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

Chapter 51 Sword Master

Chapter 51: Sword Master

The shadows of the trees swayed gently.

The morning light was faint.

Xu Mu's figure moved like lightning, swiftly traversing through the forest.

In an instant, a flower-patterned python, completely blending with the branches and leaves, suddenly shot out as Xu Mu passed by.

Puchi!

Xu Mu's sword flashed like a crimson thunderbolt, instantly slashing across the snake's body.

The python's head separated in an instant, blood splattering, and with a thud, it fell to the ground.

The snake's body continued to twist and roll, causing the decaying leaves on the ground to fly everywhere.

Without any hesitation, Xu Mu continued on his way.

He was looking for a third-order monster, and the python was only a first-order monster with very little energy.

The abnormal behavior of the green wolves not long ago made him feel uneasy, so he wanted to quickly hunt enough monsters to accumulate resources for a breakthrough.

"Lucky!"

As he walked, a white silk thread spewed out from the darkness. Xu Mu swiftly dodged and looked up to see a green-haired spider twice the size of a grinding disc.

Judging from the aura emitted by the green-haired spider, it was undoubtedly a third-order monster.

"This big one should be enough!"

Xu Mu muttered to himself.

His figure moved like lightning, dodging the spider's silk threads while rapidly approaching the green-haired spider.

Realizing that it couldn't hit Xu Mu, the green-haired spider decisively gave up, turned around, and spat out silk, sticking to a large tree in the distance. With the force of its eight legs, it jumped up, relying on the drag of the silk thread to escape quickly.

But how could Xu Mu give it a chance?

With a single hand gesture, a fire dragon instantly surged out, biting at the green-haired spider's hind leg.

Hiss!

The green-haired spider evaded by leaping.

Xu Mu's aura surged, suddenly accelerating.

The golden-red sword in his hand emitted a scorching aura.

Thunderous Sword Art - Thunderous Dash!

In the moment when the green-haired spider couldn't react, Xu Mu slashed across its abdomen.

Sizzle!

The green-haired spider let out a hiss, wanting to escape again. Its internal organs, mixed with green blood, flowed onto the ground, struggling to take a few steps before falling down.

Xu Mu approached and delivered another sword strike to its head, completely ending its life.

After discarding the internal organs and some inedible organs, Xu Mu's hand emitted red flames, quickly wrapping the entire green-haired spider.

Soon, the aroma of meat filled the air.

The originally green-haired spider was quickly roasted to a bright red, arousing one's appetite.

After cutting it up, Xu Mu stored it in his storage bag and ate while walking.

Too lazy to peel, just put it in your mouth and chew.

His dental health is excellent, the hard shell becomes crispy and fragrant in his mouth.

Crunchy, tastes like chicken!

When his stomach couldn't hold any more food, he added some points to the Thunder Swordsmanship using the system.

By the time he returned to the cave, Thunder Swordsmanship had reached the level of grandmaster; 1599/1600.

Seeing Xu Mu return, the originally tense crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, with Xu Mu's strength, he could have left on his own.

He couldn't do anything to that green wolf, and the green wolf couldn't do anything to him either. If it weren't for the burden of the others, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to leave.

But how could he abandon his wife and children?

If he didn't have a wife and children, he could consider it.

After entering the cave, Xu Mu didn't waste any time and took out a dark red Lingzhi mushroom and ate it directly.

This is a 500-year-old Blood Lingzhi that he found in the nest of a certain monster he hunted along the way.

Most monsters have the habit of collecting spiritual herbs, hoping to use them as assistance when they advance.

Like the green-haired spider that was just killed, if he was willing to chase it into its cave, he might have gained something.

In addition to this Blood Lingzhi, there is also a 200-year-old wild ginseng, both are nourishing herbs for qi and blood.

Xu Mu also took them out and placed them beside him, just in case.

In addition to these, all the fasting pills were also taken out.

Even with all these preparations, he still wasn't at ease, but there was no more time to prepare.

Xu Mu summoned the system and started adding points.

[Thunder Swordsmanship +1]!

...

[Thunder Swordsmanship Grandmaster; 0/3200]!

...

With the breakthrough in realm, the Blood Lingzhi that was just eaten was quickly digested, and Xu Mu hurriedly ate the 200-year-old wild ginseng.

The hunger in his abdomen finally eased, and his body began to undergo a rapid transformation.

Rumble!

The blood in his body surged like a river, his heart went from slow to fast, and it started beating frantically.

The others in the cave only felt that Xu Mu's chest was like a hidden war drum, constantly pounding.

The deafening drum sound shook the entire mountain as if it was trembling.

The people in the cave only felt the sound of drums in their ears, and their blood began to boil.

"Get out quickly!"

Seeing Ye Yingying, who was dizzy and about to collapse, Blue Shijin reacted in time and quickly activated the formation, leading everyone out of the cave.

After half an hour, the sound of the heartbeat in the cave gradually faded away.

Blue Shijin asked everyone to stay outside and carefully went in to check.

Just then, she quickly ran out with a slight blush on her face.

"Sister Lan, how is my husband?" Ye Yingying asked anxiously.

"He's... he's fine!"

Lan Shijin didn't know what to say.

When she went in, Xu Mu was cleaning the dirt from his body after the marrow-cleansing and meridian-opening process. Although no critical areas were exposed, it still made her blush and her heart race.

Not long after, a refreshed Xu Mu walked out of the cave.

At this moment, he was bald, with no eyebrows, and even all the hair on his body had fallen off, making him completely bald.

His eyes, however, were deep like an abyss, capable of captivating anyone with just one glance.

Xu Mu moved his mouth, wanting to speak, but ended up spitting out a few white teeth as he opened his mouth.

Everyone noticed that all of Xu Mu's teeth had fallen out.

"Husband, are you okay?" Ye Yingying asked with a worried face.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, is your body alright?" others also asked with concern.

Little Ling'er, who was being held in Cold Moon Ning's arms, rolled her big eyes around, as if seeing Xu Mu for the first time.

Her little nose twitched as she desperately pulled Cold Moon Ning closer to Xu Mu.

When Xu Mu reached out to touch her, she instead nibbled on his finger.

Because on Xu Mu's body, she smelled a very comfortable fragrance.

Xu Mu pinched her little nose, retracted his finger, and smiled, saying, "It's fine! It's just a slight change in appearance due to a breakthrough in cultivation! It'll be fine soon!"

He touched his shiny bald head with his hand.

The next moment, something magical happened!

His originally bald head quickly grew tiny hairs, reaching half an inch in just a few breaths, becoming thick and black.

At the same time, his eyebrows grew out as well.

When he opened his mouth, tiny milk teeth emerged from his previously toothless gums, continuously expanding.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Although cultivators had various miraculous methods, they had never seen the ability to control the growth of hair and teeth.

If they carefully counted Xu Mu's teeth now, they would find that he had exactly forty-four, more than an ordinary person.

This was a manifestation of achieving Body Refining and reaching the level of Blood Exchange.

At this moment, Xu Mu had crossed this threshold with the help of the system and spiritual medicine, reaching the level of Blood Exchange and shedding his hair.

His blood flowed like mercury, undergoing a rebirth, and his strength seemed endless, several times that of the Marrow Cleansing level.

The hard Xuan Iron Sword in his hand felt like mud.

At the same time, he gained the ability to control the contraction of his heart, stimulating it for a short period of time to achieve a high-intensity burst of power.

Originally, Xu Mu only had a seventy percent chance of killing the Green Wolf after his breakthrough. But now, with the ability to control his heart, he had at least a ninety percent chance.

At the same time, his cherished lifespan had also increased significantly.

"Wait for me here!"

"I'll kill that beast, and then we'll leave!"

During this time, he wasn't just passively getting beaten.

He had long discovered the hiding place of the Green Wolf.
