Chapter 224: Heaven, Return, Preparation
One person and one demon cooperated with each other, successfully completed the blood fusion, and there was also a little more trust and goodwill between each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Although he was previously bound by the soul contract, Li Mu was still worried that Yan Wuyue would deceive him and use the secret technique he didn't know to trick him.
Now it seems that Yan Wuyue, this demon, is indeed a trustworthy person, although he has taken some risks, but for the sake of that trip to the other world, he should suffer some losses.
What's more, although this trip to Spirit Beast Mountain was full of ups and downs, frequent accidents, and he had experienced the thunder tribulation and the transformation of melting blood, he did not suffer any damage, but gained a lot.
The advanced barbarian demon is still secondary, and the improvement of the bloodline is the real thing to be happy about. Although it is only a small first-order progress, it is not the same as before.
Not to mention the increase in cultivation speed and the broader cultivation prospects, not to mention the various benefits of cultivating secret arts after the bloodline is improved, just that extra talent technique is a great gain.
Although he didn't have time to check what that talent technique was, he couldn't be worse than the talent technique born of the second-class bloodline.
Yan Wuyue successfully obtained the essence blood she wanted, and she was extremely happy in her heart. At the same time, Li Mu's various performances in the process of thunder tribulation and demon blood melting also made him very impressed, coupled with the Dragon Clan Holy Ancestor behind Li Mu, Li Mu's status in his heart also rose again and again.
At this time, Yan Wuyue no longer had any contempt for Li Mu in his heart - this big demon was extremely pragmatic, never had any arrogance, and everything was focused on cultivation. Since Li Mu had helped him in his cultivation, he would be able to face Li Mu squarely and say those words of encouragement.
In addition, the contract between him and Li Mu has not yet ended, and there is always an intersection between one person and one demon. Maybe in the near future, he will need Li Mu's help because of the bloodline.
So at this time, facing Li Mu, Yan Wuyue was even more kind, as if he regarded him as his extremely close junior-speaking of which, this big demon had been practicing alone for so long, and he hadn't even accepted any disciples to help him collect bloodlines, and there were probably some hidden stories in this.
With Jin Chong in front of him, he has experienced the things of the Mountain Demon and Beiquan Zhenzun, and he has not seen the Xuan Demon shoot with his own eyes, so he does not have much awe in his heart for such a high-level existence as the Xuan Demon.
When facing Yan Wuyue, he had no sense of restraint at all, neither humble nor arrogant, and behaved extremely naturally, which was also one of the reasons why Yan Wuyue looked up to him.
At this point, the cooperation between the two came to an end. After Li Mu proposed to leave, Yan Wuyue didn't force him to stay, but before sending him away, Yan Wuyue casually waved out a red light, hit Li Mu's chest, and entered the two storage bags he handed over to Li Mu before.
Li Mu knew that when Yan Wuyue gave him this thing before, it was estimated that he had added a ban. At this time, this red light flashed, and he really owned these two storage bags.
Li Mu bowed his hand to Yan Wuyue and didn't say anything. Yan Wuyue waved his hand and sent him out of the formation.
It was early in the morning, and in the spring, the mountains were full of greenery.
Li Mu took a deep breath of the clear qi between heaven and earth, and then immediately identified the direction and rushed towards the Xuanming faction.
His trip had taken several months, and he didn't think much time was left before that sect was at this time.
After the Terran monks build the foundation, after the demon monks advance to the barbarian demons, they can initially learn the imperial envoy flying magic weapon and master the art of qi control, and realize the desire to fly in the sky.
It is said that in the cultivation realm, only those who have built a foundation and become a barbarian demon can truly be called "immortals". Only those who can fly have the qualifications to say goodbye to the mundane completely.
Unlike the human race, which also has to learn a special qi control method, after the demon cultivators enter the barbarian demon realm, they can rely on the power of their physical bodies to gain the ability to fly.
The flying ability of the demon clan comes from its very powerful sensing power to the aura of heaven and earth. In other words, the higher the bloodline level demon cultivator, the easier it is to master the art of qi control flight - generally speaking, it is impossible for a demon cultivator of the sixth rank and below the bloodline to obtain the ability to fly as soon as he advances to the barbarian demon.
They had to go through a lot of practice and induction before they could slowly master this ability that many low-level cultivators could only dream of.
For demon cultivators of the fifth rank and above bloodlines, the acquisition of flying ability is very easy. Almost as soon as they entered the Brute Demon, they would naturally comprehend the ability to fly.
And more importantly, the higher the bloodline, the faster its initial flight speed will be. And with the improvement of cultivation, it can also be gradually improved.
Except for those demon cultivators who were originally birds, the speed of the high-level bloodline in the sky can be said to be completely able to leave the low-level ones behind, and there is almost no possibility of catching up.
There is such a big gap at the starting point, how can we catch up?
Back to Li Mu.
As a demon cultivator with second-class bloodline, Li Mu also naturally comprehended the mystery of flight. For him, this skill obtained out of thin air was even simpler than practicing qi and forging his body, it was like eating and drinking.
After Yan Wuyue sent him out, Li Mu found that the place where he stood was on the hill where he had been robbed before. In the clearing that was swept away by Yan Wuyue on this mountain, many young saplings and wild grasses were born.
Li Mu remembered Yan Wuyue's words that after he survived the tribulation, this Spirit Beast Mountain would not exist, and suddenly felt a little pity for these newborn plants and trees.
He shook his head, then tried to feel the aura in the air around him, and slowly and carefully floated.
It's like walking, but he doesn't even need to take a step. As long as you sense the aura that fills the heavens and the earth, you can control your body and move with the aura that flows all the time.
Li Mu felt a little wonderful in his heart, and an extremely happy feeling in his chest - what mortal didn't want to be high and travel for nine days?
In the past, as a scholar, when he was drunk, he also thought deeply and wandered, wanting to fly to the blue sky and escape from the cold failure and reality. Now that many years have passed, he has finally achieved this wish, and the complex feelings in his heart are really difficult to describe for a while.
Li Mu's body slowly rose, all the way up hundreds of zhang high in the air, he looked at the boundless vast woods below and the large and small rivers rushing through them, and he was speechless for a while.
He has not had such an experience before, but flying with his own strength and riding a spirit boat are completely different experiences.
With a gust of wind in his ears, Li Mu calmed down and controlled his body to fly forward.
He wasn't fast, but he walked very smoothly, not at all like a first-time man in the sky.
Although his heart was excited, he was able to restrain himself, and if he couldn't control himself from falling by forcibly accelerating, it would not be as simple as a joke.
......
Five days later, Li Mu successfully rushed to the vicinity of the Xuanming Sect.
He barely landed on the way, and he had been familiarizing himself with the tips and tricks of flying, much faster than he had been when he had first ascended to the sky five days earlier.
He was flying faster than he could run.
Li Mu chose to land in a valley not far from the Xuanming Sect and hurried back to the door on foot. He can already fly, and before he builds a foundation, he still has to keep it a secret.
Li Mu hurried back to the mountain gate in a very low-key manner, and returned to the talisman department without alarming anyone.
He didn't go back to his residence directly, but went to find Zheng Yunjie first, which was regarded as informing him of the news of his return.
Zheng Yunjie was making talismans in his house, Li Mu's arrival made him overjoyed, Li Mu looked at the changes between his eyebrows, and it seemed that his arrival made him faintly relieved.
As soon as he disappeared, it was a few months, and Zheng Yunjie really became worried again.
Li Mu already knew what he was like, but he still inevitably felt a little warmth in his heart.
The two sat down opposite each other in Zheng Yunjie's room, and Zheng Yunjie first asked, "Where did Senior Brother Li go on this trip, and why did he delay it for so long?"
Li Mu is naturally making up nonsense again, and his lying skills are becoming more and more proficient, and no one can find flaws in his language and demeanor. Zheng Yunjie has always trusted him very much, so naturally he will not suspect anything.
After chatting for a while, Li Mu asked, "Presumably the sect competition is about to start, I want to participate, but do you have any requirements?"
Zheng Yunjie shook his head and said with a smile: "There is still one month left." Senior Brother Li can go if he wants, and the sect is open to all the disciples of the mortal stage, and there are no requirements and restrictions. And if you are ranked in the former, you can also get some good rewards, and with the combat power of Senior Brother Li, it may be possible to compete for the top ten. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Yunjie's face turned grim, and he asked seriously: "Senior Brother Li wants to participate in this sect competition, is he ready to get the top ten and thus participate in the blood demon trial?"
Li Mu smiled calmly: "But I think so, I want to be in the top ten, and I will also go to the blood demon trial, senior brother doesn't have to persuade me." ”
Zheng Yunjie was silent for a moment, and then said: "Senior Brother Li, don't underestimate the demon cultivator just because Beiquan Mountain and his party have achieved some victories, the real killing duel is far from being comparable to the competition within that rule. The Blood Demon Trial was too dangerous, so why did Senior Brother Li take the risk. Could it be that with your rune talent, will you still lack that Tsukidan?"
"Zhuji Dan is secondary, the reason why I want to go to the blood demon trial is because I have the intention of learning some demon cultivation. Senior brother don't worry, I am measured, and I will never be arrogant and arrogant. ”
Li Mu's words revealed unquestionable determination, Zheng Yunjie sighed slightly, and it was not easy to persuade him.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Mu found a reason to leave and leave.
He did not return to his residence, but went out and turned to the transmission department.
The ability to fly is a powerful weapon that can greatly improve his combat ability. Although he can't use it openly, he can use something to cover it up, so as to maximize this advantage.
When he went to the Gong Department, he had to find a good way to hide his ability to fly.
The monk's spells are vast and all-encompassing, and there are many hidden in the Xuanming Sect, so he will naturally not be disappointed.
A few hours later, Li Mu found a spell body method called "Ling Yanbu", and after paying the cost of hundreds of spirit stones, he took it away with great satisfaction.
The grade of this spell is only the sixth grade intermediate level, but it can be used to confuse the eye, which is exactly what he wants.
In the next month, he will practice this body method well, and by the way, refine some spirit runes for the competition.
The Xuanming faction has become more and more peaceful in recent years, and the fighting between the major factions has eased a lot. Maybe some of the masters in the sect have already noticed the changes in the situation in the entire Xuanying Realm, and they are about to start integrating the sects.
The big competition of the sect is approaching, and everyone is working hard to cultivate, wanting to make a splash on this stage, gain the attention of the sect and the envy of their peers, as well as the worship of the people they like.
In such an environment, no one knew that Li Mu had disappeared for several months and returned to the sect, and a very small number of people who were looking for it were also blocked by Zheng Yunjie and did not let them disturb Li Mu.
Time flies, so a month passes, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the sect competition begins.
In this month, Li Mu not only mastered as much as eighty percent of that body method, but also refined nearly a hundred spirit runes. Among them, there are more than ten high-level spirit runes ranked within 1,000, and their power is extremely considerable, and they must be able to play a good role in the big competition.
In addition, after Li Mu entered the barbarian demon, he stopped turning and entered the cultivation of the demon.
The demonic cultivation of the barbarian demon realm is mainly accompanied by an increase in strength, and in just one month, he found that his strength has increased by nearly one percent, which shows the metamorphosis of his bloodline.
In the process, he took out the two storage bags given by Yan Wuyue early and checked the contents of them. It was found that in addition to a large number of spirit stones of various grades and attributes, there were also many spirit grasses and spirit ores that he did not recognize.
Even Li Mu found many magic weapons and jade cylinders used by monks, as well as hundreds of demon cultivator inner pills of not low grade - in fact, among the demon clan, the overall concept has always been very weak.
If it weren't for the necessity of uniting to fight against the human race, it would be impossible for the demon clans of many different tribes to work together at all. Therefore, for the demon cultivators of different sects and the same genus, other demon cultivators are also of different races, and there is no taboo to take their demon pills for use.
This is also the reason why Li Mu was able to buy the demon pill in the hands of the demon cultivator, and Yan Wuyue also had the demon pill in the remuneration given to him.
It is said that this demon realm and the big demon who has lived for more than 13,000 years made a move, which is really magnanimous. The contents of these two storage bags combined, the value of which was probably more than the entire net worth of a Yuanying monk, but he didn't even blink his eyes, and threw them to Li Mu without hesitation.
Most of the magic weapons in the storage bag are relatively damaged, and there are few complete ones, but they are also very valuable; those demon pills are even more radiant, among the three of the highest level, Li Muguang felt a burst of shock when he felt his breath, presumably the demon pill of the transformation demon cultivator.
However, when Li Mu was extremely excited and wanted to take out an extraordinary-looking magic weapon to watch, he found that a force suddenly appeared, mercilessly stopping what he wanted to do.
Li Mu moved his divine thoughts to another object, but the result was the same. He tried many times in succession, and finally found that he could only take out a small amount of spirit stones and low-level demon pills, as well as some unrecognizable spirit grass, and he couldn't take out anything else.
Li Mu was extremely depressed in his heart, just like a boiled duck placed in front of him, exuding an attractive fragrance, but he could only look at it, not eat it. He had them, but he didn't seem to be able to use them for the time being. 、
The red light that Yan Wuyue casually released when he was parting was actually to restrain him?
Thinking of Yan Wuyue's sincere expression, he couldn't give birth to much resentment—maybe Yan Wuyue did this to protect him, but also to remind him that cultivation could not be achieved overnight.
If he suddenly has so many things, and he becomes lazy and loses his energy, then the existence of these things is not a good thing.
Li Mu had a realization in his heart, but he still couldn't help but be a little unwilling - he had always loved money, and now there were so many good things in front of him, but he couldn't even touch them, and his heart was really uncomfortable.
But no matter how depressed it was, it was useless, after Li Mu scolded a few words at that time, he put away the storage bag, no longer thought about the things in it, and began to study spells and draw spirit runes with peace of mind.
......
A bell rang on Xuanxiao Peak, spreading throughout the entire mountain gate.
Up to the five-story golden dome and down to the first floor where the innate disciples lived, they could clearly hear the mighty bell. The bell rang twelve times, and then suddenly came after twelve strikes.
Immediately, a grand voice sounded, it was a man's low and majestic voice, this voice said: "All the disciples of the Jindan Period, Foundation Building Period, and Transformation Stage in the Gate immediately go to the square in front of Xuanxiao Pavilion to gather and prepare for the Great Sect Competition!"
Everyone heard this person's voice in their ears, and Li Mu was naturally no exception. His eyes narrowed, and he knew that the person who made the voice was probably one of the mysterious Yuanying monks of the Xuanming Sect, but he didn't know if he would show up later?
He was a little curious about what the Yuanying Cultivator of his own sect looked like and what kind of power he had.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, it was Zheng Yunjie who had arrived.
Li Muying went out and talked to him, and then the two of them rushed to Xuanxiao Pavilion together.
Many disciples along the way hurried away with serious expressions and did not say a word to each other. There were also many people who recognized the two of them and took the initiative to say hello.
Li Mu and Zheng Yunjie naturally didn't take any shelf, and most of them smiled.
Not long after this journey, everyone arrived at Xuanxiao Pavilion.
There were already a lot of people gathered here, purple, blue, and white robes were mixed, standing in order, extremely quiet, and no one turned their heads to each other.
Li Mu and Zheng Yunjie walked to the front of the disciples of the Transformation Stage and stood, and they also waited quietly.
In the process, Li Mu looked around and found that among the purple-robed Jindan real people, Lingtong and Lingxiao were impressively listed, and there was also an old man with half-white hair and a somewhat similar appearance to He Qiu, who was standing opposite another real person who looked older, obviously talking with his divine sense.
Beside them was an old man in black with his eyes closed and his eyebrows extremely long.
There were as many as fifteen Jindan real people present, most of whom were people that Li Mu had never seen, but there was no Lingmu among them, presumably he was still in retreat.
There were hundreds of disciples in the foundation building period wearing green clothes, and Li Mu almost didn't know any of them.
In comparison, there were even fewer disciples of the Transformation Stage, after all, except for the people of the various departments, the vast majority of the disciples of the Transformation Stage lived in the second layer of Xuanxiao Peak.
After an hour passed, most of the disciples of the Transformation Stage finally arrived one after another, and there were more than 2,000 people standing in the square, but there was no sense of chaos and noise.
At this moment, Li Mu seemed to feel something in the withering, and looked up at the sky.
