Chapter 422 Difficulties
Lin Mu kept evolving his sword skills in the sea of consciousness, completely entering a state of selflessness.
With unremitting efforts, the three sword skills of Joaquin Waterfall, Golden Spirit Shuttle, and Heaven-Slashing Divine Sword were fired continuously, and he became more and more proficient and powerful.
After the two-shot sword skill, there was the three-shot sword skill. Lin Mu vaguely felt that he could touch the edge of the three-shot sword skill, but every time he practiced, he fell short.
The three-shot sword skill requires performing three sword skills at the same time. Whether it is spiritual consciousness, swordsmanship, or spiritual power within the body, it has extremely high requirements. There are only a few leaders of the ten sects in the Tianxiao Realm. Several people can comprehend the three-shot sword technique.
Most late-stage Jindan cultivators can usually only perform two consecutive sword skills.
Lin Mu is now only in the foundation building stage and can perform two consecutive sword skills. His swordsmanship is no weaker than that of ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators.
But he was not satisfied with this.
As a natural five-element swordsman, in terms of sword cultivation, he can freely evolve sword techniques in the sea of consciousness, possessing advantages that others cannot match.
With Lin Mu's character, he would definitely not waste his talent. In the past, because his spiritual root qualifications were extremely mediocre, he had to work several times harder to be able to compete with others who could easily cultivate. Even so, he was not far behind others, but came from behind!
Now that he has such an advantage, he must maximize this advantage!
Only by putting in all kinds of efforts to completely widen the gap between you and ordinary people and even geniuses can you live up to your talent.
Of course, this cannot be accomplished through hard work alone.
Otherwise, given that those late Jindan cultivators have a lifespan of more than 500 years and can greatly improve their strength through hard work, he would not be able to catch up with those Jindan cultivators who have been cultivating for hundreds of years.
After reaching a certain level of strength, what is needed is not only hard work, but also understanding and the determination to move forward and overcome all levels!
Compared with the three-shot sword skill and the two-shot sword skill, it seems that it is just an extra sword skill when used. But in fact, this is far from the case.
In terms of power, the three consecutive sword skills are far more powerful than the two consecutive sword skills. The continuous sword skills are not simply the accumulation of the number of sword skills. The more the number of consecutive sword skills, the more inestimable the increase in power.
The cultivators who are also in the late stage of Golden Elixir. Those who can perform three sword skills in a row will definitely be able to defeat the late Jindan cultivators who can only perform two consecutive sword skills in a head-on confrontation.
Lin Mu even believed that if he could perform three consecutive sword skills now, he would be able to defeat ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators!
However, his current cultivation level is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his spiritual power is completely incomparable to those of the Golden Core Stage cultivators. He cannot fight for a long time at all. Even if he takes the Millennium Spiritual Milk, he cannot exert the full power of his sword skills!
The gap in cultivation realm is difficult to make up.
Lin Mu tried again and again in the sea of consciousness. Only when his consciousness was exhausted, he stopped to practice the "Star God Refining Art" to restore his consciousness.
This is the advantage of the Five Elements Sword Body. You don't need to use your spiritual power to slowly practice it. You only need to use your spiritual consciousness to evolve in the sea of consciousness to achieve the same effect.
This speed is several times faster than ordinary sword cultivators!
At the same time, between evolving sword skills, Lin Mu can also practice the "Star God Refining Art" and cultivate his spiritual consciousness.
To Lin Mu's great surprise, while his spiritual consciousness was slowly improving, he was also evolving his sword skills more easily and skillfully.
The two promote each other and each has its own benefits.
However, until a month later, Lin Mu still did not understand the three-shot sword skill.
This is a huge difference from when he quickly realized the three sword skills in succession during the competition in the Tianxiao Realm.
In this regard, Lin Mu was not discouraged at all and took it indifferently.
He understood the principle of accumulation and gain. He had never encountered any major bottlenecks in sword practice before. It was a smooth journey and his swordsmanship attainments naturally improved by leaps and bounds. After he reaches a certain height, it will not be so easy to break through.
At this time, accumulation is needed.
As long as you accumulate it to a certain level, you will naturally be able to easily perform three sword skills in a row!
Hearing the noise outside, Lin Mu stood up from the futon and walked out of the quiet room.
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Shitou all had smiles on their faces when they saw Lin Mu coming out.
"Have you successfully taken all the Danlinggen and refined it?" Lin Mu asked with a smile on his face.
Father Lin smiled and nodded: "Now we can be considered a five-element body with a balanced five elements."
Shitou smiled and said: "When I was practicing, I felt an inexplicable fit with heaven and earth. The wood spiritual energy that I could not sense before could be smoothly incorporated into my body. I no longer need to work hard to transform the five elements. Now the five elements of spiritual energy in my body have already been formed. A perfect balance is perfect for practicing the Five Elements Mind Method.”
Lin Mu smiled and nodded. His parents and the stone had become the body of the five elements, completing his initial idea.
Next, he can implement his previous plan!
"Now that we are all five elements, practicing the "Five Elements Heart Method" to attack the golden elixir is naturally incomparable." Lin Mu said with a smile: "Now that we all have this preliminary condition, we can start preparing to attack the golden elixir. "
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Shitou smiled and nodded.
Lin Mu said: "Preparation for the attack on the golden elixir stage is divided into external preparation and self-preparation. External objects are naturally elixirs, cave heavens and blessed lands, etc. Self-preparation is to improve one's own strength. If we want to become a master of the golden elixir stage, external preparation Things can only be auxiliary and cannot be regarded as the biggest dependence.”
"Now, we need to focus all our attention on improving our own strength and preparing external objects. We will wait until the golden elixir actually begins to condense." Lin Mu said with a smile: "In fact, I already have four copies of the golden elixir resources in my hand, but In order to succeed the first time, and more importantly, in order to have greater strength in the future, it is not appropriate to forcefully attack the golden elixir now."
Father Lin smiled and nodded: "Of course we have to take a longer view, especially now that we have come to Qianfang Realm. Without strong strength in the future, it will be difficult to protect ourselves. This may seem a lot slower, but the benefits are great!"
Mother Lin agreed with a smile.
"Only the smaller the gap between oneself and the golden elixir stage cultivators, the greater the possibility of breaking through to the golden elixir stage!" Lin Mu said: "If there is a huge gap between oneself and the golden elixir stage, it will be extremely difficult to break through. Using resources to break through will also consume a lot of spiritual stones, and even after using resources, there is a high chance of failure!"
Mother Lin nodded with deep understanding: "Our qualifications are extremely poor. Even if we are in the Five Elements Body now, we are only about the same as ordinary cultivators. It is really not appropriate to break through rashly."
Lin Mu smiled faintly: "On the contrary, as long as the foundation is deep enough, it is not difficult to condense the golden elixir. Like me now, except for my cultivation, in other aspects, I am not inferior to the early golden elixir cultivators, and even far ahead! If I You can break through to the golden elixir stage at any time if you want, but as dad said, you have to take a long-term view!”
Shitou asked from the side: "Then what preparations should we make?"
Lin Mu glanced at the stone and said with a smile: "A lot. Whether it's spiritual consciousness or physical strength, you are still a long way from the golden elixir stage! If you want to have strong strength after condensing the golden elixir, it is also a top priority to improve your swordsmanship now. "
Mother Lin smiled and said: "The stone is already made very well, and now I can perform sword skills, which is no worse than ordinary early-stage Jindan cultivators."
Lin Mu shook his head and said: "Not enough, this is far from enough."
Looking deeply at the stone, Lin Mu said firmly: "If you want to become a human master and have your own freedom in the future, you have to put in much more effort than others. At least, before condensing the golden elixir, you must be able to understand something. Two sword skills!"
"Comprehend the two-shot sword skill." Lin's father frowned, and immediately scolded Lin Mu: "The two-shot sword skill is so easy to comprehend. It must take a long time. This requirement is too high. When will he be able to master it? Golden elixir?”
Lin Mu's face froze, and then he said: "This is for his own good. Now I can perform three sword skills with two consecutive shots, and I am still trying to master the three sword skills with three consecutive shots. Who thought I could do it before? In this world There are so many miracles, I believe stones can also create them!”
Shitou nodded excitedly: "I will work hard to improve my swordsmanship. If I don't understand the sword skills, I will never attack the golden elixir!"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Swordsmanship is related to your future strength, but your own foundation cannot be ignored. Your current physique can only be comparable to that of ordinary peak cultivators of the Spiritual Silence stage, and is still far behind the physique of the Golden Core cultivators. Distance, this also requires effort! And spiritual consciousness, you are too bad, there is no merit at all."
Shitou's face turned red for a while, but his eyes became more determined, vowing to improve himself.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mu smiled slightly, his stimulation had an effect.
Father Lin and Mother Lin frowned, and they all complained to Lin Mu: "Your demands are too high."
Lin Mu smiled and shook his head: "This is indeed not a requirement for ordinary people, but I believe that stones can do it!"
Father Lin and Mother Lin frowned and said nothing.
Lin Mu smiled and said: "You are ignoring one thing. Shitou himself is not an ordinary person. He started practicing when he was very young, and his cultivation advanced at an alarming rate. He is also hopeful of meeting these requirements. More importantly, he is still very young and has a lot of time to practice hard! Youth is capital!”
Father Lin stamped his foot: "You mean, your mother and I can no longer practice hard training when we are old?"
"How dare I!" Lin Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I don't believe it yet. Although your mother and I are old and have very short lifespans, I tell you, if our consciousness and body are not comparable to those of the golden elixir cultivators, we will never be able to condense the golden elixir. !" Father Lin snorted angrily.
Mother Lin added: "Also, you must be able to perform a sword skill!"
Lin Mu's expression changed and he said helplessly: "Why are you doing this!"
"We are willing!" Father Lin and Mother Lin said in unison.
Seeing that Lin Mu had nothing to say, the two looked at Shitou and laughed heartily. Shitou scratched his head and started laughing.
Lin Mu had no choice but to immediately start discussing with the three of them how to practice cultivation.
To enhance his consciousness and body, Lin Mu possesses the "Star God Refining Technique" and the "Pulse Quenching Technique" respectively.
But what worries Lin Mu is that practicing the "Star Divine Refining Art" and "Pulse Tempering Art" are very risky, and even if they fail, they will die!
To be on the safe side, he was not willing to let his parents and Shitou take such a risk.
