Chapter 759: Making Friends
Lin Mu had a faint smile on his face, looking calm and calm.
He has now reached the state of being unfazed by favors and humiliations. If it is not endangering himself, other people's comments will not have much impact on him.
Disparagement and praise are just casual remarks made by other people in the flip of their lips. They have nothing to do with him. He has already taken it lightly.
No matter how stupid he is, or how talented he is, he is still who he is, and he will not change because of other people's slander.
Lin Mu soon got down to business.
He has been staying in the Xu family, not just for a short stay. It is true that as Xu Hong said, he cannot be Xu Jiao's personal bodyguard with peace of mind. He does have his own ideas.
However, he did not want to take advantage of Xu Jiao or anything, but just let nature take its course and never force anything.
He wanted to make this clear to Xu Hong.
In fact, speaking of it, since he came to the Xu family, he has helped Xu Jiao several times. This time, he was of great help to the entire Xu family with the purple sand sea sand refining. , and didn’t ask for anything in return.
"It's a coincidence that when the Tianxiao Realm fell, my junior sister Hua Jin and I got separated. Since then, I have traveled all the way. More than half a year ago, I came to the Jinxiu Realm and found a female cultivator under siege and in danger. She looked familiar to me. , I rescued her, and it turned out as I expected. She is indeed my junior sister Hua Jin, and now she is Xu Jiao's personal bodyguard." Lin Mu said with a smile, "I had just arrived at that time, and I didn't have a place to live. I followed Xu Jiao to the Xu Mansion, and there was a lot of trouble, but I still wanted to see Haihan."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Hong said with a smile, "So, you came to the Splendid World for a purpose?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "I do have some ideas of my own."
Looking at Xu Hong, Lin Mu quickly said: "But please don't worry, I am only staying in Xu Mansion temporarily and have no other intentions. If there is any inconvenience to your mansion, I will move out immediately."
When Lin Mu said this, he immediately left himself completely alone.
Indeed, although he lives in Xu Mansion, he has never taken advantage of Xu Mansion.
Hearing this, Xu Hong smiled quickly and said, "I've noticed that you act aboveboard and aboveboard. Not to mention living here for half a year, or staying in Xu Mansion for a long time in the future, I won't even be happy."
When he said this, he seemed to be showing his favor to Lin Mu.
Taking a sip of tea, Xu Hong asked with a concerned look on his face: "I wonder what you want to do in the Jinxiu world? Although the Xu family is not a big power in the Jinxiu world, it can still be said to be quite powerful in Qianjin City. In other words, maybe I can help."
Seeing that Lin Mu was reluctant to speak, Xu Hong had no choice but to ask.
"It's not a big deal." Lin Mu said with a smile, "You also know that for people like me, who understood the Sword Realm during the Concentration Stage, the Thunder Tribulation is extremely powerful when it hits the Void Return Stage, so you need to take precautions You must be prepared before you can attack, otherwise, you will easily be killed by a thunderstorm, wiped out in ashes, and all your previous efforts will be wasted.”
Xu Hong nodded repeatedly.
"So I came to Jinxiu Realm just to do some business, earn some spiritual stones, accumulate some resources, and buy some powerful magic weapons in the future to increase my confidence in overcoming the disaster." Lin Mu said with a smile.
He said it as if it was an ordinary trivial matter, but Xu Hong felt the blazing ambition behind his words.
During the Concentration Stage, the Sword Domain realm is already at the middle stage of the Sword Domain. How powerful will the Thunder Tribulation be in the future?
It’s unimaginable!
What kind of psychic magic weapon can hope to help him withstand such a powerful thunder disaster?
It would be difficult for practitioners in the integration stage to resist such a thunder catastrophe.
He suddenly felt sympathy for Lin Mu.
Such a peerless genius is of course infinitely beautiful and has a bright future, but at the same time it is also a kind of sadness.
It's not that he's sad because of his talent, but that his background is too sad.
As a casual cultivator, the talent is too high, but there is no corresponding supply of training resources. Everything has to be struggled by oneself. Among them, many detours are destined to be taken and a lot of time is wasted. If the opportunity to overcome the calamity is delayed, a generation of peerless geniuses are destined to... will perish.
If he was born in a super power in the great world and could enjoy endless cultivation resources, he would not need to worry about it at all. He could just practice with peace of mind. With his peerless talent, in the future, let alone impacting the integration stage, he would impact the immortal position and ascend. There is great hope for becoming an immortal!
In Xu Hong's view, Lin Mu's poor background limited his development.
"To be honest, during this period, I also used some power to quietly find out your details." Xu Hong said truthfully, "After all, I also have to consider Xu Jiao's safety, but I can't find out about you. Any past history, even if I know that you and Hua Jin are brothers and sisters from the Tianxiao Realm, I still can’t find out anything.”
"If what you say is true, it's really hard for me to imagine how you went from being a casual cultivator in the foundation-building stage to today. There were only a few hundred years in between. Even if you practice day and night, it is almost impossible, not to mention, you still need to spend a lot of time to accumulate cultivation resources. "
Xu Hong looked at Lin Mu with confusion on his face.
Seeing the leader of one of the five major forces in Qianjin City looking so confused, Lin Mu couldn't help but want to laugh.
Even he himself couldn't figure out his true identity, let alone Xu Hong.
Along the way, the Tianxiao Realm fell, and it is unknown how many cultivators are still alive who are familiar with him. Although Hua Jin is his junior sister, most of what they know about him is what others say.
But his real rise came after he left the Tianxiao Realm.
The Qianfang Realm was his blessed land, but it was also destroyed because of him.
Later, when we arrived in the Spiritual Light World, the black shadows that appeared inexplicably under the Lingshan Temple caused the entire Spiritual Light World to perish, leaving no one alive.
Xu Hong wanted to find out his details, but how could he find out.
These intricate things, except for the Qianfang Realm, which was caused by him becoming a demon and accidentally destroying it, the real reason for the destruction of the other two realms, he is still at a loss and cannot understand.
Even in the Qianfang Realm, he was actually possessed by a demon at the time, and he could not remember everything. He was not sure whether all cultivators in the Qianfang Realm were dead.
It can be said that although he personally experienced the destruction of the Three Realms, it was all hazy.
Even the disappearance of his parents and the stone was inexplicable to him and he didn't know the real reason.
Even he himself was full of doubts. It was simply impossible for Xu Hong to find out his details.
"I am indeed a casual cultivator, but I have good luck. Over the past hundreds of years, I have had some adventures, and I have achieved what I am today." Lin Mu smiled to dispel Xu Hong's doubts, "This time I am in Linhai City, selling "Jade Slips", you must have heard about it. The ethereal fairyland was discovered by me on my own, and it was also the seed that was planted by my adventures back then. "
"Although what you said is very true, and I believe you won't lie, I am still surprised and unbelievable." Xu Hong told the truth, "Your background is destined to be short of resources, and you have to spend a lot of time in this area. However, your achievements are not even comparable to those of the super powerful disciples in the world. It’s so shocking!”
"However, I would also like to remind you that with your talent, it would be much easier if you attached yourself to a superpower as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a pity if you fall short of your achievements due to resource problems and eventually fall. "Xu Hong felt pity for Xi Cai.
Lin Mu nodded secretly.
He understood the meaning of Xu Hong's words, and he could obviously hear such an obvious wooing.
On the road of cultivating immortality, if you want to achieve great achievements by yourself alone, this journey is too difficult. You have to do everything yourself. The risks and twists and turns have increased sharply. The difficulty of cultivation is also higher than that of big forces. sons many times over.
This is how Lin Mu walked along the road. He knows better than anyone the hardships he has endured along the way, so when Xu Hong talks about it, he can empathize with it and experience it deeply.
However, compared to relying on super power, he prefers this kind of casual cultivator life, which is unrestrained and free.
He does not object to using the resources of big forces, but as long as both parties are willing to do so, if there is a big force that wants to use this to oppress him and control him, then there is no need to think about it.
Now, with the misty fairyland, he is even more unwilling.
Maybe ordinary geniuses need to rely on superpowers, but he doesn't.
He has gone down a path that no one else has gone before.
Since you are destined not to be mediocre, let’s shine brightly all the way to the end.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Lin Mu looked at Xu Hong with clear and deep eyes, "I like to make friends and be free, but I don't like to rely on others and act based on other people's faces. I know that if I want to rely on my own Strength, it will be very, very difficult to go all the way, but this is my perseverance.”
Lin Mu's voice was not loud, but the determination between the lines shocked Xu Hong.
He could somewhat understand why Lin Mu had achieved what he did now.
If a person has his own perseverance and never changes his original intention no matter how difficult it is, success will become a matter of course.
Other cultivators may be very talented, but they are too easy to change and easily influenced by others. It is difficult for them to reach a very deep state in a hurry.
Lin Mu's words came from the bottom of his heart. Xu Hong immediately understood that he could give up his previous idea of wanting Lin Mu for his own use.
A cultivator like Lin Mu can only be a friend or an enemy. It is almost impossible to control him.
At least, he couldn't.
If it is done by force, even if he is certain now and can control it by force, with Lin Mu's talent, it will not take long before he can turn over, and then he will probably suffer disaster and suffer the consequences.
Instead of doing this, it is better to be more free and easy. Being able to make such friends is a good thing for the Xu family, whether now or in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Hong couldn't help but said: "I have only heard about your misty fairyland. If you don't tell me in detail, if it is suitable, I plan to buy a jade for the whole Xu family, tens of thousands of people, each one." Jane, what do you think?"
