Translator: 549690339

I’m really in luck!

Seven days later, Xu Mu, who had obtained a bottle of pills and three pill recipes, went aboard a green jade boat and left Tianhe City, returning to Liyang Sect.

The pill was a tier seven Blood Sun Pill, freshly made by Fairy You Lan.

Its main ingredient was the millennium Blood Sun Flower, and it could rapidly replenish the qi and blood consumed by cultivators, with additional health­enhancing effects.

This kind of pill, besides body cultivators, was probably only liked by demonic cultivators.

If it was a demonic cultivator who practiced blood-related martial methods, they would undoubtedly treasure it highly.

As for the three pill recipes, they were for tier seven Blood Sun Pills, tier seven Dustfall Pills, and tier six True Element Pills respectively.

The Blood Sun Pill recipe was basically a free gift from Fairy You Lan.

The Dustfall Pill was one of the rare spiritual medicines that could increase the chance of reaching Core Formation and could hardly be bought on the market.

The True Element Pill could help cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage break through bottlenecks, and it was also extremely precious.

Obtaining the recipe for the Dustfall Pill was, for Xu Mu, a great surprise indeed.

The role of Dustfall Pills for foundation establishment cultivators is comparable to that of Foundation Establishment Pills for Qi Cultivation stage cultivators. Although I’m still a long way from reaching core formation, I can start collecting the medicinal ingredients now!”

The difficulty in collecting the ingredients for the Dustfall Pill far exceeded that of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Even in the Cangming Ocean Territory, it probably wouldn’t be easy, not to mention that Xu Mu’s ambitions were grand. He wanted to more advanced Top Quality Dustfall Pills, which required even harder-to-find ingredients.

By the way, that Fairy You Lan is really something, being able to casually dish out the recipe for a Dustfall Pill!”

At first, Xu Mu thought she was from the Tianhe Sect, but considering the nature of the Tianhe Sect, they shouldn’t allow their subordinates to trade the recipe of the Dustfall Pill freely.

Moreover, he heard no news of the Tianhe Sect having such a young female pill master at tier six.

Could it be that she is from another Nascent Soul sect?

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Otherwise, there was no need for her to personally purchase Blood Sun Flowers. She could have bought them internally since the entire auction house belonged to the Tianhe Sect.

Who cares where she’s from, it doesn’t have anything to do with me!”

Suppressing the myriad thoughts in his mind, Xu Mu looked back.

Nine huge islands were still occasionally visible through the clouds and mist,

The majestic Tianhe City lay sprawling on the ground, exuding an old aura, as if it would exist forever.

He couldn’t help but feel some regret that he hadn’t been able to visit the Tianhe Sect.

He didn’t know when he would have the chance to come back to this city in the future.

As for Fairy You Lan, it was also unknown whether he would ever see her again in this lifetime.

In Tianhe City the spring days are long, the wind carries the scent of orchids. I bid farewell to the beautiful woman and seek the Dao, free-spirited under the vast heavens and earth!”

Elder Jin, have you found out anything about him?

Standing in front of the window in the attic, looking in the direction where Xu Mu had left, Fairy You Lan asked softly.

He cultivates both law and body; his body cultivation is of the lightning attribute, and his soul essence is sealed within him. His main martial method is related to soul cultivation, and he is under a hundred years old.”

The old man, slightly bending over, had clear eyes that twinkled like stars.

At less than a hundred years old, and already cultivating both law and body- such a talent would even be a core disciple in a large sect in our Central Territory. I didn’t expect that such outstanding talent could emerge from such remote and humble origins!” Fairy You Lan sighed.

The old man kept silent.

Let’s go! Let’s go take a look at the Tongyou Sect, it’s time for us to return. It’s been almost thirty years since we left, I wonder if father and mother miss me!”

Before she had finished speaking, the two of them disappeared like wisps of green smoke.

Far away, the volcanic mouth where Liyang Sect was located was still spewing smoke. One after another, cultivators turned into streaks of light, rising from it and speeding away into the distance.

At the same time, there were also streaks of light flying in from the distance, landing inside the sect.

After a three-day journey, Xu Mu descended from the flying boat when he was about ten miles away from the city and walked towards the city on foot.

The city was still bustling, with cultivators coming and going, and it had not undergone any changes due to his brief absence.

With the disappearance of the ghost cultivator threat, the city had gradually restored its previous prosperity.

Any cultivators willing to go to the Yingshuang Market of the Clear River Sword Sect to reclaim the wild lands? Regardless of cultivation level, as long as you are willing to go, there will be a reward of one lower-grade spirit stone per day!”

Does anyone wish to go to the Morning Star Market? Not only can you receive a lower-grade spirit stone every day, but there are also Fasting Pills freely distributed to everyone!”

Willing to come to Clear River City! You will be exempt from three years of rent, and you will be allowed to use the spirit vein for free!”

At an empty space near the city gate, a large number of cultivators had gathered. Among them, many were wearing the Liyang Sect’s robes and were shouting loudly.

Xu Mu took a look and found that they were all foundation establishment families recruiting cultivators to reclaim the wild lands.

From the information Hou Quan had shared, the original Clear River Sword Sect had been entirely allocated to the Liyang Sect. The major markets within the sect had long been divvied up among the elder cultivators.

Now, the major foundation establishment families had begun to move in successively to the markets allocated to them.

However, due to the havoc wreaked by the Soul Forging Sect, it was assumed there were only a few cultivators left in the original markets.

If these families wanted to stabilize their position and quickly gain profits, they had to recruit new people to reclaim the wild lands.

Apart from here in Liyang City, as long as it belonged to the Liyang Sect, all major markets were recruiting teams.

For low-level cultivators, this was indeed a rare opportunity.

The newly-developed marketplace was vast and sparsely populated, making the acquisition of resources much easier than in places like the Liyang Sect.

Of course, opportunity often comes with danger. In the end, whether you die in a foreign land or return home triumphant, nobody knows.

I wonder how White River City is doing? How many of my old acquaintances are still alive? And which family has it been assigned to?”

A sudden urge to return home welled up within Xu Mu.

But he suppressed it quickly.

According to the information he had previously heard, the entire Clear River Sword Sect had fallen victim to a massacre by the Soul Forcing Sect, and White River City had not been spared. By now, it might already be in ruins, and whether anyone had survived was unknown.

With a bitter smile, Xu Mu shook his head and continued walking towards the city center.

After only a few steps, a familiar figure suddenly caught his eye.

Miss Si?

Hmm?

Si Tan’er, her eyebrows furrowed, paused and directed her reddish pupils towards the source of the voice.

Who are you?”

After blinking her beautiful eyes a few times, Si Tan’er finally remembered.

Xu… Senior Xu?!

It’s been a long time, what are you doing here?” Xu Mu asked with a smile.

I’m planning to leave Liyang City and was looking for a suitable place here!

A hint of distress showed on Si Tan’er’s charming face.

Leaving? Why?” Xu Mu asked, puzzled.

Considering her talent and the resources provided by her grandfather, she should have stayed in the city and devoted herself to cultivation.

My grandfather passed away, and I’ve mortgaged the house in the city! If I don’t find another place soon, I won’t even be able to afford food!” Si Tan’er sighed.

Did Friend Si pass away?”

Yes!

How could it happen so quickly?

Xu Mu seemed perplexed.

When he last ran around the city buying Yellow Dragon Pills, he ran into Si Tan’er’s grandfather, Si Xuanjing, who seemed hale and hearty. He should live for another ten to eight years at least.

And considering Si Xuanjing’s character, he should have amassed quite a sum, preventing Si Tan’er from losing her house.

All because of that damn Foundation Establishment Pill!” Si Tan’er clenched her teeth in hatred.

…” Xu Mu was speechless.

Could it be…

From Si Tan’er, he learned that due to the arrival of a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills in the city, Si Xuanjing, who had given up on reaching the Foundation Establishment stage due to his old age, got an idea.

Whether it was a rumor spread by Chi Feiyan or it was true, it was said that someone had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of one hundred and lived a second life.

This stimulated a group of elderly cultivators who were close to the end of their lives. One by one, they sold everything they had to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill, hoping to make a last-ditch effort before their deaths.

According to normal probability, the success rate of a Qi Cultivation Late Stage cultivator over a hundred years old reaching the Foundation Establishment stage with a middle-grade pill was less than one in a thousand. It was tantamount to courting death.

Nevertheless, when their time was up, even if they knew they were throwing their lives away, how many cultivators could hold back?

In the past, they didn’t have the money or the opportunity to buy such pills. But now, not only are these pills available, but they are also middle-grade. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

After all, they could live another hundred years if they took one step forward. Even if they failed, they would have died anyway, so having Spirit Stones would have made no difference.

As for their descendants?

Well, they would just have to-

They would have to rely on their own fortune!

And it seems that Si Tan’er was a victim of such circumstances.

Miss Si, I remember you’re not really good at fighting or alchemy, right?

Putting it bluntly, aside from her cultivation level that was passable, she was unskillful in every other aspect.

This was not entirely Si Tan’er’s fault, as most Loose Cultivators who aimed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage would usually abandon the cultivation of skills such as magic and alchemy in their early stages to speed up their progress.

Leng Yuening had been in a similar situation before.

I know that, but I don’t have any other options!

Si Tan’er sighed again, a touch of helplessness in her reddish eyes.

If you really have no other options, why not marry me? I’ll provide for you!
