Chapter 1920 A Refreshing Discussion Over Formations

Lin Mu watched the flames, knowing that the crystal that the Head Elder had taken out was an Immortal tool too.

Albeit a low grade one.

"This isn't exactly a normal Qi flame, but the crystal can replicate its effects. It is equivalent to the Advanced Qi flame." The Head Elder spoke.

"I can see that, but why is it green?" Lin Mu questioned. "Isn't an Advanced Qi flame Deep Blue in color?" he asked.

Lin Mu still vividly remembered the first time he had seen the flames. They had been used by none other than Elder Pigu and they had come at the cost of his very life. 'And yet, the equivalents are being used so easily here.' Lin Mu thought to himself, a hint of melancholy rising in his mind.

"As it is not a true Advanced Qi flame, it does not have the same Deep Blue color. I am using my Wood Elemental Immortal Qi here, which will further boost the effects of the tea, which leads to the flames being green.

This crystal here is called a Qi Igniter Crystal. These can be used by cultivators who do not have their own Qi flame to make pills.

Of course, the success rate of the pills made with this isn't exactly high, but it still allows one to make Immortal pills. Albeit at the cost of more resources." The Head Elder explained. "But for making some tea, they are perfect." He added.

"Indeed." Lin Mu could see the effect very well, as the tea started to boil.

The soft yet rich fragrance of the Pixie Leaf Tea spread in the pergola, calming one's senses.

If not for the fact that the people here were used to it, perhaps it would have made everyone stop their work.

"From what I could judge so far, you've learned quite a few disciplines, have you not?" The Head Elder inquired. "Weapon Refinement, formations, Herbology, and even alchemy. You might not know all of them to apply them practically, but you do know enough to understand the concepts." He spoke.

"Yes, I just learn whatever I feel interested in." Lin Mu replied. "I also focus on learning things that I feel like I need to or I think would help me in things I lack in." He revealed.

"That is a very good habit to have." The Head Elder couldn't help but approve. "But you shouldn't lose track of your cultivation progress by doing that. If you try to do all things at once, you will only run out of time. One cannot be a master of all things. Even for us immortals, we will eventually run out of lifespans." He said, looking at the flickering green flames.

"Hmmm. That is true." Lin Mu said calmly.

Though if one thought about it, the advice did not technically apply to Lin Mu. Unlike others he had more than enough time left to learn as many things as he wanted. And that wasn't even considering that it would still not prevent him from cultivating.

He had the Sleepscape and as such could do both things at the same time, keeping his progress stable with cultivation. They became silent for a couple of minutes, during which the tea was fully brewed.

"Here we go," The Head Elder poured the tea for both of them. "Now we can start the discussion."

"I've been waiting." Lin Mu said with a smile and took a sip.

The tea was soothing and had the perfect flavor that calmed one's senses. Lin Mu could see why the Serene Glass Valley grew pixie leaf tea. It would help one in making formations a lot.

And with such a good tea present, their discussion couldn't help but bloom. The two talked about various concepts, giving their perspectives about them, as well as comparing their understanding. They then talked about the different formations that they had seen, as well as how they could be modified.

Lin Mu talked about some peculiar formations he had seen while the Head Elder explained what they were.

Even Lin Mu didn't know all of them and was in the dark about several formations that used some strange script. They talked about talismans that were wholly focused on skill instead of resources, like the Diamond Mountain Talisman, as well as the others that could only be made with very rare resources.

Time continued to pass, and the morning turned into an afternoon and then to evening. It wasn't until one of the Shuijing clan members visited them did they finally stop.

"Head elder, I've brought you a letter." The Shuijing Clan members spoke.

"Mmm?" The Head Elder looked at the man and raised his brows. "Ah, it's this one." He noticed the seal on the letter and knew what it was.

"Were you expecting it?" Lin Mu asked. "Of course." The old man replied and took the letter.

He opened the small scroll and quickly read its contents.

"Looks like you'll be able to meet Elder Pear soon enough." The Head elder informed.

"Oh? When?" Lin Mu asked.

"Next week. I asked the council about whether Elder Pear would be awakened earlier and they finally sent the response." The Head Elder answered.

"I see, that's good." Lin Mu was pleased with it and didn't mind such a short time to wait.

"Though looks like we'll continue this conversation later. For now, it is best to return." The Head Elder spoke.

"Sure, I do have the entire week." Lin Mu replied. "I'll head to the library now." He added.

"You aren't tired?" The old man asked.

"No, rather I feel good. The discussion actually cleared a lot of doubts and now I wanna read more." Lin Mu answered.

"That's good. Go on then, I'll meet you tomorrow. We'll continue this then." The Head Elder bid Lin Mu farewell.

The two parted their ways and flew in different directions. Lin Mu went to the Shuijing clan to go to the library, while the Head Elder went towards the Great Meteorite Wall.
