Chapter 48: Separation of Immortals and Chivalry

However, what Xu Mu saw was completely different.

After using the Heaven's Eye Technique, Xu Mu immediately realised that at least a large part of this bloated and incomparable mountain foot was an illusion, and at the real foot of the mountain was a tall building in the middle.

In this piece of architecture, pavilions, flying springs and waterfalls varied as if it were a heavenly realm on earth, and it was no better than any of the peaks of Tailing Mountain.

What surprised Xu Mu was that since there were Immortal Cultivators here, why didn't they build the sect on top of the mountain, and instead built it at the foot of the mountain, which was very different from the practice of Tailing Mountain.

He was using his Heaven's Eye Technique to investigate the situation there when he saw a man dressed as a cultivator fly over from a distance and appear in front of the two of them in a short time.

Li Yanmo was immediately startled when he saw someone drilling out of the mountain, and only sighed in relief when he saw Xu Mu look as if he was expecting it.

"This Taoist friend used the Heaven's Eye Technique to check out my Fort Kaiyang, what is going on?" The man asked indifferently, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

Xu Mu awkwardly touched his nose and laughed, "Well said, my name is Xu Mu, Dao Number Firewood Zi, my teacher is the Heavenly Flame Realist from the Red Flame Peak of Tai Ling Mountain, and it was my master who ordered me to come and participate in the Spirit Trial Conference.

The disciple was stunned by his words and immediately exclaimed, "So it's Senior Brother Xu, please come in quickly, my name is Sun Wei, I received my master's order a long time ago, and I've been waiting here for a long time!As the group walked and chatted, Xu Mu heard from Sun Wei's mouth that Liu Yan had actually arrived at Kaiyang Fortress half a month ago, and that he did not know if he had been busy with other things or had not gone at all.

Not long after, Sun Wei took the confused Xu Mu to an attic.

As soon as he arrived there, before he could find someone to deliver the message, Liu Yan sensed Xu Mu's aura and flew out of the attic.

When he saw the burly Liu Yan, he laughed: "Xu Mu, you can finally come, the Teacher has been waiting for you here for more than half a month, if you don't come back, the Teacher might have to go out and look for you!

Xu Mu smiled helplessly and said, "The disciple has met the master, I ran into a little trouble on the way and made the master wait for a long time!"

Liu Yan then laughed, "I can see that your cultivation has improved again, this journey must not have been peaceful, right?"

Saying that, he also turned his head and rushed towards Sun Wei, "Little fellow, you retreat first!"

Seeing that Liu Yan favoured Xu Mu so much, a hint of envy flashed in Sun Wei's eyes as he bowed and said, "Disciple will retreat!"

After saying that, Sun Wei turned into a hermit and left.

Liu Yan, on the other hand, looked at Li Yanmo curiously and said, "Why aren't you leaving? Didn't I say that I don't need mortal helpers here?

Li Yanmo was stunned by his words, not expecting that he, a martial arts master, would actually be called a handyman. Xu Mu saw this and laughed, "Master, this is a life and death friend I made on my travels, Brother Li, come over and meet Master!""My name is Li Yanmo, I have met Immortal Master!" Li Yanmo had also heard Xu Mu say that his master was a JieDan stage cultivator, so naturally he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he busied himself by stepping forward and saying respectfully.

"Since you are Mu'er's life and death friend, come in!" Liu Yan waved his hand indifferently and turned around to enter the attic.

A few moments later, Liu Yan knew from Xu Mu's mouth the reason why he had brought Li Yanmo to pay his respects, and his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.

"Master, is it possible that you don't know the Spirit Determination Technique either?" Xu Mu asked curiously at this sight.

Liu Yan smiled and scolded with a laugh for no good reason, "Step aside, how is it possible that Master doesn't know this kind of simple spell, it's just that the path of cultivation is not as simple as you think."

"Even though your brother Li has a spiritual root, he has long since missed the best time to cultivate, and I'm afraid there's no way he can lay a foundation in his whole life."

"But once you enter the Immortal Way, you will have an unpredictable future in the future, so instead of dying to fight for that small sliver of hope, it would be better to be a good mortal and take care of your days."

Li Yanmo, who heard these words, knew that Liu Yan was kindly advising him, but the obsession in his heart was not gone, and respectfully said, "Immortal Master, please test for me!"

"That's all, since it was Mu'er who opened her mouth, then I will test for you, but there are so many people in the world, and not one in a hundred has a spiritual root, so you must not have too deep an obsession." Liu Yan sighed and said. As he said this, Liu Yan's hand suddenly emitted a red light that rushed straight into Li Yanmo's body.A muffled grunt came from Li Yanmo's mouth, and his body collapsed to the ground, seemingly in great pain.

Xu Mu was startled by the sight and said hastily, "Master, this is ..."

Liu Yan interrupted him and said, "There is no need to worry, he is just too old, so there is too much cloudy qi in his body, in order to measure the spiritual root, this part of the cloudy qi needs to be cleared first.

Xu Mu nodded his head after hearing this, then he remembered that when he tested his spiritual root, there seemed to be a little bit of pain as well, but it was just very weak and could be ignored.

In that case, it must have been because he was young and had less cloudy qi in his body at that time, which was why it was so easy to test his Spirit Root.

A few moments later, the spiritual light on Li Yanmo's body dissipated, and from the beginning to the end, no strange changes were transmitted from his body.

Based on Xu Mu's experience, this seemed to mean that Li Yanmo did not have a spirit root.

After the spiritual light dissipated, Li Yanmo also quickly came to his senses and felt a wave of refreshment, as if something had been vaguely expelled from his body.

Although he didn't know if he had a spiritual root or not, as a martial arts practitioner, he certainly knew that such a change would be beneficial to him, and immediately said respectfully to Liu Yan: "Thank you, Immortal Master, for casting the spell!"

Liu Yan smiled at his words and said, "There's no need to be polite, but there's no Spirit Root in your body to cultivate, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you on that point."

"Ah?" Li Yanmo sniffed and immediately froze.After a long time, Li Yanmo came to his senses and looked at Xu Mu with both reluctance and helplessness in his eyes.

Xu Mu stepped forward and held Li Yanmo's wrist, "Brother Li!"

Li Yanmo didn't say anything, just gave Xu Mu a grateful look and retreated without a word.

That night, Li Yanmo came to Xu Mu's room with a number of papers in his hands, all of which were densely written in small fly-headed characters.

After Xu Mu welcomed Li Yanmo into his room, Li Yanmo handed the papers to Xu Mu and said, "Brother Xu, this body technique recipe is something I received from the Jade Sword, and I hope it can help you.

"What?" Xu Mu was instantly startled when he heard that it was actually this thing, and hurriedly waved his hand to reject it, "What does Brother Li mean by that?"

Li Yanmo smiled bitterly, "Brother Xu doesn't need to be polite, there's still one thing I want."

"There is something, Brother Li, but there's no harm in saying it, there's no need for this password!" Xu Mu folded the paper and handed it back to Li Yanmo.

Seeing this, Li Yanmo smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Xu, how about you listen to me first and then decide whether to accept this recipe or not?"
