Chapter 151: Refining the Cold Water Pill! Spiritual roots are improving! (Subscribe)

Faced with the other party's question, Lin Mo didn't know how to answer.

How do I know this?
The old man knows the internal secrets of the academy so well, could it be that he has planted spies in Huiling Academy?

Lin Mo said uncertainly: "Calculated it?"

I thought this reason was ridiculous enough, but the other party actually believed it immediately.

"I see……"

The senior said in a low voice, seeming to be very convinced by this reason.

"Then Senior, is this water pill still available?"

I originally thought I could get a big advantage, but I didn't expect it to be a "treasure land" explored by the other party.

If he goes to swipe it, wouldn't he be stealing other people's achievements on their territory?

"Brush! Why aren't you brushing!"

The senior said:

"No one uses that thing, and..."

"Well, that was brushed out by one of my own juniors. She has discarded it. You can do with it as you please, even if you brush all those buffaloes."

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously:
"Isn't the Cold Water Pill a spiritual object that can improve spiritual roots? Why is it discarded?"

When he mentioned this, the senior's voice suddenly rose a notch:
"It's all because of me... that junior. He found out that this spiritual item is like a chicken rib. It can only work on water spiritual roots below 60%, and has no effect on heavenly spiritual roots."

"Moreover, even if this kind of spiritual object is thrown into the Painted Spirit Academy, no one will want it, and it can't be sold at a high price. The talismans used to kill the Frost Water Buffalo Monster are more expensive than the spiritual object..."

After he finished complaining, he asked, "By the way, little friend Lin, why did you get this spiritual object?"

"..." Lin Mo was silent for a moment and then said, "Improve your water spiritual root aptitude."

senior:"……"

"I thought you had dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, but I didn't expect you had triple spiritual roots."

The senior said so.

The reason is very simple, because of the thunder and fire magic demonstrated by Lin Mo.

The thunder attribute is derived from the Yang Wood of the Wood Element.

Therefore, cultivators with wood spiritual roots can also practice some thunder techniques that do not have very strict requirements.

The strength of Lin Mo's Heavenly Thunder Curse does not seem to be a mutant attribute, so he should have a wood-type spiritual root.

He thought his deduction was correct and continued:

"I heard from Pan Peng that when you first entered the Lingxu Realm, you won ninety consecutive victories on the sword arena and even defeated a sword servant at the third level of foundation building..."

"It is truly invaluable that he was able to do this with the talent of three spiritual roots."

Among the nine major academies, the three types of spiritual roots are definitely the lowest qualifications.

Whether or not one can enter the Nine Daoist Academies depends on luck, not to mention defeating those powerful disciples of the Nine Daoist Academies.

Lin Mo was silent for a while: "Senior, I have five elements spiritual roots..."

“…” The senior was also silenced.

After a moment, his voice came, as if he was talking to himself:

"There are actually people with five elements spiritual roots in Jiudaoyuan..."

Lin Mo's qualifications are so poor that it is incomprehensible.

The key point is that the information I learned from Pan Peng is that Lin Mo is still a recommended student.

The students recommended for admission to the nine major academies either have natural spiritual roots or mutated spiritual roots, so how could they have five elements spiritual roots?
The atmosphere suddenly fell into awkwardness...

The awkward atmosphere was not broken until a Level 2 ferocious beast suddenly attacked from the side with a roar.

"Roar!!"

A fierce-looking swamp crocodile suddenly jumped out from the undetectable black swamp.

Before Lin Mo could make a move, the big paper man in front of him held a red tasseled spear and poked it hard into the crocodile's eyes.

"sulfuric acid!"

There was a metallic sound from the spear's vibration, and the crocodile was nailed to the ground, unable to move at all.

Then, the paper man poked the crocodile with his spear, and the crocodile was flipped over.

"Lin Mo, it's your turn."

As soon as the baritone sounded, Lin Mo's Fire Separation Ability was already in use.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Three consecutive flaming bullets were fired, directly hitting the crocodile's exposed weak abdomen.

"Woo~"

The crocodile let out two screams, and then gradually lost its life under the burning flames.

[The swamp black crocodile has been killed. ]

A moment later, the big crocodile was burned to death by Lin Mo.

"Exploding Pill Technique!"

Lin Mo skillfully explained the process to the other party.

I thought nothing would explode, but unexpectedly a beast pill emitting a faint glow suddenly appeared on the open space where the corpse had exploded.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand forward and used the technique of capturing objects!

[Obtained the Black Crocodile Beast Pill (Level 2, mid-quality). ]

A black beast pill appeared in his hand.

The senior's voice sounded:
"The beast pill can be taken directly to increase your cultivation, or it can be handed over to an alchemist to be made into a cultivation pill."

Lin Mo nodded.

After all, he had also refined pills with Zhuang Weiwan, so he naturally knew that beast pills were the basic materials for cultivation pills.

Taiqing Pill is a second-level cultivation pill made from the inner elixir of a ferocious beast called Lingbaihe.

Lin Mo did not put it into the storage ring, but held up the half-fist-sized inner elixir and said to the senior:

"I have already collected many materials before, please accept this beast pill."

The value of a second-grade medium-quality beast pill is almost equal to the materials mentioned above.

"I don't need it, you can keep it."

The senior's voice continued: "It was fate that brought us together. No need to be polite..."

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Mo quickly put it into the ring.

He is not the kind of person who pretends to be polite...

The senior coughed and said, "We are almost at the territory of the Cold Water Bull Monster. Follow closely, this is close to the core layer."

After hearing this, Lin Mo increased his concentration again, paying attention to the dangers that might appear around him at any time.

Sure enough, the deeper we went into the mountains and jungles, the thicker the surrounding fog became and the lower the visibility became.

The paper man can no longer avoid all the ferocious beast leveling points, because there are almost no areas here that are not leveling points.

"Shh!"

"sulfuric acid!"

"Oh!"

"..."

As the spear continued to swing, Lin Mo also kept up with the rhythm, using the Fire Divine Ability to continuously kill the ferocious beasts that were swarming around him.

About half an hour later, under the guidance of the paper man, Lin Mo finally broke through the layers of fog and arrived at the cold water pool at the end of the jungle.

He looked over and saw that the surface of the cold water pool was as calm as a mirror and the water was clear enough to let one see the bottom. However, perhaps because it was too cold, there was a thin layer of mist floating on the water.

"Moo~!"

The cry of a cow attracted Lin Mo's attention, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

The size of the ox-beast is much larger than that of ordinary cattle. It is at least two meters tall, and its fur is light gray. Under the reflection of the cold water, its fur glows like silver.

It has a huge head and its horns are curved and sharp, like two natural battle axes.

"Moo moo~"

The bull beast ignored the sudden uninvited guest and rolled around comfortably beside the cold water pool, stirring up clouds of mud.

"This is the Cold Water Bull Monster. Its fur is as hard as iron. The bull monsters in the Cold Water Pool are extremely durable!"

The senior's voice sounded like this:
"I will assist you in this battle, but you will still be the main output!"

Lin Mo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Senior!"

Since we are going down the mountain to gain experience, it is not okay to just rely on others to win.

So what if the bull demon has a higher level of cultivation? Isn’t he afraid of fire?

"Okay, let's start with this bull monster."

As soon as he finished speaking, two talismans were thrown out.

With a "swish" sound, two more paper people appeared in front of him.

One of them held a shield and a dagger, and the other held a sledgehammer.

Without a doubt, there are three more "physical cultivators".

When three tall and strong paper figures stood in front of Lin Mo, the latter suddenly felt a sense of security.

"You can start now. I suggest you lure it out of the pool before focusing fire."

The senior said in a deep voice: "But the bull demon has a very stubborn temper. Sometimes, even if you kill it, it may not come out."

"Ah? Such a stubborn one?" Lin Mo was quite surprised, but asked in confusion: "Senior, have you ever fought a bull monster? How do you know so much about it?"

The senior coughed and said, "I haven't brushed it, but I heard my junior talk about it."

Lin Mo said, "Oh!", rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Then let's try it first."

After saying that, he raised his hand and threw several fireballs at the Cold Water Bull Monster.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fireball hit the bull monster's big head accurately and exploded.

"Moo~!"

The bull demon swung its tail impatiently, causing ripples on the water.

However, the injuries on its head were very limited. Only some fur was burned, and its roots were not damaged at all.

How could this happen?
Lin Mo looked surprised.

The damage of his Fire Separation Divine Ability is equivalent to that of a 2nd level lower grade perfection spell. If it hits directly, it can cause considerable damage to a person in the middle stage of foundation building.

This has already been demonstrated in the battle just now.

"Senior, what level of foundation building is this bull monster at?"

Lin Mo asked doubtfully.

"Only at the fifth level of foundation building, but with thick skin and flesh, comparable to the late stage of foundation building."

The senior said: "Moreover, the cold water in the cold water pool can not only increase its defense, but also heal its injuries. If you don't continue to output, its injuries will be healed."

When Lin Mo heard this, he noticed that as the bull demon swung its tail, the cold water sprinkled on his forehead, and the burning marks faded a lot.

Can this pool of water really heal injuries?
Lin Mo fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the senior was the first to become unable to sit still.

"Forget it, just watch for now, I'll take care of this bull monster."

The senior didn't waste any words and immediately controlled several paper figures whose cultivation level was the fifth level of foundation building to rush towards the weapon.

"Bang bang bang!"

The long spear and the big hammer ruthlessly chopped at the bull monster, and the scene was extremely bloody at one point.

A few minutes later……

"Last hit!"

The senior said so.

Lin Mo fired a fireball, sending away the dying Cold Water Bull Monster lying beside the pool.

[The cold water bull monster has been killed. ]

He stretched out his hand again and used the Dan Explosion Technique!

"puff!"

The body of the cold water bull monster turned into spiritual energy and dissipated into the air. Then an inner elixir emitting a faint blue-green glow appeared by the edge of the pool.

Lin Mo quickly reached out his hand and took it.

[Obtained 1 Cold Ox Water Pill. 】

Feeling the cool touch of the water pill in his palm, Lin Mo was surprised:
"Are you so lucky that the first one is shipped?"

The senior's voice sounded at the right time: "This has nothing to do with luck. The cold water bull monster is different from ordinary beasts. No, to be precise, the entire cold water pool is different from other leveling points..."

After listening to this, Lin Mo realized that the Cold Water Pool was a "hidden copy" opened with the purple spiritual key.

These cold water bull monsters are also the only ferocious beasts, and they will not reappear after being killed.

Therefore, the probability of them revealing inner elixirs is extremely high.

"A reward equivalent to a spiritual key?"

Lin Mo said.

"Humph, what kind of reward is this? These bull monsters are very difficult to kill, and the spiritual creatures are just average."

The senior just finished speaking and added:
"My soul has left my body, so I don't have many tricks to use. Otherwise, I could easily overturn this pool."

Lin Mo looked at the water pill in his hand. As a spiritual object that could improve the aptitude of spiritual roots, it could not be described as mediocre at best.

But for some of the Taoist geniuses, it is indeed a piece of chicken ribs that is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

"This water pill does not need to be refined, you can just take it directly."

The senior continued to speak to him, with a hint of inquiry in his tone, as if he wanted to see whether he really had the five elements spiritual roots, and the purity of his water spiritual roots was not even 40%.

After hearing this, Lin Mo didn't hesitate and put it into his mouth. With a "gulp", he swallowed the inner elixir that tasted like jelly into his stomach.

[Ding! You have swallowed 1 Water Pills (Yellow Level Spiritual Items), and are refining them...]

He felt a chill rising in his body, his brows slightly furrowed, and he quickly sat cross-legged by the pool and began to practice the Five Five Spirit Immortal Technique.

"Sit upright, unmoving. Relax, calm, empty and focused, and practice the Great Dan Gong..."

As the technique circulated in his body, Lin Mo also felt the water pill being continuously refined in his body.

The senior looked at him curiously as he saw a faint blue light emanating from his body. It seemed that he was really improving his spiritual roots!

Does this guy really have the five elements spiritual roots?

While he was wondering, Lin Mo was frantically refining spiritual objects.

As he possesses the Five Spirits Dao Body, his speed in refining water pills is beyond imagination.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Han Niu Shui Dan was completely refined in his body.

【Ding! Skill experience +100. 】

[Ding! The water pill has been refined. The purity of the water element spirit root has been increased: 39.1%→39.4%]

The effect is so good that they actually just added 0.3%.

Not only that, it can also increase your cultivation.

Lin Mo showed joy on his face. He didn't expect that the effect of a water pill was equivalent to a hundred drops of [Essence of Leakage].

Come to think of it, Shuidan is considered a yellow-level spiritual object after all.

"In this case, at least two more pills won't be enough to break through the 40% threshold!"

Lin Mo felt a surge of heat in his heart.

At the same time, the sounds of cows mooing pierced through the layers of fog and reached my ears.

Lin Mo raised his head and looked forward, only to see a number of large cow heads floating in the middle of the pool.

It turned out that these cold water bull monsters were swimming in a pool not far away from the beginning, but they were revealed because they were obscured by fog.

A deep baritone voice came:

"These bull monsters are all in the pool. The paper man cannot enter the water, so it is difficult to force them to come ashore. If you still want to continue hunting, you will have to wait."

Lin Mo pondered and said, "Can't we just beat them out?"

"Heh, you can try it."

The senior chuckled.

Lin Mo also recalled the scene just now. Even if the Cold Water Ox Demon was hit head-on, it would rather continue to stay in the pool than rush towards him.

He was a little skeptical, so he stood by the pool and fired a few fireballs into it.

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

The fireball exploded on the water surface, and although it caused a lot of waves, the damage caused was very limited.

A few unlucky cold water buffalo monsters were hit on the forehead and only mooed twice before sinking into the pool.

After a while, when they surfaced again, the wound on their foreheads had almost healed.

Lin Mo stopped and looked a little troubled.

into the water?

That must be impossible!

The Cold Water Ox Demon just doesn't want to come out of the water, not that it has no intention of attacking.

The few paper figures who had just entered the pool and fought with the cold water bull monster had several holes in their bodies caused by the bull's horns.

Even a paper figurine with the fifth level of foundation building cultivation is like this, let alone Lin Mo who is at the first level of foundation building.

If your intestines are ruptured by a bull's horn in the water, it will be difficult to save you.

He had no choice but to follow the advice of his predecessors, hide in the nearby jungle, control his breath, and wait for the cold water buffalo monster to come ashore.

About half an hour later...

"Moo~!"

A bull demon walked slowly from the pool to the edge and nibbled on the moss on the pebbles.

"on!"

Following the order from the senior, paper figures A, B and C rushed forward with spears and knives in hand, and started to chase and attack again.

Finally, in Lin Mo's fireball, the buffalo ended its leisurely life of playing in the water.

[Obtained 1 Cold Ox Water Pill. 】

He did not hesitate and refined it on the spot. After a moment, a prompt came:

【Ding! Skill experience +100. 】

[Ding! The water pill has been refined. The purity of the water element spirit root has been increased: 39.4%→39.7%]

The effect of the second water pill is still very strong!
However, looking at the bull monsters who didn't care about the lives of their companions and were still swimming in the pool and didn't want to go ashore at all, Lin Mo suddenly realized that this should be a protracted battle.

While Lin Mo was waiting for the buffalo to come ashore, a video about him and a discussion about him were also launched in the Qingshan Sect...
