Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 259: Chapter 228: The Huge Changes in the Southern Wilderness_i

Seeing so many people opposing him and the lack of support from his trusted aides, Du Yu couldn’t help but waver.

Observing Du Yu’s changing expression, Xu Mu was left somewhat speechless.

You used me as a pawn, yet you hesitate when it’s time to offer rewards.

Initially, he had thought Du Yu to be a man of substance, now it seemed he had overestimated him.

Xu Mu suddenly understood why none of Du Yu’s subordinates were willing to support him outright.

Who would support someone who chases small profits at the expense of their principles?

“Since everyone has objections, then I will have to ask Elder Xu to bear with it for the time being. Once you have crafted the tier seven pill, I will personally clear your name!”

In the end, Du Yu decided to sacrifice Xu Mu’s interests to quell the communal anger.

Perhaps in his heart, he also felt that Xu Mu should not take it.

“I will obey the Hall Master’s orders.” Xu Mu said flatly.

He lacked power and influence, thus had no right to resist.

Of course, he could reveal his strength and flaunt his adeptness at crafting tier seven pills, which would effectively slap others in the face.

But it wasn’t wise to expose his trump card and invite troubles for such trivial benefits.

After discussing with everyone, they retained his selecting rights for the Martial Methods and a high-tier cave dwelling, while other aspects remained as per the original contract.

This essentially meant that despite being in the Golden Core Stage, he was still earning a Foundation Establishment Stage’s wage.

After this manipulation, Xu Mu was thoroughly disappointed in Du Yu.

He hadn’t even considered how normally a Loose Cultivator with freshly advanced powers would come up with enough resources to learn crafting the tier seven pill.

If he couldn’t craft the tier seven pill before the end of the twenty-year contract, not only would he lose his position as the Pill Hall’s administrator, he might even have to leave Fairy Moon Palace.

In such a case, what was there left for him to support?

No wonder he, being the Leader of the Pill Hall, couldn’t even handle his two deputies.

Xu Mu sighed internally.

After returning from the Pill Hall, Xu Mu began to move.

When his two disciples heard of his breakthrough into the Golden Core Stage, they were both overjoyed.

Initially, with their status, they weren’t qualified to become disciples of a Golden Core Stage inner elder. Now, they had unknowingly lucked out, and their status had significantly risen.

The area of the new dwelling was three times larger than before, with a field of four acres simply for cultivating medicinal plants. The concentration of Spiritual Energy had also significantly increased, causing the pair to be so excited they wished they could immediately sit down and cultivate.

“Young Master, that old guy has advanced!”

A servant rushed into the room, reporting to Du Beishuang.

“Old guy? Which old guy?”

Du Beishuang was somewhat puzzled.

“The one from the Pill Hall who completed the medicine formula!”

“Completed the medicine formula?!”

Du Beishuang paused, instantly realizing what was going on.

“What? How is that possible!! Are you sure you heard it right?”

Du Beishuang voiced his disbelief.

He remembered that the old man was visibly aging and on his deathbed and thus should not be able to advance successfully.

“I couldn’t believe it at first. I even went to the Pill Hall to confirm. It’s really that old man!” the servant insisted.

” How is this possible? How could such a thing happen in this world? Could it be that old man has some extraordinary divine medicine?”

Du Beishuang was completely baffled.

“Young Master, what should we do now?”

His servant knew what Du Beishuang planned to do with that pill formula. If Xu Mu leaked the pill formula, it could potentially bring about huge trouble.

“First, we have someone keep tabs on him! If he leaks anything about the pill formula, tell me right away.” Du Beishuang said with a furrowed brow.

“Don’t we want to kill him?” the servant asked, puzzled.

“You fool! He’s now a Golden Core Stage inner elder, not some ant by the road!”

With pent up anger, Du Beishuang kicked his servant to vent his frustration.

As long as Xu Mu stayed alive, he dared not use that pill recklessly.

“I understand, I’ll go and handle it now!”

He stood up and hurriedly left.

“Damn it! If I knew sooner, I would have sacrificed a bit to have him killed in the practice room!”

Du Beishuang’s entire body surged with energy, making the whole palace subtly tremble.

He had been scheming for this matter for a long time, and didn’t want a small cog in the wheel to cause a mishap.

“That old man must die!”

After tidying up the new cave house, Ye Bufan and Xiao Feng went down the mountain to buy spiritual medicine seeds and living necessities, while Xu Mu went to the Law Transmission Pavilion to select skills.

“Fairy Moon Palace is a major sect in the Central Domain and has existed for thousands of years. They have countless martial method scrolls. Perhaps I can find the skill or divine abilities I’m looking for!”

Typically, Golden Core Stage elders who just advanced would take this opportunity to choose a Golden Core Stage martial method to cultivate, but Xu Mu didn’t need it. His Kun Peng Tun Tian Jue is sufficient for practicing until the late Nascent Soul Stage. Even among the Nascent Soul Stage martial methods, it is still top-notch. He doesn’t need to give up the substance for the shadow and practice another martial method.

This time, Xu Mu wanted to find a method to conceal his aura.

He didn’t like showing off in public. Sneaking around and stirring things up in secret was his style.

Speaking of martial method scrolls, Xu Mu couldn’t help but think of the news received from the avatar in Tianhe Sect not long ago.

Tianhe Sect was destroyed!

Originally, with the status of the avatar in Tianhe Sect, as long as he stayed, he would eventually learn all the martial method scrolls of Tianhe Sect, and even have the chance to become the sect leader of Tianhe Sect.

But now, with the destruction of Tianhe Sect, everything was gone.

“How unlucky!”

Xu Mu sighed.

Originally, if his avatar had another ten or twenty years, it could break through to the Golden Core stage naturally and become a true disciple of Tianhe Sect. By then, the martial method scrolls of Tianhe Sect would be at his disposal to choose from.

Speaking of the destruction of Tianhe Sect, it was directly related to him.

The one who destroyed Tianhe Sect was none other than the Old Ancestor of Tongyou who stole the puppet’s remains, the one who is now known as the orchestrator of the demonic disaster across half of the continent.

The specific process of destruction was not very clear to the avatar, he only knew a rough idea.

The Old Ancestor of Tongyou somehow managed to persuade the neighboring Plum Blossom Sect and Ling Snake Valley, who cooperated to break the Mountain Protection Array of Tianhe Sect together.

From this point, it could be seen that the Old Ancestor of Tongyou still possessed his sanity, and became even more cunning and insidious.

After breaking through the mountain gate, the Old Ancestor of Tongyou alone killed the only Nascent Soul Elder of Tianhe Sect.

The formidable Old Ancestor of Tianhe had attained Nirvana several years ago, but Tianhe Sect, in order to maintain its deterrent power over the surrounding sects, did not release the news for a long time.

A large number of Tianhe Sect cultivators died in that battle.

Even Tianhe City was destroyed along with it.

According to the people who escaped, the scene was like hell, with corpses scattered everywhere, blood flowing into rivers, and the strong stench of blood that could be smelled even tens of miles away.

As for Xu Mu’s avatar, due to his extraordinary talent, together with a group of elite disciples, he was secretly sent out of the mountain gate, which saved him from the disaster.

At this moment, the avatar was hurrying to the Central Domain under the protection of the remaining Golden Core elders of Tianhe Sect.

On the way, they heard that the two sects that helped the Old Ancestor of Tongyou break Tianhe Sect, did not get any reward. After killing the Nascent Soul elder of Tianhe Sect, the Old Ancestor of Tongyou immediately attacked them. He used several terrifying puppets that suddenly appeared and killed the Nascent Soul Elders of the two sects.

Without the Nascent Soul Elders, the two sects didn’t struggle for long and were destroyed one after another.

It was because of the fighting between these three forces that the remaining disciples of Tianhe Sect were able to escape successfully.

It might be possible that the Old Ancestor of Tongyou didn’t consider these remaining disciples important.

At this moment, nearly one third of the Southern Domain was occupied by Tongyou Sect.

The current power of Tongyou Sect can be said to be the first in the Southern Wilderness, with only a few holy lands in the Central Domain that could be compared to it.

“Now, the loose demonic Dao cultivators hiding in various parts of the continent all rushing to the Southern Wilderness, wanting to join Tongyou Sect, using the power of Tongyou Sect to enhance their own strength!

If the Old Ancestor of Tongyou could completely subdue these people, his power would definitely expand further. By then, the entire Southern Wilderness might be occupied by him!

If this continues, it may indeed lead to a huge disaster!”

Because of their cruel methods, the demonic Dao cultivators were suppressed everywhere on the continent. The current Tongyou Sect was like heaven to them. As soon as they heard of the demonic disaster breaking out, these loose demonic Dao cultivators rushed over like flies smelling shit.

It was unimaginable what the world would be like if the demonic Dao became dominant on the continent.

“I hope the holy lands can take action soon!” Xu Mu prayed silently in his heart.

No one knew better than him the potential of that puppet’s remains.

That was a puppet from the Immortal World. As long as the Old Ancestor of Tongyou could repair ten percent of it, it was estimated that it could sweep the entire continent.

Speaking of the puppet, Xu Mu thought of that woman, and his heart instantly flared up with anger.

Just you wait! I’ll get you sooner or later!

Just then, they reached the Law Transmission Pavilion, which had more than thirty floors!
