Chapter 1423: Breaking the Shackles
Lin Mu was very pleased with Xiao Qingmei's progress.
In the past six months, under his unreasonable torture, Xiao Qingmei had accumulated a lot of combat experience.
When fighting against others, he already has his own style.
The reason why he has not been able to fight Lin Mu for more than three rounds is because Lin Mu has not let go.
Although Lin Mu limited his strength to the same level as Xiao Qingmei.
But he only used sword moves at the beginning, which was enough to easily defeat Xiao Qingmei in three rounds.
But later, the sword moves were no longer able to do anything to Xiao Qingmei.
While Xiao Qingmei was attacking, her initial flaw was huge. One sword move was enough to defeat her.
But with the improvement of strength and experience, Xiao Qingmei's flaws became smaller and smaller when she attacked. Even later, some of the seemingly flaws were actually traps she deliberately left.
Moreover, these small flaws, sometimes even if they are real flaws, cannot directly defeat Xiao Qingmei with just one sword move.
Under the same strength, even if Lin Mu is extremely experienced and knows many techniques, he cannot defeat Xiao Qingmei within three moves with just sword moves.
Later, Lin Mu started to use sword skills.
Sword skills and sword moves can be used flexibly.
But generally using sword skills, Xiao Qingmei would be defeated.
Xiao Qingmei was very happy when Lin Mu used his sword skills.
She had always felt that her master was unfathomable and could easily defeat her with sword moves.
When she saw Lin Mu using his sword skills, she knew that her strength had improved a lot.
But now, five months later, Lin Mu and Xiao Qingmei have completely abandoned sword moves in their sparring, and all use sword skills.
However, the sword skills he used were just pure sword skills, and he did not use continuous sword skills.
Under Lin Mu's constant pressure, Xiao Qingmei once again made a breakthrough in the way of swordsmanship. She was already able to achieve seven consecutive sword skills!
At the peak of the foundation building stage, being able to reach this level is basically considered invincible!
The peak cultivator in the spiritual silence stage is no match for Xiao Qingmei.
Of course, the quality of Xiao Qingmei's flying sword was still too poor.
If the opponent's flying sword is far more powerful than Xiao Qingmei's flying sword, and if his own swordsmanship is passable, he can still compete with Xiao Qingmei.
But such cultivators are in the minority after all.
Moreover, it was impossible for Lin Mu to let Feijian hold up Xiao Qingmei's hind legs.
Refining a high-quality flying sword actually doesn't mean much.
Lin Mu planned that after Xiao Qingmei condensed the golden elixir, he would let her refine a magic weapon, at least a flying sword at the level of her own magic weapon!
In less than two years, Xiao Qingmei went from a mortal who knew nothing to a peak cultivator in the foundation building stage. She was only one step away from being able to condense golden elixirs.
With such a great achievement, Lin Mu was even happier than if he had cultivated to this point.
Lin Mu really wanted to see what kind of achievements Xiao Qingmei could achieve under his full training, and whether he could surpass his original self!
At present, there is still great hope!
Although he was well-known in the world at the beginning and was hailed as the first genius in history, he had surpassed many peerless genius cultivators in the past.
But compared to him, Xiao Qingmei, at least in the beginning, at this initial stage, has an advantage over him.
Xiao Qingmei is only fourteen years old now, and is already about to condense the golden elixir!
If Lin Mu directly helps Xiao Qingmei refine some rare elixirs needed to condense the golden elixir, Xiao Qingmei now has great hope of becoming a golden elixir cultivator!
It’s terrifying to think about a fourteen-year-old Jindan cultivator!
Moreover, compared to his original self, Xiao Qingmei's talent was not inferior at all. In the past, Lin Mu still had to do a lot of things, such as refining elixirs and making talismans, learning formations, fighting with people, and competing for resources, which took a lot of time.
And Xiao Qingmei not only started better than herself, she also didn't have to waste time on those aspects, she could focus on practicing.
If I had been able to ignore everything and just practice, maybe my swordsmanship would have reached the late stage of the Sword Domain.
Although it has reached the realm of swordsmanship, it will take hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of years to advance to a small realm with swordsmanship, which may not be possible.
But Lin Mu finally has hope and can elevate his swordsmanship to the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
The pinnacle of the sword domain!
This is the supreme realm of cultivators!
It is said that above the sword domain is the world of swords, which is a realm that only immortals can possess.
If Lin Mu could understand the peak of the sword realm, perhaps there would not be such a big disaster.
Of course, he had no choice.
He also had to do many things.
If he had not created the Misty Fairyland and spent a lot of thought on this aspect, he would not have been able to improve his spiritual consciousness to such a high level.
If the level of spiritual consciousness is not enough, understanding the sword realm may be more than ten times slower.
It is even more impossible for him to refine all his magic weapons to the level of peerless spiritual treasures.
There are no ifs.
Lin Mu did almost everything he could do, it was perfect!
It was just bad luck and the success fell short.
Xiao Qingmei is completely different.
Lin Mu tried his best to train her. She didn't have to compete for resources or worry about pills. Lin Mu could give her guidance on many risks and difficulties in cultivation.
Lin Mu was extremely optimistic about her prospects and had extremely high expectations.
Naturally, his requirements for Xiao Qingmei were completely different.
Almost harsh, harsh to the extreme.
Xiao Qingmei had been losing for five consecutive months without winning once. He still didn't let Xiao Qingmei win once.
With so many failures, the average cultivator would probably have been beaten into disgrace and lost his fighting spirit.
But Xiao Qingmei didn't.
Lin Mu was also deliberately trying to hone Xiao Qingmei's character.
Xiao Qingmei's journey was so smooth that she never experienced any setbacks.
Whatever difficulties you encounter in the future, your mind will simply not be calm enough.
This training was very helpful in improving Xiao Qingmei's state of mind.
Lin Mu devoted almost everything to Xiao Qingmei's growth, and at the same time he was walking on thin ice.
Xiao Qingmei is a piece of rough jade. What her future achievements will be depends entirely on how Lin Mu builds her.
Lin Mu was deeply afraid that he had not done enough and delayed Xiao Qingmei's future.
Xiao Qingmei is now able to perform seven consecutive sword attacks. With such strength, she can already condense golden elixirs.
But Lin Mu still decided to let Xiao Qingmei continue to settle down and not to act too hastily.
Xiao Qingmei's cultivation is now at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the spiritual power in his body is already very solid due to taking pills and cultivating top-quality spiritual stones, coupled with the hard work of practicing swordsmanship in the past six months.
As for his spiritual consciousness cultivation, since he practices the "Star God Refining Technique", his spiritual consciousness cultivation is also comparable to those in the spiritual silence period.
Because she has practiced the "Quenching Pulse Art", her physique is comparable to those of peak cultivators in the Spirit Silence Stage.
Such strength is enough to reach the Golden Core stage.
But I have higher expectations for her.
Especially the spiritual consciousness, this is the top priority.
Lin Mu is well aware of the importance of spiritual consciousness, especially when it comes to understanding the way of swordsmanship. The realm of spiritual consciousness is a big level higher, and the gap is huge.
Xiao Qingmei's cultivation can be regarded as hard work, but she has only practiced for less than two years until now.
In such a short period of time, because she practiced the Five Elements Kung Fu, her foundation building period was equivalent to other people's spiritual silence period, and the same was true for her spiritual consciousness cultivation.
Even after practicing the "Star God Refining Technique", her consciousness has only become stronger and more solid.
In terms of realm, no breakthrough has been made.
Now that she cannot use the misty fairyland, Lin Mu cannot give her the essence of spiritual consciousness to improve her spiritual consciousness.
But Lin Mu hoped that she could condense the golden elixir after advancing to the golden elixir stage in the realm of spiritual consciousness.
At the same time, although his swordsmanship enabled him to perform seven consecutive sword skills, Lin Mu was still not satisfied.
He hoped that Xiao Qingmei could touch the threshold of the sword's intention and then condense the golden elixir. Perhaps at the golden elixir stage, he would be able to comprehend the sword's intention.
In the foundation building stage, even if the consciousness is promoted to the golden elixir stage, it is difficult to comprehend the sword's intention.
After all, she is different from Lin Mu.
Lin Mu is now able to display his sword intention because this is an ability he already possesses. Even so, it took him a lot of effort.
It is indeed unrealistic for Xiao Qingmei to comprehend the meaning of the sword during the foundation building stage.
Even if she has the Five Elements Sword Body, it is basically impossible with Lin Mu's personal guidance.
But there is still hope after reaching the realm of master swordsmanship and touching the threshold of sword intent.
After seven consecutive rounds of sword skills, he is not far away from the completion of his sword skills.
The honor of nine and five, nine is the ultimate.
Being able to perform nine consecutive rounds of sword skills means reaching the ultimate level of sword skills.
The gap between seven consecutive shots and nine consecutive shots is already very small.
With the understanding of sword skills, Lin Mu was still able to continue to put pressure on Xiao Qingmei, allowing her to keep improving.
As for the spiritual consciousness, Xiao Qingmei has reached a bottleneck. It is difficult to rely on her own strength to break through the bottleneck of the realm and advance her spiritual consciousness to the Golden Core Stage.
This requires external things to promote.
There are not many external objects that can enhance spiritual consciousness. The most effective and fastest one is naturally the essence of spiritual consciousness.
But this Lin Mu cannot be used now.
Then there is only one other way.
Rare elixir!
Not only Xiao Qingmei but also Lin Mu needed the elixir to enhance the realm of spiritual consciousness.
Lin Mu also hoped that he could condense the golden elixir after his spiritual consciousness reached the Nascent Soul stage.
However, it is really difficult to let the cultivation of spiritual consciousness surpass the two realms of self-cultivation.
Lin Mu had previously owned the misty fairyland, but was unable to achieve this step.
A great realm beyond oneself, a genius cultivator can still do it if he has the opportunity.
Beyond the two major realms, this is not a bottleneck, but a shackle!
The shackles are basically natural chasms, which are basically impossible to break through.
Just like becoming an immortal, there is a theoretical possibility and a glimmer of hope, but Lin Mu has never seen anyone who can truly become an immortal.
He has never seen any Mahayana practitioners.
The shackles are like this. There is a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, but it is basically impossible to break through.
But even if there was only a glimmer of hope, Lin Mu still wanted to give it a try!
He immediately called the green fox demon to come.
