"It is said that a long time ago, people in a country particularly liked dragons."

"They think that dragons are gods and worship dragons extremely. These people have written a large number of chapters that praise dragons, carved the dragon patterns on the pillars of doors and windows, and even established ancestral temples to worship dragons."

"After knowing this, the True Dragon in the sky was very happy, so he went down to the mortal world and became friends with these people. Sure enough, this True Dragon found a confidant in the human world and had a very harmonious speculation. The True Dragon felt that it was the right choice for him to descend to earth."

"But, just decades later, the friends of the True Dragon - those mortals - passed away one after another. Every time they lost a friend, the True Dragon would be heartbroken. When all its friends left, the True Dragon felt that his heart was dead and his thoughts were gone."

"Luckily, the True Dragon met a new human friend, but decades later, his new friends left him one after another."

"The real dragon, who has experienced sad times and time, finally realized that humans only have decades of life, and the dragon clan can live for thousands of years. The huge difference between them determines their tragedy."

"The True Dragon finally understood that being a confidant with mortals is short-lived, but sadness is accompanied by a lifetime. The True Dragon who finally figured it out has returned to heaven. Even if those mortals worship him again, he will not look at the mortals again."

After Li Muran finished telling this story, he paused and continued:

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Although I am just a low-level immortal cultivator, I am dedicated to the Tao and will not be tied up for many lives due to secular emotions. I hope you can understand!"

The three members of the Guo family remained silent, and they understood Li Muran's feelings.

"I'm leaving. I've been here. Please don't mention it to others." Li Muran took out the talisman paper crane and prepared to leave.

"Brother Wuming, wait!" Yan Wu suddenly said, "I still have some of your past things here. Do you want to take them away..."

"No need," Li Muran shook his head and said, "The past has gone like the wind, why should we still care about these old things?"

Li Muran stretched out his finger and shot a magic power on the talisman paper crane. Then he rode away on the crane. In a moment, it turned into a black dot and disappeared from the sight of the three members of the Guo family.

On the talisman crane, Li Muran looked down at the medicinal countryside dotted among the green mountains and green waters, and sighed leisurely: "Zhao Wuming's secular world relationships are all here, so let's just take a break for him. From now on, Zhao Wuming is Li Muran, and Li Muran is Zhao Wuming, a cultivator who does not regret finding the fate of immortals."

...

After Li Muran flew to the vicinity of the market, he put away the talisman paper crane and changed to walking.

It’s not that he is reluctant to spend the energy talisman to replenish the vitality of the talisman paper crane, but that he is afraid that it will be too high-profile and attract attention.

Although Li Muran is already a disciple of the middle stage of Qi Mai, there are still very few disciples of the middle stage of Qi Mai who can have a talisman paper crane. If he flew to the market so swagger, he would definitely be targeted by the thief cultivators lurking in the market and become their target of action.

As soon as Li Muran entered the market, he felt a little strange.

Li Muran calculated the day and said in confusion: "Today is not the days at the end of the month, how could so many disciples come to the market?"

Today, the market is particularly popular with many shops in front of them, and there are even long queues in front of some shops. Li Muran has never seen this scene before.

"Is it because the stores have reduced prices and discounts at the same time, so they have attracted so many disciples?" Li Muran guessed, and then went to a elixir shop to buy some Juyuan pills, and asked the shopkeeper for some inquiries:

"It's strange. There are many people who buy elixirs in normal times, but today there is no increase. Those shops selling magic weapons and talismans have excellent business. What's going on? Is the price of magic weapons and talismans a big drop?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Those magical instruments and talismans have not been reduced, but the prices are even 10% or 20% higher than usual!"

"Then why are there so many disciples rushing to buy?" Li Muran became even more confused.

The shopkeeper said, "This little brother has just come back from a long journey? In the past few days, the disciples of the four sects of Kuanglu have received a huge news, as if the disciples of the four sects are going to unite to perform a mission. In the past few days when the news has been heard, the market is so lively every day. Unfortunately, the pills that cannot quickly improve their strength will not be paid attention to."

"This is actually happening!" Li Muran was shocked. He had never missed such a major event after he had just left the sect for more than ten days.

Li Muran bought a batch of talisman paper in the market, and then hurried back to the sect to inquire about the situation.

As soon as he entered Zixia Peak, the first person Li Muran met was not the brother of Zixia Temple, but the brother Mo of Chixia Temple, who was the one who took over the library.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you are back!" When Senior Brother Mo saw Li Mu, he was very enthusiastic and stepped forward to greet him.

He glanced at Li Muran and suddenly realized that his aura was extraordinary. He was stunned again: "Junior Brother Zhao, are you already a mid-stage cultivator in Qi and meridians?!"

Senior Brother Mo was very surprised by Li Muran's cultivation. Li Muran just smiled faintly and nodded, not saying anything more. His cultivation is already like this, and there is nothing to hide. Although there are few disciples who have advanced to the middle stage after practicing for more than a year, they are not unprecedented.

"Senior Brother Mo is waiting for me?" Li Muran asked curiously: "I wonder what is Senior Brother Mo's advice?"

Senior Brother Mo smiled and said, "I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Senior Brother came to find Junior Brother Zhao this time. There is indeed one thing, and it is a great thing!"

"A great thing? Brother Mo please tell me!" Li Muran smiled slightly and glanced at the other party with a profound meaning.

Senior Brother Mo said with a bit of mystery and joy: "To be honest, Senior Brother, I found a precious spiritual medicine, but unfortunately there was a guardian monster waiting by my side, so that Senior Brother, I cannot get the spiritual medicine smoothly..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Li Muran said with a smile: "So my senior brother wants to invite me to deal with the guardian monster together?"

Senior Brother Mo was stunned and said, "Haha, Junior Brother Zhao is really smart, that's it!"

Li Muran looked at the other party, but did not express his opinion.

"Why, is Junior Brother Zhao not interested?" Senior Brother Mo said with some disappointment. He added: "As long as junior brother comes to help, there is a great chance of success. Once you get that spiritual medicine, you and I can get two or three hundred spiritual stones!"

Two or three hundred spirit stones are undoubtedly a fortune for the middle-stage disciples of Qi and Vein. Even when Li Muran heard this number, his face changed slightly.

Senior Brother Mo was overjoyed and thought he had touched Li Muran.

However, Li Muran said: "I am just curious. In terms of friendship, I am just meeting Senior Brother Mo. In terms of strength and cultivation, it is even more common. Why does Senior Brother Mo invite me to help me?"

"This..." Senior Brother Mo said speechless for a moment, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Although I don't get along much with Junior Brother Zhao, I admire Junior Brother's behavior very much, and I have made friends with you for a long time, so I plan to take this opportunity to be more familiar with Junior Brother Zhao."

This reason was extremely difficult to make up. Li Muran was too lazy to refute and did not want to pay attention to this person anymore. He said, "I am very talented, and I am afraid that I will ruin the good things of Senior Brother Mo! Senior Brother Mo should ask other senior brothers for help, but I blame him for not having this opportunity."

After saying that, he bowed and left straight, regardless of the other party's dissuasion behind him.

After shouting a few times, Li Muran refused to agree, and Senior Brother Mo had to give up and left Zixia Peak in shame.

"Hmph, this kind of trick is too much!" Li Muran shook his head and sneered in his heart when he saw the other party leave.

"Appointment to find treasure" is a method mentioned more in the "Strange Sutra", which allows the stolen practitioners to lead the target to the right place and then deal with the target. This practice can easily arouse doubts about the target, so there must be a reason to make the target difficult to reject and an excuse that seems very natural to conceal your purpose, so that you can succeed.

Otherwise, this trick can only lure new disciples who are not well-informed - and such people are often short of money and are not worthy of being the target of stealing cultivation.

"I don't know what Senior Brother Mo is going to do, but he is not good at all!" Li Muran said in his heart: "If there are senior brothers who agree to go with him, it will be a lot of danger!"

Li Muran quickly walked into the peak. Not long after, several familiar figures appeared in front of him. It was Qingfengzi, Mu Li and other fellow disciples.

"Senior Brother Qingfeng, where are you going?" Li Muran saw these people walking together and walking in a hurry, and knew that they had something to do.

"Ha, Senior Brother Zhao, you are back!" Mu Li answered first. When he saw Li Mu, he said happily: "Master summoned us and said that if you have something to announce, I am going to the main hall to pay homage to Master, so you can go together."

"Master summons me to wait? Of course I have to go!" Li Muran replied without thinking, and then walked towards the seven or eight brothers.

"Hey, Junior Brother Zhao, your cultivation level..." Qing Fengzi was the first to discover Li Muran's aura change, and his expression changed slightly.

After he said this, the other brothers naturally looked at Li Muran more and were surprised.

"Oh, Senior Brother Zhao, you have advanced to the middle stage of Qi and meridians. It's so gratifying!" Mu Li said happily, almost jumping up.

"It seems that Junior Brother Zhao's experience this time has really gained a lot!" Qingfengzi said with a smile: "Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Zhao has only been officially practicing for more than a year and has already advanced to the middle stage of Qi and meridians. He can be called a genius of cultivation. Master must be very happy to see it!"

The other disciples also praised each other, but they also felt a little envious.

Li Muran said humbly: "I am just lucky. I believe that all my brothers will encounter their own opportunities soon."

"Junior Brother Zhao is right!" Qing Fengzi smiled and said, "No, the opportunity has come! Master summoned us to wait, probably for that matter!"
