If he disappeared for three days for no reason and missed more than a hundred calls from his boss, the consequences would be very serious.
Unless he was not doing it for personal reasons but to get investments for his company.
If he could tie F Lu School to his and the Empress's war chariot, then even if the old and new parties joined forces, they could only be evenly matched with her.
After chatting with the Empress for a while and coaxing her, Li Mu put away the conch.
His body was still a little weak, and he did not know how long it would take for him to fully recover.
Sitting on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that F Lu School was inhumane. The Saint-level Fu-lu consumed a lot of mental energy. Even the F Lu School's headmaster would not be able to draw it. A few Sixth and Seventh Realms actually tricked a Fourth Realm rookie like him into wasting his mental energy to work for them. Was this something a human would do?
Li Mu could not take this lying down no matter what.
Soon, Xiao Bai finished cooking the porridge and made a few side dishes with Wanwan. She brought them to the bedside and fed Li Mu spoonful by spoonful.
At the same time, in the Daoist Palace on the main peak.
The F Lu School's headmaster and several heads of the sect stared unblinkingly at a Fu-lu floating in the air.
Spiritual power flowed in this Fu-lu, and it seemed to have a strange power. Even the surrounding heaven and earth became illusory.
"This aura, it really is Saint-level..."
"How many years has it been since a Saint-level Fu-lu appeared in the ancestral court?"
"Unbelievable, this is unbelievable. He's only at the Fourth Realm!"
"If he's already like this at the Fourth Realm, when he grows up in the future, as long as he has enough materials, won't he be able to mass-produce Saint-level or even God-level cultivators?"
"We must keep him in F Lu School. He is the hope of our sect's prosperity!"
...
The few of them looked at the saint rank talisman amulet with burning gazes. The significance of a saint rank talisman amulet to the Talisman Amulet Sect was too great.
If the Saint-level Fu-lu could be mass-produced, the structure of the Six Daoist Sects might be completely changed.
Master Ashen Pine revealed a pondering expression and said, "I still can't figure out how he could draw a Fu-lu. Could it be that he was once a powerhouse in the Upper Realm and his current body was just a body he possessed?"
Hyun Jinko shook his head and said, "If it was a body possession, how could it hide from the Supreme Leader and the Empress of the Great Zhou?"
Master Ashen Pine said, "But this matter is too inconceivable. It's even inexplicable."
Hyun Jinko looked at him and asked, "Junior Brother, do you remember that there is a special constitution in this world?"
Master Ashen Pine thought for a moment and said in surprise, "Senior Brother, you mean that he possesses the rare Heart of Seven Orifices?"
In this world, most people were ordinary people, but there was no lack of talented people.
For example, Pure Yin, Pure Yang, Five Elements Body, and other special constitutions. If they chose the right cultivation direction, one day of cultivation would be equivalent to several days of cultivation for others.
There were also natural spiritual eyes that could control fire and water. Although their cultivation speed might not be very fast, they were born with magical powers. After stepping into the path of cultivation, their strength would far surpass their peers.
The Heart of Seven Orifices was one of the special constitutions.
This kind of constitution could not increase the speed of cultivation, nor did it have magical powers. However, if they stepped into the path of cultivation, they would have an advantage that no other special constitutions had.
They would not have inner demons.
Not only would they not have inner demons, but any illusion, soul control, or soul searching techniques would be useless against them.
This was because their Heart of Seven Orifices was exquisite. They could maintain their inner calmness at any time and would not be disturbed by external matters.
This was a trait that even Upper Realm cultivators envied.
Cultivating the Dao was easy, but cultivating the heart was difficult. Inner demons did not care about the cultivation level of the cultivator, whether it was Soul Refining or Transcending. Even Transcending cultivators could not completely rid themselves of the inner demons.
For cultivators with profound cultivation, the reason why they failed in writing talismans was not because they could not remember the runes, nor was it because they did not have enough magical power. It was because they could not calm their heart. They could calm their heart for a moment, but writing Heaven Rank or Saint Rank Fu-lu would take too long. It was difficult to maintain a calm heart for a long time.
However, for those with the Heart of Seven Orifices, this worry did not exist.
Others used their mind to control their heart, but he used his heart to control his mind and body.
The Heart of Seven Orifices was the special constitution that all talisman writers desired the most.
It was a pity that the Quarter Hour Physique was too rare. They had only heard of it in rumors.
After thinking about it, they could basically confirm that Li Mu was an extremely rare person who possessed the Heart of Seven Orifices. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he could draw a Saint Rank Fu-lu with only a Fourth Realm cultivation and the help of the Sect Master.
This ability was a gift from the heavens, and it was something that anyone could only be envious of.
"He has the Pure Yang Physique and the Heart of Seven Orifices at the same time. Could he be the Son of Destiny?"
"He is really blessed by the heavens."
"Not only does he have the Pure Yang Physique, but the Heart of Seven Orifices is even rarer …"
…
They sighed. Master Ashen Pine suddenly asked, "Why did Martial Uncle Fu Daozi suddenly return after leaving the sect for 20 years?"
Hyun Jinko shook his head and said, "Martial Uncle passed the position of Sect Master to Senior Brother and not him. Martial Uncle Fu Daozi left the sect in anger. This time, he returned to the sect and used his incarnation to disturb the Talisman Dao Trial. If it was not for Li Mu, this matter would not have ended. I'm afraid he came with ill intentions …"
Master Ashen Pine seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Where is Martial Uncle Fu Daozi?"
They looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "Oh no!"
…
White Cloud Peak, the small residence.
As an injured person, Li Mu was enjoying the feeding service of Xiao Bai and Wanwan when he suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion. When he realized that something was wrong and recited the Heart Calming Technique, Wanwan and Xiao Bai had already collapsed.
At the same time, an old man had appeared in his room.
The old man's hair and beard were completely white while his face was densely covered in wrinkles. He looked extremely aged and seemed as if he would step into the coffin at any moment. When he saw Li Mu was still conscious, the old man revealed a delighted expression and said, "It really is the Heart of Seven Orifices!"
This old man gave Li Mu a very familiar feeling. After checking Xiao Bai and Wanwan and discovering that they were only unconscious, Li Mu asked sternly, "Who are you!"
The old man looked at Li Mu with burning eyes and said, "I am Fu Daozi, the Supreme Elder of Fu-lu School. The current Head of Fu-lu School, Xuan Jizi, has to call me Martial Uncle when you see me. Little fellow, are you willing to take me as your Master?"
Li Mu looked into the old man's eyes and finally knew why he felt this old man was so familiar.
Wasn't he the young man who had almost defeated him in the Talisman Dao Trial?
Li Mu was stunned. He looked at him and asked, "You are the Supreme Elder of Fu-lu School and a Transcendent expert?"
Fu Daozi coughed and said awkwardly, "I … I am Dongxuan, but I am only one step away from Transcendent."
Only one step away from Transcendent. The meaning of this sentence was very subtle.
The Taoist priest that Li Mu knew was also one step away from Transcendent.
Vice Principal Huang of Hundred Rivers Academy was said to have one foot in Transcendent.
But his other foot might not be able to step into Transcendent even if he died.
If he wasn't Transcendent, then he should forget about taking him as his Master.
Li Mu's cultivation was guided by the Empress. Even if he was Transcendent, Li Mu wouldn't agree, let alone if he wasn't Transcendent. He wouldn't even consider it.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
Fu Daozi was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Li Mu asked in return, "What can you teach me?"
Fu Daozi said, "I have traveled for many years and know countless Divine Arts."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Someone taught me Divine Arts and Divine Arts."
Fu Daozi frowned and said, "Who is it? Is he stronger than me, or is he more knowledgeable than me?"
Li Mu said, "The Empress of Great Zhou."
"Ahem, ahem!"
Fu Daozi couldn't catch his breath and coughed a few times. He couldn't compare to the Empress of Great Zhou. She had the Emperor's Qi and her cultivation was Transcendent. She relied on the Great Zhou court. Among the Four Sects and Six Schools, who could be more knowledgeable than the royal family?
Fu Daozi thought for a moment and said, "No one in Fu-lu School can compare to me in Talisman Dao cultivation …"
Li Mu asked, "Can you draw a Saint-level Fu-lu?"
Fu Daozi: "…"
"I can." Li Mu looked at him and continued, "I don't need anyone to teach me the Dao of Fu-lu."
Fu Daozi thought for a moment and suddenly walked forward. He grabbed Li Mu's shoulder and rushed out of the room. He flew out of Baiyun Peak and was about to fly out of the mountain.
At the critical moment, Li Mu whistled. Under the support of his Dharmic powers, the whistle spread far and wide.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the main peak. A golden light flew over and slammed into Fu Daozi.
Fu Daozi's expression changed, and he hurriedly threw Li Mu aside. A golden rune appeared in each of his palms and faced the golden light.
The Dao Bell ignored Fu Daozi and directly enlarged. It changed direction in the air and covered Li Mu.
At the same time, several auras soared into the sky from the main peak. Several figures surrounded Fu Daozi.
Fu Daozi's face was gloomy as he asked, "Xuan Jizi, are you going to go against me again today?"
Xuan Jizi looked at Fu Daozi and shook his head. "His identity is special. I can't let Uncle-Master take him away today."
Fu Daozi said coldly, "What special identity? Didn't all of you take a fancy to his Heart of Seven Orifices and want to keep him in Fu-lu School?"
Xuan Jizi said, "Didn't Uncle-Master take a fancy to that too?"
Fu Daozi didn't say anything. He just looked at Xuan Jizi and the other peak masters with a complicated gaze.
After a while, he looked at everyone and shook his head. "It's been 20 years since we last met. All of you have become sect masters and peak masters …"
He said in a self-deprecating manner, and his body exuded a strong sense of lethargy.
Hyun Jinko and the others had complicated gazes. The senior of the sect that they once respected greatly and was like the sun in the midday sky was now unavoidable.
Fu Daozi looked at Xuan Jizi again and said, "I only have less than half a year left in my lifespan. Let me take this kid away. I can't leave my legacy without a successor."
Xuan Jizi didn't say anything. A Fu-lu floated out of his sleeve and flew towards Fu Daozi.
Looking at the talisman, Li Mu's face revealed a bitter expression. For the sake of this talisman, he had nearly worked himself to death in the past three days …
Fu Daozi looked at the Fu-lu and his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed, "Heavenly Secret Talisman!"
This talisman was called the Heavenly Secret Talisman, and its function was to conceal the secrets of the heavens. This saint-grade Heavenly Secret Talisman could help him conceal the secrets of the heavens. It could at least increase his lifespan by 10 years!
Xuan Jizi looked at Fu Daozi and said with a smile, "This young friend is a subordinate of Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou. If Martial Uncle wants to accept a disciple, you have to ask for his opinion. If he agrees, we won't stop you. If he doesn't agree, Martial Uncle will bring disaster to you by taking him away."
After that, he looked at Li Mu and asked, "Young friend, are you willing to be Martial Uncle Fu Daozi's disciple?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later. First, return the talisman that you owe me."
Xuan Jizi flipped his hand and a jade talisman appeared in his palm. It slowly flew towards Li Mu.
Li Mu took the jade talisman. It was unusually warm in his hand. There was a flowing golden rune in the jade talisman. Although he didn't recognize the Fu-lu School's talisman, he thought that the head of a sect wouldn't lie to him.
After accepting the talisman, Li Mu's face darkened. He said, "I'm afraid your sect has to give me and Her Majesty an explanation for using me, right?"
Li Mu originally wanted that Saint Grade Talisman Amulet, but it was of great use to Talisman Daozi. In any case, Talisman Daozi was still young and had nothing but a long life, so Li Mu took it as pity on the old man. However, Li Mu didn't intend to let Xuan Jizi and the others off so easily.
Xuan Jizi knew what Li Mu was talking about. He asked, "What explanation do you want, Lord Li?"
Since Li Mu called himself "this official," Xuan Jizi called him Lord Li. At this moment, the conversation between the two was between the Fu-lu School and the Great Zhou court.
Li Mu was waiting for him to say this. He said, "Five Saint-level Fu-lu."
Xuan Jizi nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he regretted it. He felt that he had suffered a loss.
He asked for five Saint-level Fu-lu, but Xuan Jizi actually agreed without hesitation. If he had known, he would have asked for ten …
He still hadn't seen the world. His vision was too small …
However, since he had said it, Li Mu couldn't go back on his words.
Otherwise, not only would he lose face, but also the Empress's.
He could be shameless, but the Empress's dignity had to be protected at all times.
Fu Daozi held the Saint-level Fu-lu with a complicated look in his eyes.
Xuan Jizi looked at him and said, "Welcome back, Martial Uncle."
Hyun Jinko and the others also cupped their fists and bowed. They said, "Welcome back, Martial Uncle …"
…
Li Mu didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Fu-lu School. He took the Dao Bell and flew to Baiyun Peak. He saw Wanwan and Xiao Bai looking anxious. Beside them was a figure that Li Mu had missed for a long time.
"Young Master!"
"Benefactor!"
Li Mu flew to the courtyard and patted the heads of the two little girls. He said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Then, he pulled Liu Hanyan into his arms and said, "If you didn't come out of seclusion, I would have to return to the Divine Capital."
Liu Hanyan said with a red face, "I counted the days and thought that you should be here. Master said that I was restless these two days and that seclusion was useless, so he let me out …"
After she said that, she thought of something and held Li Mu's hand. She asked, "I heard from Wanwan and Xiao Bai that you participated in the Talisman Dao Trial. Didn't you say that you didn't want to become a disciple of the Fu-lu School?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. Then, he hugged her tightly again and said, "Because I want to be in the same sect as you …"
