Night.

Li Mupan sat on the bed, feeling the situation of his main dantian with some worry. During this day, he tried many methods, but they all had little effect, and it seemed that he could only wait for the second dantian to stabilize and slowly try to use the second dantian to transform into mortals.

As for the true qi blockade of the main dantian, it may only be possible to unravel it when it is transformed into mortal power and converted into yuan power.

Not far away, footsteps sounded towards his room. Li Mu's eyebrows jumped, and with his strong ear power, the footsteps were heard by him more than ten feet away. And it was still two people who came, and listening to the frequency of one of them, it was clearly Ma Su, the father of the Ma brothers and sisters.

Li Mu stood up, walked to the table and sat down.

There was a knock on the door, Li Mu sat still, and said lightly, "Please come in." ”

The two outside the door did not speak, silently walked into Li Mu's room, closed the door, and walked straight to the stool beside Li Mu and sat down. Ma Su looked at Li Mu and asked with some confusion: "Immortal Master Li knows that I am coming-" but no longer calls him a brother, the word "Immortal Master", I don't know if it is respect or ridicule?

Li Mu set his eyes on another middle-aged man and asked, "May I ask who the other one is?"

The middle-aged man stared at Li Mu tightly, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to see him up and down. I don't know why, the young man in front of him gave him a sense of danger, which was extremely clear, but he couldn't tell what it was. Hearing Li Mu's question, he replied honestly like a ghost: "In Xia Ma Zhen, the current head of the Ma family. It's like a junior answering an elder's question.

The reason why Ma Zhen sensed the sense of danger on Li Mu's body was that he played a little trick, and when he was questioning, he released a trace of the Yuan Demon aura on his body by the way, and pressed straight towards this person.

As one of the most powerful races in the world, the dragon clan has a sense of oppression over all races in its bloodline, although the dragon clan bloodline on Li Mu's body is thin, it is more than enough to intimidate Ma Zhen, a small early stage cultivator.

Seeing that the power of his bloodline had successfully worked, Li Mu immediately smiled faintly and put away the breath on his body. Na Ma really felt the aura on Li Mu's body change, and the aura that made him feel dangerous disappeared, and his eyes looking at Li Mu couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Li Mu smiled faintly: "The two horse brothers don't know what is going on here?"

Ma Zhen and Ma Su glanced at each other, and then Ma Zhen said: "Your sect is really a great cultivator, and it has actually trained a young talent like Li Xianshi, and I will wait for the Xiuzhen family ......."

Li Mu interrupted him impatiently: "The master of the Ma family should just talk about the right thing, and the polite words will be avoided first." ”

Ma Zhen smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said, "I heard that Immortal Master Li is not going to return to the sect directly, but to return to his hometown?"

Li Mu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"I wonder if Immortal Master Li is still satisfied with that bottle of Huang Yuandan and that piece of Xuantie Essence?"

"The essence of the dark iron, you say that this ore is the essence of the dark iron?" Li Mu looked surprised, and then turned over the storage bag and took out the black ore.

The head of the Ma family nodded a little proudly, and then said: "This thing is the essence of Xuantie, it seems that Brother Li still likes this thing?"

Li Mu didn't beat around the bush with him, and asked directly: "Does the Ma family master still have this thing in his hand?"

Ma Zhen saw his attitude and knew that he didn't like to waste time, so he replied bluntly: "In my Ma family's treasury, there is also a piece of Xuantie Essence, which is much larger than the one given to Brother Li. ”

"I'm a little interested in this thing, I don't know what price the master of the Ma family needs to pay to give it to me?"

"It's very simple, as long as Brother Li helps my Ma family get through this difficulty. Ma Zhen's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Li Mu asked with some confusion: "The tribulation of the first demon has passed, what difficulties have the Ma family encountered?"

Ma Zhen nodded at Ma Su, who took over the conversation and said hatefully: "It's a group of loose cultivators who have had a grudge against my Ma family, and this time they want to take advantage of the weakness of my Ma family and take advantage of the fire to rob them." ”

Li Muhu said suspiciously: "These scattered cultivators are so bold that they dare to come to seek your trouble? Didn't I send my senior uncle to order your Ma family to clean up and manage this city? and someone else came to fight your idea?"

Ma Zhen sighed heavily: "That group of loose cultivators has already released their words, they want to have a life-and-death round battle with people above the congenital late stage of my Ma family, if my Ma family is defeated, they will not destroy me, but only ask for an apology of 10,000 spirit stones......"

"My senior brothers don't care about this?"

Ma Su on the side smiled bitterly, and said a little weakly: "The reason for this Origin Demon invasion has been ascertained, it is that the three mortal stage disciples of my Ma family, the Qi family of Snow Peak City, and the Wang family of Autumn Mountain City inadvertently picked a spiritual grass guarded by the Origin Demon, which will cause this group of Origin Demons to attack the city in a big way." Now those three disciples have been brought back by the masters of your sect and are waiting for the verdict. ”

"Thanks to the noble people of your sect who raised their noble hands, they did not get angry with my Ma family, but they also left an order that the disciples of your sect should not help my Ma family. And allow those loose cultivators to challenge, but they are not allowed to exterminate our clan -- but after this battle, most of the people in my Ma family have died in battle, how can we win this round of life and death? If the other party kills a few more people from my Ma family in the battle of life and death, then after this matter subsides and Tieyu City settles down again, what awaits my Ma family is probably a real catastrophe. ”

Li Mu pondered for a while, the order of his own sect uncle is not a problem, when the time comes, change his outfit, anyway, no one will recognize who he is, the key is how many people are in this batch of loose cultivators, and whether it is dangerous for him to join this matter. He had a question in his heart, but he didn't hide it, and asked directly: "How many of these scattered cultivators are there, what is the realm, and what is the situation of the battle of life and death?"

Ma Su hurriedly said: "This group of scattered cultivators is no more than eight people, occupying Baitou Mountain a hundred miles away in the south of Tieyu City, self-proclaimed 'Baitou Bazi', they are all in the early stage of Huafan, the boss with the highest mana, and they have entered the early stage of Huafan for more than 20 years, but they have not made any progress, in addition to the fire spell in one hand, there is still some power, and there is also a golden bell magic weapon in his hand, which is a rather rare treasure of attacking spirit. The rest of them didn't have magic weapons in their hands, and spells were just commonplace. ”

"This time, the other party took advantage of the weakness of my Ma family and proposed a round of life and death, a total of eight games, if my Ma family wins four games, they will promise not to set foot in Iron Jade City within ten years - if my Ma family is defeated, not only will I have to pay its 10,000 spirit stones, but after a year, my Ma family will take the initiative to move out of Iron Jade City and give them eight people the foundation of my Ma family. ”

Li Mu was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked: "You Ma family disciples and the people of the Qi family and the Wang family went to collect the elixir of the first demon, is it really an unintentional mistake?" In fact, he knew in his heart that these three families were crazy to dare to provoke those first demons, but this doubt in his heart was here, and he was uncomfortable if he didn't ask, and he didn't have the heart to help the people of the Ma family with peace of mind - the essence of Xuantie is precious, but being a man is not to be ignorant.

Ma Su and Ma Zhen nodded solemnly together, obviously because of the unintentional mistake of their own disciples, they also felt very saddened by such a disaster.

That Ma Zhen said with a sad face: "Because of this matter, even the patriarch of my Ma family, that is, my father, lost his life, how dare we do such a heartbreaking thing for any elixir?"

Li Mu nodded in understanding, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he asked with some curiosity: "Dare to ask the people of the Ma family, how many mortal periods still exist?"

Ma Su said: "With me and my brother, there are only five people. However, as long as Brother Li is willing to help, plus the two high-ranking disciples of your faction, it will be enough to deal with these eight loose cultivators. ”

"Which of the two high-ranking disciples I sent? Do they dare to disobey my uncle's order?" Li Mu looked a little surprised, there were people like him, risking offending the man surnamed Zhan, and also helping the Ma family, and I don't know what kind of reward the Ma family gave them?

"One is named Xue Chucai and the other is Guo Hongming, I wonder if Brother Li knows these two?"

Hearing Xue Chucai's name, Li Mu was still able to accept it, after all, this person had many spirit talismans in his hands, and none of the Huafan disciples in the Xuanming Sect could help him, let alone these people who had no teacher and no sect. But Guo Hongming was also among them, which made him a little surprised, this woman couldn't even block her two Xuanhuo talismans, what could she use to fight against the Mortal Stage Scattered Cultivation?

Li Mu was puzzled in his heart, but his face did not show anything unusual, he nodded quietly and said: "I do know both of them, I can promise to help the Ma family and participate in the battle of life and death." But before that, I hope that the two brothers will keep it a secret and not let my senior brothers know about it - after all, the orders of the elders of the sect are still not easy to disobey openly. ”

The second horse was overjoyed, and Ma Zhen said to Li Mu: "If my Ma family wins with the help of Brother Li, in addition to this essence of Xuantie, I will prepare another heavy gift to thank you!"

Li Mu nodded, but asked a little stupidly, "Do the two horse brothers know the preciousness of the essence of Xuantie, don't you think it's a waste to give it to me like this?"

Erma shook his head, and Ma Su said: "In the face of the survival of the family, what is the essence of a mere piece of dark iron. And this thing is precious, but if it can't be used, it's just a piece of scrap metal. ”

"The people of the Seven Swords Sect are ten thirsty for this essence of dark iron—"

"The Seven Swords Sect is tens of thousands of miles away from here, do my Ma family have to run tens of thousands of miles to give this thing to others in exchange for other people's protection? I'm afraid that before the envoy of my Ma family can get there, that white-headed eight son has already come to the door. And who can guarantee that the people of the Seven Swords Sect will not have murderous intentions because of the treasures, and directly kill people to seize the treasures? In comparison, it is still a benevolent cultivation like Brother Li, which is worth paying such a big price for me to cooperate with you. ”

The reason why Li Mu asked that question was that he wanted to test this Ma Zhen, seeing that he was so heartfelt and sincere, he temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and was really ready to help.
