Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 268: Chapter 237: Mid Period of Golden Pill 1

“Five Elements Escape Skill! Quite interesting!”

After sensing the disappearance of the person who was tailing him, Xu Mu, who had used the Virtualization Skill, came out of the box that was hiding his presence and got dressed.

He did not even know at first that he was being followed, his pursuer’s hiding technique was very skilled.

He had cautiously hidden himself to see if someone was tracking him, soon after he detected someone nearby, who investigated for quite some time before leaving.

It was during this person’s investigation that he realized they were practicing the rare Five Elements Escape Skill, at a high level at that, otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed at all.

“There are countless experts in the world, caution is probably best!”

After all, caution is the key to survival!

Taking this into consideration, even if he was certain he could defeat the person, Xu Mu chose not to confront them.

After sealing the storage pouch that held the medicinal ingredients using a secret technique, Xu Mu turned into Escape Light and flew in the direction of Immortal Moon City.

Before long, he safely returned to Immortal Moon City.

He didn’t linger inside the city for too long, and after waiting for two days, when the time was right, he blended into a mountain-climbing group and returned safely to the Fairy Moon Palace.

Upon returning to his residence, no one was any the wiser.

In the following days, Xu Mu accumulates Luck Value and elevates both pill refining skills to the transcendent level.

Afterwards, he was continuously engaged in alchemy, refining and consuming pills to break through his training barriers.

With his previous training experience, his training progression was smooth.

Eight years passed in the blink of an eye, and with the assistance of numerous pills, Xu Mu’s cultivation level effortlessly advanced to tier four of the Golden Pill, a middle-stage Golden Pill level, surpassing his highest level in his prime. The pace of his advancement, if known by others, would likely drop jaws. However, the one with the most progression was the Body Refinement Realm. His “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill” had already ascended to the master level, on par with a regular tier five body refinement, giving him the power to kill even a late-stage Golden Pill cultivator should he unleash his Bloodline potential.

Why hasn’t he continued his progression?

Not that he doesn’t want to, but the resource consumption is too vast.

It is precisely with the assistance of the master level “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill” that he easily advanced to the middle-stage Golden Pill level.

However, by this time, his savings were practically spent.

Fairy Moon Palace.

Cast Iron peak!

This is where the inner sect elder of the Refining Pavilion resides.

“Elder Xu! Give me some time! At most three years, I guarantee I can replicate Xu Mu’s work!”

Ying Tianhong pleads desperately, like a discarded wife, but Xu Mu shows no mercy and flatly rejects him.

Elder Ying, let’s forget this! My savings have been completely exhausted by your trials, if this were to continue, I may only have to sell myself!” Throughout these years, Xu Mu invested over 200 high-quality Spirit Stones, but sadly, Ying Tianhong’s research shows scarce progress, making Xu Mu firmly choose to give up.

In reality, he has already found a new method for crafting magical artifacts through the system.

Ying Tianhong no longer had any use, and of course, he indeed ran out of Spirit Stones.

After some pushing and pulling, Ying Tianhong eventually gave up and decided to sell the pile of scrap materials produced from his research on new magical artifacts to Xu Mu at a bargain, as a token of their successful cooperation.

Xu Mu:”…”

After leaving Ying Tianhong’s cave dwelling, Xu Mu returned to his own and opened a scroll detailing a method of synthesizing materials.

Just as modern society has synthetic materials, the Cultivation Realm does too.

This particular synthetic material requires eight different elements to compose.

Among them, six can be assembled as long as one is willing to spend Spirit Stones, since they are merely tier seven materials.

There are two especially difficult components to get: one called Emptyfinity Stone, a rare material with spatial properties, also a main ingredient for making storage bags and rings. Normally, a tiny piece is enough for such items, but he needs a lot.

The other thing is Fossil Worm Molting, a shell produced by a spiritual bug called the Fire Eater during its evolution process, which possesses some magical properties.

If combined together, along with the other five components, they can be crafted into a material that can replace Kun Peng’s backbone.

As for the material that can replace Kun Peng’s feathers, he has found that too, but like the Kun Peng’s backbone substitute, it also lacks two essential components; one is also the Emptyfinity Stone, and the other is the feathers of an Ice Phoenix.

The Ice Phoenix is a legendary Monster Beast, carrying with it a fraction of the True Spirit Phoenix’s bloodline, it is very powerful and extremely rare at the same time.

However, compared to the Kun Peng, the Ice Phoenix at least exists on this continent. Though powerful, they are still within an acceptable range of difficulty, it just requires some hard work to obtain.

If these two mixed materials can be crafted, their effectiveness will be no less than that of the real Kun Peng backbone and feathers.

The times are always advancing, those who created this Martial Method in the past might not necessarily have knowledge surpassing theirs. Similarly, the Lifebound artifact he crafts might not necessarily be inferior.

Not dwelling on it, what Xu Mu needed to ponder was how to earn more Spirit Stones.

Because with Spirit Stones, he could gather the necessary materials for crafting.

“Might as well take another trip to the black market, with my current strength,

I needn’t worry about protecting myself!” Xu Mu thought to himself.

In addition to the newfound confidence from his personal power advancement, Xu Mu had also specifically studied the black market’s Formation. With his own understanding of formations, although he can’t break the black market’s Formation on the spot, escaping from it shouldn’t be a problem.

You must know, his studies on formations were as relentless as those of alchemy, plus the Fairy Moon Palace was already well-known for its formations, he was definitely reaping rewards as an early bird, receiving all kinds of convenience.

Over the years, not only did he consolidate his own formation system, he also learned a new powerful Formation called the Major Five Elements Reversal Formation, as high as tier eight. This was the strongest Formation he could access at his current status.

Once laid out, it can inverse Yin-Yang and disrupt the Five Elements, even several Golden Pill period cultivators would be trapped for hours if they fell into it.

Because of all the preparations he has made, he dares to overlook the crowd at the black market.

Once he decided, Xu Mu was just about to leave Fairy Moon Palace using the same method when Ye Bufan hurriedly came to report some news.

“Master, there is trouble in the Pill Hall!”

Ye Bufan’s face was full of anxiety, as if the sky had fallen.

“What happened? Speak slowly!”

Xu Mu spoke calmly.

“Vice President Qin says that among the pills we submitted, one hundred high- quality Foundation Building Pills are missing. He demands we submit them within three days or we will all be arrested and handed over to the Enforcement Hall!”

Sweat beaded on Ye Bufan’s forehead due to his anxiety.

Xu Mu’s brow furrowed, figuring Yun Zhan and Qin Xiao were up to their old tricks without even thinking.

Eight years have passed, they have quite the patience.

Probably they noticed him buying large quantities of medicinal herbs and rushed because they thought he would soon refine tier seven pills.

After all, once Xu Mu advances to tier seven, it would be difficult for them to have him thrown out.

“One hundred high-quality Foundation Building pills, how could you guys miss such a large number?” Xu Mu asked calmly.

“The disciple in charge of keeping count miscalculated!” Ye Bufan confessed sullenly.

“Where is that disciple now?”

“He went into closed-door training!”

Their little trick is most amusing indeed.
