Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 209 Tens of Thousands of Spiritual Stones
Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this, and slowly replied: "It's a long story..."

When Niu Dali saw him like this, his eyes turned slightly and he subconsciously made some guesses. He asked tentatively: "Did you run away to the neighboring country? Otherwise, why would you come out to see me so quickly..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he did not hide it deliberately. He nodded and told him about his experience on this trip.

After a moment, Niu Dali frowned slightly and his expression changed several times.

"I see... I was wondering why there have been so many monks from neighboring countries appearing in the surrounding markets these past few days, mentioning the Palace of Eternal Life."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his eyes flickering: "What's the situation now?"

On his way back, the news of the incident in Wangshan Market had spread throughout the Mu Kingdom's cultivation world. As a result, many low-level cultivators did not want to face the turmoil and went to neighboring countries.

He knew all this, but he was too busy returning to the mountain gate to find out more details, so he didn't have time to inquire.

"I also heard from Zou Yongyi and the other inner disciples... that the Mu Kingdom's cultivation world is now in a mess, with various factions entangled. Because of that organization you mentioned called the Palace of Eternal Life, they are currently in a dilemma."

"If we intervene, the lives of our own foundation-building cultivators will be in their hands. But if we let it go, the Mu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world will be split in two... So now, with no other choice, the Mu Kingdom's number one sect, Wanmu Qingshan, has come forward and promised the Eternal Life Palace a vast area. The Eternal Life Palace didn't dare to push them too far, so they agreed."

"However, I heard that both Wanmu Qingshan and the Palace of Eternal Life seem dissatisfied with the current stalemate, so they are taking advantage of this period to start making plans."

"The Mu Nation's cultivation world seems to be divided into two factions and has settled down, but no one knows if there will be another disturbance in the next moment..."

Niu Dali talked eloquently, recounting the rumors he had heard from others in a vivid manner, and at the end he shook his head and sighed.

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this. After a pause, he asked softly, "Have you heard any news about the Golden Core level?"

"No……"

Chen Mu nodded, a look of understanding flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Although there is no news of Jindan cultivators taking action, just based on the helpless actions of the Mu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world today, it can be seen that the Palace of Eternal Life must have made corresponding preparations.

After the two chatted for a while about the neighboring countries, Chen Mu used the excuse of healing his wounds to send Niu Dali away, who wanted to drink and have fun.

Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, Chen Mu continued to swallow healing pills and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, but his thoughts did not clear up.

"No matter how chaotic the outside world is, it doesn't mean much to me right now."

"As for the matter of the Flower Spirit Envoy on this trip... I have already returned to the mountain gate, so the Palace of Eternal Life shouldn't be able to track me down."

"For the rest of my time, I need to focus more on planning my foundation building. All other trivial matters should be put aside. Only by becoming a foundation building cultivator can I have some ability to protect myself when encountering such an unexpected event..."

……

Half a month later, in a quiet room.

The soft green swayed slowly, mixed with a lot of rising thin blood mist which gradually dissipated.

At this moment, Chen Mu's skin was as white as jade, his eyes were bright and sharp, and between his eyebrows, there was a subtle sense of ease.

It is obvious that his injury has healed and he has returned to normal.

A moment later, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed forward. A dark blue lightning that had shrunk several times hit the stone wall in front of him, causing ripples in the protective formation.

Although it is very small, its spiritual aura and momentum are slightly stronger than the normal water-colored dark thunder.

It was the low-level magic technique that Chen Mu had been practicing for a long time, Guishui Yinlei!

"Just a ray of lightning at the entry level is stronger than the water-colored dark thunder at the great perfection level. It is worthy of being a treasure technique..."

Chen Mu pondered, smacking his lips as he gazed at the lightning before him. This battle with the Flower Spirit Envoy was truly a blessing thanks to this magic. Without it, he feared he would have suffered more than just a few injuries...

Thinking of this, Chen Mu frowned and took out a storage bag with exquisite patterns.

"Flower Spirit Envoy..."

Strangely enough, the female cultivator he faced did not actually have the foundation-building cultivation level, but after a battle, he discovered that the female cultivator's magic power was extremely strong, far exceeding that of ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators, and even he felt ashamed of himself.

Not to mention the seven-foot-long banner that the female cultivator took out at the end, which almost helped her turn defeat into victory.

"Could it be that the inheritance of the Palace of Eternal Life is extraordinary?"

Chen Mu felt doubtful, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at the storage bag.

He used his spiritual sense to slowly explore inside, and the moment he entered, he was shocked by the extremely rich spiritual energy.

"This is……"

He saw a pile of low-grade spirit stones neatly arranged in the middle, like a small mountain. With just a quick glance, he knew that there were no less than 30,000 spirit stones in this pile!
Chen Mu's mind was horrified, and he quickly counted the number of spirit stones carefully.

"Thirty-four thousand..."

He muttered to himself and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It was unknown how long it took before Chen Mu regained his composure and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Looking at the spirit stone in front of him, he frowned slightly. The doubts in his heart did not dissipate, but became stronger.

"What is the identity of the Honorable Envoy? How could he possess so many Spiritual Stones?"

He was puzzled, so he turned his eyes away.

On the far right side of the spirit stone, dozens of gorgeous dresses and countless hairpins and jewelry are neatly displayed, which should be the daily attire of female cultivators.

Next to the dress, there were more than twenty pill bottles of various sizes.

Chen Mu's spiritual consciousness moved closer to check them one by one and found that most of them were ordinary elixirs that could improve cultivation, with only one type that he could not recognize.

With a thought, the bottle of elixir appeared in front of him.

In the transparent pill bottle that was as big as a belly, there was only a red pill the size of a baby's fist.

Chen Mu's eyes moved and he carefully opened a gap.

In an instant, a stream of extremely strong blood energy burst out from it, filling the quiet room at an incredible speed.

Seeing such a change, he subconsciously used his magic power and held his breath, and at the same time raised a protective shield to wrap him up.

But the blood seemed to have no obstacles. It suddenly broke through the magic shield and drilled into Chen Mu's body.

The next moment, Chen Mu felt his blood surging all over his body. The Dantian Spirit Pool, which had already reached its peak, actually began to tremble slightly, as if it had received help to take another step forward.

At the same time, a feeling of extreme desire suddenly emerged in his heart, urging him to swallow the red pill quickly so that he could step into the foundation-building stage in one fell swoop!
"wrong!"

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly focused his mind and forced himself to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

"I haven't passed the three levels of spirit, energy and spirit yet. The probability of building a foundation is less than one in ten or two at this moment. Why do I feel so anxious..."
