Chapter 64: Hard Training

After a while, Lin Mu came back to his senses.

Looking at the five elements ring and jade slip in his hand, Lin Mu felt warm in his heart.

Back in the quiet room, Lin Mu input spiritual power into the jade slip and began to check the contents recorded in it.

Two hours later, Lin Mu put down the jade slip.

This jade slip records the experience of Tian Zhu Zhenren, the master of Elder Luo Yan, in refining instruments, which is called "General Principles of Refining Instruments".

This "General Principles of Refining Instruments" records in detail the methods of refining instruments and magic weapons, as well as the methods of offering and refining instruments and magic weapons. Tian Zhu Zhenren's attainments in refining instruments are superb, and Lin Mu is deeply attracted. The contents in the jade slip are easy to understand and easy to understand, and Lin Mu is deeply immersed in it.

From the jade slip, Lin Mu learned that the power of this instrument mainly lies in three aspects.

First, look at the power of the instrument itself. The power of a medium-grade instrument is generally greater than that of a low-grade instrument, and the power of a high-grade instrument is far greater than that of a medium-grade instrument. The higher the grade of the instrument, the greater the power.

The second is to look at the level of the cultivator. The same magic weapon will naturally exert different power in the hands of different people. The cultivator with high cultivation will input more spiritual power into the magic weapon, and the power will naturally be greater. The cultivator with low cultivation is completely the opposite and cannot fully exert the true power of the magic weapon.

Generally speaking, Qi Refining cultivators use low-grade magic weapons, Foundation Building cultivators use medium-grade magic weapons, and Spiritual Silence cultivators use high-grade magic weapons. This combination is more reasonable. A medium-grade magic weapon can only exert half of its power in the hands of Qi Refining cultivators. If a high-grade magic weapon is in the hands of Qi Refining cultivators, it can't even exert one-tenth of its power.

The third is to look at the cultivator's proficiency in manipulating the magic weapon. The same cultivation, the same magic weapon, but the power exerted may be different, the key lies in the proficiency in manipulating the magic weapon. The more you understand the magical use of the magic weapon and the more skillful you use it, the greater the power of the magic weapon.

Only after the cultivators have sacrificed and refined the magic weapon, and left a trace of spiritual consciousness on the magic weapon, can the magic weapon be truly used.

The jade slip also said that the speed of refining the magic weapon is closely related to the cultivator's cultivation and spiritual consciousness. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the spiritual consciousness, and the faster the speed of refining the magic weapon.

Lin Mu's cultivation is now at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he is only one step away from the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he sacrifices the Five Elements Ring and the Earth Luo Umbrella now, I am afraid that half a year will be consumed. The trip to the Fire Dragon Valley is extremely dangerous. Lin Mu still needs time to make some other preparations. Otherwise, with his current strength, going to the Fire Dragon Valley is tantamount to seeking death.

Lin Mu decided to work hard to improve his cultivation first. After the cultivation is improved, not only will his strength increase, but the speed of refining the magic weapon will also be faster, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

There are more than 300 bottles of Juling Dan left, which is enough for Lin Mu to support for several months.

Lin Mu sealed the courtyard door, set up a ban in the quiet room, and flashed into the Xuanyue space.

This time, Lin Mu decided to retreat for a long time, and would never come out before the Gathering Spirit Pill was used up.

Sitting in front of the hut, Lin Mu swallowed a Gathering Spirit Pill and began to enter a state of meditation.

The Gathering Spirit Pill quickly transformed into spiritual power in the body, which was refined and absorbed by Lin Mu. The spiritual power circulated in Lin Mu's body according to a fixed route. Every time the spiritual power circulated a cycle, the spiritual power in the body increased by one point. Lin Mu can now make the spiritual power circulate in the body for eight consecutive cycles, and the speed of increasing cultivation is much faster than before.

The number of Gathering Spirit Pills Lin Mu took every day was also increasing, from two bottles at the beginning to three bottles. Half a month later, Lin Mu broke through the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi Refining and entered the ninth level of Qi Refining.

This result was expected by Lin Mu long ago, and he was not very surprised. He continued to take the Gathering Spirit Pill and practiced hard.

His cultivation was also slowly increasing.

…

After the internal competition, Qianyu Sword Sect was no longer bustling, and the sect once again returned to its previous quiet and peaceful state.

Some of the outer disciples were still working hard to cultivate and strive to participate in the next competition; some gave up on themselves, felt that there was no hope of building a foundation, and began to enjoy life, traveling around the sect and playing with female disciples. There were also some who were muddle-headed and drifted with the flow, neither working hard nor coveting enjoyment. Such people were the largest number.

But what everyone was surprised about was that since the end of the competition, no one had seen Xiang Yi, Luo Yun, Lin Mu, Wei Sheng, and Ye Xing. They seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and their figures never appeared in the sect again.

Gu Chen was also very puzzled.

For four consecutive months, he had never seen Lin Mu, and Lin Mu had never stepped into the Baiwu Pavilion.

Before, when Lin Mu was there, among the many disciples of the Baiwu Pavilion, Gu Chen had the highest income, and the commission he took every time was far more than that of other disciples.

But since Lin Mu disappeared, Gu Chen's business has been going from bad to worse, and has fallen to the same level as other disciples.

Gu Chen didn't know what happened. He had secretly inquired about Lin Mu's news, but found nothing. He was worried and ran to Lin Mu's yard in person, but after knocking on the door for a long time, no one came out to open the door.

The same thing happened to Xiang Yi, Luo Yun, Ye Xing, and Wei Sheng.

Qianyu Sword Sect was too quiet, and many disciples felt an unusual atmosphere.

But no one could tell where this depressing atmosphere came from.

Everyone was waiting silently, and they could only wait silently.

Four months later.

Xuanyue Space, in front of the hut.

Lin Mu woke up from his meditation, his eyes full of joy.

After four months of continuous hard training, more than 300 bottles of Juling Pills were all used up.

These efforts finally paid off.

Lin Mu could clearly feel at this moment that the surging spiritual power in his body was at least three times more than before.

Tenth level of Qi Refining!

This is Lin Mu's current cultivation.

The spiritual energy in the Dantian has become extremely dense, and it has already become atomized. Lin Mu knows that if these spiritual energy gases can be atomized into liquid, he can enter the foundation-building stage.

Four months in Xuanyue Space is no different from eight months outside.

During these four months, Lin Mu has been staying in Xuanyue Space without taking a single step out.

On weekdays, he completely relies on the Bigu Pill to fill his stomach and takes Juling Pills to increase his cultivation.

After reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining, there is no gap between Lin Mu and several other disciples. In terms of spiritual awareness, he is even better.

Lin Mu is more confident in this trip to Fire Dragon Valley.

In the next two months, Lin Mu plans to devote all his energy to refining the Five Elements Ring and the Earth Umbrella.

Before refining the magic weapon, Lin Mu decided to go to the Sutra Library to buy the "Art of Controlling Objects".

It was explained in the "General Principles of Refining Objects" that if you want to flexibly control the magic weapon, you must first learn the "Art of Controlling Objects".

The "Art of Controlling Objects" is the basis for controlling all magic weapons. For cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage, this is the most basic technique.

After exiting the Xuanyue Space, Lin Mu appeared in the quiet room. The restrictions in the quiet room were still intact. Obviously, no one else broke in forcibly. Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and his only worry was put down.

After checking the number of spirit stones in the storage ring, Lin Mu found that there were still more than 500 pieces. He felt relieved. These spirit stones were more than enough to buy the "Art of Controlling Objects".

Lin Mu left the courtyard, performed the "Art of Controlling Wind", and flew towards Luoxia Peak.
