Chapter 164: Mid-Stage Foundation Building

Lin Mu walked out of the auction house and headed outside Linwufang.

The auction was held three months later.

During this period, Lin Mu did not plan to live in Linwufang permanently.

Zuixinju charges three hundred low-grade spirit stones per night, which is too expensive.

Even with his wealth, he could not stay there for long.

After turning a few streets, Lin Mu walked out of the market.

Looking around, there was the Misty Forest in front of him, and the rest of the direction was desolate and uninhabited.

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, took out his Cloud-Stepping Boots, input spiritual power into it, and flew into the Misty Forest.

The cultivators on the road were in a hurry, traveling back and forth between the Misty Forest and Linwufang.

Some people successfully hunted monsters, smiling, and returned with a full load.

Some people were injured by monsters, covered in blood, and in a miserable state.

Lin Mu did not care about these things, and quickly flew into the forest.

When he came to the edge of the Misty Forest, Lin Mu's figure did not stop, and he plunged into the fog.

The deeper he went, the thicker the fog became. It was a vast expanse of white, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

After flying five or six miles, Lin Mu stopped at a remote place.

Looking around, he saw no one. With a movement of his consciousness, his figure disappeared from the spot.

In the Xuanyue space, there were twelve acres of spiritual fields, and the spiritual grass was green.

The green ox stood in front of the house, motionless, and strands of spiritual energy flowed into its body from its mouth and nose.

The green ox was practicing!

Can oxen practice?

Lin Mu thought of the striped tiger in the Fire Dragon Valley, which seemed to practice.

The green ox was already a third-level demon beast, and its cultivation level was almost the same as that of the striped tiger. It was not surprising that it could practice.

When Lin Mu thought of this, he felt relieved.

The green ox was concentrating on practicing, and he didn't care about anything in the outside world. Even when Lin Mu suddenly appeared, it didn't notice it.

Lin Mu walked forward to check whether the green ox's injury had improved.

Before he got close, the blue bull suddenly woke up. Before he opened his eyes, a flash of light appeared on his body, and a blue shield suddenly appeared, protecting the blue bull.

Blue shield?

Lin Mu was stunned and stood there.

This was really beyond his expectation that a cow could use a defensive shield.

Too awesome!

This is really awesome!

This seems to be a water shield, full of blue light, and its power is extraordinary.

The blue bull opened his eyes, turned his head and saw that it was Lin Mu, and immediately relaxed.

The blue shield disappeared, and the bull swung its tail twice, saying hello to Lin Mu.

What a human-like cow!

Lin Mu smiled at the blue bull and went forward to check the blue bull's injuries.

After untying the cloth strip, Lin Mu's eyes were filled with joy.

The wound has healed and the injury has stabilized.

The spiritual energy in the Xuanyue space is abundant, and one day is equivalent to two days outside. The blue bull recovered very quickly.

It is estimated that it will be healed in a few days.

Monsters are different from cultivators, and their own recovery ability is very strong.

If a cultivator had such a serious injury, even with spiritual medicine, it would probably take more than half a month to heal.

Qingniu's wound has healed now, and it is not far from recovery.

Lin Mu plans to release Qingniu back to the Misty Forest after it recovers.

After changing the spiritual medicine for Qingniu again, Lin Mu said to Qingniu: "You can rest here and heal your wounds. I will let you go after you recover."

Qingniu seemed to understand what Lin Mu said and nodded slightly.

Lin Mu walked into the house with a smile on his face, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to practice.

In these three months, he plans to practice hard to see if he can reach the middle stage of foundation building.

Since the success of foundation building, he has not practiced well. He has been busy planting spiritual fields, refining pills, making talismans, and earning spiritual stones.

The most important practice was put aside by him.

He really didn't want to put the cart before the horse.

Now that he had this free time, how could he let it go?

Lin Mu's cultivation was not far from the middle stage of foundation building. When he first started to build his foundation, his cultivation was deeper than his parents and Shitou. After that, he was busy refining pills and making talismans, so he neglected to practice.

In fact, after building his foundation, his cultivation was also slowly increasing.

Whether it was refining pills or making talismans, a lot of spiritual power was consumed. The spiritual power was consumed and then recovered. In this way, the spiritual power could also slowly increase.

But this kind of growth naturally could not be compared with full-strength practice, let alone taking pills to practice.

Lin Mu got a lot of storage bags last time. After searching through them, he found a total of 600 bottles of Guiling Pills in 63 storage bags.

The entire Wuyou Sword Sect only had so many pills, which was not as good as the Guiling Pills made by planting a batch of spiritual herbs by himself.

But something is better than nothing. These pills are not too few for him alone.

Moreover, compared with his parents, he has spiritual roots and his qualifications are much higher.

These pills are enough for him to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building.

Lin Mu casually took out a bottle of Guiling Pill, took it, calmed down and concentrated his mind, and began to enter a state of meditation.

Silently practicing the "Five Elements Heart Sutra", the spiritual power in his body flowed slowly in the meridians like a stream.

With each cycle of circulation, the spiritual power increased by one point.

The medicinal power of Guiling Pill was dissolved in the body, and the spiritual energy was abundant in the body. Lin Mu hurriedly accelerated the speed of spiritual power circulation and worked hard to refine the spiritual energy.

…

Time passed quickly like water.

In a blink of an eye, three months passed.

Lin Mu practiced hard in Xuanyue Space for three months, which was equivalent to others practicing outside for half a year.

During these three months, Lin Mu was almost crazy.

He almost never stopped, and kept taking Guiling Pills to practice hard.

More than 600 bottles of Guiling Pills were all used up by him in three months.

He had to take at least six bottles of Guiling Pills every day, and his cultivation was also advancing by leaps and bounds.

Spiritual power was growing every day.

One day, Lin Mu suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation.

Lin Mu used the "Internal Vision Technique" to check his body, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The middle stage of foundation building!

After three months of hard practice, he finally advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.

The spiritual power in his body surged and kept flowing. Lin Mu realized that he was much stronger than before.

Lin Mu got up and went outside. Three months had passed and he was going to go back to participate in the auction.

Before that, there was still one thing to do.

Looking at Qing Niu who was quietly practicing outside the house, a trace of surprise flashed across Lin Mu's face.

Qing Niu, like Lin Mu, also practiced hard in the Xuanyue Space for three months.

Not only did its injuries heal, but its cultivation level also improved.

Lin Mu used the "Heavenly Eye Technique" to check and found that Qing Niu had actually advanced to a fourth-level monster beast.

Fourth-level monster beast!

The cultivation level of a fourth-level monster beast is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stage of spiritual silence.

Qing Niu was able to advance to a fourth-level monster beast in just three months.

This speed made Lin Mu feel ashamed.

Of course, this is also closely related to the abundant spiritual energy in the Xuanyue Space.

In the Xuanyue Space, the spiritual field has reached the fourth grade, and the richness of the spiritual energy is comparable to that of the fourth-grade cave heaven and blessed land.

Fourth-grade cave paradise!

It is also extremely rare in the Tianxiao Realm.

Of course, the Xuanyue Space is much smaller and slightly inferior to the real fourth-grade cave paradise.

Qingniu cultivated in the Xuanyue Space for three months and advanced to a fourth-grade monster.

Lin Mu was a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.

Now that Qingniu's injuries have healed, his cultivation has also increased a lot. In the misty forest, he has the ability to protect himself.

If he encounters the four late-stage foundation-building cultivators again, the target of the hunt may turn around.

Lin Mu stepped forward and stroked the soft hair on Qingniu's neck, and said with a smile: "During the past three months, you have practiced hard here, your cultivation has greatly improved, and your injuries have healed. Now I am leaving too, let's say goodbye."

Qingniu looked up at Lin Mu with gratitude in his eyes.

Lin Mu smiled, and his consciousness moved, and the man and the cow disappeared from the original place and appeared in the white mist.

Looking at the vast sea of ​​fog, Lin Mu smiled at Qingniu and said, "From now on, you, a cow, must be careful in this foggy forest. Don't step into the same predicament again. We met each other once, and it is a fate. Now that fate has ended, we must finally say goodbye."

Qingniu seemed to understand what Lin Mu said, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly!

There was a loud noise.

Boom!

Dust and smoke rose, and white fog rolled.

Qingniu bent its front legs and knelt on the ground.

Tears rolled down its eyes.

It cried!

Lin Mu was stunned in place, his eyes were wet.

This cow is no different from a human except that it can't speak.

Lin Mu hurriedly urged his spiritual power to lift Qingniu up.

"Let's say goodbye now." Lin Mu's eyes were slightly wet. After saying this, he sacrificed his cloud-stepping boots and flew out of the forest.

The green ox stood there, looking up at Lin Mu going away. The white fog was surging, and Lin Mu's figure soon disappeared.

Two lines of hot tears kept flowing down its cheeks, and it was in tears.

Then, it seemed to remember something, and a green light flashed on its body. With a swing of its four hooves, it chased in the direction of Lin Mu's departure like crazy.

The vast white fog changed rapidly, and the trees kept retreating backwards. It kept running forward.

But after running two miles, it still didn't catch up with Lin Mu.

It didn't retreat into the forest unwillingly until it ran to the edge of the white fog and saw many cultivators flying with swords.

The green ox took heavy steps and walked deep into the white fog.

After walking in the fog for a long time, it suddenly heard a shout of killing.

The sword light flashed, and the sword energy was crisscrossed.

From time to time, two screams of monsters were heard, and then it returned to calm.

The green ox looked at the sword light, and the sadness disappeared, and a light flashed in his eyes.

It seemed to have seen this sword light before.

It didn't bother to think too much and rushed to the place where the sword light was.

In the white fog, four foundation-building cultivators were manipulating flying swords to chase and kill a group of elks.

Elks were only level three monsters. Six or seven of the more than ten elks had died, and five or six were still struggling.

But the flying sword was too sharp, and the elks could not resist it at all.

Elks could only cause little damage to cultivators. Several elks surrounded one person and only destroyed that person's flying sword.

Qingniu looked at the four people in the field, and a gleam of hatred flashed in his eyes.

These four people were the same four people who had chased it.

"Haha, today's harvest is good. We will definitely make a lot of money from this herd of elks." A cultivator laughed while killing elks.

One person controlled the flying sword to cut off an elk, and said with great satisfaction: "It's really fucking satisfying!"

Another person laughed and said: "It took us three months to wait for this opportunity. This time we can't be like last time. We didn't kill all the cattle and a blue cow ran away."

The last person said: "After killing these elks, let's go back and rest for a while. The girl from Zuixinju is really missed..."

Before he finished speaking, a three-foot-long water sword suddenly attacked from behind and pierced through his heart.

Like him, the other three cultivators were also pierced through the heart by the water sword.

The four tried to look back.

Not far behind them, a blue cow stood quietly in place, looking at them coldly.

The four people's eyes blurred for a while, and they all fell from mid-air and fell to the ground dead.
