Chapter 403 Mural

"Auction? When and where?"

It was like a ray of hope after a dark period. As soon as Lingling finished speaking, Bai Mo couldn't wait to ask.

"Northeast Ice City, time is a bit tight, it's tomorrow morning." Lingling said very quickly.

"It's okay, one night is enough."

Bai Mo stood up decisively and prepared to let Jingwei take him to Ice City at full speed.

"I'll leave the follow-up matters here to you. Lingling, send me the detailed information about the auction via your phone."

Time was running out. Bai Mo did not plan to take anyone with him, and his figure flashed and appeared high in the sky.

Jingwei appeared almost the next moment, flapped her wings and carried him straight up to the northeast.

Bingcheng is an important ice resource city in the north of Kyushu.

It can be said that it is because of the Ice City in the Northeast that powerful ice mages appeared in Kyushu.

The representative among them is the Mu family in the imperial capital.

The journey from Xiangzhou to the northern part of Youzhou is quite long.

However, with Jingwei's speed, it is not difficult to arrive in one night.

There was no need to bypass those dangerous demon resorts. Ten thousand meters above the sky, there were only creatures like the Feathered Clan that were sensitive to the sky.

No demon will be able to sense the breath of Jingwei, but some of the feather demons can sense it.

There are very few people who have the ability to catch up.

Only a small part of Kyushu is lit at night, and most of those bright places are located in the east.

The further north you go, the fewer brilliant gems of civilization there are. When the imperial capital is also crossed, all that can be seen are scattered starlight.

Among all the stars on the ground, the one from the far north is the brightest.

That is Ice City.

It sets near it, and at this moment a morning star gradually rises in the east.

It took half the night and he was already moving very quickly.

When entering the city, Bai Mo did not attract much attention.

It was still early and apart from some special staff members, there were not many people on the street.

It is already the end of midwinter and the ice city is covered in snow, and it is very cold.

Fortunately, Bai Mo is a fire mage, and the cold is a piece of cake for him.

Ding ding ding, the message alerts on the phone kept ringing.

It was a message from Lingling that the auction would start at nine in the morning at the Ice City Auction House.

In addition, they also learned the reason why these totem relics were stolen.

The thief is a man who is as handsome as Bai Mo. Of course, his despicable appearance cannot compare to that of the noble reader.

The thief bewitched the daughter of the village chief, and then used sweet words to trick the "dowry" from her. After getting the money, he ran away immediately.

It's a clichéd story. No wonder the village chief's daughter became so defensive and refused to tell anyone about the water worm.

Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

At the Ice City Auction House, the auction of the swindler’s packaged relics was on the most important auction list today.

In fact, the key that Bai Mo was looking for was just a gift in this package deal, if someone was interested in it.

The main thing he was interested in was the title deed inside. It was a large territory in the Ice City and was worth a lot of money because there was an ice crystal stone mine in the territory.

As for how the thief was so rich, all we can say is that he had a good-looking face.

So, after the auction started, Bai Mo inevitably had to start bidding with others.

He did not intend to push others to the limit. He first quoted ten small goals.

Suddenly, a large number of bidders decreased, and then the bids increased by 100 million at a time.

After all, although he is not short of money, money does not come easily.

"Who are you from? You're trying to steal my things." A slightly indignant voice was heard from a private room.

But the money he brought was limited, and he could only watch the items being bought away.

Many big figures from the Magic Association, members of the magic families, and even nobles from the neighboring Russians came over, but they were no match for that mysterious guy.

Thinking of this, his anger subsided a little.

Inside the box, Bai Mo quickly got what he wanted.

A large number of valuable utensils, calligraphy and paintings, and land deeds were packed in bits and pieces.

After searching for a while, he finally found the jade talisman he wanted.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the box.

"who?"

"Sir, I'm a staff member of the auction house, and my boss wants to invite you to dinner."

“No time!”

Bai Mo had no intention of staying here any longer. He took his things and disappeared into the box in a flash.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Outside the box, the staff member with a dull look on his face knocked on the door again. Seeing no one answered, he opened the door directly.

After entering and seeing the empty box, her dull expression came to life and turned into confusion.

He looked around and left in a hurry.

Bai Mo's figure emerged from the floating air.

When I returned to the hotel in Nanyue Village, I saw Ding Yumian and other two in the lobby at first sight.

"We got the stuff, let's go."

The three of them also noticed him, and when they looked at him, Bai Mo said.

Ding Yumian and the other two naturally agreed readily. During this period of time, they had also found out where the altar was in the back mountain.

Leading the way, he went to the altar in the back mountain.

"How are the village chief's affairs going?"

As they walked forward, Bai Mo asked.

"Since he is old, the people from the Magic Association didn't make a fuss about it."

After clearing her throat, Lingling continued, "This village is now qualified to be upgraded in size, so I will help it be upgraded directly to the town level. All the institutions in the town will be replaced by real institutions."

Hearing this, Bai Mo's eyes shook slightly, and finally nodded.

"This is not bad, but the villagers who lost their jobs because of this..."

When the fake becomes real, the villagers who originally worked in the "unit" will certainly not be employed anymore, so Bai Mo asked.

"They will not have a formal organization, but they can take up some auxiliary positions, which is enough to solve their work problems."

Mu Nujiao on the side explained slowly.

Hearing this, Bai Mo nodded slightly and didn't dwell on the matter any further.

There is a bluestone road leading up the mountain at the back, and the rest are dirt roads.

It looked like no one had walked on the bluestone road for a long time. Not only were there many fallen leaves on the bluestone slabs, but some of them were even broken.

Walking along the bluestone road, you will see a cleared space the size of a playground, paved with stone slabs.

In the middle of the small square there is an altar with a radius of seven meters, and it is unclear what it is made of.

Maybe it's just ordinary soil and rocks on this mountain.

As soon as he arrived here, Bai Mo took out the token and sensed it, and found that there was indeed a response.

With certainty in his heart, he had already arrived at the altar.

A breeze blew, clearing away all the dust and dirt on the surface of the altar.

Take out the jade talisman. The method to use this key to open the altar passage is very simple, which is to inject magic energy.

As the jade talisman began to glow, a staircase leading downwards slowly opened in the center of the altar beneath their feet.

Bai Mo was the first to step in. The passage was dark. When the fire was lit, there were no extra decorations on the surrounding walls.

Gradually, the sound of water began to be heard in the passage, and they seemed to be approaching the water source in the mountains.

After walking a few dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up.

In front of them was a standard tomb chamber, and they entered the antechamber.

There is nothing here, and if there was anything, it has all turned to ashes.

But it is obvious that this place was built by the totem guardian at the foot of the mountain.

Coming to the back, the stone chamber is larger than the front hall. In the middle is a small altar with some scattered bones placed on it.

Bai Mo could feel that it was the skeleton of the Zhen water earthworm.

Because the token in his other hand emitted a large amount of light uncontrollably.

But unfortunately, this totem has also passed away.

"There are quite a few murals here, take a look." Lingling's slightly excited voice came.

Turning his gaze away from Zhen Shuiyin, Bai Mo looked at the wall and saw that there were indeed ancient pictures.

"You guys observe while I absorb the totem power first."

He withdrew his gaze, released Jingwei, and placed the fire totem egg next to the skeleton with anticipation in his eyes.

He has always had a guess about the identity of this totem egg, but he is not very sure.

But it happens again and again, this is the third totem of the Seven Southern Stars.

If it can still absorb their source power, then Bai Mo can be sure of his guess.

A rich red light began to shine, and the red light appeared on the totem egg and the skeleton.

It is hard to tell whether the light is emitted by the totem egg or by the bones.

Maybe both.

However, what attracted Bai Mo's attention was the totem source power that had not been transformed, which was crystal clear as the light lit up.

Once again, it merged into the egg without any hindrance!

Seeing this scene, Bai Mo's eyes lit up instantly.

Looking inward at the spiritual world, he saw that the fire stardust, which had been stagnant at the third stage and motionless, and had at least fed a lot of fire spirit seeds, suddenly exploded at this moment.

Like a ball of fire exploding, the flames expanded in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

When the brilliant flames subsided, a large and magnificent scarlet fire cloud directly reached the level of intermediate level three.

At the same time, a feeling of joy and desire was transmitted from the fire totem egg along the soul connection of the contract.

As usual, Bai Mo fed it a spirit seed and the magic energy of an entire summoning star sea, and then put it away.

Close your eyes and begin to absorb the totem source power transformed by Jingwei.

This amount of source power is not a drop in the bucket for the super-level second-level space system and summoning system, but it is not much either.

Therefore, Bai Mo was directly used in the chaos system.

The Chaos System had just broken through not long ago, and his cultivation was not deep enough, and even his Transcendental Power had not yet awakened.

With the injection of this shot of cardiotonic, the Chaos Department's cultivation level increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it reached a level almost the same as the Sound Department's.

As his cultivation level increased, a natural feeling arose in his heart.

It wasn't surprising that his eyes, when he opened them, were tinged with confusion.

The mysterious aura in his eyes dissipated, gradually returning to black and white. Bai Mo put away Jingwei and stood up.

Walk towards Lingling and the other two who were stopping to study the murals.

"What did you find?"

"There are murals all around the room. The first half tells the story of how the earthworm fell from the sky and turned into a mountain spring to nourish the human race here."

Reading the totem murals was as easy as eating and drinking for Lingling, but at this moment she pointed at the mural in front of her and frowned.

"But the second half of the murals don't record the water worm, but seem to record some other totemic creature. We all think it should be the Vermilion Bird."

Hearing this, Bai Mo's heart moved, and he raised his eyes to look at the mural.

Under the illumination of the fire in Ding Yumian's hand, he saw a huge divine bird, holding up a huge flame, flying above the sky and the wasteland.

The flame seemed to come alive under the light of the fire, burning fiercely! The simple strokes of the divine bird also seemed to have charm at this moment, covered with golden clouds.

His body was ablaze with flames, as if he was the master of fire.

The entire other half of the stone chamber is covered with murals depicting this flaming divine bird flying across the sky and earth.

The only things that changed were the posture of the divine bird and the surrounding terrain.

From the perspective of terrain, it is from high to low.

And this is exactly where the spirit feels strange.

"If it's Suzaku, why do you keep drawing the same scene?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's just to fill the blank space on the interior walls. There's nothing mysterious about it." Ding Yumian said.

Hearing this, Lingling also let go of the strange feeling she had.

You can't tell anything just by looking at a painting.

At this moment, Bai Mo had a constantly shaking mirror in his hand. As the chaotic light in his eyes fell on the mirror, a ray of chaotic light instantly spread from the mirror in all directions.

The chaotic and mottled colors spread and gradually merged into the mural.

For a moment, everyone felt like they were in a mural world.

There is a hazy sky above my head and a vast land under my feet. The mountains are undulating, high in the west and low in the east.

A divine bird covered in flames flew by, with blazing fire essence all over its back, and it flew straight south.

Everyone followed it, and soon it crossed the mountains and plains, and appeared above a vast basin.

But this is still not its destination. When the vast basin gradually came to the end, everyone seemed to see a large area of ​​​​ice white.

And the scene ends here.

"There's nothing strange about it. Let's go."

Seeing that even Gui Yanjian’s recollection did not reveal any special scenes, Bai Mo shook his head.

The three nodded and left the altar.

After returning to the village, Bai Mo returned the jade talisman to the village chief.

"I still have use for the token and the water string, sorry I can't return them now."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's enough that the jade talisman can be found. These two things are of no use to me."

The village chief waved his hands repeatedly, saying that the jade talisman was a symbol of their family's status among some people in the village.

Other things, while important, are more symbolic.

As long as he knew where these two things were, the village chief would not be afraid of dying and leaving his ancestors without an explanation.

After returning to the Magic City, Lingling continued to collect information about the next totem.

Bai Mo also received a set of magic tools from Shao Zheng.

A very cool set of silver armor, breastplate, helmet, and boots are the basics.

There are also skirt armor, arm armor and a pair of gloves. I don't know how the gloves are made. They look the same when worn on the hands.

Bai Mo likes the style very much. It has many functions, big and small.

In general, if the enemy is an emperor.

It will turn him from a little mouse that can be easily crushed to a little mouse that is somewhat more controllable.

The biggest function of this thing is to enhance Bai Mo's current teleportation distance.

He can move directly from Xiaoshan to the Mingzhu Three-Step Tower without having to flash continuously.

The rest, in Bai Mo's view, are purely defensive functions.

After changing his magic tools, Bai Mo went to a small border town in the northeast alone.

He came to receive another reward for himself, a thank you from his future father-in-law.

Bai Mo is looking forward to the heavenly level earth elemental species.

As the secret order was authenticated, he came to a secret place under the guidance of the military magician.

The first moment he entered, Bai Mo felt that the place looked familiar.

When he saw the huge rocky mountain dotted with wild grass and stretching from north to south, it looked even more familiar to him.

"The Heavenly Seed is in the Stone Mountain and is well protected. We have cut off its energy nourishment from the land of this secret realm. Although it has lost some vitality, its essence has not changed."

Said a researcher who led Bai Mo in.

Nodding, Bai Mo expressed his understanding. You may not believe it, but I have been to this secret place before, and I won it back.

Although I was not sure there were any heavenly species here at that time.

A huge canyon was carved out of the entire mountain, and at the end of the canyon were the elemental species that existed here.

"Heavenly seeds are precious and rare. We don't even know what this Heavenly Seed is called. It's up to you."

The researcher said this and left with the group of people who were still working and researching here.

Studying naturally formed celestial seeds can enrich people's understanding of elemental seeds.

To put it more directly, it means that we can upgrade the technology of artificial seeds and make artificial seeds more mature.

Similarly, the artificial technology of spirit seeds and soul seeds can also be improved from a high-level perspective.

Bai Mo stared at the rocky land in front of him that was filled with earth elements and powerful energy.

It is like a sharp divine weapon. Just one look at it will make your eyes hurt. It does not have the gentleness of the earth element at all.

There is no experience to learn from in absorbing the heavenly seed, and Bai Mo can only refer to Feng Ling’s original situation.

With earth magic covering his entire body, he walked directly into the elemental species' territory.

In an instant, Bai Mo felt his hair explode, as if the entire earth was about to turn into a divine axe and sword to chop him down.

However, with his high level of mental strength, this illusion-like feeling was immediately suppressed.

The process of absorbing the Heavenly Seed cannot be impatient. Bai Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, infiltrating his magic power into the surrounding land to find the spirit of the Heavenly Seed.

To communicate with it, you either have to persuade it or force it into submission; there are no other options.

There is no time in the secret realm, if you try to use something to measure time.

Bai Mo could only calculate based on his perception that someone would come to take a look at the entrance of the canyon from time to time.

The absorption of the Heavenly Seed was similar to practicing meditation. His entire body was in a solidified state at this moment.

Therefore, nothing happened, and the surrounding land was all infected by his earth-based magic power.

And he had also found the heavenly spirit that carried a hint of sharpness, curiosity and vigilance.

The Heavenly Spirit probably didn't expect that he would lose so completely and smoothly.

After all, the magic power of a normal wizard is limited. After searching for a while, he has to stop and restore his magic power.

But the magic power of the guy in front of him is not like that.

Bai Mo's magical power is actually limited, but the earth here is his backup energy depot.

Although the spring ground cannot absorb the energy of the heavenly seed, it can absorb the energy of the surrounding ground.

That's why we have successfully reached this step and communicated with the spirit of heaven.

Bai Mo didn’t know how to communicate, he just coaxed the child.

Just like human traffickers, if coaxing doesn't work, then scare him. However, this child obviously doesn't take soft or hard approaches.

After being frightened, the resistance became more intense.

There was no other way, Bai Mo could only drag him into the car.

The wrestling between the two was like a battle-hardened martial artist and a child holding a huge sword.

The sword was very powerful, but the martial artist was experienced and it only took him some effort and time to subdue the child.

With the complete submission of the Heavenly Seed Spirit, Bai Mo's progress in absorbing the Heavenly Seed became as rapid as a whale sucking water.

The continuous infusion of energy suddenly created an elemental storm in the canyon, sweeping in sand and wind.

In the earth-element sea of ​​stars, the originally low-key dark gold color quietly transformed into platinum, like a sword flashing with cold light.

Every star is a sharp sword light.

The spirit of the heavenly seed was integrated into this force, completely endowing it with spirituality.

A powerful feeling filled my heart, it had no name because it had never been discovered.

If he had to name it, Bai Mo would like to call it Taichu Bingtu.

Its additional effect is called Huabing. With careful perception of the mind, this additional effect can be used in two ways.

One is to use magic power as a medium to enchant the ground veins beneath your feet and transform them into magical weapons to aid in battle.

The other method is to refine a mountain or a mountain range and turn it into your own weapon, which you can then directly summon for use in battle.

It is necessary to refine it in advance.

The Fantian Seal from the magical world?

Bai Mo had a strange look on his face and looked up at the surrounding mountains.

Forget it, I won’t harm other people’s research products.

Anyway, there are so many mountains outside. He can't move the big mountains, but can he move the small mountains?

The mountains in Kyushu are not easy to move around in, but the mountains in other places are nice.

When he walked out of the canyon, some people came up to congratulate him and asked him about the Heavenly Seed.

Bai Mo just talked about its additional effects, but of course did not go into details.

Only after leaving the secret realm did he realize that he had been there for a month.

The primordial soldiers and soil are of the minor celestial species and have no forbidden boundaries.

Bai Mo hopes that during the future trip to Qinling, Yu Shishi will obtain the Fruit of Oath and be able to help strengthen her to the level of a Great Heavenly Seed.

Then he remembered that since he could refine mountains, then volcanoes should also be mountains.

Communications in the border town were poor, and Bai Mo's message took a long time to be sent.

He simply gave up sending it and planned to directly call out Jingwei and return.

Just as he walked a little further away to avoid being misunderstood by the military garrison behind him, Bai Mo instantly raised his eyebrows.

"Who, come out, don't hide."

“Very alert.”

A big black man with a rough voice came out, dressed in black and smelling like a soldier.

"Boy, you are robbing me. Give me the clothes you have on me!"

A question mark appeared on Bai Mo's face, and he said speechlessly:

"My brother's military wizard, instead of taking a good rest during the holiday, he came to have fun with me."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to hand it over, I'll do it myself!"

The big black guy snorted, raised his hand and a brown light flashed. The land turned into a quagmire, and anything on the quagmire fell down uncontrollably.

Bai Mo stood on the surface of the mud, motionless.

"You have some skills. It seems that the heavenly seed in there is a good thing. It's a pity to give it to you."

The big black guy waved his hand, and the mud suddenly turned into the mouth of a giant beast, biting towards Bai Mo.

"fall!"

Bai Mo stomped his feet heavily, and the platinum-colored waves spread. The ground suddenly rose up with heavy pressure, absorbing the rolling mud.

"Not bad, I'm going to show my real skills now!"

The gray-brown star palace suddenly flashed for a moment, and as the big black man punched the ground heavily, the earth seemed to tremble. As a stronger gravity covered it, the mud turned into powder and the earth suddenly sank.

"Humanized Soldiers!"

However, as soon as the entire wasteland collapsed a little, an unparalleled sharp aura suddenly burst out from under the ground, tearing the pressure field apart.

Then, a platinum-colored sword as big as a giant peak rose into the sky, shattering a thousand-meter-long wasteland. With a single swing, it left a deep river valley in front of the big black man.

"You've seen my strength, so don't bother me!"

"Tsk, that's all. It's no big deal. I can do it."

The big black man spoke rudely but his figure kept retreating. When the last word was uttered, he had disappeared.

It's really weird. He is a young general, but he can't beat a young man.

Although he understood who it was after he arrived, he had also heard of Bai Mo's name.

But hearing about it is not as good as meeting it in person.

Anyway, this guy in the earth element doesn't seem to be weaker than himself. If the natural seed is gone, it's gone. He can't just get beaten up.
