Chapter 92 Soul Spring
After leaving the crowd, Lin Mu fell into a coma.
He was so seriously injured that it was a miracle that he could stay awake in front of everyone.
When Lin Mu was in a coma, his deeds of killing the nine great warriors of the Qiao family and seriously injuring the warriors were not as uproarous as expected.
At first, Xichuan City was in a state of excitement. Everyone was shocked by the miracle Lin Mu created.
But soon, the news was suppressed by two mysterious forces. It could not leave Xichuan City at all, and there were fewer and fewer related discussions in the city.
Over time, the impact of this incident became minimal.
Three days later.
Lin Mu finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a familiar yet unfamiliar room.
What is unfamiliar is the environment, what is familiar is the smell.
The air was fresh, surrounded by a hint of sweet girlish fragrance. He was too familiar with this scent.
His eyes moved slightly to the side, then stopped soon.
Sure enough, sitting next to him, a girl around fourteen years old was wiping his face carefully with a wet towel.
"Small bowl?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Mu found that his throat seemed to be on fire.
"Master, are you awake?" Lin Xiaowan froze slightly, then looked at him in surprise, crying with joy.
Tears fell on Lin Mu's mouth.
He licked it with his tongue and said with a smile: "I happen to be thirsty. It tastes good, but a little salty."
Lin Xiaowan's face turned slightly red, and he smiled through his tears: "Young Master is talking nonsense again."
Then he picked up the teacup on the bedside table and gently gave Lin Mu some water.
After drinking more than half a glass of water, Lin Mu finally felt relieved. Then he glanced around: "Little bowl, where is this?"
"Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion, my room."
Lin Xiaowan was not embarrassed when it came to saying that it was her room. In her subconscious mind, it was natural for the young master to sleep in her room.
After being surrounded and killed by the Qiao family, Lin Mu felt that he saw things more clearly.
Lin Xiaowan's plain words made him feel that this kind of relationship, as light as water, was the greatest trust and attachment.
In this girl's heart, I am afraid that he and she have already been regarded as one.
Originally, he wanted to thank Lin Xiaowan for begging Old Man Xu to save him, but now he understood that there was no need to say such words, and he could not say them.
Having said that, it would hurt the relationship between the two people.
From now on, whether he saves Lin Xiaowan or Lin Xiaowan fights for him, it is his duty.
So he naturally asked: "Where is Old Man Xu?"
"Senior told me that you can go to the backyard to find him at any time after you wake up." Lin Xiaowan said.
Lin Mu was in a wheelchair, pushed and supported by Lin Xiaowan, and came to the backyard.
"Coming?" Old Man Xu said calmly.
"You guys chat, I'll go to the store first." Lin Xiaowan smiled slightly and closed the door quietly after going out.
"You brat, in terms of popularity with women, you are quite a bit as charming as I was back then." Looking at Lin Xiaowan's leaving figure, Old Man Xu said with emotion.
Hearing his rude words, Lin Mu was too lazy to respond. Instead, he said, "Old man, the Ning family where you and Ning Ping'an live is the same Ning family that serves as the imperial concubine, right?"
"You are indeed the little guy who can make the Qiao family suffer. Compared with you, other young people in Tianyuan Mansion have their IQs as if they were eaten by dogs."
Old Man Xu sighed and said, "Tell me, how did you guess it?"
A complex look flashed in Lin Mu's eyes, and then he regained his composure and said, "I have heard the names of the three major colleges in Tianyuan Mansion. With the status of Seven Star College, I am not qualified to make concessions to the Qiao family."
"It's always been like this. There must be a stronger background behind Seven Star Academy or you. This is one of them."
"Secondly, there are many families named Ning in the Yan Kingdom, but the Ning family can make even the Qiao family fearful. Haha, the answer is already very clear."
"In addition, with your old man's character, you have always been unwilling to do anything early. I don't believe that Xiaowan begged you, and you will take action easily. It only shows that you have the intention to save me."
"For a strong person like you to save me, you must either be a stronger master or have a very high status. And I, Lin Mu, have only met one such person."
Lin Mu did not say who that person was, but the two people present undoubtedly knew it.
"You guys are right. Two months ago, your Royal Highness came to the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion and told me to secretly take care of a person, but not until that person's life or death." Seeing that Lin Mu had analyzed so clearly, Xu The old man didn't deny it either.
But he looked a little unhappy and snorted coldly: "Huh, you kid really doesn't know what kind of luck you have, so that you can be valued by the noble concubine."
Lin Mu smiled: "Old man Xu, how do you know the imperial concubine?"
"The former Ning Mansion has actually been destroyed. The current Ning Mansion was rebuilt by the noble concubine." Old Man Xu said in a solemn tone, "I am the housekeeper of the former Ning Mansion."
"How did the former Ning Mansion fall?" Lin Mu frowned. It seemed that it was more difficult for Ning Qingyu to reach this point than he imagined.
"The family was confiscated by the imperial decree of the previous King Yan." Old Man Xu took a sip of tea, "Of course, after Jin Sheng ascended the throne, he was rehabilitated, so the noble concubine was able to receive the call of Jin Sheng again and step into the position of noble concubine. "
"The former Ning Mansion was eradicated, which shows that the imperial concubine does not have a strong background, and there is Empress Yan on top. The imperial concubine must be in a difficult situation in the palace, right?" Lin Mu said solemnly.
"Yes, so despite the fact that the imperial concubine has a noble status, she is actually walking on thin ice in the palace."
Old Man Xu said sternly, "That's why the imperial concubine will continue to manage her power secretly. Otherwise, the imperial concubine without roots will be overthrown sooner or later."
Hearing this, Lin Mu's eyes flashed: "Are you running the Seven Star Academy just to help the noble concubine train warriors?"
Old Man Xu looked at him and said with a smile: "This is the main purpose, but powerful Seven Star Academy is also my long-cherished wish."
"Then, what are your plans for me next?" Lin Mu lowered his eyes. He had already guessed that Old Man Xu saved him, firstly because of Ning Qingyu's instructions, and secondly because he valued his potential and wanted to cultivate him.
He was not happy about this, but he didn't intend to refuse. After all, the other party did have a life-saving grace for him.
"Originally, due to the instructions of the noble concubine, I planned to save you, but I never thought of keeping you." Old Man Xu did not answer Lin Mu's words, but changed the subject, "For me, it is easy to control, and it is more valuable than potential. Important, after all, people with greater potential but difficult to control often mean greater hidden dangers."
"And you, the boy, are the most difficult to figure out. Your powerful martial arts talent is enough to frighten people. You also have alchemy skills that shock the world. The strength and methods you display are beyond common sense."
"When something goes wrong, you become a monster. People like you are a real monster. Even I can't figure out your details. I even doubt whether you are a chess piece arranged by the imperial concubine's enemy or other forces. So initially, After I save you, I will no longer care about you and let you fend for yourself."
"Then why did you change your mind again?" Lin Mu asked in surprise.
He has so many secrets, including Ye Qianche, Tianji Tu, Strange Fire, Immortal-killing Flying Knife, and Alchemy Grandmaster inheritance, it is normal for Old Man Xu to not be able to figure him out.
A gentle smile appeared on Old Man Xu's face: "Because that girl, when she knelt down and begged me, I was thinking that the person who can protect her like this, even if he is not a good person, is at least trustworthy. "
Lin Mu felt warm in his heart. It seemed that Lin Xiaowan had indeed saved him.
If Old Man Xu just rescued him and left, but didn't take him in, his current situation would definitely be a disaster.
The Qiao family and other major aristocratic families would definitely not give up on killing him easily, and his soul suffered serious backlash. Even warriors of the same level could not defeat him, let alone those with higher cultivation levels.
At the same time, his eyes softened a lot, and his view of Old Man Xu changed.
On the surface, this old man is careless and only interested in profit. Now it seems that maybe that is just a disguise.
"Next, I will take you to Seven Star College." Seeing the change in Lin Mu's eyes, Old Man Xu grinned, "Xichuan City is too small, which seriously limits your horizons. If you are in a more developed city, you There is no way that I don’t know the concubine’s life experience. By the way, how is your health?”
Lin Mu's face darkened: "It's very bad. I need to rest for at least three months."
"No, it's too long." Mr. Xu immediately shook his head, "I will give you a month at most. After one month, we will set off for Tianyuan City."
"It seems that the only option is to open up a furnace to make elixirs." Lin Mu pondered secretly.
Now, his soul was severely damaged and he could not use the power of his soul at all. His cultivation level had also declined, and he had retreated to the second level of martial arts.
With normal practice, it would take two or three years to fully recover, and the three months he mentioned would only allow him to barely be able to fight.
Fortunately, Wu Qingyun was a master of alchemy and had been exposed to various situations during his lifetime. In his memory, there were many elixirs for repairing soul damage.
Most of those elixirs were very advanced and beyond his ability. There was only one elixir called "Soul-nurturing Pill" that was suitable for his current stage.
In the next few days, Lin Mu began to collect the medicinal materials needed for the "Soul Nourishing Pill".
The reserves of the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion are still very strong. He collected most of the medicinal materials in a long time, except for one herb called "Yinhun Grass".
"Are you looking for the Ghost Grass?" At this time, Ye Qianche's voice came into his mind, "I know where it is."
"Oh?" Lin Mu looked happy.
"Do you know why I chose to escape into the Taiwu Mountains in the first place?" Ye Qianche said with a smile.
"Isn't it because of the fire in the center of the earth?" Lin Mu said.
"This is one reason, but you have to know that I am a raging soul clan. The flame alone cannot attract me. What's more important is that the passage where the flames are located in the center of the earth leads to a soul spring. ." Ye Qianche explained, "Yinhun grass is abundant around the soul spring."
"It seems that the damage to my soul can be saved." Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be too happy. There is a powerful race living near the soul spring. Even when I controlled the body of the Nine-Xuan Fire Python, I didn't dare to provoke it. Otherwise, I would have captured the soul spring. How could there be any more? Defeated by Ning Qingyu." Ye Qianche said angrily.
"When you controlled the Nine-Xuan Fire Python, your strength was comparable to that of the Martial Lord. You didn't dare to provoke them at that time, and you still let me go?" Lin Mu's face suddenly turned ugly, "Ning Qingyu just saved my life. You don’t just want me to die, do you?”
"Of course you can't take it by force, but that doesn't mean you can't take it wisely." Hearing Lin Mu mention Ning Qingyu, Ye Qianche was immediately stimulated, "That race is a highly intelligent creature, not a violent and brainless beast. As long as the method is used, Correct, it’s entirely possible to convince them.”
"What can we do?" Lin Mu said with a slightly relieved expression.
"The method is in your Pure Yang Sword." Ye Qianche said with a wave of eyes.
"Inside the Pure Yang Sword?" Lin Mu's eyes suddenly changed, "Ye Qianche, what do you mean?"
