Longevity starts with learning

Chu Mu was somewhat puzzled. According to what he had seen and heard during this period, Nanshan Town was a truly remote and poor place.

The nearest market town was thousands of miles away. Judging from the layout of the market town, it was basically unlikely that a cultivator would pass through Nanshan Town.

Moreover, even if a cultivator passed through Nanshan Town and happened to discover Li Caiyi's existence, why would he help Li Caiyi for no reason?

He gave her a technique, led her into the world of cultivation, and then gave her elixirs and spirit stones...

A kind person?

Or did he have other intentions?

"What does that woman look like?"

Chu Mu asked, and as he spoke, he handed over a jade slip, indicating that Li Caiyi should record the appearance of the female cultivator.

After a moment, Li Caiyi handed over the jade slip obediently.

In the jade slip, a figure was also reflected in the divine sense.

The woman had a single ponytail, a cold face, and a tight outfit, which showed her neatness.

The face was unfamiliar, and he didn't recognize it. According to Li Caiyi, this woman's cultivation seemed to be perfect in Qi training.

But obviously, it is not ruled out that the face and cultivation are concealed.

After all, Li Caiyi first came into contact with the world of immortal cultivation, and lacked knowledge, so it was easy to conceal it.

Putting down the jade slip, Chu Mu didn't get too entangled. He looked at Li Caiyi in front of him again.

Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, immortal cultivators are almost equivalent to eternal youth unless they deliberately adapt their bodies to the years, or practice some special skills, and are injured.

Decades of time did not seem to leave too many traces on Li Caiyi in front of him.

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Miss Caiyi, what are your qualifications?"

Li Caiyi pinched the corners of her clothes tightly and said carefully: "Three spiritual roots, six points of water attribute."

Chu Mu nodded, his eyes moved, and looked outside the door. The owner of the restaurant was still waiting respectfully outside the compartment.

He suddenly changed the subject: "Why did the immortal cultivator bother you today?"

"He...he wanted to take me as his concubine, and I have refused many times..."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked again: "I think that man's cultivation is pretty good. Miss Caiyi, you are alone in the immortal world, without anyone to rely on, why did you refuse?"

"My personality is not suitable for cultivation, and I dare not have too many delusions. I had been ready to return to the secular world and spend the rest of my life, but last year, the Ji Family Castle had such a big change, and I was alone and couldn't leave..."

Hearing this explanation, Chu Mu was also stunned.

In the past, he had seen that all the immortal cultivators were wasting their time in the immortal world. Even if there was little hope, they still struggled hard and were unwilling to give up any hope.

Even if their life span was short and their immortal path was completely cut off, more people would not return to the secular world, but marry wives and concubines, and pin their hopes from themselves to their descendants.

It was the first time he heard that someone felt unsuitable for cultivation after coming into contact with the world of immortal cultivation and wanted to return to the secular world on their own initiative...

But...

He looked at Li Caiyi in front of him, and this time, he looked at her very seriously.

The woman in front of him had the weak character in his memory...

Moreover, after so many years, she remained the same, without much change. On the contrary, she became more timid because of the dangers lurking in the world of immortal cultivation.

With such a character, it seems...she is really completely unsuitable to survive in this world of immortal cultivation.

Chu Mu asked: "After seeing the world of immortal cultivation, can you be willing to return to the secular world?"

Her face darkened, she nodded silently, and then shook her head.

Chu Mu exhaled lightly, feeling inexplicably depressed. He took out a storage talisman and placed several bottles of elixirs that were no longer useful to him and some spirit stones in it.

After handing the storage talisman to the table in front of Li Caiyi, he took out a sound transmission talisman and said slowly: "Chu will stay in Jijiabao for several months. If Miss Caiyi decides to return to the secular world, when Chu leaves, he can take Miss Caiyi with him."

After the voice fell, he stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the compartment.

"Miss Caiyi, you are an old friend of Chu."

He stopped in front of the door and looked at the restaurant owner who was waiting respectfully beside him, with a flat voice.

"Don't worry, senior, I understand, I understand."

The restaurant owner nodded repeatedly and bowed in response.

Chu Mu nodded, looked back at the figure in the compartment, took a deep breath, and then strode away.

In the compartment, the woman held two talismans, obviously in a trance. After a while, she seemed to react and turned her head to look outside the door. What caught her eye was just a back figure that disappeared quickly.

Chu Mu did not stop after walking out of the restaurant. Meeting an old friend who had once had an idea with him might give him a slightly different feeling.

But it was just a little feeling.

Compared with this long immortal journey, reality is very cruel.

Even if we don’t talk about the gap in realm, with the current situation in the immortal cultivation world, he can’t go around with a burden.

Any enemy or danger he faces is not something that a cultivator in the Qi training realm can resist.

Of course, perhaps the most important thing is that his feelings are not enough to make him pay too much.

When he went to the house rental place in the market, he did not show the employment contract order of the Righteous Alliance, but rented a cave as a single person.

The cave is located on the mountainside. It is not the layout of the house in other market towns in the past, but a cave in the belly of the mountain.

The overall structure of the cave is not much different from that of an ordinary house cave.

After opening the cave with a forbidden token and checking the inside and outside of the cave in detail, Chu Mu walked into the quiet room of the cave.

He sat cross-legged and probed his spiritual sense into the storage ring to check the items inside.

After a while, he waved his sleeves, and dozens of jade boxes appeared in front of him.

Then, he took out several jade slips. He flipped through them for a long time before looking at the jade boxes in front of him again, slightly thoughtful.

In that Jingmen Incident, he gained little, but the loss was undoubtedly heavy.

Not to mention his own injuries, his skills were almost wasted in order to resist the terrifying spiritual energy wave at that time.

Now that his injuries have healed, the situation in the world of immortal cultivation is so confusing...

Obviously, restoring the strength of his skills in time is the current priority.

And the previous puppets, whether it is the wolf puppet or the guard puppet, have all shown good effects.

But...

Chu Mu carefully recalled every fight after refining the puppet, and looked at the jade slip from time to time, modifying the puppet formula in the jade slip.

There is no doubt that every previous fight has clearly proved a fact,

that is, these two types of puppets are just icing on the cake for him.

Without puppets, it would not be difficult for him to defeat the enemy and win with his own means, such as sword intent, Great Sun True Fire, and even the strength of his body.

Puppet is just icing on the cake. When he really encounters a desperate situation, such as the spiritual energy wave that time, the role of puppets... is minimal.

Under such a reality, he seems to need to change his thinking accordingly.

Chu Mu carefully thought about himself, his cultivation, means, flaws, advantages...

His advantages are obvious.

In the past, the practice of Taigang Sword Art, which could only be a trump card of sword intent, has now become an extremely good and commonly used means.

Great Sun True Fire is also quite terrifying. After the Jingmen Incident that day, he was surrounded and killed by several foundation-building masters. A touch of Great Sun True Fire directly killed two foundation-building masters. Under the burning, even the flesh and soul were burned to ashes.

And under the influence of the Great Sun Sutra and sword intent, his flesh is strong, and his magic power and consciousness are far from the cultivators of the same realm.

In a one-on-one fight, even without external help, he is not inferior to any cultivator of the same realm.

And his flaws are also very obvious.

Since the exposure of his skills as a weapon refiner and puppeteer, coupled with the repeated fights in Jingmen, almost everyone who knows him knows that he is powerful and has a rich family background.

Under such circumstances, when he fights with others, either they are directly afraid of him and cannot fight at all, or they are directly crushed.

Or, he is beaten by a group of people...

It is very helpless, but it is a very clear fact.

His portrait and soul aura have long been circulated throughout the Da Chu cultivation world as the Changsheng Sect's wanted list has been increased again and again.

There will be people in the Changsheng Sect who are spying on him, and there will definitely be people in the Zhengdao League who are spying on him. There will definitely be more casual cultivators who are spying on him.

And his methods, except for the rarely exposed Great Sun True Fire and the knife accident, are almost all known to outsiders.

If he had not used the power of the Righteous Alliance to weave a network of people that was extremely beneficial to him when he was in Jingmen, his situation would probably have been extremely difficult.

Under such circumstances, his current situation is really not very good, and can even be said to be a dilemma.

He does not need the icing on the cake, but enough life-saving trump cards!

Chu Mu raised his hand and waved it, and all the jade boxes in front of him were opened.

Many spiritual materials were also presented in front of him.

There was the corpse of the mysterious hairtail fish, and there was also the preserved head of the two-headed giant snake.

More, there were many spiritual materials he collected for other cultivators to refine weapons in Jingmen.

They were all extremely rare, and there were many third-level spiritual materials. He even had treasures such as the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Jade and the Fiery Sun Fire Essence.

But with his cultivation and current level of refining, it was obviously impossible for him to fully utilize the spiritual materials of too high a level.

Just like the Fiery Sun Fire Essence, he is not even qualified to smelt it now, let alone anything else.

While thinking, he turned his head to look at Wangcai lying on the side.

After the blood transplant, Wangcai has shrunk several times. With such a body, a set of perfectly fitting armor can be refined for him.

The blood of Wolverine is already very good, and with the blessing of the armor, it must be even more powerful.

And he himself...

He looked down at the Minghong Sword placed aside, which has been condensed into a top-grade spiritual weapon. For him, it is the strongest weapon at present.

Even if he can refine a magic weapon above the top-grade spiritual weapon, with his cultivation, it is impossible to drive the magic weapon, let alone exert the power of the magic weapon.

And his fighting habit has always been to like to fight with the sword in the flesh and in a close combat.

Now that he has practiced the Taigang Sword Art, he has become more and more adept at using the sword intent.

So... the preparation of a life-saving trump card...

Chu Mu seemed to be thinking about something, and he had a rough idea in his mind...

...
