[Achievement Obtained: Lifelong Bond]!

[Lifelong Bond: Gain 20 Luck Value points every day!]

[Luck Value: Can be used to enhance skill proficiency, but cannot be used to directly upgrade cultivation level!]

Is it the system that’s becoming more and more insane, or am I becoming more and more insane? This kind of thing can even earn an achievement.

And the wording of this achievement…

Well, okay!

It’s good to get an achievement, why bother about the other details!

“I originally planned to make True Element Pills to break through the latter stage of Foundation Establishment, who would have thought that I would unexpectedly break through in this way!”

Feeling the surging spiritual power within his body, Xu Mu was extremely excited.

Normally, even with the help of True Element Pills, it takes quite a while to cultivate to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, unexpectedly, now he achieved it in one step.

Could it be that the people of Butian Pavilion are so keen on dual cultivation because it upgrades so fast.

Xu Mu looked down at the almost perfect body in the coffin, and there was a

look of excitement in his eyes.

This is a perfect human-shaped big pill!

And it can be used infinitely!

He had just tried to take the initiative to enter, and then activated the Yin and Yang Harmony secret skill. This not only aids in cultivation but also directly absorbs the spiritual energy from the opponent’s body for his own use.

This method of enhancing cultivation is almost the same as that of the cultivators in the Butian Pavilion.

The body was originally at the Nascent Soul Stage, the speed of absorption and recovery far exceeds the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there is no resistance at all, it can be said to be the perfect furnace.

Of course, all this is based on the premise of having the Yin and Yang Harmony secret skill. Otherwise, one would not be able to convert the yin energy in the opponent’s body into yang energy, and forcibly absorbing it would do more harm than good.

In other words, only Xu Mu can use this method.

“This secret skill that I obtained by chance is so powerful and terrifying! It not only saved me several times, but also has such amazing uses!

Xu Mu sighed in his heart.

He even began to consider whether to accumulate Luck Value to upgrade the

Yin and Yang Harmony secret skill to the next level.

Afterwards, he shook his head, deciding to first enhance his cultivation and break through to the Golden Core Stage.

With this tool corpse, his cultivation speed will greatly increase, and the breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage is just around the corner.

“Give up the refining of True Element Pills for now, accumulate Luck Value first and save it for refining Dust Reduction Pills!”

Dust Reduction Pills are spiritual medicines that assist in breaking through the Golden Core Stage. If he can refine Top Quality Dustfall Pills, both his speed and chances of breakthrough will greatly increase.

However, Dust Reduction Pills are tier seven medicinal pills. The Luck Value needed to enhance them to the level of refining top-grade quality is quite terrifying.

To gain entry for a tier seven skill, it requires over six thousand Luck Value points.

To be a hundred percent sure of refining top-grade dan medicines, one at least needs to reach the Grandmaster level.

The required Luck Value consumption is as high as hundreds of thousands. Based on the current accumulation speed of Luck Value, it would take about four years.

Four years for a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage is not long, especially for Xu Mu, even forty years is not long.

As his cultivation broke through the latter stage of Foundation Establishment, his lifespan increased further, reaching 450 years.

He’s only in his seventies now and still has more than 300 years of lifespan. With such a long lifespan to break through to the Golden Core Stage, he can afford to take his time.

A normal cultivator is considered a genius if they can break through before the age of two hundred.

As for him, he estimates he can break through before the age of a hundred, making him a genius among geniuses.

Of course, his method is a bit of a cheat, but who cares about that?

People only look at cultivation levels!

Xu Mu wrapped up the body and initially intended to keep it in his storage bag, but found it could not be put in.

This body is somewhat strange!

So, he simply used the materials on him to make a coffin specifically for it on the spot and put it on his back.

With his current physical strength, this weight is as light as a feather to him.

To avoid leaving any traces, Xu Mu summoned a blue bird to generate a purple fireball within the underground palace, staying there, while he exited easily by relying on the memory of Iron Corpse Superior.

The protective layout of the cultivation ground was so excellent that even after Iron Corpse Superior had been dead for a day or two, the Iron Corpse Gang still hadn’t noticed.

As for life-checking tokens, Iron Corpse Superior wouldn’t leave any behind!

In the style of Demonic Dao cultivators, it would be unwise to attack him using life-checking tokens.

As Xu Mu exited the underground palace, the leftover fireball suddenly exploded, forming a massive shockwave that flattened the entire palace.

The enormous explosion sent the Iron Corpse Gang into chaos.

Using his invisibility technique, Xu Mu strolled out carrying a coffin.

He didn’t bother to completely wipe out the Iron Corpse Gang.

Firstly, it was unnecessary.

Demonic Dao cultivators are selfish, even if they knew he killed Iron Corpse Superior, nobody would foolishly seek revenge.

Secondly, he still needed these people to maintain order and balance in the surrounding forces.

Spreading his wings behind him, Xu Mu soared into the sky and quickly returned to his home on Misty Morning Island.

In the following days, Xu Mu spent his time in the cave, delighting in the rapid progress of his cultivation.

Even after his two female companions sent him numerous messages, he reluctantly made two visits.

To detain him, the women opened up the passages in the back, but it was of no use.

After the second visit, he adamantly refused to go again. Knowing Zhang Tianluo, if she knew where his cave was, she probably would have knocked on his door by now.

In terms of pure sensation, the two women were far superior, soft and sweet, with an aftertaste that lingered.

His tool corpse, on the other hand, was like a cold cave.

An ordinary person stepping in would probably freeze instantly.

Only he, practicing fire-attribute martial method and the yin and yang harmony secret skill, could endure for an extended period.

He chose the tool corpse over the two lovely women not for pleasure, but because the rapid improvement in cultivation was irresistible.

The rate at which the tool corpse absorbed spiritual energy was hundreds of times faster than his, each cultivation session felt like having an epiphany.

Xu Mu estimated that, at this rate, he could reach the perfection of the foundation establishment stage in less than a year.

How could anyone resist such a pace?

Due to his indulgence in cultivation, he even temporarily put aside the matter of accepting Wang Yin Xian as his disciple.

However, as his cultivation level rapidly increased, a troublesome issue arose.

A lack of spiritual energy!

Spiritual energy in the world flows like rivers, and the lowest areas form spirit veins.

Xu Mu’s cave didn’t even have a small spirit vein, the amount of spiritual energy was already low, even with the help of a spirit gathering array, the quantity was very limited.

Originally, Xu Mu’s cultivation mainly relied on pills, so he didn’t require a lot of nature’s spiritual energy, and thus didn’t pay much attention.

However, the tool corpse had a significant demand for spiritual energy, the gathered energy in the vicinity wasn’t enough even for a short period of absorption.

Xu Mu could, of course, shove pills in it, allowing her to absorb and digest before returning him spiritual energy, but doing so would negate the purpose of using the tool corpse.

Plus, he lacked the right pills for the tool corpse to absorb.

“Perhaps, it’s time to consider moving to Black Tide Island, where there are quite a few small spirit veins, which could greatly speed up my cultivation!” “I could also ask Yang Wanshou to harness the earth veins to further increase the density of spiritual energy.”

Originally, Xu Mu looked down on the three great powers for using Pulse Setting Skill to gather spiritual energy within a thousand miles, depriving ordinary people the chance to embark on the cultivation path.

Now, however, he was on the verge of becoming one of the ones he scorned. But, he was slightly hesitant about this decision.

Because, after moving there, the two women would surely pester him all day long. If they also discovered the tool corpse, who knows what changes might occur.

What a headache!

“Right!”

Xu Mu suddenly had a bright idea and thought of an excellent location. -Isn’t the secret realm where I found the tool corpse an even better fit!”
