Chapter 343: Loss of Cultivation
An extremely powerful feeling suddenly emerged in Lin Mu's heart.
Lin Mu was inexplicably surprised.
The difficulty of practicing "Quenching Meridians" was far beyond his imagination. After practicing the first level, the Shaping Realm, all the spiritual power in his body was exhausted!
All his cultivation was lost!
If Yin Xin had said this to him before, he would definitely not practice.
Meridians are extremely important to cultivators, and they are also the basis for performing sword skills. Many people spend a lot of resources and find it difficult to improve the quality of meridians. Not everyone in the Jindan stage can perform sword skills at will. But it is not what Lin Mu wants to spend all his cultivation to improve the quality of meridians.
In the final analysis, cultivation is the root of everything.
Whether it is magic or sword skills, they all need cultivation to support.
Now that he has lost all his cultivation, he is no different from a useless person!
But what makes Lin Mu weird is that he now feels extremely powerful!
It seems that with a wave of his hand, he can tear tigers and leopards alive, collapse mountains and crack rocks, and make the palm edge live and die!
Without hesitation, Lin Mu stood up and walked down from the jade bed.
When he reached the stone door of the quiet room, he stretched out his right hand and gently pulled it.
The stone door weighing thousands of pounds suddenly opened!
Looking at his palm, Lin Mu was surprised. His physique is so strong now!
The effect of "Quenching Meridians" is really amazing. While tempering his meridians, it also tempers his body. Although the progress of his body is not as obvious as that of his meridians, it can be regarded as a rebirth.
Luo Yan's late Jindan physique is far superior to that of cultivators of the same level. Lin Mu can hardly hurt him with his top-grade flying sword.
Lin Mu feels that his current physique is at least comparable to that of a mid-Jindan cultivator!
Ordinary Lingji cultivators operating flying swords can't hurt him at all!
The effect of "Quenching Meridians" is really powerful!
Although it is a great sacrifice to lose all cultivation, it is worth it. Lin Mu did not panic.
He already had his own understanding of cultivation. As long as there was sufficient supply of resources, it was only a matter of time for him to recover his cultivation.
For the sake of safety, Lin Mu did not dare to be careless.
Forcefully suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lin Mu slowly calmed down, sat cross-legged on the jade bed and began to try to cultivate.
Under the chill of the jade, Lin Mu quickly entered into a state of concentration, silently practicing the "Five Elements Heart Method", and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly gathered towards him, and the spiritual power rushed to where he was like a whirlpool.
The cave of Guyun was located in the fifth-grade cave heaven and blessed land, and the spiritual energy was extremely rich, not inferior to his Xuanyue space at all.
As soon as the spiritual energy poured into his body, Lin Mu was suddenly shocked.
Compared with before, the speed of cultivation was completely different.
The spiritual energy was like a river, surging in his meridians, but he did not feel any effort, everything was so natural, under the operation of the "Five Elements Heart Method", these spiritual energies were quickly refined and absorbed by him, turned into spiritual power, and circulated rapidly in his body.
After the spiritual power ran for a week in his body, Lin Mu immediately stopped, opened his eyes, and his face was full of smiles.
After only this practice, he knew himself well and was confident.
His current practice progress was several times faster than when he was in the late stage of spiritual silence!
Now, his consciousness is comparable to the early stage of Jindan, and his physique is comparable to the middle stage of Jindan. Even he himself does not know how strong his meridians are. He is also extremely fast in refining and absorbing spiritual power, and his sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also far better than before. If he practices with all his strength, he is confident that he can recover his cultivation in a very short time!
Whether it is experience, resources, or his own conditions, he will be dozens of times better than before when he re-cultivates!
The spiritual power gained by a genius with a single spiritual root in the Qi Refining Stage in one day of hard practice may not be as much as that gained by practicing the Five Elements Heart Method for one week!
The gap is extremely obvious!
Without any worries, Lin Mu can no longer stay in the cave with peace of mind.
A month has passed, and he has no idea what is happening outside. Whether the competition will be held as scheduled, whether he can still participate, all kinds of distracting thoughts surge in his mind from time to time.
Leaving the quiet room, Lin Mu walked quickly out of the cave.
Standing in front of the cave, Lin Mu used the spiritual power in his body and shot out a weak discovery.
Outside the cave, the misty white fog swayed slightly.
Luo Yan and Han Bing Fairy beside him also woke up suddenly. Looking at the cave, Luo Yan smiled, and the coldness on Han Bing Fairy's face also melted a lot.
Yin Xin waved his hand, and the restriction he had set up before was immediately opened.
The white fog dispersed and automatically divided to both sides, revealing a path.
In the white mist, Lin Mu walked out leisurely with a smile on his face.
As soon as he came out, Lin Mu saluted the three people.
After thirty days, Lin Mu must have mastered the first level of "Quenching Veins Art", but Luo Yan couldn't help asking: "Have you mastered it?"
Lin Mu smiled: "Live up to the elder's expectations, I have mastered the first level of "Quenching Veins Art" by chance, and now I have reached the shaping realm."
Luo Yan smiled immediately.
Fairy Han Bing suddenly asked: "Why did you lose all your cultivation?"
Luo Yan was also startled and looked at Lin Mu. After a brief investigation, his face was even more surprised.
"I don't know either." Lin Mu said, "This "Quenching Meridians Art" is extremely difficult to practice. After the first repair of the meridians, my cultivation fell from the peak of the foundation-building period to the late stage of the foundation-building period. After the second repair, my cultivation had already fallen to the middle stage of the foundation-building period. After that, although the decline rate gradually slowed down, it was still astonishing. Half a month later, my cultivation fell to the late stage of Qi Refining. On the last day, I was lucky enough to practice it, but as soon as I practiced it, my cultivation was completely lost, not a bit left."
"Why is this?" Luo Yan was also very surprised and looked at Yin Xin.
Yinxin looked calm, and after a moment's silence, he said, "I still underestimated you. There is a reason for all this. The Meridian Tempering Technique uses spiritual power to temper the meridians. The stronger the meridians, the more spiritual power is needed. Your physique is comparable to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator. According to my estimation, even if you practice the Meridian Tempering Technique, your cultivation level will only drop to the early stage of foundation building. But I am still too optimistic. It's not just your physique that is strong!" Yinxin glanced at Lin Mu and said, "The first time you repaired your meridians, your cultivation level dropped from the peak of the foundation building stage to the late stage of foundation building. Your strong physique is certainly one of the reasons, and your serious injuries are also... Same hook. Your injury is much more serious than shattering your meridians by yourself, and the consumption of spiritual power is naturally very severe, and the effect is also much better! At first, I even wanted to help you practice, help you break your meridians, and completely shatter them. In this way, the shaping realm you can cultivate will definitely be far better than others. Later, I changed my mind and gave up. "
"I help you practice, of course, the effect is very good. But to cultivate to the shaping realm, you need to temper the meridians thousands of times. I help you break the meridians, which takes a lot of time. You also spend a lot of time repairing each time. It's too late within a month." Yin Xin said.
Luo Yan said beside him: "But this will not cause Lin Mu to lose all his cultivation."
Yin Xin nodded: "This is indeed not possible. But you forget that Lin Mu is a five-element sword body!"
"Five-element sword body!" Luo Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly realized.
"Sword cultivators are known for their powerful attacking power, and their physiques are even stronger than those of ordinary cultivators." Luo Yan said, "The stronger Lin Mu's physique is, the more spiritual power he consumes!" Yin Xin said, "That's right!" Lin Mu also suddenly realized that this was the case. "The loss of all cultivation is indeed a huge loss, but it is not unbearable for Lin Mu now." Yin Xin glanced at Lin Mu and said, "With your current qualifications and temperament, your cultivation will be restored soon! In fact, compared with before, your meridians are stronger, and your spiritual power refining and absorption is more refined! The chance of successfully condensing the golden elixir is also greater! In the future, whether it is to perform sword skills or magic, the spiritual power circulation will be far better than before! If there is enough supply of thousand-year spiritual milk, it will not be difficult to defeat the golden elixir cultivators!" A blessing in disguise? After Lin Mu's excitement, he quickly put away his smile and looked at Yin Xin, asking, "Is the competition about to start? Can I still participate?"
Yin Xin smiled and said, "The competition is in full swing. At my suggestion, the rules of the competition have been changed specifically for you. You don't need to compete now. With the joint recommendation of the ten major sects, you will directly become a seed player and enter the top 100! Now the remaining players in the top 100 have not been selected, so you still have time!"
It's still time!
Lin Mu's heart suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, which was extremely brilliant.
"We will go to Wuling Peak so that you can get to know other opponents as soon as possible and be prepared." Yin Xin looked at Lin Mu and said, "You have lost all your cultivation now. How to win depends on you. I can't intervene at all. The only thing I can do for you is to make you eligible for the competition."
Lin Mu nodded deeply.
Yin Xin waved his hand to set up a ban, and the four of them flew to Wuling Peak.
Lin Mu's cultivation was exhausted, and he couldn't even control the flying sword. He had to stand on Luo Yan's flying sword and go together.
The sword light flashed, and the four people flew to the sky above Wuling Peak.
In the square of Wushuang Hall, the competition was in full swing.
There were dozens of high platforms in the whole square, and people were competing at the same time.
The flying swords flashed, and people were knocked off the stage from time to time.
The arrival of Yinxin and the other four immediately caused a commotion in Wuling Peak.
Today is the day for the top 100 to be decided. The leaders of the ten major sects and Wushuang Zhenren all came together.
The sword light disappeared, and the four people landed in front of Wushuang Hall.
As soon as the few people landed, everyone looked at them in unison, and their eyes were directed at Lin Mu!
Everyone had seen that Lin Mu had become a useless person now.
After a period of silence, the crowd exploded and talked like a boiling pot.
"Lin Mu's cultivation is completely lost!" Someone gloated.
"How can he heal so quickly if his meridians are broken!" someone retorted.
"He has it all to himself. He deserved this fate for fighting against a Jindan-stage cultivator!" someone was jealous.
"Even with his current condition, he was selected as a seed player and directly entered the top 100!" someone was indignant.
"The leaders of the ten major sects are blind!" someone was jealous.
"If I met him, I would definitely beat him to a pulp! He really thought that he could be invincible by relying on his hidden heart!" a peak Lingji-stage cultivator said bitterly.
