Chapter 124 Hunting (Part 1)
After a hundred breaths, under Li Mu’s control, the four spiritual swords flew in the most covert way, avoiding everyone, and quietly flew back to Yue Qiong Peak. , threw himself into the Qinglian Pool, and continued to transform into spiritual fish, cruising around.
After doing all this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dispersed his consciousness.
The concept of Nebula Observation is worthy of being a top-grade heaven-level skill. After the Gathering of Gods chapter is upgraded to the fifth-level Xiaocheng state, the derived divine consciousness power - Xingyin effect is extremely strong.
The effect of 'Xingyin' is too powerful. This time, Li Mu confirmed that even the true king and the ancestor of the gods could not detect the peeping of his consciousness in the starry state.
From now on, you can boldly use your spiritual consciousness in the sect!
Li Mu was overjoyed.
This time when his spiritual consciousness was released, Li Mu probably also found out the reality of Qingxuan Sect. There are three ancestors of the gods on the seven main peaks, and seventeen Nascent Soul Lords are in charge. The strength of the sect is still very good. of.
However, why did one of the ancestors of the Transformation God and the other three Nascent Soul Lords seem to be in a bad state, and they had a fight with others?
Li Mu frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his expression became slightly solemn.
Qingxuanzong also has a mountain-protecting formation and several sect-suppressing spiritual treasures. It shouldn't be a problem to sustain this kind of strength for hundreds of years!
By then, he should be able to advance to Nascent Soul!
Even if the sect is destroyed, if he wants to run away, no one should be able to stop him.
Li Mu gave up exploring this issue, stood up with his sword, and held 90 acres of Tianfeng grass harvested from a distance, flew to the back mountain to dispose of it, and checked the growth status of Purple Yang Ganoderma and Yin Po Fruit. .
These two spiritual plants are related to the progress of Yin Yang and Five Elements Sutra, and even more related to whether Li Mu can successfully advance to the golden elixir level.
Therefore, Li Mu is very attentive and takes good care of it, and must inspect it almost every day.
………
Time flies, and another three months have passed.
During this period, Li Mu harvested another 90 acres of mature second-level exquisite spiritual grass, and obtained a large number of spiritual planting light groups. The spiritual planting of exquisite spiritual grass rewards spiritual attributes, and the improvement in strength is very limited. There is no Tianfengcao's plant spirit to gain free proficiency points.
Immediately, Li Mu planted another 90 acres of spiritual land with Tianfeng grass.
In the blink of an eye, I have been in "reclusion" for more than a year.
Today is the day agreed with Elder Yin. Li Mu has to go to receive the weapon refining task. Otherwise, he will have to pay the rent to the sect for renting Yue Qiong Peak.
Li Mu rose up with his sword, flew away from Yue Qiong Peak, and headed for Bailian Peak.
Qingxuan Sect does not raise disciples for free, and all the disciples of the sect must contribute to the sect.
Li Mu's contribution to the sect was to refine weapons for the Qingxuan Sect. Unlike other sect disciples who did not have any skills at their disposal, they had to work hard for the sect and fight in battle.
During this period of time, when he was idle and bored, Li Mu often used his spiritual consciousness to detect the overall situation of Qingxuan Sect, and gradually learned a lot of information about the sect.
The Qingxuan Sect is in a semi-war state. Most of the sect’s combat power has to deal with the joint pioneering operation of the five sects and the invasion by the disciples of the Nine Demon Sects from the Demon Cave. The entire Qingxuan Sect is now like a barrel of dynamite. There is only one fuse left to initiate the mobilization of the whole sect to fight.
Being in the sect, Li Mu did not want to be involved in the front lines of the battle, so he could only continue to refine weapons and highlight his value in weapon refining.
Hundred Refining Peak is still extremely hot, with more disciples lining up to refine weapons than before.
Wearing a golden weapon-refining elder's robe, Li Mu flew into the Hundred Refining Tower unobstructed and arrived at the reception room of the peak master, Yin Xianwen.
"Greetings, Elder Yin!" Li Mu stepped in and looked at Yin Xianwen, who was studying the device diagram, and said.
"Elder Li, you are finally out of seclusion! Come on, please take a seat, Xiao Zhuo, quickly brew the Qingxu Ling tea." Yin Xianwen put down the utensils and quickly called Li Mu to take a seat, and then ordered outside the door The maid ordered.
"Okay, sir!" the maid responded and went to make tea.
“You’re welcome!” Li Mu responded with a smile.
Not long after, the maid came back and served Li Mu a cup of steaming spiritual tea.
"Elder Li, your weapon refining skills are very good. I wonder if you know anything about ship refining!" Yin Xianwen looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
Hearing this, Li Mu's heart moved, and he wondered if Yin Xianwen had other motives for asking.
Ever since he saw the Thunder Spirit Ship in Wanbao Pavilion, Li Mu has never forgotten it. He also had the idea of refining a spirit ship by himself. However, he had to take care of spiritual plants and raise spiritual beasts. , refining weapons, making talismans, etc., I really can’t spare the time.
"I'm a little interested, but I haven't had the opportunity to contact him." Li Muzhao answered truthfully.
“Well, refining this kind of ship generally requires the power of a large organization. It’s normal that you haven’t had any contact with it before. It just so happens that the sect is interested in cultivating a group of spiritual ship refiners. If you are interested, I can help you sign up, and with your weapon-making skills, you should be able to get started quickly." Yin Xianwen looked at Li Mu and said with a smile.
"Oh! Is the sect planning to refine the spirit ship itself?" Li Mu asked curiously, looking at the weapon diagram in Elder Yin's hand, he already had some guesses.
During this period, his spiritual consciousness was released, and Li Mu probably knew some high-level 'trends'. Qingxuan Sect discussed outsourcing spiritual ships to strengthen the sect's war heritage. However, it seemed to have failed.
At this moment, is the sect preparing to refine the spirit ship itself?
"Yes! Tianxuan Sect's war spirit ship is too expensive, and even if you want to queue up, you can't buy it. Even if you can buy it, it will be a castrated version. Now, the sect wants to solve the current predicament, Only building a few more spirit ships can reverse the situation. This is the third-level golden flame spirit ship manufacturing diagram that the sect has worked hard to obtain. Can you study it?" Yin Xianwen handed Li Mu a picture of the animal skin and introduced it. road.
Li Mu nodded, unwrapped the spiritual ship manufacturing design, devoted his spiritual consciousness to studying it.
Refining a spiritual ship is completely different from refining a spiritual weapon, but there are some similarities. The same basic array is used to arrange the equipment. However, it is not based on the condensed equipment pattern. Instead, various formations are arranged to control the air. Arrays, spirit-controlling arrays, defensive arrays, attack arrays,... all kinds of arrays.
For example, the blueprint of the spirit ship on hand uses third-order golden flame spirit wood as the hull. The thirty-six-foot-long hull needs to be laid out with hundreds or even thousands of array patterns and various arrays. ,…….
With Li Mu's level of weapon refining and formation level, if he studies hard for a while, refining this spiritual ship will be a piece of cake.
However, Li Mu had concerns and did not want to get involved in this matter.
If he joins the team that refines spiritual ships, his status in the sect will definitely be greatly improved and he will be in the sight of the sect's senior officials.
The spirit ship involves the core of the sect. Then he will definitely need to meet with the sect leader, True Lord Yuanying, to discuss some issues or something. This is exactly what Li Mu does not want to encounter.
"Elder Yin, thank you for your consideration. However, I really can't research this kind of spiritual ship. I'd better continue to refine it! I came here this time to receive a batch of weapon refining tasks. This kind of spiritual ship can be refined. It's quite troublesome to control, so I won't get involved." Li Mu returned the picture of the spirit ship to Yin Xianwen and refused firmly.
"Uh! Okay! Since Elder Li doesn't want to refine the spirit ship, I won't force it! Just as it happens, I have a batch of urgent weapon refining tasks on hand, so I'll arrange them for you!" Yin Xianwen smiled bitterly. He nodded, accepted the spirit ship blueprint, and gestured.
“Thank you, Elder Yin!” Li Mu was overjoyed and quickly handed over his identity token.
Soon, Yin Xianwen received ten fourth-level spiritual weapon refining tasks for Li Mu. Once again, it proved that the current tense situation in the sect, many golden elixir disciples, the sect had dug out all the details. , wantonly refining weapons, and resorting to military warfare.
After receiving the spiritual weapon mission, Li Mu did not chat with Elder Yin for too long. After drinking the spiritual tea, he said goodbye to him.
Leaving Bailian Peak, Li Mu changed into low-key disciple clothes and went to Taixuan Peak Contribution Hall to exchange resources.
After raising Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa, Li Mu’s demand for high-level monster resources suddenly increased a lot.
In particular, Xiao Jin, who practices the soul-devouring health-preserving art, has reached the peak of the second-level monster beasts. He is about to break through to the third level, and the demand for the meat of high-level monster beasts has more than doubled.
In addition, Li Mu himself is also practicing the soul-devouring health-preserving art, which requires the flesh of more than a dozen third-level monster beasts to be consumed in a month.
"Elder, we have finished exchanging the meat of the third-level demonic beasts. There are still a few of the fourth-level beasts. Can I exchange them for you for the fourth-level ones?" The disciple in charge of the exchange of resources in the Contribution Hall recognized Li Mu and said with an apologetic expression.
The weapon-refining elder in front of me is quite famous in the Contribution Hall.
The level of weapon refining is hard to say, and the resources for redemption are also quite rare, including spiritual plants, monster meat, and various spiritual objects that cultivate spiritual plants. As an elder of the weapon refiner, he does not exchange them for weapon refining. The relevant materials are very strange.
"Level 4! It's too expensive! Give me a replacement!" Li Mu frowned and decided.
After completing the ten weapon refining tasks, the contribution value can be increased by another sum, so there is no need to dig around.
"Okay! You still have 62,000 contribution points. Can I exchange it for you for 1,250 pounds of fourth-level monster meat?" The steward disciple looked at Li Mu with a smile and gestured.
"What kind of monster meat is so expensive?" Li Mu felt a pain in his heart and asked with concern.
“It’s a fourth-level Blood Hell Tiger, with a contribution of 50 points per pound. It’s not expensive at all. The spiritual energy contained in this kind of monster meat is dozens of times that of third-order monster meat. It’s absolutely worth every penny. , this kind of monster meat is particularly effective in the promotion of beast control. Of course, if you, Elder Li, eat it yourself, please be careful. The fourth-level monster meat is not so easy to digest." The steward disciple looked at Li Mu kindly. reminded.
Hearing that the fourth-level blood prison tiger meat is effective in controlling beasts, Li Mu was immediately moved. Now that Xiao Jinka has been at the second-level peak for a while, maybe he can use the spiritual energy of this monster meat. Breaking through the third level in one fell swoop.
“Okay, change it for me!” Li Mu nodded happily.
"Okay!" The steward disciple nodded with a smile and crossed out the large contribution from the token.
The next moment, a large wooden box came out of the small teleportation array. Inside the wooden box was half a fan of Blood Hell Tiger meat, exuding a terrifying demonic spirit.
"Elder Li, please confirm your token and the monster meat." The disciple in charge handed the token back to Li Mu and gestured with a smile.
"Thank you!" Li Mu took the token, waved his hand, and collected the monster meat into the Jiuzang Spirit Bead.
Yu Jian flew back to Yue Qiong Peak, Li Mu scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and Yu Jian flew to the ‘Yu Beast Garden’.
It is said to be the Royal Beast Garden, but in fact there are no buildings. It is just a large wasteland of Lingshan Mountain, which is a bit far away from Yin Yang Valley. Li Mu used magic to build two giant 'caves', which can accommodate Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa's resting place.
Li Mu had already informed them through the Spirit Control Seal before they arrived, and Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa came out of the cave to greet them. Li Mu lowered his sword and looked at the two giant beasts standing in front of him, which were much bigger than the previous few days. For a moment, he felt filled with emotion.
Xiao Jin is a smaller version of 'King Kong'. However, after practicing the Soul Devouring Health Art, Xiao Jin's body is slimmer and less bulky. He can stand upright and nearly four feet tall. Meter tall, with a restrained aura, and his muscles were faintly glowing with golden light.
Xiao Wa, on the other hand, looks very much like 'Godzilla'. He is twice as big as Xiao Jin. He carries a heavy black rock armor on his back and exudes the strong aura of a fourth-order monster. Xiao Jin is in front of it. He is just a younger brother, looking at him with a pair of big black eyes, full of innocence and innocence, revealing an honest and honest temperament, which is in huge contrast with his appearance.
Li Mu smiled slightly, took out half of the Blood Hell Tiger meat from the Jiuzang Spirit Bead, cut it into a piece, and then gathered a ball of Five Elements Spiritual Fire and roasted it.
After a while, the bloody tiger meat turned into a steaming mass of roasted tiger meat, full of meaty aroma.
Li Mu divided dozens of kilograms of tiger meat into two pieces and handed them to the two beasts.
“Eat!” Li Mu gestured with a smile.
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the two big guys couldn't wait any longer. As soon as they grabbed it, they stuffed it into their mouths and swallowed it whole.
Li Mu took a small piece of roasted tiger meat and started to enjoy it.
The entrance of the fourth-level tiger meat immediately produced a strong spiritual energy blooming in his belly, and Li Mumo used the soul-devouring health-preserving technique.
Soon, this powerful spiritual pressure disappeared. Under the action of the Soul Devouring Body Refining, it was quickly transformed into pure Yuan Power to strengthen Li Mu's body.
A piece of two or three kilograms of fourth-grade roasted tiger meat was stuffed into Li Mu’s stomach.
Li Mu waved his fist, which immediately produced a violent sound of breaking barriers, which could easily destroy boulders and rough wood.
Just when Li Mu was satisfied with the improvement in physical strength given by the fourth-level tiger meat.
"Roar!"
A roar suddenly came from Xiao Jin's mouth. At this moment, Xiao Jin raised his head and beat his chest, making a "bang bang" sound.
The huge blue-eyed golden ape shone with golden light, and the color of its hair became darker. Its aura was as strong as fire, and it suddenly increased several times, and the spiritual power of the world changed color.
Advanced!
Seeing this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but think of the third-level ape demon king who broke through the battle under the Five Elements Giant Sword. It was in the same state when it broke through.
"Wow!" Xiao Wa glanced at Xiao Jin and looked at Li Mu and cried pitifully.
"Got it! I'll bake it again!" Li Mu sighed, took out half a fan of tiger meat from the Jiuzang Lingzhu, and cut into a large piece with a knife.
Li Mu thought for a while, Xiao Jin had now reached the third level, and his appetite must have improved. He immediately cut off a large piece, which must weigh more than two hundred kilograms.
Li Mu condensed the Five Elements Spiritual Fire and became a barbecue cook again.
Seeing his master grilling meat, Xiao Jin stopped 'celebrating' and got together with Xiao Wa, staring closely at the sizzling tiger meat and salivating at the corners of his mouth.
Soon, two hundred pounds of fourth-grade roasted tiger meat entered the stomachs of the two guys. They still looked at him with dissatisfied eyes.
Meeting their gazes, Li Mu’s scalp felt numb.
No! We can't continue like this. If we want to feed two guys, no matter how much contribution he makes, it won't be enough.
"You have all grown up. You can't rely on me to support you all the time. It's time for you to support yourself, right?" Li Mu looked at Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa said.
"Zhizhi!" Xiaojin rolled his eyes and called out to Li Mu, indicating to Li Mu that he could participate in the beast fight.
"Wow!" Xiao Wa looked at Li Mu blankly. He didn't know what the owner meant. Did he dislike it for eating too much?
"Wait for me, I will take you hunting later." Li Mu smiled slightly and signaled.
Hearing this, Xiao Jin and Xiao Wa were delighted.
After saying that, Li Mu stood up with his sword and flew out of Yue Qiong Peak, preparing to go to Qingyun City to get two large spirit beast bags so that they could hunt monsters.
There was no way, the two guys were too good to eat, and the low-level monsters still filled their bellies.
Now, Li Mu’s spiritual consciousness can detect two to three hundred miles away, and many dangers can be predicted in advance, making traveling much safer. Taking Xiaojin, Xiaowa and the others out for hunting can relieve tension. The food resources, secondly, can hone their fighting skills, and thirdly, Li Mujing is extremely restless and intends to relax and gain many things in one fell swoop.
Of course, the hundreds of acres of spiritual plants on Yueqiong Peak still need to be taken care of. Li Mu will not take them too far, probably within two or three days of the round trip.
Qingyun Peak, Wanbao Pavilion!
"Of course there is a large beast-taming bag. Master Li, please wait a moment, I will send someone to get it!" Gongsun Chu called a maid and gave some instructions.
Not long after, the maid came back with a tray.
"Master Li, this is a Grade A beast-taming bag, which can hold eighteen large beasts of burden. The environment inside is also extremely nice." Gongsun Chu handed the beast-taming bag on the tray to Li Mu and introduced road.
"Well! Let's take it! The fee will be deducted from the commission! By the way, the three five-element spirit beasts that you asked to find out have been found." Li Mu accepted the beast-controlling bag with satisfaction and looked at it Gongsun Chu asked.
"Master Li, your requirements are too high. It's not that easy to handle a monster with sixth-level qualifications and a cub! For fifth-level, there is currently a fifth-level fire-type heavenly beast. Fengque, but the price is a bit high." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu and introduced tactfully.
“How much?” Li Mu asked curiously.
"This item is for sale by a true king. I can help you recommend it. You should prepare about 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones." Gongsun Chu indicated.
Hearing this, Li Mu was silent for a while.
50,000 high-grade spiritual stones is probably 5 million medium spirits. However, the exchange between high-grade spiritual stones and medium spirits is purely based on negotiation, and the exchange for 5.5 million medium spirits comes down to 5.5 million medium spirits.
How many spiritual weapons does he have to refine to get a fifth-level beast?
“Forget it, let’s drop this matter!” Li Mu waved his hand and decided.
When he reaches the level of Jindan, the Nebula Observation Map is perfect, and he can explore farther distances, and then enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains. If he cannot encounter any high-level monsters, he can catch them by himself.
“Okay!” Gongsun Chu smiled and nodded.
"Master Li, do you have time to refine weapons recently? We have some commissions for refining weapons here." Gongsun Chu looked at Li Mu and asked sheepishly.
Master Li's whereabouts are unpredictable, and it is rare to see him once. Gongsun Chu will not miss this opportunity to refine the weapon.
Hearing this, Li Mu frowned. He was chasing one duck and two ducks, so he did not refuse.
"Are the refining materials ready? Give them to me!" Li Mu looked at Gongsun Chu and gestured.
"Okay! Master Li, please wait a moment!" Gongsun Chu nodded excitedly and went to sort out the refining materials himself.
More than half an hour later, Gongsun Chucai came belatedly, bringing two storage bags and respectfully handed them to Li Mu and said: "Master Li, there are seven entrustments in total for this weapon refining task. Introduction to the seven jade slips, there are a total of fourteen materials, you can refine them as much as you like, and you will get a 50% commission for the extra ones you refine. If you cannot refine them, we will take care of it, and you can come back to get the materials.”
"I'll refine it for you in about ten days!" Li Mu rolled his eyes at Gongsun Chu angrily, looking down on him. How could it not be refined?
After saying that, Li Mu hurriedly left Wanbao Pavilion.
There is a certain chance of failure in high-level weapon refining, so generally the task given to the weapon refining master requires the weapon refining master to prepare two refining materials, and the weapon refining master must ensure that it will be one. This is the default industry rule in the industry. .
The same is true for Wanbao Pavilion when accepting the task of refining weapons. If you refine one more spiritual weapon, you can earn another spiritual weapon.
Unlike refining weapons for Wanbao Pavilion, there is no guarantee of success or failure depending on how many pieces the weapon refiner refines, and how much commission he gets. However, this algorithm has advantages and disadvantages, and it is possible for the weapon refiner to steal the materials for the refinement.
Soon, Li Mu flew back to Yueqiong Peak with his sword and stopped for a while. Then, he took off on the Qing Yunling and galloped towards the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.
Li Mu drove the Qingyun Spirit Boat at full speed, traveling thousands of miles in half a day. His consciousness was always released, avoiding potential threats, and finally he was near the 'Needle Peak' on the side. Land down.
In the Aiguille Mountains, the peaks are as tall as needles. Looking at it, it seems like a thousand long needles standing in this world, with thousands of peaks like needles.
Li Mu descended from the boat, landed at a place with a wide view, put away the spirit boat, and then released an army of sentinel spider puppets, laid out a phantom array, and cast native spells to build a temporary camp.
Then a flash of inspiration occurred.
Li Mu released Xiaojin and Xiaowa from the beast control bag and signaled: "Go and play! There are many second-order and third-order monsters nearby. You can catch whatever you want to eat."
Li Mu smiled slightly, and then sent the group of monster beasts detected by his spiritual consciousness to their minds through the spirit-controlling seal. Then he looked at the two beasts and encouraged them: "I'll give you two days to compete to see who can catch them." More, whoever wins will get a mysterious reward.”
The next second, Xiao Jin took long strides and flew out. His big feet hit the ground with a "bang bang" sound, and he rushed toward the habitat of a third-order black-scaled demon python with the force of thunder.
Seeing that Xiao Jin had taken the lead, Xiao Wa immediately became anxious and hurriedly buried his head in digging the soil. In the blink of an eye, he got into the ground and disappeared.
I saw an 'earth dragon' on the ground flying towards the northwest at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, ten miles away, and a group of second-order giant ferocious pigs surged away.
Xiao Wa arrived first and released a ground stabbing technique.
There was a "boom", and in an instant, hundreds of thick ground thorns pierced up from the ground, catching up all the giant monster pigs, large and small, a family of more than a dozen giant monster pigs, big and small. The ones were five or six meters long, and the smaller ones were one or two meters long, with a pair of long pointed fangs. They looked like a small mountain. However, they were all suddenly pierced by the thorns and hung on the stone pillars, struggling in pain and screaming.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu shivered and couldn't bear to look directly.
