Chapter 32: Star Spirit Refining Technique
Lin Mu woke up slowly at noon.
His spirit had been restored, but his body was sticky and uncomfortable. More than a month of continuous alchemy career made his whole body covered with mud.
After taking off his clothes, Lin Mu took a nice bath in the fish pond in the yard, and immediately felt refreshed and light.
After washing up, Lin Mu began to count the harvest this time.
Five hundred and forty bottles!
This is the number of Juling Pills that Lin Mu currently has.
If these pills are used for cultivation, Lin Mu believes that they are enough to support his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and even if he works harder, he can reach the tenth level of Qi Refining.
If he takes one bottle every day, Lin Mu can build a foundation within three years.
But now Lin Mu has embarked on a completely different path from others, and building a foundation is no longer the only goal. A strong strength that can protect himself is equally important to him.
After packing up, Lin Mu stored most of the pills in the small house in the Xuanyue space, leaving fifty bottles in the storage ring, walked out of the courtyard and headed straight for Luoxia Peak.
Gu Chen saw Lin Mu walking into the Baiwu Pavilion in high spirits, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother, you look very good, I think you have encountered some good news?"
Lin Mu nodded and smiled: "Indeed. Thanks to my help, the Gathering Spirit Pills I harvested this time are not cheap. I want to sell some and earn some spirit stones."
Gu Chen's eyes lit up: "How much?"
Lin Mu took out the Gathering Spirit Pills from the storage ring, put them on the counter, and smiled: "A total of fifty bottles."
Gu Chen chuckled: "According to the price of four low-grade spirit stones per bottle, fifty bottles are two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Brother, you have gained a lot in more than a month!"
Lin Mu smiled: "It's pure luck, a small achievement, not worth mentioning."
Gu Chen didn't think so. Earning two hundred spirit stones in more than a month is definitely a high-income group in Qianyu Sword Sect.
Most outer disciples only earn two or three low-grade spirit stones a month, and the deacon disciples only earn seven or eight low-grade spirit stones a month. Even for inner disciples who have reached the foundation-building stage, the monthly spiritual stones issued by the sect are only about 100.
Lin Mu's income has far exceeded that of most people!
Gu Chen is not jealous of this at all, on the contrary, he is full of joy. Because Lin Mu deals directly with him in both the materials for alchemy and the spiritual gathering pills he refines. In the past month, Gu Chen has earned a lot of spiritual stones just from Lin Mu. Although his current cultivation level is only the fourth level of Qi Refining, if we talk about wealth, few people in Qianyu Sword Sect can match him.
Gu Chen took out 200 low-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag and said with a smile: "Senior brother is too modest. Senior brother's current wealth is the envy of others."
Lin Mu calmly put the spiritual stones into the storage ring and smiled slightly: "I can't do this for long. In the past month, both my body and spirit have been greatly damaged. It will be difficult to fully recover without a year or half a year of hard work." The deep fatigue revealed in his words made Gu Chen believe it.
Gu Chen advised: "Then Senior Brother, you should pay attention to rest and not overwork. Combining work and rest is the right way."
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Junior Brother, you are right. In the next six months, I will not make pills anymore and plan to have a good rest."
Gu Chen was stunned. If Lin Mu really did this, who would he earn spiritual stones from?
"Senior Brother, you have rested well, and you can continue to make pills. Many people are waiting to buy the Gathering Spirit Pills you made." Gu Chen advised with a smile.
This is true. The Gathering Spirit Pills made by Lin Mu are three times better than those made by others.
Lin Mu nodded in agreement, said goodbye to Gu Chen with a smile, and walked into the Sutra Pavilion opposite the Hundred Things Pavilion.
The Sutra Pavilion was extremely deserted, and the disciples coming and going were not the same as those in the Hundred Things Pavilion. This is no wonder. In the Qianyu Sword Sect, most disciples will be taught a cultivation method for free when they enter the sect. Many disciples are working hard to cultivate this method before building their foundation. Few people go to learn other methods or spells. As for sword tactics, those are the privileges of highly gifted disciples, and ordinary people simply don't have time to learn them. Even if they have time to learn, they may not be able to learn them!
Lin Mu is naturally not one of those ordinary disciples. What he has learned is very diverse, but it is a self-contained system. Whether it is "Basic Five Elements Techniques" or "Leaving Fire Pill Essentials", they all complement his own conditions and talents.
Lin Mu's idea of learning the tactics is to learn whatever he needs.
The elders' suggestions are not suitable for his five-element spiritual roots at all. He wants to work hard to find his own way.
After more than a month of continuous alchemy, Lin Mu felt extremely tired. He knew that this was because his consciousness was too weak.
He wanted to come to the Sutra Pavilion to see if there were any tactics for training consciousness.
Qianyu Sword Sect is a sword cultivation sect, and the most powerful thing for sword cultivators is their bodies. In the Sutra Pavilion, there must be many tactics for training the body, but as for training consciousness, there are very few. Before Lin Mu came in, he didn't have much hope.
After paying respect to the old man meditating behind the door, Lin Mu entered the Sutra Library.
Passing through rows of neatly arranged red sandalwood shelves, Lin Mu carefully selected thousands of jade slips.
On dozens of shelves in a row, there was no spell that Lin Mu wanted.
Most of the jade slips that were lifted up by the cyclone and floated in the air recorded sword tactics, mental skills, and magic skills, and they were clearly classified. The jade slips floated up and down with the changes of the cyclone, which was conducive to taking and avoiding dust.
Lin Mu did not give up, and checked all the way, but there was no magic skill of spiritual consciousness on a wooden shelf.
When Lin Mu was about to despair, a dilapidated wooden shelf in the corner of the wall gave Lin Mu a little hope.
There were two words written on the wooden shelf: Miscellaneous. This is the classification of the jade slips on it.
The jade slips on this wooden shelf were not even bothered to set up cyclones, probably because they were afraid of wasting spirit stones. These jade slips had not been purchased for years, and a thick layer of dust had already fallen.
All the jade slips were not placed in grids. Some grids were messily piled with a pile of jade slips, and many grids were empty.
Lin Mu did not mind the dirt, and picked up the dusty jade slips and checked them one by one.
After checking a few pieces, Lin Mu found that they were indeed waste. Even the prices are different. Some only need two or three spiritual stones, while others are as high as thousands of spiritual stones. This is clearly a random price. No wonder no one comes to buy.
These jade slips are very much to Lin Mu's taste. The contents recorded in them are mixed, but very rich. Lin Mu reads them with relish.
"My opinion on the release and recovery of spiritual power"
"How to save 1% of spiritual power when refining pills"
"Wu Yazi's life story"
...
Most of them are similar to this kind of magic formula, recording some irrelevant personal thoughts or some insights. These contents are of little help to cultivation, or even no help, and reading them is a waste of time.
Lin Mu saw many wonderful ideas in them, which were contents he had never thought of before.
For example, the jade slip that recorded "How to save 1% of spiritual power when refining pills" detailed how to save 1% of spiritual power in the process of refining pills for more than an hour. Lin Mu read it carefully and found that this method is indeed feasible.
But in this process, many places need to use some specific techniques and ways of outputting spiritual power, and few people will spend so much time to learn these things.
What's the use of saving one percent of spiritual power? This is what most people think.
Lin Mu thought it was interesting and decided to buy it and go back to study it carefully.
Picking up a jade slip again, inputting spiritual power into it, this time Lin Mu was excited.
"Star Refining Spirit Art" fragment!
After reading it, Lin Mu realized that it was not as good as he imagined.
This is a spell specifically for strengthening spiritual consciousness, but it is indeed a fragment, with only the first layer of content, and all the subsequent content is missing.
Moreover, the jade slip also said that "Star Refining Spirit Art" is extremely difficult to practice, and less than one in a thousand people can practice it.
What made Lin Mu even more unacceptable was that the price behind it was actually one hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Mu decided to bite his teeth and buy it.
He wanted to try it.
One hundred low-grade spiritual stones were not unacceptable to him.
Picking up a few jade slips he had picked, wiping them clean, Lin Mu walked towards the pavilion door.
He paid the old man with spirit stones, a total of 138 spirit stones.
Lin Mu looked painful, as he had just spent most of the spirit stones he had just obtained. But he did not regret it, as these jade slips were of great use to him.
After a respectful salute, Lin Mu slowly left the Sutra Pavilion and prepared to return to the courtyard.
After walking out of Luoxia Peak and arriving at the foot of the West Peak, a person blocked his way.
Lin Mu looked carefully and hurriedly saluted: "Hello, Senior Brother."
The person who came was Zhang Ruoxu. Zhang Ruoxu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Junior brother, no need to be polite. I have something to ask you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Senior brother, please tell me?"
Zhang Ruoxu walked forward and leaned over to Lin Mu's ear and said: "I want to ask you to help me refine the pill. I have been trying to build my foundation recently, but I have failed repeatedly. I think my cultivation is not enough. I have 200 sets of materials. I wonder if you can help me refine it?"
Lin Mu hesitated for a while. He had been refining pills for more than a month, and he was already exhausted. Besides, he now has enough pills, and he also wants to work hard to practice and break through the foundation. Helping others to refine pills is a waste of his time. Lin Mu still has this account.
Lin Mu now has 200 low-grade spirit stones in his hand, which is enough for him for a long time. There is no need to work hard to refine pills to earn spirit stones.
"I'm afraid not. I've been refining pills for a while and I'm very tired. Don't worry, brother. I'll help you refine it when I recover." Lin Mu pondered for a while and gritted his teeth.
Refuse when you should! Lin Mu didn't want to drag it out.
Zhang Ruoxu laughed and said, "It's okay, it's natural. Let's talk about it when you have time."
After that, he patted Lin Mu's shoulder twice and passed by.
Zhang Ruoxu didn't look back and walked a few steps away. The smile on his face disappeared, his face was gloomy, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes!
