Chapter 246 Red Flame Furnace (1/2)

Tenth level of Qi Refining!

Fifty disciples, all at the tenth level of Qi Refining!

One year!

Lin Mu did something incredible in just one year.

Fifty disciples at the tenth level of Qi Refining were all overjoyed and couldn't help themselves.

Everyone looked at Lin Mu with smiles on their faces.

Many disciples had admiration, surprise, and confusion in their eyes.

Although everything happened to them now, everyone still felt that everything was like a dream.

Before coming to the Lake Heart Island, who would have thought that they could all be promoted to the tenth level of Qi Refining in just one year?

It's incredible!

Such a speed of advancement is simply shocking and unbelievable!

Lin Mu looked at the disciples with a warm smile on his face: "Now you are all at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and I am also extremely happy in my heart. The ten-year agreement has just begun. In the next nine years, I will help you to break through the foundation."

Upon hearing this, the disciples smiled brighter and brighter, and bowed to thank him.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Master, you are so kind!"

"Master, you are so awesome!"

"You have a bright future!"

...

Lin Mu looked at the fifty disciples who were so excited that they forgot everything. His face became calm and he poured a basin of cold water on them.

"But don't be complacent. Everything won't go so smoothly." Lin Mu looked at the disciples and changed the subject: "Although I promised you that I would guarantee your foundation building, I also said that nothing is absolute. If someone is lazy, idle, and unmotivated, I will not give him the foundation building pill. Because such a person has no ambition, even if he takes the foundation building pill, he does not have the courage and perseverance to break through the bottlenecks and advance to the foundation building stage. You have to work harder in the future. As long as you perform well and your cultivation is deep enough, I will naturally let you build your foundation in advance. As for the early or late foundation building, it all depends on you."

The disciples suddenly stopped smiling and pondered together, and began to recall what Lin Mu said.

Lin Mu paused for a moment, and then said: "Some people may be able to build a foundation tomorrow, while others may need nine years to build a foundation. The earlier the foundation is built, the greater the hope of impacting the spiritual silence. There is no need for me to elaborate on the benefits. I hope you will not slack off and practice hard with peace of mind."

Fifty Qi Refining disciples nodded in unison, and their previous excitement had slowly subsided.

There is still a long way to go. If you are complacent after just achieving this achievement, how can you make progress in the future?

Lin Mu looked at the disciples and said earnestly: "Practice is not a one-day or one-night job. If you just covet enjoyment and are lazy and cunning, even if you are lucky enough to build a foundation here, it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future. If your cultivation is not as good as others, you will still have to act according to others' moods and cannot help yourself. If you want to live freely, you must become strong, extremely strong, and knock down all those who stand in your way!"

The disciples seemed to have realized something, and they were inexplicably excited. They all shouted that they must practice hard.

Lin Mu smiled and was quite satisfied with the disciples' reactions.

He had high expectations for these disciples. If he only wanted to train them to the foundation-building stage, he would have an easier way. He didn't need to persuade them so earnestly as he did now, as if practicing hard was a heinous crime.

Lin Mu gave his disciples some instructions and sent them back to practice hard.

The fifty people bowed and said goodbye one by one, and went back to their rooms.

Gu Chen stood there, motionless.

Lin Mu looked surprised and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Gu Chen smiled: "Five thousand catties of spiritual grains, not a single grain is left!"

The spiritual grains are finished!

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "It's okay. Don't worry, I'll buy more."

While saying this, Lin Mu smiled bitterly in his heart.

Five thousand catties of spiritual grains are worth fifty thousand spiritual stones, but fifty disciples ate them all in just one year.

Lin Mu was secretly shocked by such a cost.

He doesn't have enough spirit stones now, and he still owes a lot of debts. He spends 50,000 low-grade spirit stones a year, which means 500,000 in ten years!

If this is true, how many people can afford it?

Lin Mu now realizes that taking in disciples is not an easy job.

He has to do almost everything himself and ask questions again and again.

He has to work hard to earn the spirit stones.

No wonder the Qianyu Sword Sect almost ignored the outer disciples. That's why.

If everyone is treated like this, Shi Weihan will be exhausted to vomit blood and still be unable to meet the needs of the disciples.

Training disciples is really not a simple matter.

This is just the most basic need for food. If they want to strengthen their strength in the future, they must buy magic weapons such as flying swords. Fortunately, the sect gave him many jade slips such as sword tactics and mental skills, which saved him a lot of spirit stones.

As Lin Mu thought about this, he suddenly remembered that now all his disciples have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, and their food needs have also been greatly reduced compared to before. It is normal and common to eat one meal every seven or eight days.

In this way, he can save a lot of spirit stones in the future, at least half!

The annual expenses have been reduced a lot, and Lin Mu's burden can be relieved a little.

Gu Chen watched Lin Mu's expression change, worry, and then calm down.

He knew that Lin Mu must be worried about the spirit stones, and his heart was warmed.

Lin Mu had no relatives or friends with these disciples, but he tried his best and spared no effort. He paid too much.

Although he and Lin Mu were master and apprentice, there was no restraint, and they were both teachers and friends.

Now that Lin Mu was in trouble, he naturally couldn't stand idly by.

Gu Chen looked at Lin Mu, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The cost of 50,000 yuan a year is too high. Now that you are my master, I can't sit idly by. I have been busy in the Baiwu Pavilion for these years and earned some spirit stones. Now I have no worries about food and clothing here, and I don't need spirit stones, so I will give them all to you."

After speaking, he took out a storage bag and handed it to Lin Mu.

Now that Lin Mu was in trouble, he also wanted to help.

Lin Mu felt warm in his heart and refused with a smile: "How can I ask you for spiritual stones? Don't worry, I still have enough spiritual stones, which is more than enough to buy spiritual grains. You can take these spiritual stones back."

Gu Chen insisted on not giving in and insisted on Lin Mu's men.

Lin Mu was also stubborn, he didn't want to easily owe others favors.

Even friends were no exception.

The two of them went back and forth, pushing and sending, and repeated this several times, and then both of them laughed.

Lin Mu smiled helplessly and said: "Now I really have enough spiritual stones. If I am short of money in the future, I will definitely borrow from you. These spiritual stones are accumulated by you for many years of hard work. I can't take them away for free, and I can't do it."

Gu Chen knew that Lin Mu had made up his mind, so he didn't insist anymore, and smiled: "I will save these 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones for you. If you need them, come and take them at any time."

200,000 low-grade spiritual stones?

Lin Mu was shocked and stared at Gu Chen blankly.

This is too rich!

It is really unexpected that a Qi Refining disciple has such a rich fortune.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator has 70,000 to 80,000 Spirit Stones, which is considered a good fortune.

A Spiritual Silence cultivator has accumulated for many years, and his fortune is generally only about 100,000 Spirit Stones.

Lin Mu looked at Gu Chen in surprise and said with a smile: "You have made a lot of money in the sect over the years, and your wealth makes me jealous."

Gu Chen laughed and said: "Only you know that I have such a fortune. If others knew, I would have been killed countless times in the sect, how could I live until now."

Lin Mu's face froze, but he nodded.

What Gu Chen said was the truth.

He had long understood the principle of not showing off wealth, and Gu Chen was no exception.

However, now that Gu Chen revealed such news to him, it means that he trusts him.

Lin Mu's heart was also warm. Among these fifty disciples, there are really not many people who are really worthy of his friendship and cultivation.

Gu Chen is one of them.

Thinking about Gu Chen's amazing ability to make money, Lin Mu's mind became active.

He still owed Gu Yun 600,000 spirit stones, and it would be difficult to pay it back in a short time.

However, if Gu Chen helped, Lin Mu felt that if he opened a shop in Linwufang, he could also earn a lot of spirit stones.

But now Gu Chen has not yet established his foundation, so everything can only be discussed later.

Lin Mu did not say what he thought. He chatted with Gu Chen for a while, and Gu Chen left with a smile.

Lin Mu looked at Gu Chen's back and nodded secretly.

Although Gu Chen loves money, at such a moment, there is such a touching scene.

With his financial resources, he can buy enough spirit gathering pills, and there is also a great hope for him to be promoted to the foundation-building stage in the sect, and the speed may not be slower than here. Now he has given up the business of Baiwu Pavilion and concentrated on practicing here. It seems that he really has a deep desire to establish his foundation.

Lin Mu smiled, put away his thoughts, turned around and walked towards his parents' room.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Lin Mu knocked on the door gently. After three knocks, Lin's father pushed the door open and walked out.

Seeing that it was Lin Mu, Lin's father smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Lin Mu smiled and said, "The five thousand kilograms of spiritual grains have been eaten by the disciples. I need to go to Linwufang to buy another batch."

Lin's father nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I will take care of this place."

Lin's mother opened the door and let Lin Mu sit down in the house, and reminded him, "Be careful on the road and don't cause trouble."

Lin Mu smiled and nodded, then took out the remaining third-grade elixir and handed it to his father, smiling, "The third-grade elixir has a great effect, and cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort. These three thousand nine hundred bottles of third-grade elixir, Dad and Mom will take them, don't be stingy. If the effect is good, we may be able to condense the golden elixir within thirty years."

Lin's mother looked at it and Without even looking at the pills, she hurriedly declined, saying, "There aren't many pills this time. If you give them all to the two of us, how can you and Shitou practice?" Before Lin Mu could reply, Lin's mother continued to nag, "Although Yunmeng has excellent aptitude, you can't ignore her and not give her a single pill. I've seen her not leave the house for more than half a year and she's been in seclusion. I don't know if she's angry."

Lin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on? He could only smile and say, "Junior Sister Yunmeng is reasonable and won't be angry. I've also planted 60 acres of spiritual medicine for her in the Xuanyue Space to refine the Shuiyun Pill. In more than a year, the spiritual medicine will be mature, and then I'll refine the Shuiyun Pill for her. With her aptitude, her cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

"As for me and Shitou." Lin Mu smiled and said, "We are not too old, and we still have a long time to go. We don't need to care about these few short years. Besides, Shitou is now practicing in the Xuanyue Space. The spiritual energy in the Xuanyue Space is rich, comparable to the fifth-grade cave paradise. Shitou's aptitude is not bad either. The time in the Xuanyue Space is twice as fast as outside. With these advantages, the speed of his cultivation progress is not much slower than yours. Now you don't need to think too much, just concentrate on hard work. After 30 years, our cultivation will almost reach the peak of the foundation-building period, and then we will condense the golden elixir together."

Lin Mu said so, and Lin's father and mother could no longer refute anything, so they had to accept 3,900 bottles of third-grade elixirs.

The two also wanted to improve their cultivation quickly to avoid dragging Lin Mu down.

Lin Mu said goodbye to his parents, walked out of the house, and turned to leave.

When he left, Lin Mu unconsciously turned his head to look at the Yunmeng wooden house.

He saw that the door of the house was closed, and the faint forbidden light was flickering slightly.

Lin Mu smiled faintly, then opened the "Golden Stone Formation", sacrificed the best cloud-stepping boots, and left quickly.

Although Linwufang and the Mist Lake are thousands of miles apart, Lin Mu flew at full speed and arrived in about two hours.

Landing in front of Linwufang, Lin Mu followed the passing crowd and walked into it.

There were shops lined up on the street, and the signs in front of each shop were shining and dazzling.

The passing cultivators stopped and went forward to choose what they needed.

Lin Mu had no intention of playing around, and went straight to Baiguwei.

Before he entered the store, the shop owner came out with a smile, "Sir, are you here to buy spiritual grains again?"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded, "Yes."

The shop owner was immediately delighted. He had always thought of Lin Mu. If Lin Mu had not bought 5,000 kilograms of spiritual grains again a year ago, which made him a lot of money and had spiritual stones to turn over, his shop would have closed down by now.

The shop owner was secretly grateful in his heart and asked with a smile, "How much are you buying this time?"

Lin Mu smiled and said, "If you still only have 5,000 kilograms, then I can only buy 5,000 kilograms."

The shop owner felt warm in his heart and smiled, "Not this time. The shop has also developed to a certain extent in the past year. Now there are 10,000 kilograms of first-grade spiritual grains in the store at any time. Do you want to buy 10,000 kilograms?" The shop owner asked tentatively.

Lin Mu said with a hearty smile: "Why not! Then give me 10,000 kilograms!"

The shop owner's face suddenly blossomed with a smile, brighter than a flower: "Sir, you are really straightforward. I won't waste words with you. Last time, the business of our shop was quiet and we almost closed. It was your big purchase that made our shop come back to life. You are my benefactor. This time I won't make any spirit stones from you, so I will give you a 10% discount. Each kilogram of spirit grain only needs nine low-grade spirit stones. How about it?"

Lin Mu smiled. Such a good thing, he naturally would not refuse: "That's great, thank you very much."

Shop The owner said hurriedly, "No way. Come often in the future, and I'll give you a 10% discount!"

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Of course, I'll come often in the future."

After the owner walked into the store, he probably came to get the spiritual grains. After a while, he walked out from the back of the store with a smile, holding a storage bag in his hand, handed it to Lin Mu, and said with a smile, "All 10,000 catties of spiritual grains are in it, no more, no less."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "Since you said so, I naturally believe you."

Although Lin Mu said so, for the sake of safety, he secretly checked it with his spiritual sense. After confirming that there was no doubt, he smiled and put away the storage bag.

One catty of spiritual grain is nine low-grade spiritual stones, and ten thousand catties is ninety thousand!

With a smile on his face, Lin Mu took out nine hundred medium-grade spiritual stones from the storage bag and handed them to the owner.

The owner did not refuse, and hurriedly took it with a smile. A 10% discount is his maximum limit. If it is cheaper, it will be a loss.

Now he bought another 10,000 jin of spiritual grains. Lin Mu estimated that with the current needs of his disciples, they could eat for about two to three years. If someone succeeded in building a foundation, it would take even longer.

He planned to help his disciples build their foundations in the future and achieve his wish as soon as possible.

After chatting with the owner for a while, Lin Mu smiled and said goodbye.

After eating the hundred grains, Lin Mu was about to leave and return to the island in the middle of the lake.

But he thought of something and turned to Qianbao Pavilion.

Qianbao Pavilion was full of cultivators, and business was extremely hot.

Various magic tools in the store were shining, and there were all kinds of rare materials, talismans, mental methods, and sword techniques.

Lin Mu walked into the pavilion, and a waiter came up to him with a smile: "Sir, what do you need?"

Lin Mu smiled faintly: "I want to buy a refining furnace, do you have it in your store?"

The waiter smiled: "Yes! What grade of refining furnace do you need?"

Lin Mu smiled slightly: "Please bring me the best ones."

The waiter looked up at Lin Mu and saw that Lin Mu was just a foundation-building cultivator, but he did not look down on him. He looked normal and smiled and turned around to take the refining furnace. Lin Mu stood in front of the counter and waited quietly.

Before leaving, Elder Luo Yan gave Lin Mu a lot of refining materials and asked Lin Mu to take time to learn refining. Although Lin Mu agreed before, he was not sure if he had any free time to refine. But now he has no elixir on hand, and the spiritual grass in the spiritual field is not mature, so he is completely free.

He decided to take advantage of this gap to learn how to refine instruments and not let Elder Luo Yan down.

Although he might not be able to reach the level of refining top-grade instruments, if he could learn how to refine mid-grade instruments, the fifty disciples he accepted would have a suitable instrument when they build their foundation in the future, so they would not have to fight against the enemy empty-handed.

After a while, the waiter came to Lin Mu with several glittering refining furnaces and placed them side by side on the counter for Lin Mu to choose from.

The three refining furnaces were all exquisite and small, with glittering lights, and they were not ordinary items at first glance.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "What are the grades and prices of these three refining furnaces?"

The waiter smiled and introduced them one by one: "This blue light furnace is of the top grade magic weapon level, with extraordinary quality. It can be used to refine top grade magic weapons. The price is 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. This Qinghua furnace is of the same quality as the blue light furnace, and is also a top grade magic weapon. The price is 18,000 low-grade spirit stones."

As the waiter spoke, he looked up at Lin Mu and saw that Lin Mu's face was calm and he didn't seem to be tempted. He couldn't help but think to himself, he is indeed a rich man, fortunately I have prepared it.

"As for the third one, it is extraordinary." The waiter pointed to the last scarlet furnace and smiled: "This red flame furnace is of the top grade magic weapon level. If the level is high enough, it can even be used to refine top grade magic weapons. Of course, the price is also a bit more expensive, requiring 100,000 low-grade spirit stones."

100,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Lin Mu looked at the bright red flame furnace tripod and said to the waiter with a smile: "I have shopped here many times. Can you give me a discount?"

The waiter smiled and said: "This price is already the best price. But since you asked, I will give you a 95% discount."

95% discount means 95,000 yuan!

A discount of 5,000 yuan!

Lin Mu nodded and smiled: "Okay. I want this red flame furnace tripod!"

Immediately took out 950 medium-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and paid them to the waiter.

Then he said goodbye to the waiter and walked out of Qianbao Pavilion in the waiter's happy eyes.
