[Lu Ling Jue+1431]!
[Proficiency in Lu Ling Jue; 1328/1600]!
The reason why Xu Mu didn’t continue to accumulate Luck Value to rush the Lu Ling Jue to the Proficiency level all at once was first out of fear of missing the Flying Boat, and second because it was unnecessary.
A normal cultivator, once they train the Lu Ling Jue to the Proficient level, would already possess the ability to refine spirits.
With Xu Mu’s current level of Lu Ling Jue approaching Proficiency, there would basically be no accidents.
Unless his fundamentals were too weak!
Clearly, Xu Mu’s fundamentals were not weak at all. Few within the same realm could compare with him. Compared to the typical Qi Cultivation ninth level, he was only stronger, not weaker.
The most critical aspect of refining spirits is the spirit!
Xu Mu’s spirit, reinforced by the double-enhancement of the Fire-Controlling Skill and Thunderbolt Sword Skill, was far stronger than those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
Under these circumstances, if he still fails to refine the spirit, then there’s no point in having this martial method.
Xu Mu took out the crystal sealing the spirit of the crimson crow and poured spiritual power into it, fiercely smacking it with force.
Crack!
The crystal instantly filled with cracks and shattered with a pop.
Caw Caw!
The originally tiny crimson crow, upon the removal of the seal, swelled up suddenly, standing taller than a person, like a giant roc bird.
As it spread its wings, endless fire spiritual power converged, causing the temperature in the entire room to soar suddenly.
In its eyes, there was only fire!
Caw!
The crimson crow let out a piercing shriek, accompanied by surging flames, soaring towards the sky, but was blocked by the formation. Then, filled with hatred, it dove towards Xu Mu.
Anyone who had their bodies destroyed and their souls sealed in a crystal would have difficulty not harbouring any hatred.
In the eyes of the Crimson Crow, all humans deserved to die!
Facing this surging wave of fire, other cultivators in the late stage of Qi Cultivation would likely be flustered, let alone refine spirits.
But Xu Mu remains oblivious!
His body radiated a glazed glow, and a fire lotus emerged from his forehead, easily warding off the fire’s attack.
Before the Crimson Crow could react.
He performed a spell with his hands, chanting incantations. Countless runes appeared between his fingers, enveloping the Crimson Crow and quickly seeping into it.
The Crimson Crow struggled desperately, letting out mournful cries from its beak.
But it was to no avail!
As the runes infiltrated, the Crimson Crow gradually ceased struggling. Its eyes began to gaze blankly.
Xu Mu changes his spell swiftly and starts to operate his martial method. He opens his mouth wide and swallows the spirit of the Crimson Crow in one gulp.
He closes his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the sea of his heart!
Within a vast space as mysterious as a starry sky, the Crimson Crow abruptly appeared. Its originally vacant eyes suddenly regained consciousness.
Caw!
It let out a cry, its whole body erupting in fierce flames, as if it wanted to ignite the entire space.
Little one! Settle down!
A cluster of illusory white fog appears beside the Crimson Crow, taking on the likeness of Xu Mu.
Xu Mu raised his hand, placing it on the head of the Crimson Crow.
Caw!
A meeting of bitter enemies, the Crimson Crow let off a piercing cry as it rushed at Xu Mu once more.
This time Xu Mu offered no resistance, but the crow found only an empty space.
Xu Mu’s body was like an illusion, fading once again into a white mist.
Before the crow could launch another attack, Xu Mu’s mist-like form quickly enveloped it, completely swallowing and covering it.
Caw~!
With a long cry, the crimson crow ceased its struggle. Its eyes now shone with an intelligent light.
What a strange feeling! It’s like I have another body!
The Crimson Crow spoke in a human voice, which sounded very peculiar.
Transforming, the Crimson Crow slowly twisted, morphing into the figure of Xu Mu.
But this time it was not white, but entirely made up of fire and was a vivid red, including its eyes and brows.
After carefully examining the Crimson Crow’s spirit, Xu Mu then retracted his own spiritual power again, leaving the crow to revert to its original form. However, in its eyes, it did not maintain its original fierceness but had become much simpler, as though it had just been born into this world, full of curiosity about everything. It held a sense of innocence.
The Crimson Crow’s original consciousness had been erased. Now, the crow was equivalent to a clone of Xu Mu, with only a touch of Xu Mu’s spiritual imprint left deep within its soul.
It’s essentially a newborn, a beast soul that can perfectly integrate Yu Mu’s spirit.
The original Xu Mu had no way to easily leave the sea of consciousness. But now, with the Crimson Crow’s beast soul, he can not only easily leave, but even leave his body to exist in the outside world for long periods, just like Luo Lie at the end.
The only downside is that while separating from the body, the body itself becomes a soulless shell, which can be easily destroyed by anyone.
Therefore, unless it is a special situation or it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to leave the body or even the space of consciousness, unnecessarily.
After figuring out the use of the Crimson Crow, Xu Mu’s consciousness returned to his body, while the Crimson Crow simultaneously disappeared from the space of consciousness.
Regaining control of his body, Xu Mu continued to operate his martial method. The Crimson Crow turned into a cluster of red energy, merged with the spiritual power, and began to help him drive the circulation of spiritual power.
After an unknown length of time, the speed of the spiritual power circulation suddenly accelerated. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was attracted by an invisible force and began to pour into his body crazily.
Boom!
Xu Mu’s whole body trembled with spiritual power, its route of circulation birthed a larger network.
Both the quantity and the quality of the spiritual power had increased significantly.
He suppressed his excitement and continued to fully focus on the operation of the spiritual power until the restless spiritual power had completely settled down.
He opened his eyes.
Cultivation at the eighth level! A truly unexpected delight!” Xu Mu smiled.
Not only that, the Lu Ling Jue had also risen along with the tide, breaking through to the Proficient level and saving nearly two hundred points of Luck Value.
Awesome!
[A compatible martial method has been found, do you wish to merge it?]
Surprises come one after another!
