Chapter 51 Speculations

Lin Mu's sea of ​​consciousness was in turmoil.

The pain was like a needle prick, like a tide, coming in waves, surging endlessly.

The consequences of the backlash of the consciousness were very serious!

After all, Zhang Ruoxu had already established his foundation. Although his realm was not yet stable, his consciousness was much stronger than Lin Mu's.

The backlash of the consciousness at that moment almost caused Lin Mu's sea of ​​consciousness to collapse.

When the fireball was unavoidable, Lin Mu used the "Geng Jin Jue" to force Zhang Ruoxu to save himself.

Lin Mu seized this opportunity and took advantage of Zhang Ruoxu's "Earth Wall Technique" and the moment when his consciousness was negligent, he suddenly launched the "Spiritual Stab".

This trick really worked, and Zhang Ruoxu immediately fell into a dizziness.

At this critical moment, Lin Mu flashed into the Xuanyue space and avoided the fatal blow.

Lin Mu's mind was extremely clear at this moment. The waves of pain came, and every bit of pain was magnified countless times, making him suffer.

Lin Mu endured great pain and hatred in his heart!

Although Mu Qing did not appear in this thrilling fight, Lin Mu knew that Mu Qing was involved.

Lin Mu also had his own guesses about the short and fat man who fought with him.

Lin Mu carefully recalled the process of the fight, and the spells used by the short and fat man flashed through his mind one by one.

"Water Arrow Spell", "God Movement Spell", "Fireball Spell", and "Earth Wall Spell"!

All of them are low-level spells!

This person has obviously just built a foundation, and has at least three spiritual roots! He is particularly good at earth-based spells, and the defense of "Earth Wall Spell" is far better than that of ordinary people.

Lin Mu thought of the people who built a foundation recently, and the answer was about to come out!

Zhang Ruoxu!

That person must be Zhang Ruoxu!

Lin Mu clearly remembered that on the night when six people built their foundations in a row, a light gray light rose in the direction of Nuanyun Valley, and that person was Zhang Ruoxu.

Mu Qing and Zhang Ruoxu.

One is extremely beautiful, and the other is extremely kind. Normally, everyone wants to get close to them, thinking that they are all good people.

But Lin Mu felt a chill in his heart at this moment, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The appearance of a person is completely inconsistent with his inner heart, and it is filthy.

Lin Mu originally thought that he had also slowly learned to calculate and was no longer innocent.

But compared with these two people, Mu Qing and Zhang Ruoxu's calculations made him feel extremely naive.

He actually believed Mu Qing's words easily, and came to Wangyun Peak in a daze.

If it weren't for the Xuanyue Pei, he would have been killed on the spot.

In fact, as early as when Mu Qing asked Lin Mu to help him refine the elixir, Lin Mu guessed that Mu Qing had already doubted him.

At that time, Lin Mu's success rate in refining the elixir was less than 80%, but in order to dispel Mu Qing's doubts, Lin Mu took out the spiritual herbs he planted and refined the Juling Pill to fill the gap and make up for 80%.

Afterwards, Lin Mu thought that Mu Qing no longer doubted him.

When Mu Qing asked him to help with the alchemy again, he hesitated for a while, but he still helped in the end.

Mu Qing also succeeded in building his foundation.

So, later Mu Qing sent a paper talisman, saying that he wanted to thank him and gave him the recipe for the foundation-building pill.

Lin Mu believed it and thought that his kindness would be rewarded.

But he didn't expect that after arriving at Wangyun Peak, he almost died because of it.

At the same time, Zhang Ruoxu's calculations also frightened Lin Mu.

He was already in the foundation-building stage, and Lin Mu had just reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. There was no suspense about the outcome.

But at the beginning, he did not come out to duel with Lin Mu openly, but hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

This calmness and caution must not have been cultivated overnight. I don't know how many people have died under Zhang Ruoxu's calculations in the past few decades.

All along, Lin Mu was confident that he had not revealed any flaws in the sect.

Every time he made an elixir, he would go to Baiwu Pavilion to buy materials. Others would definitely think that he really had a super talent for alchemy, and over time, they would get used to it.

Although some people would doubt it, no one could be sure that he had a rare treasure.

Lin Mu was not too worried.

But he never expected that Mu Qing and Zhang Ruoxu would be so cruel and want to take his life just because of suspicion.

Lin Mu remembered this grudge deeply in his heart and would take revenge sooner or later.

The sea of ​​consciousness was turbulent, and Lin Mu endured the pain, calmed down and began to practice the "Star Refining Spirit Art".

Generally speaking, it is difficult to heal the injury of the spirit.

The sea of ​​consciousness is the most mysterious place for cultivators, and the spirit is extremely important to cultivators.

Whether it is practicing magic, refining alchemy, refining weapons, or fighting with others, the spirit is indispensable and important.

But in the same way, if the spirit is injured, it must take a long time to slowly recover.

The spirit is completely different from spiritual power.

If the spiritual power is exhausted, it can be recovered slowly by itself, or it can be accelerated by using elixirs, spiritual stones, spiritual veins, etc.

However, the spiritual consciousness is different. If it is exhausted, it can only be recovered slowly by itself. If it is accidentally injured, it is even more difficult to recover.

Although there are some rare elixirs that can restore consciousness, they are all valuable. Ordinary people can't afford them. Even if they are rich and have a lot of spirit stones, they may not be able to buy them. Few people are willing to sell them. Who doesn't want to keep such a treasure for themselves?

But "Star Refining Spirit Art" is different. It is a rare art that can train and enhance consciousness. It is naturally beneficial to the recovery of consciousness.

Lin Mu's consciousness is injured at this moment, and "Star Refining Spirit Art" can come in handy.

The effect is very significant!

Every hour, Lin Mu feels a little less pain and a little cooler.

The turbulence in the sea of ​​consciousness has slowly calmed down under the repair of "Star Refining Spirit Art", but there are still aftereffects.

Lin Mu is immersed in cultivation and almost forgets the passage of time...

Three days later.

The internal competition begins again.

Qianyu Peak is crowded with people. The competition has reached a critical moment. The most intense part is about to come. Many disciples come to watch.

Some people just came to watch the fun, while others came with the intention of learning and accumulating experience for the next competition.

Before the competition started, some people had already begun to speculate who would be in the top eleven this time.

The first place was undisputed, and everyone agreed that it was Xiang Yi, who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Xiang Yi was extremely talented, and he had dual spiritual roots of water and fire, so his strength was extraordinary. Among the eighteen people who had tried to build their foundation last time, there was Xiang Yi. Although he failed to try, his strength was stronger than that of ordinary cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and his spiritual power was more powerful and long-lasting.

In the eyes of most people, the top five would be taken by cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

But some people raised objections.

They believed that there was a cultivator who, although not at the tenth level of Qi Refining, was equally powerful, and it was not difficult for him to enter the top five.

This person was Luo Yun.

This genius, who was rare in the sect for a century, had just reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but his strength was remarkable.

In this competition, Luo Yun was the most amazing one.

All the cultivators who fought against him could hardly survive two rounds under his hands. There were cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining, but they were defeated just as quickly as cultivators at the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining, without any suspense.

Many of the outer disciples who came to watch today came just for Luo Yun.

After the fifty true disciples arrived, the competition began.

The two inner disciples began to draw lots.

"One hundred and twenty-seven Lin Hai" the male disciple read out.

"One thousand three hundred and seventy-eight Sha Yun" the female disciple followed closely and read out.

The two disciples who heard their names hurriedly ran to their venues.

...

The two disciples who were drawing lots continued.

The male disciple drew out a waist card and read out: "Eight hundred and thirty-five Pei Peng."

The female disciple smiled and said: "Thirty-six Luo Yun!"

There was a cheer from the audience, and they followed Luo Yun and swarmed to Luo Yun's competition venue.

The draw was still going on, and the two inner disciples kept calling out the names of the contestants.

"Number 666 Lin Mu"

"Number 783 Gong Xiang"

...

Gong Xiang walked quickly to the 46th venue.

His opponent was Lin Mu, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

He had heard a little about Lin Mu's deeds, and knew that he was not a simple person.

Even though he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, Gong Xiang was not very sure that he could easily beat Lin Mu.

But when Gong Xiang walked into the venue, he did not see Lin Mu.

There were not many people around the venue, and it was obvious that they did not expect much from this competition.

Luo Tong, a true disciple, stood beside the venue, quietly waiting for the two to enter.

Gong Xiang waited for a while in the venue, but still did not see Lin Mu, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Did he give up?

Gong Xiang thought optimistically in his heart.

If that was the case, it would be really lucky, and he could advance smoothly without a fierce battle.

Luo Tong was also waiting anxiously. He had heard of Lin Mu's name. Moreover, Luo Tong was the judge of Lin Mu's first competition. In Luo Tong's opinion, Lin Mu was a kind person with a good heart. He would not do anything to win.

But having a good impression is one thing, and not participating in the competition is another.

"Wait another quarter of an hour. If he still doesn't come, you win this competition." Luo Tong waited for a while and turned back to Gong Xiang.

Gong Xiang was happy and hurriedly said, "It's okay, wait a little longer."

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Mu's figure still did not appear.

Gong Xiang was overjoyed, but his face pretended to be calm, as if he didn't care.

Luo Tong sighed, turned around, and prepared to announce the result of the competition.
