Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 40: The Water-Bound Technique
But when he thought that one of them already had a crack and he didn't know whether it could be saved, he felt a little heartbroken.

"We have to find a way to remedy this situation quickly..."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu put the ancient book back, turned around and walked out.

"This is a pleasant surprise. I never dared to speculate about the possibility of a foundation-building monster before..."

"You don't have to rush to sell it out. Wait until the hype is over."

He took two steps at a time and soon returned to the Dharma Teaching Pavilion. He looked around and found that Zhu Yuelian had left, leaving only Sun Wude sitting there drowsy.

Chen Mu bowed slightly, and without caring whether Sun Wude saw it or not, he strode out the door.

Following the small path on the side of the mountain, we walked towards the back mountain.

As he walked, he thought, "I haven't heard of anyone in my sect who is good at taming beasts. Only some of the deacons who feed the Flowing Cloud Cranes have gone to the Beast Taming Sect to practice for a period of time..."

“Although I certainly can’t learn the exquisite inheritance of the Beast Taming Sect, even if I can learn the basics, it’s enough for me to think about it.”

Half an hour later, Chen Mu bowed to a deacon in black linen and said, "Excuse me, Senior Brother Wang. I have something to ask you during this trip."

The black-robed butler smiled and waved his hand upon hearing this, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, don't be polite. I didn't see you being so reserved when I borrowed the Liuyun Crane before. Just tell me what you want to say."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just bought a Snow Yin Demon Toad egg in the market a while ago. I accidentally cracked it, and its essence leaked out. I was at a loss, so I came to ask for help. Does your brother have any way to remedy this?"

The black-robed deacon's face showed a thoughtful expression as he muttered, "Snow Shadow Demonic Toad, a mid-stage first-order demonic beast..." After a moment, his eyes moved and he said, "This type of demonic beast is relatively easy to deal with. Junior Brother, you just need to go back and buy some Ice Heart Stones, and then use some Spirit Stones to help the egg hatch. A mid-stage first-order demonic beast can hatch with a maximum of ten Spirit Stones."

Chen Mu was delighted when he heard this and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, for telling me. Otherwise... the fifty spirit stones I spent on it would have been wasted."

The black-robed butler smiled heartily and said, "Very well, very well. Junior Brother Chen, when you achieve success in your cultivation, don't forget me."

"Of course... Senior Brother, do you have a spirit beast bag?"

"Of course there is. Junior brother, are you going to prepare for your Snow Demon Toad?" The black-clothed deacon said with understanding.

Chen Mu nodded and said, "That's right, please sell me one, so I don't have to go to the market again."

"Since you're so anxious, do you want some Ice Heart Stones? They were originally prepared for my pet, the Ice Demon Snake..."

Chen Mu smiled and agreed.

The black-robed butler was originally just a chores disciple with a slightly higher level of cultivation. He was later chosen by his master and sent to the Beast Taming Sect to train in taming fur. After returning, he has been raising Liuyun Crane for his master...

Since he was deliberately trying to make friends with her, Chen Mu didn't intend to refuse.

After the exchange, Chen Mu said goodbye to the black-clad butler and returned to the sea crossing cliff.

As he entered Tinghai Pavilion, he immediately took out the cracked egg, some ice heart stones and dozens of spirit stones.

"Just induce labor, it's better to use it yourself than not at all..."

As the black-robed butler said, they set up a circle of spirit stones in a corner of the room, with a small platform made of ice-heart stones in the center.

He carefully placed the cracked egg on it, then pinched his fingers to release a stream of magic power, activating the spiritual power on the spirit stone.

Suddenly, dozens of tiny beams of light hit the Bingxin Stone Platform. The next moment, the fetal egg on the platform began to flash with a faint blue light, like an eyeball blinking non-stop.

Chen Mu looked at the cracks on the egg and found that the essence that had been continuously overflowing suddenly decreased, and the overflowing essence had become weak and invisible.

"It really works!" Chen Mu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"But I'm still a little weak..." Chen Mu nodded slightly as he looked at the dozens of light beams. He waved his right hand, and dozens of spirit stones fell over, triggering light beams that all hit the Bingxin Stone Platform.

"That's pretty good." Chen Mu looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"If you lose your spirit stones, you can earn more, but if you lose your eggs, they're gone for real..."

"Looking at this, I don't know how many days it will take to induce labor. Let's put it aside for now."

Chen Mu put his mind at ease and walked out to the edge of the sea crossing cliff.

He waved his hand and poured out the body of the Cold Crystal Snow Sun Toad, and began to take the pill!
Soon, Chen Mu, having cleaned up everything, sat cross-legged on the sea-viewing platform. After consulting ancient books, he took the elixir, which proved to be very correct.

The Cold Crystal Snow Sun Toad is full of treasures. For example, the toad venom it secretes is the main ingredient for refining some detoxification elixirs, and it is very expensive...

He put the decomposed spiritual materials into the storage bag, turned his right hand, and suddenly a white demon pill the size of a pigeon egg appeared.

Chen Mu's eyes were filled with excitement. Although the biggest gain of this trip to the Heize Mountains was the two fetal eggs, what he needed most at the moment was still the demon pill in front of him.

He had relied on his powerful magic to win battles all the way to this point. Now that he had something that could significantly increase his combat power, how could he not be excited...

"call!"

Chen Mu let out a long breath, adjusted his mind, moved his right hand, tilted his head back and swallowed the white demon pill.

As soon as it entered his mouth, his face frowned, as if he was extremely uncomfortable.

Demon pills are different from elixirs. In the hands of alchemists, elixirs emphasize peace and stability, and rarely contain strong drugs.

But the demon pills were not so restrained, they opened and closed freely, rushing around recklessly, so few people swallowed the demon pills directly...

At this moment, the demon pill swallowed by Chen Mu emitted an unimaginable biting coldness in his body, as if he had swallowed a piece of ten thousand year old black ice, which went straight into his heart, or like countless ice spikes, which pierced wherever they went.

A roar came from between his clenched teeth. Chen Mu endured the pain, tried his best to use his magic power to protect his meridians and bone marrow, and slowly pushed the demon pill towards his dantian.

After a while, the demon pill finally slowly came into the dantian.

Chen Mu was delighted, and with a thought, the complicated water magic patterns written on the water lotus suddenly lit up, and a ball of light rushed out and wrapped around the demon pill.

Instantly, a mixture of demonic energy and spiritual power spread out, but before it could spread too far, it was drawn to the water lotus. In the blink of an eye, the water lotus trembled, and the pure spiritual power that had been stripped of the demonic energy transformed into drops of spiritual liquid...

Three days later, the demon pill in the dantian turned into the last breath, and then disappeared as if it had never existed, leaving only a ball of light evolved from the Fanshui magic pattern.

The originally hazy white light has now turned into a dark blue, mixed with wisps of white mist.

Chen Mu's mind moved again, and the light suddenly turned back into a magic pattern and flew towards the water lotus.

"The Water-Swallowing Technique... has been accomplished."

Chen Mu opened his eyes and couldn't wait to make a hand gesture with his right hand. Several dark clouds gathered in the sky. After a while, raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

He reached out to feel the properties contained in the raindrops. After a moment, he shuddered and came to his senses.

"At first glance, it seems no different, but after a while, I feel a chill seeping into my bones. If the chill really enters my body... I'm afraid even the circulation of my magic power will be affected..."

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He raised a ball of magic power on his arm and tried again.

This time, as soon as he reached in, he felt a change. He saw raindrops dripping on the magic shield, creating ripples one after another.

After a while, the shield that had once been impenetrable seemed to be burned by fire, with holes appearing one after another. It could only be repaired by the endless use of mana...

"This should be the extremely yang power within the toad's ice mist... and the mana consumed in resisting the ordinary rain before was negligible, but now, in order to repair the damage, the mana consumed cannot be underestimated."

Only then did Chen Mu smile. A high-level spell could produce such wonderful changes. It seemed that the magic was extraordinary.

Excited, he tried the Chonglang sword technique again. He clenched his right hand and a crystal water sword appeared in his hand.

He swung his sword forward suddenly, and a blue sword energy that seemed to be real hit a huge rock in front of him.

"Crack..." With a sound, the boulder paused and broke into two halves.

Chen Mu put away his magic and walked closer to take a closer look.

He saw a piece of frost had condensed on the fracture. He reached out and knocked it, and found that the boulder had melted into ice, and there were frequent crisp sounds...

"Although the sword energy in the past could cut through things, it didn't have such miraculous changes."

"Hahahaha..." Chen Mu laughed heartily, gazing towards the summit of Tianhu Peak. Then he remained silent for a long time...
