The murderer was not a monster, but Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng was holding a sword in his hand, and the other end of the sword was inserted into the heart of a demon-testing warrior.
"What do you mean by the Beast Taming Palace?" Lin Mu was extremely shocked and angry.
"Are you still alive?"
Zhou Qingfeng was also surprised when he saw Lin Mu coming out. In his opinion, there were five fourth-level warriors and two fifth-level warriors, and if they were to pursue Lin Mu, a fourth-level warrior, Lin Mu would definitely die.
Here, he was also waiting for Lin Zhaojun and the other seven people. Who would have thought that the person waiting would be Lin Mu.
"No, you are not a fourth-level warrior, but a sixth-level warrior."
After all, Zhou Qingfeng was a ninth-level warrior. Seeing through Lin Mu's cultivation level at a glance, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's going on?"
At this time, an old man in gray robe came over.
"Master." Zhou Qingfeng suppressed the horror in his heart and said, "This Lin Mu is the person Lin Zhaojun and the seven of them have to deal with, but he was clearly a fourth-level martial arts disciple before. Now, not only is he not dead, he has become a sixth-level martial arts disciple.
I’m a disciple.”
After hearing this, the old man controlling the beast did not look surprised and said calmly: "What's all the fuss about? There are many techniques to hide one's cultivation in this world."
"I see, Master is still wise."
Zhou Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to believe that Lin Mu would improve his cultivation by two levels in just three days, so the explanation of the old man who controlled the beasts immediately resolved his doubts.
But at the same time, he was extremely unhappy in his heart. Lin Zhaojun and the seven men killed Lin Mu, which was his acquiescence. Now that Lin Mu came out alive, especially in front of the old man who controlled the beast, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?
"Little beast, if you fall into my hands, you will die or die."
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately said to the old man who controlled the beast: "Master, this person is clearly a sixth-level warrior, but he concealed his cultivation and pretended to be a fourth-level warrior to enter the monster-raising cave. I think he must be up to something evil. Maybe
He was the one who raised the monster cave this time."
Hearing this, Lin Mu felt murderous intent in his heart.
Although he had already guessed what Zhou Qingfeng was talking about, it was indeed him who killed those little monsters.
But before the demon test, the Beast Taming Palace promised that as long as he came out alive, he would be safe and given generous rewards, but now he went back on his word.
"It's really suspicious, then kill him."
The old man controlling the beast didn't care. He didn't think that Lin Mu, a sixth-level warrior, could kill so many sixth-level demons. But as long as there was a trace of suspicion, he couldn't let it go.
And killing a sixth-level warrior was just a trivial matter to him.
"Want to kill me?"
Lin Mu's anger completely erupted, and he was furious, "Then let's see who killed whom."
His mind was already imagining the elixir fire left by Wu Qingyun in the sea of consciousness. If the person in the Beast Taming Palace wanted to kill him, he would use the elixir fire to destroy the Beast Taming Palace.
"Wait a minute." An old but still rich voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Mu paused for a moment, turned around and saw that the person speaking was an old man in civilian clothes.
"Yu Guanjia?"
The old man controlling the beast was quite puzzled, but he was always very polite to the old man dressed in cloth.
"I wonder if you can give me some face and let this young man go?"
While speaking, Butler Yu looked deeply at Lin Mu.
For some reason, he had an intuition that it would be very dangerous to kill this young man. Even the ninth-level warrior, the old man controlling the beast, could not resist him. Even he would suffer disaster as a result.
Although this idea was absurd, Butler Yu trusted his intuition, so he spoke.
"this……"
The old man who controlled the beast had a troubled look on his face. He had just said that he wanted to kill Lin Mu, but then he changed his words in the blink of an eye, which was too discrediting.
"It's difficult for you to cultivate so many little demons over the years. If possible, I will mention them in front of her this year."
Yu Guanjia said again.
The eyes of the old man controlling the beast suddenly lit up, and he was overjoyed: "I will remember the kindness of the steward, Qingfeng, let this kid go."
Zhou Qingfeng was unwilling to do so, but he did not dare to disobey the old man who controlled the beast, so he had to take back his sword.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Mu had a clear grudge, and even though he didn't know why the housekeeper saved him, he still wrote it down.
"Little guy, it's fate that we met by chance. I'll give you a small gift."
Butler Yu threw a jade slip to Lin Mu, turned around and left regardless of whether Lin Mu wanted it or not.
Lin Mu had no choice but to accept the gift and wanted to ask the housekeeper about his origins, but he had already left, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Back to Lin Mansion."
He was not interested in the reward from the Beast Taming Palace. He clearly sensed Zhou Qingfeng's murderous intention. If he stayed in this place for a while, it would be more dangerous, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
"Humph, Zhou Qingfeng, the old man who controls beasts, if I don't avenge this, I, Lin Mu, will never be a human being." But from then on, Lin Mu had two more enemies in his heart.
Two hours later, the entire Lin Mansion was in alarm.
Because Lin Mu, who is destined to die in everyone's eyes, is back!
"Lin Mu is back."
"What? Didn't he become a demon warrior apprentice?"
"The demon warriors did not die during the test. Is it really a disaster that will last for thousands of years?"
The huge Lin Mansion was like a storm, and there were discussions everywhere.
This matter is indeed incredible.
Over the years, not all of those who tried to become demon warriors survived, but all of them had a decent level of cultivation.
But Lin Mu is just a ten thousand year second-level warrior. Even if there are rumors that he has broken through one or two levels, there is no reason to survive.
While there was a lot of discussion outside, Lin Mu had returned to his yard.
"perspective."
When he was in the Beast Taming Palace, it was inconvenient for him to study Tianyanjue. Now that there was no one to disturb him, he could just settle down and get familiar with it.
Soon, Lin Mu's body appeared in his field of vision.
Muscles, bones, flesh and blood, internal organs, all clearly displayed.
"Is that the martial arts?"
What attracts the most attention are the six faintly glowing red meridians.
Each meridian was filled with rich spiritual energy, and Lin Mu immediately realized that these were martial arteries.
He could sense martial pulses before, but he couldn't see them objectively like now. He suddenly felt a whole new feeling.
He can guarantee that when he fights and practices in the future, he will be able to use spiritual energy finely.
"But the red-level martial arts is really weak. If it were another genius with a heaven-defying technique like Bei Mingjue, he would be at least an eighth-level warrior now, right?"
Even though his cultivation has improved by two levels, think about how many people and monsters he has killed and how much life force he has devoured.
Seven fourth-level warriors, three fifth-level warriors, thirty-six fifth-level demons, twenty sixth-level demons, and many third- and fourth-level demons.
Devouring so much life force only allowed him to be promoted from a fourth-level warrior to a sixth-level warrior. This qualification was extremely poor.
"Wait a minute, the color of the martial arts seems to have changed?"
Suddenly, Lin Mu discovered that the color of his martial arts veins was not pure. The red was mixed with some orange.
"Is it possible for my martial arts to improve?"
Lin Mu was shocked, "The vitality must be the reason for the vitality. I have Beimingjue, which can absorb the vitality, and the martial arts qualifications probably depend on a person's innate life level."
His innate life level is very weak, but as the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If more life force is swallowed up, it will naturally cause the transformation of the life level.
"But it could also be accidental."
Lin Mu was not dazzled by this surprise, "There is no need to force this matter. Anyway, in my current situation, even if I have low qualifications, I can still become a powerful warrior."
In order to calm down, Lin Mu quickly changed his attention.
"Huh? There are still some bloody energy groups in the martial arteries. I understand, this is the energy of Xue Shou Wu."
Lin Mu continued to look inside the body, "With so many energy groups, at least half of the medicinal power is left. Xueshouwu is indeed a famous medicine, and only half of the medicinal power has been consumed so far."
These medicinal powers remain in his martial veins, and they will surely slowly decompose and turn into his spiritual energy in the future.
"My flying knife is too lethal, so I can't use it lightly, otherwise it will be tabooed by others."
The medicinal power of Xue Shou Wu will be digested sooner or later. Lin Mu's thoughts are not on this. "Melee combat skills and boxing skills are my weak points."
When he was in the Demon Raising Cave, Lin Mu rarely fought in close combat. It wasn't that he lacked courage, but that he simply didn't have the corresponding martial arts skills.
At present, the only thing he has mastered is "Threading Step Fist", which was barely enough for a low-level warrior. Now that he is a sixth-level martial artist, the power of "Threading Step Fist" cannot keep up at all.
"Looks like I have to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion."
Lin Mu secretly pondered, "By the way, that mysterious old man named Butler Yu gave me a pamphlet. I don't know what's in it."
Thinking about it, Lin Mu took out the pamphlet.
"Method of collecting interest."
Three big characters came into view.
Lin Mu opened the first page and was immediately attracted by the content inside.
"Xuangui has a long and thin breath, and can hold the breath for a long time. If people follow this example, they can take in the breath..."
"This method has two levels. The first level is to collect the Qi in the belly button, leaving only a little bit of true breath coming in and out..."
"The second level is to completely forget your heart and breath, and place your spiritual knowledge in the void..."
The method of concentrating breath is to imitate the way of survival of black turtles, converging the breath.
The first level is to converge and reduce one's aura, which can have the effect of concealing one's cultivation level.
When you reach the second level, you can completely hide your breath, place your thoughts in the void, and outsiders cannot sense your existence at all.
"This is really timely."
Lin Mu was deeply surprised. The biggest headache for him now is that his cultivation has improved too fast, which can easily lead to suspicion.
Now that he has this skill, others will no longer be able to see through his cultivation level and have no way of knowing his cultivation status.
"Practice this breathing technique first before talking about anything else."
Lin Mu immediately postponed the trip to the Martial Arts Pavilion until tomorrow.
The next day, early morning.
Lin Mu opened the door and breathed in the clear air outside.
He was in a very good mood. After a night of practice, he finally completed the first level of breath concentration.
"Looking from the outside now, my cultivation level is only that of a fourth-level warrior."
Lin Mu could already imagine how those enemies who despised him in the future would be stunned after being defeated by his true strength.
"Go to the martial arts pavilion."
If you are a descendant of the collateral lineage and want to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion to choose martial arts, you must make a contribution to the family.
There is no need for direct descendants, which is one of the reasons why he attaches great importance to the status of direct descendants.
Direct descendants can enjoy many privileges for free.
As Lin Mu appeared on the road outside, the children and servants of the Lin family passing by couldn't help but stop and point.
"This loser is really not dead. I didn't believe it when I heard the news yesterday."
"Letting him go to the Beast Taming Palace is a decision made by the top management. Even if he doesn't die this time, life will not be easy in the future. We should stay away from him."
"Where is he going?"
"That direction seems to be the Martial Arts Pavilion..."
The surrounding sounds did not affect Lin Mu.
Now he has fully understood that if he wants to gain a foothold in this world, strength is the foundation, and other things, such as reputation and popularity, are all illusory bubbles.
