Chapter 578: Tempering the Sword Through Battle
After discussing with Renault, Lin Mu quietly left Qianfang City with Qingniu and Renault the next morning.
Lin Mu put Qingniu and Renault into the Xuanyue space. He and Renault changed their appearances and followed a pioneering team from the Sales Mansion Pavilion out of the city. After leaving Qianfang City, the two left the team, changed direction, and headed for the Desolate Ridge.
"I heard from my grandfather that it would be very dangerous to go to the Desolate Ridge this time." Renault said while flying at high speed.
"We have to kill a group of Nascent Soul cultivators and several Condensation cultivators. The task is extremely difficult and very dangerous." Lin Mu smiled truthfully, "But don't worry, you only need to be responsible for killing some Nascent Soul cultivators who ran away this time, and leave the rest to me. Refining the Nascent Souls of these Condensation cultivators will all depend on you."
Renault nodded happily: "No problem, leave all of this to me."
"How strong are you now?" Lin Mu asked with a smile. He wanted to have a bottom line in his mind so that he could plan in advance.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Unless you have to, he doesn't want to fight an unprepared battle.
"I have been practicing hard in seclusion, and I have made great progress." Renault smiled, "My cultivation and physique are now at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and my physique and consciousness show signs of advancing to the Concentration Stage. The bottleneck in front of me has already shown signs of loosening."
"You have already comprehended the sword intent before, what level of sword attainment have you reached now?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
He and Renault have low cultivation, and the most powerful advantage is that they comprehended the sword intent earlier than others, especially him, who was born with the Five Elements Sword Body, plus the foundation is unimaginably deep, and few people can compare with him in the talent of sword cultivation.
Now, fighting against the level is a common thing for him, and he can do it easily.
"I have already mastered the initial glimpse of sword intent." Renault said happily: "Some practitioners in the Concentration Stage can only comprehend the initial glimpse of sword intent. Now when I meet a practitioner in the Concentration Stage, I am not afraid and have the strength to fight."
Lin Mu smiled: "That's natural. A practitioner in the Concentration Stage can only comprehend the initial glimpse of sword intent. Even a strong man like Ning Mansion Master can only comprehend the sword intent in the late Concentration Stage. The most powerful leaders of several major forces can only comprehend the sword intent."
"With your current attainments in swordsmanship, , you have a huge advantage in the early stage. When you pass the great tribulation of the Condensation Stage cultivator, you can also suddenly comprehend the world, and your comprehension is still more than that of ordinary cultivators. It is very likely that your sword attainments will advance to the realm of sword intent. "Lin Mu smiled and said: "If you concentrate on comprehension in the future, you will definitely reach the same realm as Ling Xiao Zhenren."
Renault smiled and said: "In this case, I am not inferior to my grandfather."
In Qianfang Realm, Lei Ming is the first person, but he is only a great success in sword intent. Let's see if he can touch the realm of sword intent.
"You are so young, and you have unlimited potential." Lin Mu said with a smile: "For cultivators, opportunities are important. With your current achievements, there will naturally be many opportunities in the future. As long as you can seize them and practice with peace of mind, you will definitely be better than your predecessors in the future, and your achievements will be even higher than those of the Grand Mansion Master. In the future, the Sales Mansion Pavilion will surely flourish in your hands!"
Reno shook his head and smiled: "My grandfather has already said that if you hadn't appeared, he might have considered letting me take charge of the Sales Mansion Pavilion, but you came. He said that you are a rare genius. If you become the Mansion Master of the Sales Mansion Pavilion, the future of the Sales Mansion Pavilion will really be limitless."
Lin Mu smiled and shook his head: "The Sales Mansion Pavilion has done me a favor. You are the grandson of the Grand Mansion Master. How can I take away your position as Mansion Master? Besides, I have no intention of these empty names. As long as I am still here, the Sales Mansion Pavilion needs me. Just say it, and I will come back immediately."
"You want to leave?" Reno was suddenly stunned.
"Sooner or later, I will leave Qianfang Realm." Lin Mu simply told Reno the truth.
"Why are you leaving?" Renault asked anxiously, "Are you unhappy staying in the Sales Mansion?"
"This should be the happiest time of my life. I am unrestrained and free. The Su Mansion Master, the Ning Mansion Master, and you and the Great Mansion Master all treat me very well." Lin Mu said, "But I have more important things to do. Although the Thousand Square Realm is vast and magnificent, it is still too small for me. One day, I will leave."
Renault felt melancholy and was about to speak, but Lin Mu said again, "So the Sales Mansion will still be yours in the future. From now on, you must get rid of all dependence and strengthen yourself."
Renault nodded solemnly.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Lin Mu then smiled, "Our top priority is to get rid of the three major forces. Once we can do so, the Sales Mansion Pavilion will become the overlord of Qianfang Realm, and no one will be able to shake its position in Qianfang Realm in the future, so everything will be smooth sailing in the future."
Reno's face returned to a smile: "We killed these few Condensation Stage cultivators, which weakened the strength of the three major forces. It will be much easier to eliminate the three major forces in the future."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "So this time, we must be well prepared to ensure that there is no room for error."
"Although the two of us, plus Qingniu, are strong, it is still very inappropriate to fight head-on." Renault said: "We can fight around and slowly eat away at them. We are few in number and can come and go very freely. Even if we are unfortunately besieged by them, we can easily escape."
"Just do as you say." Lin Mu smiled.
The two discussed the details, then sped up and rushed to the Silent Ridge.
Following the map, in less than half a month, the two saw a quiet and desolate mountain range in front of them.
"This is the Silent Ridge." Renault said with a smile.
"Let's take a rest and go deeper to find the Wanbao Sect cultivators." Lin Mu suggested.
"That's great." Renault said with a smile: "The Silent Ridge is so magnificent. It will take at least several months or even years for the Wanbao Sect to explore and search for treasures. They don't care about these few days."
The two immediately found a secluded cave to rest and adjust their breath.
Lin Mu did not summon Qingniu from the Xuanyue Space. Before Qingniu went in, he had already explained that he was going to be ruthless and refine the Thunder Yuan Pearl no matter what. It happened that in the Xuanyue Space, the flow rate of time doubled. Before the battle came, he had the hope of refining the Thunder Yuan Pearl.
Lin Mu didn't have any expectations for this, so he just let Qingniu do it. He gave Qingniu half of the essence of the Thunder Tribulation.
He planned to summon Qingniu when the battle began. With Qingniu's powerful strength, it was like having an extra powerful trump card.
After resting in the cave for two days, the fatigue of the two people from the long journey was gone, and they were refreshed. They immediately started to move and flew to the depths of the Silent Ridge.
After exploring all the way, after going hundreds of miles deep inside, the two found an expedition team composed of five Yuanying stage cultivators.
"Five people!" Renault said excitedly: "Kill them? Call out Qingniu?"
"Of course we have to kill them!" Lin Mu said to himself: "Killing these five people will not make Qingniu come out. The two of us are enough."
Lin Mu immediately ordered: "You come to hold back the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and leave the remaining three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to me. I will come to help you after I kill them."
Renault curled his lips and said: "You look down on me too much. They are just two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and you still want to hold them back? Why don't we make a bet to see who can get rid of his opponent first."
As soon as the voice fell, Renault flew out like an arrow from a bow.
Lin Mu followed closely behind, exerting the sword intent, encircling the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and started fighting.
Using the Sui Xin Sword, Lin Mu immediately activated the sword intent and began to kill the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although the Sui Xin Sword is only a top-grade life-definition magic weapon, its power is far superior to the flying swords of the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. In order to prevent the three from feeling that the strength gap is too great and running away or simply exploding their Nascent Souls, he has been deliberately hiding his strength and maintaining a balance.
It was the first time that the Sui Xin Sword fought with someone, and Lin Mu was still a little uncomfortable.
His sword intent was the killing sword intent, but there was no trace of killing intent on the Sui Xin Sword.
Flying swords, especially the spiritual flying swords, all have killing intent. The stronger the killing aura of the flying sword, the more it fits with the sword intent of the cultivator, and the more powerful it is.
To cultivate the killing aura on the flying sword, you have to let it drink blood and kill people.
Lin Mu is now considered a half-master of refining weapons, and he is very familiar with these secrets. If the flying sword wants to be sharper, the stronger the killing aura must be, especially his sword intent is also the killing sword intent, which is more suitable than ordinary people.
The Sui Xin Sword has just come out, and there is still a long way to go in the future, and it needs to be tempered.
Lin Mu decided to use these Wanbao Sect cultivators to temper his Sui Xin Sword.
Temper the sword with battle!
Wow!
Lin Mu suddenly activated the sword intent of the Sword Intent Tongrong realm, and immediately sealed a late Nascent Soul cultivator, making him unable to move. Then he urged the Sui Xin Sword, and the sword flashed, and he killed the man with one sword. The remaining two late Nascent Soul cultivators did not react until then.
The two were immediately shocked.
Originally, Lin Mu was fighting against the three of them alone, and they thought that Lin Mu was extremely powerful, a little too powerful, but with the combined efforts of the three, they could still fight Lin Mu. They decided to slowly consume Lin Mu's cultivation and strike back.
Now, after Lin Mu displayed such a powerful sword intent, they all thought that Lin Mu was a cultivator in the Condensation Stage who was hiding his cultivation.
Swish! Swish!
The sword light flashed, and the two immediately ran away separately.
Lin Mu snorted coldly and tried his best to activate the sword intent. All the sword intent was released. The sword intent of the great success was a bit of a waste to deal with such a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though the two late Nascent Soul cultivators flew far away, their bodies still stopped abruptly.
The range of Lin Mu's sword intent was beyond imagination.
A late Nascent Soul cultivator was about to self-destruct when he saw that there was no hope of escape. Lin Mu pointed casually and the Sui Xin Sword flew swiftly, killing him like a puppet before he self-destructed his Nascent Soul.
Under such a powerful sword intent, the late Nascent Soul cultivator was completely a wooden stake. The power of the Sui Xin Sword soared dozens of times in the sword intent, and the speed was extremely fast, not even giving him a chance to self-destruct his Nascent Soul.
The last remaining late Nascent Soul cultivator was completely stunned. He even gave up the idea of self-destructing his Nascent Soul and closed his eyes to wait for death.
Lin Mu fulfilled his wish and killed him with one sword.
The Sui Xin Sword was murderous.
