Spirit-Liquid
As the patriarch of the Mu family, Mu Linchen had too many things to do.
Especially during this period of time, the tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones that Mu Yun had obtained from the auction needed to be allocated and used in various businesses of the Mu family.
As the patriarch of the Mu family, he had been too busy.
Today, Mu Linchen finally had the chance to sit down and rest for a while. He meditated in his own courtyard and comprehended the realm.
Although economic strength was important for a family's prosperity, what was more important was the most powerful military force.
Without the protection of martial power, no matter how strong one's economic strength was, one would be nothing more than a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
And now, he was the pillar of support for the Mu Clan, at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Cave Realm. This was also the reason why the Diao Clan and the Wang Clan did not dare to openly offend each other.
The first layer of the Spirit Cave Realm was the opening of the He Gu Point in both hands. It was located between the thumb and forefinger, giving one immense strength. This kind of increase in strength completely surpassed the limits of the physical body. It was mainly based on the power of true essence.
The second layer of the Spirit Point opened the Neiguan Meridian. The Neiguan Meridian was located at the elbow and directly connected to the arms. Using the strength of the hands, the Neiguan Meridian increased not only strength but also toughness.
The third layer of the Spirit Cave Realm was the opening of the Zusanli Acupoint. Once the Zusanli Acupoint below the knee was successfully opened, the four limbs would be connected. The body would be as light as a swallow and the speed would be as fast as lightning.
As for the fourth layer of the Spirit Cave Realm, it was the opening of the Yang Lingquan acupoint. Unlike the Zusanli acupoint, which was located on the outside of the calf, the Yang Lingquan acupoint was located on the inside of the calf.
The third and fourth grades could be said to be linked together. Once they were successfully opened at the same time, the martial artist's strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
The fifth level of the Spiritual Cave Stage was an extremely important stage.
The fifth layer required the opening of two acupoints.
Guanyuan acupoint and Qihai acupoint.
These two major meridians were the places where a martial artist's true essence would erupt. Once they were successfully opened, the martial artist would have a qualitative change in the ten realms of the Spirit Point.
This breakthrough was in no way inferior to the breakthrough from the Physical Body Realm to the Spiritual Cave Realm. To a martial artist, this was of extraordinary significance.
At this moment, Mu Linchen was at the fifth layer. He had broken through the Guanyuan Acupoint. However, he was stuck at the Qihai Acupoint and was unable to move forward.
If there were no accidents, it would be very difficult for him to break through to the fifth level in this lifetime.
Even so, he still couldn't give up.
Even if there was only a sliver of a chance, he had to give it a try. After all, whether he was strong or not was related to the Mu Family's standing.
Dong dong dong …
Mu Linchen had just reached the optimal state of cultivation when he was disturbed by a series of knocks on the door. He frowned unhappily.
"Who?"
"Dad, of course it's me!"
It had to be said that in the beginning, Mu Linchen was still not used to calling Mu Yun 'Father'.
However, when he thought about how the Mu Yun in his heart had already become one with him, and how Mu Linchen treated Mu Yun, his feelings were indeed greater than that of a foster father and foster son.
Gradually, Mu Yun no longer held any grudges.
With a bitter smile, Mu Linchen said helplessly, "Come in!"
"Sigh!"
With a response, Mu Yun had already broken through the door and entered.
"I hope I'm not disturbing you, Godfather."
"What do you think?"
"Hehe, then I'll apologize to you first!" Mu Yun chuckled. There was no sign of apology on his face as he said, "Godfather, I want to hear from you about the strongest cultivators of the Beiyun City's Four Great Families!"
"Hmm? Kid, why are you interested in this? "
Mu Linchen was slightly taken aback and said, "Since you'll have to come into contact with them sooner or later, it's best to know now. I'll tell you."
"Beiyun City's Four Great Families. Our Mu Family is a branch of the Mu Family in the capital. In fact, the Mu Family in Beiyun City and the Mu Family in Southcloud City are basically separated. The clan will not even consider the life and death of the Mu Family in Beiyun City."
"As for the Mu Family, I'm at the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm and have only opened the Guanyuan Acupoint. I might only be at this realm for the rest of my life."
At this point, Mu Linchen couldn't hide the gloominess on his face.
"In the Family Qin, the strongest is Patriarch Qin. He's at the sixth level of the Spirit Cave Realm and has already opened the Mingmen Acupoint and the Shenshu Acupoint. He's the strongest cultivator in Beiyun City."
"It's just that Patriarch Qin is old, and his martial strength is no longer the same as before. The current head of the Family Qin, Qin Jiming, is also your future father-in-law. He's at the fourth level of the Spirit Cave Realm."
"There's also the head of the Wang Family, Wang Dongyu, and the head of the Diao Family, Diao Zhenyun. Both of them are at the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm and are slightly stronger than Godfather. They've already opened the Sea of Breath Acupoint."
Mu Linchen sighed and said, "Now, Patriarch Qin is still around and can still support the Family Qin. The marriage alliance between our Mu Family and the Family Qin is stable, but if … then the Mu Family and the Family Qin will be attacked crazily by the Diao Family and the Wang Family."
This was true.
At the fifth level of the Spirit Cave Realm, one had to open the Guanyuan Acupoint and the Sea of Breath Acupoint. The opening of each acupoint was a leap in strength.
Mu Yun deeply understood that the current Mu Linchen was still lacking compared to Diao Zhenyun and Wang Dongyu.
However, a cultivator's talent determined how far a cultivator could reach in their lifetime.
A youth who could cultivate to the tenth level of the Physical Body Realm at the age of fourteen or fifteen might not be able to reach the tenth level of the Spirit Cave Realm in his lifetime because of his talent.
And the current Mu Linchen was stuck at the fifth level of the Guanyuan Acupoint because of his talent. He was unable to open the Sea of Breath Acupoint.
"Foster Father, do you trust me?"
"Of course!"
"Then absorb this drop of spirit liquid into your body and refine it!"
As she spoke, Mu Yun took out the porcelain bottle used to collect divine power and dripped a drop onto Mu Linchen's palm.
"This is …"
"This is a spirit liquid that I obtained by chance. It should be of some help to Foster Father's cultivation," Mu Yun hurriedly explained.
Divine power was probably unheard of in the Heavenly Fate Continent, so Mu Yun could only name it as spirit liquid.
If others knew about this divine power and spread it, he would definitely die without a burial place.
This thing was a rare existence in the thousands of great worlds back then. Although it was diluted thousands of times, its effect was something that Mu Yun had seen. It would definitely not disappoint him.
After all, there was still a huge gap between the Immortal King Realm and the Spirit Cave Realm.
Mu Linchen was slightly puzzled, but after seeing Mu Yun's determined and hopeful expression, he nodded.
Sitting on the ground, Mu Linchen held the drop of divine power in his palm and quietly absorbed it into his body.
Standing at the side, Mu Yun's breathing gradually quickened.
He wanted to do a test to see if this divine power was only effective on him, or if it could improve everyone's aptitude.
Seeing Mu Linchen absorb the drop of divine power into his body, Mu Yun also stood at the side, motionless.
Time passed bit by bit. Gradually, the sun rose and set in the west. Night slowly fell.
"Phew …"
Suddenly, a soft cry sounded in the small courtyard. Mu Linchen, who had his eyes closed, opened them.
"How is it, Foster Father?"
Mu Yun was looking forward to it.
"Yun 'er, tell me, where did you get this spirit liquid?" Mu Linchen asked seriously.
"Uh … why? It's not effective? "
"No, it's not!"
Mu Linchen stood up excitedly and laughed. "This drop of spirit liquid is simply a miraculous medicine. It's even stronger than third-grade and fourth-grade elixirs. Foster Father, you have already opened your Sea of Breath Meridian. Moreover, I can clearly feel that my aptitude seems to have undergone a complete change. It's even possible for me to reach the tenth tier of the Spirit Ascension realm in my lifetime."
Mu Linchen's body trembled. He pulled Mu Yun like a child.
"Uh, I got this by accident. I only have one bottle!" Mu Yun shook the porcelain bottle in his hand and said awkwardly.
"Only one bottle …"
Mu Linchen said cautiously, "Yun 'er, don't let others know. Otherwise, it will bring you a lot of trouble. This spirit liquid of yours is simply comparable to a fourth-grade elixir!"
Mu Yun already had a plan in his heart.
These drops of divine power were extracted from his own body. They had already been diluted, so the effect on Mu Linchen was not very strong.
"It seems that I can extract more next time!"
Mu Yun made up his mind and said silently in his heart.
"Foster Father, if that's the case, then you should find a few core disciples and some loyal guards!"
"You want to …"
"That's right!"
Mu Yun nodded and said, "The core disciples are the hope of our Mu Family's future growth, and the loyal guards are the defensive force that the family needs now."
"I understand, Yun 'er. You are more daring than me in this regard!" Mu Linchen laughed involuntarily and said, "You should also understand that this drop of spirit liquid is comparable to a fourth-grade elixir. You are willing to take it out so generously."
"There's nothing to be reluctant about. The family's interests are the most important," Mu Yun reminded, "Foster Father, remember to choose the most important ones, even if their aptitude is lower."
"Brat, I have been the patriarch of the Mu Family for ten years. I am still confident about this."
Mu Linchen laughed heartily. He was in a good mood and walked out of the courtyard.
Mu Yun was also a little surprised by the change in his mentality. Unknowingly, he seemed to have regarded the Mu Family as his own home.
In his previous life, he was an orphan. In this life, Mu Linchen was his foster father, and the Mu Family was also his home.
In a courtyard of the Mu Family, about thirty Mu Family disciples, ranging in age from seven to ten years old, stood one by one.
Behind these thirty over disciples of the Mu Family stood dozens of tall and straight Mu Family guards.
Some of these guards were members of the Mu Family, and some were hired by the Mu Family.
At this moment, dozens of people stood in the courtyard with different expressions on their faces.
They were all summoned back by the patriarch in a hurry and did not know what had happened.
Looking at the dozens of people, Mu Yun exhaled slightly and said, "Foster Father summoned you here because he believes in you. I, Mu Yun, naturally believe in you too. I will not say anything unnecessary. I summoned you here today to give you a chance to change yourselves.
"This chance will change your lives and improve your aptitude. It will allow you to improve yourselves in the next three, five, or even ten years. This opportunity only requires you to do your best to protect the Mu Family. I only want your promise and will not restrict you in any way!"
