There was still more than a month before the Beiquan Mountain Demon King's Apprenticeship Ceremony, and Zheng Yunjie informed Li Mu of the news in advance, so that he could make some necessary preparations in advance.

As the youngest talisman master of the Xuanming Sect and the best qualified talisman master, Li Mu's time to learn the way of talisman was a little short after all, after Guo Zhuting recommended him, he was also worried that he would go to show his timidity, so he instructed Zheng Yunjie to come and tell him, asking him to master as much knowledge as possible about the way of talisman in this month's time.

Zheng Yunjie took out a jade cylinder and handed it to Li Mu, and said in a serious tone: "This is what the master asked me to give you, inside is some of his experience in learning talismans over the years, and there is also a detailed explanation of all the spirit talismans mastered by the master, you can keep it for a good time, check it carefully, and don't let down the master's kindness to you." ”

Li Mu solemnly put away the jade tube, Guo Zhuting did this, obviously wanted to tie him tightly to the talisman department, but he was also happy to be here, although this thing did not have much effect on him, but after all, it was the brainchild of a third-grade talisman master for many years, and it was still quite valuable to use it as a reference.

"Senior Brother will definitely live up to the expectations of Uncle Guo and Senior Brother Zheng, please thank Uncle Guo for me. ”

"No need to be polite, you can participate in the research, I'll go back first. A month later, the disciples of your own sect will come back and take you away, and you should make more preparations. ”

"Yes, senior brother, walk slowly. ”

Zheng Yunjie waved his hand, looked at him deeply, and then turned to leave.

Li Mu walked back to his hut and hung up a sign saying "retreat".

He let go of his divine sense and began to read Guo Zhuting's jade tube. As he expected, the content recorded in it was mostly some methods of calming down, avoiding and deceiving the Heavenly Dao consciousness to improve the success rate of drawing talismans, these methods were the crystallization of the experience of a three-grade talisman master for many years, and they might be worth a thousand gold to ordinary talismans, but they could not help him in the slightest.

However, some of the information about rune paper and rune pen recorded in it, as well as some special drawing methods, helped him a little, and it can be regarded as something for him to gain.

It's just that he has no time to look for the precious rune paper and rune pen recorded in it, so he can only put it aside for the time being.

Li Mu put away the jade tube, took out the talisman pen, and began to draw the spirit talisman seriously.

He had to accumulate enough spirit stones and supplies in this month's time to be used in a month's time.

And during this time, you can also go to the refining department to buy one or several magic weapons. It stands to reason that there should not be any danger when going to Beiquan Mountain, but he feels that with his own circumstances, something special will always happen, so it is still very necessary to prepare a weapon and some life-saving things.

Because of the appearance of a fourth-class demon clan, the entire Xuanying world has become an undercurrent, and all forces are eager to try, wanting to go to Beiquan Mountain to see where this fourth-class demon clan is sacred.

And in the Xuanming Sect, this news also quickly spread to the ears of almost everyone with amazing news. At the same time, the news that the sect selected elites and geniuses to go to Beiquan Mountain to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony also spread again.

Just ten days after the news of this incident came out, Xuanming sent an envoy to Beiquan Mountain to determine the candidate, which once again caused quite a stir.

The mission this time was a total of thirty people, led by two Jindan real people, twenty foundation building disciples as the main composition, and eight genius disciples of the mortal period accompanied by them. Among these eight disciples of the mortal stage, Li Mu's name is impressively listed.

Li Mu's reputation in the Xuanming Sect's mortal and innate period was once again greatly enhanced. It's just that by now, no one dared to question his strength and talent, after all, the selection of the mission was decided by the entire Council of Elders.

And Li Mu himself, who is talked about by everyone, is still in endless retreat, and there is no sign of leaving the customs.

......

On the twentieth day, Li Mu's door moved lightly and was pushed open by him from the inside.

The magic clothes of the Xuanming Sect have their own dust removal array, so after so many days of retreat, the clothes on Li Mu's body are still as clean as new, and they don't look embarrassed and dirty at all.

He squinted his eyes, took a deep breath of the outside air, and then pointed out the direction and walked towards the place where the refining department was.

He had been drawing spirit runes for twenty consecutive days, and at this moment, he had accumulated hundreds of various spirit runes in his storage bag, among which the existence of upper-level spirit runes accounted for as much as forty percent.

The spirit rune represents the rolling spirit stone.

And the spirit stone itself also represents other cultivation resources.

Li Mu's talisman department was a branch belonging to the refining department, so he didn't need to spend much time and quickly walked to the refining department.

The talisman department is similar to the alchemy department, and the demand for flames is very large, so in the center of the refining department, there is also a giant tripod shaped like the alchemy department, which is divided into many areas and contains hundreds of precious flames.

The refining department is the largest and most prosperous place in the Xuanming faction, the entire eastern part of the third layer of Xuanxiao Peak is all the territory of the refining department, and there are hundreds of pavilions and houses of all kinds distributed among the vast mountains, walking on the road between the houses of the refining department, the sound of striking iron is endless, and the smell of flames and smoke spreads wantonly in the air.

It's just that on these wide bluestone slabs, Li Mu hardly met a single person, all of them were hidden in one house after another, or refining or auxiliary refining, and basically there would be no idle disciples walking around at will.

If you insist on saying that there is, Li Mu is such a disciple.

Speaking of which, he has been joining the Fu Department for more than two months, but he really knows very little about the master of the Fu Department and the refining department. This was also the first time he had officially set foot in the realm of the Refining Department. So the first problem Li Mu faced was that he couldn't find the destination he wanted to go, and there was no one for him to ask for directions.

God knows why such a huge refining department doesn't even have a disciple to guard the door!

Li Mu walked inward, almost aimlessly, retreating for more than twenty days, drawing hundreds of spirit runes, for his spirit, it was also a big test, at this time, listening to the strange sound of all kinds of iron in the refining department, he unexpectedly felt a little relaxed, which could relieve his nervous tension.

After wandering around for a long time, Li Mu finally saw someone walking in front of him, this was the first person he met after entering the realm of the Refining Department.

When the man saw Li Mu and saw the talisman mark embroidered on his clothes, a little smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to greet Li Mu: "This is Senior Brother Li of the Fu Sect? ”

This person was dressed in white, and there was a small sword-like mark embroidered on his chest, but the silk thread used for his mark was ordinary cyan, which represented the person's identity as an apprentice refiner.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Liu Guang, and Li Mu was polite under him", Li Mu casually politely said, "I don't know if Senior Brother Liu is free, can you show me the way a little?"

This Liu Guang looks ordinary, and his qualifications seem to be only average, otherwise he would not be in his thirties, and he is still an apprentice of a talisman master, so he naturally wants to make friends with a promising talisman like Li Mu. 、

Liu Guang said with a smile: "I'm so happy, where is Senior Brother Li going, just tell me, I'll take you directly." ”

"Then please ask Senior Brother Liu to wait for me to go to the place where your department sells magic weapons. ”

"It turns out that Senior Brother Li has the strength to buy magic weapons, please come here. Liu Guang bent down and made a gesture of please, his posture was very low, and after Li Mu nodded to him, he led the way in front.

There are hundreds of mansions in the refining department, and the size and shape of each building are almost identical, which is also the main reason why Li Mu can't tell where the magic weapons are sold from the appearance.

But Liu Guang, as an "old disciple" who has been in the refining department for decades, really knows the environment here. He walked in front, turned left and right, walked through the alley, and brought Li Mu to his destination in a short time.

"Dharma Pavilion", a name without the slightest fancy, inlaid on a swarthy iron door, these three words are written neatly in regular script, so that after people read it, their hearts involuntarily give birth to ...... To be honest, Li Mu looked at these few big characters without any elegance, and he couldn't feel any emotions in his heart.

There was no one guarding the door, the door was closed, and no one seemed to be inside.

Liu Guang stepped forward and gently pushed open the thick iron door, revealing a gap more than one person wide, he bent down again, made a "please" posture and said: "Senior Brother Li, please come in, this is the place where my department sells magic weapons, after you enter it, since someone comes back to receive you, it is inconvenient for me to enter." ”

Li Mu nodded and smiled politely at him: "Thank you Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother will take the first step." ”

"Helping each other with the same door is the proper meaning of the question, Senior Brother Li doesn't have to see outside, please come in, please come in. ”

Li Mu didn't say anything more, and stepped into the iron gate with his feet.

Liu Guang closed the iron door from the outside, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Li Mu had a ridiculous feeling of "closing the door and beating the dog" in his heart, and then thinking of Liu Guang's posture, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Li Mu raised his head and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Inside this iron door, there is a long entrance, and at the end of the entrance, a huge screen several zhang wide and more than one zhang high blocks his vision, so that he cannot see the scene inside.

On the screen, there are very simple and freehand ink peaks, the whole mountain peak is only black and white, black is the mountain, white is the cloud, as for whether there are immortals on the mountain, it is necessary to observe the person to guess for himself.

After stopping and watching for a while, Li Mu took a step, stepped on the entrance paved with bluestone slabs, and walked towards the screen.

The strange thing is that after entering this thick iron gate, the noisy sounds outside the door disappeared, and at this time, Li Mu's unhurried footsteps suddenly became clear.

It's like his heartbeat. (To be continued.) )
