Judging from the sloppy old man's reaction, Li Mu knew that he made the right bet.
All strong men in the sixth realm will eventually face a problem: longevity.
If their cultivation level is less than the upper three realms, their longevity cannot break through the limits of mortals. Two years, that is, one hundred and twenty years old, is the threshold of their life and death.
It would be fine if they were mortals. Although the lifespan of two Jiuzi is long enough, mortals cannot escape birth, old age, illness and death. Most people cannot survive even one Jiuzi, so naturally they will not encounter the situation of their lifespan being cut off.
But practitioners are different. The strong ones in the sixth realm, as long as they don't seek death like Master Qianhuan or the Netherworld Saint Lord, they will not fall easily. The only thing that can kill them is time.
A secret talisman can buy them ten years of life. In these ten years, as long as they break through to the seventh realm, they will immediately gain an extra sixty years of life.
Therefore, there is no need to envy these sixth realm, especially those at the peak of the sixth realm.
Even though they are so prominent in front of others, their lifespan may not be many years old. Although their cultivation level is not as high as theirs, from now on, they can live longer than them...
Li Mu looked at the sloppy old man and said: "The imperial court has always been generous with offerings. As long as you join the Enshrinement Department, I will guarantee that you will get a Tianji Talisman within a year."
Although the materials for the Tianji Talisman are precious, if the imperial court wants to scrape them together, they can still scrape together a few copies.
After the excitement just now, the old man had calmed down, glanced at Li Mu, and said: "Boy, don't lie to me. The Tianji Talisman is a holy-level Talisman. Even the old guys from the Talisman Sect can't draw it. You guys can't draw it."
In the Zhou court, who can draw the heavenly talisman?"
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Li Mu stretched out his hand and touched the void in front of him, and a shadow of a talisman filled with mysterious runes appeared in front of the old Taoist.
The talismans he once drew can be easily reproduced.
The old Taoist looked at the talisman in the picture, his eyes bursting with light, "Holy order? It's really a holy order..."
Then, his face was filled with a smile again, and he said: "To be honest, although I have been traveling for most of my life, I was born in Dazhou? I can be considered a citizen of Dazhou, so I should do something for Dazhou.
Yes, this worship department? I have entered..."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you are so righteous. Tomorrow morning, you can come directly to the Worship Department to report..."
After saying goodbye to the old man, Li Mu finally felt at ease.
After all, the Enshrinement Department is a place where strength speaks for itself. Without a super strong person in charge, Li Mu has no confidence to speak.
Speaking of which, exchanging a Tianji Talisman for a strong man at the peak of the sixth realm is a very cost-effective business.
It is a pity that the materials required for the holy talisman are very precious, and this talisman cannot be mass-produced. Otherwise, as long as the Queen declares to the world that any strong person in the sixth realm who joins the worship department will be given the Tianji Talisman. From now on, the Great Zhou Enshrinement Division will
Even the most powerful forces in the Ten Continents and Three Islands, the six sects and four sects, including the devil, cannot compete with them.
The Tianji Talisman is not only useful for the sixth realm, but also has the same effect on the strong ones in the seventh realm.
Although for those who are above the level of transcendence, the lifespan increased by the Tianji Talisman does not last that long, but every additional year of lifespan increases the hope of promotion.
Every time you advance to the upper three realms, your lifespan will increase by one Jiazi. If your bet is right, your lifespan will be extended to sixty years. Who can not be tempted by this?
As long as there are enough materials, the Queen can be on his body every few days, and with the help of her magical talismans, Li Mu is confident that he can build the Enshrinement Department into a nursing home for the super powerful people in the mainland.
Of course, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so Li Mu can only think about this plan at the moment.
Early the next morning, Li Mu came to the Enshrinement Department a quarter of an hour later than the normal office hours.
Inside the worship department, everything was quiet.
Except for the old man sweeping the floor, there was no one in the entire worship department.
Li Mu moved a chair and sat in the courtyard of the Worship Department.
The old man sweeping the floor followed Li Mu's instructions, took an incense burner, put incense, lit it, and placed it in the courtyard of the worship department.
Li Mu looked at the incense stick and said: "Tell them, if you don't come to the Enshrinement Department to report before this incense stick is burned out, you will be expelled from the Enshrinement Department, take back all the rewards given by the imperial court, and no longer enjoy the enshrinement benefits...
"
The old man walked out of the worship department and walked vigorously towards a nearby market.
Da'anfang.
There are more than a hundred cities and towns in Shendu, each with its own functions. Da'anfang is a residential area located in the core area of Shendu. Although it is a residential area, the people living in it are not ordinary people, officials, or dignitaries, but
Offerings solicited by the imperial court.
The priests, like the officials of the imperial court, received state salary and were treated better than the officials. Each of them had a house given by the imperial court, and the maids and servants at home were also provided.
In a certain house in Da'anfang, more than ten worshippers gathered together.
"If the time for a stick of incense is not enough, I will expel the worship department. Who are you trying to scare?"
"How can he explain to the court if he expels everyone from the Enshrinement Department?"
"No one came this morning. I'll see how he ends up!"
…
After some discussion, a few people decided to stay here.
In some other houses in the square, there were also people who looked hesitant.
"Do you want to go or not?"
"Li Mu is not someone to be trifled with. The Queen loves him so much. How many people have fallen into his hands? If he really drives us out, where will the resources for future cultivation come from?"
"How about forget it..."
"The Xiao family has not given us any benefits. There is no need for us to go against Li Mu..."
…
Li Mu was sitting in the courtyard of the worship department. From the time when the incense stick was halfway burning, worshipers came in one after another from outside the door. After bowing their hands to Li Mu, they returned to their respective rooms.
There were also some people standing outside the worship department, chatting and joking with the people around them.
They were all worshipers from the enshrinement department, but they did not come in. They glanced at the incense stick from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.
It wasn't until the last section of incense burned out that they walked into the worship department.
If Li Mu was frightened by him on the first day he came to the Enshrinement Department and returned to the Enshrinement Department obediently within a stick of incense, then they would never have a good life in the future.
The reason why they waited until the incense burnt out before entering the Worship Department was to give Li Mu a warning.
They had to let Li Mu know that the worship department was different from the court.
However, when the incense stick burned out and the first person outside the door wanted to enter the worship department, a figure blocked their way.
The fifth-level priest looked at Li Mu, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Master Li, what are you doing?"
Li Mu said calmly: "This is the Worship Department."
The worshiper said: "Can't we, the worshipers, go to the worship department?"
Li Mudao: "That was true before, but not now. Everyone who did not come to the Enshrinement Department to report before the incense burned out has been expelled from the Enshrinement Department. I will give you one day to move out of Da'anfang. From now on, don't use the big name again."
Acting in Zhou Zongfeng’s name.”
The worshiper didn't expect that Li Mu actually dared to do this. His face darkened and he said: "Master Li, on your first day in the worship department, do you have to do something so amazing?"
As he spoke, he exuded a fierce aura.
There was also an invisible aura rising from the worshipers behind him.
Under the pressure of this momentum, a few strands of hair beside Li Mu's ears were blown up, his clothes also rustled, and a piece of green brick under his feet was crushed by him.
The next moment, Li Mu took a step forward.
boom!
An even more powerful momentum burst out from him.
The dozen or so worshipers at the entrance of the worship department fell back a few steps under this aura. The worshipers in the fifth realm could barely support themselves. Several of the worshipers who only had cultivation in the fourth realm fell directly under the impact of the momentum.
Passed out.
Li Mu looked at them and said calmly: "From now on, you are no longer worshiping in the imperial court. The worshiping department is an important place of the imperial court. Those who trespass on the worshiping department will be expelled. Those who repeatedly intrude will be shot without mercy..."
Several fifth-level worshipers struggled to resist the pressure on Li Mu, and were shocked to the extreme.
They did not expect that Li Mu would be able to unleash such pressure just after being promoted. At that moment, they even felt like they were facing a strong person in the sixth realm.
Li Mu's strength was far stronger than they imagined. They originally wanted to give her a blow, but now they are unable to step down themselves.
Just when these people didn't know how to respond, a gentle force swept over them.
The coercion emanating from Li Mu collided with this gentle force and each offset them.
Two old men with the same appearance walked slowly to the door of the Worship Department.
"The big offering is coming."
"I've seen big offerings..."
Seeing the two old men, everyone seemed to have found a backbone and bowed to salute.
The old man on the left glanced at them and said, "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go in quickly?"
When the big worshipper spoke, these people breathed a sigh of relief. The leader was about to walk in. Just as he took a step into the worship department, he was suddenly hit by a golden light in the chest and flew backwards.
After Dao Zhong knocked someone away, it turned into the size of a hand and floated on Li Mu's shoulder.
When the several worshipers who were about to walk in saw this, they immediately stopped in their tracks. They never expected that Li Mu would not even give him the respect of the great worshippers.
The old man who spoke just now looked serious and asked, "Master Li, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Li Mu looked at him and said calmly: "I have said that those who do not have enough time to burn incense will be expelled from the worship department. These people stood outside the door of the worship department and dragged them to the pillar.
After the incense burnt out, it was clear that he no longer wanted to make offerings. The Enshrining Department is an important place in the imperial court, and not just anyone can come in casually..."
The old man looked at him and asked slowly: "We are late too. Does Mr. Li want to expel us from the Enshrinement Department?"
It is not easy to recruit strong people in the sixth realm, and Li Mu does not have this power.
Although Li Mu really wanted to kick them out to save resources for the court, if they were really kicked out, I'm afraid the court would also put pressure on the queen.
Li Mu looked at him and said: "For the sake of you being a big worshiper, I can make an exception once, but I won't make an exception next time."
"You don't have to wait until next time." The old man who had been silent until now snorted and said coldly: "If you want to expel them today, then the two of us will take the initiative to resign. You can also expel us...
…”
Li Mu looked at the old man in astonishment. He actually had such a good thing?
He was worried about how to kick them out. There was a sloppy old Taoist who was at the peak of the sixth realm. What else could he do with the two of them? Isn't this a waste of court resources?
Li Mu looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "You can't prove it, how about you make an oath to the way of heaven?"
