Chapter 739: The Ferocious Beast in the Sea
Compared to Qianjin City, Linhai City is much smaller and busier.
The cultivators in the city come in and out, constantly traveling between Linhai City and Zisha Sea, and are extremely busy, which forms a huge contrast with the leisurely and carefree life in Qianjin City.
Seeing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but smile.
This scene is what he wants to see the most.
The cultivation level of the cultivators in Linhai City is much lower than that in Qianjin City. Most of them are Yuanying stage cultivators and Ningshen stage cultivators. The proportion of return to the void stage cultivators is very small. These cultivators are from the bottom, with average wealth, and need to rely on their own efforts to earn the spiritual stones and resources needed for cultivation.
They are tenacious, vigorous, and energetic.
As long as there are spiritual stones to earn, they don't care whether it is hard or not.
In other words, a little benefit can impress them.
What Lin Mu is thinking is that his jade slip of reception will hopefully be distributed smoothly.
The most important thing is that the cultivators here are not very advanced, and they are completely under his control. It is said that the one with the highest cultivation is only a cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void Stage, and he poses no threat to him.
Moreover, this is the territory of the Xu family. The cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void Stage is from the Xu family, and he only comes here occasionally, not for a long time.
This gives Lin Mu a lot of room to play.
Lin Mu is looking forward to being able to show his skills in the future and lay a solid foundation for the Misty Fairyland.
As soon as the three of them entered the city, a team of cultivators came to greet them in a hurry, asking about their well-being and showing great concern.
After Lin Mu asked, he found out that this smiling and running back and forth cultivator at the late stage of the Return to Void Stage was actually the deputy city lord of Linhai City, Teng Yunfei, who was mainly responsible for the sand refining duties of Linhai City.
The cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void Stage was the city lord of Linhai City, but he only came back once in a while and rarely asked about these things, so the real owner of Linhai City was this Teng Yunfei.
Lin Mu did not show any edge, still acting like an ordinary servant, following Xu Jiao, Teng Yunfei and his party, visiting Linhai City, and then went to the Purple Sand Sea to watch the process of Yuanying stage cultivators refining sand.
On the beach of the Purple Sand Sea, a large amount of ordinary purple sand can be refined. Refining sand here may not make you rich, but you can have a stable income.
In addition, ordinary Yuanying stage cultivators do not dare to go deep into the Purple Sand Sea.
The Purple Sand Sea is vast and boundless, and there are countless fierce beasts in the sea. It is extremely dangerous. Only some Condensation stage cultivators dare to really enter the Purple Sand Sea, and a few Return to Void stage cultivators can go deep into the depths of the Purple Sand Sea.
After Lin Mu asked, he knew that the top-grade purple sand was extremely precious. It was difficult to refine two kilograms of top-grade purple sand on the beach in a year.
It is not that one person can hardly refine two kilograms in a year, but that all the cultivators who refine sand can hardly refine two kilograms of top-grade purple sand in a year.
Such efficiency even surprised Lin Mu.
This is really too low!
Xu Jiao stopped the message, with an inexplicable worry on her face, and looked at Lin Mu frequently.
"Don't worry, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Learn more first, and maybe you can find a way soon." Lin Mu secretly sent a message to comfort Xu Jiao, "I also have an idea in my mind. If nothing goes wrong, the task should be completed in half a year."
After saying this, Lin Mu himself did not have much confidence in his heart.
All Yuanying stage cultivators, refining on the beach for a year, are difficult to refine two kilograms of top-grade purple sand.
Ten thousand kilograms of top-grade purple sand in half a year, this is almost an impossible task.
"This time my father asked me to take over Linhai City and wanted me to refine ten thousand kilograms of top-grade purple sand within half a year. How can I do this, City Lord Teng?" Xu Jiao couldn't help but ask Teng Yunfei for help.
Teng Yunfei has been in Linhai City for many years and is in charge of sand refining. He has the most experience in this regard.
If even he can't do it, it will be very tricky.
"Ten thousand kilograms of top-grade purple sand in half a year?" Teng Yunfei was shocked, and then shook his head repeatedly, "This is impossible. Not to mention the young lady coming, even if the head of the family comes, it may be difficult to do it."
"Where is the most top-grade purple sand?" Lin Mu asked.
"Generally speaking, it is difficult to find top-grade purple sand on the beach. After entering the purple sand sea, top-grade purple sand will increase. I have heard that in the depths of the purple sand sea, top-grade purple sand is everywhere!" Teng Yunfei said, "But in the depths of the purple sand sea, there are very powerful beasts, even ancient monsters. Even the fusion stage cultivators are not their opponents. If the return to the void stage cultivators go deep into it, they will be swallowed by the beasts and become their delicious meal."
Even the fusion stage cultivators are not their opponents.
Lin Mu was shocked again. It seems that this purple sand sea is also unfathomable.
It is not easy to help Xu Jiao complete the task this time.
Xu Jiao almost despaired after listening to Teng Yunfei's analysis.
The good mood along the way became gloomy when he got here.
Teng Yunfei looked at Lin Mu and smiled bitterly.
This was the intention of the patriarch, and he could do nothing to help. Moreover, he couldn't do it in the first place, not that he didn't want to help.
Along the way, he saw that Xu Jiao treated Lin Mu in a completely different way from other servants, and seemed more intimate. He was also extremely polite and courteous to Lin Mu.
Even though Lin Mu was only a cultivator in the Condensation Stage, and his cultivation level was a big realm lower than his, he spoke with a condescending manner, was very approachable, and always had a smile on his face.
Lin Mu nodded secretly in his heart.
This Teng Yunfei was very good at being a person, observing words and expressions, and dealing with people.
In this way, his next move would be much more convenient.
If he met a difficult city lord, he might have to make a big move again, wasting a lot of trouble, but now it was much easier.
Teng Yunfei took Xu Jiao, Lin Mu, and Hua Jin to a quiet mansion in the city.
This mansion was very large, with many courtyards, but no one lived there. It was specially prepared by Teng Yunfei for Xu Jiao.
After doing his best and making proper arrangements, Teng Yunfei smiled and bowed to say goodbye.
Xu Jiao returned to her room to rest in a depressed mood. Hua Jin followed her around without saying anything to comfort her. He just accompanied her quietly.
Xu Jiao was not a child. It was useless to comfort her before a solution was found.
After a short rest, Lin Mu left the mansion and went to the Purple Sand Sea alone.
Under the surprised eyes of a group of Yuanying and Concentrated cultivators, he flew directly into the Purple Sand Sea and flew to the depths.
After flying for two or three days, he stopped, and his figure flashed, and he dived into the sea.
After exploring the seabed, Lin Mu was surprised to find that there were purple sands everywhere. Of course, most of them were medium-quality purple sands, a small part of high-quality purple sands, and some of the best purple sands, but the number was not large, but it was many times better than that on the beach.
Refining sand is actually very simple.
These purple sands have already taken shape. It is nothing more than refining the mud and stains on the surface of the purple sands into pure and flawless purple sands with shining light. Lin Mu learned it after a few glances.
He immediately started to refine.
After two hours, he had refined hundreds of kilograms of top-grade purple sand and one kilogram of top-grade purple sand.
As for the mid-grade purple sand, there were all over the place, so he didn't want any.
At his speed, in this area, he could refine about ten kilograms of top-grade purple sand a day, and more than a thousand kilograms of top-grade purple sand in half a year.
With seven or eight cultivators like him, it wouldn't be a difficult task to complete the task together!
After Lin Mu weighed it this way, he couldn't help but smile.
It was just that cultivators like him were rare. After all, even cultivators in the Return to Void Stage were only slightly higher in cultivation than him, and their spiritual awareness and physical strength were not as good as his.
Compared with the efficiency of sand refining, cultivators in the Return to Void Stage could hardly compare with him.
Besides, how many people could refine sand in the depths of the purple sand sea day and night like this?
Lin Mu asked himself that he couldn't do it.
It wasn't that he didn't have the willpower, but that he couldn't do it.
He had more important things to do.
He flew over the sea for three days before arriving here. The amount of top-grade purple sand was quite considerable. If he went deeper, there might be more top-grade purple sand!
Lin Mu's mind moved, and he immediately floated to the surface and flew to the depths again.
Just after flying less than a hundred miles, a huge wave suddenly rolled up, and the sea was turbulent.
A huge white wave attacked Lin Mu at a high speed.
Lin Mu was startled, and when he looked closely, he was horrified to see that a huge beast several dozen feet long was swimming towards him.
From a distance, it opened its huge mouth, and a strong suction force suddenly appeared on Lin Mu, and the wind was howling, shocking inexplicably.
Lin Mu's cultivation was already in the Concentration Stage, but under such a huge suction force, he was still sucked away by the huge suction force.
Seeing the huge beast in front of him open its mouth, like a bottomless pit, Lin Mu's heart tightened, and he immediately used the boundless killing domain.
Boom!
The boundless killing domain descended, and the wind was still violent, but it had no effect on Lin Mu.
Lin Mu urged the Sui Xin Sword and chopped it down fiercely.
Bang!
A blue shield appeared at once.
The Sui Xin Sword only chopped the blue shield into pieces, but did not hurt the huge beast.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the huge beast immediately fled in panic.
Lin Mu was also surprised.
He used all his strength to attack, and now it was not a problem to kill a peak cultivator of the Return to Void Stage.
Of course, if a peak cultivator of the Return to Void Stage had excellent defensive strength, he would probably have to win for several rounds.
The huge beast in front of him was actually as strong as a peak cultivator of the Return to Void Stage!
The depths of this purple sand sea are indeed dangerous everywhere.
Lin Mu immediately urged the Sui Xin Sword and chopped it down again.
Ding!
Another blue shield, more powerful than the last time, took the initiative to meet it.
Lin Mu attacked with all his strength, and still managed to break the blue shield.
But when he turned around, the huge beast disappeared.
It ran away directly!
This surprised Lin Mu even more.
The beast was able to escape from him, which showed its strength.
Although he did not use his full strength and underestimated the enemy, this huge beast was definitely stronger than the average Return to Void Stage peak cultivator!
Even if there were five or six ordinary Return to Void Stage cultivators, this huge beast could still swallow them in one gulp.
Lin Mu thought of his previous idea and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Which Return to Void Stage cultivator would dare to come to such a dangerous place?
