Chapter 111: A Chance Encounter in the Woods
"Then I'll bother Senior Brother Shi. ”
The young Taoist priest with the sword on his back was overjoyed when he heard this, took out a few pieces of rune paper from his arms, a bottle of pale yellow magic ink, and an earth attribute spirit stone, and handed them over.
Shi Mu put these things on the table one by one, then took out the magic pen, spread out a piece of rune paper, held the spirit stone in one hand, and suddenly put the pen in the other hand.
As the pale yellow runes on the rune paper gradually increased, in less than half an hour, a brand-new golden armor rune was completed.
Shi Mu showed a hint of relief on his face.
The Golden Armor Talisman is the one he has made the most during this time, and now even if he does not use the help of pupil power, the success rate is already amazingly high.
He handed back the talisman and the remaining magic ink, talisman paper, and spirit stone to the young Taoist priest with the sword on his back.
"Senior Brother Shi's talisman making technique is simply amazing, some talisman masters in our sect sometimes waste more than a dozen materials, and they may not be able to make a talisman. The young Taoist priest took the things and said happily.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Qin has won the award. But no matter how much you praise me, I won't charge less. The old rules. One talisman with two merit points. Shi Mu said a joke, took out the identity token, and put it on the table.
"This is natural. The young Taoist priest took out his identity token, rubbed it twice, and two points of light flew out of it, and they merged into Shi Mu's token in a flash.
The young Taoist priest thanked him again, and then walked out.
As a result, as soon as this person pushed the door out, another young Xuanwu Sect disciple in blue clothes walked in, and said as he walked:
"Senior Brother Shi, you are back, this time I want to ask you to help me refine a light talisman. ”
Shi Mu looked through the door and found that there were still two people waiting outside, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
At the stone table on the other side of the cave, Bai Yuxiu's face became even colder when he saw this scene, and after saying "dismiss", he got up and walked back to his stone room. At the same time, a soft figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, and a gloomy color flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, this time he was lucky, and next time he won't be so lucky. In such places. It is all too common for an early disciple to lose his life. Bai Yuxiu suddenly slapped the wooden table in the room with one hand and said viciously.
......
After more than half an hour, Shi Mu finally finished drawing the talisman for the last person, and there were already more than 20 merit points on the token. There was also a smile on his face.
As long as you survive this period of time and return to the base camp of the rear alliance, these merit points can come in handy.
Due to the integration of the resources of the seven major factions in one place, the merit points can be exchanged for many things that are rare on weekdays, such as rare spirit stones, some powerful magic weapons, and some precious pills, as long as there are enough merit points, it is not impossible to even the martial arts of other sects.
He closed the door and sat down cross-legged on the bed. Take out a small jade bottle and take a quenching bone pill.
It didn't take long for his face to turn blue and white, and the clothes on his body were stirred up by an invisible air current.
After a long time, Shi Mu opened his eyes, and there was a hint of joy on his face.
His celestial skills have improved a little.
For more than a year, although he was ordered to fight abroad, and his life was turbulent, he did not relax in cultivation at all, and this kind of bloody battle stimulated his potential.
With the help of the power of the elixir, his Celestial Phenomena Skill had already been cultivated to the fourth layer. In one fell swoop, he entered the realm of a mid-day martial artist, and it was not far from the fifth layer.
The Yun Shen Technique also successfully entered the fourth layer a few months ago because of the Moon Swallowing Style.
However, since entering the fourth layer, the mana increased by the Crystalline Moon has immediately slowed down a lot. Spending more than a month cultivating the rice-sized grains condensed by the Moon Swallowing Style can increase mana by a small percentage at most, and there is no longer the feeling of rapid progress of multiplying mana once in the grain of the moon.
It's not surprising that the further you go, the more difficult it is to advance.
Shi Mu estimated that even if there was a moon-swallowing type of help. Cultivating the fifth layer of the Yun Divine Technique, I'm afraid it will take more than two years to do it.
Shi Mu sighed softly, then shook his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly.
As the old saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and it is extremely fast for one to be able to cultivate to the current realm in less than two years after entry.
The moon-swallowing style has helped him so much that it can be described as incredible, but he is still too slow here, and people's greed is really endless.
Shi Mu secretly introspected to himself, and his originally somewhat impetuous mood suddenly regained his calmness, and he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.
Everyone in the mine had worked hard all day, except for those who were keeping vigil outside, everyone else had basically rested.
Shi Mu pushed the door and walked out, slowed his steps, and soon walked out of the mine cave and appeared under the giant tree on the cliff at the entrance.
Outside, there was silence between the world and the earth, and a bright moon hung in the sky, which was exceptionally bright.
"Senior Brother Shi, are you going out again?" Behind a boulder near the giant tree, a night vigil disciple saw Shi Mu come out, poked his head out and whispered hello.
Shi Mu nodded to him and did not speak, then slowed his steps and walked quietly in the direction of the nearby woods.
On moonlit nights, he would come outside and stay overnight, and almost everyone in this stronghold knew about it.
Shi Mu explained that he was cultivating a secret technique, and the others didn't doubt it too much, after all, some exercises did require night to practice.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu came to a clearing in the woods, and then stopped, which was already several miles away from the stronghold.
Shi Mu probed around a little, but didn't find any unusual movements, so he felt a little at ease.
Although as a talisman master, few people in the stronghold were willing to risk offending him to snoop on his secrets, but just in case, he would change locations every time he came out to cultivate.
Next, Shi Mu took out four pale cyan talismans from his arms, arranged them around, and chanted a spell in his mouth, the four talismans lit up slightly, and then fell silent.
Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction.
These four talismans are not ordinary talismans, they are called four-way psychic talismans, and the combination of the four talismans can create a set of simple four-sided psychic formations, which can detect any movement within a radius of 100 zhang.
This was something he had spent more than 100,000 taels of silver plus a fire attribute spirit stone a few months ago in exchange for it from a Fenghuo Sect disciple.
With these four talismans, he could only feel at ease when he came out to practice the Moon Swallowing Style.
After arranging the formation, Shi Mu sat down cross-legged, assumed a moon-swallowing posture, and quickly entered the dream realm.
In the dream, the moon was like water, and the white ape incarnated by Shi Mu looked up at the moon, and countless moonlight essences fell into his eyes.
......
The night went by in a flash.
The sky was getting white, Shi Mu's body moved, and he woke up from the dream.
A bean-sized grain in his mind floated slightly, emitting a faint brilliance.
Since discovering that the Crystal-Shaped Moon did not increase his mana much, Shi Mu simply stopped Transforming the Moon and began to make the crystals in his mind grow larger by cultivating the Moon-Swallowing Style, wanting to see if anything would happen.
Shi Mu exhaled a long breath, stood up, and turned around and walked in the direction of the mine stronghold.
The surrounding sky gradually brightened, and the green gauze of mist wafting through the forest in the early morning was particularly beautiful.
Shi Mu silently jumped over a mound, and the sound of flowing water came, and a clear stream meandered through the lush greenery not far away.
His face was happy, and he happened to be a little thirsty after practicing all night, so he walked quickly to the stream and filled the water bag on his body with water, and was about to drink it, when a slight sound of water came from the front.
Shi Mu's face changed suddenly, he quickly put away the water bag, pressed the meteorite black knife on his waist, and slowly lurked over.
Slowly poking his head out from behind a bush, he finally saw the source of the sound.
Not far ahead, in a clear pool of water that communicates with the stream, the back of a slender girl is shrouded in the morning mist, and her long black hair is split behind her like a waterfall, spreading out in the water like a misty cloud, surrounding the girl.
The girl's white jade-like arms fluttered in the water, making a gurgling sound.
The droplets of water slide into the water along the rounded curve of their shoulders, and their skin is dazzling white against the background of the morning sun.
Shi Mu's breathing tightened, and his body suddenly froze in place.
The girl in the water turned slightly, faintly revealing the soft peaks on her chest, but at the same time, Shi Mu also saw the girl's appearance, but it was Ke'er.
Shi Mu's body shook, and he couldn't help but take a step back, stepping on a dead branch, and making a soft sound.
"Who!"
Ke'er's pretty face changed in the water, and with a wave of her jade hand, a cyan vine flew out of the water and rolled towards Shi Mufei.
Shi Mu's face changed, and he suddenly came back to his senses from his stiffness, and he turned over and jumped back.
With a "snap", the cyan vines fell where they had been standing, plowing a deep mark on the ground.
Shi Mu was secretly shocked in his heart, looking at this situation, this Ke'er has hidden a lot of strength on weekdays.
The cyan vine flicked on the ground, and like a spirit snake, it sprang up again, and continued to pounce.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and with a shake of his arm, he conjured up several knife shadows, wrapping the cyan vines.
The crimson flame flickered slightly, and the vines were cut into several pieces.
However, instead of dying, the severed vines gushed out black juice, and the severed vines grew rapidly, and the color had turned pitch black, exuding a faint fishy smell.
Shi Mu's face was shocked, the meteorite black knife was horizontal in front of him, and at the same time, his empty hand moved, and there was an extra fireball talisman in his hand.
"Hey, Senior Brother Shi, it's you ......"
Ke'er had come up from the water at some point, and her body was already dressed, but her long black hair had not yet had time to be tidied up, and it was wet and scattered behind her.
She saw clearly that it was Shi Mu, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
(The potted bamboo at home, after our horrific care for a winter, finally fell completely.) With great grief, Forget Yu sent the bones to the environmental protection vat downstairs, hoping that he would work hard in the next life and have the opportunity to return to the empty flower pot at home!) )
