Li Mu summoned five royal beasts, Qingyue True Dragon and Jade Ginseng King, to discuss the upcoming trip to the secret realm and let them protect them.
"Great, Master, I haven't been active for a long time." The blue-eyed golden ape was the first to jump up excitedly, his blue eyes flashing with excitement, and his golden hair shining in the sun.
"Master, why don't you take Xue'er with you! If she finds out, she will definitely be unhappy. Then, she might follow our traces and pursue us. If things go wrong, there will be an accident." Mo Yuyan Lizard reminded.
Hearing this, Li Mu frowned. This was indeed his plan. This trip to the secret realm contained certain dangers, so he did not plan to take Xueer with him. However, after Xiaowa said this, if After Xueer knew about it, following their footsteps would lead to other accidents.
"Yes! Master, take Miss Xue'er with you! She has also survived the thunder catastrophe of transformation, maybe she can help." Red Lianhuofeng advised.
"Okay! Xiao Jin, go and call Xue'er." Li Mu thought for a moment, nodded, and then ordered the blue-eyed golden ape to find Xue'er.
After receiving the order, the blue-eyed golden ape disappeared in a flash, apparently using its unique movement skills to find Xue'er.
Not long after, the blue-eyed golden ape came back with Xueer.
Xueer flew down next to Li Mu and asked anxiously: "Master Li, are you going to go on an adventure? Why don't you take me with you?"
Li Mu quickly explained: "This time we The place we are going to is somewhat dangerous. I was afraid that you would be injured, so I originally planned to let you stay in the sect, but I was afraid that you would be worried, so I planned to take you with me. However, first of all, you must be obedient during this operation. Act without authorization.”
Hearing this, Xueer couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I never listened to you and I will never act without permission."
Li Mu nodded and said to the royal guards. Beast introduced the situation of this secret realm in detail, and then asked them to prepare for their departure tomorrow.
The next morning, over the Qixuan Sect, the Earth Spirit Ship was suspended in the sky above the sect, emitting a faint spiritual light.
The elders of Qixuan Sect came to say goodbye one after another, with smiles on their faces, but reluctance and worry in their eyes.
Li Mu stood on the deck of the spirit ship and said goodbye to the elders. As the Earth Spirit Ship slowly took off, Li Mu took the beasts and Wang Wenbao on their journey to the secret realm.
Soon, the Earth Spirit Ship turned into a stream of light and flew towards the north.
The elders of the Qixuan Sect watched the Earth Yuanling Ship go away. Only when it disappeared from sight did they all look back, with complicated expressions on their faces. They knew that Li Mu and the beasts would face many unknown dangers when they went to the secret realm this time. They only looked forward to Li Mu's early return.
As the Earth Spirit Ship gallops, the surrounding scenery is constantly changing like a moving scroll. The mountains, rivers, and rivers are ups and downs, as if they are the veins of the earth, unfolding one by one in the rapid flight of the Spirit Ship, one after another. One passed before their eyes.
On the spacious deck of the Diyuanling Ship, Li Mu and Wang Wenbao stood side by side, discussing important matters of the trip, talking about the meeting place agreed with the Wanbao Pavilion treasure hunt team, and planning the route and actions in detail. Wang Wenbao was introducing the treasure hunting team to Li Mu in detail.
"Master Li, the object of this cooperation is the most experienced treasure hunting team in our Wanbao Pavilion. They have successfully explored various secret realms and historic sites many times. The team leader is a refiner named Qian Wantong. Senior Xu, he has profound cultivation and extensive knowledge, and is good at identifying various traps and restrictions." Wang Wenbao looked at Li Mu and introduced the situation of the treasure hunting team to him.
Li Mu nodded and expressed his understanding. Being able to cooperate with such a team will not only increase the safety of this trip to the secret realm, but also learn a lot of valuable experience during the exploration process.
“What is the composition of the treasure hunting team?” Li Mu asked Wang Wenbao to learn more about the treasure hunting team.
Wang Wenbao quickly introduced: "There are more than a hundred people in this treasure hunting team. In addition to the team leader Qian Commander, who is a late-stage Void Refining monk, there are also three powerful Void Refining experts, each of whom is good at In different fields, there are Pang Long who is good at close combat, Han Yi who is good at wood magic, Xiao Xiangyun who is good at finding traces and proficient in insect control, and more than fifty other god-transforming combatants. In addition, They are responsible for the logistics support team members, alchemists, poison masters, pharmacists, bookworms, etc. Although their cultivation is not high, they are proficient in their own fields and are indispensable roles in secret treasure hunting.”
After hearing this, Li Mu immediately had a clearer understanding of the strength and configuration of this treasure hunting team, and smiled with satisfaction: "The strength of this treasure hunting team is good. With such a configuration, whether it is fighting or exploring, it can It's good to deal with it easily."
"Master Li is right. Now that you have joined us, this trip to the secret realm will be smoother. As long as the restrictions in the secret realm can be broken, the treasure in the secret realm will be available. It's like picking something out of a bag." Wang Wenbao smiled flatteringly at Li Mu and flattered him without any trace of it.
"Don't talk too much. I may not be sure about the restriction of this secret realm. I will check the restriction first and then speak in advance. The Death-Resisting Grass must be mine!" Li Mu shook his head and smiled, humbly.
“Of course!” Wang Wenbao nodded in agreement.
"Where will we meet up with this treasure hunting team?" Li Mu changed his tone and asked with concern.
Wang Wenbao quickly replied: "Because the treasure hunting team could not break the restriction of the secret realm, they could only withdraw from the Ice Abyss Jedi, ask for help from the headquarters of Wanbao Pavilion, and set up camp in an iceberg valley near the entrance of the secret realm to wait for reinforcements. "
After a pause, Wang Wenbao added: "I applied to the General Manager to invite you to participate in this secret exploration. Let's go to the Wanbao Pavilion headquarters first and report to the General Manager, and then we will continue. Then go to Ice Mountain Spirit Valley to meet up with the treasure hunting team.”
Li Mu frowned and asked with some urgency: "How far is the Wanbao Pavilion headquarters from here? How long does it take to get there?"
Wang Wenbao quickly replied: "The Wanbao Pavilion headquarters is on its way to the Northern Territory. On one side, the Earth Spirit Ship is heading in the right direction, but at its current speed, it will take about four to five days to sail."
"Oh!" Li Mu nodded clearly, and then pinched his hand. , shooting a stream of spiritual power towards the Earth Spirit Ship.
With the injection of this spiritual power, the earth's spiritual ship's magnetic array was instantly activated. The entire spiritual ship seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, and suddenly rose to a height of dozens of feet, and Continuously increasing the height, it began to accelerate crazily, and the Earth Spirit Ship sped out like an arrow from a string.
The Diyuanling Ship, which was originally flying smoothly, turned into a bolt of lightning across the sky at this moment. The speed was jaw-dropping. However, what is surprising is that even though the speed increased dozens of times, there were many people on the cabin and deck. But there was no bump or vibration at all. On the contrary, the entire spirit ship seemed to be wrapped in a gentle force, as smooth as walking on flat ground. The surrounding scenery is moving backwards rapidly, as if time is being stretched at this moment.
"According to the current speed, we should be able to arrive tonight!" Li Muchong smiled at Wang Wenbao and asked.
"It's definitely no problem. Master Li is really good at it!" Wang Wenbao was overjoyed when he saw this. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration. At the same time, he didn't forget to ask: "The quality of this spiritual ship and its performance are so outstanding. I don't know. , by which shipbuilder master?"
Li Mu was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Wang Wenbao would ask him for information about the shipbuilder, but it was not easy to tell the truth about it.
Li Mu then made up a reason and responded: "This ship was given by a close friend. I don't know who built it."
"I see, Master Li, if you have the opportunity, could you please help me inquire about the master who built this spiritual ship. He has excellent shipbuilding skills. Wang is very eager to get acquainted with him." Wang Wenbao looked at Li Mu with a sincere expression. The ground asked for help.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said to himself: "Wang Wenbao is a very knowledgeable person, but this Earth Yuanling Ship is my original creation. There is no such thing as a master shipbuilder."
Li Mu smiled. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wang. If there is a chance, I will definitely help you inquire."
Hearing this, Wang Wenbao was overjoyed and quickly thanked: "Thank you Master Li. If you can get to know this shipbuilder, Master, Wang will repay you with a generous gift."
The two of them chatted while watching the Earth Spirit Ship galloping forward.
Time flies, the sun sets in the west, and the blood-like sunset gradually sets, leaving behind a gorgeous sunset. Night falls quickly, and the sky seems to be slowly pulled down by a huge black curtain, shrouding the earth in darkness.
The Earth Spirit Ship speeding through the sky finally slowed down, and its altitude gradually dropped. It passed through layers of clouds and mist, and gradually landed towards the floating port below.
On the deck of the Diyuanling Ship, Li Mu looked far into the distance, looking at the spectacular night scene gradually unfolding below, and couldn't help but express deep amazement on his face.
In front of you, a huge urban building complex spreads out like a picture scroll, which is shocking. The towering pavilions reach into the sky. They are brightly lit and dazzling, emitting a charming brilliance, reflecting the entire night sky as if it were daytime.
Floating harbors are located in every corner of the urban agglomeration, like pieces of land floating in the sky. Large and small spiritual ships are constantly passing through these floating harbors. They are fast or slow, bright or clear. Dark, it draws bright tracks in the night sky, like a grand light show.
The name Wanbao Pavilion is well-known among countless monks. Its branches spread all over the spiritual realms of various states, and even do business across borders. To the vast majority of cultivators, almost no one knows about it. Its headquarters stands in Zhongzhou Lingzhou. The center of the domain, its scale is naturally extraordinary.
In the center of this brightly lit city, a particularly tall building stands out. It is the headquarters building of Wanbao Pavilion. It stands tall and towers into the sky. Its appearance is magnificent and brilliant, as if it is A palace made of top-quality spiritual stones and Gengjin. Against the backdrop of the night, it becomes even more solemn and noble. It should be the headquarters of Wanbao Pavilion.
Having seen the prosperity of modern civilized first-tier cities, Li Mu couldn't help but be amazed by the scale and prosperity of Wanbao Pavilion headquarters.
"Master Li, in front of you is the shopping mall built by our Wanbao Pavilion, which is called Wanbao City." Wang Wenbao was full of pride and introduced to Li Mu in an exciting tone: "This city brings together the entire Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain. There are merchant ships, treasure ships, and even many merchant ships that sail across the territory. This can be said to be a gathering place of treasures. Millions of spiritual objects and treasures are traded in this city every day, whether it is rare spiritual materials. , treasures, legendary secrets, and ancient books, everything is here."
"Shopkeeper Wang, this Wanbao City is indeed worthy of its reputation. There must be many rare things in such a prosperous place." Li Mu nodded with a smile. He nodded, with interest in his eyes.
This place where Ten Thousand Treasures gather should be the place where the gift of identifying all spirits is most suitable. Li Mu couldn't help but feel excited, thinking about whether to stay in this city for a few days to see if he could pick up a few big leaks along the way.
Hearing this, Wang Wenbao smiled proudly and said: "What Master Li said is absolutely true. This City of Ten Thousand Treasures is indeed a place of treasures. There are many rare and secret treasures. Even with my ability to recognize treasures, I cannot dig them all out. , it’s not too late to meet Commander Qian and the others. If you are interested, you can stay in Wanbao City for a few more days, and you may be able to find the treasure you need.”
“Shopkeeper Wang, yours. The proposal is exactly what I want." Li Mu smiled slightly and turned to Xue'er beside him, seeing her squinting her eyes as if feeling the prosperous atmosphere of Wanbao City.
Li Mu smiled and suggested: "Xue'er, why don't we stay here for a few days to renovate and make a rare trip to take a look around this Wanbao City."
"Okay!" Xue'er nodded happily. Although she didn't say much, the twinkling light in her eyes revealed her expectation for this trip.
"Master Li, please dock the spirit ship to that floating port." Wang Wenbao pointed to a majestic floating port in the distance and guided enthusiastically.
Li Mu nodded, and then activated his magic power to control the Earth Spirit Ship to slowly sail towards the floating port. The spirit ship drew a beautiful arc in the void, and finally anchored steadily at the designated location in the floating port.
Seeing this, Wang Wenbao showed a satisfied smile on his face. He showed the shopkeeper's token to the disciples of Wanbao Pavilion, and a group of subordinates immediately gathered around and respectfully obeyed his instructions. They were busy replacing the spirit stones on the spirit ship, replenishing logistics supplies, and repairing the damage to the spirit ship. Every detail was handled in an orderly manner.
"Master Li, you have been tired all the way. I will ask my subordinates to take you and Miss Xueer to Yaju to rest for a while." Wang Wenbao respectfully said to Li Mu: "I will go to the chief manager to report the matter first. He I have been known to you for a long time, and I might come to see you in person. Please wait a moment, and you can take Miss Xueer to visit Wanbao City later, okay?”
Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly. , nodded and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, business matters are important, just go ahead and do it!"
Wang Wenbao nodded gratefully, and then ordered his subordinates to take Li Mu and Xue'er to a residence with a quiet and elegant environment.
Li Mu and Xueer took a short rest in the elegant residence, drank tea and discussed Taoism, enjoying the rare quiet time. Wang Wenbao left in a hurry and reported to the general manager of Wanbao Pavilion.
Not long after, Wang Wenbao returned to Yaju where Li Mu rested, bringing greetings and invitations from the chief manager. (End of this chapter)
