Lin Mu recalled that since he stepped into the cultivation realm, he had met very few enemies or friends who were also cultivators, and he had never known what kind of position his current level belonged to, and this 'martial artist' conference happened to bring together the leaders of the younger generation among the cultivators from all walks of life, and it was worth breaking through by himself.

As soon as he thought that he could face so many strong people among his peers and become stronger in the battles again and again, Lin Mu was full of anticipation, and his face was filled with excitement, and his smile was even stronger.

Zhang Po and Changwei smirked at the wall when they saw the forest magic barrier on the side, worried that something was wrong with the forest, so Zhang Po stepped forward and patted Lin Mu's shoulder.

"Hey, are you alright?" asked Zhang Po with concern.

was slapped by Zhang Po like this, and Lin Mu came to his senses from the obscenity just now: "Ah, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, let's quickly pack our bags, go to Xiao's house and get the password and leave, so as not to cause any extraneous branches. Zhang Po pocketed the Chang family password that Chang Wei handed him, got up and prepared to leave.

But Lin Mu interrupted him: "No, I want to go to the 'Martial Arts Conference', I want to see those peers who are stronger than you, even if they lose at their hands, at least they will understand the gap with them in their hearts." ”

Zhang Po was stunned when he heard this, recalling the situation of participating in the 'Martial Arts Conference', he also had the same idea as Lin Mu at the beginning, although he was still young at that time, and his cultivation was not high, but that failure was undoubtedly a big blow to him, and it was like a nightmare over the years, lingering in Zhang Po's mind.

Thinking about it for only a few weeks, Lin Mu had already left himself behind, this time not only defeated Chang Wutian and his "Drill Armor Corpse", but also saved his own life, and he thought about his own acre and three points of land all day long, never had the idea of looking at how high the sky was outside, and delusionally wanted to be the world's number one swordsman, which was really ridiculous.

Immediately, Zhang Po gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Okay! I'll go with you, and I'll participate too." ”

Lin Mu excitedly encouraged, "That's right! Besides, we won't necessarily lose." Then he turned his head and asked Chang Wei: "Chang Wei, what about you? ”

Chang Wei said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I've always had this idea, I've always wanted to go to the 'Martial Arts Conference' to have a look, but because of my father's obstruction, I didn't have a chance." The invitation from both of them was exactly what I wanted, and I wanted to try my hand there. ”

Seeing that Chang Wei also readily agreed, Lin Mu was happy like a child: "Okay, then let's go and break through this 'Martial Arts Conference' together to see how strong their Xiao family's descendants are!"

At the same time, thousands of miles away on a volcano, a young man sat on the crater of the volcano and closed his eyes to practice, surrounded by hot magma, but the young man was completely unmoved.

I saw that this young man had red hair, red eyes and sword eyebrows, a ruddy and shiny complexion, a high nose bridge, and broad lips, even if he was in the dense volcanic mist, he could not hide his heroic spirit.

The young man sneezed, rubbed his nose and said angrily: "Who gossips about me again, look for death!"

Just in time for a drop of magma to drop on the young man's body, but miraculously melted into it, the young man immediately showed a look of enjoyment, closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

On Lin Mu's side, after the three of them unified their behavior, they decided to go to the place where the Xiao family was located to participate in this year's "Martial Arts Conference", but before leaving, Lin Mu suddenly asked Zhang Po and the others to protect the Dharma for him, and he had to retreat for five days.

"Retreat?" Zhang Po felt a little inappropriate after hearing Lin Mu's request, retreat is normal for a cultivator, but obviously you proposed to participate in the "Martial Arts Conference", from today it is only a week before the start of the "Martial Arts Conference", your retreat is five days, how can it be too late then.

But Lin Mu had his own thoughts: "First, my retreat this time is because I have vaguely touched the door of the second realm of the Jin family's exercises in these battles, and secondly, I have cut off my own retreat and only left myself two days to hurry, just like you said, the Xiao family's home site is thousands of miles away from here, and traveling thousands of miles a day is also a course that must be passed for cultivators, and it is also a great benefit for the improvement of the body." ”

When Zhang Po heard Lin Mu's idea, he felt that it did make sense, so he also agreed with Lin Mu's idea of retreat, thinking that he had experienced a near-death battle, and he should indeed need some time to settle down and summarize the gains and losses in this battle.

"That's it, there are more enclosed spaces in the abnormal family cave, Chang Wutian's old thief has left more than one way back for himself, we might as well find a secret room to retreat separately, and stay until five days later, we will go out together to participate in the Xiao family's "Martial Arts Conference". ”

"Just what I wanted. Lin Mu was pleased.

Chang Wei also nodded in agreement, and then prepared two secret rooms for Zhang Po and Lin Mu that also needed a mechanism but needed to be opened from the inside, and he also found a room that was almost sealed.

"See you in five days. Lin Mu hugged his fist at the two of them, and then burrowed into his stone room.

"Okay!" Zhang Po and Chang Wei responded in unison and walked into their respective rooms.

The three of them didn't do too much politeness, and after entering the stone room, they closed the door and began to cultivate.

After Lin Mu entered the room, he found a clean place to sit cross-legged, he was not in a hurry to break through the second realm of the Jin family's exercises, what he needed to do at the moment was to think back to the benefits he brought to himself in the battle after he went berserk, and in the process of healing Zhang Po's injuries, Lin Mu found that the qi of his wood attribute actually had a tendency to be substantiated, whether it was in the body or outside the body.

This discovery made Lin Mu very happy, and he remembered what Old Man Jin said to him, the second level of the Jin family's martial arts has not even been touched by the people of the Jin family, because this second realm is the realm of 'qigong'.

The so-called 'qigong' is to materialize the qi in the body and show it to the outside world in the form of an energy body, and the power should not be underestimated, but because the people of the Jin family are born without the function of refining qi and collecting qi, the people of the Jin family automatically skip the second realm when they practice their own exercises.

So far, there is no one who has cultivated the 'qigong' of the Jin family.

And the tendency of the qi essence of the wood attribute that Lin Mu discovered earlier was the basis for cultivating this second realm of 'qigong', so Lin Mu had the meaning of retreat.

Lin Mu thought that his qi could have such a change, it is estimated that his identity as a 'weather person' played a big role, for this knowledge, Lin Mu still knows very little, Zhang Po does not know much, and he is not around at present, so he can only rely on his own exploration.
