Chapter 351: Secretly Going Down the Mountain

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately stopped the movements in his hands. Since he went into seclusion and broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Feng He, who had been following him, had not taken the initiative to speak to him again. Today, seeing him start to pack things, this old guy could no longer sit still.

"I already promised the senior last time that as long as I break through my cultivation base, I would go out to help you find a suitable physical body. I, Li Mu, have always been a man of my word. You must have been able to see that after following me for these years, Senior!"

"Haha, not bad! You are indeed a straightforward person who keeps his word. I also like this character of yours very much. It seems that my decision to cooperate with you at the beginning was indeed a correct one."

Li Mu shook his head, packed the remaining few items he needed into his storage bag, and said slowly: "Senior, it is better not to be happy too early. You also know that this matter is not easy to handle. If I am accidentally seen through by someone when I go out this time, it will be very difficult for the two of us to escape the pursuit of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Hmph! If you are afraid, it is not that there is no safer way. As long as you are willing to bring that child over, it will be fine."

Hearing that Feng He's words were somewhat pointed, Li Mu also immediately understood that this old guy seemed to have already taken a fancy to Song Yuanli, who had not been on the mountain for long.

"Senior, I think it is better for you not to have this idea anymore. Not to mention that doing so will still have risks, I am not a Patriarch who will sell out his own clan members at will."

"Hehe! You kid is really too young and doesn't know what this cultivation world is like at all. When you form the Golden Core in the future, you will understand that the family you are wholeheartedly protecting now will only be a stepping stone on your cultivation path in the future. At that time, the life and death of a few clan members should be about the same as ants crawling on the ground to you."

"Hmm! Even if what you say, Senior, is very correct, these things are indeed still too early for me. Now I am just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator and cannot see such long-term things, and indeed I cannot do such things. Please be a little understanding."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he activated the few restrictions he had set up at the entrance of the cave dwelling and then quietly left Mount Funiu under the cover of night.

A month later, in a restaurant in Guiyunfang of the Wei State, Li Mu, who had ordered a table of delicious spiritual food, was tasting the spiritual wine in his hand while watching the endless stream of pedestrians of all kinds on the street downstairs.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, have you heard? Last month, a guy found five stalks of second-grade Blazing Fire Grass near Mount Laodu."

"What? You are talking about Mount Laodu? I have been to that vicinity before. How could there be second-grade Blazing Fire Grass in that place, and five stalks found all at once? Is what you said true or false?"

At a dining table not far from Li Mu, two young loose cultivators were talking about some things in low voices. Because the distance was close enough, they also did not expect that this inconspicuous person in a green robe wearing a cloak sitting next to them would be a Foundation Establishment cultivator with profound cultivation, and the words they said all fell into Li Mu's ears without missing a word.

"The news came out from Guixiang Pavilion yesterday, how could this be false? I heard that the guy exchanged it for eight hundred spirit stones at once. He really had great luck. Brother Feng, since you have been to Mount Laodu, you must be very familiar with that place. Why don't we go there together to see? Maybe there are second-grade spiritual medicines that haven't been found yet."

"Hmm! What the fellow Daoist said is correct. While this news hasn't spread yet, let's set off immediately after we finish eating, so as not to be preempted by others."

"That would be excellent. I happen to have this intention as well..."

Guiyunfang gathers many loose cultivators from the north of the Wei State. These loose cultivators do not have fixed spiritual veins to cultivate, and their lives are mostly very tight. For the sake of a few trivial spirit stones for cultivation, they often need to rush about in the crisis-ridden Fuyun Mountain Range all year round.

And this place in the Fuyun Mountain Range, where the demon race and the human race are intertwined, not only can find various spiritual resources that cultivators need most, but is also full of various opportunities that can allow ordinary cultivators to turn over overnight.

In order to attract more cultivators to go to the Fuyun Mountain Range to search for spiritual items, Guiyunfang often deliberately releases some news about ordinary loose cultivators finding high-tier spiritual items.

When Li Mu was mixing in Guiyunfang in his early years, he had seen many young cultivators like these two. After hearing the news of others getting rich overnight, they swarmed into the Fuyun Mountain Range.

Seeing these two people leave the restaurant with excited faces, Li Mu smiled and shook his head, then continued to taste the delicious spiritual food on his table.

Since there was this old guy Feng He by his side, in order not to expose the secret of the remnant map on his body, Li Mu had not left Mount Funiu much for more than ten years, and he did not dare to reveal the ability of the remnant map to quickly restore magic power in front of him at all.

In order to keep this secret, for these ten years, Li Mu had no way to rely on the help of the remnant map to draw spiritual talismans to exchange for spirit stones. The savings he had accumulated in his storage bag before had now been spent almost entirely. Now, being able to eat such a spiritual food feast can be considered a relatively extravagant thing for him.

As his cultivation base gets higher and higher, the pills and spiritual items needed for daily cultivation are also getting more and more expensive. Spirit stones have now become very important to Li Mu. If he doesn't hurry up and send this great god Feng He away from his side now, Li Mu himself feels that he is about to be unable to hold on.

This is also one of the reasons why he made up his mind this time and hurried down the mountain to solve this matter. Feng He, this kind of Nascent Soul old monster with profound cultivation, has never followed many rules in his actions. If he really finds out the secret of the remnant map, it is hard to guarantee that this old guy will not be tempted.

Not long after the two people sitting on the side left, a thin-looking yellow-clothed man came to the second floor. Ignoring the restaurant waiter who took the initiative to greet him, the yellow-clothed man glanced slightly on the second floor and then headed straight for Li Mu's location.

"Senior, the matter you asked me to inquire about last time already has some clues." The yellow-clothed man walked to the front of Li Mu, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"Oh! Don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly!" Li Mu beckoned to the person who came and signaled him to sit down and eat something together.

After the yellow-clothed man sat down somewhat embarrassedly, he looked at the table full of delicious spiritual food but did not dare to pick up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, only slightly drinking a cup of spiritual wine that Li Mu handed to him personally.

"Senior, just a few days ago, some cultivators in the market saw people from the Sihai Gang appear near Mount Longyun. Mount Longyun is a chaotic stone mountain, and very few people go there. It is estimated that they have a high possibility of hiding there."

"Good! You did a good job on this matter. You take these spirit stones first. As long as I can successfully find them this time, I will definitely thank you again when I return."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he took out more than a dozen spirit stones from his storage bag, handed them to the yellow-clothed man, and then stood up and left the restaurant.
