"It's five in the morning. Lin Muyu, get up and set off!"
In his dreams, Qu Chu forcefully knocked on the door. Lin Muyu suddenly woke up and looked out the window. The starry sky was still there. It was at most three or four o 'clock in the morning!
Although he didn't know why he left in such a hurry, Lin Muyu still obeyed and jumped out of bed. He quickly put on his clothes and went out. He craved great power and Qu Chu was someone who could bring him great power.
"Teacher, it's not even dark yet why are you leaving? I'm going to greet Grandpa and Sister Chu Yao before I leave. "
"Don't greet them, let's go!"
In the dark, Qu Chu was dressed in a white robe and said with an unquestionable tone: "A day's work is in the morning. How long do you want to sleep? You can come back after three days and sleep as much as you want. Moreover, I'm not your teacher, I'm only teaching you for three days. I, Qu Chu, will never accept a disciple in my life. You can just call me Qu, how about it? "
"En."
Lin Muyu followed him out of the courtyard. On the side, Tang Xiaoxi, the noble princess, also followed. She held a thin sword in her hand and led two horses. She handed one of the reins to Lin Muyu and said: "This horse is yours."
"Oh?"
"It's a good grassland horse. You've lucked out." Tang Xiaoxi giggled.
Lin Muyu turned around and looked at the horse. It was indeed not bad. Its body was sturdy, its hair was smooth, and its eyes were full of spirit. With one look, one could tell that it was a fine horse. He looked at Tang Xiaoxi's horse. Her mount was a small horse with fiery red hair. Its figure matched her petite figure.
Tang Xiaoxi seemed to see through his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh: "You think my Thousand Mile Flame is weak? Do you want to give it a try? I guarantee that you won't be able to see my back in the time it takes to burn a stick of incense! "
Lin Muyu was speechless, but she did not challenge the princess. So this fiery red pony was called Qian Li Huo. The name was very appropriate, but whether it could travel a thousand miles in a day was unknown.
At the very front, Qu Chu was leading a sturdy black horse. The hooves of the horse were hammered with horseshoes, and there was a purple flower emblem on the horse's butt. That was a war horse!
"We'll leave Cathaya City before dawn. I heard that there's a bun shop in the south of the city. We'll leave after we're done eating!" Qu Chu said.
"Yes." Lin Muyu listened carefully.
Tang Xiaoxi, on the other hand, said with a smile, "Qu, is there anything better than the Imperial Capital's beef buns?"
Qu Chu couldn't help but laugh. "Princess, you must be joking. The Imperial Capital's Flower Slices Beef is the best in the world. Even His Majesty has personally tasted it. No one can beat it."
"That's right!" Tang Xiaoxi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "The moment we talk about good food in the capital, I suddenly miss Xiao Yin."
Qu Chu said, "After we cultivate in the Seven Stars Forest for three days and help Princess Xi rise to Rank 30, we can naturally return to the capital to see His Highness."
"Mn!"
… …
By the time they left the city, the sky was still dark. It was only the eastern sky that was beginning to brighten. Qu Chu kept his word and found a bun shop in the forest outside the city. This place was close to the Seven Stars Forest, and wild beasts would occasionally appear. Therefore, this bun shop was set up here to provide food and lodging for the traveling merchants and passers-by. The sky was still dark, but the staff were already busy steaming buns.
"Waiter, one bun per person and three days' worth of food for the three of us," Qu Chu said straightforwardly.
The staff was quite efficient. Very soon, the buns were served, and they were filled with meat. The last time they had meat was three days ago, so Lin Muyu naturally ate heartily. She ate an entire steamer of buns like a tornado, and Tang Xiaoxi was dumbfounded. "Wow, Mu, you're really reborn!"
"Ah? What's reborn? " Lin Muyu was confused. She didn't know why this young princess would call her Mu. It was a very strange feeling. Moreover, Lin Muyu felt that Tang Xiaoxi was more of a friendly feeling, and not the arrogance of a noble girl. If Tang Xiaoxi was from a noble family, she would have already ordered Lin Muyu around like a servant, and wouldn't even be willing to talk to her.
Qu Chu smiled and said, "Legend has it that it was a strange beast in ancient times. It was gluttonous and very strong, but because it ate too much, it couldn't run anymore. Therefore, it was hunted down by the Radiant King, and its fur was made into a king's robe."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and stuck out her tongue, and continued to eat.
After eating, Qu Chu placed all the packed food and water into the luggage beside Lin Muyu's mount, and said, "Let's set off before the sun rises!"
"Qu, why are we in such a hurry?" Lin Muyu couldn't help but ask.
Qu Chu smiled. "Because, at sunrise today, it will be a very difficult time for you."
"Why?"
"An hour after sunrise, I want to awaken the Martial Soul that's sleeping in the depths of your heart!" Qu Chu's eyes flashed, and he said confidently, "If a cultivator doesn't even awaken their Martial Soul, then they're no different from trash. I awakened my Martial Soul at the age of 14, and Princess Xi awakened the Martial Soul passed down in her family at the age of 9."
"What's the Martial Soul passed down in your family?"
"That's right, I almost forgot that a rookie like you doesn't understand anything." Qu Chu took a deep breath and explained, "The strength of a Martial Soul is largely determined by one's bloodline. Xiao Xi was born in the Seven Seas Tang Sect, and she awakened her Fire Fox Martial Soul at the age of 9. Fire Fox is a second-grade Martial Soul, and only those with the bloodline of the Tang Sect can awaken it. Martial Souls that are passed down through bloodlines are rare, and other than the Fire Fox, the members of the Qin Family with the imperial bloodline of the Empire have a special Martial Soul called the God Binding Lock. It's a first-grade Martial Soul, and even a newly awakened God Binding Lock is enough to raise one's cultivation by 50%. This is something that ordinary people don't even dare to think about."
As he spoke, Qu Chu sighed, and looked at Lin Muyu with a trace of sympathy in his eyes. He said, "You and I are both commoners, and we don't have that kind of innate bloodline. We can only rely on our own sweat and tears to cultivate our Martial Souls."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded her head, thinking that the Qin Family's Martial Soul was so strong, and she seemed to have seen the God Binding Lock before. That's right, when the group of God Realm experts surrounded and attacked the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, Qin Yi's Martial Soul was the God Binding Lock. It was extremely strong, but it was still no match for the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor.
… …
The three mounted their horses and galloped forward, and before sunrise they had already entered the Seven Stars Forest. Qu Chu urged his horse to lead the way, and they came to the front of a mountain peak. He tied up the warhorse, and then led Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi up the mountain. When they arrived at the small mountain peak, they could already see the horizon of the forest in the distance, and the sun was about to rise.
"Lin Muyu!" Qu Chu said in a low voice.
"Here."
"Circulate the True Qi in your body, and gather all the True Qi you can control in front of your chest. Now, hurry!"
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath, and silently circulated the True Qi in his body, gathering it all in front of his chest. But just as the people in the Saint Hall had said, he was a Heaven's Handicap Body, and the True Qi couldn't smoothly circulate after passing through the meridians' hub. The pressure in front of his chest increased, and a suffocating and oppressive feeling lingered in front of his chest, as if it was about to crush his chest.
"Ugh …" He endured the pain, and sweat poured down his face like rain.
"Now, release your strength, and relax your entire body. Release your True Qi from your chest!" Qu Chu's voice was still very strict.
Lin Muyu shouted in a low voice, and the True Qi in his chest leaked out, causing his clothes to flutter and make buzzing sounds.
Tang Xiaoxi sat on a rock at the side, smiling as she watched Lin Muyu cultivate. She also released her own Martial Soul, and that small and exquisite Fire Fox scuttled around the young girl's arm, even letting out 'ji ji ji' sounds. It was like a living creature, and it made the young girl giggle and tremble.
… …
"It still doesn't work …" Qu Chu looked at the True Qi leaking out of Lin Muyu's chest, and said: "Martial Souls are innate, everyone has their own Martial Soul, but you … … why can't your Martial Soul come out?"
Saying this, he looked towards the east, and said: "You need to look straight in the direction of the sunrise, look at the sunlight, and don't blink, and don't close your eyes."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu looked towards the direction of the sunrise, and ten thousand rays of red light pierced through the clouds, and the sun was already slowly rising.
Qu Chu said: "The rising sun is divided into seven colors, and you need to use your eyes to distinguish the purple from the seven colors. When you see the purple, it means that you have already captured the essence of the sunlight — — Purple Qi. Qi is the foundation of cultivation, and is also the most fundamental strength of us martial artists. Refining the essence of the Purple Qi will allow you to quickly form your Martial Soul."
Lin Muyu stared unwaveringly at the sun, and after a few minutes, a miraculous scene occurred. The colors in the sunlight began to slowly separate, and he caught a hint of purple. He firmly held onto it, and his body began to frantically absorb the power of the Purple Qi like a dried up lake. At this moment, his body also began to emit a faint purple splendor.
"Yi?" Tang Xiaoxi opened her small mouth, and was extremely surprised. She didn't think that Lin Muyu would be able to find the location of the Purple Qi so quickly.
… …
Seeing this, Qu Chu revealed a slight expression of approval, and said: "Continue, condense the Purple Qi in your body into your chest, and try to force your Martial Soul again!"
"Yes!"
A mass of Purple Qi wandered wantonly in his body, and when Lin Muyu tried to force it out of his body, it suddenly became violent. His chest felt as if it was hit by a heavy blow, and his whole body trembled. His legs suddenly couldn't stand, and with a "plop" sound, he knelt on the ground, and his whole body trembled. His whole body was in unbearable pain, and a vigorous force was attacking the Purple Qi in his body!
"He … … what's wrong with him?" Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful face revealed a trace of worry and nervousness.
Qu Chu gritted his teeth, and suddenly covered his palm on Lin Muyu's back, but he felt a ridiculously strong force crazily devouring his True Qi. This force made him feel threatened, and it attacked his own strength, as if it was saying that Lin Muyu's body was his, and he was not allowed to step into it.
"Dream on!"
What kind of person was Qu Chu? Naturally, he wouldn't give up so easily. His palms exerted force, and with a loud roar, the power of the Saint realm spread out, and immediately suppressed the force in Lin Muyu's body.
He quickly took a step back, and shouted: "Fire Cauldron, come out!"
"Buzz!"
A huge Martial Soul surrounded by raging flames appeared, and immediately enveloped Lin Muyu.
Her body was enveloped by a scorching power that could almost kill, and Lin Muyu suddenly opened her eyes, and said: "Qu Chu, what are you doing? Are you going to kill me? "
Qu Chu indifferently said: "Don't misunderstand, you are my old friend Chu Feng's disciple, I can't kill you. This move is called 'Boiling Pig to Death', since your Martial Soul is unwilling to come out, then I will personally force it out! I think … … many experts use this method to refine their Martial Souls. "
