The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 31

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Li Mu frowned and opened the door of the practice room.

Outside the door, Feng Yuanxing, the secretary, was standing anxiously with sweat all over his head.

"What’s the matter?" "What’s up?" asked Li Mu.

Li Mu was not happy when the process of practicing meditation was interrupted, but he did not directly blame Feng Yuanxing because he understood Feng Yuanxing knew how far to go and when to stop although he was a flatterer. It was the first time for Feng Yuanxing to interrupt Li Mu’s practice so there must be something very important to inform Li Mu.

"Adult, the lower official has had a major event, and I have to interrupt your cultivation to report." Feng Yuanxing’s face is ugly, and the voice is depressed. It’s a bit sneaky and close. "Your honor, I accidentally found out something very important, and have to interrupt your practice to report it." Feng Yuanxing looked very nervous, lowered his voice, approached Li Mu, which was kind of sneaky, and said, "Your honor, Li Bing’s identity is a little tricky."

"What do you mean?" "What do you mean?" Li Mu seemed surprised.

"I found some printed things on his body. If there is no guess, this Li Bing is the youngest son of the famous magistrate Li Gang." "I found some official seals with him. If I am not wrong, this Li Bing is the youngest son of Li Gang, the magistrate of a prefecture." Feng Yuanxing showed an awkward look, and his legs seemed trembling. Today, Li Mu had beaten the son of his supervisor badly in public senselessly, who was kind of like a pig now, and that might cause great trouble.

D*mn it!

Li Mu felt really speechless and thought did the old faker forgot to see an almanac when he sent him into this planet, otherwise, he could always make such kind of trouble when he wanted to fight with others and be really pretentious?

Li Mu just provoked the two giants Bloody-moon faction and Taibai Sword Faction, and then he immediately offended his superior, which made him naturally a guilty person in both officialdom and the Wulin World.

Li Mu felt somewhat wronged.

Since you were the son of the magistrate of a prefecture, why did you say it earlier? Did you intentionally wait for me to make a mistake?

"What’s so great about being a magistrate of a prefecture? Even a prince should take the same penalty as the common people if he breaks the law and commits a crime. I am not to allow myself to be pushed around." Li Mu felt more and more wronged when he thought about that and thus became more and more excited. In the end, the ruffian spirit in the deep of his personality erupted again. His anger started from his heart and he turned evil into courage, so he made up his mind and gritted his teeth, saying, "Anyway, I’ve already offended them. You don’t think so much about it. First, lock these b*stards in prison for me. If they don’t obey, you just beat them hard. By the way, have you found the secret books of martial arts and warfare skills?"

When Feng Yuanxing heard it, he got an impulse to cry.

"Following such an unreliable master, it is really hard to say that was a blessing or a disaster. At this time, should you still think about the secret books? Shouldn’t we discuss how to deal with the tricky question of Li Bing?"

However, he did not dare to say that. He just dodged his body, revealing a medium box behind him, and said, "Your honor, what I have collected from Li Bing and other people are in this box. I have searched it by myself and no one else knew. Except for some secret books of martial arts and warfare skills, there are still some messy things that you may use. I have sent them all on my own initiative."

Li Mu observed it contained a whole box of things and thought in that case, did it mean a good harvest?

He was happy in his heart and thought finally, there was good news.

He took the books and nodded, saying, "Okay, this time, you did a good job. I will remember to reward you."

Having said that, Li Mu seemed to have forgotten other things. He turned around and went back to the

Feng Yuanxing quickly followed him, saying, "Your honor, things already happened, and we’d better let Li Bing and other people…" He made a gesture of cutting his neck, saying, "Destroy the corpses, and there will be no evidence of their death." Even many people saw Li Mu beat Li Bing and his fellows today on the street, so what! Li Bing did not say his identity on the spot.

Li Mu took a deep breath several times in his heart, and could not help looking straight at Feng Yuanxing carefully.

D*mn it. This flatterer Feng Yuanxing was really cruel and merciless.

However, Li Mu thought for a moment, shaking his head, pretended to be profound and said, "No, Just keep them alive first. They will be useful in the future."

As for the exact use, Li Mu did not have a clear idea at all.

The reason why Li Mu did not kill Li Bing and his fellows was that he simply did not want to kill them, and Li Mu thought they should not be punished to death, but more importantly, he did not want to be led by Feng Yuanxing.

"Yes, sir." Feng Yuanxing had no other choice but say yes.

Li Mu turned around, took two steps but suddenly he turned back and said, "Oh, well, these days, are there many people from Jianghu to Taibai County?"

Feng Yuanxing nodded and said, "Exactly. Many people from Jianghu were attracted to because of your honor’s fight with Boody-moon Evil Master. Those Jianghu people really enjoyed this kind of event. Since ancient times, Jianghu people always violate a ban because of fighting. When there are many Jianghu people in the county town, they do not normally follow the rules and thus more friction is produced. We officers cannot deal with them properly, just like today when…"

That was a complaint.

There were not hundreds of elite guards in Taibai County, and it was really difficult to deal with this situation when there were so many people from Wulin.

"Don’t care about them. Just assign some people to pay attention to the whereabouts of these outsiders, especially, to record the great masters of Jianghu, such as which faction they come from, how their strength is, what they have done in the county, who they have met and where they have lived, and record those details, compile them into one book and hand it to me."

Li Mu left with such an order and turned to the practice room.

"Well?"

Feng Yuanxing still wanted to say something, but he was shut out.

He did not dare to knock on Li Mu’s door again.

Just when Feng Yuanxing was about to leave with a bitter smile, the door of the practice room opened, and Li Mu stuck his head out from inside, saying, "By the way, call the craftsmen in the county, work day and night, to make strong shackles more. Hurry up. They must be firm and durable, and can lock martial arts masters up."

After that, with a bang, the door to the practice room was closed again.

"What? Shackles? This… Yes, sir. "

Feng Yuanxing could not figure out why Li Mu prepared so many shackles.

But the county magistrate shut himself up again in the "little black house" to practice, so he could not ask more questions, but could only respond instinctively.

In the practice room.

"D*mn it. What are these messy things?"

Li Mu was speechless.

He opened the box handed in by Feng Yuanxing. It seemed that he had opened a glove box with a lot of things in it.

Li Mu wanted to see the secret books of martial arts quickly, so he looked at all of the books first and then took out a paper book that looked like the secret skills of martial arts.

That book was very thick, its binding was very delicate, and the paper was also exquisite, which seemed to be a valuable tactic of martial arts.

As a result, Li Mu was really shocked when he had seen the big words on its cover.

"Thirty-six Moves of Doing Sex?"

Li Mu laughed.

"D*mn it. No wonder he can molest woman on the street. It’s really eye-opening to carry such a high-level academic research paper of doing sex. I’m really impressed. His professionalism is far better than the average person." He opened it up and found there were actually some indescribable contents and illustrations. However, the level of these manual illustrations was too low, which made Li Mu, who had seen many of sex movies of Janan on the earth, had no interest at all.

Li Mu threw that Thirty-six Moves of Doing Sex away and continued to rummage through the box.

Then he saw some human skin masks. Then he saw some human skin masks. Then he saw some human skin masks.

These masks were flesh-colored, thin as cicada wings. But Li Mu did not know if they were peeled off from human skin, so although they were really exquisite, he was not interested in them at all. He would feel nauseous and abnormal if he wore them on his face.

He threw it aside again.

Keep looking.

Li Mu saw a few small porcelain bottles of the size of a palm.

Li Mu looked them carefully and found those bottles had something written with red lacquer, which said, "Spring Aphrodisiac", "Female Philter", "Love Potion" and so on. After reading these names, Li Mu knew that the things in those pottery bottles must be philters used by dirty people. He was really curious, and almost opened a bottle to sniff it, but then he immediately realized that was simply silly, so he stopped that behavior.

After thinking about it, he put these bottles on the shelf of the practice room.

In addition, Li Mu also found all various stuff in the box, such as steel hook locks, sleeve arrows, darts, wire mesh, wigs and so on, which really broadened his horizon. He finally saw those things that could only be seen in the martial arts novels on the earth.

"D*mn it, it seems that this time I didn’t beat them wrong. These things are the proofs that Li Bing and his fellows are really rubbish. They don’t do good deeds, kind of like hooligans or thieves."

Li Mu cursed them while sorting these things out in order and hiding them.

Then he saw a few pamphlets at the bottom of the box.

Li Mu took one of them out and looked at its name, and his eyes flashed a trace of surprise.

"The Way of Changing Looks by Transforming Muscles and Bones?"

Li Mu was suddenly worried when he saw the word "transforming".

Wasn’t it a pervert martial arts to change sex?

He instantly remembered several famous pioneers who had transformed themselves from men into women, such as Dongfang Bubai, Yue Buqun, Lin Pingzhi and so on. Although Li Mu wanted to learn earthshaking martial arts, he also had a bottom line. Cutting his penis off to become a woman was absolutely unacceptable.

Li Bing was really a pervert. What kinds of pervert martial arts books did he collect?

Li Mu condemned Li Bing in his heart while opening several pages at random.

However, after a while, Li Mu showed a serious look.

"The so-called ‘Muscle Changing and Bone Transforming’ refers to changing some external characteristics of one’s own muscles and bones through some special skills, thus changing one’s height, figure and appearance, and then becoming another person… That’s interesting."

But The Way of Changing looks by Transforming Muscles and Bones aimed at changing a person’s look completely in a certain period of time through changing a person’s muscles and skeleton shape by the help of the strength and skills of martial arts, which could be called cosmetic surgery in the world of martial arts.</p><p>Li Mu sat cross-legged with a book in his hand and read it carefully.</p><p>Until finishing this book, he couldn’t help but utter a sigh.</p><p>"The content of this book is not a hoax."</p><p>That was Li Mu’s conclusion.</p><p>Because he found that according to the skills described in the book, it was really possible to change his appearance in a short period of time. The more proficient the martial arts practitioner was, the easier it would be. It involved the operation of internal qi and some methods of muscle training, and that was well-founded, and not an absolute mystery. It seemed not so rare in the Jianghu world of martial arts on the mainland of Shenzhou.</p><p>"It is a pity that only those masters in Joint-qi level who have mastered internal qi can practice and master this transformational method."</p><p>Li Mu felt a little disappointed.</p><p>Some of the key techniques and methods described in the book required the cooperation of internal qi.</p><p>"Just look at the rest stuff."</p><p>Li Mu began to dig the box again.</p><p>At last, he found out some secret books of martial arts, such as "Jade Breaking Sword", "Left Handed Method", "Secret Training of Qi Formula", "Lightning Steps", "Qi Cultivation and Method of Expiration and Inspiration", "King Kong Kongfu" and "Inspiration Formula". There were about a dozen copies in total, which were definitely a good harvest, besides; most of them were nine-grade secret books, which were more superior than the books collected from Shennong Faction.</p><p>Li Mu just began to learn martial arts and had a strong obsession with it. Apart from the mission he shouldered, did any hot-blooded teenager not have a heroic dream of "explore the world with a sword"?</p><p>He was not picky, and he began to open those books and read them thoroughly, carefully studying and absorbing the knowledge, really intoxicated as if he was drunk into another world.</p><p>Time passed by swiftly.</p><p>One night passed by quickly.</p><p>The next morning, the little boy Qing Feng delivered Li Mu’s breakfast to the door of the practice room, but Li Mu, who was addicted to learning, did not have time to eat it.</p><p>Until the morning of the third day, Li Mu finally read all the secret books of martial arts carefully.</p><p>Squeak!</p><p>The door opened.</p><p>When Li Mu came out of the practice room with dark circles around his eyes, Qing Feng and Ming Yue who guarded him outside the door were all shocked.</p><p>"Young master, you got dark circles around your eyes…"</p><p>"This is a sign of kidney deficiency… Young Master, what on earth did you do in the practice room?"</p><p>The two little children, especially the violent and adorkable Ming Yue, exclaimed exaggeratedly.</p><p>Li Mu covered his forehead with a serious look.</p><p>"What do you little children know about kidney deficiency? Don’t talk nonsense… Go ahead; give me a bowl of snake meat soup. I am a little hungry." Li Mu’s mind was filled with innumerable information and flickering inspiration. After reading dozens of secret books about martial arts, he had a deeper understanding of it, and at the same time, he felt a little hungry.</p><p>That kind of state was just like the state of mingling spiritual satisfaction and physical fatigue when walking in the mountains in the morning after staying up all night to watch martial arts fiction on the earth, which was pleasant and full.</p><p>The little boy Qing Feng hesitated, and he looked at the little girl Ming Yue.</p><p>Ming Yue then said hesitantly, "Well, Young Master, there’s bad news, and you may not be happy to hear it, but the fact is… we don’t have the green dragon snake meat anymore."</p><p>"How is it possible?" Li Mu was shocked. "That snake is enough for the three of us to eat for about half a year. How come </p><div> <span style="font-size:10px;">Advertisement</span> </div> it’s gone?"<p>Ming Yue showed a shy expression and did not speak.</p><p>Seeing that, Qing Feng had to summon up courage and explained, "Young Master… It is because, lately, Ming Yue has a good appetite." That meant the adorkable and violent Ming Yue had eaten all the rest snake.</p><p>Li Mu felt incredible and looked at Ming Yue.</p><p>The latter was very sincere and nodded her head, saying, "Young Master, don’t look at me in that way… In fact, I eat a little more… just a little bit more."</p><p>Li Mu was suddenly speechless.</p><p>"Am I raising a cute girl or a pig?"</p><p>"How could she eat so many?"</p><p>Everyone should remember that alien python was almost turning into a boa dragon, which meant it was not only huge in size, but also rich in blood, energy, nutrition, and medicinal properties. An average person would feel completely full with a few pieces of snake meat every day. If he or she ate too much, he or she would get sick because of excessive blood and qi, so even a warrior dare not eat more.</p><p>These days, Li Mu also relied on the alien boa meat to maintain the training of Zhenwu Boxing.</p><p>And what kind of monster was this violent and adorkable Lolita? How could she eat up the boa constrictor’s meat secretly?</p><p>If they calculated carefully, they would conclude that Li Mu and Qing Feng ate less than one-third of the green dragon python, and the remaining two-thirds were all into the stomach of Ming Yue. However, there was no much difference of her compared with the way she looked before, except that her skin was whiter and more glittering, and she did not even become taller… What kind of monster was she?</p><p>Ming Yue looked at Li Mu with her big eyes, and her eyes flickered all the time, then she said pitifully, "Young Master, will you think I am good-for-nothing? Will you abandon me because of that? But I am really hungry. The worst is that I will eat less later… I will try to control myself. Okay?"</p><p>Li Mu moaned weakly. "Come on, it’s just a snake… Now, just bring anything that I can eat now from the kitchen. I have to fill up my stomach first."</p><p>Ming Yue cheered up, "Long live the Young Master."</p><p>It was after a while.</p><p>In a small room of the front office, Li Mu felt comfortable after he devoured a whole table of food quickly.</p><p>He patted his belly satisfactorily, stood up and walked back to the practice room.</p><p>After reading those secrete martial art books, Li Mu had many ideas in his mind, which needed to be verified.</p><p>The little boy Qing Feng looked helpless after seeing that. He quickly went up and grabbed one of Li Mu’s sleeves.</p><p>"Why? Anything else happened?" Li Mu looked at him.</p><p>Qing Feng was exasperated at Li Mu’s failure to make good and tried to persuade him. "Young Master, you haven’t managed the county for a long time. There are still a lot of government affairs. You need to handle them… If you keep doing that, people in Taibai County will only know that there is a secretary Feng Yuanxing but not a county magistrate."</p><p>The little boy Qing Feng was really anxious.</p><p>Since Li Mu came to Taibai County, Qing Feng witnessed his Young Master gradually degenerated from the youngest scholar in an empire with bright future to a brute man who only knew how to practice swords or sticks. It was okay for Li Mu to practice martial arts because he could also build up his health, but the problem was, as a county magistrate, he could not always ignore the county government affairs and abandoned his duties.</p><p>Had his Young Master Li Mu already lost his mind if he continued to do that? Then, just like the former county magistrate of Taibai County, would he be out of mind and then eventually resigned from office and went directly to the deep mountains to seek for Taoist immortals.</p><p>Be sure to let Young Master realize his own mistakes.</p><p>Qing Feng was really worried and deeply felt that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders.</p><p>Li Mu heard what Qing Feng said and thought about it for a while. He nodded and said, "You’re right. That’s right. In the future, the county affairs can’t be decided by Feng Yuanxing alone." Hearing this, Qing Feng was delighted and thought that his Young Master had finally followed his sincere suggestions. Who knew Li Mu went on to say, "Well, in the future, you should also supervise the county affairs, discuss with Feng Yuanxing and make decisions together."</p><p>Qing Feng suddenly felt everything turned dark before his eyes and almost fainted.</p><p>Although he said so much, it seemed he cast pearls before swine.</p><p>"Young Master, I don’t mean that…" Qing Feng was about to explain.</p><p>Li Mu had already left quickly and disappeared at the corner in the distance, and he went to the practice room to practice martial arts.</p><p>"Alas." The little boy sighed helplessly.</p><p>"Young Master has changed." He rubbed his temples like a little adult.</p><p>"Yes." Ming Yue nodded her head as if she got the same feeling as Qing Feng and said, "Yong Master is getting more and more normal."</p><p>"You…" Qing Feng glared at Ming Yue and thought that, wasn’t Li Mu getting more and more abnormal?</p><p>While they were talking, Feng Yuanxing rushed into the small room in a hurry with sweats all over his head after informing them. He began to talking as soon as he walked in. "Your honor, there’s something wrong… Well? I was told the county magistrate stopped practicing martial arts and where is he?"</p><p>"You are late. My Young Master has begun to practice again." Ming Yue smiled.</p><p>"So fast?" Feng Yuanxing suddenly changed into a disappointed look and said, "What can I do about it?"</p><p>"Mr. Feng, what happened?" asked the little boy Qing Feng after raising his head.</p><p>"In the county, there was a riot among people from Wulin: people from Huya Faction and Sky Dragon Faction had a big fight, which caused several people died. Now people from both sides are gathering, and I heard that there will be another big fight. I am afraid it will make great troubles and bring the whole county into turmoil," Feng Yuanxing rubbed his hands and said.</p><p>The little boy Qing Feng thought about it, rubbing his temples, and said, "Well, it’s really a bit tricky. Both Huya Faction and Sky Dragon Faction are big factions that have set up for more than sixty years on the Northwest Wulin World. Although they are not as powerful as the Bloody-moon faction, they’re always eager to become imperial clans and thus raise many great masters. Besides, their relationship is complicated and difficult to deal with and they’ve already resented each other for a long time. It’s really a disaster if they begin to fight in our county… Did they affect ordinary people when they first fought?"</p><p>The little Qing Feng was really circumspect and farsighted as if he were a grownup.</p><p>Feng Yuanxing had an illusion of facing his superior officials and answered subconsciously, "There were not too many people died or injured, but several bold people got minor injuries when they watched the fight. However, nowadays, people in the county town are panicked, and the two factions are very arrogant, claiming to kill all of its opponents, besides, the place where they will fight again is in the city… Over the years, Jianghu people have become more and more reckless."</p><p>…</p></div><h3>Chapter 32 The Wind Rose and the Clouds Began to Gather
