Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 161: Transferring to Cultivation Techniques
Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this, and he began to consider how to politely refuse.

He wasn't even willing to waste a few days waiting for this reward, so how could he be willing to waste time attending a banquet...

Perhaps sensing his reluctance, Zhu Yuelian's eyes flickered as she pleaded, "Brother, this banquet isn't just for people we know, there are also many fellow brothers and sisters. I've even invited a few exceptionally talented fellow brothers and sisters. Among them is Junior Sister Ye Ning, isn't she from the same hometown as you?"

"Oh?" Chen Mu raised one eyebrow, and Ye Ning's cold appearance appeared in his mind.

After a moment, he still shook his head and said softly, "Junior Sister Zhu, I am very grateful for your invitation. However, I am devoted to cultivation and I am afraid that I will disappoint you."

He could roughly guess what Zhu Yuelian meant. It was simply to make friends with outstanding disciples by hosting a banquet.

"In that case..." Zhu Yuelian smiled and shook her head with a hint of disappointment, saying, "Then I won't force you, Senior Brother. I hope that during this retreat, you can achieve your goals."

Chen Mu nodded, bowed, and turned away without stopping.

……

An hour later, Chen Mu sat cross-legged in Tinghai Pavilion with several bottles of pills placed in front of him.

This was what he had just exchanged with Wei Xingyou at Danhen Land for the purpose of cultivation.

"call!"

He let out a long breath, suddenly waved his sleeve to put away the pill, and then took out a thin book full of water.

"Water source pours in..."

Although I don't know the grade, but since it was sent by a Jindan cultivator from the Central Plains of China, it cannot be an ordinary method.

Chen Mu's heart moved and he started to read it immediately.

There are thousands of words written in a flowing style, and each page is also covered with the symbol of origin that is full of Taoist charm.

“It’s actually the original one!”

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise.

"I originally thought it was a transcript...Senior Ziyang is really generous!"

Kung Fu techniques like this one with origin runes are often original.

Although the content is generally the same, its value is far higher than that of a manuscript.

It's because that origin rune can help practitioners more easily comprehend the true meaning of the technique...

Chen Mu thought about it and said, "Indeed, this foundation-building technique is extremely precious in my eyes, but for a Jindan cultivator, it's probably not as important as his state of mind."

He shook his head and smiled, suppressed the mixed thoughts in his mind, and began to concentrate on reading the martial arts techniques.

It took him two full days to finally memorize every detail of the water source.

The memory of cultivators is already enhanced. For someone like Chen Mu who is about to reach the level of spiritual consciousness, it still takes two days. This shows how much knowledge is hidden in the water source.

"let's start……"

Chen Mu waved his hand, and an emerald green jade bottle appeared beside him.

He then stretched out his hand and the cork opened with a "pop", and rich spiritual energy spread out.

Chen Mu did not stop and immediately opened his mouth to suck.

Suddenly, several emerald green spiritual rays rushed out from the bottle and entered Chen Mu's mouth. Once they entered his mouth, they quickly turned into a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, continuously flowing into his dantian.

The reason why he hadn't started to change his cultivation method for a long time was because changing cultivation method was not an easy task.

If one wants to change his cultivation, he must first disperse his previous magical power, and then he can use the new technique to restore his magical power to its original level.

During this period, due to the sudden drop in realm, the monks' combat effectiveness can no longer be maintained, and they are very likely to be in danger.

That's why Chen Mu wanted to switch to a new profession in one go to avoid any troubles that could not be solved.

"San Gong!"

Chen Mu looked at the roaring waves in the spirit pool and hardened his heart.

"Crash..."

The spiritual liquid in the pool seemed to wail and began to gradually dissipate.

Chen Mu blocked the spiritual energy transformed by the elixir, temporarily eliminating the chance of regeneration of the spiritual liquid.

As the spiritual liquid continued to decrease, the realm fluctuations surging in Chen Mu's body also slowly weakened.

"Ninth level of Qi Condensation."

"Seventh level of Qi Condensation."

"Fifth level of Qi Condensation..."

After a moment, there was no trace of magic power left in his dantian except the spiritual energy transformed from the elixir.

Chen Mu raised his right hand, clenched it slightly, and felt the mundane feeling.

"It only took a moment to descend into the mundane realm."

"But it took me sixteen years to reach the tenth level of Qi Condensation..." He shook his head and smiled, thinking to himself, "It's a good thing I didn't truly become a mortal!"

Although the spiritual liquid is gone, the spiritual pool is still there. As long as the pills keep up, I can return to the tenth level of Qi Condensation within a month!

"Come!"

Chen Mu closed his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness suddenly came to his dantian.

The next moment, the rich spiritual energy transformed from the elixir quickly rushed towards the mysterious water lotus.

I saw the water lotus swaying gently, accepting all the spiritual energy in the sky.

Not long after, it trembled suddenly and spat out a ball of water-blue spiritual liquid, which slowly floated onto the spiritual pool.

Chen Mu was delighted when he saw this, and immediately used the "Water Source Note" method.

"Rumble..."

An inexplicable thunder woke everyone up and shattered the ball of spiritual liquid suspended above.

"Tick tock..."

The spiritual liquid turned into rain, and the water turned into threads, dripping into the dried-up spiritual pool.

Chen Mu kept moving, and while the spiritual liquid was still not much, his spiritual consciousness suddenly moved.

With a "plop" sound, a hole suddenly appeared in the depths of the spirit pool, and new spirit liquid continued to gush out from it.

This hole is the source of "Water Source Note"!
"It's done!"

Chen Mu nodded slightly, without stopping his actions, and continued to drive the spiritual energy towards the water lotus, so that it could be transformed into spiritual liquid to fill the spiritual pool.

Three days later, the spiritual energy of the elixir in his dantian was used up. He immediately waved his hand and took out another bottle of elixir to replenish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

……

"Boom!"

The magic power pool in the Dantian is slowly rotating, and the spiritual liquid is rotating very slowly, but the closer it gets to the bottom, the faster it rotates.

Especially the source at the deepest part of the entire magic power pool, the vortex there is extremely strong.

And as the amount of "Spirit Liquid Pool Water" grows larger and larger, the power of the vortex here is also constantly increasing.

The source is even deeper.

Mana becomes more and more pure!
……

I do not know how long it has been.

"The tenth level of Qi Condensation."

Chen Mu's mind moved, feeling the huge power that he had lost and regained.

In the vast Dantian space, the mighty spirit pool was still slowly expanding, and it was expanding on its own, without Chen Mu driving it at all.

Although the speed was very slow, this strange change was something he had never heard of before.

"It seems that this 'Water Source Note' is even more beyond my expectations..."

Chen Mu nodded slowly, secretly amazed.

"According to what Senior Zi Yang said, a technique with this kind of efficacy wouldn't even be considered by the major sects in the Middle Earth."

"I wonder what kind of skills the disciples of that great sect practice."

In the Tinghai Pavilion, rays of bright moonlight shine in.

Chen Mu, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and saw several emerald green bottles scattered on the ground in front of him.

He calculated with his fingers and thought to himself, "It's really going to take more than a month... If I want to continue to break through to the eleventh level, I don't have enough pills."

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and pushed the door open and walked out.

Under the moonlight, a storage bag hung in front of the door, flickering with a faint light from time to time.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, immediately extended his hand to call him back, and returned to the pavilion.

This was a reward from the sect that Taoist Zhang had sent his servant disciple some time ago. However, he was busy practicing his martial arts at the time and did not stand up to receive it. He just let the servant disciple place it in front of the door.

After sitting cross-legged again, he looked intently at the storage bag.

"One hundred mid-grade spirit stones, some medicinal pills, and a magical weapon..."

"It's not even as much as the Beast Taming Sect gave me." He shook his head and complained, took out a pill, and then put the rest of the things into the storage bag.

Through the window lattice, Chen Mu looked up into the distance, gazing at the cool and bright moon in the sky.

After a moment, he suddenly swallowed the pill and immersed himself in cultivation...
