Chapter 19: Rapid Progress

Back in the courtyard, Lin Mu went straight to the quiet room.

After locking the doors and windows, Lin Mu flashed into the Xuanyue space.

Put a cushion in the hut and sit cross-legged on it.

Take out a bottle of Juling Pill, Lin Mu pours out a pill and swallows it. Then he closes his eyes and concentrates to refine the medicinal power in the pill.

Lin Mu uses the inner vision technique to check the situation in his body.

As soon as the Juling Pill entered his stomach, Lin Mu felt a group of heat rising from his lower abdomen. Lin Mu hurriedly circulated the "Nine Directions Heart Method" to let the heat flow slowly with the spiritual power in his body. Every time it circulates a cycle, the heat flow weakens a bit and transforms into the spiritual power in his body.

After two cycles, the warm feeling disappeared and the spiritual power returned to the dantian.

Lin Mu found that the spiritual power in his dantian was no longer the thin gas as before. The gas that was almost invisible had slowly become thicker.

After refining pills for half a month, his spiritual power was constantly consumed and recovered. After training, his spiritual power increased a lot, and he was not far from the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Lin Mu poured out another pill of Gathering Spirit Pill, swallowed it into his stomach, and continued to refine it.

The spiritual power in his body increased slowly but steadily, more and more.

In one day, Lin Mu took a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill, and the increase in spiritual power in his body was considerable.

In the past, this was a treatment that he could only enjoy once a month.

Now, Lin Mu has enough pills, so he naturally doesn't care about this, just hurry up to refine it.

Five days later, Lin Mu found that his spiritual power had reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining. As long as he broke through the bottleneck, he could enter the sixth level of Qi Refining.

However, Lin Mu tried three times in a row and failed to advance.

Lin Mu no longer deliberately attacked, and continued to take Gathering Spirit Pill to increase his spiritual power. But because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, his spiritual power increased very slowly. In the past, Lin Mu must have practiced slowly to seek a breakthrough.

But this time, Lin Mu made drastic efforts to refine the Soul Gathering Pill. Although his cultivation level had always been at the fifth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual energy in his body became more and more concentrated.

After another five days, the spiritual energy in Lin Mu's body had accumulated to a certain extent, and taking the Soul Gathering Pill almost stopped increasing. At this time, Lin Mu launched another attack on the sixth level of Qi Refining.

To his surprise, the process was extremely smooth.

The bottleneck of the fifth level of Qi Refining was broken by itself, and he entered the sixth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

Lin Mu was somewhat happy. After entering the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was more confident. He was able to fight Ma Huayuan again.

Lin Mu did not slack off. He took the Soul Gathering Pill again and continued to refine it, hoping that his cultivation level could be quickly improved and advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

After breaking through the bottleneck, the effect of the Soul Gathering Pill appeared again, and the spiritual energy increased rapidly.

But two days later, Lin Mu took the initiative to stop taking the Soul Gathering Pill.

He found that there were some problems with himself.

The spiritual energy in his body was a little frivolous and out of his control. To be precise, it was Lin Mu who could not control his spiritual power.

The rapid progress of his cultivation made Lin Mu no longer as familiar with his spiritual power as before. Now, he felt that the spiritual power in his body was very unfamiliar.

Sometimes he wanted his spiritual power to run slower, but it was contrary to his wishes, and the speed of his spiritual power suddenly increased.

After Lin Mu pondered hard, he realized that it was the result of his greed and recklessness.

If he wanted to regain the feeling of controlling his spiritual power in the past, he would need some time to adapt to the spiritual power in his body.

Lin Mu stopped practicing, exited the Xuanyue space, and came to the courtyard. It was already night, a crescent moon floated in the night sky, and the stars were shining.

Sitting by the fish pond, Lin Mu decided to practice the five elements to familiarize himself with the spiritual power in his body.

Lin Mu has already learned three of the "Basic Five Elements Techniques", "Gengjin Jue", "Bishui Jue", and "Chihuo Jue". Lin Mu has not yet learned the remaining two techniques, "Caomu Jue" and "Hou Tu Jue".

Lin Mu did not hesitate much when deciding which spell to learn first.

He chose the Thick Earth Spell this time. The reason is very simple. Ma Huayuan learned the fire spell "Fireball Spell" in the Five Elements Spell, while the Grass and Wood Spell belongs to the Wood Spell. Most of the Wood Spells have no attack power. In addition, wood can make fire. Learning the Grass and Wood Spell is tantamount to drawing fire and falling into a trap.

Lin Mu is naturally not that stupid. As an earth spell, the Thick Earth Spell has a weak attack power, but it has a good defense.

Lin Mu wanted to gradually become familiar with the spiritual power in his body and use it flexibly by practicing the Thick Earth Spell.

After carefully reading the contents of the Basic Five Elements Spell, Lin Mu began to practice the Thick Earth Spell.

The first level of the Thick Earth Spell is not difficult to practice. Lin Mu has learned it in just one day. This shows how terrifying his talent in the Five Elements Spell is.

In the past, Lin Mu did not use all his strength to practice the spell. For example, when performing the third level of the "Green Water Art", he can perform it seven or eight times in a row without any problem. But if he performs it with all his strength, he can only perform it twice at most. Now that his cultivation has advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, he can perform it three times, and there is still a little left.

But the first level of the "Thick Earth Art", Lin Mu can perform it continuously for a whole night, because the consumption of spiritual power is too small, and the spiritual power in the body can be restored by itself.

This is the difference in power.

Lin Mu practiced "Thick Earth Art" in the courtyard every night and practiced in the Xuanyue Space during the day.

He had stopped taking the Gathering Spirit Pill and practiced normally every day. Although the speed of his cultivation progress was not as fast as taking the Gathering Spirit Pill, Lin Mu could control the spiritual power obtained in this way.

Half a month later, Lin Mu's "Thick Earth Art" advanced to the second level. At this time, he was able to skillfully control the spiritual power in his body.

Lin Mu began to retreat again this time.

"Thick Earth Art" was put aside first, and he entered the Xuanyue Space, took the Gathering Spirit Pill, and practiced with all his strength.

Every ten days or so, Lin Mu took a pill of Bigu Pill to keep his physical strength sufficient.

Most of the time, Lin Mu used it to practice. He took the Gathering Spirit Pill day and night. The spiritual energy gas in his dantian increased rapidly every day, and his cultivation level rose.

A month later, Lin Mu withdrew from the Xuanyue Space.

This time, his temperament changed a lot compared to before.

He looked weak and vulnerable before, but now he is like a sharp sword, shining brightly, making people afraid to approach him. Lin Mu restrained himself a little, and his aura disappeared, becoming the same honest man as before.

In this month, his cultivation has made great progress. It only took one month for his cultivation to advance again.

Qi Refining Level 7!

In just half a year, Lin Mu advanced from the original Qi Refining Level 3 to Qi Refining Level 7, leaping four levels in a row. No one in Qianyu Sword Sect can match him.

Those talented disciples can only advance four levels in a year.

But with this Xuanyue Pendant, Lin Mu knew that he could definitely follow them closely.

The outer disciples who entered the sect with Lin Mu now have the highest cultivation level of only Qi Refining Level 7.

Now he is a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator, and can serve as a deacon disciple in the sect. No one dares to insult him casually anymore. From today on, he decided to regain his dignity.

The first person he wanted to deal with was Ma Huayuan, the one who had pushed him into a dead end.

If there was no Xuanyue Pendant, Lin Mu would have died without a burial place, so how could he have a chance to turn over.

Before that, he still had to practice the "Thick Earth Art" as before to slowly familiarize himself with the spiritual power in his body.

After a month of continuous drug practice, the spiritual power became unfamiliar again.

But Lin Mu did not start practicing the "Thick Earth Art" immediately, because the spiritual herbs in the Xuanyue space had matured again.

This time the harvest was more abundant than the previous two times combined.

After collecting all the spiritual herbs, Lin Mu prepared a total of 300 materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, which made him overjoyed.

Using the Earth Spirit Hoe to plow the six acres of spiritual field, Lin Mu still planted all the spiritual herbs as he did last time.

After finishing these, Lin Mu exited the Xuanyue space.

Practice the "Thick Earth Art" in the courtyard every day to familiarize himself with the spiritual power in his body.

This time, he was familiar with the route, and the Thick Earth Art was about to advance to the third level, so Lin Mu quickly became familiar with the spiritual power in his body.

After more than ten days, Lin Mu's Thick Earth Art advanced again and reached the third level.

What made him happy was that he could control the spiritual power in his body freely.

There were still a few days before the life-and-death battle. In the past few days, Lin Mu did not go out and practiced the Basic Five Elements Technique in the courtyard. He also tried to make several techniques cooperate with each other and figure out how to fight the enemy.

He began to wait for the arrival of the life-and-death battle with peace of mind!
