Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 77 Water-Colored Dark Thunder
"I need to be more cautious in the future. If other alchemists notice my abnormality, I'm afraid they will have other ideas..."

Wei Xingyou thought secretly, but Chen Mu's sigh reminded him.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Chen Mu changed the subject and stated the purpose of this trip.

"Brother Wei, I wonder if you still have the main ingredient for refining the Body Tempering Pill, the thunder liquid at the heart of the Thunder Crystal Stone? I saw you refining it here twice before..."

"Really?" Wei Xingyou frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he said, "Oh, that's made for Junior Brother Zhou's spirit pet... Do you need it? I still have a few bottles left."

"Junior Brother Zhou..."

Chen Mu's mind moved. He could only think of one person, the disciple named Zhou, who had given his spirit pet a first-grade, mid-grade body-hardening pill and had Wei Xingyou refine it for him...

"But Senior Brother Zhou Weiqian?"

Wei Xingyou raised one eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Does Junior Brother Chen also know Junior Brother Zhou?"

Chen Mu smiled and nodded slightly without answering.

He naturally knew Zhou Weiqian...

Moreover, Chen Mu already knew his name when he was still an outer disciple.

Not long after he was promoted to the true teaching level, he killed the Ghost Spirit Sect's robber cultivators who were wreaking havoc in the remote towns of Shuiyun County on behalf of his master. Unfortunately, he failed to wipe out the entire group, which led to Chen Mu and his group being almost in danger during their training.

According to Zhang Laodao, Zhou Weiqian was severely punished by the headmaster for this because of Niu Dali, but Zhang Laodao couldn't explain the specific punishment...

At that time, Chen Mu was still a little confused, but he did not show it. Instead, after being promoted to the inner sect, he went out of his way to learn about Zhou Weiqian.

Only then did they know that Zhou Weiqian was a disciple of Dutian Peak, and was the leader of the top-ranking sect in the battle between the two peaks ten years ago, and thus became a true disciple.

He and Niu Dali, one is the sect's new strength, and the other is a disciple with excellent qualifications. Both are very important to the sect.

Fortunately, Niu Dali was fine in the end after that incident.

So after understanding this, Chen Mu guessed that the Sect Leader, after weighing the pros and cons, should have only convicted Zhou Weiqian of negligence...

"I haven't heard from Zhou Weiqian for a long time. I guess he's been concentrating on cultivation since being punished by the Sect Leader..."

Chen Mu secretly complained and shook his head slightly.

After a moment, he smiled slightly, looked straight at Wei Xingyou, and said, "Junior brother, you are not here to seek the Body Tempering Pill, but to obtain the main ingredient of the Body Tempering Pill, the Thunder Liquid..."

"What do you want it for, brother?"

Wei Xingyou was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Chen Mu replied: "I have my own uses."

Wei Xingyou pursed his lips, did not ask any further questions, and reached for the storage bag at his waist with his right hand.

The next moment, a transparent jade bottle filled with silver liquid appeared in his hand.

Silver light flowed between the dimensions, and a hint of lightning appeared on the surface from time to time.

"These are all I have left. Is it enough for you?"

Chen Mu looked at the jade bottle, silently estimated it, nodded, and said, "That's enough. How many spirit stones?"

Wei Xingyou chuckled and threw the jade bottle in his hand directly to Chen Mu.

"Originally, these weren't enough for me to make another furnace of Body Tempering Pills. It's worth at most ten spirit stones. It's not worth paying for... maybe one yuan next time!"

Chen Mu pursed his lips when he heard this. He had thought it was a gift to him...

After taking the jade bottle and putting it into the storage bag, Chen Mu chatted with Wei Xingyou for a while, then said goodbye and left.

……

Now that everything was done, Chen Mu was no longer in the mood to wander around. He immediately controlled the Wind Pattern Cloud Banner and flew rapidly towards the Crossing the Sea Cliff.

After a while, he saw Tinghai Pavilion, put away his magic and slowly landed on the Guanhai Terrace.

Gazing at the distant sea with its endless spring tide, Chen Mu fell into deep thought. After a long moment, he suddenly turned around and strode into the Tinghai Pavilion.

After sitting cross-legged, he pointed at the spirit beast bag on his waist, and Xiao Qi appeared in his hand, still staring at Chen Mu with its big eyes, motionlessly.

Seeing this, Chen Mu's mouth curled up slightly. He turned his hand and handed Xiao Qi to the ground, letting it go and play by itself.

"It's not good for it to stay in the spirit beast bag for a long time. It will affect its growth rate."

"I'm going to have to practice hard for a while, so I'll let it experience this world on its own... I can also feed it from time to time."

After thinking of the plan, he took out the jade slip that recorded the secret method of Xiaoguishui Minglei and began to comprehend it.

Three days later, Chen Mu put away the jade slip, used his spiritual consciousness to probe into his dantian, and wrote the magic pattern on the water lotus.

Then he took out the jade bottle of thunder liquid and shook it gently. He found that the thunder liquid in the bottle kept surging with his movements, which was extremely agile.

Chen Mu nodded slightly, opened the cap of the jade bottle, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

"Crackling..."

As soon as he swallowed it, the lightning liquid became alive, pulsing in his mouth. However, if he felt it carefully, he realized that the living sensation was merely the tiny electric flashes emitted by the lightning liquid...

Chen Mu frowned slightly, and a tingling sensation rose as the thunder liquid slowly entered his meridians.

He didn't have time to experience this wonderful feeling, so he quickly used his magic power and, according to the records in the Xiaoguishui Minglei Secret Method, drove the thunder liquid carefully to condense on his right hand.

He didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, because the lightning liquid was an external object after all. If something went wrong, the lightning liquid would be wasted, but he didn't want to suffer the damage to his meridians...

It seems that the distance is not far, but the meridians must be maintained everywhere, so it takes much more effort.

After a while, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief as he felt a ball of thunder liquid in the meridians of his right hand.

"The next step will be much simpler..."

He used his spiritual consciousness to guide the lightning liquid and began to carve the lightning marks required for the spell.

As the curved trajectories passed by, the thunder liquid gradually merged into the surrounding meridians, and Chen Mu silently endured the constant numbness.

After a while, the thunder liquid in the meridians dissipated and the numbness suddenly stopped.

Chen Mu opened his eyes and looked over, only to see a faint curved lightning mark emerging on the back of his right hand. Staring intently, he could also find a hint of mysterious charm, as if it were natural.

It wasn't until an incense stick of time had passed that the lightning marks on the back of his hand disappeared.

Chen Mu shook his right hand, but felt nothing else.

"Give it a try..."

He walked out of the pavilion and came to a bluestone.

Then he lowered his eyes slightly, made a hand gesture with his right hand, and moved his lips constantly, uttering one obscure syllable after another.

After a moment, Chen Mu suddenly stopped and looked towards the bluestone.

In an instant, a water-colored dark thunder appeared above and fell towards the bluestone at lightning speed.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound was heard, and after two or three breaths, the bluestone seemed to have lost its support and suddenly collapsed.

Chen Mu took two steps forward and saw that except for a few pieces of gravel, the rest had turned into gray-black powder mixed with a lot of ice chips.

He was delighted and quickly squatted down to pick it up and examine it.

“Wet…”

"It seems that this is the characteristic produced by the combination of Xiaoguishui Minglei Secret Technique and Fanshui Technique."

"The water-colored dark thunder is invisible. If you don't look closely, it's easy to overlook it...
