Several golden runes appeared in the sky in front of the trial platform, and these runes formed a talisman.
The first time he saw this rune, Li Mu had some doubts in his heart.
Because he had never seen this talisman before.
During his time in the Talisman Sect, Li Mu has learned all the common basic Talismans, and he can be sure that this Talisman is not like anything he has ever seen.
The testers on the other platforms also had stunned expressions on their faces.
"What kind of talisman is this?"
"How come I've never seen it before?"
"How to draw a talisman that I have never seen before?"
…
At this time, Elder Xu's voice could be heard, "Those who successfully draw this talisman within two hours can pass the third level and enter the final trial."
Countless talisman papers and cinnabar flew from outside the platform again. This time, there were a hundred talisman papers.
This Talisman Trial seemed different from the past. Li Mu looked up at the golden runes above and somewhat understood the purpose of the Talisman Sect.
The first two levels of the trial test the basic skills of the trialist, and the third trial tests the talent of the trialist.
Those common talismans, even those with little talent, can be skillfully drawn after a long period of practice, tens of thousands of times. Passing the first two levels only shows that they have solid basic skills in exorcism talismans, and it does not mean they can
Explain what.
But for a new talisman, the result is different.
Those with outstanding talent in Talisman Dao may be able to master it in a few hours.
For people with average talent, it will take several days, or even ten days and a half.
This talisman is not among all the talisman books that Li Mu has seen. It should be a new talisman created by the Talisman Sect.
I don’t know the talisman I have never seen before, the order in which the runes are written, and the strength of the magic power when writing the talisman. I need to try them one by one.
Li Mu picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and then put pen to paper.
He finished drawing the runes in one go, but the mana was not sealed in the runes, which meant that he failed.
"The mana cannot be poured in because the order of writing the runes is wrong." Li Mu thought for a moment, picked up the pen again, and changed the order of writing the runes, but still failed to seal the mana.
Li Mu lowered his head, looked at the scrapped talisman paper, and said in his heart: "During the last two strokes, the mana leaked out. The input mana was too strong, exceeding the upper limit of the talisman. Try again..."
On the main peak square, an elder kept staring at Li Mu and said, "He has failed twice."
Another elder said: "Normally, even if you and I get a new talisman in our hands, it is impossible to succeed in one go. It will take many attempts. However, this talisman is not complicated. If they really have the talent for talismans,
, two hours is enough. If it exceeds two hours, even if you can succeed, your future achievements will be very limited..."
He looked at Elder Xu and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, do you think he can succeed?"
Elder Xu shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but if he really wins this trial, it will be a big problem..."
At this moment, if he doesn't know yet, what Li Mu calls "a little understanding" and what he understands as a "slight understanding" are not a little understanding at all, and he is not worthy of being an elder of the main peak.
Judging from Li Mu's performance in the first two trials, he is definitely not a newbie in Fu Dao.
As for the third level, he only failed twice before he found the correct order of the talismans. As long as he tries a few more times, he will soon be able to find the critical point of mana and the talismans will be successful.
In this way, he can immediately enter the fourth and final level of the trial.
This seems to be getting closer to his plan to "seize power" from the Fu Lu Sect.
Elder Xu only thought it was an unrealistic joke at the time. It wasn't until he saw Li Mu overcoming obstacles in the Fu Dao trial that he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
He couldn't be serious, could he?
As soon as this worry arose in Elder Xu's mind, a ray of light swept across the picture above his head, and the main peak square was immediately in an uproar.
"Appeared!"
"Who is so fast? This is a new talisman just designed by the master. No one can know it in advance."
"I can't see his face clearly, why is it a mass of fog?"
"Isn't this the fastest person in the first and second levels?"
…
Li Mu couldn't hear the discussion of everyone in the main peak square. In his seventh experiment, he finally succeeded in sealing the magic power into the talisman paper and drew this nameless talisman.
When he was extremely calm and without any fluctuations in his heart, the book talisman was absolutely invincible.
He already had some doubts in his heart, whether in another world, Qingxinjue existed just for the purpose of writing talismans.
The moment he finished drawing the talisman and put down his brush, the stone platform beside him picked him up, flew off the platform, and landed on another mountain peak.
Shitai put him down and returned along the original path.
Elder Xu stood on the mountain peak, looked at Li Mu with complicated eyes, and said with cupped hands: "Congratulations, Mr. Li, for being the first to complete the first three levels of the trial."
Li Mu returned the favor and said politely: "Lucky, lucky..."
He looked at Elder Xu and asked, "What is the fourth level?"
Elder Xu pointed forward and said: "This is the fourth level."
Li Mu looked in the direction he pointed and saw only rows of stone steps extending deep into the clouds and mist.
Elder Xu said: "This fourth level is not only a test for the trial, but also a blessing for the trial. As for how much you can benefit from this level, it depends on the strength of each trial..."
Li Mu was unsure and asked: "Creation?"
Elder Xu said: "You will know when you walk up the stone steps."
Li Mu stepped up the first stone steps, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He appeared in a strange world. He looked around and saw everything was white. In front of him, there was a table with paper on it.
Pen cinnabar.
A familiar talisman floated in front of the table.
Another talisman to ward off evil spirits.
Obviously, this was another level for him to draw the talisman.
Li Mu almost vomited while drawing the exorcism charm today, but he could only endure his nausea. He picked up the pen and drew an exorcism charm in just a few breaths. The scene in front of him disappeared and he returned to the steps again.
Li Mu walked up the next level and appeared in the white world again.
This time, a brand new talisman appeared in front of his eyes.
Find the demon talisman.
Every step here seems to correspond to a talisman. After Li Mu drew the demon-seeking talisman, when he walked to the third step, he saw the calming talisman.
Just as he guessed, the first level tested basic skills, the third level tested talent, and the fourth level tested basic skills and talent together.
Every step has only one chance. Every step must be taken carefully. If a talisman is drawn incorrectly, this talisman trial will end here.
Even Li Mu did not dare to be careless and treated every level of talisman extremely seriously.
When Li Mu walked up about ten steps, many people had already passed the third level and landed under the mountain peak.
Someone walks up the steps. After climbing a few steps, his body will be teleported out and he will stand aside with a disappointed look on his face.
Even a master of talismans cannot guarantee success every time he writes a talisman. No matter how careful he is, he still makes a mistake on the sixth talisman.
This fourth level is really too difficult.
But he didn't give up completely, because others might not do better than him, and he still had a chance.
He stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the figure who had already walked up a dozen steps, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Before coming to the Fu Lu Sect, he thought he was also a genius in Fu Dao. After passing three levels in a row, his confidence increased greatly, and he thought that if he worked hard, he might have a chance to become a core disciple.
However, just after entering the fourth level, he suffered a major blow.
The figure on the stone steps of the mountain road gave him a profound insight into the differences between people.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people passed the third level. Until two hours later, on the trial platform, the trialists who had not yet understood the talisman lost their chance forever.
At this time, there were less than a hundred people under this mountain peak.
In the third trial, 90% of the test takers were eliminated.
After only three levels of the trial of 6,000 people, there were only two figures left. Among these people, there are still dozens of people who will be eliminated in the fourth level.
They have learned the rules of this level from the testers who have participated in the fourth level. They estimate in their minds how many steps they can reach. Sometimes they look up at the figure in the front and curse the monster in their mouths.
.
On the stone steps, Li Mu has walked the forty-third step, which means that he has accurately drawn forty-three talismans.
He stayed on this step for half a quarter of an hour without taking another step forward.
The world of spiritual practice divides talismans into four levels: heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow. Each level has three levels: upper, middle, and lower. There are four levels and twelve levels in total. With Li Mu's current magic power, he can only draw the highest level of the xuan level.
Talisman, earth-level talisman, even if it is a low-grade earth-level talisman, it requires at least a fifth-level cultivation level to draw it.
The last talisman he drew was a high-grade Xuan-level talisman. The next step was probably an Earth-level talisman. With his magic power, it was impossible to draw it.
Li Mu looked back and found that the people below were only at ten levels at most. It was almost impossible to maintain level thirty without making any mistakes.
Now he has actually won.
However, Li Mu still wanted to try, but at most he would fail and be teleported down the mountain.
But before that, he needs to rest for a while to recover his mana.
He drew more than forty talismans in succession, almost draining his magic power. Not even the donkeys in the workshop dared to work so hard.
If it weren't for that talisman that he was bound to get, he would have given up when he reached level 30.
The more levels you go up, the more insurance you will get.
He sat cross-legged on the stone steps, meditating and adjusting his breath to restore his magic power.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Mu suddenly noticed movement coming from beside him.
He opened his eyes and saw a young man walking up to the forty-third step where he was. The young man glanced at him lightly and said, "Hey, let's go."
Li Mu was shocked. This person was obviously a practitioner who participated in the trial. He actually reached the forty-third level...
As expected, no one should underestimate the world's heroes. No one knows better than him how difficult it is to get here from the first level. If it weren't for the Pure Heart Art, Li Mu might have stopped long ago.
The man walked to the middle of the forty-third step, closed his eyes, and opened his eyes again after dozens of breaths.
Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. The fact that he was still standing here without being teleported meant that he had already drawn the talisman of the forty-third level.
The man didn't even look at Li Mu and walked straight up the next step.
After a while, he opened his eyes again and stepped up to the forty-fifth step.
…
Above the main peak square.
Many disciples and elders had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"In previous years, it was an accident to reach level 20. This year, there are actually two people who can reach level 40!"
"Who is that person who came up from behind? He looks so young..."
"His time for each level is shorter than the first person..."
"I wonder which level he will eventually reach?"
…
In the Dao Palace on the main peak, several leaders and the headmaster of the Fulu Sect also had a picture in front of them. Above the picture was the scene on the stone steps.
At this time, Li Mu, whose whole body was covered by fog, stayed on the 43rd level.
The young man had already reached the forty-seventh level.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at the figure in the front and said, "There is something wrong with this person."
The leader of the Fulu Sect passed the Xuanguang Technique. He looked at the man in front. A golden light flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him for now."
He looked at Li Mu with admiration in his eyes and said, "Li Mu really surprised me."
Xuan Zhenzi nodded, with a strange look in his eyes, and said: "It's not just an accident, it's unbelievable. If I could turn back time, I would capture him even if I kidnap him. In him, there is hope for the great success of our Talisman Sect..."
Zhengyangzi looked at the person in the front and said: "I don't know who is so bold and dares to come to my Baiyun Mountain to cause trouble. If he makes trouble like this, won't this Talisman Dao trial become a joke?"
The headmaster of the Fu Lu Sect looked at Li Mu with a smile on his face and said, "That may not be..."
On the forty-third step, Li Mu looked ahead, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.
