Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 296 Changes in Situation

"Xuyang Pill requires two Sanyang Grasses, one Kongling Flower, and some Yanming Fruits..."

Chen Mu secretly calculated for a moment, waved his hand and put all the necessary spiritual medicines aside, then sent out a trace of magic power to roll up several red spiritual fruits and threw them into the buzzing alchemy furnace.

It was his first time trying to refine a second-level elixir, so he didn't dare to be careless. He immediately pressed his spiritual sense into it, controlling the changes in the temperature with all his heart and soul.

Without the guidance of a master of alchemy, he could only follow the recorded steps in the alchemy tradition step by step...

In a moment, the red spiritual fruit began to make a "tapping" sound, and drops of spiritual liquid flowed out of it and gathered into a ball.

Seeing this, Chen Mu quickly picked up the ethereal flower beside him with one hand, and it immediately flew up and rushed straight into the alchemy furnace.

"call!"

Perhaps it was the disturbance in the divine consciousness that gave the tightly suppressed earth fire a chance to catch up. The fire suddenly increased, immediately devouring the ethereal flower that had just entered the furnace, and turning it into waste.

Chen Mu frowned slightly, and after careful consideration, he cut off all distracting thoughts and resumed refining...

……

Day and night cycled continuously, and every once in a while, a golden line would rise from Yuehua Mountain into the sky, then patrol along the border of Zhao State.

Sometimes it takes five days to turn around, and sometimes it takes seven or eight days.

Just like that, half a year passed in a flash...

"Bang bang bang!"

Listening to the gushing force of the elixir hitting the top of the alchemy furnace, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged as he carefully calculated the time.

Half a minute later, his eyes flashed, and he immediately waved his hand and patted the alchemy furnace in front of him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

More than ten crimson rays of light shot out in succession. Just as they were about to hit the dome of the cave, a crystal jade bottle suddenly appeared in front of them and caught all the crimson rays of light with incredible precision.

Seeing this, Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, then reached out to recall the jade bottle.

"Seventeen pills were made, thirteen of which were four-patterned pills, two were five-patterned pills, and only two three-patterned pills were useless..."

He was quite satisfied with this.

It only took him half a year to go from having a furnace full of one or two-patterned pills to having four or even five-patterned pills now.

What's more, during this period, he often went out for inspections. Excluding the time for daily practice, the total time he spent on refining pills was only three months.

"Could it be that I was wrong before? Am I still a genius in alchemy?"

Chen Mu complained inwardly and put the Xuyang Pill away with a smile.

At present, he has refined nearly a hundred Xuyang Pills, which is enough for him to practice for a period of time, so this pill refining can come to an end.

"If I didn't need to go out so often, I might have already refined the Six-Pattern Pill..."

Quietly thinking of the disaster that happened to the State of Zhao, his expression gradually became solemn.

Over the past six months, battles have occurred frequently in various places, but most of them are small-scale fights, often involving only a few foundation-building warriors.

He often patrolled and encountered many such battles, which he easily resolved.

Because of this, his reputation among cultivators from many countries gradually grew. Most people knew that the State of Zhao had a Foundation Establishment cultivator proficient in thunder magic and swordsmanship. He was quite powerful and had once single-handedly killed three evil cultivators from the Hall of Eternal Life...

At the beginning, he was happy to see this stalemate. After all, he could practice in peace and hone his skills against the evil cultivators from time to time.

However, during his recent patrols, he discovered that the enemy's foundation-building combat power was gradually increasing, especially the foundation-building cultivators from the mysterious forces. Often, one more person could tie up two or even three of his own foundation-building cultivators.

This situation clearly shows that the forces behind the Palace of Eternal Life do not want to delay any longer and will launch a large-scale attack at any time. The situation is not optimistic...

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled.

Even he could see the situation here, so the heads of various sects and the Jindan ancestors must have known about it as well.

Since there were no other arrangements, he didn't need to worry too much...

He returned to the quiet room, swallowed the pill and sat cross-legged.

In the past six months, in addition to the continuous improvement in alchemy and cultivation, there have also been unexpected surprises in the art of magic.

After several battles, the Chongxu Huashan Seal, which had been practiced for a short time, entered the realm of minor success, and the Guishui Yinlei had been in the realm of major success for a long time!
As for the sword-controlling technique of making rain and shocking waves and the attacking technique of stopping water and rain curtain, they have also made considerable progress. It is estimated that it will not take long before they can reach the state of perfection.

Not to mention that he also has many spiritual weapons such as the Quexie Sword and the Sancai Spiritual Sword. With all these blessings, his combat power has reached an unprecedented peak!
This is also one of the reasons why he can calm down and deal with the changes of the disaster calmly...

In the blink of an eye, another two months passed in the quiet room.

Thin rays of lightning flew everywhere, accompanied by bursts of muffled sounds.

Chen Mu, who was practicing magic, suddenly frowned. With an idea in his mind, a shining jade talisman flew out of the storage bag and hung in the air, shaking rapidly.

Chen Mu swept his spiritual sense around and understood in his heart that it was the foundation-building cultivator stationed at the Liu family spiritual vein who sent a message asking for help.

"Liu's spiritual vein..."

The Liu family's spiritual vein bore the brunt of the attack, so there were a full ten Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there, and Shi Xin was among them. Even so, they still needed help...

With his eyes flashing, Chen Mu left the cave and summoned Jin Mozhou, rushing towards where Liu was at a high speed!

Half a day later, a golden line quietly disappeared and landed on a barren mountain thousands of feet away from the Liu family's spiritual vein.

The message for help was just a few words, and since the situation was unclear, he didn't dare to rush over.

After flying for a while, Chen Mu's consciousness extended to its limit and finally touched the Liu family's spiritual vein.

In an instant, his expression became solemn and he was secretly shocked.

Under the dark sky, there were more than ten black-robed monks flying in the air, each of them emitting foundation-building vibrations.

Behind him were nearly a hundred Qi Condensation cultivators, who were now distributed in various places, forming a formation to attack the Liu family formation that had been recently repaired!
Columns of spiritual light shot towards the protective formation, raising smoke all over the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Mu's escape light quickly slowed down and hid above the clouds.

Since the formation hadn't been broken, he wasn't in a rush to reveal himself. After all, if he was alone outside, it would easily provoke an attack from the evil cultivators of the Eternal Life Hall...

"Unfortunately, the sound transmission jade slip cannot reach the target due to the blockade of spiritual consciousness, so I cannot learn about the situation of Uncle Shi and the others."

Chen Mu pondered for a moment, and was about to continue using his spiritual sense to investigate the situation, when he suddenly discovered traces of escaping light behind him.

"call out!"

A golden line slowly stopped, and it was obvious that the monk on it had also discovered his figure.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, why did you stop here?"

A green-robed monk put away the Jin Mozhou and asked in surprise.

Chen Mu was certain in his heart, not revealing his powerful spiritual sense. He had already explored the situation ahead and casually made an excuse to reply, "The message for help was vague, and I didn't want to go rashly. I was just about to test it out, but then I met Fellow Daoist Fan..."

This person's name is Fan Detian, and he is a cultivator from the Tianji Sect, one of the three sects of the Stone Country. Because his realm has reached the middle stage of foundation building and his combat power is not bad, he, like Chen Mu, acts as a support person.
