Walking in the formation, Li Mu began to further improve some details.
This was the first time he set up a formation. Many parts were based on his deduction, so he had to be careful.
Soon, under Li Mu's adjustment, the Earth Evil Polaris Formation ran more and more smoothly.
Just like a new car, it could not exert its real speed until it was worn in.
For example, just now, when the power of the Earth Evil Polaris was launched, it caused a strange phenomenon in the county government. Li Mu knew that. But after the power of the Earth Evil Polaris was launched, the two kinds of power were in harmony, and the strange phenomenon would gradually disappear. All the power would not be released, as if it had been washed away.
Especially as Li Mu continued to adjust the Earth Evil Polaris Formation, the strange phenomenon completely disappeared.
In this way, even if a great master came to the outside of the county government, he would not notice anything unusual.
The mountains were still mountains, the water was still water, and the trees, flowers, and rocks were all the same.
In this way, it would not attract unnecessary coveting and trouble.
Of course, once someone disobeyed the rules and broke into the formation, everything would change in an instant.
At that time, when the power of the Earth Evil Polaris broke out, the killing intent would immediately appear, and the world would be turned upside down.
Even if there were thousands of troops, they would not be able to get out.
As long as Li Mu wanted to, he could manipulate the tactical deployment and evolve it into all kinds of changes. Like a maze, he could instantly trap or kill a Master Realm expert in the Earth Evil Polaris Formation.
…
"It … it's back to normal?"
Wang Chen was shocked again.
Qin Zhen, who was standing at the side, was also surprised.
Because they found it hard to understand that they could see the Taibai county government again. The trees, flowers, rockeries, ditches, vermilion gates, red walls, green bricks and blue tiles were all clearly visible. The white mist that shrouded the entire county government before completely disappeared when the sun shone on it, and so did the mysterious fairy aura.
The county government returned to normal.
It was as if everything that happened before was an illusion and never happened.
However, neither Qin Zhen nor Wang Chen would regard what had just happened as an illusion.
Because their intuition told them that the county government in front of them had changed.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. This Li Mu has a very mysterious background. Not only does he possess extraordinary strength, but he may also have the support of a super force. If Your Highness can draw him to your side, maybe …" Wang Chen could not help but try to persuade Li Mu again.
Again and again, he was shocked and surprised because of Li Mu. So, he had to improve his evaluation of Li Mu again. For example, this time, it was obvious that there was a warlock in the county government. Such a task could be regarded as a strategic one in any of the three empires. It was very likely that the warlock was from Li Mu's school. If such a figure chose to stand with Her Highness, it was enough to change the status of Her Highness and her brother in the empire in an instant. At least, they would have the power to protect themselves.
Qin Zhen smiled and said, "Master, have you never thought that the force behind Li Mu may have bigger ambitions and is not something we can rope in?"
Wang Chen was taken aback.
He had overlooked this point.
Indeed, in this world, there were countless experts. But there would never be a Great Master who had no background. Wang Chen was eager to draw Li Mu to his side, so he did not consider this point.
Before that, Wang Chen only thought that Li Mu was an insignificant county magistrate and a member of the imperial officialdom. So, as long as Her Highness promised him power and status, he should be able to be drawn to her side. But on second thought, since there was a warlock in the Great Master behind him, why would Li Mu be satisfied with being an insignificant county magistrate in this remote town?
Perhaps Li Mu was actually a pawn of another force in the empire?
If that was the case …
Wang Chen immediately realized that he had oversimplified things because of his habitual thinking.
No wonder Li Mu didn't appreciate his kindness at all even though he had repeatedly shown it to him.
"Mr. Wang, you've been a little impatient recently." Qin Zhen's beautiful face was full of sincerity and gratitude. She said, "I know you're worried about me and my brother. But haste makes waste. Now it seems that Li Mu is just a small pawn in that mysterious force. Since this small pawn is put in the open, it shows that his status is not high and he can't make any decisions. He's just a small potato. Don't worry about him. We just need to keep a close eye on his movements. We only need to get in touch with the warlock in the Great Master behind him or other higher-level figures who have the right to speak and make decisions."
"Your Highness, I see." Wang Chen nodded.
He was already planning how to figure out who on earth the mysterious force behind Li Mu was.
So, he still had to rely on Li Mu to solve this problem.
Since Her Highness disdained to deal with a small potato like Li Mu, then this kind of thing should be done by him.
He did not care about Qin Zhen's tactful criticism. In fact, he was already used to it.
It was widely believed that Wang Chen, the Wind Gentleman, was the brains of Qin Zhen, the princess. The upper echelons of the entire Western Qin Empire also shared the same opinion. Many people believed that it was because of Wang Chen's assistance that Qin Zhen could safely survive so many storms in Qin City, which was full of ups and downs. With a younger brother who was not favored by the emperor and a fragmented force, she had managed to hold on for such a long time.
However, what the world didn't know was that many of the major decisions and plans of the past, many of which were still considered by many people to be brilliant moves, were actually the young and beautiful Princess Qin Zhen herself.
Wang Chen was the only one who knew about this.
The real wise one was Qin Zhen.
This beautiful princess, who was known as the most stunning beauty in the history of the Western Qin Empire, actually possessed more amazing wisdom than her beauty. But, she had always been used to hiding her talents.
After being reminded by Qin Zhen, Wang Chen secretly adjusted his mentality.
"Sister, Mr. Wang, have you noticed that the Spiritual Qi in the attic seems to be much richer than usual?" The young prince Qin Zheng suddenly said excitedly.
He was most sensitive to the richness of the Spiritual Qi because of the Bright Jade Skill he practiced.
Qin Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, it's at least three times richer."
As a martial arts master, she had naturally felt it.
But, in her view, it was nothing strange.
Obviously, it was the result of the dissipation of the supernatural power of the mysterious Great Grandmaster warlock in the county government after he cast the Thunder Magic. After all, the power contained in such a horrible Thunder Magic was so formidable that even if the casting of the Thunder Magic was over, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth forcibly gathered by the supernatural power would not completely dissipate in an instant. Instead, it would dissipate into the void and cause the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth around the county government to increase sharply.
That was normal.
And Wang Chen obviously had the same idea as Princess Qin Zhen, so he didn't care about the increase of the Spiritual Qi in the air.
In another half a day, when the magic power of the thunder method dissipated, the Spiritual Qi in the air would gradually become thin.
…
In the county government.
The little swan, Zhao Ling, stood in the garden of the back office in shock.
She certainly saw the strange phenomenon of the thunder and lightning just now, but that was not the reason why she was shocked.
She didn't know the true face of Mount Lushan because she was in the mountain.
Perhaps because she was in the mountain, she didn't have a clearer sense of the horror of the thunder and lightning as the people outside. Because the thunder and lightning were blocked by the dark clouds, Zhao Ling couldn't see the scene outside the county government. She thought the whole Taibai County was shrouded in thunder and lightning, so she took the change as a large-scale meteorological anomaly.
What shocked Zhao Ling was that the Spiritual Qi in the county government was more than ten times richer than before.
Only some underground Spiritual Veins on the main peak of Mount Taibai could have such a degree of Spiritual Qi.
But even in the Taibai Sword Faction, there were only dozens of such places. Only the top leaders of the faction and the real elite core disciples, such as her brother Zhao Yu, were qualified to enter those places for closed-door training. Although Zhao Ling was also a genius, she couldn't get such a place because she hadn't reached the Master Realm yet.
"Practicing in such an environment will yield twice the result with half the effort."
Zhao Ling gasped for air greedily.
"If I can practice in such a place with such rich Spiritual Qi for a year, it will be a blessing from heaven."
Such an idea popped up in her mind.
But she also knew that it was impossible.
Although he didn't understand why the abnormal phenomenon of thunder and lightning would increase the density of the Spiritual Qi in the air, he knew that the county government was not a blessed place. Therefore, the dense Spiritual Qi would definitely dissipate with the passage of time, and everything would return to normal in the end.
At that moment, a voice sounded behind her.
"How dare you slack off here? How's the patient I asked you to take care of? "
Quietly, Li Mu appeared behind Zhao Ling.
"You … When did you get here? How dare you peep at me? "Zhao Ling was startled. She spun around and glared at him.
"Peep your ass!" Without hesitation, Li Mu gave the proud little swan a slap on the face and said, "I am the county magistrate. Everything in this county government, including you, belongs to me. Why do I have to peep at you, a maidservant who hasn't even grown her hair yet?"
"Ah, you …" Zhao Ling cried out in pain. She gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't dodge. The slap on her forehead made her so angry that she unsheathed the long sword at her waist. "You lecher! If you dare to touch me again, I'll kill you …"
"Humph!" Li Mu casually patted Zhao Ling's long sword back into its sheath.
With a contemptuous look, he said, "Don't flatter yourself. You're so ugly. Even if I'm hungry, I won't flirt with you … I'm asking you something. How's the treatment for Secretary Feng and the others going? Don't forget that you've made a military order. There's a time limit. "
"You said I'm ugly?
Are you blind? "
Zhao Ling was about to lose her mind, but there was nothing she could do.
By now, she had a deep understanding of how terrifying Li Mu, the devil, was.
Compared to Li Mu, she was not at the same level at all.
In front of Li Mu, her outstanding swordsmanship, which she had always been proud of among her peers and brothers, was like a joke. She had no chance to fight back. No wonder Elder Zhou Zhenyue was defeated without putting up a fight. "Feng and Zhen can get out of bed at will.
"Feng and Zhen can get out of bed and walk at will. In three days at most, the scars on their bodies will fall off. In three months, the scars will disappear completely. As for Ma, he will be able to get out of bed in five days as well. As for the little attendant, thanks to the bowl of blood, his legs are barely saved. But his muscles are atrophied and his bones are extremely fragile. If there is no miracle, it will be very difficult for him to get out of bed." Zhao Ling gnashed her teeth and said.
After a pause, she added, "Of course, if the density of the Spiritual Qi in the county government can be maintained like this, in another six or seven years, perhaps the little attendant will be able to walk. But … Humph, can you make the Spiritual Qi so abundant?"
"Can the density of the Spiritual Qi also help with healing?" Li Mu was delighted. He ignored the little swan's provocation and asked.
Zhao Ling's pretty face was filled with contempt. She said, "Don't you know that? Of course, the Spiritual Qi can heal wounds, because it can not only be used to cultivate internal qi and Dharma power, but also nourish everything. It is the most magical power in the world. In a place where the Spiritual Qi is abundant, even the green onions will taste better than those grown in ordinary places. "
Li Mu burst into laughter.
"You're right. Haha, tomorrow, I'll order people to open up a vegetable garden in the county government to plant green onions, radishes, peppers, and water spinach. Haha, right, I'll also raise chickens, ducks, and pigs. Hahaha …" Li Mu had a new plan.
The little swan's angry words reminded him of something.
In a place where the Spiritual Qi was abundant, the things that grew were more vigorous and energetic than those grown in ordinary places. That kind of energy could enter his body through food and be absorbed by his body, which had been transformed by the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing. That was also one of the functions of the tactical deployments.
In the old faker's description, those immortal sects specially opened up Spiritual Fields and Spiritual Gardens to plant crops and all kinds of medicines. Eating that kind of immortal food for a long time would improve the cultivator's physique to a level close to that of a Natural Body. Practicing all kinds of Cultivation Methods would yield twice the result with half the effort. It could be said that they had won at the starting line.
At that time, that kind of thing sounded like a myth to Li Mu.
But now, Li Mu firmly believed that it was true.
Now that he had successfully set up the tactical deployments and changed the intensity of the Spiritual Qi in the county government, although it was not as good as those immortal sects mentioned by the old faker, it was definitely better than many sects in that world. What they grew might not be immortal wheat, immortal herbs, or immortal medicines, but they were definitely full of Spiritual Qi. Ordinary people would be strong and healthy after eating them, and cultivators could improve their cultivation. Over time, even a sow could become a demon after eating the Spiritual Qi.
Li Mu wanted to go out of the stars within 20 years and change the fate of Earth being demolished. So, as long as he could improve his strength, he would give it a try.
But when Zhao Ling heard Li Mu's words, she laughed contemptuously.
"You're dreaming, aren't you? The concentration of Spiritual Qi brought by the unusual weather will dissipate in two or three days. Even if you turn the county government into a breeding farm, it'll be too late. You'd better stop daydreaming." Obviously, she did not have the awareness of a maidservant and would not let go of any chance to taunt Li Mu.
Li Mu rudely gave the little swan another slap on the forehead and said, "What if from now on, the county government is always this rich in Spiritual Qi?"
"You …" Zhao Ling covered her forehead and snapped, "That's impossible!"
"Hahahaha …" Li Mu spun around and left. "You silly girl with long hair but short vision, just wait and see."
Watching Li Mu swagger away, Zhao Ling rubbed her forehead and cursed, "You damn stupid devil, keep dreaming!"
In the past few days, after treating the little attendant and the others, she had roughly learned the cause and effect of what happened in the county. Born with a strong sense of justice, she also abhorred the deeds of Zheng Cunjian and the others. Therefore, she was very sympathetic to the injured, especially the little attendant.
Therefore, although she looked reluctant in front of Li Mu, in fact, she was very proactive in treating Qing Feng's injuries. She tried all kinds of methods and stayed by the little attendant's side day and night. That was how she miraculously saved the little attendant's legs when the latter's legs were almost rotten.
Also, after learning the cause and effect of the incident, especially after she learned that Li Mu cut his wrist and let his blood bleed to heal the little attendant's wound, Zhao Ling's opinion of Li Mu had actually changed. At least, he was no longer the brutal, murderous maniac she had imagined him to be. She, who had the heart of a saint, even secretly planned to influence Li Mu with her own efforts so that he could mend his ways and turn over a new leaf.
But at this moment, after being taunted by Li Mu and called him "roasted chestnuts", Zhao Ling's slightly improved opinion of Li Mu immediately disappeared. She wished she could poke a dozen holes in Li Mu's body with her sword.
"I really can't understand why a smart and kind boy like Qing Feng would have such a cruel and unreasonable master like Li Mu. Could it be that he was threatened? "
Zhao Ling began to imagine how she could save the little attendant from Li Mu's clutches.
"By the way, why does this devil's blood have such strong vitality?"
She thought of the conundrum that had been bothering her for days.
Had it not been for Li Mu's bowl of blood, she would not have been able to guarantee that Feng Yuanxing and the others could fully recover in half a month without leaving any scars, nor could she save Qing Feng's legs for the time being. The vitality contained in that bowl of blood simply shattered the inherent concept Zhao Ling had built up as a pharmacist.
If it were not for the fact that she was not as powerful as Li Mu, she really wanted to capture Li Mu and let out some of his blood to study him.
Even Zhao Ling herself did not notice that the more she thought about it, the more her anger dissipated. Instead, she became more and more curious about Li Mu.
There was a saying on Earth that went, "Curiosity killed the cat."
…
…
Li Mu did not return to the training room.
He went to the quiet room in the back office to check on Feng Yuanxing and the other wounded.
After making sure that they were on the verge of recovery as Zhao Ling had said, he felt a lot more relieved.
Especially Qing Feng, the little attendant. Although he had lost the ability to move his legs and could not stand up, the wounds on other parts of his body had almost healed. Moreover, under the care of the two female servants, Qing Feng seemed to be in good spirits. That made Li Mu heave a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry. I will find a way to cure your legs."
Li Mu promised the little attendant again.
A smile appeared on Qing Feng's face. His toughness made Li Mu feel ashamed.
"Your honor, Ming Yue …" The little attendant was most concerned about Ming Yue, the adorkable little girl.
It had been some days since the blind Taoist attacked the county government, but Ming Yue had not come back yet. Although the county government had assigned people to look for her and offered a reward in Jianghu, if anyone found any clue about Ming Yue, they could directly take the prisoner out of prison without paying the ransom. But until now, there was still no clue.
"Don't worry. I already got some news. I asked a friend to take care of her. She will be back soon." Li Mu said with a smile.
In fact, he was cursing inwardly.
"F * cking old beggar! How could he be so unreliable? He ran away with the flood dragon and the adorkable little girl Ming Yue."
"We agreed to meet in the county town. But after so many days, there is not even a shadow."
Li Mu was so angry that his teeth hurt. Why did he believe that old bastard at that time?
If Li Mu saw the old beggar again, he would definitely kill that talking yellow dog of his.
But Li Mu also knew that the old beggar really wanted to take Ming Yue as his disciple and kick her to dissolve the demon spirit in her body. So, he was sure that Ming Yue should not be in great danger for the time being. That was why he was not in a hurry to go on a rampage.
Coming out of the quiet room, Li Mu returned to the practice room.
He had been working day and night. As long as he felt tired, he would run the Xiantian Skill to recuperate. Then, all the tiredness would be swept away, and he would continue to work.
At present, in addition to improving his own cultivation, Li Mu's biggest task was to sort out all the skills and Cultivation Methods the old faker had taught him by recalling them. Even if the old faker said something casually, he had to ponder over it, ponder over it, and understand the meaning behind it.
After thoroughly understanding how abnormal the old faker was, Li Mu needed to sort out all the skills taught by the old faker into a general system as soon as possible. Only when he had a clear idea could he really integrate all the knowledge and make it work for himself.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, after breakfast, Li Mu ordered people to level all the gardens in the backyard of the county government, tidy up all the spare rooms, and shovel all the lawn that had just been paved in the dense forest by the cliff. Then, they began to build chicken houses, duck houses, pig pens, vegetable gardens, orchards, medicine gardens, and so on. He wanted to turn the whole county government into a small farm.
Such an order confused Feng Yuanxing and others who had started to return to work.
The scenery in the county government's garden was beautiful, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were planted in it. It was a scenic spot in Taibai County. Such a beautiful place was really wasted to be leveled and turned into a vegetable garden.
But no one dared to question Li Mu's decision.
The large-scale production activities were carried out vigorously.
Li Mu set up the Earth Evil Polaris Formation, and all the irrelevant people only needed to walk along the paved path to get in and out, and there would be no accidents.
In the next three days, Li Mu had been in closed-door training in the practice room.
But the result was a little disappointing.
Because even if the Spiritual Qi was ten times denser, he still couldn't cultivate internal qi.
But the effect of the Xiantian Skill to transform the spiritual force was greatly enhanced. Meanwhile, the effect of Zhenwu Boxing to strengthen the body and improve the physique was also significantly enhanced in the environment where the Spiritual Qi was ten times denser. This was a loss on the swings, but gain on the swings.
Five days later, Li Mu released all the Jianghu people who were imprisoned in the county government's prison.
Then, he secretly gave Qing Feng ten jade plates and asked him to drip blood on them to recognize them as the owner. Then, he taught him how to control the jade plates. Through the jade plates, Qing Feng could control the Earth Evil Polaris Formation and temporarily guard the county government. Even if there were masters in the Zongshi Master Realm, Qing Feng could still protect himself.
After doing all that, Li Mu left Taibai County.
He set off for Chang 'an with Zheng Cunjian to pick up Li Mu's mother from this world.
At the same time, he could take advantage of this trip to broaden his horizon and see the outside world.
