Chapter 27 Planning

Returning from Yunmeng's residence.

Lin Mu did not practice immediately, but sat on the stone platform beside the fish pond, closing his eyes and meditating.

After the life-and-death battle, Lin Mu has been at the center of the storm and has become the subject of discussion among many outer disciples of Qianyu Sword Sect.

Many eyes are watching his every move, and Lin Mu has already noticed it.

Now, many people compare him with Luo Yun, a genius disciple in the sect. Luo Yun, Luo Chen's younger brother, is also an outer disciple who entered the sect at the same time as Lin Mu. In less than four years, his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. It is said that an elder wants to make an exception and accept him as a closed disciple. But he refused outright, saying that he wanted to become an inner disciple with his own strength. A person who dares to say no to a Jindan-stage elder has a lot of courage, talent, and arrogance.

Such a genius has now become the object of comparison for Lin Mu. I don't know if it is Lin Mu's luck or misfortune.

This is a big headache for Lin Mu, who has always been low-key.

He didn't want to be in the spotlight at all. For a person with a secret, the more people pay attention to him, the greater the possibility of being exposed.

Lin Mu didn't care about these false names. Now his biggest goal is to build a foundation.

However, he is now famous in the sect. If his cultivation level advances by leaps and bounds again, even surpassing Luo Yun, it will definitely attract the jealousy and suspicion of others. A person with five elements spiritual roots should be a waste, but now his cultivation speed is unmatched. It is probably not justified to rely on the superior talent for alchemy.

People can easily guess that he has a treasure.

This is what Lin Mu doesn't want to see anyway.

As his cultivation level improves and he gets to know more and more people, Lin Mu feels that Qianyu Sword Sect is unfathomable.

The people here usually look gentle and virtuous, but once their true nature is revealed, it is chilling.

Even he, who thinks he is kind, killed Ma Huayuan with his own hands. Of course, Ma Huayuan bullied him again and again, and he deserved it. Lin Mu didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

Everyone was wearing a mask of hypocrisy, and Lin Mu couldn't tell who was sincere and who was just pretending.

But there was one thing that Lin Mu was sure of, someone in the sect was plotting against him.

When Mu Qing asked him to help refine the pill, he didn't think deeply about it at the time, just thinking that there was no danger and there were spirit stones to earn, so why not do it. But later, Lin Mu came to his senses.

Mu Qing's contribution was equivalent to 400 spirit stones, and 400 spirit stones could buy 80 bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills. Although the sect restricted the number of Gathering Spirit Pills that outer disciples could buy each month, with Mu Qing's strength and influence, he could definitely do it.

Then why did she go to the trouble of asking Lin Mu to help refine it?

The answer was self-evident.

She wanted to know if she really had an 80% success rate in refining pills and superhuman talent as rumored. The ten-day time limit was a test of his alchemy skills and sustainability.

Because some people, although their success rate in refining pills was higher, they could also reach 80%, but that was when they were full of energy and refined slowly. If he fights continuously and tires, his success rate will be greatly reduced.

Since Lin Mu has advanced two levels in just three months, he must have a lot of elixirs to support him.

Mu Qing's doing this is a test of his talent for alchemy.

Although Lin Mu is diligent and hardworking, he is not stupid.

He has seen the clues!

Mu Qing has obviously doubted him, or a group of people including Mu Qing have doubted him.

Lin Mu did not panic when he came to this conclusion.

The moment he killed Ma Huayuan and woke up from his coma, he knew that his future days would not be peaceful and would even involve a lot of trouble.

Therefore, in the face of Mu Qing's doubts, Lin Mu decided to speak with facts. Originally, only 75 bottles of Juling Dan were refined from 100 materials. Lin Mu would rather pay out of his own pocket to make up 80 bottles.

He wants to make his name as an alchemy genius worthy of his name!

In this way, all doubts and speculations will be eliminated.

In fact, his alchemy talent is not bad. At his current level, the success rate of actual alchemy has exceeded 70%.

This is entirely the result of hard training. No one can refine pills day and night for half a month like him. Even if there is, there are not so many materials to practice. Normally, the cost of training a qualified alchemist is extremely high.

Lin Mu's success is unique in Qianyu Sword Gate.

Otherwise, he would not be compared with Luo Yun, a genius who is rare in a century.

To dispel Mu Qing's doubts, Lin Mu decided to keep a low profile and strictly control his training progress. At least, he could not surpass Luo Yun. I believe that after a while, I will be slowly forgotten by everyone.

Of course, with Luo Yun's talent, it is also difficult for Lin Mu to surpass him.

The excitement is theirs, I need to work harder. This is Lin Mu's decision.

In the battle with Ma Huayuan, Lin Mu found many of his own shortcomings.

Both attack and defense are very rough and vulnerable!

A low-level fire spell, "Fireball Spell", can keep him out of bed for half a month. Lin Mu saw that he still had a lot of room for improvement. Apart from anything else, at least he had to have the strength to protect himself in order to deal with the intrigues.

Improving strength will be the focus of Lin Mu's future.

Cultivation cannot determine everything. Ma Huayuan, who was one level higher than his own cultivation, still died under his "Gengjin Spell". It can be seen that powerful attack spells are equally important for improving strength.

In fact, the third-level "Red Fire Spell" can already be comparable to the "Fireball Spell"! Lin Mu saw the potential of the five elements spells from it. It is precisely because of the ever-changing five elements spells that Lin Mu can unexpectedly reverse the situation in desperate situations and turn defeat into victory.

In the "Basic Five Elements Spells", "Gengjin Spell", "Green Water Spell", "Red Fire Spell" and "Thick Earth Spell", Lin Mu has already mastered four of them, only the last one, "Grass and Wood Spell", has not yet learned it.

Lin Mu decided to conquer the "Herbal Secret" next!

After studying the jade slip, Lin Mu began to practice.

"Herbal Secret" is a wood-based technique, but unlike the gentleness of ordinary wood-based techniques, "Herbal Secret" is unreasonable and overbearing.

The jade slip said that when the "Herbal Secret" is practiced to a high level, it can forcibly plunder the essence of plants and condense into plant essence beads.

This plant essence bead is extremely rare, containing rich wood-based spiritual energy, which can be used to ripen spiritual herbs and medicines. It can also be used as an alchemy material to refine various healing medicines.

The last time he was injured, Lin Mu felt that healing pills were indispensable.

This effect of "Herbal Secret" made Lin Mu's eyes light up.

This is a very practical method, and Lin Mu couldn't help but be moved.

Putting down the jade slip, Lin Mu pinched his hands, dancing his ten fingers, and began to try to condense the wood energy vortex mentioned in "Herbal Secret".

The wood energy vortex is the most important thing in "The Secret of Herbs and Wood". All changes come from the wood energy vortex.
