This light crack, like a heavy hammer, smashed on the heart of every member of the Heaven Sword Martial Club.
Zhang Ruxue, whose neck was broken, was thrown to the ground by Li Mu casually like a rag doll.
"This is what I want to say … Owner Zhang, if you have any objection, you can come to me at any time. These days, I will be in the Pig-Herding Alley in the west district of Chang 'an."
Li Mu withdrew his arm and gently touched the chrysanthemum leopard.
"Let's go."
He dashed out of the martial arts club.
The chrysanthemum leopard growled, and when it looked at the man in the uniform of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, its eyes were full of hatred.
But it still obeyed Li Mu's words, roared, and followed him.
The leopard was the king of the forest, and it could jump as fast as flying. The chrysanthemum leopard was an exotic beast in Taibai Mountain. Even if it carried the dead bodies of Xia Ju and Qiu Yi, it still jumped as fast as lightning and could keep up with Li Mu's slightly slowed down speed.
"Stop them!"
Someone was shouting.
Zhang Chengfeng waved his hand with a gloomy face. "Don't chase them."
"Owner?"
The disciples of the martial club and the senior elders all looked at Zhang Chengfeng.
Zhang Chengfeng walked over and picked up Zhang Chuixue's body. His son was killed in front of him. How could he not be angry? He was so angry that he almost went crazy. However, he could not stop Li Mu even if he caught up with him. The more powerful he was, the more he knew how terrible a super master in the Great Master Realm was. It was beyond the reach of human beings. If he tried to stop Li Mu now, he would just die.
Even he couldn't stop a super powerhouse in the Great Grandmaster Realm.
After all, he hadn't taken the last step.
"Owner, are we just going to let it go? We have to avenge the death of our young master. Otherwise, if the news spreads out, the prestige of our Heaven Sword Martial Club will be ruined. Moreover, the underground maze was destroyed, and we suffered a heavy loss." Elder Lu couldn't swallow it. He was punched away by Li Mu before, so he was ashamed and angry, and hoped that Zhang Chengfeng could catch Li Mu to avenge him.
"Yes, master, this guy is arrogant and killed my junior fellow apprentice. I can't live with him." A young man in his twenties said indignantly. He was one of Zhang Chengfeng's personal disciples, and he was showing his loyalty at this moment.
The other disciples also looked like they were bound by a common enemy.
Zhang Chengfeng held Zhang Chuixue in his arms, looking sad and gloomy.
"Of course not! Old ancestor, please come out of seclusion!" He said word by word, "There is more than one Great Master in Chang 'an … An outsider wants to cover the sky with one hand. Hehe, our Heaven Sword Martial Club also has the power to bury a Great Master."
…
…
Fifteen minutes later.
Li Mu returned to the Pig-Herding Alley.
Li Mu's mother and the others finally got Xia Ju back. When they saw Xia Ju come back safely, they were all very excited. But when they heard the news of Qiu Yi's death, they were extremely sad.
"My poor Qiu Yi …" Li Mu's mother burst into tears.
Over the years, Li Mu's mother survived because of the service of these maids. She was the daughter of a noble family, so what she learned before was some noble etiquette, demeanor, appreciation of art, and poetry. She had never been to the kitchen. When she was driven out of the Li Mansion, she almost fell into a desperate situation. Thanks to the protection of the four maids, Grassy, Xia Ju, Qiu Yi, and Dong Xue, she might not be alive today. Therefore, in her heart, she actually regarded these maids as her own daughters. How could she not be sad when she heard the news of Qiu Yi's death?
Li Mu hurriedly comforted her.
Grassy and Xia Ju also tried to persuade her.
In the past two days, Li Mu's mother encountered good things and bad things one after another, so she was very emotional, so she was drowsy and soon fell asleep. Two maids went into the room to serve her.
By that time, the renovation of the courtyard had come to an end.
Zheng Cunjian's influence in Chang 'an was indeed impressive. In just half a morning, the renovation of the small courtyard had basically been completed. He had planted lawns, reinforced and enlarged the well, and planted some flowers and trees in the yard. The walls of the courtyard had been replaced by bamboo, which was verdant and lush. The layout of the entire courtyard had been completely changed. It now looked like a small garden with quiet and beautiful scenery.
Li Mu's mother's thatched cottage was not changed, because the old woman was very nostalgic.
In addition, several antique houses were built with wood and stone in the yard. They were the new residence of Li Mu's mother, the residence of Grassy and the others, and Li Mu's own residence, as well as a training room, a quiet room, and a three-story wooden building, which was more than ten meters high. It was the tallest building in the entire alley. Standing on the top of the building, one could see everything within several kilometers.
Around the house, there were also canals, where water was drawn from the well by a waterwheel. The canals were very beautiful.
Zheng Cunjian had put a lot of thought into it.
To be able to complete such a workload in one morning, it could be said that he was extremely efficient. Thinking about it, after he went back last night, he must have prepared all the materials and semi-finished products when he came in the morning, which was why he could be so fast.
"Young Master, are you satisfied with it?" Zheng Cunjian came to ask for instructions anxiously.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Very good. You can leave with your men. There is nothing special to do these days. You can secretly help me collect martial arts secret books and magic arts. The higher the level, the better. As for the other things, you can also go back to the magistrate's mansion and do whatever you want. If I want to find you, you will naturally know." Of course, he would know. With a little prompting from the Life-and-Death Spell, he understood.
"Yes, sir." Zheng Cunjian bowed and said, "I'm waiting for Young Master's order."
Li Mu waved him off.
Zheng Cunjian led a group of construction workers out of the small courtyard according to the route they took in the morning.
Li Mu looked around and could not help but sigh with emotion.
No wonder, whether on Earth or in this world, everyone loved power and money. It felt so good to be rich and powerful. In such a short time, he had built a small country villa in the slum, with a garden and a lawn. The only thing missing was a man-made swimming pool.
He came to his room, which was already furnished with ready-made furniture, bedding, and clothes, which were enough for him to change into and out of clothes. Basically, everything in this world was natural. Therefore, there were no pollution factors such as decoration and construction. So, he could move in at any time.
Li Mu's study, living room, quiet room, and training room were all connected. The latter two were on the third floor of the small building, which was enclosed and quiet.
In the study, there were 10 neatly cut white jade materials, each of which was the size of a washbasin. They were of excellent quality and were worth a lot of money.
Li Mu asked Zheng Cunjian to prepare them in advance.
The Taoist magic arts imparted by the old faker were strange in every way. But there was one thing that Li Mu, with his current attainments and level, would find it very difficult to draw a tactical deployment or some other slightly complicated Taoist magic arts with his bare hands. He needed a certain carrier, especially for tactical deployments. Without a carrier, it would be very difficult. And the so-called carrier, according to the old faker, was jade. The better the quality of the jade, the better the effect.
When he set up the Earth Evil Polaris Formation in Taibai County, Li Mu used a lot of jade materials, changed the terrain, and even changed the geomancy.
Setting up a tactical deployment had always been a costly thing.
Fortunately, the tactical deployment Li Mu set around the courtyard was not as complicated as the one in Taibai County. It was just a defensive illusory tactical deployment called the Tianluo Smoke Deployment, which could make trespassers lost in it and make them unable to find a way out. It could even change the space to a certain extent and make people lose their senses.
He did not plan to live here for a long time.
Although Chang 'an was prosperous, the air was polluted because of the large number of people. It was not as rich in Spiritual Qi as in Taibai Mountain.
Li Mu thought.
Among the four maids, the last one was Dong Xue, who was in Ning Mansion and had not been brought back.
Dong Xue was the first maid to be forced to leave, and she was also the oldest one among the four maids. She was regarded as the big sister by the other three girls. When the magistrate of Chang 'an tried to make things difficult for Li Mu, she was the first one to stand up and sacrifice herself. After she went to Ning Mansion, there had been no news of her, and no one knew what happened to her.
However, Li Mu did not provoke Ning Mansion. There were no people like Zhou Yu and Zhang Chuixue behind him, so he was not in a hurry to rescue Dong Xue.
Sitting in the study, Li Mu began to sculpt and make a Taoist instrument to nurture the soul of Qiu Yi.
However, it was not so easy to make a Taoist instrument. It took a certain amount of energy.
Moreover, Li Mu had no experience in refining Taoist instruments before this. Most of his knowledge came from the old faker's nagging, half-true and half-false indoctrination. It could be said that it was all theoretical knowledge. Li Mu was just an armchair strategist. As the saying went, "What you get on paper is shallow, but what you know must be practiced." Li Mu still had to accumulate some practical refining experience.
About two hours passed.
Li Mu used up three basin-sized jade materials to make a palm-sized embryo of Taoist instrument.
The so-called embryo of Taoist instrument was not a Taoist instrument in the full sense, and it still needed to be refined.
The basic meaning of the Taoist magic arts taught by the old faker was all about the spiritual force. Li Mu's spiritual force was tempered by the Xiantian Skill, so he could bear the Taoist magic arts like Secondary Thunder Attraction, so he should have reached a certain level of attainment. However, this thing was not specifically quantified. The old faker did not tell him, and Li Mu did not understand the magic system of this world, so he did not know to what extent he had reached.
And refining the embryo of Taoist instrument into a Taoist instrument needed to be done with spiritual force.
The specific process … was similar to meditation and visualization.
Li Mu released his spiritual force, and the embryo of Taoist instrument in front of him, which was palm-sized and shaped like a coffin, slowly floated up.
The so-called spiritual power sounds very mysterious, but in fact, there were some humans with special abilities on Earth who could move objects with their minds, twist steel bars with their minds, open locks with their minds, and so on. This was all because of the coincidental opening of spiritual power. Some scientists have said that the human brain is less than 10% developed. If one can surpass this number, they can produce special abilities and do things that ordinary people can't achieve. The correctness of this theory is not discussed, but the idea is generally correct.
Now, in Li Mu's view, spiritual force, like internal qi and internal force, was a manifestation of power, but a little more special.
He controlled his spiritual force and began to carve on the embryo of Taoist instrument.
