Chapter 150: Rapid Advancement! The Habitat of the Cold Water Buffalo Monster!

Cow wow cow wow!

Seeing the other party's actions, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

With just one talisman, at least a dozen Wind-Chasing Rabbits at the first foundation-building stage were injured.

And they were precise strikes, each one hitting the right hind leg, without any deviation.

Not to mention the damage, the miraculous accuracy alone is beyond reach.

Lin Mo did not waste the opportunity and snapped his fingers.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Small fireballs shot out from the fingertips like fireworks, accurately hitting the Wind-Chasing Rabbits on the ground that were temporarily unable to move.

[The Wind Chaser Rabbit has been killed.]

[The Wind Chaser Rabbit has been killed.]

【…】

As the killing notifications continued to reach their ears, these Wind-Chasing Rabbits were ruthlessly harvested before they could even move their legs.

"Fire-type magical power?"

The senior's voice sounded.

Lin Mo was a little surprised. He was discovered just by showing off his skills?
But on second thought, considering the other party's strength, it doesn't seem strange to recognize him.

"Nice magical power, you can go and make a pill explosion."

The other party did not have any extra thoughts about his magical powers. He just praised him and let him explode his pill.

Seeing that most of the Wind-Chasing Rabbits were almost dead, Lin Mo quickly took a few steps forward, pinched his Taoist formula, and used the Pill Explosion Technique on the burning corpses of the Wind-Chasing Rabbits.

"Puff puff……"

As slight explosions sounded, corpses exploded one after another.

However, when those ferocious beasts turned into spiritual energy and dissipated on the ground, nothing was left for Lin Mo.

"Didn't they say there's a chance of a beast pill popping up?"

Lin Mo was a little surprised when he looked at the empty mud ground.

"The probability is not that high!"

The senior explained:

"And your Exploding Dan Jutsu talent, right? If your proficiency is average, the probability will be even lower."

"We can follow this pattern and advance into the circles within the secret realm. You can also practice your general spells more."

As expected of a senior, you are so thoughtful... Lin Mo naturally did not refute, and bowed:
"Thank you very much, senior."

With someone leading the way, the subsequent exploration of the secret realm becomes very easy.

Although Lin Mo seemed to be alone, he was actually two people, advancing rapidly into the prairie.

From the dense grass around, there are always ferocious beasts in the early stage of foundation building, such as the Wind Chasing Rabbit.

Their way of dealing with it was also very simple and crude.

The talisman always leads the way and accurately hits the vital points of the ferocious beast.

Many times, Lin Mo didn't even need to take action himself, the seniors would deal with the ferocious beasts, and then he would be responsible for exploding the pills and collecting materials.

The whole process was not much more difficult than Lin Mo's journey through the Purple Bamboo Forest.

The most important thing is that this kind of open secret realm with someone to lead the way really saves time.

It took less than two hours for the two of them to cross the Green Grassland and reach the inner circle of the Linlang Secret Realm.

[Dazzling mountains].

Lin Mo looked at the more than ten Foundation Establishment period beast materials and two Wind-Chasing Rabbit beast cores in the ring, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

The materials for the foundation-building stage are much more valuable than those for the Qi-training stage. If the beast pills are included, even if I split it 70% with this senior, the round-trip expenses of the immortal boat can be offset.

And this is just the profit of two hours.

At this time, a baritone voice sounded in Lin Mo's ears:
"Well, how does talisman cultivation compare to sword cultivation?"

Still remember this...

Lin Mo smiled and said in a very supportive manner:

"Senior, you are naturally much stronger than ordinary sword cultivators. When I first came in, I was still worried whether the purpose of this trip could be achieved. Now I am relieved. With your strength, it is absolutely no problem for you to help me get a hundred or eighty cold cattle water pills!"

At least a fellow like Tu Guan can be hung up and beaten with just a talisman.

The senior snorted: "It's good that you know..."

At this point, he was stunned for a moment: "What did you say you want to brush? Cold Ox Water Pill?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Didn't Pan Peng say that? I'm here to get the Cold Ox Water Pill this time."

The other party was silent for a while, then asked: "Who told you that there is a cold water buffalo monster in the secret realm?"

"My teacher, senior, is there any problem?"

Lin Mo said so.

The first secret realm that the old man recommended to him that day was the Linlang Secret Realm, because in this secret realm one could find water-based spiritual creatures, which could improve his water spiritual root aptitude.

It is said that as long as you brush about a hundred or eighty of them, you can break through the 40% bottleneck and unlock the magical power of Kanshui.

But there seemed to be something wrong with this senior's reaction.

“Is there no cold water bull monster in the Linlang Secret Realm?”

Lin Mo asked in confusion, could it be that the old man was just talking nonsense?

"Yes, there is..."

The other party seemed a little hesitant: "It's just in the hinterland of the inner circle."

After hearing what the other party said, Lin Mo finally understood.

The habitat of the Cold Water Buffalo Monster is indeed in the secret realm, but it is in the inner circle.

The senior continued:

"I originally just wanted to take you around the outer circle to see what it's like. There are many beasts in the middle stage of foundation building in the inner circle, which are much more dangerous than those in the outer circle."

"Of course, if it's just a ferocious beast, it's nothing. You don't have to worry too much with me here."

"It's just that the terrain of the inner circle is mainly mountains and forests, with fog and miasma in between. It's easy for cultivators in the early stages of foundation building to get lost if they enter it..."

He described some of the key points of the inner circle one by one, and finally said:
"It's your choice whether to go or not."

Hearing this, Lin Mo, who holds the concept of "life safety is above all else", suddenly became serious.

After all, no matter how important spiritual objects are, they are not as important as life.

Lin Mo thought about it, and then took out his natal tortoise shell and asked:
[Is it appropriate to enter the inner circle of Linlang Secret Realm today? 】

With the sound of coins falling to the ground, the result of the hexagram came out, and it was another lucky number. This was the fourth time in a row that the hexagram had come out since the calculation began.

However, the final development of the matter did lead to a good result, just as the hexagram said.

"Senior, I still want to give it a try!"

Lin Mo said so.

"It's okay, that's fine."

The senior also noticed his tortoise shell and copper coins, and asked curiously:
"Are you fortune-telling? Aren't you a Dan practitioner? How can you do this?"

The concept of numerology is not something uncommon in the spiritual world.

Just like their talisman practice lineage, they also have many talismans used to calculate horoscopes.

The star-pointing talisman that Lin Mo used before was one of the mysterious talismans for deducing the horoscope.

However, divination, fortune-telling, and the Eight Trigrams...

These should be mysteries that only great practitioners can explore. How can Lin Mo, a mere cultivator at the first level of foundation building, perform divination?
Lin Mo smiled and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, senior. I'm not an alchemist, but a divination master from the Luoxing Peak lineage. Have you heard of me?"

"Falling Star Peak?"

The senior was stunned for a moment, then said: "I haven't heard of it..."

Even the Taoist masters don’t know?

Lin Mo was thinking in his heart.

"Are you sure about this result?"

"uncertain."

Lin Mo shook his head.

A total of four measurements were made, and there was indeed nothing wrong with the results of the first three measurements, but the sample size was too small to make an accurate judgment.

The senior didn't seem to believe his calculation results, but he still didn't reject his request and said:

"Okay, now that we've made the decision, let's go."

After saying that, he pinched out a talisman and turned it into a paper man.

At first glance, the paper figures look like real people.

But if you look closely at the texture of the other party's surface, you will find that his skin is as rough as paper. In his hand, he holds a "red tassel spear", which looks like an ancient general.

I heard a baritone voice:
"Don't worry, as long as you don't leave the three-meter range of this paper man, I can protect you!"

Senior is so domineering!

Lin Mo gave a thumbs up in his heart, then silently took a few steps towards the paper man.

"Hold on tight. If we want to kill the Frostwater Buffalo Monster, we have to speed up the pace. During this time, we have to pass through the habitats of several mid-to-late stage Foundation Building beasts. Try not to take the initiative."

The senior said so.

"it is good!"

Lin Mo said he understood and went into the village quietly without firing a gun.

"go!"

As the last word fell, the paper man holding a red tasseled spear rushed into the forest.

So fast, but it works!
Lin Mo's footsteps also moved along, rushing forward and sticking closely to the paper man, about ten feet away.

It neither affects the other party's shooting, nor ensures that if any accident occurs, you can quickly approach the other party and seek support.

"Huhu~!"

The dense jungle blocked the sun from the dome, and a cold breeze blew through the woods.

Compared with the comfortable temperature of the prairie outside, the secret realm in the inner circle is more gloomy and cold.

As soon as he walked in, Lin Mo saw the fog in the forest.

Fortunately, the paper man seemed to have an automatic cruise function. He moved gracefully to avoid the fog in the forest, and his footsteps on the fallen leaves did not make any sound.

It was just like a blank sheet of paper, floating lightly through the woods, without even disturbing the small animals in the forest.

Under the guidance of the paper man, Lin Mo was able to successfully step into the mountains in the inner circle of the secret realm.

The group shuttled quickly through the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed.

"Nice steps, have you practiced walking?"

The senior's voice sounded again.

Compared to Lin Mo's tense expression, his voice sounded much more relaxed.

"Yes, I have practiced two."

"I know quite a variety of techniques, fire and lightning techniques, but I also know sword techniques..."

"Senior, what did you say?"

"nothing."

He said:
"Don't be too nervous. This paper man of mine at least has the strength of a mid-stage foundation-building physical cultivator. Although I can't reach the physique of a physical cultivator, my attack is just as good. If something unexpected happens, I can delay it for a while."

Hearing this, Lin Mo's expression relaxed slightly, but he still followed closely behind the paper man, while being wary of the ferocious beasts in the forest.

Unlike the outer circle, from the moment he stepped into these mountains, he could feel a breath of air that far exceeded his own level of cultivation.

Not to mention their combat power, the strength of these ferocious beasts at least surpasses his own.

Is the information given by this old man reliable? Didn’t he say that the Linlang Secret Realm is simple and suitable for me to be the first one to attack?

Lin Mo complained in his heart.

If it weren't for this senior from Huiling Academy leading him, perhaps he would never have stepped into the inner circle this time.

It would be fine if there were only one or two of these ferocious beasts, but if you are surrounded by them, it would be difficult to escape, not to mention that there is fog in the forest that can make people lost.

At this moment, the voice of the senior came:

"By the way, how did you know that there was a cold water bull monster in this inner circle?"

Lin Mo collected his thoughts and replied, "My teacher told me. He must have learned it when he was traveling before."

The senior over there was silent and didn't say anything.

Lin Mo asked in confusion: "What's wrong, senior? Is there any problem?"

I heard someone say in a leisurely tone:
"The habitat of the Cold Water Bull Monster is a brand new leveling point that was opened by a disciple of the academy using a purple spiritual key he obtained three months ago."

Three months ago?

Lin Mo was stunned, and the other party continued:

"Moreover, this news was only circulated among a very small number of disciples in the Huiling Academy. No more than 10 people knew about it. How did your teacher know about it..."
