Chapter 574: Take the Sword

"This mission is to explore a Youyue iron mine and take out something inside. The situation in the mine has been explained in the mission description, and there is a natural The magnetic field greatly limits the monk's true energy and mana, so our Fang family has no way to do anything about it, so we have to ask the Holy Land for help." Fang Bozheng said.

"Ms. Shi already knew about this matter, but I don't know what the Fang family wants to get out of it?" Shi Mu nodded and asked.

In the hall, except for Fang Bozheng, the two middle-aged men, and the two young men who greeted Shi Mu, everyone retreated.

Several people looked at each other, and Fang Bo said, "It's a broken sword."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and took out a piece of jade slip, and handed it to Shi Mu.

Shi Mu's divine sense penetrated into it, and there was a picture on the jade slip, on which was a black broken sword, the style was quite peculiar.

"This sword looks unusual. Everyone is so nervous, it should be a treasure of your family, but why is this sword in that mine?" Shi Mu withdrew from his consciousness, was silent for a while, and asked.

"This is our Fang family's secret heart. Although Fellow Daoist Shi is a disciple of the Holy Land, please don't probe into our Fang family's affairs." A middle-aged man with a bad nose said coldly.

"Shi has no intention of prying into the secrets of your family, but he just thinks that knowing the truth of this matter will help him complete this mission. Presumably, you also hope that Shi can get back this sword." Shi Mu said lightly.

The middle-aged man with a rosaceous nose heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he fell silent.

"Hmph! The premise is that you really have the ability to take out the ancient sword from Youyue Mine." Fang Jinghai said coldly.

"Jinghai, don't be rude!" Fang Bozheng immediately reprimanded upon hearing this.

"This Fang Jinghai fellow daoist seems to be quite dissatisfied with Shi from the very beginning." Shi Mu said so after watching Fang Jinghai for a day.

"Fang only believes in those who are really capable, and it has always been the case with those who are just pretending to be numbers." Fang Jinghai said proudly.

"Really..." Shi Mu spat out these two words, glanced at the others, and suddenly showed a smile on his face.

There was a flash of black light in his right hand, and a gust of cold air suddenly emerged, sweeping the entire hall, as if the hall suddenly appeared on an extremely cold ice field, and the bone marrow of the whole body was frozen.

Kaka!

A thick layer of solid ice appeared out of thin air in the hall, Fang Jinghai, Fang Bozheng, and others were all covered by a layer of solid ice that appeared out of thin air.

Several people's faces changed drastically, and their bodies emitted various lights, trying to break free from the white ice, but except for the cracks in the ice around Fang Bozheng, the ice on the others remained motionless.

Shi Mu waved his hand again, and the black light in his right hand flowed, and the solid ice in the room shrank rapidly, and finally melted.

The cold air in the hall disappeared completely, and there was not a single crack on the floor of the tables and chairs, as if the solid ice had never appeared.

Fang Bozheng and the others looked at Shi Mu in horror, not only because of Shi Mu's terrifying ice supernatural power, but also because of his superb control over the power of ice.

In fact, Shi Mu just used his own ability to sense the water element in the air, and through the power of the most yin of the second turn of Xuan Gong, to freeze the water vapor instantly, so as to achieve the effect of shocking in one fell swoop.

With his little Nine Turns Mysterious Kungfu's mobilization and expression of the power of the most yin, there is no need to worry about others recognizing that he is practicing Nine Turns Mysterious Kungfu, one of the three great fortune-making magical powers of the Holy Land.

"Everyone, is Shi's strength satisfactory to you? Or do you need to try again?" Shi Mu didn't look at Fang Jinghai, but looked at Fang Bozheng and the other two middle-aged men with a faint smile.

Fang Bozheng's face was reddish, showing an embarrassing smile.

Although he was polite on the surface, he did instruct Fang Jinghai secretly to test Shi Mu's strength.

"Friend Daoist Shi is powerful, I admire you." Fang Bozheng clasped his hands and said.

"Patriarch Fang is polite, so can we talk about the details of the mission now?" Shi Mu said.

Fang Bo was silent for a while, and waved his hand.

Fang Jinghai and Fang Jingde walked out, leaving only Shi Mu and four people in the hall.

"That remnant sword is called Gu Que Sword. Although it is only a remnant sword, it is a family heirloom of our Fang family." Fang Bo said seriously.

"It can be seen that all of you are practicing swordsmanship." Shi Mu nodded and said.

"Not bad." Fang Bozheng nodded, and then his face darkened.

"Speaking of which, it's unfortunate for our family. A traitor came out of our Fang family a few years ago and even stole the ancient sword. However, he was also besieged and chased by family members, and he was forced to retreat near the Youyue Mine. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the man escaped into the Youyue Mine with the Gu Que Remnant Sword. We have tried many times to enter the mine over the years and retrieve the Gu Que Remnant Sword, but we have not been able to do it. There is really no way. That’s why I turned to the Holy Land.” Fang Bo smiled wryly.

The other two middle-aged people also looked a little embarrassed, and naturally they didn't want outsiders to know about this kind of family scandal.

After listening, Shi Mu nodded slowly, and then asked again:

"Since the Fang family has tried many times, they should know a lot about the situation in the Youyue Mine, right?"

"The mine has a magnetic field to imprison mana. It's nothing to do with it. It's just that many weird monsters have been born in the cave for some reason over the years. It's hard to guard against. My cultivation level has been imprisoned, so I can't go deep at all." Fang Bo was talking. , took out another jade slip, and handed it to Shi Mu.

"This is some information that our Fang family has obtained from exploring the interior of the Youyue Mine over the years."

Shi Mu stretched out his hand to take it, his divine sense penetrated into it, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The jade slips listed several kinds of weird monster insects, as well as a map of the mine veins that the Fang family had explored.

After a while, Shi Mu withdrew from his consciousness.

"What can Patriarch Fang find to deal with these monsters?" He was silent for a while and asked.

Fang Bozheng shook his head in awe, and said: "These demon insects seem to live by devouring the Youyue iron ore in the mine, and their bodies are extremely hard. We have tried our best, but although the spells, talismans and other things can They can be released in the cave, but they can't hurt them at all, only some imprisoning talismans can trap them for a while, but they can't do much damage."

Shi Mu's eyes flickered, thinking about various countermeasures in his mind.

"However, those monsters seem to hate the smell of a kind of medicinal material called Mirage Vine. We used this medicinal material to create a kind of Mirage Smoke, which can temporarily drive away those monster insects." Patriarch Fang Bozheng said again.

Shi Mu nodded.

The two sides chatted for a while about the Youyue Mine, and then ended the meeting.

It was getting late now, Fang Bozheng invited Shi Mu to stay here for one night, and then went to Youyue Mine tomorrow, Shi Mu did not refuse.

At night, in Shi Mu's room.

He bent over his desk to carve the talisman, and bursts of white light lit up in his right hand, pouring into a piece of blue talisman.

The blue talisman is extremely complicated, emitting bursts of powerful cold fluctuations, it is obviously a high-grade talisman.

After a while, the talisman was drawn, and Shi Mu casually put it aside, where there were already more than a dozen stacked.

He looked at the blue talisman in his hand and sighed in his heart.

He came to Qinglan Holy Land these years and has been busy practicing. He hasn't studied the talisman for a long time, and he can only draw top-grade talisman.

In Shengdian Pavilion China, there are not many top-quality talisman classics, but he has never had time to study them, otherwise he should be more sure about the trip to the mine tomorrow.

Shi Mu secretly made up his mind that after completing this task, he must take some time to study the way of talismans.

...

In a room in Fangjiabao, Fang Bo was gathering here with the two middle-aged men, Fang Jinghai, Fang Jingde and others.

"Patriarch, do you think that Shi Mu has the hope of completing the commission tomorrow?" The middle-aged man with a bad nose looked at Fang Bozheng and asked.

"Although that person is only at the late stage of the earth level, his strength is not weak. You have seen it with your own eyes today. You feel that if you are really blocked in action when you are really facing the enemy, even if it is just a short breath or two, it means You should know what you are talking about." Fang Bozheng did not speak, but another middle-aged man with green hair spoke.

"That person's ice supernatural power is indeed powerful, but after entering the Youyue Mine, all the true energy and mana can't be used. No matter how powerful the supernatural power is, it's of no use." The middle-aged man with rosacea snorted.

As soon as this remark came out, the green-haired middle-aged man fell silent.

"This person is not only good at skills. I have been observing him carefully since he entered the mountain gate, and found that the aura emanating from his body is a bit special. The skills he practiced should also be biased towards the way of tempering the body. Not a small advantage. In addition, I just started to find out that this person is the one who broke through the Illusory Demon Dao a few years ago and was promoted to a thousand-year-old disciple with an earth-level cultivation." Fang Jingde said.

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the people showed surprise, and Fang Jinghai was even more incredulous.

"Jingde did a good job. From this point of view, this person is worth a try." Patriarch Fang Bozheng nodded.

The head of the family opened his mouth, and the others looked at each other without saying anything.

...

In the early morning of the second day, several members of the Fang family and Shi Mu left Fangjiabao and flew towards the northwest.

Half a day later, everyone came to a deep mountain and landed on a desolate mine.

Shi Mu looked around, and there was an abandoned ore vein nearby, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

As soon as he landed, he felt a strange force permeating the ground, and the movement of the true energy and mana in his body was slightly affected. It seemed that it should be the strange underground magnetic field.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mu, the Youyue Mine is inside." Fang Bo and his party walked towards the depths of the mine on foot.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mu stepped forward to follow.

The group of people walked for about a quarter of an hour, and came near a mountain peak, and stood at the entrance of a huge black mine. On the surrounding rocks, some small metal pieces shining with a strange blue light could be seen.

At this point, a more obvious strange and cold force acted on Shi Mu's body, and the circulation of the true energy in his body immediately slowed down a lot.

"This is the Youyue Iron Mine." Fang Bozheng said. (to be continued ~^~)
