Shi Mu frowned slightly when he heard the discussion behind him.
It was not his intention to be in the limelight, but it was a pity that Wanfa Pavilion could only take on one mission at a time, otherwise he would simply take on ten missions at once, and he would not be so conspicuous.
Shi Mu handed over the mission, quickly came to the mission stone wall, took another mission, and then left Wanfa Pavilion.
In the next three or four months, Shi Mu visited Wanfa Pavilion frequently and completed each sect task with an extremely astonishing efficiency.
Although he tried to keep a low profile every time and left immediately after accepting the task without staying at all, it had already caused a commotion among his disciples.
Some senior senior disciples also gradually heard about Shi Mu, a mission maniac, and came over to see him.
However, after Shi Mu completed the tenth task, he never appeared in Wanfa Pavilion again, which disappointed many people who wanted to continue watching the fun.
As the competition approached, the attention of these disciples gradually shifted to the competition, and the commotion caused by Shi Mu gradually subsided.
…
One day five months later, in the side hall of Tianbao Pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, it's been such a long time!" said the fat steward.
"The shopkeeper, you're all right. I'm here this time to sell some spiritual materials." Shi Mu said straight to the point.
When the fat steward heard this, his eyes lit up.
Shi Mu didn't talk nonsense. With a flick of his sleeves, a demon elixir emitting green crystal light, a green grass with four young leaves and three red fist-sized stones appeared on the round table.
above.
These are some of the spiritual materials he received while completing his sect tasks in the past half year.
"That's it. Please give me a price from the shopkeeper." Shi Mu said.
The fat shopkeeper walked to the table, picked up the three items one by one, observed them carefully for a while, and then said:
"This Earth Armored Beast Demonic Pill is complete in appearance, and its demonic power has not leaked at all. It is of the highest value and is worth fifteen top-quality spiritual stones. Although this four-leaf dogwood is rare in the outside world, it can only be regarded as average in this Tongliufang.
, let’s just count five top-grade spiritual stones. As for the Lietong Stone, one top-grade spiritual stone is priced at the market price. There are twenty-three top-grade spiritual stones in total. Fellow Taoist Stone, what do you think?"
"Just do as you say." Shi Mu said.
"Okay, it's a pleasure to do business with fellow Taoist Shi, so I'll send someone to get the spirit stones for you." The fat shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Then there's shopkeeper Lao. By the way, on the way here just now, I saw a lot of people in this market. I've never seen such a grand event before. What's going on?" Shi Mu asked.
"Haha, how long has it been since you, Taoist Fellow Shi, came to Tongliufang?" The fat steward heard this and asked.
"To be honest, I haven't been here for seven or eight years," Shi Mu replied.
"It's no wonder. Fellow Daoist Shi, do you still remember that the price of extremely yin energy and heavenly beast essence and blood skyrocketed back then?" said the fat steward.
"Oh, could it have something to do with this matter?" Shi Mu's heart moved and he asked calmly.
"That's very relevant! This is also the information that I finally got after asking around in many places. It turns out that the soul-clearing lamp that was extinguished that year was an important figure in the Holy Land who practiced the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique to the level of Dacheng thousands of years ago. It is said that he was
He is one of the direct disciples of the Holy Ancestor! As one of the three great magical powers of creation, this Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique is extremely powerful once it is mastered! However, due to some special reasons, once someone reaches the realm of Dacheng, the power of the others will be lost.
All the skills will be absorbed by it and become a useless person." The fat shopkeeper came closer to Shi Mu and said mysteriously.
"Is this happening?" Shi Mu pretended to be surprised.
"Yes! So when the soul-piercing lamp of this big man is extinguished, opportunities for others will naturally come. Therefore, the materials related to practicing this technique will naturally increase. Many hundred-year disciples and thousand-year disciples who were originally unable to retreat have
They all left the customs and went out to look for those materials!" said the fat shopkeeper.
"Really? Although this technique is powerful, I am afraid that less than one person in a thousand can master it, and the rest will be reduced to useless people. Do so many people really practice such a wicked sect?" Shi Mu asked again.
"Hey, our Qinglan Holy Land has gathered many talented disciples from the entire Miyang Star Territory, including many from big families. Naturally, we will not give up such a great opportunity. Otherwise, how could these spiritual materials have increased so much? It is said that they have been around for many thousands of years.
I secretly exchanged this mysterious skill with my Wannian disciple and practiced it secretly." The fat steward said confidently.
"Oh, I wonder if the rumor mentioned which disciples are practicing this mysterious skill?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked again.
"This...I don't know for sure." Hearing this, the fat steward shook his head and said.
"Shopkeeper, the information in Tianbao Pavilion is so well-informed. If you don't know it, I'm afraid no one in Tongliufang knows about it." Shi Mu said, taking out a bag of spiritual stones from the storage ring and handing it over.
"I really don't know who among these thousand-year disciples and ten-thousand-year disciples have exchanged the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique for practicing secretly." After the fat steward took the spirit stone, he looked happy, but then he looked embarrassed.
Said lustfully.
After hearing this, Shi Mu was somewhat disappointed.
"But... I know very well who among these hundreds of disciples has practiced this mysterious skill." The fat steward suddenly changed the subject and said.
When Shi Mu heard this, he was shocked. His hands under the table subconsciously clenched his fists, and then quickly released them. The expression on his face did not change much.
"Who is that?" Shi Mu asked.
"Actually, I'm not the only one who knows. Many people in Qinglan Holy Land know that that person is Zhao Ji who entered the Holy Land in the same class as you." The fat steward replied.
"It turns out it's him." Shi Mu felt relieved when he heard this.
"Originally, everyone thought that because the time limit for entry was too short and the demand for Xuanling points was high, it would be impossible for anyone among the hundred-year-old disciples to practice the Nine Transformations Xuan Gong. However, no one expected that such a strange person as Zhao Ji existed.
"The fat steward continued.
"As far as I know, this Zhao Ji is extremely talented and cannot be judged by common sense. He just practices the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique. This should be an extremely secret matter. How could he make it so that almost everyone knows about it now?
Shi Mu asked doubtfully.
"This is really a coincidence. It is said that three years ago, when Zhao Ji was out on a mission, he accidentally encountered a celestial monster. When fighting with it, he was forced into a desperate situation, so he used
Nine-turn Xuan Gong killed the monster beast. However, this matter was accidentally discovered by several old disciples who were originally tracking and hunting the monster beast. This matter was revealed. It is said that this boy has already
I have completed the first round of Xuan Gong and have started practicing the second round." The fat steward replied.
"I see. It's really not easy to practice this technique to the second level!" Shi Mu sighed after hearing this.
"Hey, the so-called wood that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! It is said that ever since Zhao Ji was discovered to be practicing the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique, he has been attacked by unknown people several times inside and outside the Holy Land. Although he was saved in the end,
It's really thrilling." The fat steward said.
Shi Mu felt awe in his heart. Once Zhao Ji was exposed, he was attacked several times. It can be seen that in the Qinglan Holy Land, there are definitely not a few people who secretly practice the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique.
"The shopkeeper is busy with affairs in the pavilion, so I won't bother you anymore, so I'll take my leave." Shi Muchong handed over to the fat steward, and after a few words of greeting, he took the payment for the spiritual materials and left Tianbao Pavilion.
…
One day half a month later, in the extreme north of the Eastern Sacred Star, there was a vast ice field.
The sky was filled with silvery-gray lead clouds, and palm-sized snowflakes were falling one after another.
A tall, thin, green-haired man wearing a gray robe was standing in mid-air.
This man's face is extremely strange. There are no eyebrows in front of his smooth forehead. There is only one vertical eye in the middle of the forehead. There is no raised nose bridge under the eyes. There are only two round holes, and under the round hole there are
A big mouth full of sharp teeth.
This person's entire body was wrapped in dark cyan light. As soon as the snowflakes in the sky fell into the cyan light, they immediately turned into an ice cone and fell to the ground.
"Child Zhao Ji, please stop hiding here and there, come out and die!" The green-haired man opened his mouth wide, and the voice he made was as hoarse and unpleasant as a night owl.
However, in this world, the only thing that responded to him was the sound of howling wind and snow.
I saw the one eye of the green-haired man turning around, and suddenly a green light as thick as an arm shot out from it, scanning towards the snow-covered ice field below him.
At this moment, in a low-lying area on the ice sheet, the white snow surface suddenly sank for no reason.
"Hey, I found you!" The green-haired man turned his one eye, and instantly locked onto that spot, and said with a sinister smile.
I saw the blue light on his body suddenly surged, with a powerful and unparalleled momentum, expanding in all directions, and the cultivation of the heavenly realm was clearly visible.
The falling snow in the sky was swept away by this green light, and suddenly froze into ice cones as thick as fingers, and flew in all directions.
At this moment, the green-haired man clasped one hand in front of his chest, muttered something in his mouth, and heard a mysterious spell.
As the spell sounded, countless streams of blue air swirled towards his clenched palm.
After a moment, the green-haired man stopped reciting the incantation, and the hand he had collected on his chest suddenly stretched forward.
"Ouch..."
Hearing a roar from the green-haired man's mouth, his clenched fist suddenly opened, and a stream of dark blue air entrenched in his palm suddenly shot out.
As soon as the dark cyan airflow was released, it suddenly enlarged in the air, forming a cyan dragon shadow in mid-air, twisting and twisting towards the low-lying area.
"boom"
There was a loud noise, and the snow in the low-lying area exploded in all directions, and countless crystal snow mist powder floated into the air.
The snow fog dissipated, and a huge hole suddenly appeared where the green dragon shadow was bombarded.
An unexpected scene appeared!
A silver-gray vortex appeared in that hole at some point, and the cyan dragon shadow was currently swimming and struggling in the vortex, and was being swallowed bit by bit by the vortex at a speed visible to the naked eye. (To be completed.)
