Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 156 On the Dharma Boat
Two days later, above the Kurosawa Mountains.

The sky was as dark as usual, with thin clouds spreading out, rolling in with wisps of breeze.

After an unknown amount of time, five huge magic ships broke through the sea of ​​clouds, like a mysterious giant beast hidden deep in the sky, poking its head out and watching the creatures on the earth.

Chen Mu stood on the deck, his sleeves fluttering, but his gaze did not change. Instead, he stared into the distance for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about.

"The sophistication of 'Water Source Notes' is indeed much stronger than 'Timely Rain Art'. Although I don't know its rank, just looking at the description, I know it should be similar. It might even be a top-tier Qi Refining Method..."

He pondered inwardly, but his mind gradually returned to normal as the sea of ​​clouds rolled over him.

Chen Mu was very clear about his shortcomings. His pure magic power and amazing combat ability were nothing from another perspective. After all, there were many amazing and outstanding people among the six sects of Zhao State alone.

Therefore, if you want to truly stand out and be ahead of ordinary people, talent, skills, and resources are all indispensable!

Natural talent should be his biggest shortcoming, but because of the mysterious water lotus in his body, his cultivation level is only slightly lower than that of Niu Dali, who has a top-grade spiritual root.

Since the beginning of his practice, he has never worried about this.

As for resources, there is no need to mention that he now has a lot of valuable things hidden in his storage bag, but he just didn't exchange them for spirit stones.

What made him feel regretful was precisely the idea of ​​the technique that should have been the easiest to solve.

The skills mentioned here can actually be roughly divided into two categories: Qi refining methods and magic spells.

Needless to say, Chen Mu has always been very interested in magic, and his opportunities have lived up to his expectations. Before he reached the peak of Qi Condensation, he had already mastered two top-level killing spells, and his realm was already quite good.

As for the method of refining Qi, it was an issue that he gradually paid attention to. Especially as his realm improved, he felt more and more that a good method could give a cultivator certain advantages.

Take the "Timely Rain Art" that he is practicing now for example. He is an exception because of the water lotus in his body, but for ordinary cultivators, the magic power condensed by practicing this method is far less profound than that of Niu Dali and others.

Chen Mu had also thought about changing his cultivation method and even went to the Dharma Pavilion for this purpose. However, after selecting, he found that the cultivation methods he could change to had very limited improvements and were not worth the effort at all.

Shuiyunjian also has some exquisite skills, but because he is not a true disciple, he cannot access the skills passed down by his master.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up the idea and decided to wait until he was promoted to a true disciple before changing his practice.

Who knew that although he was still far from the true teachings, he would receive the exquisite method from the Central Plains of China, and what surprised him the most was not just that.

"Condensing Qi into liquid, transforming it into a spirit pool, infusing it with essence, transforming it into the foundation of the Dao... This method actually has a chapter on foundation-building!"

"Hahaha... This saves me a lot of effort. If I succeed in building my foundation in the future, I won't have to switch to other methods."

"And judging by the description above, I have already passed the stage of condensing Qi into liquid and transforming it into a spirit pool. Once I reach the peak of cultivation, I can directly refine my origin and transform my foundation."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile.

"However, changing to a new cultivation method can't be accomplished overnight. Otherwise, I have to start practicing now!"

"Unfortunately, I can only try again after returning to the mountain gate."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly and suppressed the impatient desire in his heart.

After a moment, he suddenly turned around and walked into the cabin.

But before he could take a few steps, he felt the gaze of someone not far away.

Chen Mu stopped and turned to look over. "Is it you?"

She Yingtan, dressed in a dark green dress, was leaning against the guardrail of the Dharma Boat, looking at Chen Mu quietly with a calm expression, and it was obvious that she had been looking at him for a long time.

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he did not continue to walk inside. Instead, he turned slightly and took two steps forward.

"Fellow Daoist She, why didn't you take care of your soul injury and come out?"

However, these Qi Condensation disciples who had fainted had their soul energy sucked out of their bodies, and had all suffered more or less damage. So, during the few days they had returned to the mountain gate, they all took the soul-nourishing pills given by their elders, so that they could recover as soon as possible without any defects.

Even Niu Dali, Han Jing and others were the same, so Chen Mu stood outside the cabin bored, letting his thoughts wander.

"It's really stuffy inside, I want to come out and get some fresh air."

She Yingtan smiled slightly and replied softly.

"Yes." Chen Mu nodded and said, "The soul is of utmost importance. Fellow Daoist She, please don't be careless, or you will regret it."

Upon hearing this, She Yingtan looked away, and after a moment, she jokingly said, "If it were before the demonic disaster, I would never have believed that such caring words could come out of your mouth."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head and smiled, thinking of their first two encounters.

The first time was when she was dealing with the monks from the Golden Light Valley and he resolutely took away the toad's corpse.

The second time was in Qingxi Town, when he pointed out the direction of her escape, causing her to be taken back to the mountain gate and put in solitary confinement.

This action probably made She Yingtan think that he was a selfish person, so she teased him now...

Chen Mu regained his composure and said calmly, "I wouldn't rush to give instructions to others, but Fellow Daoist She, after all, helped Shuiyunjian a lot during this demonic disaster, so I naturally have to treat him differently!"

The voice sounded slowly, and She Yingtan nodded.

After a moment, she suddenly turned her head, stared into Chen Mu's eyes, and asked softly with a serious expression: "Is that all?"

The sea of ​​clouds was vast, but the Dharma Boat was still moving forward rapidly with very little noise. However, it was protected by a shield, so there was only a gentle breeze.

At this moment, as She Yingtan asked softly, the loose hair on her forehead was blown by the wind, slightly covering the inexplicable look in the depths of her eyes.

Chen Mu was stunned again. Perhaps he couldn't understand what she meant, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

“Puchi…hahahaha…”

She Yingtan suddenly burst into laughter, even bending over to rub her stomach, still laughing.

After a while, she panted, wiped her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Just teasing you!"

Chen Mu was certain in his heart, then he realized it and quickly responded with a smile: "Of course it's not just that. Besides Shuiyunjian, Fellow Daoist She has also helped me a lot. In my eyes, I already regard you as a fellow Daoist friend!"

"That's more like it!" She Yingtan said coquettishly, then turned around, looked into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds and said no more, wondering what she was thinking.

Chen Mu did not leave, but looked into the distance with them.

After a long while, he suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist She, I wonder if your Beast Taming Sect has any Beast Taming techniques that can be passed on to outsiders?"
