A lot of spiritual energy fog suddenly appeared in the grey area. The fog became thicker and thicker. When it was about to cover the whole city, the spiritual fog suddenly shook and dissipated.
"Sigh!" Another failure. "
His body shook violently a few times before he managed to stabilize the pain caused by the failure of his breakthrough. Only then did Mu Xuan manage to adapt to the pain.
The scene just now occurred in Mu Xuan's Dantian. He was about to breakthrough to the Invigorated Meridian Realm, but he was still lacking a little bit. Even though he had already felt his body's limits, it still wasn't enough.
This was not the first time he failed. Although he would improve, he would not be able to form any Qi cloud in his dantian. Each time he failed.
By now, Mu Xuan had been cultivating in the spirit stone mine for five days.
On the third day, Mu Xuan felt the limits of the Spiritual Movement Stage. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't progress any further.
Five days ago, Liu Rong went out with Mu Nian, saying that she wanted to attract the demon race's attention. Otherwise, they would not be able to protect the Spirit Mine, so they could go ahead and help Mu Xuan find a suitable path so that Mu Xuan could pick up the reward safely.
Although Mu Xuan didn't understand this, he didn't ask about it. Instead, he followed Mu Hong to the location where the spirit stone quarry was discovered. That place, along with the people from the Immortal Ancient Town, was where they were mining for spirit stones.
However, Mu Xuan and Wu Ling's task was different. They didn't participate in the mining, but instead borrowed the power from the densest cave. Although it was only five days, Wu Ling and the other three were already on the verge of a breakthrough.
However, he still hadn't been able to find a way to break through, even though he often tried.
Originally, he wanted to make some preparations and mine again. However, he didn't expect that Li Pan would have saved so many steps by setting up his cave mansion. As long as he laid out a bit of space, he would be able to safely mine for a period of time.
Without any hesitation, Mu Hong and Mu Han brought over ten people from the Immortal Ancient Town and began to move.
If it wasn't for the fact that he could teach Mu Xuan and the others how to cultivate, it would have been much easier. However, in order to be in a hurry, he had to put aside the cultivation of Mu Xuan and the others.
After half an incense's time, Mu Xuan had more or less recovered. He went to check on Wu Ling and the other three, then rushed to the entrance of the cave and waited for Liu Rong.
Every day, after Mu Xuan finished cultivating, he would wait for Liu Rong at the entrance of the cave because he cared a lot about his rewards. After all, this reward was given to him by his master, who he hadn't seen many times.
For some reason, Mu Xuan felt an indescribable feeling towards his master who had helped him break his curse. He knew that his master hadn't lied to him and had treated him sincerely, but he had always felt that the obligations his master had given him were not simple.
After all, the abilities displayed by his master were definitely not simple. How could he not care about the Nirvana Realm?
If it wasn't enough, he needed to become stronger as soon as possible before he could have the qualification to know.
It was because of this that he did not care about the consumption of spirit stones during his five days of cultivation.
Of course, Wu Ling and the other three were not to be underestimated.
When Wu Ling's group of four arrived at the mines, they looked at the Spirit Stones and shouted in shock. They gave off the feeling of countryside bumpkins, which made Mu Xuan feel funny.
However, he didn't realize that he was indifferent about everything. This spirit stone quarry of the unknown level, the divine essence and even the immortal cave of the origin controlling realm, Mu Xuan was very indifferent. It gave the impression that he didn't care at all.
Mu Xuan had always been indifferent to others, and even Mu Hong and the others who had experienced many storms were shocked.
In the end, he could only blame it on the fact that Mu Xuan had suffered more than others since he was young. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so calm.
What they didn't know was that Mu Xuan cared about everything more than anyone else. In order to not put more pressure on everyone, he was indifferent about everything.
Originally, he cared a lot about these things. If he were to show his care, it would make others feel even worse. If he lost it, he would feel sad and disappointed. What was the point of this!
Thus, he put most of the things in his heart and did not reveal them.
However, he really didn't care about some of them.
For example, when he heard Liu Rong say that the three locations of the crater were extremely dangerous, he'd asked to give up, because he knew that if he lost his life because of that, it wouldn't be worth it.
Even if he didn't get it, it didn't matter. Obtaining it was a blessing, but forcing it would cost too much, and wasn't worth it. It was different from the spirit stone mines he had discovered.
Mu Xuan, who was deep in thought at the entrance of the cave, suddenly felt the disturbance and immediately became alert. After all, Mu Hong had said that there would always be a Rank 3 Demonic Beast in the rubble mound. Just like when he was unconscious, the Rank 3 Demonic Beast had already been killed by his mother when she saved Gao Wan'er's father and mother.
However, he still encountered a third stage Hunting Pig here.
When he realized that they were two figures, he felt relieved. He also put down his hand that he had been preparing to attack.
It was because the people who had come were not enemies, nor was it the monsters that he imagined. They were Liu Rong and Mu Nian who had left for five days.
Seeing that his mother and Uncle Nian had returned safely, Mu Xuan was happy as well.
Looking at her son with a satisfied expression, Liu Rong smiled and said, "Xuan'er is really vigilant!"
Mu Nian laughed loudly. "How can a child of our Mu Family not be good? What's more, you guys fostered it! "He was one of the talents of Longling Plum Family, a Duke of the Great Song …"
Without waiting for Mu Nian to finish, Liu Rong coughed.
Mu Nian immediately shut his mouth, but Mu Xuan could hear the charm in his words. It was as if his mother was born to someone stronger than his father!
Furthermore, his father was one of the top geniuses of the Mei Family, yet he was willing to give up everything for his own sake. This debt of gratitude was much greater than what he had ever known!
This made Mu Xuan feel even more burdened.
Mu Xuan didn't continue asking curiously. He just looked at Liu Rong expectantly, waiting for the results of her investigation. After all, he didn't want to give up on those three locations easily. It wasn't just for himself, but for the Mu Family.
With two Divine Origin Realm experts' remnants, the Mu Family's resources would be much richer. It would also allow the Mu Family to have the ability to quickly protect themselves.
Mu Nian, who had wanted to take the opportunity of Mu Xuan to ask, was greatly disappointed.
He curled his lips and said, "You guys chat. I'll go take a look first. I need to confirm what grade of spirit stone mine it is. Do you need any more people from the clan to come over? After all, we need to quickly settle down!"
"En!"
This time, when they went to explore the path, they also found something unusual. Liu Rong also felt a sense of urgency, so she agreed with Mu Nian that they should quickly mine a batch of spirit stones.
Without stopping, Mu Nian walked into the cave. With his late stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he didn't need anyone to lead the way and could clearly feel where the spiritual energy was concentrated.
Liu Rong was so excited that her hands were shaking as she pulled Mu Xuan into the cave.
Xuan'er!" You really are a treasure trove! Although you have suffered for many years, after being unconscious for two years, your curse has been dispelled. You have also brought a batch of treasures from Ye City, a spirit stone mine, the complete corpse of a rank 6 beast, and the three parts of the crater. You have also brought us many benefits.
Mu Xuan was getting impatient. After all he had said, there was nothing he wanted to hear. But it was worthy of his mother's happiness. So he said humbly, "This is not my credit alone!" "Li Pan was left behind by a senior from the Mei Family, and his father contributed to the work of the Spirit Mine."
Looking at Liu Rong, she said coquettishly, "Mother, don't worry about me, what about those three places? Can we go? Or have you already got it back? "
Shaking his head.
Seeing his mother treat him like this, Mu Xuan turned his head, wanting to leave in a huff.
Liu Rong pulled Mu Xuan back and said, "Look at you, I'm not too excited. I'm just joking with you!" The only places that you can go to are the three places where you can first break through to the Enlightenment Realm and train in a few martial skills! "
"In other words, you've already explored?"
Mu Xuan was eager to give it a try. After all, it was his reward and he wanted to train by himself. He believed that after what happened to Li Huo'er, it wouldn't be so easy to lose out.
Even if he suffered a loss, he wasn't afraid of it. The phrase "if you don't fight for it, the enemy will take your life" was still deeply engraved in his heart. Thus, he believed that as long as he put forth all of his strength, there was nothing that he couldn't accomplish.
Furthermore, he was very curious to know how much his master had told him at the time, and how much he would be able to get would all depend on his own good fortune.
If it wasn't his, then he could get the spirit stone mine and other things. If it was his, then what could he get?
"I need to tell you a piece of good news, a piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Liu Rong still didn't say it directly, which made Mu Xuan angry. If it wasn't for the fact that he was facing his own mother, Mu Xuan really didn't know whether she had started to beat people up.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Xuan said with a smile, "Then I'll listen to what mother has to say first!"
It was just that the laughter was forced.
Liu Rong nodded without a trace. The reason she did that was to see how her son was like. It seemed like she was pretty good now, since she was still young.
"I've already scouted out the three locations. This path is much safer and when I was scouting out the path, I discovered two areas where people of the Divine Origin Realm died. Six places where people of the Spirit Transformation Realm died, and I obtained quite a few things."
Mu Xuan almost jumped when he heard this.
You can get so much just by scouting? The reward from Master really wasn't for nothing. It seemed that he had really been meticulously selected. He must have done it on purpose.
"But! "Of the three places you mentioned, I didn't find anything. I'm afraid if you go, you won't get anything!"
Mu Xuan was so excited that he was like an eggplant.
If even a late stage mother could not detect him, then what could she possibly find? Furthermore, his mother had said that it was very dangerous.
However, thinking back to what his Master had said, he felt some anticipation. What if this was just a chance that belonged to him?
It was his, no one could take it away from him. If it wasn't his, he wouldn't force himself to take it.
Mu Xuan had been blessed by the heavens for saying such words, so he quickly gave up and decided to take a look for himself.
Seeing Mu Xuan's determination, Liu Rong didn't try to persuade him anymore. She knew that everyone had their own path, so she didn't need others to interfere. As long as she did what she could, it would be fine.
He took out a map and handed it to Mu Xuan. "This is the map I prepared for you. Take a look first, but I also want to tell you that before you go, you must raise your cultivation to the Enlightenment Realm. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
Mu Xuan knew some things. Even though he had only taken a glance, he could tell the dangers of the three places. Even though he had his mother's map, he needed to have the power to protect himself.
After Mu Xuan finished reading, he asked about the parts on the map that he didn't understand before entering the cave with Liu Rong.
After they entered, what they didn't notice was an old man floating above the rubble, smiling with interest before disappearing.
