After going off the deep end, Xu Mu had obviously realised that his cultivation was only at the fourth level of qi cultivation, and that the victory in this clan mini-contest could not be repeated.
But at that time, Xu Mu had already slowed down, his goal was simple, to cultivate to the level his master required as soon as possible, fulfil his master's wish, and then go down the mountain to share heaven with his family.
As for cultivating immortality, his qualifications are really too low, it is better not to be delusional.
As the saying goes, there is only one day in the cave, but the world is already thousands of years old, and the days of cultivation are not only boring, but also pass by very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Mu went to the mountain for four years, when just over thirteen years old teenager, has also grown into an adult.
On this day, the snow sealed the mountain, just after the New Year's Day in the sect, many home to visit relatives of the outer disciples, will be the world's New Year's taste also brought back to the mountain door, the whole Tailing Mountain seems to be a lot of noise.
Vaguely, there was also the sound of many disciples secretly setting off firecrackers.
Coupled with the clan competition that had just been held, the atmosphere on Tai Ling Mountain had become much hotter.
Of course, Xu Mu had not participated in this clan competition, as he was still in closed cultivation when the competition took place!In order not to disturb Xu Mu's cultivation, Liu Yan had already moved the outer disciples to the back of Red Flame Peak, and even the monthly sermon was held there.
Inside the cave, the lotus pond blossomed all year round due to the high temperature inside the mountain, and after the pond water came into contact with the cold air outside, it immediately emitted a thick mist, like a fairyland.
Inside the cave, Xu Mu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his body surge, which according to common sense was a precursor to a breakthrough.
Xu Mu's eyebrows were raised, and he fully operated his Gongfu, and in a short while, a "boing" sound was heard from his body, and he finally cultivated this metallic Gongfu to the fourth level of qi cultivation!
After a long time, Xu Mu slowly withdrew his gong, exhaled a mouthful of cloudy breath, and sighed: "Now there's only one year left, I don't know if I can complete my master's request in time.
Soon after, however, his sad face cleared, and he stood up and walked out of the cave.
Inside the Red Flame Hall, next to a large dan furnace, Liu Yan frowned as he refined the dan.Not bad, even though he was an alchemist, it could be said that the refining of low-ranked pills had long been perfected over the past two years.
To save money, he went out and bought a large amount of alchemy materials and began to refine pills on his own.
With the refiner's ability to control fire, Liu Yan's success rate in refining low-ranked pills gradually increased, which was considered to have saved a lot of Spirit Stones.
Xu Mu would also do alchemy on weekdays, which was considered to be an aid to cultivation, simply put, it was to consume the spiritual energy and then cultivate it back, and so on and so forth, and the cultivation would gradually grow.
This method was similar to how martial arts masters in the secular world trained their bodies, first doing a lot of high-intensity training, and then letting the body recover.
Although it was somewhat slower than the efficiency of running cultivation, it was beneficial for controlling one's spiritual energy.
After a short while, Xu Mu arrived at the Red Flame Hall, and when he saw that his master was concentrating on refining the flames in the furnace, he didn't make any noise to disturb him, but instead sat down on the side.After a long time, only Liu Yan slowly withdrew his gong and looked at Xu Mu, "Xu Mu, what is your business?"
"Master, the disciple's Gungjin skill has been cultivated to the fourth level of qi cultivation," Xu Mu said respectfully.
Liu Yan was stunned by his words, then flew forward to hold Xu Mu's wrist to check, and found that it was indeed as he said, and was immediately filled with anger.
"Brat, since the breakthrough just now, how could you not say earlier? You made me refine this furnace of Golden Yang Dan for nothing!"
That's right, the elixir Liu Yan had just refined was called Golden Yang Dan, which was only effective for Qi Practising Stage cultivators who cultivated metal techniques.
Now that Xu Mu had broken through and was about to switch to water attribute techniques, wouldn't it be a waste to refine this elixir?
Xu Mu smiled and said, "I see, if you withdraw your strength, this elixir pot can be abandoned, become a furnace of waste dan, this is not to give up!"Come on, less! Do you think Master doesn't know that you plan to give these pills to your little lover? Hurry up, go and come back quickly!" said Liu Yan without any good humour, taking out the pills, putting them into a jade bottle and throwing them directly at Xu Mu.
The little lover in Liu Yan's mouth was, of course, Shi Yu.
Over the past four years, Xu Mu and Shi Yu had done a lot of business together and gradually had a secret love affair, although neither of them had penetrated the layer of window paper, but in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were already a couple.
Shi Yu is a three-attribute spiritual root of fire, gold and water, cultivating the metallic Myriad Sound Skill, the Golden Yang Dan just fit.
Previously, Xu Mu had given Shi Yu a few pills from time to time, he couldn't finish them all on his own, but they were all ordinary goods, nothing like the Golden Yang Dan.
As long as he hadn't broken through to the foundation stage, the Golden Yang Dan had no small medicinal effect.
Seeing that Master Xu Mu had agreed to his behaviour, Xu Mu left the cave with enthusiasm, sacrificed his Green Leaf Phylactery, and headed straight for Cloudling Peak.
He arrived at Cloudling Peak just in time to see the two female disciples standing guard.Since he often came to look for Shi Yu, Xu Mu had already gotten along well with the disciples on duty at Yunling Peak.
But today, when these two women saw Xu Mu, their faces changed.
"Senior Brother Xu, you've come to look for Senior Sister Xiaoyu again?" one of the women asked.
"Not bad, is Xiao Yu in the back of the mountain?"Xu Mu smiled and nodded.
"In is in, but ...," the woman said, and after being glared at by another woman on the side, she stopped talking.
Xu Mu was in a hurry to see Shi Yu, so he didn't care that the two of them had a different look on their faces, and after saluting the woman, he headed towards the back of the mountain.
After Xu Mu left, the two disciples on duty suddenly whispered.
"Unfortunately, even though Senior Brother Xu's cultivation is a bit lower, he's still a good person, look at those inner disciples, which one of them is so polite to us? I don't know what Senior Sister Xiaoyu thinks either."
"Ch, what do you know, the most important thing for us Immortal Cultivators is of course our cultivation, I heard that Senior Brother Xu has been stuck at the fourth level of practising Qi for three years now, how could Senior Sister Xiaoyu not have other thoughts?"
Not long after, Xu Mu arrived at the back of Yunling Peak, and at a glance, he saw the back of Shi Yu standing in the pavilion at the top of the mountain.
However, there was another man standing next to Shi Yu at the moment, and looking at their demeanour, it seemed that they were not as simple as ordinary friends.
"Little Yu!" Xu Mu still shouted at the end."Xu Mu, you're here?" Shi Yu turned around, as the saying goes, a woman has changed a lot, after three years, Shi Yu had become even more beautiful, like a pavilion standing up like a worldly fairy.
Coupled with the cultivation of the Myriad Sound Skill, Shi Yu's voice was also exceptionally melodious, like a phoenix bird crowing.
However, at this moment, Shi Yu's complexion looked a little strange, there was intolerance, but more than that, there was determination.
"Well, this is ...." Xu Mu said, frowning at the man on the side.
