Chapter 353: No Distractions

Shi Qiang smiled and nodded, and then floated down.

Lin Mu suddenly realized, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he returned the courtesy.

Winning the game cleanly and neatly naturally saved him from a hard fight.

Shi Qiang was self-aware. He knew he was no match for his opponent, but he took the initiative to admit defeat, which saved himself and minimized the loss. Otherwise, Wu Ning would be a lesson for us!

Among the ten platforms, the No. 3 platform where Lin Mu was located was the first to decide the outcome. The other nine platforms were full of excitement and cheers from the onlookers.

"Lin Mu won another victory!"

"He was also the fastest to win!"

"Who could have expected that this would be the result!"

The audience was amazed, and the onlookers who had stood on one side with the Wanjian Sect and the Yuling Sect changed sides one after another.

"He is so powerful in the Qi Refining Stage. If he recovers his cultivation, who can match him?" said a late Lingji cultivator.

Another late-stage spiritual silence cultivator echoed, "I bet he can make it to the top four!"

A green-robed cultivator next to him glanced at him, pretending to be disdainful, and joked, "You lost the bet before. Now, you bet directly on Lin Mu to win. Whose spiritual stones do you want us to make money from?"

The late-stage spiritual silence cultivator blushed and said hurriedly, "Don't mention the past. I am blind, okay?"

The green-robed cultivator and several people around him laughed.

A white-robed cultivator suggested, "In fact, we can still bet now."

"How to bet?" The eyes of the late-stage spiritual silence cultivator before lit up and asked hurriedly. The others were also very interested and gathered around.

The white-clothed cultivator said with a smile, "It's easy. I'll be the banker, and you can all place bets. If Lin Mu wins first place, I'll return ten times the spiritual stones you betted before! If you bet ten, you'll get a hundred! If you bet a hundred, you'll get ten thousand! If Lin Mu doesn't win first place, the ten spiritual stones will belong to me. How about it?"

Someone immediately said, "We are not blind. Lin Mu is strong, but his sword skills are completely incomparable to forced sword skills. If he meets someone who has comprehended the real sword skills, he will be completely unable to resist. Even if he has a strong physique, how many games can he survive? The hope of winning first place is extremely slim! Betting on him to win first place is certainly expected to get a rich return, but losses are almost inevitable!"

Several people reacted immediately and said in unison, "Yes, we are not stupid, and this is not the way to cheat spiritual stones!"

The white-clothed cultivator smiled and said slowly, "Gambling naturally has rewards and losses. Who can be absolutely sure that Lin Mu will not win first place?"

A group of people shook their heads in unison, all of them were not sure

The green-robed cultivator said, "But you are too harsh. Everyone knows that Lin Mu has almost no hope of winning first place. Why don't we discuss and change the rules of the bet?"

Several people nodded in unison, and the white-robed cultivator also nodded with a smile. A group of people were discussing enthusiastically and were very excited.

In other places, cultivators were discussing and expressing their opinions from time to time.

"Lin Mu's victory came too easily!" Someone was dissatisfied.

"That's right, Shi Qiang seemed to be just here to deal with it, and didn't fight Lin Mu head-on!" said a cultivator in the middle stage of Lingji.

"There must be something fishy going on here!" A late-stage spiritual quiescence cultivator said categorically, "This Shi Qiang must have been bribed by Yin Xin and deliberately admitted defeat!"

"Impossible?" Someone half-truthfully said, "Is Yin Xin manipulating the competition in secret?"

"Everything is possible!" A late-stage spiritual quiescence cultivator said, "This Shi Qiang will definitely not be among the top three. If Yin Xin is willing to give him hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, he will definitely not fight for it and admit defeat obediently!"

The rest of the people nodded in agreement.

Such malicious speculations emerged one after another and reached Lin Mu's ears. Lin Mu did not comment, turned a deaf ear, and laughed it off.

At the same time, a flash of sword light appeared, and Ju Bin fell from the sky.

He casually handed the number three number plate to Lin Mu, and Ju Bin smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations on entering the top thirteen!"

Lin Mu took the number plate and smiled, "It's pure luck!"

Ju Bin smiled indifferently and floated off the stage.

Lin Mu put away his number plate, and with a flash of golden light, he flew to Yin Xin's location on his sword.

As soon as he landed, before he could talk to Luo Yan, he was surrounded by cultivators. The heads and elders of the major sects came up to congratulate him.

A group of Jindan cultivators congratulated Lin Mu and complimented Luo Yan and Yin Xin: "Your strength is far superior to others, and now you have a disciple like Lin Mu, the inheritance will continue!"

Surrounded by dozens of Jindan cultivators, Lin Mu was at a loss as to what to do, so he simply smiled and said nothing.

He was not used to this kind of scene.

Some top Lingji masters also came forward to congratulate him.

Talking to the Lingji cultivators, Lin Mu was relaxed and at ease.

He responded with a smile one by one, and in the crowd, he separated from Luo Yan and the others, and was surrounded by a group of Lingji cultivators.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Another victory!"

"Top four is expected!"

Congratulations came one after another, and Lin Mu smiled and returned the congratulations one by one.

At this time, the onlookers suddenly made a commotion and automatically made way for them.

A cultivator with a stern face walked slowly. When he came in front of Lin Mu, a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Mu looked at the person, his face was normal, and his smile became even stronger.

Xing Yun!

The cultivator who was extremely lucky and got the number thirteen!

"Congratulations, you also entered the top thirteen!" Xing Yun said with a dignified demeanor and a smile.

The noise around stopped, and all the onlookers were tactful and looked at Lin Mu and Xing Yun.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "It's just luck." Looking at Xing Yun, Lin Mu smiled and said, "But compared to you, my luck is still a small witch compared to a big witch. You actually advanced effortlessly. Waiting for the opportunity, there is a great chance of winning the next round!"

Xing Yun had a confident smile on his face, not polite, as if what Lin Mu said was the truth. Looking at Lin Mu, he smiled and said, "In fact, this is not luck. Number 13 was picked by me on purpose."

"You picked it on purpose?" Lin Mu's face suddenly showed a trace of doubt, and then a chill rose in his heart.

At the beginning, the rosewood box had been set up with a ban, and his consciousness could not enter it at all. This Xing Yun, how could he choose the number plate freely?

How did this Xing Yun know that Wushuang Zhenren would announce such a rule?

A series of doubts emerged in Lin Mu's mind, and he could not help but look at Xing Yun with expectation.

Xing Yun nodded: "I picked him on purpose." Then, he glanced at the crowd around him and said: "But I can't say anything about this. How about we go for a drink and I'll talk to you in detail?"

Lin Mu thought for a moment, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

At this time, several other cultivators next to him urged: "Go, go. This is a rare opportunity! We also want to know the reason."

"Really, just say no directly, and keep it a secret!" Someone began to complain.

Xing Yun's face was cold and he didn't respond.

Everyone changed their target, and several people took the lead and said: "Go. Although Brother Xing Yun is lucky, his strength is not inferior. He wants to make friends with you, so why don't you go?"

Everyone also echoed and persuaded Lin Mu.

Lin Mu looked at several extremely active cultivators, thinking, and then smiled at Xing Yun: "It's not that I don't want to make friends, but I have something else to do today. If there is a chance in the future, let's drink again, and I'll treat you then!"

His tone was firm and no one could question it.

A group of cultivators fell silent.

Xing Yun smiled calmly, saying, "It's okay. You can do your work."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lin Mu glanced at the silent crowd and was about to turn and leave.

At this time, a beautiful voice floated into Lin Mu's ears.

"Sir, wait a minute." The voice was soft, as if whispering in his ear, tempting his mind, and Lin Mu suddenly felt warm all over.

With a fragrant face, a graceful figure floated in front of Lin Mu.

The person's face was covered with a veil, and her face was looming under the purple veil. Everyone could see that this must be a peerless beauty. Lin Mu looked at this female cultivator with a temperament like orchid, and he was also amazed in his heart, but his face was still calm, and he said, "I wonder what the lady can do for you?"

The female cultivator smiled: "I am Lan Hui."

The charming smile, separated by the veil, became more charming, and the crowd of onlookers were obsessed.

Lin Mu's mind was also wavering, and he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"

Lan Hui smiled and said, "I am a disciple of Baihua Sect, and I am from the same sect as Junior Sister Yunmeng."

Lin Mu was stunned: "You and Junior Sister Yunmeng are from the same sect?"

Lan Hui nodded gently: "We have a very good relationship and can talk about almost anything."

Lin Mu hurriedly asked, "How is she now?"

Lan Hui glanced at Lin Mu, then at the crowd around him, and said in a voice transmission: "She is in a very bad condition now, and she is depressed all day long." Lan Hui glanced at the crowd again and said, "It is inconvenient to talk here. If you are willing, why don't you go to my cave to discuss in detail."

Lin Mu glanced at the crowd, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face again. He was about to nod and agree.

At this time, a voice suddenly came into his ears: "Don't agree. They all have ulterior motives, and want to distract you from other things and not take care of restoring your cultivation."

The voice was neither fast nor slow, and it was the voice of Yin Xin!

Lin Mu was shocked.

He had already seen the abnormality of this group of people, and their enthusiasm was a little too much.

So that's the purpose!

Thinking of Xing Yun's invitation before and Lan Hui's invitation now, as well as everyone's congratulations, Lin Mu felt a chill in his heart.

These people really have ulterior motives, and they keep coming up with them.

If he hadn't been alert, he would have fallen into their trap!

Yin Xin walked towards Lin Mu with a calm face, and said in a voice transmission: "Leave the affairs here to me. Just work hard to restore your cultivation, and don't worry about other things."

Lin Mu was about to say something, then swallowed all the words and nodded solemnly.

Now, the most important thing for him is to restore his cultivation!

Luo Yan also left the crowd, came to Lin Mu, and said: "Let's go."

Lin Mu nodded, and the two immediately flew back to Piaoyun Peak.

As soon as he returned to Piaoyun Peak, Lin Mu went straight to the quiet room and began to practice.

Luo Yan was extremely serious and laid three layers of restrictions in front of Lin Mu's cave.

He also felt an invisible pressure, a storm was coming!

Lin Mu will be the center of this storm!

He did not dare to take it lightly, and did not return to the cave. He sat cross-legged in front of Lin Mu's cave, waiting quietly.

After closing the stone door and entering the quiet room, Lin Mu flashed into the Xuanyue space.

After entering the hut and sitting on the futon, Lin Mu took out a bottle of thousand-year-old spiritual milk and drank it with his head tilted back.

Putting aside all distractions, Lin Mu practiced the "Five Elements Heart Method" and began to practice.

He had no distractions and soon immersed himself in it!
