With a gritted teeth and a stamp of his feet, Li Mu spent the three million gold Cangyun coins, and then a beautiful hairpin appeared in his hand.
When her consciousness returned to the real world, Zhen Ni was looking at the hairpin in her hand with wide eyes and disbelief. Although she covered her mouth with her beautiful hand, she still couldn't hide the surprise and joy on her pretty face.
"This hairpin is not simple, brother Li. You were not planning to give it to your younger siblings, right? Now it's better. It gives your precious apprentice an advantage."
Gao also laughed at the side, because no matter how much he thought, Li Mu, a grown man, would not be able to prepare such a feminine magic weapon on his body in advance.
Then there is only one possibility left, that is, this hairpin was originally planned by Li Mu to be given to Lin Qingzhu or Nie Xiaoyu, but unexpectedly, it was "cut off" by Zhen Ni here.
"This hairpin can enhance your affinity to the vitality of heaven and earth. You can wear it wherever you go."
Li Mu, who also knew that he had no way to explain, could only smile awkwardly, and then handed the hairpin in his hand to Zhen Ni's hand, and the other party also took it carefully, rubbing it repeatedly as if he couldn't put it down.
"It turns out to be a magic weapon that can improve the affinity of vitality. Brother Li, every time you give out a gift, you are so generous. I, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce, am envious."
Gao also still showed his humor. With the current strength of the Gao Chamber of Commerce and his status as the top disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect, a Xuan-level magic weapon would not make him jealous.
At this time, Zhen Ni put all her thoughts on the hairpin. After looking at it over and over for a while, she inserted it into her braided hair at Li Mu's reminder.
The elegant and unique hairpin paired with Zhen Ni's pretty face gave it a refined beauty. Even Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the beautiful girl in front of him.
But this is just a young man's instinctive reaction to beautiful things. Li Mu has absolutely no other thoughts in his heart. To him, Zhen Ni before was a sister in need of help, but now she is his first apprentice on the road to immortality.
.
Time passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day to set off again.
It would take about seven days to travel at full speed from Tianling City to Huiyue City, but because he had to take Zhen Ni with him, who was still a mortal, Li Mu chose to ride on horseback.
"Brother Li, you saved my life and Yu'an's. From now on, if you come to our two places, just speak. If we blink our eyes, we will be struck by lightning."
Wang Yao and Bai Yu'an who came to see them off outside the city gate knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mu three times.
After a few days of training, apart from being a little weak, Bai Yu'an was no longer seriously injured. After experiencing this life and death, these two disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect became even more precious to each other. At the same time, they also cherished Li Mu's
Keep the kindness in mind.
"Junior Brother Wang, Junior Sister Bai, what are you doing? Hurry up. We are companions who fight together. Helping each other is the most basic thing. When I come back from this trip, I will go to Xuantian Sword Sect to have a drink with you.
"
Li Mu did not stop the two people's behavior, but only helped Wang Yao and Bai Yu'an up after suffering. This was because he did not want to put too much psychological burden on the other party. The life-saving grace was exchanged for three clicks, and then both parties were convenient.
They can also be considered friends.
"Brother Li, not much else to say, have a nice trip."
After exchanging a goodbye hug with Gao Ye, Li Mu and Zhen Ni got on their horses respectively, waved to the three members of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and then headed towards Huiyue City along the wide business road.
Departure.
The setting sun in Mobei stretched the figures of the two people very long, and finally disappeared into the far end of the boundless wilderness.
Following the imperial trade route from the dry northwest through the vast loess hilly area, Li Mu and Zhen Ni arrived at the Yuechuan River, known as the mother river of the Cangyun Empire, and then followed the river and entered the vast Central Plains area.
Because they only practiced some horse riding skills before leaving Tianling City, the two of them walked not very fast. Along the way, Li Mu also explained some introductory knowledge to Zhen Ni, including the division of realms of strength and the use of immortal weapons and magic weapons.
Classification, general distribution of forces in the fairy world, etc.
For Li Mu, who can be called a mobile encyclopedia, this knowledge was as easy as picking it up at his fingertips. During the explanation process, in order to make Zhen Ni understand, he also used many humorous metaphors from his previous life.
Zhen Ni, who was stepping out of Tianling City for the first time, was filled with admiration for his profound and humorous image. It is no exaggeration to say that when those big and smart eyes looked at Li Mu, they were filled with stars.
"Master, why do you think monks pursue constant breakthroughs? Is it to live longer? But even if you have a life span of hundreds of years, what's the point when your relatives around you are old?"
The two horses were riding side by side. Zhen Ni had completely mastered the essentials of riding. She changed her initial panic and instead hurried on while pondering the knowledge that Li Mu had imparted to her.
"There is no standard answer to your question. Every monk has his own purpose in his heart. Some people, like you said, want to achieve immortality through practice, and some people want to have infinite power."
"As for me, it has only been a few years since I decided to embark on the road to immortality. In the past, I was addicted to pleasure and felt that life should be lived freely and freely every day. But with the emergence of enemies around me, I began to realize that if I didn't
He is so powerful that he cannot even protect the people closest to him, let alone his ease and ease."
"Then I changed my ways. This was my original intention of practicing. But if you ask me why I practice now, I'm afraid I can't even give a complete answer. Maybe it's because my level is not enough.
.”
Zhen Ni's question pointed directly at the origin of cultivation. Li Mu did not expect that his apprentice, who had not yet embarked on the path to immortality, could actually ask a difficult question that many monks could not find the answer to in their entire lives.
He can only answer based on his own understanding and current state of mind, why should he practice? With just a few words, even he who has the heart of the Holy Spirit does not dare to know the answer.
"Little girl, I didn't expect that your thoughts are quite deep. Haha, practice hard and find your own answer. When you find it, you may find yourself at the top of the fairy world."
Li Mu's answer was not incorrect. As smart as Zhen Ni, she thought about it carefully, but obviously she was not able to figure out such a profound truth now. After being patted on the head lovingly by Li Mu, she had to vomit.
Tongue, driving the horse to follow quickly.
"I know Master, and I will definitely follow your footsteps. One day, I will be at the top, standing behind Master, and become your solid backing."
What the girl didn't know was that the wish she silently made in her heart today would really become her belief in climbing to the highest peak many years later.
