Chapter 255: Qi Chong
Compared with sword cultivators, magic cultivators are not inferior.
Lin Mu has a personal experience of this.
With his current magic level, if he uses the eighth level of "Red Fire Art" and releases a four-leaf fire lotus, he can burn everything in front of him.
Not to mention ordinary spiritual solitude cultivators, even the true disciples in the sect can hardly resist it.
"Genjin Art" is even more sharp. If Lin Mu can practice it to the seventh level, the attack power is enough to rival the top-grade flying sword!
If he practices it to the ninth level, it is not much different from the top-grade flying sword.
But if you want to reach this level, you need a lot of time to practice.
Magic practice is extremely boring, and it needs to be repeated over and over again, and it is possible to break through after repeating it thousands of times.
In comparison, sword cultivators are easier to master quickly.
As long as you can successfully sacrifice a high-quality flying sword, your strength will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will be extremely easy to fight against the opposite level!
This is also the reason why sword cultivators are so popular.
He worked hard to cultivate magic, but his progress was extremely slow. His strength was not much better than that of sword cultivators, and he was even much inferior. Over time, magic became obsolete and almost no one cared about it. Only Qi Refining cultivators and low-level casual cultivators, who were poor and could not afford to buy flying swords, would learn magic.
Although Lin Mu practiced magic, he was not at the same level as these casual cultivators.
He had five elements of spiritual roots. Although he practiced slowly, he had all five elements. Learning magic was more comprehensive and more suitable.
In addition, the five elements ring also greatly increased the power of calligraphy, and it was extremely advantageous to perform magic.
The five elements ring itself was a top-notch magic weapon with unpredictable power.
Such advantages distinguished him from ordinary magic cultivators.
This was not the case with sword cultivators.
Although sword cultivators were strong, they were trapped by flying swords.
Usually, the strength of sword cultivators was closely related to flying swords.
If the flying sword was of good quality, the sword cultivators would become stronger; if the flying sword was too inferior, the sword cultivators would become weaker.
Cultivating the sword means that the attack power is mainly based on the flying sword, and there is very little room for improvement, unless the flying sword is replaced.
It is common for sword cultivators to have the same strength for many years without any improvement.
Many sword cultivators desperately hunt monsters and earn spirit stones, just to buy a better quality flying sword and enhance their strength.
But there is no such good thing in the world, which can be achieved quickly and has a good flying sword, so everyone goes to cultivate the sword.
Too many sword cultivators died in the misty forest because of hunting monsters, and their years of hard work were destroyed in an instant, and there is no way to recover.
There are also people who want to kill people and steal treasures, and seize other people's flying swords, but there are often few successes and many failures.
Once you fail, you will die!
In comparison, magic cultivators are much gentler and more comfortable.
Unlike sword cultivators who fight and kill, magic cultivators do not rely on flying swords for strength, but rely on their own hard work, without too many external things.
The room for improvement for magic cultivators is also huge, far better than sword cultivators.
As long as you practice slowly, the level of magic can always improve.
When practiced to a high level, the strength is not inferior to that of sword cultivators.
Lin Mu has always been obsessed with magic, but he does not have much free time to practice magic now.
Working hard to improve his cultivation is the most important thing for him now.
Compared with condensing the golden elixir, no matter what kind of magic cultivator or sword cultivator, it is not worth mentioning.
No matter how powerful the magic is, no matter how good the flying sword is, it is insignificant under the huge gap in cultivation.
Even if a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence Stage has a top-grade flying sword, he is not a match for a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage.
The gap in cultivation is the root of everything.
Lin Mu naturally understands this truth, so he has never spent too much time on magic.
On the one hand, he wants to condense the golden elixir as soon as possible, and on the other hand, there are very few cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage who can pose a threat to him.
If he is safe, there is no need to waste time.
Only those who have no hope of advancing to the Golden Core will try every means to improve their attack power in order to hunt monsters or kill people for treasures.
Lin Mu's goal is the Golden Core, so there is no need to do this.
Everything he does now is to prepare for the impact of the Golden Core.
But if there is a chance, Lin Mu does not mind upgrading these five magics to the high-level magic level.
Now, he just wants to practice hard.
This time, 23 disciples built their foundations, 6 failed, and the 17 who succeeded are all practicing hard to stabilize their realm.
The rest of the people who have not built their foundations have all returned to the house to practice hard to increase their confidence in building their foundations.
Three months later, everything will be clear!
Lin Mu's face was indifferent and he flew back to the wooden house.
Entering the house, Lin Mu set up layers of restrictions and flashed into the Xuanyue space.
As soon as he entered the Xuanyue space, Lin Mu was surrounded by rich spiritual energy and felt extremely comfortable.
The Xuanyue space is now comparable to the fifth-grade cave heaven blessed land, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich.
Looking at the entire Tianxiao world, there are only a few masters and elders of major sects who can practice in such a blessed land.
Unless necessary, Lin Mu usually practices outside, letting the Moon-Rolling Pendant absorb the essence of the moon.
Lin Mu has always been worried that the spiritual energy in the Moon-Rolling Space will continue to decrease as he and the stone practice and absorb it.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Since the stone entered the Xuanyue Space for cultivation, the increase in spiritual energy in the Xuanyue Space has slowed down a lot compared to the past, but it is still increasing slowly. The speed at which the Xuanyue Space absorbs spiritual energy is still faster than the stone consumes it.
Now that Lin Mu has also entered it for cultivation, the Xuanyue Pendant can no longer absorb moonlight, and the spiritual energy in the Xuanyue Space will only decrease, not increase.
Lin Mu knew this, but he could do nothing about it.
He didn't know why the Xuanyue Pendant was like this, and it would always be hung around his neck.
Even when he appeared in the Xuanyue Space, it was no exception.
Until now, he didn't know whether the Xuanyue Pendant was a magic weapon or a magic treasure, or something else.
There are too many mysteries about the Xuanyue Pendant.
Lin Mu simply didn't think about it. If he had the chance in the future, he would naturally know.
As long as the Xuanyue Pendant is useful to him now, it's fine.
It took decades for Xuanyue Pei to advance from the fourth grade to the fifth grade. If it wants to advance again now, it will probably take even longer. Maybe Lin Mu has already successfully condensed the golden elixir, and Xuanyue Pei cannot advance.
Lin Mu thought so. Instead of letting Xuanyue Pei absorb moonlight and advance slowly, it is better for him to practice hard now and form the golden elixir as soon as possible. After the golden elixir is successfully condensed, his life span will be greatly increased, and there will be more time for Xuanyue Pei to absorb moonlight. It will not be too late to cultivate Xuanyue Pei to advance at that time.
Lin Mu walked into the hut lightly, took out the cushion and sat down.
Shitou has been immersed in cultivation for a long time and cannot extricate himself.
Lin Mu used the "Heavenly Eye Technique" to carefully check Shitou's cultivation. He was surprised to find that the spiritual power in Shitou's body was like a river, rushing in the meridians, running smoothly and freely, and his cultivation was much better than his.
Compared with Lin Mu, Shitou has only practiced here for one or two more years, but there is such a significant difference in cultivation.
The effect of the fifth-grade cave paradise is indeed extraordinary.
Lin Mu was full of hope and had a faint smile on his face. He sat down on the futon and began to practice the "Five Elements Heart Method" and quickly entered into a state of meditation.
The spiritual power slowly circulated in his body, week after week...
In a blink of an eye, a year passed.
On this day, Lin Mu opened his eyes and woke up slowly from his meditation.
The light in his eyes became more restrained and calm as water.
Compared with before, his cultivation has improved a lot.
Now the spiritual power in his body is no longer a slow stream, but a gentle stream.
After a year of hard work, Lin Mu is one step closer to the golden elixir.
Lin Mu glanced at Shitou and saw that Shitou was still practicing with his eyes closed, and a smile appeared on his face.
Shitou has not taken any elixir now, but his cultivation is advancing at a fast speed.
If the next batch of third-grade spiritual medicine matures and there are enough elixirs, I don’t know how fast his cultivation will progress.
Lin Mu smiled, got up gently and walked out of the hut.
After a year of hard training in the Xuanyue Space, the twenty acres of Seven Star Grass in the Xuanyue Space are about to mature.
With a faint smile on his face, Lin Mu cast the "Green Water Art" and cast the rain again.
With his current level of magic, he can already release and collect.
The seventh level of the "Green Water Art" can be used, which can be like a thousand-foot waterfall, crashing down, and like a drizzle, dripping down, moistening things silently. His magic now has reached another level.
After the rain was finished, Lin Mu looked at the green spiritual field with satisfaction and nodded with a smile.
The fifth-grade spiritual field planted the third-grade spiritual medicine. The spiritual medicine grew very well, and a good harvest was just around the corner.
With a smile on his face, Lin Mu thought about it and flashed out of the Xuanyue Space.
After a year of hard training in the Xuanyue Space, half a year had passed outside.
Lin Mu had asked the disciples to practice hard for three months before helping them build their foundation.
Who would have thought that a year would pass after he entered into meditation?
But it was good that way. The disciples would practice for three more months, and their spiritual power would certainly become more solid, and the hope of successfully building the foundation would also increase a lot.
Everything in the wooden house was the same as before, without any changes, and the restrictions were intact. Obviously, no one had entered.
Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face, and he casually cast a few spells, and the restrictions suddenly opened.
After walking out of the wooden house, Lin Mu began to summon disciples.
Fifty disciples came quickly after hearing Lin Mu's call.
Everyone came to Lin Mu with smiles on their faces.
During Lin Mu's retreat this time, the thirty-three disciples who had not yet built the foundation were also practicing hard every day, and their cultivation was greatly improved.
The seventeen disciples who had successfully built the foundation before had already stabilized their realms, and they all had happy expressions on their faces.
Lin Mu looked at the 17 foundation-building disciples and said with a smile: "You have succeeded in building your foundation in three years since you came to the lake island. It's really good. The promise I made before has been fulfilled in you. Don't be arrogant in the future. You still need to continue to work hard and strive to reach the spiritual silence stage as soon as possible."
The 17 foundation-building disciples nodded and bowed to thank them.
"It's all thanks to Master's cultivation!" Gu Chen said with a smile.
"Master, I will never forget your kindness!" Lu Yuan also felt emotional.
Shi Jian's resolute face also became much softer, and he bowed deeply and said: "Thank you, Master!"
Lin Mu smiled and helped the disciples up one by one, encouraging them. Both the master and the disciples were delighted.
After the greetings, Lin Mu turned to the 33 disciples who had not yet established their foundation and said, "You have been practicing hard for half a year. The spiritual power in your body has been extremely condensed, and your hope of establishing your foundation has also greatly increased. I will not say anything more. I will distribute the foundation-building pills to you today. I hope you will make every effort to strive for a successful foundation-building in one go."
The 33 disciples bowed and thanked him in unison, with smiles on their faces.
Lin Mu smiled, helped the disciples up, and then began to distribute foundation-building pills.
Each of the 33 disciples received a foundation-building pill and a bottle of hundred-year-old spiritual milk.
The hundred-year-old spiritual milk is extremely rare, and Qianyu Sword Sect will not give such a treasure to disciples when they are building their foundation.
With this spiritual milk, the chance of successfully building a foundation has increased a few points.
The disciples were extremely happy, put away the foundation-building pills and hundred-year-old spiritual milk, and bowed again in unison.
Then, under Lin Mu's smiling eyes, the disciples returned to the house to strive for the foundation-building period.
