The Portal of Wonderland

Shi Mu frowned slightly when he heard the discussion behind him.

It's not his intention to show off, but it's a pity that Wanfa Pavilion can only accept one mission at a time, otherwise he would simply accept ten missions at once, and he wouldn't be so conspicuous.

After handing over the task, Shi Mu quickly came to the task stone wall, accepted another task, and then left Wanfa Pavilion.

In the next three or four months, Shi Mu went in and out of Wanfa Pavilion so frequently, and completed each sect task with an astonishing efficiency.

Although he tried to keep a low profile every time, and left after receiving the task without staying at all, it had already caused a commotion among the disciples.

Some high-ranking old disciples also gradually heard about Shi Mu, a task madman, and came here to see a thing or two.

However, after completing the tenth task, Shi Mu never appeared in Wanfa Pavilion again, which disappointed many people who wanted to continue to watch the excitement.

As the competition approached, the attention of these disciples gradually shifted to the competition, and the commotion caused by Shi Mu gradually subsided.

...

One day five months later, in the side hall of Tianbao Pavilion.

Fellow Daoist Shi, it's been a long time! the fat steward said.

The shopkeeper is safe and well. I am here this time to sell some spiritual materials. Shi Mu said straight to the point.

When the fat steward heard this, his eyes lit up.

Shi Mu didn't talk nonsense. With a flick of his sleeve robe, a demon pill exuding a green glow, a green grass with four young leaves, and three fist-sized red stones appeared on the round table. above.

These are some of the spiritual materials he obtained along the way when he completed the mission of the sect in the past six months.

That's all, please give me a price from the shopkeeper. Shi Mu said.

The fat shopkeeper walked to the table, picked up the three things one by one, and observed them carefully for a long time before he said:

This earth armor beast demon pill is complete in appearance, and its demon power has not leaked at all. It has the highest value, worth fifteen top-grade spirit stones. Although this four-leaf dogwood is also a rare thing in the outside world, it can only be regarded as an ordinary one in Tongliufang. Let’s count it as five top-grade spirit stones. As for the Lietong stone, the market price is one top-grade spirit stone. There are a total of twenty-three top-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Shi, what do you think?”

Just do what you say. Shi Mu said.

Okay, doing business with Fellow Daoist Shi is refreshing, so I'll send someone to fetch the spirit stone for you. The fat shopkeeper said with a smile

Then I'll be the shopkeeper. By the way, on the way here just now, I saw a lot of people in this square city. I've never seen such a grand event before. What's going on? Shi Mu asked.

Hehe, how long has Fellow Daoist Shi been since you came to Tongliufang? The fat steward heard the words and asked.

To be honest, I haven't been here for seven or eight years. Shi Mu replied.

It's no wonder. Fellow Daoist Shi, do you still remember the skyrocketing price of extreme yin energy and heavenly beast essence blood? said the fat steward.

Oh, could it be related to this matter? Shi Mu's heart moved, and he asked calmly on the surface.

That has a lot to do with it! This is also the information that I finally got after I inquired about it. It turns out that the soul-piercing lamp that was extinguished back then was a big man who practiced the nine-turn Xuangong to the Dacheng state thousands of years ago in the Holy Land. It is said that it was He is one of the disciples of the Holy Ancestor! As one of the three great fortune-telling supernatural powers, the Nine-Zhuan Xuan Gong is infinitely powerful once it is cultivated! However, due to some special reasons, once someone cultivates to the Dacheng state, other people's The exercises will be absorbed by him and become useless. The fat shopkeeper approached Shi Mu a little bit, and said mysteriously.

There is such a thing? Shi Mu pretended to be surprised.

That's right! So this big man's soul-piercing lamp has gone out, and other people's opportunities have naturally come. Therefore, the materials related to the practice of this exercise have naturally increased. Many century-old disciples and thousand-year-old disciples who could not retreat originally, are now available. They all left the customs and went out to search for those materials! said the fat shopkeeper.

Really? Although this technique is powerful, there may be less than one thousand people who can practice it, and the rest will become useless people. Such a wicked sect, how many people really want to practice it? Shi Mu asked again.

Hey, our Qinglan Holy Land has gathered many talented disciples from the entire Miyang Starfield, many of whom are from big families. Naturally, we will not give up such a great opportunity, otherwise, how could these spiritual materials skyrocket like this? It is said that it has been around for thousands of years. I exchanged this profound art quietly with my Wannian disciple, and I am secretly practicing it. The fat steward said confidently.

Oh, I don't know if it was mentioned in the rumor, which disciples are practicing this profound art? Shi Mu raised his brows slightly, and asked again.

This... I don't know. The fat steward heard this, shook his head and said.

Shopkeeper, Tianbao Pavilion is so well-informed. If you don't know, I'm afraid no one in Tongliufang will know about it. Shi Mu said, taking out a bag of Lingshi from the storage ring and handing it over.

About the thousand-year disciples and the ten-thousand-year disciples, I really don't know who among the thousand-year disciples has exchanged for the nine-turn Xuangong and secretly cultivated. Said colorfully.

After hearing this, Shi Mu was somewhat disappointed.

However... among these century-old disciples, I know who has practiced this profound art. The fat steward suddenly changed the subject and said this.

When Shi Mu heard this, he was taken aback. His hands under the table subconsciously clenched his fists, and then quickly released them. His expression didn't change much.

Who is that? Shi Mu asked.

Actually, I'm not the only one who knows, many people in Qinglan Holy Land know that that person is Zhao Ji who entered the Holy Land in the same class as you. The fat steward replied.

So it was him. Shi Mu felt relieved when he heard this.

At first, everyone thought that the entry time limit was too short, and the demand for profound spirit points was so high that it was impossible for a hundred-year-old disciple to practice nine-turn profound art, but no one thought that there would be such a strange person as Zhao Ji. The fat steward continued.

As far as I know, this Zhao Ji is extremely talented and cannot be judged by common sense. He is only practicing the Nine Turns Mysterious Art, which should be a very secret thing. How did he make it known to almost everyone now? Shi Mu asked suspiciously.

This is really a coincidence. It is said that it was three years ago. When Zhao Ji was out on a mission, he encountered a celestial monster by chance. When he was fighting with it, he was cornered and resorted to Nine turns of Xuan Gong, and killed the monster. As a result, this matter was accidentally discovered by several old disciples who were tracking and hunting the monster. This is how it was revealed. It is said that this child has Completed the first round of Xuan Gong, and started to practice the second round. The fat steward replied.

So that's it. It's really not easy to cultivate this exercise to the second level! Shi Mu sighed after hearing this.

Hehe, the so-called Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind! It is said that since this Zhao Ji was discovered practicing the Nine Turns Xuan Gong, he has been attacked by unknown people inside and outside the Holy Land several times. It's really thrilling. The fat steward said.

Shi Mu's heart was awe-inspiring, once Zhao Ji was exposed, he was attacked several times, it can be seen that in Qinglan Holy Land, there are definitely not a few people who secretly practice the nine-turn Xuangong.

The shopkeeper is busy with affairs in the pavilion, so I won't bother you anymore, so I'm leaving. Shi Mu cupped his hands at the fat steward, exchanged a few words of greeting, then took the payment for the spiritual materials, and left Tianbao Pavilion.

...

One day half a month later, at the extreme north of Dongsheng Star, there was a vast and boundless ice field.

The sky was covered with silver-gray lead clouds, and palm-sized snowflakes were continuously falling down one after another.

A tall, thin, blue-haired man in a gray robe was standing in mid-air.

The appearance of this man is very strange, there is no eyebrow in front of his smooth forehead, only a vertical eye was born in the middle of the forehead, and there is no protruding nose bridge under the eye, there are only two round holes, and under the round hole is a Or a mouth full of sharp teeth.

This person's entire body was wrapped in a dark blue light, and as soon as the snowflakes in the sky fell into the blue light, they immediately turned into an ice cone and fell to the ground.

Zhao Ji, you should stop hiding in Tibet, come out obediently and suffer your death! The green-haired man opened his mouth wide, and his voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as a night owl.

However, in this piece of heaven and earth, the only response to him was the sound of howling wind and snow.

I saw the one-eyed man with the green hair turn around, and suddenly shot out an arm-thin blue light from it, scanning towards the snow-covered ice field below him.

At this moment, in a low-lying area on the ice sheet, a piece of pure white snow suddenly sank for no reason.

Hey, I found you! The green-haired man turned his one-eyed eyes, locked on that place in an instant, and said with a sinister smile.

I saw the blue light on his body suddenly soaring, with a powerful and unparalleled aura, expanding in all directions, and the cultivation base of the sky can be seen at a glance.

The falling snow in the sky was swept away by the blue light, and suddenly froze into ice cones as thick as fingers, which also flew in all directions.

At this moment, the green-haired man clasped one hand in front of his chest, and began to mutter something, and there was a burst of mysterious and incomprehensible incantations.

As the incantation sounded, countless cyan air currents spun and drilled towards his tightly clenched palm.

After a while, the green-haired man stopped chanting the incantation, and the hand on his chest suddenly stretched out.

Aw...

Hearing a whistling sound from the blue-haired man's mouth, his clenched fist suddenly opened, and a dark blue air current entrenched in his palm suddenly shot out from it.

As soon as the dark blue air flow was shot, it suddenly enlarged in the air, forming a blue dragon shadow in midair, twisting and twisting towards the low-lying area.

boom

A loud noise sounded, and the snow in the low-lying area exploded in all directions, and countless crystal clear snow mist powders floated in the air.

The snow and fog dissipated, and a huge hole suddenly appeared at the place bombarded by the blue dragon shadow.

An unexpected scene appeared!

A silver-gray vortex appeared in that hollow at some point, and the cyan dragon shadow was swimming and struggling in this vortex at the moment, and was being swallowed by the vortex bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye. (To be continued.)
