Chapter 115: Hiding clumsily and revealing ingenuity, fooling through
"I see. Li Mu nodded abruptly, he had never heard of the spirit runes and the upper, middle and lower levels.
The blue-robed man couldn't help but say, "There are a total of twenty-five first-grade rune masters and four second-grade rune masters in my rune department, and among so many rune masters, there are no more than ten who can draw upper-level spirit runes. Moreover, most of these people will take about a month to draw an upper-level spirit rune. So you know how difficult and precious the upper-level runes are. ”
Contrary to the blue-robed man's expectations, Li Mu did not show any surprised expression, after he heard these words, his expression remained unchanged and asked, "May I ask the hall master, can the disciple continue to draw talismans?"
Everyone was still looking at the upper-level Xuanhuo talisman he had drawn, but there were also many people who paid attention to the conversation between Li Mu and the man in the green robe, and when they saw him so calm, they all felt that he was a little arrogant. Especially those old talismans who had never drawn a high-level spirit rune, they felt that Li Mu's attitude was slapping them in the face.
I've worked hard to learn talismans for decades, and until now I can't draw a high-level spirit rune, but you drew it the first time, shouldn't you be ecstatic?
It was because everyone's perception of him dropped sharply, but no one dared to say anything. Li Mu was able to draw an upper-level spirit rune. It represents that the talent of the rune path far exceeds their talent, and no one will offend a promising rune master because of a little thing.
The man in the green robe himself was a superhuman talisman, so he didn't mind Li Mu's attitude, but he felt that this young man was very calm and calm, and this kind of state of mind was originally something that every talisman should have. However, the Xuanming Sect's Fu Department has not produced a young talisman master for many years, so Li Mu's talent makes these people a little out of shape.
The blue-robed man walked back to the main seat and sat down, his expression had regained his calmness, and he said softly: "Put down that spirit talisman first, the assessment continues, calm down, don't make noise." ”
Li Mu was already sitting in place, and after lightly dipping the talisman pen in some dansha ink, he closed his eyes and prepared to draw the sigil of another spirit rune. Whether everyone is quiet or not, in fact, it has little impact on him, as long as his heart can be focused, how can he be afraid of the interference of external objects?
The spirit rune that Li Mu was going to draw this time was the water dragon rune. The name of this talisman sounds domineering, but in fact, it is not as powerful as the Xuanhuo talisman, and it is one of the last few spirit talismans among the three thousand small talismans. The number and variation of the sigils are a bit simpler than the Xuanhuo sigils.
But Li Mu didn't intend to draw it at one time, he had just said that the success rate of his spirit rune drawing was only about fifty percent. The Xuanhuo Talisman was successfully drawn at one time and reached the upper level, it can be said that he is more familiar with this talisman and has a more profound mastery, if the next drawings are like this, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Li Mu closed his eyes and looked inward, and after carefully observing the rune mark of the water dragon talisman, he opened his eyes confidently and slowly sketched it on the rune paper. Only this time, when he put down the pen, he looked much more jerky, and sweat was also dripping on his face, as if it took him a lot of energy to draw this spirit rune.
Li Mu's hands were extremely stable when he drew the Xuanhuo Talisman, and his movements did not stop at all, and he drew it in one go. But in the face of this spirit rune, which was simpler than the Xuanhuo rune, he paused again and again, and after more than half an hour, Li Mu finally shook his right hand, and the rune mark on his pen was slightly crooked.
This rune was completely destroyed because of this slightest mistake. When the people around saw this result, they all breathed a sigh of relief from their hearts.
Li Mu's face remained unchanged, which was originally in his design. He picked up another piece of rune paper and laid it out, and continued to draw.
Half an hour later, the water dragon was formed. It's just that this rune paper is not a high-level spirit rune, just an ordinary low-level spirit rune.
Everyone stopped bothering him and looked at Li Mu quietly. Li Mu closed his eyes, and after resting for a while, he picked up the talisman pen again, preparing to draw another spirit talisman.
This time, what he wanted to draw was a spirit rune that was slightly more difficult than the Xuanhuo rune, the Yellow Dust Fu.
The Yellow Dust Talisman is an earth-attribute spirit talisman, the function is to emit a diffuse smoke and dust, confusing the enemy's sight, this talisman does not have much attack power, but it has a strong effect of confusing the enemy, the number of runes is much more than the Xuanhuo Talisman, and the difficulty is also doubled.
Naturally, the drawing of the Yellow Dust Talisman could not be successful at one time, and after Li Mu pretended to fail to draw it twice, he only drew this spirit talisman completely when he drew it for the third time. Although it is still only a low-level spirit rune, it can be regarded as passing the assessment.
At this time, another three hours have passed, and Li Mu's first day of assessment is the last spirit rune.
At this point, he had only used six pieces of rune paper, and there were still four blank rune papers left on the table for him to use. In other words, as long as he has a success rate of less than 30%, he can pass this assessment.
And everyone saw that he had only drawn a yellow dust talisman three times in a row, and their eyes looking at him had become normal, and they were all guessing that his last spirit talisman could be successfully drawn several times.
You must know that Li Mu has been concentrating on drawing the spirit rune for nearly six hours at this time, and the average rune master should have run out of energy after such a high-intensity drawing, and it is this last kind of spirit rune drawing that is also a great test for the rune masters who participate in the assessment.
The reason why the talisman master assessment of the Xuanming Sect Fu Department was to ask the talisman master to draw four different spirit runes one after another on the first day of the assessment, in fact, it was also the threshold in turn to dissuade those who wanted to fish in troubled waters. And those who can really pass the assessment with confidence will naturally not be afraid of this difficulty.
Li Mu didn't feel any lack of energy, he was very energetic, but he was deliberately destroying the rune he had drawn before, which made him feel a little distressed. You must know that each spirit rune represents at least a dozen spirit stones!
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mu didn't want to delay any longer, anyway, the success rate of the talisman master was only a general range, and it did not mean that a certain talisman could only be in how many spirit runes, how much success, after all, luck is also an important part of the strength of the talisman.
And the last spirit rune that Li Mu was going to draw was the Thick Earth Talisman.
He had drawn this sigil more than a dozen times, so he knew it by heart. At this time, he was no longer clumsy, his pen was like flowing water, and his vision was extremely firm, but in half an hour, he could outline all the sigils of this spirit rune.
The moment he gently lifted the talisman pen, a yellow light flashed on the thick earth talisman, and everyone present felt a thick and condensed aura, the faces of those talismans changed, and some people lost their voices: "It's a top-level spirit talisman again!"
The man in the green robe was obviously much calmer this time, as early as when Li Mu put down his pen to draw this thick earth talisman, he faintly noticed the difference. Li Mu's demeanor was not as good as the previous two times, he seemed extremely relaxed, and it was obvious that his grasp of this kind of spirit rune was extremely deep, so he was not surprised by such a result.
Li Mu felt the burning eyes of the old men around him, goosebumps appeared on his body, and he hurriedly put away this spirit rune. Then he stood up and arched his hand at the blue-robed man, "Your Excellency, I have passed today's assessment." If nothing happens, the disciple will take his leave. ”
With a playful expression on his face, the blue-robed man nodded and said, "Go ahead, remember to come early tomorrow for the second assessment." ”
Everyone looked at Li Mu with strange eyes, Li Mu didn't squint, walked out of the main hall of the Fu Gong Department quickly, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The blue-robed man sat on the throne and said softly, "Master Fu stays, and the rest of the people disperse." ”
Many apprentices and disciples hurriedly retreated, and in an instant, there were only more than 20 people left in the main hall, and among these more than 20 people, three of them were wearing this cyan robe, just like the hall master, and they were obviously monks in the foundation building period.
Moreover, among the more than 20 people, except for the blue-robed man and the white-robed young man standing beside him, the remaining more than 20 people, without exception, were all old men with old faces.
The blue-robed man looked at these old men, with a joy in his eyes that could not be concealed, and he asked, "What do you think of that Li Mu?"
An old man in a green robe sitting in the front of the line spoke first: "This son has an unlimited future, Fu Dao talent is superhuman, and he is a material that can be made!"
"Not only that, but I think this son is very likely to become the second third-grade talisman master in my rune department. "That's what another old man said.
"I think that no matter whether this son can pass the assessment in the next two days, he should be brought over to cultivate a good student, and one day, my Fu Gong Department will definitely prosper because of it!"
At this time, there was a lukewarm voice that said: "Senior brothers, you can't help but think too highly of him, the second third-grade rune master, if the third-grade rune master is so easy to cultivate, how can you and I work all our lives?"
"I also don't think you should get your hopes up too much, and let's look at it again and make up our minds. Someone chimed in.
The man in the green robe shook his head, and the talisman was gloomy, which had nothing to do with the self-cherishing of these old talisman masters. Now that such a genius as Li Mu has appeared, some people are beginning to feel the threat of their status.
As for Li Mu's talent, although he couldn't see through it for the time being, he faintly felt that it should be more than what he showed today, so he had already made up his mind in his heart that no matter whether Li Mu could pass the assessment tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he would accept him as a disciple and cultivate it well.
The blue-robed man coughed lightly, and the scene suddenly quieted down, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and rest first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow." ”
The white-robed young man behind the blue-robed man looked at these drooping old men, and a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.
Controlled by this group of old guys who are in the waning mountains, how can the Fu Gong Department prosper!(To be continued.) )
