Chapter 759: Making Friends

Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face, looking calm and composed.

He has now reached the state of not being shocked by praise or criticism. Unless it endangers himself, other people's words can no longer have much impact on him.

Derogation and praise are just what others say casually. They have nothing to do with him. He has long been indifferent.

No matter how stupid or talented he is, he is still himself. He will not change because of others' praise or criticism.

Lin Mu quickly got down to business.

He has been staying in the Xu family for a long time, not just for a short stay. As Xu Hong said, he can't be at ease to be Xu Jiao's personal bodyguard. He does have his own ideas.

However, he doesn't want to use Xu Jiao for anything, but let it go and never force it.

He wants to make this clear to Xu Hong.

Actually, since he came to the Xu family, he has helped Xu Jiao several times. This time, he helped the entire Xu family a lot in refining the purple sand sea. He did not ask for any reward from the Xu family.

"It's a coincidence. When Tianxiao Realm fell, I was separated from my junior sister Hua Jin. After that, I wandered all the way. More than half a year ago, I came to Jinxiu Realm and found a female cultivator under siege and in danger. I thought she looked familiar, so I rescued her. As I expected, she was indeed my junior sister Hua Jin, and now she is Xu Jiao's personal guard." Lin Mu smiled, "I was a newcomer at that time and had no place to live, so I followed Xu Jiao to Xu Mansion. I hope I'm sorry for bothering you."

"What are you talking about." Xu Hong smiled, "So, you came to Jinxiu Realm for a purpose?"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "I do have some ideas of my own."

Looking at Xu Hong, Lin Mu hurriedly said: "But please rest assured, I am only staying in Xu Mansion temporarily, and I have no other intentions. If your mansion has any inconvenience, I will move out immediately."

Lin Mu said this and immediately cleared himself of all responsibility.

Indeed, although he lived in Xu's house, he really didn't take advantage of Xu's house.

Hearing this, Xu Hong smiled and said, "You acted uprightly, and I saw it. Not to mention living here for half a year, even if you live in Xu's house for a long time in the future, I can't wait to be happy."

When he said this, he seemed to be showing goodwill to Lin Mu.

Taking a sip of tea, Xu Hong asked with concern, "I wonder what you want to do in Jinxiu Realm? Although the Xu family is not a big force in Jinxiu Realm, they can still say a few words in Qianjin City. Maybe I can help."

Seeing that Lin Mu was hesitant to speak, Xu Hong had to ask proactively.

"It's not a big deal." Lin Mu smiled and said, "You also know that for someone like me who has comprehended the sword domain in the Concentration Stage, when impacting the Return to Void Stage, the thunder tribulation is extremely powerful. This requires full preparation before impacting, otherwise, it is easy to be buried in the thunder tribulation, and all the previous efforts will be wasted."

Xu Hong nodded repeatedly.

"So I came to Jinxiu Realm to do some business, earn some spirit stones, accumulate some resources, and buy some powerful magic weapons in the future to increase my chances of overcoming the tribulation." Lin Mu said with a smile.

He said it as if it was an ordinary little thing, but Xu Hong could sense the burning ambition behind his words.

In the Concentration Stage, the Sword Realm is already in the middle stage of the Sword Realm. How powerful will the thunder tribulation be in the future?

It's simply unimaginable!

What kind of spiritual magic weapon can help him resist such a powerful thunder tribulation?

Such a thunder tribulation is probably difficult for cultivators in the Fusion Stage to resist.

He suddenly felt a surge of sympathy for Lin Mu.

Such a peerless genius is of course infinitely glorious and promising, but at the same time it is also a kind of sadness.

It's not sad for his talent, but his background is too sad.

As a casual cultivator, he has too much talent, but there is no corresponding supply of cultivation resources. Everything depends on his own struggle. In this process, he is destined to take many detours and waste a lot of time. If he misses the opportunity to transcend the tribulation, a peerless genius of a generation is destined to fall.

If he was born in a super power in the big world, he could enjoy endless cultivation resources and he would not have to worry about it at all. He just needed to practice with peace of mind. With his peerless talent, he would have great hope to impact the fusion stage, the immortal position, and ascend to immortality in the future!

In Xu Hong's opinion, Lin Mu's poor background restricted his development.

"To be honest, I have also used some power to secretly find out your details during this period of time." Xu Hong said truthfully, "After all, I also have to consider Xu Jiao's safety, but I can't find out anything about your past. Even though I know that you and Hua Jin are senior brothers and sisters from the Tianxiao Realm, I still can't find out anything."

"If what you said is true, it is really hard for me to imagine how you have come all the way from a casual cultivator to the foundation-building stage. There are only a few hundred years in between. Even if you practice day and night, it is almost impossible, not to mention that you still need to spend a lot of time to accumulate cultivation resources."

Xu Hong looked at Lin Mu with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing the helmsman of one of the five major forces in Qianjin City so confused, Lin Mu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Even he himself could not figure out his true background, let alone Xu Hong.

He had been in the Tianxiao Realm all this time, and it was destroyed. It was unknown how many of the cultivators who knew him were still alive. Although Hua Jin was his junior sister, most of her knowledge of him was from what others said.

He really rose to prominence after leaving the Tianxiao Realm.

Qianfang Realm was his blessed land, but it was also destroyed because of him.

Later, when he arrived in the Lingguang Realm, the inexplicable black shadows that appeared under the Lingshan Temple destroyed the entire Lingguang Realm, leaving no survivors.

How could Xu Hong find out his background?

Among these complicated things, except for Qianfang Realm, which was destroyed by him because of his possession, he was still confused about the real reasons for the destruction of the other two realms.

Even in the case of Qianfang Realm, he was actually possessed by the devil at that time, and he didn't remember anything. He was not sure whether all the cultivators in Qianfang Realm had died.

It can be said that although he personally experienced the destruction of the three realms, he was still vague.

Even the disappearance of his parents and the stone was inexplicable to him, and he didn't know the real reason.

Even he himself was full of doubts. It was impossible for Xu Hong to find out his background.

"I am indeed a casual cultivator, but I am lucky. I have had some adventures over the past few hundred years, which led to my current achievements." Lin Mu smiled and dispelled Xu Hong's doubts. "I am selling the jade slips of guidance in Linhai City this time. I believe you have heard of it. The Misty Fairyland is something I explored on my own. It was also the seed planted by my adventure back then."

"Although you are telling the truth, and I believe you will not lie, I am still very surprised and unbelievable." Xu Hong told the truth. "Your background is destined to be short of resources, and you have to spend a lot of time on this. But your achievements are so great that even the children of the super powers in the big world cannot compare with you. It's too shocking!"

"However, I also kindly remind you a few words. With your talent, it is better to attach yourself to the super power as soon as possible, so that the road ahead will be much easier. Otherwise, if you fail at the last minute due to resource problems and finally die, it is really a pity." Xu Hong was moved with sympathy for the talent.

Lin Mu nodded secretly.

He understood what Xu Hong meant. He could clearly hear the obvious solicitation.

On the road of cultivating immortals, it is too difficult to achieve great success by oneself. Everything must be done by oneself. The risks and twists and turns are all increasing sharply. The difficulty of cultivation is also many times higher than that of the children of big forces.

Lin Muyi has come this way. He knows the hardships he has suffered along the way better than anyone else. So when Xu Hong talks about it, he can empathize more and understand it deeply.

However, compared to relying on super forces, he prefers this kind of independent cultivation life, which is unrestrained and free.

He does not reject the use of resources from big forces, but if both parties are willing, if a big force wants to use this to oppress him and control him, then there is no need to think about it.

Now, with Piaomiao Fairyland, he is even more unwilling.

Perhaps ordinary peerless geniuses need to rely on super forces, but he does not need it.

He has embarked on a path that no one else has taken.

Since you are destined not to be mediocre, then you should shine all the way.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Lin Mu looked at Xu Hong, his eyes clear and deep, "I like making friends and freedom, but I don't like to rely on others and act according to others' faces. I know that it will be very, very difficult to go all the way with my own strength, but this is my persistence."

Lin Mu's voice was not loud, but the determination between the lines shocked Xu Hong.

He could understand why Lin Mu had achieved what he has now.

If a person has his own persistence, no matter how difficult it is, he has never changed his original intention, and success becomes a matter of course.

Other cultivators may have high talents, but they are too easy to change and too easy to be influenced by others. It is difficult for them to reach a very high level when they change their minds.

Lin Mu's words came from the heart, and Xu Hong immediately understood that he could give up his previous idea of ​​winning Lin Mu over to him.

A cultivator like Lin Mu can only be a friend or an enemy. It is almost impossible to control him.

At least, he can't do it.

If he does it by force, even if he is certain now and can control it by force, with Lin Mu's talent, it won't take long for him to turn over, and then he will probably suffer and suffer the consequences.

Instead of doing this, it is better to be free and easy. Being able to make such a friend is a good thing for the Xu family, both now and in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong couldn't help but say: "Speaking of your Piaomiao Fairyland, I have only heard of it. Why don't you tell me in detail? If it is appropriate, I plan to have the entire Xu family, tens of thousands of people, buy a jade slip for each person to receive it. What do you think?"
