It wasn't that Mr. Mei became younger when he broke through the realm. It was just that every time he broke through the realm, his body and primordial spirit would undergo a sublimation.
In the process of breaking through, her skin became more delicate, so she looked younger.
When Shangguan Li broke through, her body also underwent such changes. However, she was young, so the changes didn't seem to be big.
Even Mr. Mei had broken through. He wondered how Liu Hanyan and Li Qing were doing in Mount Baiyun. Li Mu planned to ask Xuan Jizi, but the sound transmission magic instrument from Fu-lu School vibrated on its own.
…
In the imperial kitchen.
Shangguan Li was carefully boiling a bowl of soup. Mr. Mei walked in and asked, "Ah Li, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Li added some spices and said angrily, "Can't you see? I'm spooning."
Mr. Mei asked curiously, "When did you become interested in these things?"
Shangguan Li said lightly, "Recently."
Mr. Mei picked up a spoon and reached for the bowl. Shangguan Li hit the back of his hand. Shanghai Li said, "If you want to eat, make it yourself. It's not for you."
Mr. Mei asked curiously, "Then who is it for? Is it for His Majesty?"
Then she denied this conjecture. If it was given to His Majesty, Ah Li would definitely be happy, and not have this expression of someone who owed her a huge debt, as if she wanted to spit in the soup.
She thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Is it for Li Mu?"
Shangguan Li hated Li Mu so much that her teeth itched.
Not only did he take His Majesty away from her, but he also treated her like that. However, she couldn't tell Sister Mei about this, even if she was one of the closest people to her.
Her expression was calm as she said indifferently, "It's nothing. The reason why we were able to break through was because of him. I originally wanted to return the favor and thank him, but he didn't seem to lack anything, so I cooked for him as a token of my appreciation."
Lord Mei thought for a moment before nodding. "That makes sense. Then shouldn't I thank him as well? But how should I thank him …"
By the time Shangguan Li finished preparing the soup and arrived at Changle Palace with Mr. Mei, Li Mu had already left.
Mr. Mei looked around, walked to the front of the hall, and whispered to Zhou Yi, "Your Majesty, where is Li Mu?"
Zhou Yi's tone was somewhat resentful as he said, "His wife has made a breakthrough in her cultivation and returned to Mount Baiyun."
Mr. Mei looked at Queen in surprise. When Li Mu left Fairy's Capital in the past, she was not happy, but she was more reluctant to part with him. This time, however, she was more upset.
She was sure that something must have happened while she was in seclusion.
When she was patrolling the palace with Shangguan Li, she asked, "Did something happen between Your Majesty and Li Mu?"
Shangguan Li raised her eyebrows. She pretended to be calm and asked, "What happened?"
Mr. Mei thought for a moment and said, "I don't know why, but I feel that Your Majesty is a bit strange. Not only Your Majesty, but you are also very strange …"
Shangguan Li shook her head and said, "You're being paranoid. You're overthinking it …"
…
Mount Baiyun.
Li Mu had just received the news from Xuan Jizi and rushed back as soon as possible.
Liu Hanyan and Li Qing successfully made a breakthrough in their cultivation on the same day and entered the Dongxuan Realm. Within ten years, the ancestral temple had produced two strands of Emperor's Qi. They had hopes of reaching the Transcendence Realm.
During this time, thanks to the endless supply of pills, many low-level disciples of the school had made breakthroughs in their cultivation. The overall strength of the Fu-lu School had quietly risen to a new level.
Li Mu took them back to his ancestral home in Yangqiu County to stay for a few days and reminisce about the past. Then, he took them to various parts of the Zu Continent. They left their traces in each of the 36 counties of the Great Zhou.
They watched the sunrise in Yuntai County, watched the sunset in Hanyang County, skied on the snowy mountains in Jiangyin County, and rode horses on the grasslands in Yantai County. They experienced all the infinite sceneries of the Great Zhou.
Eastern Sea, Yingzhou.
On the east coast of Yingzhou, three streaks of light slowly flew over from the sea.
These days, Li Mu took the two girls to experience the underwater world. They happened to be in Yingzhou, so they decided to go to Yingzhou to have a look.
Although Yingzhou was large, it was not suitable for humans to live in. There were many monsters and poisonous insects. Apart from a few natives, there were no countries here.
The headquarters of the Corpse Sect and the research organization of the School of Mohism led by Mo Li were both in the hinterland of Yingzhou.
Li Mu and the other two descended from the sky. When they approached a seemingly ordinary mountain, a few thick pillars of white light suddenly flew out from the mountain.
The white light was extremely fast and carried with it a destructive force. If a Transcendent Realm cultivator was hit by this attack, they would probably die on the spot. Li Mu waved his hand to dispel these attacks. A few people flew out from the mountain.
"Lord Li!"
"Stop the attack, it's Lord Li!"
They flew to Li Mu and bowed. "Greetings, Lord Li."
Li Mu landed in the middle of the mountain and saw a row of cannons extending outwards. The white light just now came from this row of cannons.
Mo Li hurriedly walked over and cupped his fists towards Li Mu. "This is a no-fly zone. These mechanisms have arrays that automatically sense mana fluctuations. Once they discover an intruder, they will attack. Please don't take offense, Lord Li..."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "It's fine."
The Mohist Clan was indeed a genius in the field of mechanisms. Using this artifact to guard the city was much more suitable than using humans. The formation would automatically sense the intruder and launch an indiscriminate attack. Even if it was unable to kill the intruder, it would be able to raise the alarm immediately.
Although they could not threaten cultivators of the Fifth Realm and above, killing a Fourth Realm cultivator was only a matter of one cannon.
If the army was equipped with these things on a large scale, they would become a nightmare for the low-level cultivators of the enemy forces.
Li Mu said to Mo Li, "What other mechanisms do you have? Let me see them."
As the successor of the School of Mohism, Mo Li knew the complete art of mechanisms. In the past, because he lacked manpower and financial resources, he could not display the School of Mohism's mechanisms. Now that he had the support of the Great Zhou, he could turn many powerful mechanisms from blueprints into reality in a short time.
The self-defense cannon that Li Mu had seen was only one of them. Referring to Li Mu's suggestion, he had also successfully developed another mechanism.
This mechanism was very similar to modern tanks in appearance. There was a formation carved at the bottom and it could be used on land and in the air. The entire mechanism was made from the hard materials used to forge artifacts. Although the cost of production was high, its defense was extremely strong. Even a Sixth Realm cultivator would not be able to break through it in a short time.
As long as a Third Realm cultivator controlled it simply and filled it with spiritual jades, it could become a killing machine. It only required one spiritual jade to kill low-level cultivators. It was also a fatal threat to Fifth Realm cultivators.
Just from the price, the materials of a single mechanical tank could be used to forge many artifacts. If it were not for the Great Zhou's wealth, they would not be able to afford to mass produce it.
However, the advantages of this mechanism were also irreplaceable.
It had the attack power of the Fifth Realm and above. As long as it had spiritual jades, it would never run out of mana. Its defense was extremely strong and its attack power was extremely high. If there were tens of thousands of these mechanisms, they could raze a small country to the ground in an instant. They could also make Xuanzong disappear from the East Sea.
Other than this kind of attack mechanism, the Mohist Sect also had some small auxiliary mechanisms.
Their voice transmission Dharma artifacts were unique. A mother box could have countless child boxes. The mother box could establish a connection with the child boxes. This way, Li Mu did not need to bring so many voice transmission Dharma artifacts. He only needed to hold a mother box and he could easily communicate with the person who had the child boxes.
Li Mu asked Mo Li to prepare dozens of child boxes for him. He gave one to Liu Hanyan and one to Li Qing. When he returned, he would give one each to Wanwan, Xiao Bai, Sister Mei, and Ah Li …
After that, he imprinted the Fu-lu, formation, and artifact forging knowledge that Mo Li might use in a jade scroll. If he could comprehend it, there was still the possibility of improvement and improvement in the Mohist Sect's Mechanical Arts.
After leaving Ying Zhou, Li Mu went to the Fairy's Capital with them.
At the same time, in the Demon Nation of Life State …
Hu Jiu led a few subordinates and floated on top of a mountain. She could not help but shiver when she saw the tragic situation below.
In a cave abode on the mountain, a small demon clan was slaughtered. The Demon Nation was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. This kind of thing happened from time to time. However, since these small demon clans submitted to the Thousand Fox Nation, no matter how powerful the demon clans in the Demon Nation were, they did not dare to do anything to them.
What was even more frightening was that this demon clan had died in a very strange way.
There were no wounds on their bodies, but the blood in their bodies had been sucked dry. There was not a single drop left. They had all turned into dried corpses. There was still a look of horror on their faces.
That was not all.
Not only this small demon clan, there was not a single living thing within a ten-mile radius of the mountain.
Whether it was the birds, the beasts, or the small demons in the mountain, they all seemed to have turned into mummified corpses at the same time. The mountain was dead silent. Hu Jiu and the other demons could even hear their own breathing. An extremely strange atmosphere was spreading among them …
