I am grinding experience in another world

Qing'an Square

Under the Moonlight Tree.

Chen Mu reached out to caress the Exquisite Jade Plate.

This item had been with him for two or three decades, helping him overcome many difficult situations. Once Yama's Feast devoured it, the Jade Plate would completely vanish.

At the moment of action, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a bit of reluctance and hesitation.

After a long while, he managed to bury the faint melancholy deep in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and the Yin Spirit Divine Fetus spun around, causing the secret Nine Orifices to tremble simultaneously. Wisps of black smoke rose and spread from his palm, slowly enveloping the Exquisite Jade Plate.

Chen Mu closed his eyes, maintaining the output of Yin Spirit Divine Power. A series of fine insights gradually emerged in his mind.

Moments later, the black smoke dissipated, and the Exquisite Jade Plate in his hand had completely disappeared.

Chen Mu opened his eyes and looked toward the grey stone gate that appeared before him.

Linglong Celestial Secret Spell: 131/10000;

Artifact Refining Technique (Exquisite Jade Plate): 639/10000;

"Luckily..."

"It can be considered fully utilized."

...

The next day.

At the same hour, Chen Mu lay under the Moonlight Tree.

After a day of familiarizing, he gained a new understanding of the Exquisite Jade Plate.

The Linglong Celestial Secret Spell is at the core of the Exquisite Jade Plate; it can pierce into the workings of the universe, steal celestial secrets, and transform them into Earth Spirit Vital Energy.

It is precisely because of this spell that, regardless whether in Hundred Intentions Heavenly Nether Demon Heaven, the Exquisite Jade Plate can produce Earth Spirit Vital Energy.

"Linglong? Is it related to the Ancient Linglong Path?"

"Hmm, the Linglong Path is formidable."

"It's a pity such a good Linglong Path came to an end," Chen Mu lamented.

Compared to the Linglong Celestial Secret Spell, the Linglong Jade Disc Refining Skill is somewhat inferior.

Apart from the somewhat exquisite structure diagram of the Exquisite Jade Plate, other material formulas, fusion spells, etc., seem rather ordinary.

According to the Artifact Refining Technique, the materials for jade plate refinement are not fixed and can be chosen as circumstances require, as long as they can bear the Linglong Celestial Secret Spell.

The original jade plate material was not precious, being made of something called Three Lights Jade.

It is not a natural mineral, but an artificial jade stone refined and fused from materials respectively containing the essences of the sun, moon, and stars.

The common currency of Hundred Intentions Heaven, White Jade Coins, uses Three Lights Jade as its main material.

"This is ideal," Chen Mu chuckled, flipping his hand to take out a wooden chest and opening it, revealing an abundance of White Jade Coins inside.

Similar wooden chests are stacked in the corner of a three-story wooden building at the center of Thousand Lanterns City, with more than a dozen piled there.

"Fifty-nine thousand seven."

"Not a lot, but certainly enough for refining an Exquisite Jade Plate."

These White Jade Coins, a small portion amassed over time, mostly come from Nine Peaks Mountain, Yizhou, specifically from Weizhi Peak.

Back then, as Peak Master there, half of the White Jade Coins nurtured by the Earth Vein Spiritual Spring of Weizhi Peak was his share.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hold the position for long before the Mistaken Heaven battle ensued, otherwise more White Jade could have been stockpiled.

"With the Secret Technique in hand and ample materials, all that remains is the grind."

"Grinding experience, huh, I'm familiar with this task."

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, clenched his fists, and made his fingers crack.

...

Ten days later.

Under the Moonlight Tree, Chen Mu sat on a small bamboo chair.

He grabbed a handful of White Jade Coins from the wooden chest by his feet and tossed them into the air, activating the Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles to crush them into fine powder.

The Linglong Jade Disc Refining Skill spell operated, quickly liquefying and merging the powder.

With another twist of the spell, threads invisible to the naked eye were drawn from the jade liquid, then woven under the spell's control according to the Exquisite Jade Plate structure diagram.

The process is very similar to Inner Cultivation of Spiritual Treasure, except the Spiritual Treasure uses Innate Primordial Qi, while the Exquisite Jade Plate uses Three Lights Jade.

Hiss hiss hiss....

Threads were continuously stacked and merged, causing faint noises.

An hour later, a jade plate the size of a face and an inch thick gradually took shape.

Its surface was uneven, with many cotton-like structures inside, and didn't appear very pure.

Chen Mu used the Life and Death Seal to probe inside, carefully observing and comparing for quite a while before confirming that the jade plate in his hand barely met the structural requirements of the diagram.

"Many flaws, but it should be usable, can be considered a success." Chen Mu sighed with relief.

In the past few days, he continued Qi Refinement in the mornings, and spent the entire afternoon grinding the Linglong Jade Disc Refining Skill.

I originally thought practicing for five or six days would work, but unexpectedly, after half a month and wasting over two thousand White Jade Coins, I only managed to refine the first usable Magic Artifact embryo.

"Just the final step left." Chen Mu steadied his mind, and a mass of mana appeared in his palm.

Inside the Jade Seed, the Linglong Celestial Secret Spell True Meaning Talisman vibrated, causing the mana in his palm to transform, quickly sketching an identical Linglong Celestial Secret Spell Talisman.

Immediately, the talisman gathered and coalesced, instantly turning into a small bead the size of a mung bean, glowing with a silver light.

Chen Mu used his index finger to press the star pearl talisman into the center of the Jade Plate embryo.

Swoosh!

As if taking root and sprouting, the light spot fell into the Jade Plate, immediately blossoming into dense root-like patterns.

Buzz!

The entire Jade Plate buzzed and vibrated continuously before finally regaining its calm.

At this point, inside the White Jade Round Plate, numerous faintly visible silver star point silk pattern motifs had appeared.

Chen Mu took out One White Jade Coin, somewhat apprehensively placing it in the center of the Jade Plate.

In no time at all, strands of Earth Spirit Element floated around the Cloud Plate.

"Although the efficiency is not as good as the original, I did it!" A smile appeared on Chen Mu's face.

If I can refine one, I can refine a second.

As long as I stack enough Exquisite Jade Plates, I might be able to sustain my daily pure yang Qi refinement.

"Perhaps there's no need to leave White Bird City so hurriedly, hehe..."

...

With Vital Energy secured, Chen Mu was no longer anxious.

Every morning, he continued with Qi Refinement, while in the afternoon, he continued to practice the Linglong Jade Disc Refining Skill and Linglong Celestial Secret Spell. Every now and then, he visited Fan Building to drink tea and listen to music, while keenly listening to the current events in White Bird City.

Thus his Dao advanced gradually, and life was stable, as he slowly integrated into White Bird City, and over half a year passed quickly.

That day, the brothers Duocai and Duobao visited again.

Chen Mu had previously hired them with Artificial Longevity Rice to gather various information about Mist Ridge, and over the past year, they had brought him many things.

There were records of the history of White Bird City, anecdotes about the City Lord Lu Gong, and a collection of fragmented maps. Most maps recorded the surrounding terrain near White Bird City in brief, with the most detailed one being the route map leading deep into Mist Ridge to the great city Wuxiang City.

Chen Mu originally thought they had come to deliver information as usual, but didn't expect the two to come to bid farewell.

"You're going to Wuxiang City?" Chen Mu was surprised.

"Yes, we've developed Divine Skills!" Duobao's eyes, one big and one small, couldn't hide their excitement.

"Because of the 'One Heart Scripture'?" Chen Mu was enlightened, making a guess.

"We originally just wanted to try it." Bald-headed Duocai chuckled, "Didn't expect that unknowingly, we obtained Divine Skills."

"In the end, it must be because we brothers are exceptionally gifted!"

"Our progress was completely hindered before by the 'Rootless Scripture'!" His face was filled with certainty.

Chen Mu: "..."

Are you two this strange pair?

One bald, one with unequal eyes, behaving recklessly, and looking not very smart, yet gifted?

"The Divine Skill is called 'Listening Wind.'

"You could also call it 'Sharp-Hearing Ear.'

"We each obtained half."

"Together, when we perform it, within ten miles, the slightest disturbance can be heard loud and clear!" The two brothers eagerly introduced their newly gained Divine Skill.

Chen Mu's expression grew more puzzled as he listened.

These two brothers naturally have one ear each, one with only a left ear and the other a right ear, ending up with a Divine Skill called 'Sharp-Hearing Ear'?

This is absurd!

Moreover, the Divine Skill is split in half, requiring both to cooperate to be complete?

Are you two just here for laughs?

"Don't believe us?"

"Wait, we'll demonstrate for you right now." The two of them began the incantation, stamping their feet, and chanting.

The result was that the two brothers kept chanting for a quarter of an hour, turning red without any phenomenon occurring.

After half an hour of chanting, when Chen Mu was about to lose patience, a strange aura suddenly emerged above their heads and quickly entered their bodies.

Their ears instantly enlarged at a visible speed, turning into palm-sized "wind-catching ears."

"Success! Haha!"

The two brothers shouted excitedly.

Chen Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He never expected that what sounded like a silly Divine Skill actually succeeded.

What surprised him even more was that the Yin Spirit Divine Fetus that had been resting quietly in his secret acupoint between the eyebrows reacted to the strange aura just now.

Urgency, desire, restlessness.

As if... as if someone who has been hungry for a long time encountered a bowl of greasy, succulent braised pork!
