"Your Highness Princess, please wait here for a moment, I will go to the room to get my luggage." Shi Mu carefully put away the blue bone fragments, said to Princess Huowu, turned around and started to walk away.
"Shi Mu, you don't have to go with me." Princess Huowu turned her eyes and suddenly said.
Shi Mu's face was a little surprised when he heard this. He stopped and turned his head to look over, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"You have finally gathered the beast souls and totem secrets, so you should calm down and eliminate the hidden dangers in your body first. I have the Flame Fang Priest sending people to protect you, so safety will never be a problem. As far as I know, the barbarian totem secrets
Technique is by no means something that can be easily practiced. Here you can also ask for advice from Flame Fang Priest and others. Once you leave the Holy Snow Palace, I am afraid that you will no longer have the opportunity to ask others." Princess Huowu said.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration." Hearing this, Shi Mu cupped his fists and saluted Princess Huowu and said.
Princess Huowu smiled lightly, took out a palm-sized seven-pointed purple gold token from her waist, with some strange runes engraved on one side and the word "lian" on the other side, and handed it to Shi Mu.
Shi Mu was startled and took it.
"This is the Purple Gold Token of our Seven Sects Alliance. With this token, you can enter and leave the seven sects of the alliance at will, and you can ask for assistance at any stronghold of the alliance. This time, you can successfully form an alliance with the barbarians. You have done a great job, and this object will be transferred to
You can consider this a little bit of my gratitude." Princess Huowu said.
"How is this possible?" Shi Mu was shocked and quickly declined, handing the token back.
"Brother Shi, there is no need to refuse. This thing is actually not of much use to me. In the end, you have to take action personally for what I promised you earlier. I feel quite guilty in my heart. This thing can be regarded as a little compensation from me."
Princess Huowu chuckled.
Princess Huowu said this, and Shi Mu couldn't refuse any more, so he had to put the token away.
"By the way, this Priest Yihe has a deep hatred for you. In front of the high priest, he will not dare to tamper with the totem secrets, but you still need to be careful when you return to the human race." Huo Wu.
The princess said in a low voice.
Shi Mu frowned slightly and nodded slowly.
At this moment, Yanya Priest has completed the formation of the escort team and led a small team of more than 20 people over.
Although this team has a small number of people, every barbarian has acquired late-stage strength or above. The leader of the team is a masked young woman with a rather cold gaze, but the aura on her body fluctuates strongly, and she is clearly an innate being.
"This is the elder Langqing of our clan. From now on, she will be responsible for protecting the safety of Princess Huowu during her trip." Yanya said quite confidently.
"Then I'll trouble Elder Langqing." Princess Huowu said with a slight smile.
The cold look in the masked young woman's eyes faded a little, she nodded to Princess Huowu and stood there.
"Elder Yanya, there is something I may need your help with..." Princess Huowu then told Yanya that Shi Mu wanted to stay to practice the secret art of totem.
"Don't worry, Princess Huowu. This matter will be left to me. If little brother Shi Mu needs anything, you can come to me at any time." Priest Yanya immediately agreed, patting his chest.
"That way, I feel relieved." Princess Huowu nodded and said, turned around and headed down the mountain surrounded by the masked young woman and others.
In a certain stone room in the Qingya Palace.
Shi Mu, who had just returned to the room, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at the blue bone fragment in his hand with excitement, ready to study it carefully.
Knock knock!
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
Shi Mu was stunned, glanced at the bone fragment in his hand with some reluctance, put it back into his arms, and then stood up and walked out of the dormitory.
Soon he opened the door, and a young barbarian wearing a white priest's robe stood at the door with a smile.
"Priest Mo Zhu of the Holy Snow Palace, may I ask if you are a Shi Mu warrior from the human mission?" the young priest asked first.
"It turns out to be Priest Mo Zhu, and this is Shi Mu. Please come in!" Shi Mu nodded after hearing this.
"No need, Warrior Shi Mu, I'm here to see you this time because the high priest wants to summon you." After saying that, Mo Zhu looked at Shi Mu curiously.
"Priest Mo Zhu, do you know why the high priest summoned me?" Shi Mu was shocked and asked calmly.
Now that the peace talks between the two clans have ended, he is just an ordinary guard of Princess Huowu. How could the high priest suddenly summon him?
"I don't know about this," Mo Zhu said, shaking his head.
Shi Mu had no choice but to follow Mo Zhu in the direction of Shengxue Palace with an uneasy mood.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu and Mo Zhu appeared in front of a side hall deep in the Holy Snow Palace.
"Warrior Shi Mu, it is inconvenient for me to enter here, please." Mo Zhu stood at the door and made a gesture of invitation to Shi Mu.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, stepped into the side hall, and glanced quickly.
This is a small palace room, with four thick stone pillars supporting the entire space. There is also a butter brazier hung on each stone pillar. The swaying firelight makes the entire space look a bit groggy.
The layout of the palace room is very simple. Apart from two rows of seats in the center, there are no other decorations. The old high priest Bilig is leaning on the main seat with his eyes closed.
"It's Shi Mu, come and sit, don't be restrained." Bilig's deep voice suddenly sounded as if he heard Shi Mu's footsteps.
"Yes." Shi Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward to salute, then found a random chair on the left side of the high priest and sat down respectfully.
"The main reason why I called you here today is to deal with the corpse soul curse in your body. You must be planning to start to understand the secret art of totem and start sealing the beast soul, right?" Bilig slowly opened his eyes.
Eyes open, he asked slowly.
"Yes, I have this intention." Shi Mu's heart moved and he replied calmly.
"If you rashly seal the beast soul like an ordinary totem warrior, I'm afraid that the corpse soul curse has not been lifted yet and you will fall into a situation of narrow escape." Bilig shook his head slightly and said.
"Why did the high priest say this?" Shi Mu was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
The first thing he thought of was that the priest Yihe of the Serpent Tribe had done some tricks on the totem secrets. However, he checked the bone fragments as soon as he got it. The totem patterns recorded in it were consistent with those of the Serpent Tribe.
Human beings are generally the same, and some of the recorded common sense is consistent with what is stated in the totem secret technique obtained from the Teng Ya tribe.
Thoughts were racing through his mind, but he wisely did not speak out.
"You don't have to doubt whether the secret technique of the snake totem in your hand is true or false. There is another reason for this matter. Please listen to me and explain it slowly." Bilig sighed softly as if he was predicting the future, and he revealed Shi Mu's knowledge with just one sentence.
thoughts.
Shi Mu's heart moved and he responded. He leaned forward for half a minute and listened attentively.
From Bilig's next words, Shi Mu finally had a comprehensive understanding of the barbarian totem secrets.
It turns out that if an ordinary barbarian wants to become a totem warrior, he must first have a totem carved on his body by a priest of each race, and then try to seal the soul of an acquired beast. Once the seal is successful, he can become a totem warrior, and then pass
Continuously temper the beast soul and absorb the soul energy in the beast soul to gradually increase the power of the beast soul, thereby improving your cultivation.
Therefore, the level of cultivation among barbarian totem warriors is closely related to the sealed beast soul. Ordinary-level beast souls can usually be upgraded to the acquired perfection at most. Only a few high-level rare beast souls can advance to the innate level.
.And most acquired totem warriors, after the beast soul reaches the acquired perfection, use their own soul and the soul power of this beast soul as the basis, and then try to seal an early innate beast soul to advance to the innate stage.
Generally speaking, most of the acquired beast souls that ordinary Manchus seal at the beginning are mainly in the early stage. Even so, the success rate is less than 10%. Because the higher the cultivation level of the beast soul, the lower the chance of successful sealing, and
The higher the grade of the beast soul, the easier it is to cause backlash from the beast soul when sealed.
"...The three ferocious pythons you want to seal have the bloodline of the nine-headed golden dragon of the ancient monster beast. They are of extremely high grade and have mid-level innate cultivation. If you directly seal their beast souls, once you succeed, you can
Yiyue has innate mid-term strength, but the possibility of failure is very high, which can basically be said to be impossible." Bilig said expressionlessly.
Shi Mu's face turned pale as if he was struck by lightning. When he heard Bilig's explanation of the true cultivation method of the barbarians, the joy he had just received from the secret surgery of the Fierce Snake Tribe's totem suddenly disappeared.
"Shi Mu, in fact, you practice the totem secrets of the Fierce Snake Tribe not to improve your cultivation, but just to unlock the Ten Thousand Tribulations Corpse Soul Curse of the Fierce Snake Tribe. So you don't need to completely seal the beast souls of the three pythons. You
As long as the beast souls of the three pythons are guided to swallow the cursed beast soul through the secret technique of the Fierce Snake Tribe, the seal can be terminated in time. In this case, apart from the waste of the beast soul, the success rate is quite high.
"Just when Shi Mu was depressed, Bilig changed the subject and said.
Shi Mu was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. As Bilig was the highest authority on the barbarian totem secrets, if he said so, there should be nothing wrong with him.
"High Priest, why are you telling me these things?" After a moment, Shi Mu's face returned to normal and he asked with a twinkle in his eye.
"Shi Mu, do you have a necklace that belongs to our barbarian tribe?" Bilig did not answer Shi Mu's question, but instead asked him an unexpected question.
Shi Mu's face was startled at first, and then he immediately thought of the strange necklace that Feng Li had stored with him.
At this moment, an invisible force as strange and unspeakable as a deep and sea suddenly enveloped him.
He looked up in surprise and saw that the old high priest did not make any movement, but his old yellow eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
Shi Mu felt his heart go cold, and two eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything swept across his body, as if all the secrets in his heart had been seen through.
"That's true." Shi Mu admitted with a shudder in his heart.
"How about you take it out and show it to me?" Although the high priest's tone was calm, it was full of unquestionable majesty.
After Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, he took off a strange-looking necklace from his neck, with a strange beast that looked like an ape but not an ape engraved on it.
