Chapter 39 Mu Qing Visits
On this day, Lin Mu was practicing the Wind Controlling Technique in the courtyard as usual.
When he was practicing, a few knocks came from the courtyard gate, interrupting Lin Mu's practice, and Lin Mu couldn't help but feel unhappy.
After tidying up his clothes, Lin Mu put his mood in order and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Mu almost stood there in a daze.
A beautiful woman stood outside the courtyard with a bright smile.
It was Mu Qing!
Lin Mu quickly retracted his gaze and bowed his head to salute: "Senior Sister."
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Excuse me for bothering you, junior brother, there is no need to be polite."
This smile made the world pale. Lin Mu felt that the surrounding scenes disappeared, leaving only Mu Qing's smile lingering in his mind, lingering.
Lin Mu's mind was startled, and he silently practiced the Star Refining Soul Art to defend his sea of consciousness.
At that moment, Lin Mu almost lost his mind and lost himself in Mu Qing's beauty.
What a powerful charm!
Lin Mu suddenly understood why Mu Qing was so popular in the sect. It turned out that she had practiced a very powerful charm. Every move she made revealed an indescribable charm that was intoxicating.
If Lin Mu had not practiced the "Star Refining Spirit Art" and reached the realm of God as Silk, with extremely condensed consciousness, he would have been almost attacked by her and completely fallen into her charm.
Lin Mu felt a little scared when he thought about it!
Not daring to look into her eyes again, Lin Mu said lightly: "What is the matter, Senior Sister?"
Mu Qing smiled: "It's not a big deal. For Junior Brother, it's just a piece of cake. I want you to help me refine the pill."
Lin Mu was already on guard, and this smile did not shake his mind.
"I remember that I helped Senior Sister refine eighty bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills not long ago. Why do you have to refine them now?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I want to break through to the foundation building stage, so I have a great need for the Gathering Spirit Pill." Mu Qing said seriously. This sentence was half true and half false, but it was not a lie.
Lin Mu was surprised: "Is Senior Sister not going to participate in the internal competition? The head of the sect requires that the ninth and tenth levels of Qi Refining must participate."
Mu Qing smiled and said: "This is exactly why I am eager to build a foundation. I have a wood spiritual root and I specialize in wood magic. You know that wood magic has low attack power and poor defense. Participating in the competition is just humiliating myself. It is better to build a foundation as soon as possible and get out of this dispute."
Lin Mu did not comment. There were too many loopholes in this statement.
Mu Qing did not tell him the truth. If she was really afraid of getting hurt, with her beauty, she would admit defeat immediately after going on stage, or just go through the motions. Many male disciples would not disagree. As far as Lin Mu knew, there were no more than two thousand male disciples who liked her in the sect.
She said this just to perfunctorily.
Why was she so anxious to build a foundation? Why did the headmaster require that those at the tenth level of Qi Refining must participate?
There seems to be some connection between the two.
However, the headmaster said too little, and Mu Qing was also evasive. Lin Mu couldn't infer anything from it.
But he knew that this competition was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
There were undercurrents below, and everyone had their own ideas and calculations, but Lin Mu knew that for the sake of the foundation-building pill, he had to participate in the competition.
This muddy water was bound to be waded.
Lin Mu felt that now was like the calm before the storm.
What was coming would eventually come, and there was no way to avoid it.
"How much?" Lin Mu asked after a moment of hesitation.
A hint of joy flashed across Mu Qing's face: "Three hundred copies."
After saying this, she also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly said: "I know that these quantities are a bit too many. I would like to ask for your help, and I will definitely reward you handsomely. It's still the same as before, two low-grade spirit stones for each material, a total of six hundred low-grade spirit stones, and you only need to finish refining within one month."
Six hundred low-grade spirit stones. This number is not very attractive to Lin Mu now.
For a person who has more than five hundred bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills, six hundred low-grade spirit stones are only equivalent to more than one hundred bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills. Not to mention the materials harvested from the spiritual fields in the Xuanyue space every time. After two months, this batch of spiritual herbs will be harvested, and Lin Mu estimates that he can prepare at least one thousand two hundred copies of materials. This is equivalent to two thousand four hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Even if he does nothing, the monthly harvest can reach more than one thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Why should Lin Mu spend so much effort to help others refine pills? If he has that time, it would be good to practice well and improve his cultivation.
Lin Mu smiled softly: "I'm really sorry, I also want to participate in the competition. My cultivation is too low, you can see it at a glance. I plan to use these two months to practice well. I'd better wait until after the competition to talk about alchemy. I hope you will forgive me."
"Junior brother also wants to participate in the competition?" Lin Mu asked doubtfully: "Are you going for the foundation-building pill?"
"That's right!" Lin Mu replied.
Mu Qing pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, bit his lip and said: "I'll tell you a secret. In fact, there is no foundation-building pill in the sect now."
This sentence exploded in Lin Mu's ears like thunder.
"Are you joking, senior sister? If so, why did the head of the sect make a promise?" Lin Mu soon found the doubt.
Mu Qing simply let go and chuckled, "The foundation-building pills have indeed been divided up by others, and an important spiritual medicine for refining the foundation-building pills is also missing. The head of the sect said this because he wanted to select the five most powerful people in the sect to go somewhere to pick up the materials for refining the foundation-building pills."
Lin Mu hurriedly said, "I would like to hear more about it."
Mu Qing chuckled and said nothing, looking at Lin Mu with his eyes.
Lin Mu understood and agreed: "Okay. If everything you said is true, I will agree to it. And I can help you refine it within half a month."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Mu Qing smiled and said solemnly: "I have only heard about this matter, but the general situation is not wrong. Every fifty years, the sect goes to that place to collect spiritual medicine. I heard that only cultivators below the foundation building stage can enter there, so the master will hold a competition for outer disciples. But it is not a good place. Nine out of ten people who go there will die."
Mu Qing smiled mysteriously: "I can't tell you too much about the situation here. That's all, junior brother, think about it yourself."
"You said there is a spiritual medicine for refining foundation building pills there?" Lin Mu asked.
Mu Qing said: "Yes. A very important spiritual medicine has been extinct outside and can only grow there."
This statement made Lin Mu feel relieved.
If there is a spiritual medicine for refining foundation building pills, Lin Mu can refine foundation building pills in large quantities. Lin Mu was worried that he was a five-element body, and one foundation-building pill might not allow him to break through. But if there was a large supply of foundation-building pills, it would be easy to build a foundation.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you. Give me the materials and I'll help you refine them."
Mu Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the ring.
