lord Lu's permission." Qin Yue bowed again, his face still respectful.

"Tsk!"

"Let's talk about it when you bring the things to me."

……

Every day, newcomers venture into the Misty Forest from White Bird City, and for hundreds of miles around, people are searching the mountains for divine weapons.

The divine weapon was also strange, as if it were playing hide-and-seek with people.

Whenever someone discovers its traces, it suddenly disappears by the time they arrive.

This did not deter treasure hunters; on the contrary, it fueled their fervor.

More people are getting involved.

Outside, life was bustling and noisy, but Chen Mu's life remained the same, and he continued his daily cultivation routine.

It happened on such an ordinary afternoon.

As Chen Mu recited the Rootless Sutra as usual, a cold and mysterious aura suddenly emerged.

He stared at the special aura that was invisible and intangible yet clearly perceptible, without making any attempt to reach out and touch it.

Just watch it until it slowly disappears.

A moment later, Chen Mu summoned the gray stone door and looked at the newly appeared entry.

Rootless Sutra: 1/10000;

"It seems that it really is just for the purpose of attracting supernatural powers."

He carefully examined the feedback from the stone gate and felt relieved.

He had previously worried that the Rootless Scripture might be a trap, but now both the feedback from the Stone Gate and the instinctive reaction of the Yin Spirit Embryo indicate that the supernatural power is safe and controllable.

"Then let's see what it's good for."

Chen Mu composed himself and began reciting the Rootless Sutra once more.

This time, he carefully sensed it and discovered that the invisible energy intertwined, vaguely pointing to the depths of White Bird City.

"Is the White Bird Divine Soldier there?"

Chen Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

After a while.

The same chilling aura as before reappeared.

Without further hesitation, Chen Mu enveloped it with his Yin Spirit Divine Power and slowly pulled it into the secret acupoint between his eyebrows.

The restless spirit embryo, which had been agitated for a long time, couldn't wait to exert its power and sucked in the cold aura in an instant.

Like rain after a long drought, the Yin Spirit Embryo felt a surge of joy.

The flames of delusions and emotions surrounding the divine embryo bead swayed and danced, their power and size more than doubling!
how to say.

It felt like taking a bite of a delicious, spicy, and appetizing main dish.

The result was that my appetite was greatly increased!

"The Yin Spirit Embryo seems to be able to absorb even more Netherworld Energy!"

Chen Mu's eyes widened involuntarily.

The Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body is similar to the Yin Spirits of the Underworld. The Divine Embryo is the foundation of the Yin Spirits, and it is also the foundation of the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body.

It is like a seed; watering it with nether energy will allow it to grow and transform, eventually becoming a spirit of the underworld.

Originally similar to a Qi Refining Foundation, its growth follows a natural rhythm, with a daily limit on the absorption of Netherworld Qi. Once this limit is reached, the Divine Embryo will not continue to consume more Netherworld Qi, no matter how much is provided.

But after absorbing a wisp of supernatural power, the divine embryo began to crave more Netherworld energy?!
In other words...

"It can accelerate the transformation of the divine embryo!"

"This……"

"Why isn't this accelerated Qi Refining Foundation stage?!" Chen Mu exclaimed, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"I am a legitimate Qi cultivator."

"How come practicing these unorthodox methods is actually smoother than practicing the orthodox Qi cultivation?"

"Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body, you've caused me so much trouble!" Chen Mu complained, grinning from ear to ear, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
