Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 162: Hard Training in a Quiet Room
The next day, in Tinghai Pavilion.

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, an unconcealable joy appearing on his face.

"This 'Water Source Infusion' can actually speed up the process of refining pills..."

However, he practiced overnight and consumed most of the energy required to refine the elixir, which would have taken three days to refine. Observing his speed, he estimated that it would take another half a day to completely devour the elixir and transform it into his own magic power.

"According to this calculation, as long as I continue to make pills, I estimate that it will not take more than three years for me to break through to the eleventh level of Qi Condensation!"

Chen Mu silently felt the spiritual energy in his dantian and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Each advancement after the ninth level is extremely difficult compared to usual. Chen Mu originally planned to persevere and succeed even if it took several years.

But who would have thought that after one night, the situation suddenly became simple. All he had to do was prepare some pills and practice some exercises to save a lot of energy.

"In that case, go and exchange for enough medicinal pills and practice well for a while..."

Chen Mu made up his mind and stood up immediately.

After tidying up, he took off and flew towards the sect's Danhen area.

But he was so excited that he didn't even want to waste time walking, so he used the Wind Speed ​​Technique to hurry on his way.

A moment later, Chen Mu landed beside the crack where the flames flickered, and walked towards Wei Xingyou's alchemy room with ease.

He has been here no less than ten times, and all the elixirs for the late stage of Qi Condensation were made by Wei Xingyou alone.

"Last month, when I came to buy elixirs for my transformation cultivation method, I specifically asked him to prepare some Xuanyuan Pills for me. I don't know if he has refined them yet."

Chen Mu thought to himself, without stopping, and soon he walked through the long corridor.

Looking at the protective formation floating on the surface, he stretched out his hand and released a stream of magic power.

"Boom!"

When the two came into contact, the shield rippled gently and slowly like water.

Within three breaths, Chen Mu heard a shout and the shield disappeared.

"Uncle Chen!"

Yao Tongting'er has grown into an adult, but he still shouts with joy on his childish face.

"Yeah." Chen Mu nodded with a smile, waved his hand and a ray of spiritual light shot out and threw it towards him.

The spiritual light dissipated, revealing an exquisite low-grade magical weapon.

Ting'er's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the magic weapon, looking it over in his hands. He didn't forget to thank Chen Mu: "Thank you, uncle-master. I didn't expect that you would remember my laughter in your heart..."

However, the last time Chen Mu came, he tried to be clever and asked Chen Mu for a gift, for which Wei Xingyou scolded him, saying that he didn't know etiquette. But Chen Mu didn't say anything at that time, but he really brought it this time.

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said, "As long as you like it."

This low-grade magic weapon was a trophy he had accumulated. No one knew which opponent it came from, so he just happened to be doing him a favor this time.

Although Ting'er was just a medicine boy, after observing him for several years, it was obvious that he held an important position in Wei Xingyou's place and was treated almost like a son or nephew.

Wei Xingyou's status in the sect is becoming more and more prominent. With only a small price to pay, he can deepen the relationship between the two. Why not do it?
After all, he had been reminded by Lin Shuyun that Wei Xingyou's Alchemist realm had already reached the peak of the first level, and that he had even been taken by Alchemist Chu to participate in the refining of the second-level elixir, the Foundation Establishment Pill. Such an opportunity was not available to everyone. This showed that Alchemist Chu was training Wei Xingyou as a successor disciple...

Just as he was lost in thought, Wei Xingyou, dressed in a white robe, stopped moving, turned around and said with a smile, "Since Junior Brother Chen is spending so much, I think I'll have to give you a bigger discount."

Chen Mu chuckled and waved his hand casually: "No need, whatever the amount is."

"Hahaha..." Wei Xingyou kept moving, took out more than ten bottles of pills, handed them to Chen Mu, and said: "It seems that Junior Brother has received a lot of rewards. In this case, I will remember Junior Brother's kindness."

"There are thirteen bottles of Xuanyuan Pills here, each with five pills. They are all of the first-grade, top-grade quality. They are enough for Junior Brother to break through to the eleventh level, and there will even be some left over."

After Chen Mu accepted them one by one, he took out three small brown-yellow bottles: "As for the Barrier Breaking Pills, I followed my junior brother's requirements. The grade is not very high..."

Chen Mu was delighted in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. For the Barrier Breaking Pill, ordinary cultivators would naturally hope for the stronger effect, but he had the spiritual liquid to polish the bottleneck, and he did not need so much barrier breaking power, so he only needed some as an introduction.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wei. I wonder how many spirit stones these pills cost?"

Wei Xingyou pondered over this and said softly, "Xuanyuan Pills are quite expensive, but Pozhan Pills won't cost too much... Junior Brother, please give me three thousand spirit stones in total."

Chen Mu nodded and thought to himself, "The Xuanyuan Pills I refined here before were priced at fifty spirit stones each. So, by this calculation, I'm still getting a bargain out of the three thousand spirit stones. I'm afraid the Barrier Breaking Pills aren't included."

Fifty-one Xuanyuan Pills are only sold at this price in the sect. If they were put on an auction outside, one would cost one hundred spirit stones, and there would be many cultivators rushing to buy them.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu readily took out three hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

Now that he had obtained the elixir, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he chatted briefly for a few minutes and then said goodbye and left.

On the way back, he kept thinking about it.

"Wei Xingyou is incredibly talented. He might even have the chance to advance to the second-level alchemist... When I pursue foundation building in the future, perhaps I can learn from him."

……

Without stopping along the way, they returned to the sea crossing cliff after a while.

After entering the pavilion, Chen Mu raised his alarm and protection, and began his hard training life for the umpteenth time.

This time, he focused on the realm of his skills, and only after he became tired of his progress did he take time out to hone his spells.

The pills are constantly produced and the skills are helpful.

Only half a year had passed, and he had already sensed that his level of improvement was far higher than when he had previously practiced the "Timely Rain Technique".

After sighing for a while, his desire to practice became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help falling into a state of madness, as if he couldn't stop until he reached the target realm.

It was not until later that he realized that this state was called the barrier between knowledge and action, which many monks had encountered. It was caused by sudden changes in mood and understanding during practice.

If one fails to make the right adjustments, one will fall into a state of obsession. If one fails to reach the goal, one will no longer be able to tolerate anything else...

Fortunately, Chen Mu had a strong consciousness and realized that something was wrong with him after a few days. He stopped and practiced his magic for a while before he regained his normal state of mind.

During this period of time, while Chen Mu was practicing hard alone, Niu Dali, Han Jing and other cultivators who returned from the Beast Taming Sect also seized these hard-earned resources and went into seclusion to digest them.

So, for a while, with the exception of Ye Ning's Immortal Seedling disciples who had recently become increasingly prominent, Shuiyunjian suddenly fell into silence...
