Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Painting World Treasure Mansion, ten thousand acres of spiritual fields, the fourth-order Ziyao spiritual grass is growing gratifyingly, looking at a large area of tender purple seedlings, the lavender aura is lingering among them, covering the large area of the best spiritual fields with a layer of Mysterious and tranquil purple halo.
The fourth-level purple Yao spiritual grass is known as the purest high-level spiritual plant in the world. Their characteristic is that they grow faster than other fourth-level spiritual plants and can reach maturity in about ten years. At this stage, the growth requirements are not high. The most important thing is that when they enter the mature stage, the harvested plant spirit light groups can provide free proficiency points.
Li Mu was walking in the spiritual field, waving his hand, and the weeds in the spiritual field were pulled out. After a while, a fine spiritual rain fell. This was the spirit that landed in the treasure house of Li Mu's painting world. The rain nourishes the Ziyao spirit grass with spiritual water and promotes them to grow more vigorously.
As the spiritual rain fell, the Ziyao spiritual grasses seemed to be injected with new vitality. They swayed their leaves, absorbing the nutrients in the spiritual rain, and the purple aura became more intense.
Li Mu smiled with satisfaction. With the help of Baofu Space Artifact Spirit, taking care of ten thousand acres of fourth-level spiritual plants was just a matter of thought.
Advancing to the middle stage of Refining the Void, upgrading the Yin-Yang Five Elements Jing - Refining the Void Chapter, most of the billions of free proficiency points were consumed, and Li Mu had to start planting this kind of spiritual plant that provides free proficiency points on a large area in preparation. Needed for future upgrades.
Entering the Void Refining Realm, the number of spiritual plant light groups obtained by planting fourth-level spiritual plants will definitely decrease significantly. However, there is no way, Li Mu has not found a fifth-level spiritual plant that can provide free proficiency points with the spiritual plant light group. .
Soon, Li Mu appeared in the sect master's mansion and immediately flew to another spiritual field to take care of Yanyuan Spirit Grass and Mou Xing Spirit Grass.
With the seven avatars sent to seven secret places to take care of the spiritual plants, plant the spiritual plants of Qixuan Sect, and the Painting World Treasure Mansion, Li Mu needs to personally take care of them. Fortunately, the higher the The higher the spiritual plant level, the easier it is to take care of it. You only need to provide sufficient auxiliary spiritual materials to keep the formation stable. It is easy to do it after three to four months, or even half a year.
While Li Mu was busy in the spiritual field, a figure hurriedly came and broke the tranquility.
The person who came was none other than Fang Shixin, the elder of the sect. He came with a serious face and a sword. It seemed that he had something important to report to him.
After Li Mu finished handling the matters at hand, his figure flashed and appeared in the courtyard next to the spiritual field.
"Sect Master, Fang needs to see you." Fang Shixin stopped outside the Lingtian Protective Formation and said in a low and powerful voice.
"Elder Fang, there is no need to be polite, come in!" Li Mu smiled slightly and canceled the protective formation with a wave of his hand.
Fang Shixin nodded lightly on his forehead, stepped into the protective formation, and saw Li Mu making tea in the courtyard, waiting for him.
"Sect Master, you are so relaxed and relaxed!"
Fang Shixin looked at Li Mu and smiled, his eyes wandering between the spiritual field and the courtyard, and he couldn't help but admire that this place is like a paradise, peaceful and harmonious .
"Elder Fang, come and try the Lingxuan black tea I just got. This tea has the effect of refreshing the mind and enlightening the Tao." Li Mu greeted Fang Shixin enthusiastically and poured a cup of steaming Lingxuan tea. He handed it to his desk and gestured.
Alchemist Xin sat down at the tea table, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip. He felt a warm current pouring into his heart. He suddenly felt refreshed and his thoughts became clear.
Fang Shixin couldn't help but admired: "Good tea! The sect master is so elegant that he can find such a precious spiritual tea."
Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "It's just a little bit in my spare time. It's just a hobby. Elder Fang must have something important to discuss this time, right?"
Fang Shixin put down his tea cup and said seriously: "That's right. The disciple competition is about to begin, and everyone in the sect is in full swing. The sect master hopes that you will come to host this competition in person to show the power of our sect. "Oh! Disciple, this matter is about the sect's honor, I will come forward!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, preparing to let the puppet stand in for him.
"Is Elder Fang making a special trip just for this matter?" Li Mu looked at Fang Shixin with a gentle smile on his face, but there was a trace of exploration in his eyes.
"Well, this disciple competition is related to the ranking of the true disciples of our sect. If I remember correctly, several of the disciples you have accepted, sect master, Zhao Tianchen, Su Hongxiu, Liu Yuqian, they all participated in this competition. Only Lin Maoshan has not signed up yet," Fang Shixin looked at Li Mu and said.
Hearing this, Li Mu frowned slightly, then relaxed.
I couldn’t help but think of Lin Maoshan, a cheap disciple. I threw him a Five Elements Book and asked him to practice hard at the Five Elements Mountain. It seems that he has successfully advanced to the Golden Elixir. It’s time for him to come out and show off. .
"Well! I will let him participate in this disciple competition." Li Mu nodded with a smile, then thought of something else, looked at Alchemist Xin and asked: "How many true disciples will be decided this time?" !”
“Eight in total!” Fang Shixin responded quickly.
"Very good! I will take out eight spiritual treasures as rewards for the true disciples of this competition to encourage them to practice harder." Li Mu decided with a smile.
After hearing this, Alchemist Xin showed a look of surprise and quickly bowed to express his thanks: "The sect master is wise. With the spiritual treasure refined by the sect master himself as a reward, the disciples will definitely work harder."< br>
Afterwards, Fang Shixin reported some trivial matters about the sect to Li Mu, then resigned and left to prepare for matters related to the competition.
Watching Alchemist Xin leave, Li Mu couldn't help but have more expectations for Lin Maoshan, a disciple. Lin Maoshan had the same Five Elements Spiritual Root as him and was regarded by him as the inheritor of the Taoism.
Although the other disciples have good qualifications, they are all taught by their avatars and do not have much affection for him. Li Mu is not very clear about the cultivation and realm of those disciples.
Now that Lin Maoshan has successfully advanced to Jindan, it's almost time to let him out for some training.
Thinking of this, Li Mu thought, and the figure disappeared in an instant, entered the painting world treasure house, and appeared on the waist of Five Elements Spirit Mountain.
Five Elements Spiritual Mountain stands in the center of the Baofu Mansion. One pillar of the mountain reaches the sky, and the Five Elements Spiritual Qi is concentrated, just like a fairyland. The mountain has towering ancient trees, lush green leaves, exotic flowers and grasses everywhere, and exudes bursts of fragrance.
The most peculiar thing is that the Five Elements Spiritual Mountain gathers the purest five elements of spiritual power in the world - gold, wood, water, fire and earth. On the top of the mountain, golden light shines, as if there are countless golden threads intertwined. It emits a dazzling light; the mountainside is lush and green, full of vitality, and full of the breath of wood; the mountain streams are gurgling, crystal clear, and contain rich water essence; and at the foot of the mountain, there is a red canyon with raging lava flows. , when the flames jump, it seems that you can hear the roar of fire; as for the spiritual power of earth, it is everywhere, nourishing the growth of all things. The Five Elements Spirit Mountain is the most unique existence in the treasure house in the painting world.
Li Mu appeared at Lin Maoshan's training place, a simple stone mansion with a large doorway. He saw Lin Maoshan sitting cross-legged in the center of the stone room, practicing with his eyes closed. Five-color spiritual light was emitting from his body, and he had obviously entered. A deep state of cultivation.
Li Mu did not disturb him, but stood quietly aside, observing his cultivation.
Lin Maoshan seemed to sense something. He slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to see Li Mu standing in front of him. "Master! Disciple pays homage to master!" Lin Maoshan stood up quickly and saluted Li Mu respectfully.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, and said: "Get up! In the blink of an eye, you have successfully advanced to the golden elixir level. The sect disciple competition is coming, and I have decided to let you participate. "Do you have confidence?"
Hearing this, Lin Maoshan's eyes flashed with determination, and he said seriously: "Master, don't worry, I will do my best!"
"Very good, this is the spiritual sword that I used in my early years as a gift to you. You go out and get ready!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, took out a fourth-order five-element spiritual sword from the Jiuzang Spirit Orb, stretched out his hand and placed it on the sword. With a wave of his body, he erased his spiritual thoughts and handed it to Lin Maoshan.
As soon as the fourth-level five-element spiritual sword was released, the five-element spiritual power automatically gathered, and the five colors flowed on the sword body, and the brilliance was dazzling. As Li Mu wiped away his spiritual thoughts, the sword body trembled slightly, full of spirituality, and seemed to be Tell its disappointment.
Lin Maoshan took the Five Elements Spiritual Sword respectfully and felt that the Five Elements Sword was full of energy, echoing his own Five Elements True Essence, as if it was tailor-made for him.
"My disciple, thank you Master!" Lin Maoshan bowed respectfully to Li Mu.
“Go!” Li Mu smiled slightly, waved his hand, and sent him out of the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.
Time flies, three months have passed, and the day of the sect competition has finally arrived.
The Qixuan Sect is decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere is warm and solemn. The disciples are dressed in uniform sect disciple costumes, either in small groups exchanging their cultivation experiences, or alone in the corner preparing silently, everyone They are all looking forward to showing their strength in the competition.
The competition stage has already been decorated with extraordinary splendor.
There are as many as eighteen towering arenas, covered with thick red carpets. The arenas are surrounded by top-grade spiritual stones and are covered with powerful protective formations, emitting a faint brilliance and adding a touch of brilliance. Mysterious and solemn.
Li Mu sat at the main seat of the conference, and the seven sect elders and the gods transformed elders sat on both sides in order.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely intense. Although Qixuan Sect is a subordinate sect of Xuantian Sword Sect, it has experienced thousands of years of development and attracted many talents to join due to Li Mu's reputation. It has developed rapidly in these years and has ten elders of Lianxu. Named, there are nearly a hundred Venerable God Transformers and three to four hundred True Monarchs of Nascent Soul..., it can be considered a large sect.
As the sun gradually rises, the sect competition officially begins.
Fang Shixin stood up, looked around at all the disciples present, and then loudly announced the rules and procedures of the competition. His voice was loud and serious, allowing everyone present to hear him clearly.
This disciple competition to determine the position of the true disciple will only be held between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Golden Core Realm.
With Alchemist Xin’s order, the competition for the position of true successor officially opened. The first round was the preliminary round. One hundred and seventy-eight participants competed in pairs according to the order of the draw, and the winner advanced. , the loser is eliminated.
Soon, the participating disciples flew onto the ring one after another, and the eighteen martial arts arenas were instantly filled with sword energy and spells.
Nascent Soul Lord’s combat power in this world is already extremely powerful. Their spells and martial arts have reached a very high level. In the arena, Yuanying disciples showed their strong strength. and unique fighting style.
"Sect Master, Lin Maoshan's cultivation level is only at the late stage of Golden elixir. He will be at a disadvantage by participating in this True Inheritance Competition! If I had known this, I should not have invited him to participate rashly." After completing the unveiling, the alchemist newly arrived Sitting next to Li Mu, he said with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter. Although Lin Maoshan's cultivation is still shallow, he has cultivated all five elements. The gap between him and Yuanying disciples will not be so big. It's okay to let him experience it." Li Mu responded indifferently, his eyes Always staring at the dazzling sword light and spell light on the competition stage.
As the competition progressed, Lin Maoshan's figure had appeared in a competition arena. His opponent was a disciple in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, whose cultivation level was obviously higher than that of him in the late stage of Jindan.
However, Lin Maoshan was not deterred by this. He held a spiritual sword that shone with the five elements of light and saluted it.
The martial arts competition began, and the disciples in the middle stage of Nascent Soul took the lead in attacking. The sword flashed like a rainbow, piercing Lin Maoshan. At this critical moment, Lin Maoshan twisted his body, as if he melted into the air.
Lin Maoshan used the Five Elements Escape Technique and escaped from the earth, easily avoiding the fatal blow. Immediately afterwards, his body was like lightning, and he turned around in an instant. As he swung his spiritual sword, the power of the five elements gathered into a bright sword light, approaching his opponent.
This sword contains Lin Maoshan’s profound Five Elements True Essence, and its power is extraordinary. Even though disciples in the middle stage of Nascent Soul have advanced skills, they dare not underestimate it. He quickly swung his sword to resist, but was still shocked by Lin Maoshan's sword and took a few steps back.
“Who is that person? The true energy in the middle stage of the Golden Core is so strong that Senior Brother Chen was actually repulsed by him.”
"I have never seen this person before. Is he a disciple of our sect?"
"No wonder Jindanqi also dares to compete for the position of true successor. He really has some ability!"
"It's just Jindan, he How to condense such strong true energy!"
......
In the audience seats under the ring, the disciples of the sect were talking incessantly, and the voices of exclamation came one after another, looking at the man on the ring who was not originally The promising Jindan disciple, at this moment, defeated the Nascent Soul disciple who was a level higher than him, unable to fight back, like a bright new star, shining brightly.
Fang Shixin also showed a surprised look. He didn't expect Lin Maoshan to be able to compete with the disciples in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he had the upper hand.
“Sect Master, you still teach well,” Fang Shixin looked at Li Mu and praised: “Although Lin Maoshan’s cultivation is still shallow, his Five Elements Escape Technique and swordsmanship are so perfectly combined, and his combat power is so amazing. , is really the treasure of our Qixuan Sect.”
Is the teaching good? It seems that I have never taught him anything.
Looking at Lin Maoshan who was locked in a bitter battle with his opponent in the ring, Li Mu showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
This son has been practicing hard in the treasure house. He still has too little combat experience and experience. Originally, he relied on the true energy advantage of cultivating the Five Elements together and his skilled Five Elements Escape Technique combined with sword skills to catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared, and he could easily obtain it. This victory.
However, although his Five Elements Escape Technique is flexible and versatile, it has not yet fully exerted its due power; although his swordsmanship is sharp, it lacks a bit of ruthlessness and decisiveness. Now he is trapped in a hard battle with a Nascent Soul cultivator. Fighting for real energy is really stupid. (End of this chapter)
