“What a pity.”

……

Five days later.

Beiganzi Mountains in Luandu County.

Sun Ke stood in a dense forest, looking around nervously. His palms, which were holding the Stone of Absolute Destruction, were sweating.

This was the last piece of the Absolute Breath Stone in his hand. Once it was used up, it might be discovered by the black-skinned dog.

The Juexi Stone was of great help in these days of traveling around the neighboring county. With it, he even dared to go to crowded places in the county town.

But after feeling this sense of security, when the power of the Stone of Absolute Destruction was about to be exhausted, a sense of crisis far stronger than before arose, making him more and more anxious.

He waited for a full hour. The sun dyed the clouds in the west a fiery red. The Stone of Absolute Destruction in his hand completely cracked and became ineffective. Only then did a gray-clothed figure appear in front of him.

Sun Ke was startled, but when he saw who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally here.

If you don’t come soon, he will run away!

“Mr. Gongsun, I am glad to have accomplished my mission. All fifty bottles of Qigong pills have been sold out.” He respectfully handed over a black cloth bag.

He shook the bag, and the white jade inside jingled. He then used the Di Listening Technique to cover the surroundings, but he didn’t hear anyone ambushing within thirty miles. After extinguishing the five dragon qi in his palm, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this middleman will not need to be replaced for a long time to come.

“This is your reward.” Chen Mu raised his hand and threw a scroll and a jade bottle to Sun Ke.

“The scroll contains the secret records of embroidery techniques, and the blood in the jade bottle contains the energy of the ultimate divine power.”

“Once you master this secret method, you can actively isolate yourself. As long as you don’t get close to the City God Temple, you don’t have to worry about being searched by the Dragon Locking Courtyard.”

Sun Ke was overjoyed: “Thank you for your advice, sir!”

Chen Mu waved his hand calmly.

He didn’t know how many copies of this secret method he had passed on in Feng’an City. He only gave away one more copy. It was impossible for him to feel bad about it… Hmm…

“I also have a copy of the Dongji Changsheng Sutra here. Reciting it three times a day can prolong your life and avoid death.” Chen Mu said solemnly.

really?

Why do I feel like… there’s a trap here?

“Take it. Don’t forget to read it when you go back.” Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, with a kind look on his face.

Sun Ke was immediately shocked, bowed and took it, his face full of gratitude and tears: “Guest, I will not let you down, sir, for your generous gift. I will recite it a hundred times every day!”

Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

I just like your flexible face.

I don’t know whether the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed can be planted on living people. I’m afraid it is highly unlikely.

Fortunately, we are still bound by the Seven Brothers’ Heart-to-Heart Gu, so we can be considered our own people. As long as they don’t cause trouble for us like Lu Ku and the other seven brothers of Wushan did, it will be fine.

By the way, are those guys from Lu Ku and Shang Huan dead? Why is the Seven Sons of Unity Gu so vague? The seven forces pulling at me at the gates of hell, could they be the Seven Sons of Unity Gu from these people?

The sudden thought startled Chen Mu, and his face turned dark immediately.

Are those guys really the ones who made me a living god? Don’t let me find you!

Chen Mu came back to his senses and couldn’t help but glare at Sun Ke.

This guy has been infected with the Seven Hearts Gu by me. Will he cause me trouble like those seven bastards?

“Sir?” Sun Ke looked at Chen Mu’s changing expression, feeling uneasy, and asked carefully.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but laugh.

It is true that once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

It is obvious at first glance that Sun Ke is a timid and cautious person who is well versed in the ways of the world. He is nothing like the Seven Brothers of Wushan who do whatever they want without any taboos.

Shaking his head slightly, he took out a wooden box and handed it over.

“Come here once every half month. If you hand over the pills, I’ll give you 10% of the reward.”

“Also, in addition to selling pills, it would be best to collect some yellow sprout rice or the essence of grains.”

“Sir, can you make pills?” Sun Ke’s face was full of surprise.

With the ability to stop breathing to conceal his aura, and the expert in front of him who is constantly refining the fasting pills, he will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Good luck, good opportunity, this Mr. Gongsun is indeed a golden thigh!

Chen Mu nodded slightly, very satisfied with Sun Ke’s expression.

“This is a long-term business. Daqian is so dangerous, and safety must be the first priority.” He warned earnestly: “Don’t fish in a dry pond, you must keep the source continuous and make it last for a long time.”

Sun Ke nodded repeatedly in agreement.

……

Two days later, at the gate of the statue cave.

Most of the pitch-black Hunyuan furnace was embedded in the square table.

Steam was rising from the open mouth of the furnace, the broth inside was bubbling, and the meat chunks, mushrooms and tender vegetable leaves were rolling around.

Chen Mu walked to the door carrying a basket of green leafy vegetables that he had just picked and washed from the west wing.

The Yin spirit injected its divine power into the statue at the door, opening the water curtain outside the door.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the scene in front of the City God Temple outside emerged. There were people coming and going, and it was very lively. Somersaults, stilt walking, magic tricks, monkey shows and other programs were performed in turn.

Chen Mu ate the Danlu hotpot while watching with great interest.

Looking back over the past ten years, Chen Mu had been either practicing or cultivating. This was the first time he had seen something like the City God Temple Fair.

“Interesting.”

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 531 Progress

The lights are on, the night is dim, and the hustle and bustle outside the City God Temple has subsided.

In front of the gatehouse, the scene inside Yicui Tower in Luandu County occupies the center of the water curtain, where a group of girls in red and green gauze are dancing gracefully.

“What a pity. After all, it’s just a remote county. The girls are not bad looking, but the choreography and music are so lame.”

“Well… I don’t want to see it at all.”

An hour later, Chen Mu calmly turned off the screen of Yicui Tower, waved his hand and released the five ghosts to clean up the leftovers on the table, then turned around and walked back to the east courtyard of the City God Temple.

In the courtyard, next to the Jade Dew Well, Chen Mu took out a rocking chair, placed the exquisite jade plate on the edge of the well, stuffed a white jade coin into the center groove, and then he lay in the chair and looked at the sky.

In the dark and boundless night sky, countless bright stars are shining, clear and dazzling.

Even though he has been looking at it for more than ten years, he still never gets tired of looking at the night sky.

There was a trace of fluorescent light flowing on the exquisite jade plate, and the spiritual energy of the earth was emerging around it.

Feeling the faint joy radiating from his body inside out, Chen Mu felt a sense of relief as if he had met an old friend.

“After many years of twists and turns, I can finally practice Qi and cultivate immortality again.”

Before, he only had more than two hundred white jade coins in his hand, and even if he returned to the world of the living, he did not dare to practice.

Now Sun Ke has successfully sold the first batch of Bigu Pills. With the Absolute Breath ability to protect him, as long as Sun Ke is careful enough, he can exchange it for an endless supply of white jade money, so that he dares to start practicing Huangquan General Principles again.

As the thought came to mind, a gray wall appeared.

Huangquan General Principles: 9914/10000/Level ;

“The eighth level of the Divine Aperture Talisman will be completed today.”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu closed his eyes.

Inside the jade, a silver hollow sphere is suspended in the middle, and the seven layers of talismans inside are constantly rotating slowly and disorderly, like the bright moon in the sky, exuding a sense of eternity.

Along with Chen Mu’s thoughts, the mist-like magic power surged like a wave, rushing rapidly towards the hollow sphere.

Soon after, it blossomed in more places, quickly condensing and accumulating into intricate silver nets. As it continued to spread, fuse and expand, a new layer of divine talismans quickly emerged.

Time passed slowly, the night became darker, and a bright moon hung in the sky, casting a white light.

a moment.

hum!

Chen Mu’s muscles trembled, as if a wave rolled and spread under his skin. Cells rapidly divided and replaced each other, and in one breath, his whole body changed from the inside out.

The jade seed expanded outwards again, and it was already the size of a human head. In the middle, eight layers of divine orifice talismans nested together slowly rotated.

“Finally it’s done…” Chen Mu opened his eyes excitedly.

“How about… going to Yicui Tower in Luandu County to celebrate tomorrow?”

“Well, I mainly want to give Titi some advice on choreography and music. I don’t want to waste the sisters’ beautiful looks.”

……

The days passed by.

The sun is shining and the weather is warming up.

East of Jiangyang County, between the Nanlin Mountains, the snow melted, revealing patches of dry yellow ground.

puff!

A pair of black boots stepped into the muddy ground, sinking most of the way in and splashing mud and water.

Sun Ke shook off the mud on his feet and looked up at the towering snow-capped mountains not far away.

He got the news that the Yuanping Fufang personnel had rebuilt a stronghold that was secretive and safe and could exchange resources.

So he followed the guidance of the secret method, traveled through mountains and rivers for several days, and finally arrived deep in the Nanlin Mountains in Jiangyang County.

“The location you chose is really remote. Are you scared by the Dragon Locking Courtyard? Tsk…” Sun Ke, who was wearing a monkey face mask, curled his lips, lowered his head and glanced at the green strange bird pattern emitting a faint black light on the back of his left hand, and suddenly felt relieved.

He has successfully cultivated the breath-stopping magical power using the secret records of embroidery.
