Chapter 37 Wind Control
Back in the courtyard, Lin Mu went straight to the quiet room.
The outer disciples' competition, Lin Mu needs to consider this matter carefully.
Lin Mu has just reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. Compared with those people who have reached the ninth and tenth levels of Qi Refining, he has no advantage at all in the competition. After all, the cultivation level is a little different, and the subtlety of the spell cannot determine everything. With the cultivation level of those people, even a low-level spell "Fireball Spell" is difficult for Lin Mu to bear.
If he is not careful, he may be seriously injured, or even an unhealable wound.
Now he is in the limelight in the sect, and there are people who want to win him over. There are also many people who want to make trouble for him because of jealousy.
At this time, if they take the opportunity to make a ruthless move, Lin Mu is not sure that he can escape.
Although the head of the sect Shi Weihan strictly proposed that the lives of fellow disciples should not be harmed. But those people, as long as they guarantee not to hurt his life, beat him into a cripple and make him unable to practice from then on, it is not a violation.
This result, Lin Mu can't accept it anyway. Becoming a useless person is simply worse than death.
If he doesn't participate, Lin Mu can be sure that he will be able to successfully build his foundation five years later.
But when Lin Mu thought of his parents far away in his hometown, his heart ached.
Before his father left, he knelt in front of Elder Luo Yan and begged bitterly. The scene of his head being broken and bleeding was still vivid in his mind. When Lin Mu thought of this, he was restless and could not rest for a moment.
He must participate!
He couldn't wait for another five years. The longer he waited, the deeper the torment in his heart he felt.
Not only must he participate, but he must at least be in the top five! Lin Mu had made up his mind.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Lin Mu's eyes. If anyone makes trouble with me, I will definitely fight back twice as hard!
Once he made the decision, Lin Mu's heart was relieved and he began to seriously consider the matters of this competition.
The head and the four elders summoned all the outer disciples to participate in this conference. It seemed to be a huge event, but it was just a lot of noise. The four elders just sat quietly for a while without saying a word. Even the head of the sect, Shi Weihan, only gave a general explanation of the competition without going into details.
All these things were strange, as if they were hiding something. Lin Mu was puzzled.
These doubts could not be answered correctly in his heart, so Lin Mu simply put them aside and began to plan how to deal with this competition.
This competition, Lin Mu was not completely unsure.
With his current strength, he could easily defeat the eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators and be on par with the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators.
But if he faced the tenth-level Qi Refining cultivators, he could only admit defeat. If he was lucky, there was a certain possibility that the weak would defeat the strong. But Lin Mu did not believe in luck, these were just auxiliary, and only real strength could make him feel at ease.
According to Lin Mu's estimation, there should be no less than ten tenth-level Qi Refining cultivators in Qianyu Sword Sect.
These ten or so Qi Refining cultivators will be the backbone of this competition, and the rest are just going through the motions.
Of course, the emergence of some geniuses is not ruled out.
Lin Mu heard that Luo Yun's cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining. There were still two months before the competition, and it would be easy for him to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Because his brother was Luo Chen, the chief disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, Luo Yun began to learn sword techniques during the Qi Refining period and officially became a sword cultivator.
The powerful attack power of sword cultivators is far beyond the reach of these ordinary outer disciples.
Lin Mu believed that with Luo Yun's strength, he would not be inferior to the tenth-level Qi cultivators.
Lin Mu had just reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. Although he yearned for sword cultivation, he knew that he could not cultivate any powerful sword techniques in two months. Instead of wasting time on this, he might as well find a way to improve the power of his own magic.
In two months, Lin Mu was confident that he could improve his cultivation to the eighth level of Qi Refining. At that time, he would be able to compete with the tenth-level Qi Refining cultivators.
In terms of attack power, the fourth-level "Geng Jin Jue" was unmatched and sharp. There was no need to worry about this.
But in terms of defense, Lin Mu found that he was very weak.
Most of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage practice magic, and a few people with rich wealth offer a low-grade magic weapon. Such strength is not much better than Lin Mu.
But these low-level magics should not be underestimated.
At least, Lin Mu's "Geng Jin Jue" can penetrate the body of the cultivator, and the attack power is very strong. The "Geng Jin Jue" that Lin Mu learned is just a planting-type magic. Those authentic gold-based magics, such as the low-level gold-based magic "Golden Needle Jue", are equally powerful. Of course, compared with the "Geng Jin Jue" which is now at the fourth level, it is slightly inferior.
Even so, a "Golden Needle Jue" may cause Lin Mu to die.
Fortunately, there are only a few cultivators with gold-based spiritual roots, but no one dares to guarantee that some people have two-based spiritual roots and deliberately hide their strength. Even if they learn the "Golden Needle Jue", they will not use it.
Just like when Lin Mu dealt with Ma Huayuan, he used endless magic to confuse Ma Huayuan's judgment, and then used the "Geng Jin Jue" to kill him with one blow.
The power of a spell like the Golden Needle Art is too great. If one fails to dodge in time, he will be seriously injured and inevitably lose.
However, these spells are not without countermeasures. After all, they are low-level spells. If the cultivator is agile and quick, as long as he can dodge, he can escape.
Lin Mu's idea is to make himself more agile. If he moves quickly and reaches the point where not a single leaf touches him, no matter how powerful his spells are, he can't do anything to him.
After making this decision, Lin Mu took the spirit stone and went straight to the Sutra Library.
Arriving at Luoxia Peak, Lin Mu walked into the Scripture Depository Pavilion.
Lin Mu carefully selected among the many wooden shelves, and finally found two suitable jade slips on the auxiliary wooden shelves.
Among the many techniques, there are two that can make practitioners move more quickly.
One is the "Wind Control Technique" and the other is the "Divine Movement Technique".
Techniques are divided into five elements. If there is no corresponding spiritual root, it is impossible to learn them. For example, it is impossible for a fire-type single-spiritual cultivator to learn the "Blue Water Art".
But there are also some neutral spells that can be learned regardless of spiritual roots.
For example, "Wind Control Technique", "Divinity Movement Technique", "Sound Transmission Technique", etc. Although these techniques are not very powerful and are mostly auxiliary techniques, they are superior in number. If used properly, a single spiritual root cultivation can There are also many techniques that a person can learn.
Of course, these questions are of no concern to Lin Mu, who has five elements spiritual roots.
Although Lin Mu could not compete with those cultivators of single spiritual roots in terms of cultivation speed, Lin Mu far surpassed them in terms of selection of techniques.
Although both "Wind Control Technique" and "Divinity Movement Technique" can increase movement speed, their emphasis is different.
"Wind Control Technique", as the name suggests, can make the practitioner fly for a short period of time and jump more than ten feet at a time.
"Divine Movement Technique" cannot make the cultivator fly into the air, but its speed on the ground is slightly better than "Wind Control Technique".
Lin Mu thought about it and felt that "Wind Control" was more suitable for him.
Especially when facing a fire spiritual root cultivator, facing several fireballs flying in succession, no matter how you move, you cannot dodge. But if you can suddenly fly into the air and avoid these fireballs, it won't be difficult.
Although "Divine Movement Technique" is faster, it is not as good as "Wind Control Technique" in terms of changes.
Holding the jade slip with the "Wind Control Technique" written on it, Lin Mu went to the old guard and paid the spirit stone.
This "Wind Control Technique" jade slip actually cost sixty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, which made Lin Mu speechless.
The asking price for a mere low-level spell is so high.
It's no wonder that the elders don't recommend practitioners in the Qi refining stage to learn spells. Ordinary cultivators really can't afford it.
Lin Mu was glad that the technique he just started learning was "Basic Five Elements Technique". Although the planting spell is not as powerful as the low-level spells at the beginning, it is cheaper. After some hard training, the third-level planting technique has become comparable to low-level techniques.
Nowadays, the fourth-level planting technique is slightly better than the low-level technique, and can be compared with the mid-level technique in terms of control.
Holding the jade slip, Lin Mu bowed slightly to the old man and slowly walked out of the Scripture Collection Pavilion.
After Lin Mu came out, the old man looked at Lin Mu's back with a faint smile on his lips.
