Li Mu returned to the hotel and booked another room in front of his two senior female classmates.

After all, as mentioned before, I was rushing here, so I need to maintain my persona.

Back in his room, he was eager to start crafting the spatial ring. Carrying a backpack all day long was noisy and clattering, and he had to rummage around to find things. With the ring, things would be much more convenient.

For a former third-grade weapon refiner, refining a ring is not difficult; the difficulty lies in the lack of raw materials. Now, with not only the Void Stone but also the Fire Melting Crystal, the refining process becomes much easier.

Originally, rings could not be made solely from Void Stones. Adding Fire Crystals allows the Void Stones to fuse better during the refining process. The higher the degree of fusion, the larger the space that can be refined per unit volume.

The Void Stone that Lu Xiaoyi "dropped out" was about the size of a fist. If all of it were used to refine a ring, and with the addition of Fire Melting Crystal, it could probably create a hundred or so cubic spaces.

However, due to the limitations of Li Mu's current cultivation level, he can only refine smaller ones and does not need so many Void Stones.

Li Mu put down the large backpack and prepared to refine the ring. Before starting, he took out a bottle of Life-Giving Pills from it.

I poured out two pills, wrapped them in spiritual energy, and put them in my mouth for later use. This was in case my cultivation level was insufficient when the refining process began, so I could replenish it immediately.

Then take out the dagger, the fire crystal, and the clear stone. First, use the dagger to cut off a piece of the fire crystal for later use, and then start refining directly.

"Boom!"

Li Mu sat cross-legged, made a hand gesture, and conjured a small fireball in front of him. He then threw the Kongming Stone into the fireball and waited for it to soften.

Half an hour later, Li Mu used a knife to cut off one-third of the softened Kongming Stone to continue softening it, and took out two-thirds to keep.

Then, the prepared small pieces of fire-melting crystal were thrown into the fireball, and the rest of the time was spent waiting for the Void Stone to fuse on its own.

For Li Mu now, this process is a bit long, and it will also test the spiritual power in his body to support the fireball. He must not give up halfway.

.

An hour later, before the fusion of the Void Stone had reached 30%, Li Mu felt his spiritual energy was running low. He swallowed a Life-Giving Pill, which immediately replenished his spiritual energy.

Being able to refine and possess the Life-Giving Pill ahead of time can be considered Li Mu's good fortune.

The Life-Giving Pill is different from the Qi-Replenishing Pill. After swallowing the Qi-Replenishing Pill, you need to circulate it throughout your body and regulate your breathing.

The Life-Sustaining Pill can directly replenish the body's spiritual energy, but it cannot accelerate the replenishment of spiritual energy outside the body.

The most important thing now is to refine the ring. He has two batches of twenty-four Life Pills. As long as he can successfully refine the spatial ring, he will not hesitate to use up all the Life Pills.

Three hours later, after consuming four Life-Giving Pills, the ring's fusion was complete.

Li Mu began to form his fingers and silently recite the Qi Refining Incantation, shaping the ring, designing its space, and setting up entrance and exit restrictions.

Half an hour later, a silver-white ring that looked like platinum floated in front of Li Mu's eyes, indicating that the refining was successful.

Li Mu placed the spatial ring in his palm; the ring was covered with tiny and intricate refining patterns.

The ring's internal space is only about ten cubic meters. It's already quite good that it was made to this size; it can hold quite a lot of things.

If needed, the remaining Void Stones can be incorporated later to expand the space.

Li Mu put on the ring and tried it a few times. He used it with ease and was extremely satisfied. He thought to himself, "Finally, I have some equipment for a cultivator."

Originally, we were also going to forge a flying sword, but forging a flying sword is too noisy and not suitable for forging in a hotel or a busy city; we need to go to the wilderness.

After putting all his belongings into the ring, Li Mu swallowed a Qi-replenishing pill and began to replenish his spiritual energy by meditating and cultivating.

.

In another room of the same hotel, the two sisters, Jingxin and her master, were also busy.

Ever since she went back to her room to wash up, Jingxin has been insisting on taking the Breakthrough Pill to improve her strength.

Her thinking was also straightforward: if she took this elixir back to Cihangzhai, it might not be hers anymore.

After her junior sister's persistent persuasion for over an hour, Jingru was finally swayed.

However, Li Mu had instructed that it could only be consumed by an elder as a protector.

Finally, because her cultivation level was slightly higher, at the late Yellow Realm, she had to take the risk first, with her junior sister helping to protect her.

Two hours later, without Jingxin's help, Jingru successfully advanced to the Xuan level without any major incidents, which further spurred Jingxin's determination to break through and improve.

After Jingru explained her feelings and precautions, Jingxin calmly took the Breakthrough Pill.

Jingru was filled with worry because of her junior sister's willfulness, fearing that something unexpected might happen. Little did she know that accidents don't just happen because you worry about them.

In just over ten minutes, Jingxin's strength improved from the mid-stage of the Yellow Realm to the late stage, and then surged to the peak.

Half an hour later, the impact of the cultivation bottleneck appeared.

Jingxin's body began to swell, and her face turned pale. Jingru immediately stepped in to help.

Fortunately, the two practiced the same techniques and had the same internal circulation, which temporarily relieved the pressure of calming their minds.

However, this energy could not break through the bottleneck and became volatile within Jingxin's body, posing a constant risk of exploding.

Even if Jingru tried her best, it was to no avail. She had just advanced in level and her qi and blood were still unstable. She couldn't think of a solution and cried in desperation.

Seeing his junior sister destroy all her power and die from her body exploding, he felt endless regret.

Remembering Li Mu's instructions that one must have an elder to protect them if they want to take the pills, he realized that this was not just a casual remark.

"Li Mu, Li Mu should be able to help, right?" Jingru got up, picked up the phone, and called Li Mu's room.

.

A phone call interrupted Li Mu's meditation.

My strength has only recovered to about 80% so far, who would call so late?

"Who is it!"

Li Mu was furious. Being disturbed in the middle of the night made him very unhappy. He picked up the phone and asked impatiently.

"Li Mu, it's me, Jingru. Come quickly and check on Jingxin. He seems to be dying."

After listening to Jingru's tearful account, Li Mu put down the phone and scanned the room upstairs with his divine sense. In the room of the two Taoist nuns, Jingxin was already bleeding from all seven orifices.

Did he take some kind of qi-boosting pill? That's incredibly audacious! Didn't he explain himself clearly?

With several questions in mind, Li Mu went upstairs to his room without delay.

Upon entering, he struck the meditation cushion from a distance with a palm, sending a burst of spiritual energy into the meditation cushion's heart.

First, protect her heart meridian. If you come any slower, the little Taoist nun will be completely destroyed.

"Jingru, quickly help Jingxin take off her coat, then give her a quick wash. I need to treat her right away, so don't stand there, be quick."

As Li Mu placed a Rejuvenation Pill into Jingxin's mouth and used his spiritual energy to help her absorb it, he gave her instructions.

Soon, Jingru followed Li Mu's instructions and took off Jingxin's coat to clean her up.

Li Mu took out the silver needles and inserted dozens of them into Jingxin's head and upper body. This was the most silver needles he had ever used since he bought them.

The body's meridians are now completely destroyed, and its internal organs are damaged; it is now just an empty shell after its body has exploded.

It would be extremely difficult to save him; some acupuncture points were even inserted through his clothes, and there weren't enough silver needles available.

However, once he runs out of silver needles, he can replenish them with spiritual energy.

Before the treatment, Li Mu took out two more Life-Saving Pills, one for himself and one for Jingxin.

He thought to himself, "Why is this little Taoist nun taking medicine for no reason? Does she think it's candy? She's really lost out this time."

Two Life-Giving Pills have already been used before treatment even began, and who knows how many more will be needed once the condition is cured.
