Chapter 43

Mu Yi went back to the mountain after he went to the shop Peng Mi had told him about and left without disturbing anyone .

He told Peng Songlai that he had to go back to the mountain to prepare some things and he knew that the murderer had a target .

Mu Yi went back to the mountain because he needed help . The murderer was really strong, so Mu Yi had been planning for this from the beginning . He had never thought that battles had to be fair . For him, getting help was better . He didn’t like suffering or risking his life .

Luckily, Mu Yi wasn’t stubborn and didn’t think that he could overcome any obstacle on his own, so he decided to take Nian Nuer with him .

Nian Nuer was small, but she was a ferocious ghost after all . Mu Yi didn’t underestimate her strength . Without his copper lamp and charms, Mu Yi couldn’t compete with her .

If the enemy had been a ghost, Mu Yi would’ve just used his copper lamp because it was enough against weaker ghosts . However, Mu Yi’s enemy was a cruel and terrifying murderer this time, a human on top of that . Mu Yi couldn’t take any risks .

Mu Yi had attacked Xugui by surprise, but Xugui had still escaped into thin air . Mu Yi didn’t want to make the same mistake again .

After going back to the mountain, Mu Yi told Nian Nuer what he thought . Nian Nuer was really happy to help Mu Yi, and she was extremely happy to go down the mountain .

However, it was best to wait until the evening . After Mu Yi told her everything, he went back to his room and calmly prepared ink for his brush .

On the ink stone, Mu Yi mixed cinnabar and fresh blood, which kept intertwining . Then, Mu Yi started polishing it, and a mysterious glossy light appeared . It was difficult to imagine the color created by fresh blood and cinnabar mixing together .

Mu Yi then stopped and took his paint brush, or, more precisely, a talisman brush . It was a special brush made for creating charms and talismans . The handle was made of jade, and the hair was made from yellow weasel hair . It was neither light nor heavy when used .

Since Mu Yi had managed to draw the five thunders charm, by a lucky coincidence, he had never stopped practicing . However, he had never managed to draw it again, and it was as if something was missing .

The thing that was missing was probably the most important part of the charm .

However, Mu Yi didn’t stop practicing, and the feeling that his perception was improving grew . He had the impression that he was going to succeed if he continued .

He remained calm and serene . He drew naturally and didn’t try to force things because he knew that he would succeed at the proper time .

However, he really needed the five thunders charm for the situation because it was his most powerful charm .

This time, he was going to have to fight against a powerful human; therefore, the exorcism charm was useless . The body protection charm wouldn’t be very useful either because both were charms that were only useful against ghosts . The evil spirit slaying charm was a little useful, but it was still much better against ghosts .

The only charm Mu Yi knew that was more useful against humans was the five thunders charm . It was a way to strike quickly, and it had explosive power . It was also very difficult to protect oneself against it .

When Xugui used his Ghost King Banner to protect himself against the five thunders charm, the banner broke in two . Even though it was partly due to the material used to create the banner, the five thunders charm still had explosive power .

Therefore, Mu Yi hoped that he’d manage to make a five thunders charm because it was the only way for him to defeat the murderer .

Mu Yi kept painting calmly and serenely, his body motionless .

He kept thinking about that time he had managed to make the five thunders charm . Back then, he had been stuck between the first and second level, so it had been difficult . But after having chaotic thoughts, he had managed to calm down and create a five thunders charm .

Besides, after succeeding, he had even leveled up . He had achieved the second level of the Heart stage .

Human and earth fusion? Mu Yi kept thinking, but he wasn’t sure . Even though the old Taoist Priest had shared his memories with him, he didn’t remember everything clearly . He remembered something about human and earth fusion, but the memories weren’t clear . Maybe he couldn’t understand it properly because his cultivation level was too low .

Besides, human and earth fusion was probably easier said than done . It was probably a long process, something you had to understand step by step . It would then give someone explosive power .

Mu Yi frowned . He thought really hard and tried to remember what had happened the first time . Back then, he had ignored the small details, but they were still a part of his personal experience after all . And finally, after Mu Yi wracking his brain, he managed to excavate some memories .

The time he succeeded, he unknowingly released the strength of his mind, and it had resonated with nature .

It had allowed him to understand on a deeper level . He hadn’t done it on purpose though, but that was way that he had managed to make the five thunders charm .

Let nature take its course?

Mu Yi suddenly shook his right hand on the ink stone, and he then started drawing, the red ink glistening under the light .

“Swish, swish, swish!”

Mu Yi started painting in a vigorous calligraphic style, and a five thunders charm appeared in front of him . It kept glistening and looked like it was going to condense . However, in the end, everything suddenly dispersed, and it broke apart .

The paper on the taper also started to burn and turned to ashes .

He had failed again, but Mu Yi had never had this happen before . His magic charm had turned to ash? Back then, when drawing exorcism charms and evil spirit slaying charms, he had also failed, but they had never started to burn .

When he succeeded in drawing an exorcism charm, it usually emitted a pale light, and the light wasn’t as dazzling as that of the five thunders charm .

The more dazzling the light was, the more explosive the charm would be .

Even though he had failed, Mu Yi didn’t look dispirited . On the other hand, he was happy . He had finally almost managed to make a five thunders charm, which would be much more powerful than his exorcism charm . Besides, the five thunders charm already used the strength of the earth and sky, which was why the five thunders charm was much, much more powerful than the exorcism charm .

Besides, Mu Yi also understood why he used to fail all the time back then .

In order to make a five thunders charm, it undoubtedly had to do with the Awakening of his Mind .
