The carp spirit recounted the story of leaping over the Dragon Gate to Su Mu.
Lin Hongbin, the Daoist robe-clad man standing to the side, had heard the story mentioned before, but after hearing it again, he still found it extraordinary.
You should know that in order to achieve Foundation Establishment Perfection, he has traveled all over the world and read countless ancient books in recent years, searching for a method to achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment.
He is now well-versed in ancient and modern classics, but no matter how much he searches, he cannot find a method for Perfect Foundation Establishment, let alone know about the extraordinary event of a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.
Therefore, he felt that Su Mu should know more about cultivation than he did.
In that case, the other party should be able to give him a lot of guidance.
Lin Hongbin was invigorated and began to look forward to it.
"Oh, by the way, this is a thank-you gift for Mr. Su."
After recounting her experience, the carp spirit quickly presented her gift as a token of gratitude.
They were dozens of fish scales that had been melted by heavenly fire. After being melted, these scales appeared crystal clear and very hard.
Why are they fish scales?
Su Mu looked somewhat disappointed; he had thought it would be some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
However, Yu Guyue nodded, "This thing is good. If it's refined into fish scale armor, it should be able to block attacks from Core Formation Stage. It can be sold for a lot of Spirit Stone."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately perked up. Anything that could be sold for Spirit Stone was a treasure.
Thinking of this, Su Mu reached out and took the fish scale.
Who is this?
Su Mu accepted the fish scales and couldn't help but look at Lin Hongbin. The other man had also come with the carp spirit and seemed to have some request as well.
"This is a fellow cultivator I met on my journey; I would also like to ask Mr. Su for some guidance."
Upon hearing this, the carp spirit quickly replied.
Su Mu frowned. Why again?
Each of them seemed to think he had such great ability to enlighten the other.
Please.
Su Mu reached out, intending to ask the other party to leave. So far, these few little demons had all succeeded by accident, having grasped the truth on their own.
If Su Mu continues to enlighten him, this character will definitely collapse.
It's not a big deal if the character's persona collapses, but I'm worried about what will happen if these people come back and demand the treasure back. There's no reason to return something you've already got.
Yu Guyue claimed that following him would give her a glimmer of hope, yet she nearly perished under the Heavenly Tribulation, which somewhat illustrates that one's character can indeed crumble.
" Mr. Su, I understand the rules."
Before Su Mu could finish speaking, Lin Hongbin actually took off his Storage Bag from his waist and tossed it at Su Mu.
"This is a deposit. Regardless of whether I achieve enlightenment or not, the Spirit Stone here belong to Mr. Su. However, if I do achieve enlightenment, I will offer a generous reward in return."
This is not...
Su Mu subconsciously took the Storage Bag, intending to ask the other party to take Storage Bag back. However, as if guided by a divine sense, Su Mu scanned the Storage Bag Storage Bag with his Divine Sense and immediately took it back.
"Very well, seeing your sincerity, you may stay by my side for a while. As for whether you can comprehend anything, that depends entirely on your talent."
Su Mu didn't want to agree at first, but the other party offered too much.
I just glanced at it, and there are a full three million Spirit Stone inside!
This fellow Daoist before me is incredibly wealthy? He casually tossed out three million Spirit Stone.
Lin Hongbin's face lit up with joy, and he cupped his hands, saying, "In that case, I will speak. I have been pursuing the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, seeking the most stable foundation to pave the way for my future cultivation path. However, I always feel that I am missing the final step in my cultivation. I wonder where this deficiency lies."
Su Mu raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing some surprise. This friendly idea was quite ambitious!
Hearing that the more solid one's foundation in cultivation, the better, Su Mu would have thought the other person had transmigrated if he didn't know that such poems didn't exist in this world.
Su Mu pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. "You shall stay by my side for a while."
Since the Spirit Stone have been accepted, it's best to keep the other party around for a while. If they haven't grasped anything by then, we can just say they haven't.
Su Mu made up her mind and decided to keep the other party there.
The carp spirit was also happy. It bowed to Su Mu as a cultivator and then took its leave. It no longer needed Su Mu's guidance; now it only needed to find a way to get through Dragon Gate Mountain.
"This must be the Demon King, right?"
At that moment, Lin Hongbin suddenly turned his head and looked at Yu Guyue.
"I wonder what the Demon King's experience was like when he faced the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. If I am fortunate enough to Perfect Foundation Establishment, I will likely encounter that Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation well."
"Even Foundation Establishment need to Tribulation Transcendence?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon King immediately frowned, somewhat puzzled.
I've never heard of anyone needing to Tribulation Transcendence to reach the Foundation Establishment.
"This is a premonition I have in the the Unseen. If I were to Perfect Foundation Establishment, I would inevitably face this calamity."
Lin Hongbin said in a deep voice.
He knew that Su Mu had helped the Demon Tribulation Transcendence, but he didn't ask Su Mu immediately. Firstly, he knew Su Mu might not agree, and secondly, he wanted to understand the power of the Heavenly Tribulation and see if he could withstand it on his own.
Yu Guyue was somewhat surprised, but she also knew that since the other party had such a feeling, it should be true. So she immediately recounted her experience of the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Lin Hongbin carefully recorded everything, and only put away the Jade Slip after confirming that there were no omissions.
Then he started keeping an eye on Su Mu. On his way here, he had heard about Su Mu enlightening a little demon.
Therefore, at this moment, he must carefully analyze the meaning behind Su Mu's every move in order to avoid missing the opportunity to enlighten her.
Feeling uncomfortable under the other person's gaze, Su Mu turned and went back into the house. "I need to meditate for a while. Xiao Wu, find him a secluded courtyard to stay in first."
It took Su Mu quite a while to integrate into the physical body, so he needs to go back to Earth and eat something first.
I don't know when I'll reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Once I've achieved Foundation Establishment Grain Avoidance and abstain from grains, I won't have to worry about this anymore.
Su Mu returned to his room and entered a meditative state. When he opened his eyes, he was already back on Earth.
On Earth, Su Mu ate something and then took a bath with the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, immediately feeling refreshed.
How are the fruit trees at the foot of the mountain growing?
Su Mu looked at the Spirit of the Dragon Vein struggling in the spiritual spring and asked.
The Spirit of the Dragon Vein swam around a few times and gestured.
Su Mu understood what the other party meant. The fruit trees were growing very well. It was already winter, but judging from their growth, they should bear fruit soon. After being watered with the spiritual spring, the fruit trees no longer needed to fear the harsh winter.
Is Mr. Su here?
Su Mu had just emerged from the spiritual spring when he heard shouts from the doorway. After confirming who it was, Su Mu raised an eyebrow; it turned out to be an acquaintance.
Wei Zhonghao was waiting for Su Mu to open the door.
