"Roar! Booze! Good stuff! "
Inside the special army camp, under a small hill, the old tree was leisurely sticking his roots into the thick soil, holding a specially made, gigantic vat of booze with both of his hands, gulping it down.
Beside him, the leopard was lying beside a large clay basin, which was also filled with strong wine. The leopard's long tongue had been licking the wine, and it seemed to be enjoying the wine, letting out a series of loud noises.
Yu Mu was smilingly standing beside a bonfire hundreds of zhang away from the old tree. Over ten bonfires had been piled up with freshly butchered buffaloes. Yu Mu was concentrating on spreading all kinds of sauces on the buffaloes. A dense aroma of grilled meat spread out for tens of miles along with the wind.
"Booze, good stuff!" The old tree satisfyingly reached out his hand and slapped hard on Ji Hao's face.
Followed by a thunderous bang, Ji Hao's entire body sank into the ground. Helplessly looking at the old tree, who was a bit drunk, Ji Hao twisted his body and pulled himself out of the ground.
After a short ceremony, the old tree had become a Magi Elder of the Magi Palace. Every year, he would only need to offer the fruits and a part of the sap of the tree to the Magi Palace, then he would be able to enjoy the same treatment as an Elder of the Magi Palace.
Luxurious palaces, vast territories, luxurious clothes, beautiful maids... all of these were meaningless to the old tree and the leopard, except for the booze that Ji Hao had brought for them, which greatly satisfied the two of them, who had never drunk any booze in their entire lives.
"Booze, the essence of nature!" Ji Hao looked at the old tree, whose face was filled with smiles, picked up a vat of booze as well, and poured it into his mouth while laughing out loud. The old tree didn't have any material needs, all he needed was sunlight, rain and soil, and now, he had the booze as well.
Under the protection of the Magi Palace, he could peacefully and comfortably live his life according to his own will, and he would be able to drink an inexhaustible amount of good wine every day. To the old tree man and leopard, this pair of old friends, who didn't have too many desires, nothing could be better than this.
After having a drink with the old tree man, Ji Hao, Yu Mu and Feng Xing were called into the headquarters tent by Si Wen Ming's personal guards.
Si Wen Ming took off his flax clothes and put on a long black robe. The long black robe didn't reflect any light at all, but was embroidered with images of stars, mountains and rivers with silver threads. Along with Si Wen Ming's moves, these stars and mountains seemed to move as well.
Other than Si Wen Ming, Wulong Yao and nearly a hundred Magi Palace elders were also in the tent. They were all wearing the same luxurious long black robes, looking at Ji Hao, Yu Mu and Feng Xing, who had just walked into the tent, with an incomparably serious look.
Ji Hao sensed the serious atmosphere in the tent. He puffed out his chest, straightened his face and looked at Si Wen Ming, who had a serious look on his face.
Behind Si Wen Ming, a stream of mist that seemed to contain countless different colors rose straight into the air. In the smoke, one could vaguely see a figure with his chest puffed out and his hands reaching toward the sky, as if he was holding up the void!
This was the totem of the humankind, and also the totem of the Magi Palace.
Between the sky and the earth, there was a man standing proudly, with an indomitable spirit, connecting with the world and ghosts and gods; this was a 'Magus'!
That human-shaped totem had been releasing an ancient and great sense of power. Waves of great power surged towards Ji Hao, Yu Mu and Feng Xing, and gradually, the heartbeats of Ji Hao, Yu Mu and Feng Xing matched the frequency of this sense of power.
Gradually, Ji Hao sensed that the heartbeats of everyone in the tent were exactly the same as the frequency of the sense of power of this totem.
Everyone's heartbeats were beating at the same frequency. 'Thump, thump, thump', Ji Hao, Si Wen Ming and the others suddenly had a magical feeling, as if they were all breathing together, sharing the same destiny, and had completely merged into a whole.
This was a strange witchcraft secret technique.
Ji Hao suddenly realized that this feeling of being completely merged into a whole, in a battlefield, would allow all warriors with the same heartbeat frequency to instantly merge their powers into one and launch an attack!
Over a hundred Magi Palace elders in the hall were all at the level of Magus King. The powers of over a hundred Magus Kings merging into one and bursting out all at once, what was this? Even a Divine Magus could be killed, couldn't it?
"Uncle Wen Ming!" Ji Hao solemnly cupped his hands and bowed to Si Wen Ming.
"Minister Wen Ming!" Yu Mu and Feng Xing also bowed to Si Wen Ming solemnly. However, when Yu Mu bowed to Si Wen Ming, he seemed to be a bit embarrassed. His belly was way too fat, that he couldn't even bend his waist!
Si Wen Ming nodded and reached out his hand. A purely black magic staff, which was twice as tall as himself, had already appeared in his hand.
Dragons and phoenixes were embossed on the surface of the staff. Within the dancing dragons and phoenixes, patterns of stars and clouds could be seen. Countless bolts of lightning flashed across those patterns of clouds, and countless strange totems of gods, ghosts, devils and all kinds of creatures had been sparkling in the lightning patterns.
The magic staff didn't seem to be releasing any sense of power at all. However, when Ji Hao looked at this magic staff, he felt that his scalp had been numbed. This magic staff … By merely taking a glance at this purely black magic staff, Ji Hao felt as if he was looking at a giant pillar abruptly rising from the sky, towering above the earth and suppressing the entire world. Merely by looking at it from a great distance away, Ji Hao felt a great pain, as if his soul was being crushed.
"Yu Mu, Feng Xing, back then, I found you two kids when I was traveling around the world." Si Wen Ming looked at Yu Mu and Feng Xing, smiled gently and said, "When I met you for the first time, Yu Mu was lying on the ground as a bait, while Feng Xing was preparing to hunt those wild wolves with his bow and arrows."
Yu Mu and Feng Xing's eyes instantly turned red.
Back then, they were still very young, barely had any power or cultivation, and their bodies were rather weak as well. In the vast wilderness, these two kids wanted to live, so they had to hunt for their own food. They didn't even know how to make traps. Therefore, they could only let the chubby Yu Mu lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. When the wild wolves went to eat him, Feng Xing would sneakily attack them with his bow and arrows!
"Although I haven't talked to you much since I brought you back to the Magi Palace, I have been watching every step you've taken." Si Wen Ming smiled gently and said, "You've been working very hard. Even without the support of your clans and families, I am quite satisfied with your cultivation progress."
Turning to Ji Hao, Si Wen Ming's grin grew brighter and brighter and said, "Ji Hao, I won't say another word. In the Southern Wasteland, I have seen everything you've done with my own eyes. You are a good kid. After you came to Pu Ban City, you have made quite a lot of contributions, very good. "
Si Wen Ming slightly poked the ground with the magic staff held in his hand. Followed by a loud vibration, Ji Hao, Yu Mu and Yu Mu's souls were shaken, and they even saw stars dazzling in front of their eyes.
Si Wen Ming continued in a deep voice, "Today, all elders and I are here to ask you, are you willing to join the inner palace of the Magi Palace and become inner palace Magi?"
Si Wen Ming continued, "I ask you again, can you protect the humankind forever, and never betray it?"
From the Wizard Staff, a ghastly pressure swept out and covered the entire tent.
