Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

The purple-robed woman’s spiritual power surged, her face full of rage, as if Xu Mu had offended her.

Xu Mu really didn’t know what to say.

Originally, if these few people continued to entangle, he was prepared to casually eliminate them.

Now with all this fuss, it’s really not easy to make a move.

In that case, then

Buzz!

A strong spiritual pressure was released from his body.

“Foundation, Foundation Establishment…”

The few people who had been cocky, suddenly turned pale.

“Move, move…”

“Get lost!”

Xu Mu snarled.

Yes yes yes!

The five people, like dogs with their tails between their legs, shrank to one side trembling, without a trace of the initial momentum.

Xu Mu couldn’t be bothered with them, he stepped on his flying sword, turned into a streak of light, and left instantly.

It was only when Xu Mu’s figure disappeared from sight that the five people felt relieved.

“When did our Whale Sea Gang territory gain another cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

“Maybe he was just passing by! Let’s ask Master later!”

“Hopefully that’s the case! Otherwise if we meet again, it’s going to be awkward!”

The few people returned to the marketplace disheartened. After asking Xu Yiren, their faces grew even uglier.

They never expected that not only did the other party intend to stay here permanently, but he also joined their faction and became an elder.

How could they continue to mix in the faction after offending a Foundation Establishment elder?

Although they called Xu Yiren Master, it was only nominal, they didn’t have a deep relationship.

They also didn’t dare to tell Xu Yiren about offending Xu Mu.

If Xu Yiren found out, they estimated that she would punish them even before Xu Mu did.

While the people were tangled between staying in the Whale Sea Gang or finding another place, Xu Mu had already returned to the cave he had opened on Misty Morning Island.

With the squeeze of his hand, he activated the camouflage array, a cave immediately appeared in front of him, into which Xu Mu stepped.

Spending nearly half a day setting up the formation with the materials he had, Xu Mu set up a tunable Gathering Spirit Array similar to the one Lan Shijin had set up in White River City.

With his current cultivation, this low-level array was something he could master by just studying a bit, without needing to consume any Luck Value.

Unlike normal cultivators, his cultivation primarily depended on pills.

Even a tier-three Mysterious Yuan Pill is much more efficient than a high tier Gathering Spirit Array.

For him, the Gathering Spirit Array was just a supplementary cultivation tool, whether it was high tier or low tier, it was good enough.

“Thank goodness the Outer Sea does not have geomancy masters, otherwise even setting up a Gathering Spirit Array would be useless!”

Geomancy masters could use special methods to adjust the earth’s veins, accumulating spiritual power from hundreds or even thousands of miles around to create a cultivation site rich in spiritual energy, like Pursuing Wind City, and Illusional Sea City.

In the Cang Ming Ocean Territory, because of the existence of geomancy masters, most cultivators could only operate in cultivation sites, and it was difficult for new cultivators to be born elsewhere.

But the Outer Sea did not have geomancy masters, or rather, no one dared to use this method, so anyone in the Outer Sea could become a cultivator, which was probably one of the reasons for its chaos.

After setting up the formation, Xu Mu didn’t immediately take out the herbs to refine pills, but first took out various books he’d bought and looked through the local chronicles about the Outer Sea.

“Geography of the Outer Sea!”

“Top Ten Dangers of the Outer Sea!”

“Top Ten Loose Cultivators of the Outer Sea!”

“Ten Major Forces of the Outer Sea!”

“Comprehensive Guide to Outer Sea Secret Areas!”

“Locations of the Sea Race in the Ocean-”

“The Most Dangerous Species of the Sea Race!”

After spending four or five days reading all the chronicles.

Xu Mu then picked up those dozen or so so-called super secret books, intending to see if he could cultivate them.

Half a month later, the system panel only added one skill.

[Qimen: Beginner of Twelve Startle Cicada Skill; 1/100]!

“Qimen secret skills? Only a hundred proficiency needed for the beginner level?”

Xu Mu was holding his chin, looking at the other Qimen skill [Yin and Yang Harmony 108 Style].

To this day, Xu Mu was unclear if this Qimen secret skill belonged to martial arts, body refinement, or divine abilities.

The only thing he knew was that it was extremely challenging to practice and the progress was incredibly slow.

Talking about the “Yin and Yang Harmony Art of 108 Movements”, if it were not for the enhancement from the Luck Value, he might still be stuck at the beginner level.

This “Twelve Startle Cicada Skill” was even more exaggerated. Since it appeared in his skill list, Xu Mu has been studying it for a long time without gaining any proficiency.

Keep in mind that his current aptitude for practice was countless times stronger than when he first acquired the “Yin and Yang Harmony Art of 108 Movements”.

This indicated that the “Twelve Startle Cicada Skill” was even more exaggerated than the “Yin and Yang Harmony Art of 108 Movements”.

The power of the “Yin and Yang Harmony Art of 108 Movements” was undeniable.

If it weren’t for this martial method, his grave might have been overgrown with grass.

Not mentioning Mu Yunwan, merely the mysterious woman he met in the Cloud Peak Mountain Range could have easily killed him.

“The harder it is to practice, the greater its power!”

Xu Mu didn’t mind this. After all, for him, whether it was difficult to practice or not, it was all a matter of adding points.

If it’s not difficult to practice, add fewer points. If it’s hard to practice, add more points.

“But what exactly does this martial method do?”

Yes, Xu Mu had practiced for a long time, memorized the entire secret manual, but still hadn’t figured out the purpose of this secret manual.

He had also read the cultivation experiences of those high-tier cultivators, all of which were foggy – some said it was a hiding secret skill, some said it was a fighting secret skill, others said it was a bloodline secret skill, or even a demonic skill.

In short, opinions were diverse, but no one could be one hundred percent certain which one it was because no one had successfully practiced it.

As for the content of the secret manual, it was mystifying. It was like playing charades; one moment you feel it means this, and another moment you feel it means that.

Let alone practice, just studying the content of the secret manual could drive people mad.

Some said it was too old, and only the cultivators of that time could understand it. Others said that the secret manual was nonsense, perhaps just written casually by ancient cultivators, and no one in the world could really practice it.

Fortunately, Xu Mu didn’t have to worry about all this.

“Add points!”

Xu Mu took out various pills in advance to avoid accidents.

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill+1!”

There isn’t much change, just a slight warmth in my body as if something was added.

Xu Mu didn’t hesitate and continued to add points.

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill+1!”

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill+1!”

In order to avoid accidents, he only dared to add a little at a time.

Until-

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill proficiency; 0/1000!”

A sense of hunger erupted in his body, Xu Mu hurriedly swallowed a Grass Renewal Pill.

Fortunately, the hunger was not intense. One bottle of Grass Renewal Pill resolved most of it.

His body, along with the dispersing pill, went through some changes that Xu Mu completely couldn’t understand.

At this moment, the previously baffling martial method content in his mind seemed to have lifted its veil, revealing a bit of its true form.

“Bloodline fusion?”

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be an incredibly rare bloodline secret art. Its purpose was to burst out various powers using the strong bloodline.

Depending on the bloodline fused, it could not only be used for combat but also for hiding and changing aura, among other uses.

“It’s not detailed enough! I need to continue to improve it!”

Seeing the proficiency increase tenfold at once, Xu Mu felt a bit of a headache, even if he had anticipated it.

According to this increase ratio, trying to cultivate to the transcendent level, the amount of consumed Luck Value was simply unimaginable.

“I hope your power won’t disappoint me!”

Muttering to himself, Xu Mu continued to add points.

During his time of fleeing, he has accumulated a lot of Luck Value, which was enough to raise the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill to the level of perfection.

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill+10!”

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill+10!”

Having a rough idea of the function of the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill, Xu Mu felt no inhibitions when increasing its proficiency.

However, this time the upgrade consumed significantly more energy. The few Grass Renewal Pills and Condensing Yuan Pills he carried were quickly depleted. Fortunately, he still had a few seventh-tier Blood Sun Pills.

The medicinal effect of the Blood Sun Pills was quite strong. Just one pill replenished enough energy for the subsequent consumption, and the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill smoothly advanced to the Proficiency stage.

The previously somewhat confusing content of the martial method in his mind finally became completely clear.

“Absorb the essence of numerous beasts, morph in myriad ways, profoundly infinite!”
