The Water Gate Technique was just one of the auxiliary techniques, and with the techniques it used, Li Mu selected a total of five, namely the Sword Rain Technique, the Heavy Earth Seal, the Flame Snake Technique, the Earth Dungeon Technique, and the Dust Technique.

The reason why low-level spells are extremely powerful is that their mudras are simple and the mantras are easy to comprehend, but in order to master a certain low-level spell, it also requires a lot of practice and a certain amount of talent.

In addition, the mastery of one's own Yuan Power will also have an impact on the low-level spells that one learns, generally speaking, each disciple in the mortal stage will choose a low-level spell with matching attributes according to his own spiritual root situation, and practice a lot. This kind of practice can not only increase one's mastery of a certain technique, but also play a good role in refining the Yuan Force, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

On the contrary, if a cultivator in the mortal stage disregards his spiritual root situation and Yuan Li attributes, and randomly chooses the attributes that he is not good at to practice, it will only have the opposite effect, not only will he waste a lot of time, but even if he masters the technique, it is impossible to exert much power, and the final result is mostly more than worth the loss.

The reason why Li Mu dared to take such a risk and chose a technique that included the attributes of the five elements was because of his main practice in the mortal period - the Nine Heavens Qi Cultivation Technique, which was obtained from the hands of Kuang Lao Dao, who was scattered and cultivated, and the method of gathering qi and transforming the yuan was also very different from other exercises, and directly formed a Yuan Force array of the five elements in Li Mu's dantian, so that he could drive the Yuan Force of various attributes like an arm command.

Moreover, Li Mu has a Yuan Spirit Bead to absorb spiritual energy, and he doesn't have to spend a lot of time wasting on meditation like other disciples. Therefore, he could spend most of his time learning these low-level spells, and for him who had the Five Elements Yuan Force Array, all the attribute exercises were not refused, and naturally the more comprehensive the better.

In the following time, except for occasionally taking the time to draw some spirit runes, Li Mu spent all his energy on the practice of these six spells.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is a month.

The energy of a cultivator is far from being comparable to that of mortals, coupled with Li Mu's cultivation of the body of a Yuan Demon, his energy is powerful and full, and it is several times better than that of an ordinary cultivator in the early stage, so in this month, he closed his eyes and rested for two or three hours every day.

In all the remaining time, Li Mu practiced various techniques while practicing the Qi Technique for nine days, and took the time to draw more than 100 spirit runes, which can be described as a great gain.

First of all, it was the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Qi Technique, and Li Mu felt that he should meditate for a while longer, and he could use the Yuan Spirit Bead to absorb the spiritual energy to break through the shackles of the first layer and reach the second layer.

The second is the practice of the six low-level spells, these six spells are between the first and third grades, the difficulty is naturally a piece of cake for Li Mu, a talisman master, plus he can freely drive the Yuan Force of various attributes, and the practice is even more effective with half the effort.

In this month's practice, Li Mu had mastered most of these six techniques, and according to his estimates, he should have been able to exert about eighty percent of the original power of these spells. Moreover, he also tried to use a combination of these spells, and now he can successfully release the three spells of the Water Gate Technique, the Heavy Earth Seal and the Flame Snake Technique in an instant, and his strength has increased a lot.

And in order to avoid trouble this month, he spent most of his energy on the practice of spells, so the spirit runes he refined were all the runes he had mastered before, and the quality was relatively average, and among the more than one hundred and fifty spirit runes, there were only fourteen upper-level spirit runes.

However, these are all to complete the tasks of the sect, and he doesn't care very much. Originally, with his plan, he wanted to directly retreat for a year, which was used to thoroughly master these techniques, and by the way, he practiced the qi technique for nine days, broke through the first or even the second layer, and then went out to take on some sect tasks and experienced some actual battles, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to find him.

The person who came was a disciple of the Transformation Stage wearing a white robe, and there was a small pavilion pattern embroidered on his chest, which Li Mu recognized as the symbol of the mission pavilion disciple.

This person passed by Zheng Yunjie and directly found Li Mu.

Li Mu had some doubts in his heart, when he went to Zheng Yunjie to hand over the spirit talisman before, he specially told him that he would retreat for a year, and asked him to block the visiting people as much as possible. This Zheng Yunjie agreed very simply, it didn't seem to be a fake, why did he bring such a person to him so quickly?

Zheng Yunjie and the disciple of the Mission Pavilion stood in front of Li Mu, Zheng Yunjie's face was cloudy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, seeing Li Mu open the door and come out, he sighed deeply and said, "Senior Brother Li, it is Senior Brother who is incompetent and has disturbed your cultivation." ”

After he finished speaking, he actually bowed to Li Mu.

Li Mu hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped him up, ignoring the mission pavilion disciple with a cold face, but said to Zheng Yunjie: "This matter is okay, Li's cultivation is not in a hurry, I don't know what senior brother is looking for me?"

Zheng Yunjie shook his head, pointed at the mission pavilion disciple with an unkind face and said, "Senior brother, ask him, the mission pavilion is too deceitful!"

"Good to teach Senior Brother Li to know", this person's tone was flat, his speech was extremely slow, and he said with a somewhat arrogant look: "Every disciple of my Xuanming Sect must complete at least one sect task every year, even Master Fu is no exception. The task assigned by this pavilion to Senior Brother Li is just in these few days, so I want to invite Senior Brother Li to go out of the customs. ”

"Is there such a thing?" he didn't resist when he did the task, but instinctively wanted to ask clearly.

Zheng Yunjie said angrily: "This rule is indeed not limited to the identity of disciples, but in such a year, how can a talisman master be recruited to carry it out? It's just that for some reason this time, the mission pavilion has to go out of the customs to carry out the mission, and the senior brother can't argue with him, so he can only come to find the junior brother. ”

Li Mu nodded to show that he understood, for him, it didn't matter when he went to perform the task, and he just took this opportunity to go out of the sect to breathe, and by the way, try his strength.

Li Mu asked, "When will I set off?"

The mission pavilion disciple took out a jade cylinder from the storage bag and handed it to Li Mu, and said in a formulaic tone: "All the information about this mission is in it, after Senior Brother Li carefully checks it, you can set off, and after completing the task, remember to go to the mission pavilion to cancel the record." ”

Li Mu took the jade cylinder, put it on his forehead, and directly read the contents of it. After the mission pavilion disciple handed this thing to him, he turned around and left without saying a word, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Zheng Yunjie still had an unhappy look on his face, but he still asked Li Mudao with some concern: "What is the task?

Li Mu shook his head with some doubts, he had already thought of Ma Chuyuan, who had robbed him of the elixir before, he should have many enemies in the sect, but the person who would make trouble for himself through the Mission Pavilion should be the only one who was right, after all, his father was the master of the Mission Pavilion.

But the task in this jade tube is really a little too simple, and it doesn't seem to be dangerous at all: go to the vicinity of Spirit Beast Mountain, kill a low-level clouded leopard who is about to survive the Yuan Demon Thunder Tribulation, and bring its body back to the door, which is limited to one month to complete.

In addition, there are annotations, which talk about the living habits, appearance characteristics and attack methods of this clouded leopard demon beast, and even its weaknesses are clearly written, which greatly reduces the difficulty of this mission.

Li Mu handed the jade cylinder to Zheng Yunjie, and after Zheng Yunjie read the contents, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that this mission pavilion doesn't dare to make things too difficult for you, it's just a small demon beast, Senior Brother Li only needs to find its shelter and wait for it to survive the tribulation, if it fails, he can take the sheep and take the corpse away; ”

Li Mu smiled, did not say his grievances with Ma Chuyuan, and after sending Zheng Yunjie away, he turned back to his room.

The trip lasted for a month, and the Mission Pavilion couldn't determine when the demon beast was going to survive, so he asked Li Mu to set off as soon as possible and kill it before it survived the tribulation - this was also out of insurance, but Li Mu had no worries about this, if it was really just a clouded leopard, what if it was really just a clouded leopard, what if it would succeed in the tribulation and recover?

The key to the matter lies in the person Ma Chuyuan who followed. He suddenly used the authority of the task cabinet master to forcibly accept this task, and he must have some plan. Could it be that his performance during this period of time was too flamboyant, which made this person feel the crisis, so he wanted to strike first and get rid of himself?

Li Mu felt that this possibility was extremely great, and he couldn't help but take precautions, so after he returned to the quiet room, he immediately took out the talisman pen and began to draw the spirit rune.

Two days later, Li Mu quietly left his residence and went to the Fu Bao Building, where he had bought the spirit rune last time.

The person who received him was still the amorous young woman Xiao Yuran, but because of Li Mu's identity as a talisman master, her attitude had changed a lot, and she was much more respectful than before.

Li Mu didn't want to delay, he directly took out a stack of spirit runes from the storage bag and handed it to her, and said, "Estimate the price, I'm here to sell the spirit runes." ”

Xiao Yuran took this stack of spirit runes, felt the aura emanating from them, and his face changed. His tone trembled: "These are all ...... Upper Order Spirit Rune?"

Li Mu nodded silently.

She gritted her teeth, opened them one by one and checked them, and in a short time, she finished the stack of spirit runes, and said with a bit of awe in her expression: "A total of fifty-five upper-level spirit runes, priced at five thousand and five hundred spirit stones, Master Li...... What does the rune think?"

Li Mu said: "Take me to the place where I bought the spirit rune last time." ”

Xiao Yuran put away the spirit rune and hurriedly led the way in front. She had many questions in her heart, but after seeing Li Mu's expressionless face, she somehow felt some instinctive danger in this young man who was much younger than her, reminding her not to talk too much.
