It was almost noon, and Mu Tian was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Only when a burst of noise came from outside the yard did he wake up. Mu Tian got up drowsily and rubbed his head. He drank a little too much yesterday, so the brothers played a little too crazily. It was too sexy. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but blush and feel his heart beat faster.
When Mu Tian walked out of the room, he saw a steward of the clan bringing a few servants in to his courtyard to carry the elixirs. It turned out that the Tianbao Hall's elixirs had arrived.
Wu Tie greeted the steward and told everyone to move the spiritual herbs into the pill concocting room. After the steward led the group away, Mu Tian took a look and found the problem. It seemed like Administer Yang had turned Mu Tian's fifty Earth Spiritual Pill into elixirs and sent them over as well. Mu Tian shook his head, it seemed that he could only return the favor in the future.
The reason why Mu Tian traded the Earth Spiritual Pill in his hands for elixirs for elixirs was because he had some ulterior motives. Since he was already a Tier 2 or 6 pill refiner, in theory, he should be able to refine a Tier 2 or 6 Earth Spiritual Pill. Although the effects of the Tier 2 or 5 Earth Spiritual Pill are about the same, there is still a small gap.
After Mu Tian washed up, he casually ate something and went into the Pill Refining Room to concoct pills. This time, he did not come out until the morning of the third day. In these two days and two nights, Mu Tian had refined more than two hundred and eighty second grade sixth level Earth Spiritual Pill. Because he had tried breaking through to the sixth level from the second rank fifth stage, he had to expend some spiritual medicine. However, he was still quite satisfied with the result.
After resting, Mu Tian went to the clan to collect the cultivation technique "Piling" mentioned by the ancestor to comprehend. Hearing this name, Mu Tian wondered why "Piling" looked like the work of a farmer, it didn't seem like a cultivation technique for cultivators at all.
In less than two meals, Mu Tian had comprehended this technique called "Piling" and closed the book. Mu Tian could not help but smile. This skill really had an unsightly image. Cultivators needed to have three palaces and nine orifices in order to be able to absorb spiritual energy into their body. This technique was similar to that of a farmer who repeatedly trained to refine nine orifices, making them more suitable to absorb spiritual energy into the body. Then, he would use the spiritual energy within the nine orifices to temper the three palaces, allowing them to contain more spiritual energy.
This "staking" cultivation technique was easy to cultivate, but it was also the most boring and boring one. Luckily, Mu Tian had the experience of comprehending Secret Scripture, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Until the noon of the fifth day. Mu Tian was resting and eating lunch when he saw Mu Dahai walk into the yard. He hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother Hai is here, let's eat together!"
"Thank you, Young Master Tian, I've already eaten!" Mu Dahai replied, he raised his hand and handed over a Jade Slip, "Lord Patriarch told me to gift this to Young Master Tian, Lord Patriarch ordered you to cultivate diligently, to keep it safe, you must not lose it!"
Mu Tian took it over with both hands, "Mu Tian will remember Patriarch's orders! Thank you, Brother Hai! "
Mu Dahai smiled, "Young Master Tian is too courteous!" With that, he turned around and left. Mu Tian walked into the Quiet Room with the Jade Slip and casually locked the door, preparing to start comprehending the new Secret Scripture.
Mu Tian sat cross-legged and looked at the Jade Slip in his hand. The words "Green Wood Divine Art" immediately appeared in the Spiritual Sense and Mu Tian could not help but smile. Since it was called a godly art, it must not be simple anymore.
It turned out that this "Green Wood Divine Art" was a divine art that strengthened a cultivator's physique through cultivation, thereby increasing their lifespan. According to the Secret Scripture, the first three levels of cultivation were all for laying the foundation. Starting from the fourth level, each level would allow one's lifespan to increase by ten years. Although this kind of godly technique wasn't very attractive to young people like Mu Tian as they were, after all, still young, to people like the ancestors of the various families, it was still a Secret Scripture that could only be found by chance. Ten years, maybe he could have a new breakthrough in the cultivation level, and then, because of the increase in the cultivation level, he could increase his lifespan even further! If he could cultivate a few more levels, it could increase his lifespan by a dozen or even several decades!
Time quickly passed by and on that day, Mu Tian finally walked out from the Quiet Room. He had already comprehended the first level of the Green Wood Divine Art. Mu Tian hurriedly walked towards Mu Wen's courtyard. He didn't know how much time had passed since he started meditating. Mu Wen must have been getting anxious from waiting.
As he entered Mu Wen's courtyard, he saw the two brothers Mu Wen and Mu Wu practicing together. Mu Tian became excited at once, pulled out his Blazing Blade and rushed forward, together with Mu Wu, they launched a pincer attack on Mu Wen.
"Good job!" Mu Wen laughed.
"One up and one down!" Mu Wu shouted.
"Alright!" Mu Tian responded and brandished his blade to take the next three paths of Mu Wen.
After a dozen or so rounds of sparring with their swords, Mu Wen's opening fooled Mu Tian, so he turned around and kicked Mu Tian away.
Mu Wen laughed, "Brat, your combat experience is too poor. If you have time, why don't you practice more?"
Mu Tian stood up and said: "Brother Wen, I'm ready. I can go to Wangjing anytime, what about you guys?"
Mu Wu said loudly, "We were prepared a long time ago. We were waiting for you! "Last time, you said that you'll be leaving in half a month. It's been a few days!"
Mu Tian said with an apologetic smile, "I forgot the time when I comprehended this cultivation technique. I'm sorry!"
Mu Wen said, "Meditating on cultivation techniques is a serious matter. Leaving early for a few days and leaving late for a few days are not important!"
"Brother Wen is still the best!" Mu Tian said as he turned his head to Mu Wu and said, "Humph!"
Mu Wen said, "If you are sure that you are ready, we will set off tomorrow! It just so happens that I have to bid farewell to my family and friends! "
Mu Tian said, "Brother Wen is right! We'll meet at the city gate tomorrow morning. I'll go and cheer for my brothers again! " Before he could finish his words, he had already dashed out of the yard.
Mu Tian returned to his yard first. Other than packing the clothes that he carried with him, he found that there wasn't much else to pack up. As for the pill furnace, it was slightly conflicted. This fellow was a bit too heavy, so it was really inconvenient for him. However, he was an apothecary, so he was reluctant to leave.
Mu Tian went out, found a clan overseer, and gave him two Earth Spiritual Pill s. He asked the overseer to help him trade for three strong gnus in the clan, and then sent the gnus and furnace to the city gate tomorrow morning. The steward cheerfully agreed. An ordinary gnus would not be more than a few dozen Spiritual Stone, and the best would be more than fifty.
Mu Tian returned to his ancestral house and sat down. There was nothing valuable here, it was just daily necessities, all memories and thoughts.
Mu Tian had almost no impression of his mother, and his father was only a vague figure. All he could remember was his grandfather, the one who brought him up with his head full of white hair and painstaking efforts.
Mu Tian found a familiar clan member and gave him a few Earth Spiritual Pill s to take care of the ancestral home. He would often clean and fix them, and when would he be able to return to there? After all, Wangjing was a long way off, and if he succeeded, he might not be able to return for three to five years.
Mu Tian also bought some offerings and came to Mu Family Ancestor's Tomb. All of Mu Family's deceased clansmen were buried here. Mu Tian went to worship in front of the ancestor's grave. This was the first ancestor that came to Dragon City with Mu Family, which was the common ancestor of everyone in Dragon City. Then he paid his respects to his parents, and finally came to his grandfather's grave. He arranged the offerings, kneeled down in front of the grave, and said in a low voice, and reported his recent achievements to his grandfather to comfort the spirit in heaven. He also said that he was about to go on a long journey, and asked for mercy. After saying that, Mu Tian leaned on his grandpa's tombstone and sat for a long time. Then, he kowtowed three more times before leaving.
The morning sun shone down on the room. Mu Tian got up from the bed drowsily. Last night, he had a party with Sun Tie and the others and drank a little too much. They all stayed in the Drunken Red House and were still feeling dizzy even now. Mu Tian sat cross-legged and began to meditate. Around the time of the meal, he stood up and felt refreshed. He then went to the room on the left and right to take a look. Seeing that Mu Feng, Zhou Tie and the others were still sleeping soundly, he did not want to disturb them. Thinking about it, Mu Wen and Mu Wu had already gone to the city gate to wait for him. Mu Tian also rushed there without eating breakfast.
Before they reached the city gate, they saw a group of people gathered in the distance. Mu Tian guessed it must be Mu Wen, Mu Wu, and his family and friends, so he sped up his pace and rushed over.
When they got closer, they saw that the people who surrounded them were City Lord Liu Chengri and City Lord's Mansion Miss Liu Chengyun. Mu Tian immediately bowed and said, "Mu Tian pays his respect to City Lord and Young Miss!"
Liu Chengri laughed, "Mu Tian, I've already said this to you a few times, why are you still so distant? Just call me Big Bro!"
Mu Tian quickly changed his words, "Hello, Brother! I wonder why big brother is here today? "
Liu Chengri said: "I heard that you brothers are going to the Wangjing. Firstly, I came to send you off, and secondly, my little sister Chengyun also just so happens to be going to the Wangjing. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to travel together with you?"
"Miss Chengyun is going to the Wangjing!" Mu Tian was surprised. Not only Mu Tian, even the surrounding people were shocked. This news came too suddenly.
Liu Chengri nodded, "Yes! There are some things in the clan that I need to take care of on my way back! "
Mu Tian looked at Mu Wen, saw the latter nodding slightly, and laughed: "It is our honor to be able to travel with Miss Chengyun! It's just that our cultivation level is too low, and we have a long way to go to Wangjing. If there's someone who is in danger, I'm afraid we brothers might not be able to protect the young miss! "
Mu Tian was right, his own cultivation level was not considered an expert, although Mu Wen had made a big breakthrough, he was only third stage fourth stage, as for Mu Wu, he was only third stage second stage, this level of cultivation level was not too bad in the Dragon City, after leaving the Dragon City, he was not considered an expert.
"There's no need for us brothers to worry about little sister's safety. I have my own preparations!" As Liu Chengri said this, he turned around and waved his hand. Two people rushed into the crowd, "These two are Feng Qiang and Ma Wei. They will be responsible for my safety!"
This time, Mu Tian did not answer, as he could not see the depth of these two people's cultivation level. He guessed that they must be stronger than him, so he looked towards Mu Wen, waiting for his response.
Mu Wen took two steps forward and said: "City Lord's Mansion is truly filled with experts. These two people's cultivation level are even higher than mine, so naturally, they can protect the young miss. I'm afraid us two brothers will have to rely on you two on our journey!"
Feng Qiang and Ma Wei didn't say anything. They only glanced at Mu Wen and Mu Tian with a face full of arrogance. In this world, strength was everything, and the Mu Family brothers didn't care at all.
Liu Chengri laughed and said, "Brother Mu Wen, what are you talking about? You should take care of each other on the way together!" Moreover, half of my reason for going to Wangjing is for Mu Tian! "
Mu Tian just smiled awkwardly and did not reply.
These words were a bit ambiguous, causing everyone to daydream for a moment. It was hard to avoid some people thinking wrongly. City Lord's Mansion and Tianbao Hall recommending Mu Tian at the same time was a very secretive matter, only a few core members knew about it. Although Mu Wen knew about it, it was not convenient for him to say it.
That manager was also smart. He knew that he had taken advantage of Mu Tian, and he also knew that Mu Tian would have a bright future after that, so he had the intention of making friends with him. He specially prepared a lot of food to bring, which made Mu Tian have a good impression of him.
The two brothers, Mu Wen and Mu Wu, were afraid that Mu Tian was only interested in having fun and neglected the matter of preparing a long journey, so they also prepared three gnus and brought a lot of food. As a result, the three of them had six gnus. He had been worried about the food prepared by his family and friends, but now it was much more convenient.
Other than the two guards, Liu Miss Chengyun also brought a maid with her. Although there were four of them, she had prepared ten gnus with a large amount of food and greetings.
Everyone greeted each other again before bidding their farewells and leaving. The party of seven, with sixteen gnus in tow, did indeed have a sense of majesty.
