I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 770 - 758: Arrival
The next day, inside the Dragon Bone Boat, at the entrance of the Golden River Palace.
A stone gate appeared before his eyes, and Chen Mu’s eyes lit up.
Strong Wall Ghost Pattern: Limit;
“It really worked!”
He clearly felt that some new content was added to the Yin Spirit Divine Fetus in the secret acupoint between his eyebrows, which was the true intent of the Strong Wall Ghost Pattern.
This meant that he had completely mastered this ghost pattern and no longer needed to temporarily borrow it from the Nine Serenities Abyss using the Ghost Channeling Spell.
Chen Mu looked at the stone gate again and quickly found other entries.
Ghost Channeling (Yama True Acupoint): Limit;
Ghost Channeling (Red-Eyed Ghost Pattern): Limit;
Ghost Channeling (Qianji Engraving): Limit;
Ghost Channeling (Linglong): Limit;
These were the ghost patterns he had mastered over the years through his continuous practice.
“First, make these ghost patterns my own!”
“Then… then use the Ghost Channeling Spell to summon more ghost patterns, and quickly master them with the Yama Feasting Divine Power.”
“With this operation, I can’t even imagine how many Yin Spirit Ghost Pattern Secret Techniques I’ll master in the future!”
“I’m going to make it big! Haha!”
…
The Dragon Bone Boat sailed smoothly, following the guidance of the Tianhe Compass every day, steadily heading towards Nine Peaks Mountain.
With the help of the Yama Feasting Divine Power, several types of ghost patterns that could be borrowed with the Ghost Channeling Spell were quickly mastered by Chen Mu. However, the plan to master more ghost pattern secret techniques with the Ghost Channeling Spell hit a snag.
Chen Mu looked at the new entries on the stone gate, his expression complex and difficult to describe.
Long Hair Ghost Pattern—allows the body to grow long hair, which can be controlled to weave various fabrics.
Who in their right mind would want to grow long hair all over their body?!
Claw Enhancing Ghost Pattern—quickly grows fingernails and toenails, making them sharp and tough.
Aren’t you afraid of getting nail inflammation?!
Illusionary Bait Ghost Pattern—spits out colorful bubbles to lure prey close.
This is basically a human bubble machine!?
Chen Mu looked dispirited.
“Without specific ghost pattern seeds to guide, I’m afraid the Ghost Channeling Spell will fish out only these kinds of things.”
Before, he was focused on acquiring ghost pattern secret techniques and forgot that the Nine Serenities Abyss was vast and full of countless ghost patterns. Aside from the ones with miraculous effects, most are just these trivial pieces.
“Obviously, I have the Dragon Slaying Skill-like Yama Feasting Divine Power, yet it’s useless.”
“Sigh…”
“Maybe… swallow some magic artifacts?”
Chen Mu looked at the Five Ghosts Bag, then at the Exquisite Jade Plate, and finally the Sword Box Gourd, shaking his head immediately.
“I can’t bear to part with them.”
The Sword Box Gourd can refine the Vermilion Feather Sword, and when combined with the Mechanism Manipulation Technique, it becomes his eyes, allowing remote detection and surveillance of enemy situations.
The Exquisite Jade Plate can transform Earth Spirit Vital Energy. Although it’s not much use now, it has been with him for decades, and he can’t bear to destroy it.
The Five Ghosts Bag is absolutely not to be consumed by the Yama Feasting Divine Power; after all, it still houses a hundred thousand Ghosts.
“I’ll just diligently grind my experience.”
…
The Dragon Bone Boat is shaped like a giant black loach with a peculiar internal structure. The Golden Dragon Hall is located in the giant black loach’s head, while the stream and pavilion at the rear are in its spine.
Its abdomen is hollow, devoid of scarlet flesh and sticky mucus. The inner wall is dark as if cast from bronze and iron, exuding a cold, simple metallic style.
It is also covered with various talismans, occasionally flashing with crimson light, illuminating the abdominal space brightly. At a glance, it seems like a red-hot furnace.
Chen Mu floated inside, looking around, clicking his tongue in admiration.
At a certain moment.
Crash…
A large pile of exotic fish slid in from the esophagus at the front of the Dragon Bone Boat.
“The goods have arrived.”
Chen Mu turned his head and cheerfully activated the Yama Feasting Divine Power.
A large mass of gray-black mist rushed into the pile of exotic fish and devoured them instantly.
The first to rush into his body was a large amount of chaotic Vital Energy. Chen Mu flipped his hand and used the Soul Capturing Return to Origin Technique, pouring all of it into the Ghosts inside the Five Ghosts Bag.
He continued to activate the Yama Feasting Divine Power, sifting through it like panning for gold.
After a while, faint and pure strands of essence were filtered and captured by the divine power.
“That’s it!” Chen Mu’s heart was filled with joy. He immediately absorbed it and began to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique.
After a moment, Chen Mu summoned a gray stone gate.
Heavenly Demon Armor: 3473/10000/eighth rank;
“Just one session increased by seventy or eighty experience points!”
“The innate protective Qi mechanism contained within the exotic beasts’ bloodline indeed accelerates the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Armor!”
Chen Mu felt invigorated.
Finding nothing else to do during the voyage, he planned to grind the secret technique. After pondering these past few days, he ultimately chose the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique because he had always had an interest in Stack Armor.
At the eighth rank, the Heavenly Demon Armor’s cultivation speed slowed down. However, the Heavenly Demon Protective Qi Mechanism Origin could accelerate the cultivation. Previously, at the Outer Heaven Star, the Heavenly Demon Armor quickly advanced thanks to the Outer Heaven Demon Origin.
Now, although there are no Outer Heaven Demons, there are plenty of ordinary exotic beasts.
And most exotic beasts have prominent ancestors, with traces of Great Demon bloodlines in their bodies. This sliver of bloodline allows them to absorb Vital Energy to enhance themselves and generate some innate protective Qi mechanism.
These Qi mechanism origins are too weak to strip away before, but now he has the Yama Feasting Divine Power.
“The Yama Feasting Divine Power is becoming more valuable!” Chen Mu laughed with delight.
Even better, he didn’t even have to catch the exotic beasts himself.
The Dragon Bone Boat is equipped with the ability to capture exotic beasts, allowing him to wait in the belly of the boat until the prey comes on its own.
“All the food is laboriously caught, and I snatch it all up; it’s a tough life for the Dragon Bone Boat.”
Chen Mu shook his head with a sigh.
“Hmm, maybe I should reduce the White Jade Coins used to sustain the Dragon Bone Boat.”
“Keep the Dragon Bone Boat a little bit hungry, and this will surely stimulate it to catch exotic beasts faster.”
“Hehe…”
Dragon Bone Boat: “…”
…
Southwest of Yizhou, the mountains stretched on endlessly.
The lush greenery covered the earth like a carpet, with the cries of birds and beasts echoing unceasingly.
The bright sunlight filtered through the cracks in the leaves into the dim forest, and the gentle wind rustled, causing patches of light to sway with it.
At a certain moment, a sudden rustling of dense leaves was heard in the forest.
A massive shadow slithered over the canopy, instantly blocking and snuffing out the patches of light on the ground.
The shadow moved with the agility and grace of a serpent, and it was none other than the Dragon Bone Boat, which had left the Tongtian River and come ashore.
The Dragon Bone Boat, a remarkably exquisite high-grade magical artifact, could both traverse water and take flight. Crawling over the dense forest canopy was not much more difficult than navigating the waters below.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged atop the Dragon Bone Boat, enjoying the mountain breeze as he gazed at the endless forest ahead.
Having been cooped up in the Golden River City for too long, he really disliked closed environments. Even though the Dragon Bone Boat was spacious enough inside, he preferred sitting on its head, feeling the wind in his hair.
With a thought, a gray stone gate materialized before his eyes.
Heavenly Demon Armor: 7361/10000/eighth rank;
“Quite a fruitful harvest!”
Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
During the past twenty-odd days, the Dragon Bone Boat had been sailing through the depths of the Tongtian River.
Numerous exotic beasts were captured by the Dragon Bone Boat and then intercepted by Chen Mu’s Yama Feasting Divine Power.
Bit by bit, food was accumulated, and the Heavenly Demon Armor’s experience surged thanks to the demon Qi mechanism origin.
“Pity there’s still so little time; otherwise, I might reach the peak experience of the eighth stage.”
“Once we reach Nine Peaks Mountain, perhaps I can purchase some exotic beasts to continue aiding my cultivation,” Chen Mu pondered to himself.
“Capital Institute, and over there is the apex of the mountain connecting the heavens, the main peak of the Nine Peaks Mountain, Star-picking Peak,” Tang Zhimu said, appearing beside Chen Mu and pointing to the barely visible peak shrouded in clouds in the distance.
“We’re finally arriving,” Chen Mu felt relieved.
Though he didn’t have any strong sense of belonging to the Yellow Springs Sect, compared to wandering aimlessly, a Lower Courtyard Mountain Gate was undoubtedly safer, at least it had a protective Mountain Protection Magical Barrier.
After such a long trek, he was in desperate need of a stable environment to rest and recover.
