Two hours after the herbal decoction was simmered, it was already broad daylight.
Li Mu took out a piece of mushroom and threw it into the earthenware pot of nourishing qi soup. The medicinal aroma of the soup was instantly activated, filling the room with fragrance.
After thinking it over, I decided to nourish both internally and externally this time, so I added two bitter thorn fruits to the Qi-nourishing soup.
The bitter thorn fruit cannot be used in medicine because it is extremely bitter. Those who cultivate themselves are not afraid of death, so how could they be afraid of bitterness?
After adding the bitter thorn fruit to the soup for about ten minutes, the initial aroma began to be mixed with a bitter taste, which gradually became very pungent and eventually even stung the eyes. After another half hour, the aroma and bitterness dissipated together, and the liquid gradually thickened, leaving about a bowlful.
Li Mu poured the nourishing soup into a bowl; it was dark and hesitant to take a bite.
The Johnson's liquid was already prepared in the large wooden tub, just waiting for this improved version of the Qi-nourishing soup to be consumed. Whether to drink it or not, Li Mu hesitated for only a moment, then picked up the bowl, tilted his head back, and gulped it down before jumping into the tub.
Those who cultivate the Tao should not be afraid to move forward; it is just a bowl of bitter medicine, but it should not kill them.
.
It was bitter, truly bitter, ten or even a hundred times more bitter than bitter melon. It was so bitter that my stomach started to cramp. I quickly circulated my cultivation technique, starting with the Small Heavenly Circuit. After only one circuit, "Boom!" The barrier that had been suppressing me at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining was instantly broken through, and my cultivation level reached the second level of Qi Refining.
Before Li Mu could even begin to rejoice at his advancement, the invisible energy that had broken through the barrier of Qi cultivation began to rampage through his meridians, causing his cultivation technique to operate uncontrollably. The speed of the Small Heavenly Circuit increased more than tenfold, and the spiritual energy in the air flooded into Li Mu's body like a tide.
As the speed at which spiritual energy entered his body increased, the spiritual energy outside also surged into the room at an accelerated rate, quickly forming a vortex around Li Mu.
He couldn't stop, he simply couldn't stop. The cultivation methods changed in an instant, leaving Li Mu, sitting in the wooden tub, dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "I've really gone too far this time. I only added bitter thorn fruit to the medicinal soup, but I didn't expect the effects to be so potent and domineering."
In just a quarter of an hour, Li Mu's cultivation reached the peak of the second level of Qi Refining. "Boom!!" Third level of Qi Refining!!!
This automatic cultivation mode shows no sign of stopping, and the speed at which spiritual energy enters the body is even faster.
At this moment, a whirlwind of unknown origin swept across dozens of miles centered on the Li family, reaching the Guojiao Lake villa area.
.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Li Mu's cultivation reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. The invisible energy did not break through the barrier of the third level of Qi Refining as before, but the spiritual energy in his body was still increasing, his meridians began to swell, and his body was inflating like a balloon. The Qiangsheng Liquid in the wooden tub also began to take effect. The Qi Nourishing Soup and Qiangsheng Liquid, which were originally meant to nourish both the internal and external parts of his body, had now become deadly traps.
"It's going to explode!" Li Mu was extremely anxious. His mind raced, and he raised his fist, using all his strength to punch towards his chest.
"Pfft..." Black liquid mixed with blood spurted out of Li Mu's mouth.
"Whoosh!!!" The explosive sensation disappeared, but the cultivation technique did not stop operating on its own; it only reached a temporary balance.
"Pfft..." The sensation of an explosion came, and Li Mu threw another punch, leaving a puddle of liquid on the ground. He regained his balance briefly.
This continued, and Li Mu kept pounding his chest and spitting blood. This was no nourishing soup; it was a deadly soup, far too violent.
Li Mu didn't know how many times he punched himself before his internal energy cultivation stopped working, and he fell asleep. He had punched himself too hard and lost too much blood.
.
When Li Hongjun drove to the Li family villa, he saw that the area around the villa and in the yard was covered with dust and garbage.
"Which bastard is so despicable as to dump garbage on the Li family villa?" Little did he know, this was caused by Li Mu's cultivation.
Li Mu suddenly woke up. He sensed that someone had entered his villa. He quickly jumped out of the wooden tub, flashed to the second-floor room, and hurriedly put on a set of clothes.
After getting dressed, the middle-aged man who appeared in his consciousness entered the house, acting somewhat suspiciously. Then, he saw the man pull a gun from his pocket. Li Mu's eyes grew cold; this was the first time he had ever seen someone use a gun. He thought to himself, "These people are truly persistent and lawless; they dare to break into homes and kill people in broad daylight."
As soon as Li Hongjun entered the house, he smelled blood. He noticed two pieces of white jade missing from the wall and a pool of blood on the floor. He quickly crouched down and pulled his gun from his pocket. He concluded, "Someone broke into the house, and after a fight, someone was killed."
Li Mu glanced at the middle-aged man still loitering in the hall and decided to take the initiative. If this man came to kill him, he should be prepared to be killed. Judging by the man's build and movements, aside from a bit of wariness, he clearly hadn't practiced any martial arts; he was utterly weak. Let alone facing Li Mu now, even facing Li Mu himself right after leaving the hospital, he would be a complete scumbag.
Li Mu flashed to the side of the stairs, then used an invisibility spell to appear in front of the middle-aged man. Before the man could react, Li Mu raised his hand and grabbed the man's neck, lifting him into the air.
Killing is definitely necessary. Before killing, he needs to find out about these people's backgrounds. If possible, he wouldn't mind wiping them all out at once to prevent future troubles.
.
"Who are you?"
Li Mu pointed his gun at the man's head in mid-air and asked.
Seeing that the guy's tongue was sticking out from being pinched, he casually threw him to the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Li Hongjun touched his chest and coughed repeatedly. Things had developed too quickly; he didn't even know where to begin.
Even though I was already on high alert and had a gun in my hand, somehow someone grabbed me by the neck, lifted me into the air, and the gun just disappeared.
When he finally saw who was pointing a gun at him, with his slightly messy medium-length hair and stubble, he realized it was Li Mu.
Before, I thought this kid had been killed and felt sorry for him. Now this kid is pointing a gun at me, what's going on? And he's asking me who I am?
At this moment, he secretly hoped that this kid would be beaten half to death every day, since he dared to be so disrespectful to him.
"Li Mu, put the gun down immediately, I am your second uncle."
After catching his breath, Li Hongjun saw that Li Mu was still holding the gun and pointing it at him, and he was really worried that the gun would go off accidentally.
"Second Uncle?"
Li Mu searched through his past life's memories, and slowly a certain scene emerged in his mind: this guy really was his cheap second uncle.
"Second Uncle, why are you sneaking around the house like this? I almost didn't recognize you."
Li Mu helped Li Hongjun up and handed him the gun.
"What the hell is this sneaky behavior? Didn't you see that someone smashed the wall of your house and there was blood on the ground, and you thought someone was trying to harm you?"
Li Hongjun tucked the gun into his pocket, wondering whether he should give the kid a few whacks on the head. He'd been spoiled rotten as a child; no respect for elders, daring to point a gun at him like that.
"oh!"
Looking at the wall he had damaged and the blood he had vomited on the ground, Li Mu really didn't know how to explain it.
"Second Uncle, why don't you go to the study first? I have something to tell you later."
"Alright! I'm telling you, next time look carefully before you make a move."
Li Hongjun rubbed his neck as he entered the study.
As Li Hongjun entered the study, Li Mu casually threw a small fireball at the bloodstains on the floor, instantly burning them to ash. Then, he cast a dust-removing spell, and the entire living room became spotless, even the air felt fresh.
