Chapter 835: Deserted Wonderland
Lin Mu was overjoyed and prepared to nurture and refine the Sui Xin Sword with all his strength. The remaining spiritual treasures would at least restore their previous power.
However, it was extremely regrettable that after condensing two earth-grade spirit beads, he found that the spiritual consciousness of Piaomiao Fairyland had been exhausted.
Millions of cultivators entered Piaomiao Fairyland. Under his generous rewards, many cultivators were tempering their spiritual consciousness in the quiet room, or entering the illusion of challenging themselves, tempering and improving themselves, hoping that if the challenge was successful, they would be able to soar into the sky.
In just half a year, the spiritual consciousness accumulated in Piaomiao Fairyland was extremely deep, but after the Five Elements Magic Mirror was promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure, its power was almost lost. Just restoring the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror consumed more than half of the spiritual consciousness of Piaomiao Fairyland.
Although the peerless spiritual treasure is powerful, the spiritual consciousness consumed to restore its power is also extremely amazing.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would probably take most of his life to slowly nurture and refine it to restore the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror.
Even if the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror was restored in a short period of time, the price paid was imaginable, and it would definitely not be easy.
In addition, the power of the two excellent spiritual treasures, Qingyun Ding and Sui Xin Sword, was also restored, and two earth-grade condensing beads were consumed, and the spiritual consciousness in the ethereal fairyland was swept away.
A good cook cannot cook without rice.
Without the spiritual consciousness, let alone refining the Sui Xin Sword to the level of a peerless spiritual treasure, even wanting to restore the power of the Fire Element Armor, the Golden Light Sword, and ten spiritual treasures, would become a luxury.
Do we have to wait another half a year?
Many forces in the ten major cities around him have united to deal with him. It took him three months to stabilize his cultivation and recover his vitality. If he waited another half a year, there would be too many variables. I am afraid that before he could recover the power of these spiritual magic weapons, those forces would unite and attack him.
What's more, he consumed so much of his spiritual consciousness and did not fully recover the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror.
The recovery and improvement of the power of magic weapons is just like the improvement of cultivation by cultivators. The more time passes, the more spiritual consciousness is consumed and the speed of improvement is much more difficult, and the speed will also decrease a lot.
It is not an easy thing to achieve the goal.
Lin Mu entered the Piaomiao Fairyland to check it out, and soon found another very bad news.
In order to encourage cultivators to consume spiritual consciousness in the Piaomiao Fairyland, he came up with two countermeasures. In the first few months, the effect was remarkable.
However, in the past few months since he returned from the tribulation, he has clearly discovered that the number of cultivators who are content to temper their spiritual consciousness in the quiet room in order to receive generous rewards is decreasing.
More than half of the cultivators gave up halfway through and returned empty-handed, wasting all the time before.
Lin Mu felt sorry for them.
It was almost a year, and they couldn't hold on any longer. It was a pity.
Of course, he also felt sorry for himself. These cultivators gave up, and the accumulation of their spiritual consciousness in the Misty Fairyland slowed down.
Having said that, such cultivators, with such impetuous minds, couldn't even hold on to such things, and their future achievements would be limited.
Only those who endured hardships can become superior people.
Practicing in the quiet room and tempering their spiritual consciousness are actually very beneficial to them. Lin Mu was helpless because they couldn't hold on.
He helped the cultivators to provide such an excellent place to cultivate their spiritual consciousness, and even took out his own skills and cultivation resources to reward the diligent and persistent ones. He asked himself that he had done everything he should do. If he could not rise or go further, he could only blame himself for being too lazy and lacking perseverance.
The number of cultivators who tempered their spiritual consciousness in the quiet room dropped by more than half, and Lin Mu was extremely distressed.
But compared with the illusion of transcending oneself, the loss of cultivators was nothing more than a small witch compared to a big witch.
When he first set up the illusion of transcending oneself, it was almost all the rage in the Misty Fairyland and received thousands of favors. Many cultivators kept entering the illusion to challenge, almost becoming addicted and enjoying it.
At that time, the genius cultivators were rushing to challenge successfully and get rich rewards.
Ordinary cultivators, who had nothing to do, relied on this to pass the time, and at the same time they could temper and improve their spiritual consciousness. They not only gained fun and passed the lonely time, but also improved their spiritual consciousness cultivation, which was the best of both worlds.
But after more than half a year, more than 80% of the cultivators have lost interest in the illusion of transcending themselves.
The other self in the illusion is the self in his prime, with good timing, and can also use the white mist in the illusion to hide his body and sneak attack quietly, which also occupies the geographical advantage. The real self has only 20% to 30% of his consciousness entering the ethereal fairyland, and his strength is greatly reduced, and he has lost the support of people.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary cultivators to succeed in the challenge.
At the beginning, most people were very excited, and they really wanted to kill time. They had never seen such an illusion before, and they felt it was very novel, but over time, this novelty passed, and the attraction of this illusion to them dropped sharply.
In addition, no one likes to fail, but they can't succeed in the challenge. After continuous failures, these ordinary cultivators are not very strong-willed. After feeling hit and destroyed, they can no longer experience any fun. What's left is endless despair and frustration.
So they all left.
Lin Mu was slightly relieved that only a small number of those cultivators with excellent talents left, and most of them continued to challenge.
In less than a year, many cultivators have touched the edge of successful challenges.
This is the real victory of the weak over the strong!
It seems to be just a simple illusion, but if the challenge is successful, the condensation and persistence of the spiritual consciousness, as well as the unpredictable manipulation of the magic weapon, are greatly improved, and the attack power of the flying sword is far better than before. Fighting against cultivators of the same level, even if the sword attainments, cultivation, and flying sword power are exactly the same, they can easily win without suspense.
If they succeed in challenging this illusion and receive Lin Mu's generous rewards, their strength will soar even more crazily.
This is almost a risk-free and excellent way to quickly improve their strength.
Especially for genius cultivators, it is perfect.
But genius cultivators are a small minority after all, and the majority are always ordinary cultivators.
But what Lin Mu hopes for is that there will be a large number of cultivators who can practice, challenge, and constantly consume their spiritual consciousness in the Misty Fairyland.
At this point, in order to achieve his wish, he had to change his strategy and think of some ways to attract cultivators to enter the Misty Fairyland to consume their spiritual consciousness.
At the beginning, in order to achieve this step, he really thought hard and racked his brains, almost exhausted.
Now, he also feels a headache.
