Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The start of the competition



Upon hearing this, Xu Mu took the disciple token out of his bag and handed it to Liu See.

Liu See received the disciple token, his complexion did not change, the outer and inner disciple tokens could not be seen from the outside.

Waiting until he used a special technique to inject spiritual energy into the token, Liu See froze.

"You're an inner disciple as well?"Looking at the red aura emanating from the token in his hand, Liu See looked at Xu Mu in surprise and asked.

"Not bad!"Xu Mu nodded.

Liu See's eyes changed several times, then he smiled and said, "Hehe, Senior Brother is laughing, just now it was Senior Brother who lost his temper, I wonder how Tian Huo Zhen Zhen is these days?"

The arrogance on his face had completely disappeared.

Tian Huo Zhen Zhen was the name Liu Yan used when he was at the JieDan stage, and since his cultivation had fallen back to the Foundation Establishment stage, only ordinary disciples would call him that.

Many of the new disciples had never even heard of the name Heavenly Flame Realist.

Xu Mu nodded at his words and said, "My master recently went on a cloud tour, everything is fine, I'm sorry for your concern, Senior Brother!

Xu Mu was quite curious as to how Liu See knew Liu Yan, both of them had the surname Liu, they couldn't be related, could they?

Liu See's eyes flickered for a moment, seemingly a bit surprised, then he smiled and said, "That's fine, please take the token, you've already completed your enrolment."Thank you, Senior Brother! Senior Brother farewell!" said Xu Mu, respectfully greeting Liu See before turning to leave.

It wasn't until after Xu Mu left that Liu See changed his previous indifferent expression, glanced in the direction Xu Mu had gone, and muttered, "I can't really see through that brat's cultivation, could it be that Red Flame Peak has produced a genius?"

Liu See couldn't imagine it, even if he thought about it, the reason he couldn't see through Xu Mu's cultivation was because Xu Mu didn't have much cultivation right now.

Xu Mu has been living in Red Flame Peak and never goes out, so he doesn't know that Red Flame Peak and Heavenly Sword Peak have always been bitter rivals, and just now Liu See's greeting didn't have any friendly intention at all.

Not long after, Xu Mu returned to Red Flame Peak through the mountain path.

After hesitating for a moment inside the cave, Xu Mu suddenly sat down on his knees and tried to perform the innate skill.

From his previous cultivation, he realised that there didn't seem to be any conflict between spiritual power and internal power, and the two couldn't be mixed.

In this way, cultivating internal energy alone would most likely not affect the recovery of his meridians.

After a few attempts, Xu Mu realised that this was still true, and began to practice the internal skill with all his might.

After a long time, Xu Mu opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What's going on? The recovery speed of the meridians seems to have become faster," Xu Mu muttered.After checking his body with the method of inner vision, Xu Mu found that the injuries on his meridians had indeed improved after some cultivation of the innate skill.

Although the speed of this improvement was not as fast as the Spiritual Liquid given by his master, it was not to be underestimated.

"Is it because the internal power has accelerated the absorption of the Spiritual Liquid, or does it really have a healing effect?" wondered Xu Mu in his heart.

However, no one could give him an answer to this question, he was now on a cultivation path that was completely different from the past, not even Liu Yan could.

Soon, Xu Mu immersed himself in the cultivation of innate skills.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, and the meridians that were supposed to recover on the third day were not expected to fully recover from his meridian injuries on the second night when combined with the internal power of the Innate Skill.

After recovering, the first thing Xu Mu did was to recultivate the Withered Tree Rejuvenation Technique, his previous realm of this technique was still there, this cultivation was just to replenish the missing spiritual energy.Not long after, he managed to condense a ball of cyan spiritual energy above his sea of qi, which seemed to be slightly larger than before.

Unfortunately, if there were no surprises, Xu Mu would not be able to cultivate this technique again. Sighing helplessly, he began to cultivate the Fire Cloud Technique.

The moment the cultivation began, Xu Mu's body felt a trace of pain, but it quickly disappeared.

After practicing the Fire Cloud Technique for a long time, Xu Mu slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "What Master said was indeed true, the second time I cultivated, my progress was much faster than the first time.

That's right, since Xu Mu was already cultivating the basic technique for the second time, his cultivation speed had increased despite the different characteristics of the two techniques.

"I just don't know, will this third cultivation be even faster?" muttered Xu Mu, before putting his doubts behind him and continuing to cultivate.After a year of being cultivated by Liu Yan, cultivation had been completely integrated into Xu Mu's life, and if he didn't cultivate for a day, Xu Mu really didn't know what to do.

Whether this is a good or bad result is actually hard to judge, after all, it is not just cultivation that determines a cultivator's combat power, and burying one's head in the sand and practising hard might not be a good thing.

However, at this stage, the only thing Xu Mu needed to worry about was his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, the first day of the sect competition had arrived. Early in the morning, Xu Mu finished his breakfast and then sacrificed his Green Leaf Phantom to fly towards Hidden Mist Peak.

Not long after, Xu Mu arrived at Hidden Mist Peak.

As the mist had already dissipated, Xu Mu could see from afar that the place was already overcrowded, and there was not even a place to land.

After easily finding a corner to land on the ground, Xu Mu had just put down his Green Leaf Phantasmal Artefact when his shoulder was tapped by someone, and the person who came was none other than Shi Yu!

"Shi Yu? You're here?" Seeing his old friend again, Xu Mu was very happy, Shi Yu was considered his only friend on the mountain."Hee hee, I don't know how to fly, so I can't be a stupid bird and fly first! But I see you wandering around in the sky for half a day before you come down, that's just too funny!" said Shi Yu with a smile.

Xu Mu sniffed and rubbed his nose helplessly, "I didn't expect this place to be so crowded either, otherwise I would have just flown halfway up the mountain."

"That's right, don't you know, the sect doesn't send out sect missions these days, we outer disciples have nothing to do, so of course we came to join in the fun," Shi Yu explained.

Xu Mu then understood why so many people had gathered at Hidden Mist Peak, it was estimated that there were thousands of people, or it was the first time he could see so many disciples of the sect.

Actually, the disciples of Red Flame Peak were considered to be fewer in comparison because there was only one cultivator above the Foundation Establishment stage left, Liu Yan, who didn't have as much energy to teach his disciples.

Like Heavenly Sword Peak, which had the largest number of people, there were five hundred disciples in one peak, which was not much better than Tai Ling Peak, where the sect leader was.

Shi Yu, on the other hand, asked curiously, "Xu Mu, have you enrolled yet?"Xu Mu nodded and said, "Well, I signed up, Master Teacher even sent me to the treasury to get some magic weapons!"

Shi Yu said with two bright eyes, "Then I'll watch you show off your skills when the time comes!"

As she said that, her complexion suddenly turned pale and she sighed, "It's me, obviously better qualified than you, but I'm still at the third level of qi cultivation and I can't even fly with a weapon, so it's really irritating!"

Xu Mu smiled helplessly and comforted, "The matter of cultivation, just go with the flow, no need to force it too much."
