Chapter 912 A Breathing Space

Going forward, they returned to Yuelai Inn.

Gu Zhenhao had been waiting outside the inn when he heard the news.

Seeing Lin Mu coming back, he couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he was surprised to see that Lin Mu's cultivation had plummeted and fell to the early stage of returning to the void, and the whole person looked listless.

"What happened?" Gu Zhenhao asked with concern, "Why did his cultivation suddenly decline so much?"

"The enemy is too strong, I had no choice but to consume my original spiritual power to rescue my friend." Lin Mu didn't want to say more and just said it.

Gu Zhenhao sighed secretly, looked up and down at Lin Mu, and had to say, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Du Cheng, who was already in the late stage of fusion, has not returned yet. Rumor has it that Du Cheng has fallen.

He has been unable to contact Lin Mu, and he is also very worried about Lin Mu's safety. Now that Lin Mu has returned, a big stone in his heart has finally fallen.

Although his cultivation level has declined a lot this time, his strength must have also declined. The prospect of the Mineral Vein Competition is bleak, but for Lin Mu, being able to enter the final round-robin battle is already a great honor, even if he loses all the subsequent competitions, it doesn't matter.

With Lin Mu's talent, he may be able to compete for the top three in the next Mineral Vein Competition a hundred years later.

Temporary ups and downs are nothing.

He has lived for tens of thousands of years and has long seen things through.

It's just that he is too concerned. Lin Mu's momentum was very strong before, and even his heart, which had been calm for a long time, was boiling with blood. So naturally, his expectations for Lin Mu became extremely far-reaching.

Now that he has regained his sanity, he should also face the reality.

"How is the competition going now?" Lin Mu asked.

This is what he cares about most.

"Three rounds of fifteen rounds have passed." Gu Zhenhao looked at Lin Mu and pretended to be relaxed, "You missed three rounds before, which is already considered a three-game losing streak."

Lin Mu nodded lightly. On his way back, he had heard other cultivators say it.

"How strong are my three opponents?" Lin Mu asked immediately.

Although the competition was over, he was still very concerned.

This was a very regrettable thing after all.

If the three opponents were very weak, it would be even more regrettable.

"Everything has its pros and cons. Your sister's rushing back is actually not a bad thing." Gu Zhenhao smiled and comforted, "The first cultivator who fought against you was Liao Feng. He was the third in the last Mineral Vein Competition Conference. After the first place became the elder of the Mineral Vein Alliance, he is now the second. He is extremely powerful. I'm afraid you are not his opponent in your prime."

Lin Mu's face showed a hint of joy when he heard this.

Gu Zhenhao was telling the truth.

Even if he rushed back, he would definitely not be able to defeat such an opponent.

"What about the remaining two opponents?" Lin Mu asked.

"One of the remaining two opponents was also in the top ten of the last competition." Gu Zhenhao explained, "Even if you rush back, whether you win or lose, it will not have much impact on him. I believe he will still have a place in the top ten."

"It's a pity that the third opponent has just been promoted to the late stage of fusion." Gu Zhenhao said, "If you can rush back, you may be able to win."

Lin Mu smiled: "It's a pity that there are only two powerful opponents, but this result is not bad."

In the later competitions, if he works hard and must defeat the cultivators he should defeat, he may have the hope of becoming the top ten.

Everything depends on human efforts.

If he works hard and still cannot become the top ten, at least he will not have any regrets in his heart.

"When will the next competition start?" Lin Mu asked immediately.

"Two days later!" Gu Zhenhao asked, "Do you still want to participate?"

Lin Mu nodded seriously: "My cultivation has only declined, but my sword attainments have not regressed at all. Why can't I continue the competition? My previous battles were not based on cultivation."

Cultivation has always been his biggest disadvantage.

Gu Zhenhao nodded helplessly.

What Lin Mu said made sense, but he always felt that this matter was very uncertain.

Cultivation, after all, is the root of everything.

Although Lin Mu said that it did not have much impact, he knew it very well.

But he couldn't persuade Lin Mu to give up.

He heard many cultivators say that round-robin battles are of great benefit to cultivators. After fighting with masters one by one, it is like undergoing a series of tempering. Their vision and strength will be significantly improved.

The grasp of the battle is also on a higher level.

In round-robin battles, even if they lose, they will not be eliminated.

There are still twelve competitions to come. I believe that after the twelve competitions, Lin Mu's talent is much higher than other practitioners, and he will definitely benefit a lot.

"I will prepare well in the next two days." Lin Mu said with a smile, "If anyone comes to visit and greet me in the next two days, please send them away for me."

Gu Zhenhao smiled and nodded, urging Lin Mu to go and rest.

After saying goodbye to Gu Zhenhao, Lin Mu went straight to his own quiet room, and then set up many restrictions. His figure flashed and he entered the Xuanyue Space.

In two days, he spent four days in the Xuanyue Space.

Although four days is also very short, it is better than nothing. One more day can make more preparations.

Sitting cross-legged in the Xuanyue Space Hut, Lin Mu took out the storage bag and began to plan for the next step.

It is simply impossible to quickly recover in four days.

Physical injuries can be healed as much as possible by taking pills.

The sea of ​​consciousness was shaken, and after quiet cultivation, it was almost restored to its original state.

In terms of sword domain, he did not decline at all.

Although the flying sword power has been promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure and the realm has been improved, the power has been exhausted before, and the power is not as good as before.

In this regard, there is a lot to be done.

Lin Mu checked the storage bag and finally found what he wanted.

With a thought, a shuttle-shaped treasure and a jade slip appeared in front of him.

This was Du Cheng's trump card that almost killed him!

Lin Mu input spiritual power into the jade slip and began to check the origin of this shuttle-shaped treasure.

At a glance, his face changed instantly.

This shuttle-shaped treasure, called the Infant-Destroying Shuttle, was so terrifying!

In terms of realm, the Infant-Destroying Shuttle was only at the level of a spiritual magic weapon, but unlike ordinary spiritual magic weapons, the Infant-Destroying Shuttle could burst out all its power in one attack and detonate the cultivator's Nascent Soul.

If the cultivator himself blew himself into nothingness!

If the Infant-Destroying Shuttle at the level of a spiritual magic weapon is used properly, even a cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage has a chance to be killed!

The sharpness was extremely terrifying.

Lin Mu felt a chill on his back and felt extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. At that moment, his Nascent Soul left his body and he happened to avoid the attack of the Infant-Destroying Shuttle.

Otherwise, even if he had two Nascent Souls, it would be difficult for him to survive until now.

It was too thrilling!

Lin Mu carefully examined the Infant-killing Shuttle in front of him and sighed.

The power of the Infant-killing Shuttle had been mostly consumed, and now the light had become peaceful.

Lin Mu decided to cultivate this treasure carefully.

Such a treasure can be used as his trump card.

It is much more powerful than the Five Yin Thunder Pearl he obtained at the beginning.

However, once the Infant-killing Shuttle is used, it is almost fatal.

If it is not a fight with human life, such a treasure cannot be used at all on weekdays.

In the next competition, no matter how powerful the Infant-killing Shuttle is, he will find it difficult to use it.

Moreover, if the Infant-killing Shuttle is used, it is very likely to use up all its power at once. For ordinary cultivators, it may only be used once or twice in a lifetime.

For him, with the Piaomiao Fairyland, he can restore the power of the Infant-killing Shuttle in a very short time.

In other words, the Infant-killing Shuttle can only exert its greatest power in his hands!

It is also the most promising.

In the future, he may be able to nurture and refine the Infant-killing Shuttle to the level of a peerless spiritual treasure. In that case, no one will be his opponent in the Fusion Stage, and he can easily kill the peak cultivators in the Fusion Stage!

However, all this can only be thought of now.

The power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror has been exhausted, and the spiritual consciousness in the Misty Fairyland is also very little.

It is not easy to restore the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror and the Sui Xin Sword.

It is impossible to refine another peerless spiritual treasure with the current number of cultivators in the Misty Fairyland.

It can only wait until later.

Putting away the Infant-killing Shuttle, Lin Mu no longer thought about it, and began to concentrate on restoring the power of the Sui Xin Sword.

In the next competition, his ranking depends entirely on the Sui Xin Sword.

Originally, if the Sui Xin Sword was promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure, he would definitely be in the top ten, without any suspense.

Now, with his cultivation declining and the power of the Sui Xin Sword exhausted, hope has become extremely slim.

The battle with Du Cheng and Du Xin has yielded a lot, but now it seems that the losses are equally heavy.

Next, he can only try his best to make up for it.

Fortunately, there are tens of millions of cultivators in the Piao Miao Fairyland. After ten days, with the remaining spiritual consciousness, Lin Mu barely managed to condense a ground-grade concentration bead.

At the critical moment, this ground-grade concentration bead is particularly important.

Lin Mu did not dare to waste it, and began to carefully nurture and temper the Sui Xin Sword with all his heart.

Gradually, the Sui Xin Sword began to restore its light and its power slowly recovered.

Time passed quickly, and four days passed in the Xuan Yue space in a blink of an eye.

Lin Mu's mind moved, and his figure appeared in the quiet room. After washing and changing into clean clothes, he opened the ban and walked out of the quiet room.

Gu Zhenhao waited for a long time, without exchanging pleasantries, and said immediately: "The competition will start soon, let's go quickly, don't miss it again!"

Lin Mu smiled and nodded.

The two of them immediately went to the opposite platform.

Outside the opposite platform, it was densely packed with cultivators.

As soon as Lin Mu appeared, he caused a sensation, and the crowd began to talk.

Some were optimistic, some were mocking, and all kinds of people were talking.

Lin Mu stood in the audience, closed his eyes and rested, ignoring everything, and concentrated on waiting for the competition to begin.

Who knew that his thoughts were in vain.

After the white-clothed elder came on stage, he began to call for cultivators to come on stage to compete.

The elder of the fifth battle stage called out loudly: "Lin Mu, Du Cheng!"

Lin Mu heard this, his face remained calm, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

I didn't expect that this round would be Du Cheng!

Isn't this equivalent to directly announcing his victory?

Next, he has three more days to breathe!

Efforts will not be in vain after all.

I didn't expect that Du Cheng can still play a role after his death.

This battle, no matter how big the loss is, it is worth it!
