Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 330: Retreat and Practice
"call!"

Seeing it nodding in agreement, the giant hand of cloud and mist suddenly dissipated.

"thump!"

Gui San was no longer restrained and fell directly into the lake. Taking this opportunity, it did not show its head again. Instead, it moved its four legs in turn and sank directly to the bottom of the lake.

Chen Mu smiled in his heart, but did not show it on his face. After turning around and giving instructions to Toad Xiaoqi, he walked back into the pavilion.

Xiaoqi has extraordinary bloodline and is a rare beast. It is much easier for him to advance to the realm of a great demon than for ordinary demon beasts.

So he wasn't too worried. As long as he practiced diligently and absorbed spiritual objects as he said, he might be able to break through before him...

In a quiet room.

Chen Mu sat cross-legged with dozens of bottles of second-grade top-grade Shan Ruo Dan placed in front of him. The spiritual energy gathered together and filled the entire quiet room in a moment.

In fact, among the spoils of war he had taken from killing several people from Feixing Dao Palace, there were also quite a few cultivation elixirs. However, due to the complexity of the types, he did not have the time to identify them one by one, so he simply put them aside for the time being and waited until he was free to check them again.

"The True Record of Dutian Water Palace... Late stage of foundation building..."

Chen Mu's eyes moved as he concentrated on comprehending the true meaning and key points of the martial arts.

"It's worthy of being the top-notch method that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage. Although it's only at the foundation-building stage, its sophistication is much stronger than the Middle-earth techniques..."

"According to what has been said, to practice this technique, one must also create a water palace in the dantian and condense a core source for it. Only then can one attain enlightenment upon breaking through the golden elixir realm..."

After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind and immediately closed his eyes, made hand gestures and dispersed his energy.

Just like the previous process, the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building slowly declined, and it only took half an hour to fall to the stage of foundation building.

Qi Condensation Thirteenth Level, Qi Condensation Eleventh Level...

As his realm continued to decline, Chen Mu's face became paler and paler.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and did not show any unusual expression at this time.

After another half an hour, the realm had dropped to the extreme and there was no place to go lower.

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes. With a slight change of hand gestures, the foundation of the original technique disappeared...

"call……"

He took a deep breath and immediately pointed.

The next moment, several streams of light flew up and were swallowed by him.

The first step is to refine the power of the elixir to improve your realm.

This is much simpler. The "Records of Dutian Shuifu" also contains a trick for refining elixirs.

Moreover, he already has a foundation in realm, and with sufficient elixirs, it won't take too long for him to return to the peak.

The pill entered his stomach and instantly split into three parts, rotating in the spiritual platform of his sea of ​​consciousness, the purple palace in his chest, and the dantian below his navel, scattering streams of extremely rich and pure spiritual energy, creating a state of three flowers gathering at the top of his head...

Chen Mu concentrated his mind again and drove the refined pure spiritual energy into the spirit pool, and in an instant it turned into extremely pure magic power.

Qi Condensation Level 1, Qi Condensation Level 6...

The speed of realm improvement is actually faster than the speed of decline.

However, this was also due to the temporarily low realm. After reaching the tenth level of Qi Condensation, the speed of improvement suddenly dropped.

For a moment, Chen Mu's entire body was wrapped in a water-blue mist, and a palm-sized water-colored vortex gradually formed in his dantian. The outline of the water palace, which had begun to take shape, could be vaguely seen.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his mind entered a state of oblivion, leaving only the feeling of swallowing and refining...

……

The years passed by, the sun and the moon turned mercilessly. In the blink of an eye, it had been a year since Chen Mu had been in seclusion to improve his skills.

It was a clear day, and the bright sunshine penetrated through the layers of fog, shining on the sparkling Ling Lake, reflecting a colorful scene.

"thump……"

From time to time, fish jump out of the water, splashing ripples.

If you look carefully, you can see that the demon fish jumping out of the water is very beautiful. Its purple scales all over its body are as hazy as clouds in the sky under the light.

And deep in the lake, where no one else could observe, a turtle and a toad lay quietly in the distance, motionless, except that their two pairs of eyes moved frequently, always following the fish swimming in the lake, their desire was beyond words.

"Little Toad, go, go, I'll stop some for you..."

Gui San kept encouraging Xiao Qi to take action, but his purpose was to get some share.

Ever since Chen Mu's warning, it hadn't dared to swallow the spirit fish itself. It was obvious that it was very afraid of being bled by Chen Mu...

Xiao Qi's eyes rolled, and his big mouth suddenly opened and closed. A spirit fish not far ahead was sucked into his stomach by his long tongue. The speed was so fast that even Gui San almost couldn't react.

"Don't just focus on eating by yourself, grab some for me..."

Gui San was watching Xiao Qi smacking his lips, and he felt itchy in his heart. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a shocking wave on the lake.

Its expression changed slightly, and it muttered, "Why come out at this time when you should come out earlier or later..."

In a quiet room.

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, and the fluctuations in his body quietly disappeared.

After a year, I finally succeeded in modifying the technique and got on the right track. From now on, I just need to practice step by step.

Feeling the appearance of the water palace on the Dantian Spirit Pool, he pursed his lips and smiled.

For some reason, the water palace described in the martial arts method should be at the bottom of the spirit pond, but his water palace appeared above the spirit pond, covering the mysterious water lotus.

What is even more strange is that the core source of the entire water palace has become a mysterious water lotus standing tall and straight.

However, this also saved him a lot of effort. Since no mistakes occurred, he just thought it was the peculiarity of the mysterious water lotus.

Anyway, after so many years, he is no longer surprised...

Chen Mu stood up and walked straight out of the quiet room.

"Not bad……"

After using his spiritual sense to investigate, he could not hide the fluctuations on Xiao Qi's body.

"The demonic energy has already condensed into a ball. It will probably not be long before it breaks through the tribulation."

He waved his hand to order the turtle and toad to retreat, and then returned to the quiet room.

"Wait until it is close to transcending the tribulation before coming out of seclusion. It will also be better to take it somewhere else so that it won't be too conspicuous in the sect."

After sitting cross-legged, Shan Ruodan was placed in front of him again.

He changed his technique, but he only had ten bottles left. Now he still had nearly twenty bottles. If he added the blood and energy sealed in the water lotus, maybe it could really sustain him until the late stage of foundation building.

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, and he immediately swallowed the pill into his stomach and began to refine it again.

However, this time he didn't devote his whole body and soul to practicing the technique. Instead, he would take some time to hone various techniques, as well as the escape techniques and soul attack techniques that he had recently acquired but had not yet practiced...

Perhaps it was because the two spells were of a high quality. After practicing them for several times, Chen Mu found that each one was more difficult than the last.

The art of escape was relatively easy, and after spending several months, he had barely gotten the hang of it. However, he still hadn't made much progress in the art of shaking the soul, and couldn't perform it.
