I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Second floor, by the window.

Chen Mu squinted his eyes, lying on the rocking chair.

"Pillar of people?"

"That doesn’t sound very proper," he frowned deeply.

Hadn’t it been just a few days of peace?

Was someone up to something again?

If chaos erupted on the mountain, how could I continue to peacefully grind for experience?

A chilling light flashed in Chen Mu’s eyes.

"Since you all won’t behave, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Someone’s plotting for wealth and murder, wanting to bring disaster to Jilong Mountain; Elder Brother, are you going to do something about it?!"

Two days later, in the evening, Chen Mu looked solemnly across the round table on the porch, "I want to make a report!"

Mo Wuzhou picked up a piece of boiled meat and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Who dares to mess with Brother Chen?"

"You didn’t directly kill them? And you’re coming to me to complain?"

"How odd!"

Chen Mu looked displeased, "What are you saying, Elder Brother! I am a law-abiding and kindhearted person, how could I commit such atrocities!"

Mo Wuzhou was at a loss for words, forgetting to swallow the meat in his mouth.

"You don’t believe me?" Chen Mu stared angrily at Mo Wuzhou, his neck stiff.

"Do you believe yourself?" Mo Wuzhou’s face was expressionless.

"I believe!" Chen Mu said earnestly, then slapped his hand on a big toad’s belly, "Yuanbao believes too!"

The big toad’s eyelids drooped, looking at the ripples on its belly, and weakly opened its mouth to agree.

"Croak..."

Mo Wuzhou: "..."

Fine, have it your way.

"Since Elder Brother doesn’t believe me," Chen Mu lamented deeply, "I’ll make an effort to tell you."

I don’t want to listen!

Mo Wuzhou rolled his eyes.

But as if Chen Mu couldn’t see that gesture, he went on and on, "Three days ago, I had a friend who couldn’t sleep and went out for a walk in the middle of the night..." ŕà₦ȪꞖƐꞩ

Mo Wuzhou looked helpless, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was amiss.

Pillar of people? And they want to bury it in Jilong Mountain?

"Do you have any more information, Junior Brother?" he had to ask earnestly.

Chen Mu flipped his wrist, and a small blue booklet appeared in his hand.

With the Magic Sword and Truthful Listening working together, it only took him two days to figure out the identity and whereabouts of a group of people in black. He had even compiled a report early, just waiting to hand it over to Mo Wuzhou for inspection.

Mo Wuzhou stared at the brand-new booklet handed to him, really not wanting to accept it.

Isn’t your intention to use me to do your dirty work a bit too obvious!

As if Chen Mu couldn’t see Mo Wuzhou’s reluctance, he forced the booklet into his hands, even considerately helping Mo Wuzhou analyze and calculate their strategy.

"Those people can turn into shadows; I guess ordinary blunt hits won’t be very effective against them. We should use law swords and flying daggers or other sharp weapons. If we have the Thunder Fire Explosion Secret Law, even better!"

"They’re also adept at hiding in shadows, so it’s best to ambush them during the day, and prepare some glowing fire methods, which will leave them nowhere to hide."

"Senior brother, remember to have the Inspection Courtyard set up some isolation and confinement measures, those people move fast, and we can’t let them get away."

"And also..."

Mo Wuzhou glanced sideways.

You’re asking me to wipe them out completely.

And you still dare to call yourself a good person?

...

In the residential area on the edge of Jilong Mountain Market District, within a vacant estate.

The dilapidated bungalow across the street was the hideout of the leading figure in black mentioned in the records.

Knowing that a group on Jilong Mountain was preparing to use an Evil Method, Mo Wuzhou couldn’t even enjoy his meal. He immediately contacted the head of the Inspection Courtyard, bringing a group of inspectors dressed in black to stealthily infiltrate the area.

Before their arrival, the Inspection Courtyard had already verified and indeed discovered that many people had gone missing recently.

Most of these people were preparing to head to the newly established Lower Courtyard. Although they had completed the handover at Jilong Mountain, they never arrived at the new Lower Courtyard.

It was originally thought to be an accident en route, but now it seems very likely that they’ve all been killed by this group in black.

"Damn it!"

Mo Wuzhou’s expression turned grim as he immediately arranged for the Inspection Courtyard to deploy various measures.

At dawn.

A dark figure suddenly stood up from the shadows beside the wall.

Mo Wuzhou’s pupils constricted. He had been vigilantly observing the surroundings the whole time, yet he still didn’t notice how the other party appeared!

He restrained his initial impulse to react, waiting patiently. It was not until the sky began to lighten that messages of readiness came one after another from ten other locations.

Mo Wuzhou clenched his fists tightly.

"Take action!"

The next moment, an invisible Exotic Force suddenly rose around the estate like an unseen large bowl, turning the entire estate upside down within it.

Almost the instant the barrier unfolded, a dark figure in the dilapidated bungalow shot out, crashing towards the edge of the barrier like lightning.

Bang!

A series of transparent ripples dispersed and spread through the air.

Mo Wuzhou’s heart skipped a beat.

If not for the Confinement Secret Law set up in advance, they might have been caught off guard and the figure might have successfully escaped.

The next moment, a bunch of Talismans were thrown into the estate by the inspectors in black.

Boom!

A burst of fire suddenly appeared, and a succession of fireballs exploded in the air. A rain of fiery arrows scattered towards the dark figure, quickly engulfing it in a sea of flames.

The figure, like a black sludge, writhed and hissed in agony, resembling an eel thrown into boiling water.

It continued to dart and bounce, banging against the barrier with loud thumps. After struggling for a while, it fell to the ground without strength, floundered a few times, and then lay motionless within the roaring flames.

The group of inspectors in black breathed a sigh of relief.

But Mo Wuzhou just gave a cold smile.

He opened his right hand, and a dense cluster of icy blue needle-like sword energies appeared in mid-air. Then without any hesitation, he pressed towards the shadow on the ground from a distance, and countless ice needles sword energies bombarded down.

The shadow, which had been lying silently in the flames, suddenly sprang up and slammed violently against the confining barrier, almost puncturing a sharp point in it.

Just as it seemed about to break through the confinement, a torrent of needle-like sword energies rained down, instantly tearing the figure to shreds.

Accompanied by a cry of despair, the shadow fell to the ground with a thud, slowly reverted to human form, and began burning from the inside out until nothing was left but white ash.

"Still trying to feign death to escape, not realizing someone had already clearly understood all about your lives and deaths," Mo Wuzhou murmured expressionlessly, yet couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

"You really didn’t die unjustly."

The various locations on Jilong Mountain simultaneously erupted with thunderous roars, flashes of lightning, and firelight scattering while the energy of the Demon Slaying Swords soared.

Before long, messages began to be collated one after another.

All eleven people dressed in black had been completely annihilated. They each mastered a bizarre secret technique that allowed them to transform into sludge shadows, and there were plenty of stolen goods in their homes, obviously having been involved in plenty of murder and malevolence.

Mo Wuzhou’s brow furrowed deeply, "Who exactly wants to harm Jilong Mountain? The Goose Sheep and Flying Crane sects? Or is it the remnants of the East Ridge Witch Gu causing trouble?"

He thought hard but couldn’t come up with a reason.

"Follow the leads on these eleven people, and perhaps we’ll uncover something."

"Forget it, let the Inspection Courtyard have the headache."

Thinking this, he gave instructions to the disciples of the Inspection Courtyard, then mounted his Escape Light and returned to Jilong Mountain.

...

A group of black-clad inspectors saluted respectfully towards the escaping light of Mo Wuzhou.

When the light faded, they exchanged glances, revealing smiles.

The leader clenched a spell, retracted the Law Sphere, lifted the restrictions, and with a hearty laugh looked at the eager faces, "Old rules, thirty percent is handed over, the rest we split—get to it."

His subordinates immediately burst into the damaged residence, searching thoroughly as if to dig three feet into the ground.

Yet they didn’t notice a pitch-black shadow as small as a chopstick and as thick as a finger appearing among the ruins.

It was like a sensitive little snake, avoiding everyone’s line of sight, silently slipping into the surrounding streets, disappearing without a trace.

A moment later, in the secluded Yellow Bud Rice Fields.

A short and plump outer court disciple, wearing a brown short jacket, was busily working in the fields.

Carrying a wooden bucket, he was spreading Bone Powder fertilizer handful by handful but did not notice the tiny black snake that had silently approached from behind.

The next instant, the small snake shot forth like an arrow aimed straight at the back of his head.

Just as it was about to bore into his skull, an invisible force descended from the sky.

The black snake was like an insect caught in amber, instantly immobilized in mid-air.

After the short and plump disciple, humming a tune to himself, walked into the Yellow Bud Rice Fields, a figure slowly emerged from the ground.

Chen Mu, with a smile on his face, watched the shadowy little snake and released a bolt of lightning with a casual flick of his hand.

A flash of white light erupted.

In just a moment, that shadow turned into a wisp of white ash, scattering with the wind.

"I didn’t want to do it, but who asked you to make trouble?"

"Even though you haven’t made trouble yet, it’s always best to nip things in the bud."

"I’m sure you can understand my point of view."

Chen Mu, looking content, patted his hands together as the ground rippled beneath him, and he disappeared into the earth.

Before long, the short and plump figure emerged from the Yellow Bud Rice fields, scratching his head while looking down at the white Bone Powder on the ground, utterly puzzled.

"Did I just hear a thunderclap?"

"Could it be because I stayed up too late cultivating immortality last night?"

"I really need to eat something good to make up for it."

...

The Inspection Courtyard investigated for some time, but came up with nothing.

Mo Wuzhou even came by to inquire with Chen Mu. But he genuinely knew nothing about those people’s origins and couldn’t provide any more details. Other than reporting it and strengthening their guard, there was nothing more to be done and it was left at that.

Peace was restored on Jilong Mountain, and Chen Mu continued his home cultivation.

He called down the Thunder Law upon himself daily, later using the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique for rapid recovery.

His body’s strength gradually increased, and occasionally within his heart, a pulse different from his heartbeat emerged—a new Secret Orifice was being nurtured. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.

...

That day.

Under the evening sun, on the front porch.

Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair with a giant toad squatting beside him.

The fiery red sunset hung in the sky as disciples bustling about in the terraced fields started to return.

Chen Mu, enjoying the warm sensation of the sunset on his face, was reluctant to open his eyes.

As if struck by a thought, he lazily reached out his hand and gently prodded the big toad’s pearly white belly.

"Yuanbao, tell me, does Replenishing Origin Soup really speed up your cultivation?"

The big toad paid him no mind, squatting motionless on the ground with half-closed eyes.

"Hey!"

Chen Mu poked its belly again.

The big toad sluggishly scratched its belly with its webbed foot.

"Croak."

"Ticklish?"

"Ticklish it is, then!"

"If you don’t tell the truth, I won’t brew the Replenishing Origin Soup for you!" Chen Mu threatened.

The big toad indifferently batted away Chen Mu’s hand as it reached out again.

"Croak!"

"Not frightened?" Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise.

"So, your strength is growing faster not because of the Replenishing Origin Soup?"

The big toad stiffened and remained motionless, pretending not to hear.

"Spill it! What’s going on?" Chen Mu poked vigorously at the toad’s belly.

"Croak..." the big toad lethargically swatted Chen Mu’s hand away, calling out weakly.

"I have the Chaotic Primordial Qi around me? What is that exactly? How come I’ve never noticed it?"

Now Chen Mu was genuinely astonished.

"Croak."

"You don’t know?" Explore more adventures at

"How can you not know!" Chen Mu poked and prodded at the big toad’s belly persistently.

The big toad dodged left and right, full of helplessness.

"Croak!"

"That’s all that’s in your head, nothing else?"

"So, this is a message hidden within the bloodline of your Cold Moon Toad lineage?" Chen Mu suddenly understood, then immediately glared at the big toad, full of dissatisfaction.

"Even if your ancestors didn’t tell you more, couldn’t you go to the Scripture Transmission Institute to read and study?"

The toad’s eyes popped open wide at these words.

Expect me, a demon beast, to read and study? Listen to yourself!

"Why are you glaring at me?"

"Still claiming to be an enlightened demon beast."

"Such a foolish big toad!"

Yuanbao: "..."

You must be seriously ill!
