Chapter 285 Undercurrent

The place was quiet.

Lin Mu looked at the twenty disciples standing in front of him quietly, with a calm expression and a smile.

All twenty people lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Lin Mu.

Shitou stood aside, already furious, but at Lin Mu's signal, he could not vent his anger.

Yunmeng stood silently behind Lin Mu, as quiet as a virgin, with a veil covering her face, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry.

At this time, a hearty laugh floated across the square.

Shi Weihan looked at the twenty disciples and said with a heroic smile: "From now on, I will make an exception and accept you as my true disciples. From now on, you will practice in Yunhai Peak, a fourth-grade cave paradise. The sect will distribute sufficient resources every year to help you break through the spiritual silence as soon as possible."

The twenty disciples smiled immediately and knelt down to salute.

Shi Weihan smiled, waved his hand, and helped the twenty disciples up.

Shitou and the thirty foundation-building disciples behind him all bowed their heads in silence, without saying a word.

Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face, watching everything quietly.

The four elders looked indifferent, as if they didn't care about anything and were indifferent.

Shi Weihan looked at the tens of thousands of disciples below and said with a smile: "I won't say much. Now, the competition will begin!"

Qifeng didn't need Shi Weihan's reminder, and immediately took a group of disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall to arrange the competition.

Shi Weihan turned to Lin Mu and said with a smile: "When you have nothing to do, you can come to my Yunxia Peak cave to sit for a while."

Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Disciple will definitely go."

Shi Weihan smiled and nodded, then stood up and left.

Elder Liang Zheng and Elder Huiwen also stood up, smiled at Lin Mu, and said goodbye.

Lin Mu hurriedly followed and saluted, watching the two leave.

Fairy Han Bing's face was as cold as ice. She glanced at Lin Mu and Yun Meng indifferently, said nothing, and left leisurely.

Lin Mu looked at Fairy Han Bing's back as he left, thinking.

At this time, Elder Luo Yan stood up and said with a smile: "The competition will take at least half a month. During this time, why don't you stay in my cave for a while. I see that many of your disciples have already used top-grade magic weapons. I wonder if you made them yourself. I will take this opportunity to test your weapon-making skills."

Lin Mu would not refuse and nodded with a smile.

Qi Feng walked up with a smile on his face. He was already talking and laughing with Shitou, and they were having a good chat.

Lin Mu and Qi Feng smiled and nodded. Qi Feng took Shitou and 29 foundation-building disciples away and headed for Lingxiao Peak.

In front of the hall, only Lin Mu, Yunmeng and Elder Luo Yan were left.

"I wonder where Junior Sister Yunmeng lives?" Lin Mu couldn't help asking Elder Luo Yan when he left.

When Shi Weihan left, he only arranged accommodation for the 20 disciples. As for Lin Mu and the disciples, he didn't arrange anything, so he left them aside and left on his own.

Elder Luo Yan glanced at Yun Meng, pondered for a moment, and smiled, "That's easy. No one moved her courtyard in Dongfeng, and now she will only stay in the sect for more than ten days, so she will be wronged for the time being."

"What do you think, junior sister?" Lin Mu turned and smiled at Yun Meng.

Yun Meng nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Luo Yan said to Yun Meng, "You have been away from the sect for many years, and many people in the sect miss you very much. You should go and visit them. Cultivators are ups and downs in the world, and you may die unexpectedly one day, so don't leave any regrets."

Elder Luo Yan's words were meaningful, and Lin Mu was a little puzzled.

Yun Meng was shocked, then nodded gently, said goodbye to Lin Mu and Luo Yan, and flew to Dongfeng by herself.

Lin Mu looked at Yun Meng's figure and couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

What Luo Yan and Yun Meng said seemed to be referring to something, but he couldn't guess what it was.

Could it be Mu Qing?

In the entire Qianyu Sword Sect, the only person who has a close relationship with Yunmeng is Mu Qing.

How is Mu Qing now?

At the beginning, Mu Qing and Zhang Ruoxu teamed up to plot to assassinate him, but fortunately he saw through it and saved his life by relying on the Xuanyue Pei. Although his cultivation level soared rapidly and far exceeded Zhang Ruoxu and Mu Qing, he did not kill them.

On the one hand, Zhang Ruoxu was shrewd and cunning, so Lin Mu never had a chance; on the other hand, Lin Mu was not very determined to kill Mu Qing. Mu Qing has a close relationship with Yunmeng, and Lin Mu also has concerns.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruoxu and Mu Qing saw through the fire and did not overestimate their own abilities and force trouble, otherwise, they would not have lived safely until now.

Is what Elder Luo Yan said now related to Mu Qing?

Thinking of the deep scheming of Zhang Ruoxu and Mu Qing, Lin Mu was also worried that the two would use Yunmeng to threaten him.

He was startled, and quickly took out his top-grade Cloud-Stepping Boots, said hello to Luo Yan, and chased Yunmeng.

With a flash of light, Lin Mu had caught up with Yunmeng in an instant.

Yunmeng was worried and her speed was very slow, as if she was thinking about something.

Lin Mu flew in front of Yunmeng and said in a voice transmission: "Junior sister, be careful and don't trust others easily. Especially Mu Qing, she wanted to kill me at the beginning, I am worried that she will harm you, you have to be careful."

Yunmeng's body was shocked, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She couldn't believe it, but she didn't say much and nodded gently.

Lin Mu took out a few "Notes of Transmission" and handed them to Yunmeng: "If there is something to call me, I will appear immediately."

Yun Meng took the "Note Transmission" and left, a little absent-minded.

Lin Mu was stunned in the place, and after a moment, he shook his head and flew back to the front of the hall.

Luo Yan had been waiting for a long time, and the two immediately left the square and went to Ziyan Peak.

Arriving at Luo Yan's cave, Luo Yan opened the restriction casually and took Lin Mu straight to the weapon refining room.

Lin Mu's current weapon refining level has reached the level of being able to refine top-grade magic tools. In the entire Tianxiao world, such a level of weapon refining is ranked among the best, of course, except for Jindan stage cultivators.

Luo Yan's weapon refining level has reached the point where he can refine magic weapons, and it is more than enough for him to instruct Lin Mu.

Moreover, what the two learned came from the "General Principles of Weapon Refining", and they were from the same lineage. What Luo Yan taught was just suitable for Lin Mu.

"The most important thing in refining is not the materials, the formation, or the tempering, but the formation!" As soon as Luo Yan entered the quiet room, he said straight to the point: "If you want to improve the level of refining, the first thing is to improve the formation."

Lin Mu calmed down, put aside many distracting thoughts, and began to listen quietly.

The art of refining is profound and extremely important.

Magical instruments are the top priority for cultivators, especially for sword cultivators, flying swords are absolutely indispensable.

If there are enough spirit stones, low-level magic instruments can naturally be purchased with spirit stones.

But when the cultivation is advanced, the magic instruments used are also of high grade. Any top-grade magic instrument or magic treasure will cost hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, or even millions of low-grade spirit stones. Even if you are wealthy, you can't afford such a toss.

Moreover, earning spirit stones is not as easy as imagined.

In the early stage, earning spirit stones is fast, but when your wealth accumulates to a certain level, it is difficult to make progress.

There are only so many in the Tianxiao Realm, and no matter how it develops, the spiritual stones earned will only exceed a limit.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Wushuang Sword Sect, it would have monopolized everything long ago.

But the fact is that some major sects now dare to assassinate Gu Yun recklessly, and more than once!

Therefore, in the long run, learning to refine instruments is extremely useful.

In particular, Lin Mu will need more instruments to train disciples in the future. If he does not learn to refine instruments, relying on the Baibao Pavilion will not be able to meet the needs, let alone accumulate resources and impact the golden elixir.

"Formation is the core of refining instruments!" Luo Yan said seriously: "In the next period of time, I will explain the formation in detail to you. I will explain some third-grade formations and fourth-grade formations. How much you can understand depends on your understanding."

Lin Mu smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Fourth-grade formation!

You should know that the general top-grade instruments only use third-grade formations, and some ordinary magic weapons only use fourth-grade formations. Lin Mu can only carve out a third-grade formation now, which is his limit. He has also studied the fourth-grade formation, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't get a glimpse of the way and has no idea where to start.

Lin Mu will naturally not miss such a good opportunity now, and he can't help but concentrate more on the class.

"The formation is vast and complex, ever-changing, and deduction is extremely important..."

For the next period of time, Lin Mu will be in Ziyan Peak, learning to refine weapons with Elder Luo Yan.

Unlike the quiet and peaceful Ziyan Peak, a few miles away, Wangyun Peak is a miserable scene.

Wangyun Peak, in a small cave.

On an old bed, there lies a haggard old man.

The old man is as thin as a stick, with deep eye sockets and dim light in his eyes. He is dying and is already dying.

This person is Yin Xin.

Next to the bed, there lies a young woman, who looks like a fairy and is extremely beautiful.

At this moment, the woman was in tears, crying heartbreakingly.

If Lin Mu was here, he would be shocked.

This person was none other than Yun Meng!

"Don't cry." Yin Xin advised in a hoarse voice. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Yun Meng's hair, but his hand fell down when it was halfway raised. He was now exhausted and barely breathing.

Yun Meng cried more and more sadly, and threw herself beside Yin Xin, unable to control herself, and said with tears in her eyes: "Dad!"

Yin Xin's calm face froze, his body shook, and then his wrinkles stretched out, his smile bloomed, and he cried with joy, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down his dull face.

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

...

Zi Yan Peak, Luo Yan's cave.

"That's all I can teach you." Luo Yan smiled and said, "In the future, follow this method and you can slowly deduce and learn other fourth-grade formations. Although the formation is complicated, it is not difficult to master it as long as you are willing to spend time. The difficult part is that few people can endure the loneliness and boredom in the deduction. This should not be a problem for you. With your qualifications, it is appropriate to learn to refine weapons. As long as you can successfully condense the golden elixir, it is not impossible to refine magic weapons."

Lin Mu bowed deeply and thanked him: "Thank you for your full cultivation, I will never forget it."

Luo Yan helped Lin Mu up: "Don't be so polite between you and me. Now in this Qianyu Sword Sect, there are very few people I can trust. If you do this, you will be alienated from me."

Lin Mu smiled and stood up quickly.

"What is the current situation in the sect?" Lin Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"It's not optimistic." Luo Yan's face flashed with sadness, and he shook his head slowly and said, "Shi Weihan has already started to prepare in secret, and he might attack me one day. Several of his true disciples, Luo Tong, Leng Shan, Luo Chen, and Xu Hai, have closed their minds and are trying their best to attack the golden elixir. If all four of them succeed in condensing the golden elixir, Qianyu Sword Sect will not need me, and then it will be a time of great disaster for you and me."

Luo Yan paused slightly, and his voice became deeper: "Yinxin's illness is already incurable, and he is about to die. If he dies, you and I will have no chance to compete with Shi Weihan. He has been in charge of the sect for hundreds of years, and now his strength is unfathomable. I am not his opponent."

"Is there no room for maneuver?" Lin Mu also felt a lot of pressure, as if there was a mountain in his heart.

"Yes!" Luo Yan said decisively: "As long as Yinxin can recover!"
