Chapter 281 Body Fixation Technique
After Xu Mu chose the body-fixing surgery, Li Youlan quickly sent someone to deliver the magic jade slip. As for the price paid in the process, Li Youlan didn't say, and Xu Mu didn't ask.
Both of them are smart people and don't need to explain things too clearly.
Putting his spiritual thoughts into the jade slip, Xu Mu quickly accepted the message inside, and the jade slip was shattered into pieces.
This is just an ordinary magic jade slip and can only be used once.
"Is it possible that so few people practice such a practical spell? It turns out the effect is so weak!"
Only after reading the jade slips did Xu Mu understand why no one had ever seen anyone use the body-holding technique.
According to the introduction in the jade slip, this ninth-level body-holding technique can only be used to hold practitioners in the late stages of foundation building if they have mastered it.
Only when you have cultivated to a perfect level can you have an effect on the early stage of the golden elixir, but you can only focus on one breath. In the middle stage of the golden elixir, you can only focus on one-tenth of the breath. In the late stage of the golden elixir, you can only focus on one percent of the breath.
It is not that easy to cultivate a ninth-level spell to a perfect level, but it turns out that it can only be used to bully the weak, which is really not cost-effective.
"Fortunately, I have a system. As long as I upgrade it to the extraordinary level, it will have good effects in battle!"
This is also one of the benefits of the system. Many seemingly useless spells can have unexpected effects as long as they are promoted to the extraordinary level, such as the seventh-level Void Transformation Technique.
It took Xu Mu three days to improve his body-holding technique to an extraordinary level. He could perform it as soon as he thought about it, but the specific effect was still unclear.
"It doesn't take long, as long as I can hold my breath for half a breath, it's enough for me to decide the winner!"
Xu Mu's requirements are not too high.
At this time, news came from Li Youlan, informing him that it was time to set off.
There are a total of six people participating this time. Except for Li Youlan, who is required to participate in the team leader, and Xu Mu himself, the other four people are Qiao Qianqian, Hong Xi, Jia Zhiyi, and Xu Lingyu.
Except for knowing a little about Xu Lingyu, he didn't know much about the strength of the other three. He only heard Li Youlan introduce them once and knew that Qiao Qianqian was a spiritual planter, Hong Xi was a body refining monk, and Jia Zhiyi was a beast control master.
According to Xu Mu's guess, the strength of the three of them should be stronger than the ordinary golden elixir in the early stage, but it should be limited.
After everyone gathered together, under the leadership of Li Youlan, everyone arrived at the palace to use the teleportation array. After some detours, they arrived at a desolate countryside.
There are only some low shrubs and a few inconspicuous hills nearby, and the spiritual energy is thin.
Farther away, there are several small spiritual veins, and there are also families stationed in the foundation building stage.
Xu Mu released his spiritual thoughts to check the surrounding situation, and soon noticed that in the void in front of him, there were faint fluctuations emanating from the formation.
Not long after, a powerful spiritual thought at the Nascent Soul stage swept across several people, and then an entrance appeared in the void in front of them.
Li Youlan flew in without hesitation, followed by five people.
After breaking through the formation barrier, six people appeared in the sky above a black stone forest.
Compared to the outside world, the aura here is much richer, but a bit cold, unlike the normal aura of heaven and earth.
Everyone was in no mood to pay attention to the spiritual energy. The moment they entered, the first thing they noticed was a large amount of golden elixir stage aura.
In the Black Stone Forest, a large number of Golden Core monks were gathering at this time. As they entered, the spiritual thoughts of these Golden Core monks were overwhelming. Fortunately, they were just checking briefly and had no intention of taking action.
These people are obviously here to participate in the training, and there are a few acquaintances among them, the same people who made alchemy in Tianlao last time.
In addition, there are three Nascent Soul monks with powerful auras, staying alone together.
"Sister, you are finally here! I thought you would be later!"
A young man with an elegant temperament, wearing a brocade and white robe, and a black double dragon jade pendant around his waist, flew up to greet him with a smile.
Behind the young man were Wu Chun and Xie Chu, Xu Mu's acquaintances.
"elder brother!"
A smile appeared on Li Youlan's face.
The only person who could be called so affectionately by Li Youlan was her compatriot brother.
"I have met His Highness the Fifth Prince!"
Xu Mu and others stepped forward and bowed.
"You must be Xu Mu! I heard Wu Chun say that today's meeting is indeed extraordinary!"
The fifth prince looked at Xu Mu and praised with a smile.
"Your Highness, thank you!"
A few people said a few words, and then, led by the fifth prince, they landed on the ground.
Except for the fifth prince, no one else had any intention of making friends with Li Youlan.
Everyone is eyeing the throne. Except for siblings like the fifth prince and Li Youlan, who are from the same mother, it is generally difficult to make friends with each other because no one knows whether they will turn against each other in the end.
Even if you make friends on the surface, you may stab someone behind your back.
And even if they are sincere, it is obviously more beneficial to keep the relationship hidden.
Instead of a warm friendship, he received a lot of hostile looks, especially from one of the arrogant girls who wanted to kill him.
Xu Mu looked around and saw that the girl was indeed staring at him.
What the hell?
I don't know her at all?
Xu Mu sent a message to Wu Chun: "Fellow Daoist Wu, do you know that girl? Why is she looking at me with such hatred?"
Wu Chun looked back, and after seeing the girl, he quickly looked away.
"That is the Seventh Princess. As for why I hate you——"
Wu Chun smiled bitterly: "Remember the last mission! The two confidants sent by the seventh princess all died inside!"
"Of course I remember! But what does this have to do with that mission? I wasn't the one who killed her confidant!" Xu Mu said a little confused.
"You should know the temper of this princess. It's not important whether you are. What's important is that you once had a conflict with her men. She thinks she has something to do with you. That's enough! Not just you, everyone alive She is all hostile, but you may need to receive attention!" Wu Chun said.
"..."
Xu Mu was speechless.
What kind of brain circuit does this woman have?
No wonder people in the imperial capital are spreading rumors that this princess is unruly and unreasonable.
Just as he was complaining in his heart, a strange divine message came over.
"After entering the secret realm, come over and let me search for your soul, otherwise this princess will make your life worse than death!"
Xu Mu looked up and saw that the seventh princess was making murderous gestures towards him.
"..."
grass!
This woman is really sick in the head!
At this moment, another cold gaze came over.
He was a young man wearing a golden robe, holding an iron folding fan in his hand, and with an evil smile on his face.
When he saw Xu Mu, the young man put away his folding fan and gestured towards him with cupped fists, and Xu Mu instinctively returned the gesture.
"That's my second brother, you'd better be careful!"
This time it was Li Youlan who sent a message to remind him.
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Mu was a little confused.
"Last time, two of his disciples died in Tianlao. He always wanted to use Soul Search on the few of you who survived, but my master and the others blocked him. He didn't think it was necessary!"
"..."
Xu Mu was speechless.
Who are these people?
Just because he was angry, he was tortured to death.
Xu Mu even regretted coming to the imperial capital to help Li Youlan.
Entering the secret realm trial this time, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful.
Another half day passed, and as all the princes and princesses who met the requirements arrived, the secret trial officially began.
