Chapter 547: Hard to Hide the Edge

After the ceremony, Li Mu was about to leave quietly, but Sword Master Feng's warm and strong hand gently placed on his shoulder, keeping him here.

"Elder Li, wait a minute, stay for a moment!" Sword Master Feng's voice, with a hint of a smile, penetrated the noise of the crowd and reached Li Mu's ears clearly and warmly.

Hearing this, Li Mu paused slightly, then turned around to face the gazes of Sword Master Feng and the familiar or unfamiliar sword elders and sect ancestors around him.

Under the attention of so many people, it was extremely difficult to escape. Li Mu had a wry smile on his face.

"Sword Master, I have just formed the Dharma Domain, and my cultivation is not stable yet. I still want to sneak away and go back to retreat to consolidate!" Li Mu responded with a smile, and said apologetically with a bit of self-deprecation in his words.

"Haha, Elder Li, that's wrong. It's important to practice in seclusion, but communicating and discussing with others is also indispensable on the path of practice. Besides, I won't delay you for too long, not that much time!" Sword Master Feng haha Smiling, he looked at Li Mu and said, "You usually live in a solitary life and rarely show up. Today is a grand event. How can you easily miss this opportunity to get to know your colleagues? Let me introduce you to some sword masters."

After saying this, Sword Master Feng turned around gracefully, as if leading a distinguished guest, and introduced the four outstanding sword masters behind him one by one.

The four sword masters stood on their own, three men and one woman. They had different styles, and they were like four immortal figures displayed in front of Li Mu.

The first thing that caught the eye was a thin old man with gray hair. He was wearing a flowing cloud robe, with fluttering skirts. He seemed to be able to ride on the wind at any time and become an immortal in the clouds. His deep eyes Hidden in it are the wisdom accumulated over the years and the profundity of the sword, which makes people involuntarily awe.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burly middle-aged swordsman wearing black armor. His Chinese character face and his brows revealed his dedication to the sword. Although the heavy sword on his back was not unsheathed, he had a strong and vigorous attitude of carrying mountains and rivers. The breath makes one's heart sink.

Then, a graceful young swordsman came into view. His green clothes were fluttering, his sword-like eyebrows were starry, and his movements were full of elegance. The bone fan gently swaying in his hand seemed to be nothing extraordinary, and every breeze seemed to contain the power of the sword. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel like a spring breeze and made them feel good.

Finally, a female sword master in a light gauze skirt slowly stepped into the public's sight. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, her steps were light and elegant, and her face was gentle yet majestic. She was like a fairy descending to the mortal world under the moon, surrounded by people There is a faint sword intention, which is both gentle and sharp, allowing people to feel her profound swordsmanship inadvertently.

"This is Sword Master Qi, who majors in Taixuan Swordsmanship. He is usually stationed in the Northern Territory to protect the peace of the Sword Sect's Northern Territory!" Sword Master Feng introduced the identity of the silver-haired old man to Li Mu and gestured with a smile: "Sword Master Qi is not only a swordsman but also a swordsman." He is very talented, has extraordinary vision, and is good at sword formation. Elder Li, you are also good at sword formation. You can ask him for advice if you have the opportunity."

Hearing this, Li Mu quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "I have admired the name of Sword Master Qi for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet you today. Li has many things that I don't understand about the sword formation, and I hope that Sword Master Qi will not hesitate to give me some advice. ”

"Hahaha! Elder Li is so polite. I like the Dao sword you refined for me very much. It's not easy to see it today. Since you are interested in the sword formation, I will try my best to help you." The sword master smiled heartily, caressing the silver whiskers on his chin, his eyes flashing with wisdom, then took out an exquisite storage ring from his sleeve and handed it to Li Mu.

"In this storage ring, there are the classics and experiences about the sword formation that I have collected over the years, as well as some weapon refining spiritual materials. It contains the high-level weapon refining spiritual materials I collected in the Northern Territory, including the rare ' "Ice Chalcedony', 'Thunder Fire Crystal', etc., I hope they can add strength to your weapon refining journey," Qi Xuanming said with a smile.

"This, Sword Master Qi, this great gift, Li!" Li Mu was taken aback and quickly refused.

"Elder Li, don't refuse." Upon seeing this, Sword Master Feng interrupted with a smile and signaled: "You and Sword Master Qi are close friends in the swordsmanship. He gave you this thing out of support and expectation for you. , if you can integrate these classics and experience, it will not only improve your personal cultivation, but also make a great contribution to our sword sect. Furthermore, the Tao sword you refined has been greatly appreciated by Sword Master Qi. The weapon refining materials in this storage ring are also recognition of your weapon refining skills."

"Take it, Elder Li, this is what you deserve." Chen Daojun came over and advised Li Mudao together.

"Thank you, Sword Master Qi, for the generous gift!" Li Mu followed his kindness and gratefully accepted the storage ring.

Qi Xuanming smiled with satisfaction. He saw the top-quality Taoist weapon that Li Mu gave to Chen Daojun today. If he gave this favor today and established a friendship with him, he would naturally not suffer any loss in the future.

Next, Sword Master Feng continued to lead Li Mu towards the burly middle-aged swordsman wearing black armor, and introduced: "This is Sword Master Lin who guards the Eastern Region of the Sword Sect and defeats all monsters. He uses ' The Thunder Sword Domain is famous all over the world, and its sword skills are as fast as thunder and unstoppable. Sword Master Lin is not only superb in sword skills, but also in physical skills. His physical strength is almost comparable to that of magic weapons. He is a rare omnipotent person in the sword sect. "Sword repair."

"The name of Sword Master Lin is like thunder. It is really a blessing for Li to meet him today." Li Mu gave a slight salute to Sword Master Lin and greeted him with a smile.

"Elder Li, you're welcome. Thank you for refining the 'Thunder Spirit' for me. This is the thank you gift I prepared. I hope Elder Li will accept it!" Sword Master Lin said in a rich voice. After finishing his words, he waved his hand gently and turned the page. He presented a storage ring as a gift and introduced with a smile: "This storage ring contains the 'Red Flame Gold Sand', 'Thousand Veins Crystal Stone' and other refining treasures that are unique to our Eastern Region. I hope you like it. "

"My descendants, Feng Wuhen, Elder Li, although there are not as shocking spiritual materials in my storage ring as the previous two sword masters, they are all carefully selected, so please accept them!" The sword cultivator in blue smiled slightly, Gently shaking the bone fan in his hand, a breeze blew by, and a storage ring shining with cyan light appeared in front of Li Mu.

"Elder Li, my storage ring contains spiritual materials such as 'Yunmeng Dew' and 'Moonlight Silver Sand'. They are not only suitable for refining weapons, but also contain a trace of natural principles. I hope you can refining them." At the same time, the unique atmosphere of these spiritual materials is incorporated to create a more perfect work." Sword Master Yunmeng introduced with a smile. Before he finished speaking, an exquisite storage ring appeared in front of Li Mu.

"Thank you so much, Sword Master Lin, Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Yun. It's so disrespectful for Li to be so shameless!" Faced with such generous gifts from several sword masters, Li Mu thanked him gratefully and reached out to take the three storage rings.

"Haha, Elder Li, just accept it with peace of mind! No need to be polite, but it's a pity that Sword Master Qiu has been delayed, otherwise he would have been there in person to give you a gift. However, his absence does not mean that he has something in mind If he is lacking, he will make up for it when he comes back." Sword Master Feng smiled heartily, resolving some regrets about Sword Master Qiu's absence.

"That's right, Elder Li, there is no need to be polite. The Tao sword you refined for us is far more than what it was worth. These spiritual materials are just a little bit of our thoughts!" Sword Master Lin laughed and said gratefully.

"Yes, 'Tian Shuang' is very suitable for me. With its help, I can take that step just around the corner." Sword Master Yun looked at Li Mu and thanked her gratefully. Then, she looked at Chen Qingxuan and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Chen , you were promoted to Mahayana because of your Geng Jin Dao Sword."

After hearing Sword Master Yun's question, Sword Master Feng showed a strange look on his face, and the three sword masters all showed expressions of concern.

Chen Qingxuan's cultivation level was at the bottom among the seven of them. However, he came from behind, which really made them extremely curious, trying to find out what happened and imitate the way to advance to the Mahayana.

Chen Qingxuan frowned. He broke through the 'level' and advanced to the Mahayana because he had a sword fight with Li Mu who was embarking on the Avenue of Chaos. He got a chance from it and gained enlightenment, which had nothing to do with the Geng Jin Dao Sword.

However, he had promised Li Mu not to reveal to others how he cultivated the Avenue of Chaos. At the moment, it was difficult for Sword Master Yun to explain the reason to him.

Like him, several sword masters have been stagnant at the peak of the Fusion Realm for many years, and they all have great desires for how to cross the last chasm and enter the Mahayana Realm.

Facing the direct inquiry from Sword Master Yun, Chen Qingxuan quickly calculated in his mind that he should not only trust his promise to Li Mu, but also give his companions a reasonable explanation to prevent them from going astray due to misunderstanding.

Chen Qingxuan looked around. The distinguished guests attending the ceremony, the ancestors of the sects, and the family patriarchs were all paying attention to this place, watching eagerly. If they hadn't surrounded Li Mu, they would have been eager to come over and get a share with him. Elder Li has made friends.

Chen Qingxuan waved his hand, with a somewhat apologetic smile on his face, and said perfunctorily: "This matter is complicated, and many details are difficult to summarize in one sentence. When the time is right in the future, I will tell you in detail. "

Then, Chen Daojun showed a gentle smile, looked at Li Mu and signaled: "Elder Li, you have been concentrating on the law for a short time, and you need to retreat for a period of time to stabilize your cultivation. It's time to go back and retreat!"

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes lit up, as if he had been granted amnesty. He looked at Chen Qingxuan gratefully and said, "Master Dao, what you said is absolutely true. Li must practice hard in seclusion and strive for an early breakthrough."

Li Mu couldn't wait to bow deeply to the sword masters, sword elders and all the distinguished guests present, and said apologetically: "Everyone, Li has felt something in his heart and urgently needs to retreat in order to stabilize his cultivation. Therefore, I will retire first and hope that you will understand me."

Say it! Li Mu took Xueer, flew away in the air, and hurriedly left the ceremony venue.

"Hey, Master Li, please wait a moment, Kun has something to ask for!"

"Master Li, wait a moment."

…

Seeing Li Mu flying out of the siege of several sword masters from the Xuantian Sword Sect, a cry of call suddenly sounded from the scene. The clan leaders and sect ancestors who were familiar with Li Mu or had heard of his name for a long time were eager to keep him.

Some of them were holding jade slips, and some were carrying exquisite storage rings. They obviously came with sincerity and generous gifts, hoping to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with Li Mu.

"Everyone, our sect, Elder Li, needs to be in seclusion for a period of time. If you want to entrust weapon refining, you can discuss it with our sect's Elder Qiu. Don't disturb his practice!"

Watching Li Mu leave, Chen Qingxuan smiled slightly, looked at the elders of the sect and the distinguished guests invited to the hall, and gestured majestically.

The words of the Mahayana Taoist resounded like thunder in every corner of the venue, not only silencing those eager calls, but also filling the hearts of everyone present with an indescribable awe. Chen Qingxuan's words not only showed his full support for Li Mu's retreat, but also revealed the importance he attached to it.

Upon hearing this, the clan leaders and sect ancestors all restrained their eager expressions and looked towards the direction where Li Mu was going, with regret in their eyes.

The faces of the ancestors and clan leaders showed disappointment. Chen Qingxuan's words completely cut off their thoughts of having in-depth exchanges with Li Mu. But they thought that if they could reach the commission of refining weapons through Elder Qiu, they would not return empty-handed. However, they did not know what extra price they would have to pay.

At this time, Qiu Yuanhong stood up at the right time, smiled and arched his hands to everyone, saying: "Don't worry, during Elder Li's retreat, I will handle all the refining matters on his behalf, and I guarantee that I will not keep you waiting for a long time. If you want to entrust Elder Li to refine weapons, it is not a problem. If you have any special needs or questions, just come to me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt relieved. They thanked Elder Qiu and expressed their wishes for Li Mu's successful retreat.

On the way back, Li Mu and Xue'er walked side by side, shuttled between the clouds, enjoying this rare quiet time. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on them, adding a bit of warmth to this journey home.

Xue'er's eyebrows were as beautiful as jade, staring at Li Mu's handsome face, her eyes flashing with admiration and pride.

"Why are you looking at me like that!" Li Mu felt Xue'er's gaze and asked in confusion.

"Brother Li, today really opened my eyes. So many sword masters and sect ancestors respected you and praised you, and gave you so many precious high-level refining materials. You are really amazing!" Xue'er praised sincerely and said proudly.

"It's okay! However, too much light can bring both good and bad!" Li Mu's smile flashed, he sighed softly, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and replied with some worry.

Xue'er immediately caught Li Mu's negative emotions, gently moved closer, and comforted him with concern: "Brother Li, don't worry too much! We have the Xuantian Sword Sect behind us, they shouldn't dare to harm you, right?"

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others!" Li Mu smiled bitterly, looked at Xue'er and solemnly reminded: "Xue'er, next, you will pass the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, I will also make some preparations for you to ensure that you can pass it smoothly!"

Xue'er felt the power in Li Mu's words, and a warm current surged in her heart. She held Li Mu's hand tightly and said firmly: "Brother Li, I will work hard! With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

As they spoke, the two returned to the Qixuan Sect, plunged into the practice room of the Sect Master's Mansion, and entered the treasure house space for retreat. (End of this chapter)
