Chapter 154: The Secret Realm of Qibao Pavilion! The Choice of Wooden Door!

[Kanshui Magical Power (Foundation Building·Beginning)]: 0/3000
The panel of [Lihuo Shentong] is almost carved out of the same template.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo finally decided to put aside the [Kanshui Divine Power] for the time being and refine the water pills in front of him first.

He raised his hand slightly, and swallowed the inner pills into his stomach again, and his skills started to work again.

[Ding! You have swallowed 10 Water Pills (Yellow Level Spiritual Items), and are refining them...]

what! ?

Lin Mo was surprised.

The refining speed of water pills has increased!
Is this the effect of Kanshui's magical power?

No, it could also be the effect of the water element spiritual root being enhanced...

In short, after breaking through the bottleneck period, Lin Mo's speed of refining water pills increased by at least 20% to 30%.

As batch after batch of water pills were swallowed into his stomach, the speed of refining the water pills continued to increase.

However, in contrast, the effect of the water pill can also increase from 0.3% at the beginning, and then drop to 0.2%, 0.1%, or even lower...

I don't know how much time passed. As the last water pill was refined, a message came to my ears:

[Ding! The water pill has been refined. The purity of the water element spirit root has been increased: 47.99%→48%]

Lin Mo looked at the empty ground with lingering satisfaction. It was truly a refreshing upgrade!

On average, each water pill increased the spiritual root purity by nearly 0.17%.

Although compared to the Heaven-level Fire Seed which directly increased the progress by more than ten points, the Water Pill of the Yellow-level Spirit Object is much weaker.

But the Water Pills were better because there were enough of them. After taking fifty Water Pills in total, they also brought good returns, although the effect of the last Water Pill was basically zero...

Finally, of course, it is cultivation.

Fifty inner pills of the Cold Water Buffalo Demon added a total of five thousand points to his cultivation!

You should know that for foundation-building cultivators, the most effective elixir for cultivation is the top-grade Taiqing Pill, each of which only adds 100 points of experience points.

Moreover, the effect will continue to decrease if taken in excess.

But even after taking the fiftieth water pill, it was still far from reaching its maximum effect.

Lin Mo's skill experience bar also skyrocketed:

[Foundation 1st level]: 10100/20000
If he had another hundred water pills, he would be able to advance directly to the second level of foundation building.

"No wonder everyone likes to clear secret realms so much. The rewards from clearing a secret realm are so rich..."

Lin Mo said in his heart.

If other people heard his inner thoughts, they would probably criticize him harshly.

Most of the ordinary disciples who went down the mountain for training for the first time would end up spending more than they earned.

Many cannot even earn back their transportation costs, and may even lose a lot of money.

Those who can balance income and expenditure are considered experienced.

To be able to make a fortune in the secret realm, one must be experienced and strong.

By analogy, the chance of making huge profits like Lin Mo is extremely small, even for those with extraordinary luck.

Lin Mo slowly stopped practicing his skills, opened his eyes, and saw several paper figures guarding him.

"senior?"

He called out tentatively.

"exist."

A deep baritone voice sounded.

He asked, "What do we do next..."

"Try to hide the mirage."

"what?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the senior: "I say, try to hide the mirage, if you encounter an opportunity, then split it in half."

Lin Mo was a little surprised that the other party was willing to share the orange spiritual key.

Zundu and fake toot?

You're not testing me, are you?
"No temptation, don't worry."

The other party said so.

Lin Mo was shocked. What was going on? Could he read minds?
"I can't read minds, but my perception is more acute than that of ordinary people."

And you said you can't read!

Lin Mo no longer dared to complain in his heart. He paused and said:

"Emm... Senior, why don't you send me out first? This secret realm is too difficult for me to experience."

The other party asked, "Are you worried that I will commit murder and robbery in the secret realm?"

No, I'm worried... Don't think about it, don't think about it.

Lin Mo coughed:
"Of course not. Senior has worked hard to bring me here. I am already very satisfied. One should not be too greedy."

Senior: “Haha.”

Lin Mo: “…”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

After a moment, the senior said:

"If I wanted to take your money and kill you, I could have done it in countless moments just now."

That’s true... Lin Mo nodded, acknowledging this point, otherwise he wouldn’t have continued to refine the water pill with peace of mind after getting it.

After all, the result of the divination was still [auspicious], so he had a natural trust in this senior.

The senior continued:

"Of course, you can understand it as helping me explore the secret realm. After all, my real body is not here, and there are limits to what my spirit can do."

I was hired to work...

Lin Mo suddenly realized, why didn’t you say it earlier!

He cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'd better obey your command respectfully!"

The senior hummed and said, "Okay, then you will open the spiritual key. I have studied it just now. You only need to untie the knot to open the hidden mirage."

After saying that, he added: "Don't worry, it's not a trap, not even close. It's just that this thing must be opened by the monk himself, and cannot be opened by a paper man."

It was embarrassing... Lin Mo was about to refuse, but the other party predicted it. Helplessly, he could only walk forward, and after thinking for a moment, he chose to untie the knot.

The next second, the knot released a clear and transparent light, instantly enveloping him completely.

Then, he felt as if he was embraced by the ocean, and a warm feeling of water wrapped around his whole body.

The warmth makes people feel extremely comfortable. They just want to wander freely in this seemingly endless sea, and a feeling of sleepiness gradually comes over them.

Just before his consciousness fell into darkness, he seemed to see a little blonde girl with twin ponytails. His consciousness was a little dazed. Am I dreaming?
Then, no more...

After an unknown amount of time, he finally woke up from his dream.

"Damn it, how could there be a Jindan-stage physical cultivator in this maze..."

A childish voice like a silver bell came into Lin Mo's ears.

Who? Who is talking?!

He opened his eyes dazedly and saw a delicate-looking loli with twin ponytails and skin as white as snow standing sideways in front of him, looking into the distance with a nervous expression.

Lin Mo rubbed his eyes and muttered:

"Am I still dreaming?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed to alarm the little loli in front of him.

When she saw Lin Mo waking up, her expression was obviously a little flustered. She quickly shrank into the corner, trying to stay out of his sight.

Unfortunately, this glass-like wonderland, seemingly boundless, is actually less than ten square meters in size.

No matter where she stayed, she could not escape Lin Mo's sight.

The latter gradually woke up from his daze, rubbed his eyes, and made sure he was not dreaming.

"Is this the hidden mirage?" He looked around.

What meets the eye is the boundless sea shining with seven colors, but when you reach out to touch it, you can only feel a coldness, and when you go deeper into a certain stage, you will encounter a strong counter-thrust.

Lin Mo stood up curiously and looked around, only to find that except for a wooden door that looked like an exit, other places were basically the same "reverse mirrors".

It can reflect the boundless ocean, but it cannot step into it.

"senior?"

He called out tentatively into the empty room.

The loli huddled in the corner with her back to him, her shoulders trembling slightly, and then she buried her head deeper.

Not here anymore?
Could it be that he went out first?

Lin Mo touched his chin, thinking in his heart, looking at the silent little Lolita who was facing the wall, and spoke again:

"Little sister, have you seen some tall and strong paper man uncles?"

When the little Loli heard this title, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but in the end she bit her lip and said nothing.

"Still shy?"

Lin Mo squatted down, smiled at the cute girl, and said in a soft voice:
"Brother is not a bad person. Can you tell me how you got here? And where is this place?"

The little Loli didn't say anything, but buried her head even deeper.

It shouldn't be...

Lin Mo looked at her reaction and felt it was a little strange.

He is usually the most popular among little girls.

Since childhood, the little girls in the village with ponytails and snot bubbles liked to follow him around, and he couldn't drive them away even if he tried to chase them away.

This hasn't changed even as I've grown up.

There is no way, this is the lethality of appearance.

Didn’t expect that there would be a day when it would fail?
Lin Mo took a look at the strange little loli with twin ponytails, but didn't bother with her too much. He stood up and prepared to walk out the door.

"Eh!"

The loli with twin ponytails stretched out her hand to stop him, but saw that the other party had already stepped over the threshold and walked out.

This guy, how could he be so reckless!

She felt ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to stand up and follow him out.

As soon as Lin Mo walked out, he saw two doors appear in front of him, and at the same time a prompt came into his ears:

[Ding! You have entered the secret realm of Qibao Pavilion. Please choose your route.]

【Tips: Choosing the right door will reduce the difficulty. 】

Seeing this hint, a hint of enlightenment flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

Choose left or right, isn’t this a maze-like secret realm?

He had seen a similar secret realm mode in the Secret Realm Collection before. This only had two doors to choose from, which was relatively simple in the maze secret realm, but...

There's no clue here?

Lin Mo looked around and found that this room was slightly larger than the previous one, but it was still the same as the previous room. There was nothing in it except the boundless and untouchable ocean.

He stood behind the two doors and thought.

At this time, the little Loli behind him spoke in a soft and timid voice:

"Well... well, you can't just choose randomly. If you choose the wrong one, you'll run into a big crisis..."

Lin Mo turned around, looked at her and laughed.

So he is still a social phobic?
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch the other's soft face and said, "Don't worry, only children make choices, adults..."

The little girl's eyes were filled with more obvious shame and anger, but she did not stop him. She said timidly, "Well, you can't choose all of them."

"Who told you to select all?"

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "I mean, adults naturally choose to cheat."

In the surprised eyes of the little Lolita, Lin Mo sacrificed his own life object——

Tortoise shell.

After a brief thought, he stood in front of the door on the left and cast a divination:
[Is it appropriate to enter this door today? ]

"Dingling bell~!"

The copper coin shook briefly in the tortoise shell, then fell to the ground crisply.

It is the dark side, and the result is also refreshed: [Unlucky].
