"Could it be that he has become as strong as our Head in just a dozen days?"
Zhao Ling speculated.
But she soon denied the idea.
Because it was simply impossible.
Through their conversation, Li Mu learned that under the care of Zhao Ling, the female pharmacist, Feng Yuanxing and Zhen Meng's injuries had all healed. Except for some scars on their bodies, they did not suffer any sequelae. As for Ma Junwu, except for the broken arm that could not regrow, his other injuries had all healed and he could walk freely.
Qing Feng, the enchanting little attendant, was the only one who had not recovered from the injuries on his legs below the knees due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, his legs were not amputated. It was just that his muscles had atrophied. Now, he could walk around in the county government with the help of a wheelchair.
"Is it possible for him to recover in the future?" Li Mu looked at the female pharmacist.
"Not necessarily." Zhao Ling answered expressionlessly.
If it was in the past, she would have definitely said 'impossible'. But now, to be honest, she really didn't dare to be sure.
Because what happened in the past dozen days had somewhat subverted her knowledge system as a pharmacist.
The recovery of Ma Junwu and the other two was beyond her most optimistic estimation.
But that was not the most incredible thing. The most incredible thing was Qing Feng's recovery. It was simply a miracle. She originally thought that Qing Feng had to amputate his legs because of the loss of qi and blood. From then on, he would be weak and sickly, and it would be difficult for him to live a long life. But what was the situation now? Not only did Qing Feng recover, but he was full of qi and blood as if he had never been injured. Moreover, his legs were not amputated at all. And the parts below his knees that were most seriously injured were only muscle atrophy.
"Why did all this happen?"
After a round of observation, Zhao Ling came to some conclusions.
For one thing, the Spiritual Qi in the county government was so rich that it was comparable to some secret cultivation places of the Taibai Sword Faction. For another, the blood left by Li Mu contained such strong vitality that it forcibly replenished little Qing Feng's lost qi and blood. It was like a miraculous elixir.
In fact, in the past few days, her curiosity about Li Mu had almost reached a peak.
And she had already admitted in her heart that Li Mu could not be the murderer who killed those fellow disciples.
Over the past few days, from Feng Yuanxing, Zhen Meng, Ma Junwu, Qing Feng, and many guards and female servants in the county government, she had learned a more real and clearer version of Li Mu, which had reversed her previous prejudice against him.
Moreover, because the county government was abnormally rich in Spiritual Qi, which could be compared to the Blessed Land, Zhao Ling's cultivation had been progressing very fast in the past dozens of days, which made her very happy. To some extent, it could be said that she had received Li Mu's kindness.
Therefore, he even had a good impression of Li Mu.
But she just couldn't bring herself to apologize to Li Mu.
Her sense of superiority and her pride as a female genius prevented her from being the one to speak first.
However, Li Mu was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to the delicate mind of this "captive".
All his attention was on Qing Feng.
"I will definitely cure you." Li Mu patted the little fellow on the shoulder and said in an affirmative tone.
Qing Feng wore a smile on his face. After experiencing a setback in his life, his mentality had become more mature. His temperament had changed dramatically. His smile and eyes made him look like a wise man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. He said, "Young Master, I also believe that I can recover."
Nowadays, his spiritual perseverance was as hard as steel.
Li Mu nodded.
After some arrangements, Li Mu's mother and the others finally settled down in the county government. Tired from the long journey, they soon fell asleep.
Li Mu politely refused Feng Yuanxing and the other officials' proposal to report their work to him. Instead, he encouraged them to do their own thing and then drove them out of the county government.
He called Qing Feng, the little attendant, to his practice room.
"I got a set of Cultivation Method in Chang 'an this time. It should be suitable for you to practice." Li Mu taught the first level of the simplified version of the Xiantian Skill to the little attendant.
That was also a decision he had made after careful consideration.
He needed to let the people around him grow up and have the ability to protect themselves so that they would not become a burden.
Moreover, Li Mu gradually began to feel that it was better to cultivate a large number of subordinates than to work alone. If he recruited talents in this world and trained them, he might establish a good force. By then, he could cut down anyone who dared to demolish the earth. That was quite cool.
Of course, the premise of all this was that Li Mu was strong.
So far, Hua Xiangrong and the little attendant were the two people that Li Mu trusted the most.
Therefore, the simplified version of the Xiantian Skill could be used to test the waters.
Compared with Hua Xiangrong, the little attendant had some understanding of the martial arts theory, so he understood it faster. He was gifted and smart, so it was easier for him to learn than Hua Xiangrong. But his body was not as good as Hua Xiangrong's Natural Taoist Figure, so Li Mu could not see the final effect of the practice.
After teaching the little attendant, Li Mu let him practice alone in the training room, and went to the county government alone.
He wanted to rearrange the Earth Evil Polaris Formation and strengthen it.
Compared with more than ten days ago, Li Mu's strength had greatly improved, especially his spiritual force, and he had opened the Third Eye. So, he was more skillful in arranging tactical deployments, and his understanding of Taoist magic arts of tactical deployments had also improved, so he could make up for the defects and omissions in the previous deployment.
It took Li Mu two whole hours to complete all the tactical deployments.
After the modification, the Earth Evil Polaris Formation could be said to be reborn, and it had a certain growth property. By constantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, the power of the tactical deployment would soar. It was roughly estimated that one month later, even the experts in the Natural Realm would not be able to break into the county government.
And the density of the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth would also be higher and higher.
The Earth Evil Polaris Formation still contained many mysteries, but it required someone to control the formation to activate it from within the formation.
With Li Mu's current cultivation, even if an expert at the same level came to attack him, he was confident that he could trap him in the formation and defeat him.
That was the mystery of tactical deployments.
After doing all that, Li Mu summoned Feng Yuanxing and the others and gave them some instructions. Then, he directly ordered people to move the administrative office out of the county government and to find a new place outside the county government, in case too many people came in and out, which would make it difficult to manage and prevent the secret of the tactical deployment from leaking or inadvertently destroying some parts of the tactical deployment.
"A fortress is always easy to be broken from the inside."
That was what a great man once said.
Li Mu had to take precautions.
From now on, the former county government basically became Li Mu's private residence.
No one would have an opinion on such a thing, because it was completely within his power.
When he returned to the training room, he found that little attendant Qing Feng's cultivation was good, and his spiritual force had improved. Of course, compared with Hua Xiangrong, he was still far behind. That was a problem of personal aptitude, which could not be changed, so Qing Feng's cultivation needed to be more arduous.
Li Mu solemnly taught little attendant Qing Feng some ways to control the tactical deployment. Qing Feng's spiritual force was certainly not enough to control the tactical deployment, but with the control jade plate Li Mu gave him, he could already realize some functions of the Earth Evil Polaris Formation.
At that time, it was already afternoon.
After some arrangements, Li Mu set out on the road back to Chang 'an.
Zheng Cunjian also went back with him.
But the unlucky Young Master Li Bing was still locked in the county jail.
It was not until the evening that Zhao Ling, the female pharmacist, received the news that Li Mu had returned to Chang 'an.
Upon hearing the news, the female pharmacist was quite disappointed.
"I will definitely figure out your secrets."
She had a feeling that Li Mu was hiding too many secrets.
She was very curious.
And that curiosity made her feel like there was a kitten scratching her heart with its chubby little paws, which made her feel uncomfortable.
…
…
The next morning, Li Mu had already returned to Chang 'an.
The reason why he was so fast was that he rode the chrysanthemum leopard, so he didn't have to take care of the carriage of his mother and others. He almost galloped through the night and crossed hundreds of miles. When the sun just rose, he returned to the Holy House of the Musical House on Liufang Street.
"Ah, Young Master, you're back?"
Hua Xiangrong, who had just finished her morning practice, was overjoyed to see Li Mu.
Li Mu had only left Chang 'an for more than two days, but for Hua Xiangrong, a day felt like a year.
The girl, who had just experienced her first awakening of love, finally fully experienced the feeling of having someone in her heart. That kind of bone-piercing longing. Although she knew that her sweetheart would return soon, she couldn't help thinking about it. If it weren't for the Goddess Xiantian Skill that could make time pass quickly, the past two days were too long for Hua Xiangrong.
Li Mu raised his hand and naturally rubbed Hua Xiangrong's hair, saying, "I said I would come back in two days. Of course I will."
Hua Xiangrong blushed again.
Only two days had passed, but Hua Xiangrong's cultivation progress surprised Li Mu.
He could clearly feel that Hua Xiangrong's vitality and qi were more than ten times more vigorous than two days ago, and her body was full of power. If Hua Xiangrong was just a delicate ordinary girl two days ago, then the current Hua Xiangrong in front of him already had the physique of the peak of the Joint-force Level.
What was more, her spiritual force was enhanced.
"I'm afraid her spiritual force is already comparable to that of a two-star warlock … It's … too fast."
Li Mu was shocked again and again by the cultivation speed of the Natural Taoist Figure.
