Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 41 Summit Rules
Chen Mu sat cross-legged in the Tinghai Pavilion and dissipated the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique.

"Although this technique is very effective, it takes quite a lot of energy to keep it running. Now that we've arrived at the master's door, let's take a break."

Then his spiritual consciousness gradually explored the Dantian spiritual pool, and he felt happy as he saw the addition of some spiritual liquid.

"A demon core from a late-stage first-order demon beast. Although some of its spiritual power was absorbed by the magic pattern, the remaining spiritual power is equivalent to a top-grade medicinal pill..."

"However, I'm still some distance away from the seventh level of Qi Condensation... But there's no need to rush. It hasn't been long since I broke through the sixth level of Qi Condensation. I'll just practice peacefully for now."

The night outside was getting darker, the sea breeze was howling, and a beam of moonlight shone through the window lattice and came to him.

Accompanied by the cool moonlight, Chen Mu regained his composure, took the Tianling Pill, and began to practice.

The next day.

Chen Mu got up early, packed up and went down the mountain.

After walking around Tianhu Peak for another half an hour, we arrived at the foot of Dutian Peak.

Dutian Peak is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and looks quite strange. Chen Mu had only seen it from afar and had never been to the top of it.

After going up the stairs all the way up the mountain, they soon arrived at a magnificent archway, with two disciples from Dutian Peak stationed next to it.

Seeing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but lower his head and smile, muttering to himself: "It's more impressive than Tianhu Peak..."

He stepped forward and bowed. Before he could say anything, he heard the disciple on the left open his mouth and said in surprise, "Brother Chen?"

Chen Mu was startled when he heard this, and looked carefully at the disciple who spoke to identify him.

The disciple stationed on the right also looked over in confusion.

The garrisoned disciple smiled upon seeing this and explained, "It's not surprising that Senior Brother Chen doesn't recognize me. We were both Immortal Seedlings of the same class. Back then, I was just an insignificant disciple with low-grade spiritual roots, but you always finished in the top ten in the disciple competitions. I admired you very much and was deeply impressed by you."

He continued with a disappointed tone, "But I don't have the magic skills of my senior brother, so I'm naturally lost among the crowd..."

Chen Mu nodded in recognition and said, "Junior brother, you have entered Dutian Peak to practice cultivation. You have already surpassed many others. You need to work harder and not be ashamed of yourself or become negative..."

It is normal that they cannot be recognized. At that time, everyone was focused on cultivation so that they could be promoted to the inner gate as soon as possible. Who had the leisure to drink tea and chat with friends? The only ones who became famous were those with good talents or those who were ranked at the top.

The disciple on guard nodded vigorously and replied with a bow, "Junior Brother, I've made note of this. Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for your advice... But Senior Brother Chen, you came to Block Tianfeng, is..."

"This time I'm here to look for Senior Brother Niu." Chen Mu replied with a smile.

The disciple on guard smiled knowingly and said, "Then I won't waste your time, Senior Brother. Do you need me to lead you there?"

"No need to do that. I heard him tell me where he lives before. I can go there by myself." Chen Mu waved his hand and left along the stairs.

After Chen Mu walked away, the disciple stationed on the right asked curiously, "Junior Brother, is this the low-grade spiritual root Chen Mu you often mentioned before? I think he has already reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation. His aura is outstanding. He seems to be someone with high-grade spiritual roots like Junior Brother Niu..."

"Sixth level of Qi Condensation? I didn't realize that. I thought Senior Brother Chen was already at the fifth level, which was pretty good... But when he came from the outer sect, Senior Brother Chen seemed different from other low-grade spiritual root disciples. So, the sixth level of Qi Condensation... isn't surprising."

Chen Mu went up all the way and turned left when he was near the top of the mountain. He came to a small mountain road that became narrower and narrower. After walking along the path for a quarter of an hour, he arrived at a relatively wide flat area.

At a glance, I saw Niu Dali standing in the middle of the plain with his upper body naked and in a strange posture. He was sweating all over and his feet were soaked.

Seeing that he was practicing, Chen Mu did not disturb him. Niu Dali also saw the person coming out of the corner of his eye, and did not dare to be distracted, so he did not stop practicing suddenly.

"call!"

After a moment, Niu Dali stopped and exhaled a long, dark breath.

He turned around and asked with a smile, "What day is it today? Junior Brother Chen Mu, who came from the future to visit me, has come to visit me."

"What? You don't welcome me?" Chen Mu smiled and said. In front of people he knew well, Chen Mu seemed much more casual.

Niu Dali laughed loudly and said, "Welcome, welcome. Come on, come on. If I don't drink three hundred cups with you today, I'm not Niu Dali!"

As he spoke, he cast a spell to clean up the mess and led Chen Mu into the cave.

Once inside the cave, there were only a few things in front of me: a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone bench...

Chen Mu looked at the bare cave, shook his head and laughed, saying, "You left your master's perfectly good pavilion behind and insisted on coming here to dig a cave... But this place is quiet and peaceful."

Niu Dali clapped his hands and smiled, replying, "I just came here for the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. At my master's place, there are rules everywhere, and I can't even sit still."

"Rules? Why? I don't think Uncle Shi is someone who cares about rules." Chen Mu asked in confusion.

Niu Dali snorted coldly, "Humph! It's none other than my respected Sixth Senior Brother Lin Xuanming! Master is not concerned with worldly affairs, the first and second senior brothers are seeking a good opportunity to build their foundation, the third senior brother is devoted to studying the way of spiritual plants, the fourth senior brother is not at the mountain gate, and the fifth senior brother is already a true disciple... Dutian Peak's many trivial matters have made him stand out!"

Chen Mu nodded slightly when he heard this, but said nothing.

Niu Dali waved his hand, and several dishes appeared on the stone table in front of him. He smiled and said, "I'm happy today, so I won't talk about those people who spoil the fun. Come! Have a few drinks with me."

Chen Mu took the wine glass, nodded and laughed, "You are well prepared... Come on!"

After some lively conversation and drinking, Chen Mu lowered his head slightly and said with a smile, "I've also been wanting to attend the Tianhu Summit recently. I heard that you defeated a senior brother who is at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, so I came here early this morning to ask for advice..."

"I knew you wouldn't come to me unless you had something to do!" Niu Dali put down his wine glass, raised his hand into a fist, and muttered with a lost look, "I have only recently reached the seventh level of Qi Condensation, relying on the high-level magic given to me by my master... Otherwise, Senior Brother Wu has been at the eighth level of Qi Condensation for a long time, with no shortage of magic tools and endless magic. He and I are from the same school, so how can I defeat him?"

Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Are you still not satisfied with this? You've only spent less than eight years, and you've already surpassed the eighteen years of cultivation of others... Come on, stop pretending, I don't know you!"

Niu Dali chuckled and replied contentedly, "Isn't this just... setting higher standards for myself?"

Then he reminded her, "By the way, if you also want to participate in the summit and compete for the elixir, you must pay attention to... how to stand till the end! The rules of the summit are not the same as the back-and-forth fights we had when we were in the outer sect."

"If you want to get the elixir, you must keep it with you for more than an hour. You will be facing all the disciples who want to fight for the elixir... But no matter what method you use, whether it is bribery or calling for help, after an hour, the elixir will be yours."

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this. When he first went to the Tianhu Summit, he had one of the three elixirs. Because it was chosen by the peak master, no one came to fight for it.

Xu Yang also has one, and it seems that the other disciples dare not compete with him for it.

As for the last one, it was snatched away by a green-robed male cultivator. Han Jing even went up to try it out.

He already knew some of the rules, but not completely...

"If any means are acceptable, it will be disadvantageous to me..."

Seeing Chen Mu frowning and thinking for a long time, Niu Dali curled his lips and said in a muffled voice: "If it weren't for the fact that disciples from other peaks are not allowed to fight for the two peaks, I would really like to go and help you..."

Chen Mu regained his composure and said with a smile, "Okay! If the sect suddenly changes its rules one day, I will definitely ask you to help."

……

After saying goodbye to Niu Dali, Chen Mu returned to Duhai Cliff without stopping.

He sat cross-legged in Tinghai Pavilion, looking thoughtful.

"If it's really impossible, we can change our thinking..."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mu immersed himself in cultivation.
