Chapter 34 Haze
In a secluded courtyard in Dongfeng.
"We don't have much time left. If we don't take action now, our lives will be in danger." A man's voice sounded in the dim and quiet room, bewitching.
The woman sitting opposite sighed faintly: "He is now growing stronger, and we can't do anything to him easily. If he is really gifted, and your and my guesses are wrong, how should we deal with it?" As she spoke, she was full of concerns.
In the dim light, the appearance of the two people was vaguely visible, the man was young and handsome, and the woman was beautiful.
These two people were Zhang Ruoxu and Mu Qing.
Zhang Ruoxu said viciously: "Even if he is really gifted in alchemy, it is useless to keep him if I cannot use him. I originally thought he was honest and could be deceived, but I did not expect that he was very principled. I asked him to help me refine 200 materials, but he refused."
Mu Qing laughed: "You are always calculating others, I thought you were invincible, now you have hit a wall."
Zhang Ruoxu sneered: "Most people who go against me die, and he will not be an exception."
Mu Qing pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Zhang Ruoxu: "We only have half a year. If we cannot build a foundation within half a year, our lives will be hanging by a thread. Is this news reliable?"
Zhang Ruoxu smiled confidently: "With my connections in the sect, such things can be inquired It is very clear and there will be no mistakes. The senior brother who is in the late stage of foundation building warned me that I must build the foundation within half a year, otherwise I will die.
Mu Qing asked doubtfully: "Is it really that serious?"
Zhang Ruoxu said firmly: "It is very serious. It happens once every fifty years, and the competition is very fierce. The masters of Qi Refining from all the major sects gathered together. They are all elites and geniuses. If we go, there is little hope of survival."
Mu Qing asked: "Can't we not go?"
Zhang Ruoxu sneered: "With the conspiracy of those old immortals in the sect, we are now at the tenth level of Qi Refining. If we are not allowed to go, will those at the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining go to die in vain? They won't do that! In their eyes, we are just a tool. The reason why they are protecting us now is that it is not time to start killing yet."
Mu Qing sighed: "I heard that the elders intend to let Luo Yun go to experience it. Aren't they afraid that he will die in the middle of the journey?"
Zhang Ruoxu suppressed his roar and said: "He is a genius. The elders in the sect love him so much that they can't wait to let him die! Let him go to experience it, but he will definitely be given one or two life-saving treasures. What does such treatment have to do with us?"
Mu Qing said helplessly: "Then what are you going to do?"
Zhang Ruoxu said: "We must build the foundation as soon as possible. Lin Mu is our life-saving lucky star. You go and test it first and let him help us refine the Gathering Spirit Pill. Now we need a lot of Gathering Spirit Pills. If the supply of Gathering Spirit Pills is sufficient, we can build the foundation within half a year. Moreover, Each of us has a foundation-building pill. Don't take it now. If you fail to break through the bottleneck, you can use the foundation-building pill to break through the bottleneck. That way, the success rate of foundation-building will be higher. "
Mu Qing said: "I'll try and let him help us refine the pill. But how many Juling Pills do we need to reach the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining?"
Zhang Ruoxu whispered: "According to the experience of the inner sect brothers, I estimate that each person needs at least 300 bottles to ensure that the probability of foundation-building is more than 70%. We can ask someone to help buy about 200 bottles in the Baiwu Pavilion, and you can ask those male disciples for 100 bottles. The remaining 300 bottles will be given to Lin Mu, and he will help us refine them. "
Mu Qing listened quietly and nodded from time to time. Obviously, he agreed with Zhang Ruoxu's plan.
"There are 300 sets of materials here. You can ask him for help half a month later. I went to see him two days ago. If you go now, he will definitely be suspicious. Give him the ring and ask him to refine all of them within a month. If he is unwilling, you must convince him no matter what, any means will do." Zhang Ruoxu handed over a storage ring and reminded.
Mu Qing bit her lip: "I'll try my best."
Zhang Ruoxu nodded: "Now, he is still useful to us, so we shouldn't attack him immediately. But after the foundation is established, it's another matter. I am very interested in his secrets. If he really has talent, why didn't he show it before, but suddenly rose recently. In less than a year, he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. This is really enviable."
Mu Qing said: "It is indeed suspicious, but his recent behavior has been in line with common sense and has not revealed any flaws. All the pills are indeed made by him personally."
Zhang Ruoxu stood up and said: "Then let him be free for a few more days. The most important thing now is the Juling Pill. No matter what, you have to let him help us make the pill." After a pause, he continued: "Even if it means sacrificing your beauty!"
After speaking, he walked out of the quiet room and gently closed the door of the quiet room.
After Zhang Ruoxu left, in the dim quiet room, Mu Qing sat there in a daze, with two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes, silently flowing down.
Xuanyue Space.
The six acres of grass are growing well, green and lush, and the view is refreshing.
Lin Mu still rains on the spiritual grass as usual.
He made a hand gesture, and a white cloud floated in front of him. As soon as the "Green Water Art" was formed, the rain fell in strands, with a breath of life.
Lin Mu paused, and the rain stopped abruptly.
"The breath of life?" He was puzzled.
He cast the spell again, and this time he was finally sure that there was indeed a breath of life. The rain seemed to come alive, and had an inexplicable connection with him.
Lin Mu pinched his hands, and the rain could change at will, condensing clouds into mist, as he wished.
"Green Water Art" advanced again? Lin Mu was not sure.
All the spells in "Basic Five Elements Magic" only talked about the third level, and there was no description of the realm after that. But Lin Mu was sure that this was definitely not the third level of "Green Water Art"! The rain contained a trace of spiritual energy, which was incomparable to the previous one. If it was often irrigated like this, the harvest of the spiritual valley could be increased by at least 20%!
"Green Water Art" was the spell that Lin Mu used the most, and it had not been advanced for a long time. Why did it suddenly today?
Could it be?
Lin Mu suddenly remembered the "Star Refining Spirit Art" that he had just refined. After reaching the realm of God Like Silk, his consciousness was much more condensed. Although in terms of quantity, it is no different from many Qi Refining practitioners, but in terms of quality, it is comparable to the spiritual consciousness of Foundation Building practitioners.
Spiritual consciousness and spiritual power are the basis for performing all spells!
Qi Refining practitioners are limited to spiritual consciousness and can only learn low-level five-element spells, such as the Fireball Spell of the Fire Element, the Dust Spell of the Earth Element, and so on.
After the low-level spells are cast, they can only be left to fend for themselves. The cultivator can no longer control them. Whether they can hit the enemy depends entirely on accuracy and speed.
But after the foundation is built, you can learn intermediate-level spells. Intermediate-level spells are not only far more powerful than low-level spells, but also, after the spells are cast, the cultivator can still control the direction of the spells.
This is why it is difficult for Qi Refining practitioners to defeat Foundation Building practitioners.
Lin Mu followed the same method and was surprised to find that the Red Fire Spell, the Gengjin Spell, and the Thick Earth Spell all changed like the Green Water Spell.
After the Red Fire Art was advanced to the fourth level, its power was only slightly better than the low-level Fireball Art, but its control had undergone a radical change. Lin Mu could freely control the fireballs he released, which was a qualitative change compared to before!
Imagine that in the past, you only had to dodge a Fireball Art by leaning sideways. Now, this fireball can attack from behind after you dodge it, making it hard to defend against!
With just this one change, Lin Mu found that his strength had at least doubled!
If he were to face Ma Huayuan now, Lin Mu was confident that he could kill Ma Huayuan in less than three moves.
Ma Huayuan could never resist the power of a small Gengjin sword that could be tracked.
Lin Mu was also pleasantly surprised to find that even the most difficult Grass Art had advanced to the third level by leaping two levels!
Lin Mu was glad that his 100 low-grade spirit stones were not wasted, and the effect of the Star Refining Spirit Art made him at a loss.
Just the first level, the Godlike Silk Realm, has made him completely different from before.
Whether it is cultivation talent or spiritual awareness, it has been improved a lot!
Lin Mu is confident that although he is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining now, he will definitely be unbeatable in Qianyu Sword Sect.
No one dares to underestimate the planting technique that can be comparable to the middle-level technique!
