Old Wang was in the duty room. He took out a book from the bookshelf and threw it to Li Mu, asking, "How many spirits have you refined?"
Li Mu memorized the formula for extracting zombie spirit and said, "I've reached the fourth spirit."
Old Wang shook his head and said, "With the cultivation of the fourth spirit, you can deal with white and black zombies, but it's too difficult to deal with jumping zombies. You should be careful. It's best to let Miss Qing help you extract the spirit. She just came to ask me how to extract zombie spirit..."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Boss came here?"
Old Wang clicked his tongue and said, "Miss Qing is really good to you. She doesn't necessarily only treat you as a subordinate. Young man, you have to seize the opportunity..."
Someone cared more about him than he did. This made Li Mu's heart surge with warmth.
Li Mu came to the duty room. Li Qing was reading the "Records of Monsters in the Ten Continents". She turned to the page about the habits of zombies.
Seeing Li Mu come in, she raised her head and said, "I've checked. There will be a large amount of spirit left in zombies. In two days, we will go to Zhou County. I will help you extract some then. This way, you can condense the fourth spirit as soon as possible."
Li Mu walked forward and suddenly asked, "Boss, why are you so good to me?"
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently, "You are my subordinate. I naturally have to be responsible for your life."
Li Mu asked, "Just because of this?"
Li Qing looked at him and asked, "Otherwise?"
If it were someone else, Li Mu might think that they coveted his Pure Yang body and wanted to dual cultivate with him, but Li Qing had always said what she wanted.
This zombie incident was completely different from the last time in Zhang Village. There were countless jumping zombies, and even Flying Stiff. Even if a Transcendent realm cultivator was involved, they would not be able to escape unscathed.
Li Qing was only at the Spirit Condensation realm. She had to take a great risk to help him collect spirit.
Li Mu couldn't watch her take risks for him with a clear conscience.
He thought for a moment and said, "Boss, come with me. I have something important to tell you."
Li Qing asked, "Can't we talk about it in the guardhouse?"
Li Mu shook his head. "This is not the place to talk."
He turned around and walked out of the room. Li Qing thought for a moment, put down the book in her hand, and followed him out.
After walking out of the duty room, Li Mu walked straight out of the county government office. Li Qing looked a little confused, but she still followed Li Mu.
Wu Bo stood at the door of the other room and looked at the backs of the two men as they left. A trace of gloominess flashed across his chubby face.
Li Mu walked out of the county government and then out of the county. Using the Light Body Technique, he came to a deserted forest.
Li Qing landed beside him, and the expression on her face became serious. She asked, "What happened? Do you need to talk about it here?"
Li Mu looked back at her. His hands formed the Six Ding Jade Maiden Seal, and his mouth whispered.
"Lin!"
A white thunderbolt appeared out of thin air and fell on a huge tree in front of them. The huge tree was directly split into pieces. Thunder and fire swirled in the air, and the debris splashed in all directions.
"Thunder Method …"
Li Qing's pretty face showed an incredulous expression. The next moment, she seemed to realize something and said in shock, "No, this is Taoist magic!"
Li Mu's life principle was to take revenge and repay kindness.
The kindness of saving his life, the kindness of teaching him, the kindness of giving him treasures, and the kindness of taking care of Li Mu in daily life. None of these could be repaid with a "Tranquil Heart Technique".
If Li Qing was willing, even if Li Mu wanted to repay her with his Pure Yang Body, it was not impossible for him to consider it.
Actually, Li Mu had long wanted to impart this Thunder Method to Li Qing.
However, he had never thought of a good reason. He could not always say that he obtained it by accident. Otherwise, everyone would be suspicious.
This time, he had to quell the zombie disaster and collect Courage for himself. It was abnormally dangerous and his life could be in danger at any moment. Li Mu did not have the luxury of time to think.
He looked at Li Qing who was rooted to the spot and said, "Boss, the Six Ding Jade Maiden Seal and the True Word 'Lin' is this Thunder Method Dao Technique. You have to familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. Even if you meet with the Flying Stiff, you'll be able to counter it."
With his Soul Refining realm cultivation, Li Mu could use this True Word to instantly kill Third Realm Daemon cultivators and ghosts.
Although the Fourth Realm was already fundamentally different from the Third Realm, Li Qing's Dharmic powers were much thicker than Li Mu's. With the help of this Dao Technique, it was not difficult for her to kill enemies one level above her.
Although the Flying Stiff was neither a Daemon nor a ghost, it was still an evil being and was countered by Thunder Method. If Li Qing encountered it, even if she could not kill it, she could still protect herself.
Li Qing looked into Li Mu's eyes and finally understood why he had brought her here.
The power of Thunder Method was immense. Among all the Dharmic Methods, it was also one of the best.
Thunder Method Dao Techniques were extremely rare.
The rarity of a Thunder Method Dao Technique that only had one True Word was evident.
For Dao Techniques and Abhijnas, the shorter the True Word the better. The shorter the True Word, the faster the Dharmic Method Technique could be cast. This played a crucial role in battle.
Li Mu looked at her and said, "Boss, you try it first."
Li Qing did not say anything else. She shifted her gaze and formed the Six Ding Jade Maiden Seal with her hands. She said silently, "Lin!"
Another bolt of lightning appeared in front of them, blasting a charred hole in the ground.
Unlike Li Mu's white lightning, the lightning that Li Qing released was purple.
When he was possessed by Su He the previous two times, Li Mu also summoned purple lightning. Without a doubt, the power of the purple lightning was greater than that of the white lightning.
Li Qing chanted the "Lin" word silently again. Dozens of white lightning bolts appeared in the sky, razing a small hill with a radius of around ten feet to the ground.
It was very obvious that the purple lightning was more powerful and consumed more Dharmic powers. Compared to the purple lightning, the white lightning required less Dharmic powers and could cause an area of effect attack.
Li Qing took a deep breath and said, "I will practice this Dao Technique more."
Li Mu had already thought of an excuse, but he did not expect that Li Qing did not even ask him.
He was stunned for a moment. Looking at Li Qing, he asked, "Boss, why don't you ask me where this Dao Technique came from?"
Li Qing said calmly, "Everyone has their own secrets. You have your own opportunities and secrets. Why do I need to get to the bottom of everything?"
Her temperament was indeed indifferent. Liu Hanyan was different. Her curiosity was heavier than a cat's. She wanted to get to the bottom of everything. Whenever Li Mu returned late, she would beat around the bush to find out where Li Mu went.
In other words, this was also a display of Li Qing's trust in him.
Li Qing did not ask him, and Li Mu did not need to explain. The two of them looked at each other and did not say anything.
When they returned to the county, it was already noon. Li Mu knew that Li Qing usually ate alone. She liked to eat noodles and often visited a roadside noodle stall. The noodle stall was opened by a widowed woman. Li Mu and Zhang Shan had eaten there a few times. The taste was really good.
"Boss, do you want to eat at my house?" There was Wanwan at home. Li Mu had to go home to cook. When the two of them were about to leave, he asked politely.
Li Qing stopped in her tracks. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Mu was slightly stunned. He did not expect her to really agree.
She had always been a loner. Han Zhe and Wu Bo had invited her to eat with them many times, but she had directly rejected them.
Li Mu was also stunned for a moment. He nodded and said, "Boss, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Li Qing: "Whatever."
When other women said "whatever", there might be countless interpretations. If Li Qing said "whatever", then it was really "whatever".
Li Mu thought for a moment. Considering Li Qing's preferences, he still made his best Yangchun noodles. Wanwan also liked to eat it very much. She could eat at least three bowls every time. If she ate more than usual, five bowls would not be a problem.
At a noodle stall on Weiyang Street.
Zhang Shan slurped a mouthful of noodles and almost scalded his mouth. He quickly took a few breaths and inadvertently looked at the street in front of him. He said, "Isn't that the boss? Li Mu is also here …"
Li Si slowly ate his noodles. When he raised his head and saw Li Qing walk into Li Mu's house, his hand movements also paused.
Zhang Shan put down his chopsticks and said in surprise, "The boss and Li Mu went home. Why did they even close the door?"
Li Si glanced at him and said, "Don't make a fuss. Eat your food …"
Somewhere on the street, a very fat figure sat by the window on the second floor of a restaurant. He looked at the two figures walking on the street below. His eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
After returning home, Li Mu took Li Qing to the study and said, "Boss, take a seat first. I'll go and cook."
After Li Mu left, Li Qing did not sit down. She stopped in front of a row of bookshelves. There were not many books on this bookshelf. Most of them were basic books on Taoism cultivation, as well as some miscellaneous books, such as "Records of Supernatural Beings" and "Records of Monsters in the Ten Continents".
There was a stack of papers on the desk, and the words "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" were at the top of the page.
This "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" had been popular in Yangqiu County for a month. Li Qing had heard of it, but she did not read these books usually. She only knew that this book was selling well in the bookstore, but she did not know the specific content.
This was obviously a manuscript that had not been published yet. Li Qing walked to the table and saw a lot of such manuscripts stacked at the corner of the table.
In addition, she also saw a golden hairpin on the table.
This golden hairpin was extremely exquisite. The hairpin head was a lifelike phoenix. Obviously, it was a woman's item.
Footsteps came from outside the study, followed by a woman's pleasant voice.
"Have you finished the fifth volume of 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio'? I seem to have left the hairpin here yesterday. Help me find it …"
