Chapter 280 The Peak of Foundation Establishment
Baibao Pavilion is cold and quiet, with no one paying attention.
The business in the store is getting worse and worse day by day.
Now, there are no less than 20,000 "Explosive Flame Talisman" accumulated in Baibao Pavilion!
The hot scene before never happened again.
Even if Gu Chen had a huge sale with a price reduction, and each "Explosive Flame Talisman" only cost 25 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, no one would buy it.
The balance of supply and demand has been broken. There is no demand among practitioners today, so no matter how much supply there is, it is useless.
In such a situation, Lin Mu also felt a headache and was helpless.
Now the demon tribe is massacring cultivators, and even cultivators in the late stage of Lingji can hardly protect themselves among them.
As for practitioners in the foundation-building stage, if they go to the misty forest, they will almost never return, and they will definitely die.
Under such circumstances, no one would dare to go to the Misty Forest again.
Although hunting monsters makes money, life is more important.
The demon clan has now sent out a large number of seventh-level demonic beasts, and ordinary cultivators are not yet arrogant enough to compete with the seventh-level demonic beasts.
As for the Jindan cultivators, they dare not get involved easily because of the human-monster agreement.
Once a human-male war breaks out, no one can bear such serious consequences.
No one dared to go to the misty forest anymore, and the talisman and seal had no use. Naturally, no one came to the Baibao Pavilion to buy it.
Under such circumstances, even the sales of jade slips in the store dropped sharply, and only a few pieces were sold every day.
No one knows how long this situation will last.
As long as the massacre of the demon clan does not subside, Baibao Pavilion's business will not be able to return to its former glory.
In fact, in Linwufang today, Baibao Pavilion is not the worst.
Many small shops have closed down.
In Linwufang, the shops are precious and the monthly rent is a huge expense.
Now that you can't hunt monsters, the sales of various items have declined to varying degrees.
The income of small shops is not enough to pay rent, so losses are inevitable.
Baibao Pavilion has been bought by Lin Mu, so there is no need to worry about the rent issue, but it is not an option in the long run.
In the entire Linwufang, there are only a few large stores, such as Qianbao Pavilion. Because the stores sell a wide variety of items, the sharp drop in sales of certain goods does not damage its roots and does not have a great impact on the store itself.
Having said that, as long as the demon tribe doesn't stop killing them, even Qianbao Pavilion's business will not be as good as before.
It is surprising to say that the massacre of the demon clan came out of nowhere.
Linwufang is now full of rumors and people are panicking.
No one knows what happened to make the demon clan do this.
Many golden elixir cultivators also feel like they are in the clouds and don’t know why.
Although the relationship between the demon clan and the cultivators has never been too friendly, it is still tepid and peaceful.
In this massacre, the demon clan sent out Golden Core cultivators, which shows how serious the situation is.
Some people have rumors that perhaps the cultivators hunt monsters too frequently. Especially in the past two years, cultivators have used talismans extensively and hunted many monsters, but the cultivators themselves suffered very few casualties. Originally, the hunt for monsters was a tacit agreement between the two parties and was based on mutual benefit. Now that the balance has been broken, the monster clan is in disgrace, and it is logical to expel the cultivators.
Some people also say that some cultivators went to the stronghold of the demon clan and stole important treasures of the demon clan, which made the elders of the demon clan furious. That's why the demon clan issued a massacre order and killed the cultivators to vent their anger.
There is also a human saying that the demon clan has been silent for hundreds of years and has been accumulating strength just because it wants to start a war with the cultivators. This massacre is just a warm-up. Everything has just begun, and the crisis is yet to come.
All kinds of speculations are worrying.
If they can no longer hunt monsters, many sects will be severely hit.
After all, hunting monsters has been around for a long time, and many sects have become dependent on it. Now that they are suddenly unable to hunt monsters, many sects are also finding it very difficult. Some far-sighted sects have already begun to consider transformation.
This turmoil actually didn't have much impact on Lin Mu.
He has always been self-reliant. He grows and refines all the elixirs by himself, without any dependence on hunting monsters.
Moreover, the business in the store is now deserted, which is not a bad thing.
Lin Mu has always suffered from not having time to practice hard. Now that he has some free time, Lin Mu plans to work hard to practice hard.
The 400 acres of spiritual fields on the island in the center of the lake have long been mature, and the 18,000 materials harvested have not yet been refined.
The eighty acres of spiritual fields in the Xuan Yue Space also harvested 3,600 materials for refining Shuiyundan.
These materials all need to be refined.
Lin Mu discussed it with his mother and Yunmeng, and the three of them left Linwufang and returned to the island in the middle of the lake. Only Gu Chen was left here to guard the store. Now that the business in the store was not satisfactory, Gu Chen alone was enough to take care of everything. .
Before leaving, Lin Mu went to Wufang Residence again and learned that Gu Yun was still in seclusion to recover from his injuries. He left words for Luan Cai and asked him to tell Gu Yun that he needed to be in seclusion for a period of time. Celebrate together.
Although both of them were injured during this collection of herbs, the harvest was huge.
Lin Mu collected hundreds of thousand-year-old elixirs, and Gu Yun also collected dozens of them. One thousand-year-old elixir is worth at least 300,000 spiritual stones. The two of them gained no less than tens of millions of dollars during this trip. Low grade spirit stone!
But Lin Mu was not sure about using these thousand-year-old elixirs.
No matter what kind of elixir is refined into the fifth-grade elixir, it is not something he can control now.
Fourth-grade bleeding flowers are the main ingredient in refining the Hehe Hemostasis Pill. Lin Mu also harvested a lot of bleeding flowers, but there is still a long way to go before he can refine the Hehe Hemostasis Pill. Although he could barely refine it with his current level of alchemy, the success would definitely be unsatisfactory. Instead of wasting the elixir, it would be better to wait until his level of alchemy improves before refining it.
As for the spiritual elixir needed by Yinxin, it was far beyond Lin Mu's level.
The Chong Ling Dan is a fifth-grade elixir, and even someone with the Ice Fairy's superb alchemy skills may not be able to refine it.
Yinxin Shouyuan only has more than twenty years, and Lin Mu is not sure whether he can refine the spirit elixir before his deadline.
If he wanted to refine the spirit elixir, Lin Mu could think of many ways.
One is that he himself has reached the golden elixir stage, and his level of alchemy will be greatly improved by then. If he works hard, he will hopefully be able to refine a fifth-grade elixir. After all, his spiritual consciousness is far superior to that of cultivators of the same level. Even Gu Yun's spiritual consciousness cannot compare with him. Once you break through to the golden elixir stage, your spiritual consciousness will definitely be outstanding among the practitioners of the golden elixir stage. The most important thing in alchemy is spiritual consciousness and fire control level. If the level of fire control can be improved by then, it is not impossible to refine the spiritual elixir.
The second is to ask the Ice Fairy for help. The Ice Fairy is like ice that lasts forever, and no one can guess what she is thinking. Lin Mu didn't know whether she was on Shi Weihan's side or on Yinxin's side. If she had listened to Shi Weihan, Lin Mu would never dare to hand over these thousand-year-old elixirs to her. However, it’s hard to say all this. When Lin Mu went to visit Yinxin that day, he saw the Ice Fairy flying out of Yinxin's cave. Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between the two.
If by that time, neither he nor the Ice Fairy can refine the spirit elixir, Lin Mu has one last plan.
That is, please ask Master Wushuang for help.
As Master Wushuang is the number one person in Tianxiao Realm, few people can ask him for help.
But Lin Mu was willing to try his best.
Considering that he and Guyun had a life-long friendship, the matter was not completely hopeless.
Master Wushuang loves Gu Yun very much. If Lin Mu asks Gu Yun for help, Gu Yun will definitely not refuse.
With this plan in mind, Lin Mu said goodbye to Luan Cai, and then left with Mother Lin and Yun Meng.
The three of them escaped extremely fast, and returned to the island in the middle of the lake in an hour or two.
Back at the island in the middle of the lake, Lin Mu exchanged greetings with his father and disciples, and everyone was smiling.
Due to poor business in the shop, Lin Mu asked his disciples to stop making talismans and go back to their houses to practice hard.
Later, Lin Mu discussed with his parents and planned to immediately refine the third-grade elixir and let his parents continue to practice hard in seclusion.
Father Lin and Mother Lin didn't refuse too much, so they took the third-grade elixir refined from the stone and went back to the house to practice hard.
Lin Mu left the stone to continue refining the elixir outside, and then took Yunmeng back to the wooden house, placed a ban on him, and brought him into the rotating moon space. There was still a lot of Shuiyun Pill left in Yunmeng's body, so Lin Mu asked her to practice hard in the hut.
In the whirling moon space, the spiritual energy is extremely rich. With Yunmeng's qualifications, if coupled with the third-grade Shuiyun Pill, his cultivation will be improved by leaps and bounds.
Yunmeng is now at the peak of the middle stage of Lingji, and is only one step away from the late stage of Lingji.
Yunmeng went into the hut to practice hard, while Lin Mu was refining Shuiyundan outside.
Lin Mu spent half a year refining the 3,600 ingredients in the rotating moon space, and refined a total of 3,000 bottles of Water Cloud Pill. This amount of Shuiyun Dan is enough for Yunmeng to practice hard for several years. After handing the elixir to Yunmeng, Lin Mu exited the rotating moon space.
The Whirling Moon Pendant needs to absorb moonlight in order to slowly advance.
Nowadays, Lin Mu stays outside unless necessary, letting the Xuan Yue Pendant absorb the essence of the moon.
After refining elixirs outside for a period of time, the Xuan Yue Pendant can also absorb a lot of the essence of the moon. Then entering it to practice hard will also relieve a lot of pressure in the Xuan Yue space.
Refining alchemy is extremely boring and cumbersome. It is nothing more than repetitive and requires extreme seriousness.
After Lin Mu and Shitou's alchemy skills improved greatly, they did not dare to relax at all.
Based on the speed at which the two of them were refining the elixir, it only took them more than a year to refine all 18,000 ingredients.
A total of fifteen thousand bottles of third-grade elixirs were refined!
The third-grade elixir was extremely effective, and Lin Mu only consumed five or six hundred bottles a year.
Fifteen thousand bottles of third-grade elixirs are enough for five people to practice for five years.
Lin Mu took out 4,000 bottles of third-grade elixirs and gave them to Shi Shi, kept 4,000 bottles for himself, and gave the remaining 7,000 bottles to his parents.
With a smile on his face, Shitou took four thousand bottles of elixirs with him and went back to his house to practice hard.
After taking these third-grade elixirs, he is extremely confident that he can reach the peak of the foundation building stage!
Lin Mu left all the external matters to his father and Shitou to take care of them, and then he plunged into the rotating moon space.
This time, he wants to focus on nothing else and completely retreat into seclusion!
…
Time flies and flies by. With a flick of the finger, five years have passed.
On the island in the center of the lake, the four hundred acres of third-grade elixirs are all ripe again!
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Shitou have come out of seclusion. The three of them and dozens of disciples are collecting elixirs.
After several years of hard training and thousands of bottles of elixirs exhausted, Father Lin and Mother Lin's cultivation level was extremely close to the peak of the foundation building stage.
Stone's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds and has reached the peak of the foundation building stage!
The past five years have passed outside, but the past ten years have passed in the orbiting moon space!
On this day, Lin Mu and Yunmeng walked out of the wooden house at the same time and exited the customs together.
Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, and they were inexplicably happy.
After ten years of hard training, Lin Mu's cultivation has reached the peak of the foundation building stage!
Yunmeng advanced rapidly and reached the peak of the spiritual silence stage!
