Ever since he knew that Li Mu could set up the Sky Stealing Formation and extend people's lifespan by 60 years, Ao Feng became more attentive to Li Mu in all aspects.
In the past, even when he was by Li Mu's side, he was reluctant and did not smile. Later on, he was always at Li Mu's beck and call, serving him tea, and flattering him to the best of his ability.
Now, he said that he wanted to give Li Mu a surprise. He must be trying to curry favor with Li Mu again, hoping that Li Mu could extend their lifespan by 60 years.
Of course, Li Mu would not extend their lifespan now. However, Li Mu planned to accept the surprise of the Black Dragon Race. The Dragon Race was the richest race in the world. It would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
Li Mu asked, "Where is the surprise?"
Ao Feng said, "Where are you now? I will send it to you."
Li Mu was in Shen 'du now. However, he planned to return to Mount Baiyun to send back the spiritual jades that he had obtained from the East Sea and North Sea. Thus, he said, "Send it to Mount Baiyun first. I will be there soon."
Not long after he put away the sound-transmitting instrument, the Empress walked in from outside.
She looked at Exquisite and said, "Exquisite, you go out first."
Exquisite looked up at her and then at Li Mu. Then, she put down the booklet in her hand and ran out quickly.
Zhou Yi crossed her arms and looked at Li Mu. She asked, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Li Mu raised his hands and said, "I will tell you. That day in the East Sea, Yinxin and Tingxin expressed their feelings to me. However, I did not do anything. Instead, I returned to Shen 'du to ask for Your Majesty's instructions …"
Zhou Yi glared at him and asked, "Ask for my instructions? Ask for my instructions? If I did not agree, would you send them back to the East Sea?"
Li Mu looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Your Majesty, you said last time that as long as it was written on that paper, you would not care …"
Zhou Yi's chest heaved. "I …"
She suddenly regretted letting Li Mu write these names on that piece of paper. This had become his golden ticket to avoid death. The only thing that made her feel a little gratified was that this time, he did not act first and report later. He knew to come back and ask for her permission first.
However, what made Zhou Yi angry was that Li Mu didn't act first and report later.
If he really did that, Zhou Yi would have an excuse to make trouble for him. Now, she could only suppress her anger in her heart. After all, she was the one who said that she would not care about his past. A monarch's words were not a joke. As the empress, how could she go back on her words?
Zhou Yi could only comfort herself with the fact that the Tingxin sisters were also on her side. If it weren't for Tingxin, she didn't know how long it would take for her to face her own heart and confide her feelings to Li Mu. How could she burn the bridge after crossing it?
She began to recall the names on the paper: Tingxin, Yinxin, Chengxin, Hu Liu, and A 'Li. Now, only Chengxin, Hu Liu, and A' Li were left. A 'Li would not like Li Mu. Hu Liu was far away in the Yao Kingdom, so she didn't care much. As for Chengxin, she had already returned to the South Sea. Even if she came back, she would be by her side and wouldn't give him a chance to take advantage of her.
Zhou Yi was relieved. She glanced at Li Mu and said, "Of course I remember what I said. I also like Tingxin very much. In the future, let her accompany me in the palace."
Li Mu shrugged and said, "As long as she is willing."
After getting past the Empress, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the foresight. If he hadn't written Tingxin and Yinxin's names, he wouldn't have been able to get past the Empress so easily this time.
After leaving the palace, Li Mu planned to return to Mount Baiyun to hand over the spiritual jades to the sect and see what the surprise Ao Feng mentioned was.
Could it be a million high-grade spiritual jades?
Or did they find a huge spiritual jade mine at the bottom of the sea?
Li Mu felt that Ao Feng had been by his side for a long time. He should know what he liked. Nothing could surprise him more than a million spiritual jades or an entire spiritual jade mine.
After all, the cultivation of the sect disciples required spiritual jades. The activation of the teleportation array required spiritual jades. The Great Sky Stealing Array required spiritual jades. Writing talismans, refining pills, refining weapons, and setting up arrays all required spiritual jades. In the cultivation world, spiritual jades were both resources and currency. They were the foundation of a sect's rise.
People of the Devil Path could take people's souls and essence blood without any scruples. However, cultivators of the Righteous Path could only use spiritual jades.
Not long after, in the largest Dao Palace on the main peak of Mount Baiyun.
When Li Mu took out six small mountains of high-grade spiritual jades from the Flask Space, Xuan Jizi and the others were only shocked for a moment before their expressions returned to normal.
After all, it was not the first time they had seen such a scene.
Fu Daozi looked away from the spiritual jades and said to Li Mu, "Disciple, come with me."
He brought Li Mu to a palace and said, "Although you have been my disciple for some time, I have not taught you anything. Today, I will teach you the Void Talisman Condensation Technique."
Void Talisman Condensation Technique was a Mystical Ability of ancient cultivators when the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth was still very rich.
At that time, Fu-lu could be directly condensed with the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. Now that the Spirit Qi was thin, they could only use spiritual liquid to write it in advance and use it in battle.
Fu Daozi was the only exception.
He had been in seclusion for several years. When he broke through to the next realm, he also comprehended the Dao of Void Talisman Condensation Technique. Moreover, he could use it in a space where the Spirit Qi was thin. This made his strength comparable to the experienced seventh realm like Ao Feng even though he had just broken through.
However, Li Mu tried to condense a talisman in the void according to the method taught by Fu Daozi, but he did not succeed.
He tried several times in a row but it was still the same.
Fu Daozi was puzzled and muttered, "That's impossible. I'm not surprised that Xuan Jizi and the others can't learn it. You are so smart, why can't you condense a Fu-lu?"
Li Mu tried a few more times and shook his head. "Perhaps, I haven't fully comprehended the Fu-lu Dao."
In terms of knowledge, no one in the cultivation world could compare to Li Mu. He knew how to write talismans, refine pills, refine weapons, array formations, cultivate the body, the Demon Dao, the Ghost Dao, the Demon Dao, the Dao of Dual Cultivation … He could be said to be a walking encyclopedia in the cultivation world.
However, except for the Dao of Dual Cultivation, he could not be said to be proficient in other aspects.
He knew much more about the Fu-lu Dao than Fu Daozi, but Fu Daozi had been immersed in the Fu-lu Dao for 100 years in his life. He had his own understanding of the Fu-lu Dao, which was something that Li Mu could not obtain no matter how many Heavenly Books he read.
Just like how Xiao Yu was the only one who could use the ability to curse the heavens, Li Mu, who had established his heart for the heavens and the earth, could directly control the power of the heavens and the earth. Similarly, the ability to condense talismans out of thin air was a unique ability of Talisman Daozi.
From a certain point of view, this was a reward after being recognized by the heavens and the earth.
Even though Li Mu had more than 10 Heavenly Books, he did not fully understand the operation of the heavens and the earth.
For example, this kind of tailor-made magic power, the principle of the Sky Stealing Array, the refining method of the Sun Shooting Bow, and the door of the Heavenly Book were all mysteries to him.
Since he could not learn it, Li Mu did not force it. Taking advantage of the fact that Ao Feng had not returned, he preached to the disciples of White Cloud Peak.
Halfway through Li Mu's speech, five black dragons flew over from the distant sky. The disciples of White Cloud Mountain were already used to this. They all knew that the Black Dragon Clan lived in White Cloud Mountain and seemed to have been subdued by the elders. During this period of time, they got along well with the disciples of White Cloud Mountain and had never had any conflicts.
Remembering Ao Feng's surprise, Li Mu ended his preaching and went to a mountain at the back of the mountain.
This was the place that Xuan Jizi had set aside for the Black Dragon Clan. Ao Feng and a few other dragons stood in front of a hall. Li Mu walked over and asked, "What's the surprise you were talking about?"
Ao Feng pointed at a hall in front of him and gave Li Mu an extremely mysterious smile, saying, "You will know when you go in."
He actually made it so mysterious. This greatly piqued Li Mu's curiosity. He impatiently released his divine sense to scan the area, but it was blocked outside the hall. Clearly, this hall was sealed by Ao Feng with a formation.
This made the surprise they wanted to give Li Mu even more mysterious.
Li Mu did not say much. He walked to the front of the hall and pushed the door open. He was thinking about a pile of dazzling spiritual jades, but he only saw one person in the hall.
No, it was a dragon.
Li Mu looked at Cheng Xin and said in surprise, "Cheng Xin, what are you doing here?"
When she was taken away by the Black Dragon Clan's great elder and released from his cave, she was already in this hall. Cheng Xin did not know where she was and what she would face next. She was worried and scared, and her mood was extremely low.
Hearing this familiar voice, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Mu. After being stunned for a moment, she immediately said in surprise, "Lord Li, you came to save me!"
Li Mu was even more stunned. "What save you? What happened to you?"
Cheng Xin looked at Li Mu, and the endless grievances in her heart these past few days welled up. She flew into Li Mu's arms and cried, "Wuu, wuu, they said they were going to give me to a human. I thought I would never see you again …"
Li Mu looked at Cheng Xin in a daze. In the next moment, he understood what the surprise Ao Feng was talking about was.
Li Mu's face darkened. He said in a low voice, "Ao Feng, come in!"
There was no movement outside. His voice was blocked inside the hall. Ao Feng was actually considerate enough to soundproof this place.
Li Mu slapped out a palm and the array shattered. He said, "Ao Feng, come in!"
As his voice rang out, Ao Feng immediately walked in. He smiled and asked, "Lord Li, how is it? Are you satisfied with this gift? This is the most beautiful dragon girl in the South Sea …"
Although Cheng Xin was beautiful, Li Mu wanted spiritual jades, not dragon girls.
Li Mu glared at Ao Feng and asked, "Who do you think I am? A lecher?"
This was not something obvious, but Ao Feng naturally did not dare to say so. He looked at Li Mu nervously and asked, "Is Lord Li not satisfied? Do you want me to get another one from the South Sea?"
