Things with Si Tan’er went smoothly. Once Xu Mu revealed his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she agreed immediately.

However-

After a full day and night of toiling, going through various positions, though fluids were trickling out from every hole, there was still no notification from the system.

Looking at the woman passed out beside him, Xu Mu couldn’t help but frown.

Is it due to having too few, or is the quality not good enough?

Si Tan’er’s talent is absolutely not lacking and could probably be a match for Chi Feiyan. Furthermore, she was already at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, so it likely wasn’t a quality issue.

Then it must be a numbers issue!

He only had six currently, both known and hidden, which was definitely somewhat lacking in terms of achieving the accomplishment of having three wives and multiple concubines.

Although just thinking about having to keep searching gave Xu Mu a headache.

For a responsible guy like him, taking on a new woman meant providing for her. The pressure was real!

After helping Si Tan’er clean up their mess and waving a couple of purifying talismans over himself, Xu Mu donned a regular robe and exited the second floor.

He brewed himself a pot of Zhu Qing tea and rested a moment in the courtyard before pulling out a jade talisman to send a message to Chi Feiyan.

Master, these are all the spirit stones for this month!

After handing over the spirit stones to Xu Mu, Chi Feiyan bowed before him, a lonesome expression evident on her delicate face beneath the thin fabric of her lovely dress.

Due to the Liyang Sect sending people to investigate, her sale of Foundation Establishment Pills was now constrained. She had only managed to sell less than ten over the month, which was a significant decrease compared to before.

Don’t worry, just take it slow!

Xu Mu wasn’t in a rush. He pocketed the spirit stones and casually reassured her.

In part, he currently still had abundant spirit stones. But he also faced a shortage in raw materials for Foundation Establishment Pills, so even if she sold all hers now, he wouldn’t have new pills to provide.

Otherwise, over the past six months, he could have definitely refined more than a hundred pills.

While the Cang Ming Ocean Territory may be lax in regulating Foundation Establishment Pills, he was clearly not the only one crafting them there. After passing through multiple powerful factions, there wasn’t much left for him to buy.

And what was available, was expensive!

The major factions had cornered the market on these materials to squeeze out Alchemists like him for profit.

“But…

But she wanted the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!

Her cultivation, having been quickly boosted by a huge amount of pills, had already reached the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. Now, Foundation Establishment was within sight, so how could she not be anxious?

Master, why don’t you…

Chi Feiyan’s pitiful gaze fell on Xu Mu. She clutched at her dress nervously, looking like a ripe strawberry just waiting to be picked.

Xu Mu pretended not to see it.

A woman upstairs had just finished a full day’s fun, he was in no mood for any of that now.

After copying down the herbs listed on the four new pill recipes and instructing her to collect as much as possible, Xu Mu sent the despondent Chi Feiyan away.

Heading to the third floor of the tower, Xu Mu took out the Grass Renewal Pill and the Blood Sun Pill, and began to use them to upgrade his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body.

[Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +10]!

[Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +10]!

[Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +10]!

[Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body Proficiency; 6399/64.00]!

Xu Mu rested for a bit, took two Blood Sun Pills, and the potency quickly spread through his body.

[Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body +1]!

[Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body Perfection; o/1.26w]!

The cohesive energy from the Blood Sun Pills was rapidly absorbed by the system, transforming into new energy to be infused into the lightning.

Crackling sounds filled the space!

Golden thunder surged all over his body, penetrating all of his limbs and every bit of his flesh, every cell.

His muscles and bloodlines underwent continual transformations under the stimulation of the electricity, enhancing to a super-human level. Electrons gathered into tiny runes deep inside his cells.

With a slight flicker of his body, a soft gold coat of electricity materialized itself around him.

With a circumference of ten feet, thunder waves surged around him.

At that moment, Xu Mu looked like Thor descending to the mortal world!

The array that could withstand an attack from the Foundation Establishment Stage was torn apart in an instant.

Xu Mu quickly restrained the thunder, preventing the total destruction of the tower.

As expected of a tier seven pill. Only two were enough!

Feeling the remaining medicinal energy in his body, Xu Mu couldn’t help but exclaim.

He stood up, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes in his body.

With the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body reaching the stage of Perfection, the color of his thunder coat turned light gold, its attack and defense power significantly increased.

Xu Mu felt that he could now fight late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators based solely on his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body. If he also used his newly acquired Thunder Strike Sword, he could most likely overcome anyone in a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Of course, this was only for regular late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. It didn’t include the geniuses of major sects.

Like the Fairy You Lan he met not long ago; she was probably not an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Apart from the increase in strength, the refinement of lightning increased his lifespan by a small margin, bringing it up to 340 years.

If he kept improving like this, he could possibly reach the lifespan of a Golden Core Stage cultivator before he even made the breakthrough to that stage.

Five hundred years!

Five hundred years, what a long time!

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Besides, as Xu Mu anticipated, the enhancement of the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body also promoted the Divine Skill of Thunder Wings, from the original proficiency; 100/6400, it surged by two thousand, reaching proficiency; 2100/6400.

Even the control of Thunder Divine Skills increased by more than a thousand from the original proficiency; 2110/3200, breaking through to proficiency; 131/6400 in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, it still couldn’t achieve the balance of softness and hardness, transforming thunder into water.

This time, Xu Mu did not hesitate, he added more than four thousand luck value to the Thunder Wings Divine Skill, raising it to the realm of proficiency.

[Thunder Wings +4300]!

[Divine Skill: Thunder Wings proficiency; o/i.28w]!

[A compatible Divine Skill detected. Do you want to merge?]

On the system interface, the skill icons of Thunder Wings and Flame Wings simultaneously glow.

Merge!”

Xu Mu, who had been waiting for this moment, naturally had no hesitation.

Hum!

A large amount of memory about the two flight Divine Skills began to collide and merge in Xu Mu’s mind, quickly forming a new flight Divine Skill.

[Please name your new Divine Skill.]

Flame Thunder Wings!

[Name successful!]

[Divine Skill: Tier Seven-Flame Thunder Wings proficiency; 514/1.28W]!

It actually fell to the realm of proficiency all at once, that’s really harsh, but a tier seven skill at the proficiency level should be stronger than a tier four Grandmaster skill, right?”

I just don’t know if it can catch up with the Escape Light of the Golden Core Stage?”

Xu Mu was excited in his heart, but unfortunately, he could not display it in his room.

It’s almost been two months. I should go back!

On this trip out, he achieved a breakthrough in the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, purchased the tier six Thunder Slash Sword, and obtained the recipes for four types of pills: Blood Sun Pill, Dust Reduction Pill, True Element Pill, Stay Age Pill.

And Si Tan’er!

Although there was no achievement, it could be considered as a kind of accumulation, laying the groundwork for future achievements.

It can be said that this trip was quite fruitful, the only regret was that there were some issues with the sales of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After a few more days of intimacy with Si Tan’er, leaving enough pills and Spirit Stones behind, Xu Mu was ready to return to Cang Ming Ocean Territory.

Husband, you must come back soon!”

Si Tan’er, who had just entered the honeymoon period, couldn’t help feeling a little reluctant when she heard that Xu Mu would be away for a few months. She held Xu Mu’s arm, her flushed eyes full of attachment.

Don’t worry! When you are at home, you should also cultivate well and strive to make a breakthrough in the Qi Cultivation Late Stage as soon as possible!”

Yes! Tan’er will not let husband down!

After comforting Si Tan’er, Xu Mu, without notifying Chi Feiyan and others, quietly left Liyang City and headed for the Cloud Peak Mountain Range where the spatial rift was located.

Who knows when will be the next time I come here!

According to Chi Feiyan’s efficiency, it is likely that he would have to wait for a year to return.

Looking at the nearby Cui Ling Market, Xu Mu was again filled with impulse.

Should I go back to White River City to take a look?

This time, he ultimately couldn’t resist the impulse, a pair of dark gold wings entwined with thunder and lightning spread out from his back. With a light flutter, his silhouette vanished from the spot.

Crack!

Thunder cut through the void, Xu Mu traversed hundreds of feet in an instant, and after a few flickers, disappeared into the far horizon.

It originally took them three months to travel from White River City, but this time, Xu Mu only spent less than an hour, and White River City was already in sight, a thousand times faster at least.

But when he passed the place where he had met that woman, he ultimately did not dare to stop.

He didn’t know if it was because it was daytime, or because he was flying too fast, but the woman did not appear.

After flying past that area, he let out a sigh of relief, while at the same time, a sense of loss rose in his heart.

Considering her unpredictable abilities…

Forget it, better not to think about it!

Xu Mu was afraid that he would turn back.

In less than an hour, I’ve managed to cover a distance of three thousand li. My current flying speed, even if it’s not at the Golden Core Stage, shouldn’t be too far off!”

Looking at the glittering White Stone River in the distance, Xu Mu exclaimed.

On the way, he had encountered a tier six monster beast known for its speed, but under his Flame Thunder Wings, it could only be toyed with, and in the end, he let it go because he was in a hurry.

Recalling the hardships of the three-month journey back then, and considering the ease now, he couldn’t help feeling a bit sentimental.

Withdrawing his Flame Thunder Wings, Xu Mu slowly descended from the air, stepping on the freshly sprouted young grass, and headed toward the not-so- distant White Sand River.

Years have passed since parting, I wonder how my old friends are!

One familiar figure after another flashed through his mind. Just as Xu Mu was lamenting in his heart, two figures jumped out from the woods.

Stop! Hand over your storage bag!

Indeed, the people of my hometown are still the most affectionate!
