Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 72 Selecting a Magical Instrument

Lin Shuyun nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then reached for the storage bag at his waist and waved it into the air.

The next moment, six exquisite magical instruments of different shapes and gleaming light were suspended in the air, flowing slightly.

Lin Shuyun gave Chen Mu a look, as if signaling him to come forward and choose.

Chen Mu smiled and walked closer to take a look.

Seeing him move, Lin Shuyun said softly, "I have some killing weapons here, but they are definitely not as good as the killing weapons stored by the sect. I do have a few defensive weapons and some with special effects, which can be called fine products. You can pick one."

Chen Mu nodded suddenly and looked at the magic weapon on the far left. It was in the shape of a shield, the size of a palm, and made of jade. It was engraved with a ferocious lion head bound by vines. As soon as he took a look at it, he felt a murderous aura flowing through it... It was actually a defensive magic weapon.

Chen Mu secretly clicked his tongue. A shield actually held a murderous aura. He wondered what it had been through...

Put it aside for the moment and look at the next magic weapon.

A magical weapon in the shape of a mountain, but much smaller, not much bigger than the previous shield. It is blue-gray in color overall, with an ancient and natural aura.

Chen Mu frowned and guessed the function of this mountain magic weapon.

"Perhaps it's a special magical weapon with suppressive properties?"

Seeing his confusion, Lin Shuyun whispered, "It's also a defensive magical weapon... It's refined by extracting the soul of a mountain. When activated, it condenses into a phantom mountain peak, blocking attacks for the caster. Its defensive capabilities are even stronger than the previous one... but it's less flexible."

Chen Mu nodded and continued to look at the next magic weapon.

A long nail... This magic weapon is the smallest among the six magic weapons, about seven inches long, silver in color, and with an extremely sharp tip.

"The bone-piercing nail is actually a killing weapon, but its power is rather disappointing. However, it carries a demon-killing restriction. When used against demons, its power can be multiplied several times, so I took it out..."

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this and he fell into deep thought.

"This will definitely be useful...but I don't have any plans to hunt monsters at the moment."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mu examined the remaining three magical instruments one after another: two defensive magical instruments, and one bottle-shaped magical instrument that could store various poisons...

"Let's eliminate the two magical instruments with special effects first. They are currently useless."

"As for the remaining four defensive artifacts, none of them turned out to be particularly impressive after inspection... Shields or mountains..."

After a while, Chen Mu made up his mind, pointed to the shield-shaped magical weapon on the far left, and said, "Peak Master, this is the one I choose."

Lin Shuyun had no objection. With a flick of his finger, a palm-sized shield flew towards Chen Mu, and he mentioned the name of the shield in between.

"Green Ivy Lion Head Shield..."

Chen Mu took the shield and put it directly into the storage bag.

He pondered for a moment and decided to choose the shield. Although its defensive capabilities were not as good as the mountain-shaped weapon, he was attracted by the shield's flexibility. With a flick of his mind, it could be stationed at his side, allowing him to attack more comfortably...
"Okay, everything is done, you can all go back."

Lin Shuyun suddenly spoke and waved at Chen Mu and the others. She looked a little tired.

"Yes." The two of them immediately turned around and walked out of the pavilion, walking side by side on the corridor on their way back.

Before they had gone far, Chen Mu said, "In the past few days, I haven't had the opportunity to congratulate Senior Sister in person on becoming a true disciple..."

Zong Bing smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly, "Junior Brother Chen, there's no need to be so polite. In this competition, you've already made great contributions. Ten years from now, you might be able to take this opportunity to advance to the True Disciple stage..."

Chen Mu waved his hand upon hearing this: "It's still early."

The two of them complimented each other for a few words, then talked about their experiences in cultivation, and then parted ways and returned to their respective places.

Chen Mu returned to the cliffs and walked directly into the pavilion. He sat cross-legged and removed the storage bag from his waist. Looking at the fifty mid-grade spirit stones piled together and the three bottles of Heyuan Dan beside them, he couldn't help but feel a desire to practice...

Chen Mushai smiled and took out a Heyuan Pill.

Heyuan Pill is better than Yiyang Pill, and its effect on the late stage of Qi Condensation is also very significant. It has always been refined by Master Chu Dan, who is enshrined in the sect, to support the cultivation progress of the true disciples.

He swallowed the pill in his hand and began to practice.

This trip was quite rewarding, not to mention the rewards coming in three days...

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

"call."

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

He felt it silently and found that after three days of practice, the effect of the Heyuan Pill had just been used up a little. Based on this calculation, one Heyuan Pill was enough to support his practice for half a month.

Chen Mu regained his composure, stood up, packed up, and walked out of the pavilion.

He then noticed that today was a rare rainy day in winter...

He dispersed his magic shield and did not use the wind walk spell. He walked on the mountain path where the rain was pattering, feeling the subtle spring breeze coming through the rain.

We walked without stopping and arrived at the main hall of the mountain gate after two quarters of an hour.

Chen Mu cast a spell to remove the rain from his robe and slowly stepped inside. He found Zong Bing, Niu Dali and the others already waiting in the hall. A quick glance revealed nine people, but he was the only one missing...

"What's going on? You're not active in claiming the reward."

Niu Dali waved his hand and asked with a smile.

Chen Mu walked closer to him and replied, "I came here on foot."

"Sister Zong." As he said this, he bowed to Zong Bing.

Zong Bing nodded and turned away, but Niu Dali came closer and started chatting with Chen Mu in a low voice.

"So, I heard that the rewards from Tianhu Peak are much greater than ours... What rewards did you get?"

After Chen Mu told Niu Dali about the reward, he saw Niu Dali slap his fist and growl. Chen Mu ignored him and closed his eyes and waited.

After an incense stick of time, Taoist Zhang strode in, followed by Zhu Yuelian, who had not been seen for a long time.

Niu Dali woke up Chen Mu, who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, and nodded in the direction of Zhu Yuelian.

Chen Mu was stunned and looked over. He saw Zhu Yuelian waving in their direction.

"Eighth level of Qi Condensation... She's emitting spiritual light, it looks like she's just broken through. I was wondering why I didn't see her during the battle between the two peaks. I guess she's at the point of breaking through."

Niu Dali smiled and stretched out his hand to return the greeting, then opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"I guess so. She has good talent to begin with, and with Uncle Zhang's hard work in training her..." Chen Mu also nodded with a smile.

At this time, Taoist Zhang, who had already taken his seat, noticed the waving of his beloved disciple and Niu Dali, and immediately coughed lightly and spoke loudly.

"The Sect Master has ordered me to reward you... I won't waste any more time. You are the most outstanding inner disciples of the two peaks of the sect in the past ten years. I hope you will not slack off after receiving your reward and enter the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible. That is the great path..."
