I am grinding experience in another world

Chapter 535 - 526 Stability

The following day, Divine Statue Cave Heaven.

Beneath the gate tower of the courtyard, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, continuously adjusting the water screen outside the door to observe Luandu County.

Having witnessed Jin Wuxia’s actions and heard the discussions among the people the day before, Chen Mu felt a sense of crisis arise within him and immediately returned to the Divine Statue Cave Heaven.

Since his return to the Yang Realm, his days were consumed with thoughts of how to free himself from entrapment, engrossed in the Lingbao Pivot Scripture every day and not really gathering news. However, what he saw and heard yesterday clearly told Chen Mu that some unimaginable great changes had occurred in Yunzhou.

As the Yin Spirit Divine Power flowed into the armored general’s divine statue, the images on the water screen shifted. The bustling places in Luandu County, including winehouses, teahouses, and entertainment venues, where people gathered and chatted, all appeared on the water screen.

Chen Mu curled up in the rocking chair, perking up his ears and staring intently at the water screen.

"Jilong Road mysteriously disappeared, and the disciples from the Lower Courtyard returned to Da Qian..."

"Those who practice Qi Cultivation to Cultivate Immortality are calamitous demons, and capturing one is a great achievement?"

"And there are Martial Artists in the Mortal Realm who can arm wrestle with Qi Cultivators?"

"I’ve only been in the Netherworld for three or four years, how has Yunzhou undergone such drastic changes?!"

Suddenly, he thought of his experience of being chased into the Netherworld in the Lower Courtyard of Gan River.

The power of that horned freak seemed similar to that of the pillar general Jin Wuxia he had seen before.

"That man came from the secular Imperial Court?!"

"So, the changes had already taken place. A long time ago, secular Martial Artists had already begun capturing Qi Cultivators?!" Chen Mu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

...

While Chen Mu was busy collecting news from Luandu County, three tall figures in black hooded cloaks appeared at the east side of the cross courtyard near Qiluo Mountain City Divine Temple.

The leader lifted his hood, revealing a young-looking square face: "Mr. Li, I am Yuan Dong. These two are my junior brother and sister, Yuan Chun and Yuan Xia."

"You sent a message to Lock Dragon Courtyard, saying there was a demon cultivator in Luandu County, may I ask..."

The temple priest of Qiluo Mountain City Divine Temple, Li Buxian, was a thin, tall, goateed old man. He greeted them with a smile and a fist salute: "Recently, there have been disturbances at Lock Dragon Well, and on Qiluo Mountain and along Jade Belt River, signs of Qi Cultivators’ vital energies have been revealed."

"I was afraid they would come to destroy the dojo, so I notified Lock Dragon Courtyard."

"I have already organized the details. You three go have a meal and rest first, and I will send the information to your room shortly."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li, but unfortunately, Lock Dragon Courtyard is short-handed, and we are given limited time by the courtyard. We’d better catch those demons earlier so we can return to report to our duties. What do you think..." Yuan Dong said, his expression showing difficulty.

"You three have worked hard." Li Buxian’s expression became solemn, and he once again saluted before immediately leading the three to a room deeper into the courtyard.

...

Divine Statue Cave Heaven.

"Although Earth Spirit Vital Energy is thin in the outside world, I still have the Exquisite Jade Plate, which can create a small Daoist arena of three meters in radius, completely satisfying my own needs for Qi cultivation and cultivating immortality."

"As long as I have White Jade Coins, there’s no need to specifically go to renowned mountains and rivers."

With the Netherworld Grand Summary and the Exquisite Jade Plate in hand, even if Yunzhou’s Vital Energy dissipates, he could still practice Qi cultivation and cultivate immortality.

"The key is where to get the White Jade Coins."

Chen Mu took out a wooden box and looked at the mere two hundred and seventeen White Jade Coins inside, his mind racing.

...

Once his thoughts stabilized, Chen Mu went to Luandu County for a major shopping spree, then honestly tucked himself into the Divine Statue Cave Heaven, no longer needing to appear in person.

With the environmental changes in Da Qian, Qi Cultivators were becoming demonic cultivators, and he did not want to invite trouble.

In the morning, he practiced the Safe Heart Sutra, Yin Wind Escape, and the Nine Cups Calculation Scripture one by one; afterwards, Chen Mu began to prepare lunch.

Under the gate tower, a square table was placed in the middle. The long-unused pitch-black Primordial Alchemy Furnace reappeared again.

A stream of mana flowed in, and heat surged from within the Pill Furnace, as freshly bought pig and rabbit meat tumbled inside, the aroma filling the air.

"Mortal Da Qian is indeed rich in products," Chen Mu, slurping the hot bone marrow, exclaimed, "the City God Dojo is truly not simple."

In these days, he took no haste in leaving the cave heaven and no longer dwelled on the big changes in Yunzhou; Chen Mu’s mood became leisurely, leading to many new discoveries.

He looked up at the sky, where countless invisible threads were interweaved, with various vital energies flowing within, the sparse Earth Spirit Vital Energy evenly distributed throughout Luandu County.

"Using Earth Spirit Vital Energy to promote crop growth, assist plant development, and strengthen livestock breeding? Impressive!"

Earth Spirit Vital Energy can indeed greatly enrich the vitality of all beings, but if the concentration is too high, it will lead to excessive nurturing and drown out the living spirits.

However, the invisible net spread by the City God Dojo throughout Luandu County had the function of grooming and dispersing the Vital Energy. It can fully play the role of promoting vitality while avoiding harm to life.

"The people of Luandu County are strong and healthy; is it not just because of the Netherworld Worms, but also due to the dojo’s work in grooming Vital Energy?"

"Such painstaking efforts, truly such painstaking efforts!"

The more carefully he observed, the more exceptional the City God Dojo appeared to him.

"The Nether Yin Underworld is indeed playing a big game."

Chewing on a bone, Chen Mu adjusted the Water Screen, scanning inch by inch over several hundred miles around Luandu County.

A scene of an underground cave caught Chen Mu’s attention. Seven or eight people dressed in black clothes and wearing hoods were meeting surreptitiously within the cave.

After observing closely for a moment, Chen Mu’s eyes lit up.
