"Soul Ice Jade" Demon Soul was overjoyed and said, "This treasure is indeed very useful to me. With this treasure help, this residual soul of me can recover my vitality faster."

Under the guidance of the demon soul, Xiaobai immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the soul-abundling ice jade into his belly.

"I'm intent," said the demon soul gratefully. He had not mentioned this before. Unexpectedly, Li Muran took the initiative to find such treasures that nourish the soul for him.

"I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Besides, my senior has repeatedly given me some advice before, so I should have made some statements." Li Muran said with a smile.

Half a month later, Li Muran finally finished refining the alchemy, but he did not refine the Nine-turn Spirit Pill, but a Three-turn Spirit Pill.

It is rumored that the Nine-Turning Spirit Pill can transform disasters and prevent disasters, but the so-called Three-Turning Spirit Pill can only withstand three disasters, and the effect is much worse.

However, Li Muran was already very satisfied. After all, if he wanted to refine the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill, he still needed to collect several almost extinct treasures. It was rare for him to refine a three-Turn Spirit Pill with limited materials.

Li Muran left and refined this pill into his body. It took several days to gradually integrate into his true essence and body, and then he could exert the magical effect of blocking disasters and transforming disasters at critical moments.

Not long after, the King of Chu announced in public that both the princes, Chu Qi and Chu Li, would participate in the imperial tomb trip, and selected the guards with them. Li Muran also officially joined the Chu Palace at this time and became one of the left and right guardians around the "Young Master Li", and the other guardian was the burly old man Gao Wei.

Li Muran nodded secretly to this. He knew that the Chu Palace had won many golden-body guardians, and a few of them were still above Gao Wei; but Mu Li chose to let Gao Wei be his right and left guardian, because he was attracted by Gao Wei's loyalty to him and had no intention of being.

"In that forbidden area of ​​the imperial tomb, dozens of sons were intriguing and fighting fiercely. A heartfelt man is indeed more reliable than a slightly higher-powered guardian. Besides, Junior Brother Mu himself is also strong and does not particularly need a guardian master." Li Muran said in his heart: "The reason why Junior Brother Mu chose me is mostly not because of my strength, but because I am his old friend, his power, not the power of his brother, Young Master Qi."

Li Muran worked diligently to prepare for his journey to the imperial tomb soon.

Originally, he thought that such busy and fulfilling days would continue peacefully until the journey to the imperial tomb began. Who knew that in just a few days, there would be trouble coming to the door.

The person who came was a senior golden body guardian of the King of Chu Mansion, named Xu Xing, who was said to have served in the King of Chu Mansion for more than 200 years.

Xu Xing openly questioned Li Muran's identity as a left and right guardian, and said in front of Mu Li: "Young Master Li, in terms of qualifications, it is reasonable for fellow Gao Wei to be selected as a left and right guardian by Young Master Li. However, this fellow Zhao has just joined the royal palace for several months, and his cultivation is only in the middle stage of Dharma appearance. Whether it is cultivation qualifications, it is far less than a group of senior guardians such as subordinates. However, Young Master Li chose him as a left and right guardian. Such a nepotism is a must-have, I am afraid that my subordinates and others will be disappointed."

Mu Li's face darkened and he said, "What should I do with my own sense of responsibility? Do you still need advice from the guardian?"

According to common sense, although Mu Li and Xu Xing have the same cultivation level, their identities are different from master and servant. After Mu Li shouted, Xu Xing should have retreated with tact, but Xu Xing seemed not afraid of offending Mu Li at all. He continued: "I dare not be the only one who dares to do this, but Young Master Li is really unfair. We are the senior guardian of the late Dharma Priest who worked hard for the royal palace for many years, but have not received the recognition we deserve. Even if this matter is heard by the King of Chu, my subordinates are dissatisfied."

Mu Li snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with anger.

He knew very well that even if he gave Xu Xingtian the courage, he would not dare to contradict him, the young master of the Chu Prince's Mansion, inexplicably. There must be someone behind the scenes to support and guide him.

There is no doubt that this person is his brother, Young Master Qi.

This made Mu Li very troubled. If Xu Xing was punished, he would indeed be honest. He said that Young Master Li, who did not trust the senior guardian of the royal palace, would make him lose people's hearts. If this matter was spread to the King of Chu, it would be even more unfavorable to him. After all, as the lord of the royal palace, the King of Chu would also take care of the ideas of these senior guardians in order to win over the hearts of the people.

If you really give in and remove "Senior Brother Zhao" and replace it with other guardians, it will also damage Mu Li's majesty, and substitution in the last battle will be even more unfavorable to the journey to the imperial tomb. Mu Li will never accept this.

Mu Li frowned and glanced at Li Muran, with a look of help in his eyes.

Li Muran chuckled, and after hearing Xu Xing's words, he guessed the other party's intention.

Xu Xing appeared to be aimed at Li Muran, but in fact he was just using Li Muran to attack Mu Li. How could Li Muran be willing to be used by him?

Li Muran coughed lightly and said with a smile: "It turns out that Fellow Daoist Xu is dissatisfied with the fact that he has shallow qualifications and low cultivation, and is not worthy of being the right and left guardian."

"So what?" Xu Xing sneered. He still needed to be respectful when facing Mu Li, but when facing Li Muran, he could be arrogant and unrestrained, and even more disdainful.

"However, Fellow Daoist Xu is qualified to be a guardian of the Dharma?" Li Muran said lightly.

"At least, Xu is a late-stage monk in the Dharma Priesthood and a senior guardian who has served for many years. Of course, he is more qualified than Fellow Daoist Zhao," Xu Xing said with a sneer.

"If Fellow Daoist Xu is the guardian of the left and right, but someone else is dissatisfied with this, what would Fellow Daoist Xu do?" Li Muran asked again.

Xu Xing was stunned and then smiled and said, "Haha, this is not simple. Who is qualified to be the right and left Dharma protector? Just a real battle competition is necessary to distinguish the superiority and inferiority. Fellow Daoist Zhao is only a mid-stage cultivator in Dharma appearance. He may not be very smart. Why can he directly take on the important task of protecting the right Dharma protector?"

"So, Fellow Daoist Xu wants to challenge him?" Li Muran said.

"What's the matter?" Xu Xing said.

"Fortunately, I will accept the challenge from fellow Daoist Xu," Li Muran said seriously.

Mu Li was stunned and then sent a message to Li Muran, "Senior Brother Zhao, are you sure? This person's cultivation is a little higher than you, and his strength is indeed great, not inferior to Gao Wei."

Li Muran replied in a voice transmission: "It's okay, I have my own sense of responsibility."

Mu Li nodded and said, "Okay, since the Protector Xu insists on the challenge, and Protector Zhao accepts the challenge, this young master will allow you to compete with each other, but you should pay attention to it during the competition and don't hurt the harmony."

"Yes, Young Master Li" Li Muran replied respectfully.

Xu Xing sneered and said, "Xu will be careful and try not to hurt fellow Taoist Zhao by chance."

"This hall is not suitable for fighting, so you should go to the practice room." A guardian onlooker suggested.

Xu Xing gathered many guardians to question Li Muran's qualifications for guardians, so the onlookers were not.

"No need," Li Muran said lightly: "It's just a trick or two, why bother so much

Xu Xing was stunned, then laughed and said, "What he said is that if Xu cannot win in the three moves, wouldn't he be in vain to practice to the late stage of the Dharma image?"

The two walked to the center of the hall and faced each other more than twenty meters apart.

The other monks watching had retreated to a corner of the hall to free up an area of ​​about a hundred feet in size for them.

Mu Li sat far away on the high hall master's seat, watching this scene with concern.

If Li Muran wins, it's best; if Li Muran loses, it's very troublesome. However, he has made up his mind and cannot let Xu Xing be his own guardian, as it would be a trap for him.

Mu Li couldn't help but look at Li Muran a few more times, but he looked calm when he saw him.

"Senior Brother Zhao has always been calm and cautious. Since he dares to accept the challenge, he must be sure of it." Mu Li said in his heart: "Besides, he has made a lot of high-level talismans. If he loses, he can inspire these talismans, which is enough to reverse the situation. It's not easy to refine these talismans, and it is a pity to use them at this time."

Thinking of this, Mu Li couldn't help but hate Xu Xing to the core. He secretly thought in his heart that after this matter, he must try to get rid of this person.

"Please" Li Muran bowed.

Xu Xing replied casually, and he didn't even bother to say more about the word "please".

Xu Xing was so arrogant, it seemed to intentionally anger Li Muran and make him confused.

But Li Muran was silent at all. After he finished the gift, he immediately took action.

Li Muran opened his mouth and squirted, and a green rainbow flashed, turning into a scimitar and sucked into his hand. It was the magic weapon of the soul-chasing sword.

The "Sixth-level Magic Weapon" There are many sharp-eyed monks watching the cultivators, and they immediately recognized the extraordinary quality of this treasure.

Xu Xing was secretly shocked. How could he have thought that this inconspicuous mid-stage monk could actually sacrifice such a quality natal magic weapon.

Even a senior elder like him in the late stage of the Dharma image usually only has the fourth and fifth levels of magic weapons.

However, he also saw at a glance that Li Muran's sword was not an ice-cold attribute, but his fifth-level ice ring was an ice-cold magic weapon. In the extremely cold environment of the Beihan Kingdom, the power of the ice-attributed martial arts increased a lot out of thin air. A fifth-level ice-attributed magic weapon may not be under a sixth-level treasure sword that is not an ice-cold attributed attribute.

This made Xu Xing feel relieved and he underestimated Li Muran even more.

"Hmph, it turns out that I am not a cultivator of Binghan's martial arts. Even if you have a good magic weapon in your hand, why are you afraid?" Xu Xing said intimately.

Xu Xing was urging his true energy to rush, and the ice ring he sacrificed instantly turned into several feet in a huge moment, and roared at Li Muran.

Wherever the ice ring passes, layers of ice condense immediately. If it is covered by this ice ring, it is afraid that it will be frozen into ice immediately.
