Chapter 102: Chapter 91: Foundation Establishment Third Layer_l
Time flies like a river.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
In the Cang Ming Ocean Territory, there were no seasons. It’s only when Xu Mu returned to the Liyang Sect to sell the Foundation Establishment Pill that he realized the passage of time.
In the cultivation room, Xu Mu closed his eyes, circulating his spiritual power that was rapidly rotating inside his body.
The next moment, with a boom!
A certain checkpoint within his body seemed to have been abruptly opened, his spiritual power quickly expanded a small circle, and after nine cycles, it returned to his Dantian.
Finally reached the third level of Foundation Establishment! It was worth it to upgrade my Crimson Spirit Jue to Grandmaster level!”
In order to speed up his cultivation progress, Xu Mu invested all his accumulated Luck Value from the first half of the year into his main martial method, the Crimson Spirit Jue, and upgraded it to Grandmaster level in one shot.
The Grandmaster-level martial method, combined with the constant supply of pills, made Xu Mu’s cultivation speed extraordinarily fast.
It was simply unbelievable to others that he had advanced two levels in just a year.
Furthermore, upon reaching the Grandmaster level of his martial method, he regained the ability to purify his spiritual power. Although he was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment, the quantity and quality of his actual spiritual power were higher than those of ordinary cultivators at the fifth or sixth levels.
His strength had taken a great leap forward.
His attribute panel at this time was:

[Luck Value: 18471]
In a year’s time, aside from his cultivation and martial method, Xu Mu has made considerable progress in various areas.
His lifespan broke through the 300-year limit due to the Heavenly Purple Thunder Body and the improvement of his cultivation.
Apart from that, the most significant progress came from his Divine Skills.
The progress was mainly because of the upgrade of the Crimson Spirit Jue, which had a knock-on effect.
Most of these Divine Skills rely on the raven beast soul, and the improvement of the raven beast soul relies on the Crimson Spirit Jue.
With the Grandmaster-level Crimson Spirit Jue, it was like the raven beast soul had hit the accelerator, not only did it drive the improvement of various Divine Skills, but it also propelled his cultivation progress.
Otherwise, no matter how many pills Xu Mu consumed, it would be difficult for him to reach the third level of Foundation Establishment. After all, the foundation is crucial.
Besides his own progress, the people at home had also made leaps in their cultivation progress. Ye Yingying had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, Leng Yuening had broken through to the seventh level, and Lan Shijin had broken through to the eighth level. Their progress was almost as fast as Xu Mu’s was in the past.
Considering that they live in the Spirit Gathering Array every day and there’s never a shortage of tier four spirit pills, this speed of progress was not surprising.
If it weren’t for Xu Mu’s intention for them to build a solid foundation, their progress might have been even faster.
Also, in order for the three women to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, every time after they made love, Xu Mu would leave the fluid in the back passage.
It was for this reason that he had not achieved any new accomplishments over the past year.
Regarding Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren, the two had long given up cultivation. One was raising beasts all day, and the other was tending to flowers. They were enjoying themselves.
Zhang Yu also began to cultivate, but his age was still too young, he was still in the initial stages of foundation building.
As for the four little ones, they all grew up healthily and vigorously. Only Little Ling’er became naughtier and was being disciplined by the three women every day.
The little white wolf had grown taller than an adult. Because it had no cultivation bottleneck and Xu Mu generously supplied it with pills, its strength had reached the level of a tier three monster beast. It might be the first one among them to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, although it progressed fast in the early stages, its bloodline limitation would restrict it in the latter stages, and it might be unable to break through to tier four for life. Its potential was incomparable to the others’.
It could be said that it rose and fell due to its bloodline.
For the two maids, Xu Mu was not stingy and sponsored them with a considerable amount of pills. They had all advanced to the second level of Qi Cultivation.
By the way, there’s also Su Luan!
Has anyone bullied you in the dojo recently?
No! I have already reached the third level of Qi Cultivation, and with the magic artifact given by my senior, anyone who dares to bully me, I will crush their head!”
Little Su Luan gritted her tiny white teeth, clenched her tiny, rosy fists. Her face was threatening in a “ferocious” manner.
Remember, only I can bully you in the future, understand?
Yes! Luan’er likes being bullied by her senior!
After tidying up, Xu Mu left Su Luan’s residence and headed towards the Star Pavilion in the southern part of the city.
Xu Mu did not tell Su Luan his real identity, nor did he let her live with Ye Yingying.
As the saying goes, don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.
My dear friend Mu Yu, long time no see!”
Not long after being led into the back hall by a Star Pavilion servant girl, Wen Ruo Yu walked in with a smile.
Xu Mu joined the Four Seas Immortal Palace and moved around the city using the identity “Mu Yu.”
He only used his real identity and appearance when he was at home.
Now, Ye Yingying and rhe others rent houses, and Lan Shijin is in charge of receiving visitors. Xu Mu only shows up when necessary.
After exchanging a few words with Wen Ruo Yu, Xu Mu directly stated his intention.
I wonder how the items I asked my friend to purchase are coming along?
“Well…
Wen Ruo Yu revealed an awkward expression.
My friend Wen, feel free to speak!
To tell the truth, the pills and talismans are tine, and I have already notified our headquarters to prepare a batch. They can be delivered in a few days. As for the dual-attributed Spirit Sword of fire and thunder at tier six, it is indeed difficult to find at the moment,” Wen Ruo Yu said with a wry smile.
Although he really wanted to make money from the Spirit Stones in Xu Mu’s hands, he was indeed powerless.
Whether it’s magic artifacts, pills, or talismans, the higher the tier, the rarer they are. After all, there are limited high-tier cultivators, and they are all busy cultivating. Their output is incomparable to that of the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Now Xu Mu is just buying a tier six spiritual artifact. If it is a treasure above the seventh tier and also wants to fit his own way, it is even more difficult. He can either collect materials for self-refinement, ask others to refine it, or just rely on luck.
I understand! As for the pills and talismans, my friend, please have them delivered as soon as possible!”
Although a bit disappointed with this result, Xu Mu could accept it.
He had noticed early on that items above the fourth tier were far less common than those below the fourth tier.
As for the seventh tier, you can basically only see them in auctions. Some shops do have them on display, but they are basically for decoration. They are expensive and impractical, and only fools would buy them.
After finishing discussing the matters of the pills and magic artifacts, Wen Ruo Yu took out several secret technique books from his storage bag and placed them in front of Xu Mu.
These are all the silence techniques collected in the pavilion. Take a look and see if there are any to your satisfaction!”
it
God Hiding Skill, Hide Void Skill, Great Turtle Silence Method…
Xu Mu picked up the skills and quickly flipped through them, finally shaking his head.
These secret techniques were too low-level. Even if they reached the transcendent level, they couldn’t hide from those at the Golden Core Stage. To him, they were of no value. It would be easier for him to use the Body Refinement Realm to conceal his aura.
Then I am unable to assist!” Wenduo Ruo Yu said with a wry smile as he took back the secret techniques.
There are not many of these secret techniques, and most of them are paired with martial methods. There are very few that can be cultivated separately. To find top secret techniques among them, you really have to rely on luck.
Having agreed on a time to pick up the pills and talismans, Xu Mu bid farewell and left.
After leaving the Star Pavilion, he walked home while considering his next steps.
Originally, he thought Pursuing Wind City was quite large. Now he finds it a bit remote, as buying something suitable is so troublesome.
Wait a few days to get the pills and talismans, first upgrade the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, then return to the Liyang Sect to sell off the recently refined Foundation Establishment Pills, and then go to the major main cities to take a look!”
There is no way to further speed up the improvement of his cultivation level. Now the only ways to enhance his strength are Body Refinement Realm and magic artifacts.
Body Refinement Realm requires a vast amount of fine Qi pills. He lias enough accumulated luck, but the purchase of pills is a troublesome matter.
Not to mention magic artifacts, he does not lack ordinary tier four magic artifacts. If he wants to improve his strength, he can only buy high-tier magic artifacts. However, buying high-tier magic artifacts is even more troublesome than buying pills.
This is still in Pursuing Wind City. If he were in Liyang Sect, wanting to buy a tier four Sealing Spirit Magic Artifact would require waiting for an auction.
As for the secret skills to hide his strength for tricking others, he can only rely on luck.
A few days flew by and Xu Mu successfully collected the talismans and pills he had ordered from the Star Pavilion.
The talismans were all powerful tier five and tier six talismans. Each one was valuable and served a variety of functions.
He kept some of these talismans for himself and gave the rest to his family.
With these talismans, even when facing those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would not be totally defenceless.
The pills were the tier four Grass Renewal Pill and the tier five Condensing Yuan Pill. Both were used to replenish Qi and were suitable for improving the Body Refinement Realm.
This batch of pills, together with the ones he had previously accumulated, amounted to a total of 600 bottles, with 400 bottles of Grass Renewal Pill and 200 bottles of Condensing Yuan Pill.
One bottle of Grass Renewal Pill costs one medium-grade Spirit Stone, and one bottle of Condensing Yuan Pill costs six medium-grade Spirit Stones.
All these pills cost a total of 16 top-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to 160,000 lower-grade Spirit Stones.
Although the profit from reselling Foundation Establishment Pills is amazing, the speed at which I’m spending these Spirit Stones is astonishing!”
Apart from himself, all four girls are big spenders. Without a huge investment in pills, given their talents, they may not have reached Foundation Establishment yet, and might still be stuck in the same place.
Not only did he purchase talismans for everyone’s safety, he also bought a number of spiritual weapons, which was another considerable investment.
Fortunately, he has the existence of the space rift. Otherwise, anyone else would find it difficult to afford so many wives and concubines.
Shaking off the thoughts that flashed through his mind, Xu Mu summoned the system and began to upgrade the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body.
Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +10!”
Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +10!
Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +10!
Mastery of the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body; 0/6400!
