In order to completely eliminate the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions, the F Lu School had sent the heads of the fifth and seventh branches, two of Dongxuan's strongest cultivators.
Hyun Jinko was the head of the fifth branch, while Yu Quan Zi, the head of the seventh branch, had gone to chase after the Flying Stiff a few days ago.
The beautiful middle-aged woman beside the head of the fifth branch, Hyun Jinko, was also a cultivator of Dongxuan.
According to Uncle Ma, if the heads of the other branches hadn't been out traveling and couldn't make it back in time, there would have been more people involved in this attack on The Heretical Cultivation.
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't believe that three Dongxuan experts couldn't eliminate a Dongxuan Heretical Cultivation cultivator of the same realm …
In the Yangqiu County Government, Hyun Jinko looked at the file compiled by Li Mu and Li Qing and said, "It seems that the Flying Stiff that Elder Ma was chasing after was the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions."
Taoist Priest Dun from the Miao County said, "There's no time to lose. We should meet up with Yu Quan Zi as soon as possible. Once the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions completely recovers, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with him alone."
Hyun Jinko nodded and thought of something. He looked at the Zhang County Magistrates and asked, "Who is the person with the Pure Yang Body involved in this case?"
The Zhang County Magistrates looked at Li Mu. Li Mu stepped forward and said, "It's me."
Hyun Jinko looked at Li Mu and his eyes suddenly turned golden.
Li Mu was shocked, but his eyes quickly returned to normal.
Hyun Jinko had a strange expression and said, "To be able to escape from the hands of the Venerable Master Thousand Illusions, you are very lucky. Are you interested in joining the F Lu School?"
Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes flashed with a strange light, while Han Zhe's face flashed with a trace of nervousness.
At this moment, Taoist Priest Dun of the Miao School smiled and said, "If you don't like Fu-lu School, you can also join Xuanzong. Xuanzong has thousands of Taoist techniques for you to choose from …"
Hyun Jinko said helplessly, "Daoist Miao Dun, how can you snatch people like this?"
Daoist Priest Miao Dun said, "I'm just speaking the truth. There are many Daoist techniques in Xuanzong that are suitable for his physique. They are more suitable than your Fu-lu School."
Hyun Jinko just shook his head and smiled, not saying anything more.
Li Mu was relieved. Just now, Hyun Jinko was obviously checking to see if he had been possessed, which made Li Mu worry for a moment. Now it seemed that even the cultivators of Dongxuan could not see through his soul.
In response to the two's invitation, he just smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to join a sect for the time being."
In terms of cultivation, Li Mu had the Daoist book that Su He gave him, which was enough for him to cultivate to the Transcendent Realm. As for himself, he did not lack Transcendent Dao techniques. It was just that his spiritual power was too low and he could not use them.
Although the Fu-lu School and Xuanzong could provide him with more cultivation resources, there must be masters of the Upper Realm in their mountain schools. If someone could see through his soul, it would be too late for regrets.
In response to Li Mu's rejection, the two did not say anything. Although the Pure Yang Body was rare, he had already missed the best age to start cultivating. There was not much value in nurturing him. As the masters of Dongxuan, a Pure Yang Body would not attract much attention.
Han Zhe let out a long sigh of relief. In Li Qing's eyes, something bright dimmed again.
The two masters of Dongxuan turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. Xuandu looked at Li Mu and smiled. "Benefactor Li, let's go."
The abbot of Jinshan Temple had his foundation injured by Venerable Qian Huan. Even if the Heart Sutra had miraculous healing effects, it was not something that could be healed in a day or two. Li Mu would have to come at least five more times.
After arriving at Jinshan Temple, Li Mu went into the Buddhist hall to pray.
He did not know if there were real gods in this world. If there were, he hoped that the masters of the Fu-lu School could completely eliminate the Dongxuan Heretical Cultivation and eliminate Li Mu's worries so that he could be at ease as a constable.
Xuandu sent Li Mu back to the yamen and suddenly said, "Little Benefactor Li, you can consider joining the Heart Sect. When the time comes, I can recommend you to enter the ancestral court of the Heart Sect. Even if Venerable Qian Huan still covets your soul, he would not dare to look for you."
Li Mu felt helpless. This monk had indeed not given up on persuading him to become a monk.
However, he still smiled and declined politely. "With the three masters of Dongxuan, The Heretical Cultivation will not be able to escape death. Master Xuandu's worries are unnecessary …"
After bidding farewell to Xuandu, Li Mu returned to the duty room. Zhang Shan and Li Si did not know what had happened. They were playing a guessing game with Old Wang with dice in the corner.
Looking at them playing happily, Li Mu sighed.
Sometimes, ignorance was bliss.
Because they did not know anything, they did not have to face this fear.
Li Qing sat on a chair and looked up at him. She asked casually, "Why are you not willing to join the sect? It will be very beneficial for your future cultivation."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I think the way I am now is pretty good."
Li Mu was not a person who liked change. He had just accepted this world and adapted to the life of a constable.
Every day, he read books and patrolled. He had two or three friends at the yamen and a silly girl at home. If he had not been targeted by the Heretical Cultivation, such a life would have been very comfortable.
On the contrary, in the sect, it was not uncommon to see people scheming against each other for resources. If he was not careful, he would be plotted against. Whether it was Senior Brother Qin or the Dongxuan Heretical Cultivation, the psychological trauma that Li Mu had caused had not dissipated until now.
Old Wang was right. In the world of cultivation, the big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimps. It was too cruel. Li Mu preferred to stay in the secular world.
Occasionally, he would tell stories, watch plays, and cook at home. After dinner, Wanwan would massage his back and shoulders while listening to Liu Hanyan play the zither and sing. It was much more interesting than hiding in the mountains to cultivate.
Li Qing did not speak anymore. When she lowered her head, a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
The three Dongxuan powerhouses were chasing after The Heretical Cultivation. Li Mu could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. He left the duty room and went to Old Wang's place. He randomly found a book to read.
A moment later, Old Wang came in and asked, "Have you refined the fourth soul?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I've refined it."
Old Wang sat on a chair and said, "It is not easy to refine the last three souls. I will teach you a good method that will allow you to refine the last three souls quickly. Do you want to learn?"
Li Mu quickly asked, "What good idea?"
Old Wang smiled wretchedly and said, "The seven souls are born from the seven emotions: happiness, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and lust. The last three souls are born from love, evil, and lust. You can disperse the last three souls and find some women to cheat their feelings and bodies. In this way, they will love you first and then hate you. There will be lust in the middle, and you can directly condense the three souls and avoid the refining step."
Li Mu thought he had some good idea. He shook his head and said, "Do you think I am Li Si?"
Old Wang shook his head and said, "It is because you are not Li Si that you can do it. The women who have slept with Li Si never hate him. He can't absorb their evil feelings."
Li Mu flatly rejected Lao Wang's suggestion. "I won't do such a heartless thing that will cause me to be struck by lightning. It's better for me to slowly refine it myself."
How would Liu Hanyan, Wanwan, and Li Qing look at him if he cheated the feelings and bodies of so many women?
Instead of this, Li Mu would rather earn money and marry a few more wives. It was reasonable and legal anyway.
"You can use your brain, but you have to use brute force." Old Wang shook his head and said regretfully, "This is not against the law. It is a waste of your face …"
Deceiving women's feelings and bodies was not against the law, but in terms of morality, it was undoubtedly at the bottom. Perhaps even Li Si would look down on him.
Li Mu did not intend to take shortcuts. Wouldn't it be better to earn money and marry a wife? If he was lucky, he could marry a woman with a higher cultivation than him, such as Li Qing. One would be enough.
Compared to Soul Condensation Cultivation, Li Mu was more concerned about The Heretical Cultivation.
He did not know if three Dongxuan Cultivators would be able to kill him completely if they joined forces …
Yuntai County.
A middle-aged man was walking in the air above a dense mountain forest.
After stepping into the forest, his footsteps paused for a moment. The next moment, his expression changed greatly. His body turned into a stream of light and quickly fled into the distance.
At this moment, from the forest below, a dozen pillars of light suddenly rose into the sky.
One could vaguely see Fu-lu's shadows in the pillars of light.
The pillars of light were extremely thick. In the blink of an eye, they joined together to form a huge light shield that enveloped him.
At the same time, three powerful auras appeared outside the light shield.
Three figures, two men and one woman, floated in the air. The beautiful woman held a horsetail whisk, the middle-aged man carried a huge sword on his back, and the last old man had an Eight Trigrams Mirror floating in front of him.
After the three of them appeared, they continuously poured their spiritual power into the light shield, causing the light shield to become even more dazzling.
Inside the light shield, the middle-aged man let out an angry roar. A thick corpse aura erupted from his body and instantly filled the light shield, faintly contending with the golden light.
Hyun Jinko smiled and looked at the beautiful woman in Taoist robes. He said, "Miao Dun's divination technique has reached perfection. To be able to calculate the path he must take, Xuanzong's Dao is indeed marvelous …"
The beautiful middle-aged woman chuckled and said, "Your sect's Fu-lu Dao has opened my eyes. To be able to use a talisman as a formation to trap this corpse. Otherwise, if he wanted to escape, we wouldn't have been able to stop him. This talisman formation is not inferior to the top formations of the Spirit Array Sect …"
The last old man controlled the bronze mirror in front of him and poured his spiritual power into the pillar of light. He said, "Junior Brother Xuan Zhen, Fellow Miao Dun, control the formation well. His injuries haven't completely healed yet. Take this opportunity to completely refine him. Even if a wisp of his soul escapes, it will lead to another catastrophe!"
Above the formation, powerful spiritual power fluctuations continued to spread.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, whether it was uncivilized beasts or monsters that had awakened their consciousness, they all lay on the ground, trembling.
Even monsters that had taken human form couldn't calm the fear in their hearts.
Those that had already stepped into the middle realm and formed their monster cores were doing their best to leave this area. They could feel that there was an aura here that they couldn't afford to provoke.
In Yuntai County, countless cultivators also felt the spiritual power fluctuations.
However, the Yuntai County Governor had already told them not to get close to that area. The area within a radius of 50 miles was designated as a forbidden area for cultivators.
The spiritual power fluctuations in the forbidden area lasted for three whole days.
After three days, everything suddenly calmed down.
After a few more hours, some daring cultivators carefully flew over.
When they arrived at the edge of the forbidden area, they were shocked to find that within a radius of a few miles in the center of the forbidden area, the trees were withered and the rocks were shattered. There was no sign of life, nor was there any spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It was like a land of death …
Yangqiu County Government.
Li Mu had been anxious for three days before he finally heard a piece of news from Zhang County Magistrates that made him ecstatic.
Three days ago, three Dongxuan powerhouses from Fu-lu School and Xuanzong had tracked down Master Qianhuan, who had escaped to Yuntai County. In order to prevent him from escaping again, the three of them joined forces and trapped him with a formation. After three days, they refined Master Qianhuan alive.
This time, the evil cultivator who had committed all kinds of evil deeds was finally gone for good.
Li Mu let out a long sigh of relief. The stone that had been pressing down on his heart all this time was finally lifted.
