Chapter 35 The City of Tombs
"What happened? Why does the disciples of the four sects seem to be discussing a big thing?" Li Muran asked in confusion.
"Senior Brother Zhao just came back, don't know. I'm back a few days earlier than you, and I happened to catch up!" Mu Li said, briefly explaining the whole story.
It turned out that just a few days ago, when several disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect were carrying out the mission of Duan Fanchen, they searched for the monsters mentioned by the village name, and accidentally broke into a very secretive huge ancient tomb. These disciples were in danger, and only two escaped and immediately returned to the sect to inform them of the matter.
The Sword Spirit Sect attached great importance to this matter and sent additional personnel to investigate, but for some reason, the matter was discovered by the Yuanfu Sect and other three sects, and they also sent people to investigate. After discussing the matter, the big men in charge of the four sects finally decided that the four sects would join forces to investigate the "catacomb City", which was set in two months.
"Two months later, so hurry?" Li Muran was slightly shocked. Generally speaking, such major issues that alarmed the entire sect would have to be considered repeatedly for a long time and made many detailed arrangements before they could be finally implemented. Now the four sects are so urgent. It seems that the four sects are very interested in the secrets and treasures in the Catacomb City.
Mu Li said: "Yes, the four sects will send people to jointly guard the entrance and exit in the past two months. In two months, we will let the disciples go for an adventure. Now almost all the disciples are preparing for this matter."
"It is said that the Catacomb City has a huge range and is difficult to verify. Because it has been sealed for many years, there are probably many treasures that have not been born, and there may even be precious spiritual medicines of extremely high ages. Tsk tsk, if you can find a spiritual medicine, you will be able to rest assured to practice this life!"
Li Muran suddenly realized: "No wonder the magic weapons and finished talismans in the market have sold very well. This is the most convenient way to quickly improve one's own strength."
On the contrary, although you can slowly improve your cultivation through meditation through pill meditation, it is only two months, so it is difficult to achieve significant results.
"Master summoned us this time, probably for this matter." Qingfengzi said with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhao, are you interested in that catacomb city?"
"Of course I want to open my eyes." Li Muran said, "I'm afraid that I don't have enough qualifications and the sect will not let me wait."
After Li Muran said this, the other young disciples couldn't help but feel a little worried. They often heard that in addition to diligence in cultivating immortals, opportunities are also very important; if you miss such good opportunities, it would be extremely regrettable.
While the few people were talking, they had already arrived at the Zixia Temple Hall, each standing in two rows, waiting for the Master Zixia Taoist to come.
Half an hour later, with a light cough, Taoist Zixia walked out of the inner hall, walked into the hall, and sat directly on the main seat.
Li Muran and his disciples, led by Qingfengzi, gave a tidy worship. Taoist Zixia nodded with a smile, then waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.
"Well, you all practice well, you are not lazy!" Taoist Zixia smiled, twisted her long beard with her hands, and then swept her eyes over the disciples, and nodded slightly to show her praise.
Seeing the Master's expression relaxed and happy, the disciples felt relieved and were secretly happy.
When Taoist Zixia saw Li Muran, she couldn't help but pause, and her face changed slightly.
"Wu Ming, you have already practiced to the middle stage of Qi and Vein!" Taoist Zixia said in surprise, then laughed: "Haha, I have long seen that you have good qualifications. If the other Taoist priests knew about this, they would inevitably be laughed at and missed the investigation, so that the master would pick up a genius for nothing."
"It's all thanks to the master's cultivation and the guidance of all senior brothers." Li Muran bowed and bowed, humbly.
Taoist Zixia nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's great, don't be arrogant or impatient, keep working hard, the future is limitless!"
"Yes, thank you Master!" Li Muran replied.
"You are all very good," Taoist Zixia said to the disciples: "From your cultivation level, you are not lazy on weekdays, and you are all people who can practice diligently and hard; but cultivating immortals is to act against the heavens and fight for fate with the heavens! In addition to being diligent, opportunities are also very important!"
Speaking of this, Taoist Zixia paused, and the disciples were shocked, knowing that the master was about to explain the main topic.
"What is the so-called thing about my master asking you to come this time? I guess you have guessed some of it." Taoist Zixia continued, "Yes, the rumors about the Catacomb City are indeed true. Moreover, the master and other Taoist priests of this sect have also discussed it and decided to lead a group of disciples to go patrol. Haha, it is said that it is a patrol, but it is actually a treasure hunt."
Hearing the Master's tone so relaxed, the disciples were even happier, and they all looked excited with excitement.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Zixia smiled slightly and said loudly: "According to the decisions of the four sects, each sect can send ten elders of the Shenyou period to take one hundred disciples of the Qi and Mai period to search for treasures. The treasures found are held by each of the four sects. The specific exchange and sale in the future is not something you can contact!"
"There is a good news that Weishi is also one of the elders of Shenyouqi who went to the Catacomb City by our sect. Weishi plans to take some disciples to go. I wonder who is willing to go with Weishi while you are waiting?"
"Disciple is willing to go!" As soon as Taoist Zixia finished speaking, the disciples agreed in unison without any hesitation.
Li Muran was still a little hesitant, but when he heard that a master like his master would go together, the danger would be greatly reduced. Even though there are still certain risks, how far can a person who dare not bear the risk in the world of immortal cultivation?
"Very good!" Taoist Zixia nodded happily and said, "I don't have many disciples to take, so I won't choose any more. Since you are willing, go all together!"
"Yes, thank you Master!" The disciples agreed loudly, each showing joy.
"But there is a rule that you should explain in advance," Taoist Zixia said with a serious expression: "When you go to the Catacomb City this time, the treasures you find must be handed over to the sect regardless of their high or low. After the sect confiscates the treasure, it will reward 10% of the value of the treasure to the disciples who are looking for the treasure in the form of a spirit stone. Don't underestimate this amount. Although it is only one tenth, if you can find one or two precious spiritual medicines, it will be enough to get a high reward, so that you can wait for your cultivation without worries!"
The disciples felt a little disappointed, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces. If there was a 10% reward, it would be better than that.
"If there is nothing else, just wait and be prepared." Taoist Zixia said: "Two months are not long or short. Now prepare some methods carefully and will come in handy in the future!"
"Yes, Master!" The disciples took the order and said retreat.
There are few disciples in Zixia Temple and enough quotas, so each disciple can simply go there; as for other Taoist temples, there are at least twenty or thirty disciples, and at most six or seventy, so the quotas are very short. In order to get the opportunity to go to the Catacomb City to find treasures, these disciples had to start some competitions and competitions. The master chose to know the opportunity to follow the master to the Catacomb City.
The news that all the disciples of Zixia Temple could go to the Catacomb City was spread among the disciples of Yuanfu Sect, which attracted a lot of envy. The group of disciples of Mu Li and Li Muran who once laughed at the disciples of the same class were still inexperienced and it was difficult to have the opportunity to stand out in their respective sects. So the two people who directly obtained the quota became the target of envy for everyone. The so-called good fortune and misfortune were hard to predict, which is roughly what happened.
"How should I prepare for two months?" Li Muran returned to his house and thought carefully.
He had just advanced to the middle stage of Qi and Zhi, and it was a good time to practice. He should refine the vital energy of heaven and earth as soon as possible to make his magic power more abundant and profound. However, the key to his practice is to persevere day after day. In just two months, even if there are a large number of magical medicines to help him, his cultivation will only be gradually improved and there will be no earth-shaking changes.
In two months, judging from the choices of other disciples, they were either magic weapons, talismans, or practiced and familiar with certain magic.
Magical weapons are not Li Muran's first choice - he heard that magical weapons are expensive treasures that only disciples in the late stage of Qi and Meridians dare to use. Magical weapons are slightly better and the prices are outrageously high. Although low-quality magical weapons are cheap, they are not very useful. They also take a lot of time to familiarize themselves with them, which is not as good as his old profession - talismans.
Li Muran decided to prepare a batch of talismans for this purpose - not only him, but most of the disciples of the Yuanfu Sect plan so. After all, talismans are easy to use and good at attack and defense. When encountering danger, using talismans is a convenient and effective means of coping.
"In the middle stage of Qi and Vein, it's time to try to practice a few more advanced first- and middle-level spells." Li Muran said in his heart.
In terms of qualifications and speed of practicing magic, Li Muran during the day can only be considered very ordinary and even a bit clumsy; but once it reaches night, everything is very different. Li Muran at night has extremely fast magic power, abundant magic power, and the circulation and mobilization are also particularly smooth. Practicing magic is like a natural result. "A thousand miles a night", Li Muran is confident that he can master several new magic within two months.
Moreover, with the help of the mysterious bronze mirror, as long as Li Muran can cast spells, he can create corresponding spells and talismans. Anyway, as long as the talisman paper is shined by the light of the mirror, the drawing of the text will be smooth, and will not be affected by various invisible obstacles at all.
"If you just deal with ordinary threats, it is probably enough to have these talismans in your hands. But if you encounter unimaginable huge dangers, a few talismans will be fine!"
When Li Muran thought of this, he naturally recalled the tortoise shell-like magic weapon that the monk in Daming Temple stole and practiced not long ago. At that time, this person used only this magic weapon to dissolve the famous flying shuttle, ranked third in the hidden weapon list, which left a very deep impression on Li Muran.
"If you have the chance, go to the market. If you can buy a defensive magic weapon like that, it would be the best!"
