Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

This immediately made Li Mu start to think about what method he could use to poison them.

As the banquet reached its climax, taking advantage of the crowd's merriment and lively conversation, he quietly approached the Three Emperors, clutching a deadly poison in his hand, his gaze sinister and ruthless.

However, fate is unpredictable. Just as he was about to sprinkle the poison on the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor, a sudden gust of wind swept by, and the attendant serving him accidentally bumped into him, causing the poison in his hand to fall into the cups of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor instead of falling accurately into the cup of the Human Emperor Fuxi.

Oops!

Li Mu was startled. Fortunately, his powder was colorless and odorless and drifted in the air, making it difficult to detect. Otherwise, he would have almost missed it.

However, he never expected that all his medicinal powder would be knocked into a cup, and all the medicine could only be used on King Fuxi.

Well, for now we can only play along. Poisoning Emperor Fuxi and destroying his cultivation might not be such a bad thing.

Just as he was secretly pleased, Li Si rushed over, grabbed his hand, and pulled him forward without saying a word.

This made Li Mu feel anxious and uneasy.

Soon, Li Si, the leader of the Hundred Schools of Thought, led Li Mu to Ying Xuan: "Your Majesty, this is Li Mu, a newly emerging genius among the Hundred Schools of Thought. His learning is profound and his insights are unique and insightful."

Ying Xuan's gaze was sharp as he looked Li Mu up and down, a hint of caution in his eyes: "Oh? In that case, I will test you. What should be the most important task in governing a country?"

Seeing that his identity had not been exposed, Li Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly adjusted his mindset, bowed respectfully, and calmly replied, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should take the well-being of the people as the foundation, agriculture and sericulture as the basis, vigorously develop water conservancy, and attach importance to education. Only in this way can the country prosper and the people live in peace and contentment."

Ying Xuan nodded slightly: "Your insights are acceptable."

He then inquired about numerous military strategies and cultural heritages, to which Li Mu answered fluently and confidently.

It must be said that he did have very unique insights into governing the country and ensuring its stability.

Ying Xuan looked satisfied: "Li Si, the disciple you have taken in this time is excellent. I hereby appoint Li Mu as a third-rank official. I hope that you will serve the Immortal Qin wholeheartedly in the future and live up to my expectations."

Li Mu hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude, feigning an expression of being flattered and overjoyed, while secretly sneering in his heart.

However, while talking with Li Mu, Ying Xuan keenly sensed an indescribable eerie aura about him and kept it in mind without making a sound.

After the banquet, Ying Xuan led everyone to the palace gate to see off the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as they departed.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, riding on auspicious colorful clouds, their robes fluttering, gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Ying Xuan stared in the direction they had gone, a strange sense of unease rising in his heart, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

He secretly vowed to strengthen his vigilance, protect the peace and tranquility of the human race, and never let the lurking conspiracies succeed.

In the days that followed, Xianyang appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were surging and dangers were lurking everywhere.

Kunming lay in wait within the military camp, constantly monitoring any movement within the army, seeking a new opportunity to create even greater chaos.

Li Mu, having gained Ying Xuan's favor, began to ingratiate himself with the emperor in court, attempting to further implement the insidious schemes entrusted to him by the Ancient Buddha Dipankara. One day, Li Mu unexpectedly encountered Xiao Tian and other members of the demon squad in the city.

Xiaotian's eyes revealed a sense of vigilance and wariness. He whispered to his companion, "This kid exudes a sinister aura."

Zhu Feng nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "Yes, judging from his appearance, he is definitely not a good person. Let's find an opportunity to find out more about him."

Li Mu also noticed the strange looks from Xiao Tian and the others. He snorted coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant and brushed past them. However, a hint of sinister ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in Kunming, various rumors were secretly spread in the military camp, claiming that the poisoning incident in the army was a punishment and warning from heaven to Xian Qin, causing panic among some soldiers and unrest in the army.

However, his every move did not escape the keen eyes of some generals, who secretly increased patrols and strengthened security to prevent any further accidents from happening.

Since his last success, Kunming has become increasingly audacious, completely unaware that the Xianqin army now has numerous spies operating within its ranks. No one's every move escapes their notice.

Moreover, these people used special secret methods to attach their gaze and spiritual power to other places so that it could not be seen from the outside.

Therefore, when Kunming passed by them or even just glanced at them, he did not notice anything unusual about these people.

Meanwhile, Xiaotian's monster squad had sensed something was off ever since they encountered the gift last time, so they immediately set off to secretly follow Li Mu and observe his every move.

Even in the palace, Ying Xuan remained vigilant. He summoned his trusted ministers, including Li Si and Xin Sheng, to discuss countermeasures: "I have a feeling that something is amiss in the city lately. Li Mu's appearance is too strange and abrupt. Have any of you discovered anything?"

Li Si frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, Li Mu should be fine. I will keep a close eye on Li Mu's every move and report to Your Majesty immediately if anything unusual happens."

Cold sweat had already seeped from Li Si's forehead. He didn't believe there was anything wrong with the disciple he had chosen.

But he also believed what Ying Xuan said. Since he felt that Li Mu was problematic, then he must be. This made him wonder if the tomb was actually a spy sent from another region.

Xin Sheng also clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and said with a resolute expression, "Your Majesty, I have already dispatched more elite soldiers to the military camp to strengthen patrols and vigilance. If that treacherous ghost dares to make any further moves, I will make sure he never returns."

Ying Xuan nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Alright, we must ensure the safety of our Immortal Qin and never let the mastermind's conspiracy succeed."

As time slowly passed, the tense atmosphere in Xianyang City grew increasingly intense and heavy.

Kunming and Li Mu knew that their actions had to be more secretive and cautious, while Ying Xuan and his ministers were also doing their best to find them.

at the same time.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were each immersed in their cultivation, but the tranquil atmosphere was broken by a violent cough from Fuxi.

The Yellow Emperor was the first to notice something amiss and instantly flashed to Fuxi's side. Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, and others also cast concerned glances their way.

The Yellow Emperor's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on Fuxi, and he asked anxiously, "Brother Fuxi, what's wrong with you? Your aura is so chaotic, and your spiritual power seems to be constantly dissipating!"

Fuxi suppressed his discomfort, his face as pale as paper, and slowly shook his head, saying, "I don't know why, but recently when I cultivate, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that I absorb is not only unusable, but it is also being lost at an accelerated rate. Now, even mobilizing the spiritual power within my body has become extremely difficult." (End of this chapter)
