Chapter 128:

"Don’t mix up my memories. I practice the orthodox Wudang Pure Yang Wuji Skill."

Qiao Mu shook his head and rested his body on the eaves of a house in the eastern part of the city for a while.

After calming down, he felt that he was running swiftly and attracting attention in the night.

After all, this is the Imperial Capital, where there are many skilled people, and the Immortal Gate dominates.

With a thought, he shifted his focus to the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" that he cared about the most.

The so-called "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" is just a prototype of the "Human Path Sutra."

This martial art, which is not yet perfected, naturally became one of Qiao Mu’s main martial arts in the past thirty years.

Thirty years have passed, and Qiao Mu’s "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" has directly reached the fifth level.

"Already on the fifth level? I remember even Hai Wuya, the founder of this martial art, only reached the fourth level. Although the fifth level has been deduced, it only exists in theory. Even Hai Wuya himself hasn’t reached this level."

Xumi Mountain King Sutra means accumulating earth to form a mountain and accumulating little by little.

This martial art doesn’t focus on internal strength, but specifically trains the physical body and blood. Hai Wuya, who comes from an external martial artist background, believes that the physical body and blood are the foundation of a martial artist.

Every time you go to a higher level, the time required doubles.

The first level takes two years of hard training, the second level takes four years, and the third level takes eight years.

Hai Wuya himself trained up to the fourth level, claiming it was equivalent to fifteen years of hard training… He spent thirty years in the heavenly prison, but it’s not considered full-hearted practice.

On the other hand, Qiao Mu trained for thirty years and instantly surpassed Hai Wuya, the founder of the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra," reaching theoretically fifth level.

Going further is the unknown territory that Hai Wuya hasn’t yet figured out.

And achieving thirty years of power in the fifth level of the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra"…

Qiao Mu clenched his fist and looked at his current face in the puddle under the moonlight in the alley.

At the age of ninety, Qiao Mu naturally looked much older than sixty.

From the outside, this old man looked thin and withered, with wrinkles all over his face. Whenever patrol soldiers saw him, they felt a sense of safety.

Of course, this face has also been adjusted to some extent through the Flesh Changing Skill.

"Has my vitality truly declined?" Qiao Mu clenched his fist, a strange thought coming to his mind.

One of the ideas in the book "Human Path Sutra" is to fight against aging and allow martial artists to maintain an increase in vitality even in old age.

Qiao Mu clenched his fist and then immediately relaxed it.

He knew very well that this ninety-year-old body was indeed much older than when he was sixty, and the wrinkles on his face were not fake.

But despite the age, Qiao Mu knew deep down that his current physical body was not weaker than when he was sixty, and it even seemed to have slightly increased in vitality.

"I may be old, but I have also become stronger. In a way, it’s like achieving the dream of Long Life Fist with endless vitality in a different manner."

Ninety years old and "ageless," this seemed to surpass the leader of the Qiao Family in Heyang City, right?

Qiao Zhong had this thought in his mind.

Qiao Canxue once praised the head of her own Heyang City’s Qiao Family, saying he was strong and healthy at the age of 80, and he was also the only master in the martial arts family of Heyang City’s Qiao Family who had reached the third level of the Stacking Wave Strength, the Triple Wave state. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In no time, Qiao Mu also reached this state, and even took a different approach, surpassing others by practicing the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra." After the age of 90, not only did his energy and blood not decline, but it also slightly increased.



From this perspective, the effectiveness of the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" is even stronger than Heyang City’s Qiao Family’s "Long Life Fist Sutra."

With this in mind, new information began to flow into his mind again.

Energy and blood: 70%.

"Does this mean that the aging process has caused my energy and blood to decline by 70% compared to my prime years? But thanks to the Xumi Mountain King Sutra, my energy and blood actually increased again?"

"Hai Wuya’s ‘Xumi Mountain King Sutra’ is not yet perfect. If I continue to practice and explore, the effect might become even stronger…"

"If the ‘Long Life Fist Sutra’ is a way to fight aging by conserving energy, then the ‘Xumi Mountain King Sutra’ is a way to enhance it."

This thought crossed Qiao Mu’s mind.

Compared to the continuous increase in physical vitality, the greater impact brought by the S-level Death Assessment is actually the improvement in martial arts and internal strength accumulation.

From the age of 60 to 90, Qiao Mu’s physical vitality has increased.

However, the increase in internal strength took a full thirty years of accumulation.

As for breakthroughs in martial arts, it goes without saying that any martial technique Qiao Mu has practiced has reached at least an intermediate or advanced level of mastery.

The physical bodies of martial artists may age, but internal strength and martial skills continue to improve with time.

Of course, if the physical body becomes too old and unable to move, even the deepest internal strength would be of no use.

At the age of ninety, his accumulation in strength and skill might already surpass his peers.

Qiao Mu demonstrated his lightness skill and continued traveling through the dark night, quickly arriving at the outskirts of the city.

Although the Imperial Capital is prosperous, the outskirts of the city are also filled with many poor people, empty houses, and barren land.

Qiao Mu arrived at a piece of barren land in the outskirts of the city, next to a graveyard.

"Under the crooked-neck tree that Gaoler Fang Yuan agreed upon, there is a hidden treasure of one hundred silver coins. It is the reward for teaching him martial arts. It is time to go and take it…"

After a simple search, Qiao Mu found the crooked-neck tree.

He effortlessly plucked a dogtail grass from the side of the road, held it in his hand, and infused it with strong internal energy. The grass instantly became as straight as a sword.

From the age of 18 to 90, Qiao Mu has been practicing martial arts, starting with advanced techniques like the "Long Life Fist Sutra" and "Pure Yang Wuji Skill." After nearly seventy years of accumulation, his internal strength has long surpassed the so-called 4th rank limit of human body conditioning.

At his current level, with the infusion of abundant internal energy, even plants and rocks can become swords. He is no longer dependent on external weapons.

Holding the grass in his hand, he thrust it into the ground, as if wielding a sword.

Astonishingly, the grass easily penetrated the earth like a sharp sword at that moment.

Qiao Mu used the grass in his hand as a makeshift shovel and started digging rapidly.

Before long, a blue little package appeared in the small hole, and inside were neatly stacked silver coins.



Qiao Mu counted carefully, but his eyebrows furrowed:

"This is 200 silver coins, not the agreed 100 silver coins, is it?"

While deep in thought, he heard a cat meowing from behind, along with a somewhat familiar voice of a young man.

"Are you a senior of the Qiao family?"

He turned around and saw the young Gaoler Fang Yuan, with the mischievous cat, looking at him eagerly.
