Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 246: Chapter 215 Injury_i

Jade Spirit Fruit!

Although this spirit fruit is high-ranking at tier five, the spiritual power it contains is extremely gentle. As long as the intake is controlled, even those at the Qi Cultivation Stage can withstand it.

At the same time, its effects are very comprehensive. It can be used to improve cultivation base, enhance physique, and even repair physical injuries, making it the most suitable for his current condition.

“It’s truly a cycle of cause and effect!”

Xu Mu sighed inwardly.

If he hadn’t entered the small space, he wouldn’t have been injured, and naturally, he wouldn’t have picked this special spirit fruit.

After confirming the effects of the spirit fruit, he immediately began closed-

door cultivation to recover.

With the help of the spirit fruit, Xu Mu’s cultivation base quickly recovered.

Qi Cultivation Third Layer!

Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer!

Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer!

Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer!

Foundation Establishment First Layer!

Foundation Establishment Second Layer!

One month passed quickly, and the flying boat reached the region of Tianhe

City, temporarily stopping at a place called Changhe Market.

They were waiting here for Chi Feiyan and Xu Xia. After they gathered, they would leave together.

Xu Mu’s physical body did not leave the spiritual boat, and was still cultivating in seclusion on it. Without his orders, no one else dared to disturb him.

“Still not working! Cough, cough!”

A stream of fresh blood spilled from the corner of Xu Mu’s mouth, and at the same time, faint sparks of electricity flickered on his body.

Xu Mu’s condition was due to forcibly practicing the Purple Lightning Body

Refinement Skill.

As for the reason—

In his Dantian, there was a vortex of spiritual power like a nebulous cloud. This was Xu Mu’s principal spiritual power. It should have been as pure as a red glow but was now entwined with strands of black Qi.

This black spiritual power was none other than the Demonic Qi Xu Mu had been contaminated with in the small space.

in the past few days, he had tried everything, but he couldn’t expel it.

His cultivation base had long been restored to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment, but because he was unable to get rid of the Demonic Qi, he couldn’t advance to the Golden Core Stage nor cultivate the Purple Lightning Body Refinement Skill.

Whenever he tried to cultivate, the Demonic Qi in his body would erupt, causing

internal injuries.

Xu Mu was frustrated but felt helpless.

He opened the system and checked his lifespan.

[Lifespan: 118/150].

Seeing that his lifespan had only increased by thirty years, Xu Mu couldn’t help

but sigh.

This time, his foundation had been damaged. No matter whether he could just recover to the late Foundation Establishment stage or even to the Golden Core Stage, complete recovery was impossible.

Xu Mu felt that it would be a good outcome if he could increase his lifespan to two hundred years.

But even this wish of living to two hundred years old was unachievable now.

That made him hate that woman, whose name he didn’t even know, even more.

“The most important thing for me to do now is to eliminate the Demonic Qi in my body, otherwise I won’t be able to do anything!

This was what Xu Mu needed to do next, and it was also the most urgent

matter.

Hum!

Xu Mu formed a finger gesture, gathered a large amount of water spiritual power, and formed a mirror in front of him. It reflected his current appearance.

His hair was full of white, his face covered with wrinkles, his whole body was filled with the aura of decay and deterioration.

Anyone could see that he wouldn’t live much longer.

The current situation was even worse than when he had just obtained the

system.

“As of now, the spatial passage is bound to be filled with Demonic Qi. If I rush back, I might run into the Old Ancestor of Tongyou. It’s impossible to return to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory to find a solution!

When the Demonic Qi erupts, Tianhe Sect might trace it back to me! So I can’t stay in Tianhe Sect and the two other nearby Nascent Soul Sects!” After thinking it over, the only solution to his physical condition could be the distant Central Region. There, sects were numerous, experts were as common as clouds, and solutions would be easier to find.

As for why he didn’t wait for the Demonic Qi to erupt before fleeing, so that Tianhe Sect wouldn’t suspect him, it was naturally because Xu Mu didn’t dare to gamble. He wasn’t willing to risk his and his family’s lives.

Moreover, by that time, considering the Xu family’s position in Tianhe Sect, they might be forced to go to the frontline, and by that time, it would be too late to run.

Putting these thoughts aside, Xu Mu took out his biggest gain from the small

space.

A massive halberd, nearly two meters long, made of what seemed like bronze!

Sky-splitting Halberd!

Resting his hand on the halberd, excitement flashed in Xu Mu’s eyes.

This was a weapon used by Immortals, even if damaged, it can’t be too bad.

If he could refine it, even if it only releases a tenth of its power, he should be able to easily defeat enemies of higher cultivation level.

“I hope you won’t let me down!”

Xu Mu released his Spiritual Fire to start refining the Sky-splitting Halberd, but

he had to stop after just three breaths.

All of his Spiritual Power was completely drained.

Xu Mu’s face took on an ugly expression.

This Sky-splitting Halberd was like a bottomless pit. His Spiritual Power, which was at the perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, only lasted a few breaths.

“It seems like I won’t be able to refine it in a short time!”

Xu Mu sighed, not knowing whether to feel happy or sad.

He was happy because the weapon was powerful but sad because he couldn’t

use it.

“Hmm? That’s right!”

A light bulb went off in Xu Mu’s head. It seemed like it was not entirely unusable.

He held on to the Sky-splitting Halberd and gently swung it. Immediately, an invisible Wind Blade appeared, leaving a crack on the Flying Boat filled with inscriptions.

Xu Mu was too shocked to utter a word. He hadn’t exerted much force, not to mention that his current body condition didn’t allow him to exert any.

He couldn’t help but imagine, what would happen if he still had his Body Refinement cultivation and hit someone with the Sky-splitting Halberd directly?

The thought excited him, but it was not feasible to experiment for the time being.

Hiding away the Sky-splitting Halberd, Xu Mu left the Flying Boat to meet his family.

Seeing Xu Mu’s current appearance brought tears to everyone’s eyes. They let him indulge for once on this rare night, and he ended up sprawled in a room.

The beauties were abundant, but alas, Xu Mu was unable.

He’s old! Out of steam!

Cough,cough!

Xu Mu didn’t stay much longer. After explaining the situation to his family and leaving behind a clone and sufficient resources for them to cultivate, he rushed to the Central Region alone.

Towing a family would certainly slow him down. Now with only thirty-two years left to live, any delay would slim down his chances of recovery. Therefore, Xu Mu could only depart alone and reach the Central Region first to find a way to resolve the Demonic Qi issue.

He could also be the vanguard for everyone else and make arrangements in advance.

To ensure foolproofness, in addition to the Sky-splitting Halberd, he also brought the White Fox puppet equivalent to the late Golden Pill stage.

The energy consumed by the original White Fox puppet in the small space has already been replenished. The replenishment method was simple: let the White Fox puppet consume Spirit Stones, but only high-grade Spirit Stones would suffice.

This point irked Xu Mu. The value of high-grade Spirit Stones was self-evident. Every usage felt like burning money.

He didn’t know what the original designer was thinking. Unfortunately, with his current puppetry skills, even if he wanted to change it, he couldn t.

If not for the excessive consumption of Spirit Stones, this White Fox puppet would have absolutely been his top fighter.

Not only was its attack power equivalent to the late Golden Pill stage, its defensive power was even considered invincible amongst the Golden Pill stage. Back when they were in the small space, Xu Mu attacked for a long time and didn’t manage to harm a single strand of its hair.

Two months later. A frightening wave of beasts started from the Cloud Peak Mountain Range and swept through the entire Liyang Sect and the original area of the Clear River Sword Sect. It continued to spread at an extremely fast rate.

It wasn’t until the Tianhe Sect sent out a large number of experts that it was contained.

The Liyang Sect was destroyed in this disaster, with only a small number of disciples surviving. Needless to say, the White River City couldn’t escape either.

One year later,

Central Region,

Tianyang City!

“Cough, cough! It’s still not working!”

Xu Mu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, couldn’t help but start coughing violently.

When he calmed down, he opened his hands to find a fair amount of blood on them.

Xu Mu sighed.

Several months had already passed since he came to the Central Region. During this period, he had been running around trying to find a solution to eradicate the Demonic Qi. After trying all sorts of methods, he still failed.

The reason he was coughing up blood was that he had just taken a pill named Fiery Flame Pill to drive out the Demonic Qi. Not only was it unsuccessful, but it also injured his organs.

After taking a healing pill to treat his injuries, Xu Mu calculated the time, left the inn, and headed to a place called Tianyang Mountain outside the city.

On Tianyang Mountain, there was a cultivation sect called Tianyang Palace.

They produced a kind of Spiritual Liquid called Pure Sun True Water. It was said to be able to drive away all Yin evil energy in the world. Xu Mu planned to buy some and give it a try. For this, he had been waiting in Tianyang City for almost half a month.

I hope this time, it won’t disappoint me again.
