Master Xuanmu nodded and said, "Yes, opening the Four Sacred Valley is the top priority for our four sects in Kuanglu every ten years. We must be extra careful! From today on, we will take turns to supervise the Kuanglu Mountains, and the major sects will also increase the intensity of their guards by themselves and do not take it lightly!"

"The Four Sacred Valleys are opened?" Li Muran secretly remembered these words. Judging from the expressions of these seniors from the Shenyou period, it seems that the four major sects attach great importance to this matter!

After being brought back to the sect by the old Taoist Chixia, Li Muran was "interrogated" by the elders of the sect and his master Zixia Taoist Zixia. Li Muran still repeated the previous words - as for why the Northern Han envoys suddenly came to the Kuanglu Mountains and why they plundered an inconspicuous middle-stage disciple of the Yuanfu Sect's Qi Zhi, these monks in the Divine Travel Period were troubled to think and guess.

Although the sect stepped up its defenses, it had no intention of rescuing Mu Li at all. A low-level disciple in the middle stage of Qi Zhi was indeed not worthy of a big fight. Although this was expected by Li Muran, he still felt a little sad.

"Master, what do you say about the master?" Although he knew it was meaningless, Li Muran continued to beg his master and others to help him. Everyone knew that he had the best relationship with Mu Li. If he immediately accepted the fact that Mu Li was plundered, it would seem abnormal.

"The senior brother of the sect is in seclusion. He can't see you. You'll die! " Taoist Zixia said coldly.

After seeing Li Muran showing disappointment, Taoist Zixia sighed and said, "Wu Ming, you have lost a junior brother, and you have also lost a disciple. Isn't it hard to give up? But this is how the practice is. People around you will leave one by one, or die, or pursue their own immortal fate! This is how you, Junior Brother Mu. In other words, those Beihan envoys just plundered him and did not kill him immediately, which means that he must have value in use. Perhaps he will get real opportunities after leaving this sect. You should be happy for him if you go further on the road of cultivation!"

"I hope so!" Li Muran nodded and said softly, "He didn't understand what the master said."

Taoist Zixia continued: "I am looking for you this time. In addition to this matter, there is another task. I will tell you one or two in advance."

"What mission?" Li Muran asked casually.

Taoist Zixia did not answer directly, but smiled slightly and said, "Do you remember the mission of the sect you mentioned when you started to become a disciple?"

"Of course I remember!" Li Muran suddenly felt a stern in his heart, "Maybe the task this time is..."

Taoist Zixia nodded and said, "You guessed it right. When you started, you promised to be a master and you will definitely participate in this task. In fact, the master often travels far away and has not accepted many disciples. Now he is walking away and dead, only a few disciples are left. Among these disciples, the master is the most valued and most optimistic about, and you are Wuming!"

"I will tell you the details about this task in detail later! But it is certain that this task has certain risks, and of course, the benefits are also great! Just like when you entered the second floor of the Catacomb City, risks and benefits coexist."

Li Muran nodded and said, "Disciple understands! Since the disciple has already agreed, he should do his best."

"Very good!" Taoist Zixia smiled and said, "I like people like you, and I can understand it at all! There is one thing for a teacher to ask for your opinions, because this matter is related to your practice."

"It is related to the disciple's practice?" Li Muran was stunned.

"Not bad!" Taoist Zixia said seriously: "You have been trapped in the bottleneck at the peak of the mid-stage Qi vein for two or three months. Although you have been looking for a breakthrough method, the difficulty is not small, and the opportunity to break through is hard to come by!"

"The main reason, according to my teacher's speculation, is that you take too many elixirs! After all, elixirs are external skills. The so-called medicine is three parts poisonous. You use the elixir method to improve your cultivation, which is very fast, but over the years, you have accumulated a lot of toxicity. These toxicities are not easy to show, but they will make it more difficult for you to break through the bottleneck and pay more costs and efforts than others!"

Li Muran nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He gradually understood this principle. However, his practice speed during the day was too slow and without the assistance of elixirs, it was impossible for him to have such cultivation today.

"I have an idea for you," said Taoist Zixia. "In the external skills, there is also a method of 'initiation', which refers to the way high-level monks use pure magic power to inject into the body of low-level monks and forcibly help them improve their cultivation. If you use the method of initiation to help you, you will be more than 50% sure that you can break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and become a late-stage cultivator of Qi and meridians!"

"When your cultivation level is improved, the possibility of accomplishing things for your master will also increase, so your master is willing to help you. I wonder what you think?" Taoist Zixia said, looking at Li Muran without blinking, waiting for his response.

Li Muran asked, "Is this method of initiation unfavorable?"

Taoist Zixia did not hide it. He nodded and said lightly: "Of course! There is no practice in the world that can be obtained in vain. Once the master uses the method of initiation to help you break through forcibly, the bottleneck you encounter next time will become more and more difficult. In other words, your cultivation may be in the late stage of the Qi and meridians, and it is difficult to enter the Shenhua period!"

"But this is not a big deal. Among the disciples, many of them are unable to advance to the late stage of Qi and meridians after a lifetime of poverty. It is even more rare for those who can practice to the Shenhua stage. If you can advance to the late stage of Qi and meridians through this, it is a great opportunity!"

Li Muran pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice. I still want to try to break through the bottleneck with my own strength. I don't want to receive the method of initiation for the time being!"

Taoist Zixia did not show much disappointment. He said, "I guess that you would probably choose this way! Indeed, the method of initiation is just a temporary measure. If you have a longer-term vision, it is difficult to accept it! Since you have lofty hearts, the master will not force you. In the past few months, you will be ready, or break through the bottleneck, improve your cultivation, or refine more talismans, improve your strength, and prepare for the tasks in a few months!"

"Yes, Master! Thank you for your understanding!" Li Muran replied respectfully.

Taoist Zixia nodded with a smile and was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he left another sentence and said, "You'd better not have the intention to escape from the sect. This will completely offend your master and this sect. If you encounter it in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to spare you! In addition, although this task is risky, it is also a rare opportunity! We immortal cultivators attach the most importance to the word "opportunity". I believe that you will not miss this great opportunity!"

"Yes, I understand!" Li Muran replied solemnly.

Taoist Zixia nodded with satisfaction and left, and told Li Muran not to tell others about this.

"What should be coming, I will come!" After Master Zixia left, Li Muran sighed and said leisurely.

He had known about the existence of this mission and had been waiting and preparing for it. Now the master finally made it clear. While he sighed, he felt a little relieved.

"Junior Brother Mu, you are lucky and avoided this task!" Li Muran said with a wry smile.

"It's still early, so why not go to the market!"

"The day before yesterday, in order to escape from the claws of the Snow Spirit Fox King, I used a lot of talismans and needed some more."

"You can try the several ways to raise spirit beasts mentioned in the jade slip for the spirit-controlling technique left by the monk Beihan, but you also need to buy some raw materials."

"In addition, the giant python scale skins with water and fire were also sent to Zhujian Pavilion to see if fellow Daoist Han was interested in refining it into a magic weapon."

Not long after, Li Muran took the talisman paper crane to Pingnangufang City.

As soon as he entered the market, several shopkeepers of the street shops took the initiative to greet him from afar. Half a year ago, when Li Muran killed a late-stage Qi and Mechanism thief thief, he was accidentally seen by several passers-by Danxin Sect disciples. Then he became famous for a while. Many people in the market knew that Zhao Wuming, a cultivator of the Yuanfu Sect in the middle-stage Qi and Mechanism, was no less than ordinary late-stage Qi and Mechanism disciples. Some even dug out the fact that he had entered the second floor of the Catacomb City and returned safely, which further evidenced the above rumors.

After becoming famous, Li Muran brought some benefits. At least he didn't need to hide his head and tail because of the two or three hundred spirit stones. Some shops that were very cold to him before also became enthusiastic about him.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the strength of the same kind of strength often corresponds to the wealth. The stronger the strength, the more spirit stones you can have. Ordinary mid-stage disciples of Qi and Meridians will be surprised to buy twenty or thirty third-level talisman papers in one breath, but if it is Li Muran, it will seem very normal and easy to accept.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are here just in time!" When Li Muran stepped into Baiqixuan, he was warmly received by a clerk. Li Muran clearly remembered that just two years ago, when he wanted to come here to buy a defensive magic weapon, he was ridiculed by the clerk.

He also has the mid-stage cultivation of Qi and Meridians, but now Li Muran is already slightly famous and is no longer the young disciple who has just advanced.

The clerk pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice: "I have a new batch of magic weapons yesterday, including all kinds of defense and attack magic weapons, and they are all medium-grade or above magic weapons. I wonder what you need for Fellow Daoist Zhao?"

"I arrived yesterday? Such a coincidence? I just needed to buy magic weapons, and a batch of new products were bought in this store!" Li Muran was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized it when he thought about it.

Most of the shopkeepers of Baiqixuan also have guidance from experts. They learned that the sect missions would be issued soon, so they specially got a batch of high-quality magic weapons in order to sell them at a good price!

Li Muran pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know if there are high-quality defensive magic weapons, preferably shields, the stronger the defense, the better!"

"Of course, I'll prepare a few things here. I'll ask fellow Daoist Zhao to enter the inner hall to have a cup of spiritual tea, and wait for a moment!" The clerk politely introduced Li Muran into the store, smiling all over his face, and was very attentive.

Li Muran thanked him and sat down in the inner hall. Although the cup of spiritual tea was fragrant, he only took a small sip and placed it aside.

"A small sip of Qingshen Tea makes you feel refreshed, but if you drink too much, you will feel a slight mental excitement, which is easy to be excited and excited. In that case, when you see the treasure you like, you are afraid that you will take out any more spirit stones to buy!"
