Chapter 605 - Five-element Five-Colored Flag"Five-element Five-Colored Flag, the Five Elements Flags replica of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure, gathering the five elements to guard the five forces. It is a comprehensive spirit treasure that combines defense, attack, formation, and restriction into one!"
Interesting, I never thought that the old guy Jin Xue would leave me such a big gift after he died. Hehe, with so many materials of the five elements, I"m really only missing a few mystical crystal of five elements, what a big gift from the heavens!
On the ground in front of him, there was a large pile of precious materials. These materials varied in all kinds of ways, but there was one thing common to all of them, and that was that they were all part of the five elements, and the majority of them were all rare, high-grade materials. At the very least, it would not be an easy matter for ordinary cultivators to gather one or two of them.
Although the quant.i.ty was not much, it was necessary to refine a Five-element Five-Colored Flag. The items on the ground and the jade slips in Li Mu"s hands all came from Jin Xue"s storage ring, and other than the tens of thousands of crystal s and a few common pills, what remained in Jin Xue"s storage ring were all the things that were on the ground in front of him.
Tens of thousands of crystal were not many to a level 5 transformational demon like Jin Xue, it could even be said that there were very few of them. Li Mu guessed that had spent more than half of his fortune gathering to refine this Five-element Five-Colored Flag.
Ever since he roamed around the Baocheng"s marketplace during the day, in the evening, Li Mu and the others arrived at the City Lord"s Mansion under the lead of Yan Hongyuan. After partic.i.p.ating in a feast, Li Mu went to the house that the City Lord"s Mansion had arranged for him.Returning to the house, Li Mu had nothing to do, so he opened up Jin Xue"s storage ring, and there was a pile of items on the ground in front of him along with a jade scroll in his hand.
This jade slip recorded a method to refine a spiritual treasure called the Five-element Five-Colored Flag. This Five-element Five-Colored Flag was a copy of the Five Elements Flag.
Looking at the pile of materials in front of him and the jade slips in his hands, Li Mu hesitated a little. He wondered if he should refine this Five-element Five-Colored Flag into her own Intrinsic Soul Treasure, he already had both extermination hammer and Great Brahma Seal, but these two treasures were merely imitation Heavenly Spirit Treasure s, the difference between them and the Heavenly Spirit Treasure s was actually very large. They were not as powerful as the real Heavenly Spirit Treasure s like the Immortal Slaying Gourd."Sigh!" Bai Xiaosheng said that he would be able to get me the Stellar jadeite in at most three to five years. The Eastern Emperor Bell, ah, the Eastern Emperor Bell, for you, I will drag it out for you. I hope you can bear the t.i.tle of third in the Heavenly Spirit Treasure s ranks, it"s not like you waited for me for nothing! "
After hesitating for a while, Li Mu made up his mind. Although it was not bad to be able to refine a Five-element Five-Colored Flag into a Intrinsic Soul Treasure from a close distance, a replica was still a replica and there was still a big difference between it and a real Heavenly Spirit Treasure. Take Immortal Slaying Gourd for example, one could tell from the name that a truly mastered Heavenly Spirit Treasure slaying an Immortal Gourd could even behead off a legendary immortal.
Furthermore, the Immortal Slaying Gourd"s ranking might not even compare to the Eastern Emperor Bell, so Li Mu still firmly used the Eastern Emperor Bell as his own Intrinsic Soul Treasure. According to the records of the A Book of Records of the Heavens, when the Eastern Emperor Bell reached large success, it could open up and destroy a new realm, and although to reach that height, it had to at least become a Divine Artifact, if Li Mu was lucky enough to enter the True Immortal Realm, the Eastern Emperor Bell would definitely become a Divine Artifact.This was also the reason why Li Mu only refined two Spirit Treasures, the extermination hammer and the Great Brahma Seal. This was because if there were too many Spirit Treasures, it would require a large amount of True Origin and time to refine them. If he did not refine them, as his cultivation grew higher, and as the rank of the Spirit Treasure did not change, it would be useless.
Li Mu did not plan to immediately refine this Five-element Five-Colored Flag, it was comparable to refining normal spirit treasures, it would take a lot of time and effort, Li Mu was prepared to wait until he had settled down before considering refining this treasure. Although he did not plan to use it as a Intrinsic Soul Treasure, a Heavenly Spirit Treasure replica was still worth Li Mu spending his time and energy to refine."Li Mu, are you there?"
Just as Li Mu was about to store the materials on the ground into his storage ring, Zhang Mengjiao"s voice came from outside the room.
"Here!" "Wait a moment."Li Mu packed up the jade slip in his hand along with the materials on the floor, and then immediately opened the door.
When the door opened, Li Mu saw Zhang Mengjiao standing alone at the entrance smiling at him, but the smile looked a little like a forced smile, which made Li Mu a little suspicious, but he still invited him into the room.
"Why are you looking for me so late at night?"
Zhang Mengjiao kept feeling that the other party had something on her mind as she smiled at him. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have come looking for him so late into the night.
Zhang Mengjiao smiled and said, "Tomorrow, Grandfather and I will be preparing to return to Sunset Rain Thunder Mountain. Before we leave, I will come to bid you farewell.""Leaving tomorrow? "Is it really that urgent?" Li Mu did not expect Zhang Mengjiao to leave the next day. This was a little too hasty, after all, they had already been together for a period of time.
"Mn, after returning this time, I prepared to undergo closed-door cultivation to attack Tongxuan realm. My grandfather prepared a batch of pills for me, and he hoped that I could peacefully break through to the Nascent Profound in the Twilight Thunder Mountain. That"s why I didn"t reject him."
Zhang Mengjiao"s smile faded, and her face revealed traces of worry.
Since we"ve chosen this path, we should be able to continue on without holding back. Don"t worry, once I have time, I will go to the Twilight Thunder Mountain to see you. After all, aren"t we such good friends of life and death?Li Mu smiled and comforted Zhang Mengjiao.
"Then I"ll remember. This time, I"ll be waiting for you at the Twilight Thunder Mountain after we return. Don"t miss your appointment. After all, you"re not very reliable. Last time, you gave me such a big misunderstanding in the Spirit Wine Paradise."
Upon hearing that Li Mu would visit him whenever he had the time, Zhang Mengjiao"s face revealed a smile, and even teased Li Mu a little.
Last time, wasn"t it just a misunderstanding? Why are you still being so fussy with me? Since we"re already separating, can"t you say a few words to make me happy. Even if you don"t want to say anything good, you can say something else.
Li Mu rolled his eyes at Zhang Mengjiao, he did not expect that he would still remember what happened so long ago.
Zhang Mengjiao suddenly frowned. After hesitating for a while, she asked hesitantly: "Wooden, can you tell me, what grudge do you have with Heartless Palace?"
"Heartless Palace! Why do you ask, do you know something! "When Li Mu heard the two words "Heartless Palace", his expression immediately changed, and his tone became somewhat low and deep.
Seeing Li Mu"s change in expression, Zhang Mengjiao hurriedly explained, "I … The thing is, three years ago, when I was still at the Dusk Thunder Mountain, I heard about you being surrounded and attacked by people from the Shen family five years ago. At that time, I was also worried about your safety, so I went down the mountain."Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets? "You really do have a way, you actually know where to go, and you"re not stupid at all. That Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets doesn"t have any other abilities, but when it comes to finding information or something, they do have some ability. What did you learn from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?"
Li Mu was naturally familiar with the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Back then, when he had travelled thousands of miles from Chu to the Qin Nation, he had went to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to inquire about his parents.
Zhang Mengjiao replied without any hesitation: "The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets isn"t very clear on your whereabouts either, but they gave me a general idea of where you are. They say that the Heartless Palace has always been secretly targeting you, and that the Ten Nations Merchant Union"s bounty was initiated by the Heartless Palace behind the scenes, that"s why I know that you and the Heartless Palace must have some sort of grudge."
"It seems that you know quite a lot. Other than that, do you know anything else? With your intellect, it"s impossible that you couldn"t guess anything wrong. Can"t you think too much about me, a young disciple of the Gold Jade Sect, being able to get her to pay so much attention to me? "
Li Mu did not explain anything to Zhang Mengjiao, but smiled at him teasingly.
"I... So I still wish for you to tell me personally, because I feel that as a true life and death friend, you shouldn"t hide this from me, after all, you have offended the Heartless Palace, and this is not a small matter. From the way she went to the Shen family that day, it can be seen that the grudge between you and them is not just a little deep. "
Li Mu said with a grave expression on his face. Li Mu could tell that Zhang Mengjiao was hoping that she could tell the truth.
Li Mu fell silent as he looked at the serious face of Zhang Mengjiao. He was conflicted on how he should handle the other party; after all, there was information regarding his own background that he did not want too many people to know about.
After being conflicted for a while, Li Mu was finally convinced by Zhang Mengjiao"s pair of eyes that flickered with light. He activated a Dao talisman that could cut off the probing of Spiritual Awareness, and transformed into a white light shield to envelop herself and Zhang Mengjiao. Then, Li Mu started to explain the grudge between him and Heartless Palace from beginning to end."If not for the fact that my big brother and the experts of the Zongtian Violet Thunder Sect and the elders of the Gold Jade Sect were protecting me with their lives, it would have been impossible for me to escape. Later on, I ran into Qing Er and Master on the way back, and they saved me and brought me back to the Spirit Wine Paradise. You should know about the rest of it."
Li Mu spent approximately the time it took for an incense to burn to explain the grudge between him and the Heartless Palace to Zhang Mengjiao, but what made Li Mu speechless was that after hearing what he had to say, Zhang Mengjiao actually did not display even the slightest bit of shock or surprise.
"I"m done …"
Seeing that there was not the slightest change in Zhang Mengjiao"s expression, Li Mu waved her hand in front of Zhang Mengjiao"s eyes and said."I"m listening." Zhang Mengjiao slapped Li Mu"s hand away, and replied Li Mu indifferently.
"En..." Shouldn"t you be surprised or shocked? " Li Mu smiled helplessly.
"Why should I be surprised? Although what you said is a bit different from what I"ve guessed, it"s not far from the truth. However, what surprised me was that you were actually willing to tell me such an important matter."
Zhang Mengjiao said with a smile. Her expression changed so quickly that Li Mu couldn"t even catch up with him. She couldn"t help but sigh in her heart, this woman"s change in att.i.tude was really like flipping a book.
"You are my friend, I trust you. We have experienced so many lives and deaths together, don"t tell me I"m afraid that you will betray me. If that"s the case, then I"m blind."Li Mu said indifferently, he then removed the light barrier that cut off his consciousness, and started to move his body.
"At least you"re sensible. In order to thank you for giving me your trust, I decided to give you a big gift. I wonder if you want it?"
Zhang Mengjiao looked at Li Mu who was feigning boredom and said with a smile that was not a smile...
