It's dawn.

Li Mu held the sword independently, reminiscing about the harvest of practicing swordsmanship and body skills last night.

In last night's angry practice, his swordsmanship and body technique finally reached the realm of Dacheng like his fist technique. And his control of true qi is also more handy. His cultivation realm has also officially broken through the early stage of innate and entered the middle stage.

All this came naturally, but the influence of the incident of the first yuan of the horse is still obvious.

Last night, he was humiliated by Nama Chuyuan, and took away all the firethorn grass that he had been digging for more than ten days, but he was limited to cultivation and could not resist.

Although he didn't show any anger at that time, he just calmly let Ma Chuyuan snatch his things. But in fact, when he asked about the name of Ma Chuyuan yesterday, he had already moved to kill.

He has endured hardships for a long time, failed several scientific expeditions, and encountered sudden changes, wandering between life and death, but he has already hidden his heart of honor and disgrace deeply. It was because of his talent that he did not change his face in the face of Ma Chuyuan's provocation and insult, and did not attack on the spot. Ma Chuyuan can insult him, but he shouldn't block his cultivation path. He worked hard for half a month, just for the fifty spirit stones of this task. This time, the spirit grass was taken away by this Ma Chuyuan in vain, and his efforts for half a month were all in vain. The spirit stones on his body were no longer enough for cultivation, so he hated him and wanted to kill him.

In addition, Li Mu also couldn't understand that even if Ma Chuyuan relied on his father to be the master of the mission pavilion, he should not dare to bully him so blatantly. After all, there was still Lingmu standing behind him, Lingmu didn't say anything, who knew what the relationship between Li Mu and him was? Therefore, when Li Mu entered, although many people criticized him, no one dared to come forward to trouble him. Now that he has only been out for half a month, this Ma Chuyuan dares to treat him like this, could it be that there is something wrong with Lingmu?

Thinking of this, Li Mu felt that it was necessary to figure out the cause of the incident and be prepared in case of accidents.

He didn't know much in the door, and the only one who could speak was Wang Shan, a disciple of the Gong Transmission Department who led the way for him last time.

He followed the address left by Wang Shan last time, and found a hut that looked like his residence.

Standing outside the door, Li Mu said loudly: "Senior brother Li Mu came to visit, I wonder if senior brother can go out to talk?"

The room was quiet, there was no response, and no one seemed to be at home.

Li Mu's five senses were several times sharper than before, and although the people in the room did not make a sound, their heartbeat was clearly audible in Li Mu's ears. He didn't know why Wang Shan avoided him, but he didn't expose it. After a short moment of silence outside the door, he turned to leave.

Just as he turned around, Wang Shan's voice came from his ears: "Senior Brother Li, forgive me for not being able to go out to see you this time." Senior Brother can only tell you that Lingmu Zhenren has announced a retreat, and he will not be out of the retreat for decades. So from now on, you have no shelter in the door, so you have to be more careful. ”

Li Mu's footsteps paused slightly, knowing that Wang Shan was using the technique of transmitting sound into the secret that only disciples in the mortal stage could master, and informed him of the news. In this Lingmu retreat, and a group of people are eyeing him, Wang Shan's approach can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, not to mention how much affection he has.

Li Mu turned around, hugged his fists in the direction of Wang Shan's hut, and strode back to his residence.

Entering the house, Li Mu took out all the spirit stones he had left, put them on the table and counted the number.

He has the status and authority of a formal disciple, and he can receive twenty spirit stones in the door every month. I used a lot of it this time, but the spirit stone of the next month was not yet available to receive it, and he was played by this **** Chong, which made his half-moon hard work go to waste, and he only got a **** Chong "given" the spirit stone. Therefore, at this time, there were only nine spirit stones in front of Li Mu.

He intends to take on the next task and earn spirit stones. But after Lingmu retreats, he loses his reliance, and I am afraid that he will immediately become the target of public criticism. If those veteran innate disciples deliberately asked him for trouble, although he was not afraid, he didn't want to complete the task well.

Li Mu was doing nothing at this time, and he didn't know what to do next. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the location of the Third Pill Department of Xuanxiao Peak first to find out the information about Jin Chong and the elixir that had been given to him.

Li Mu went all the way up the mountain, and the few disciples he met one after another didn't know him or talk to him. Half an hour later, he came to the third floor of the portal, explained his intention to the guarding disciples, and after pasting the talisman paper, he followed the direction of the pill medicine department in his memory, and walked quickly.

An hour later, Li Mu showed his identity token to the disciples on duty in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Pill Department, and after obtaining permission, he entered it.

The Scripture Pavilion is quite spacious, with rows and rows of bookshelves lined up with many books of different thicknesses. According to the growth habits of the elixir, the people of the elixir department classified the information about the spirit grass according to the region.

Li Mu saw that he roughly divided the elixir production area of the Xuanying Realm into six major regions, namely "the north of the Xuanying Realm, the elixir system to which the Helian Mountains belong", "the elixir system to which the Xuanying Realm belongs to the east and the Ze of Yunshui", "the elixir system to which the Xuanying Realm belongs to the south and the 100,000 Great Mountains", "the medicine system to which the Xuanying Realm belongs to the west and the Luojin Mountain to which the Luojin Mountain belongs", "The medicine system to which Tu Luohai belongs", and "The medicine system to which the secret realm belongs". Among them, the climate in the northern part of the Xuanying Realm is cold, and the elixirs are mainly cold attributes; in the east, the elixirs are mostly aquatic; in the south, the mountains stretch for thousands of miles; in the barren land in the west, the medicinal properties are Jinrui; the islands in the Tuluo Sea are all over the place, and the elixirs are mostly different from those produced on land; as for the information of the elixirs produced in the various secret realms, they are separated by a faint blue light, which is obviously not something that Li Mu can see.

Jin Chong and the names of the dozens of elixirs that he threw at him last time asked him to find them all one by one before calling them out. And told him that these dozens of elixirs may not be available in the Xuanying Realm, but alternative medicines can be found. As for how to find it, he was not given an explanation. Jin Chong's implication seemed to be to let him learn the art of distinguishing medicine and even alchemy.

Li Mu knew that since he let himself find the elixir on his own and didn't give him any hints, he must have the intention of trial. If you can't even find the elixir for your own body quenching, what qualifications do you have to learn the art of the demon clan?

Li Mu buried his head in carefully flipping through the books that recorded the elixir in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, the time limit of three hours had arrived.

He only found the approximate place where the two elixirs he needed were grown, and when he saw that the time limit for him to stay in the third layer had expired, he hurried down the mountain.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Li Mu prepared to go up the mountain again to inquire about the elixir information. Just as he was going out, there were two uninvited guests in his way.

Li Mu squinted and saw that the two of them were tall and short, one fat and one thin, tall like a bamboo pole and short like an altar. The two stood together, looking very strange. Seeing him come out, the tall and thin man was expressionless and did not say a word. The Humpty Dumpty man next to him smiled and arched his hand at him, and said, "Innate disciple Bai Yuxuan has seen Li Mu's 'Senior Uncle', Senior Uncle Good morning, is this going out?"

Li Mu saw that he had a fat head, big ears, and a short and fat figure, and his overall image was 108,000 miles different from the name "Bai Yuxuan". Moreover, he had never seen this person, but today he was so in front of his door, and he called himself a "congenital disciple" and clearly called out his name. During the conversation, the word "uncle" was deliberately bitten very hard, which was obviously not good.

Li Mu didn't want to entangle with him more, so he said coldly: "What's the matter, just say it." ”

The fat man's smile remained unchanged, and he was still waiting to talk nonsense, but the thin man beside him took a step forward, stood in front of Li Mu, and said to him: "You are Li Mu? Otherwise, let's give up the official discipleship as soon as possible. ”

When Li Mu first heard the unfamiliar name of "Congenital Martial Arts", he felt a little inexplicable, but the fat man Bai Yuxuan said: "Presumably, Uncle Shi still doesn't know what Innate Martial Arts is, wait for me to explain it to you." Although the innate disciples of our generation are not considered formal disciples of this sect, they also follow the example of this sect, and every five years, they will carry out a 'congenital martial arts', and the leaders of this martial arts will receive some rewards from the elders of the sect, and this year's reward will be exchanged for a formal disciple quota under the plea of our others. Needless to say, this place came from the senior brother. If Senior Brother can't get the first place in the innate martial arts, he will have to go to the bottom of the mountain to cultivate with us and the others. ”

Li Mu didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly, and among the innate disciples, I don't know who was in collusion with the seniors of the sect, and he wanted to take away his qualifications as an official disciple in this way.

He didn't show any strange color on his face, but asked lightly: "When does the martial arts start, and how can I participate?"

The thin man said: "Today, a month later, there will be a martial arts field on the first floor, and there will naturally be someone to guide the way for 'Uncle Shi' at that time. ”

Between the words of these two people, they both bit the word "uncle" very hard, obviously using this way to ridicule him.

Li Mu said to the two of them: "If I agree to participate in the martial arts, can you guarantee that you will not come to harass me within this month?"

The fat man and the thin man glanced at each other, and the fat man said: "We are here this time, on behalf of all the innate disciples who are qualified to participate in the martial arts, we can make a promise for them, as long as you agree to participate in the martial arts, within this month, there will be no innate disciples who will come to disturb the 'cultivation' of the 'uncle'." ”

After saying the word cultivation heavily, the fat man actually laughed out loud, showing mockery.

Li Mumian listened to the fat man's sharp laughter without changing his face, and after he was stopped by the thin man on the side, he stopped laughing, and said to them: "You can go back to resume your life, I will participate in the martial arts meeting in January." Don't fail to meet the two of you, it will be a pity. ”

The fat man was aroused by the contempt in his tone, and unabashedly sneered: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, if the two of us meet Uncle Shi in the martial arts, we will definitely treat Uncle Shi well, so that Uncle Shi can see the etiquette of our old disciples." ”

After he finished speaking, he snorted softly and turned away with the thin man beside him.

After the two left, Li Mu dispelled the idea of going to the third floor, turned around and returned to the house.
