On the third floor of Fu-lu Pavilion.
Xiao Bai and Wanwan were playing Aeroplane Chess. Occasionally, they would turn their heads to look at a room not far away. Cheng Xin and Li Mu's "en en" and "ah ah" sounds could be heard from the room.
Dragon language was really difficult to learn. At first, they were curious and wanted to learn it, but because it was too difficult, they both gave up very quickly.
In the room, Li Mu looked at the strange characters that Cheng Xin wrote on the paper and made strange sounds.
Cheng Xin shook her head and corrected him, "That's not how you pronounce it. Repeat after me * …%."
Li Mu imitated, "*% …"
"No, it's * …%."
"* ¥%."
… …
Cheng Xin had to correct him many times before Li Mu finally learned this note. He had always thought that he was smart until he began to learn the Dragon Language. When he first learned the Shen Guo language, it was as easy as blowing off dust. However, the Dragon Language could not be learned in that way. It could only be taught by a dragon hand in hand and mouth.
Li Mu also knew many Fey languages, but none of them were as difficult as Dragon Language. It made him wonder from time to time if Dragon Language was the language of this world.
After learning for a while, he said to Cheng Xin, "Your language is too difficult. If you don't have anything to do tonight, you can stay in my room."
With their cultivation, it was no problem for them to not sleep for a few days and nights. Li Mu was now very curious about the Dragon Race. The first thing he needed to do was to learn Dragon language.
The Xuanzong Exchange Conference would last for a month. Li Mu was not in a hurry to go back, since he had traveled thousands of miles to come here.
In the next few days, he and Cheng Xin stayed in their room and didn't come out at all. They studied day and night. Fu-lu Pavilion's business was also booming. Among the Six Sects' shops, only Fu-lu School was willing to lower themselves and truly think from the perspective of their customers.
In just a few days, the Talisman Pavilion's reputation had spread throughout the market, and the number of customers was increasing day by day. Some customers were even willing to come here to buy low-level elixirs and magic weapons, instead of choosing the Danding Sect and the North Sect.
Pill Cauldron Pavilion, Weapon Forging Pavilion, Spirit Array Pavilion.
The disciples of the various sects clearly discovered that the number of customers in their shops for this exchange meeting was much less than in the past. After some investigation, they discovered that many of the customers had been led away by Fu-lu Pavilion.
However, they didn't care too much about it. Cultivators prioritized cultivation. If it weren't for the sect's request, they wouldn't even bother to come here and waste a month doing business.
The other sects didn't care, and Xuanzong naturally didn't care either.
The better Fu-lu School's business was, the more benefits Xuanzong would reap. No matter how the other sects and clans competed for customers, Xuanzong would always be the final winner.
A few days later, under Cheng Xin's tutelage day and night, Li Mu finally managed to reach a rudimentary understanding of Dragon language.
Of course, he was still far from being able to understand the Dragon King's diary.
Today, there was a lecture by Xuanzong. Li Mu planned to go listen. First, he wanted to go out and get some fresh air. Second, he had received Xuanzong's invitation to participate in the lecture. For this exchange meeting, Li Mu was the only second-generation disciple of Fu-lu School. He still had to give face to Xuanzong.
There weren't many people in Fu-lu Pavilion today. There weren't even many customers in the market.
On the neighboring island, a large training hall was packed with people. Today, Xuanzong's experts would be lecturing here. They would also answer some questions about cultivation. It was possible that one sentence from them could save many people months or even years of cultivation. Even cultivators who came for business purposes wouldn't miss such a grand event.
At the front of the training hall, there were several seats.
Those seats were reserved for the seniors of the Six Sects of Taoism. Generally speaking, those who could sit there were second-generation disciples of the Six Sects of Taoism, Dongxuan's experts. Except for the young man sitting on the left.
A few days ago, he spent a lot of money in the market and severely embarrassed Qing Xuanzi. Later, people began to inquire about his identity. They learned that he was the disciple of Fu Daozi, the Supreme Elder of Fu-lu School. Although his cultivation wasn't as high as Dongxuan, he was a true second-generation disciple of Fu-lu School. He was in the same generation as the chief and chief of the Six Sects.
Below these seats, there were about a dozen seats, which belonged to some well-known cultivation clans and mid-level sects in Zuzhou, as well as some Xuanzong disciples. As for the others, they could only sit cross-legged on the ground and listen.
"That's Master Shen of Jing Country. The Shen family started with a spiritual jade mine. His family's strength is no weaker than a mid-level sect."
"I heard that he bought a Talisman of Creation from Fu-lu School. A Heaven-grade Fu-lu costs at least 100,000 spiritual jades, and he has to prepare ten sets of Talisman Liquid. The Shen family is really rich …"
"The Six Sects have to be the richest. Fu-lu School sells a Fu-lu for 100,000 spiritual jades, and he has to prepare his own materials. This is simply robbing spiritual jades …"
"You can't say that. Who doesn't know that the success rate of a Heaven-grade Fu-lu is extremely low? Ten sets of materials may not be enough to make one. Moreover, I heard that the rules of Fu-lu Pavilion have changed. The Fu-lu Pavilion doesn't accept spiritual jades before it's completed. It can be said that the Six Sects have a conscience …"
…
The crowd kept talking. When more than ten young disciples of Xuanzong flew down from above and landed on their seats, the cultivators sitting cross-legged in the Taoist field were in an uproar.
"It's Qing Yunzi. He's only in his thirties, but his cultivation has already reached Dongxuan. He's Xuanzong, no, he's the first among the fourth generation disciples of the Six Sects of Taoism. He's bound to be the next Sect Master of Xuanzong."
"Although his cultivation was piled up by Xuanzong with a lot of resources, his talent can't be ignored to be able to push his cultivation to Dongxuan in such a short time …"
"Qing Chengzi, Qing Xuanzi, Qing Shuangzi, and Xuanzong's young geniuses have all come out. I really envy them. Each of them has amazing talent and has such a powerful sect behind them. Sooner or later, they'll become the strongest in the world."
…
Amidst the discussion, Li Mu's gaze swept across the young disciples. When his gaze swept across a young disciple, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
That young disciple called Qing Chengzi gave him a sense of familiarity.
However, Li Mu had never been to Xuanzong before, and he didn't know any Xuanzong disciples.
He quickly searched through his memory, and soon, this person's figure overlapped with a shadow in Li Mu's memory.
A few years ago, when Li Mu was still working in the North County, the wife of the Rat King under the White Demon King was once injured by a human cultivator.
The human cultivator who injured the Rat King's wife was the one who killed Xiao Bai's entire family.
Xuanzong's Qing Chengzi looked exactly like that person.
Not only that, but his aura also reminded Li Mu of the aura that remained in Xiao Bai's grandmother and the Rat King's wife.
Just as Li Mu confirmed this person's identity, a fierce shout came from a futon in front of the training hall.
"Give me back my grandmother's life!"
A white figure flew up from the futon. The sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Qing Chengzi.
This sudden change immediately attracted the attention of countless people in front of the training hall.
The cultivators in the training ground were extremely shocked. There was actually someone who dared to assassinate a disciple of the Xuan Sect right in front of the elders of the Xuan Sect. This kind of suicidal behavior could be considered crazy.
Qing Chengzi and the other young disciples didn't expect this to happen. Facing that figure, the others didn't move. They believed that Qing Chengzi could deal with it alone.
Qing Chengzi was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he unsheathed the long sword on his back and faced the figure.
After a short exchange, he found that the beautiful woman's cultivation was almost the same as his. He was shocked and confused. When did he provoke such a strong cultivator?
Facing such an opponent, Qing Chengzi didn't dare to underestimate her. He immediately used several of his most powerful spells. However, facing his spells, the woman only cared about attacking and didn't defend at all. Every time his attacks landed on her body, they would immediately dissipate.
After a short exchange, Qing Chengzi had already determined that the woman not only had a good cultivation, but also had a defensive treasure. He wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short time.
Just as he was feeling anxious, the old man in the front seat suddenly stood up and snorted. He said loudly, "Who are you? How dare you come to my Xuanzong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent giant hand appeared in the void and grabbed at the woman.
Under the pressure of the giant hand, the cultivators with low cultivation suddenly felt like Mount Tai was pressing down on them. They found it difficult to breathe. Even the strong cultivators in the Creation Realm found it difficult to breathe. They were shocked by the power of Dongxuan.
Under the pressure of the giant hand, Xiao Bai couldn't move. She could only watch as the hand grabbed at her.
In the next moment, a figure that wasn't very big but made her feel at ease stood in front of her.
Li Mu floated in the void in front of Xiao Bai. He didn't do anything. The aura in his body swept out, and the giant hand collapsed. After a moment of silence, there was another uproar.
"Isn't that the senior from Fu-lu School? Why is he helping this assassin?"
"Didn't you notice that this female assassin is the beauty who has been following this senior around?"
"What's wrong with Qing Chengzi? He seems to have a death feud with this beauty …"
"This is going to be interesting. The conflict between Fu-lu School and Xuanzong …"
As the crowd discussed in low voices, someone suddenly realized something and said in surprise, "The one who attacked just now was Senior Miao Yuanzi from Xuanzong. He has advanced to Dongxuan many years ago. This senior from Fu-lu School is only at the fifth realm, but he blocked Senior Miao Yuanzi's angry attack so easily. It's unbelievable …"
Only then did the crowd realize this. They all looked at the figure floating in the void with shocked eyes. Among the disciples of Xuanzong, Qing Xuanzi's face was pale. If Elder Miao Yuanzi's palm strike had landed on him, he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die. However, it was easily resolved by this person. Thinking of the conflict between him and this person, Qing Xuanzi suddenly felt a wave of fear.
Li Mu slowly landed and looked back at Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai bit her lower lip and tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Benefactor, I …"
Li Mu held her in his arms with one hand and patted her back. He said softly, "I know. Leave the rest to me."
Wanwan and Cheng Xin also left the crowd and quickly stood beside Xiao Bai.
Li Mu waved his hand and a golden light shot out. Qing Chengzi suddenly felt his waist tighten, and he couldn't circulate his spiritual power. Then, he was dragged to Li Mu by a huge force.
At the front of the training hall, Miao Yuanzi looked at Li Mu with a gloomy face and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
Li Mu shook his wrist, and the bound Qing Chengzi knelt on the ground. He looked at Miao Yuanzi with a gloomy face and said, "You connived with your disciples to bring disaster to the Great Zhou and kill my sister's family. What right do you have to ask me?"
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Beside Miao Yuanzi, a female cultivator stood up and said, "Senior Brother Miao Yuanzi, Junior Brother Ling Jizi, let's sit down and talk. There may be some misunderstanding. The Six Sects are one family. Let's not hurt each other."
The people of the Danding Sect stood up. Miao Yuanzi's face didn't soften. Instead, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Junior Sister Jadesun, you all saw it. Today, it was Fu-lu School who provoked you first. It wasn't my Xuanzong that was rude."
Jadesun walked in front of Li Mu and said, "Junior Brother Ling Jizi, let this disciple go first. If there's anything, we can talk about it slowly …"
After all, this was Xuanzong, and Li Mu wasn't an unreasonable person. He took back the Immortal-binding Lock. Miao Yuanzi waved his sleeve, rolled up Qing Chengzi, and flew up to the Dao Palace.
Li Mu followed with Xiao Bai and Wanwan. Seeing this, Jadesun and the elders of the other four sects looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They also flew up.
Even with the Xuanzong elders presiding, the training hall still became chaotic.
"What's going on?"
"Xuanzong is a righteous sect. How could a disciple of Xuanzong do something like killing people?"
"There must be some kind of misunderstanding."
"I also think it's a misunderstanding …"
The disciples of Xuanzong who stayed behind also sighed. Qing Songzi shook his head and sighed. "I've already advised Senior Brother Qing Chengzi not to be too eager for quick success, but he just wouldn't listen. He likes to kill demons for their demon cores and souls. Now they've come knocking on his door …"
Although Qing Songzi deliberately lowered his voice when talking to his fellow disciples, there were nearly ten thousand people in the training hall, and many of them had high cultivation. It was easy for them to hear what he said.
"What? Qing Chengzi likes to kill demons? Isn't this forbidden by the big sects? Besides, the Great Zhou court doesn't allow this kind of behavior."
"Forbidden is forbidden. Killing demons isn't killing people. How could a core disciple like Qing Chengzi be punished by the sect for killing a few demons …"
"So what that senior said is true?"
"So what if it's true, so what if it's false? How can Fu-lu School's strength compare to Xuanzong? If you were Xuanzong's sect master, would you punish a core disciple for such a small matter and damage the sect's reputation?"
Hearing the discussion, a Xuanzong female disciple glared at Qing Songzi and said, "Qing Songzi, can you shut your mouth!"
Qing Songzi said innocently, "I'm just doing this for Senior Brother Qing Chengzi's sake. Let's go up and take a look. I don't know how the sect master will punish Senior Brother Qing Chengzi …"
