The Gate of the Genkai

Encounter in the Forest

“Then I will trouble Junior Brother Shi.”

The young Taoist priest with a sword on his back was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took out a few pieces of talisman paper, a bottle of light yellow magic ink, and an earth attribute spirit stone from his arms, and handed them over.

Shi Mu put these things on the table one by one, then took out the magic brush, spread out a piece of talisman paper, held the spirit stone in one hand, and the other hand immediately started to write.

As the pale yellow runes on the talisman paper gradually increased, within half a quarter of an hour, a brand new golden armor talisman was completed.

Shi Mu showed a hint of relief.

The Golden Armor Talisman is the kind of Talisman he has made the most during this period of time, and now even if he doesn’t use his pupil power to assist him, the success rate is astonishingly high.

He handed the talisman and the rest of the magic ink, talisman paper, and spirit stone back to the young Taoist priest with the sword on his back.

“Brother Shi’s talisman-making technique is simply amazing. Some talisman masters in our sect sometimes waste more than a dozen materials, and may not be able to make a single talisman.” The young Taoist said happily after taking the things.

“Hehe, Senior Brother Qin has won the award. But no matter how much you praise me, I will not charge less. The old rule is that one talisman has two merit points.” Shi Mu said a joke, took out his identity token, and put it on the on the table.

“Naturally.” The young Taoist took out his identity token, rubbed it twice, two light spots flew out of it, and merged into Shi Mu’s token in a flash.The young Taoist thanked him again, and then went out.

As a result, just as the person pushed the door out, another young Xuanwu Sect disciple in blue came in and said as he walked:

“Senior Brother Shi, you’ve come back, this time I need to trouble you to refine a light-weight talisman for me.”

Shi Mu looked through the door and found two people waiting outside, he couldn’t help laughing bitterly.

At the stone table on the other side of the mine, seeing this scene, Bai Yuxiu’s face became even colder. After saying “the meeting is over”, he got up and walked back to his stone room. At the same time, a soft and beautiful figure appeared in his mind, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

“Hmph, he was lucky this time, and he won’t be so lucky next time. In this kind of place, it’s really not uncommon for an early stage disciple to lose his life.” Bai Yuxiu suddenly slapped the wood in the room with one hand. The table, said viciously.

After more than half an hour, Shi Mu finally finished drawing the talisman for the last person, and there were already more than 20 merit points on the token. There was also a smile on his face.

As long as you survive this period of time and return to the alliance base camp behind, these merit points will come in handy.

Since the resources of the seven factions have been integrated into one place, merit points can be exchanged for many rare items, such as rare spirit stones, some powerful magic tools, and some precious medicines, as long as there are enough merit points , Even the martial arts and martial arts of other sects are not impossible.

He closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed. Take out a small jade bottle and take a bone quenching pill.

It didn’t take long before his face turned blue and white, and the clothes on his body were stirred up by an invisible air current.

After a long time, Shi Mu opened his eyes with a hint of joy on his face.

His astronomical skill has made some progress.

For more than a year, although he was ordered to fight abroad and lived a life of ups and downs, he did not relax at all in his cultivation, and this kind of bloody fighting stimulated his potential even more.

With the help of the elixir, his astronomical skill has already reached the fourth level. In one fell swoop, he has entered the realm of the mid-acquired martial artist, and he is not far from the fifth floor.

Because of the moon-swallowing technique, the spirit-intense technique also successfully entered the fourth floor a few months ago.

However, since entering the fourth floor, the increase in mana of Crystal Moon immediately slowed down a lot. The rice-sized grains condensed by spending more than a month practicing the moon-swallowing pose can increase the mana by a small amount at most, and there is no longer the feeling of rapid progress that once the grains turned into the moon and the mana multiplied.

This is not surprising, the more difficult it is to advance to the later stage of Yunshen Art.

Shi Mu estimated that even with the help of swallowing the moon. It may take more than two years to complete the fifth level of Yunshen Art.

Shi Mu sighed lightly, then shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

As the old saying goes, if one’s heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, one can cultivate to the present state within less than two years of getting started, which is considered extremely fast.

The moon-swallowing pose has helped me so much that it can be described as unimaginable, but I still feel slow here. People’s greed is really endless.

Shi Mu introspected secretly, and his impetuous mood suddenly returned to calm. He closed his eyes and continued to practice.

Time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

Everyone in the mine had worked hard all day, and except for those who were on watch at night, everyone else had already rested.

Shi Mu pushed the door and walked out, walking lightly, and quickly left the mine, appearing under the giant tree on the cliff at the entrance.

The sky and the earth are quiet outside, and a bright moon hangs in the sky, which is exceptionally bright.

“Senior brother Shi, we’re going out again.” Behind a boulder near the giant tree, a night guard disciple saw Shi Mu coming out, poked his head out and greeted softly.

Shi Mu nodded to him, didn’t speak, then walked lightly and quietly towards the nearby woods.

Whenever there is a moon in the night, he will definitely come outside and stay overnight. Almost everyone in this stronghold knows about it.

Shi Mu explained that he was practicing a secret technique, but the others did not doubt it too much. After all, some exercises really need to be practiced at night.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu came to a clearing in the forest, and then stopped. This place is several miles away from the stronghold.

Shi Mu searched the surroundings for a while, but found no abnormalities, so he felt a little relieved.

Although as a talisman master, few people in the stronghold were willing to take the risk of offending him to pry into his secrets, but just in case, he would change the location every time he came out to practice.

Next, Shi Mu took out four light blue talismans from his bosom, arranged them around, and chanted a mantra for a while, the four talismans lighted up slightly, and then fell silent.

Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction.

These four talismans are not ordinary talismans, they are called Sifang psychic talismans. If the four match, a simple set of Sifang psychic formations can be formed, which can detect any movement within a radius of one hundred feet.

This is what he bought from a Fenghuomen disciple a few months ago after spending more than 100,000 taels of silver and a low-grade fire-attribute spirit stone.

With these four talismans, he can feel at ease when he comes out to practice the moon-swallowing pose.

After setting up the formation, Shi Mu sat down cross-legged, posing in the moon-swallowing posture, and soon entered the dreamland.

In the dream, the moonlight is like water, and the white ape incarnated by Shi Mu looks up at the moon, and countless moonlight essences fall into his eyes.

The night passed in a flash.

As the sky gradually turned white, Shi Mu moved his body, waking up from the dream.

A bean-sized grain in his mind was slightly ups and downs, exuding a faint brilliance.

After discovering that the crystallization of the moon did not improve mana much, Shi Mu simply stopped transforming the moon, and began to practice the moon-swallowing style to make the crystal grains in his mind bigger and bigger, wanting to see if something would happen.

Shi Mu let out a long breath, stood up, turned around and walked towards the mine stronghold.

The surrounding sky gradually brightened, and the mist like green gauze floating in the forest in the early morning looked extraordinarily beautiful.

Shi Mu jumped over a mound without a sound, and there was a sound of running water. Not far away, among the lush greenery, there was a clear stream winding past.

His face brightened, he was thirsty after practicing all night, he walked quickly to the stream and filled his water bag with clean water, and was about to drink it when there was a slight splash of water coming from the front.

Shi Mu’s face changed suddenly, he quickly put away the water bag, held down the meteorite black knife on his waist, and slowly lurked over.

Slowly poking his head out from behind a bush, he finally saw the source of the voice.

Not far ahead, in a clear pool connected to a small stream, the back of a slender girl is shrouded in the mist of the morning light. Her long dark hair is split behind her like a waterfall, and spread out like misty clouds in the water, surrounding the girl. around.

The girl’s white jade-like arms flicked in the water, making a splashing sound.

Water drops slid into the water along the rounded arc of his shoulders, and his skin was dazzlingly white against the rising sun.

Shi Mu took a tight breath, and his body froze in place.

The girl in the water turned slightly, revealing the soft peaks on her chest, but at the same time Shi Mu also saw the girl’s appearance, it was Ke’er.

Shi Mu’s body shook, he couldn’t help but took a step back, stepped on a dead branch, and made a soft sound.

“Who”

Ke’er’s pretty face in the water changed, and with a wave of her jade hand, a cyan vine flew out of the water and rolled towards Shi Mu.

Shi Mu’s expression changed, and he recovered from his stiffness immediately, turning over and jumping backwards.

With a “snap”, the cyan vine fell to where it was standing, plowing a deep mark on the ground.

Shi Mu was startled secretly, looking at the situation, this Ke’er usually hides a lot of strength.

The cyan vine flicked on the ground, sprang up again like a spirit snake, and continued to pounce.

Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, and pulled out the long knife at his waist. With a flick of his arm, several knife shadows appeared, wrapping around the blue vines.

The crimson fire flashed slightly, and the vine was cut into several sections.

However, the severed vines not only did not die, black sap gushed out from the cut, and the severed vines grew rapidly, and the color had turned pitch black, exuding a faint fishy smell.

Shi Mu’s face was startled, the Meteorite Black Saber was horizontally in front of him, and at the same time, he moved his empty hand, and there was an extra fireball talisman in his hand.

“Hey, Senior Brother Shi, it’s you”

Ke’er came out of the water at some point, and she had already put on clothes, but her long black hair had not been tidied up in time, and it was wet and loose behind her.

She saw clearly that it was Shi Mu, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The potted bamboo at home finally fell completely after we took care of it for a whole winter. With great grief, Wang Yu sent the bones to the environmental protection vat downstairs, hoping that he would work hard in the next life and have the opportunity to be reincarnated in the empty flower pot at home. :
