Chapter 283 Preparing Elders (12)
Sword shadows clattered, and the momentum was mighty.
Shitou stepped on the Golden Shadow Sword, full of vigor and spirit, and flew in front.
Forty-nine foundation-building disciples followed closely behind with all their strength.
Lin Mu and Yun Meng were free and easy, floating at the end, as if strolling in a garden.
Looking at the disciples in front, Lin Mu couldn't help but smile.
At the beginning, when these fifty disciples first came, he brought fifty people together with a giant top-grade magic weapon, the Wind Boat. Now that they are back again, all fifty disciples are already in the foundation-building stage! Among them, several hard-working practitioners, such as Shi Jian, Jing Qi, Xin Yan, Lu Yuan, Zhong Hao, Meng Jun and others, are already in the middle stage of foundation-building! Although Gu Chen did not go back with them, his strength was by no means bad among these fifty disciples, and he could even be said to be the strongest!
Gu Chen is now so wealthy that even the spiritual solitude cultivators envy him, and there is no pressure to buy two top-grade magic weapons.
A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who possesses one top-grade magical instrument, can compete with a cultivator in the Spiritual Silence Stage. If he possesses two, he will be hard to beat among the cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage, and he will be as lonely as snow.
It took Lin Mu only ten years for fifty disciples to reach such strength!
Only those disciples with excellent talents in Qianyu Sword Sect can barely achieve such a speed of advancement.
Ordinary cultivators will only bury their heads in hard work and are not good at using resources, such as elixirs and magical instruments.
The reason why fifty disciples can advance so quickly is all due to the cultivation of elixirs.
This resource is extremely easy for Lin Mu, but it is extremely rare for those Qi Refining Stage disciples.
How many Qi Refining Stage disciples can have their own cave paradise and hundreds of acres of spiritual fields like him, and have the level of high-level alchemists, and can freely refine elixirs? I am afraid that there will be no second one even if I search the Tianxiao Realm.
If a high-level cultivator wants to cultivate a low-level cultivator, it is much faster than the cultivator himself simply practicing hard.
Of course, this method is only suitable for low-level cultivators.
The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the more resources are spent on training and the greater the difficulty.
In general, a sect can train a certain number of spiritual solitude cultivators with some effort, but the resources consumed to train a golden elixir cultivator are too huge and full of uncertainty. Condensing a golden elixir requires qualifications and resources, but it also requires understanding and opportunity. It is not possible to cultivate a golden elixir cultivator by spending a lot of resources.
On the contrary, some spiritual solitude cultivators do not have excellent qualifications, but they can condense a golden elixir successfully by luck.
This is opportunity!
Therefore, no matter how powerful a spiritual solitude cultivator is, if he cannot condense a golden elixir, he is just a spiritual solitude cultivator.
No matter how ordinary a spiritual solitude cultivator is, as long as he can condense a golden elixir, he can become a master admired by thousands of people.
Although these fifty disciples have mediocre qualifications, it is not impossible for a golden elixir cultivator to appear if there is an opportunity in the future.
The group of people flew straight to Qianyu Sword Gate.
The road was unimpeded, and all the cultivators who came and went dodged.
The strength of more than fifty people was not something that those lone cultivators could contend with.
A small sect, such as the Refining Weapon Sect, would probably not have such a strong strength.
Although there were only three people, Lin Mu, Shitou, and Yun Meng, who were in the Spiritual Silence Stage, and the number of top cultivators might not be comparable to that of the Refining Weapon Sect, if they really fought against the enemy, Lin Mu's strength would not be difficult to fight three or even four.
After all, Shitou had done it ten years ago.
More than fifty people went all the way.
In a few days, they arrived at Qianyu Sword Gate.
The mist was vast, and Qianyu Peak was hidden in the sea of clouds, like a mirage, seemingly real and illusory.
At the foot of the mountain, there was still a group of mortals kneeling, densely packed, looking forward to being able to worship.
These mortals, ragged, disfigured, and messy, were like garbage thrown away by someone, with no one to pick up or clean up.
Lin Mu glanced at the mortals at the foot of the mountain and found that the group of people before had disappeared.
The old ones left, the new ones came, but how many people could join the Qianyu Sword Sect?
Lin Mu couldn't help but think of a woman who shocked his soul more than ten years ago, Hua Jin, and he didn't know how she was doing now.
At that time, the Ice Fairy made an exception and accepted her as a true disciple. With the Ice Fairy's vigorous training, her cultivation must be good.
These colorful and chaotic thoughts flashed through Lin Mu's mind, and then he regained his calm.
Squinting at the fog sea in front of him, Lin Mu smiled slightly.
Then, he pinched his hands and hit more than ten spells into the fog sea in a row.
Under the stimulation of the spells, the fog sea surged like a tide.
Such a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth immediately alarmed the mortals below.
Groups of mortals, with desire flashing in their eyes, began to run up the mountain as if they were risking their lives.
The fog sea surged violently, and the mountain gate opened wide.
The mist was floating, and the music was lingering.
Shi Weihan came out with four elders to greet them personally.
Behind Shi Weihan and the four elders was a group of spiritual practitioners.
Lin Mu glanced around, but did not find Leng Shan, Luo Chen and the others.
Without thinking too much, Lin Mu and his disciples hurried to greet them.
"Master, you are so kind to me. I am really ashamed." Lin Mu smiled before he flew to Shi Weihan.
There was no trace of shame on his face.
The forty-nine disciples behind him also smiled and followed suit.
The forty-nine disciples were extremely excited at this moment.
When they were in the sect before, no one cared about them, but the master would never do that.
Now that they are back, the master actually greets them personally.
There is a huge difference, and everyone sighed.
Shi Weihan had a warm smile on his face: "Don't say that. You promised a thousand dollars, and you actually cultivated fifty foundation-building disciples for the sect within ten years. Such an achievement should be welcomed with open doors!"
His voice was like spring breeze, warming people's hearts. The faces of the more than 40 disciples became more and more excited.
Lin Mu still had a smile on his face: "My disciple is fortunate to have lived up to his command."
While speaking, he glanced at Elder Luo Yan.
Elder Luo Yan had a bright smile on his face, already understanding, and said with a hearty smile: "You have achieved such feats, enough to become a reserve elder in the sect! If you work hard and practice hard, once you successfully condense the golden elixir, you will immediately become a formal elder "
As soon as these words came out, the cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage immediately became uproar.
"Preparatory Elder!"
"The status is so high!"
"How can this be?"
"Obviously partiality!"
Everyone was talking and talking as if Elder Luo Yan didn't exist.
Lin Mu glanced at the people shouting the most fiercely in the crowd, and then looked at Shi Weihan, with a faint smile on his lips.
The status of preparatory elders is much higher than that of true disciples. Although it is not as good as that of formal elders, it is similar. The resources provided by the sect far exceed those of true disciples. If Lin Mu can become a reserve elder, he can legitimately use Qianyu Sword Sect to accumulate resources.
Even when he was attacking the golden elixir stage, other true disciples were also attacking at the same time, and the resources were given priority to Lin Mu.
This advantage is simply unimaginable.
Lin Mu worked hard and remained silent for a long time just for this day.
After all, with his own efforts, even if he had his own shop, it would be difficult for him to condense the golden elixir.
A large sect cannot cultivate a golden elixir-level cultivator for decades or hundreds of years.
Lin Mu was not sure that he could successfully condense the golden elixir for himself, his parents, Shitou, and Yunmeng all by himself.
In particular, both parents are mortals with low qualifications.
If we rely on the power of Qianyu Sword Sect, there may be a glimmer of hope.
But looking at the current situation, the hope of becoming a preparatory elder is really slim.
Ever since he and Luo Yan became friends, he had clearly felt that Shi Weihan was suppressing him more and more.
Perhaps Shi Weihan would not say clearly that he was not qualified, but the group of practitioners in the Spiritual Silence Stage behind him were obviously deliberately arranged.
With this group of people standing in the way, success is likely to be almost zero.
Looking calmly at the group of Spirit Silence Stage cultivators behind Shi Weihan, Lin Mu couldn't help but have a smile on his face, but there was a chill in his heart that penetrated his heart and almost froze him.
Shi Weihan was cunning and scheming, far beyond his expectations.
Lin Mu's strength is obvious to all in the Qianyu Sword Sect, and even Leng Shan is no match for him. If Shi Weihan sends a group of super powerful spiritual disciples here, Lin Mu is confident that with his current strength, he is not afraid of anyone!
But unfortunately, Shi Weihan brought some disciples who were in the early stage of Lingji and the middle stage of Lingji.
Compared with Lin Mu, the strength of these disciples is too inferior. Lin Mu's victory is really not strong.
He simply couldn't use the trick he did last time to defeat those who blocked him, but if he was trying to reason, how could he alone speak to this group of people? If nothing unexpected happened, his plan today would probably be ruined.
Moreover, Lin Mu didn’t know any of these disciples in the Spiritual Silence Stage.
This also means that during these ten years, time has not been cold or idle.
This group of cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage were newly trained by him.
It was obviously a demonstration against Lin Mu!
The whole place fell into silence.
Shitou stood behind Lin Mu, his blood welling up, and he immediately stepped out from the crowd, using all his strength to activate his spiritual power, releasing a powerful momentum, pointing at a group of practitioners in the spiritual silence stage, and said loudly: "What qualifications do you have to dissatisfy? Those who dissatisfy, Come out and fight me!"
As soon as the powerful aura of the stone came out, a group of cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage immediately fell silent, no one dared to speak.
More than forty disciples looked up at the stone with great admiration.
In front of the leader, Shitou actually dared to act violently!
Lin Mu frowned and immediately shouted: "Lin Shi, come back!"
The powerful aura of the stone immediately poured out and flew back behind Lin Mu angrily.
"Shitou is ignorant, don't be offended by the master. If this disciple goes back, he will be severely punished!" Lin Mu then said to Shi Weihan with a smile.
Shi Weihan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young people are inevitably anxious. It's not surprising."
His smile didn't seem to be fake, but he didn't mention anything about preparing elders.
Luo Yan couldn't stand it anymore and started to put pressure on him, saying: "At the beginning, I promised Lin Mu that as long as he could successfully train fifty foundation-building disciples within ten years, I would recommend him to be a reserve elder. Now he has done it. I will honor my promise and fully recommend you!”
Shi Weihan glanced at Luo Yan, his face solemn and speechless.
There was silence for a moment.
An invisible pressure spread.
The faces of all the foundation-building disciples were red and they were trying their best to endure it.
Just when it seemed that the foundation-building disciples could no longer hold on, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Lin Mu's achievements are more than enough to serve as a preparatory elder!"
The voice was cold, Lin Mu was startled, and he quickly looked at the speaker.
It's the Ice Fairy!
Shi Weihan's expression couldn't help but change, and he turned to look at the Ice Fairy.
The Ice Fairy's face remained as usual, like thousands of years of ice that would never change. She said calmly: "More than ten years ago, I also accepted a disciple named Hua Jin. Does the master still remember it?"
Shi Weihan nodded gently.
The Ice Fairy said: "I have tried my best to train him. Hua Jin is only in the late stage of foundation building. Lin Mu has trained fifty disciples in ten years, and they have all reached the foundation building stage. With such achievements, why can't he become a preparatory elder?"
"If he can't do that, then I don't deserve to be an elder either!" Ice Fairy made the final decision.
The whole place fell into silence, and the sea of fog drifted away.
Lin Mu felt inexplicably moved and felt strange, staring at the Ice Fairy closely.
Shi Weihan's expression returned to calm, and he took a deep look at the Ice Fairy.
The Ice Fairy's face was as cold as ice.
Shi Weihan immediately turned around, looked at Lin Mu, and said with a smile: "Elder Han Bing and Elder Luo Yan both said so. I will not object. With your achievements, you are enough to become a reserve elder!"
Lin Mu's smile suddenly bloomed, as bright as a flower, and he hurriedly saluted and thanked her.
At this time, there was a noise below.
A group of mortals, running with all their strength, had already reached the mountain gate.
The crowd was extremely excited and kept shouting.
"Take me in!"
"I will practice hard!"
Shi Weihan glanced at the disciple below, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the color of the world suddenly changed.
A huge palm fell from the sky and struck straight down.
The crowd was swallowed up by the giant palm. The light of the giant palm dispersed, leaving only a huge palm print in place.
A group of mortals all lost their lives. From the palm prints, blood flowed like a river.
Lin Mu and all the disciples took a breath of air.
Luo Yan and the Ice Fairy looked calm and showed no reaction.
Shi Weihan immediately turned around, looked at Lin Mu, and said with a smile on his face: "Let's go back to the door to talk about everything!"
