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

Chapter 59: Ascending to the Holy Realm

In the following months, Xu Mu enjoyed the most leisurely days of his life.

The environment was stable, and he had no shortage of spirit stones. He had plenty of time to cultivate.

Apart from the occasional resentful look from Lan Shijin.

But it's not my fault!

I didn't make that sound!

As for the Silent Note, it's such a waste!

I just wanted to be frugal, nothing more.

Time flew by in an instant!

Over three months later!

On this day, after Xu Mu went out to purchase a large amount of elixirs, he informed a few people that he would be in seclusion and went up to the third floor of the attic alone.

This was his exclusive cultivation space.

The room was spacious, with a diameter of fifty steps, and there were no obstacles except for some simple decorations.

Opening the window, he could see the scenery of several nearby streets.

In the distance, the green locust trees had turned yellow, and the autumn wind blew, causing the fallen leaves to dance.

A group of guards in red armor scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes. One of the cultivators with sharp eyebrows glanced at Xu Mu, who was standing on the attic.

Xu Mu looked down into the courtyard and saw Xiaoling, wearing a chestnut-colored dress, chasing after a grown white wolf, running fast and shouting from time to time, "I caught you, I caught you."

Ouyang Ying, leaning on a cane, stood by and watched with a smile.

In the room of the house, Xiaozhang Yu was being forced by his grandfather to practice writing, his little face filled with bitterness.

Looking at Xiaoling playing in the courtyard, he couldn't help but envy her.

Zhang Shouren, on the other hand, held a book in one hand and pinched his goatee with the other. He walked around the flower bed, occasionally squatting down to inspect the herbs planted in it.

He always felt that the space in the courtyard was wasted on flowers.

More than half of the spiritual energy from outside could be used to cultivate high-grade spiritual fields. If managed well, they could yield a dozen or so low-grade spirit stones every month.

Finally, with Xu Mu's permission, he spent his own money to buy some spiritual medicine seedlings and planted them there, studying them all day long.

Xu Mu could only respond with a wry smile to this.

People who could afford to live in such a house wouldn't be lacking a few spirit stones.

Closing the window, Xu Mu closed his eyes and began to sense.

In the room on the second floor, Ye Yingying was lying on the bed resting. Her belly was already quite big, making it impossible for her to sit and cultivate for the time being.

During this period of time, besides eating and moving her body, Ye Yingying spent most of her time lying down and resting. Xu Mu could only restrain himself at night.

But it didn't have much impact on their life.

After all, when she was pregnant with their first child, Ye Yingying was still helping with the household chores near the time of delivery.

After all, she was a cultivator, much stronger than ordinary people.

Moreover, Ye Yingying's cultivation level now was much higher than before. Coupled with the long-term consumption of Jade Essence Pills to improve her physique, it wouldn't really affect their life even if it was another two months.

If it weren't for Xu Mu's insistence on her resting more, she would have probably gone to the courtyard to play with Xiaoling.

In the room on the first floor, Lán Shījǐn was meditating with her eyes closed.

Being tormented by the two of them at night, she could only squeeze out some time during the day to cultivate.

During this time, Xu Mu had given her a lot of elixirs. After all, she was his mother-in-law, and she was also taking this opportunity to make a breakthrough in the Late Qi Refining stage.

As for Lěng Yuèníng in the other room, she was also cultivating. Her abdomen had already slightly bulged, and Xu Mu could clearly sense the vigorous vitality within.

Responsibility is becoming heavier and heavier!

In the previous life, giving birth to three children was enough to make people worry to death.

Withdrawing his perception, Xu Mu activated the Spirit Gathering Formation in the room to its maximum, and then took out bottle after bottle of Yellow Dragon Elixir.

After more than three months of accumulation, his Luck value was already enough to elevate the Thunderbolt Sword Art to the level of Transcendence.

His cultivation had also reached the limit of the sixth level.

Xu Mu wanted to break through the Thunderbolt Sword Art first, and then rely on the transformation of his physique to impact the seventh level of Qi Refining.

After reaching the Transcendent realm with the Thunderbolt Sword Art, the corresponding level of Body Refining would be the Opening of the Orifices.

By using qi and blood to open the acupuncture points, there would be a mutual connection between the internal and external, and every move and technique could mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, possessing a power that surpassed the mundane.

To avoid any accidents, Xu Mu took three Yellow Dragon Elixirs at once, and then added a little to the Thunderbolt Sword Art.

After several attempts, he found that the energy contained in one Yellow Dragon Elixir was just enough to offset the consumption of three proficiency points.

During the previous period, he used Green Wolf Meat to elevate the Thunderbolt Sword Art to eight hundred points.

Now, the Thunderbolt Sword Art was only two thousand six hundred points away from the Transcendent realm.

According to the calculation of one elixir for three points, it would probably take more than eighty bottles of Yellow Dragon Elixir to elevate the Thunderbolt Sword Art to the Transcendent level.

Of course, it would definitely be more than that, because the further he progressed, the greater the consumption would be for each advancement.

Xu Mu estimated that he would need at least two hundred bottles to be completely safe.

Although the effect of the Yellow Dragon Elixir was just to replace food, it was still a third-grade elixir. In terms of the price in Liyang City, one bottle would cost fifty to sixty low-grade spirit stones.

Calculating with fifty spirit stones, two hundred bottles would be exactly ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

That was equivalent to one-third of Xu Mu's total savings.

It was definitely a skill that required bloodshed!

During this time, he had also inquired about it. The reason why Body Refining cultivators were rare was because the consumption was too great, especially in the early stages. Since they couldn't directly absorb spiritual energy for replenishment, they mostly relied on spiritual medicines for improvement.

This kind of money-burning Body Refining cultivation path was not something that ordinary scattered cultivators could afford. Only the talented offspring of large families and forces had the resources and time to cultivate.

If he didn't know that it could improve his cultivation talent, Xu Mu might have given up as well.

"Rent, plus the consumption during this period, it's time to start making money after improving the Thunderbolt Sword Art!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, Xu Mu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and adjusted his state to its best.

He opened bottle after bottle of elixirs and took them.

The Luck value on the system also began to remain unchanged.

【Thunderbolt Sword Art +3】!

【Thunderbolt Sword Art +3】!

【Master of Thunder Swordsmanship; 3199/3200】!

As Xu Mu's Thunder Swordsmanship rapidly improves, his qi and blood become more abundant and condensed, and his spiritual energy is like billowing smoke, distorting the air around him.

The rich qi and blood continuously emanate from him, as if his entire body is emitting a red light.

Although Xu Mu sits there with his eyes closed, motionless, he gives off a tremendous sense of oppression.

It's as if he is not a person sitting there, but a gigantic savage beast.

Terrifying qi and blood are condensed within his small body.

With each breath he takes, the entire room seems to sway, his heartbeat steady and powerful, each beat like a rolling earth dragon, carrying an irresistible force.

At this moment, he has reached the peak of the Blood Exchange realm.

The blood in his body is as heavy as mercury, and just a drop can dye an entire pool red.

The energy contained in a drop of blood is more concentrated than a third-grade Yellow Dragon Pill.

If an ordinary person were to consume his flesh and blood, it would be similar to consuming a handful of high-grade elixirs.

He is now like a human-shaped elixir.

In fact, it's not just him. With the improvement of cultivation, the physical bodies of any cultivator have great value.

Humans hunt demonic beasts to consume their flesh and improve their cultivation, while demonic beasts hunt humans to consume their flesh and enhance their strength.

After adapting to the improvement of his body, he takes out two bottles of new elixirs.

Fourth-grade spiritual medicine - Grass Rejuvenation Pill!

This is an elixir that only Foundation Building stage cultivators would take.

Its effect is more than ten times that of a Yellow Dragon Pill!

Of course, the price is even more outrageous, with one bottle costing eight medium-grade spirit stones, more expensive than a third-grade high-quality magical weapon.

And he had to put in quite a bit of effort to buy them.

If it weren't for being near Yang City, he might not have been able to afford the spirit stones.

Also, because of buying the Grass Rejuvenation Pills, he learned some unfavorable news.

But it's not the time to talk about that for now.

He quickly swallows the entire bottle of Grass Rejuvenation Pills and adds a little to his Thunder Swordsmanship.

【Thunder Swordsmanship +1】!

【Transcendent Thunder Swordsmanship; 0/0】!

As the point allocation is completed, mysterious cracks suddenly appear all over his body, as if one after another, the originally closed windows suddenly loosen.

There are a total of 360 of these cracks, evenly distributed throughout his body, corresponding to the stars in the Great Circulation of Qi.

Boom!

The immense and almost unbearable qi and blood, like finding an outlet, begin to pour into these cracks madly.

In an instant, these suddenly appearing portals are completely opened.

Buzz!

The surrounding hundred zhang of heaven and earth seem to tremble slightly.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth, as if being summoned, slowly flies towards his body and merges into these opened portals.

The speed at which the spiritual energy merges becomes faster and faster, like a river flowing backward.

Fortunately, he had set up the Spirit Gathering Formation in advance, and coupled with the abundant spiritual energy in the area they are in, otherwise it would be impossible to form such a phenomenon.

The influx of spiritual energy and qi and blood merge into one, transforming into a completely new energy, and then flowing out to nourish himself.

Xu Mu quickly swallows another bottle of Grass Rejuvenation Pills, accelerating the changes in his body.

Gurgling!

Under the wash of this new energy, the flesh, bones, and meridians all over his body undergo various mystical changes.

His bones become like white jade, his muscles like colored glaze, emitting a faint light.

At this moment, he can truly be called golden muscles and jade bones! Transcendent and saintly!

The power throughout his body surges like a river, spiritual energy surrounds his fingertips, and he can easily pierce through the air, creating sonic booms.

Its power is greater than that of his previous full-force sword strike.

With each breath, spiritual energy merges into his body, rapidly replenishing his consumption, allowing him to maintain his peak state at all times.

His spirit is once again elevated, becoming extremely sharp, and all the emotions of everyone in the courtyard, their joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness, instantly reflect in his mind.

In this state, he can easily sense the malice of enemies, making it almost impossible for them to assassinate him.

Although this sense is not as extensive as divine sense perception, it undoubtedly has a greater effect in close combat.

"With my current physical condition, even without using light body technique, I'm afraid I can easily kill Foundation Building stage demonic beasts!"

In addition to the increase in strength, his lifespan has once again made a leap, far exceeding his expectations.

A child is about to be born. Let's come up with a name, everyone.
