This time's breakthrough can be said to be quite significant. Apart from his own strength, what made Xu Mu particularly delighted was his lifespan, which unexpectedly increased by more than twenty years.

Although he knew that his lifespan would increase before the breakthrough, he didn't expect it to increase by this much. Originally, he thought that ten or eight years would be good enough.

"The Thundering Sword Art will continue to increase even at the Grandmaster level, not to mention the Transcendent Realm! If we also consider the breakthrough in cultivation, I might be able to surpass the two hundred lifespan of the Foundation Building stage while still in the Qi Refining stage!"

After breaking through the Foundation Building stage, cultivators can live for at least two hundred years.

However, the consumption of Luck value is too fast. It took so much effort to accumulate it, but it quickly depleted.

I still need to find a way to increase my Luck value!

After the war is over, I'll start preparing for a second child!

Xu Mu thought to himself.

He walked out of the room, ready to share his joy with his wife.

Unexpectedly, when he saw his wife Ye Yingying, instead of joy, she had a frightened expression on her face.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house!"

Ye Yingying nervously held a talisman and shouted loudly.

...

Xu Mu was speechless.

He touched his own face in confusion and asked, "Did I change so much?"

"You, are you my husband?"

Hearing Xu Mu's voice, Ye Yingying widened her beautiful eyes and asked uncertainly.

"If it's not me, then who else could it be? It's just that I had a breakthrough in cultivation and gained some lifespan!" Xu Mu smiled bitterly.

Ye Yingying carefully examined him and pinched herself before confirming that he was indeed her husband.

"Husband, you... you've changed too much!"

Ye Yingying was astonished and a bit tongue-tied.

She turned around and picked up the bronze mirror, wanting Xu Mu to see for himself.

But Xu Mu didn't take it. Instead, he formed hand seals with both hands and conjured up a water mirror out of thin air.

This was a water mirror technique he had occasionally learned while practicing spells recently. It could basically replace the mirrors from his previous life.

Seeing Xu Mu conjure the water mirror, Ye Yingying put the bronze mirror back and a hint of envy appeared in her ink-black pupils.

She also wanted to learn this spell.

In the mirror, Xu Mu had a delicate and smooth face, without a single wrinkle. His hair was as black as ink, each strand like a steel wire. There was a hint of indifference between his eyebrows, and his overly high nose bridge revealed a sense of determination and aggressiveness, making people not dare to underestimate him.

These changes weren't too significant; he had always had this appearance. But when these features came together, it was earth-shattering.

Not only did his temperament become more outstanding, but he also looked more than ten years younger.

When he first obtained the system, he was an old cultivator in his sixties. Later, after taking the jade essence pill and breaking through his cultivation, he looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties.

And now, he looked like a robust man in his thirties.

No wonder Ye Yingying didn't recognize him for a moment.

Coupled with his hidden mastery, it felt like he had become a different person.

"Good, good!"

Xu Mu pinched his chin, looked around, and a smile appeared on his face. He was quite satisfied.

No one doesn't want to become younger!

"Yiya, yiya!"

Little Ling'er, who was being held in Ye Yingying's arms, kept reaching out towards Xu Mu, asking to be held.

"Haha! I didn't expect you, little devil, to also judge people by their appearance!" Xu Mu laughed.

Before, when he tried to hold her, Little Ling'er always refused. Even if he managed to hold her reluctantly, she would cry after a while. It was the first time she took the initiative like this.

"This little girl doesn't resemble me at all!" Ye Yingying said angrily.

She didn't judge people by their appearance. When Xu Mu was much older, she still married him, and they had a harmonious relationship.

"I know! My Ying'er is the best!" Xu Mu held Little Ling'er with one hand and playfully flicked Ye Yingying's nose with the other, saying with a smile.

"She definitely inherited it from me. If I didn't judge people by their appearance, how could I have found such a beautiful wife like you!" Xu Mu winked at Ye Yingying and said.

"Hehe!"

Ye Yingying immediately laughed.

What woman wouldn't like being praised?

After spending two days at home with his wife and getting used to the changes in his body, Xu Mu left the house and prepared to go to the market to see if Lian Shijin was still there.

Just as he stepped out, he ran into Li Moqing, the neighbor who had just returned from outside.

She was Jia An's wife!

Considering that he was the enemy who killed her husband, it was just that she didn't know.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to find me?" Seeing Xu Mu walking out, Li Moqing's eyes carried a hint of flirtation, and she asked with a smile on her face.

You couldn't tell at all that she had just lost her husband.

Moreover, Li Moqing at this moment had undergone significant changes compared to a month ago. Her originally plump figure had completely tightened, becoming curvaceous. Even her loose Daoist robe couldn't conceal it.

Especially her chest, it was heavy, and it was unclear if it was natural or intentional.

Her facial features weren't exquisite, but her eyes were seductive, exuding a strong sense of sensuality.

My whole body is filled with a strong scent of smoke and grease makeup.

Completely unrecognizable from the original obese woman.

If it weren't for the same voice and a slight resemblance in appearance, Xu Mu wouldn't have recognized her.

This once again proves that her obesity was completely caused by her cultivation technique.

Her current appearance is probably her true face.

"Li Fellow Daoist, it's me! Xu Mu!"

Xu Mu slightly bowed and replied.

"Xu, Xu Mu?!"

Li Moqing looked surprised, carefully examining her up and down before confirming.

"Xu Fellow Daoist, you really are getting younger and younger!"

Li Moqing couldn't help but exclaim.

This statement is really not false at all!

"I recently obtained a kind of pill, I didn't expect it to have such an effect when I took it." Xu Mu smiled.

He didn't want to reveal his identity as a body cultivator, so he had already prepared a cover-up excuse.

"A pill?!!"

Li Moqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Xu Fellow Daoist, do you still have this pill? Can you sell me one? Name your price!"

"Sorry, I also obtained it by chance, I only have one!" Xu Mu apologized.

"Then where did you... no, can you get another one? Fellow Daoist will definitely benefit greatly!" Li Moqing was very eager.

Xu Mu shook his head.

"Li Fellow Daoist, I really obtained it accidentally, otherwise I would have bought it and let my wife take it!"

"Well, that's really a pity!"

Li Moqing's face was full of disappointment. She arched her hand and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly thought of something. She winked at Xu Mu and smiled, "Xu Fellow Daoist, you can come to my house often in the future. My husband is not here anymore, and I'm all alone!"

"..."

Xu Mu's face stiffened, he awkwardly smiled and quickly bid farewell and left.

He didn't expect that this woman would change so much after her husband's death.

Clearly, they are both widows, why is there no change in Fellow Daoist Lan?

"Xu Fellow Daoist, please come often! I promise to satisfy you!"

Li Moqing shouted at Xu Mu again, but seeing that Xu Mu didn't turn back, she regretfully turned around and went home.

Just as Xu Mu left the alley, he ran into two unfamiliar cultivators. They were wearing green Daoist robes and were in their forties or fifties.

The two of them reached out and stopped him, politely bowing and asking, "Fellow Daoist, do you know where Li Moqing, Fellow Daoist Li, lives?"

"Who are you?" Xu Mu frowned and asked.

"We were introduced by a friend!"

"Introduced by a friend? What do you want with her?" Xu Mu asked, puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist is joking, what else can we do but enjoy ourselves with spirit stones? It is said that she..."

Both of them had expressions that men understand.

"I don't know her! Ask someone else!" Xu Mu's face turned ugly as he walked away.

He didn't have any sympathy for Li Moqing, but he felt extremely uncomfortable having such a person living next door to him.

Originally, he thought he had done Jia An a favor by easily killing him, but now he felt a bit sorry for him.

He hoped that Jia An would know in the afterlife and not be angered again.

"Why is this person like this!"

One of them looked at Xu Mu's back and said unhappily.

"He probably just finished and feels like he didn't get enough time. Let's ignore him and go ask ahead!"

"..."

Hearing their conversation, Xu Mu was so angry that he almost conjured a sword of fire to throw at them.

He must warn Li Moqing!

It was the other person's freedom to do whatever they wanted, but it was not acceptable if it affected him.

...

The sky was gloomy, with frozen gray clouds gathering.

In the moist air, everyone was in a hurry.

When Xu Mu was about to reach the entrance of the market, he suddenly stopped and looked intently.

At some point, several cultivators appeared at the entrance of the market, checking the people coming in and out one by one.

In Xu Mu's perception of flames, these people had strong auras, all of them were experts in the later stage of Qi Refining. Their eyes were sharp and piercing, making people feel frightened. Obviously, they were not the kind of cultivators who had no combat power.

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on at the entrance?" Xu Mu stopped a cultivator who had just come out of the market, wearing a yellow robe, and handed him a low-grade spirit stone, asking with a smile.

"Oh! You're asking about this! Recently, some demonic cultivators from the Soul Refining Sect have infiltrated here. They are searching for demonic cultivators!" The cultivator in the yellow robe took Xu Mu's spirit stone and put it in his pocket, smiling and saying.

"I see! Thank you, Fellow Daoist!" Xu Mu thanked him with a cupped fist.

After the cultivator in the yellow robe left, Xu Mu stood still, feeling a sense of worry in his heart.

He felt that things were not that simple!

During the most intense period recently, he had never seen the market arrange cultivators in the later stage of Qi Refining to guard the entrance and conduct inspections one by one.

The biggest thing that had happened recently was that he had wiped out half of a patrol team and killed the leader, who was suspected to be from a major family.

Could it be that the other party hadn't given up?

Just as Xu Mu was considering whether to turn around and leave, someone among the group of search cultivators noticed his abnormal behavior and looked over from afar, staring at him up and down.

Xu Mu inwardly cursed, "This is bad."

He didn't expect these cultivators to be so vigilant. He was only slightly delayed and was already noticed.

If he turned around now, it would likely arouse their suspicion.

Xu Mu could only grit his teeth and calmly walk towards the entrance of the market.

"You, stop!"

The cultivator in the later stage of Qi Refining who had been staring at him narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what's the matter?" Xu Mu politely asked.

But the person ignored him and took out a portrait from his storage bag to compare.
