The Sword Appreciation Festival began.
The first two of the three tests were placed directly on the square.
All the immortals who came to participate in the sword appreciation could freely observe and answer the questions.
Only those who passed the first two tests were qualified to approach the crystal sword coffin and try to see if they had the fate of the sword.
The bell rang.
Countless figures were rushing towards the array formation and the incomplete diagrams of the pill recipe.
There was no order for the two tests. Either the array or the pill recipe could be completed first.
This made Li Mu even more certain of Sword Crafting Pavilion's intentions.
They wanted those who coveted the Phoenix Cry Sword to work for them for free.
"I am interested in the Divine Sword. If I obtain the Phoenix Cry Divine Sword, I will owe the Sword Forging Pavilion a favor. I might as well take this opportunity to complete the formation and pill formulas and help them out. This can be considered as returning the favor. In the end, if I really obtain the Divine Sword, I won't have to accept the position of a guest elder."
Li Mu didn't reject Sword Crafting Pavilion's actions.
He first came to the incomplete array.
The experts who had been surrounding the formation map money immediately made way for Li Mu. They all looked at him in awe and avoided him like snakes and scorpions.
Li Mu couldn't be bothered with these people and looked up at the array.
"Hmm? The Five Earth Spirit Gathering Array? "
The name of the array was written on the array.
Li Mu had done a lot of research on array formations. He originally thought that the array formations of the Immortal World might be quite brilliant and that what he had learned might not be enough, so he only looked at it with the mentality of giving it a try.
However, he was extremely shocked when he saw it.
Because he knew everything about this array formation.
It was mentioned in the inheritance of the Canghai Sect.
The Canghai Sect had four unique inheritances: array, pill, sword, and beast taming.
Li Mu first obtained the beast taming inheritance of Lu Haoran, the Beast Taming Immortal. Then, under the guidance of Lu Haoran's divine will in the painting, he took out the inheritances of Liu Qingfeng, Lin Yixing, and Chu Changfeng.
Among them, Liu Qingfeng, the Chaotic Sky and Earth Unraveling, was a master of tactical deployment.
These days, Li Mu had also read the inheritance books left by Elder Liu Qingfeng, which mentioned many tactical deployments of various sizes.
Coincidentally, it included an analysis of the Five Square Earth Spirit Gathering Array.
This array formation was from before the Immortal Collapse Era.
Furthermore, it was just a very, very small array.
It was mostly used to cultivate spirit fields and spirit soil. In the past, among the many agricultural cultivation sects, this array was the most basic array for cultivating immortal food.
Li Mu knew this tactical deployment very well after he had seen it.
"Interesting."
He laughed.
What a coincidence.
Rumor had it that the Sword Forging Pavilion had a few spiritual fields that grew immortal food.
It seemed like the Sword Forging Pavilion wanted to find another agricultural cultivator formation to increase the output of the spirit fields.
After Li Mu finished reading, he looked around and found that most of the immortals were looking at the incomplete formation map, pointing at it or thinking hard. Obviously, there were no clues. There were also a few people who took the formation engraving pen and immortal jade from the hands of the true disciples of the Sword Forging Pavilion and began to complete the formation.
Li Mu thought for a moment, then took the tools that he had prepared a long time ago from a disciple of the Sword Pavilion next to him and began to carve and complete the formation.
He did not put on an act. In just a few breaths of time, he had completed the formation and handed it over to the Sword Forging Pavilion disciple.
In the distance.
When Li Mu began to complete the formation map, the gazes of Tie Wujin, Tie Wuqing, Tie Wuxin, and the others seemed to be glued to Li Mu.
They had high hopes for Li Mu.
After all, he was a hidden genius rogue cultivator.
But when they saw Li Mu hand over the formation map and immortal jade in just a few breaths of time, they immediately felt a sense of unease and disappointment.
It seemed that this Young Master Mu did not know much about tactical deployment and was just doing it for show.
It had to be known that the [Five Directions Earth Spirit Gathering Formation] was an extremely rare agricultural formation. It had an inconceivable effect in cultivating spirit fields and increasing the production of immortal food. The Sword Crafting Pavilion had coincidentally obtained an incomplete version of this ancient formation. All these years, they had been trying to complete it, but unfortunately, they had not succeeded.
This time, they had taken out the incomplete formation map as a test to block 99% of the competitors from entering the Sword Appreciation Festival.
Of course, there was also a 1% chance.
What if someone could really complete it?
Tie Wujin and the others had placed their hopes on Mu Mu and the Eighth Prince.
But seeing that Mu Mu had finished so quickly, they knew that he had retreated.
"Sect Master, Pavilion Masters, this is Young Master Mu's answer."
Gu Junru personally retrieved the immortal jade from the Sword Forging Pavilion disciple and handed it to Tie Wujin and the others.
Tie Wujin was disappointed. He took it and injected his primordial spirit into it.
"This is …"
His eyes widened abruptly.
"Hmm? Big Brother, what's wrong? "
Tie Wuqing and Tie Wuxin also exclaimed when they saw the sect master's expression.
Tie Wujin quickly calmed himself down and took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart. He tried to appear calm and said, "It's nothing. You … see for yourselves."
He handed over the immortal jade.
Heartless Iron and Heartless Iron looked at the formation carved in the celestial jade, and their expressions changed in an instant.
The shock and ecstasy in their eyes almost overflowed.
Although they were not formation masters, they had put a lot of effort into studying and analyzing the Five Direction Earth Spirit Gathering Formation over the years. As soon as they saw the formation diagram in the Fairy Jade, they immediately realized that they had really obtained the complete formation diagram this time.
Not to mention anything else, the smooth patterns, the smooth connection, the beautiful lines, and the subtle immortal power that floated as if they were a whole, everything was more perfect than what they had imagined.
"Big Brother, we …"
The two looked at Tie Wujin.
Tie Wujin said, "Just know it. Don't spread it."
The two nodded.
That was right.
The Five Square Earth Spirit Gathering Formation was not an ordinary formation. It was said that if it was set up properly, even ordinary soil could be turned into spiritual fields. The complete formation was enough to make all forces jealous.
The spiritual fields of the Sword Forging Pavilion had been destroyed a few days ago, which was the lifeline of the Sword Forging Pavilion. But with these formation maps, it was only a matter of time before they could make up for the loss.
Heaven never bars one's way.
When they looked at Li Mu again, the awe in their eyes was even more obvious.
This Young Master Mu Mu was definitely not simple.
Before the shock in her heart had subsided, Gu Junru brought over another piece of Immortal Jade and said, "Sect Leader, two Pavilion Masters, inside this is the completed elixir recipe of the Green Wood Vitality Pill that Young Master Mu made."
Tie Wujin's heart skipped a beat. He took the immortal jade and looked at it.
A look of extreme shock appeared on his face again.
"You guys take a look too."
He handed the immortal jade to Tie Wuxin and Tie Wuqing.
After the two Pavilion Masters finished reading, they looked at each other, and their eyes reflected the same surprised and ecstatic faces.
The Green Wood Essence Enhancing Pill was also a big problem for the Sword Forging Pavilion.
With the complete pill formula, one could use the most ordinary immortal food to refine an Essence Enhancing Pill, which could greatly increase the efficiency of cultivation and the efficiency of immortal food. Compared to directly eating immortal food, the effect of cultivation was many times stronger.
This ancient pill formula was obtained with the formation diagram of the Five Square Earth Spirit Gathering Formation in the ruins of a lost immortal sect. Unfortunately, it was incomplete.
The effort the Sword Forging Pavilion had put into this pill formula was definitely no less than that of the formation diagram.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had been enlightened as soon as he finished reading Mu Mu's completed prescription. The fog in front of his eyes had been swept away in an instant.
Although they could not be 100% sure that this pill formula was completely correct.
But their intuition told them that it was most likely correct.
They did not expect it.
They really did not expect it.
This Young Master Li Mu was not only an Immortal Beast Taming Master, but also a powerful sword cultivator. He also had amazing attainments in alchemy and formations.
This kind of person could no longer be simply described as a genius.
He should be a Chosen One.
There was actually such a person in the Fragrance Plains.
In the future, it would not be long before Mu Mu's name would resound throughout the Moon River Mansion, right?
The three Pavilion Masters of the Sword Forging Pavilion were all shocked and in awe.
The others did not understand what was going on, but Gu Junru had guessed some clues. The shock in the beautiful girl's heart far exceeded that of the three Pavilion Masters.
When he looked at Li Mu again, his eyes were a little blurred.
Which woman would not be tempted by such a handsome Chosen One?
Gu Junru knew this very well. Young Master Mu Mu was like the sun in the sky, and she was just a grain of sand on the ground. If she wanted to get close to the sun, she would only be seeking her own pain.
There were many beautiful female cultivators in the Celestial World.
She did not even have an advantage in the field she was most confident in.
Not to mention her background, aptitude, strength, talent, and other aspects.
About four hours later, the first two tests of the Sword Appreciation Festival ended.
There were more than two hundred experts from various forces and rogue cultivators present. Only six people had passed the two tests, including Li Mu and the Eighth Prince. There were four other people, one man and three women, whom Li Mu did not know.
"I was able to complete the array and pill recipe because in the inheritances left behind by the two elders of the Blue Sea Sect, Liu Qingfeng and the Ageless Medicine King Lin Yixing, there were records of arrays and pill recipes. The Eighth Prince and the others passed the test. Could it be that they also know the ancient pill recipes and ancient arrays from before the Celestial Collapse Era?"
Li Mu pondered.
However, he did not know that he himself had passed because he had given the correct answer.
The Eighth Prince and the other four people had already been selected by the Sword Forging Pavilion to be the master of the Phoenix Cry Divine Sword. They were all powerful and influential figures, and the Eighth Prince was the most powerful.
These five people only needed to randomly fill in the blanks. As long as they were not bad and could mislead people and gods, they would be successfully selected.
"Everyone, the two tests have ended. A total of six people have passed the test. Congratulations to them."
Tie Wuxie said loudly.
"Those who did not pass the first two tests, don't be discouraged. The Sword Forging Pavilion has prepared gifts for everyone …"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
A row of Forging Sword Pavilion true inheritors carried more than two hundred sharp weapons onto the plaza. They gave off a cold Qi. Although they were not Ranked Grade Immortal Equipment, they were close to Rank 1 Divine Weapons. The exquisite weapons of the Forging Sword Pavilion were very valuable.
How generous.
Those who did not pass the first two tests received their weapons, and the resentment in their hearts dissipated a lot.
In particular, there were a few experts who had more complete arrays or pill recipes, and they each received a second-grade immortal artifact. This made everyone praise the Sword Forging Pavilion's actions.
In the end, only Li Mu, the Eighth Prince, and the other five people arrived before the crystal sword coffin.
The last test —
The test of sword affinity.
