On the flying boat, Ao Chengxin seemed to have sensed something. He said to Li Mu, "That person is very strange."
Li Mu asked casually, "What did you see?"
Ao Chengxin said, "Spiritual Qi. He has gathered a lot of Spiritual Qi."
Li Mu stood at the bow of the boat and looked down. Under the influence of Old Wang, he had read a lot of books. Of course, what he saw was not only Spiritual Qi. For a person who had never cultivated before to have such dense Spiritual Qi around him, it could only mean that he had a special physique. It was very likely that he was a rare innate spiritual body.
As the name implied, he could use his body to attract Spiritual Qi.
This was a physique more suitable for cultivation than the Five Elements Physique, Pure Yin, and Pure Yang. Hyun Jinko was an innate spiritual body. With this talent and the inheritance of his sect, he was able to become the headmaster of the Fu-lu School.
If that young man from the Shen Kingdom was born in the Great Zhou, he would definitely be a genius that all the major sects would fight over.
Unfortunately, he was born in the Shen Kingdom.
Looking at his clothes, he should be the lowest of the low. The Shen Kingdom's royal family divided the people into four classes. The cultivators of the sects and the royal family were the first class, the nobles were the first class, and the merchants were the first class. The common people were the lowest class. The common people could not receive education and could not cultivate. No matter how talented they were, it was futile.
Li Mu had already realized that although talent could make cultivation twice the result with half the effort, the decisive factors were one's hard work, two's luck, and of course, the most important was the inheritance. A person with an innate spiritual body cultivating for a hundred years was not as good as a person with mediocre talent receiving a strand of Emperor's Qi. After all, a person's hundred years of hard work could not compare to the years of hard work of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Zhou.
On the path of cultivation, most of the so-called top geniuses would eventually become ordinary people.
He quickly put this matter to the back of his mind. At this time, Ao Chengxin suddenly pointed to a short mountain in front of them and said excitedly, "I feel it. My inner core is there!"
Li Mu stood on the flying boat and looked at the short mountain in the distance.
At the top of the hill, there was a magnificent temple. A row of stone steps extended from the top of the hill to the foot of the hill. On the stone steps, there were many people slowly climbing up. Every few steps, they would kneel down and kowtow. From their bodies, there was a faint aura of telekinesis.
Within the Shen Kingdom, sects flourished. This was the origin of Buddhism, and countless sects flourished here. Even the Shen Kingdom's royal family used sects to control the Shen Kingdom.
Although the Shen Kingdom was not as big as the Great Zhou, it had a large population and was very suitable for the development of sects. This was obviously the location of a sect.
Before Li Mu and Cheng Xin could get close, a figure suddenly flew out from the temple.
It was a tall and sturdy man with bulging muscles. He didn't have any hair on his head and held a Buddhist staff in his hand. He frowned at Ao Weixin and asked, "Evil dragon, what are you doing here instead of guarding the lake?"
Ao Chengxin stood on the flying boat, turned around and looked at Li Mu, then summoned up his courage and said, "Give me back my inner core."
The bald man sneered and said, "If you want the inner core, come and get it yourself."
Cheng Xin looked at Li Mu again. Li Mu said indifferently, "If he wants you to get it, go get it yourself. Don't worry, I will watch over you from the side."
When she had her Neidan, she wasn't this baldy's opponent. Now that she had lost her Neidan, she couldn't beat him. But at this moment, she didn't have any other choice. She could only summon two pitchforks and bite the bullet to attack the baldy.
Li Mu stretched out his hand, and the shrunken Dao Bell floated in his palm and kept spinning.
"Go."
Li Mu waved his hand, and the Dao Bell suddenly flew to Cheng Xin and merged with her body.
Cheng Xin only felt that something had happened to her body, but the bald man's staff was already smashing towards her. She could only raise her pitchforks to block.
Clang!
The staff and pitchforks collided, and there was a deafening sound. Cheng Xin's body floated in the air, but the bald man was bounced back with his staff. Cheng Xin was stunned for a moment, then she spat out a mouthful of dragon's breath without hesitation.
The bald man hurriedly responded. He waved his sleeves and hid his body behind his wide monk's robes. But this treasured robe was still burned with two big holes.
He was shocked and angry, and his hands formed a seal. At this moment, the young man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Formation!"
As soon as he said this, his body was suddenly bound by the power of heaven and earth. He couldn't move, and the spell he was about to cast was also interrupted.
Although he immediately used his spiritual power to break free, the dragon girl didn't let go of this opportunity. A pitchfork pierced towards his head. A golden light burst out from the top of his head and bounced the pitchfork away, but he was also injured. Blood flowed down from the top of his head, blurring his vision …
Ever since he stepped into the sixth level, he hadn't been injured for a long time. At this moment, his anger wasn't on the dragon girl, but on the man behind her.
If this person hadn't been causing trouble at the side, he would have taken down the dragon girl long ago.
He formed a seal with one hand and pushed a palm towards Li Mu.
In the void in front of the two, an illusory palm print suddenly appeared and pressed down on Li Mu.
At the same time, the space Li Mu was in seemed to be completely sealed. Palm prints appeared in all directions around him, sealing off all his escape routes.
When the palm prints arrived, Li Mu's body suddenly disappeared. The many palm prints resisted and melted, and Li Mu's body appeared again.
As long as the opponent wasn't at the seventh level or the peak of the sixth level, he could escape into the Demon Emperor's Space at any time to avoid the enemy's attack.
The bald man's attack didn't hurt Li Mu, and Ao Shouxin was already charging over with her pitchforks. While he was dealing with the dragon, there were thunderous roars above his head, strong winds blowing, and thousands of swords shooting out. He was in a sorry state, and his treasured robes were already riddled with holes. The young man's spell was strange, and he didn't know what was up with the dragon girl. Although her attacks weren't much stronger, her defense was more than ten times stronger. He couldn't break through her defense at all.
If this continued, he might be exhausted to death by the man and dragon here.
He had originally prepared that dragon inner core for the treasure hunt at the bottom of the sea. Now, it seemed like he had to return it.
He waved his hand, and a white inner core the size of a pigeon egg flew out and was swallowed by Ao Shouxin. The inner core returned to her body, and her aura soared. Soon, she reached the peak of the fifth level.
The bald man regulated his body as he said, "I've given you the item. You can leave now, right?"
Li Mu didn't think of directly killing this bald man. Which sixth level elite didn't have a trump card? He couldn't take him down in a short time. Moreover, if he stayed in a stalemate with him for too long, it would be very disadvantageous for them in the Shen Nation's territory if he summoned the other elites of the Shen Nation.
However, it wasn't his style to just walk away like this.
Li Mu looked at him and said calmly, "You snatched someone else's item, and it's fine just to return it?"
The bald man asked in a low voice, "What else do you want?"
Li Mu said, "You bullied my people. You have to pay the price, right?"
The bald man's face darkened. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand at Li Mu, and a white light shot out. Li Mu reached out to catch it, and a jade scroll appeared in his hand.
The bald man said, "This is a map of an ancient secret realm that I obtained in my early years. I'll give it to you."
Li Mu used his psychic power to check the jade scroll, and found that there was indeed a map imprinted in it. The location marked on the map should be in the Southern Sea. No wonder this bald man wanted Shouxin's inner core. Without the dragon inner core, it was very difficult for humans to move in the deep sea. Every time they dived a certain distance, they would need to use their transcendence energy to resist the water pressure. Below several thousand meters, sixth level elites would need to use all their transcendence energy to barely move. If they encountered any threat, they would be doomed.
He kept the jade scroll and said, "Shouxin, let's go."
Ao Shouxin, who had regained her inner core, was in a good mood. She immediately flew onto Li Mu's flying ship. The bald man looked at the flying ship leaving, and his face darkened. He turned into a ray of light again and flew into the temple.
The believers on the mountain path did not know that a great battle had happened in the sky. They were still climbing the mountain and praying devoutly.
On the flying ship, Li Mu handed the jade scroll to Shouxin. After Shouxin checked it, she nodded and said, "That is indeed the Southern Sea. However, it is not easy to find. The sea is very big, much bigger than the countries on land. It is very, very difficult to find a place in the sea, and it is also very easy to encounter danger …"
The ancient secret realm was indeed very attractive to Li Mu. There would often be dao arts inheritances from the previous era there. However, Li Mu did not have the time to look for them now. He still had to settle the matter of the Shen Country. The arrogant group of Shen Country people at the border was temporarily intimidated. However, according to their temperament, it would not be long before they would forget this painful memory.
The flying ship landed outside a city in the Northern Bang of the Shen Country. Ao Shouxin asked Li Mu in confusion, "Are we not going back?"
Li Mu said indifferently, "There is no hurry."
In the past, his understanding of the Shen Country was all from the mouths of others. Since he had come to the Shen Country this time, he wanted to see for himself what kind of country it was.
The difference in appearance between the two of them and the Shen Country people was too great. Li Mu and her changed a little, and they did not seem that special.
In the small city, Li Mu and Shouxin walked side by side. Even though she had changed into the clothes of the Shen Country people and hid her dragon horns, it was still difficult to hide her natural beauty.
Walking on the street, from time to time, men would cast strange looks at her.
It was human nature to love beauty. For a woman like her, walking on the streets of any city in the Great Zhou, there would be a high number of people turning their heads. However, the behavior of the people of the Great Zhou and the people of the Shen Country were completely different.
When the people of the Great Zhou saw a beautiful woman, most of them looked at her with admiration. When they were discovered by a woman, they would also look away in embarrassment.
However, the people of the Shen Country people would not do that. They would silently look at a woman with naked eyes. If it was just one or two, it would be fine. However, when most of the men on the street looked at her with such eyes, even the powerful dragon girl hid behind Li Mu.
She was not afraid, but disgusted and disgusted.
She had never seen such people and such a country.
The city was filled with a foul smell. People were relieving themselves on the street and looking at women with very rude eyes. Animal feces could be seen everywhere. In a river that flowed through the city, some people were bathing, some were drinking water, and some were burning corpses …
"Urgh …"
Seeing the filthy river, Shouxin covered her mouth and almost vomited. As a member of the Water Race, as long as she thought about the existence of such a river, she felt uncomfortable all over. She grabbed Li Mu's wrist and begged, "Let's go back …"
Li Mu said, "If you want to go back, then go back first."
Ao Shouxin had no choice but to continue walking in the city with Li Mu. She did not dare to go back alone, nor could she go back alone. What if he thought she wanted to take the opportunity to escape? What if she met that bald man again? She still felt safe following Li Mu.
The two of them walked on the street. When they passed by an alley, a few men behind them suddenly came forward and surrounded them.
Li Mu did not even look at them and walked straight through the crowd.
The men did not expect him to be so tactful. They surrounded the beautiful woman and forced her into the alley.
Soon, Ao Yixin walked over from behind and caught up with Li Mu. With a light snort, he spat out two balls of flame from his nose.
He looked at Li Mu and asked, "This country is too disgusting. Your Great Zhou is so powerful. Why don't you destroy them?"
Li Mu said, "They're only disgusting themselves now. If we destroy them, won't the Great Zhou be disgusted as well?"
It was best to let the people of Shen settle the matter themselves. Li Mu originally thought that with so many people in Shen being treated as lowly commoners and being bullied like this, the people would definitely be angry. However, after seeing it for himself, he realized that they seemed to recognize this kind of status from the bottom of their hearts.
The people of Great Zhou did not believe in this kind of thing at all. The people living in that land believed that the imperial court was not benevolent and should be overthrown to establish a new one. They believed that the imperial court should serve the people and not enslave them.
The people of Shen did not give Li Mu this kind of feeling. The lowly commoners of Shen who were being bullied were also bullying others.
Women had no status here. From the top to the bottom, from the commoners to the officials, whether it was in the countryside or in the small alleys of the city, there were endless cases of rape. It was very difficult to see women on the streets. However, whenever a woman walked by, there would be many men casting unscrupulous wolf-like gazes at her.
In three days, Li Mu and Cheng Xin had passed through four small cities and more than a dozen villages. They had encountered dozens of roadblocks. Although they had met many good people, evil had become the norm. The few good people were easy to be ignored.
After personally experiencing the local customs of Shen, Li Mu released the flying boat again. The two of them stood on the boat. The flying boat quickly flew across the sky, heading toward the southern county of Great Zhou.
Cheng Xin stood behind Li Mu. At a certain moment, the flying boat suddenly stopped. Her body leaned forward and bumped into Li Mu.
She hugged her chest and asked nervously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Li Mu stood at the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. His face was filled with shock.
Even standing here, he could feel that the power of heaven and earth in that direction had suddenly become extremely violent. Even though Li Mu was experienced and knowledgeable, he could not imagine what kind of supernatural power could trigger such a huge amount of power of heaven and earth.
With a heart full of doubts, Li Mu controlled the flying boat again and sped forward.
