Pursuing Wind City
The underground training room!
Xu Mu swallowed down a pill, which looked like a red lotus seed. From his stomach, a faint warmth spread, swiftly extending throughout his body and limbs.
The rich spiritual energy within the training room, like a funnel, converged into Xu Mu, flowing into his meridians and condensing into pure spiritual power.
Once the spiritual power accumulated to its peak, its circulating speed abruptly quickened.
Chirp chirp!
A crow that had completed its transformation into a blue long-tailed bird flew out from the sea of Xu Mu’s consciousness, becoming one with the spiritual power, propelling the advancement of his cultivation base.
Boom!
An invisible surge of spiritual pressure descended, and the internal spiritual power promptly transformed, becoming even more pure and profound, exceeding a threefold enhancement from before.
I didn’t expect to breakthrough on the first attempt!
After consolidating his cultivation base, Xu Mu opened his eyes, revealing a delighted expression.
Upon checking the system, his cultivation base had indeed reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment Stage, and there was a slight increase in his lifespan, reaching 386 years.
With his cultivation base reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, the power of his various skills naturally rose proportionally. If he were to confront that group of Foundation Establishment cultivators from Liyang Sect again, it should be even easier to handle them.
Chirp chirp!
The blue bird flew out from Xu Mu’s body, landing on his shoulder and gently rubbing against his cheek as if it was celebrating his advancement.
Xu Mu smiled and touched its head, putting it back into his body, then deactivated the training room’s formation and walked out.
For the smooth advancement, he had specifically rented the training room instead of doing this at home.
Long Ye, who was sitting at the counter, raised his eyes. Upon seeing Xu Mu, he casually put down the book in his hand, stood up, and revealed a refined smile.
It was him who had introduced Xu Mu to the Four Seas Immortal Palace, so they were naturally familiar with each other.
Brother Mu, congratulations on your cultivation advancement,” Long Ye greeted habitually, not knowing his exact strength.
You’re too kind, Brother Long,” Xu Mu responded with a bow and a smile.
Once Xu Mu settled the spirit stone bill, Long Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, “Brother Mu, a few of my friends recently accepted a mission to garrison a Spirit Stone mine. Would you like to join them? I remember that you haven’t completed your prescribed Palace missions for this year.”
Since Xu Mu was brought in by him, he naturally wanted to look out for him.
Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Long. As for the mission, I’ll use spirit stones to offset that requirement!”
Alright then!” Long Ye replied with a wry smile.
Having spiritual stones was certainly domineering and he had nothing more to say on the matter.
Brother Long, may I ask a question?”
Brother Mu, please ask!
I was wondering if there is a way to quickly increase my authority level in the
Palace?”
The main reason Xu Mu wanted to increase his authority was to purchase alchemy raw materials directly inside the Four Seas Immortal Palace.
Compared to the market, the medicinal materials within the Four Seas Immortal Palace were not only more discounted, but also more plentiful – meaning he didn’t need to worry about availability.
The standard method is to complete more missions. Once you accumulate enough contribution value, you can complete the progression missions to level up.”
Can spirit stones be fully substituted for this?
Full substitution with spirit stones, Brother Mu, you really are…
Boastful!
Long Ye exclaimed internally.
They were all anxious to undertake missions in order to accumulate spirit stones, whereas Xu Mu straightforwardly used spirit stones to purchase contribution value.
Contribution values can be exchanged with spirit stones, but advancement missions must be completed personally. However…”
Long Ye hesitated and then said: “There indeed is a shortcut!
Could Brother Long please enlighten me?” Xu Mu eagerly asked.
If you can become an apprentice to an Inner Sect Golden Core Elder, you can directly promote your authority level to four stars.”
Golden Core Inner Sect Elder?
Xu Mu frowned.
The cultivators who could become Inner Sect Elders, either had made significant contributions to the Four Seas Immortal Palace in the past, or were cultivated since childhood by the Four Seas Immortal Palace, remaining utterly loyal to the Palace.
To ask such people to take in a loose cultivator with an uncertain background was not going to be easy.
Brother Long, do you have any connections?”
Xu Mu handed over a medium-grade spirit stone.
In this world, there was nothing that could not be solved with spirit stones. If there was, that meant you simply did not have enough spirit stones.
Brother Mu, I really am powerless!
Long Ye pushed the spirit stone back with a grim smile.
I, like you, come from the background of a loose cultivator. I have no way of courting these Inner Sect Elders!”
There are no other alternatives?
Xu Mu handed the spirit stone over again.
I truly can’t help, but…
Long Ye hesitated once more.
But I can help you find a list of the Inner Sect Elders. It contains their basic information and preferences, so you might be able to devise a plan!”
