"Let's call it a day!" "I didn't expect the battle to be so simple!" Just as he was about to withdraw his spiritual energy, he heard ghost howls from behind him, getting closer and closer. Looking at the still burning golden silk sandalwood incense, he thought to himself, "Not good." He hurriedly put away the sandalwood, which had yet to be completely burnt, and rode on his spiritual energy to fly in a certain direction.

The flustered Bai Mu arrived at a huge ravine. He looked behind him and saw the ghosts that were about to catch up to him stopped a hundred meters away from the ravine. They lingered around, not daring to move forward, but they had no intention of leaving either.

Seeing the appearance of the ghosts, Bai Mu knew that there must be some sort of dangerous object hidden within. Seeing the evil spirits guarding the exit, Bai Mu also walked inside. It was alright to fight against two or three of them, but this dozen of floating objects might still be a little difficult to deal with! Since you want to gain experience, then you should be a bit more ruthless towards yourself! "

Thirty minutes later, Bai Mu arrived at a pool of water. He crouched down and put his head into the pool of water. After a while, he stuck his head out. Ye Zichen shook his head, causing the water droplets to fly around as well. A cool feeling immediately assaulted him. He let out a loud and comfortable breath and sat down on a small rock by the pool.

As soon as he sat down, Bai Mu began to survey his surroundings. He thought to himself, "I think there must be something dangerous here, so I have to be careful along the way. However, not only did I not feel any danger during the past hour, there was a surge of righteous energy filling the mountain stream." Could it be that there was someone decent here? Or is it a god? "

While he was still puzzled, a light reprimand sounded out in Bai Mu's ears.

"How dare you trespass into the forbidden area. "If you know what's good for you, quickly leave! Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

Even though he was reproached, Bai Mu didn't seem to have any ill intentions. In fact, there even seemed to be a trace of urgency in his tone. Thinking that he didn't have any ill intentions, he bravely said, "This junior was only chased to this place by that evil ghost.

"No!" "Get out now!" This time, the voice was even more urgent, as if he was holding back something.

Before Bai Mu could get to the bottom of this, a loud shout was heard accompanied with a series of explosions. One after another, massive fireballs rained down on Bai Mu. As a mortal, Bai Mu was unable to catch the fireballs.

"Little brother, I was hit by this forbidden area's curse and had no choice but to attack you. I will do my best to reduce the strength of my attack and it will all be up to you!" The voice from before rang out again. One of them, the patient Bai Mu, could clearly hear his words. While dealing with the incoming fireballs, he said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior. Bai Mu will do his best!"

The person in the shadows secretly sighed at Bai Mu's foresight and added, "As long as I can endure for half an hour, my attacks will stop!"

Every time the Spiritual Energy struck out, the fireball that welcomed him would be destroyed. The power of the Five Water Rat existed within Bai Mu's body, so naturally, when the fireball touched the spirit, Bai Mu himself would feel a deep burning sensation. Of course, the majority of the pain was blocked by the Five Water Rat.

Although the Five-Water Gerbil only existed in Bai Mu's body as a form of Spiritual Energy, it still felt the pain of having a physical body.

Of course, the damage received by the Wishui Sandstorm was entirely dependent on its master's strength. The stronger its master was, the smaller the damage it took. With Bai Mu's current level, the result could be easily imagined.

Bai Mu could feel the pain and suffering of the Wishui Sandstorm Mouse. He calmed it down without saying a word and transferred all of his strength into it. Combined with the power of the Wushui Sandrat, it actually doubled the attack power of his Spiritual Energy.

Slowly, Bai Mu and the Wishui Sandstorm's teamwork grew closer and closer. They had reached a state where their minds were interlinked, and the intensity of the battle increased. The effects of the fireball also became less and less.

The contact between the fire and the spiritual force caused the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly. The scattered fireballs flew in all directions, turning the darkened sky crimson red.

"You really have some skills!"

Not only was Bai Mu not injured by his consecutive attacks, he did not even look exhausted at all. The more he fought, the more valiant he felt! Looking back at the spirit energy he had used, it was something he had never seen or heard before. For a moment, he felt a surge of curiosity towards this impenetrable youngster.

An hour had passed very quickly in this battle without any tiredness. The last fireball had disappeared by itself in midair.

He straightened his clothes and poured a handful of water onto his face. Bai Mu felt comfortable and relaxed as the wind from Tan Du blew against him. He closed his eyes to enjoy the slight coolness, but his heart seemed to be thinking about something else.

"It seems as though the Penta-Water Rat has truly begun to accept its master! Although the power of the Penta-Water Rat had existed in his body for a long time, he had always been indifferent towards it. Unless he used extreme methods, it would definitely hide in the deepest corner to watch him make a joke of himself. Looks like I still have to properly thank this battle, so I can truly gain a bit more strength. "

"You seem very satisfied. Aren't you afraid that I'll give you another move?"

Bai Mu laughed. "Of course! If senior wanted to kill me, why wait until now? "

"Ha ha-ha, you are indeed a well-informed person! However, it would be best for you to leave this place right now. Four hours later, I will be able to launch a new attack at you. That person reminded him with good intentions.

"No rush. Don't we still have four hours?" Without senior's guidance, I'm afraid we won't be able to continue down the road! " Bai Mu felt an inexplicable sense of goodwill towards this person. Therefore, Bai Mu wouldn't hide his purpose in coming here.

"Hur hur, what a strange person!" After a pause, he continued, "Let's find me first!"

Bai Mu initially wanted to use the voice to determine the location of the person, but the person seemed to have done it on purpose, as his voice echoed in the four directions of the air. It gave people a feeling of estrangement.

Bai Mu was still thinking of how to invite him out when the man opened his mouth first. At this moment, the Free and Unrestrained Child's rune came into effect, and Bai Mu saw that on the previously empty slope, a white-robed Daoist sat cross-legged. Although he was sitting there, it did not pale in comparison to the transcendent power radiating from his body.

At this moment, that person was staring at Bai Mu with astonishment, bewilderment, and disbelief in his eyes.

Bai Mu smiled and was about to walk forward when that person raised his hand to stop him. "Little brother, you can't go forward! If you don't want to be held here like me, then stay where you are. " The old Daoist said solemnly.

"I can't even see through the formations that have been set up here, so I followed its path and ended up as the gatekeeper of this forbidden area. There was no choice but to attack when one entered the forbidden area. "

"Oh, so you're saying that we shouldn't be careless here!"

"Little brother, I wonder who gave you the talisman?" The Daoist stopped talking about what had just happened and turned to another matter.

"It's junior's master." Bai Mu replied.

"Free and Unrestrained Child!" There was a trace of excitement in the man's voice. Just when Bai Mu was astonished, he saw a man's mask appear in the air with a wave of his hand. Upon a closer look, he realized that they looked similar to each other, but that person was much younger than his Master.

Before Bai Mu could say anything, that person spoke first, "He is my only disciple!" There was a trace of guilt in his voice as he looked at the puzzled expression on Bai Mu's face. The Daoist laughed, "Look at the ashes of the burned talisman. Do you think they will form the word 'void'?" "That 'void' character is the first character of my name, and only the talisman that I drew will form the last character …"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mu walked closer to take a look. There was indeed a faint, illusory word.

"This talisman paper has condensed my spiritual power. At the critical moment, I can still get a chance to escape." For me, the person who drew the talisman, it is also something that can only be found but not sought. Before I leave, I will give him three talismans. It seems that your disciple has quite a bit of weight in his heart! "Brat, your movements are truly nimble. However, this is the first time I have seen you use such clever methods."

"Heh heh, it's hard to explain in a single sentence." Bai Mu had already passed on a few words, leaving him with less time than usual.

"Master Ancestor, what should I do to save you?" Looking at the terrain of this place, his brows furrowed even more. Obviously, he was not interested in feng shui issues at all.

"It's useless!" "In all these years, besides cultivating, I have also tried many other methods to break this formation. However, over the years, he had not been able to see the slightest bit of frown regarding the layout of this place.

If he took the wrong step, he would be pulled into the formation. The people in the formation would fight against each other uncontrollably, and they would not stop until they were killed. In the end, the person with the strongest ability became the formation genie.

As for you, you did not step into this trap, which was why you avoided a battle of life and death. Now, I can only say that the spiritual energy of the person who arranged this formation is stronger than mine. After so many years, no matter how hard I tried to break through my limits, I was unable to break this formation.

Sighing, he continued, "I don't have the chance to go out now. As for you, if you want to enter deeper, you'll have to increase your Spiritual Energy as well. "Otherwise, this path won't be easy!"

Bai Mu definitely understood the meaning behind the difficult path ahead. He said sincerely, "Grandteacher, I beg of you to offer me your guidance!"

"Forget it!" You are the disciple of the Free and Unrestrained Child, and besides, I really admire you. People all said that in order to increase spiritual energy, or to learn martial arts, one could rely on the secret manuals left behind by their predecessors and ascend in the Dao in one go. This is actually the biggest mistake! "

Even though he didn't know the meaning behind this grandmaster's words, he still listened attentively.
