I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 750 - 738: Five Ghost Pouch
“Failed?”
In front of the thatched hut, Chen Mu frowned at Tang Zong.
“I’ve tried burning incense to communicate several times these days, but there’s been no response from Qian Shan Capital Institute.”
“He was summoned back by the Upper Court, as he was supposed to go to the Outer Heaven Star. At this moment… he probably is no longer at the Yellow Springs Sect’s mountain gate in Thunder State.” Tang Zong said with a mournful face.
The Holy Heart Institute is out of touch, Yizhou is in chaos, and now even the Upper Court can’t be contacted?
This…
“Capital Institute, we…” Tang Zong hurriedly spoke.
“Continue gathering information from all over Yizhou, and don’t stop trying to contact the Upper Court.”
“Yizhou’s Lower Institute villages are nearly a hundred, surely we’re not the only ones seeking help from the Upper Court. In such a vast Yizhou, with countless resources and rare treasures, the high-ranked experts of the Upper Court cannot completely abandon it.” Chen Mu sighed and comforted Tang Zong.
After sending the other party away, Chen Mu fell into contemplation.
The situation in Yizhou is unclear, and he felt a little apprehensive, but he wasn’t panicking.
“Earlier I went through everyone in the Tangshan Institute, basically eliminating the hidden dangers of internal chaos.”
“The outer perimeter of a hundred miles has Truthful Listening Divine Skills monitoring to detect incoming threats in time.”
“The mountain is protected by the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier, and Ghost Gate can escape thousands of miles at any moment.”
“Compared to the uncertain situation in Yizhou, the Tangshan Institute is quite safe now.”
“Besides, I’ve cultivated Daoist Foundation through decades of practice, and I’m far from being that little Qi Refiner who could only go with the flow back then!”
“If really some foolish demon or ghost dares to attack, hmph!”
“I can certainly escape successfully at the first moment!”
…
Chen Mu had been anxious for more than a month, yet Tangshan Institute remained peaceful and nothing happened.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer Lower Institute Disciples coming for refuge.
The outside world had little interest in the Tangshan Institute, and it had almost lost contact with the outside world.
The remote Tangshan Institute seemed to have become a forgotten place.
This evening, in front of the thatched hut, Chen Mu lay on a rocking chair, looking at the gray stone door.
Yellow Springs Gourd: 5769/10000/Fifth Rank;
Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture: 6955/10000/Seventh Rank;
In the past two or three months, although the situation was turbulent, it did not affect Chen Mu’s experience accumulation.
The Fifth Rank Yellow Springs Gourd had already surpassed half of its experience, and the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture also showed remarkable progress.
Aside from secret technique experience, he also made some unexpected discoveries.
He flipped his hand to take out the Five Ghosts Bag and activated the Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique.
Chen Mu’s spirit immediately delved into the Five Ghosts Bag, where countless silvery star points floated before his eyes.
These silvery star points were all talismans of the Five Ghosts Bag.
Some looked like roots, while others looked like clouds, arranged and distributed according to a special pattern, resembling the stars in the sky, appearing chaotic yet possessing a unique rhythm.
Among these talismans, some appeared quite familiar to Chen Mu, similar to the Mustard Talisman.
But more of them remained incomprehensible, only vaguely perceiving the strange power flowing within them.
Even so, he soon noticed something amiss.
“The Five Ghosts Bag talismans seem incomplete.” Chen Mu stared at a certain spot, pondering.
In that spot was an area almost devoid of talismans, nearly blank.
There were twelve similar blanks, like a colossal puzzle missing twelve pieces.
Twelve pieces, strikingly familiar pieces.
Just like…
“Just like the Yama True Ghost Pattern composed of twelve parts from the Soul-Calming Stake!”
“Could it be that the Five Ghosts Bag and the Soul-Calming Stake are actually complementary?”
“This… this very well might be!” Chen Mu’s heart shook.
Both the Five Ghosts Bag and the Soul-Calming Stake come from the Thousand Mountains Sutra; if they’re related, it makes perfect sense!
“If I integrate the Yama True Ghost Pattern into it…”
Chen Mu became interested and immediately began to use the Tongyou Spell, connecting to the Nine Netherworld.
The Soul-Calming Stakes have twelve rods, and the Yama True Ghost Pattern also contains twelve parts.
With the previous experience of refining the Soul-Calming Stake, it only took a quarter of an hour to fish out one type of ghost pattern through the Tongyou Spell, and a cold chill appeared in his palm.
Chen Mu once again used the Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique to delve into the Five Ghosts Bag, carefully placing the Yama True Ghost Pattern into the talisman blank space.
Buzz!
The densely-packed talismans within the Five Ghosts Bag flickered in sequence, and a cluster of silvery ghost patterns merged into the talisman network, fitting as if they belonged there all along.
“It’s indeed feasible!”
Chen Mu was elated, immediately beginning to connect the second part using the Ghost Channeling Technique.
…
In the late hours of the night.
Along the veranda in front of the thatched hut.
Over a dozen white skin soul-luring lanterns floated around the hut.
The gentle yellow light spread, illuminating the platform on the mountainside where the thatched wooden house stood.
Chen Mu leaned against a post, sitting by the edge of the veranda, looking at the Five Ghosts Bag in his hand.
The surface of the Five Ghosts Bag showed no change, but a wisp of mist emerged from within.
The mist slowly gathered, resembling a cloud.
A moment later.
Thud!
With a soft sound, a drop of Jade Dew dripped from the white mist into the Five Ghosts Bag.
“Netherworld Jade Dew, it’s really been a long time…” Chen Mu’s smile grew wider.
The Yama True Ghost Pattern successfully embedded into the Five Ghosts Bag, instantly granting it the ability to convert Heavenly Stars into Jade Dew.
With a wave of Chen Mu’s hand, the Ghost Gate transformed into strands of black smoke, swiftly burrowing into the Five Ghosts Bag.
“Compared to keeping it outside, it’s certainly more reassuring to carry it with me.” He felt satisfied.
Many of Chen Mu’s secret techniques require using Ghosts to initiate.
For instance, the Candle Dragon Transformation and the Living Ghost Gate Secret Technique.
If the Ghosts are kept outside, recalling them wastes time, making quick initiation impossible.
Now, with the Five Ghosts Bag as a portable farm, it can both cultivate and feed the Ghosts while ensuring the secret techniques are ready to launch, achieving the best of both worlds.
“I need to find a way to gather more Ghosts.” Chen Mu squinted, pondering.
He had learned the Mountain-Carrying Scripture in his early years, capable of assembling numerous Ghosts’ power. Candle Dragon Transformation, Living Ghost Gate Secret Technique, all depend on Ghosts to drive.
Because of this, the more Ghosts he nurtures, the stronger his strength grows.
At this moment, with Yizhou in chaos, a bit more power brings more peace of mind.
“Unfortunately, there are no Strange Demons nearby.”
Strange Demons carry Netherworld Worms with them, and using the Five Ghosts Bag to swallow these worms allows for their transformation into Ghosts.
“Forget it, I’d better not think about that.”
“If a Strange Demon really came, then trouble is not far behind.”
“Besides, Netherworld Worms aren’t exclusive to Strange Demons.”
Chen Mu activated Truthful Listening and quickly caught sight of a sleeping Double Flower Rabbit nestled in a grass nest at the foot of the mountain.
Every Lower Institute village in Yizhou has a large number of Double Flower Rabbits specifically distributed to prevent Strange Demons from damaging the Earth Vein.
“When I left the Shuanghua Institute, I should have shamelessly stayed a bit longer.”
“If I could fully comprehend the intricacies of the Soul-Calming Stake, perhaps I could breed the Netherworld Worm myself.”
“Fortunately, breeding Netherworld Worms isn’t the only way.”
Chen Mu immersed his spirit into the Five Ghosts Bag, glancing at seven half-human tall dark gourds in the corner.
Then he raised his hand to pick up the United Heart Rope he used to tie his hair.
“The United Heart Rope can plant the Seven Sons United Heart Gu, and the essence of the United Heart Gu is precisely the Netherworld Worm!”
…
Seven or eight days later.
By the pond on the west side of the thatched wooden house.
A school of arm-length Silver-scaled Fish swam slowly in the water.
Raising his hand to lift a handful of pond water, Chen Mu used Truthful Listening Divine Power to meticulously inspect the Silver-scaled Fish within the water.
A secret black thread was growing along the blood vessels of the Silver-scaled Fish, spreading throughout its body.
It was the Seven Sons United Heart Gu planted by the United Heart Rope.
“It’s working.”
Tangshan Institute had a limited number of Double Flower Rabbits but raised a large number of Silver-scaled Fish.
So Chen Mu implanted the Seven Sons United Heart Gu into these fish to cultivate Netherworld Worms through them.
Under its stimulation, the Silver-scaled Fish in the pond, originally only as long as a forearm, rapidly doubled in size within just seven or eight days.
“I was just testing it, didn’t expect it to actually work.”
“Once it spreads throughout the Silver-scaled Fish, I can attempt to convert them into Ghosts!”
