Chapter 143: Lake of Mist
The clouds and mist floated, and time passed by in a flash.
Lin Mu's figure was like a startled rainbow, constantly searching for the blessed land of the caves and heavens. He only passed by many places and rarely stayed.
Before this, Lin Mu had already experienced the vastness of the Tianxiao Realm, and now he was once again impressed by the vastness of the Tianxiao Realm.
The Tianxiao Realm was so large that it was unknown how many tens of millions of miles it was. There were many sects, and the mortal dynasties were like stars in the sky, everywhere, and the population was countless.
Lin Mu had no intention of admiring the scenery or paying attention to human feelings. His only goal was to find an uninhabited blessed land of the caves and heavens, and then practice with peace of mind.
But this wish was not easy to achieve.
Along the way, Lin Mu saw quite a few blessed lands of the caves and heavens, but what was frustrating was that every blessed land of the caves and heavens had already been occupied by people.
Some of these blessed lands of the caves and heavens were as high as the fifth grade, and they were all occupied by large sects. The strength of these sects was not much inferior to that of the Qianyu Sword Sect. Some caves and blessed lands are of very low grade, usually of the second grade, and some are even only of the first grade. Those who cultivate in such caves and blessed lands are either some independent cultivators or some declining immortal cultivation families.
Lin Mu has seen no less than a hundred caves and blessed lands of all sizes, but none of them are suitable for him.
Lin Mu cannot get his hands on high-grade caves and blessed lands at all, as they have long been monopolized by major sects.
Lin Mu does not care about low-grade caves and blessed lands at all, and the first-grade caves and blessed lands are pure chicken ribs to him.
His eyes are on those second-grade or third-grade caves and blessed lands.
Lin Mu has also found a dozen of such caves and blessed lands.
It is a pity that in most cases, before Lin Mu enters these caves and blessed lands, someone comes out and drives him out.
Occasionally, one or two caves and blessed lands are occupied by immortal cultivation families, who actively invite Lin Mu to enter and want to ask Lin Mu to serve as an elder.
Lin Mu thought about it and resolutely refused.
He just wanted to practice quietly. Other people's affairs had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have so much energy to deal with others.
The lessons of Shi Weihan and Qian Fuzi were still vivid in his mind, and Lin Mu didn't dare to go into the water easily again.
Among them, there was a cave paradise that Lin Mu was most excited about.
This cave paradise was called Miaoyunze, which was a third-grade cave paradise. It was sparsely populated and quiet.
When Lin Mu first discovered this cave paradise, he was surprised, but he landed and went forward to check, and found that there were already people living here.
Lin Mu was extremely disappointed. He talked with the cave master Miao Wuyun and learned that this was the place where the declining sect Miaoyun Sect was located.
Miaoyun Sect was once a big sect. A thousand years ago, it was a powerful sect in the Tianxiao Realm. Now the person with the highest cultivation in the sect is only in the late stage of the Spiritual Silence Period, and there are only two people in the Spiritual Silence Period. These two people invited Lin Mu to stay and jointly revive the Miaoyun Sect, and in the future, kill the Wanjian Sect and wash away the shame.
It was because the Miaoyun Sect was defeated by the Wanjian Sect that it fell from the clouds.
Lin Mu himself still had deep hatred and didn't want to cause more trouble. The strength of the Wanjian Sect was no less than that of the Qianyu Sword Sect, which was not something Lin Mu could shake at present.
Moreover, after Lin Mu's in-depth understanding, he found that there were too many disciples in the Miaoyun Sect, which was in its rising period, and there was no extra spiritual field for him to use.
Lin Mu politely rejected Miao Wuyun's invitation and left.
Lin Mu embarked on a journey of search again. Time passed like water. In a blink of an eye, three months had passed.
During this period, Lin Mu went in and out of the Xuanyue space several times.
The Guiling Pill that was originally refined had been consumed by his parents and Shitou. Fortunately, a new batch of spiritual herbs had matured. Lin Mu helped his father collect the spiritual herbs and prepared more than 1,800 materials.
This time, Lin Mu did not refine it himself. He asked Shitou to start practicing.
These 1,800 materials were enough for Shitou to squander for half a year.
Shitou's alchemy level is too low. Although compared with Lin Mu at that time, Shitou's cultivation is already in the foundation building stage, he also has Zhongsun Fire, and his aptitude is not bad. He is not inferior to Lin Mu in all aspects.
But in terms of experience, he is too far behind and cannot be compared with Lin Mu at all.
At that time, Lin Mu refined no less than 10,000 furnaces of Juling Pills. The experience accumulated in it is definitely not comparable to Shitou, a novice.
Although Lin Mu has no reservations and teaches everything he has learned, experience is something that can only be understood and comprehended after personal experience.
Shitou thought it was easy, but after actually refining it, he realized the difficulty.
After refining it, hundreds of materials were consumed, the effect was not satisfactory, and the success rate barely reached 30%!
This is completely a waste of materials!
But Lin Mu did not say anything, instead he encouraged Shitou and pointed out his shortcomings.
Although Shitou's success rate in alchemy was not high, he was very serious when refining and never slacked off.
The low success rate is understandable now. He started by refining the second-grade elixir, which was too high a starting point. Lin Mu didn't want to be too harsh on him.
You have to experience everything yourself to know the difficulty and make gradual progress, and the same is true for alchemy.
Shitou's perseverance is not bad. With Lin Mu's large supply of materials, he has enough time to explore experience and learn.
Lin Mu simply left these more than a thousand pieces of materials for Shitou to practice with, and went in to give some pointers from time to time.
Lin's father and mother were also not idle. After planting another batch of spiritual herbs, they continued to take elixirs and practice hard under Lin Mu's persuasion.
After arranging his parents and Shitou, Lin Mu continued to look for a blessed land.
He had already visited half of the entire Tianxiao Realm, but had not found a suitable place.
One day, Lin Mu came to a foggy place.
The front was blurry and white, and the area within a few miles was full of fog.
The spiritual energy here is rich, far beyond the ordinary places.
Lin Mu landed, pondered for a while, and resolutely walked into the white fog.
The deeper he went into the white fog, the happier Lin Mu's face became.
The spiritual energy in this white fog was unusually rich, and Lin Mu could be sure that this place was at least a third-grade blessed land.
After walking three or five miles, Lin Mu still hadn't reached the end of the white fog, but the spiritual energy around him became more and more dense.
Suddenly!
Lin Mu's eyes lit up, and there was a change in front of him, no longer the consistent white fog.
A huge lake appeared in front of Lin Mu, the water surface was hazy, the lake was endless, and waves of water mist floated from the water surface, merging with the white fog in the air.
Lin Mu suddenly realized that this diffuse white fog was caused by this lake?
Lake of fog!
This fog that was several miles in radius must be related to this lake.
The lake was full of spiritual energy, and Lin Mu felt refreshed.
With a flash of his cloud boots, Lin Mu immediately took off and flew into the lake.
He wanted to see if there were people living in this lake. If not, then this third-grade cave paradise would belong to him.
Lin Mu's figure was like a rainbow, flying around the lake. An hour later, Lin Mu returned to the original place, with a flash of joy in his eyes.
This lake is no less than ten miles in radius!
Lin Mu flew around and found no trace of human beings. He thought about it and flew to the center of the lake.
In the shadows, Lin Mu vaguely found that there seemed to be a piece of land in front of him.
The light of the cloud-stepping boots flashed, and he flew faster and immediately flew forward.
When he was in the air, Lin Mu smiled. This turned out to be an island.
The island was full of towering trees, dense jungles, and full of vitality.
Lin Mu flew around the island and found no trace of human habitation. He was delighted.
He quickly landed and wanted to survey the terrain.
Landing on the soft land, Lin Mu could easily feel that the spiritual energy in this island was definitely the most concentrated place here.
The ground was covered with dense vines and weeds more than one person tall, making it impossible to pass.
Lin Mu's mind moved, and he sacrificed the Five Elements Ring. With the spiritual power, the Five Elements Ring immediately grew several times larger and flew forward with a whistling sound.
The weeds and vines on the ground were cut off from the roots by the Five Elements Ring, and fell down in pieces, and a path more than one foot wide was opened up.
Lin Mu stepped on the weeds and vines and slowly walked in.
The deeper he went, the thicker the smile on Lin Mu's face became. This place is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also extremely fertile. You can see it by looking at the growth of vines and weeds. If you cultivate it carefully, it is absolutely no problem to make dozens of acres of spiritual fields.
The fallen leaves on the ground are more than one foot deep. It is obvious that no one has been here for a long time. If you live and practice here in seclusion, you don't have to worry about others coming to disturb you.
Lin Mu was about to move his parents and Shitou out of the Xuanyue space, but suddenly his heart trembled and he noticed something unusual.
Quiet, quiet and a little weird!
Since Lin Mu stepped onto the island, he has not found an animal, and he has not even heard a bird singing.
This is obviously not in line with common sense!
Lin Mu suddenly remembered that since this is a third-grade cave paradise, why is it so desolate and no one comes to live here?
There must be something strange about this!
Before he could think about it, a burst of air-breaking sound came.
The sharp whistle seemed to penetrate Lin Mu's eardrums, and Lin Mu looked up hurriedly.
Lin Mu almost fell to the ground when he saw it.
The water arrows in front of him were densely attacking, and the water arrows passed through the bushes, and the rustling sound produced by the friction with the leaves made Lin Mu feel palpitations.
The water arrows were as dense as raindrops, overwhelming and attacking, and the number was no less than a thousand!
Someone attacked!
No, this is not a sneak attack.
Such a large-scale attack is definitely not done by one person.
What is this? Is there anyone living here? Why didn't I find it?
A series of questions flashed through Lin Mu's mind. It all happened too fast, and he was a little caught off guard.
Before Lin Mu could think about anything, thousands of water arrows with a murderous aura were about to hit him.
Although these water arrows were only low-level water magic, they were huge in number. Without knowing why, Lin Mu didn't dare to take them head-on.
He couldn't guess what would happen next.
Everything happened too suddenly!
From beginning to end, Lin Mu didn't even know who the enemy was, how many there were, where they launched the attack, and he knew nothing about it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Water arrows shot madly towards where Lin Mu was standing. Lin Mu's figure flashed and immediately disappeared from the spot.
