Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 15: Water Flooding
"Brother Niu!" Du Xiaokui ignored the danger, strode forward, used his magic power to carry Niu Dali's limp body on his back, turned around and ran back.

The handsome young man seemed to have lost his mind. Even though the enemy was seriously injured and dying, he did not react at all and continued to rush towards the two with a ferocious face.

Du Xiaokui heard the noise, turned his head and looked, and immediately slipped in fright, falling to the ground again. Without even trying to get up, he looked up and shouted, "Second Brother Chen!"

Chen Mu's eyes were bloodshot and his anger was swelled.

The water lotus in Dantian trembled.

The eighty-second drop of spiritual liquid that had been unable to condense for a long time was finally condensed!

The fourth level of Qi Condensation! Fubo Water Diversion Technique!

The next moment, all the remaining spiritual fluid in the body disintegrated into mist, rushing out of the body like a river bursting its banks.

"Boom..." With the sound of waves, a rootless water appeared out of thin air around Niu Dali and the other man, flowing around him and rushing towards the handsome young man.

The young man couldn't tell the difference, so he just treated it as ordinary water and continued forward.

The next moment, the waters absorbed him, like a giant python entangling him, and a huge force crushed every part of his body.

"Squeak..." The young man staggered, staggered, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but the water rushed into his body.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

The water that had originally flowed into his mouth was not visible, but wisps of white smoke suddenly floated up and drifted upstream towards the handsome young man's sea of ​​consciousness, wrapping up the black evil spirit hiding inside.

Black mist was floating around the evil spirit, and it was screaming ferociously in extreme pain. It was obvious that the white smoke had a miraculous effect in refining the soul.

After a moment, the young man's eyes widened, his face wrinkled and swollen.

He actually drowned to death!
Seeing this, Chen Mu let out a sigh, relaxed his mind, and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Even the spell was not retracted. The water flowed and mixed with the rainwater on the ground, and was trapped in the formation.

Xiao Shuang put down the hands covering her ears and staggered towards Chen Mu, mumbling incoherently: "Second brother..."

He walked in to check and found that he was just unconscious. He quickly used his magic power to carry Chen Mu on his back.

The other disciples also joined her with Niu Dali.

"What should we do now? Senior Brother Niu and Senior Brother Chen have both fainted..."

"Hurry and find an exit!"

"Yes, yes, yes...exit..."

For a moment, only Du Xiaokui and Xiaoshuang were left to take care of Chen Mu and the other disciples, while the other disciples tried hard to recall the key points about the trap array that Uncle Zhang had mentioned during the previous teachings.

After a while, no disciple found the point to break the formation.

"Fortunately, those two people have no accomplices. Otherwise, if we relied on these senior brothers, we would have died long ago..." Du Xiaokui curled his lips.

Xiaoshuang nodded silently.

Suddenly, a disciple stood in the water, raised his hand and pointed to a corner in the air, and shouted: "I found it, I found it! The way out is here!"

The disciples looked in the direction he pointed with half belief and half doubt. As they were concentrating on watching, a strong white light flashed, and they immediately covered their eyes and wailed.

The next moment, there was another white light, and the formation that trapped everyone was like an upside-down black bowl, which was cut in half and slowly opened.

Lin Xuanming, who was outside the formation, used his spiritual sense to check Niu Dali the moment it opened.

“Still alive…”

...

On the way back to the mountain gate.

"So, it was that outer disciple named Chen Mu and Niu Dali who teamed up to kill them?" Lin Xuanming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at one of the disciples involved.

The disciple replied, "That's right, Senior Brother Lin. We are still alive thanks to Senior Brothers Niu and Chen..."

Lin Xuanming nodded and said nothing more...

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and found that he had returned to his residence in Qingzhu Valley. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I glanced at his chest and found that it had healed without me noticing.

But then he frowned, and felt a sharp pain in his dantian.

He closed his eyes and looked inward with his spiritual consciousness.

"My mana is exhausted... not even a bit left..."

He slowly got up and sat down, concentrating on recovering his magic power.

After a while, Chen Mu grinned as he felt the eighty-two drops of spiritual liquid in his dantian.

Although this trip was extremely dangerous, it saved me a lot of hard work.

What's more, if you complete the mission, the sect will also give you other rewards...

Looking through the bamboo window at the distant mountains, they are majestic and pleasing to the eye.

When he took a closer look, Chen Mu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. It was Du Xiaokui, lying on the grass slope with his legs crossed, basking in the sun.

Chen Mu pushed the door open and walked out. Du Xiaokui, who was enjoying himself, heard the noise, turned around, and immediately stood up and trotted over. "Second Brother Chen, you're awake... Are you okay?"

Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, "I was unconscious for a few days..."

"Three days."

"Where's Brother Niu?"

"He probably hasn't woken up yet. He was picked up by his master as soon as he came back."

"Master...how are you going to handle this trial..."

Du Xiaokui scratched his head. "I don't know, but I heard from Zhu Yuelian yesterday that the sect reprimanded Senior Brother Zhou Weiqian for this matter, but she couldn't explain the specific punishment."

Chen Mu nodded and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, Second Brother Chen, Zhu Yuelian also told me that when you wake up, she will ask you to go find Uncle Zhang." Du Xiaokui slapped his thigh and said in sudden realization.

Chen Mu came back to his senses and said, "I'll go right away."

...

After walking up the steps for a while, they arrived at a pavilion built halfway up the mountain. After going a few steps further, they went up to the second floor and saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged on a bamboo mat.

Chen Mu took two steps forward and saluted, "Uncle Zhang."

"Hmm." Uncle Zhang opened his eyes. "You seem to be overflowing with spiritual energy. I guess you've recovered from your rest?"

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. I have recovered as before."

Uncle Zhang nodded when he heard this. "As for this trial... it's true that our sect was not considerate enough... The head disciple has already reprimanded the true disciple Zhou Weiqian..."

Chen Mu remained silent. It was simply a matter of unequal status. Even if it were any other sect in the world of immortal cultivation, they wouldn't severely punish a true disciple just for a few outer disciples... In fact, even the reprimand was probably because of Niu Dali...

Uncle Zhang, noticing Chen Mu's silence, slowly stood up and gazed out at the mountain stream. "Since you, the Immortal Seedlings, have been under my care. We already have a bond of master and disciple. I will do my best to seek justice for you all. As for this matter... please don't mention it again."

"Thank you, uncle master. I have learned the pros and cons of this matter." Chen Mu nodded.

"That's good. The rewards you deserve for this trial will be given to you after a while. Now that you have reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation, you can become an inner disciple. We are currently short of resources, so I hope you can make good use of them and make further progress." said Uncle Zhang.

Chen Mu bowed and agreed.

He also understood that once he entered the inner sect, he would have access to many more resources than those cultivating in the outer sect. If a disciple with low-grade spiritual roots like him wanted to advance step by step, he had to have sufficient resources!
Take this trial for example. If you had hit a bottleneck and taken the Minor Barrier Breaking Pill directly, you wouldn't have a 100% chance of breaking through, but at least a 70% or 80% chance... You could have advanced to the fourth level of Qi Condensation earlier, and wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation...
