Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 4: Master of the Imperial Fire

Memory!

As the points were added, a vast memory immediately surged in Xu Mu's mind.

Familiar yet unfamiliar!

It was all about the various experiences of the Imperial Fire Technique.

These experiences were accumulated through his daily learning, year after year, constantly improving and honing his skills.

Xu Mu closed his eyes and focused his mind.

Continuously accepting this vast memory!

After a while...

Phew!

Xu Mu let out a breath.

"Fortunately, I didn't add all the points at once, otherwise my memory would have been overwhelmed and turned into a fool!"

Xu Mu felt relieved.

Although he only added seventy-seven points to his Luck value, according to Xu Mu's original cultivation speed, it would have taken at least several years to achieve.

Just thinking about gaining several years' worth of memories at once gave him a sense of what it would feel like.

However,

This kind of improvement is truly amazing!

Snap!

Xu Mu snapped his fingers with his right hand.

Puff!

A strand of orange-red flame emerged from his fingernail.

Xu Mu extended his right hand forward, and with a wave in the air, whoosh! A large ball of fire appeared before his eyes.

He retracted his right hand and clasped his hands together.

His ten fingers flew, quickly forming several hand seals.

Swish!

The flames twisted and rapidly transformed into a fiery bird, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

The bird flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, then dived towards a stone on the ground.

Just as it was about to collide, it suddenly stopped.

Xu Mu felt a cold sweat in his heart.

His wife and daughter had just fallen asleep.

If this caused a disturbance, they would definitely wake up!

It's really difficult to soothe a baby!

He formed another hand seal.

The fiery bird instantly transformed into a fiery snake, coiling around the stone and slowly lifting it from the ground.

It continued to fly until it reached a height of more than one person, showing signs of collapse.

Xu Mu quickly released it.

"It's more than twice as easy as before! I'm afraid the impact force is the same! I just don't know what the power will be like after compression?"

Unfortunately, the house was too small to experiment in.

If he really tried it, not only would his wife and daughter wake up, but everyone in the entire alley might be disturbed.

However,

Trying to compress it a little should be possible. When it's on the verge of its limit, he can just disperse it.

The fiery snake quickly flew in front of him. Under the control of the hand seal, it shrank into a swirling small ball, rapidly shrinking from the size of a face to the size of a fist.

From orange-red to blood-red, and then to dark red!

The faint fluctuation at the center startled Xu Mu, and he quickly dispersed it.

"The explosive power of this compressed fireball might have already reached the level of a second-tier spell. Its power increases exponentially, completely different from the amplification of attack power and pulling force!"

Perhaps in the future, it will become a divine technique!

Xu Mu was extremely excited!

However, this compressed fireball was like a chemical reaction.

In the later stages, he had a feeling that he couldn't control it.

It's because his cultivation level is too low!

Because making compressed fireballs not only tests control, but also requires strong mental strength, otherwise it will go out of control.

"This is just a satisfactory level, if it is raised to extraordinary, then wouldn't it be..." Xu Mu didn't dare to think.

Because if things go wrong, he might blow himself up!

Xu Mu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, and began to restore his spiritual power and mental state.

After his condition recovered.

He opened the system panel again and added Luck points to Fire Manipulation.

However,

This time he learned his lesson and only added ten points at a time, absorbing the experience completely before continuing to add.

It took him nearly half an hour to raise Fire Manipulation to the master level, using eight hundred Luck points.

Phew!

Xu Mu took a break!

He snapped his fingers with his right hand and released flames.

With just a gesture, the flames seemed to become an extension of him.

With a thought!

Gurgle!

The flames turned into flying birds, with each feather clearly visible.

Hiss!

The flames turned into a fire snake, revealing the smooth patterns on its body.

Then came a fierce tiger, a deer, a rabbit, an eagle, and so on. There was no need for control at all. Just by imagining, they could appear.

With a change of Xu Mu's gesture,

The flames covered the ground with dozens of pounds of stones!

He couldn't feel any pressure at all.

Hoo hoo!

The stones turned into a fireball, flying around the room like a shooting star.

"This can be used directly to hit people!" Xu Mu's eyes sparkled with excitement.

He didn't expect that the Fire Manipulation, which was only a first-level spell, would have such power when cultivated to the master level.

As for the compressed fireball, he didn't dare to try it.

Rest and recover!

Continue to add points!

From master level to grandmaster level in Fire Manipulation, it took a total of one thousand six hundred points!

Xu Mu spent two more hours adding points.

His head was spinning and he was exhausted.

He didn't have the strength to try again. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep.

When he woke up again,

It was already the afternoon of the next day!

"Wa wa wa wa!"

His daughter cried loudly by his side.

Xu Mu looked around, but his wife was nowhere to be seen.

He quickly got up!

He left the bedroom and saw his wife busy in the kitchen.

"You just gave birth, you can't get out of bed, quickly go back and rest!"

"It's all my fault! I practiced for too long yesterday!"

Xu Mu felt heartbroken.

He had just said yesterday that he wouldn't let his wife suffer, but today he let his wife who had just given birth get out of bed and work.

It was truly a slap in the face!

"I feel fine! It's not that serious!"

Ye Yingying's pale face showed a gentle smile.

"Listen to me!"

Xu Mu's face darkened slightly.

"Oh!"

Ye Yingying lowered her head, very obedient.

Like a child who has done something wrong.

Xu Mu forced a bitter smile and couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

"I just don't want you to have any lingering illness because of this!"

"Mhmm! I understand what you mean, husband!"

Ye Yingying's face once again showed a smile.

Innocent and naive!

Xu Mu lovingly embraced her and gave her a kiss before carrying her back.

After eating.

Ye Yingying took care of the child!

Xu Mu returned to the storage room and began to experiment with the power of the Grandmaster-level Fire Control Technique.

Puff!

Flames burst from his fingertips!

No need for incantations anymore, everything seemed to become instinctual.

Xu Mu's fingers moved slightly.

The flames transformed into a lifelike flying bird.

One could even see the fine feathers on it, swaying in the wind!

The bird flapped its wings and flew high, circling around the roof before landing on Xu Mu's shoulder, gently pecking at his clothes.

Full of spirituality, like a living creature!

"Haha! Amazing!"

Even Xu Mu was amazed by his own abilities.

It's simply unbelievable!

"If I were to rely on my original cultivation speed, I probably wouldn't reach this level in my lifetime!"

Although Fire Control Technique is a first-tier spell, the difficulty of cultivation in the later stages is equally astonishing.

Not just Fire Control Technique!

Any spell is easy to learn but difficult to master. In the later stages, the difficulty increases exponentially.

That's why most cultivators only dabble in spells.

In their opinion, as long as their cultivation level improves, there's no need to struggle with low-level spells.

Xu Mu was helpless.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have invested so much effort into Fire Control Technique.

Directly cultivating high-level spells, isn't it great?

Bang!

The flaming bird dispersed, turning into strands of sparks that once again enveloped the blackened stones on the ground.

Huffing and puffing!

It was like a real meteor falling from the sky!

Amidst the flying stones, there were bursts of sonic booms!

"This power, even if a Qi Refining cultivator at the sixth level were to be hit, they would spit blood!"

Xu Mu put down the stone and excitedly took a few steps in place.

By the way,

Can I do this?

A small flame appeared on his fingernail!

The flame kept compressing, turning into a dark red ball the size of a soybean.

Xu Mu flicked his finger!

Bang!

The fireball hit the stone, exploding and instantly creating a deep pit.

The stone was covered in cracks and almost shattered!

"Damn!"

Xu Mu was once again shocked by his own abilities.

This explosive power is almost surpassing the first-tier Fireball Technique!

And the spiritual power he used was less than one-tenth of what Fireball Technique requires.

The speed is even several times faster than Fireball Technique!

"Small target, great power, convenient to use, this skill is perfect for sneak attacks!"

"From now on, I'll call it: Fireball Technique!"

Xu Mu continued to experiment for a while and became more proficient in Fire Control Technique.

Ye Yingying didn't come in to check on the noise Xu Mu made in the room.

Xu Mu had instructed her before.

Without his permission, she shouldn't enter when he's cultivating.

Ye Yingying had always followed this instruction.

Although Ye Yingying had poor talent, low cultivation level, no experience, and no scheming, she was obedient!

Very obedient!

She listened and followed, completely submissive!

For Xu Mu, this was already enough.

The current system panel.

[Fire Control Technique Grandmaster: 0/3200]

[Luck Value: 7543]

Including the ten points of Luck Value gained today!

Xu Mu really wanted to directly elevate Fire Control Technique to the Transcendent level.

But he also knew it was not possible!

The memories from Grandmaster to Transcendent were too vast, and he couldn't absorb them in a short time.

Especially at the moment of breakthrough,

Various insights would surge forth, instantly driving a person to madness.

"The Grandmaster-level Fire Control Technique is enough for now!"

If he were to continue advancing, it would be like the difference between a child holding a cloud-bursting bomb and a mushroom bomb.

In the process of killing enemies, he would also die!

There was also the limitation of mana!

The skill was too high!

The blue bar was too low!

He couldn't cast it!

"Let's slowly improve Fire Control Technique in the future, and first improve other skills!"

"Increase the chance of survival!"

Xu Mu set his sights on another spell!

Lightness Technique!

The function of Lightness Technique is very simple, it reduces body weight!

Increases movement speed!

His Lightness Technique was now at the proficient level!

After casting it, it could reduce his body weight by thirty percent.

Equivalent to a person suddenly dropping thirty kilograms of weight.

The increase in speed can be imagined!

As cultivators' cultivation level increases, their physique also improves.

But compared to the amplification of spells, it still falls short.

With or without Lightness Technique, it's completely different.

Unless it's a Body Refining cultivator!

With Lightness Technique, he had an extra life-saving skill.

After all, he had a family to take care of!

He had to cherish his life!

"System!"

"Allocate points!"

[Lightness Technique +86]

[Lightness Technique Mastery: 0/400]
