"This is the Millennium Disciple's attire. Please put it away. From today on, you are officially a Millennium Disciple," Elder Mo said.
"Thank you, elder." Shi Mu said.
"Give me your Xuanling Bi." Elder Mo said.
Shi Mu did not hesitate and immediately took out his Mysterious Spirit Bi and handed it to Elder Mo Lan.
He took the jade jade, observed it for a while, then stretched out two fingers and silently recited a mysterious mantra.
As the chanting sounded, Elder Mo Lan's fingertips lit up with a red light.
I saw him lightly tapping his finger on the jade wall, and the Xuanling Bi suddenly lit up with a burst of red light.
Shi Mu saw that the original red leaf in the jade jade shook and turned into two leaves.
The veins on it are clear, the leaves are full, and they look lifelike.
After the two red leaves appeared, Elder Mo Lan did not stop moving, but started carving on the Xuanling Bi with one hand like a knife.
His movements were smooth, as if he were holding a pen to draw. After a moment, he finished the painting and withdrew his right hand.
On the surface of the jade biscuit, a circular six-pointed star pattern has emerged, and a circle of crude runes are engraved around the pattern.
Looking at this scene, Ling Feng also had a look of surprise on his face.
"This is..." Shi Mu said with some confusion.
"This is the Millennium Boundary Seal, which is the certificate for free entry and exit into the second level area of the Holy Land." Elder Mo said.
Shi Mu took the Xuanling Bi and felt the special aura of the thousand-year world seal on the jade wall, and his heart suddenly felt happy.
"There is another thing. Since you have been practicing in the Yellow Level area for less than a hundred years, your century-old disciple status can also be retained. In addition, it is up to you to keep your original attendants. You can take them all to the Xuan Level area. However,
, your original spiritual land and cave must be taken back." Elder Mo said.
"Thank you, elder." Shi Mu said.
"No need to say thank you. Ling Feng, your temperament is too calm. Junior brothers have already surpassed you, so you should work harder." Elder Mo turned around and said to Ling Feng.
"Elder Mo, you also know that disciples of swordsmanship focus on cultivating their minds and should not be too hasty. It is not too late for disciples to wait ten or twenty years before entering the ranks of thousand-year disciples." Ling Feng spread his hands and said calmly.
"Haha, it's up to you. I'm also a lazy person, otherwise I wouldn't be so attached to you. Well, there should be a lot of things to deal with in Shi Mu's Mansion, so you can go back now." Elder Mo said
Then, he waved his hand.
"Yes, disciple, please retire." The two stood up and bowed.
After leaving the Xuanling Tower, the two of them said goodbye, then turned into two rays of light and flew towards their respective mansions.
As soon as Shi Mu returned to the mansion, he saw Qi Feng walking out of the doorway with his head sullen and worried, and almost bumped into him.
"Master, please forgive me." Qi Feng raised his head and saw Shi Mu, and bowed quickly and said.
"It doesn't matter. What are you going to do in such a hurry?" Shi Mu didn't care, but asked curiously.
"Reporting to the Lord of the Palace, I think that you have passed the test of the Illusion Demonic Way, and I am afraid that you will leave here soon and go to the second level of the Holy Land. Therefore, I ordered the servants in the palace in advance to transfer the mature spirits in the Spiritual Land.
The grass spirit materials have been collected and will be sent to Tongliu Fang for sale today. I will organize the financial funds of the mansion into a book as soon as possible and present it to the master of the mansion for your review." Qi Feng said this, but his face was a little sad.
Shi Mu saw it in his eyes, thought for a moment, and understood in his heart. It was expected that he was probably worried about how he would get along in the first floor of this holy land after Shi Mu left.
"Well, you did a good job. However, after you create a booklet with the money, you need to create another booklet with the servants in the house. When you go to the Xuanjie area, you can't miss anyone." Shi Mu said.
"Palace Master...you mean, can we follow you to the second floor?" Qi Feng's chubby body was trembling slightly, and he asked in disbelief.
"Go and do the things at hand first. When we get to the Xuanjie area, there are still many things for you to do." Shi Mu said with a smile.
"Yes." Qi Feng responded happily and walked out briskly.
…
Two days later.
In the hall of Shi Mu's mansion, several stewards headed by Qi Feng held a thick stack of account books in their hands, and they all stood aside with respectful expressions.
"I won't check the household accounts. You have done a good job over the years. Qi Feng just handles the details. I will take you to move to the second floor of the Holy Land tomorrow," Shi Mu ordered.
.
"Yes, Palace Master." Qi Feng and others said in unison.
At this moment, an attendant walked in quickly from outside the hall, bowed and said:
"Reporting to the Lord of the Palace, Lord Ma Long wants to see you."
"Ma Long? Bring her in." Shi Mu said.
After a while, Shi Mu saw Ma Long, dressed in fiery red clothes, walking through the courtyard with his younger brother Ma Lie.
"Brother Shi." Sister Ma Long and his brother took the lead in saluting.
"Sit down inside and talk." Shi Mu welcomed the two of them into the living room and said.
"Brother Shi, why haven't you seen your Cai'er?" After not seeing each other for a long time, Ma Lie asked Cai'er.
Shi Mu was stunned for a moment. Just when he was about to speak, he heard a cry from outside:
"Who is looking for Mr. Cai?"
As soon as they finished speaking, several people saw a plump and colorful parrot flying in from the outside, fluttering its wings and landing on Shi Mu.
"Cai'er, it's me." Ma Lie smiled.
"Are I familiar with you? Your name is Mr. Cai." The fat parrot said without giving any face, holding his head high.
The smile on Ma Lie's face stopped and he coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Cai'er, please stop teasing your brother-in-law." Seeing this, Ma Long quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Well, since Sister Ma said so, I won't argue with him." Compared to Ma Lie, Cai'er's attitude towards Ma Long was infinitely better.
After saying that, Cai'er flapped her wings and landed on Ma Long's shoulder. She said half-flatteringly, "Sister Ma, you are so beautiful today" while glancing at the storage ring in Ma Long's hand.
Ma Long smiled, flipped his wrist, and a top-quality spiritual stone appeared in his palm, and handed it to Cai'er's mouth.
Cai'er's eyes lit up, she immediately leaned over and took a peck, took the spirit stone into her mouth, and started chewing it.
When Shi Mu saw Cai'er's virtue, he couldn't help being speechless and said:
"Cai'er, where did you go just now?"
"Kaka...I'm going to Lingquan, kaka...we have to leave, and there are still some fire essences left...but we can't waste them." Cai'er was still chewing the spirit stone in her mouth, mumbling.
Qingdi replied.
"So, you are leading people to capture the fire spirits again?" Shi Mu asked.
"Gu...yeah, catch them all, not a single one is left." Cai'er swallowed the spirit stone and said proudly.
"What about the fire essence?" As soon as Shi Mu asked, he knew that he was wasting his time.
"It's all in my belly." Cai'er said, waving her wings and patting her round belly.
After hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
When the Ma Long siblings saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.
"By the way, I haven't asked Miss Ma yet, but what's the matter with you coming here this time?" Shi Mu looked at Ma Long and asked.
"I remember at the end of the ten-year competition, Brother Shi promised my little sister that if she needed help, she could come to him for help," Ma Long said.
"I did say, what? Miss Ma, is there anything you need my help with?" Shi Mu asked.
After hearing this, Ma Long did not speak immediately, but took a deep breath before speaking:
"I want to ask Brother Shi to agree to let us take Cai'er away. No matter what the price is, we are willing to pay it."
"Cai'er is nothing to me. I can't let you take it away." When Shi Mu heard this, he was stunned and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
Cai'er was also confused for a while, waving her wings, she flew back to Shi Mu's shoulder and said:
"Although I am born with a wise, mighty and extraordinary demeanor, which makes you admire me endlessly, I already have a master named Shitou, and I will not leave with you."
"Brother Shi, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it like that. Let me show you something first." Seeing that Shi Mu was a little angry, Ma Long said quickly.
After saying that, Ma Long took out a palm-sized red pebble from the storage ring, spread it out in the palm of his hand and showed it to Shi Mu.
"What is this?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This is a red flint stone containing the essence and blood of the sacred bird in our clan." Ma Long explained.
After saying that, a red light lit up in her palm.
After a moment, a drop of bright red blood was condensed by her and dripped on the red flint stone.
Just listen to the sound of "hoo".
A large flame burst out from the pebble in Ma Long's palm, and then floated leisurely in the air like a curtain of fire.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he saw a huge bird silhouette appearing in the red curtain of fire, looking up to the sky and letting out a loud cry.
He was stunned, and quickly turned back to look at Cai'er on his shoulder.
At this glance, he discovered that the phantom of the bird in the flames was very similar to Cai'er, as if it was Cai'er's appearance after being magnified dozens of times.
However, the momentum displayed by the phantom was completely incomparable to Cai'er.
"This is..." Shi Mu murmured.
"This is a sacred bird worshiped by our clan for generations. Cai'er should belong to the same lineage as it. In other words, Cai'er is most likely a descendant of the sacred bird in our clan." Ma Long explained.
Shi Mu looked back and forth between the shadow and Cai'er several times with a face full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that Cai'er had anything to do with the sacred bird.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that Cai'er, unlike her usual naughty appearance, was standing motionless on his shoulder, staring attentively at the phantom of the bird in the flames.
"In your opinion, do you want to take Cai'er back to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan?" Shi Mu asked seriously.
