One month later

Illusional Sea City!

Friend Xu, here are the Spirit Stones! If you’ve got more pills in the future, be sure to look for me first!”

A good-humored old man, holding a storage bag filled with Spirit Stones, hands it over to Xu Mu.

After tallying the Spirit Stones, Xu Mu says with a smile, “Shopkeeper Huang, rest assured! When I come to sell pills next time, I’ll definitely look for you first!”

Without spending much time on small talk, Xu Mu takes his leave.

After going out the door, he changes his identity multiple times before finally reaching the inn where he is staying.

Unexpectedly, the Stay Age Pill is so popular! It seems coming here was the right choice!”

Stashing all of the Spirit Stones into a storage bag and staring at a stack of medium-grade Spirit Stones, Xu Mu is in high spirits.

Originally, he was prepared to struggle fiercely. After all, he had no channels and didn’t know any local cultivators. He only had scattered information he had collected in advance. It was almost the same as starting from scratch.

However, after arriving in Illusional Sea City, he just put out a little news, and the apothecary shopkeepers couldn’t help but flock to him. In less than a month, all the Stay Age Pills he had accumulated were sold out.

He did not encounter the difficulties he had when trying to sell the Foundation Establishment Pills.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. One can easily test whether or not the Stay Age Pill is real by simply taking it.

But who dares to do such a thing with the Foundation Establishment Pill?

Moreover, other organizations are not short of Foundation Establishment Pills!

Another reason is that Xu Mu was too careful in selling his pills in order to hide his identity. With the Foundation Establishment Pill already difficult to sell and his added caution, buyers were even more reluctant.

Fortunately, the profit from the Stay Age Pill exceeded his expectations. In the future, even without the Liyang Sect’s channel, he could still live comfortably.

These next few days I can roam around the city, buy a few gifts for the girls, then go back!” Xu Mu thinks to himself.

Boom! Boom!

Just as he was about to meditate and cultivate, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the room.

Who is it?” Xu Mu asks warily.

The Thunder-cutting Sword already appears in his hand and flickers with lightning.

The inns where cultivators stay don’t have any “servants” delivering water. Unless he asks for it himself, there should be no one knocking at the door.

Mu Yunwan from the Butian Pavilion, looking for an audience with Pill Master Xu!”

A sweet and glutinous voice comes from outside the room. It sounds like honey wrapped in sugar, sweet to the ear, and even sweeter to the heart.

Xu Mu’s eyes flash with even more vigilance.

There was clearly a mesmerizing effect in this voice.

I’m not surnained Xu, nor am I a Pill Master. You’ve found the wrong person! Xu Mu refutes outright.

The girl outside chuckles!

The next moment, the door is pushed open from the outside with a click.

A woman in a pink dress walks in from outside.

With bright eyes and white teeth, a slim waist that can be encircled by a grasp, her entire body is like a fully ripe peach in October, full of endless temptation from the inside out.

However, what draws more attention is the red bloom between her eyebrows, like a bloody flower on the other side.

Xu Mu’s face turns awful.

What a messed-up top-tier inn that allows people to just stroll in so casually.

Xu Mu secretly activates the Formation token, intending to activate the room’s Formation and escape through the window. Even though the woman before him is only late-stage Foundation Establishment, and he would probably win in a fight, Xu Mu dislikes taking risks. Besides, she belongs to the Butian Pavilion. If he kills her, the trouble is probably even greater than from the Liyang Sect.

Unfortunately, no matter how he manipulates the token, the Formation shows no response.

Pill Master Xu, don’t bother!

Mu Yunwan gives him an irresistibly charming smile, a token appearing in her hand out of thin air.

She places the token on the table.

Yours is a sub-token while mine is the master token. Without my permission, the Formation won’t stop!”

Butian Pavilion really knows how to do business!” Xu Mu grinds his teeth.

This is even more disgusting than a hotel in his past life having a spare key.

Pill Master Xu, instead of complaining about this, why don’t you sit down and chat with this young lady?”

Mu Yunwan is all smiles, completely indifferent to Xu Mu’s mockery.

I don’t know you, nor am I the person you’re looking for, so I genuinely have no idea what we would chat about?” Xu Mu remains vigilant.

The sudden visitor whose intentions are unclear and exposes such a danger of the inn is likely to harbor ill intentions.

Could this not be made by you?”

Mu Yunwan takes out a bottle of top-grade Stay Age Pills and puts them on the table.

No!” Xu Mu’s denial remains firm.

Mu Yunwan doesn’t mind and continues to smile. “Miss doesn’t mean any harm, just sign this contract and you can go wherever you want!”

Mu Yunwan takes out a contract made of animal skin and places it on the table. Seeing that Xu Mu doesn’t want to come forward, she flicks her sleeve and the contract flies in front of Xu Mu. He can’t avoid looking at it.

It’s a good thing he didn’t, but upon seeing it, Xu Mu nearly has a stroke.

Hand over one-third of my divine soul and produce free pills for you for fifty years, you really dare to ask!”

Xu Mu is so angry his teeth are nearly crushed.

He has never even seen the other party before and never provoked the Butian Pavilion. On the other hand, it is the people from the Butian Pavilion who have repeatedly and inexplicably made his life difficult.

Initially, Junior Sister Bai had also done the same, she tried to grab him and turn him into a cauldron without any explanation.

This one is even crueler, she directly wants him to be her slave.

I just kindly showed you a clear path, you should be thanking me, but instead, you are speaking such hurtful words!”

Mu Yunwan acted as if she was heartbroken.

Xu Mu was so angry that he wished he could vomit blood.

What kind of clear path is this, it’s clearly a dead end!

Friend Mu, I don’t remember offending you or doing anything to harm Butian Pavilion, yet you are pushing me towards a dead end right from the start, is that not too domineering?”

Xu Mu forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and asked.

Hehe!

Mu Yunwan started to giggle.

You are selling Stay Age Pills in our Butian Pavilion’s territory, without even a notification, and you say you didn’t offend us?”

Xu Mu was rendered speechless!

Who said you couldn’t sell?

Moreover, all known cultivation cities should be under the jurisdiction of Cluster Stars Sect, with Butian Pavilion and Four Seas Immortal Palace serving as support. Since when did Illusional Sea City become your Butian Pavilion’s territory.

However, arguing about this right now was obviously pointless, as the other party had no intention of debating.

If it’s about this matter, I’m willing to give you half of my Spirit Stones as compensation!”

This was their territory, or at least, the inn was, so Xu Mu had to back down once again, hoping to resolve everything peacefully.

He didn’t believe that Mu Yunwan was here alone, it was highly likely that there were Golden Core Stage masters lurking around.

If there were, then struggling would be useless. Regardless of whether he resisted sooner or later, there wouldn’t be much difference.

Of course, it would be best not to engage in a fight!

Doing business, peace is most cherished.

Unfortunately, Xu Mu’s concession did not cause Mu Yunwan to back off.

I don’t care about your Spirit Stones!

Mu Yunwan licked her lips.

What I want is you! A golden goose that lays eggs continually! Haha!

Mu Yunwan laughed loudly, apparently not cared about Xu Mu’s reaction at all.

At this time, Xu Mu’s face turned extremely ugly.

He now understood that from the moment she entered, she was toying with him and never took him seriously.

As for the agreement, whether it is signed or not, it’s likely it would have the same result!

The Cang Ming Ocean Territory is not only Butian Pavilion’s territory, and I’m not alone either. Friend Mu, you had better not cross the line!” Xu Mu said coldly.

Hahahahaha!

Mu Yunwan laughed hysterically as if she had heard a hilarious joke, almost doubling over.

Then suddenly stopped, looking at him like she would at an idiot.

If you really had some backup, you wouldn’t have surreptitiously sold the pill! I’m sure you are hiding something quite secretive!”

Mu Yunwan stared at Xu Mu, with a smirk on her face.

And I’ve got you cornered!

Xu Mu was speechless.

He didn’t imagine that his extremely cautious actions would have provided the opponent an excuse to take action.

But indeed, he was harboring many secrets, be it the existence of the system or the presence of the spatial rift.

If caught and interrogated, it would indeed mean doom for him.

Mu Yunwan obviously was interested not only in controlling him and having him help with alchemy but also in the secrets he held.

Can you answer one last question for me?” Xu Mu took a deep breath.

You are quite interesting, you can still remain calm at this time! I like it!” Mu Yunwan licked her lips and laughed.

Go ahead!

How did you find me?”

Haha!

Mu Yunwan laughed again.

With your little tricks, you might be able to fool the ordinary Loose Cultivators, but in front of us Butian Pavilion, it’s a joke! Honestly, I only originally wanted to find out who was selling Stay Age Pills on my territory, but your excessively cautious actions successfully aroused my interest!”

Xu Mu was left speechless.

Did this count as shooting oneself in the foot?

Thanks for letting me know!

You’re welcome!

To express my gratitude…

Chee!

Blue sparrow suddenly leaned out from behind Xu Mu, opening its beak to emit a long cry.

Waves of invisible sound spread in all directions.

Simultaneously, without any hesitation, Xu Mu activated his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body. His whole body was enveloped in a golden thunder light. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared above Mu Yunwan. The Thunder Slash Sword in his hand emitted a dazzling golden-blue light as he slashed towards Mu Yunwan.

You can go to hell!
