Chapter 17: Laying the Groundwork for the Immortal Herb
In six years, he went from level 11 to level 30. This speed is not much faster than that of the Golden Generation.
The main reason is that Qin Mu spent too much time learning Spirit theory and pharmacology.
While the elders could understand Qin Mu's study of Spirit theory, they were completely baffled by his study of pharmacology.
Why do people waste time learning these things when there are already high-level healing-type Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall?
Qin Mu naturally did not offer any explanation to them.
He can't just tell them that he's studying in order to obtain the Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Eyes, can he?
At the entrance of the Spirit Hall, two figures walked out of the Spirit Hall side by side.
One of them was over 1.7 meters tall and looked only about twelve years old, but he was very handsome and had a graceful demeanor, which made many passing girls look infatuated.
Who else but Qin Mu possesses such a temperament?
"Thank you very much, Elder Yue. This learning experience has been very beneficial to me."
Qin Mu cupped his hands in thanks to the other person, but the person stopped him.
Elder Yue's appearance was equally extraordinary, giving off a bewitching aura, and his skin was as delicate as a baby's.
"If you hadn't already become a disciple of the Pope, I would have loved to make you my personal apprentice!"
With a gratified pat on Qin Mu's shoulder, Yue Guan looked at Qin Mu with eyes full of affection.
As expected of a genius with innate full soul power, Qin Mu can grasp the knowledge he is taught immediately, and often he can even apply it to other situations.
This made Yue Guan think highly of Qin Mu.
Upon hearing Yue Guan's words, Qin Mu was taken aback at first, then immediately took a step back and bowed down to Yue Guan.
"In my heart, Elder Yue is also an invaluable mentor!"
"well."
A relieved smile appeared on Yue Guan's face as he reached out to help Qin Mu up.
"I remember you just broke through to level 30, didn't you? I happen to have some free time right now, how about I help you hunt down your third spirit ring?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Yue. However, I already made plans with Sister Ling Yuan and Sister Nana to go to the Star Dou Forest together."
"Okay, then. Be careful on your journey."
Yue Guan sighed with a hint of regret. Then Qin Mu bid farewell to Yue Guan and headed to the Spirit Hall Academy to find Hu Liena.
Qin Mu is undoubtedly the most outstanding figure in the Spirit Hall Academy.
However, his dazzling brilliance is somewhat intimidating.
It's not just about his appearance, but also his terrifying talent.
After all, he possessed innate full soul power, allowing him to cultivate much faster than his peers.
While most people take until they are fifteen to reach level thirty, Qin Mu has already achieved that at just twelve years old.
This made the students at the Spirit Hall Academy feel immense pressure when they were near him.
However, while Qin Mu's presence might be a source of pressure for his peers, it wasn't a concern for the most talented students at the Spirit Hall Academy.
For example, Hu Liena.
With her innate level nine cultivation, her training speed was also very fast, making her a prominent figure in the Spirit Hall Academy.
At only fifteen years old, her soul power had already reached level forty.
Qin Mu's purpose in coming to the Spirit Hall Academy was naturally to go to the Star Dou Forest with Hu Liena to obtain spirit rings.
Upon arriving at the training ground of the Spirit Hall Academy, Qin Mu immediately spotted a blonde girl leaning against a white jade railing, bathed in sunlight that cast a golden glow upon her.
The girl was about fifteen years old. Her tight-fitting clothes perfectly accentuated her shapely figure, and her long, shapely legs attracted the secret admiring glances of many young boys.
The girl, just standing there, was like an alluring rose. Her beautiful face and bewitching eyes attracted most of the boys' attention, even though there were many other pretty girls on the training field.
As her gaze shifted, the girl spotted the figure who had been waiting, and a smile instantly bloomed on her previously indifferent face.
Hu Liena skipped over to Qin Mu's side, her eyebrows and eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Are you done with work?"
"Hmm, where is Sister Ling Yuan?"
"She has to go back to the Spirit Hall. Let's wait for her outside the academy."
Hu Liena naturally took Qin Mu's arm, something Qin Mu was already used to.
Just as the two were about to leave the training ground side by side, a fiery red figure suddenly darted out from the entrance.
"Nana! What are you two doing again?"
Yan stood at the entrance of the training ground, talking to Hu Liena, but looking at Qin Mu with a hostile expression.
"Yan! What are you doing here again?"
Seeing that Yan remained silent and only stared at him, Qin Mu naturally knew that Yan had special feelings for Hu Liena, and couldn't help but feel helpless about Hu Liena, this femme fatale.
However, despite his inner complaints, Hu Liena has taken good care of him over the past six years.
Qin Mu had no reason to distance himself from Hu Liena, who had always cared for him, because of Yan.
"Senior Yan, I'm with Sister Nana to find a suitable spirit ring for myself, that shouldn't be your business, right?"
"You're going to find a spirit ring, and you're going to have to drag yourselves around like this?!"
Yan pointed at the two of them holding hands, feeling somewhat exasperated.
"Nana, is this your reason for not coming with us to hunt for spirit rings the other day?"
Hu Liena naturally had even less kind words for Yan.
"What? Is that not allowed?"
"Qin Mu is my junior brother. Is there a problem with us being close?"
"Besides, I can be with whoever I want, it's none of your business."
Hu Liena's words cut into Yan's heart like sharp swords, causing him great pain.
Seeing that he couldn't reason with Hu Liena, Yan immediately looked at Qin Mu and said coldly.
"Qin Mu, I know you're arrogant and very talented."
"But I advise you to stay away from Nana."
"Otherwise, I'll make you pay the price!"
Qin Mu glanced at Yan and sneered, "You? Do you even have that ability?"
Upon hearing this, Yan was about to lash out when Hu Liena immediately stepped in front of Qin Mu.
"Yan, I'm warning you, if you dare lay a hand on Qin Mu, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
"Furthermore, I will tell the teacher about this. Given Qin Mu's status in the Spirit Hall, you should know what your fate will be!"
Hu Liena's two consecutive threats left Yan speechless.
With a cold snort, Hu Liena pulled Qin Mu and headed out of the academy.
As the two walked past him intimately, Yan was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.
Resentment, anger, jealousy... these emotions caused Yan immense inner turmoil.
No, no! Only I am worthy of Hu Liena!
The Spirit was released instantly, and four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, hovered around Yan's body.
Suddenly turning around, Yan's second spirit ring lit up, and many rock fragments appeared on Yan's hand, completely covering it.
Before Qin Mu and Hu Liena could react, Yan leaped up and slammed into Qin Mu's back.
