Participating in the Talisman Dao Trial was killing three birds with one stone.
They could get the talisman and give Li Qing a chance to return to the Fu-lu School in the future. They could also become fellow disciples with Liu Hanyan and have a closer relationship. They could also take the opportunity to infiltrate the Fu-lu School and become the Empress's spy in the Fu-lu School. The three of them could answer to anyone.
It was the best of three, killing three birds with one stone.
Liu Hanyan was touched and snuggled in Li Mu's arms. The two of them were affectionate for a while. While Liu Hanyan was bathing, Li Mu went to the main peak of Baiyun Mountain.
He still had not settled the score with the Fu-lu School's Head Teacher.
He had no choice but to join the Fu-lu School. Otherwise, he would be exposed in front of the Empress and Liu Hanyan. Of these two women, one could make him unable to attend court, and the other could make him unable to sleep. He could not afford to offend either of them.
However, he still had great use for the talisman in the future, so he could not use it on himself.
Fortunately, the Fu-lu School's Head Teacher said that he could join the sect without the talisman. It should not be a polite remark.
However, before joining the sect, Li Mu had to settle the score first.
When he became a disciple of the Fu-lu School, he would be family with them. This score was not easy to settle.
Baiyun Mountain, Daoist Palace on the main peak.
The Fu-lu School's Head Teacher, Xuan Jizi, looked at Li Mu and asked, "Young friend, your mind is injured. Why don't you recuperate on Baiyun Mountain?"
Li Mu cursed in his heart. How shameless. How could they not know why his mind was injured? If they did not use him, how could his mind be injured?
Li Mu looked at him and said calmly, "I'm here to get my five Heaven-grade Fu-lu."
Xuan Jizi said, "There are only a few Heaven-grade Fu-lu in the Ancestral Court every year, and they are all given to core disciples. I don't have any now."
Li Mu's face darkened as he asked, "You lied to me?"
Xuan Jizi smiled and said, "When your mind recovers, I can ask the peak masters to help you draw five of them. The materials used for the talismans will be provided by the Ancestral Court."
Li Mu looked at Xuan Jizi in a daze. He couldn't imagine that someone like him who looked like an immortal could actually smile and say such shameless words.
It was one thing to use him, but to compensate him for his Fu-lu, he had to draw it himself. Was this something a sect leader would do?
Li Mu took a deep breath and swallowed his anger.
After all, his wife was still in Fu-lu School, and he would need their help in the future. As long as he had the materials, it was fine for him to draw it himself. Sooner or later, he would get his revenge somewhere else.
Today, he blackmailed him for five Fu-lu, and tomorrow, Li Mu would kidnap his family's Zhong.
At this time, Xuan Jizi said, "According to the past practice, the disciples recruited by the Talisman Dao Trial can only become the fourth generation disciples. If you enter the Fu-lu School, I can make an exception and let you become a disciple of a peak master …"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked into the Dao Palace. Li Mu looked back and found that the person was Fu Daozi, who was called Uncle-Master by Xuan Jizi and the others.
Talisman Daozi walked up to Li Mu and passed a jade slip to him. He said, "Even though you're unwilling to take me as your master, you've given me ten more years of lifespan. I'll give you my lifetime's comprehension of the Talisman Dao. I hope you'll be able to bring my Talisman Dao to greater heights."
Xuan Jizi looked at the old man and said, "There are many talented disciples in the Ancestral Court. If Uncle-Master is willing, you can choose one of them to inherit your mantle."
Daoist Talisman revealed a proud expression as he said, "They aren't worthy of inheriting my mantle!"
Xuan Jizi shook his head but didn't say anything.
Although this Uncle-Master's attainments in the Talisman Dao were extraordinary, he had a strange temper. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Fu-lu School 20 years ago. He could only give him advice on this matter and couldn't make the decision for him.
Li Mu stood in the Dao Palace and thought quickly.
He definitely had to join the Fu-lu School. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Empress and Liu Hanyan.
Xuan Jizi just said that he could choose a peak master. In this way, he would become a third generation disciple like Liu Hanyan.
The Sect Master and the peak masters were all second generation disciples.
Li Mu had been unhappy with them for a long time and didn't want to be inferior to them after joining the sect.
If he became Fu Daozi's disciple, he would be a second generation disciple and be in the same generation as the Sect Master and the peak masters. He would also be able to take charge of the Fu-lu School in the second half of the plan.
Now that he had the status, the only thing he lacked was his cultivation.
When his cultivation improved, he could draw Fu-lu at will and bring glory to the Fu-lu School. At that time, how could Xuan Jizi still have the face to occupy the position of the Sect Master?
Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly looked at Fu Daozi and said, "I'm willing to be your disciple."
Xuan Jizi was stunned. Fu Daozi was stunned for a moment before he looked at Li Mu in surprise and asked, "What did you say?"
Li Mu cupped his fists and bowed to him. He repeated, "I'm willing to be your disciple."
Fu Daozi grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "Good, good, good. I didn't expect that I would be able to take in a disciple with the Heart of Seven Orifices before I die. Don't worry, before I die, I will teach you all my Talisman Dao comprehension …"
Li Mu didn't know what the Heart of Seven Orifices was, but since Fu Daozi had the first impression and explained it for him, he didn't even have to make up a reason …
Originally, he was slightly resistant to taking a stranger as his master. But at this moment, when he saw an old man with one foot in the grave, who was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears and his white beard was trembling, for some reason, that trace of resistance quickly disappeared.
Li Mu said with a smile, "When my mind recovers, I will draw a few more Heavenly Secret Talismans for you."
Fu Daozi said with a gratified expression, "The Heavenly Secret Talisman can only conceal the Heavenly Secret once. After ten years, if I can't advance to the Transcendence Realm, it will be the day of my death. However, I have no regrets to take in such a disciple. So what if those old fellows have a higher cultivation than me? Can their disciples be as powerful as my disciples?"
A moment later, in a Dao Palace behind the main peak.
Li Mu knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to Fu Daozi three times. He said, "Greetings, Master."
The grand elder's disciple recruitment was supposed to be a grand ceremony. Three months in advance, all the disciples of the Talisman Puppet Sect's ancestral court and the sect masters of the sub-sects were supposed to come from all over to congratulate him.
As soon as Xuan Jizi proposed it, Li Mu and Fu Daozi rejected it at the same time.
Li Mu didn't want to be high-profile, but Fu Daozi obviously had other reasons.
Fu Daozi personally helped Li Mu up and said, "Twenty years ago, I was dissatisfied with Senior Brother passing the position of Sect Master to Xuan Jizi, so I left Mount Baiyun in anger. This time, I returned to the mountain only to find a disciple to pass on my Talisman Dao before the end of my life. As for other miscellaneous matters, it's better to avoid them …"
Li Mu could feel the lethargy in his body and the unwillingness in his tone. He could only say, "There are still ten years. Perhaps in these ten years, Master can find a way to transcend …"
Fu Daozi shook his head and said, "If I could find it, I would have found it long ago. You don't have to feel sorry for me. I have experienced everything in my life. If I can find a disciple who can pass on my Talisman Dao before the end of my life, I will die without regrets. At that time, you can find a mountain on Mount Baiyun and bury me. Every year, you can come to burn an incense stick, so that we won't be in vain …"
He was disappointed for a while, but then he became excited again. He looked at Li Mu with shining eyes and said, "There are still ten years. You can do a lot of things in ten years. You have the Heart of Seven Orifices, so you can definitely pass on my Talisman Dao. Unfortunately, it's difficult for you to break through to the Transcendence Realm in ten years. Otherwise, I can see with my own eyes that you become the Sect Master of Fu Lu School …"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly, "Sect … Sect Master?"
Fu Daozi sneered and said, "When you break through to the Transcendence Realm, as long as you have the materials, you can have as many Saint-level Fu-lu as you want. At that time, Fu Lu School will rely on you to develop. Xuan Jizi won't have the face to hold on to the position of Sect Master. He stole my position, so I will let my disciple steal his position …"
After Li Mu came back to his senses, he looked at Fu Daozi and said firmly, "Don't worry, Master. I will work hard to improve my cultivation and avenge you!"
"Good disciple!" Fu Daozi laughed and said, "Let's go. Let's get to know your Senior Brothers and Sisters again. It's a pity that those two old guys are not here. They have more good things …"
Li Mu soon understood what "get to know them again" meant. He touched the Flask Heaven Ring on his finger and thought, 'Sooner or later, I will have to change to a bigger space ring …'
On Jade Emperor Peak, Master Zhengyang took out a Fu-lu with extreme heartache and passed it to Li Mu. He said, "This is Senior Brother's gift for our first meeting. Junior Brother, you must accept it …"
On Azure Profound Peak, Hyun Jinko had an embarrassed expression as he looked at Fu Daozi and said, "Martial Uncle, I don't have anything good in my possession right now. Can I …"
Fu Daozi frowned and said, "Where's your Azure Profound Sword?"
Hyun Jinko sighed and said, "I gave it to Junior Brother Li's Dao Companion last time …"
On Cangling Peak, Master Ashen Pine passed a stack of Fu-lu to Li Mu and said, "Senior Brother doesn't have any Heaven-rank Fu-lu, but these are high-grade Earth-rank Fu-lu. Junior Brother, please accept them …"
On White Cloud Peak.
Fu Daozi listened to the report of an elder and said, "What? Yuzhen is in closed door cultivation? Where is she? I'll go wake her up …"
Li Mu hurriedly stopped him, "Master, forget it, forget it. It's not too late to wait for her to come out …"
…
Two hours later, Li Mu landed on White Cloud Peak again.
He touched the ring on his hand once again. Other than Yuzhen who had yet to come out of closed door cultivation, all the First Seats, including the Sect Master, had been severely blackmailed.
If it wasn't for Li Mu stopping him, Fu Daozi might have forcefully called Yuzhen out of closed door cultivation.
Liu Hanyan had already finished bathing. She walked to Li Mu's side and asked, "Have you joined a sect?"
Li Mu nodded.
Liu Hanyan looked up at him and asked rather proudly, "Then are you going to call me Martial Uncle in the future?"
Li Mu shook his head. He was now a second-generation disciple of the Fu-lu School and was of the same generation as the Fu-lu School's Sect Master, her master Yuzhen, and the First Seats of the Peak.
Liu Hanyan was slightly stunned and then said, "Could it be that you've also become the disciple of a First Seat of a Peak?"
Li Mu continued to shake his head.
Liu Hanyan thought for a moment and muttered, "Could it be that your Master is the Sect Master … Even if that's the case, you still have to call me Senior Sister."
Li Mu knocked her head lightly and looked at her with a smile, "Martial Niece Liu, don't be rude to your Martial Uncle …"
