Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 278: Check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps
"The Hall of Eternal Life!"

Xiao Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood why the master of his sect used the sound transmission talisman. He probably was discussing how to provide support.

"If that's the case, I need to turn back as soon as possible..."

He pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Since Sect Leader Qin knows the whole story, I will not say any more... However, this matter is indeed the fault of our sect. Senior Brother Zhou sent me here to apologize. I hope my fellow Shuiyunjian people will not harbor any resentment."

After saying that, Xiao Jingyuan patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a small jade bottle with spring water flowing inside, which made everyone present feel excited.

"This is... the Fountain of Unity of Gods!"

Chen Mu raised one eyebrow slightly, and suddenly remembered the previous gambling battle among the six sects, and the Fountain of Unity that Jin Guanggu took out.

Shi Xin and Lin Shuyun were also moved and looked at the calm Sect Leader Qin in the middle.

When Chen Mu won the leadership of the inner sect of the six sects, the Fountain of Unity of Gods naturally fell into the hands of Sect Leader Qin.

Unfortunately, the amount was too little to support him in reaching the state of perfect foundation building. It could only be used to increase his spiritual awareness...

"Master Brother, if you can refine these divine springs, I wonder if you can have a breakthrough?" Shi Xin asked secretly without showing any expression on his face.

Sect Leader Qin confidently replied, "I've been stuck in the late stage of foundation building for a long time, and I'm just a hair's breadth away from a breakthrough. If I can get the help of this Spring of Divine Unity, success is almost certain, if not guaranteed!"

"So, the Sword Pavilion is indeed sincere..."

Sect Leader Qin nodded slightly, then turned to Xiao Jingyuan and said, "We are all cultivators from the same country, so why be so polite?"

Even so, he didn't slow down. After waving his hand to put away the Fountain of Unity, he continued, "Thank Sect Leader Zhou for me."

Xiao Jingyuan smiled slightly and bowed in response.

After a few more words, Xiao Jingyuan said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he still couldn't help but be obsessed with swordsmanship. He frowned and asked tentatively, "Master Qin, I wonder if your sect has any swordsmanship inheritance of treasure level?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sect Leader Qin, Shi Xin, and Lin Shuyun's eyes flashed. After a pause, they pursed their lips, raised their smiling faces, and nodded.

"Indeed, it exists. It's a pity that there are so few sword cultivators in our sect that it has been shelved and never displayed..."

"I see..." Xiao Jingyuan nodded after hearing this, looking rather disappointed, not knowing whether he believed it or not. He turned around and said goodbye and left.

"Junior Brother Niu, go see Fellow Daoist Xiao off."

"Yes!"

After the two of them left the hall, Sect Master Qin looked at Chen Mu and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Chen has made many contributions to our sect. I wonder what Junior Brother would like?"

Even if Chen Mu has already established his foundation, the ownership of the Heshen Spring will not change at all. After all, at this time in Shuiyunjian, only Sect Leader Qin is in the late stage of foundation building.

Although this item was obtained because of Chen Mu, it is impossible for the master to keep it until Chen Mu reaches the late stage of foundation building.

Fortunately, Sect Leader Qin was not the type to take advantage of others and he really wanted to compensate Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's heart moved quietly, and his thoughts were flying.

In reality, he wasn't lacking in resources for the time being. After all, he still had nearly 100,000 spirit stones, enough for him to reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and perhaps even beyond. Furthermore, he had recently acquired the intermediate-level spirit sword, Quexie, which had already exceeded his expectations. If he had to point out a flaw, it would be the single nature of the spirit weapon.

He only attacks but has no defense. He is not a true swordsman, so he shouldn't...

As for his magic… He also used his full attack power, including the mid-level treasure technique Guishui Yinlei, the mid-level treasure technique Nongyu Jingtao Yujian, the mid-level treasure technique Zhishui Yulian Assault Killing, and the low-level treasure technique Chongxu Huashan Yin…

Various spells are sufficient to deal with most situations, except for the defensive spells and escape spells which have some omissions.

This was also due to Chen Mu's experience along the way. Most battles were about attacking each other. If Chen Mu could defeat the opponent's magic, he would win. If he was defeated by the opponent's magic...

Chen Mu had never encountered such a situation. After all, he had the help of the mysterious water lotus, and his talent in magic was abnormal. It was only said that he was ahead of others, and no one had ever seen anyone surpass him in magic.

However, when he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, the enemies he encountered might very well be old monsters who had practiced for over a hundred years and whose skills might not be inferior to his. Therefore, the previous offensive counterattack was a bit too risky...

I have this opportunity today, so I might as well fill in all these gaps...

Chen Mu's eyes flickered. Sect Leader Qin and Lin Shuyun were quite understanding and did not disturb him. Instead, they quietly gathered aside to discuss the matter of the Hall of Eternal Life.

A moment later, Niu Dali returned to the hall and joined the discussion.

After a while, Chen Mu finally regained his composure. Sect Master Qin, who had been paying attention to him, smiled slightly and asked, "Martial Brother Chen, have you decided what you need?"

Chen Mu nodded and said calmly, "I have been practicing till now, but I suddenly feel that there is still something missing in my life-saving method..."

When these words were spoken, the three people at the top did not show any surprise, but instead nodded in agreement.

When they reach this level, they know the hardships themselves. If they still hold on to the aspirations of the great way, they need to be cautious and careful with every step. Wouldn't it be a pity to lose their lives on the road due to carelessness?
"Nephew Chen, please tell me everything you want. I will not hesitate to share my secrets with you!"

Chen Mu was delighted to receive such a promise and nodded, saying, "Disciple needs a defensive spiritual weapon and a treasure-grade defensive or escaping technique."

In his opinion, a defensive spiritual weapon plus an escape technique would be the most suitable, but good escape techniques were very rare. He estimated that even the mountain gate would not have too many types, so he had to compromise.

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Qin nodded and said, "Junior Brother Chen, your thoughts are sound. Preserving one's life is extremely important, especially in the coming period..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes flickered and he sighed meaningfully.

A moment later, Sect Master Qin summoned a deacon disciple with his divine sense, handed him a water-cloud token, and instructed, "Go to the Dharma Pavilion and get it..."

The deacon disciple took the order and left. Lin Shuyun then sighed softly, "Chen Mu has only been building his foundation for a short time, and Junior Brother Niu has also succeeded. If it weren't for this incident at the Eternal Life Palace, Shuiyunjian would be in great shape!"

"If we continue to cultivate peacefully for a few more decades, we will surely be able to compete for the title of the second-largest sect! What a pity, what a pity..."

Hearing this, Sect Leader Qin nodded slowly, and it seemed that he agreed with what Lin Shuyun said.

Shi Xin smiled heartily, shook his head and said, "Junior Sister Lin, you are wrong. Just practice peacefully. Even if we wait until our time is up, our sect may not surpass Zifenglin. On the contrary, this chaotic environment may allow us to stand out!"

Lin Shuyun frowned slightly, curled her lips, and said angrily, "Brother Shi, you still have such a desire to fight. Isn't it better to practice peacefully?"

Shi Xin laughed and didn't argue with her.
