Chapter 485: The Little Girl

Zhu Hongshan prayed. After entering the Heavenly s.h.i.+ne region, he became even more careful.

At the same time, he was prepared to retreat.

Once he noticed that something was wrong, he would immediately retreat.

“I’ve been hiding for a few years.”

Zhu Hongshan sighed.

After thinking for so many years, Zhu Hongshan wanted to go back many times.

He couldn’t beat her, so he couldn’t do anything to her. Other than losing his hair every day, there was nothing else he could gain from staying here.

Sometimes, he really wanted to go back.

Even if he was scolded, he would admit it.

But he didn’t dare to.

The place he went back to was in the Heavenly s.h.i.+ne region, not far from the Xuantian sect.

“To move up to the third stage of the emperor level from the second stage in just a few years, such a monster must have many tricks up his sleeve.”

Especially after personally witnessing Li Mu’s treasures, Zhu Hongshan became even more dispirited.

A second stage emperor-level expert could fight him to a draw with just his treasures.

Not to mention now.

The other party had already reached third level emperor-level a few years ago. Perhaps in a few years, he would step into fourth level emperor-level.

At that time, it would really be dangerous to stay outside.

Who knows, the other party might one day remember and find him.

Returning was a must.

Zhu Hongshan took every step carefully.

Every step he took, he concealed himself in the air, observing his surroundings before continuing forward.

He would not even touch any human gathering place and would hide far away.

If he encountered a human expert, Zhu Hongshan would hide in the void.

This hiding place was not for a short while, but for many days.

Thus, another two years pa.s.sed before Zhu Hongshan appeared in front of the small temple.

He let out a long sigh of relief and observed his surroundings for a long time before entering the stone door.

Xuantian sect’s secret land.

Li Mu stood in front of a cave dwelling and shook his head.

“I don’t understand. If I have the energy, I might as well decipher the runes on the bronze coffin.”

He came before the bronze coffin.

Li Mu stood there for a long time before letting out a deep sigh.

“If I have the energy, I might as well cultivate. If I cultivate for a few hundred years, I might as well sign in once.”

Forget it!

Now, seeing these runes gave him a headache.

Shua ~

Li Mu appeared in the Merit PaG.o.da Forest.

He found a huge rock and lay on it. He raised his head to look at the sky.

After several years of continuous blows, no one would be able to withstand it.

The origins of the runes on the bronze coffin could not be found.

The cave dwelling in the secret ground was completely empty.

No one knew what had happened back then. The patriarchs of the Xuantian sect did not even leave behind their bones.

There were no bones, nothing was left behind.

They had practically taken away all the useful and useless things that they had acc.u.mulated.

Had they moved?

Even if they had moved, they would not have moved so cleanly!

At least they had left behind some rubbis.h.!.+

They were too stingy.

Whenever they saw runes, they would have a headache.

One could not decipher them, while the other could not decipher anything.

Under the double torture, they tortured for a few years.

Li Mu had turned this hobby of his into something he hated the most.

“As long as I don’t think about the runes, my brain won’t have a headache. Lying down like this is really comfortable!”

The modified Merit PaG.o.da Forest was completely different from before.

The vitality here was rich, but it wouldn’t be discovered.

All the charm was hidden by Li Mu.

Shua ~

As he calmed his heart, he heard the rhythmic sound of sweeping the floor.

Not only was it not slow, but the interval between the sounds of sweeping was just right.

It sounded neither hurried nor impatient.

It was the same when he swept the floor back then.

With his cultivation, he would be neither hurried nor impatient in dealing with anything.

And this was the lowest level disciple of the Xuantian sect, to be able to have such a state of mind..

Yi ~

He had broken through!

He had become a Spirit Manipulation Realm expert.

Yes!

So what if he was a Spirit Manipulation Realm expert?

He was almost forty years old.

As for the ordinary disciples of the Xuantian sect, they were already at the saint-level at the age of forty.

The weaker ones were already at the peak of the Spirit Defense Realm.

With his talent, he would only be at the saint-level for the rest of his life.

“I reckon that the formation I left behind in the Merit PaG.o.da Forest helped me to break through to the Spirit Defense Realm. Otherwise, I won’t be able to reach until I’m fifty years old.”

However, the strange thing was that this handyman had been sweeping the floor at a steady pace since he was born.

He remembered that he had been sweeping the floor from morning to night.

He had already rested for an hour in between.

If it was him, he would definitely speed up and finish sweeping the floor a moment earlier. Then, he would rest or cultivate.

However, this person was neither fast nor slow.

He had thought that he would be able to sweep the floor faster after reaching the spirit mastery realm. He did not expect that it would still be like this.

His personality was really impatient!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

The sound of a broom sweeping the floor gradually approached.

Half a day later, the gray-clothed servant swept in front of Li Mu. His hands didn’t stop moving. He looked around Li Mu and seemed to have noticed that there were no sundries, so he bypa.s.sed Li Mu and continued to sweep.

In his eyes, there seemed to be only brooms and sundries.

This kind of temperament could only be found in an expert.

Obviously, this person could not be an expert.

In the human race, no one could hide it from him. It was even more impossible for some expert to hide it.

The Xuantian sect was very strict in recruiting people.

In addition, who in this world would have the same wicked taste as him to hide his cultivation and pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger.

“He has potential, but unfortunately, his talent is average.”

To be able to have such a strong mentality, this experience was also unusual.

Li Mu’s spiritual sense lingered on this servant’s body for a long time, then he shook his head.

He thought about the marrow cleansing pills in his hands.

“With this kind of apt.i.tude, the marrow cleansing pills can only improve a little at most. Cultivating to the emptiness realm will be at most.”

The marrow cleansing pills weren’t omnipotent.

For him, Li Mu, to be able to have such achievements, it was mostly because of the acc.u.mulation of his skills.

Li Jiao herself was an undiscovered genius.

She could recover with a few elixirs, and her talent could be improved with a few more elixirs.

The talent of the Emptiness realm was relatively ordinary in the Xuantian sect.

However, for this odd-job worker, his fate was different.

“Everyone has their own fate!”

Li Mu glanced sideways at the paG.o.da forest, and then looked at the distant green mountain.

He would not help him just because the other party had the same fate as him and had a strong mentality.

“Sigh, I haven’t gone out to see Liu Xiu and Xu Fang for many years. I wonder how Liu Xiu is doing?”

Many years ago, when Muyang City was built, Li Mu glanced at Liu Xiu from afar when he saw Liu An and the others.

If he was not worried that the strange bird would sneak attack and destroy the forbidden area of the Xuantian sect, he would have gone out to take a look now.

“I haven’t had the chance to go out to take a look these years. I think Liu Xiu and the others should be doing quite well!”

He hadn’t had the chance to leave the Xuantian sect all these years either.

Shua ~

The sound of sweeping the ground was getting further and further away.

It was getting dark very soon.

Li Mu was still lying there.

He didn’t want to return to the forbidden area, but he couldn’t leave the Xuantian sect either.

The Xuantian sect’s great formation had already been repaired, so he had nothing else to do.

Li Mu spread out his spiritual sense and scanned his surroundings in boredom.

“Oh? This guy still has a child.”

Unintentionally, Li Mu discovered something extraordinary.

That handyman actually had a child with him.

It was not easy for a handyman to survive in the Xuantian sect, and he even had a child with him.

The next day, before dawn, the sound of sweeping could be heard.

Li Mu’s spiritual sense landed on the child’s body.

It was a little girl, but she was only five years old. Her eyes were very big, and her jet-black hair draped over her body.

Right now, this girl was sitting obediently on the bed.

She didn’t cry or make a fuss.

When it was time to eat, she took out a piece of dried taro-like thing from the basket and put it into her mouth to chew on.

She drank cold water when she was thirsty.

Li Mu’s heart ached when he saw this.

“This girl is now five years old. Then when she was still young, how did this handyman take care of her?”

One could imagine how much hards.h.i.+p this handyman had suffered.

“A five-year-old girl is so sensible. It can be seen that she had suffered a lot before.”

In her spiritual sense, after the girl finished eating and drinking, she would return to her bed and wait quietly, except for going to the toilet.

Undoubtedly, this period of time was very lonely for a five-year-old girl.

Bang

Suddenly, the door of the little girl was pushed open.

Three young men in gray clothes walked in.

They rummaged through the room.

Li Mu frowned.
