Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety Six

Early the next morning, Shi Mu woke up.

After a night's rest, he only felt refreshed at the moment, both mentally and physically recovered.

He stood up, walked out of the cave, and came to the hall of the main house outside.

There was a person standing at the entrance of the hall, it was the attendant named Cuihuan, and when she saw Shi Mu coming out, this woman went up to greet her.

"Mansion Master, the spiritual sites in the cave have been sorted out, do you want to go and inspect them?" Cuihuan said with a still icy expression.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Shi Mu said after thinking for a while.

"Excuse me, Palace Master," Cuihuan said.

"Do you know how those old disciples in the sect manage the cave?" Shi Mu asked.

"Reporting to Palace Master, the caves assigned by the sect to the disciples are all first-class treasure lands of spiritual veins. Especially those caves of senior senior disciples who have occupied this space for a long time, the quality of the spiritual veins is even more amazing. Those old disciples They will plant spirit grasses and medicines in these places, or raise some spirit beasts and insects, and sell them to the sect or other disciples in exchange for spirit stones. The sect does not care about these, and all the harvest can be owned by themselves .” Cuihuan said.

"Oh, there is such a good thing, did the former owner of this cave do the same?" Shi Mu nodded and asked again.

"Yes." Cuihuan said expressionlessly.

"Then what spiritual herbs does he grow? Do you have a list?" Shi Mu asked.

Cuihuan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, took out a piece of jade slip, and handed it to Shi Mu.

Shi Mu took it and released his consciousness into it.

There are several kinds of spiritual herbs listed in it, not rare ones, but easy-to-grow varieties.

"Continue to plant these spiritual grasses according to this list in the future, and you can share 10% of the spiritual stones you get. As for how to distribute them, you can figure it out." Shi Mu returned the jade slips to Cuihuan, and said.

A hint of surprise appeared on Cuihuan's face, they were just servants, it was not easy to cultivate in the rich aura environment here, logically Shi Mu didn't have to give them any reward, just like the previous master did.

"Thank you Palace Master for your generosity." Cuihuan bowed and saluted.

Shi Mu waved his hand casually, he didn't care about this spirit stone at all, he chose this place to be remote and quiet, no one would bother him.

The Qinglan Holy Land actually didn't pay much attention to the gains made by the disciples' Dongfu Spiritual Land.

The Holy Land provided Shi Mu and the others with such a good cultivation environment, and various superior conditions were not provided for nothing. They needed disciples like them to do things for the sect, that is, to accept tasks at the Ten Thousand Laws Hall.

The Qinglan Handbook has already stated that century-old disciples such as Shi Mu need to complete ten tasks in the Ten Thousand Laws Hall every ten years. There is no requirement for the content of the tasks, and they can choose freely. There will be no silk milligram buckle.

Those who fail to do so will be punished by the Holy Land, and even deprived of their status as disciples and expelled from the Holy Land.

Shi Mu then asked several other questions, and Cuihuan answered them truthfully.

From the beginning to the end, this woman was neither humble nor overbearing, and she did not have the attitude of other servants to flatter her, but she knew everything about Shi Mu's questions.

Speaking of it, Shi Mu admired this woman's attitude a bit. He has a free and easy temperament, and he doesn't like to dominate others and be praised by others.

This woman saves a lot of trouble.

Next, Shi Mu summoned Cai'er, and under the leadership of this woman, he began to inspect this piece of cave spirit land that belonged to him.

His cave is only about a hundred miles away, but he took a look at it after a while.

In the end, Cuihuan brought Shi Mu to the spiritual spring in the spiritual land.

This spiritual spring is located in a mountain valley, and from a long distance, one can feel a scorching aura blowing towards one's face.

"It's such a rich fire-attribute vitality, almost comparable to that crater in the Xiwei Islands." Cai'er yelled.

Shi Mu's face was also happy, part of the reason he chose this place was because of the spirit spring of the fire attribute, and now it seems that he made the right choice.

He moved and fell towards the valley.

Red mist rolled everywhere in the valley, and the mountain walls also showed a red color. The entire valley and the nearby peaks could not see the slightest green vegetation.

In the center of the valley, there is a red spiritual spring with a size of several feet, which is emitting a tumbling red light, which is quite spiritual.

Shi Mu walked to the side of the Lingquan and looked down.

I saw countless tumbling crimson magma inside, rushing up from time to time, but every time at this time, a red light would emerge from the Lingquan, blocking the magma back.

"Fire Spirit Soul!" Cai'er also landed on the Lingquan, looked down, and let out a loud cry.

In the spiritual spring below, many fire fish, fire snakes and other things were born, haunting the magma.

Cai'er immediately yelled greedily, asking Shi Mu to catch a few heads for it to try.

Shi Mu grabbed two casually, then ignored Cai'er, closed his eyes slightly to feel the strong fire energy around him, and showed a hint of joy on his face.

The environment here was better than any fire spirit land he had stayed in before, and he immediately had some calculations in his heart, planning to move the training ground here.

According to his estimate, as long as another fire-filled formation is arranged, the power of fire element here can be increased a lot again, which will be of great help to the practice of the Red Ape Fire Sutra and the first turn of the Nine Turns Mysterious Art.

Thinking of this, he immediately started to act, took out a piece of jade slip and burned some things needed for arranging the Enlightening Fire Formation, and other materials needed for opening up the cave, and ordered Cuihuan to buy it.

These things are not uncommon, Qinglan Holy Land must have them.

Shi Mu started to make some other preparations.

A few days later, a brand new cave appeared next to the Lingquan.

Shi Mu summoned all the attendants including Cuihuan to be in charge, and gave a few simple instructions to let these people follow Caier's orders, and immediately enter the cave without saying a word, and closed themselves up.

...

In a secret room in Xindongfu, the red light was so intense that it almost formed a red flame.

Shi Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, silently rehearsing the Nine Turns Xuan Gong formula in his heart, his left arm gradually became dark, and gradually ignited a white flame, but there was still a stubborn red flame mixed in it.

He glanced at the red flame on his left hand, snorted softly, and closed his eyes.

The red light in the secret room, the rich power of fire, and the surrounding rich aura of heaven and earth converged towards Shi Mu's body.

A huge spiritual vortex slowly formed, and Shi Mu was at the center.

...

Time passed little by little, and three months passed in a blink of an eye.

On a mountain peak not far from Shi Mu's retreat, two early innate warriors are waving their hands, emitting two rays of light from their bodies, forming an ellipsoid shield, trapping a group of red bee-like bugs.

These bugs are desperately hitting the surrounding shields. Although there are many in number, they are too weak to rush out at all.

"That's right, just trap them slowly like this, don't cast too much spells and kill them, it won't taste good." A colorful parrot stood on top of one of the innate warriors, it was Cai'er yelled loudly.

The two innate warriors looked helpless, but they didn't dare to disobey Cai'er's words, and tried their best to control their true energy.

As time passed, those red bugs gradually lost their strength and no longer collided with the light shield.

"Now, open a gap!" Cai'er's eyes glowed, she yelled, and patted the head of the innate warrior below her with her claws.

The innate warrior rolled his eyes and moved his arm.

The ellipsoid shield suddenly opened a gap, and Cai'er immediately flew over, her body landed directly on the shield, her mouth stretched in through the gap, she grabbed a small red bug in her mouth, and swallowed it with her mouth open, with drunkenness appearing in her eyes. color.

"This fire pattern bee is really delicious..." It shook its head and said intoxicated.

At this moment, the two innate warriors looked like they were sweating profusely, but they still supported the ellipsoidal shield, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"You two have worked hard, do you want to try it together?" Cai'er looked at the two innate warriors and asked.

"Many... Thank you Uncle Cai'er, we have no luck to enjoy it, you can enjoy it alone." The two innate warriors said hastily.

"Since you don't know how to enjoy it, then I won't be polite." Cai'er continued to concentrate on enjoying it as she said.

These days, Shi Mu is in seclusion, and Cai'er asks some people to accompany him to play around in the spirit land area when he has nothing to do. This game of catching bugs is a game he just discovered recently. It can be eaten and played at the same time, which makes it very enjoyable. Almost.

At this moment, a long howl came from a distance, the sound was vast and boundless, like waves rolling in clouds, emptying into the sky, it came from Shi Mu's retreat.

Cai'er was taken aback, and suddenly turned her head to look, only to see a huge crimson beam of light rising from Shi Mu's retreat, soaring towards the sky.

The clouds in the nearby sky moved towards the surroundings and receded, and powerful fluctuations of true energy came out from the red beam of light.

"Quack, what a rock, I've been closed for so long, and I'm finally out!"

Cai'er laughed loudly, spread her wings, and flew in the direction of the beam of light.

The two innate warriors looked at the beam of light in the distance, their faces changed drastically, their hands couldn't help dissipating their true energy, and the group of trapped fire-marked bees immediately took the opportunity to fly away, but the two of them didn't care.

The other attendants in Shi Mu's cave mansion all saw this vision, stopped what they were doing one after another, and turned to look at the beam of light.

Cuihuan was guarding the spiritual grass in the spiritual place at the moment, when she saw the huge beam of light rising in the distance, she stopped her movements, her eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The red beam of light lasted for a full quarter of an hour before dissipating.

Immediately afterwards, a blue light flashed in the sky above Lingquan, and a figure appeared there, wearing a green robe, it was Shi Mu.

At this moment, his body exuded a faint red light, his eyes were closed tightly, and his face was radiant and radiant, like a treasured appearance of a Buddha.

His left arm emitted a faint white light at this moment, and his skin color had returned to its original state, but a terrifying firepower could clearly be felt lurking in the white light.

Shi Mu suddenly opened his eyes, two cold lights shot out from his eyes, there was a faint cold light like lightning.

There was a gleam of joy on his face, after two months of painstaking practice, the first level of the Nine Turns Mysterious Art was finally completed.

At this moment, his left arm has completely returned to its original nature and is no different from ordinary people. The heavy arm that he often felt before has no feeling at this moment, and the superficial abnormalities have disappeared without a trace. There is no need to deliberately cover the palm with a leather glove.

At this moment, he could feel that the flame power contained in his left hand was much greater than before, but he couldn't estimate how much greater it was.

The first level of the Nine Turns Mysterious Art was completed, and Shi Mu's Red Ape Fire Sutra finally went a step further, breaking through the early stage of the Earth Rank and reaching the middle stage of the Earth Rank, and the overall strength has improved a lot. (To be continued.)
