Translator: 549690339
Cang Ming Ocean Territory
Five hundred miles south of Zhuoming City, at the heart of a vast island, a waterfall cascades down from atop a towering peak, resembling the Milky Way falling from the heavens.
Atop the misty peak, where pavilions with painted beams rise and fall, lays a fairy-like mansion.
This is where Elder Nangong Suyi, an inner disciple Elder of the Four Seas Immortal Palace, resides –
The Palace of Pure Heart!
After delivering his greetings, Xu Mu waited five days on the island before being granted permission to visit the Palace of Pure Heart.
“Such a grand face the Golden Core Stage carries!”
While surveying the environment at the peak, Xu Mu muttered in his mind.
Following a blue-robed woman who had come to receive him, they walked for a long while before stopping in front of a five-story pavilion.
“You can go in! The ancestor is inside waiting for you!”
The blue-robed woman gestured with a vacant hand and expressionless face, standing in place watching him.
“Thankyou, Senior Sister!”
Xu Mu replied with a bow, smiling.
Looking at Xu Mu impassively, the blue-robed woman didn’t respond.
Xu Mu grinned awkwardly, stepped up the blue stone stairs, and walked to the entrance of the pavilion.
“Disciple Xu Mu, here to pay respect to Elder Nangong!” Xu Mu reverently said. “Come in!”
An old and frail voice conveyed from inside the pavilion.
“Yes!”
The door creaked open on its own.
Xu Mu’s gaze flickered briefly before stepping inside.
Within the spacious hall beyond the threshold, an old hag, her face full of wrinkles and supporting herself with an ebony cane, sat on the primary chair at the upper end, watching him.
To the old hag’s left was a raven-haired woman in white, her appearance mesmerizingly beautiful, so striking it takes your breath away upon sight.
Compared to Junior Sister Bai of the Golden Core Stage at Butian Pavilion, she wasn’t inferior in the slightest.
The woman before him held the power of top-tier seduction in her natural beauty alone.
How could such a beautiful woman exist in the world?
Xu Mu was astonished.
Not daring to look too much, he walked to the center of the great hall, his head slightly bowed.
“The pill?”
The old hag cut to the chase, directly asking him.
Xu Mu brought out the best Stay Age Pill. The woman in white took a few steps towards him, reached for the pill bottle, turned around, and handed it to the old hag.
The old hag opened the pill bottle, tipped it to drop a Pill, pinched it in her skeletal fingers, and took a good look at it.
“Are you sure this is a top-grade Stay Age Pill?” the old hag said coldly.
“I wouldn’t dare deceive you!” Xu Mu hastily replied.
The old hag hesitated, then suddenly released her hold on the ebony cane and formed a spell with one hand before pointing at her forehead.
Gurgle, gurgle!
Starting from her fingertip, blood vessels as thick as silkworms began to spread throughout her entire body.
In an instant, her withered skin swelled up quickly, becoming smooth and flushed.
The old hag, who had aged terribly, had become a silver-haired beauty in the blink of an eye.
The beautiful woman in white noticed the complex expression in Xu Mu’s moon-like eyes and couldn’t help stealing a glance at him.
The transformation was quite costly. If the pill wasn’t effective, this man would undoubtedly be in for a harsh lesson.
After the transformation, the old hag immediately swallowed the Stay Age Pill, closed her eyes, and felt the changes of the pill’s power.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, revealing a glimmer of joy.
Considering the speed at which her wrinkles had reduced, it was undoubtedly a top-grade Stay Age Pill.
Upon seeing a look of joy on Nangong Suyi’s face, the woman in white heaved a sigh of relief, a smile spreading on her face.
In a split second, the whole world seemed to brighten!
Catching sight of it unintentionally, Xu Mu’s heart pounded uncontrollably.
What kind of demoness is this!!?
With shock in his heart, Xu Mu quickly turned around.
This woman is a monster – her beauty is beyond normal comprehension.
The only thing not perfect about her was the flatness of her chest.
Noticing Xu Mu’s odd behavior, Nangong Suyi tilted her head slightly. It was then she noticed the woman’s smile, quietly clearing her throat to remind the woman in white.
Regaining her senses, the woman in white quickly wiped the smile off her face.
“Speak! What do you want?”
“Junior wishes to take you as my master!”
Both Nangong Suyi and the woman in white were left startled, evidently not expecting Xu Mu to make such a request.
Nangong Suyi’s eyes flickered, and after some thought, she said, “I can agree to your request, but in return, you will need to provide me with this kind of pill regularly! Of course, I wouldn’t take advantage of you just because you’re younger!”
This was a transaction after all. Given her status, Nangong Suyi could certainly buy a top-grade Stay Age Pill, but the key was that there was no steady supply. “Disciple understands! Disciple pays my respects to Master!”
Although he had predicted that she wouldn’t refuse, Xu Mu couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and hastily stepped forward to acknowledge her as his Master.
Nangong Suyi, on the other hand, caused no fuss in accepting.
After Xu Mu finished the ceremony, Nangong Suyi flicked her sleeve, and a jade talisman flew out, landing in front of Xu Mu.
“This tier seven amulet will serve as your master’s welcome gift!”
“Thank you, Master!”
Xu Mu, unexpecting such a windfall, couldn’t help but beam with joy.
Though Xu Mu could afford a Tier Seven amulet, it wasn’t easy to find one for sale.
Indeed, a thin camel is still bigger than a horse.
Perhaps choosing Nangong Suyi as a master would prove to be a good decision.
“Wuxin, take him to get his token, and pass on the message to the Fairy Palace!”
“Yes, Master!”
The woman in white bowed slightly and strode towards Xu Mu.
Xu Mu suddenly felt a burst of unique fragrance, he couldn’t help but take a small sniff.
“Come with me!”
The voice of the woman in white was cold, with a hint of masculine depth.
“Then I’ll trouble Senior Sister Wu Xin!”
Xu Mu gave a fist and palm salute, ready to follow her outside.
Nangong Suyi, who sat in the chair, couldn’t help but twitch her brow when she heard Xu Mu’s address to the woman in white.
Just as the woman in white was about to leave, she abruptly halted her steps, turned around, and looked at him with a frosty expression.
“Senior Sister, is there something wrong?”
Xu Mu was momentarily confused, he touched his face, wondering if it was dirty.
“I’m a man!”
Mo Wuxin gritted his teeth, and a terrifying spiritual pressure, like the overturning of a sea, emanated from his body. Xu Mu couldn’t help but step back half a step.
“If you dare to call out randomly again, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
With that, Mo Wuxin walked away with a cold face.
“Yes! Yes!”
Xu Mu readily agreed, but inwardly, he was wiping cold sweat.
This woman — no, this young man — is so strong!
At this time, Xu Mu was not only shocked by the other party’s gender, but was also shocked by their strength.
Mo Wuxin was just at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but the pressure he gave felt like that of the Golden Core Stage.
He’s definitely an oddity, and not just in appearance!
Wait, I seems to have just inhaled…
Ugh!!
Fighting back the nausea in his heart, Xu Mu hurriedly followed.
Watching the two’s departing figures, a hint of unusual color flashed in Nangong Suyi’s eyes.
Mo Wuxin was not only her disciple, but also her blood relative. No one knew him better than she did.
Mo Wuxin was extremely talented. Whether it was martial methods or skills, he would master them as soon as he learned them and refine them as soon as he practiced. However, due to the Long Yin physique, he had not been able to advance to the Golden Core Stage.
Although his cultivation level could not be improved, his strength enhancement did not slow down at all. His main martial method, the “Heaven’s Infinite Jue,” had already reached the Grandmaster level, and his main Divine Skill, “Heavenly Water,” was even close to the transcendental ninth tier.
His real strength was even stronger than average Golden Core cultivators.
Were it not for his physical limitations, Mo Wuxin would definitely have been one of the most dazzling geniuses in the Four Seas Immortal Palace.
The guy in front of him had just advanced to the fourth stage of Foundation Establishment and seemed ordinary, yet he could resist the spiritual pressure of Wuxin.
It must be said, he is quite interesting!
Capable of refining top-grade Stay Age Pills, with such a solid foundation, if it weren’t for her impending doom, Nangong Suyi could take him in and cultivate him with all her heart.
As for now —
Forget it!
She didn’t have the mood or the energy to start cultivating a disciple from scratch again.
Moreover, he already had a foundation, and his path was different from hers, so it would be difficult to cultivate him properly.
“After I have achieved Nirvana, let Wuxin expel him! This person, whose background is unclear and has ulterior motives, will only be a threat if he stays in the Palace of Pure Heart!”
“From now on, this will be your residence! The Palace of Pure Heart has many female disciples, don’t wander around. If something happens, Master can t save you!”
At a small courtyard on the edge of a mountain, Mo Wuxin handed over the token controlling the formation to Xu Mu.
“Thank you for your reminder, brother!” Xu Mu politely responded.
Mo Wuxin didn’t respond to him and turned to leave.
Watching Mo Wuxin’s departing figure, Xu Mu couldn’t help shaking his head. It seems that not only is Nangong Suyi a loner, but her disciples are not much better.
“Fortunately, I don’t plan to live here, so I don’t have to face a bunch of deadpan faces every day!”
Xu Mu controlled the token, opened the formation, and walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was not big, with a total area of three to four hundred square meters, and it was simply furnished with one courtyard and four rooms.
The courtyard was full of weeds and an unknown purple flower due to a lack of maintenance. There was also a wild ginkgo tree. There was a stone table and two stone stools under the tree, the table covered with rotten ginkgo leaves.
The four stone houses, interconnected, were filled with tables and chairs covered in dust.
Obviously, this place hadn’t been inhabited for a long time.
However, the spiritual energy was rich, even higher by three points than that of Pursuing Wind City. If it were rented out, it would be worth at least five medium-grade Spirit Stones per month.
If it wasn’t to conceal his identity, it would be good to let Ye Yingying and the others move here. It’s not only rent-free, but also much safer than the city.
After strolling around the courtyard, Xu Mu returned to the room, used a Purification Charm to simply clean a place, put a meditation mat on it, and sat down.
He then took out three things from his storage bag.
A blue jade talisman!
A bottle of Cultivation Pills!
A green tier-three robe!
These were the items distributed after becoming a disciple of Su Xin Palace.
The blue jade talisman was a badge representing his identity, the Cultivation Pills were benefits for direct disciples, one bottle per year, and the robe was the uniform of the Su Xin Palace disciples, each newcomer got one, although the grades differed.
Except for the identity jade talisman, Xu Mu didn’t find the other two items appealing and put them away after briefly playing with them.
After meditating for a night, he intended to visit his neighbours the next day. However, after being rejected twice, he gave up, piloted the Flying Boat, and left Su Xin Palace.
He was only here to raise his privileges, not to live permanently. Now that the matters were settled, there was no need to stay.
He flies to Zhuoming City, waits a day to catch a giant Flying Boat to return to Pursuing Wind City.
Ever since he ran into that woman from the Butian Pavilion and almost got caught to be used as a furnace, and whenever he needed to go somewhere slightly far away, Xu Mu would always choose to ride on the Giant Flying Boat. Not only did the giant Flying Boat have experts onboard, but its affiliated power, the Cluster Stars Sect, was the strongest in the entire Cangming Sea Territory. Unless there were extremely courageous robbers, nobody dared to act rashly.
Upon safely returning to Pursuing Wind City, Xu Mu immediately went to the Four Seas Immortal Palace branch to buy the herbs to refine the Stay Age Pills.
“With four stars, you can only buy thirty sets a year.”
“Thirty sets? That’s it?”
