On the second floor of the Library Pavilion, Luo Mu indeed found the figure of Bi Fan. However, in front of Bi Fan, an old man in robes was quietly reading the classics in his hand with one hand behind his back. Sometimes his brows were frowning, and sometimes his brows were relaxed as if he had gained something.

Bi Fan stood behind him quietly, with a respectful look on his face, not showing the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

The arrival of Luo Mu immediately attracted the attention of the two people.

Feeling the two eyes falling on him, Luo Mu was shocked, as if all the secrets in his body were revealed by these two eyes.

Fortunately for Bi Fan, although the spiritual power fluctuations emitted were extremely powerful, Luo Mu could at least feel it. The old man in front of Bi Fan gave Luo Mu a feeling that was simply unfathomable and could not sense the opponent's spiritual power fluctuations at all.

Luo Mu felt a shiver in his heart. Although his face looked normal, his heart was filled with turmoil. At the same time, Luo Mu also guessed the identity of the old man.

"Students have met the dean, who is this senior?" Luo Mu took a step forward, bent slightly towards Bi Fan, saluted with great respect, and then looked at the old man in front of Bi Fan.

"This senior is the elder of the Wanfa Sect. It was Elder Liu who fought against the sixth-level monster that day. Come over quickly and see Elder Liu." Bi Fan said calmly to Luo Mu with a straight face.

Sure enough! Even though he had already guessed his identity, Luo Mu couldn't help but be shocked when Bi Fan said it himself.

This is a strong man in the Golden Core stage, and I heard that he has reached the late stage of the Golden Core. Normally, a Qi Refining Stage monk with no background like Luo Mu would have to rely on luck to meet the Foundation Establishment monk. For a monk in the Golden Core stage, that is something that has never been thought of.

Standing in front of him was a master of the golden elixir stage, and he was at the later stage. Even though Luo Mu was normally moody, he couldn't control the excitement in his heart at this time, and was stunned in place for a moment.

The old man put away the classics in his hand and looked at Luo Mu with interest, a faint smile on his lips. Bi Fan behind the old man frowned and coughed lightly.

Luo Mu came back to his senses instantly, with an embarrassed look on his face, and hurriedly bowed respectfully to the old man.

"Okay, no need to be too polite. Let Bi Fan call you here today. In fact, I just want to see if any of the Jinxiu Academy can really break through to at the age of nineteen. Qi Refining Stage It's on the eighth floor. I couldn't believe it before, but now it seems that it's true." Elder Liu waved his hand, indicating that Luo Mu didn't need to be polite, and then said calmly.

After hearing this, Luo Mu remained calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart. Maybe it was just as Yang Qing said, his opportunity had come, Luo Mu couldn't help but think so in his heart.

I have just exchanged the monster heads for five high-level magic weapons. Luo Mu has not yet recovered from the excitement. At this time, there are good things to come. Can Luo Mu be unhappy?

In the world of cultivation, there are not many people who can break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage at the age of nineteen, but these people are basically people with strong backgrounds. They can get a steady stream of elixirs to assist their cultivation, and their cultivation level has improved rapidly.

There are very few monks like Luo Mu, who have no identity or background, who can reach such a stage by themselves at this age.

It was after hearing about Luo Mu's amazing talent that Elder Liu planned to meet Luo Mu, and also had the idea of taking Luo Mu as his disciple.

With the cultivation talent shown by Luo Mu, Elder Liu believes that as long as he is there to guide him, Luo Mu's cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. By then, he will be able to add a powerful disciple. It is also good to run errands for him.

When he saw Luo Mu at this moment, the old man's face was full of joy at first and he was quite satisfied with Luo Mu, but then, Elder Liu's face turned ugly.

This made Luo Mu, who was standing in front of Elder Liu, suddenly confused. The speed of turning his face was faster than flipping through a book. One second, his face was full of joy, but the next second, it turned into another expression.

"Stretch out your hand and let me take a good look." Elder Liu said to Luo Mu in a commanding tone.

Before Luo Mu had time to answer, regardless of whether he agreed or not, Elder Liu grabbed Luo Mu's arm, then closed his eyes and frowned, and began to examine Luo Mu's body.

In an instant, Luo Mu felt a powerful spiritual force forcefully rush into his wrist, and then go towards his limbs. Luo Mu, who seemed to have a calm face, actually became uneasy in his heart.

The superficial calmness is just an act.

Bi Fan stood behind Elder Liu with an expressionless face, saying nothing. In front of the old man, even though Bi Fan was the dean of the Jinxiu Academy, he had no right to speak, he was just a helper.

After a long time, Elder Liu let go of Luo Mu's wrist. The expression on his face was uncertain, and then he sighed with a look of regret on his face.

Withdrawing his arms, Luo Mu let out a deep breath, and his back was wet with sweat and he didn't even know it. But Luo Mu did not relax his vigilance because of this. In front of Elder Liu, Luo Mu felt unprecedented pressure.

Every word, deed, and expression of the other party affected Luo Mu's hanging heart. Seeing the regretful expression on the old man's face, Luo Mu guessed that he had probably missed this opportunity.

Sure enough, the old man's next words confirmed Luo Mu's suspicion.

"I didn't expect that the rumors in the past two days are true. You are indeed following the path of Poison Cultivator. I have just used my spiritual power to check your body. Not only is the spiritual power in your Dantian Poison Spirit Power, but also your whole body. The blood also contains highly toxic substances. Originally, I wanted you to give up practicing the poisonous path and start a normal cultivation path again, but now it seems that it is completely impossible. The poison has penetrated into every part of your body. If you want to make you resume a normal cultivation path, I don't have the ability."

Elder Liu sighed again, and then said regretfully. It seemed that he finally found a piece of beautiful jade, but it was full of cracks, which was a pity.

Luo Mu raised his eyebrows, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

"I asked you to come here. Originally, I was planning to accept you as a disciple, teach you the way of cultivation, and help you avoid detours. But now it seems that you have no chance with me. Alas... With such talent in cultivation, you have actually embarked on the third-rate Poison Cultivator road."

Elder Liu kept talking, his head shaking slightly at the same time. The old man quite disapproved of Luo Mu's path to Poison Cultivator, and his words were extremely direct.

But what Elder Liu doesn't know is that Luo Mu's cultivation level can be improved so quickly because of the poison. If he didn't follow the path of Poison Cultivator, Luo Mu wouldn't be able to gather spiritual power at all, and there would be no realm at all.

Of course, Luo Mu would not be stupid enough to tell this matter.

"It seems that I really have no master-disciple relationship with my senior, but I still thank my senior for his love." Luo Mu said with a helpless look on his face.

The expression on Luo Mu's face seemed to be that Luo Mu also regretted this matter.

"That's all, you can go." Elder Liu waved his hand and issued an eviction order to Luo Mu.

After discovering that Luo Mu had no value to him, Elder Liu was not willing to spend more time with Luo Mu, a junior like him. Luo Mu was equally happy in his heart, and after giving Bi Fan and Elder Liu another salute, he said goodbye and left.

It was a wasted trip, and although Luo Mu felt a little regretful, he had nothing to do. After careful consideration, Luo Mu felt that it might be a good thing not to become Elder Liu's disciple.

After all, the old man is not some Poison Cultivator, and he definitely doesn't know much about the poison path. After joining this person's disciple, Luo Mu believes that the other party will definitely not be able to give him any guidance on cultivation, and in the end he will have to figure it out on his own.

Moreover, Luo Mu doesn't know what the old man's purpose of accepting a disciple is. Whether it has bad intentions, no one can say. It's better if he doesn't have bad intentions. Once the other party doesn't have good intentions from the moment he accepts the disciple, then Luo Mu will be in trouble if he becomes a disciple.

Luo Mu knows his own situation better than anyone else. Luo Mu has no choice but to take the road of Poison Cultivator.

Not to mention that Elder Liu cannot change Luo Mu's current physique. Even if there is a way, Luo Mu will not agree. It is not easy to embark on the path of cultivation, and the speed of cultivation is much faster than other monks. Luo Mu will not give up no matter what.

If something goes wrong after changing his physique and Luo Mu is unable to gather spiritual power again, Luo Mu will be ready to cry without tears.

Therefore, when Elder Liu left Luo Mu intact, it was like an amnesty for Luo Mu. He felt a little regretful but also secretly rejoiced.

When leaving, when Luo Mu passed the door of the Library Pavilion, the old man Min Tian looked at Luo Mu with a half-smile. Luo Mu, who was confused in his heart, just smiled bitterly, said hello, and then left Library Pavilion.

Looking at Luo Mu's leaving figure, the old man Min Tian had a smile on his face. The smile was mysterious and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The elder really doesn't intend to accept this son? Although this son is following the path of Poison Cultivator, his cultivation speed is amazing. If the elder takes him under his sect, he will definitely become a big help to the elder in the future." After Luo Mu left, Bi Fan and Elder Liu did not leave. But Bi Fan looked at Elder Liu and said seriously.

"Hmph! Then why don't you accept this guy as your disciple?" Elder Liu snorted coldly and asked in a cold tone.

"This..." Bi Fan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to interface.

"Poison Cultivator's status in the world of cultivation is not high to begin with, and he is not loved by other monks. The status of Poison Cultivator is almost the same as that of demons in the world of cultivation. In our Wanfa Sect world, it is even more I don't think highly of Poison Cultivator. Although I can't say that everyone despises him, it at least makes other monks a little bit disgusted. If I accept this son, once word gets out, it will definitely cause immeasurable damage to my reputation."

Elder Liu glanced at Bi Fan with an impatient look on his face, but he still expressed his thoughts.

"Besides, even though the speed of this child's cultivation has increased very quickly, whether he can succeed in Foundation Establishment depends on his luck. You have also gone through that step in the past. I don't think I need to remind you how difficult Foundation Establishment is. You should be very clear. Once this child has no chance to succeed in Foundation Establishment, what do you think I would do to accept such a little poison?" Before Bi Fan could speak, Elder Liu spoke again.

Bi Fan's expression changed slightly when he mentioned foundation building. Although Bi Fan had successfully built the foundation for who knows how many years, Bi Fan still remembered the difficulty of building the foundation. The success rate was indeed frighteningly low.

"Elder is wise, elder is thinking long-term, and my nephew has learned a lesson." Bi Fan nodded thoughtfully, then showed the original look on his face, and flattered Elder Liu.

"Hmph! Don't give me the ecstasy soup. Let's first talk about going to Blood-Colored Valley to eliminate the monsters in ten days. I always feel that the monsters attacking Jinxiu City for no reason this time is not that simple. From the looks of them, they seem to be coming for Jinxiu City or something."

Elder Liu snorted coldly, and did not accept Bi Fan's flattery. Instead, he changed the topic from Luo Mu and talked about the monster attack on Jinxiu City. He had a vague feeling that the sixth-level monster seemed to be aiming at something in Jinxiu City.

"Come for something in Jinxiu City?" Bi Fan had a puzzled look on his face.

(One of the foreshadowings laid before is finally resolved.)
