Chapter 288: Hasty Return
Do you want to participate?
Lin Mu looked calm, but his heart was surging, and he fell into deep thought.
Tianxiao Realm Competition!
The ten major sects worked together to cultivate, as long as you can be in the top three, with the massive supply of resources, there is a great hope for successfully condensing the golden elixir!
But why did such a good thing fall on me?
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, Lin Mu immediately thought of this.
This competition is full of masters, and all masters below the Golden Core stage in the entire Tianxiao Realm will participate. It is not easy to be in the top three. What is the purpose of Shi Weihan's move?
"I don't know what the rules of this competition are, and is there any danger?" Lin Mu thought hard for a while, but got nothing, so he asked Shi Weihan directly.
Shi Weihan looked calm: "Of course. This competition is a rare opportunity. Once you get the chance, the strength of your sect will increase! All sects attach great importance to it, and the disciples they send are the most powerful people in the sect, and they must win. Since it is a competition for the entire Tianxiao Realm, it is natural to select the strongest person. All the cultivators participating in the competition must go all out, so there are no rules. Once you go on stage, it will be a fierce duel, only the winner will be decided, regardless of life or death!"
No matter life or death!
Lin Mu's heart tightened when he heard this.
Such rules are extremely cruel.
Although his current strength is at the peak level of the Spiritual Silence Period, there are countless masters in the Tianxiao Realm, and powerful people are often hidden in unknown places. No one can guarantee that they will be able to survive until the end of the competition, or even become one of the top three!
Lin Mu is only 50% sure about this.
Lin Mu is not sure about competing with Gu Yun's strength now.
Gu Yun will definitely be one of the top three.
In this case, there are only two spots left.
To become one of the remaining two among all the masters in the Tianxiao Realm, the competition is so fierce that it is outrageous!
Among them, there is no guarantee that there will not be someone like Gu Yun, who not only has a top-grade flying sword, but also has a deep understanding of sword skills. In the competition, Lin Mu cannot easily use the Xuanyue Pei, so the degree of danger is also rising sharply!
It is also very likely that he will die!
Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a little scared, and cold sweat ran down his back.
He and Luo Yan are of the same mind, and Shi Weihan knows it very well. Is sending him to participate in the competition this time to take the opportunity to get rid of him?
Lin Mu's mind raced, is Shi Weihan ready to take action?
It is very likely!
Everyone knows that this competition is extremely important and extremely cruel.
The three true disciples, Leng Shan, Xu Hai, and Luo Chen's retreat is just an excuse.
If Shi Weihan had any hope for this place, he would definitely not send himself, or would not send himself alone.
Could it be that there was someone who was extremely strong in this competition?
So strong that even Shi Weihan gave up on his own initiative?
It's not impossible!
The more Lin Mu thought about it, the more he was afraid, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Shi Weihan remained calm and sat in his original place, waiting for Lin Mu's decision.
The rewards for this competition were so generous, he believed that Lin Mu would definitely not refuse.
Even though Lin Mu guessed the danger.
Becoming a golden elixir is the lifelong pursuit of every cultivator, and the desire is only strong. As a person who has experienced it, Shi Weihan has a deep understanding of it. At the beginning, in order to condense the golden elixir, he had gone all out and gone crazy!
He believed that Lin Mu would not miss this opportunity.
Even if Lin Mu did not go by accident, he was not worried.
No matter how Lin Mu decided, the initiative was in his hands.
The resources of Qianyu Sword Sect are in his hands. If Lin Mu wants to condense the golden elixir, there is no way he can get resources from him!
Either he will participate in the competition, or he will be mediocre for more than a hundred years, and his life span will be exhausted and turned into dust.
He had already seen that Lin Mu was practicing the "Five Elements Heart Method".
There are not many people who practice the "Five Elements Heart Method".
Because once you practice the "Five Elements Heart Method", if you can't form a golden elixir, your life span will only be the same as that of a foundation-building cultivator, which is only about two hundred years. It is extremely difficult to condense the golden elixir. If you don't have a special grasp, most people will not practice this method. At the beginning, Yinxin and Luo Yan had good qualifications, and they were taught by Tianzhu Zhenren himself. They didn't dare to practice the quick-acting heart method of "Five Elements Heart Method", but practiced step by step, advancing from the Lingji period to the Golden Elixir period.
Lin Mu's move undoubtedly pushed himself to a dead end.
He only needed to use a little trick in it, and Lin Mu would not be able to condense the golden elixir successfully.
Such people are really not worth worrying about.
He couldn't even figure out why Yin Xin and Luo Yan, who are the disciples of Qianyu Sword Sect, chose Lin Mu. Could it be that people with the five elements of spiritual roots can really condense the golden elixir successfully? It's really a fantasy!
"In my opinion, I hope you can participate." Shi Weihan saw that Lin Mu was unable to make a decision, and said quietly: "You also know that the four people in the sect, Luo Tong, Leng Shan, Xu Hai, and Luo Chen, are all striving for the golden elixir. The resources consumed are incalculable! In this competition, the sect has taken out a huge amount of resources. The sect no longer has any resources to train other disciples."
Shi Weihan glanced at Lin Mu and said, "If you want to condense the golden elixir, you can only participate in the competition and become the top three! Of course, if you don't want to become a golden elixir, I won't force you. Everything is up to you!"
This sentence seems to be extremely generous, but it forces Lin Mu into a desperate situation, with no way to retreat!
The sect has no hope anymore, Lin Mu said without any hesitation, "Disciple is willing to go."
Although his heart was cold, he had a faint smile on his face.
Shi Weihan smiled and said, "This is the best. With your strength, if nothing unexpected happens, it is also very likely that you will become the top three! If you condense the golden elixir, the strength of the sect can also advance by leaps and bounds and improve! Once the sect is strong, it can also obtain more resources. In the future, your parents and Shitou and others want to condense the golden elixir, and it is not completely hopeless."
This seems to be a comfort, but Lin Mu did not feel any joy.
Since he had decided to participate in the competition, Lin Mu stopped procrastinating and went straight to the point, asking: "When will the competition start? Where will it be held? During the competition, can all methods be used at will?"
He asked three questions in a row, all of which were extremely important.
"This competition is being prepared. I just told you in advance. As for when it will start, I don't know. It may take half a year, or one or two years." Shi Weihan said as a matter of course: "You also know that the resources required to condense the golden elixir are so large that not every sect can provide them. Even if the top ten sects train three golden elixir disciples, they will have to prepare for a period of time. Don't worry, once the competition starts, it will be known to the world, and cultivators will gather and make a sensation. You will naturally know. I will also send you a message and go with you."
"If there is no accident, the competition will definitely be held in Wushuang Jianmen." Shi Weihan glanced at Lin Mu: "The competition is to select the most powerful people in Tianxiao Realm. No matter whether they are magic cultivators, talisman cultivators, weapon cultivators, or sword cultivators, there are no restrictions. Strength is the most important! No matter what means you use, as long as you can be in the top three."
So that's it.
Lin Mu felt a little relieved when he heard this.
If so, his talismans will also be useful.
As long as he is willing to spend spirit stones to buy or make talismans himself, victory seems to be within his grasp.
After all, there are only a very small number of people who can resist hundreds or even thousands of "Explosive Flame Talismans" at the same time.
"In that case, I will go there as promised." Lin Mu stood up and bowed to Shi Weihan.
Shi Weihan sat in his seat, watched Lin Mu leave, smiled faintly, and then waved his hand, and the white mist in front of the cave closed again.
When Lin Mu returned to Lingxiao Peak, Shitou was waiting with 29 disciples and 100 Qi Refining disciples.
Lin Mu walked up and said to the 100 Qi Refining disciples: "From now on, you are my disciples of Lin Mu. I don't know whether you are here just to build your foundation or you really want to worship me as your master. No matter what, I will do my best to help you build your foundation!"
The 100 disciples reacted very quickly and knelt down to salute: "Meet the master."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded, waved his hand, and lifted everyone up.
Since experiencing the selection of Jing Qi's 20 disciples, Lin Mu's expectations for these 100 disciples are not as good as before.
No matter how hard he tried, Jing Qi still chose to stand with Shi Weihan.
It can be seen that without sufficient strength, relying only on sincerity, although it can move people, it cannot influence other people's decisions.
The twenty disciples who chose to stay in the sect also felt guilty, and looked at Lin Mu with fear in their eyes.
But so what.
The twenty disciples just said: You can move me, but you can't keep me.
Therefore, Lin Mu didn't have high expectations for this group of disciples.
But no matter what, he would train all these 100 people to the foundation-building stage.
He would not break the promise he made.
After all, there were still 30 disciples left out of the 50 disciples, which made him extremely relieved.
After Lin Mu gave his disciples some instructions, he went to Xifeng and brought Yunmeng back.
Yunmeng seemed to be worried, and she was silent all the time, unwilling to say a word.
Lin Mu asked several times, but she shook her head and refused to say anything.
Lin Mu shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.
The two returned to Lingxiao Peak, took all the disciples with them, and flew towards the mountain gate.
As soon as they arrived at the mountain gate, Lin Mu saw Shi Weihan from afar.
Lin Mu and his group stopped and saluted Shi Weihan.
Shi Weihan smiled and handed Lin Mu a storage bag: "This bag contains 125 foundation-building pills. You must use them properly. Foundation-building pills are not easy to obtain. These 125 are the last inventory of the sect. In the next ten years, the entire Qianyu Sword Sect will rely on you."
Shi Weihan looked at Lin Mu eagerly, as if it was a heavy trust.
125 foundation-building pills!
Lin Mu frowned slightly. If he wanted to make 100 people successfully build their foundation, it would take more time.
In this way, the time he could spend on cultivation would be increasingly insufficient, and his hope of winning the competition would be greatly reduced.
Lin Mu knew that it was useless to fight for it, so he simply took the storage bag and saluted to thank him.
Afterwards, he took out the Wind Boat and cast more than a dozen spells in succession.
The wind boat suddenly grew in size in the air and turned into a giant boat.
More than a hundred disciples boarded the wind boat.
Lin Mu and Shi Weihan bowed and said goodbye, and also flew on the giant boat.
Shi Weihan smiled and cast a spell, and the white mist surged and automatically flashed to both sides, and the mountain gate opened.
Lin Mu smiled and signaled to Shi Weihan, then suddenly urged the giant boat to fly out of the mountain gate.
The wind boat shone brightly and disappeared in the white mist in an instant.
After the wind boat left, the white mist closed up immediately.
Lin Mu urged the wind boat with all his strength and flew straight to the fog lake.
The wind boat flashed past and flew over the mountain gate.
At the foot of the mountain, another group of mortals knelt together, waiting bitterly.
At the mountain gate, a huge blood-colored handprint was extremely clear and shocking.
