The burning sensation became more and more intense. Lin Muyu clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound. In fact, he hadn't made a single sound since he started cultivating. How could he not be able to endure this bit of pain!
… …
Under the high temperature, even the outer layer of his clothes was slowly disintegrating and about to burn. Lin Muyu felt as if every cell in his body was about to evaporate. This kind of pain was absolutely unbearable for ordinary people.
On the side, Tang Xiaoxi covered her mouth as she couldn't bear to watch. She had seen Qu Chu use the fire cauldron to deal with others before, but that person was a bandit and was killed by the fire cauldron. Would Lin Muyu also end up like that?
Lin Muyu knelt on one knee and supported himself with his arms. He didn't fall under the heat of the fire cauldron, but his mind was almost completely blank. The high temperature had almost taken away his will and thoughts. At this moment, with a "bang", a door opened in his mind and a tender voice came, "Ahh, it's burning me, it's burning me …"
When he opened his eyes, he saw a little elf flying around in his mind. It even flew out of his mind and danced behind Lin Muyu, shouting, "Big brother, what are you doing! Hurry and tell that old man to stop, he wants to burn you and me together! "
This elf was about 20 centimeters tall and wore green elven clothes. She also had long legs and a full chest. Her face was very delicate and looked very familiar. Lin Muyu looked again and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Wasn't this the female elf official Lulu? How did the Lulu in the game come to this world?
"Lulu!"
Lin Muyu found that he could use his mind to communicate with this female elf official. Moreover, Qu Chu and Tang Xiaoxi ignored Lulu. They shouldn't be able to see her. Could it be that Lulu only existed in his mind? However, he was about to be burned to death. He hurriedly said, "Lulu, Qu wants to force out my martial spirit. Where is my martial spirit? Just take something out to make up for it! "
"Ah? Why am I here?! I … Didn't I go offline in the game? Big brother, where are you? This … this place looks like the Conquering Continent … "
LuLu flapped her wings and endured the scorching heat. She frowned as if she was blaming him. "Big Brother, you've either sold or deleted everything. What else can you take out? Wu, there seems to be something in your refining cauldron … Wu, it's a trash gourd. It's the waste left behind from refining the Seven Core Jade. Is that okay? "
"I'll take it!" Lin Muyu was about to be burned to death. How could he care so much?
In the next moment, a cool energy surged out of his body. Lin Muyu shouted loudly and forced this "martial spirit" out of his body. A small green gourd slowly rotated in front of his chest. It was suffused with a faint green light. It looked pretty, but this kind of martial spirit didn't seem very powerful.
At this time, Lin Muyu finally understood what a martial spirit was in this world. It was actually equivalent to a martial artist's innate magical weapon. It was used to attack and defend.
… …
"Oh, it appeared!" Tang Xiaoxi smiled.
Qu Chu nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "So it's a green gourd martial spirit. No wonder this brat has good attainments in alchemy."
The fire cauldron dispersed. The grass around Lin Muyu had already been burned. The female elf official, Lulu, had once again fallen into a deep sleep. No one knew when she would wake up again. He extended his hand to hold his martial spirit. The green gourd slowly rotated in his palm. There was a spiritual contract between them. It was as if he could sense any trace of the martial spirit's aura.
Qu Chu said, "Although it's a tenth grade martial spirit, it should be of some use if it's cultivated properly. At least it's enough to deal with Hua Wan."
"Is a tenth grade martial spirit powerful?" Lin Muyu asked carefully.
Tang Xiaoxi covered her mouth and snickered. Qu Chu also laughed, "Martial spirits are divided into ten grades. My fire cauldron is ranked fourth, Princess Xi's fire fox is ranked second, and your green gourd is ranked tenth. What do you think?"
"In other words, this green gourd is the weakest?" Lin Muyu said.
"Yes!"
"Ah!" Lin Muyu screamed in her heart. This gourd was a waste from her refining. If she hadn't sold the Seven Star Lamp, Profound Spirit Staff, Nine Heavens Demon Lotus and other sacred weapons, any one of them would probably be considered a first or second grade martial spirit in this world. She regretted it so much that her intestines were about to turn green.
Tang Xiaoxi was a kind girl. She probably felt that Lin Muyu was very sad at this moment. She comforted her, "Mu, don't be sad. A tenth grade martial spirit has a chance to evolve into a ninth grade, or even an eighth or seventh grade martial spirit. Don't be depressed, there will be a chance."
"Then is there a chance to evolve into a first grade martial spirit?"
Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh, "You're dreaming …"
It seemed like she was not good at comforting people. Lin Muyu did not mind as he had thought of another way. He was a master in the art of craftsmanship. As long as he had enough materials, he would be able to refine this green gourd into a top-notch magical weapon. It would definitely not be weaker than a Grade 1 Martial Spirit. He was confident that he could do it.
…
Qu Chu said, "A cultivator's life is actually spent on cultivating his martial spirit. The stronger the martial spirit, the stronger the power of his attack and defense. This is because the martial spirit will provide the source of power for any of your combat skills. Do you understand?"
"En, I understand. Thank you, Qu." The haze in Lin Muyu's heart was swept away.
Qu Chu nodded his head in satisfaction and said with a smile, "The green gourd is a plant type martial spirit. It specializes in healing, binding, and defense. This is also your main direction of development. In the future, you may be a support type warrior. Don't rush to the front in battle. Just understand this."
"Okay!"
"Let's continue. Your power is still in the Chaotic Period. Find a spirit beast that is over 200 years old and kill it before noon. Use your green gourd to absorb the beast's spirit and see how much it can improve your personal power."
"Yes." Lin Muyu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Qu."
Qu Chu stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't thank me. It's not that easy. Any cultivator needs to go through hardships. Once you meet a suitable spirit beast, I will not take action. You need to kill it yourself. Otherwise, you are not worthy of absorbing the beast spirit. Do you understand?"
Lin Muyu's heart moved. She couldn't help but sigh. This old fellow did not seem to care about his own life and death. He was too inhumane. It was said that a two hundred year old spirit beast's strength was equivalent to a level 20 battle spirit. Whether or not one could kill it depended on one's luck.
… …
At this moment, it started to drizzle. After the three of them went down the mountain, they found their horses and galloped towards the depths of the forest. Lin Muyu was dressed in green and looked extremely handsome. Tang Xiaoxi was wearing a fiery red dress and an exquisite cloak. When the drizzle landed on her face, it was like spring rain falling on pear blossoms. There was an inexplicable sense of beauty.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but praise Princess Xi in her heart. Princess Xi's cultivation at such a young age was indeed impressive. If it was any other noble family's daughter, she would have asked to find a place to hide from the rain instead of continuing to travel in the rain.
Not long after, dark clouds covered the sky. The Seven Stars Forest was as dark as night. Flashes of lightning flashed across the sky like sharp knives stabbing into the ancient forest.
Lin Muyu comforted his mount so that it wouldn't be frightened by the lightning. Qu Chu also slowed down his galloping speed. He had to take good care of Tang Xiaoxi. After all, Princess Xi's cultivation was his top priority during this trip.
Looking at the longsword and longbow on Lin Muyu's back, Qu Chu couldn't help but laugh. "Brat, why are you carrying a bow?"
"This is my hidden weapon."
"Hidden weapon?" Qu Chu couldn't help but laugh. "What's the use of this hidden weapon?"
Lin Muyu said seriously, "Although my cultivation in martial arts is far from yours, I know that an inch longer is an inch stronger. If the enemy is tens of meters away from me, I will use my bow and arrows. If he gets close to me, I will use my sword. If I don't have a longbow, the time he gets close to me will be wasted. If I can kill the target from a few meters away, there's no need for him to get close to me, right?"
Qu Chu was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but nod his head in approval. "What you said is reasonable, but … this longbow is too conspicuous and too ostentatious. It can't be considered a real hidden weapon. If you really want a hidden weapon, I have a gift for you."
"Oh, a gift?" Lin Muyu couldn't help but be happy.
Qu Chu took out a cloth bag from the backpack on the horse's butt and tossed it over. Lin Muyu caught it and opened it to see that it was four very exquisite flying daggers. The curves of the daggers were very bright, and they were as clear as the moon. Even in the dark environment, one could see that the edges of the daggers were like snow.
"These are the weapons left behind by Feng Yicheng. Feng Yicheng is an expert in using flying knives. He can take a person's life from a hundred meters away. These four flying knives can be shot one by one, or they can be combined to form a rotating blade. But it takes a lot of effort to master this hidden weapon." Qu Chu said.
"En, thank you Qu!" Lin Muyu smiled.
Tang Xiaoxi, who was at the side, blinked her big watery eyes and smiled. "Feng Yicheng? Could it be the famous general who guarded the southern border for nearly twenty years, Feng Yicheng? "
"Yes, that's him. Unfortunately, General Feng died in the hands of the bandits." Qu Chu said with some regret. "What's rare is that Feng Yicheng wasn't born of noble blood. He was a genius and one of the twelve commanders of the empire. What a pity."
Tang Xiaoxi said, "Feng Yicheng died in battle more than ten years ago. It's rare that Qu still has his belongings here."
Qu Chu said, "He was an old friend of mine. These flying knives were given to me by someone before he died in battle."
Lin Muyu's mind trembled. He suddenly felt the weight of these four flying knives increase. He gratefully raised his head and looked at Qu Chu. "Thank you, Qu Chu …"
This time the gratitude came from the heart. However, Qu Chu smiled. "It's a good thing I'm not good at using hidden weapons. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance to obtain such a divine weapon."
That's right. These flying knives were extremely exquisite. Every one of them had a hollowed out air passage and a rotating design. This meant that every flying knife would return after being thrown out. If one wanted to use such a hidden weapon well, one must practice the skill of catching and retrieving it. This was also a big challenge. If one couldn't catch it or let it go, one's hand would be gone. After all, these flying knives were too sharp.
He put the flying knives into his bag and slowly practiced later!
