Chapter 186 Breakthrough Together

Lin Mu couldn't hide his joy in his eyes, and he was inexplicably happy.

After a year of seclusion, he finally broke through again!

The spiritual power in his body was flowing like a river, running endlessly.

The five colors of spiritual power, gold, green, blue, red and gray, were clearly separated. Although they were running together, they were unrelated.

The five elements were separated!

Lin Mu clearly felt that the spiritual power in his body became more pure.

The five elements of spiritual power, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, flowed together in the meridians.

The late stage of foundation building!

A faint smile appeared on Lin Mu's face, and he stood up and walked out of the house.

As soon as he came out of the house, Lin Mu smelled a refreshing fragrance, and the aroma of medicine was everywhere.

On the island in the middle of the lake, the forty-three acres of spiritual fields were all ripe!

In the spiritual fields, two figures were working with their heads down, busy collecting spiritual herbs.

It was his parents!

Lin Mu was happy and could tell the cultivation level of the two at a glance.

The two had been in seclusion longer than Lin Mu, almost for two years.

Now he came out of retreat earlier than Lin Mu, but his cultivation level is the same as Lin Mu, and he has reached the late stage of foundation building!

Late stage of foundation building!

The three of them broke through at the same time!

Lin Mu was delighted and walked forward.

When Lin's father and mother saw Lin Mu coming out of retreat, they stopped what they were doing and smiled.

Both of them saw that Lin Mu, like them, had reached the late stage of foundation building!

Father Lin was delighted: "Just now your mother and I were talking about how these 43 acres of spiritual herbs have been mature for several months, and you should have come out of retreat. But your mother said, 'How can it be so fast!' Unexpectedly, I hit the nail on the head. As soon as I finished speaking, you came forward."

Mother Lin was also smiling: "Your father and I retreated for two years before we reached the late stage of foundation building. We thought you would need a long time to come out of retreat. Now you have come out early, which is a blessing."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "I also practiced hard for a year and took 2,700 bottles of Guiling Pills before I broke through."

Father Lin smiled and said, "That's much better than your mother and I. We practiced hard for nearly two years and used up all 3,400 bottles of Guiling Pills before we broke through to the late stage of foundation building."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "If the Guiling Pill is gone, we can refine it again, as long as we can break through. Now we are both in the late stage of foundation building, and we can focus on the golden pill in the future."

Father Lin and Mother Lin both smiled and nodded, with a look of joy on their faces.

Now, three of the five have come out of retreat.

Yunmeng and Shitou are still in retreat and have not come out yet.

Yunmeng's aptitude is the highest among the five. It is unknown what realm he can reach after this hard practice.

Shitou's aptitude is almost the same as Lin Mu's. Lin Mu has already made a breakthrough, so he must be close to coming out of retreat.

Lin Mu then went with his parents to collect all the 43 acres of spiritual herbs.

This time, the spiritual herbs grew for a long time and the harvest was quite rich. A total of 9,800 materials were prepared from the 43 acres of spiritual fields.

As for the 43 acres of spiritual fields, Lin Mu did not immediately reclaim and plant them.

He had his own plans.

He had 9,500 materials left before, and now he has harvested another 9,800, a total of 19,300.

19,300!

These materials are enough for Lin Mu and Shitou to refine for a year!

Or even longer!

Lin Mu decided not to continue planting the second-grade spiritual herbs for refining Guiling Dan for the time being.

He had another concern.

The "Five Elements Heart Method" he practiced was different from other heart methods.

It was by no means an easy task to directly impact the Golden Dan from the late stage of foundation building.

Generally, if a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence stage wants to impact the Golden Dan, he needs to work hard to accumulate spiritual power.

The spiritual power in the body of a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence stage is already pure and single-line spiritual power, but there are very few who can successfully impact the Golden Dan.

The spiritual power in the body of a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence stage is already as rich as liquid. As long as the spiritual power accumulates to a certain level, it can condense the liquid into a solid and form a Golden Dan.

But this process is by no means easy.

For spiritual power to turn from liquid to solid, it only requires quantitative change, and qualitative change!

The process of accumulating spiritual power alone is extremely long.

Many cultivators in the Spiritual Silence stage have accumulated spiritual power from the early stage of Spiritual Silence until their lifespan is exhausted, but they may not be able to cultivate to the late stage of Spiritual Silence.

Too much spiritual power is required, and the cultivators make little progress. Their spiritual power is as deep as the abyss, and they cannot reach the late stage of spiritual silence.

This is also the origin of the spiritual silence period.

This is just the accumulation of spiritual power, which is a quantitative change.

Some people with high talent can finally reach the late stage of spiritual silence and complete the accumulation of spiritual power after a lifetime.

However, most of the late stage of spiritual silence cultivators who strive for the golden elixir end in failure.

There are few successful ones. Often, among hundreds of late stage of spiritual silence cultivators, only three or five can form a golden elixir.

The rest of the people are all full of resentment and are lost in the boundlessness of time.

Most of them fail at the stage of qualitative change.

Although the spiritual power in the body of the same late stage of spiritual silence cultivators is a single pure spiritual power, the purity of the spiritual power in the body of different cultivators is different.

The higher the talent, the purer the spiritual power in the body, the greater the possibility of successful qualitative change, and the more hope there is to form a golden elixir.

Mental method is also a major factor. The higher the grade of mental method, the faster the cultivation speed and the purer the spiritual power.

Some people only cultivate the third-grade mental method and have average qualifications. It is too difficult to form a golden elixir.

In addition, the perseverance of the cultivator is also very important.

These are all mentioned briefly in the "Five Elements Mental Method".

Lin Mu will naturally take these into consideration and strive to do his best in everything.

The "Five Elements Mental Method" is as high as the fifth grade. In terms of mental method, he is not worse than others.

If it comes to perseverance, he will not lag behind others.

The only thing that concerns him is that he is slightly lacking in the purity of spiritual power.

After all, his qualifications are not as good as those with high talents. He mainly relies on taking pills to increase his spiritual power.

Pills!

This is the problem!

The higher the grade of the pill, the purer the spiritual power it contains.

Guiling Pill is only a second-grade pill. If you want to rely on this kind of pill to impact the golden pill, it is nothing but a foolish dream.

Lin Mu plans to buy a higher-grade pill recipe. Guiling Pill can no longer meet his needs.

Lin Mu plans not to plant these spiritual fields now, and wait until he buys the spiritual grass seeds.

As soon as the three of them finished preparing the spiritual herbs, Yunmeng walked out of the house.

Lin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yunmeng had been in seclusion for a long time, and as soon as she came out, Lin Mu saw the difference.

Spiritual Silence Stage!

Lin Mu's face was filled with joy.

Although this was expected, Lin Mu couldn't help but marvel at the thought that Yunmeng had cultivated from the early stage of foundation building to the spiritual silence stage in just a few years.

It is not easy for a cultivator to cultivate from foundation building to spiritual silence.

Zhang Ruoxu has been building the foundation for many years. The last time Lin Mu met him, he found that he was only in the middle stage of foundation building.

Wei Sheng was very talented. He was only at the peak of the late stage of foundation building at that time. Now it is unknown whether he has reached the spiritual silence stage.

Yun Meng leaped from foundation building to spiritual silence in a few years on the lake island. If people knew about it, I wonder how much amazement and envy would be aroused.

Now Yun Meng has also come out of retreat, and the four are waiting for Shitou.

Shitou and Lin Mu were in retreat at the same time. They also have four spiritual roots, so it is time for them to come out of retreat.

The four chatted and laughed about family matters, and a few days passed in a hurry.

On this day, the wooden door of Shitou's hut slowly opened after being closed for a year.

Shitou walked out of the house with a bright smile on his face.

Lin Mu, his parents, and Yun Meng looked at Shitou, and their eyes were full of joy.

Late stage of foundation building!

Shitou, like Lin Mu, also reached the late stage of foundation building.

Four people in the late stage of foundation building!

Including Yun Meng, all five people have finished their retreat this time.

Breakthrough together!

Although Shitou is now in the late stage of foundation building, his spiritual power is better than that of a cultivator in the early stage of spiritual silence under the integration of the five elements.

He also has a high-grade magic weapon, so he has a great chance of winning against ordinary cultivators in the spiritual silence period.

The same is true for Lin's father and mother. Although their attack power is not as good as Shitou's Jinwu Sword, they are much better than Shitou in defense.

The Zhentian Umbrella and the Green Copper Bell are both top-grade defensive magic weapons with amazing defensive power.

Especially the Green Copper Bell, which is worth 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones and is one of the treasures of Qianbao Pavilion. Its defense is extraordinary and ordinary cultivators in the spiritual silence period cannot break through its defense.

If they fight with others, although Lin's father and mother cannot say that they will win for sure, they are enough to protect themselves and can be invincible.

Lin Mu's strength is much better than the three of them. Now he can also fight against a cultivator in the late stage of spiritual silence. This is just pure strength. If he uses talismans, ordinary cultivators in the late stage of spiritual silence are no match at all.

However, the talisman is not easy to make, and it is a disposable consumable. Lin Mu will not use it indiscriminately unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now that all five of them have come out of retreat, Lin Mu told them his thoughts: "Now that all five of us have broken through, Guiling Pill is no longer suitable for cultivation. We need higher-grade pills. I plan to go to Linwufang again to buy some useful pill recipes."

The four of them naturally had no doubts about this. Shitou reached out and took out 500 bottles of Guiling Pill from the storage bag, and said with a smile: "These Guiling Pills are the only ones left from this retreat. If I go to buy pill recipes, these Guiling Pills may also be able to sell some spiritual stones."

Lin Mu reached out to take the Guiling Pill and put it into the storage bag, smiling: "I also have 1,000 bottles of Guiling Pill left, but 1,500 bottles of Guiling Pill are far from enough to buy high-level pill recipes and high-level spiritual grass seeds."

Shitou finally broke through and was one step closer to the Golden Pill. He was full of pride: "What are you afraid of? If it's not enough, we can refine it again."

Lin Mu nodded and smiled: "That's what I meant."

The two decided to refine the pill again.

Lin's father, mother and Yunmeng were unable to help, so the three of them practiced sword techniques on their own, and Lin's father worked hard to practice the "Green Water Technique".

This time there were a total of 19,300 materials, Lin Mu gave 7,300 to Shitou and kept 12,000 for himself.

Lin Mu took out the purple incense burner, threw a material into it, and performed the "Red Fire Technique", and a three-leaf fire lotus emerged from the bottom of the furnace.

After the cultivation level was advanced, the three-leaf fire lotus became more pure and exquisite, and the pure white lotus petals were no different from the real thing.

Shitou's Zhongsun Fire was also much more condensed than before.

The two were shocked at the same time after refining just one furnace.

Shitou refined a furnace of Guiling Pill in just one hour.

Lin Mu's fire control skills reached the level of three-leaf fire lotus, and his speed was even faster!

He only needed three quarters of an hour to refine a furnace.

Both of them increased their speed greatly!

In one day, Shitou refined 20 bottles of Guiling Pill!

If he continued at this speed, he could refine 600 bottles in a month, which was enough to match Lin Mu's previous performance.

Lin Mu's speed was naturally faster than before. He refined 28 bottles a day!

In this way, he could refine at least 840 bottles a month!

The two of them combined, it was close to 1,500 bottles!

Refining 1,500 bottles in a month, what a terrifying speed!

Lin Mu and Shitou looked at each other, both of them were happy.
