Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 386: Chapter 355: Deception_1

“I didn’t think there were these twists inside!”

Through bits and pieces of conversations from the tavern guests, Xu Mu quickly clarified the line of thought, and felt a little sorry for Mo Wuxin.

Nothing good in the world is ever simple, and even if you have a way to make money, you must also have the ability to guard the method of making it.

Mo Wuxin’s cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage. He was powerful enough, but maintaining such a large force without any flaws certainly requires hard work.

Otherwise, if the news leaks, a good situation can turn into a disaster.

But, everything has its price, this is an unavoidable fact.

Without the resource supply from the Sea Race, the strength of the Palace of Pure Heart would not have risen.

As far as he knew, in addition to the three known Golden Pill cultivators, there were several others who were about to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. The overall strength is many times stronger than when Mo Wuxin took over a hundred years ago.

But the time is not yet right for them to expose their strength, otherwise the other forces of the Four Seas Immortal Palace will not let them go.

“If my strength can be exposed, it could avoid these troubles and even fight for greater benefits. But now it can’t, so we can only continue to be patient!”

Luckily, with him presiding, Mo Wuxin can be more at ease even if he can’t expose his power.

In a hundred years at most, Mo Wuxin will be able to advance into the stage of Nascent Soul, and then he can rest easy.

“If I had known this, I would not have let Feng Luan show her cultivation!”

Having three Golden Pills in one sect will undoubtedly draw more attention, and the risk will also increase considerably.

But the news had already been released, and cannot be taken back.

At this moment, the guests on the side started to talk again.

“They say that this time it wasn’t just an old Golden Pill ancestor who emerged, even Master Mo of the Palace of Pure Heart has also broken through to the later stage of the Golden Core!” The plump woman said with a smile.

“What!!!”

Compared to the Palace of Pure Heart having one more Golden Pill, the fact that Mo Wuxin had reached the late Golden Core stage was even more shocking to them.

“As far as I know, Master Mo is not even three hundred years old yet! At such a young age, he has reached the late stage of the Golden Pill, and if everything goes well in the future, he is sure to advance to Nascent Soul! Will we have another Nascent Soul deity in the Four Seas Immortal Palace within a hundred years?!”

The Golden Core stage was already an unattainable existence for them, and the Nascent Soul stage was even more of a myth, a living legend to them.

Every Nascent Soul deity was a well-known figure, their growth trajectory was enough to write a legendary novel, and they would be worshipped by cultivators.

Mo Wuxin breaking through to the late stage of Golden Pill before the age of three hundred had a much greater significance than Palace of Pure Heart having ten more Golden Pills.

“Was the news released deliberately?” Xu Mu wondered.

Feng Luan’s promotion to Golden Pill was already noticeable enough, and now Mo Wuxin was exposing his cultivation, wasn’t he asking for trouble?

But, he quickly understood Mo Wuxin’s intention. He must be trying to draw attention away from Feng Luan to keep her safe.

“He really worries a lot!” Xu Mu said with a wry smile.

Mo Wuxin had always been very good to Feng Luan, treating her like a real sister, so it was understandable that he would do such a thing.

After listening for a while and finding no useful information, Xu Mu got up to pay the bill and walked out of the tavern.

The sun was beginning to set, but the streets were still bustling. Xu Mu blended into the crowd and headed south, where Xu Tiantian was seeing patients.

“Master Luo has posed another problem! Let’s go have a look!”

As the crowd moved, suddenly someone shouted. Everyone immediately converged on a particular street in a flurry.

“Master Luo?”

Xu Mu was curious and followed the crowd.

There was a three-layer deep circle of people around the wall ahead. On the wall hung a talisman, and next to it stood two young cultivators in robes.

“My master said, whoever can reproduce this talisman, he will take him as a personal disciple. If you don’t want to be his disciple, you can get a Medium-grade Spirit Stone as a reward!”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started taking out their papers and brushes, and began to copy the details down.

“What talisman? It’s clearly a broken Tao Pattern!”

Xu Mu laughed and shook his head.

This so-called Master Luo was clearly fishing for fools.

When a Tao Pattern is inscribed, it naturally regulates nature’s spiritual energy. Regular materials won’t be able to hold such power, you can only create this pattern using precious jade stones and beast blood.

The value of these materials alone is worth more than a Medium-grade Spirit Stone. Only someone out of their mind would participate in this kind of thing.

“Yet this person being able to find a Tao Pattern is an interesting person!”

A Tao Pattern, in essence, is a foundational Law formed by nature, and is the origin of talismans and formations.

During the ancient times, there were many Tao Patterns. However, most of them are useless. They just seemed magical due to their appearance.

Such stuff is only good for deceiving ordinary people, real Array Masters and Talisman Masters don’t pay attention to these things.

Xu Mu was an Array Master himself, and he could see through this at a glance.

However, after hundreds of millions of years, there are few Tao patterns left in this world. The fact that this individual found a part of it speaks volumes about their luck.

Initially, Xu Mu didn’t want to interfere, but seeing people starting to sell talisman papers, he immediately realized that they were out to scam people.

They were selling stuff under the pretense of an examination.

At this time, everyone was disappointed. The talismans they drew would either spontaneously combust or were crooked and deformed, not looking like talismans at all.

In the blink of an eye, half of their supplies were gone, and so they began to buy from people around them.

Blank talisman paper was cheap to begin with, and it was cheaper in Suxin City since it was produced here. Many people didn’t care about the cost and began buying in large bundles.

Though one person’s purchase isn’t much, when a group of people buys them, the quantity adds up. Moreover, more and more people kept joining in. In no time, those selling talisman papers made hundreds of Lower-grade Spirit Stones.

The two young cultivators guarding the Tao Pattern were clearly smiling; it was obvious that they were in on this.

It’s very likely that the so-called Master Luo was a persona created by them to make the ordinary cultivators let their guards down and think that they genuinely wanted to take in disciples.

Seeing them duping people, Xu Mu felt a little agitated.

“Today I’m going to make you suffer a bit and teach you to be a better person in the future,”

A small smile appeared on Xu Mu’s face. With a flick of his fingers, he emitted several strands of Spiritual Power and set up a formation that interfered with Spiritual energy.

As the Spiritual energy was disturbed, people who had been struggling to complete their drawings suddenly managed to do so.

“I’ve succeeded! I’ve succeeded! I need a Spirit Stone! I need a Spirit Stone!”

An old cultivator excitedly raised the talisman paper in his hand, his face flushing with excitement.

A talisman paper wasn’t even worth half a Lower-grade Spirit Stone, but now it could be exchanged for a Medium-grade Spirit Stone, making the profit hundreds of times more, so how could he not be excited?

Even an elite Qi Cultivation Late Stage cultivator couldn’t casually produce a Medium-grade Spirit Stone, their entire wealth may only be two or three Medium-grade Spirit Stones.

Such an opportunity to gain much from little would be tempting in any era.

The two young cultivators assigned to guard the Tao Pattern sample saw the older cultivator waving his talisman paper high in the air, and they were clearly taken aback.

Weren’t their accomplices supposed to step in at the end? How did someone get it right already?

While they were still wondering how to handle the situation, another person raised their arm.

“I’ve also done it! I’ve also done it!”

“And me! And me!”

Suddenly, everyone in the audience was holding up their completed talismans, making a huge commotion.

Upon seeing this scene, the two young cultivators instantly realized something was wrong. They started to break out in cold sweat, their faces turning pale.
