Chapter 365 Late stage of foundation building
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

If there were no other things, he might have agreed, but with so many things to do right now, how could he lose sight of the important and pursue the trivial, seeking the distant and ignoring the near?

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Senior Brother. I've made some progress recently and plan to go into seclusion for a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you."

Hearing this, Xu Jingyang nodded with regret: "Since that's the case, I can't force it."

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, filling his cup with spiritual tea.

After the three of them chatted for a few more sentences, Xu Jingyang stood up first to say goodbye and hurried back to prepare.

"Senior Sister Gao, is there anything else?"

After he left, Chen Mu looked at Gao Xiaoqing beside him without changing his expression.

Gao Xiaoqing quickly waved her hand: "No more... Junior Sister will withdraw now. Sorry to bother you, Senior Brother."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Chen Mu walked a few steps forward with a smile.

After both of them left, he couldn't wait to enter the quiet room in the pavilion, and ignored Gui San's shouting.

"What are you in such a hurry about? Are you planning to default on your debt?"

Gui San raised his head in confusion, but he made up his mind to find an opportunity to find Chen Mu to fulfill his previous promise.

"It's a pity that my hundred-year life span can only be exchanged for something..."

Little did he know that the door would not be opened again for five or six years.

……

During the first few months of seclusion and hard training, Chen Mu refined a large number of healing pills.

In addition to all the hidden injuries being healed, both his magic power and soul have returned to their peak state.

From then on, he devoted all his energy to realm cultivation and the four elements of thunder magic.

But after maintaining this practice for several months, he found that the speed of his realm improvement was very slow, far from his previous expectations.

He pondered over this for a long time and realized that the slowdown in his progress in realm was due to the huge consumption of spiritual power by the four-element thunder technique.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to postpone his practice of thunder magic, and planned to pick it up again after breaking through the late stage of foundation building.

After his mind was settled, his progress in cultivation indeed increased rapidly, far exceeding the time when he was also practicing thunder magic.

Bottle after bottle of pills were swallowed into the stomach, and the accumulated spiritual energy almost turned into mist in the quiet room!

Some of this news spread out and roamed around the Spirit Lake, attracting many Purple Dragon Carp to jump out of the water and greedily devour the rich spiritual energy.

……

Three years passed in a flash.

Apart from Gao Xiaoqing who comes here often, Yunze Island seems like a secluded place and no one else comes here.

Chen Mu sat upright in the quiet room, with a flickering aqua-blue light imprinted on his face, making him look quite extraordinary.

After a moment, his eyebrows moved slightly, and then he suddenly opened his eyes.

These days, he has been concentrating on cultivating his realm, and finally today, there are signs of a breakthrough!
"not enough……"

Looking at the few Shanruo Dan pills left in front of him, Chen Mu frowned slightly, and his spiritual sense penetrated into the storage bag to search through all the boxes and cabinets.

I had originally hoped it would support him in achieving a successful breakthrough, but plans can't keep up with changes, and the elixir is still a little off...

"Next time I go into seclusion to practice arduously, I must prepare more. I would rather waste than be restricted!"

After searching for a while, two spiritual flowers suddenly appeared in his hands.

This is a second-grade top-grade ethereal flower, which is originally a spiritual material for refining Shanruo Dan. However, in this urgent moment, there is no time for him to start refining the elixir.

Fortunately, this spiritual flower can be swallowed directly. Although doing so will consume some of the medicinal properties, Chen Mu no longer cares about that at this time.

"boom!"

Several Shanruo Pills rushed out of the pill bottle and entered the stomach along with the Kongling Flower.

In an instant, a huge mass of pure medicinal mist flowed towards the dantian.

He hurriedly activated his spiritual sense, stirring up the waves in the spiritual pool, preparing to refine the spiritual medicine.

Within the Spirit Pond, the quaint and simple Dutian Water Palace had undergone a dramatic transformation. Mysterious water patterns were imprinted on the eaves, like a delicate veil, enveloping the mind and soul.

What was even more bizarre was that there were several crystal clear streams swirling and dancing around the water palace, floating like a dream.

The strange phenomenon in Lingchi Water Palace is naturally the martial arts that Chen Mu modified, "The True Record of Dutian Water Palace".

One of the signs of mastering this method is to create a water palace in the spirit pond and condense the core source.

His current appearance is clearly a sign that his skills are about to improve!
As expected, after refining the last bit of medicinal power, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the dantian, and the spirit pool surged violently. Finally, under the mysterious guidance, it smashed heavily on the edge.

This situation lasted for a long time, until several hours later, the spirit pond gradually calmed down.

The room calmed down, but the outside world suddenly changed.

Countless spiritual energies from heaven and earth gathered above the quiet room, covered by clouds and mist, and flowed towards one point like a funnel.

That is Chen Mu sitting upright!
The dome of the quiet room was like nothing, unable to block the influx of spiritual energy.

Feeling the spirit pool gradually becoming fuller, Chen Mu smiled silently.

"The late stage of foundation building...finally succeeded."

In a trance, he suddenly felt a lot of emotions.

You know, the leaders of the six major sects in Zhao State are only at the late stage of foundation building...

His speed in the foundation-building stage was countless times faster than when he was condensing his Qi.

"I wonder how Brother Niu and the others are doing?"

After a moment of reflection, Chen Mu sighed and regained his composure.

He did not rush to come out of seclusion immediately, but instead spent a month consolidating his cultivation and clearing out the impurities produced by swallowing the pills.

After solving the hidden dangers of his realm foundation, Chen Mu, who had just entered the late stage of foundation building, forced himself to calm down and continue to practice the four-element thunder method.

It's so hard to get such an opportunity, so of course we have to seize it!

Looking inward at his Dantian, he began to practice the four elements of thunder magic one by one.

Benefiting from the experience of Guishui Yinlei, Chen Mu broke through the minor success realm and reached the major success realm in just one year and three months.

But when striving for perfection, I encountered some difficulties.

After all, they are four mid-level magic techniques, so it is not easy to achieve perfection.

For an ordinary person, being able to perfect one technique in their lifetime is enough to boast about, let alone four...

It can only be said that it is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Another two years were spent before two of the four thunder techniques were perfected, namely Wu Earth Dark Thunder and Yi Wood Positive Thunder.

To be honest, Chen Mu was not very satisfied with this progress.

With the experience of Guishui Yin Lei as a reference and the blessing of the mysterious water lotus, I was able to complete two...

But it is also because of the incompatibility of attributes, otherwise it would not be so difficult.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to release the restriction in the quiet room.

The next moment, a sound transmission jade talisman flew in lightly and landed in his hand.

After immersing his mind for a moment, Chen Mu slowly stood up and walked out.

It was his master who sent him a message, asking him to go over.

This was the first time his master had summoned him in over five years, so he naturally wouldn't delay.

"call!"

The formation slowly faded away, and a warm and surging summer breeze blew towards them, carrying dazzling light.

Chen Mu closed his eyes and felt it, and felt that all the fatigue in his body was washed away.

"good weather!"

He sighed and immediately stepped forward...
