"The Nine-turn Mysterious Art Book is one of the three great powers of creation in the Holy Land and needs to be exchanged with me. As for the third-turn formula, it requires 10,000 Mysterious Spirit Points..." The tower spirit did not stop fading, but before disappearing, it was still
Answered Shi Mu's question.
"Ten thousand Mysterious Spirit Points..." Shi Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and rolled down his cheeks.
Since the tower spirit's last voice was almost silent and he was a little distracted, he didn't hear clearly how many mysterious spirit points were needed for the fourth level.
But for him now, it actually doesn't make much sense.
Shi Mu shook his head and reached out to wipe the sweat off his face. Although he was shocked, he also felt a little relieved.
The third-turn formula alone requires so many Mysterious Spirit Points that it is impossible for ordinary disciples to exchange them. Even thousand-year disciples may only be able to exchange for the first three levels at most, and if they do this, they may not be able to do anything else.
Shi Mu looked at the Book of Eighteen Sticks, his eyes flickering, and finally he gritted his teeth and waved the Xuanling Bi gently.
A ray of white light flew out, penetrated the restriction, and hit the Tongtian Cudgel Book.
The white light of the Xuanling Bi circulated, and the number of Xuanling points on it instantly decreased by ninety-five points.
The jade slip of the Eighteen-Tian Cudgel Classic flashed and flew directly out of the restriction, landing in Shi Mu's hands.
Shi Mu looked at the jade slip in his hand and sighed, with a complicated expression. He did not look through it immediately, but turned around and flew towards the exit.
After he left the Shengdian Pavilion, he went straight out of the Xuanling Pagoda, then released Cai'er, launched the green-winged flying boat, and flew towards his cave, and returned to the cave a short time later.
"Huh……"
His eyes flashed, and the door of the cave was now wide open. Several of his attendants were standing outside the door, with bruised and swollen faces, looking sad, as if they had been beaten.
Shi Mu's face darkened and he flew down.
"Great, Master of the Palace, and Mr. Cai, you are back! A group of people just came here and broke into the cave without any explanation." When several attendants saw Shi Mu falling, they looked overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.
Coming up, Qi Feng was among the crowd and said loudly.
"Who is so bold as to dare to break into the mansion..." Cai'er heard the words and shouted, but halfway through her words, Shi Mu glared at her and made her neck shrink, and she swallowed the rest of the words.
"Tell me slowly, who are these people here?" Shi Mu turned his head and narrowed his eyes as he said.
In the Holy Land, breaking into other people's caves without the permission of the cave owner is a very provocative act.
"They are the same people who came to beg Leng Cuihuan last time, but this time Zhao Chenlei came in person." Qi Feng said in a low voice.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed coldly, he snorted coldly, and strode towards the gate of the cave.
Upon seeing this, Qi Feng and others looked at each other and guarded the door.
At this moment, in the cave hall, a tall and thin young man sat carelessly on a stone chair.
This man looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a hooked nose and deep-set eyes, flashing a cold light from time to time, making him look very sinister.
There were several people standing beside the sinister young man, one of them was none other than Zhao Sanbao, with a flattering look on his face at the moment.
"Three Leopards, are you sure you have inquired clearly?" the Yin Xiao young man said.
"Palace Master, this is absolutely true. I have personally inquired with several new disciples who entered the Holy Land together with that Shi Mu. At that time, Shi Mu was indeed only at the early stage of the Earth Level. He should have just successfully advanced to the level recently.
"Zhao Sanbao said.
"It is indeed a bit incredible to pass the entry examination with an initial level of cultivation." The Yin Xiao young man murmured to himself.
"I guess this Shi Mu got lucky in the entrance examination. He ranked thirty-fifth in the examination and barely squeezed into the ranks of upper-level disciples. But after all, this kid is just a human being, and there is no way he can compare with you, Palace Master."
Zhao Sanbao said flatteringly.
"Humph, that's natural! But San Bao, your cultivation level is also at the early stage of the Earth Level, and you are from the Flying Leopard clan. You should be no weaker than this human boy. Why do you bother me to go there myself?" The Yin Xiao young man snorted.
, said.
"No matter how you describe this person, he is a high-ranking disciple of the Holy Land in name only. I treated him politely and explained his purpose, but not only did he not show respect, but his words and attitude were arrogant. I was afraid of causing trouble to you, Palace Master, so I did not take action this time.
You are here in person, just say a word, does Shi Mu dare to hand over Leng Cuihuan obediently?" Zhao Sanbao rolled his eyes and said.
He didn't tell Zhao Chenlei about the fact that he was easily thrown out by Shi Mu last time. He encouraged Zhao Chenlei to come over this time with the intention of taking the opportunity to take revenge.
Zhao Chenlei snorted and said no more.
At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside.
Dong Dong...
The footsteps were as heavy as mountains, and the ground trembled slightly.
The sinister young man's expression changed slightly, with a trace of solemnity on his face as he looked outside.
The figure flashed, and Shi Mu's tall figure appeared outside the hall, almost blocking all the light outside. Several people in the hall instantly had the illusion that the entire sky was covered by this figure.
The sinister young man's pupils shrank, his face became serious, and he slowly stood up.
"Your Excellency, it seems that he is Zhao Chenlei. It is so majestic to forcefully break into Shi's cave like this!" Shi Mu looked at Zhao Chenlei and said.
"How dare you, who are you? You dare to call the master of my palace by his name!" Zhao Sanbaohu shouted in a fake tone.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed coldly and he looked at Zhao Sanbao.
Zhao Sanbao's expression changed, as if he had been stabbed through the chest by a knife and a gun, his arrogance suddenly weakened, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and hid behind Zhao Chenlei.
"This servant of mine has a deviant attitude, which makes Pastor Shi laugh." Zhao Chenlei said with a smile.
"Your Excellency entered the Holy Land earlier than Shi. You should know the rules better than Shi. Today, you led people to break into my cave and injured my attendant. If you don't give me an explanation, you can't just let this matter go!
Shi Mu said without moving his expression at all.
"Haha, there's no need to be angry, Junior Brother Shi. We originally came to visit you today, but after waiting outside for a long time and not seeing you come back, we went to sit inside without permission. Some of my subordinates were impatient and had a fight with your attendants.
Conflict, this matter is my fault. You guys, slap your hands three times and admit your mistake to Junior Brother Shi." Zhao Chenlei first smiled faintly, then his face darkened, and he shouted to Zhao Sanbao and others.
The expressions of Zhao Sanbao and others changed, as if they did not expect Zhao Chenlei to say this at all, and could not help but hesitate.
Zhao Chenlei's eyes turned cold and he glanced at several people.
The faces of several people changed, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They ran out quickly and gave a big salute to Shi Mu. Then without any hesitation, they slapped their mouths three times. The blows were quite heavy, and bloodshot eyes flowed from the corners of their mouths.
"Master Shi, we have offended a lot just now, please forgive me." Zhao Sanbao and others said.
Shi Mu frowned. He didn't expect that Zhao Chenlei would do this in front of everyone. If he continued to pursue the case, he would appear to be too petty.
"Since you have admitted your mistake, go and admit your mistake to those who were beaten by you outside, and forget about it." Shi Mu waved his hand and said.
Zhao Sanbao's body stiffened, and a strange light flashed in his eyes with his head lowered.
Shi Mu was powerful and tyrannical, so it was okay for him to bow to him, but the servants outside had never put him in their eyes regardless of his strength and status. It would be a shame and a great humiliation for him to bow to those weaklings and admit his mistakes.
"Why are you still standing there? Don't you understand what Palace Master Shi is saying? Why don't you go quickly!" Zhao Chenlei's voice rang again.
Thoughts were rolling in Zhao Sanbao's mind, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, but in the end, his fear of Zhao Chenlei prevailed, and he turned around and walked outside.
Seeing Zhao Sanbao like this, several other people also followed him out.
After a while, several people left dejectedly.
Shi Mu released his consciousness and knew that the few of them outside had indeed bowed their heads to Qi Feng and others and admitted their mistake.
"In that case, the trespassing incident of several people has been revealed." He nodded and said.
"Haha, thank you, Junior Brother Shi, for your magnanimity." Zhao Chenlei's pupils shrank slightly, and then he laughed.
"Senior Brother Zhao came to visit today, what do you want?" Shi Mu sat down and asked.
"Haha, it's not a big deal. It's just about Junior Brother Shi's attendant Leng Cuihuan. I think Junior Brother Shi already knows that this woman owes me a huge debt, but she has been hiding in Junior Brother Shi's cave without any trace of her.
To repay the debt, we have no choice but to come and ask for it," Zhao Chenlei said.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and said: "About this girl, I told this Zhao Sanbao last time. Now that Leng Cuihuan has been assigned to work in my cave by the Holy Land, if you want to settle accounts with her,
, please wait until she leaves here."
When Zhao Chenlei heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
"The so-called repayment of debts is a matter of course. Does Junior Brother Shi really care about a mere Leng Cuihuan, regardless of my friendship as a disciple of the Holy Land?" Zhao Chenlei said in a calm tone.
"I don't dare, but since Leng Cuihuan is from here, I can't just sit back and do nothing about her affairs." Shi Mu said lightly.
Zhao Chenlei's face darkened, his pupils shrank, and two dazzling silver lights suddenly lit up in his eyes, stabbing towards Shi Mu.
Shi Mu's face was not surprised at all, his eyes glowed with golden light, and two rays of substantial golden light flew out, colliding with two rays of silver light.
There was a crackling sound!
The gold and silver rays of light collided, both shattered, a ripple appeared in the space, and a circle of invisible waves spread towards the surroundings.
There was a flash of red light on Shi Mu's body, which offset the invisible fluctuations.
A layer of silver light appeared on Zhao Chenlei's body, and his body shook for a moment before blocking the invisible wave.
However, Zhao Sanbao and the others were shaken by this invisible dispersion, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back. Blood flowed from their facial features.
Fortunately, this invisible wave only had one wave, and several people recovered quickly.
Zhao Chenlei's face changed slightly. Although he had just tested it a little bit, Shi Mu's strength far exceeded his expectations.
