It’s Monday, so I’m asking for recommendation votes for the third update today!
………………
"Disciple Shi Mu, I have met the great elder, the leader, Elder Jin!" Shi Mu's mind turned and he walked into the main hall and saluted in the direction of the chief seat.
After saluting, he raised his head and his eyes happened to meet Jin Xiaochai's side.
Jin Xiaochai's beautiful eyes blinked at Shi Mu with a hint of teasing, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Shi Mu was shocked and had to look away quickly.
"No need to be too polite." The middle-aged man looked Shi Mu up and down and said with a smile on his face.
Shi Mu stood up straight, walked to the side and stood in front of Moning and others.
The three of them had different expressions when they saw Shi Mu.
Moning's injuries had all recovered at this time, but when he saw Shi Mu, his expression was still a little awkward.
Qian Xiong and Bai Shuixiu were quite friendly to Shi Mu and smiled at him as a greeting.
"Are you Shi Mu? You have strong energy and strong spiritual power, not bad." The middle-aged man said in a calm tone.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for the compliment." Shi Mu clasped his hands and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
The middle-aged man's eyes fluctuated for a moment, as if Shi Mu's calmness was unexpected. After all, some of the innate elders in the sect were also frightened when they saw him.
The middle-aged man glanced at the head of the Black Demon Sect, who understood and took a step forward.
"I have summoned the four of you here today because I have something important to tell you." The head of the Black Demon Sect said with a somewhat solemn expression.
Shi Mu and the other four were all shocked when they heard this and hurriedly listened attentively.
"I believe you all know that it has been thousands of years since the founding of our Black Demon Sect. However, the origin of our sect is not from the Yan Kingdom, but from the Heavenly Demon Sect." The leader said.
Shi Mu and others looked at each other. They naturally knew about this matter, but judging from the leader, there should be more to it.
"My Black Demon Sect is a branch of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the center of the continent, and has always been connected with the Heavenly Demon Sect's main altar. In a while, it will be the Demonic Sun Ceremony held by the Heavenly Demon Sect every thirty years. At this ceremony, the Heavenly Demon Sect will
Each branch will gather together to compete with the disciples of the main line for the qualification to take the Magic Yang Sacred Fruit. Taking this fruit can greatly improve your cultivation qualifications. You may even have a chance to be absorbed by the main line and become a true disciple of the main line." The head of the Black Demon Sect.
continued.
After hearing this, Shi Mu had already guessed a little bit about what the leader of the Black Demon Sect was going to say next.
Mourning and others obviously felt the same way, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
"After discussing with the great elder, I decided to send the four of you, under the leadership of elder Jin Xiaochai, to represent the sect in this grand ceremony." Sure enough, the leader said so.
Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he felt a little excited.
As far as he knew, Da Qi and other three countries were located in remote areas of the Dongzhou Continent and were lacking in resources, far from being able to compare with the rich areas in the center of the continent.
Shi Mu had long been extremely envious of this and wanted to go take a look, but he never had the chance. Before he could, the opportunity was right in front of him.
Moning and the other three also looked overjoyed.
"Since it is the order of the Great Elder and Sect Leader, we will naturally obey it, but I don't know when to set off?" Shi Mu asked.
"It's still early for the Magic Sun Ceremony to be held, and the journey is long. It won't be too late for you to set off in two months. I called you here today mainly to inform you of this matter. You can make more preparations in advance." The great elder smiled lightly,
He spoke.
"Yes." Shi Mu and the four others agreed in unison.
The head of the Black Demon Sect gave Shi Mu and others a few more instructions, and then asked them to retreat together with Jin Xiaochai.
After a few people left, only the great elder and the head master were left in the hall.
"Great Elder, the Demon Yang Ceremony is an extremely rare opportunity. Isn't it inappropriate to only send Xiaochai, an innate disciple, and Shi Mu, who are the acquired Dzogchen Dzogchen, to go there?"
The leader hesitated for a moment before saying this, and then continued:
"Or, take one or two out of the four of Shi Mu and the others and replace them with young innate disciples like Gu Hu, Ning Ping and the others?"
"I have made up my mind, let's decide on the candidate." The great elder said slowly.
"Yes." The leader quickly agreed and left.
After the leader left, the great elder looked outside the hall, his eyes as calm as water, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
Shi Mu walked out of the main hall, greeted Qian Xiong, Bai Shuixiu and others, and then headed towards his cave.
"Shi Mu!"
The golden shadow flashed, and Jin Xiaochai's figure instantly appeared in front of Shi Mu, blocking his way.
Shi Mu was startled and stopped hurriedly. However, the distance between the two was extremely close. He was walking so fast that he almost bumped into Jin Xiaochai, and he could smell an alluring light fragrance in his nose.
Shi Mu had a helpless smile on his face and took a step back.
Moning and the other three glanced at Shi Mu and Jin Xiaochai, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Then the three of them accelerated their pace in unison, and their figures quickly disappeared into the distance.
Shi Mu glanced at the backs of the three of them, moved the corners of his mouth twice, and finally turned into a sigh and said:
"I wonder if Elder Jin asked me to stay here. What's his instruction?"
Jin Xiaochai didn't answer, touched his chin, and looked Shi Mu up and down.
"You haven't taken the Qianyuan Pill I gave you yet, have you?" Jin Xiaochai suddenly frowned and said.
"The Qianyuan Pill is a magical elixir for breaking through the innate bottleneck. I am still a little behind in my cultivation, so I won't be able to use it until some time later. Speaking of which, I have to thank Elder Jin for the gift of such a precious elixir."
Shi Mu nodded, then changed the topic and saluted Jin Xiaochai to express his gratitude.
"Then when are you going to try to break through the innate bottleneck?" Jin Xiaochai asked with a gloomy face after hearing this.
"I originally planned to spend some more time and try to break through after two or three months. But now that I have to go to Tianmo Sect, I'm afraid the breakthrough will have to come after that." Shi Mu was a little surprised that Jin Xiaochai would ask about his cultivation progress, but still
Answered honestly.
"It's really unpleasant for someone with a congenital bottleneck to be struggling like this!" After hearing this, Jin Xiaochai's face suddenly turned cold and he said angrily.
Shi Mu didn't expect Jin Xiaochai's sudden change of expression, and was a little stunned for a moment.
"I thought you were a man of some ability, but I didn't expect you to act like a mother-in-law. Forget it, I shouldn't have expected anything from you in the first place..." Jin Xiaochai glared at Shi Mu and ignored him angrily.
He turned around and walked towards the other side of the hall.
Shi Mu looked at Jin Xiaochai's back and felt a little confused. He didn't know where he provoked this woman.
He thought about it for a moment, but still felt a little confused. He shook his head and walked down the mountain.
In the following time, Shi Mu politely rejected all the sect's senior officials and forces who came to try to win him over. In addition to practicing Yun Shen Shu, he has been studying the "Mysterious Talisman" in the cave.
One day half a month later.
Shi Mu stood solemnly beside the stone table in the secret room. Several stacks of animal skin talisman papers were neatly placed on the table, with French ink and French brushes placed aside.
These animal skin talismans were exactly what he had brought back from the wilderness. One of the stacks of black animal skins was made from the small piece of three-headed python skin.
According to his estimation, the power of an intermediate talisman made from the skins of three ferocious pythons with mid-level Xiantian cultivation is even equivalent to that of a high-level talisman.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, his eyes lit up with a layer of golden light, and then he took out one of the three vicious python skin talismans and carefully laid it out on the table.
He picked up the Dharma brush in his right hand and dipped it in Dharma ink. He held a metallic spiritual stone in his left hand and started drawing at an extremely slow speed.
At this time, Shi Mu was drawing the Golden Gang Talisman, a mid-level talisman focused on defense, which could be regarded as an advanced version of the Golden Armor Talisman.
…
Ten days later, all the animal skin talismans, including the three python skins, were consumed, and most of them were damaged in the process of making the talismans.
Among them, there are eight intermediate-level talismans made from the skins of three ferocious pythons, including five Luoteng talismans for controlling enemies and three golden Gang talismans.
There are more than twenty intermediate-level talismans made of ordinary animal skins, but all of them have been made into intermediate-level fire attribute attack talismans, such as the Fire Spear Talisman.
At this time, Shi Mu's face looked a little tired. He looked at the more than thirty mid-level talismans on the table and felt slightly relieved.
The journey to the central area of the mainland is long and there are many difficulties and obstacles along the way. Now that I have these talismans with me, I finally have a little more protection.
With a wave of his hand, he put all the talismans into the Chenmiao Ring, and then walked towards the only stone bed in the secret room.
Shi Mu fell down on the stone bed and soon fell asleep.
A few hours later.
Shi Mu stood up and sat cross-legged on the stone bed.
After pondering for a while, he closed his eyes again, and the "Red Ape Fire Sutra" immediately appeared in his mind, and he began to meditate on it silently.
Half an hour later, Shi Mu opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked thoughtful.
The Red Ape Fire Sutra is far more sophisticated than he imagined. This technique is divided into twelve levels, and every three levels is a realm. When you reach the seventh level, you can enter the innate realm, and the highest level can be cultivated to the earth level.
Each level of improvement in this skill will cause some changes in the practitioner's physical body, increasing his sensitivity to the fire-attribute elements in the world and increasing his ability to perform fire-attribute martial arts.
In this regard, he vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to the attribute spiritual root of a warlock.
After you reach the seventh level of this skill, you can learn an innate martial skill called "Seven Killing Stick Techniques", which is the reason why you create the Meteor Short Stick. After reaching the tenth level, you can also learn an innate martial skill called "Hun Shu
The martial arts of "Original True Fire".
It's just that to practice this technique, you need to use the Fire Spirit Land and take a large amount of Zhiyang elixir.
He heard Zhao Ping from the blacksmith shop accidentally mention Huolingdi. It is said that it is in the valley behind the No. 3 Peak. It is a place used by the sect to refine some special elixirs and magic weapons. It is only for Class B disciples and above.
Only with your identity can you be qualified to use it.
Thinking of this, Shi Mu stood up and when he came to the door of the secret room, the prohibition token in his hand flashed, and a black light opened a stone door.
"Rumble!" There was a sound of moving rocks.
The stone door of the secret room opened with a bang, and Shi Mu walked out in a flash. His bedroom was outside.
At this time, there was another sound of moving rocks behind him, and the mountain wall returned to its original state in an instant, with no gaps visible.
Shi Mu walked straight out of the cave and walked down the mountain without stopping.
When he returned to the cave again an hour later, Chen Miao's ring already contained thirty more Sun-Gathering Pills, which was the most common Sun-Gathering Pill.
After calling Cai'er back and giving some instructions, he turned around and left the cave again.
