Just like some people with superpowers on the earth could use their spiritual force to control objects and twist steel bars, it was not difficult for Li Mu to carve characters on the jade Taoist embryo with his spiritual force. In fact, carving talismans was much more complicated than simply twisting a steel bar or a spoon. Fortunately, Li Mu's spiritual force had been activated by the Xiantian Skill, so his spiritual force was much stronger than that of those superpowered people on Earth.
He concentrated and controlled the invisible spiritual force, imagining those talisman patterns taught by the old faker in his mind. Then, as if there was an invisible engraving pen carving on the jade Taoist embryo, concave lines appeared one by one, and jade chips rustled down.
And so on.
What Li Mu carved on the jade Taoist embryo was the Yinshan Ghost Cultivating Diagram.
According to the old faker, the Yinshan Ghost Cultivating Diagram was a copy of the mountain and river pattern on the map of the underworld, which was a picture from the underworld. Carving such a pattern in the coffin was a must for many ancient powerful people to prepare for their own graves. It could nurture the souls of the dead and keep their mind and consciousness, just like ghost cultivators, so that they could be resurrected one day and return to the world.
Of course, the complete version of the ancient Yinshan Ghost Cultivating Diagram was too complicated, even the old faker could not demonstrate it clearly. The pattern Li Mu learned was only a part of it, and it was a simplified one. When the old faker performed religious rites in the village, he often drew it on the yellow joss paper to fool people, and kept saying that it was absolutely effective and very magical. At that time, Li Mu did not believe it, but now, he believed it.
The patterns on the inner wall of the jade Taoist embryo in the shape of a small jade coffin were only the size of a child's palm. Together with the small coffin lid, there were six pieces in total, and the two ends were smaller. Li Mu had to carve a Yinshan Ghost Cultivating Diagram on the inner wall of each piece, which was a test of his spiritual force.
Time flew.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The time in this world was more realistic than that of the ancient people in China on the earth. One hour was equivalent to two hours in the modern time on the earth.
After Li Mu finished carving two of the larger patterns, he felt dizzy and his vision was blurred.
This was a sign of overdraft of spiritual force.
"Phew, carving talismans is more energy-consuming than I imagined." Li Mu took a deep breath.
He stopped and turned to practice the Xiantian Skill to restore his energy.
He breathed rhythmically, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
An hour later, Li Mu regained his vigor.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he faintly found that after this practice, his Xiantian Skill that had been stagnant seemed to have a very obvious improvement. The most intuitive feeling was that the acuity of his five senses and six senses had been improved again. It was a very mysterious feeling, as if the whole world in front of him had become clearer.
After experiencing this change, Li Mu continued to refine the jade Taoist embryo and engrave the Yinshan Mountain Ghost Raising Painting.
"Huh? My mental power seems to have increased and become purer."
Li Mu soon noticed the difference.
This time, he only practiced the Xiantian Skill for an hour, but the effect was better than the previous dozens of days.
If it were someone else, he might not care too much about the difference, but Li Mu was different.
He was anxious to improve his strength and make himself stronger, so that he could go out of the stars and step into the universe so that he could return to his hometown, the earth. Therefore, he immediately grasped this obvious change of strength and realized that there must be a reason.
After thinking about it, the only reason was that before practicing the Xiantian Skill, he engraved the pattern of the Yinshan Mountain Ghost Raising Painting for two hours.
"Is engraving talismans a special way to cultivate spiritual force that can improve the effect of the Xiantian Skill?"
Li Mu immediately realized this.
He was excited.
The only thing that made him uncertain was how much his spiritual force had increased.
The old faker didn't tell him about this. How the strength of spiritual force was divided into levels, but Li Mu hadn't figured it out for the time being.
In the next six hours, Li Mu repeatedly engraved the Yinshan Mountain Ghost Raising Painting, and then practiced the Xiantian Skill in the middle. As expected, his previous guess was confirmed. Engraving talismans with spiritual force had absolutely obvious benefits for the Xiantian Skill.
This meant that Li Mu found a way to speed up the practice of the Xiantian Skill.
In the end, the Taoist instrument coffin, which was used to carry Qiu Yi's three souls and seven spirits, was engraved.
This was the first Taoist instrument that Li Mu refined, but it could only be regarded as the lowest Taoist instrument. Its only function was to nurture Yin spirits. Apart from that, it had no other power.
He summoned Qiu Yi's soul and let her enter the small jade coffin.
"How do you feel?"
"It's very comfortable, as if I'm in my mother's womb, more comfortable than in my own body. I feel that my soul is being strengthened, and all the fatigue and pain are eliminated. I've never felt so at ease." Qiu Yi's voice came from the small jade coffin.
Li Mu nodded.
This meant that the small jade coffin was a success.
"Perhaps I should find some time to inscribe and refine a few more Dao Artifacts, especially some that assist in battle. Once I succeed, then even if I'm surrounded and attacked by numerous experts of the same cultivation, I'll still be able to protect myself and advance and retreat freely."
Li Mu thought to himself.
Moreover, engraving Taoist instrument talismans could also improve spiritual force cultivation, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"What kind of Taoist instrument should I refine? Sword-nourishing Gourd? No, the legendary Taoist instrument is too high-grade. It's not something that I can refine now … Hmm, jade sword? That won't work either … Let me think about it. The old faker once said that. By the way, I can refine some Sky-shaking Thunder first. It should be the most powerful consumable Taoist instrument I can refine at present. "
In his heart, he made up his mind.
However, there were not enough jade materials left in the study.
"It seems that I have to find a way to get more jade materials. This matter still falls on Zheng Cunjian."
Generally speaking, the better the quality of jade, the higher the success rate of refining Taoist instruments.
Jade was the essence of heaven and earth.
Jade was the carrier that could carry the Great Way of heaven and earth.
As Li Mu thought about it, he found that the gold notes he extorted from Li Xiong, Zhou Yu, and the others were not enough to spend. If it went on like this, he had to find a way to make more money.
Even experts were troubled by money.
Li Mu stretched his body and came to the window on the third floor.
He looked outside and found that it was already afternoon. The slums around Pig-Herding Alley were bustling with activity. Smoke rose from kitchen chimneys, chickens and dogs could be heard, and there was the sound of children playing and playing. The scene was full of vitality and beauty.
All of a sudden, Li Mu saw another team of gorgeous carriages coming to the entrance of the Pig-Herding Alley.
Tall horses, red carriages, guards in embroidered clothes, bright armors, bright clothes, and vigorous horses.
This team of people was full of nobility, which was incompatible with the slums. Obviously, they were outsiders.
Li Mu fixed his eyes on them and found that the silver-armored knight in the front was holding a banner in his hand. The banner was painted with silver flames on a yellow background, with a red character "Ning" in the middle, which was very eye-catching. The banner was fluttering in the wind, full of power.
"Ning?" Li Mu thought of something. "Are they from the Wuwei General's Mansion?"
The last maid, Dong Xue, was sent to the Ning Mansion.
…
…
"Ancestor, please open the door."
In the depths of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, Zhang Chengfeng held up three purple incense sticks and lit them. Then, he knelt down respectfully in front of a stone tomb and said loudly.
Zhang Chuixue's body was placed in front of the wordless tombstone of the stone tomb.
However, there was no sound from the stone tomb.
"Ancestor, please open the door again."
Zhang Chengfeng kowtowed, and blood came out.
The purple incense was faintly curling up, emitting a strange smell. The smoke was condensed and did not disperse, like three strands of silk, flowing in the void, and finally drifted toward the tomb and got into the tomb.
"Ancestor, please open the door again." Zhang Chengfeng shouted and kowtowed again.
Suddenly, a gust of chilly wind blew around the stone tomb.
In an instant, the light around the stone tomb became dim, and the leaves on the ground floated up and swirled in the air, as if they were pulled by a mysterious force.
"What disturbs me?"
An old and hoarse voice came from the tomb.
"Ancestor, our Heaven Sword Martial Club was humiliated, and the underground maze was broken. Most of the imprisoned enemies escaped, and the big demon sealed in the No. 1 Heavenly Prison also escaped … Ancestor, it's a moment of life and death for our martial club. The opponent is a young Great Master, who killed my son, who is also the successor of our martial club …" Zhang Chengfeng gritted his teeth and told what happened before.
In the stone tomb, there was a strange silence.
After a long while, the hoarse voice sounded, "Is the thing ready?"
Zhang Chengfeng was overjoyed when he heard it. This meant that the ancestor finally agreed to open the door.
He slowly stood up and waved to the two young female disciples behind him.
These two female disciples were specially selected by him. They were good-looking and had already reached the Joint-thoughts level. Among all the female disciples in the Heaven Sword Martial Club, they could be regarded as the best. Moreover, the most important thing was that both of them were virgins with Vital Yin.
Clap, clap!
Zhang Chengfeng suddenly took action. In the unbelievable eyes of the two female disciples, he directly killed them with his palm as a sword and shattered their heart meridians. They fell in front of the stone tomb, and blood burst out from their wounds like a fountain.
Then, something strange happened.
The wordless tombstone flashed with a dim halo, as if it was alive. It sucked in all the virgin blood and devoured the blood of the dead.
"Ah, the taste of blood … Very good food." The hoarse voice gradually became younger as it said, "A Great Grandmaster in his teens? Interesting, a very suitable body. This is my chance. Li Mu, he will become my prey, hahaha! "
…
The Heaven Sword Martial Club was destroyed.
This explosive news spread like wildfire in Chang 'an.
At first, some people thought it was a joke and just a rumor. After all, the strength of the Heaven Sword Martial Club was so strong that its comprehensive strength could rank in the top 20 in Chang 'an City. Moreover, its owner, the Heaven-breaking Legend Sword, was a well-known master. There were many masters in the club, and there were nearly 10 super-class masters in the Master Realm. Who could single-handedly defeat such a force?
However, as the news became more and more intense, and all kinds of evidence came out, gradually, people understood that it turned out to be true.
Who was it?
Who was so tough that he could do such a thing?
After people inquired about it, an incredible answer appeared.
It was a young man less than 20 years old who did such a shocking thing.
Who was he?
Where did he come from?
Why did he come?
The whole Chang 'an City was in a frenzy.
