Chapter 214: Inquiry, Retreat, Three Years
In the quiet room, the three of them sat opposite each other, and Chu Yuting raised her hands lightly, savoring the spiritual tea she had brewed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After listening to He Qiu's words, Li Mu's eyes lit up when he looked up and saw the coral tree at the innermost end of the house full of fire.
He opened his mouth and spit out the small purple sun demon fire stored in the second dantian.
The purple yang demon fire wrapped in layers of Li Mu's Yuan Force looked very bleak, and it looked like it could be extinguished at any time. Seeing Li Mu spit out this fire, a little surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where did Senior Nephew Li get this demon fire?"
Li Mu's face did not change, and he lied casually: "Last time in that Quanzhou City, the disciple and a female disciple of the Falling Moon Palace repelled an evil cultivator together, and this strange fire came from the hands of that evil cultivator. ”
"Evil cultivator?" He Qiu rolled his eyes, but did not continue to ask, but said, "Can Senior Nephew Li know the name of this fire?"
"When the evil cultivator left, he said the name of this fire, and said that he would find me to get it back in the future, and this fire seems to be called Ziyang Demon Fire. The disciple has shallow knowledge, but he does not know whether what this person says is true or false. ”
He Qiu nodded, and asked again, "At that time, Senior Nephew Li didn't seem to have turned into a mortal, right?
"That person is an outcast of the Seven Swords Sect, and most of his cultivation has been abolished. Before that, he seemed to have the cultivation of the foundation building period, and the disciple also relied on a little physical strength to barely escape the catastrophe and not be killed by his flying sword. ”
The look on He Qiu's face loosened a little, and then he smiled: "Senior nephew Li is really a blessed person, this fire is the soul fire formed by the condensation of the demon element and the divine soul in the body after the death of some kind of fire power demon, if Senior Nephew Li subdues it, in this mortal period, I am afraid that few people can resist the power of this fire." And as your cultivation increases, the power of this fire will also increase. ”
"When you reach the Jindan stage of cultivation, you may be able to use this fire as a Dan fire to improve the quality of your Jindan. In short, this fire is very precious, and Master and Nephew Li should keep it well—can Master and Nephew Li know how to subdue the strange fire?"
"Force Demon Soul Fire. Li Mu's face changed, no wonder when Ma Chuyuan sacrificed this fire, his body's defense was useless at all, it turned out that the origin of this fire was so big. I don't know where Ma Chuyuan got the opportunity to subdue such a strange fire?
As for what He Qiu said about using this fire as a fire to improve the quality of the golden pill, it was still very far away for him now, but he didn't think too much about it - and since this fire was the soul fire of the power demon, if he rashly subdued it and linked his divine soul with this fire, it was very likely to destroy the purity of his bloodline, and it would be a bit more than worth the loss.
Since he took out this strange fire, what he saved was the intention of giving it to He Qiu. Moreover, He Qiuyi said that this fire was the power demon soul fire, and he strengthened his inner thoughts.
Li Mu smiled faintly: "Not to mention the day when I didn't practice to the Jindan stage, this fire would not be of much use to me. I have been practicing in this sect, and there will be no life and death fights with people, so although the power of this fire is strong, it does not mean anything to me. ”
"Since Uncle He said that this fire is the fire of the power demon, then it must also have a certain value for you? ”
He Qiu had actually already seen through his thoughts, but this time he rarely did not refuse, but asked half-jokingly and half-questioning: "What do you mean by being so attentive to me?
He Qiu was originally joking, but Li Mu was moved in his heart - he went to Beiquan Mountain this time, and he also obtained a lot of spiritual grass and spiritual objects, but because of his own vision, he couldn't tell it. If you go to understand the art of alchemy, you can just broaden your horizons and learn how to distinguish between spiritual grass and spiritual objects.
Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled and said, "Uncle Shi said this, I was a little moved, but my personal energy is limited, and I really can't be distracted to study the art of alchemy." But I do have something I want to ask Uncle He—if I want to learn the art of distinguishing spiritual grass and spiritual objects, how do I start?"
He Qiu turned the teacup on the stone table, and after hearing Li Mu's question, he smiled and said: "In fact, distinguishing the spirit grass and spiritual objects is the way to enter the alchemy technique, if you want to learn it, it is simple, I will give you a copy of the spirit grass and spirit object information collected by this sect." ”
Speaking of this, He Qiu paused slightly, and then said: "Actually, the information distributed by my alchemy department to those Dan master apprentices, the spirit grass and spiritual objects on it are relatively limited, and most of them are some things needed for mortal stage pills. Since Master Li and nephew have something to ask for, I naturally want to give you a more complete and rich information. ”
He reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a jade cylinder the thickness of an adult's arm, and handed it to Li Mudao: "The information such as spirit grass, spirit objects, and even spirit beasts recorded in this jade tube is one of the most complete copies of my sect, and Master Li's nephew will put it away." ”
Li Mu's eyes lit up, and he took the jade cylinder from He Qiu's hand and thanked him casually.
He Qiu held the small demon fire in his hand, and laughed heartily: "Take a piece of information that is not worth a few spirit stones, and exchange it for this demon fire that has a lot of effect, or I will make a lot of money." Master Li and nephew don't regret it, where is the use of thanks?"
Li Mu smiled faintly, the pros and cons of anything are relative. For him, the value of this purple yang demon fire is really not comparable to this information that ordinary disciples can't get at all—and even if he is asked to give this demon fire to He Qiu, he is willing, where will he regret it?
At this point, all of Li Mu's goals had been achieved, and he was relieved to learn that the competition would not actually have much impact on He Qiu.
Li Mu stood up and said to He Qiu: "This trip is a bit rushed, since Senior Uncle He is okay here, the disciple will leave first-I wish Senior Uncle He a great defeat of Na Mo Yun in three days, and Dan Dao will go further." ”
He Qiu knew that he rushed to see him as soon as he heard the news, and his heart was also warm, he waved his hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter to me whether you win or lose, you can go and take a good rest." Moreover, if you suddenly improve your cultivation realm, you must calm down, sort out the Yuan Force in your body, and reorganize your state of mind. Three days later, you won't be using my competition. ”
Li Mu said yes, and after bowing his hand slightly to Chu Yuting next to him, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Chu Yuting was still drinking her tea, and there seemed to be a lot of spiritual tea in the small teapot that had not been drunk. When Li Mu said goodbye, she smiled at Li Mu and tried her best to be gentle.
Without saying anything all the way, Li Mu hurried back to the Fu Gong Department, and immediately entered his house, and after hanging a sign of retreat outside, he was ready to start concentrating on cultivation again.
......
The first thing Li Mu did in retreat was to release the power of his divine consciousness and carefully check the information in that jade tube.
This jade cylinder was copied by He Qiu's father from the hands of the predecessors of the sect, and the richness of the spiritual grass and spiritual objects recorded in it really amazed Li Mu. Moreover, the production method of this jade cylinder is very complicated, and the more important spiritual grass and spiritual objects recorded in it all have the existence of images, which makes it clear at a glance and can be remembered very easily.
Relying on the power of his powerful divine sense, Li Mu stayed awake and concentrated on reading the information in the jade tube.
In the blink of an eye, it was ten days.
In these ten days, Li Mu only rested for two hours a day, and the rest of the time was used to find the information of the spiritual objects recorded in the jade cylinder, but unfortunately ten days later, he still did not find what he wanted.
Inside his storage bag, the three strange spirit objects from the North Springs Demon Venerable still didn't show any characteristics. Ren Li Mu tried his best, but he couldn't find clues about them from such a complete information.
Shaking his head a little helplessly, Li Mu put away the jade tube, pushed open the door and walked towards the Gong Transmission Department - now that his cultivation has reached the middle stage of his transformation, he can try to practice some simple spells and relatively powerful spells.
In any case, since he has the advantage of two dantians, he can't waste the way of spells.
......
Another ten days passed, and a request came from the Mission Pavilion asking Li Mu to go to the 100,000 Mountains to hunt the One Yuan Demon in order to offset the mission he failed last time. Only this time, the tone of the people from the mission pavilion was not as strict as last time.
Li Mu didn't want to disrupt his cultivation plan, so he asked Zheng Yunjie to help him find someone to do it.
In the past three months, Li Mu's spell cultivation has achieved a little, although his spiritual root qualification is poor, but his talent and understanding are far better than ordinary monks, coupled with a lot of practice, it only took three months to barely master an attack class six-rank upper level spell.
In the process, his cultivation realm has also been completely stabilized, and if he goes further, it is estimated that it will not be long before he can break through to the middle stage of mortal transformation.
This is the perverted cultivation speed brought to him by the Nine Heavens Qi Cultivator Shangyuan Spirit Bead, but comparatively, he doesn't have much time.
If he continued to cultivate at this rate, he estimated that in another three years or so, his cultivation would reach the peak of the mortal realm. If he couldn't find the news of the Nine Heavens Qi Cultivation Technique on his trip to the secret realm ten years later, I am afraid that his human race cultivation would really have to stay in the mortal transformation period forever - unless he forcibly dispersed his skills and re-cultivated.
And in these months, Li Mu would swallow a demon pill every few days, use his two demon pills to absorb the essence in it, and slowly grow his demon pill.
Among the demon clan, there is also this method of strengthening one's strength by devouring the demon pill. This is still the case in the same kind, and the master who created the practice of demon transformation naturally has no scruples, and this method is also recorded.
The more demon pills devoured and the higher the quality of the demon pills, the more powerful the demon pills in the body of the monks who practice this technique will be, and their strength will gradually increase.
Such methods are mostly accompanied by bloody things, but after Li Mu received dozens of demon pills in one go, he didn't have to worry about it in a short period of time.
Study spells, devour demon pills, convert Yuan Li, and observe the drawing of spirit runes...... Li Mu's daily life is like this, the same, but he does not feel irritable and bored at all.
The path of cultivation is vast and long, and every strong monk is a person with great opportunity and perseverance. If you don't have a strong sense of self-control, how can you endure the loneliness of months, years, or even hundreds of years in the process of cultivation?
Li Mu does not lack perseverance, and in the process of cultivation, every increase in strength actually gives the monk a certain sense of pleasure. The greater the improvement of cultivation, the stronger this feeling becomes.
Perhaps in many cases, this feeling is also one of the important motivations that motivates the monks to move forward.
The cultivation wind in the Xuanming Sect is also very strong, in the midst of these 100,000 mountains, surrounded by wild places, there are not many disciples who can go out to have fun wantonly.
There are also many monks like Li Mu who have been in retreat, and Zheng Yunjie also knows Li Mu's thoughts, so not only does he feel strange, but also helps him block many visitors.
In the past few months, Li Mu's performance in Beiquan Mountain has gradually spread through the mouths of several disciples of the Mortal Stage in his peers. In the Xuanming faction, the word Li Mu once again became the focus of everyone's conversation.
And unlike in the past, this time Li Mu fought on behalf of the Xuanming Sect and defeated so many disciples of other sects, including even two Sword Sect cultivators, his strength was so strong, while everyone was impressed in their hearts, many people also had doubts.
You must know that Li Mu is also talked about by people, as well as his inferior and mediocre three-attribute spiritual root. When will a three-attribute spiritual root monk be able to cultivate to the middle stage of transformation in more than a year, and still be able to defeat the opponent of the late stage of transformation?
Li Mu's sixfold cultivation of refining the body also spread along with these news, which deepened the doubts in everyone's hearts - the speed of qi cultivation is so fast, and the cultivation of the body is even more amazing, what kind of opportunity does Li Mu have to be able to achieve such attainments in one year?
Rumors spread among the thousands of disciples of the Xuanming Sect, and even many of the foundation building stage monks seemed to be very interested in Li Mu. Most of those who came to visit him were tempting and wanted to get some news from Li Mu.
However, another month passed, and none of these visitors could see Li Mu. Among them, there are even more than a dozen monks in the early stage of foundation building.
With Guo Zhuting on top, Zheng Yunjie was not afraid of those foundation building period monks at all, and rejected their idea of wanting to see Li Mu in a tough tone.
And Li Mu, who had been in retreat, didn't even know that his reputation had spread throughout the entire Xuanming School, and under the propaganda of those disciples who came to visit him but were rejected, he simply became a disrespectful, arrogant, arrogant and conceited fanatic at the slightest opportunity.
Coupled with the help of some well-intentioned people, more than half of the disciples of the Transformation Period and dozens of disciples of the Foundation Building Period had a very bad impression of Li Mu, although Li Mu himself did not say a word, nor did he do anything that harmed the interests of these people, but at this time, he was already pointed out by thousands of people, and everyone was wrong.
Moreover, the Dan Dao battle a few months ago ended with He Qiu's defeat and Mo Yun's victory, and the disciples who supported the Mo family in the Alchemy Department were full of momentum.
At that time, Li Mu, who was introduced by He Qiu, had just spread his reputation, and the Mo family was suppressing the He family, and by the way, they also joined the army of slandering Li Mu's reputation.
was on the cusp of the storm, but Li Mu didn't know anything about these things. However, Zheng Yunjie saw that he had been in retreat for several months, thinking that his cultivation had reached a critical moment, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he ordered the people of the Fu Gong Department to hide all this news.
Even outside Li Mu's residence at this time, Zheng Yunjie also asked for some powerful sealing spirit talismans from Guo Zhuting, which isolated his entire house and prevented anyone from disturbing him.
In this way, Li Mu's reputation first flourished against the brilliant achievements of Beiquan Mountain, and then caused many suspicions with the slander of the Mo family, Ma Chuyuan, Xue Chucai and others, and then took a sharp turn due to Zheng Yunjie's tough approach and Li Mu's attitude of not responding at all.
In the past three years, Li Mu has been locking himself in the house. With the passage of time, those who tried their best to slander him before seemed to be slowly getting tired of it, and few people in the Xuanming Sect mentioned his name.
However, in such silence, there is a bigger storm brewing, and when Li Mu leaves the customs, it will inevitably provoke a new round of questions.
Three years is not long to say, and even less short. What will Li Mu, who has been practicing for three years, look like when he leaves the customs? )
