Amidst the clicking sounds, some of the bronze stains on the surface of the gold-and-silver mirror, some of the mottled paste that had formed due to the passage of time, as well as the gold-and-silver threads on the surface of the mirror, all fell off and rustled as they fell to the ground.
Layers of Taoist patterns flickered and began to circulate.
The shape of the mirror began to change.
In the end, wrapped by the Taoist patterns, the mirror became a pentagonal square seal. The pentagonal seal was colorless, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth were colorless in silver, cyan, blue, red, and yellow. It was about the size of an adult's palm and flashed with five-colored divine light. Five obscure and powerful waves of power fluctuated endlessly, reinforcing and restraining each other. In the pentagonal square seal, the power was vaguely shrinking and surging.
Li Mu's face lit up with joy.
"Haha, I misjudged it before. This is not a low-grade Taoist instrument. It is at least a high-quality medium-grade Taoist instrument." He couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart became more and more incredulous. In this world, there was a medium-grade Taoist instrument. Could it be that there was a Taoist magic art inheritance of the immortals in the dark?
Li Mu's spiritual force slowly merged with the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal.
The power of a medium-grade Taoist instrument was unparalleled. The Taoist patterns engraved on it were also profound and numerous. There were at least tens of thousands of Taoist patterns. Moreover, the Taoist patterns of the five elements were engraved in the same seal so that they would not repel each other and could work well …
"Damn it, did I make a mistake? Is this thing a high-grade Taoist instrument?"
Li Mu was a little suspicious.
Moreover, the progress of merging and refining the seal was much slower than he expected.
"It seems that I have to spend some time."
Back in Room No. 18, Li Mu directly ran the Xiantian Skill and began to concentrate on refining this square seal.
Shangguan Yuting was guarding him.
As a practitioner of the Xiantian Skill as well, her spiritual force had been greatly boosted. So, she naturally sensed that when Li Mu went all out, the intensity of his spiritual force was as vast as the ocean, which was much more powerful than her current cultivation. But in Shangguan Yuting's eyes, that was normal, because her Brother Mu was invincible.
Maid Xin 'er watched from the side, not really understanding.
In her eyes, she could only see that the air around Li Mu's body seemed to have become sticky, like a transparent air swamp, and that quaint square seal shining with five-colored light was floating above Li Mu's head. Wisps of white mist flowed out from Li Mu's mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and other facial features, entangled the quaint square seal, and slowly seeped into it.
This was the level at which spiritual power was close to materializing.
Time ticked by.
Now that Shangguan Yuting's five senses and six senses were extremely sharp, she could clearly hear a series of orderly footsteps coming from outside Room No. 18. That was the sound of an army encircling the place. There were probably thousands of people. Through her spiritual force perception, she learned that except for Room No. 18, all the other temporary top-notch VIP pavilions had been demolished and moved away. At this time, Room No. 18 was like an isolated island surrounded by a frenzy of black-armored soldiers.
However, it seemed that these troops only wanted to surround them and had no intention of attacking.
Shangguan Yuting was not affected at all.
As long as Li Mu was there, she would not have any worries.
Time flew by.
After a full two hours.
The spiritual swamp around Li Mu's body gradually dissipated.
Wisps of spiritual force that were close to materialization also retreated to Li Mu's facial features.
He slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand. At this moment, the square seal, which was shining with five-colored light, became more and more simple. Its surface was covered with coarse metallic particles, which looked ordinary. When it fell into Li Mu's hand, it spun like a little elf attached to Li Mu.
"It's really a good treasure."
After finally refining it successfully, Li Mu could clearly feel that the pentagonal square seal that had become more and more simple and unremarkable contained terrifying Dao power. It was as vast as the sea of stars, and it seemed to contain a universe, vast and boundless.
"With such a treasure in hand, I can go anywhere in the world."
Sensing the power of the Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal, Li Mu couldn't wait to try its power. But considering that he was in Chang 'an and it was not convenient to make too much noise, he gave up the idea.
"I don't know where that Flame Elder got that square seal. It's definitely not a Taoist instrument that belongs to this world. I'm afraid it came from outer space. I'll have to find some time to ask him. Maybe I'll find something else."
Li Mu pondered.
He himself was a visitor from outer space.
Since the old faker could send him to that planet, it was not entirely impossible for those mighty figures in the universe to send some of their descendants to that planet. Or, it was also possible that some mighty figures in the universe had met with misfortune and ended up on that planet … Li Mu believed that his arrival should not be an exception.
That was interesting.
Anyway, with such a treasure in hand, Li Mu's confidence was greatly boosted. Now, he could even fight against those in the Celestial Being Realm.
According to the old faker's description, the successors of the immortal sects in the universe could challenge those in higher levels with the help of the treasures granted by the sect. For immortals, Taoist instruments and fairy instruments were also part of their combat power. Sometimes, even a small sect could stand tall in the universe with a peerless treasure.
Of course, it was also possible that an innocent man would get into trouble because of his wealth.
Li Mu once thought about refining Taoist instruments by himself. But the knowledge of refining instruments he learned from the old faker was neither systematic nor complete. He could barely refine defective products such as space containers and consumable grenades. But it would be hard for him to refine a finished Taoist instrument, even if it was a low-grade one, given his current level.
Never did he expect that the first Taoist instrument in his life was obtained by such a coincidence.
"Let's get out of here first."
Li Mu stood up and opened his mouth. The Five Elements Sky-flipping Seal turned into a wisp of divine light and disappeared into his mouth.
Xin 'er, the maid, was startled. "Young Master … Did you eat it?"
Li Mu burst into laughter and said, "Yes, it's crispy and tastes like chicken. Do you want to try it?"
Xin 'er pulled a long face and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid I'll have diarrhea."
Li Mu added, "By the way, Ting 'er, teach Xin' er the mental cultivation method you practice bit by bit. In the future, Xin 'er will follow you around. Otherwise, when you achieve great martial arts and have a lifespan of thousands of years, Xin' er will become an old woman."
"Ah? Is that okay? "Shangguan Yuting was overjoyed.
In fact, she also wanted to teach Xin 'er the Cultivation Method, but it was not appropriate for her to ask Li Mu. After all, she could see that the Cultivation Method Li Mu taught her was extremely magical and powerful. It was probably the top Cultivation Method. It was already a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to practice it. Would it be too greedy to ask for it for Xin' er?
Li Mu smiled gently, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said, "You are good at everything, but you are too polite."
Xin 'er was also overjoyed. She said, "Thank you, Young Master. When I master the Cultivation Method, I will definitely protect my Miss."
As they spoke, the three of them walked out of the pavilion.
As expected, the outside was densely surrounded by black-armored soldiers. Their swords and spears were as numerous as a forest, and their arrows were loaded.
Li Mu did not want to talk nonsense. He directly took Shangguan Yuting's hand with one hand and grabbed Xin 'er's collar with the other. Then, he flashed and turned into a stream of light in the night sky, disappearing on the spot.
"This …" The garrison general in the western district looked at the night sky and opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not give the order to shoot arrows.
It was useless to shoot arrows, because it could not stop the invincible masters in the Natural Realm.
If they angered Li Mu, the unscrupulous devil, the thousand soldiers present were not enough for Li Mu to kill, were they? After all, compared with the field army stationed outside the city, the battle force of the prefectural guards was too far behind. To deal with masters, only the real main force could deal with them.
They were just ordered to besiege, so they did not have to risk their lives.
…
After returning to the Holy House and packing up some of Shangguan Yuting's personal belongings and savings, Li Mu directly left the Holy House with the two girls.
This time, Shangguan Yuting completely said goodbye to the Holy House.
It was also a complete farewell to the past life.
This departure was a long journey, and life was unpredictable.
Although she felt lucky to get out of the sea of bitterness, Shangguan Yuting still could not help crying when she reluctantly said goodbye to Mama Bai and her sisters.
Over the years, she could live in this brothel without falling into depravity, thanks to the protection of Mama Bai and the help of her sisters. The atmosphere in the Holy House was far more relaxed and harmonious than that in the general Musical House and brothels. How could she not feel sad when she left in a hurry?
But she also knew that Li Mu had hurt Liu Chenglong, the manager of the Musical House, and the rumored second prince also coveted her beauty. If the three of them continued to stay in the Holy House, it would bring disaster to them. So, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Watching Hua Xiangrong leave with Li Mu, the people in the Holy House also sighed with emotion.
From now on, Hua Xiangrong's fate would be completely different from theirs.
There were not many lucky people in the world, but Hua Xiangrong was definitely the luckiest one.
…
At last, the three of them came to the yard of the Shack in the Pig-Herding Alley.
The seventeen beautiful girls who had been auctioned off at the auction had all been sent here in advance.
Seeing Li Mu, the girls surrounded him and greeted him one after another.
It seemed that after a few hours of contact, they had all become familiar with each other, and their mental state was much better than when they were auctioned. After all, after knowing that the person who bought them was Li Mu, their fate seemed to suddenly see a ray of light when it was the most desperate.
Li Mu, the poetry and martial arts genius, a great talent, had a very good reputation.
Now that they met such a master, they would not be abused, would they?
Li Mu asked Shangguan Yuting to settle down those beautiful girls.
Fortunately, after the previous expansion, there were a lot of rooms in the courtyard of the Shack, which could barely accommodate those girls. After a few days, when things in Chang 'an were settled, it would be much more convenient to send them back to Taibai County.
In the study, Li Mu summoned Zheng Cunjian.
"The four gates of Chang 'an are closed. The main army outside the city has surrounded the city. It is said that the second prince has given the order to capture the remaining members of the Tang family. The search in the city has also begun. According to the information I got, Mrs. Tang, her two daughters, and the man who rescued them have tried to break the city gate several times but failed. It seems that they have suffered heavy losses and are now hiding in the city."
Zheng Cunjian said.
"They didn't run out?"
Li Mu was stunned.
"Doesn't the prince behind Wang Chen have any power?"
