Chapter 81: One year later, rumors are spreading again! (Please read and save this article!)

"I got it!"

Just as Li Mufeng was about to take back the sixth-level demon pill, the old monster Qiong next to him spoke.

This was the setup he had set up in the first place. If it ended like this, he would be the one to be embarrassed.

After he finished speaking, a blood-colored elixir appeared in the old monster Qiong's hand. It was full of spiritual energy and overflowing with spirituality. It was obviously a rare item at first glance.

"Earth Blood Ginseng? Isn't this a coincidence?"

Seeing the elixir in Old Monster Qiong's hand, Li Mufeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Among the elixirs he mentioned just now, he actually ranked them according to their importance, and the one he wanted most was the Earth Blood Ginseng.

Because in addition to being the main ingredient of the Blood Yuan Pill, the Earth Blood Ginseng is also one of the main medicines that the Earth Yuan Pill lacks.

If we have this Earth Blood Ginseng, the main ingredients of the Earth Yuan Pill will be complete. The next step is to find those auxiliary ingredients that are not so precious.

He also has a plan to replenish spiritual medicines. He believes that if the plan is successfully implemented, those auxiliary medicines should be sufficient.

"In that case, I would like to thank you, Senior."

After saying this, Li Mufeng stretched out his hand, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Old Monster Qiong didn't hesitate and threw it over directly.

Seeing this, Lan Yu, who was off the field, assured the old monster Chaoqiong.

"Master, please rest assured that I will definitely give you the Earth Blood Ginseng and the Level 6 Demon Pill."

It is said that although the old monster Yi Qiong had a strange temper, he was very knowledgeable and treated his apprentice very well, almost treating him as his own descendant.

Lan Yu was also very moved.

"Just do your best, don't force yourself."

Old Monster Qiong was shooting himself in the foot. He originally wanted to see what Li Mufeng was capable of, but he didn't expect the other party to do this to him.

There must be other people at the scene who can take out the elixir, but why don’t they do it?

Do you really think that the cultivators of Tiansha Sect are so easy to deal with?

Everyone knows that Li Mufeng is not simple.

Who would be willing to be a sucker? Old Monster Qiong was tricked by himself. He didn't expect that this young man Li Mufeng would be so arrogant.

If someone provokes him, shouldn't he fight back?
Instead, he used his identity to play tricks.

"Friend Lan, come on."

Li Mufeng smiled and put his hands behind his back, his meaning was obvious.

Let me give you two hands.

"Insanity!"

Seeing Li Mufeng like this, Lan Yu was furious. Ever since he was accepted as a disciple by Old Monster Qiong, he had never been looked down upon like this.

Immediately, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, his breath disappeared without a trace, and the spiritual sense could not capture the other party's figure at all.

"It's the invisible escape technique!"

Someone yelled.

"interesting."

Li Mufeng had to admit that this invisible escape technique was indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful it was, it was just an escape technique.

He had already cultivated the Dayan Jue to the second level, and his spiritual awareness was extremely powerful, far surpassing Lan Yu.

In addition, he himself had not cultivated to a higher level, so once he was caught by Li Mufeng, Lan Yu would have no way to escape.

Faced with the disappearance of Lan Yu, Li Mufeng remained unmoved. He stood there with his eyes closed, motionless, as if he was asleep.

"How dare you! How dare you underestimate me!"

Seeing Li Mufeng's appearance, he immediately became furious.

Just when Lan Yu's emotions were getting a little out of control, Old Monster Qiong's face immediately changed.

"No! I fell into a trap!"

"Fellow Daoist Lan, you have practiced the Invisible Escape Technique quite well, but your emotional management seems to be a bit off. You are too easily affected by external things."

Li Mufeng, who was originally in the stands, had come behind Lan Yu without him noticing.

"you!"

Li Mufeng immediately stepped on Lan Yu's face and pushed him down.

"boom--"

The enormous force made the blue jade fall to the earth with a loud noise like a meteor.

Lan Yu, lying in the deep pit, was grinning, with a big shoe print on his face.

"Do you lose now?"

Everyone at the scene was stunned. This was a cultivator of the invisible escape technique!
Is this what it means to be defeated?!

They asked themselves how Li Mufeng could have found the monk from the Yanyue Sect if they had not discovered any trace of him just now.

When the Jindan cultivators at the scene saw this scene, they all secretly felt lucky that they did not respond to their foolish disciples.

"How was it, Senior? Did I win?"

Li Mufeng returned to the stage again in an instant, with his hands behind his back, motionless, and asked the old monster Qiong beside him.

"you win!"

It was impossible to tell whether Old Monster Qiong was happy or angry in his words.

"In that case, thank you for the Earth Blood Ginseng."

Li Mufeng had a smile on his face and looked at the other people present.

"If anyone else wants to challenge me, you can always come to me with the elixir. You're welcome."

"I am still very polite and friendly to others who give me elixirs."

"Arrogant! Too arrogant!"

Arrogant!

I didn't take them seriously at all.

But now no one dared to speak.

Now that Li Mufeng has real power, if they speak nonsense and are punished, it will be difficult for their master to ask them for mercy.

Han Li in the crowd also witnessed what had just happened.

He couldn't even find the monk from the Yanyue Sect just now, but he didn't expect that Li Mufeng could find him easily.

"Is it because of the Great Evolution?"

Thinking of the Dayan Jue he had exchanged from Li Mufeng, Han Li's heart became even more excited.

The benefits of having a strong spiritual awareness are too obvious, he must practice this Dayan Jue!

Although this would slow down his cultivation, with his powerful spiritual awareness, it would be easier for him to survive this war.

Having made up his mind, Han Li went in and out of the battlefield more frequently, killing demonic monks in preparation for vacation time.

After Li Mufeng gained real power in the seven sects' camps, the independent cultivators were finally able to hold their heads high and feel proud.

Now when they walk in the camps of the seven sects, they can occasionally say a few words to those arrogant monks from the sects.

Things are different now than in the past. The monks in the sect can only swallow their anger, pretend not to hear and walk away.

Thanks to Li Mufeng's huge merits for killing the Tiansha Sect cultivators, the independent cultivators ushered in their good days.

Even though the independent cultivators all said that they did not contribute much and all the merits should belong to Li Mufeng, this huge amount of merit was still divided equally among each of them.

What Li Mufeng needs now cannot be exchanged for these merits or something like that.

Didn’t you see that he obviously needed Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid, but no Jindan cultivator spoke up about it?

The merits of the Tiansha Sect cultivators had already skyrocketed after the Yanyue Sect incident. If the points of these dozens of Tiansha Sect cultivators were divided equally among the 17 independent cultivators, it would be a huge sum of money for each of them.

The independent cultivators went in and out of the camp market and the Merit Hall one after another, spending all their merits to find ways to improve their combat power.

Gongyang Jingshan, Tao Chang, Feng Ji, Fan Pei and others exchanged some elixirs and vacation time and went into seclusion, preparing to break through to the middle stage of foundation building.

When their cultivation reaches the middle stage of foundation building, with the talismans distributed to them by Li Mufeng, they will no longer be powerless to fight back when facing the Tiansha Sect cultivators again.

As soon as the casual cultivators finished a mission, they relied on a huge amount of points to welcome a vacation period of not too long or too short. On the other hand, Han Li also exchanged for a vacation period of one face and entered seclusion.

One year later.

In a pile of rocks at Jinguyuan on the border between Yue State and Cheqi State.

Han Li commanded two black lights transformed from the Oolong Sword and several golden blades to trap a Ghost Spirit Sect disciple who was in the early stage of foundation building and attacked him non-stop.

Now facing such an enemy again, Han Li seemed extremely relaxed and killed the Ghost Spirit Sect disciple without any effort.

Now his Qingyuan Sword Technique has reached the fifth level and broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. He has also cultivated the first level of Dayan Jue and his spiritual awareness has skyrocketed.

He also discovered that he seemed to have a unique talent in practicing this kind of spiritual power, and it was not as difficult as learning the five elements spells and practicing.

After easily dealing with the Ghost Spirit Sect disciple, Han Li drove the Divine Wind Boat back to his own camp.

As soon as he came back, he heard the monks from the surrounding sects talking.

"That group of casual cultivators haven't been on a mission for a year!"

"Why are we, the sect cultivators, fighting desperately with the demon cultivators in the front, while these independent cultivators are enjoying themselves in the back!"

A monk from the sect said angrily.

"What else could it be? It's Li Mufeng. He is very powerful, and his status is comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator. How can we, little foundation-building cultivators, compare to him?"

Another monk said in a sarcastic tone.

"What status is comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator? Isn't he also a foundation-building cultivator?"

"Why didn't I see you participating in the Jindan cultivators' competition in the evening?"

"He just shows off among us foundation-building cultivators."

The conversation between the two was not quiet, and Han Li had already mastered the first level of the Dayan Jue by this time, so his spiritual sense could hear it clearly.

Hearing these words, Han Li frowned. Recently, such rumors have begun to appear in the seven sects' camps.

Everyone pointed their finger at Li Mufeng.

Everyone was saying that since Li Mufeng's status was comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, why didn't he participate in the Jindan cultivator competition in the evening?
Instead, he has been hiding in the camps of the seven sects, making other monks fight to death.

There's clearly some conspiracy involved.

No one knows where the rumor came from, and it is impossible to find out.

After all, so many monks are involved. If they are really investigated, wouldn’t it shake the morale of the army?
But these people's purpose was very clear, which was to force Li Mufeng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to fight with a Core Formation cultivator.

"Go and meet him. It's a good opportunity to give him some of the spiritual medicine that has matured this year."

Han Li thought about it and decided to go find Li Mufeng again.

In fact, he had gone to look for him several times before, but each time he was told that Li Mufeng was in seclusion practicing and was not convenient to see anyone. Han Li didn't have anything particularly urgent, so he left.

The closer to the territory of the independent cultivators, the more people will talk about how Li Mufeng's status is not up to par.

When he arrived outside the camp of independent cultivators, Han Li happened to see a sect cultivator and an independent cultivator fighting.

The reason was that the wandering cultivators heard from the sect cultivators that Li Mufeng was sitting in a high position but not fulfilling his duties, and was suspected of being a figurehead.

The casual cultivator immediately started arguing with the cultivator from the sect.

The monks of the sect have long been unhappy with these wandering cultivators. They have not carried out any missions for nearly a year, relying on the merit rewards they received from the Tiansha Sect.

None of the monks in their sect have received such treatment, and they have been unhappy for a long time.

So the two of them started fighting, but soon people from both sides took their opponents back.

The independent cultivator here was Gongyang Jingshan, whose cultivation had already reached the middle stage of foundation building, the same as Han Li's.

On the sect's side, it was Zhou Qingning from the Yanyue Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Gongyang, may I ask if Brother Feng has come out of retreat?"

"Ah, it's Brother Han. Lord Mu Feng has just come out of confinement. Let me take you in."

When Gongyang Jingshan saw that the person coming was Han Li, a smile appeared on his face.

Many of the cultivators from the seven sects were prejudiced against these independent cultivators, but there were also many who were on good terms with them, and Han Li in front of him was one of them.

In the tent, Han Li met Li Mufeng, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Xiao Han, long time no see."

"Brother Feng, this is the Spirit-Feeding Pill you requested. I have already refined some of it for you to practice with."

The two men greeted each other when they met, and then Han Li handed Li Mufeng seven storage bags.

Among these seven storage bags, one was filled with Soul-Feeding Pills, and the other six were filled with spiritual medicines and other things.

This was the elixir that Han Li had promised to help ripen from Li Mufeng in exchange for the Dayan Jue. However, due to lack of time, this was only a part of it.

"Oh, not bad."

Taking the storage bag that Han Li handed over, Li Mufeng opened the one containing the Soul-Feeding Pills and took out some of them.

Then Li Mufeng took out several of his spirit beast bags.

Two yellow-orange dog-like monsters and three cat-like monsters of different colors ran out, all of them looked to be at the middle and upper levels of the first level.

These cats and dogs are the offspring of the monsters that were previously subdued in Lanzhou.

Their parents have now reached the level of fourth-level monsters, but these monsters are just ordinary monsters, and fourth level is the limit they can reach.

If it weren't for Li Mufeng's wood essence, it would probably not be so easy to reach level four.

However, because these cubs have absorbed Li Mufeng's wood essence, their talents will be much better than their parents, but they can probably only hover around level five or six.

Li Mufeng couldn't keep them with him all the time, as that would do them no good.

These little guys seemed to like the Soul-Feeding Pills in Li Mufeng's hand very much, and they finished eating more than ten of them in a short while.

After eating, it stretched out its pink little paws and stretched itself, then it tilted its head and fell asleep on the ground with its arms and legs spread out.

After seeing these little guys fall asleep, Li Mufeng smiled and put them back in his spirit beast bag. Then he released a few Thunder Pattern Pythons. These two Thunder Pattern Pythons had reached the third level. After feeding them some Spirit Feeding Pills, he put them back into his storage bag.

Next came six golden monkey monsters.

The leading one is level four, and the remaining five are level two.

These golden monkey monsters are probably only level five or six at most.

After feeding the golden monkey, Li Mufeng put away the Soul-Feeding Pills and released some silver insects.

Han Li looked carefully and saw that these silver lights were actually flying insects the size of soybeans. Except for a pair of fangs visible to the naked eye, their appearance was no different from ordinary beetles. There was really nothing special about them.

Han Li was a little confused. These little bugs didn't seem to have any fighting power, but after thinking about the cats, dogs and monkeys before, he didn't think there was anything strange. Perhaps this was Li Mufeng's unique hobby.

This time, Han Li saw Li Mufeng take out some special spiritual herbs and feed them to them.

Seeing Li Mufeng feeding cats and dogs here, and then raising insects after feeding the monkeys, and it seemed that he had not heard the news at all, Han Li looked a little worried and couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Feng, you must have heard the rumors in the camp recently, right?"

"Someone wants to force you to fight a Jindan cultivator. The situation is a bit bad."

"Now the rumor has spread throughout the camp. If you don't find a way to stop it, it may become impossible to control it."

A lot of things actually happened during this year.

The biggest event for the seven sects is that old monster Qiong from the Yanyue Sect has returned to the sect.

I heard that he was injured.

This will greatly reduce the Jindan strength of the seven sects!

The one who took over the position of Old Monster Qiong was Hong Fu, the first person in Huangfeng Valley to reach the Jindan stage.

Although Hongfu's strength is quite good, she is no match for Old Monster Qiong.

Therefore, over the years, the battle for the formation of elixir between the seven sects and the demonic sect has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

The Demonic Path seemed to feel that it had secured a victory over the Three Kingdoms coalition forces of Yue State, so it had withdrawn the Tiansha Sect to other more intense battlefields, letting the Guiling Sect take over the Tiansha Sect as the leader, with some Jindan cultivators from the Hehuan Sect and the Yuling Sect as the auxiliary.

But even so, the seven sects are no match for them.

Therefore, the seven sects are becoming more and more resentful towards Li Mufeng, a man whose status is comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator but who does nothing at all!

If the person who came was a true Jindan, rather than Li Mufeng's so-called status comparable to that of a Jindan, their current situation should be much better.

They seemed to blame Li Mufeng for their predicament.

Instead of elevating yourself, it is better to belittle others!
