Chapter 1423: Breaking the Shackles

Lin Mu was very pleased with Xiao Qingmei's progress.

In the past six months, Xiao Qingmei has accumulated a lot of combat experience under his unreasonable torture.

She has developed her own style in fighting.

The reason why she couldn't fight Lin Mu for more than three rounds was because Lin Mu never let her win.

Although Lin Mu limited his strength to the same level as Xiao Qingmei.

But at the beginning, he only used sword moves, which was enough to easily defeat Xiao Qingmei in three rounds.

Later, sword moves could no longer do anything to Xiao Qingmei.

When Xiao Qingmei attacked, the flaws were very large at the beginning, and a sword move was enough to make her lose.

But as her strength and experience increased, Xiao Qingmei's flaws became smaller and smaller while she attacked, and even later, some of the seemingly flaws were actually traps she deliberately left.

Moreover, these small flaws, sometimes even if they were real flaws, could not directly defeat Xiao Qingmei with just a sword move.

Under the same strength, even if Lin Mu was extremely experienced and knew many skills, he could not defeat Xiao Qingmei within three moves with just sword moves.

Later, Lin Mu began to use sword skills.

Sword skills and sword moves, used flexibly.

But Xiao Qingmei was defeated by sword skills.

When Lin Mu used sword skills, Xiao Qingmei was very happy.

She always felt that her master was unfathomable and could easily defeat her with sword moves.

When she saw Lin Mu using sword skills, she knew that her strength had improved a lot.

Now, five months later, Lin Mu and Xiao Qingmei's sparring has completely abandoned sword moves and used sword skills.

However, the sword skills he used were all simple sword skills, and he did not use continuous sword skills.

Under Lin Mu's constant pressure, Xiao Qingmei made another breakthrough in the sword way. She can already do seven consecutive sword skills!

At the peak of the foundation building stage, being able to reach such a level is basically invincible!

Even a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Silence stage is not Xiao Qingmei's opponent.

Of course, Xiao Qingmei's flying sword is still of poor quality.

If the opponent's flying sword is far more powerful than Xiao Qingmei's flying sword, and if his own sword attainments are also acceptable, he can still compete with Xiao Qingmei.

However, such cultivators are a minority after all.

Moreover, Lin Mu is unlikely to let the flying sword hold Xiao Qingmei back.

Refining a top-grade flying sword is actually not very meaningful.

Lin Mu plans to let Xiao Qingmei refine a magic weapon after she condenses the golden elixir, at least a flying sword of the level of the natal magic weapon!

In less than two years, Xiao Qingmei has become a cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage from a mortal who knows nothing, and is only one step away from being able to condense the golden elixir.

With such a great achievement, Lin Mu is happier than he is when he has cultivated to this point.

Lin Mu really wanted to see what kind of achievements Xiao Qingmei could achieve under his full training, and whether she could surpass himself at that time!

At present, there is still great hope!

Although he was famous in the world at that time, and was hailed as the first genius in history, he did not know how many peerless geniuses he had surpassed in the past.

But Xiao Qingmei had an advantage over him at least in the beginning, at this stage.

Xiao Qingmei is only fourteen years old now, and she is about to condense the golden elixir!

If Lin Mu could help Xiao Qingmei refine some rare spiritual medicines needed to condense the golden elixir, Xiao Qingmei would have great hope to become a golden elixir cultivator now!

A fourteen-year-old golden elixir cultivator, it is terrifying to think about it!

Moreover, compared to himself at that time, Xiao Qingmei's talent is not inferior at all. Lin Mu had to do a lot of things before, such as refining elixirs, learning formations, fighting with others, and competing for resources, which took a lot of time.

Xiao Qingmei not only started better than herself, but she also didn't have to waste time on those things. She could practice wholeheartedly.

If she had been like that, she could ignore everything and just practice. Perhaps her sword attainment would have reached more than the late stage of the sword domain.

Although it takes hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of years to improve one's sword attainment to a small realm in the sword domain.

But Lin Mu still has hope to improve his sword attainment to the peak of the sword domain!

The peak of the sword domain!

This is the supreme realm of the cultivator!

It is said that above the sword domain is the world of swords, which is a realm that only immortals can have.

If Lin Mu could comprehend the peak of the sword domain, perhaps there would not be such a big disaster this time.

Of course, he had no choice.

There are many things he had to do.

If he had not created the Piaomiao Fairyland and spent a lot of effort on this, he would not have been able to improve his spiritual consciousness to such a high level.

If the spiritual consciousness is not high enough, the comprehension of the sword domain may be more than ten times slower.

It is even more impossible for him to refine his magic weapon to the level of peerless spiritual treasure.

There is no if.

Lin Mu did almost everything he could do at the beginning, which can be called perfect!

It's just that he was unlucky and failed.

Xiao Qingmei is completely different.

Lin Mu trained her with all his strength. She didn't have to fight for any resources or worry about any elixirs. Lin Mu could give her guidance on many risks and difficulties in cultivation.

Lin Mu was infinitely optimistic about her future and had high expectations.

Naturally, his requirements for Xiao Qingmei were completely different.

Almost harsh, harsh to the extreme.

Xiao Qingmei lost for five consecutive months and didn't win once, but he still didn't let her win once.

In so many failures, ordinary cultivators would probably have been beaten to a pulp and lost their fighting spirit.

But Xiao Qingmei didn't.

Lin Mu also intended to hone Xiao Qingmei's character.

Xiao Qingmei had been going too smoothly and had not experienced any setbacks.

She would not be calm enough when she encountered any difficulties in the future.

This training was very helpful for Xiao Qingmei's improvement of her state of mind.

Lin Mu almost gave everything he had for Xiao Qingmei's growth, and at the same time he was walking on thin ice.

Xiao Qingmei was a piece of unpolished jade, and her future achievements depended entirely on how Lin Mu built her.

Lin Mu was afraid that he would not do enough and delay Xiao Qingmei's future.

Xiao Qingmei was now able to perform seven consecutive sword skills, and with such strength, she could already condense a golden elixir.

However, Lin Mu decided to let Xiao Qingmei continue to settle down and not rush.

Xiao Qingmei's cultivation was now at the peak of the foundation-building stage, and her spiritual power was very condensed due to taking pills and using top-grade spiritual stones for cultivation, plus her hard work in sword practice in the past six months.

In terms of spiritual consciousness, since he practiced the "Star Refining Spirit Art", his spiritual consciousness can be compared with that of a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence Stage.

As for her physique, since she practiced the "Quenching Veins Art", it can also be compared with that of a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Silence Stage.

With such strength, it is enough to impact the Golden Core Stage.

But there are higher expectations for her.

Especially the spiritual consciousness, which is the most important.

Lin Mu knows the importance of spiritual consciousness, especially for the comprehension of the sword. The difference between a spiritual consciousness realm higher than a major realm is a world of difference.

Xiao Qingmei's practice is also considered hard, but she has only been practicing for less than two years.

In such a short time, because she practiced the Five Elements Kung Fu, her foundation-building period is equivalent to that of others in the Spiritual Silence Stage, and the same is true for spiritual consciousness.

Even if she practiced the "Star Refining Spirit Art", her spiritual consciousness was only more tenacious and solid.

In terms of realm, there was no breakthrough.

Now that she cannot use the Misty Fairyland, Lin Mu cannot give her spiritual consciousness essence to let her improve her spiritual consciousness realm.

But Lin Mu hoped that she could condense the golden elixir after she was promoted to the golden elixir stage in the realm of spiritual consciousness.

At the same time, although her sword attainment was now able to perform seven consecutive sword skills, Lin Mu was still not satisfied.

He hoped that Xiao Qingmei could touch the threshold of sword intent before condensing the golden elixir, and perhaps in the golden elixir stage, she could comprehend the sword intent.

In the foundation-building stage, even if the spiritual consciousness was promoted to the golden elixir stage, it was difficult to comprehend the sword intent.

After all, she was different from Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was able to perform the sword intent now because it was an ability he originally possessed, and even so, he spent a lot of effort.

It was indeed unrealistic for Xiao Qingmei to comprehend the sword intent in the foundation-building stage.

Even if she was a five-element sword body, it was basically impossible with Lin Mu's personal guidance.

But there was still hope to reach the realm of great success in sword skills and touch the threshold of sword intent.

Seven consecutive sword skills were not far from the great success of sword skills.

The nine is the ultimate.

Being able to perform nine consecutive sword skills means reaching the great perfection of sword skills.

The gap between seven consecutive shots and nine consecutive shots is already very small.

In terms of sword skills, Lin Mu can still continue to put pressure on Xiao Qingmei and let her keep improving.

However, Xiao Qingmei has reached a bottleneck in terms of spiritual consciousness. It is difficult for her to rely on her own strength to break through the bottleneck of the realm and promote her spiritual consciousness to the Golden Core stage.

This requires external objects to promote it.

There are not many external objects that can improve spiritual consciousness. The most effective and fastest is naturally the essence of spiritual consciousness.

But Lin Mu cannot use this now.

Then there is only another way.

Rare elixir!

The elixir that improves the realm of spiritual consciousness is not only needed by Xiao Qingmei, but also by Lin Mu.

Lin Mu also hopes that he can condense the golden elixir after his spiritual consciousness reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

However, it is too difficult to make the spiritual consciousness surpass his own cultivation by two major realms.

Lin Mu had the Piaomiao Fairyland before, but he couldn't do this.

To surpass one realm, a genius cultivator can still do it if he has the opportunity.

To surpass two realms, this is not a bottleneck, but a shackle!

Shackles are basically natural barriers, which are basically impossible to break through.

Just like becoming an immortal, there is a theoretical possibility and a glimmer of hope, but Lin Mu has never seen a person who can really become an immortal.

He has never seen a Mahayana cultivator.

Shackles are like this, there is a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, but it is basically impossible to break through.

But even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Lin Mu still wants to give it a try!

He immediately called the green fox demon to come.
