Chapter 4: Sutra Library

At dusk, Lin Mu woke up slowly.

He slept for nine hours. After waking up, Lin Mu felt refreshed and tired.

Lin Mu decided to implement his plan step by step starting from today.

It was not his intention to confront Ma Huayuan openly. He wanted to accumulate strength secretly and wait until the time was right to deal with Ma Huayuan. But now it seems that his situation is really bad. If he is not careful, he may be caught by Ma Huayuan, humiliated, or even tortured.

Lin Mu is not afraid of these because he has the Xuanyue Pendant. What he needs most now is time.

The time in the Xuanyue space is twice that outside, which can make his cultivation speed barely consistent with that of ordinary disciples. The three acres of spiritual fields inside should be used well to plant some spiritual herbs and medicines, and then refine them into pills after harvesting, which can also improve his cultivation. In the long run, there is no worry about not catching up with those disciples.

This is his capital and the opportunity for his rise.

However, planting spiritual herbs is a technical job. For cultivators who do not understand the medicinal properties and functions of spiritual herbs, planting them is difficult. In addition, planting requires learning some five-element techniques, such as the "Bishui Jue" for watering spiritual herbs, the "Genjin Jue" for curing diseases and killing insects, the "Caomu Jue" for promoting the growth of spiritual herbs, and the "Jingshu Jue" for...

Of course, all of these need to be purchased with spiritual stones, whether it is the seeds of spiritual herbs or the five-element techniques.

Although the Qianyu Sword Sect does not allow disciples to go out easily, there are related trading places inside the sect. For example, the Baiwu Pavilion located on Luoxia Peak sells various magic tools, elixirs, talismans, seeds, etc. Opposite the Baiwu Pavilion is the sect's Sutra Pavilion, which contains various grades of mental techniques, sword techniques, and techniques.

As long as you have spiritual stones, everything in it can be purchased. Moreover, compared to the outside, the price is relatively cheap.

Lin Mu took away the futon in the quiet room and gently lifted a piece of green brick under the futon. There was a green cloth bag hidden under the green brick, and Lin Mu reached out to take it out.

Carefully opening the cloth bag, there were forty low-grade spirit stones inside. This was all Lin Mu's savings over the past three years.

Spirit stones contain abundant spiritual energy, which can speed up the practice. At the same time, spirit stones are also the most basic currency in the world of cultivation. For cultivators, spirit stones are extremely important and indispensable.

Lin Mu never wanted to use spirit stones for cultivation, as he thought it was too extravagant, and he practiced hard every time. After three years of hard work, he actually saved more than forty low-grade spirit stones.

This is all Lin Mu's current belongings.

After carefully wrapping the cloth bag again, Lin Mu walked out of the courtyard and headed towards Luoxia Peak.

Luoxia Peak is adjacent to Lin Mu's current residence, Xifeng, and is famous for its particularly beautiful sunset glow at sunset.

When Lin Mu came to Luoxia Peak, he had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, which was far away from his current life, so he went straight to the Sutra Pavilion.

The Sutra Library was built on the top of Luoxia Peak, opposite to the Baiwu Pavilion. The Sutra Library is a three-story wooden building that looks extremely simple and natural.

Because it was evening, there were few people in the Sutra Library. An old man with a ruddy face sat cross-legged behind the door of the pavilion, closing his eyes to rest. He was the one guarding the Sutra Library. Lin Mu couldn't tell the depth of his cultivation at all. He bowed silently and walked into the Sutra Library.

From beginning to end, the old man seemed to be unaware and didn't even open his eyes.

The Sutra Library is divided into three floors. The mental methods treasured in each floor are different. The higher you go, the higher the grade of the mental methods inside.

Lin Mu is only at the third level of Qi Refining now, and can only walk around on the first floor of the Sutra Library.

In the Sutra Library, rows of red sandalwood frames are neatly arranged. Each wooden frame is divided into many small squares, and a jade slip floats in each small square. To facilitate the disciples' reference, each wooden shelf is marked with a classification, such as mental skills, sword skills, or magic skills.

Qianyu Sword Sect is a sword-cultivating sect. The majority of the scriptures in this Sutra Library are sword skills, followed by mental skills, and there are very few magic skills.

Lin Mu walked forward, passing through rows of wooden shelves, and finally found the five elements magic skills next to a wooden shelf in the corner.

With a casual grab, a jade slip floating in the cyclone appeared in his hand. He input spiritual power into it, and a text emerged in his mind.

"Red Fire Skill", one of the five elements magic skills, requires five low-grade spirit stones.

Lin Mu picked up another one and input spiritual power into it, which was exactly the same as the above.

"Genjin Skill", one of the five elements magic skills, requires five low-grade spirit stones.

...

He picked up several jade slips in a row, and they were almost the same as the above.

He picked up another one carelessly and input spiritual power into it. This time, his face changed drastically and hesitantly.

"Basic Five Elements Magic", including "Gengjin Magic", "Cultivation Magic", "Green Water Magic", "Red Fire Magic", "Thick Earth Magic", and twenty low-grade spirit stones.

All five basic planting magics are included!

Buying this jade slip can save five low-grade spirit stones compared to buying the five magics separately. But spending twenty low-grade spirit stones at once is a big pressure for him, as it is half of his savings. This is why he hesitated.

Compared with other spells, these five basic planting techniques are cheap enough. Because the attack power of planting techniques is extremely limited, few people will buy them unless they are planters.

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment and decided to buy them.

First, he has five elements spiritual roots, and he happens to be able to practice all the five elements techniques here; second, he can save five low-grade spiritual stones, which is more cost-effective in the long run. Third, the planting techniques must be bought, and the spiritual fields in the Xuanyue space must not be left barren, which is too wasteful.

Lin Mu made a decision and walked towards the door of the pavilion with the "Basic Five Elements Techniques" jade slip.

When he came to the old man, Lin Mu saw that the old man was sleeping soundly, and he couldn't bear to disturb him. He was about to stand aside and wait for a while. The old man suddenly woke up, his eyes were like a deep pool, calm and unfathomable.

Lin Mu hurriedly bowed: "I have already selected the jade slip, please take a look."

The old man took the jade slip, glanced at it lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Twenty low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Mu hurriedly took out the cloth bag, counted out twenty spirit stones, and handed them to the old man with both hands.

The spirit stones disappeared as soon as they reached the old man's hand, and he had put them in the storage bag hanging on his waist. After handing the jade slip to Lin Mu, the old man said in a flat tone: "Go."

Lin Mu bowed again and bowed, then quietly left the Sutra Library.

After Lin Mu left the Sutra Library, a smile appeared on the old man's calm face, and he nodded imperceptibly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes that seemed to be open but not closed. Then he returned to normal, continued to close his eyes and rest, lifeless, like an old man who was about to die.
