No hope for eternal life

"Okay." Mu Xun agreed immediately.

The two of them immediately walked together, and after they left the town, Mu Xun couldn't help but ask Xiang Mu Changsheng: "What are the two talismans that Mr. Yang gave you?"

Mu Changsheng did not hide this and said directly: "The blue one is called Qingshen Fu, and its function is the same as your Huangzhong Fu, both of which are for protection. The other silver talisman is called Shenxiao Fu, which is an attack talisman. It can attack nine times, and the power of each attack is comparable to the full force of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

"What's in the storage bag that Mr. Yang gave you?" Mu Xun asked knowingly.

"This involves some secrets between me and Mr. Yang." Mu Changsheng said tactfully.

After Mu Changsheng finished speaking, there was silence between the two of them for a while. Unexpectedly, Mu Xun suddenly asked: "Is it related to the spiritual mine on the barren mountain?"

Mu Changsheng couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and looked at Mu Xun warily: "How did you know?"

Mu Xun said calmly: "I guessed it, and it seems that I guessed it right."

"Please keep this matter confidential." Mu Changsheng said solemnly. The matter of the spiritual mine was of great importance and must not be leaked easily. He aroused jealousy from others just because he was close to Yang Wuque. The spiritual mine was related to real interests. If it were to be leaked out, who knows how big a disturbance it would cause.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret." Mu Xun nodded. He suddenly mentioned the spiritual mine just to verify whether his guess was correct.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Afterwards, the atmosphere between the two fell into silence again, until halfway through the journey, when something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a white-faced man appeared in front of Mu Changsheng and the other person, blocking their way. The man had an astonishing aura and his cultivation was definitely far beyond the Foundation Establishment stage.

"It's you." Looking at the person who suddenly appeared, Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a little surprised. Even though he had guessed that someone might block the road, he was still a little surprised, because the person who blocked the road was actually Qin Minghan. He originally thought that Qin Mingyuan would be the one who appeared.

"It's me." Qin Minghan said with a bad face: "I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Hand over all your secret techniques and spirit stones, and I can swear a great oath to the devil in my heart and guarantee to spare your lives."

Mu Changsheng had the Divine Sky Talisman in his hand, so he was naturally not afraid of the threat at all. He just asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid of offending Mr. Yang?"

"I really can't afford to offend Yang Wuque, so I'm fighting here." Qin Minghan said coldly: "After I get your secret technique and spirit stone, I will fly far away. No matter how powerful Yang Wuque is, he won't be able to find me."

"So that's how it is." Mu Changsheng nodded secretly in his heart. It turned out that the other party was holding this idea. If Qin Minghan really succeeded and got his spirit stone and the secret technique of nine transformations of the physical body, it would be a huge profit. But unfortunately, the other party's plan was destined to fail.

"It can be considered as a lesson for me." Qin Minghan had given in before, so Mu Changsheng let his guard down. It turned out that he was waiting for him here. People's hearts are really unpredictable.

"Now, is it time to hand over the spirit stones and secret techniques?" Qin Minghan said coldly, his aura bursting out completely, instantly making Mu Changsheng and the other two feel as if a huge rock was pressing on them.

"Kill him." Mu Xun roared angrily. He had just learned about the power of the Shenxiao Talisman from Mu Changsheng and wanted to see it for himself.

On the other side, before Mu Xun shouted, Mu Changsheng had already taken out the Shenxiao Talisman, and a wisp of spiritual power poured into it at a rapid speed. The Shenxiao Talisman instantly shone brightly, and a lightning snake as thick as a bucket quickly sprang out from the Shenxiao Talisman, rushing out with the power to destroy the world.

However, the attack launched by Mu Changsheng was not directed directly at Qin Minghan, but at a small hill in the distance.

The lightning snake swept past, and the earth hill was instantly reduced to ashes, demonstrating the violent power of the Shenxiao Talisman.

"This." Qin Minghan was stunned. His aura collapsed instantly. He thought that if this attack was directed at him, he would have no chance of survival.

Mu Changsheng said to the dazed Qin Minghan calmly: "This talisman can be used seven times. Do you want to try again?"

Qin Minghan finally came to his senses after hearing this. He was immediately frightened to death and ran away quickly. It can be said that he ran at the fastest speed in his life.

Mu Xun, who was standing by, finally came back to his senses from the shock of the power of the Divine Sky Talisman, and then asked in confusion: "Why don't you kill him?"

In Muxun's opinion, Qin Minghan had evil intentions and there would be no regret in killing him.

"Have you ever killed anyone?" Mu Changsheng asked back.

"No." Mu Xun shook his head. Like Mu Changsheng, he had only walked out of the town once since he was a child, so naturally he had never killed anyone.

Mu Changsheng said sincerely: "I used this Shenxiao Talisman to kill a group of bandits before, but it still felt bad."

Then, Mu Changsheng explained why he didn't kill Qin Minghan: "With the Divine Sky Talisman, it is indeed a very simple thing to kill Qin Minghan, but what happens after killing him? First of all, Qin Minghan's wife and children will definitely hold a grudge against him, and secondly, the Qin family behind him may also hold a grudge against him. Now that I have scared him away, he knows that he can't afford to provoke me, so naturally he won't dare to provoke me again. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better not to kill him. "

After all, his parents lived in the same small town as the Qin family, so Mu Changsheng didn't want to make the relationship too awkward.

"Okay, you make sense." Mu Xun agreed with Mu Changsheng.

"Moreover, Mr. Yang said that cultivators practice to achieve immortality and freedom, not to fight for power and violence. Holding a sharp weapon will naturally give rise to murderous intent. Now that we have the Shenxiao Talisman, we should restrain ourselves even more." Mu Changsheng added. These words were spoken to Mu Xun as well as himself.

Mu Changsheng actually also had the idea of ​​killing Qin Minghan. If the person who came was Qin Mingyuan, who came to avenge Qin Xuan, he could still understand it. But Qin Minghan was a person who would not do anything without benefits, and wanted to steal his spirit stones and secret techniques, which was really hateful.

Before taking action, Mu Changsheng remembered Yang Wuque's teachings and stopped his murderous intent.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and the other person continued on their journey, until the early hours of the morning, when they finally arrived at Qihua City, exhausted.

The flow of people in Qihua City is much higher now than when Mu Changsheng came last time. I think it is because of the county examination.

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun queued up to enter the city. Both sides of the road were posted with notices, most of which were about the current county examination. Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun both looked at them carefully.

In addition to some competition rules, what interested Mu Changsheng the most was the ranking rewards of the county examination.

There is no limit to the number of people who can register for the Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Arts Test, but only the top 100 cultivators can receive rewards.

Among them, those ranked 51st to 100th will be rewarded with 300 medium-grade spirit stones.

The 26th to 50th place will be rewarded with 500 medium-grade spirit stones and a high-grade golden elixir.

The eleventh to twenty-fifth place will be rewarded with 700 medium-grade spirit stones and a top-grade golden elixir.

The fourth to tenth place winners will be rewarded with one thousand medium-grade spirit stones, a sixth-level golden elixir, and a set of top-grade second-grade spirit armor bestowed by the emperor.

The second and third place winners will receive 1,500 medium-grade spirit stones, a sixth-level golden elixir, a set of imperial third-grade spirit armor, and the title of baron.

The first place winner will be rewarded with 3,000 medium-grade spirit stones, a seven-turn golden elixir, a set of imperial third-grade spirit armor, and the title of baron.

"Well, the rewards are not bad. It seems to be an improvement compared to previous years." Mu Changsheng muttered to himself.

Mu Changsheng didn't care much about spirit stones, spirit armor, and titles. What he really cared about were those sixth- and seventh-turn golden elixirs, which were elixirs that were several times more precious than the condensed golden elixir and could help foundation-building cultivators condense even more powerful golden elixirs!
