Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 20: Hard Training on the Cliff
"So it's him. I was wondering why his name seemed familiar..."

"Who is it? I just came out of seclusion. Tell me..."

"As an outer disciple, he killed two inner disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect..."

Chen Mu turned his head to look at Han Jing and nodded slightly in thanks.

Han Jing blinked and smiled.

Xu Yang had a blank expression on his face, and nodded gently, saying, "That's right, Junior Brother Chen, you have made great contributions, and the Yiyang Pill is what you deserve."

After saying that, he flicked his hand and a Yiyang Pill flew towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu took it and put it into his storage bag. He bowed towards Tianhu Lake and said, "Thank you, Peak Master..."

Seeing this scene, Xu Yang's face became even colder.

Han Jing looked at Chen Mu and chuckled, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen, for obtaining this elixir. Take it and practice cultivation as soon as you return... Lin Xuanming and Xu Yang from Dutian Peak are both from the same generation of Immortal Seedlings as me, and we have a good relationship..."

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had set a trap for himself without even meeting him...

Without showing it on his face, he bowed and thanked Senior Sister Han Jing.

Looking back at the platform, I found that Xu Yang had already gone down. He had a Yiyang Pill, and the other disciples were fighting for the last one...

With Chen Mu's level of cultivation, he naturally couldn't compete with her from afar. Senior Sister Han Jing beside him jumped up backwards. She was also a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.

He was not surprised. Not to mention that Han Jing was from the same generation of immortal seedlings as Lin Xuanming, Xu Yang and others, just seeing that she was serving behind the master of Tianhu Peak at that time, he knew that she must have good talent.

However, Han Jing still failed to win the fight. The last Yiyang Pill was snatched away by a green-robed male cultivator who looked to be in his thirties and was at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. He waited for a full hour and determined that it was his.

By this time, the Tianhu Summit had come to an end. What remained were some personal activities, such as selling unused spiritual materials in the square, or meeting up with a few friends to drink tea and wine at their homes, discussing immortals and praising the way, to relieve the boredom of three months of cultivation...

After Chen Mu said goodbye to Senior Sister Han Jing, he returned to Duhai Cliff without stopping.

Entered Tinghai Pavilion and sat cross-legged.

He took out the biggest gain of this trip, Yiyang Pill.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is his biggest gain, although a Yiyang Pill generally costs about fifty spirit stones.

But it cannot be measured with spirit stones, because things like elixirs are generally out of stock and there is no channel to buy them, so you can't buy them even if you want to.

What's more, this Yiyang Pill is a fine medicine made by a second-level alchemist...

He took the Yiyang Pill and looked at it for a moment, then immediately tilted his head back and swallowed it.

The moment it enters your mouth, your mouth will be filled with fragrance, as if you have swallowed a grain of fire, warm and spicy but not scorching.

What followed was the rich spiritual power of heaven and earth, which seemed to appear out of thin air and poured into the dantian.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."

Drops of spiritual liquid were generated and fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Mu did not dare to be careless and carefully controlled his spiritual power.

What he didn't know was that most cultivators who swallowed pills would, to a greater or lesser extent, waste a lot of spiritual energy due to the slow speed of converting spiritual energy into mana. However, in his dantian, there was a water lotus to help with the conversion, and it was directly converted into spiritual liquid. It could be said that not a single spiritual energy was wasted, and he absorbed it all...

This also resulted in the pill refining speed not being as fast as he had imagined...

three days later.

Chen Mu looked at the pill that was about to disappear in his dantian, and a feeling of joy surged in his heart.

The efficacy of the elixir far exceeded his expectations.

As the pill disappeared, the originally distinct drops of spiritual fluid in the dantian suddenly began to fly towards each other and merge.

After a moment, more than two hundred drops of spiritual liquid condensed together, turning into a small ball of spiritual water, slowly flowing to the bottom of the water lotus, gradually forming a small pool.

There is a thin layer of water curtain above the small pool...

After the pool was formed, a powerful wave of spiritual energy suddenly rushed out from the body.

If there were someone around him at this moment, they would be able to see that the originally invisible spiritual power was now taking the shape of ripples on water, gradually expanding outwards.

The doors and windows of the Tinghai Pavilion creaked...

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes and a happy smile appeared on his face.

The fifth level of Qi Condensation! It had been less than four months since he broke through the fourth level of Qi Condensation, and now he had actually reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

"Yiyang Pill is indeed worthy of being a first-grade, superior elixir. I originally thought it would be good enough to save a year of hard training, but who knew I would break through directly!"

"It could also be because this is my first time taking this type of medicine. It might not be as effective in the future."

"Otherwise, if I take drugs every day, I can become an immortal..."

But in general, a good pill can indeed save a lot of hard work and time.

"We'll need to get more of these pills in the future."

"I wonder how Niu Dali will react when he sees that I have reached his level." Chen Mu thought with a young mind.

After spending several days consolidating the state.

Chen Mu regained his composure and stood up.

Came to the sea-viewing platform and sat down.

After a tense practice, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance can help to relieve the tension.

This is his way of relaxing.

When he looked out at the sea from Tianhu Peak, the moment he saw it, he knew that he loved the sea very much.

For this reason, he even looked up the records in the sect, and found the name of the sea in front of the Crossing Sea Cliff...

East China Sea.

An extremely simple name, simply because it is located on the east side of the entire sea area.

According to the records of the sect, the sea area in front is extremely vast. There was once a cultivator from the State of Zhao who crossed the ocean and wanted to take a look at the other side of the sea.

After several decades, he finally returned. He told him that there were many islands in the sea, but he had never seen a single continent like the one where the State of Zhao was located...

Moreover, that person also spread a piece of news, which made the monks at that time go out to sea to seek opportunities.

Deep in the East China Sea, there is a Dragon Palace...

Unfortunately, no one could find it, but instead encountered many sea monsters and lost their lives.

"I wonder how magnificent the sea is..."

"Dragon Palace... I'd like to see it too."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu turned around and went back to the pavilion.

If you want to do what you want without any constraints, you must first have the strength to match it.

Now... he's still far from it.

"Intensify... your practice!"

……

one year later.

The red sun rises from the sea, casting a shadow of autumn light.

Chen Mu finished his training, his eyes showing neither joy nor sadness.

Over the past year, he had the spirit stones obtained from the Tianhu Summit delivered to him by servants, and twice Senior Sister Han Jing personally delivered them to him.

Niu Dali also came once, looking for him to drink and enjoy the scenery, but found that his cultivation level had caught up with his own. He immediately threw away the wine jug, turned around and went back to the peak to practice.

Apart from taking time to draw some Fu Bo Water-Guiding Talismans in exchange for elixirs for cultivation, he spent the rest of his time not going anywhere but practicing hard at Du Hai Cliff.

The result was worthy of his hard work. The spiritual liquid accumulated in the small pool in his dantian increased a little.

If today was not the day when Du Xiaokui and Xiaoshuang were going down the mountain, he would not have planned to go down the cliff.

All in all, this is more than the sixth year since he started practicing. He has an endless supply of spirit stones and elixirs. He has reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation, surpassing people like Lin Xuanzhu and Zhu Yuelian who have medium-grade spirit roots.

"Once I reach the sixth level of Qi Condensation, I'll need to find some spells to boost my combat power and try to snatch some high-quality elixirs at the Tianhu Summit!"

As for now, Chen Mu stood up and slowly walked down the mountain.
