Chapter 421: Striving for Excellence
With a smile on his face, Lin Mu made hand gestures and set up a restriction outside the cave.
With his current cultivation level, even Jindan-stage cultivators can break in at will. Lin Mu's original intention was not to defend against the enemy, but to warn!
If others want to enter the cave, they must break the restriction first. He is connected to the restriction and can sense it at the first time.
Only by aiming at the right target can you be sure of nothing.
Now that he has come to Qianfang Realm, Lin Mu has to be more cautious. Here, he can easily encounter Jindan-stage cultivators, Yuanying-stage cultivators, and occasionally meet masters of the Condensation Stage. In such a place where masters are everywhere, there are hidden dangers everywhere, and he really can't take it lightly.
Even if he lives in Huanling Peak now and has the protection of the Mansion Pavilion, if he accidentally reveals his trump card, it is hard to guarantee that other cultivators on Huanling Peak will not covet the treasures on him. How many people who can live in Huanling Peak will be foundation-building cultivators like him?
If those cultivators were to kill him regardless of everything, he would not have much confidence in escaping even if he had the Xuanyue Pendant.
He would die by then, and even if the Sales Mansion Pavilion would help him get justice, would it still matter to him?
Laying down restrictions outside was completely different. As long as someone broke in deliberately and forcibly, it must be with bad intentions. He would take his parents and Shitou to escape into the Xuanyue space in the shortest possible time, so that he would have a chance to escape.
After laying down several restrictions in a row, Lin Mufang turned around and discussed the future with his parents and Shitou.
He was greatly touched when he first came to Qianfang Realm. Although this place was prosperous, it was extremely difficult for him to survive now.
He made a great determination and spent most of his spirit stones to buy a sixth-grade cave, but he sadly found that he could not even open the protective formation laid in front of the cave.
In Tianxiao Realm, he could be considered a wealthy man, but here, he was extremely poor.
"This place is extremely prosperous, especially this sixth-grade cave, which is of great benefit to our practice!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "As long as nothing unexpected happens, we will soon be able to successfully condense the golden elixir!"
Lin's father and mother smiled and nodded repeatedly.
They have been working hard, but until now, their practice is still very dependent on Lin Mu, which will more or less affect Lin Mu's practice speed. Now that they have come to Qianfang Realm, as long as they can successfully condense the golden elixir as soon as possible, they can be considered to have good strength. In the future, they can rely on their own strength to make a living and don't have to drag Lin Mu down.
The two of them yearn for a comfortable and peaceful life, and now they are one step closer to their goal.
As for Lin Mu, they are not too worried, his future will be more and more brilliant!
They have always believed!
Shitou said with a smile: "As long as we succeed in condensing the golden elixir, we can go out to see a wider world, meet all kinds of people, buy all kinds of powerful exercises, and powerful magic weapons."
Shitou is full of hope for the future.
Lin Mu had to interrupt him: "But now all this is far away from us! Go out and see the world? Do you know how chaotic it is outside? Before calling you out of the Xuanyue Space, Daguai and I encountered a group of robbers. Fortunately, the robbers were only in the Lingji period, and I easily sent them away. But you have to understand this. In the more powerful Qianfang Realm, the Lingji period cultivators want to get rich overnight without any effort, and rob other cultivators. What about those powerful cultivators?"
Shi Tou's face changed.
Lin Mu continued: "If we encounter these powerful cultivators, even if I have the Xuanyue Pendant, I will easily die if I am caught off guard, and I will have no chance to escape into the Xuanyue Space!"
Shi Tou's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He was intoxicated by the prosperity of the Qianfang Realm, but ignored the layers of danger behind this prosperity.
"Everything is not so easy, especially here, it is even more difficult." Lin Mu smiled bitterly: "We have enough spiritual stones now, even opening the protective formation outside the cave is very difficult, not to mention buying those powerful skills and powerful magic weapons, which are too far away from us now."
Shitou's face was gloomy.
Lin Mu glanced at Shitou and smiled: "We need to work hard to condense the golden elixir now, this is the top priority. First, we must have the power to protect ourselves, and then we can walk around in the Qianfang Realm at will."
Shitou nodded solemnly, his face was extremely firm.
"Even if I am, I can't walk around outside casually." Lin Mu pondered: "Although we still have a lot of spiritual stones on us now, these spiritual stones cannot be used at will, and must be used to impact the golden elixir realm. Before we condense the golden elixir, unless it is necessary, we should not leave Huanling Peak for half a step!"
Shitou nodded deeply: "Until the golden elixir, we will never leave Huanling Peak!"
Lin Mu smiled. When he came to the Qianfang Realm, he was most worried about Shitou.
All along, Shitou rarely acted alone, and grew up slowly under his wings. Although there was no risk, it was like putting a shackle on Shitou, making him lose his freedom, but not only freedom!
Until now, Shitou can still maintain a relatively peaceful state of mind, which is not easy.
"We have many ways to make a living, whether it is alchemy, talisman making, or refining equipment, we have all dabbled in it." Lin Mu smiled and said, "As long as we want to earn spirit stones, we will definitely be able to do it in the future!"
Father Lin smiled and said, "That's right. Now it's most important to condense the golden elixir."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Condensing the golden elixir may have been unimaginable before, but now it is within reach."
Lin Mu patted his storage bag, took out nine green bottles, and said with a smile, "I asked Master Wushuang to help me refine nine elixir roots. Now you just need to take and refine these nine elixir roots, and you can become a body of five elements like me!"
Father Lin and Mother Lin were full of joy, and Shitou was also very excited.
According to the elixir roots required by each person, Lin Mu distributed nine elixir roots to the three people and said with a smile, "Becoming a body of five elements, we are practicing the Five Elements Mentality, the two complement each other, it's perfect! Condensing the golden elixir is not so far away."
The three people smiled, took their own elixir roots, and nodded in unison.
"After refining the elixir roots, we will start to condense the golden elixir." Father Lin said with a smile.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Condensing the golden elixir is the most important thing, but there is no need to be so anxious. I have heard Elder Luo Yan and Yin Xin warn that the strength of a Jindan cultivator is not necessarily stronger than that of a Lingji cultivator. It is nothing more than a lifespan of more than 200 years. What determines the strength of a Jindan cultivator is the depth of his foundation before condensing the golden elixir."
"In order not to be too weak in the future." Lin Mu looked at his parents and Shi Tou and smiled: "Before that, we must do our best to improve our foundation to the extreme. The higher the starting point now, the higher the results will be in the future!"
Lin Mu has always been the guide for the three people to practice. The three people all agreed with what Lin Mu said and nodded.
"Originally, before the Golden Core Stage, there are many kinds of preparations. I have started to put some into action and they have worked very well, but these may not necessarily apply to you." Lin Mu said: "Later, I will decide the direction of future efforts based on the actual situation, so that I can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Shi Tou immediately said: "I will make comprehensive preparations, no matter how harsh the conditions are, I will do it."
The firmness of his tone made Lin Mu look sideways.
Lin Mu smiled slightly: "Now you refine this Dan Linggen first. Some preparations are not as simple as you think. You may have hoped to succeed in condensing the Golden Core, but because of some preparations, you have been dragged down and retreated."
"Is there such a thing?" Shi Tou was puzzled.
Lin Mu nodded: "Of course. For example, in the "Sword Planting Technique", as long as you plant a top-grade flying sword in your body, after you successfully condense the golden elixir, this flying sword can be upgraded to your life magic weapon! This is certainly an excellent way, but if you do this, it will greatly increase the difficulty of your condensation of the golden elixir, and you may never be able to condense it successfully in the future!"
Shitou's face changed slightly, but he still said: "I'm willing to try."
Lin Mu smiled and said: "In comparison, I would rather spend spirit stones to help you buy a life magic weapon-level flying sword in the future. However, it is also very rare for you to have this confidence. I will let you work hard to improve in other aspects. These preparations that will hinder your breakthrough should not be made."
Shitou nodded solemnly.
Then, Lin's father, Lin's mother and Shitou each chose a quiet room and began to take the pill refining spirit root.
Lin Mu stood there and pondered for a moment, then entered the quiet room, took out the cushion and sat down.
Before condensing the golden elixir, he also had to lay a solid foundation. Now, he has not done his best.
In terms of physique, he has preliminarily completed his initial idea and has reached the second level of "Quenching Veins Art", the Quenching Veins Realm. Before condensing the golden elixir, he only needs to practice a little.
In terms of spiritual consciousness, Lin Mu has long reached the spiritual consciousness transformation realm, and can compete with the middle-stage golden elixir cultivators!
In terms of cultivation, he is now at the peak of the foundation-building stage and can start to impact the golden elixir at any time!
In terms of strength, in a head-on confrontation, he is not inferior to any middle-stage golden elixir cultivator, and can fight against ordinary late-stage golden elixir cultivators!
Now, as long as Lin Mu is willing, he can condense the golden elixir at any time, and he has more than 90% chance of success!
But considering the long term, he will not do this.
This is not his pursuit, his vision is far more than that.
If you want to do it, you must do it the best!
Striving for excellence means doing better than everyone else!
Perhaps, now in terms of resources, he still cannot compare with those top geniuses, but under the current conditions, he must do his best!
In terms of spiritual consciousness, he is still slowly increasing his spiritual consciousness after practicing the Star Spirit Refining Technique. This means that he still has room for improvement before he condenses the golden elixir!
The same is true for sword skills.
Lin Mu's current sword skills are only able to perform two consecutive sword skills, which is far beyond many sword cultivation geniuses, but as a natural five-element sword body, Lin Mu's goal is far more than that. What he wants is to be able to perform three consecutive sword skills!
Calming his mind and spirit, Lin Mu quickly entered into a state of concentration and began to evolve sword skills in his sea of consciousness!
