Chapter 63 Six Months Later
The group entered the Clear Sky Sect. At this moment, there was no trace of human life, not even of animals, in the main hall.
"Judging from the level of dust, they have probably been gone for more than a week."
Before Yue Guan stepped forward, he wiped the pillar beside him with his hand and finally came to this conclusion.
Bibi Dong wanted to conduct a thorough search, but after hearing Yue Guan's assessment, she abandoned that idea.
The place was deserted, and there was no need for anyone to stay.
Fortunately, this incident did not become as widely known as the previous pursuit of Tang Hao, and the reputation of the Spirit Hall was not greatly damaged.
However, it still caused quite a stir within the Spirit Hall.
In the end, Bibi Dong forcefully suppressed the other voices in the hall and announced that the matter was over.
Of course, even so, many elders still vaguely sensed that something was wrong, as there seemed to be more people entering and leaving the Spirit Hall every day than before.
Bibi Dong was also aware of Ling Yuan's improved strength.
However, because Ling Yuan's strength had not fully recovered and she deliberately concealed it, Bibi Dong did not notice anything too unusual.
The end of the matter does not mean the end of Qin Mu's training.
After finishing up the matter of Clear Sky Sect, Qin Mu had Ling Yuan take him back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Since the Snow Maiden was in the extremely cold Yin Spring, Qin Mu was also worried about leaving her alone here.
Although Dugu Bo is still there, he is not him after all, and there is no guarantee that he will have some conflict with Xue Nu.
So Qin Mu first spent some time healing Ling Yuan's unhealed injuries, and then focused on cultivating, waiting for the Snow Maiden to emerge from the extremely cold Yin Spring.
Having recovered to her peak condition, Ling Yuan, seeing that she would not have any work to do for the time being, immediately took out the soul bone that Qin Mu had given to the Fifth Elder.
"Oh dear, this is a soul bone that Qin Mu gave me! I'm almost embarrassed to accept it!"
"It's not a particularly powerful soul bone, only 40,000 years old!"
"I doubt that absorbing it will improve my strength much!"
Seeing that Dugu Bo was so angry his mouth was almost crooked, Ling Yuan finally found a place to sit down and began to absorb the two soul bones.
It would be a lie to say that Dugu Bo wasn't envious, but soul bones are treasures that are hard to come by, so he was too embarrassed to just ask for one.
Furthermore, with Ling Yuan constantly protecting Qin Mu, his own status was incomparable to Ling Yuan's, and gradually his envy turned into relief.
"Don't worry, Old Poisoner. I didn't find anything suitable on this trip, otherwise I would have brought it to you."
"If a suitable soul bone comes along in the future, it will definitely be yours!"
Hearing Qin Mu's assurance from the side, Dugu Bo smiled sheepishly, feeling much more at ease.
After all, he had seen what Ling Yuan had gained. As long as he treated Qin Mu well, he was sure he would reap the benefits in the future.
The days that followed were much more peaceful. Apart from the occasional bickering between Ling Yuan and Dugu Bo, everyone spent most of their time cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Before we knew it, half a year had passed quietly.
Five months ago, Dugu Bo had become impatient and subtly inquired when Qin Mu would begin the detoxification process, but Qin Mu refused each time.
After all, my body hasn't fully absorbed the Star Anise Ice Grass. If I were to rashly take more of the Immortal Herb, it might be counterproductive.
Another month passed, and seeing that Dugu Bo's eyes were becoming more and more resentful, Qin Mu gradually couldn't stand it anymore and finally agreed to completely remove the toxins from his body immediately.
Of course, if Qin Mu hadn't felt that his body had completely exhausted the effects of the Star Anise Ice Grass, he wouldn't have agreed even if Dugu Bo had knelt down and begged him.
Standing before a large, white, octagonal flower beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, Qin Mu's body trembled uncontrollably from the impact of the extreme cold emanating from the flower.
With a single swing of his soul-guided sword, the Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass fell to the ground.
The moment Qin Mu made his move, Ling Yuan, who was in the scorching Yang Spring, also made her move, using the jade ruler in her hand to dig out the Fiery Apricot and throw it precisely next to the Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass.
Even though Ling Yuan moved so quickly, the scorching heat of the Fiery Apricot caused a small blister to form on her hand.
It should be noted that Ling Yuan, who had consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, had reached almost the limit of human tolerance to fire, meaning that virtually no temperature could burn her.
But right now, she had only dug up an Immortal Herb that looked like a cabbage, and a blister had already been burned on her hand, which was simply unbelievable.
"What kind of Immortal Herb is this? It's so strange... Little Qin Mu, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Yuan came to Qin Mu's side, intending to complain about the Fiery Apricot's heat, but she found that Qin Mu's face was turning red and blue, and his blood was churning.
However, Qin Mu did not answer her question. Under Ling Yuan's horrified gaze, he directly stuffed the two Immortal Herbs into his mouth.

After finishing his meal, Qin Mu tore off his clothes. Before Ling Yuan, who was blushing, could react, Qin Mu's body began to change from blue to red.
After the green and red colors changed once, Qin Mu felt as if his body was about to be crushed by the domineering power of the two Immortal Herbs within him.
Fortunately, Qin Mu's physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and after taking the Star Anise Ice Grass, his spiritual strength also underwent a qualitative leap.
Trembling, Qin Mu walked to the confluence of the frigid Yin Spring and the scorching Yang Spring, and under Ling Yuan's horrified gaze, he plunged headfirst into it.
"Little Qin Mu!"
Seeing this, Ling Yuan immediately jumped into the scorching Yang Spring and checked on Qin Mu's condition inside the water.
Fortunately, although there was an extremely violent energy raging within Qin Mu's body, his vital signs were still relatively stable.
Although she didn't know why Qin Mu did this, out of trust in Qin Mu, and because Qin Mu had previously given her instructions, Ling Yuan didn't do anything and quietly stayed aside to observe.
In less than half a day, Qin Mu had completely absorbed the two Immortal Herbs.
After all, Qin Mu's current physical strength is far superior to what Tang San could have achieved back then.
Slowly opening his eyes, he was greeted by Ling Yuan's slightly anxious face.
"Little Qin Mu, why didn't you mention how much the two Immortal Herbs you consumed had changed? They scared me to death!"
Ling Yuan had just breathed a sigh of relief when her face suddenly turned red.
"You little rascal, get up there and put your clothes on!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu realized that he had been so caught up in the joy of successfully taking the medicine that he had forgotten he was completely naked.
Ling Yuan swam to the surface first, and just as Qin Mu was about to return, he suddenly felt an extremely cold aura beneath his feet.
This aura actually made Qin Mu, who had just undergone the tempering of ice and fire, feel cold!
How is this possible?!
