On the main peak of Mount Baiyun, the Dao Bell trembled and flew straight into the depths of the clouds. Li Mu was dumbfounded.
The Fu-lu School disciples in front of the square were also dumbfounded.
They had been in the sect for several years. They had not seen this scene for decades, but in the past half a year, they had seen it all.
The moment the Dao Bell escaped, streams of light shot into the sky from the peaks of the Fu-lu School and disappeared into the clouds. Li Mu hurriedly walked to Liu Hanyan and the old woman and asked in "shock", "What happened? Why did the bell run away?"
The old woman's expression was solemn as she said, "The Dao Bell has a spirit. It can't have produced such a phenomenon for no reason. It must have encountered something that scared it. What kind of demon is so bold as to break into Mount Baiyun …"
As soon as she finished speaking, the clouds rolled and the Dao Bell appeared again.
A few figures were protecting it. Among them was Hyun Jinko, whom Li Mu had seen once, and Yuzhen Zi. The other people had obscure auras. They were obviously the strongest of the Ancestral Court.
An old man with an immortal aura flew out from the Dao Palace on the main peak. He flew to the side of the Dao Bell and gently stroked it as if he was whispering something.
It felt like a junior who had been bullied and had found his elders to back him up.
A bad feeling arose in Li Mu's heart, and he quietly hid behind the old woman.
The sage-like old man said a few words to the Dao Bell before he suddenly looked down.
At the end of his line of sight was Li Mu.
The few Dongxuan experts also focused their gazes on Li Mu.
Yuzhen Zi looked at Li Mu and then at the Dao Bell. He seemed to have realized something and transmitted a few words to the old man. The old man nodded and said, "The Dao Bell cracked because of him. The Dao Bell must have sensed his aura and felt fear …"
Li Mu felt goosebumps all over his body as he was stared at by these people. He was secretly worried that they would force him to pay for the clock once they were in the Fu-lu School's territory. This was not the county yamen, and there was no one behind him to back him up.
Everyone descended from the sky. The old woman immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Martial Uncle Sect Leader. Greetings, Martial Uncles."
Yuzhen Zi looked at Liu Hanyan and introduced her to everyone. "This is the new disciple that I took in when I went down the mountain."
Liu Hanyan hurriedly saluted. "Liu Hanyan greets Martial Uncle Sect Leader and Martial Uncles."
The sage-like elder looked at Yuzhen Zi and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Junior Sister. You've finally fulfilled your wish and found a successor."
The others also congratulated her, "Congratulations, Senior Sister."
Yuzhen Zi glanced at them and asked, "Are you just congratulating me?"
A middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he realized something. He flipped his right hand and a Fu-lu appeared in his palm. He smiled and handed the Fu-lu to Liu Hanyan, saying, "This is the first time we've met. This is Martial Uncle's gift. Martial Niece Liu, please accept it."
The spiritual power circulating on this Fu-lu was probably of a higher level than the Fu-lu that Wu Bo had used before.
Liu Hanyan looked at Yuzhen Zi. Yuzhen Zi nodded and said, "This is the Golden Armor Talisman. It can summon a Sixth Realm Divine Weapon. Although it's only a consumable item, it's also Martial Uncle Zhengyang Zi's kind intentions. Please accept it."
Liu Hanyan accepted the Fu-lu and said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle Zhengyang Zi."
Yuzhen Zi looked at another young woman and said, "This is Martial Uncle Dan Yangzi of Danxia Peak. Martial Uncle Dan Yangzi's alchemy skills are at the peak of perfection. She's not inferior to the Danding Sect."
The young woman stretched out her hand and a jade box appeared in her palm. The jade box was crystal clear and one could vaguely see a pill lying inside.
She smiled and said, "I've refined this pill recently. After taking it, it can make one's appearance forever and not age. It also has the effect of tempering the body and can expel the acquired impurities in the body. From then on, you'll be immune to all poisons and evils …"
Yuzhen Zi took the jade box and placed it in Liu Hanyan's hand, saying, "Martial Uncle Dan Yangzi can only refine a few heaven-grade pills in a year. Hurry up and thank her …"
Liu Hanyan accepted the jade box and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Martial Uncle Dan Yangzi."
Yuzhen Zi looked at the other old man and said, "This is Martial Uncle Yu Quanzi of Purple Cloud Peak. I heard that he obtained a heaven-grade armor a few days ago …"
Yu Quanzi laughed bitterly. A white light flashed in his hand and a silver-threaded soft armor appeared in his palm. He said, "This armor was obtained from a thousand-year-old silkworm demon in the bitter cold of the Myriad Demons Country. It can withstand a full-force attack from a Sixth Realm cultivator. I'll give it to Martial Niece Liu for self-protection …"
Although it pained him to give away the armor, his Senior Sister had already asked for it. He had to give it to her.
If he angered her, she would call him out for no reason and check his cultivation progress. If she beat him up from time to time in front of all the disciples, would he still want his old face?
Senior Sister Yuzhen Zi had spent a lot of effort to find a successor. Over the years, she had found many people with a pure Yin body. It was either their gender did not match or they were too old. Most of them were abandoned by their parents or drowned. It was not easy to find one. Today, she had to give it to her.
Liu Hanyan accepted the soft armor and said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle Yu Quanzi."
Yuzhen Zi then looked at Hyun Jinko and said, "This is Martial Uncle Hyun Jinko of Qing Xuan Peak. Martial Uncle Hyun Jinko is my direct Junior Martial Brother. I watched him grow up and I was also the one who guided him into the path of cultivation …"
Hyun Jinko had already taken out a Fu-lu card. When he heard Yuzhen Zi's words, he silently kept it. A white light flashed and a long sword appeared in his hand.
Yuzhen Zi was shocked. "You plan to give away the Qing Xuan sword!"
Hyun Jinko looked at the Qing Xuan sword longingly and said, "Senior Sister has found a good disciple. Junior Martial Brother is happy for her. A sword is nothing …"
Yuzhen Zi took the Qing Xuan sword from his hand and said, "At least you still have some conscience. Hanyan, why aren't you thanking Martial Uncle Hyun Jinko?"
Liu Hanyan took the sword and said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle Hyun Jinko …"
Li Mu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. None of the things that these people gave were lower than the Heaven Rank. All of the things that Li Mu took from the county office's Earth Character Pavilion could not compare to one of these.
This trip to Mount Baiyun was indeed not in vain.
At the same time, his heart was somewhat sour.
Fu-lu School favored girls over boys. It was too obvious. When Hyun Jinko invited him, he was only casually asking. After being rejected by Li Mu, he did not follow up.
If Li Mu had Liu Hanyan's treatment back then, perhaps he would have already become a disciple of Fu-lu School.
Unfortunately, Fu-lu School did not have a Pure Yang Body first seat and needed him to inherit the mantle. Although the probability of a Pure Yang Body and a Pure Yin Body were about the same, due to the common people's preference for boys and the ignorant concept that a Pure Yin Eight Character was a Heavenly Calamity Star that would jinx their parents and relatives, very few girls with a Pure Yin Body could survive.
Yuzhen Zi finally looked at the old man with the demeanor of an immortal and said, "This is the Head Martial Uncle. He is the head of a sect, so he will definitely be more generous than the Martial Uncles of the Head Martial Uncle …"
The old man shook his head and took out a jade stone. He said, "There is a Dao page in here. After reading it once, it will disappear. Whether or not she can comprehend a Dao technique will depend on her luck …"
Dao page … Li Mu was secretly shocked. Today's Six Sects of Daoism all came from the Dao Scripture. The Dao page was a page of the Dao Scripture.
Fu-lu School's Head Martial Uncle said that this Dao page could allow one to comprehend a Dao technique. It must be a page of the Dao Scripture.
Although Dao techniques and abhijna were both spells, there was a fundamental difference. Abhijna needed to be cultivated and comprehended. It was based on one's own mana. If one's aptitude was poor, even if they were given the method of cultivating abhijna, they would not be able to learn it.
Dao techniques were the operation of the power of Heaven and Earth. There was no need to cultivate. As long as one grasped the Mantra Mudra, they would have the key to opening the door to Heaven and Earth.
To be able to let Liu Hanyan comprehend a Dao page meant that he truly treated her as an inner disciple of Fu-lu School.
Yuzhenzi took the jade stone and said to Liu Hanyan, "There are still a few Uncle-Masters who are wandering outside. When they return, I will bring you to meet them one by one."
After Liu Hanyan and the few First Seats got to know each other, everyone looked up at the Dao Bell. The bell was still hanging in the sky. When it felt Li Mu's gaze, it retreated.
Li Mu stretched out his hands and said, "I didn't do anything …"
The old man smiled helplessly and said, "The Dao Bell has been here for almost a thousand years. It has already developed intelligence. It was hurt by you, so it will naturally be afraid of you. If you treat it kindly, it will not be afraid anymore …"
"I'll give it a try …" Li Mu nodded and looked at the bell with a kind smile on his face.
Buzz!
The Dao Bell trembled a few times and flew up again, disappearing into the clouds.
The smile on Li Mu's face froze. The old man shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let it be."
They no longer paid attention to the Dao Bell. Instead, they looked at Li Mu. Their gazes contained a strange power. This made Li Mu feel as if he had been stripped naked and was standing in front of everyone.
"How can there be such a Heavenly Retribution Physique? This is simply unheard of."
"He also has a Pure Yang Physique. Could it be that a Pure Yang Physique will be punished by the Heavens when cursing the Heavens?"
"If it is the Heavens' Retribution, why would it cause the Dao Bell to ring and even cause it to crack …"
"Didn't the Head Teacher say that the Dao Bell had indeed sensed a new Dao technique? It could not withstand the power of the Heavens and Earth that was triggered by the Dao technique, so it cracked …"
…
Everyone looked at Li Mu and discussed endlessly. In the end, the Fu-lu School's Head Teacher waved his hand and said, "Enough. The matters of the Heavens and Earth are mysterious and difficult to understand. Even we can only see a sliver of it. The crack on the Dao Bell will repair itself. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore."
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.
The might of the Heavens was unpredictable. Cultivators understood the Heavenly Dao and followed the Heavenly Dao. This was also the reason why the Fu-lu School was unwilling to make a move after the evil spirit in the North County was born.
There was naturally a reason for the crack on the Dao Bell. Perhaps there was some kind of Heavenly Dao law behind it. It was not to be recklessly discussed.
The few Grotto Profound experts looked at Li Mu with astonishment in their eyes.
Even though they had cultivated for decades and had profound cultivation, this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
Although he would be punished every time he cursed the Heavens, this was also a response from the Heavens and Earth.
And this was what these Dongxuan cultivators yearned for even in their dreams.
When they could casually create Dao techniques like him and receive a response from the Heavens and Earth, it would be the time for them to advance and transcend.
They also wanted the Heavens' Retribution …
