Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Second Spiritual Movement
Shi Mu quickly stopped running the Red Ape Kungfu, and the red light on his body dissipated. After a while, black and white light appeared on his two arms, which spread towards his body and met near his chest. The black and white light slowly merged into the together.
After a while, the black and white rays of light faded away.
A look of deep thought flashed across Shi Mu's face, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be some connection between the Immortal Extinguishing Stick Technique taught by the Patriarch Bai Yuan and the Nine Turns Mysterious Art.
But then, he sighed with some regret.
Although the power of chaos produced by the three-turn yin and yang is strong, after all, he is only practicing the improved version of the small nine-turn mystic art, which is still somewhat different from the pure nine-turn mystic art of Zhao Ji and others.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of blood.
After entering the Holy Land these years, whenever he has time, he will go around Tongliufang and Shengdian Pavilion to collect some information about the beasts in the star field, as well as some unofficial history of bloodline inheritance, but so far he still has nothing. .
He shook his head, temporarily put aside this thought, then stood up and walked towards the outside of the cave.
It's been three years since I left Dongfu, it's time to go back.
A moment later, a red light flew out of this huge spiritual waterfall, turned slightly in mid-air, and flew towards one direction.
...
An hour later.
Outside Shi Mu's spiritual land cave, a ray of red light flew from a distance, and soon fell to the entrance of the cave, the flames subsided, and Shi Mu's figure appeared.
"Meet the Palace Master!"
For some reason, there were two attendants standing at the entrance of the cave. When they saw Shi Mu, they hurried forward and bowed to salute.
Shi Mu glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything. The two probably saw that Qi Feng had seen him go out again, so they arranged to watch him here, waiting for him to come back.
"Let Qi Feng come and see me." He said lightly, and walked into the cave.
Shi Mu sat down in the main hall, but there was something strange on his face, his brows were slightly frowned.
On the way back to the cave, he found that the second floor of the Holy Land seemed to be a little strange. From time to time, some light flew through the air and headed towards the Xuanling Pagoda in a hurry. This had never happened before.
After all, except for some routine tasks, the thousand-year-old disciples on the second floor mostly live in secluded places and devote themselves to cultivation, so they would not go out on such a large scale.
After a while, Qi Feng walked in from the outside.
"I have seen the Palace Master." Qi Feng bowed and saluted.
"There is no need to be too polite." Shi Mu said lightly, then looked Qi Feng up and down, his eyes moved,
"Your cultivation has improved a lot. I haven't seen you in just three years. You have already reached the peak of innateness, and you are not far from breaking through the ground level." He said.
Qi Feng was overjoyed, and said respectfully: "It's because of your honor, the Palace Master, that we can come to this mysterious space. The aura of heaven and earth is strong here, and my cultivation base can break through. But the advanced level Ranking is not easy, I am afraid it will take a long time."
"It's a good thing for you to improve your cultivation base. Next, you should prepare well, look for some pills, and spend more spiritual stones from the account. It doesn't matter. Raise your cultivation base to the ground level as soon as possible. I usually focus on cultivation. You still need to take care of it." Shi Mu said.
"Thank you for the great kindness of the palace master." Qi Feng was overjoyed, and quickly fell to the ground.
"It doesn't have to be like this. If you do everything for me, I will naturally not treat you badly." Shi Mu waved his sleeves, and Qi Feng was lifted up by a wave of potential.
"Palace Master, don't worry, the matter of the spiritual land is all on my shoulders." Qi Feng said hastily.
"I called you here because I have something to ask you..." Shi Mu nodded, and then told the strange things about the Holy Land that he saw on the road.
"Regarding this matter, my subordinates have also specially investigated it. During the period when you went out to retreat, Palace Master, something seems to have happened to the sect. Many thousand-year-old disciples in the mysterious space have been sent out. It seems that they are going to execute some sect. The task, but what the specific task is, the subordinates do not know." Qi Feng said.
Shi Mu nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't care much about this matter in his heart.
Qi Feng then reported to Shi Mu the harvest of the spiritual land in the past three years. The spiritual land in the Xuan-level space benefited far more than the previous Huang-level spiritual land. In addition, Shi Mu won three lands from the Liaoshan three. For Lingpu, the income of Lingdi in three years is unexpectedly large, which is a surprise.
Shi Mu made a lot of money from the big game before, and now he has just obtained a large amount of resources from the White Ape Treasure. His net worth is quite rich. He doesn't pay much attention to these incomes, but he is quite happy at the moment , ordered Qi Feng to reward the servants of Lingdi well, and then let Qi Feng retreat.
Shi Mu strolled to the secret room and sat down cross-legged.
At this moment, he has completed the third round of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Art. If he wants to go further, he will probably need decades of painstaking practice.
He also did a lot of understanding in advance of the process of advancing from the earth rank to the heaven rank.
Shi Mu closed his eyes and kept his mind inside, the zhenqi in the spiritual sea was condensed like mercury, and the vortex of the original zhenqi also formed a sphere at this moment.
From the ground level to the heavenly level, the true energy in the spiritual sea will also undergo earth-shaking changes. From the liquid true energy to the solid golden core form, it can be regarded as the heavenly level.
Due to this change in the spiritual sea, in some star fields, the Celestial Realm will also be called the Golden Core Realm.
However, before you can really advance to the golden elixir, you need to cultivate the ground level to the state of great perfection, which is commonly known as the "fake elixir state".
Shi Mu's current cultivation base is still a little short of the fake alchemy realm.
He thought about it for a while, and decided to retreat for a while again, and try it first.
Shi Mu waved his hand and shot out several rays of light, and a burst of light lit up outside the cave, condensing into several layers of magic circles to wrap the cave layer by layer.
He turned his hand and took out a Yangzhi Pill and took it, closed his eyes and practiced, his body glowed red.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and in the secret room, Shi Mu opened his eyes, his body surrounded by red light, forming a nearly perfect sphere.
He frowned slightly and sighed.
Three months of painstaking training, but unfortunately his cultivation base has not yet reached the false alchemy state, it is always a little bit short.
"It seems that the false alchemy state is not so easy to achieve. Let's look for the thousand-year-old fire ginseng according to the Red Ape Fire Sutra." Shi Mu murmured.
At the end of the Red Ape Fire Sutra, it mentioned a method to cultivate the Fire Sutra to Dzogchen, which is to use a rare fire ginseng to prepare a kind of spiritual liquid, take it continuously for seventy-seven forty-nine days, and use the power of fire ginseng , a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
Originally, Shi Mu didn't plan to use this method and rely on hard work to achieve it, but now it seems that he underestimated the bottleneck of the false alchemy realm.
Thinking in his heart, he suddenly stood up and walked outside.
A moment later, a ray of red light flew out of the spiritual land and headed towards the Xuanling Pagoda.
...
Half a day later, a young man in green robe walked out of Tianbao Pavilion in Tongliufang, it was Shi Mu.
It's just that at this moment, his face seems to be a little unsightly.
The fat steward accompanied him with an apologetic smile, and sent him out.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I'm really sorry, but the thousand-year-old fire ginseng is a rare treasure, and I, Tianbao Pavilion, haven't traded this thing for nearly a hundred years." The fat manager apologized.
Shi Mu is now a thousand-year-old disciple, so the fat steward naturally respects and flatters him more and more.
"The shopkeeper is serious. Shi also knows that this item is hard to find, but there are many shopkeepers. Please pay attention to Shi. If there is a thousand-year-old fire ginseng, please let me know." Shi Mu said.
"Of course, I'll order to make arrangements to investigate this matter for Fellow Daoist Shi." The fat steward said.
"Thank you." Shi Mu cupped his hands, and then walked towards the distance.
Seeing Shi Mu walking away, the fat steward immediately walked towards the store and took out a white communication token.
With his hands behind his back, Shi Mu walked on the streets of Tongliufang, frowning.
Before he came to Tongliufang, he had already inquired in the Zongmen's Baizhen Valley, Xianyaozhai and other places, but he did not find a thousand-year-old fire ginseng. Tongliufang was his last hope, and he did not expect it.
Shi Mu pondered for a long time, considering whether to issue a mission to Wanfa Pavilion to find thousand-year-old fire ginseng, anyway, he has quite a lot of mysterious spirit points now.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Shi? It's been a long time." At this moment, a voice came from the side.
Shi Mu's face changed, and he turned his head to look over, and saw a young man in white standing at the door of a shop not far away, looking over with a smile on his face, it was the one who had been the referee for the competition between him and Liaoshan and others The millennium disciple Xu Yuan.
"Senior Brother Xu Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm fine." Shi Mu walked over and nodded.
"Junior brother Shi, came to Tongliufang today, do you want to buy something? Mr. Xu is not talented, and he has opened several shops in Tongliufang. If Junior Brother Shi needs help, Mr. Xu can help." Xu Yuan laughed.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and then he smiled and said, "Senior brother Xu is so amazing. As a thousand-year-old disciple, there are already several shops in this Tongliufang. It's really promising. It makes Shi feel ashamed."
"Junior Brother Shi, you are too polite. Xu also opened a few shops with the help of his family, which is nothing." Xu Yuan laughed.
The two laughed and chatted for a while, and Shi Mu brought the topic to the purpose of his trip: "Shi came to Tongliufang today to buy a rare item, but unfortunately he couldn't find it after searching several places. "
"Oh, what is it?" Xu Yuan asked.
"Shi wants a thousand-year-old fire ginseng. The longer the year the better. I wonder if Senior Brother Xu Yuan can help find it?" Shi Mu looked at Xu Yuan with hope, and said.
"Thousand-year fire ginseng!" Xu Yuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he pondered for a moment.
"Junior Brother Shi, if you're not in a hurry, you might as well sit in the shop for a while. Xu needs some time to investigate," he said.
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Senior Brother Xu." Shi Mu said, followed Xu Yuan into the shop, and sat down in a side hall.
Xu Yuan arranged for attendants to serve him, served spirit tea and spirit fruit, and hurried out.
Shi Mu was not in the mood to drink tea. After sitting in the side hall for half an hour, Xu Yuan walked in from the outside with a slightly apologetic wry smile on his face.
Shi Mu's heart sank, and he secretly sighed.
"I'm really sorry. Xu just investigated and couldn't find the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old fire ginseng. I also asked in the family, but there is no stock." Xu Yuan said.
"It's okay, I've been looking for this thing for a while, but I haven't been able to find it, Senior Brother Xu doesn't have to." Shi Mu reluctantly said with a look of disappointment on his face.
"You don't have to be disappointed, Junior Brother Shi. Although there is no such thing in Xu's store, I just asked a few thousand-year-old disciples, and I got some unexpected results." Xu Yuan said so, changing the subject. (To be continued.)
