Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 76: Re-entering Danhen
"Ye Ning?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he thought of that cold woman.

"She broke through to the second level of Qi Condensation?"

Zou Yongyi nodded quickly, his expression as if he had made a breakthrough, and said, "Yes, Senior Sister Ye Ning has been practicing diligently since she became a disciple, and she never slacks off. We all admire her!"

Chen Mu stared at the envious look in his eyes, thinking about something.

At this time, Sun Wude also interrupted with a smile, "I was wondering what a lowly cultivator like you from the first level was doing here. Turns out you're here to exchange spells for me... How about this? The Golden Needle Technique you just picked out is a gift to you!"

Sun Wude waved his hand and casually gave away the golden needle technique worth a spirit stone. He then glanced at Chen Mu secretly...

Chen Mu laughed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said to the delighted Zou Yongyi, "Why don't you thank Brother Sun?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun, thank you so much... When I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will definitely return it to Senior Brother Sun... Oh, no, I will definitely not forget you, Senior Brother."

Zou Yongyi hurriedly bowed and thanked him. He was so emotional that his words were a little disorganized.

Sun Wood, however, was enjoying it very much, even though he made an exception and gave it to Chen Mu for free...

Chen Mu looked at Zou Yongyi who was serious, smiled and nodded.

He is only about ten years old now, and lives a very innocent life. He will be kind to whoever is kind to him...

After a moment, Chen Mu's expression straightened, and he said, "Alright, after you give the Golden Needle Technique to Ye Ning, don't run around. You should seize the time to practice. When you reach a higher realm, you will find that many of the things you think are difficult now will be easily solved. Remember this."

In fact, he had just noticed that Zou Yongyi must have developed a liking for Ye Ning, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to please Ye Ning.

But he didn't dare to believe it, because he was a little puzzled as to how a ten-year-old child could be so precocious in this aspect...

But no matter whether it is true or not, he has to give Zou Yongyi his advice.

At this time, Zou Yongyi was in a daze, not knowing whether he understood what Chen Mu meant. It was not until a moment later that he nodded and said goodbye and left.

Looking at his happily running figure, Chen Mu smiled without saying anything.

"Junior Brother Chen, why are you here...?"

Sun Wood asked softly.

Chen Mu came back to his senses, turned around and said, "Junior brother, you came here this time to learn high-level defensive spells."

"Hey! I thought it was something else. Please wait a moment, Junior Brother. I'll go get it for you right away!"

Sun Wood laughed loudly and turned to go into the inner room.

After a short wait, Sun Wude returned with three jade slips and said loudly, "Junior brother, take your pick. Take whichever one you want. Consider it a gift of congratulations from your senior brother to me!"

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised. Sun Wude, who usually treasured every spirit stone, was so generous. It seemed he had other requests...

He didn't point it out, but took the three jade slips and started to choose.

After a while, Chen Mu chose a high-level defensive spell called Waterfall and pushed the remaining two jade slips to Sun Wood.

Sun Wude chuckled and took the jade slip without saying a word.

Chen Mu lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Brother, are you in trouble? Is there anything I can help you with?"

He did this not to save some spirit stones, but simply because he felt that Sun Wood was a trustworthy person.

Although he asked for a spirit stone at the beginning, which made Chen Mu have the impression that he was greedy and had no bottom line, but over the years, Chen Mu had already received discounts from him that far exceeded this amount.

Besides, this is a discount given to him by a greedy person...

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Sun Wude's smile froze, but he immediately covered it up with a laugh. He rolled his eyes and said, "No, no, it's just that I see that Junior Brother is making great progress, so I want to ask for some icing on the cake. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask Junior Brother..."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Mu didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Okay, Junior Brother, I'll take my leave now." "Don't delay Junior Brother's business, please."

Sun Wood put on a smile and said hurriedly.

When Chen Mu's figure gradually faded away, Sun Wood's smile softened, he lowered his head slightly, and let out a very faint sigh...

Chen Mu naturally didn't know that at this moment he was striding towards the Danhen area, and the trip to the Chuanfa Pavilion was just a side trip.

And going to the Danhen area was also to practice the secret method of Xiaoguishui Minglei in Dutianshuifu.

This is because practicing this method requires the use of a kind of thunder liquid called the thunder crystal stone's heart to engrave thunder marks.

He knew that this Thunder Liquid Spirit Material was the main ingredient for refining a first-grade, mid-grade Body Tempering Pill. He had seen this kind of pill at Wei Xingyou's place before...

He took steady steps and soon arrived at the Danhen area surrounded by fire.

Chen Mu waved his hand to summon the servant and asked, "Is Master Wei making the elixir today?"

The servant bowed and said, "Brother, you've arrived at an unfortunate time. Master Wei Dan just left."

Chen Mu waved his hand to dismiss the chores, and continued to walk forward calmly. When he passed the Danhen area not far away, he came to an unnamed hill.

He is now very familiar with this, after all, he came here every three months in the past two years.

When I reached the mountainside, I happened to see the Medicine Boy Pavilion where Wei Xingyou sat. Two years had passed, and the child had grown a lot taller.

"Ting'er..."

The young man turned around and said in surprise, "Uncle Chen!"

"Where's your master?"

"Master just came back, please come in!"

Chen Mu smiled and nodded, then followed the young man into the house.

"Master! Uncle Chen is here!"

Before entering the inner room, the young man ran a few steps and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Oh?" Wei Xingyou, who had just sat down in the inner room, stood up and greeted him slightly.

"Senior Brother Wei." Chen Mu bowed.

Wei Xingyou smiled casually and said loudly, "Junior Brother Chen has made great contributions to Tianhu Peak, ranking among the top three and receiving generous rewards. Why did you come to me instead of practicing hard?"

Chen Mu saw Wei Xingyou's deliberate teasing, shook his head and laughed, saying, "Of course it's something important."

After two years of getting along, Chen Mu discovered that Wei Xingyou didn't have the arrogance of an alchemist, and Wei Xingyou also liked Chen Mu very much, so the relationship between the two of them was enough for them to joke with each other...

Wei Xingyou led Chen Mu to a seat and said, "What's the important matter? Tell me quickly. I have other things to do."

"What can you do? You're just refining pills to earn spirit stones..." Chen Mu curled his lips, but then his face turned serious, with a look of surprise and doubt: "Could it be..."

Wei Xingyou smiled complacently and nodded, "Indeed, I've made some progress recently. Today I just refined a batch of first-grade, top-grade Dingyan Pills... Although this pill is considered unusually simple among first-grade, top-grade pills, it's still top-grade, isn't it?"

"A top-grade Dingyan Pill sold for two hundred spirit stones... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, those female cultivators are really willing to spend money..."

Chen Mu was stunned for a long time, and sighed, "Senior Brother Wei is truly a genius in alchemy... He just refined a furnace of other high-grade elixirs not long ago, and in the blink of an eye he has jumped to the top-grade Dingyan Pill... I admire you!"

Wei Xingyou, who looked very proud, laughed dryly upon hearing this. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay. It's just my talent. What can I do about it..."

Chen Mu's praise made him a little uneasy. Others didn't know, but he knew it himself. The phrase "occasionally gaining something" was indeed literal. Certain elixir-making techniques would occasionally surface in his mind...
