Chapter 4 White clouds hanging over the peak
On the border of Yun Kingdom, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains.
The vegetation is lush, the dense mountain forests stretch as far as the eye can see, and there are towering ancient trees everywhere.
Lin Mu was wearing linen and short brown clothes, and on his feet was a pair of straw sandals that were almost broken by the wear and tear of the weather.
He was thin, with wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes, and the complexion on his face showed a sickly pale color. The two large dark circles under his eyes seemed to be due to lack of energy and blood, giving people a feeling of weakness.
Only those eyes were as bright as stars.
"It took me nine months to finally find it. According to the map left by monk Chen Hai, Baiyun Gate should be located in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
Lin Mu spread out the sheepskin map he had carved out from memory and confirmed that the route was correct.
Taking a deep breath, I plunged into the boundless deep mountains and forests.
Nine months ago, Lin Mu officially entered the first level of Qi training.
Even he himself did not expect that using the Gravel Palm and the Spirit-Inducing Technique at the same time would be so powerful. Relying on the flushing of Qi and blood, the meridians in the body that had been blocked for many years could be penetrated in one fell swoop!
A wisp of mist-like true energy transformed from spiritual energy appeared in the Dantian.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is too much overdraft of energy and blood. With just one use, the damage caused by Gravel Palm to the physical body has reached 10%, which is equivalent to losing ten years of life.
Now nine months have passed, and the ten-year lifespan has not yet been fully restored.
Not to mention that after that, Lin Mu tasted the benefits of overdrafting Qi and blood, and activated his gravel palm every now and then to assist in his true energy cultivation.
This causes the forest trees to lose more and more lifespan, which is manifested externally by being extremely weak and depleted of energy and blood.
Fortunately, with the repairing effect of the Immortal Blood Jade, the forest trees only look fake on the outside, but in fact there is nothing to be said for it.
A strange phenomenon even occurred here.
The weaker it looks, the stronger it actually is!
"Because of the Gravel Palm and the Spirit-Inducing Technique, the degree of injury in my body is now approximately constant at around 5%."
"Only within this range can the qi and blood in my body be stimulated to the maximum extent, which will react on the practice of the Spirit-Inducing Art and accumulate more true energy."
As Lin Mu hurried on, he studied his injuries.
He found that if he simply relied on the Spirit-Inducing Technique to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the speed would be too slow, just like a tortoise crawling, and the true energy content in his body would not change at all for a month or two.
Using the Gravel Palm to overdraw Qi and blood, the speed of spiritual energy pulling will produce a qualitative leap.
Originally, there was only one wisp of mist-like true energy transformed from spiritual energy in his Dantian. Now nine months have passed, and nine wisps of mist-like true energy have accumulated in his Dantian.
In the following time, it seemed that I had encountered a bottleneck. The tenth ray of true energy could not be condensed at all.
"I don't know if my cultivation speed is faster or slower compared to other qi-training monks?"
On this day, there were no clouds in the sky.
The straw sandals on Lin Mu's feet were completely scrapped. In desperation, he had no choice but to continue climbing over mountains and ridges and walking in the mountains and fields barefoot.
Fortunately, we are getting closer and closer to the Baiyunmen station on the sheepskin map.
In front of you is a green bamboo forest, with slender green bamboos covering each other, and small bamboo leaves swaying in the wind. Listen carefully, and the sound of gurgling water echoes in your ears in the quiet bamboo forest.
After bypassing the stream and passing through the bamboo forest, there was a tall and exposed cliff in front of us.
Lin Mu frowned slightly: "Strange, according to the route, the Baiyunmen station is here!"
The cliffs are tall and the rocks are rugged, which is quite spectacular.
The road was completely blocked.
"Is it possible that Baiyun Gate is built on a steep cliff?"
Looking up, I don't know how many thousands of feet the cliff is, deeply embedded in the white clouds.
When you reach out and touch it, the exposed hard stone feels extremely real.
"Perhaps... this is Baiyun Sect's spiritual farming assessment."
Just when Lin Mu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb the steep cliff with bare feet and gritted teeth, the immortal blood jade in his mind trembled slightly.
The few true energy in the body was automatically drawn and accumulated in the eyes.
Lin Mu only felt a burst of clarity in the spiritual platform.
The next moment, the extremely real cliff in front of me suddenly appeared with ripples.
When I reached out to touch the forest trees again, the cliff disappeared!
Among the trees, an ancient mossy road winding up came into view.
It turns out that this seemingly steep cliff is actually just an illusion!
I saw a young monk wearing a navy blue robe, who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, but his cuffs did not have the white cloud patterns like Chen Hai.
The young monk was very happy when he saw someone coming at first, but when he took a glance, he found that he was just a casual cultivator at the first level of Qi training, and he suddenly lost interest.
The young monk said coldly: "Who are you, what do you want to do with my Baiyun Sect?"
Lin Muru woke up from his dream: "This... everything just now turned out to be an illusion?"
"This understanding is not wrong." Shi San said expressionlessly: "This is an illusory formation set up by the elders of our sect. If you are not strong-minded, you will see a real cliff. You need to climb thousands of feet with bare hands.
See the true beauty of this road."
"If you have a firm heart to practice Taoism, taking half a step forward is the way to get started."
"Ahem, a firm heart to practice Taoism..." Lin Mu coughed guiltily.
Shi San looked up and down in the forest and found that his clothes were shabby and he didn't even have a pair of decent shoes. He said displeasedly: "I wonder if my friend came to my Baiyun Gate to look for immortals or to visit friends?"
"If you are visiting friends, you can go back. Our Baiyun Gate is not open to outsiders."
Shi San waved his hand impatiently.
Lin Mu knew very well how powerful the gatekeeper was. In his previous life, he had entrusted people with things to do. Apart from the leader, the person who should not be offended the most was the security guard at the door.
He lowered his posture and looked humble: "Reporting to the Immortal, I am here to visit the Immortal."
Shi San said unhappily: "Since we are visiting immortals, please report your name, place of origin, cultivation level, age, etc. one by one. I will submit it to you, and you can go back if you have nothing to do."
Hearing the obviously deceptive tone, Lin Mu's heart suddenly went cold.
"I hope the Immortal will be accommodating." Lin Mu said in a humble tone: "The younger one is named Lin Mu. He was originally a mining slave of the Black Cloud Sect. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Immortal of the Baiyun Sect. However, due to his shallow qualifications, he was unable to join the noble sect. Fortunately, there is a noble sect.
The monk Zong Chenhai gave me some guidance and passed down the spirit-guiding formula."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Now that I am lucky enough to enter the Qi training period, I want to come to Baiyun Sect to find a job as an affiliated spiritual farmer..."
However, what Lin Mu didn't expect was that when he heard Chen Hai's name, Shi San's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"It turns out that I was recommended by Senior Brother Chen Hai. I should have told you earlier!"
Shi San's originally impatient face was instantly filled with a smile, and he turned his face faster than flipping through a book.
"What's wrong with being an immortal? I, Shi San, am just a gatekeeper. If Brother Lin doesn't mind, just call me Senior Brother."
Shi San nodded and bowed: "Come on, Brother Lin, please come over here."
"The same goes for you. If I had told you that it was Senior Brother Chen Hai who recommended me, why would I have gone to such trouble? I will take you to Senior Brother Zhu to sign a spiritual farming contract."
Shi San smiled apologetically, and even took out a pair of his own cloth shoes from his storage bag, half-kneeling on the ground to change Lin Mu's shoes.
Lin Mu was flattered and thought that the contrast between before and after was too great.
Lin Mu hesitated and said: "Senior Brother Shi, I was just an ordinary mining slave before and had no experience as a spiritual farmer. Do I really not need to undergo a spiritual farmer assessment or training first?"
"Brother Lin is just kidding me. You are recommended by Senior Brother Chen Hai, so why do you need any assessment? They are all just to fool outsiders."
Shi San smiled earnestly and said: "Senior Brother Chen Hai has already said hello to us outer disciples who are responsible for guarding the illusory formation, saying that if any mining slaves from the Black Cloud Sect come, he can let him go. If anything happens, he will take care of it.
On the body."
"As a result, one of the outer sect brothers who took over the guard was ignorant and took advantage of others' power to stop the mine slave recommended by senior brother Chen Hai. The next day, he was scolded by senior brother Chen Hai and said he was lazy, negligent and inactive..."
As he spoke, Shi San did not forget to flatter him and said, "However, there is one thing to say. Although the spiritual farmers recommended by Senior Brother Chen Hai have lower qualifications, they are all down-to-earth and hard-working people. In just a few months, they have all been promoted to outer disciples."
, counting, Brother Lin is already the fifth mine slave to come here."
"I believe it won't be long before you can be promoted to the outer sect. By then we will be brothers. We must support each other and help each other."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." Lin Mu laughed dryly.
He did not expect that Chen Hai, a monk who seemed ordinary in the past, would have such a high status in Baiyun Sect.
It's related... it's great.
Chen Hai was so reliable. He kept his word and not only rescued him from the Black Cloud Sect, but also helped him a lot in the entrance examination.
Lin Mu thought in his mind that if there was an opportunity in the future, he would say thank you to others.
Under the leadership of Shi San, the two walked through the ancient moss road and suddenly became enlightened.
I saw beautiful mountains and clear water, shrouded in clouds and mist.
A large green spiritual field is located in the wilderness, and spiritual farmers in twos and threes are bent over and working in the field.
Dozens of tall peaks are suspended in the air, covered with dense caves.
From time to time, monks would fly out of the Xuanfeng Cave with their flying swords, like a streak of light across the sky.
Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh: "What a magnificent scene of the immortal family."
"That's natural." Shi San said with a proud expression: "Brother Lin, our Baiyun Sect is a hidden immortal sect. There are a total of twelve spiritual peaks suspended in mid-air through the third-level formation blessed by the ancestors. They are extremely
A rare Xuan-level golden elixir spiritual vein."
"Inner disciples like Senior Brother Chen Hai and the ancestors and elders practice in this Xuanfeng. The spiritual energy inside is extremely abundant. It is said that one day for me and other qi-training monks to stay in the Xuanfeng Cave is as good as one year of practice in the outside world.
Woolen cloth!"
As for spiritual farmers and outer disciples, they can only practice under the hanging peak and rely on the spiritual energy that escapes from the spiritual veins.
Even so, the aura under the hanging peak is several times that of the outside world.
