I am grinding experience in another world

A few days later, by the shore of White Bird Lake.

The original thatched hut disappeared, replaced by... another thatched hut.

Above the lake, twenty-four bright pearls slowly revolved in a mysterious orbit, emitting a gentle glow.

One hundred and eight Exquisite Jade Plates were distributed, suspended both above in the sky and below in the water.

On the second day after settling in this place, Chen Mu placed the Forbidden Law of the Magic Artifact "Stealing Celestial Secret and Refining Primordial Qi" into White Bird Lake.

On the wooden porch in front, Chen Mu sat on a backed bamboo chair.

The dull grey Divine Weapon floated before him.

With the Life and Death Seal in place, it seemed to give the Divine Weapon a heart. Not long after returning to White Bird City, the Divine Soldier Stone began to operate on its own.

At this moment, to the naked eye, the Divine Weapon was just a rock slowly spinning in mid-air.

But in the perception of the Seven Emotions Curse, countless desires and emotions surged like an endless sea of clouds from all over White Bird City.

The dull grey stone, like a bottomless pit, absorbed them all, yet showed no sign of being satisfied.

And as a large amount of desires and emotions were refined.

Finally, a subtle and profound Divine Power emerged around the Divine Weapon.

"Wasn't returning to White Bird City and causing a ruckus all for this thing?"

"Finally, the time for harvest has come." Chen Mu smiled.

Just as he was about to guide and absorb, half of the Divine Power suddenly disappeared into thin air.

"What's going on?"

Chen Mu furrowed his brow, connecting with the Life and Death Seal to sense carefully.

"Does the Divine Soldier Barrier need Divine Power for support?"

"This..."

"Well, after all, it's a protective barrier covering over a hundred miles, and it's also a receptor for collecting desires and emotions, so it reasonably needs Vital Energy support." Chen Mu smacked his lips, feeling slightly reassured.

But as soon as he regained his senses, the remaining Divine Power started to disappear in large swathes again.

"This..."

"It still has to be returned to the Scripture Reciter?!" His brow furrowed even tighter.

After a while, looking at the thread-like remaining Divine Power, Chen Mu wore a displeased expression.

"Half for maintaining the Divine Soldier Barrier, forty percent for the Scripture Reciter."

"After all that effort, only ten percent?"

"Sending beggars away!" Chen Mu's eyebrows shot up.

How about... learning from City Lord Lu Gong, and skimming a little from the Scripture Reciters?

Chen Mu squinted, his expression subtle.

What is this?

Complaining about old Lu Gong, understanding old Lu Gong, and then... becoming old Lu Gong?

Well, it's not impossible!

...

The next day.

On the wooden porch in front of the thatched hut.

Xu Gui, sitting on a small bamboo chair, looked uncertainly at Chen Mu.

"You really want me to be the Deputy City Lord?"

"Otherwise? I don't know anyone else here in White Bird City. If not you, then who?" Chen Mu, lying on the rocking chair beside, didn't even lift his eyelids.

"I thought I was just your tool to provoke Qin Wu." Xu Gui scratched his head.

"You do have some self-awareness." Chen Mu laughed heartily: "Don't want to do it?"

"How could that be!" Xu Gui immediately shook his head: "Now I don't even need to offer Longevity Rice when I go to the Fan Building Headquarters, with such benefits, how could I not want to be the Deputy City Lord."

Being Deputy City Lord just for free foot baths and massages?

You really have ambition.

Chen Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid that I'll turn White Bird City into a ghost town." Xu Gui shrugged.

"I heard that when Qin Wu was gone, half of his soldiers ran away that very night." He sighed.

"The soldiers under the other three generals are also restless."

"I think if it weren't for fear of being swallowed whole by your dragon, the three generals would have been the first to lead a runaway."

"No, they won't run." Chen Mu thought of the three he had forced to recite the 'East Pole Longevity Scripture' for a whole day a few days ago, and laughed heartily.

Having planted the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, they are now part of my gang.

How could they run away for no reason?

"How about you show up in the city?" Xu Gui suggested.

"Even having your dragon fly a lap would do."

"Let everyone see your Divine Skills to soothe their worries."

Let's forget about that.

Grandstanding isn't in line with my character.

Chen Mu resolutely shook his head.

"Are you really not afraid of White Bird City turning into a ghost town?" Xu Gui looked at Chen Mu.

A ghost town?

That's impossible.

Chen Mu flipped his hand to extract a scripture and handed it to Xu Gui.

"'Rootless Scripture 2.0'?" Xu Gui looked surprised.

"New City Lord, new outlook, this is my new version."

"Be sure to distribute it citywide and ensure everyone has a copy." Chen Mu smiled and instructed.

"Is there any problem with this scripture?" Xu Gui looked at Chen Mu's smiling face, feeling a bit uneasy.

When they suppressed the three generals a few days ago, the other party was also smiling like that.

"Of course there's no problem!" Chen Mu nodded confidently.

It's just an additional Heavenly Demon Curse; what could go wrong?

"Not only is there no problem, but there are also great benefits." Chen Mu guaranteed earnestly.

"Why don't I believe you."

"So, will you recite it or not?"

"Recite!"

"If I can stay at Fan Building for free, I'll jump into the pit willingly even if there is one!"

Chen Mu: "…"

Maybe you shouldn't be the Deputy City Lord.

I'm afraid that one day, when I wake up, White Bird City will become a city full of red lights and brothels!

…

To continue living in Fan Building for free, the usually lazy Xu Gui suddenly became energetic.

Relying on his position as Deputy City Lord, he went to the City Defense Camp that very day to conscript soldiers.

With the help of tens of thousands of soldiers, he distributed the spiced "Rootless Scripture" throughout the city in just one day.

And to prevent anyone from acting half-heartedly, every morning, he gathered the residents from each block, supervised by the City Defense Camp, to recite the "Rootless Scripture" in unison.

Only after reciting the "Rootless Scripture" three times completely could they go about their other tasks.

Countless Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds floated around the city like dandelion seeds.

In just three days, there was only one voice left in the entire White Bird City.

"Long live the City Lord!"

…

Not only did the people's hearts quickly stabilize, stopping them from fleeing, but a number of spies from other cities were also unexpectedly identified.

Among them, Three Paths City had the most, and quite a few were from Wuxiang City.

"Three Paths City has coveted White Bird City for years, and since the Deputy City Lord is from Three Paths City, I understand having spies."

"But what's up with that Wuxiang City, which has nothing to do with us?" Chen Mu, standing in front of a thatched house by White Bird Lake, looked puzzled at the list of spies.

"Wuxiang City is a newly rising big city with an ambitious City Lord, Wei Wubing."

"In recent years, it has continually defeated several neighboring cities, recruiting people and seizing Divine Weapons."

"The 'One Heart Scripture' that secretly spread in White Bird City before was orchestrated by Wuxiang City." Cheng Hu, the newly appointed former general, explained respectfully with a bow.

"No one recites the 'One Heart Scripture' now, right?" Chen Mu's mouth curled up.

"With the new version of the 'Rootless Scripture', everyone can obtain Divine Skills; only a fool would practice the 'One Heart Scripture'." Xu Gui laughed beside him.

"Even those spies exposed their identities to learn the 'Rootless Scripture'.

Cheng Hu smiled wryly and shook his head.

Did those spies expose themselves to learn the 'Rootless Scripture'?

They were forced to expose themselves because they had to recite the 'Rootless Scripture'.

As someone who was among the first to be implanted with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, how could Cheng Hu not know its power?

Although it might be an exaggeration to say that everyone can obtain Divine Skills, the new 'Rootless Scripture' does indeed make it easier to acquire Divine Skills.

The new City Lord before him is not only powerful but also has truly mysterious methods.

Cheng Hu looked at Chen Mu lounging leisurely in a rocking chair, with increased reverence in his heart.

"The City Lord's Divine Skills are immeasurable!" Wu Tong, the latter general, complimented with a joyful face.

"It's not worth mentioning." Chen Mu waved his hand, unconcerned.

It's not the first time he's implanted the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed in someone.

This thing can eliminate the hostility of the coexistence towards Chen Mu. But as compensation, Chen Mu himself would become a repository of secret technique experiences.

Once implanted, one could connect with the Spiritual Seed's energy to comprehend the secret techniques Chen Mu had learned.

In recent days, many learned the Yin Wind Escape through the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, considering it a Drilling Wind Divine Skill, flying all over White Bird City.

The rumor of "everyone obtaining Divine Skills through reciting scripture tens of thousands of times" spread during this time.

…

"Divine Power might awaken Divine Skills in Yin Spirits, but through the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, one can certainly learn one or two secret techniques."

"So it's not a huge exaggeration to say everyone can obtain Divine Skills."

"Moreover, compared to pathetic Divine Skills like Great Power and Listening Wind, secret techniques like Yin Wind Escape are clearly more useful."

"Therefore, having taken my secret techniques, you can't ask me for Divine Power anymore."

After sending away Xu Gui and Cheng Hu, Chen Mu laughed contemplating the intercepted Divine Power over these days.

These days, with the stimulation of massive Divine Power, the Heavenly Demon Body absorbed ten times more Netherworld Qi and Taiyin Qi daily than before.

The metamorphosis of the Heavenly Demon Body naturally accelerated several times as well.

Chen Mu turned his inner vision to the secret acupoint between his eyebrows.

The Yin Spirit Divine Fetus was clearly larger than before, and the silver roots around the nine apertures were denser.

He could clearly feel a weak life force growing and pulsating inside the Divine Fetus, as if nurturing something.

"Yin Spirits face great tribulations to become saints. They inherently have a longer lifespan than Qi Cultivators, but their cultivation speed is also much slower."

"For a normal Yin Spirit to nurture a Divine Fetus starting from the Nine Apertures of Fetal Breathing, at the very least, it would take three hundred years to become a Yin God."

"With my tenfold accelerated Divine Power, perhaps I could achieve it in just a few decades!"

"Sigh…"

"I originally wanted to be a proper Qi Cultivator; how did I end up racing down this unorthodox path?"

"Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body, you really have been my undoing!"

Chen Mu, showing his big teeth, could barely refrain from laughing out loud.
