Li Mu was invited to the city lord's mansion by the two city lords of Xiling City.
This was the second time he had been invited here, but things had changed drastically.
He was once plotted against by his wife's family here, but now he is treated as an honored guest.
In his presence, Shi Donglai, Fei Jiangbo, and others, while not exactly fawning, were certainly very polite.
Li Mu was treated to fine wine and tea at the city lord's mansion, and the conversation gradually shifted from the spirit stone mine to the teleportation array.
With the teleportation array set to open in twenty years, several factions and the alliance of rogue cultivators are already preparing for the grand competition.
After the teleportation array is activated, spirit stones are needed to activate it in order to pass through.
Each time the teleportation array is activated, it requires the consumption of tens of thousands of spirit stones.
The Xiling mine has now been proven to be an ancient battlefield, and there are not many spirit stones left to be mined.
This situation casts a shadow over future transmissions.
As the only place in Shenzhou capable of producing spirit stones, Xiling's teleportation array will become useless once the source of spirit stones is cut off.
Seeing the worries of the people of Xiling, Li Mu also became worried.
The teleportation array, as the only link between Shenzhou and Huaxia, would have far-reaching consequences if it were to be deactivated.
When cultivators are engrossed in their practice, they are never lacking in universal sentiments, unless their abilities are limited.
With his current cultivation level and strength, I wouldn't dare say he's invincible in Shenzhou and Blue Star, but he at least represents the pinnacle of combat power.
He also began to think of solutions to the teleportation array that was about to become impassable.
Regarding teleportation arrays, he didn't know how the teleportation problem was solved before Shenzhou became an abandoned land.
This is a chicken-or-egg paradox, and he cannot find the answer.
For him, now that he can use the Golden Pearl World to take his family to wherever they want to go, he can remain detached from it all.
If we think about it more deeply, he doesn't belong to Earth, much less to China, and his true home isn't here.
Cultivating immortality through Taoist practices is his eternal pursuit.
At the barrier, he had already transcended the level and become a Golden Core cultivator, and it was even more likely that he would break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Once he decides to leave, the way out is not on the more powerful Blue Star or Shenzhou, but at the barrier.
Only there could he possibly be taken to a higher plane.
Only in a higher plane can he break through the constraints and achieve greater goals.
By focusing on the specific, we can see the bigger picture. In this way, the topic returns to whether teleportation arrays can even exist.
The existence of this teleportation array is not only related to all cultivators, but also to whether they can attain immortality.
He once told his young apprentice, a celebrity, that with great power comes great responsibility.
Now it seems to have come true for me.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I wonder if you could stay in my Xiling for a few more days? We would like to hold a martial arts tournament regarding spirit stones and teleportation arrays."
As Li Mu was pondering how to solve the teleportation array problem, Fei Jiangbo suddenly asked.
Li Mu snapped out of his daze, glanced at the Philadelphia lord, thought for a moment, and said:
“Lord of Philadelphia, I have been in China for too long and am preparing to find a way to leave China immediately.”
If I need any help from Li, we can meet at the teleportation platform; I can stay there for a while longer.”
Li Mu replied.
It's not that he couldn't wait here a little longer, but rather that waiting here idly was less appealing than trying to find a solution near the teleportation array.
Later, he shared his thoughts, and Fei Jiangbo and the others had no objections, so they agreed to meet at the teleportation mountain.
Before Li Mu left, the people of Xiling gave him some small gifts in an attempt to curry favor with him.
Among them were several purple violet flowers, which were the main medicinal materials for refining the Fusion Spirit Pill, and Li Mu accepted them without hesitation.
Purple violets are a specialty of the Endless Forest in the Western Divine Continent, and Li Mu has not yet explored them.
The Fusion Spirit Pill is a elixir that liquefies spiritual energy, and it is suitable for cultivators from the high-level Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Li Mu accepted the gifts from the people of Xiling and wanted to give them some elixirs as a return gift.
Then, realizing that he seemed to have no cultivation pills on him, he rubbed his hands together and looked at Yue Ling.
Yue Ling realized that Li Mu wanted to give her some pills as a return gift, but he was embarrassed because he was short of money.
She took out more than ten bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills and several bottles of Healing Pills from her ring and said generously:
"Fellow Daoists, these are some pills that my husband refined. I'd like to give them to you."
After receiving the pills from Yue Ling, the group from Xiling were all stunned for a moment before looking at Yue Ling together.
They finally figured out who the woman next to Li Mu was.
Shi Donglai looked at Yue Ling and asked:
"May I ask if you are the Moon Spirit Fairy of the Northern Cold Palace?"
Yes, they realized who the woman next to Li Mu was.
She was an extremely low-profile female cultivator who was said to have been cultivating in seclusion at the Northern Cold Palace, detached from worldly affairs.
However, the overall improvement of the Northern Cold Palace's strength is inseparable from this fairy.
The reason, of course, is that Fairy Moon Spirit knows how to refine pills.
If Yue Ling hadn't taken out the pills, or hadn't taken out so many pills, they would have even ignored her presence.
"Fellow Daoists, I am Yue Ling. I am a humble woman who greets you."
Under her husband's watchful gaze, Yue Ling made a splash in front of the people of Xiling, and blushed slightly.
With her current cultivation level, more and more martial artists are calling her senior, but she still doesn't quite get used to it.
For her, no identity was as important as being acknowledged as Li Mu's wife.
.
Li Mu and Yue Ling bid farewell to Xiling City.
Several hours later, a strange yet familiar house appeared in the valley of the teleportation.
As a guardian of the array, Huang Ze has now reached the Heavenly Realm and no longer needs to guard the teleportation array here.
Today was his routine inspection day, and unexpectedly, he saw that familiar house.
More than ten years ago, it was by clinging to Li Mu's coattails that he obtained the elixir and broke through to the Heavenly Realm in one fell swoop.
"Is Senior Li here? I, Huang Ze, have come to pay my respects."
Yue Ling heard the commotion and came out to meet her.
"Brother Huang, hello, it's nice to meet you again."
"Oh my! Sister Yueling, it really is you! Wait here, I'll go make the arrangements right away."
Huang Ze was overjoyed when he saw Yue Ling.
His first thought was to prepare firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea for the two of them, just like he had done before.
Moreover, he was not prepared to delegate the task to others and wanted to handle it himself.
Li Mu also came out at this moment, and looking at Huang Ze who was about to leave, he was filled with emotion.
"Brother Huang, don't bother with your work yet, come in and have a seat."
Life is not just about flattery and fighting; it's also about chance encounters.
Although Huang Ze had some opportunistic intentions at the time, he did provide them with considerable help.
Therefore, Li Mu had a very good impression of this person.
"Senior Li, you flatter me, you flatter me. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Huang Ze was overjoyed when Li Mu addressed him as Brother Huang.
I thought to myself, this Senior Li is really overestimating himself. All I can do is to provide him with more convenience.
Li Muben wanted to ask Huang Ze about the changes in the teleportation array over the years.
Unexpectedly, this person is still as shrewd as before.
After exchanging a smile with Yue Ling, he followed Huang Ze away.
At this moment, Li Mu looked at the teleportation array, his state of mind completely different.
While he was in Xiling, he was thinking about how to solve the problem of the teleportation array.
If the teleportation array is to continue operating after the spirit stones are exhausted, the only remaining option is to maintain and activate it using the array itself.
He was confident he could solve the problem; it would just require more materials and time for deduction.
His array formation skills have now broken through to level three, placing him at the peak of a level three array formation master.
This is also why inner demons arose at the barrier in the first place; his cultivation level couldn't keep up with the array's level.
It wasn't until his martial arts cultivation broke through to the Tongqiao Realm and he conceived a Nascent Soul that he was able to overcome his inner demons.
Getting out of here now is much easier than when he first came in.
What he was thinking about more was how to make the array transmit normally without using spirit stones.
