Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 67 I believe you
Three days later, we reached the cliff.

The cliffs were relatively empty, with sparse trees growing behind Tinghai Pavilion. The sea breeze, slightly damp and fishy, ​​howled freely and unhindered. Fortunately, the warm sun was out today, so it wasn't unusually cold...

A ray of sunlight came into the pavilion through the window lattice. Chen Mu sat aside, quietly watching the light and shadow on the ground without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

"At this level, almost every inner disciple will learn some high-level spells..."

"A simple water-intensive technique alone might not be enough."

"Also, since we're talking about a spirit, we need to hurry up and give it a try. If anything goes wrong, we can deal with it in time..."

Since he has caught the attention of the elders in the sect, they will definitely come to him to explore opportunities, and his opportunity is actually the mysterious water lotus in his body.

After the sect's investigation, there are only two possible scenarios: the water lotus in the body is discovered or not discovered...

Chen Mu frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, he casually picked up the wooden slip on the table beside him, shook his head, and looked at it intently...

Half a while later, it was already afternoon.

Chen Mu studied the water control technique on the wooden slip for a long time. The more he understood it, the more he realized that the ideas of the predecessor who created this technique were amazing, and he gained a lot from it.

He sighed a few times, shook his head, regained his composure, put down the wooden slip in his hand, stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Walking slowly along the downhill path, he deliberately relaxed, and the afternoon sun shone on him, making him feel a little sleepy.

An hour later, Chen Mu bypassed Tianhu Peak and arrived at the bottom of Dutian Peak.

However, he didn't recognize either of the two disciples stationed at Dutian Peak this time.

After all, Chen Mu was not a disciple of Dutian Peak, so he couldn't just rush over without saying anything. So he smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "I am Chen Mu from Tianhu Peak, and I have come to visit Senior Brother Niu Dali from Guifeng."

"So it's Junior Brother Chen. We know you. Please come in..."

A middle-aged male cultivator in a white robe spoke with a rather cold attitude.

Chen Mu understood. Because he had successfully captured the Gengqi Arena, Dutian Peak would lose 10% of its resources for the next ten years. This would probably have little impact on those top disciples, because no one would suffer more than them...

But seeing that the middle-aged male cultivator was only at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, he was obviously not one of the top disciples, so it was natural for him to feel some resentment towards Chen Mu.

However, he only felt some resentment, and his cultivation level was not enough to support him in causing trouble for Chen Mu...

Chen Mu nodded slightly, passed the archway, and walked towards Niu Dali's cave.

A quarter of an hour later, he walked along the narrow mountain road to the end. From a distance, he saw Niu Dali as if he wanted to go out, with one foot on the mountain road.

But when he looked up, he saw Chen Mu walking towards him, so he retreated again.

"Where are you going?"

Chen Mu walked in and asked loudly.

Niu Dali grinned, but didn't answer directly. He walked into the cave with his head held high. With a big wave of his hand, he turned around and sat on the stone bench. Then he answered, "Of course I'm going to collect the reward."

"So fast!"

Chen Mu was slightly surprised, but then he understood what he was talking about. It should be the personal reward of the peak master.

Niu Dali laughed and asked Chen Mu why he came.

"Why, you're not waiting for the Peak Master's reward at the Crossing Sea Cliff, why are you looking for me?"

Chen Mu smiled as well, then walked over to another stone bench and sat down. His eyes flickered for a moment before he waved his hand and erected a magical shield, covering the two of them. He then asked softly, "You possess a superior spiritual root, and in ten years have reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation. I, on the other hand, have only a lower aptitude, yet I've only advanced slightly slower than you, reaching the eighth level... Aren't you at all curious as to why I'm cultivating so fast?"

As the words slowly came out, Chen Mu also looked at Niu Dali.

The two of them had a ten-year friendship, which was almost the same as the time he and Chen Bai had spent together. So if you asked him who he trusted most in Shuiyunjian, there was only one answer: Niu Dali...

Niu Dali was initially a bit lazy, but after seeing Chen Mu's serious questioning, his expression straightened up. After a moment's thought, he whispered, "Why do you ask like that? Didn't you work hard to cultivate your current cultivation level?"

Chen Mu pointed to the magic shield around them and said with a smile: "Now it's just the two of us, no need to cover up for me, I want to hear your thoughts."

Niu Dali chuckled upon hearing this, his tone becoming more relaxed. "It was fine before, I just thought you had ample resources. But ever since you broke through to the eighth level of Qi Condensation, I've been a little curious. After all, in my sect, there's never been anyone with low-grade spiritual roots who reached your level in just ten years..."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, which was pretty much what he thought. He looked up at Niu Dali opposite him and found that he had become serious, with a simple and honest look on his face again. He made up his mind and immediately stretched out his right hand and placed it on the stone table.

"I have some guesses...use your spiritual sense to probe my Dantian..."

Niu Dali uttered an "ah" in surprise, no longer as bold as before, and asked softly, "Really?"

It's no wonder he asked so unnecessarily. In the world of immortal cultivation, the Dantian within a cultivator's body, while not as important as the Sea of ​​Consciousness, is still an extremely important place. If a powerful person uses their spiritual consciousness or divine sense to probe into it and wantonly destroy it, the cultivator will suffer serious injuries at best, and at worst, the foundation of their cultivation will be damaged, and they will lose the chance to achieve the Great Dao...

Chen Mu nodded without saying anything.

Niu Dali's eyes narrowed upon seeing this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you trust me so much, I will not let you down. I'm sure..."

"Hurry up!" Niu Dali was still making a solemn promise, but was interrupted by Chen Mu beside him.

He naturally believed in Niu Dali, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him for confirmation...

Niu Dali reached out and held Chen Mu's wrist, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual sense to carefully probe into his dantian.

Although spiritual consciousness is invisible, he could feel the existence of Niu Dali's spiritual consciousness, so Chen Mu also used his spiritual consciousness and followed him in.

A moment later, two spiritual consciousnesses entered his Dantian one after the other. In Chen Mu's perception, a water lotus was stretching its branches and leaves, growing vigorously above the spiritual pond...

He did not deliberately guide Niu Dali's spiritual consciousness, but let Niu Dali observe on his own.

Chen Mu silently felt Niu Dali's spiritual consciousness passing through every corner, and some mixed thoughts arose in his heart...

After a while, Chen Mu and the others withdrew their spiritual consciousness and slowly opened their eyes.

Chen Mu stared at Niu Dali, trying to see his reaction.

Niu Dali frowned and asked Chen Mu doubtfully, "What's your guess?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu was certain in his heart and replied softly, "I think I should be some kind of spirit, but I'm not sure. I want you to see if there is any difference between my Dantian and yours."

This time he came to Niu Dali to see if anyone could discover the mysterious water lotus in his dantian. If they could, he would need to find another excuse when his master investigated. If not, then he could continue with the explanation of the spirit body...

But it seems that Niu Dali didn't notice the existence of Shui Lian...

"Of course there are differences. My mana is deep and my dantian is thick with mist, while yours is much less... But, as for the spirit body... I don't understand it either."

Niu Dali first smiled complacently, praised his own cultivation, then frowned again, shook his head and said.

　Fellow Taoists, the second chapter will be published a little later. Today, Chai watched a game after work... I am guilty, you don't have to wait, you can read it tomorrow morning~ Thank you all for reading, because Chai is a part-time writer and a newcomer, so I type relatively slowly (but it is much faster than when I first started). As for the suggestions and questions raised by everyone, I will try my best to correct them after seeing them.
