I AM GRINDING EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER WORLD

“Demon creatures from beyond the heavens are countless and mostly tough-skinned and thick-fleshed.”

“To skin, dissect, and slay demons, one must first break through the protective Qi left in their corpses.”

“This requires the Demon Dispel Skill centered around the principles of generating and overcoming transformations…”

Preaching Cliff is situated on a spacious platform jutting out over a cliff. At the edge, there’s a peach tree massive enough to require five people to encircle it, with gnarled branches and a canopy like the enormous claws of a wild beast.

Under the tree, on a long stone bench, sat Scripture Doctorate Chuan Chang, the Elder without expression on his face, lecturing about the Demon Dispel Skill.

“The foundation of the Demon Dispel Skill isn’t difficult; the challenging part is the flexible use of generating and overcoming transformations.”

“It allows the rhythms of the Secret Technique to transform in a thousand ways. Only then can one rapidly find a method to break through the demon’s protective Qi when facing an unfamiliar one.”

As he spoke, he began to explain the Spell Command Talisman for the Demon Dispel Skill, along with some basic generating and overcoming transformations.

From dawn, he spoke until the sun was slanting westward, then stopped, still not having exhausted the topic.

Even the robust spiritual minds of the Qi Cultivators, those with swift thoughts, were left dizzy from the complexity of the Demon Dispel Skill.

Chuan Chang looked down at the crowd with blank faces and calmly said, “You should be thankful that you came to the Hundred Illusion Sect. The creatures you’ll face are all corpses, inanimate objects—even if you encounter unfamiliar demons, there is time to try slowly.”

“If you were a War Soldier, you would have to find the demon’s weak points amidst life and death battles. That’s where real peril lies, dancing with knives and swords.”

The crowd, snapping back to reality, felt a chill in their hearts.

Mixed within them, Chen Mu couldn’t help but feel fortunate.

Lucky he hadn’t been swayed by that old Taoist from Taoshan Temple.

Demons were legion, each with its unique protective Qi. To break through their defenses, one must either use generating and overcoming methods or powerful Secret Techniques; neither path was easy, and the slightest carelessness could lead to extreme danger.

“So, what about being a Butcher then?”

“Though the work environment is a bit poor, spending all day with various corpses, at least it’s safe enough, stable enough!”

Chen Mu thought with a chuckle.

Elder Chuan, standing on the platform and looking at the relieved expressions of the crowd, nodded with satisfaction.

With this scare, the likelihood of these fellows being lured away by other sects had probably decreased.

He watched them discussing, occasionally answering questions, and when the daylight began to fade, he concluded this session of scripture teaching.

“The foundation of the Demon Dispel Skill is indeed simple, but its variations can be exceedingly complex.”

“Listening to more is not as good as practicing.”

With a wave of his hand, he tossed several fist-sized stones, which flew in front of everyone.

“The stones in front of you are Demon Qi Stones.”

“When you can cut open a Demon Qi Stone, that’s when you can start the next step in your training.”

…

Late at night, in the cave mansion on the cliffside, Chen Mu, who was sitting cross-legged on his stone bed, slowly opened his eyes.

The grey wall, in line with his will, appeared before his eyes.

Demon Dispel Skill: 233/10000/First Rank;

“This Secret Technique really isn’t difficult to start.”

After returning from Preaching Cliff to his Cave Mansion, he began trying to practice the Demon Dispel Skill.

It related to whether he could smoothly infiltrate the Thousand Mechanisms Sect in the future and could not be neglected.

As Elder Chuan had said, the entrance to the Demon Dispel Skill indeed was not difficult. After trying a few times with the Transmission Jade Scroll, Chen Mu’s Jade Seed gained a refined silver ring the size of a soybean.

“The Demon Dispel Skill comprises five Talismans, and I’ve condensed one of them in just two or three hours. Even if the following ones are difficult, it won’t take too much time.”

“Perhaps, just as Elder Chuan said, the difficulty of the Demon Dispel Skill lies entirely in whether the application is subtle and skilled.”

…

Several days later, in the early evening, on a small platform by the entrance of the cave.

Chen Mu lay in his most-used fourth-generation rocking chair, with armrests already smooth and well-polished.

The setting sun’s orange rays shone through the thin mist, warming his entire body.

Swish!

A slender red line descended from the sky, Chen Mu, at the right moment, reached out and plucked the Vermilion Feather Sword from mid-air.

On his first day in the Hundred Illusion Sect, he had let fly all the Vermilion Feather Swords, using the Truth Listening Divine Power to probe the environment of the Hundred Illusion Sect.

At this moment, Chen Mu slightly reminisced, and a complete sand table emerged in his mind.

The Hundred Illusion Sect is located in a basin deep within the Mist Forest, surrounded by a ring of towering cliffs and mountains.

The mountains are lush with vegetation, and peach blossoms vie for beauty all over the hills. At the center of a sunken basin lies a vast plain, all transformed into a Spiritual Field for planting Golden Yuan Valley.

“The surrounds of the Cave Mansion are also pretty good, no hidden dangers.” Chen Mu glanced at the scattering of caves in the distance, showing a smile.

The place he chose was rather secluded. Those living here were mostly Qi Cultivators who were hermits, only bent on solitary Cultivate Immortality.

Besides the occasional wailing of the mountain wind, there was hardly any disturbance around.

“Quiet is good.”

“No disturbances, live and let live, each cultivating peacefully on their own.”

Laughing cheerfully, Chen Mu took out the Demon Qi Stone.

“I need to concentrate on grinding my Demon Dispel Skill experience.”

He had come to the Hundred Illusion Sect for the sole purpose of using it as a stepping stone to join the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.

To join the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, one must be adept at the Demon Dispel Skill. If one couldn’t dissemble the bones of demons, how could they qualify as a butcher.

With a thought, a greenish mist appeared in Chen Mu’s palm, which was the secret Demon Dispel Skill passed down in the Hundred Illusion Sect.

He skillfully pressed the green mist onto the Demon Qi Stone, and a faint yet tenacious sense of repulsion immediately fed back into his heart.

“Be it the Five Dragons Scripture or the Five Thunders Spell, I could crush this Demon Qi Stone with a bit more force, but that’s different from the effects of the Demon Dispel Skill.”

“The Demon Dispel Skill is used for a meticulous dissection of the demon body, not to smash it into mince.”

“Sigh, might as well sincerely start training then…”

If he could cheat, he would’ve used some other Secret Technique to muddle through, instead of stubbornly wrestling with this stone.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

Like acid corrosion, tiny holes began appearing on the surface of the Demon Qi Stone.

Chen Mu carefully sensed the changes in the aura of the Demon Qi Stone. Following the instructions of Elder Chuan, he activated the Secret Technique Talisman and then adjusted the rhythm of the Demon Dispel Skill.

At one moment.

It was as if the lock had found its key; the tenacious force that barricaded the outside of the Demon Qi Stone suddenly parted, and the green mist quickly seeped in.

Pop!

Like a hot knife through butter, or like splitting wood along the grain, the Demon Qi Stone was suddenly cleaved into two halves.

“By continual trial and feedback adjustments of the Demon Dispel Skill, one finds the protective Qi mechanism meridians of the demon, and dissect it along those meridians.”

“Using the gapless to enter the gapped, like Butcher’s Skill?”

“Heh! This Demon Dispel Skill really is a butcher’s Secret Technique.”

Chen Mu revealed a smile.

After several days of effort, he was finally on the right track with the Demon Dispel Skill’s cultivation.

…

The next day.

Within the Hundred Illusion Sect, where the base of the mountain cliffs meets the perimeter of the Golden Yuan Valley plain, there is an annulus sloping downwards forming a multilayered valley several hundred meters deep.

Its name is Prison Valley, shrouded in thick fog all year round, from which clinking and clanking sounds occasionally echo.

Lu Han, who hadn’t been seen for several days, led Chen Mu and a dozen other newcomers deep into the valley.

With a wave of his hand, over a dozen worn-out bamboo baskets appeared before them, each also containing equally battle-damaged and worn pickaxes.

“Learning a Secret Technique isn’t hard; what’s difficult is quickly adjusting the Demon Dispel Skill to better skin and disassemble the protective Qi mechanism of unfamiliar demons.” Lu Han declared loudly.

“Only then can you earn Daoist Cultivation points faster, in exchange for various resources and secret techniques from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.”

“To deepen the Demon Dispel Skill, you must continually try with different Demon Qi mechanisms.”

“Right now, Prison Valley is full of Demon Qi Stones, their demonic Qi mechanisms are ever-changing. Excavating and mining are the best ways to cultivate the Demon Dispel Skill.”

“Digging up a hundred pounds a day is considered beginner level, digging up five hundred pounds meets the standard.”

“When that time comes, you can move on to the Grinding Stone Room for the next stage of cultivation.”

“Future Daoist Soldiers of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, get moving quickly! The sooner you complete your training, the sooner you can earn Daoist Cultivation points in the Thousand Mechanisms Sect!” Lu Han’s hand clapped like a fan, urging everyone to get to work briskly.

Before long, a series of crisp tinkling sounds began to fill the valley.

Seeing everyone comply, Lu Han showed a pleased smile.

Hurry and train, hurry and become Daoist Soldiers.

That way, you can earn Daoist Cultivation points for us in the Thousand Mechanisms Sect sooner.

At this moment, his gaze towards everyone was affectionate, like a doting father wishing his children to become successful!
