Chapter 218: Sword Heart, Achievement, Ambition
It's dawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the Fu Gong Department, outside the Fu Master Hall, Liu Xianyuan looked at Li Mu who was concentrating on drawing talismans with his head down in front of the table in the middle of the crowd from a distance.
He had a wonderful sense of trance in his heart, four years ago, when he stood under the stage, and when he saw Li Mu for the first time, he seemed to have used a lot of spirit runes to defeat or even kill his enemies.
It's just that four years ago, the spirit runes used by Li Mu were all low-level, and their power was very average, and they could only threaten a cadre who was still in the innate stage at that time.
It just so happened that when he participated in the innate martial arts, he also failed in the hands of Xue Chucai, who also had a large number of spirit runes. In that joke-like final duel, Li Mu defeated Xue Chucai with an absolute spirit rune advantage. At that time, he was standing in the audience, somewhat disapproving.
He is a person who admires his own strength, and firmly believes that only by mastering the power in his own hands can he be truly reliable, but he hopes for things such as spirit runes and magic weapons.
But today, seeing Li Mu spend so much time drawing spirit runes, one by one flashing with various spiritual lights and different power and functions drawn out of his hands, Liu Xianyuan's heart suddenly rose an indescribable feeling.
He has only been practicing for more than ten years in this life, and in his early years, he had experienced the tragedy of destroying the door, and he no longer had any worries in his heart, and he only wanted to cultivate to a higher realm and pursue the ultimate power.
It just so happened that his major was kendo again, and he abandoned all flashy things, put aside all external things, and devoted himself to the study of kendo.
He had never seen a talisman master concentrate on drawing spirit runes so carefully before, and he had never had any thoughts about the profession of a talisman master, he simply looked down on cultivators who relied too much on spirit runes.
However, when he saw the state of Li Mu's dedication when he drew the spirit rune, and when he saw the shining light in Li Mu's eyes, he was gently touched somewhere in his heart.
What is the difference between the way of the sword and the way of the sword? Why do you have this idea of using the way of the sword to despise the other ways?
Because of Li Mu's performance, he began to re-examine himself and gradually revise some inappropriate thoughts in his heart.
In the past, he was too closed and too arrogant. These things covered his eyes, making it difficult for him to go any further when he practiced alone.
From yesterday to today, on this square, Liu Xianyuan, who watched the whole process of Li Mu drawing the spirit runes, after thinking about it for a day and a night, some thoughts in his heart were quietly changing.
And what such changes can bring to his future is unknown. But he believes that his road will definitely go farther and farther, and it will go more and more smoothly.
Guanjun painted a talisman, almost hearing about the new life.
Liu Xianyuan had a smile on his face, and with the change of mood, his impression of Li Mu changed greatly, and he was not as disdainful as before.
And now that he no longer pays attention to the state of Li Mu's paintings, and his heart is clear, Liu Xianyuan is a little surprised to notice that the aura fluctuations on Li Mu's body are very vague, and with his cultivation at the peak of mortality, he can't even see Li Mu's current cultivation realm.
Could it be that he has already built a foundation? Liu Xianyuan quickly denied this idea in his heart, but he faintly felt that Li Mu's current cultivation was even higher than him.
It is the same as the peak of transformation and the realm of cultivation, so what causes this gap should be the gap between the total amount of Yuan Force and the strength of Divine Consciousness brought about by the high level of the major exercises.
The major exercise he chose to practice was not the Xuanming Sect's Zhen Sect's Xuanming Qi Cultivation Technique, but a technique that was also a Xuanming Rank Lower Grade. What kind of exercises did Li Mu practice, and he was able to surpass the Xuan-level exercises he had cultivated in terms of Yuan Force and Divine Sense, Liu Xianyuan was suddenly very curious in his heart.
At this moment, Li Mu's right hand paused slightly, and finally stopped his action of drawing spirit runes.
With the injection of the last wisp of Yuan Force in his hand, under his hand, the high-level Houtu Meteorite Golden Rune with a ranking of seven hundred and seventy-one was finally completed, and a faint fluctuation of Yuan Force came out of it, which was sensed by everyone around him.
Li Mu exhaled softly, and now he finally felt a little tired.
Standing up and handing over the five spirit runes of Table Mountain to Guo Zhuting, Li Mu took a few steps back and waited for the final verdict with everyone.
In fact, there is no need for Guo Zhuting to announce it again, Li Mu and everyone present know in their hearts that he is already a veritable second-grade talisman master at this moment.
There are a total of forty spirit runes, eight of which rank below a thousand. Relying on the most ordinary talismans, draw for more than twelve hours in a row without the blessing of the talisman array, and complete the talisman assessment with a total success rate of more than eighty percent.
And the most important thing is that under the witness of everyone, among the forty spirit runes that Li Mu spent more than ten hours drawing, there were as many as twenty-seven upper-level spirit runes!
With such an achievement, no one of the second-grade rune masters present could match it, and no one could even reach the success rate of 30% of his drawing of the upper-level spirit rune in terms of efficiency!
Li Mu's performance was like that of a cadre of old talisman masters in the Fu Gong Department, who had seen what a real rune genius was. The eyes of the apprentices of the Talisman Master looked at Li Mu with admiration and jealousy, admiration and envy, but no one was speechless for a while.
All the talisman apprentices know that from today onwards, there will be one more perverted genius in the talisman department who will always be on their heads, and Li Mu will become their master to educate them. Li Mu's existence will also become a ruler, set high in front of them, and their master will hold the whip tightly and chase them to try to get close to this ruler.
After receiving the last five spirit runes drawn by Li Mu, Guo Zhuting was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about what kind of words to use to face Li Mu - his heart was very happy, Li Mu not only successfully completed the assessment under his strict requirements, but also completed it so beautifully.
But at the same time, Guo Zhuting also had deep worries in his heart. At this time, these gray-haired people sat under him. The old talismans were not geniuses when they were young, but they were often held back by arrogance, and they could only hover outside the threshold of the second-grade talisman master for the rest of their lives, and they could not get in.
In his heart, Li Mu's talent in the Fu Dao is really rare, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is once in the Xuanying Realm in ten thousand years. In the process of Li Mu drawing the spirit rune, he didn't seem to pay too much attention, but in fact, he had been using the power of his powerful divine sense to observe Li Mu's movements and demeanor more carefully.
After observing for more than a dozen hours, he discovered an astonishing fact - Li Mu's failed drawing runes seemed to be deliberately done by him, not a natural failure!
In other words, Li Mu's success rate in drawing spirit runes exceeded eighty percent, maybe ninety percent, ninety percent or even ninety percent!
If a young man with such a talent is not handled properly, he is very likely to follow the path of these old talismans and eventually become a mediocre talent who does nothing.
Although Guo Zhuting only cultivated during the foundation building period, as one of the members of the Twelve Elders' Council of the Xuanming Sect, he also held a part of the power of the Xuanming Sect. He has a very deep affection for the Xuanming faction, so he taught Zheng Yunjie, an apprentice who regards the sect as more important than his life.
Three thousand years ago, when the Xuanming Sect was first established, it was the real first sect in the Xuanying Realm. Patriarch Xuanming Zhenzun crisscrossed the Xuanying world and was invincible. However, with the disappearance of the Xuanming True Venerable, the situation of the Xuanming faction deteriorated day by day, until today, it has become the end of the five major factions.
Moreover, the factional division in the Xuanming faction is very serious, and there are two real people in the alchemy department, Ling Miao and Bai Poison, who are vying for power and profit, and the two departments of refining and transmission are also constantly disputed. Only the cultivation of the Demon Slaying Department is relatively pure, but it is somewhat above the top, although he is very polite to the disciples of other departments on weekdays, in fact, he has never taken the people of other departments in his eyes behind his back.
The Xuanming faction has fallen into such a situation, although there are reasons for the lack of high-end combat power in the sect, but the real root cause lies in the strong infighting atmosphere of the entire sect.
How can a sect with different hearts from top to bottom be powerful?
As the head of the Fu Gong Department and one of the members of the Twelve Elders of the Xuanming Sect, Guo Zhuting's own cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and in fact, there have always been many people who criticize him.
Even in the Council of the Twelve, he had the least right to speak, and he had very little in charge of it, and he could not play his due role at all.
In fact, there has always been a deep desire in the heart of this silent and gentle middle-aged man, that is, to change the fighting style of the Xuanming faction, to change this Xuanming faction, so that this sect can become strong and restore its former glory.
But due to the limitations of his qualifications, Guo Zhuting knew in his heart that he might not be able to fulfill this wish in his lifetime.
He was also discouraged and self-pitying for a while, but later the appearance of Zheng Yunjie brought him some hope, and he began to devote himself to handing over this disciple whose runic talent was comparable to his own, but his cultivation qualifications were much better than his own, hoping that he would one day be able to replace himself and realize the revival and rise of the Xuanming Sect.
If Zheng Yunjie's appearance brought him a glimmer of hope and a ray of light into his gloomy heart, then Li Mu's appearance was like a sunrise, completely illuminating his hidden ambitions and expectations.
Although it is rumored that Li Mu's cultivation qualifications are very ordinary, he doesn't believe it at all—if his cultivation qualifications are average, can he cultivate all the way from the innate stage to the peak of transformation in less than five years after entering the school? If his cultivation qualifications are average, how can he maintain such a fast cultivation speed while spending energy on learning the runic path?
Guo Zhuting subconsciously ignored the various speculations spread among the people who smeared Li Mu, such as Li Mu's practice of immortal level exercises, Li Mu has been taking pills to increase his Yuan Strength, and Li Mu has strange treasures on his body, etc.
He forced himself to believe that Li Mu's cultivation talent was as amazing as his rune talent, and as long as he continued to practice like this, he would definitely surpass himself and become the first fourth-grade rune master of the Xuanming Sect in more than a thousand years, or even a fifth-grade rune master! )
