229: Fortunately, Mulan is really stupid

"Li Mu, your name is Li Mu, right?"

Seeing Li Mu, Xing Mulan excitedly ran over, a smile blossoming on her face.

Li Mu, hearing Xing Mulan's words, showed a slight smile, but he didn't expose the meaning behind her words.

Instead, he nodded slightly and knowingly asked, "Why are you here?"

"Oh..."

Xing Mulan chuckled, scratched her head, and then said, "I was just passing by... hehehe."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Mu's faint smile, as if to say, 'Do you think I believe that?'

"Alright... it's just that I plan to return to the capital city after some time, so I thought I'd come to say goodbye to you..."

"The world is changing too much now. My parents said it's not safe for me to be here alone, so they want me to go back..."

Li Mu sat on a roadside bench, listening quietly until she finished speaking.

Then he said with a faint smile, "Since that's the case, then go back. With the current changes in heaven and earth, it is indeed very unsafe to be out alone."

"Moreover, who knows, you might even have an unexpected harvest when you go back."

Hearing Li Mu say this, Xing Mulan was startled and subconsciously asked, "What kind of harvest?"

However, Li Mu just smiled and shook his head: "On your way back, outside the capital city, there's a Phoenix Mountain, and on it, there's a dilapidated Phoenix Temple. Go take a look there, and perhaps you'll find out."

This Phoenix Temple was something Li Mu had accidentally discovered when he visited the capital city once before.

Moreover, this temple was completely dilapidated, with weeds over a meter high inside, so it could be utilized.

Li Mu had also specifically investigated this temple; it had already been in ruins for over a hundred years.

Coupled with the fact that no one had ever managed or rebuilt it, it had become what it was today, making it perfectly usable.

As for Xing Mulan, with her naive personality, if he didn't directly point out the location to her, she might not actually be able to find it!

Hearing Li Mu say this, Xing Mulan still didn't react, but she still said, "Oh."

Then she also sat down next to Li Mu and said, "I heard Sister Ming say that she has also joined the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, and now I rarely see her."

Li Mu glanced at her faintly, knowing that the Sister Ming she spoke of was Ke Ming.

"Sometimes I really envy Sister Ming. If I also had superpowers and became a Cultivator like Sister Ming, I would definitely teach that Linglong of yours a lesson!"

Xing Mulan said, not forgetting to raise her fist. She still remembered that grudge!

First, they cursed at each other through the door, and then she was even conscripted to barbecue meat for Linglong all day, and finally, Linglong even left her alone in Kunlun!

She felt that her enmity with Linglong was irreconcilable...

Li Mu: "..."

It's just, little girl, is it really okay to say that in front of Linglong's owner?

Moreover, with Linglong's current strength, perhaps throughout the entire world, apart from him and Wu Ya, there wouldn't be a third person who could be its opponent!

Of course, this excluded the top-tier Yao Beasts and Spirit Beasts on the five newly emerged Continents.

Their strength was much greater than Linglong's...

"Sister Ming also told me a lot about the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, like Zhu Ping, Mao Yushi, and Ji Jiangxue, who has merged with Mount Tai. I feel like my understanding has suddenly broadened."

Xing Mulan talked on, while Li Mu listened quietly beside her.

When he heard these names, he couldn't help but recall the experiences he had shared with these people in the simulations, and he smiled.

As Xing Mulan was talking, she turned her head and saw Li Mu's expression, and she was immediately stunned.

At this moment, she realized Li Mu's identity, so she decisively chose to shut up.

Then she quickly got up, even forgetting the purpose of her visit, and hurried away.

As she ran, she also said, "I'm leaving first. If there's a chance in the future, we'll meet again in the capital city..."

After she finished speaking, she was gone.

This action left Li Mu stunned.

It took him a while to react, then he smiled and shook his head.

Then he also got up and walked in a certain direction.

...

Now that he had tried applying this Qi Cultivation Technique, which could mobilize all Daoist classics.

Then, the next step was to release another Qi Cultivation Technique related to martial arts.

Li Mu was no longer bothered by whether the Qi Cultivation Technique had appeared in the past.

Even if it had appeared before, but no longer existed now, there was nothing to dwell on.

Moreover, as for why the Legacy was broken later, and whether those immortals truly existed.

He would naturally verify these matters slowly in due time; random speculation now would yield no results.

Furthermore, Li Mu had already decided that after releasing this Cultivation Technique, the subsequent plans would be temporarily put on hold.

He intended to first improve his own strength.

Recently, he always felt that his strength was insufficient and that he couldn't truly glimpse the world's secrets, which made him a bit frustrated.

Therefore, he was now somewhat eager to improve his cultivation.

Moreover, with the amount of Deception Points he currently possessed, if all of them were used to improve his cultivation, it would definitely be a huge leap!

It might even be possible to directly enter the Void Refining Combining with Dao stage...

...

On the other side, in the Grand Elder's office in the capital city.

Just as the Grand Elder and the Second Elder were discussing how to arrange the next steps for the Five Continents.

The office door suddenly knocked, interrupting their conversation.

Both of them looked towards the door simultaneously, and the Grand Elder said faintly, "Come in!"

Soon, the door opened, and a guard walked in from outside: "Grand Elder, someone just reported that a special lightning anomaly was discovered on Wudang Mountain, suspected to be caused by a transcendent being."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this news, both of them were startled.

The Grand Elder inquired, "Where exactly on Wudang Mountain is it?"

"Clear Water Temple on Wudang Mountain!"

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment.

The Grand Elder said to the Second Elder beside him, "Who in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau is currently available?"

The Second Elder replied, "Their respective missions have been completed, so most of them are free. They are either in the training room or honing their combat skills in the training Small World in the East Sea."

"Hmm..."

The Grand Elder nodded: "Since that's the case, then send Qin Zhe, Jin Meiting, and Lan Kun to go and investigate the situation."
