Chapter 526 - The Chaotic Natural Qi
Chapter 526 The Chaotic Natural Qi
On the ground were six Natural Expert masters wearing different clothes. The one speaking was a young man in a blue shirt. He dressed as a young warrior, carrying a longsword on his back. He looked at Li Mu with a sense of pride and superiority, as if Li Mu was a small plaything.
However, with grass weed tied around his waist, his body naked, hair and eyebrows burned, and a dark complexion, Li Mu indeed did not look good. It wasn’t surprising that he was called a monkey.
The leader of the six masters, who had a beard and was maybe in his 30s, said to Li Mu, “It isn’t a monkey but a savage man on the border of Nie Dragon Mountain. Hey, did you see a siren in green?”
In an instant, Li Mu clearly sensed a whiff of power from the rock in the pool behind him. However, the power was withdrawn immediately. It was evident that the green mermaid hiding in the dark could hear what happened on the shore and was extremely nervous.
However, those six masters didn’t sense the power.
After all, their perception was far less strong than Li Mu’s.
Li Mu shook his head but said nothing.
“Really?” The young warrior in the blue shirt drew his long sword and pointed between Li Mu’s eyebrows and then said, “But I warn you, that siren is a fugitive of the devil cult. If you harbor her, you will be the enemy of my Four City Alliance. The result will be that all the tribes of savage men in Nie Dragon Mountain will die with her.”
Li Mu still shook his head and said nothing.
Not only Louis Cha Jing-yong and Gu Long, but also so many masterpieces and TV series told people the truth that the devil wasn’t always evil and the decent weren’t always righteous.
As he couldn’t tell the personalities of these people, he might as well be a passing traveler.
“Only shaking your head but saying nothing, are you dumb?” said the man with a beard, who frowned and looked at Li Mu.
This savage man was different from those average savage men, as he was slenderer. However, there was no Natural Qi flowing in his body. It seemed that he wasn’t a disciple of the Devil Cult in disguise. Rumor had it that the savage men around Nie Dragon Mountain had a dark complexion like coke and didn’t speak the official language. Li Mu was consistent with the common savage men in Nie Dragon Mountain.
“Search the surroundings,” said the man with the beard.
The others shifted their attention away from Li Mu and searched the whole valley carefully. One of them infused Natural Qi into a silver compass, which then glimmered, in order to search the siren. The compass needle turned and pointed to somewhere. He once stared at the pool on the shore for a long time but found nothing in the end.
“Let’s search another place. We must find that siren,” said the bearded man.
The young warrior pointed to Li Mu with his long sword and said, “How should we deal with this savage man? How about we kill him?”
The man with the beard said, “No, he’s just a small potato and has little significance. Killing him might irritate the savage men tribes in the mountain. Those savage men can’t threaten us, but it would be very troublesome, as they are fearless once they go insane. Let’s go.”
The young warrior in the blue shirt bitterly pointed to Li Mu with his sword and made a gesture of beheading. He sneered, “Hehe, a small potato.” Afterward, he, along with other people, rose to the sky with a sneer and turned into a flash and disappeared into the sky far away.
Li Mu mocked them in his heart, but he didn’t fight against them.
No sooner had he grabbed a suit from his storage space when he heard a faint sound of someone coming out of the water. A crash came, and then a cold and sharp machete reached out from behind Li Mu and then was placed on his neck.
A light and refreshing fragrance came.
“Why did you help me?”
Her voice was as cold as the snow on the peak of snowy mountain, and her tone had an inherent indifference.
The handle of the machete was held by the green mermaid’s delicate and pure white hand. The green clothes still stuck to her body. Because it wasn’t safe enough, she didn’t cultivate methods to dry her clothes.
Li Mu didn’t turn around but shook his head.
“Are you really dumb?”
She looked at Li Mu with her piercing eyes. With wet, long, green hair sticking to her temples, she had a unique charm and coldness. The machete at Li Mu’s back moved slightly to threaten him.
Li Mu still said nothing.
“Get out. Don’t let me find you again.” Seeing Li Mu’s cowardice, the girl showed disgust on her gorgeous face. After a little hesitation, she said, “You’d better run as far as possible. Otherwise, I will behead you directly.”
Before, she would definitely have killed this savage man in case he might give away her whereabouts.
However, this savage man had just sent the masters of the Four City Alliance away, saving her indirectly.
Disciples of the Devil Cult would distinguish kindness from hatred clearly.
Even under such a circumstance, she couldn’t violate her principles and requite kindness with enmity.
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders.
She was quite a character.
He was about to go. However, the gorgeous girl in green behind him suddenly shone with black light on her face. The wounds that she had suppressed suddenly burst out. A blood arrow came out of her mouth and then the machete slipped out her hand. She became weak and fell on Li Mu, unconscious.
She held Li Mu’s waist subconsciously.
“Should you do this?”
Li Mu shook his head helplessly.
What could he do? She was a beauty!
What’s more, Li Mu had an intuition that the beautiful girl in green had a bad temper, but she wasn’t evil. Fine, he would save her.
Heaven took pleasure in the welfare of living things. Save a life and you were in high heaven.
He put on the suit taken from the space storage and then held on to the girl and left Nie Dragon Mountain.
Along the way, he encountered many pursuers of the Four City Alliance.
However, Li Mu’s power was beyond imagination.
Because of fighting against the thunder and lightning, he was devoid of Natural Qi and couldn’t fly. However, his powerful flesh could totally defeat those strong masters. What’s more, he had a sharp intuition and could fly swiftly in the mountains. Therefore, it was easy for him to escape those pursuers.
At sunset, they got to the periphery of Nie Dragon Mountain.
Without finding a town, Li Mu stayed in a valley against the wind in the wildness. He formulated a tactical deployment to collect Spiritual Qi and kindled a fire. He put the girl in green on the hay and fed her a pill to heal her.
Sitting on a rock with his legs crossed in the middle of the tactical deployment, Li Mu started to cultivate his power and absorb Spiritual Qi to heal his wounds.
With the help of the Natural Qi Collection Diagram, the Natural Qi was much thicker than that outside.
The Spiritual Qi here was barely enough to meet the demand for cultivating Xiantian Skill.
With Li Mu’s rhythmic breath, the Spiritual Qi around formed a visible air vortex that headed toward Li Mu. The greenery within 20 meters was undulating as if it were worshiping Li Mu.
A familiar comfort circulated throughout his body, like a good rain after a long drought. The Spiritual Qi was fostered into Natural Qi by the Xiantian Skill. The Natural Qi assimilated into Li Mu’s limbs and bones and nurtured his dried flesh.
Two hours elapsed.
It was already midnight.
There was only one moon on this world, which was the same as the earth.
The vast majority of Spiritual Qi in the area within five or six kilometers was absorbed by Li Mu. Therefore, the tactical deployment was dispersed and lost its effect.
After finishing the cultivation, Li Mu stood up to stretch himself.
The carbon substance on his skin left by thunder cracked and disappeared gradually. His muscles, eyebrows, and short hair emerged. He looked like a man now.
“It’s strange that the newly produced Natural Qi is more solid, clear, and powerful than before. It seems to be a novel power like Chaotic Qi. Is it because I had been to Earth and experienced the depletion of Spiritual Qi and went through the catastrophe of Heaven? Then some changes took place in my body?”
Li Mu carefully felt the changes and his face brightened up.
Although the Natural Qi produced in his body was as thin as a hair and was a far cry from that of the peak time, it was a good beginning.
“With this speed, the Natural Qi in my body could fully recover in two or three months. Let me call the newly produced Natural Qi the Chaotic Natural Qi.”
Li Mu was very satisfied with the progress.
The girl in green still had her eyes closed in a coma.
However, it seemed that she fell into a long nightmare. In the moonlight, there were grief and alarm on her pure white face. She kept murmuring the word Grandma. It was obvious that she had a very good relationship with her grandma, who was the most important person in her life.
Unconscious as the girl in green was, she was extraordinary charming.
If Hua Xiangrong was a classical and innocent beauty and Wang Shiyu was an independent and modern beauty, then this girl in green was a remote and cool beauty. She was definitely no less exquisite and beautiful than Hua Xiangrong and Wang Shiyu.
Especially in a coma, her face was so lovable and even had a sense of sorrow with her light green hair.
Even Li Mu couldn’t resist and he looked at her for a while.
Ye Wuheng had a nightmare.
She dreamed that she went back to the past. 16 years ago, her parents were engulfed by the huge fire in the Ye manor. In a hurry, her aging grandma held her and rushed out of the fire sea.
She tried her best to turn around and shout to see her parents’ appearance. No matter how hard she tried, she could not see them clearly. Everything was engulfed by the fierce fire. Her grandma took her to escape. However, they were pursued by some men in black whom she couldn’t see clearly. Her grandma was severely hurt and shouted at her to escape.
“No, Grandma! If we die, we should die together.”
She cried and suddenly turned over to sit up.
The nightmare vanished.
The wind blew gently, and the river flowed slowly. With the soft and clear moonlight, the greenery cast a shadow on the ground.
It was very quiet. A light, strange fragrance came from behind her.
Ye Wuheng was a little startled. She was in confusion for a moment. However, she immediately recalled what had happened before and became alert.
When she looked back, a blazing bonfire on the bank came into view. Beside the bonfire, a strange young man in a long white gown was carefully roasting a fish strung with a knife.
That strange fragrance came directly from the roasted fish.
