Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 29 Return to the Mountain Gate (Please recommend and collect)
Chen Mu and the other man called him uncle and exchanged a few words.

Father Du's face lit up with joy upon seeing this, and he said contentedly, "Let the two nephews chat with Xiao Kui and Xiao Shuang. I'll go downstairs and prepare the banquet..."

Several people bowed and saw him off.

After the people left, Niu Dali said jokingly: "Your father is quite interesting..."

Xiao Kui curled his lips and did not refute.

"I haven't seen you for two years. Your brothers' cultivation has become more advanced. When I saw you just now, the spiritual energy on your body seemed to cover your aura like fog..." Xiao Shuang said softly.

Chen Mu took over and said slowly: "The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. If you don't give your all, how can you appreciate the flowers of the future... Xiao Shuang should also understand this principle. I see that you have already reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation."

After saying this, he looked at the dejected Xiao Kui beside him and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Your cultivation hasn't improved at all."

"I... am busy with worldly affairs..." Xiao Kui explained in a low voice.

Niu Dali glared at him and said, "That's a bunch of lies! Most of the towns in Qinghe Prefecture are ordinary towns, governed by mortal officials. Why would they need cultivators to run around like that?"

Xiao Kui's eyes turned, and he smiled and changed the subject: "Don't talk about me, I can't tell what realm the two brothers are in now..."

"I, your elder brother, am now a high-level cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Condensation. Even your brother Chen has reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation... How is it?" Niu Dali said with a proud voice without asking any further questions after hearing this.

"Compared to the two of you, I think Brother Chen is the truly amazing one. He has the same talent as Xiaoshuang and me, but he keeps moving forward and making progress..."

Niu Dali exclaimed, "I have something even more powerful... Look, I'll fly one for you!"

After saying this, he summoned the Mountain Shaker Hammer, cast the Wind Walk spell, and flew out, shuttling back and forth in the air above the courtyard...

This caused Chen Mu and the other two to burst into laughter.

All the servants and maids in the courtyard who saw this scene turned pale, knelt on the ground in panic, and muttered words like "immortal".

It was almost noon, and Chen Mu and his friend could not refuse the hospitality. After sitting down to enjoy the banquet, they took out a magic weapon that had been prepared long ago and gave it to Xiao Kui and his friend as a wedding gift.

A golden incense burner with a Chi beast, with just a little magic power, can emit smoke, gather spiritual energy, and calm the mind...

This will also help Xiao Kui and Xiao Shuang, who have been in the mundane world for a long time, to have fewer distractions and cultivate faster...

After a day of chatting, we will eventually say goodbye.

After Chen Mu and the other man said goodbye, they returned to the mountain gate without stopping.

When passing by the Dharma Pavilion, Chen Mu said to Niu Dali, "Brother, please go back first. I'm going to learn a few spells."

As the direct disciple of the master of Dutian Peak, Niu Dali naturally had no shortage of magic skills to learn, so he nodded and left.

Chen Mu also turned around and walked slowly a few steps into the Dharma Transmission Pavilion.

At a glance, he saw Senior Brother Sun Wude sitting bored in the pavilion. As all the outer disciples were either promoted to inner disciples or became menial disciples, there were not so many people coming to the Dharma Pavilion for a while.

"Senior Brother Sun." Chen Mu called out.

Sun Wude looked up when he heard this, and his old face suddenly smiled. He said, "Junior Brother Chen, you haven't been here for a long time."

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Senior Brother Sun is still as elegant as ever..."

He had already reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation, but he still couldn't see through Sun Wood's level of cultivation. If he hadn't practiced the secret art of hiding the soul or possessed a rare treasure, then his cultivation level must be far higher than his.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you here to look up classics or to learn magic?" Sun Wude asked with a laugh.

Chen Mu said softly, "I came here this time for magic. One is the mid-level spell Wind Walker, and the other is to find a spell to hide the spirit. I'd like to trouble Senior Brother Sun to teach me..."

Next, he prepared to go to the Black Lake Mountains to hunt monsters and practice the Water Technique. However, the Black Lake Mountains were fraught with danger. First, he needed a method to conceal his spiritual power fluctuations and aura. Secondly, he also needed to prepare the Wind Movement Technique. If he encountered some powerful monsters, he could use the explosive speed of this technique to escape...

"Okay, okay. Please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away!" Sun Wude's eyes lit up and he spoke at an incredibly fast speed.

Soon, Sun Wude handed two jade slips with the transcribed text to Chen Mu. "Junior Brother Chen, as you requested, to conceal your aura, I've got the best intermediate-level spell in the pavilion, the Spirit Turtle Hidden Breath Technique."

"Although the name doesn't sound very nice, this spell was created by our sect's third ancestor when he observed a great golden elixir demon displaying his innate magical powers. Although it's just a casual creation, it's more than enough for you, Junior Brother."

"Once you use it, it has many wonderful uses, all of which are recorded on the jade slips. The most important thing is to conceal your aura. As long as the opponent's cultivation level is not much higher than yours, I guarantee that they will not be able to detect you!"

Sun Wood returned to his old profession and introduced it in a vivid and colorful manner.

As Chen Mu listened, he looked intently at the jade slip in his hand and nodded continuously.

"As for... the Wind Walking Technique..." Sun Wood hesitated and said, "Junior Brother Chen, do you know that this Wind Walking Technique requires a magical instrument as a medium? Otherwise, it's just a spell that makes you run a little faster, just like using your magic power to make you lighter."

Chen Mu nodded immediately and said, "Of course I know this."

Not only did he know this, he was also planning to go back and take a month to draw talismans in exchange for spirit stones to buy magic tools.

Sun Wude's smile returned and he said, "That's good. Junior Brother Chen is truly a promising young man. Not only has his cultivation progress not fallen behind, he also possesses a magical weapon."

Chen Mu's expression changed, and he said, "Brother Sun thinks too highly of me. I can't even take care of everything during my normal cultivation... That magical weapon... was given to me by Brother Niu Dali."

He couldn't let Sun Wood know that he had plenty of spirit stones, otherwise he would ask for an exorbitant price.

Sun Wude looked regretful and replied, "Junior Brother Niu is very generous, but he has never come to the Dharma Transmission Pavilion to study..."

"Senior Brother Sun, I wonder how many spirit stones these two spells require?" Chen Mu interrupted.

"Junior Brother Chen is also an old acquaintance... Twenty spirit stones, please!"

Chen Mu thought for a moment and agreed.

It wasn't much, just two more spirit stones for each spell than last time, which was much cheaper than buying it outside...but the sect also had a rule long ago that as the disciple's realm improved, the cheaper spirit stones would become less.

Of course, if you want to be clever and exchange spells in advance, the sect does not prohibit this behavior. As long as you can squeeze out spirit stones in exchange for spells during the early stages of cultivation...

Chen Mu put away the jade slip, said a few words of goodbye to Sun Wude, and then bowed and left.

Inside the pavilion, Sun Wude looked at Chen Mu's receding back and smiled slightly.

"That's quite interesting... When did someone with low-grade spiritual roots become so successful in cultivation? I heard from Taoist Master Zhang that he also has a great talent for magic... Could he be some kind of rare spiritual being..."

Crossing the sea cliff.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the sea-viewing platform with his eyes slightly closed.

At this moment, he was writing the patterns of the Spirit Turtle's Breath Concealment Technique and the Wind-Walking Technique on the water lotus in his dantian.

Since he entered Taoism, including the two spells today, he has learned a total of nine spells, including four low-level spells, four mid-level spells, and one high-level spell.

The low-level spells have all been perfected, and the two mid-level spells that I learned early on have also been perfected. If it weren't for the lack of practice in the past few years since I entered the inner sect, I'm afraid I would have been able to reach perfection...

"As for the high-level spell, Water Magic... I really need to plan it carefully. What kind of characteristics I add to it will probably determine my future fighting style..."

After the seal script was written, Chen Mu got up and returned to the house.

Take out the purple bamboo talisman pen and arrange the talisman-making tools.

"call!"

Chen Mu let out a long breath and lowered his head to concentrate on drawing the talisman.

"For the sake of the magical weapon..."
