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

Chapter 69: Deer Spirit Technique

Two hundred and seventy high-grade spirit stones!

Nineteen sets of third-grade fine robes!

Seven bottles of elixirs!

Five spiritual talismans!

Three flying swords!

One jade slip!

One identity token of the Liyang Sect!

One frozen body!

These are all the things in Luo Lie's storage bag.

No need to mention the spirit stones, they are almost catching up to Xu Mu's highest savings.

Nineteen sets of third-grade robes, when converted, are worth over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

All seven bottles of elixirs are fourth-grade spirit pills.

Two bottles of replenishing vital energy grass pill, three bottles of cultivation-enhancing foundation pill, one bottle of healing internal injuries pulse-protecting pill, one bottle of healing external injuries blood lotus pill.

These pills are common spirit pills. Although Xu Mu has mostly seen them for the first time, as an alchemist, it is not a problem to identify them.

Although the pills are common, they are not cheap at all.

No need to mention the grass pill, one bottle costs one high-grade spirit stone.

The foundation pill can enhance cultivation and is expensive. Depending on the quality, the price of one bottle ranges from three to eight high-grade spirit stones.

The pulse-protecting pill is more expensive than the previous two. It is a life-saving pill, and depending on the quality, the price ranges from ten to thirty high-grade spirit stones.

The blood lotus pill is slightly cheaper, and depending on the quality, the price ranges from three to seven high-grade spirit stones.

These pills combined are worth at least twenty to thirty high-grade spirit stones, equivalent to Xu Mu's monthly income.

If Xu Mu doesn't stop for a month, he can refine twenty to thirty bottles of Profound Origin Pills, selling each bottle for ninety low-grade spirit stones, deducting the cost of eighteen high-grade spirit stones.

"With these pills, advancing to the eighth level of Qi Refining will be much faster!"

Five talismans, all fourth-grade spiritual talismans, are also worth a lot of spirit stones.

But the most precious are the three flying swords!

All of them are fourth-grade spirit swords!

It's a pity that there are no sealed souls inside!

They can be considered pseudo fourth-grade!

Although that's the case, their value is still not cheap. Three spirit swords can sell for at least three to four hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Unfortunately, Xu Mu doesn't have the courage to sell them for now.

Not only the spirit swords, but he also dares not sell the robes.

The lesson from the last time he sold things is still fresh in his mind.

Either keep them for personal use or secretly sell them to the demonic sect.

He will never be greedy for convenience again!

As for the remaining identity tokens, they are not valuable, just a form of identification, and the material used to make them is ordinary mysterious iron.

The frozen body is that of a middle-aged woman, who has long been dead, with the words "Beloved Wife - Han Qingshuang" engraved on it.

The identity is self-evident.

Carrying his wife's body every day, reminiscing about the Qingfrost Sword among the three swords, Luo Lie can be considered a sentimental person.

Xu Mu sympathetically helped him cremate her, letting the two of them reunite in heaven and earth, never to be separated.

In addition to Luo Lie's storage bag, Xu Mu also obtained the storage bags of some important members of the Luo family.

Inside these storage bags, apart from the robes and magical tools that cannot be sold temporarily, there are two hundred and ten high-grade spirit stones, over a hundred bottles of second and third-grade elixirs, nearly a thousand talismans, and various other miscellaneous items piled up like a small mountain.

In any case, Xu Mu made a fortune this time.

But considering that he basically robbed a Foundation Building family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, such gains are not surprising.

"A whole year of hard work is not as good as a windfall! How can one not be tempted by this!" Xu Mu sighed.

No wonder robbing cultivators is rampant. Wealth truly moves people's hearts!

"Unfortunately, there are no Foundation Building pills! It seems that the information Chi Feiyan obtained is not completely accurate!"

Although he felt a bit regretful, Xu Mu didn't dwell on it too much.

The purpose of this operation has been achieved, and the gains are already substantial!

However, while resolving the crisis and gaining huge profits, he also has to face even greater dangers.

"I wonder how the Liyang Sect will handle this matter?"

A family responsible for managing the market being annihilated, if the Liyang Sect turns a blind eye, their destruction is not far off.

So the Liyang Sect will definitely investigate, but how far they can investigate is not something Xu Mu can know.

This suddenly reminded him of a saying from his past life.

"To make up for one mistake, often requires making another mistake!"

His current situation perfectly fits this saying.

But there are some things that you have to do even if you know they will bring bigger troubles.

Fortunately, he was very careful this time. Every step was carefully considered, including his fake identity when coming and going. He never revealed his true appearance during the process.

In addition, he has a huge advantage.

That is his cultivation!

No one in the Liyang Sect would ever dream that the person who annihilated the Luo family would be a Qi Refining cultivator.

All the witnesses were completely crushed and turned to ashes!

Even if they were aware of Xu Mu's cultivation, they would only think that he was disguised and not believe that he was truly at the Qi Refining stage.

With all these circumstances, if he were to be traced, he could only consider himself unlucky.

"But in any case, I need to leave myself a way out and still buy a ticket to another sect!"

In the past, it was difficult to make ends meet, and buying tickets was still a struggle. But now, with so many spirit stones, as long as I'm willing to spend money, it shouldn't be a problem to buy a ticket in the short term.

"I also need to further improve my strength!"

Regardless of the situation, having strength is the best reliance. If he had the strength of the Gold Core stage, even if he openly destroyed the Luo family, the Liyang Sect would only help cover it up and not cause trouble for him.

As for the contract with the medicine shop.

Just refine a few bottles casually to get by.

He is not lacking spirit stones now, what he lacks is a method to quickly spend spirit stones to improve his strength.

The first step to improvement -

Refine the cultivation technique!

Xu Mu picked up the jade slip he obtained from Luo Lie's storage bag.

Ordinary jade slips are usually made with ordinary spirit jade, appearing smooth and warm, emitting a faint spiritual light.

This jade slip in front of him, with its restrained spiritual light, crystal clear and translucent, looks more like a crystal, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.

At the first glance of this jade slip, he had some guesses, but whether they were correct or not, he would have to try it out to know for sure.

Xu Mu stuck it to his forehead and began to read the information within with his spiritual consciousness.

As his consciousness infiltrated, segments of information flooded into his mind, engraved in his memory.

It took a long time for him to finish receiving it.

Unlike the spell jade slips he had used before, after Xu Mu finished reading the information within, the jade slip did not shatter!

"Just as I suspected, this is indeed an inheritance jade slip, and it is a rare cultivation technique inheritance jade slip!"

The difference between an inheritance jade slip and an ordinary jade slip is that an ordinary jade slip can only be used once, while an inheritance jade slip can be used multiple times.

The cultivation technique within the jade slip, as expected, was the Luo family's inherited cultivation technique -

Deer Spirit Art!

This is a top-notch cultivation technique that can be used from the Qi Refining stage all the way to the completion of the Gold Core stage.

This level of cultivation technique is difficult to buy even if Xu Mu has money.

Under normal circumstances, Qi Refining stage cultivation techniques are common and can easily be found without spending spirit stones.

But when it comes to Foundation Building stage cultivation techniques, they can only be obtained by joining a faction or through auctions and similar places.

Ordinary people cannot come into contact with them, nor is it necessary, because they simply cannot cultivate to the Foundation Building stage.

Gold Core stage cultivation techniques already belong to the level of sect-level techniques, usually only large forces like the Liyang Sect have complete inheritances, and for ordinary independent cultivators to obtain them, it requires a huge price.

The Luo family, with such a Foundation Building lineage, either had a glorious past or had incredibly good luck to inherit the legacy of a Gold Core ancestor.

For the Luo family to protect this inheritance, either no one knows the level of this cultivation method, or they have a powerful backing, or this cultivation method is not worth being snatched away.

After Xu Mu read through the cultivation method, he felt that the last reason was the most likely.

Because the difficulty of cultivating this method is extremely high, and it has many drawbacks, it is simply not worth it for a Gold Core power to snatch it. At most, they would make a copy and store it in the library to increase the knowledge of their disciples.

According to the introduction of the cultivation method, it is not difficult to practice the Deer Spirit Technique at the entry level. The real difficulty begins when reaching the Qi Refining stage and preparing for the Foundation Building stage.

Those who cultivate the Deer Spirit Technique must refine the soul of a demonic beast before Foundation Building, and make it their own spirit animal soul, in order to proceed with Foundation Building.

The founder of the Deer Spirit Technique was a nine-colored deer from the Integrated Union, which is how the technique got its name.

Demonic beasts can only condense their souls at the Foundation Building stage.

The gap between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Building stage is huge. It is already difficult to use the cultivation level of the Qi Refining stage to refine the soul of a Foundation Building stage demonic beast.

And it gets even more difficult.

With the integration of the spirit animal soul, from then on, every time a cultivator of the Deer Spirit Technique advances their cultivation, they must first advance their spirit animal soul.

Without advancing the spirit animal soul, no matter how many elixirs they consume, it would be useless.

And to advance the spirit animal soul, not only do they need to devour soul power, but they must also advance their cultivation method.

If the cultivation method realm is not reached, the speed of advancing the spirit animal soul will also be frustrating.

It's like one ring nested within another!

Advancing the cultivation method drives the advancement of the spirit animal soul, and the advancement of the spirit animal soul drives the advancement of cultivation.

Conversely, if the cultivation method slows down the spirit animal soul, the spirit animal soul slows down cultivation.

In other words, this cultivation method not only requires resources but also requires a powerful comprehension.

For hundreds of years, the Luo family has possessed this cultivation method, but they haven't produced any remarkable individuals.

The Qinghe Sword Sect must have also attempted it, but this cultivation method still remains in the hands of the Luo family.

From these two points, it can be seen how demanding this cultivation method is in terms of comprehension.

Xu Mu found a new cultivation manual in the storage bag of Luo Huan, the head of the Luo family. It was the Qinghe Sword Sect's Qinghe Sword Manual.

This made Xu Mu couldn't help but speculate whether the Luo family had already given up on this cultivation method.

Unfortunately, the Qinghe Sword Manual only goes up to the Foundation Building stage, and its characteristics are too obvious. If cultivated, it would be easily discovered.

"For others, this cultivation method is nothing but a pit, but for me, isn't it tailor-made?"

No matter how strong one's comprehension is, they may still get stuck at a certain bottleneck.

But for Xu Mu, as long as there is Luck value, he can break through.

The most important thing is that after the cultivation realm of the Deer Spirit Technique is advanced, it can in turn accelerate the progress of cultivation. In this way, the returns from investing Luck value into the Deer Spirit Technique far exceed those of other cultivation methods.

Moreover, the power of the Deer Spirit Technique is not weak. With its own spirit animal soul, it can not only be used for attack but also for defense. The higher the realm, the stronger the power, and it can also use the spirit animal soul to perform various miraculous techniques.

For example, devouring souls and obtaining fragments of memories!
