Under Mubai's leadership, Li Mu quickly completed the graduation procedures and received an academy graduation badge certified by the empire. This small red badge was the certificate to participate in the sect's election.
Li Mu then went to the dormitory area where the Xuanjie Class students were staying, and said goodbye to the classmates one by one. Many students in the Xuanjie Class were reluctant to leave the class president, and many girls even cried.
Li Mu also felt sad. Although he didn't stay in this college for long, the friends he made and the friendships he gained during this period were far incomparable to those in the previous ten years of his life.
When he walked out of the gate of Qinglan College, it was already evening. When he turned around and looked at the college under the sunset, Li Mu's eyes became a little moist.
The murmured farewell in his mouth was a feeling of gratitude for helping him embark on the path of cultivating immortality, as well as a longing and expectation for his future.
The young man's heart was as broad as heaven and earth at this time, full of pride and passion, and a new road slowly unfolded before Li Mu's eyes.
"Brother Mu, you said you wanted to go out for training?"
Lin Qingzhu looked at the serious Li Mu and said in surprise that she had always thought that Li Mu would be like Li Yue, joining the guards of the city lord's palace after breaking through the core formation realm, and improving his cultivation through fighting, but she did not expect that Li Mu would
Mu, however, chose a more dangerous path.
"Yes, I have thought about it carefully. I cannot grow up quickly in Qinglan City. Even if I join the Guards like my elder brother, I will always be taken care of more or less because of my status as the son of the city lord.
This is not what I want."
Li Mu spoke without any hesitation. He knew that his elder brother's path was not suitable for him. What he liked in his heart was the same cultivation method as Hao Meng. He traveled to different places, met different people, but pursued opportunities that were not arranged.
The road to immortality is different for everyone. If you blindly follow the path arranged by others, it is easy to lose your original intention. Even if you pass through the first few realms safely, there will eventually be an insurmountable obstacle before a certain level.
bottleneck.
Situations like this are common in the fairy world. Children of aristocratic families have been cultivating according to the path set by the family since they were young. In the early stage, they made rapid progress due to the accumulation of a large amount of resources, but in the end they were unable to move forward after certain bottlenecks appeared.
So not following common sense and taking the path you want to take, this is what Li Mu decided upon when he first broke through the Dan Formation Realm.
The sword fighting and grudges in his past life memories were the way he wanted to cultivate immortality. This time he decided to follow the guidance of his heart.
"Brother Mu, I support you. In fact, I don't like to scheming with the bureaucrats of the imperial factions in the city lord's palace all day long. In the past six months, even my cultivation has been slow to improve. This time you go out to the city to practice, how about I come with you?
"
After a brief moment of surprise, Lin Qingzhu quickly understood Li Mu's decision. She remembered that she had been busy helping her father deal with affairs in the city since she broke through the Dan Formation Realm, which consumed a lot of her energy and physical strength, and she even slacked off in her cultivation.
.
"You want to come with me? That's fine. This way the two of us can take care of each other. If we encounter any opportunities, we will be more confident in pursuing them."
Lin Qingzhu's suggestion also made Li Mu's eyes light up. Although he decided to go out to practice for a while, he still had no idea as he had lived in Qinglan City since he was a child.
Although most of the city-states in the Cangyun Empire are connected by official trade routes, as long as caravans and monks travel on the trade routes, there will not be too much risk, but there are no absolutes in everything, and if you always use the trade routes, you will not be able to achieve the goal.
The purpose of Li Mu’s training.
He still wanted to fight monsters and bandits during his training, and at the same time look for opportunities to improve his cultivation, but this would require going deep into an area not protected by the imperial army.
Although Li Mu is already at the level of pill formation and has many trump cards, as long as he carefully intervenes in uninhabited areas according to the empire's common map, it is difficult to encounter an unbeatable opponent. This is why Hao Meng dared to go out to practice alone.
reason.
But if you can have Lin Qingzhu who is in the same Dan Formation realm as your partner, you will undoubtedly have another powerful helper, and you will be able to be more calm when dealing with dangers and opportunities.
Of course, it is a beautiful thing to be accompanied by a stunning beauty on the boring journey of cultivation.
You must know that Li Mu was a super virgin who had never even touched a girl's hand in his previous life. Looking at Lin Qingzhu's pretty face in front of him, it was impossible to say that his heart was unmoved.
"But Brother Mu, we still need to formulate a rough route. Otherwise, if we wander around blindly, we will not only easily encounter dangers that we cannot solve, but it will also be difficult to improve our cultivation."
Although the two of them hit it off about going out for training, Lin Qingzhu still showed a calmness and overall perspective that Li Mu did not have, and carefully began to analyze possible situations and formulate a route.
"What are you two doing? If I hadn't asked Chunxiang, I really wouldn't have found you two."
Just as the two of them started planning intensively, a female voice came from outside the door of Lin Qingzhu's courtyard, and then a graceful figure walked in, it was Liu Ruoying.
"Aunt, it's like this. Qingzhu and I have now reached the Dan Formation Realm, so we plan to go out of the city to practice together for a while to see if we can further improve our cultivation and prepare for the sect's election in a year's time.
"
Li Mu has always respected his aunt very much. After his mother passed away, it was the only matron of the Li family who took on the responsibility of raising him. Not only did she take care of her life, but she also helped her ease her relationship with her on many occasions.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Li Yubai's relationship was treated as one of his own.
In aristocratic families, it is difficult for mistresses from different houses to coexist peacefully. Not to mention raising each other's surviving son as his own child, this kind of mind and character are worthy of Li Mu's gratitude.
"Well, it's true that I don't know much about Mu'er's situation, but Zhu'er, you are smart and very experienced in dealing with people. You can definitely go out and experience it. This will not only increase your knowledge, but you may also gain new insights into spiritual practice.
."
Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu were originally a little worried that their decision would not be recognized by the family elders, but unexpectedly Liu Ruoying understood their purpose and expressed support, which made the two boys and girls feel happy.
"Well, it's quite difficult for you to plan the route yourself. I happen to have a letter from home that I want to send to my second sister in the imperial capital. You can help me take it there."
Seeing the excitement on the faces of the two people in front of her, Liu Ruoying understood in her heart that these two children had grown up, and it was time for them to go out and spread their wings on their own.
Qinglan City is about two thousand miles away from the imperial capital of the Cangyun Empire, but most of it is connected by a main trade road. This trade road is also the busiest trade road in the entire empire, and it is also the safest relatively speaking.
trade routes.
"Originally, I wanted Yu Bai to bring this letter to me, but he was in a hurry when he was summoned that day and didn't come in time to bring it with him. After you arrive in the imperial capital, go directly to Liu's house and give it to my second sister Liu Ruoqing.
That’s it.”
Liu Ruoying's family is also a first-class wealthy family in the imperial capital of Cangyun Empire. Her father Liu Yi is the number one general in the empire today. He helped the royal family of Cangyun Empire conquer a large territory and accumulated great military exploits. He is known as the Emperor of Cangyun.
Tiger.
The Liu family has also become the leader of the Cangyun Empire's military, and their children are spread throughout the empire's armies.
"This is this letter. Mu'er, please keep it. Be more careful on the road. After all, you are still young and have little experience in traveling around the world. Please discuss everything with Zhu'er. I also have a token here. If you encounter any danger,
Show it to the garrison near the trade route, and they will do their best to help you."
Liu Ruoying first took out a white letter and handed it to Li Mu, and then took off a dark green token from her waist, with a vigorous and powerful word "Liu" engraved on it, which is the core bloodline of the Liu family.
Tokens can only be owned by a person, and the army in the empire must provide help to the person holding this token.
Li Mu accepted the letter and token from Liu Ruoying, and felt warm in his heart. He could feel this aunt's love and care for him. This maternal love that was not maternal love moved him deeply.
"However, Mu'er, you are not allowed to bully Zhu'er on the road. If your aunt finds out, I will make you look good."
After Li Mu carefully put away the letter and token, Liu Ruoying changed her words, glared at Li Mu and then warned, her eyes seemed to say that if Li Mu disobeys, she will tear him apart.
"Oh, okay, I understand, aunt, how dare I bully Qingzhu."
Frightened to death by Liu Ruoying's look, Li Mu deeply realized how changeable women are, but since childhood, Lin Qingzhu was the only one who bullied him.
After sending Liu Ruoying away, Li Mu also said hello to Lin Qingzhu and left her yard.
The date for his return from this trip has not been determined, it could be a few months or half a year, so in addition to the necessary preparations, he also needs to say goodbye to someone in Qinglan City.
"She and the young lady are not in the house. I heard that the young lady went out to collect some precious herbs. I don't know when she will come back. But before she left, the young lady said it would take at least a few months."
When Li Mu came to Huamei's small courtyard, he didn't see Nie Xiaoyu. Only the old nanny was guarding the house.
"It's a pity that I can't say goodbye to Xiaoyu, but she will definitely learn a lot when she goes out to practice with Divine Doctor Hua. Maybe she will surpass me in cultivation when she comes back. I have to work hard too."
After saying goodbye to the old nanny, Li Mu walked towards the commercial street.
Sufficient preparation is a must when going out for training. In addition to planning to purchase some equipment in the simulation store, elixirs are also an important part of preparation. At this time, Li Mu is going to Baicaotang to purchase some basic healing and combat elixirs.
