Xu Shiheng saw the burning desire in Li Mu's eyes after he heard that there was a spirit stone mine here.
Just as a robber sets his sights on a rich man, a dog smells the aroma of meat.
A bad feeling rose in my heart. Could it be that Brother Li is going to rob Xiling City?
"Brother Li, there is indeed a spirit stone mine in Xiling City, but the mine is heavily guarded."
Xiling City is the strongest city in the entire Divine Continent, and it is said that many people there cultivate immortal techniques.
Xu Shiheng had to remind him.
"Oh dear! That makes things difficult. No, it should be easy to exchange spirit stones there."
Upon hearing Xu Shiheng's reminder, Li Mu almost blurted out the truth.
He did have the urge to rob it, but not for the spirit stones.
You should know that if there is a spirit stone mine, there might be a spirit vein beneath the mine.
If he could cultivate on a spiritual vein, he could definitely reach the Foundation Establishment stage within a year.
Seeing that the burning desire in Li Mu's eyes had not diminished, Xu Shiheng said again:
"Brother Li, although Xiling City has spirit stone mines, they are strictly controlled and do not appear on the market in large quantities."
I wonder if Brother Li has ever heard the saying, "The east is poor, the west is rich, the south is strong, and the north is cold."
After Xu Shiheng finished speaking, Li Mu smacked his lips, temporarily extinguishing the burning passion in his eyes.
He could certainly understand Xu Shao's reminder: the poor should be scholars, the rich should be warriors. With the spirit stone mine, Xiling City's strength should not be underestimated.
His previous desire to rob a batch of spirit stones was based on the lure of them; besides, outright robbery wasn't his style.
He would not go to Xiling City rashly before he had a clear understanding of the situation there.
However, the news of the spirit stone mine was like a seed blown by the spring breeze, taking root and sprouting in his heart.
To obtain a large number of spirit stones, he had to come up with a comprehensive plan.
He doesn't have many options at the moment. He could try to befriend Xiling City, exchange pills for spirit stones, or help Xiling City train some martial artists.
.
After seeing Xu Shiheng off, Li Mu took Yue Ling out the next day.
After several months of cultivation and absorption, the spiritual energy in the valley could no longer meet their needs.
The two entered the Endless Forest once again.
He set up a spirit-gathering array on the outskirts of the forest, and the two began to cultivate within the array.
Cultivation knows no time; two months passed in the blink of an eye.
With the support of the Spirit Gathering Array and the two of them cultivating day and night, Li Mu's cultivation level reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Yue Ling has made rapid progress and has already reached the late stage of the second level of Qi Refining.
Li Mu put away the spirit-gathering array flags and shook his head as he looked at the withered plants around the array.
The spiritual energy here is running low, so we must change locations to continue our cultivation.
The two changed their training locations twice in the forest, and another four months passed in the forest.
At this moment, his cultivation level had been consolidated at the early stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the spiritual liquid in his dantian had taken up half of his body.
Yue Ling's cultivation has broken through to the early stage of the third level of Qi Refining. This extraordinary woman's talent is truly heaven-defying.
The two did not rush out, but instead gathered spiritual herbs in the forest.
The quality of the herbs here is indeed much better than outside, but not all herbs are available. If you want to refine pills, you won't have enough auxiliary ingredients.
A week later, the two finally emerged from the forest and returned to the valley villa.
The villa had been uninhabited for six months. Looking at the house covered in dust, Professor Li Mu used the Dust Removal Technique.
Yue Ling quickly learned the minor spells, and in no time, the house was cleaned up spotlessly.
There was a letter on the ground, left by Xu Shiheng.
The letter mentioned that he came once a month but had not seen them and was worried that something might have happened to them.
A few days later, Xu Shiheng visited again, bringing nearly three hundred spirit stones.
Raising over four hundred spirit stones in six months seems impressive, but it was actually incredibly difficult.
Even with the abilities of the eldest son of the Xu family, this is all he can get. If he wants more, he can no longer stay in this valley.
His frantic cultivation and improvement were all for the purpose of going to Xiling City, where he could obtain more spirit stones.
.
After Xu Shiheng left, Li Mu went into seclusion in the Golden Pearl World.
He wanted to refine his weapons and magical artifacts once again.
If possible, he should also improve his martial arts skills; in short, it's always good to have more skills.
After the pot lid was collected last time, the Golden Pearl World became extremely empty, and because the rules were incomplete, it was still shrouded in mist.
The herbs and celestial fruit trees he planted there, despite being nourished by the spiritual spring, did not undergo significant changes.
These medicinal herbs are growing here, so we can only say they are still alive.
He had a vague feeling that he should be able to encounter things related to the Five Elements in this land of China.
I don't know if it's related to his trip to Xiling City, but in any case, he has no choice but to go to Xiling City.
Li Mu arrived near the Yin-Yang Pot, which represents the fire element and is where the five elements have now been completed.
He took out all the items that needed to be refined, and began to meditate, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the refining process.
A year later, he had refined 30% of the Haotian Drum and the club. He wanted to continue refining them, but gave up because his cultivation level was not high enough.
The refining of the wooden teeth went smoothly at first, but became slower and slower later on.
Two years later, through his persistent refining efforts, he finally refined it completely.
"Clang!"
The wooden sword rang out on its own, carrying Li Mu's inner joy; the sound was very crisp and melodious.
At this point, the wooden sword can be stored in the Purple Mansion for nurturing, becoming one with his mind, and used like a flying sword, as easily as an extension of his arm.
The Wooden Fang Sword will also unleash greater power as Li Mu's cultivation level increases.
All of the Wooden Fang Sword's built-in sword moves have also been unlocked.
First move: Wood generates fire - blazing flames.
Second move: Water nourishes wood - Summoning spirit.
Third move: Fire generates earth - binds the soul.
Fourth move: Metal generates water - Torrents freeze into ice.
Fifth move: Fire generates metal: Broken blade.
The five moves are based on the five elements and are not simple in themselves, but Li Mu has only mastered the first move.
Li Mu could execute the other four moves, but he couldn't unleash their full power. It wasn't a problem with the moves themselves, but rather with his cultivation level.
He put away the wooden sword and began refining the soul-summoning bell.
The wooden fangs are used for attack, while the summoning bell is used for defense; they complement each other, serving both offensive and defensive purposes.
Two more years passed, and Li Mu completely refined the Soul-Summoning Bell. The refined Soul-Summoning Bell was also incorporated into his Purple Mansion for nurturing.
Moreover, the refined Soul-Summoning Bell also possesses offensive attributes, with its primary attack method being soul summoning.
This soul-summoning attack can cause secondary damage to cultivators whose souls are unstable after being injured, and can even shatter their souls.
After putting away the summoning bell, Li Mu felt a surge of emotions.
Unbeknownst to him, he became so engrossed in refining magical artifacts that he ended up spending five years in the Golden Pearl World without ever leaving it.
In five years, his cultivation level did not improve at all, and more than half of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed.
He was in good spirits, but his body was severely depleted from focusing on refining the magic weapon, leaving him emaciated.
If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Pearl World has time acceleration, allowing him to refine the magic weapon over a period of five years, it would probably be very difficult for him to accomplish this.
At this moment, he did not rush out, but sat on the pile of opals and began to absorb the chaotic energy to improve his martial arts cultivation.
Another six months passed, and Li Mu's martial arts cultivation finally reached the mid-stage of Qi Condensation, with his body full of Qi and blood.
His body, which had been depleted from refining magical artifacts, has now fully recovered.
This also demonstrates the benefits of cultivating both immortal and martial arts, as they can complement each other perfectly.
If you were to compare his cultivation in immortal arts with his cultivation in ancient martial arts at this moment, he would feel that his martial arts cultivation is stronger.
