The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 708 Reminder

Time passed very quickly.

Undercurrents were still simmering in the Imperium Vulpes Divine City.

However, since Bi Yan, the Green Fox God, showed up and issued the divine edict that temporarily deterred various powers, no Heavenly Legend had been attacked or assassinated. Everything seemed to have returned to its normal, calm state.

Bi Yan investigated the previous murders of Heavenly Legends and found some clues.

The bases of several assassins had been identified, but there was no conclusive information on whether the Dark Sect was responsible or not.

The Green Fox Temple had been keeping this matter a secret and investigating it secretly.

Li Mu did not care much about what was happening out there.

He practiced hard every day.

His natural qi and cultivation level were growing rapidly.

The effects of dual cultivation with a Natural Taoist Figure were really extraordinary.

As expected, the level of Li Mu’s Xiantian Skill reached a higher level.

It was the first time that Li Mu had improved the Xiantian Skill to a new level without going through a life-and-death battle.

More natural qi channels had formed like capillaries in his body. Many of them had not been discovered before, and they had not even been recorded in the many martial arts books and documents in the Ziwei Star Zone.

However, what Li Mu was a little surprised about was that after his Xiantian Skill reached a new level, his Third Eye did not experience any mutation again and it was still the “Eye of Flaws”.

“It seems that the mutation and improvement of my Third Eye may not necessarily happen every time I improve my Xiantian Skill. From clairvoyance at the beginning through the Eye of Thunderbolts to the Eye of Flaws, my Gazing Skill has already reached a terrifying level. If I’m not mistaken, the powers of my Eye of Thunderbolts and Eye of Flaws should have increased greatly after this breakthrough.”

Without a suitable opponent for testing the power of those skills, Li Mu could only guess based on his feeling.

The Xiantian Skill was a kind of magical skill that could nourish qi. Every time it reached a new level, it could cause the Third Eye to mutate or increase the power of the Third Eye. Besides that, its most important function was to create more natural qi channels in the body.

It was said that a master in the King Realm usually had thirty-six thousand natural qi channels in the body.

According to the martial arts theory in the Ziwei Star Zone, with more natural qi channels in one’s body, the physical body would be better nourished, the power released by the physical body would be stronger, and one would be able to improve the cultivation level faster. Li Mu had just reached the elementary level of General Realm, but he already had thirty-six thousand natural qi channels in his body. That was the amazing power of the Xiantian Skill.

Li Mu had improved his cultivation level much faster than the ordinary General-level masters having thirty-six thousand natural qi channels. His power was now comparable to that of a king.

In addition, he also benefited from dual cultivation…

After nine days, Li Mu would have reached the intermediate level of General Realm.

That was simply a miracle.

It was a miracle of cultivation speed.

The Heavenly Fox Secret Realm would be opened tomorrow.

According to the rules set by the Heavenly Fox Temple, the top twenty super Heavenly Legends could enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm in advance using their own secret tokens, and in half a day after that, the other Heavenly Legends would be sent into the secret realm together.

This half a day’s time might make a great difference. Many opportunities lasted for only a moment, so those who entered the secret realm earlier could seize the opportunities earlier. Those who missed the opportunities would probably need to spend their whole life struggling to catch up with others.

The night of the ninth day fell, and the lamps were lit.

The night view of Imperium Vulpes Divine City was fascinatingly beautiful.

After Li Mu finished his “practice”, he and Hua Xiangrong came to a special quiet room prepared by the Posthouse Officer to visit the Machete Loli.

The Machete Loli was still in a coma, but her condition did not worsen thanks to the treatment of Dong Guo and the care of her sister, Bu Feiyan. She was lying in bed and breathing evenly, as if she were fast asleep.

The hope of her recovery rested in the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb.

“Tomorrow is the day for us to enter the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm. Rest assured. I will definitely find the herb to help you recover.”

Li Mu said softly, looking at the Machete Loli in sound sleep.

Bu Feiyan had been looking after her younger sister these days. She gradually accepted the fact and was no longer as sorrowful as before. She had used all the methods, channels, and people connections that she could think of to look for the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb, but she didn’t find it. Dong Guo was right. This kind of magic herb was so rare that it was impossible for Bu Feiyan, who was born in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, to get it.

Therefore, now all her hopes rested on Li Yidao.

“Thanks, Young Master,” Bu Feiyan bowed gently and said, “as long as you can save my younger sister, I am willing to be your maid and serve you for the rest of my life.”

Rumors about Li Yidao’s romantic affairs were spreading in the outside world.

Rumor had it that Li Yidao was a very romantic man who had not only won the favor of the Lady of the Clouds, but also pulled at the heartstrings of Daji the little princess at the banquet in the Heavenly Fox Temple. Dissolute but not vulgar, he was a master in dealing with women and he never rejected any beautiful woman.

Bu Feiyan was deep in thought. “Considering my background and the powers behind me and Li Yidao’s current status and reputation, I’m afraid he won’t take me to heart. As long as he nods his agreement, I’m willing to give him all the resources, wealth, and Cultivation Methods that I can obtain from the powers standing behind me. My beauty is perhaps the only thing that I can use to repay him for his help.”

She was worried about her sister’s safety, and her last hope rested on Li Yidao.

For this reason, she must offer the only thing she had to Li Yidao before the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm was opened.

She would even agree without hesitation if Li Yidao wanted to receive the “reward” in advance.

She was willing to pay any price for the sake of her sister.

Even if the price that she had to pay was herself.

Upon hearing her words, Li Mu was surprised. He smiled wryly as he rubbed his temples.

“Damn it!

“She must have some misunderstanding about me.”

Li Mu also heard about some of the rumors spreading out there.

According to the rumors, he had become an evil playboy who was fooling around and flirting with women everywhere. No one knew who was making groundless accusations, but the rumors had been highly distorted and greatly exaggerated. It was even rumored that Li Yidao had slept with over a hundred female practitioners in the recent period.

“Don’t worry. I want to save her because she helped me when I was in danger. As the saying goes, ‘The grace of a drop of water should be repaid by the gushing spring.’ I don’t want anything in return.” Li Mu reminded her euphemistically.

Bu Feiyan blushed. She understood what Li Mu meant.

She wanted to say something, but she suddenly saw that her sister’s fingers were moving.

“Ah, her fingers are moving. Her fingers are moving…” Bu Feiyan was overjoyed. She immediately rushed to the bedside.

Li Mu was also surprised to see that the fingers of the Machete Loli’s right hand were moving. It looked like she was trying hard to raise her right hand.

“Is her wound healing?”

Li Mu hurried over and held her fingers in his hand to transfer some wood qi of the Eastern Wood Emperor to her.

Just then, an extremely strange spiritual force was transmitted through her fingers.

Li Mu saw a beam of sword light ripping through the air above the downtown area.

Only he could see it.

The feeble voice of the Machete Loli rang out in Li Mu’s head. “Be… careful… Be careful…”

Only he could hear it.

Then, her fingers and arms dropped down, and she no longer responded.

Li Mu observed her with his Third Eye and natural qi, only to find that she had fallen back into a coma.

It seemed that the Machete Loli gave him a warning with her last bit of willpower.

The image about the beam of sword light that he saw just now should be the scene of the Machete Loli and the young swordsman in black being attacked on their way back to the posthouse. What happened at that short moment was engraved in her soul and memory.

This was the firsthand evidence against the murderer.

Li Mu memorized this scene and watched it carefully over and over again.

Dong Guo came after he heard the news. He conducted an examination, shook his head, and said, “Perhaps she has come to her senses for a moment only. That doesn’t mean she has completely recovered. She still needs the Soul-replenishing Heavenly Herb for full recovery of her soul.”

The delight in Bu Feiyan’s eyes gradually faded away.

However, Li Mu didn’t think that Dong Guo’s words were entirely right.

Although the Machete Loli seemed to be in a vegetative state, she should be able to sense the outside world. She could hear the conversation between Li Mu and Bu Feiyan. It was just that she could not control her body to make a response. As for her change and reminder a moment ago, she should be making her biggest and last efforts to remind him about something.

She felt that he would be in danger after he entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.

It was a pity that she didn’t tell him about whom he should guard against.

“Don’t worry. I will be careful and find the magic herb to help you recover.”

Li Mu transferred some of his Divine Consciousness to her.

Then he found that the furrowed brow of the unconscious Machete Loli seemed to have eased a little.

After exchanging a few words with Dong Guo, Li Mu left the room.

Dong Guo did not dare to give himself airs in front of Li Yidao, but instead he was very respectful to the latter. He patted his chest and promised that he would try his best to keep the Machete Loli’s condition stable before Li Mu found the magic herb.

When Li Mu returned to his courtyard, he was surprised to find that the leader of blue-armor practitioners of the Green Fox Tribe was waiting for him there with four followers carrying a box glowing with blue light.

“Mr. Li, these are the secret treasures that our god gave you. You can use them to protect yourself and kill your opponents in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.” The leader of blue-armor practitioners was very polite and respectful.

“Um?

“Are these the secret treasures from Bi Yan?”

Li Mu was surprised and overjoyed.

He didn’t lose this friend.

“Thanks a lot.” Li Mu sent the five blue-armor practitioners out of the posthouse and returned to the courtyard. Hua Xiangrong had already taken the blue box into the room.

Li Mu opened the box and checked the items in it. He was quite surprised.

Inside the box were the six treasures that he saw on the jade plates in the hands of six beautiful maids that day. Back then, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe offered these treasures to him in an attempt to rope him in. Each of them was extremely rare.

Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong had a night of sweet and tender lovemaking.

The next day, an envoy of the Heavenly Fox Temple came to pick Li Mu up in person. Li Mu entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm using his token.

Hua Xiangrong stayed in the posthouse, waiting for Li Mu to come back.
