Night.

Li Mu took out the bedside package and opened it on the table. I saw that among them, twenty spirit stones of different colors were still lying quietly. Under the reflection of the candlelight, it emits a faint shimmer.

A solemn look appeared on his face, and he cautiously took out a blue water attribute spirit stone from it and held it in his hand.

Li Mu closed his eyes, activated his mental method, and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

Under the urging of Li Mu's true qi, the light emitted by the spirit stone in his hand gradually became stronger, and the faint blue light reflected the room as blue as water. The beautiful light was crystal clear and mysterious.

At some point, the flame of the candle flickered and then went out.

Li Mu concentrated his concentration and tried his best to feel the water attribute aura that had coalesced into a mist in the spirit stone.

The water-attribute aura in the spirit stone overflowed one after another under the traction of his true qi, and a blue halo came out, and Li Mu could feel the heavy dampness in the air.

Due to the mixed attributes of the spirit root, Li Mu could not completely absorb the spiritual energy overflowing from the spirit stone. And because his realm is too low and his true qi is too weak, the aura he can absorb is only about thirty percent of the total amount of aura that overflows, and the rest can only be dispersed.

Time passed slowly, and the moon climbed into the sky.

Through the open window, the moonlight gradually moved down, illuminating Li Mu's serious expression and beads of sweat on his face, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and he was trying his best to sense and absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

Soon, the light of the moon moved to Li Mu's chest. The moment the moonlight hit his left chest, a sudden change occurred!

The bright moonlight seemed to carry some incredible power, and the clothes on his chest instantly melted away, revealing his **** left chest and the Fu Shouzhu mark in the middle of his heart. The sigil glowed intensely in the moonlight. There was a faint aura of longing and greed in that light, and it seemed to be about to burst out at any moment.

Li Mu felt the burning sensation in his chest, he opened his eyes, looked down, and a stunned look appeared on his face.

This bead has not moved since a golden dragon suddenly ran out of the illusion last time. In the past month, I have also tried various methods to stimulate it, but whether it is the method of "dripping blood to recognize the master" recorded in the sect classics, or other techniques of the side door, it cannot have the slightest impact on this bead, as if it has been completely integrated into Li Mu's body and has really become an ordinary birthmark.

Could it be that the change in this pearl tonight is because the moonlight does not come to fruition? Li Mu thought so in his heart. But after a little thought, he dismissed this view.

Because although he has abandoned literature and entered the Tao and has not stopped practicing, his solitude every day and night still makes him feel some unspeakable loneliness. The bookseller is angry, and he often thinks about people and homesickness. Therefore, every night when he meditated, he would open the window to let the moonlight shine in, and he would get a glimpse of his longing. And it's the height of summer, and there's a moon almost every night. Therefore, if this pearl anomaly is caused by the moonlight, there is no need to wait until tonight. To say the least, moonlight is not the only factor that triggers the mutation of Fu Shouzhu.

Then there was only one reasonable explanation, and he looked at the water attribute spirit stone in his hand. This spirit stone emitted a faint fluorescence in his hand, and it was still continuously exuding spiritual energy.

Li Mu groaned slightly, and his face showed hesitation. But then he gritted his teeth and pressed the spirit stone to his chest.

Due to the overflow of spiritual energy, the spirit stone of the water attribute was emitting a faint blue light with the whole body at this time, and there was a burst of coolness surrounding its body.

The burning intent in Li Mu's chest became stronger and stronger. After the spirit stone was marked with the seal of Fu Shou Zhu, almost instantaneously, it turned into a ball of powder, and disappeared into Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu only felt a slight chill in his chest, and then a powerful and pure aura poured into the meridians of his whole body. Washed by this aura, it almost made him unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, although this aura was extremely violent when it first entered his body, it was more than enough to completely absorb it in his expanded meridians. Therefore, after the initial discomfort, the restlessness in his body slowly calmed down.

Li Mu could clearly perceive the vastness and purity of the aura that suddenly rushed into his body. Judging from the total amount alone, it is not only dozens of times the bit of true qi that he has cultivated through hard meditation! Not to mention the degree of purity, which is many times better than the several spiritual qi that he has indiscriminately absorbed and forcibly blended!

And all this is thanks to the mysterious "Fortune Pearl" on the chest.

Li Mu lowered his head and carefully observed the Fushou Zhu mark on his left chest, only to see that this mark was no longer as clear and colorless as before, but showed a slight blue. And in the center of it, a small, imperceptible droplet appeared.

The burning sensation on his chest had slowly dissipated, and the faint light emitted by the Fu Shou Zhu had dimmed, and the candle that had been lit earlier had long since been extinguished. Only the spirit stones of different colors on the table also emitted a shimmer of red or green, blue or blue, giving a little warmth to the dark room reflected by the cold moonlight.

Li Mu had the heart to take another spirit stone for Fu Shouzhu to absorb for him, but the reason of years of study told him that if you are greedy, you will lose, and your heart is insufficient. Therefore, he forcibly endured the desire in his heart, and after packing up all the spirit stones on the table, he sat down facing the wall and began to refine the spiritual energy full in his body.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Li Mu opened his eyes.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he felt refreshed and full of energy, far more than usual.

After his continuous refining last night, the aura that entered his body had basically been transformed into true qi that he could invoke. Therefore, he only felt that the energy in his body at this moment was vigorous, and the clarity of his five senses was unprecedentedly powerful.

He suddenly received the huge benefits of the Fushou Zhu, but he felt that the name "Fushou Zhu" was no longer worthy of this mysterious bead, so he looked down at the mark on his chest that was still naked, and muttered in a low voice: "Since you can absorb the aura, I will call you the Yuan Lingzhu in the future." ”

In addition, although the effect of the Yuan Spirit Bead was extremely powerful, since he didn't know what hidden dangers existed, Li Mu didn't dare to use it too often to transform the aura.

In the next few days, Li Mu still absorbed the aura of the outside world through meditation and breathing during the day, but the results were still as usual, extremely weak. At night, every other day, on the moonlit night, he took a spirit stone and let the Yuan Spirit Bead absorb it and feed back to his body.

After several times like this, Li Mu felt the power of the Yuan Spirit Bead more personally, and the spirit stones of all attributes were all received correctly, but they did not show any disadvantages.

Li Mu's initial uneasiness slowly faded away, and he used the Yuan Spirit Bead to absorb the aura every full moon night.

In this way, it was another month, and the Yuan Spirit Bead mark on Li Mu's chest was still not abnormal, except for the color becoming mottled and many tiny patterns of different shapes on it.

But Li Mu encountered a huge problem: his spirit stones were about to run out.

It turned out that as one of the official disciples, he had the right to receive twenty spirit stones every month. He has been in the house for more than two months now, and he has only received a total of forty spirit stones twice, and under the continuous use and consumption of more than thirty days, there are only a few spirit stones left in all his spirit stones. If he didn't find a way to obtain the spirit stone, his cultivation would have to stop temporarily.

In the sect, there are many ways to obtain spirit stones. As long as you can make a certain contribution to the sect, the sect will give contribution points according to the size of the contribution, and the contribution points can be directly exchanged for spirit stones.

Therefore, Li Mu put the idea on obtaining contribution points, and if you want to complete the task of obtaining contribution points, if you don't have a certain strength, everything is just empty talk.

Li Mu's plan today was to go to the third layer of Xuanxiao Peak's Gong Transmission Department to select a few suitable innate exercises to study and practice.

He had already memorized the location of the important places that Xuanxiao Peak was open to his disciples from the relevant classics of the sect, so he had already written down the route to the Gong Transmission Department.

For more than two months, Li Mu has been swallowing one Dan every day because of the Bigu Dan distributed by the sect, and he can do without food. Moreover, as a newcomer, he didn't have any familiar friends in the sect, so he just buried himself in practice every day, and he never went out of the hut.

This time I went to the third layer, and along the way, I also met some Xuanming Sect disciples, some of them were dressed in black as ordinary disciples like him, and some were innate disciples in gray clothes, but most of them passed by in a hurry and didn't look at him much.

Li Mu also expected this situation. The cultivation atmosphere of the Xuanming School is not inferior to the other four major sects. Needless to say, the competition in the cultivation of low-end disciples is fierce. Most of these disciples have their own affairs to do, so naturally they will not take the initiative to talk to an unfamiliar face like him and waste their time.

Li Mu walked to the entrance of the third layer of Xuanxiao Peak, but found that there were two disciples standing on both sides of the unguarded porch when he went down the mountain that day, as if they were checking something to the people passing by.

When it was his turn, he learned that the first of the second and even the first floor had to be clear about their intentions in order to enter the third floor, and it was stipulated that they should go down the mountain after a certain period of time, and they should not stay for a long time.

After Li Mu explained his intention to the disciples on duty, one of the two disciples saw that he was a newcomer, so he said to him expressionlessly: "After you are limited to five hours, you must return, otherwise the door rules will be dealt with, do you understand?"

After Li Mu nodded yes, the disciple next to him pasted a small red talisman paper on Li Mu's clothes and said to him: "This talisman will burn on its own in five hours, if you don't return to the second layer by then, the law enforcement disciple will let you leave." Don't try to tear it off, if you tear it off without permission, we will find out as soon as possible and punish you severely. You can go now. ”
