I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 498: Return in vain, Li Mu’s test.

Jun Jiuling bit his lower lip tightly with his pearly teeth, looking aggrieved, as he watched Li Mu change a jade slip every several dozen breaths.

But from beginning to end, he never spoke a word to her.

It’s over, it’s over, she is really disliked.

"Eh?" At this moment, after Li Mu tried the last jade slip, he suddenly uttered a doubtful sound and opened his eyes to look at the jade slip in his hand.

"Dog, Li Mu, is it done?"

Jun Jiuling's eyes lit up and turned into a light pink beam. He instantly came in front of Li Mu and said in an urgent tone,

"Li Mu, Li Mu, is it okay now, is it..."

However, Li Mu shook his head slightly, raised the jade slip in his hand and asked,

"This is the Mohist technique, right?"

Li Mu discovered that the method of guiding Qi into the body in this martial art called Jianxin Baiji was 90% similar to the self-discipline he had practiced before.

Only some of the details are slightly different.

"Could it be that the internal skills that people practice nowadays are all modified from these skills?"

Muttering to himself, Li Mu carefully savored what was written in the jade slip.

I discovered that the person who modified the technique is simply a genius.

The three kinds of qi that are practiced in martial arts today, blood qi, essence qi and true qi, are just substitutes for spiritual qi.

From taking from heaven and earth to being self-sufficient.

It’s a pity that human power will eventually reach its limit. This modified technique is, after all, only the most basic part of the path of cultivation.

No wonder there is a saying that one must cultivate to the highest level before one can enter the realm of the highest grade.

"Li Mu...are you okay?" Jun Jiuling looked at Li Mu who was pretending to be relaxed and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Li Mu shook his head, took a deep breath, and said with a smile,

"It's all fate and destiny. I'm fine. I just feel a little bit impressed by the wisdom and perseverance of the ancient sages."

"You said you were fine, but now you're talking nonsense!" Jun Jiuling pursed his lips and stared at Li Mu, saying with a worried tone,

"Is this what you should say? You should say that this technique is useless and give me back my Zhenguo bellyband!"

"Yeah?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Wouldn't it be possible for someone to pretend for a while?

Then he glanced at the scattered jade slips of the techniques on the ground and sighed.

"I should have thought of it earlier. I have tried practicing other internal skills before, but they were useless."

"No, no, there is another skill." Jun Jiuling gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

Li Mu glanced at her and asked, "What technique does the empress practice?"

"Yeah!" Jun Jiuling nodded vigorously with a determined look, but a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu simply shook his head and said, "If you don't learn, the worst that can happen is that you will die."

"Why! It's better to give it a try than to..." Jun Jiuling wanted to persuade her again, but she saw Li Mu looking at her with a playful look on his face, and he said three words lightly, "Ruthless Dao?"

"You... um." For some reason, Jun Jiuling felt relieved. He then stared at Li Mu very seriously and said word by word,

"You bastard, I will never let you die."

"Who said I'm going to die? If nothing works, I'll just think of another way. At worst, I'll have to fight Shan Yuan...hiss------"

As Li Mu was speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forehead.

Jun Jiuling was shocked, thinking that the seal loosened too quickly. The key point was, what was wrong with this person? He had no connection with that person, so why did he have such strong hostility?

My mind was racing, and I said urgently,

"Damn man, there is a way, there is a way!"

"Wow..." Li Mu took a deep breath, rubbed his temple with one hand, and looked up at Jun Jiuling.

"There should be a few second- and third-level magic weapons in the treasure house. Xun Meng can absorb the spiritual energy from them. When I recover, I will... I will... I will help you open up your tendons and meridians. Yes, open up your tendons and meridians."

Jun Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief and almost told you that he would help you destroy the slave seal.

Li Mu looked at her strangely. Her words were incoherent and it was obvious that she was hiding something from him.

Especially Jun Jiuling’s lying ability is not as good as Xiao Zhao’s.

However, Li Mu had no intention of exposing the truth. If the other party didn't say anything, it would be useless for him to ask again.

Now I am interested in the treasure house.

Li Mu nodded and said nothing more.

Jun Jiuling then guided Li Mu to the back hall of the palace.

It is called a treasury, but in fact it is just another room, which contains some weapons collected by the empress.

Seeing that the room was not full of gold, silver and jewelry, Li Mu immediately lost interest.

Especially these weapons, most of them have lost their spiritual energy and are covered with rust, which directly prevents Li Mu from taking them for himself.

"You bastard, pay attention and prepare to complete the rest of Xun Meng's content."

Jun Jiuling gave a reminder, and the shadow turned into a stream of light and drilled into Li Mu's palm.

Li Mu was already familiar with this kind of thing. He just raised his wrist and Xun Meng flew out from his palm.

Threads of spiritual energy quickly gathered towards Xun Meng.

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, Xun Meng was really too rogue. This method of devouring ownerless magic weapons to improve himself didn't seem like a righteous act no matter how you looked at it.

It’s a pity that this time only nine words were added to Xun Meng.

It's better than nothing.

"You bastard, that's all. Most of the spiritual energy in these weapons has been absorbed by Tao Yao. Do you want to pick a few weapons? Or you can take them all."

Jun Jiuling asked weakly, seeming a little embarrassed and wanting to compensate Li Mu.

Li Mu glanced at the various magical instruments in the room, thought about it and shook his head.

"Forget it. It's too difficult to manipulate these magical instruments. If I'm not careful, they can drain me dry."

Li Mu thought of his experience of controlling the Ai Qi needles to fly. With his current strength, it was okay for him to have magic weapons that possessed spiritual energy, but these that required the consumption of spiritual energy to activate were really useless.

Moreover, if you look closely at these things, you will find that they are not ownerless, and Jun Jiuling cannot be considered the owner of these things.

It is understandable to take some things to save lives, but to take them by force... Li Mu is not that shameless.

"Yeah, without spiritual energy, these are really useless." Jun Jiuling responded listlessly, and from the sound of his voice, he seemed to be even more depressed than Li Mu.

Li Mu thought about it and asked tentatively,

"I wonder when Jiuer can recover?"

Hearing this, Jun Jiuling's expression froze, and he said in surprise,

"Yes, if we find another holy-grade magic weapon, wouldn't Xun Meng's rank be able to be restored to its peak?"

"What is right? Are these two things related?"

Li Mu realized that he couldn't use normal methods to test this old baby, so he said unhappily,

"It's up to you to say this."

"You bastard! I know where to find a holy weapon. We'll set off right away. Do you hear me?"

Jun Jiuling didn't care about Li Mu's ridicule at all and spoke in an almost commanding tone.

Li Mu rolled his eyes, feeling that this old BABY was becoming less and less reliable, and sneered,

"I know that too. How about you talk to Taoyao and ask her to contribute her spiritual energy?"

Jun Jiuling was stunned. Even if a Saint-level magic weapon did not have a spirit, it still had some intelligence. It was simply not something they could handle at the moment. Her pretty face flushed red as she said stubbornly,

"What should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for you...you...oh, I don't care, let's go find a holy-level magic weapon!"

"You idiot, why don't we just look for magic weapons that haven't reached the Saint level?"

Li Mu was secretly complaining in his heart, but Jun Jiuling was anxious to train Meng to restore his rank, and was obviously hiding something from him.

Although Li Mu trusted Jun Jiuling emotionally, he didn't like to hide things.

He pretended to be in deep thought and suddenly got an idea and asked,

"By the way, Jiu'er, I remember when we first met, you seemed to have mentioned a person who also practiced the Qinglian Huasheng Jue. Do you still remember him?"

"You mean, that lecher!"
