Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

“Two hundred years old!”

This increase in lifespan, Xu Mu himself hadn’t expected.

He had originally thought that he could increase his lifespan by twenty years, reaching one hundred and eighty years, which had already seemed quite incredible.

The typical cultivator in the late stage of Qi Cultivation would live up to a hundred and fifty years at most. He hadn’t even broken through the late stage of Qi Cultivation yet, but could still have a lifespan of 180 years, which was quite satisfying.

Unexpectedly, the Thunderbolt Sword Skill gave him a pleasant surprise.

“This breakthrough is truly a full transformation!”

With the breakthrough of the Thunderbolt Sword Skill, he was pleasantly surprised again and again.

His cultivation, which was stuck at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, broke through to the seventh level without any hindrance.

This had obstructed countless Loose Cultivators.

Even Lan Shijin was still faltering!

At this point, he had become the highest-ranked cultivator among them.

The only regret was that this time, his lifespan did not increase again.

Two hundred years seemed to be a limit, and to continue increasing, he probably needed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The transformation of his physique has accelerated his cultivation speed, and the Foundation Establishment Stage seems within grasp!

Xu Mu opened the system and checked all his enhancements over this period:

After a few days of getting used to his power up, Xu Mu discovered something with mixed feelings.

After opening all the acupoints in his body, in addition to being able to control nature’s spiritual energy to increase his attack power, he can also make himself fly by controlling nature’s spiritual energy.

This should have been good news, but upon acquiring the ability to fly, his Light Body Skill greatly weakened.

For this situation, Xu Mu could only grin and bear it.

He considered that he might need to cultivate a new escape technique!

The increase in strength, in addition to giving Xu Mu more confidence, did not bring about much change in his life.

The only change was that after his purse had greatly shrank, he couldn’t help but return to his old business.

Begin alchemy!

In order to understand the market situation, he actively made friends with some local alchemists and joined the Pill Master Guild of Liyang City under their introduction.

Unlike the small place of Baihe Marketplace, in Liyang City there are strict rules for alchemists.

Private sales of pills are not allowed, they can only be sold to the guild after joining the Pill Master Guild.

The Pill Master Guild purchases them at a fixed price.

The slogan stated on the surface is to maintain the balance of pill prices in the market.

In actuality, it’s obviously for profit!

An eligible alchemist, if not trying to make new medicines, will definitely have the highest profit in the industry.

The Pill Master Guild can easily gain a large fortune by simply reselling, without any effort.

Despite knowing that the Pill Master Guild was shearing sheep, the alchemists of Liyang City had no choice but to comply.

No way, as the backing mountain behind them was the Liyang Sect.

Offending the Liyang Sect in Liyang City, that would be as good as suicide.

Liyang City

Qingfrost Wine Shop

The flowers are broken at the branches, the Osmanthus fragrance floats!

Sitting on the second floor overlooking the osmanthus tree outside the window, Xu Mu took a sip of tea and bitterly smiled, “Although the Pill Master Guild claims to be for our good, the price it’s pressing is too hard. It’s a full seventy percent lower than the market I used to live in!”

Sitting across from him was a middle-aged cultivator in the eighth stage of Qi Cultivation, dressed in a stone brown robe with a hawk nose and prominent forehead wrinkles.

His named was Fan He, an alchemist who had been living in Liyang City for over a decade.

Hearing Xu Mu’s complaint, Fan He laughed, “A small market can only have a few alchemists, how can it compare with Liyang City! As far as I know, there are at least eight hundred Alchemists in Liyang City who are Loose Cultivators, let alone those from large families and within Sects. If left unchecked, the market would soon be in chaos! Makings its prices possibly even lower than now!”

The silver haired old cultivator sitting on Xu Mu’s left side, wearing a grey robe, smiled and said, “What Friend Fan said is right, the purchase price is indeed much lower than the market’s, but after all, it’s for our own good!”

The silver-haired elder took a sip of tea, topped off his cup halfway, and continued, “Friend Xu may think the prices at the market are high, but that’s only because you haven’t started refining tier three pills yet. When you consider the prices of those, the Foundation Establishment families in the marketplace can’t possibly ignore it! You either join them, or you have to leave! Otherwise, why would an old man like me have come to Liyang City?”

The silver-haired elder’s name was Shen Bokang, like Xu Mu, he was a Pill Master who recently arrived in Liyang City, just half a year ahead of Xu Mu.

“So that’s how it is! It seems I’m really out of the loop! Thank you both for enlightening me!”

Xu Mu said with a smile and a bow.

“Don’t mention it! Don’t mention it! These are all common sense. Once you spend more time here, you’ll naturally come to know!”

Fan He laughed heartily, appearing very friendly.

Xu Mu looked young and showed huge future potential, so he had intentions of forging a close relationship.

The three of them sat there chatting casually, until dusk fell and the lanterns were lit, only then did they all get up to leave.

“Friend Xu, feel free to visit my home when you’re free!”

“Certainly, certainly!”

“Friend Xu, you’re new here. Do you want me to show you some fun places?”

Once Shen Bokang had left, Fan He leaned in towards Xu Mu and asked with a smug grin.

Naturally, Xu Mu understood what the “happy places” Fan He had mentioned were. His heart warmed slightly, but he thought of the women at home and declined.

“I have something to attend to at home, let’s go some other time!”

“Haha! Alright then!”

Fan He laughed off his refusal.

“Friend Fan, I hope you’ll take my request seriously!”

“Friend Xu, rest assured! It’s a small matter!”

Fan He gave a courteous salute, and then turned to walk in the direction of South City.

South City was a well-known pleasure district within Liyang City.

Pill Masters were known to be affluent individuals. A tier-three Pill Master like

Fan He was no exception, he was a regular patron there and always had a strong scent of rouge on him.

Shaking his head in regret, Xu Mu turned and leisurely made his way home. Along the way, he stopped at a drugstore to buy dozens of sets of herbs for refining Jade Marrow Pills.

He had no Luck Value now and no recipe for a tier-three pill, so he could only refine Jade Marrow Pills for the time being.

Unlike White Stone City, Liyang City was bustling and brightly lit, like a city that never sleeps, even under the full moon.

When he got closer to Green Locust Alley, the lights gradually lessened, and the environment seemed much quieter.

A patrol of cultivators came along. Xu Mu greeted one of them, a cultivator with sharp brows and eyes and a friendly smile, “Hello, Friend Yu!”

“Hmm!

The cultivator with the last name Yu nodded and said, “It’s best not to wander around at night to avoid accidents!”

“Thanks for reminding me, Friend Yu, I’m going home now!” Xu Mu responded politely.

As Yu Heng said nothing more, he briskly walked away with his team.

Yu Heng was an inner sect disciple of Liyang City and one of the three captains of the local patrol team, with a Qi Cultivation Level of seven.

Because they often bumped into each other, Xu Mu had greeted him several times, so they recognized each other’s faces.

Sect disciples often held themselves in high esteem, so someone like Yu Heng was considered quite friendly for a sect disciple.

When he got back home, Xu Mu originally wanted to go into Leng Yue Ning’s room. He didn’t want to wake Ye Ying Ying but was stopped by Lan Shi Jin.

“Why have you come back so late?”

Lan Shi Jin frowned with a cold expression on her face, sensing a different scent on Xu Mu.

“Just chatting with a few friends,” Xu Mu replied with a smile. “Friend Lan, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Just chatting?”

There was clear mistrust in Lan Shi Jin’s eyes.

“Well, what else could it be?” Xu Mu responded with a bitter smile.

What else could a few men do apart from chatting?

“You’ve been going out quite frequently these past days. You haven’t been going to any brothels, have you? If I find out you’ve been to a place like that, I’ll never forgive you!” Lan Shi Jin said with a stern expression.

If it were someone else, she wouldn’t care, but for Xu Mu, she had to intervene for Leng Yue Ning’s sake.

Xu Mu was left speechless.

I’d like to go if I could, but I need the money!

“Friend Lan, you shouldn’t overthink. Rest early!” said Xu Mu, shaking his head in resignation, then preparing to enter Leng Yue Ning’s room.

“No! Little Ling’er is in there tonight!” Lan Shi Jin cut him off, clenching her teeth.

“Oh? Alright!”

Xu Mu replied, dumbfounded, and began heading towards the staircase.

“Not Ying Ying’s room either! She’s already asleep!”

Xu Mu was dumbfounded.

Where am I supposed to go then?

Should I go squeeze in with Ouyang Ying or Little White Wolf?

Lan Shi Jin huffed, turned around with a red face and walked into her room.

But,

It seemed she had forgotten to close the door!
