Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 71 Phantom Star Cloud Yarn
After a while, everyone came to a fork in the road. Lin Shuyun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Han Jing and the others, saying, "You guys go down too. Chen Mu, come with me..."

As soon as the words came out, Ningxia and the others bowed and retreated immediately, and Han Jing followed them. However, when she left, she turned her head slightly to look at Chen Mu, her lips slightly opened as if containing a dan, and silently said: "Then I'll go first..."

Seeing this, Chen Mu nodded, then took two quick steps to catch up with Zong Bing, and followed Lin Shuyun with her.

After a short while, Chen Mu and the other two walked into an ancient attic room with a carved screen in the middle, blocking some of the view of the inner room.

Lin Shuyun walked without stopping, and sat down at the top, while Chen Mu and Zong Bing stood at the bottom of the hall.

"Chen Mu..."

Lin Shuyun spoke slowly, his eyes wandering, and he murmured with a thoughtful look on his face. It didn't seem like he was calling him, but rather speaking subconsciously while thinking.

Chen Mu bowed and said, "Disciple is here."

Lin Shuyun's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Chen Mu below the stage for a moment, then said calmly, "There are no outsiders here now. I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you must answer truthfully."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he probably knew what the problem was, so he agreed without showing it on his face.

"Are there other monks in your family?"

"No, I am the only monk in my family."

Lin Shuyun nodded slowly and continued to ask, "Is there anyone who can provide you with resources to help you practice?"

"No, the resources used by disciples for cultivation are all obtained in exchange for the talismans they draw."

Chen Mu still shook his head. He couldn't hide his identity as a talisman master. Rather than being discovered, he would rather tell the truth himself...

"Oh? Are you still a talisman master?"

Lin Shuyun said in surprise, even Zong Bing, who was waiting quietly on the side, looked surprised and turned to look at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu replied calmly, "Yes, a few years ago, I went to Tianhe Market with Senior Brother Niu Dali from Dutian Peak and purchased some talisman inheritance. With this, I became a first-class mid-grade talisman master... Therefore, my cultivation resources all rely on the talisman."

"A first-rank mid-grade talisman master...isn't enough to support his current speed of cultivation." Lin Shuyun thought secretly, and nodded without showing it on his face.

Then he continued, "I will use my spiritual consciousness to enter your Dantian. Don't be on guard, otherwise you will be injured if I collide with you..."

Chen Mu said yes when he heard it, but his heart suddenly tightened, "Here it comes."

He actually expected that his master would investigate him, so before receiving the reward from his master, he specifically asked Niu Dali to check on him.

It’s just that no one expected that Lin Shuyun would take the lead, but this also happens to show that Chen Mu’s position in Tianhu Peak is gradually becoming important.

If it were any other ordinary disciple, Lin Shuyun would probably ignore him...

After getting Chen Mu's answer, Lin Shuyun's expression condensed. The next moment, she felt an inexplicable mysterious feeling in the place where she was, which extended towards the direction of the hall.

Because Lin Shuyun hadn't concealed his divine consciousness, Chen Mu's entire body tensed up uncontrollably, as if he sensed a crisis...

Chen Mu tried his best to suppress the warning in his spiritual consciousness and let the divine consciousness cover him and penetrate into his body.

Having someone else's divine consciousness within your Dantian is an extremely awkward and uncomfortable state, as if countless pairs of eyes are surrounding you, staring at you non-stop, as if they can see through you completely...

Fortunately, it didn't last long. The awkward feeling he felt completely dissipated, and he actually felt a sense of relaxation. Lin Shuyun slowly withdrew his mind, his eyes filled with deep thought, but his face remained expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Chen Mu's body, which had just begun to relax, tensed up again when he saw Lin Shuyun's current condition, and he felt a little uneasy.

Although Niu Dali had tried it once before, he was a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage after all, and his spiritual sense could not detect it. But who can say for sure that the spiritual sense of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage could not detect it either?
"strangeness……"

Lin Shuyun took a deep breath and said softly.

Chen Mu was anxious, but he suppressed it, not showing it on his face. He waited silently for Lin Shuyun's next words.

Lin Shuyun was thinking above, while Chen Muzongbing and the other two were also silent. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the pavilion...

After a moment, Lin Shuyun shook his head slightly, as if he hadn't thought of an answer. He muttered to himself, "Maybe it really is a spirit... But whether it is or not, I can't tell. I'd better leave it to my senior brother to handle it."

Although Chen Mu didn't look at Lin Shuyun, he heard her mumbling, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It seems that even the spiritual consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot discover the mysterious water lotus in my body. This is a good thing..."

"The water lotus is becoming more and more mysterious. Once I have the ability to protect myself, I will cross several counties and go to Wenjian County to find out..."

After Lin Shuyun thought it over, his expression straightened. He looked at Chen Mu and the others in the hall and chuckled, "I said I'd give you two top-grade magical instruments, but I didn't actually ask you what kind you wanted."

"You must think carefully. You will receive another reward from the sect in a few days, so make sure to plan carefully..."

Chen Mu and the others pondered over what they heard, and after a moment, Zong Bing spoke first.

"Master, I was previously using a mid-grade magical weapon, the Broken Crystal Yarn, but it was damaged during the fight. Repairing it would probably be more trouble than it's worth... But I'm already accustomed to using this type of defensive magical weapon, so... I'm bold enough to ask for the top-grade magical weapon you used before, the Phantom Star Cloud Yarn..."

Chen Mu saw that she was sincere and it was obvious that he had already set his eyes on the magic weapon she mentioned.

Lin Shuyun chuckled and said, "Since you've already thought of it, I don't need it anymore, so I'll just give it to you..."

"You must use it well. If someone else asks for it, I wouldn't even trade it for three top-grade magical instruments..."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of gauze from her storage bag. There were stars embroidered on it, but it looked as if it were nothing under the reflection of the light.

Zong Bing hurriedly took two steps forward and took the veil. His snow-white face flushed pink with excitement. He said, "Disciple will remember this and will use it well, living up to Master's reputation."

It's no wonder she was so excited and overjoyed. The Phantom Star Cloud Yarn was indeed extremely precious, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities. It also had the special effect of amplifying her illusion techniques, making it a perfect match for her. Furthermore, it was something the Peak Master treasured, and if she kept it for a long time, it might even have other uses...

Lin Shuyun nodded, then turned her gaze to Chen Mu and asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"

Chen Mu replied, "I don't have any other needs at the moment. Both killing and defensive magic weapons are acceptable..."

He didn't set a goal in advance like Zong Bing, but he also had some ideas.

Although he had just obtained a top-level killing spell, he had not yet practiced it. Having a killing weapon could directly improve his combat power.

As for defensive magic weapons... he never has too many.
