Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 318 Fulfilling a Worldly Wish
Under the azure sky, a faint ray of light disappeared in a flash, at an incredibly fast speed, much faster than Chen Mu's Jin Mozhou.

On the small spirit boat, the gray-shirted immortal closed his eyes and rested, while Xu Jingyang was getting close to Su Wenyan, muttering something inaudible.

Chen Mu also listened and nodded in agreement from time to time.

"You mean to say that a phantom of red spider lily appeared in the spiritual pool of each of your Dantian, taking up a large part of your magic power?"

Su Wenyan frowned and asked softly with some confusion.

Xu Jingyang nodded immediately after hearing this, his face flushed slightly. "That's right, this phantom appeared quietly after the two of us swallowed the petals of the Lycoris radiata. No matter what method we use to control it, it remains unmoved..."

"Oh?" Su Wenyan raised one eyebrow slightly, his heart piqued. He immediately put his hand on Xu Jingyang's right shoulder and said, "Let me take a look. Don't resist. Relax your mind."

Xu Jingyang did as he was told, and immediately felt a powerful spiritual consciousness penetrating into his dantian, and finally stopped above the spirit pool.

It was not until an incense stick of time had passed that he suddenly felt his whole body relax. It turned out that Su Wenyan had withdrawn his consciousness.

"Master, how's it going?"

Su Wenyan's eyes flickered, and he did not respond to his question immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to the clouds in the distant sky, obviously thinking about something.

Xu Jingyang's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he looked at Chen Mu anxiously.

He had originally thought that this matter shouldn't be a big deal, but now seeing the master's expression, he probably thought that this matter was difficult and rare...

Chen Mu also had a bad feeling in his heart. If the Jindan cultivators were powerless to do anything about this matter, then he could only pray that the Yuanying cultivators in Fushan Changhe would be approachable.

After a long while, Su Wenyan shook his head gently, turned around and said, "You two must have been poisoned by the red spider lily..."

Red spider lily is another name for Lycoris radiata.

"poison?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he felt a little confused.

Xu Jingyang was the same, but he immediately asked, "Is such a magical medicine also poisonous?"

Su Wenyan smiled and replied, "It's poison to you, but to a cultivator who has reached the Perfect Golden Core stage, it's the best way to survive the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Why do you say that?"

"From what I've observed, the phantoms in your Dantian are identical to the records of Manjushage in our sect. It's said that after a cultivator at the Golden Core stage swallows this flower, they can condense a flower spirit in their Purple Mansion, which can resist the inner demon tribulation of the three Nascent Soul tribulations. It's extremely effective."

"The shadow in your dantian is the flower spirit of the red spider lily. However, because you swallowed too little spiritual medicine, there is only a shadow..."

"I see." Xu Jingyang nodded, but still asked with some confusion: "If that's the case, this is a good thing, but why is our magic power being hindered by it?"

Su Wenyan shook his head and smiled, replying, "In the final analysis, it's because your cultivation is too low to control this flower spirit, so it has taken your mana to nourish itself. Only when the inner demon tribulation arrives will its effectiveness be revealed."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Mu's brows tightened.

Heart Demon Tribulation? The Heart Demon Tribulation is one of the three Nascent Soul Tribulations. Putting aside whether he has the chance to cultivate to this level, just the years and months required to cultivate to this level, could it be that half of the mana will be taken away by this inexplicable flower spirit?

It might not be obvious at first, but when the time comes to truly fight for one's life, this will become his greatest weakness...

"Senior Su, is there any way to expel it?"

After thinking about it, Chen Mu asked softly.

Compared with this, he would rather not have the ability of this flower spirit to break the calamity.

Hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Su Wenyan's eyes, and it seemed that he agreed with Chen Mu's choice.

But he still shook his head and replied: "I don't know, at least I don't know..."

Chen Mu's heart sank. Even he didn't know how to solve this problem...

"Master, could you please ask Patriarch Tianxing to...give it a try?"

Xu Jingyang asked with anticipation. Ancestor Tianxing was a Nascent Soul cultivator close to their lineage, and he had arranged this battle.

If we can ask the Nascent Soul Ancestor to take action, then this flower spirit will be nothing...

"Hahaha... Let's go back to the mountain first. Maybe this matter will fall on Chen Mu!" Su Wenyan laughed and waved his hand.

"Me?" Chen Mu's eyes twitched, quite surprised.

Su Wenyan nodded and said, "That's right. If you can successfully become Junior Brother Zhuang's disciple, not to mention making a contribution on this trip, even if you don't make any contribution at all, the ancestor will probably help you."

"After all, Junior Brother Zhuang is the ancestor's favorite descendant..."

After hearing this, Chen Mu finally reacted, but he was moved in his heart but did not say anything.

……

The spirit boat disappeared in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was already somewhere in the sky.

Chen Mu seemed to sense something. After using his spiritual sense to investigate, his eyes dimmed. He immediately stood up and walked to Su Wenyan's side.

"Senior Su, before I leave, I still have some unfulfilled wishes. After so many years, I don't know when I can return, so please allow me to go a few times."

Su Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then as his consciousness extended, he understood everything in his heart. He pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "That's great. Only by fulfilling my worldly desires can I devote myself to the Dao!"

There was a sense of nostalgia in his expression, perhaps it was the scene that brought back the emotion.

"Go ahead, but can I wait for you for a moment?"

Chen Mu shook his head and said with a cupped hand, "There's no need to trouble you, Senior. Once this matter is settled, I will go there on my own."

Su Wenyan agreed, nodded, and turned to look at Xu Jingyang: "In that case, I will give you a token of the Fushan Changhe River. You can use this as a certificate when you enter the mountain tomorrow."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Jingyang had already taken out a small token and handed it to Chen Mu: "I'll wait for you at the mountain gate!"

"it is good!"

Chen Mu bowed and said goodbye, then parted ways with the spirit boat.

……

After a stick of incense, Chen Mu quietly disappeared and walked in Qingxi Town like an ordinary person.

Today is the big fair in the town. Folks from all over the country have flocked here, some carrying shoulder poles to sell their goods, while others holding money bags and shopping everywhere. The scene is bustling with people coming and going, and the noise is deafening.

Just like it was more than 20 years ago...

Chen Mu walked through the street, and the people around him seemed to ignore him and were doing their own things.

A moment later, he passed by a martial arts school in the center of the town, and a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

"Mubai Martial Arts School..."

Looking up at the huge plaque, Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, then walked in immediately.

After walking through a series of doors and corridors, I suddenly saw dozens of young men doing horse stances and exercising.

The child at the head, who is about ten years old, looks quite similar to Chen Bai and should be his son.

"Unfortunately, there are no spiritual roots..."

Chen Mu subconsciously extended his spiritual sense and did a rough check. At first he felt it was a pity, but then he changed his mind and thought that not having spiritual roots might not be a bad thing.

At least I can enjoy the company of my parents...
