Chapter 1419: The Path of Formation
Three foundation-building cultivators fell, and Lin Mu completely relaxed.
With this hidden danger removed, his next plan could be implemented soon.
"Qingmei, put away their storage bags and flying swords."
Lin Mu told Xiao Qingmei.
Then, he withdrew his consciousness.
A moment later, Xiao Qingmei urged the flying sword and flew back.
Lin Mu saw that she was uneasy and seemed to be worried.
Lin Mu knew the reason, but she didn't say much.
This is a necessary path. It takes some time to accept the first killing of a cultivator.
The cruelty of this cultivation world has only just revealed the tip of the iceberg to Xiao Qingmei.
Xiao Qingmei still has a long way to go.
Lin Mu wants her to become a strong person, a real strong person!
Instead of Xiao Qingmei being safe and stable under his protection.
This is not what Lin Mu wants.
In fact, Lin Mu had this in mind. He didn't want Xiao Qingmei to be hurt, but he couldn't do it.
Because even if he was so powerful and had so many trump cards, he almost disappeared because of bad luck.
Can he guarantee Xiao Qingmei's absolute safety?
Can he protect Xiao Qingmei all the time?
After all, Xiao Qingmei still needs to face these things by herself.
"Master, is my performance this time very bad?"
Xiao Qingmei handed three storage bags and three flying swords to Lin Mu and asked nervously.
"Not bad!"
Lin Mu's voice was indifferent, without praise or criticism, "You were able to resist the attacks of three cultivators of the same level alone at the beginning, and later you killed a foundation-building cultivator by yourself. This performance is also remarkable."
Lin Mu told the truth.
It was good that Xiao Qingmei could do this in the first battle.
However, Lin Mu had high expectations for Xiao Qingmei.
Because Xiao Qingmei's true strength is stronger than those three cultivators.
Lin Mu was able to fight against the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.
Xiao Qingmei is now in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Not to mention defeating the Spiritual Silence cultivators in the Spirit Refining Stage, she should be able to crush the cultivators of the same stage.
Lin Mu couldn't say that he was disappointed with Xiao Qingmei's battle, but he was not very satisfied.
"Those three people are not as strong as me. They don't even know sword skills."
Xiao Qingmei took the initiative to say, "I'm too stupid. I'm obviously stronger than them, but I was messed up by them and couldn't handle it."
"When you fight again, you have concerns in your heart."
Lin Mu revealed the truth, "I don't know what you are worried about. Maybe you don't want to kill people, or it may be the first time to fight, and you are a little scared. It may also be that you don't know the difference in strength between the two sides and dare not let go. I believe that after this battle, all your concerns will be dispelled."
"Yeah."
Xiao Qingmei nodded, "I am really scared. Being besieged by three people, I was panicked, and I was even more scared when I saw someone die. "
"But I'm much better now."
Xiao Qingmei pretended to be relaxed and said, "I know they are all bad guys, they deserve it, they deserve to die!"
"You will gain a lot from this battle if you experience it well."
Lin Mu inspired, "Think about it, if you rush over once, facing the attack of these three cultivators, how should you deal with it, when should you attack head-on, when should you defend, when defending, do you need to use sword skills, or just use an ordinary sword move to resist, you can think about all these. "
Xiao Qingmei nodded repeatedly.
She immediately sat cross-legged not far from Lin Mu and entered a meditative state.
Lin Mu urged his spiritual consciousness to erase the spiritual consciousness marks on the three storage bags and check the treasures in the three storage bags.
These three foundation-building cultivators have extremely ordinary wealth.
In addition to each person having about a thousand low-grade spirit stones, the main magic tools are three flying swords. There are a few other jade slips of cultivation techniques, but they are all ordinary cultivation techniques, so Lin Mu naturally doesn't like them.
However, Lin Mu can use these jade slips.
As for the storage bag, Lin Mu can also sacrifice one for his own use.
After taking a look, Lin Mu thought about how to distribute these gains.
"A Qing, Xiao Hei, come here."
Lin Mu immediately summoned the blue fox demon and the black rhino.
"I have just counted the harvest this time."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "This storage bag belongs to you."
While speaking, Lin Mu handed a storage bag to the black rhino.
The black rhino took the storage bag and looked excited, "No wonder the cultivators want to kill each other, it turns out that the harvest is so good!"
"A storage bag is worth a lot of money. I couldn't afford it at the beginning."
The black rhino played with the storage bag and couldn't let it go.
"Killing people for treasures can be said to be lucrative. There are many cultivators who become rich overnight, but you must also know that since the other party has so much wealth and resources, their strength is also very strong."
Lin Mu warned the black rhino, "Those who kill will be killed. Remember, never take the initiative to kill people for treasures. Of course, if others want to kill you, that's another matter."
"If I am sure that the person is weaker than me, will I not kill him?"
The black rhino asked back.
"First, you can't really determine the other party's strength, because any cultivator will have his own trump card to save his life!"
Lin Mu said seriously, "My cultivation level is the same as yours now, but is my strength considered bad?"
Lin Mu smiled faintly, "Now you, I can kill you hundreds of times with my eyes closed!"
The black rhino was speechless.
He couldn't refute it at all.
"Second, if the other party didn't provoke you, or he is a good person, why do you want to kill him?"
Lin Mu asked back, "I hope you can become a strong man, but I don't want you to use such means. A cultivator, even if it is against the will of heaven, must keep his bottom line."
"For a person without a bottom line, who can trust you? Even the people around you have to be careful and wary of you at all times. You will never have real friends, and everyone may become your enemy."
Lin Mu said solemnly, "If you have no bottom line, I may not kill you directly, but I will not let you continue to follow me."
The black rhino looked stern and nodded vigorously.
"I know!"
The black rhino promised, "I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Lin Mu looked at the black rhino and said with satisfaction, "This is worth all my words."
"As a reward, take this flying sword to sacrifice."
Lin Mu smiled and handed a flying sword to the black rhino.
The black rhino happily took the flying sword and didn't want to say more to Lin Mu. He said goodbye to Lin Mu and went to practice the flying sword.
Such impatience made Lin Mu and the blue fox demon smile.
"Take this flying sword and practice it."
Lin Mu handed another flying sword to the blue fox demon.
"Should I practice swordsmanship?"
The blue fox demon looked at Lin Mu and asked.
Until now, she hadn't figured out what path she wanted to take.
Of course, she knew that strength was the most important, but she didn't like fighting.
Swordsmanship was not her favorite either.
"I said, it depends on your choice and your preference."
Lin Mu asked, "Do you know what you like now?"
"I like wisdom!"
The blue fox demon said, "How to control the monsters to form a formation and defeat the strong with the weak, which makes me happier than crushing the opponent with strong strength."
"How to fight wits and courage with the enemy and attack the heart also makes me feel ups and downs and thrilling. I like this feeling very much."
The blue fox demon and Lin Mu shared their hearts.
"I see."
Lin Mu said with a smile, "You should be a military strategist among humans, relying on wisdom to defeat the enemy, while we sword cultivators are brave generals, brave and good at fighting!"
"You are indeed not suitable for sword cultivation. Even if you cultivate sword, although you are smart and your sword attainments are not bad, you don't really like it in your heart, and your achievements will not be too high."
Lin Mu said, "You like to use wisdom, so why not practice the formation that requires the most wisdom."
It takes a lot of wisdom to deduce the formation.
And the master of the formation is also terrifying.
After setting up the formation, you can also fight against the level.
It is even possible to fight against several cultivators.
Of course, the formation is also limited.
It is necessary to set up a large formation in advance. In this way, it is suitable to settle in one place, and it is difficult for others to attack, so you can naturally practice with peace of mind.
Or set up the formation in advance to lure the enemy into the trap.
Lin Mu also dabbled in formations, but he was not a master of formations.
After he set up the formations, he mainly relied on his own strength to fight the enemy. For him, the formations only had one effect, which was to trap the enemy and prevent them from escaping.
In fact, the real formations have very strong attack power.
And formation masters do not only set up large formations, such as the mountain protection formation.
There are also powerful formations in magic tools and magic treasures.
The more powerful the magic treasure, the more complex and powerful the formation engraved inside.
And masters in this area are particularly rare.
Lin Mu mainly practices swordsmanship, and he cannot waste too much time in this area, so he can only dabble in it.
Now he wants to let the blue fox demon practice formations.
In the long run, this is also a very beneficial thing for him.
In terms of fighting, Lin Mu can handle it on his own.
Although Xiao Qingmei has not yet shown her strong strength, she has unlimited potential.
"But who should I learn from?"
The green fox demon said, "Monsters are so stupid, and formation masters are basically cultivators. Are they willing to teach me?"
"This is indeed a problem."
Lin Mu said, "In fact, the master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual. As long as you learn the basics of the formation, you can deduce the rest by yourself, and you don't necessarily have to become a disciple."
"But everything is difficult at the beginning. How can I get started?"
The green fox demon asked.
"How about this, you and Qingmei go to the market again."
Lin Mu said, "Buy some formation jade slips and I will help you comprehend them and see if I can get you started."
The green fox demon's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Lin Mu's wisdom is extraordinary, and he can learn without a teacher.
If he had the formation jade slips, Lin Mu would definitely be able to learn it if he just studied it!
Bringing her into the circle is not just a pipe dream!
