Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 376: Ghost Advancement
three days later.

Under the dim sky, countless ownerless ghosts wandered aimlessly, not noticing Chen Mu who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing below.

Surrounded by the yin energy, it was unknown how long it had passed before Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a stream of foul air.

"I heard from Senior Brother Xu that it took him a full year to break through the fifth level, while it only took me a month. If I can maintain this pace, I might even be able to catch up to the top of the Earth Ranking..."

As he thought about it, he suddenly remembered Xu Jingyang's introduction.

The gap is so huge, in fact it is not because Xu Jingyang is too weak, but because the cultivators who are trying to pass the level with him are too powerful.

In addition, I was unfamiliar with everything and had to grope for everything, which was why I wasted so much time.

"I hope that in the next levels, I can also make rapid progress and catch up with the top progress as soon as possible!"

Chen Mu made up his mind and immediately stood up and took out the soul flag to activate it.

In an instant, a familiar black aura spread out, covering him and flickering continuously, like the movement of stars, leading him into the next level.

……

When his mind returned to normal and his vision became clear, a dark mountain suddenly appeared before his eyes.

This mountain, with its solitary peak rising high into the clouds, looks even more eerie, like an ominous mountain against the backdrop of the still dim sky.

Although there was a description in the secret record, Chen Mu still felt disturbed when he saw it with his own eyes.

To his surprise, there was a strong spiritual power on this mountain, which merged with the yin energy in the sky.

Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and without stopping, he immediately started to climb the mountain.

Before he had taken a few steps, the soul flag in his hand flew out by itself. The marks on the flag lit up one after another, and ten strange-looking ghosts flew out.

At the same time, all ten ghosts suddenly looked towards a pavilion in front of them and roared ferociously as if facing a great enemy.

Chen Mu was not surprised and also looked towards the pavilion.

If the secret record is correct, the next step will be the sixth level of trial...

Sure enough, with a loud "bang", rocks rolled down, and in the green wooden pavilion, a Taoist figure holding a teacup quietly appeared.

The figure was shadowy and obviously a ghost, but looking at its face and expression, it looked like a real person.

"Second-stage late ghost!"

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, and his right hand, which was behind his back, was already showing a faint gesture.

"Fellow Daoist, come and taste my tea."

After seeing Chen Mu, the Taoist ghost did not attack unconsciously like the lower-level ghosts, but poured him a cup of tea like a human cultivator entertaining a guest.

Chen Mu's eyes twitched when he heard this. He didn't dare drink the tea offered by the ghost...

It is recorded in the secret records that when people first tried to break through, many thought there was another hidden secret, so they drank the tea provided by the ghost. However, who knew that the tea contained a secret.

After drinking it, not only was his magic power inexplicably restricted, but even the ghosts in the soul flag began to riot and devour each other.

In the end, they had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the mountain. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but they also delayed their progress in breaking through the barrier. The people who were hit were so angry that they cursed the Taoist ghost, causing the incident to gradually become a laughing stock...

Seeing Chen Mu was unmoved, the Taoist ghost's expression suddenly changed. He threw the teacup in his hand and said in a frantic tone, "Why don't you drink it, fellow Taoist? You are so disrespectful to me!"

At the end of his words, he roared loudly, and then he rushed towards Chen Mu like a madman, roaring non-stop.

Seeing this, Yaksha and other ghosts hurriedly rushed forward, but the difference in their realms was too great. Before they could really make contact, they were all dispersed by the cold and gloomy wind raised by the Taoist ghost and turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared here.

The mark of the soul flag flashed, and a group of ghosts were reborn, but Chen Mu waved his hand to stop them.

The sixth level trial is different from the previous levels, and it mainly tests the cultivator himself.

If one can overcome this, not only will the spirits improve, but the cultivators themselves will also benefit greatly. "Late second stage cultivators... are ultimately no match for human cultivators."

Chen Mu made a gesture with his right hand and suddenly pointed it out, and the sound of thunder suddenly came from the air.

"boom!"

As the ghosts were in a trance, a sense of horror engraved in their bones arose spontaneously, and they trembled continuously, as if they had encountered a natural enemy!
The ghost of the Taoist priest was also everywhere. Although his realm was much higher than that of the Yaksha and others, he was still unable to stop the thunder magic cast by Chen Mu.

In an instant, accompanied by the flash of Guishui Yin Lei in the night, the Taoist ghost seemed to be hit by a wake-up call, and stood still for a long time without moving, until a breeze blew, then it suddenly collapsed into mist, and suddenly flew towards the Yaksha ghost and others.

A second-stage late-stage ghost, killed with one strike!

Chen Mu was delighted when he saw this, and after weighing the pros and cons, he quickly sent out the Yaksha ghost to meet them.

This is most of the essence of the second-level ghost. If it can be absorbed by Yaksha, it can break through to the second level in one fell swoop!

The Yaksha flapped its bat wings, greed appeared on its ferocious face, and it opened its mouth and sucked hard!
"Hoohoo!"

In the blink of an eye, the mist turned into wisps and penetrated into his body, making the nine ghosts behind him envious.

For a moment, the Yaksha's body turned red, and he roared continuously, looking extremely painful. If you look closely, you can faintly see a few flames burning.

Chen Mu looked at it for a few seconds and then walked towards the pavilion.

It was also learned from the secret records that after killing the Taoist ghost, a cup of spiritual tea would appear on the stone table in the pavilion.

After previous attempts, this cup of spiritual tea was found to be different from the previous one. Instead, it was full of spiritual energy and very precious!

As they got closer, a cup of spiritual tea appeared on the stone table in the pavilion, and it was even steaming faintly, as if it had just been poured.

Chen Mu was secretly amazed and picked up the teacup to investigate for himself.

Although the secret record contains a lot of records, the journey along the way also shows the credibility of this secret record.

But when faced with such a problem, he still believed in his own judgment.

After a moment, Chen Mu laughed and immediately raised his glass to drink!

"I was too cautious..."

As soon as the tea enters the stomach, it turns into a trickle of hot current and flows into the dantian.

In an instant, an extremely pure spiritual energy spread out, filling the area around the spiritual pool, gradually turning into mist and condensing into liquid that dripped down.

Chen Mu's heart moved. This cup of spiritual tea was not inferior to the one he drank on Lanzhi Island that year!
"No wonder Senior Brother Xu is making rapid progress. It turns out the opportunity here is truly strong..."

He laughed, then stopped thinking about it and concentrated on refining the spiritual energy in his body.

……

In a blink of an eye, another five days passed. Chen Mu slowly stood up, and a powerful aura spread out.

In just a few days, his efforts were equivalent to two years of hard work!
Such a speed really made him miss the Taoist ghost.

However, when he saw the increasingly burly Yaksha ghost with red eyes and a terrifying voice, he retracted the idea.

"Early stage of the second stage, not bad!"

Chen Mu exclaimed in admiration, and the Yaksha ghost seemed to understand, flapping its wings and flying around Chen Mu.

"Let's go, continue climbing!"

After this battle, he gained a lot and he really couldn't wait...
