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

Chapter 96: I'll Support You [Coming Tomorrow!]

"Luck is really good!"

Seven days later, Xu Mu, who had obtained a bottle of Blood Yang Pill and three pill formulas, boarded the Qingyu Boat and left Tianhe City, returning to Liyang Sect.

The pill was the seventh-grade Blood Yang Pill that Fairy Youlan had just successfully refined.

Using the thousand-year Blood Yang Flower as the main ingredient, it can quickly replenish the qi and blood consumed by cultivators, while also partially strengthening the physique.

This kind of pill, apart from Body Refining cultivators, is probably only favored by demonic cultivators.

If it is a demonic cultivator who cultivates blood-based techniques, then it is probably like obtaining a treasure.

The three pill formulas are the seventh-grade Blood Yang Pill, the seventh-grade Descending Dust Pill, and the sixth-grade True Yuan Pill.

There's no need to mention the Blood Yang Pill, it's practically a gift from Fairy Youlan.

The Descending Dust Pill is extremely rare and can increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul. It is basically unavailable on the market.

The True Yuan Pill can help Foundation Building cultivators break through bottlenecks and is also very precious.

For Xu Mu to obtain the pill formula for the Descending Dust Pill, it is indeed a big surprise.

"The effect of the Descending Dust Pill on Foundation Building cultivators is comparable to that of the Foundation Building Pill on Qi Refining cultivators. Although I am still far from forming a Nascent Soul, I can start collecting the medicinal materials now!"

The difficulty of collecting the medicinal materials for the Descending Dust Pill is far greater than that of the Foundation Building Pill. Even in the Cangming Sea, it is probably not that simple. Moreover, Xu Mu has great ambitions and wants to refine top-quality Descending Dust Pills, so the required medicinal materials are even more difficult to collect.

"Speaking of which, that Fairy Youlan is really not an ordinary person. She can casually produce the pill formula for the Descending Dust Pill!"

Originally, Xu Mu thought that the other party was from Tianhe Sect, but with the character of Tianhe Sect, they should not allow their subordinates to trade the pill formula for the Descending Dust Pill so casually.

And he also didn't inquire about a young sixth-grade female alchemist in Tianhe Sect.

"Could it be that she came from another Nascent Soul sect?"

Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed such a possibility. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't need to personally purchase the Blood Yang Flower, they could just buy it internally. After all, the entire auction house belongs to Tianhe Sect.

"Regardless of where she is from, it has nothing to do with me!"

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Xu Mu looked back.

The nine huge islands were still floating and sinking in the clouds, and the majestic Tianhe City lay prostrate on the ground, exuding an ancient aura, as if it would exist forever.

Not being able to enter Tianhe Sect for a visit was somewhat regrettable.

This time leaving, he didn't know when he would come back again.

As for that Fairy Youlan, whether he would be able to see her again in this lifetime is still unknown.

"In the city of Tianhe, spring days are long, and the wind blows, filling the air with the fragrance of orchids. Farewell to the beloved, seeking the path, the sky is high and the earth is wide, living freely!"

...

"Jin Lao, have you found out his background?"

Standing in front of the attic window, looking in the direction Xu Mu left, Fairy Youlan said lightly.

"He practices both body refining and cultivation techniques. His body refining technique is of the thunder attribute, and he has a soul sealed within him. His main cultivation technique is related to soul cultivation. He is less than a hundred years old."

The old man slightly bowed his body, his originally cloudy eyes now shining like stars.

"Less than a hundred years old, and he practices both body refining and cultivation techniques. Such a person, even in our realm, would be a core disciple of a major sect. I didn't expect that in this remote place, a dragon would emerge!" Fairy Youlan sighed.

The old man remained silent.

"Let's go! Let's go to the secluded sect and take a look. It's time for us to go back! It's been almost thirty years, I wonder if Father and Mother have missed me!"

Before the words fell, the figures of the two disappeared like smoke on the spot.

...

In the distance, the volcano where the Liyang Sect was located continued to spew smoke, and streams of light formed by cultivators rose from it and flew into the distance.

At the same time, streams of light continued to arrive, landing within the sect.

After a three-day journey, Xu Mu landed his flying boat in a place more than ten miles away from the city and walked towards the city on foot.

The city was still bustling, with a constant flow of people coming and going, and there had been no changes due to his brief absence.

With the disappearance of the ghost cultivator threat, the city had gradually returned to its former prosperity.

"Is there anyone willing to go to the Yinsnow District of the Qinghe Sword Sect for development? Regardless of cultivation level, as long as you are willing, there will be a reward of one low-grade spirit stone every day!"

"Is there anyone willing to go to the Morning Star District? Not only can you receive one low-grade spirit stone every day, but there will also be free Qi Gathering Pills for everyone!"

"Anyone willing to come to Qinghe City! Three years of rent exemption for everyone, and the spiritual veins will be open for everyone to use for free!"

On an empty space near the city gate, a large number of cultivators gathered, many of them wearing the robes of the Liyang Sect, shouting loudly.

Xu Mu went over to take a look and found that they were all recruiting cultivators for development.

According to the information he obtained from Hou Quan, the original Qinghe Sword Sect had already been completely handed over to the Liyang Sect, and the various districts had long been divided among the Foundation Building elders of the sect.

Now, the major Foundation Building families had begun to move one after another, heading to the districts assigned to them.

However, due to the ravages of the Soul Refining Sect, it was estimated that only a few cats remained in the original districts.

In order to establish a foothold and quickly gain profits, these families had to recruit new people to develop the land.

Apart from Liyang City, all the major districts belonging to the Liyang Sect had many families recruiting teams there.

For the lower-level cultivators, this was indeed a rare opportunity.

The newly developed Fangshi market is vast and sparsely populated, making it much easier to obtain resources compared to places like Liyangzong.

Of course, opportunities often come with dangers, and no one knows whether one will end up dying in a foreign land or returning home in glory.

"I wonder how Baihe Fangshi market is doing now? How many old acquaintances are still alive? And which family has gained control?"

Xu Mu suddenly felt an urge to go back and take a look.

But it was quickly suppressed.

Based on the information he had previously gathered, the entire Qinghe Sword Sect should have been massacred by the Soul Refining Sect, and Baihe Fangshi market was unlikely to have been spared. It might have already become a ruin, and whether there were any survivors was unknown.

With a bitter smile in his heart, Xu Mu continued walking towards the city.

After taking a few steps, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.

"Miss Si?"

"Hmm?"

Si Tan'er, who was frowning, paused for a moment and looked towards the direction where the voice came from with her crimson pupils.

"Who are you?"

Blinking her beautiful eyes a few times, Si Tan'er suddenly remembered.

"Senior Xu?!"

"Long time no see. What are you doing here?" Xu Mu smiled.

"I'm planning to leave Liyang City and come here to see if there's a suitable place!"

Si Tan'er's pretty face revealed a hint of frustration.

"Leave? Why?" Xu Mu was somewhat puzzled.

With her talent and her grandfather's help in providing resources, she should have stayed in the city to cultivate honestly.

"My grandfather passed away, and the house in the city has been mortgaged! If I don't find another place, I won't have enough to eat!"

Si Tan'er sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Si passed away?"

"Yes."

"Why did it happen so quickly?" Xu Mu showed a puzzled expression.

The last time he ran around the city buying Yellow Dragon Pills, he accidentally met Si Tan'er's grandfather, Si Xuanjing, who seemed energetic and should have no problem living for another ten or eight years.

And with Si Xuanjing's character, he should have accumulated a considerable fortune, enough to let Si Tan'er keep her house.

"Well... it's all because of that damn Foundation Building Pill!"

Si Tan'er gritted her teeth, full of resentment.

"..."

Xu Mu was speechless.

Could it be...

According to what he heard from Si Tan'er, because a large number of Foundation Building Pills appeared in the city, those who were already old and had completely given up on Foundation Building suddenly had the idea to try it again.

He didn't know if it was a rumor deliberately spread by Chi Feiyan or if it was true, but it was said that someone broke through Foundation Building at the age of a hundred and lived a second life.

Stimulated by the prospect of a group of cultivators nearing their lifespan, one by one they sold everything they had to buy a Foundation Building Pill, hoping to make a final attempt before they died.

According to normal probability calculations, even if someone over a hundred years old in the late Qi Refining stage took a medium-grade Foundation Building Pill, the success rate would be less than one in a thousand, no different from seeking death.

But when it came to that point, how many cultivators could resist the temptation, even if they knew it was a waste of resources?

In the past, they couldn't buy it even if they wanted to, and now not only could they buy it, but it was also a medium-grade pill. Who wouldn't be tempted?

After all, taking one step forward would give them another hundred years of life. Even if they failed, they would already be dead, so what use was there in keeping spiritual stones?

As for their descendants?

They would have their own blessings!

And Si Tan'er was clearly one of the victims.

"Miss Si, I remember you're not particularly skilled in combat or alchemy, well, not very good at all!"

To put it bluntly, apart from her cultivation level, she was useless in other aspects.

But this couldn't be blamed on Si Tan'er. Most independent cultivators who aspired to Foundation Building would usually give up on skills like spells and alchemy in the early stages in order to speed up their cultivation progress.

It was the same with Leng Yue Ning back then.

"I know that, but I have no other choice!"

Si Tan'er sighed again, her crimson eyes filled with helplessness.

"If you really have no other choice, then why not marry me? I'll take care of you!"
