Chapter 236: That Is Your Heaven-Shaking Compass
Luo Dongyun’s eyes instantly lit up.
The only thing that could surprise someone in his position was a cultivation art.
And since Li Mu had said it so precisely, it was definitely related to cultivation arts.
As long as Li Mu had brought him a gift, never mind beating up a lapdog—even if Li Mu beat Meng Peipei up, Luo Dongyun would turn a blind eye.
As for whether Li Mu was giving him face?
There was no need!
“Good!”
“Should we find somewhere quiet?”
Luo Dongyun pointed toward the inside of the building.
Li Mu shook his head.
“No need. Right here is fine. It will be convenient for them to demonstrate the arts.”
A sharp gleam instantly flashed through Luo Dongyun’s eyes. As expected, it was a cultivation art.
“Mute Two, Mute Six, Mute Nine, Seventeen, step forward!”
Li Mu directly waved at the Mute Women.
It was as though the lapdog who had just been beaten, Meng Peipei, and the others behind him did not exist at all.
Meng Peipei had never experienced such an obvious feeling of being ignored before.
Ever since she came to this Military Merit Bureau, she had been a focus wherever she went.
But now, standing here, she was like some insignificant underling.
Li Mu flirted with his little girlfriend and chatted cheerfully with Luo Dongyun.
He did not even glance at her.
Among the Mute Women, four girls with exquisite features and perfect figures walked out.
And when Meng Peipei’s lapdog saw this group of Mute Women, his eyes practically spat fire.
Forget Wang Yinhuan.
Even if any one of these Mute Women was picked out at random, Meng Peipei instantly lost her appeal.
Li Mu already possessed a top-tier beauty.
Who would have thought he had an entire harem?
He called them disciples?
Who would believe that?
The key point was that when this group of women looked at Li Mu, their eyes held nothing but worship.
Aside from worship, there was still more worship.
There was no one else in their eyes at all.
This was simply every man’s dream.
Meng Peipei seemed to sense this as well, and her expression became even uglier.
“Begin.”
At Li Mu’s command, the four Mute Women paired off, two against two. They began fighting with saber, spear, fist, and whip respectively.
Li Mu was just about to explain to Luo Dongyun with a smile.
But Lu Chenfeng suddenly shouted from the side, “Good!”
Then he began clapping loudly.
Naturally, he was cheering for Mute Nine.
Zhang Zhiwei sighed speechlessly at the side.
In truth, they had privately talked about this before.
He had also advised Lu Chenfeng.
Mute Nine was single-mindedly following Li Mu to cultivate.
Why did Li Mu value the Mute Women?
It was precisely because he valued their mindset of having no desires for external things.
If they had been alone and remained immersed in the secular world, perhaps they might slowly have changed back.
But they did not want that. They gathered together and influenced one another. Day after day, they endured Li Mu’s endless resources.
They had already stepped onto a path of no return.
And Mute Nine’s progress among them was fairly near the top, which proved that her heart was even freer of distractions.
Lu Chenfeng’s one-sided love would never bear fruit.
Li Mu was even less likely to interfere in the Mute Women’s emotional affairs. Was he supposed to force Mute Nine to be with Lu Chenfeng?
How would that be any different from the painful suffering she had endured back then?
But Lu Chenfeng, that iron-headed fool, had actually said to Zhang Zhiwei, “You do not understand!”
“I like her, and that has nothing to do with her! Even if she rolls her eyes at me, I am happy!”
“As long as I can see her, I am happy!”
“If you are my brother, support me!”
Zhang Zhiwei could only praise him with one sentence: “What a devoted lapdog.”
As the Mute Women’s cultivation arts unfolded, a series of sharp clashes rang out.
Meng Peipei was instantly entranced.
This was?
Luo Dongyun was similarly shocked. He asked Li Mu, “This is? High-Grade Saber Art, the Wind-Subduing Saber? Hiss, no... Hiss! Something is different!”
Luo Dongyun’s eyes shone brightly.
He kept drawing in sharp breaths, making a frantic contribution to global warming.
Li Mu secretly praised him. Luo Dongyun was indeed experienced and knowledgeable.
He even recognized such an obscure saber art.
That was right.
This was Qin Zhanye’s signature saber technique, the Wind-Subduing Saber.
Among high-grade arts, it could be considered a strange existence. It was extremely powerful, but also very difficult to master.
However, with Li Mu’s five hundred years of insight reinforcing it, he had broken through the barrier of understanding.
Using the simplest and most straightforward method, he had turned it into a special-grade saber art.
In truth, Li Mu could absolutely have pushed it toward the immortal-divine second grade.
After all, when he used it himself, it was at that level.
But in order to promote it in paper format, Li Mu had to compress its quality while also considering its general applicability.
The current Wind-Subduing Saber was a special-grade saber art that could be widely promoted.
Putting everything else aside, a saber-wielding martial artist could now spend very little money to buy paper-format cultivation arts and learn both the Falling Leaf Saber Art and the Wind-Subduing Saber Art.
This was absolutely an enormous transformation for blade-type martial artists.
“This is the Wind-Subduing Saber, yes! But it is faster, stronger, more flexible, and it even has the ability to counter-shock and block!”
“This... this is simply...”
Luo Dongyun was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
Very soon, he discovered that the art being used against the Wind-Subduing Saber was none other than...
“Rainshadow Lotus Spear!”
“No, that is not right. When this cultivation art is used, it should be like rain falling upon lotus flowers, scattered like stars with spear shadows filling the sky.”
“It is a suppressive spear technique, but it consumes an extreme amount of True Essence.”
“But now it carries traces of the Wind-Riding Spear. It is both fast and agile, without the slightest sluggishness.”
“The spear shadows are real within the illusory, and while the True Qi consumption has been greatly reduced, its explosive power has also become extremely high. Its practical value is even stronger!”
“And this Ghost Shadow Whip...”
“And this Raging Wind Thunder Fist...”
As the Commissioner of the Military Merit Bureau, Luo Dongyun naturally recognized all of them.
He could see the principles behind each one.
Moreover, every single cultivation art was far, far stronger than its original version.
They were basically no longer even on the same level.
After watching for a full ten minutes or so, Li Mu finally had the Mute Women stop.
Luo Dongyun was still unsatisfied and seemed unable to recover from the shock.
Li Mu said, “Commissioner Luo, what do you think of the revisions to these four cultivation arts?”
“Beautiful!”
Luo Dongyun dryly gave one word.
But it contained all the praise in his heart at that moment.
Lu Chenfeng snorted softly and muttered, “Lecherous old pervert.”
The corner of Zhang Zhiwei’s eye twitched hard.
Surely you do not think he was praising your Mute Nine’s beauty?
Li Mu smiled and took out four thin paper-format cultivation art books.
He fanned them open in front of Luo Dongyun.
A simple, honest smile appeared on his face.
It just so happened that the words on the covers of the four paper-format cultivation arts were revealed.
“Commissioner Luo, I see that your eyes are as sharp as torches.”
“You should recognize these words, right?”
“These girls had never come into contact with the cultivation art stones for these sets of arts before.”
“I directly converted these cultivation arts into paper format and had them learn by following the books...”
Li Mu held the cultivation arts too close.
They were almost pasted onto Luo Dongyun’s face.
Luo Dongyun’s eyes tried to focus, nearly going cross-eyed.
After hearing Li Mu’s words, Luo Dongyun felt his vision go dark.
Li Mu’s meaning was very clear.
There was no need to doubt how difficult these cultivation arts were to popularize.
What Luo Dongyun had just seen was the result.
“Impossible! Let me see!”
Meng Peipei was frantic.
She rushed forward, intending to snatch the cultivation arts and take a look.
The cultivation arts just now were all at special-grade strength or even higher.
Even understanding them through cultivation art stones would be incredibly difficult.
How could they possibly be popularized in paper format?
However, this time, before Li Mu could act, Luo Dongyun’s Earth Rank divine might erupted with a crash and directly blasted Meng Peipei flying backward.
“Get lost! If you tear even one corner, I will take your life!”
Luo Dongyun was thoroughly enraged.
If this was real, he would practically want to enshrine these books!
And she actually dared to try to snatch them?
He had not merely lost his composure. Like Wu Zetian after becoming a widow, he had utterly lost his Li Zhi—and his reason.
With trembling hands, he reached out to receive Li Mu’s cultivation arts.
But Li Mu gently held his hand.
“Ah, Commissioner Luo, do not be in such a hurry. Where is that Heaven-Shaking Compass of yours?”
Luo Dongyun immediately frowned deeply.
“What do you mean, my Heaven-Shaking Compass?”
“Have you lost your memory?”
“That is your Heaven-Shaking Compass!”
