Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 248: Chapter 217: Trade_l

“Fellow Daoist, we have found the seller for you, but there is one requirement: the transaction must take place within Tianyang Palace!” said the shopkeeper.

“All right!”

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment then nodded.

On the one hand, he was in urgent need of Pure Sun True Water. On the other, he felt that within a major sect like Tianyang Palace, there should be no safety issues.

“Then please wait a moment, someone will come to guide you shortly!

“Thank you!”

“You¹ re welcome!”

After the shopkeeper received his payment, he took his leave, leaving Xu Mu

alone in the living room to wait.

Before long, a young man with a hawk-like nose and dressed in the robes of a Tianyang Palace disciple walked in. After verifying Xu Mu’s identity, he led him to Tianyang Palace.

“Aren’t we going through the main entrance?”

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised by the obviously temporary entrance.

“That’s my master’s instruction. If you’re not willing, forget about it!

In front of Xu Mu, who was in Qi Cultivation Late Stage, the hawk-nosed Qi Cultivation Late Stage young man had an air of arrogance.

After saying this, he walked in without waiting,

Xu Mu frowned, but still followed him inside, keeping an extra wary eye on the surrounding paths and hidden formations.

After the hawk-nosed young man led him inside, he didn’t head towards the high-tier cave dwelling filled with spiritual energy, but instead took a detour around the foothills to a remote spot.

“Wait here, my master will be here soon.”

After saying this, the young man turned to leave, seeming impatient.

Just then, a magic artifact rope flew over and bound him tightly, leaving him unable to move.

“What are you doing?”

The hawk-nosed young man coldly asked.

“Get me out of here right now. We can talk about the trade another time.

Xu Mu pulled him closer, speaking in a calm tone.

“You scoundrel! Who do you think you are? To come and go as you please! This is Tianyang Palace! Release me at once! If the enforcers discover this, even if your cultivation level is ten times higher, you won’t escape death!”

The hawk-nosed young man boldly scolded.

“Since you refuse to escort me out, I’ll leave by myself.”

Xu Mu was not scared, and prepared to retrace his steps, dragging him along.

Hum!

A white light screen appeared, covering everything within a ten-foot radius around him.

Xu Mu stopped and asked, “What does this mean?”

“What does it mean? Ha ha!”

A fierce-looking young man in a purple robe appeared out of thin air.

“You!”

Xu Mu immediately recognized him.

He was the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had competed with him

for the Pure Sun True Water at the auction.

“I didn’t think you would remember me! Very well! Excellent!” the purple- robed young man sneered, “Old man, you played with me once, but you didn’t expect to fall into my hands, did you? Today, 1’11 make sure you neither live nor die!”

It II

Xu Mu said nothing and calmly looked at him.

He really hadn’t expected this. He hadn’t thought that just from competing at the auction, he had provoked such a vendetta from this person. How petty this man must be!

“Junior brother, stop wasting your breath with him, finish him off quickly, I still need to get back to my cultivation!”

Four more hidden figures appeared out of nowhere. The one who spoke was a young man with a face like golden paper. His cultivation was the highest among them all, having reached the late Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Brother Luo, you’re right!”

The purple-robed young man responded with a hint of flattery.

“Senior brothers, save me!”

Seeing that they were about to take action, the hawk-nosed young man who had been captured by Xu Mu finally lost his composure. He called out loudly.

“Release him and we might grant you a swift end.”

Brother Luo said with a tone of condescending charity.

Xu Mu did not let go, nor was he angry, because he knew that anger couldn’t solve the problem.

“Fellow Daoists, if it’s about the auction, I am willing to compensate with ten superior spirit stones. Why don’t we turn hostility into peace!”

Since he was inside Tianyang Palace with several of the palace’s disciples, if money could solve matters, Xu Mu didn’t want to cause any trouble.

“Ten superior spirit stones? You think you’re dealing with a beggar!” the purple-robed youth disdainfully remarked. “If you bring out a hundred superior spirit stones and kowtow in apology to me, only then I might consider sparing you!”

“Are you insisting on mutual destruction?”

Xu Mu still remained utterly calm.

“Mutual destruction? Ha ha!”

The five of them broke into laughter.

“You’re trapped by a tier five formation, with us five Foundation Establishment cultivators presiding. No matter your status as a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator on the verge of death, even a Golden Core Stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to struggle free for quite some time! We are giving you a last chance, release him, or we will annihilate your soul so you won’t even get the opportunity of reincarnation!”

The five of them did not take Xu Mu seriously, continuing to verbally threaten him.

“That’s right! Let me go immediately! Maybe I can plead with elder brothers to lessen your punishment!”

Seemingly regaining his confidence, the hawk-nosed youth also started making a clamor.

“Ah!”

Xu Mu couldn’t help but sigh.

He merely wanted to peacefully make a few purchases. Why was it so hard?

Bang!

Xu Mu lifted his hand, slapping the hawk-nosed youth in the head. The whole head was squashed like a watermelon into a paste.

The five people outside the formation couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

The next second, their faces immediately turned cold.

“Old fart! You really have guts! I originally intended to kill you quickly, but now

I won’t rest until I skin you alive!”

Brother Luo spoke with a voice as cold as millennia-old ice.

“Attack!”

Before his words fell, the five of them simultaneously infused their spiritual power into the formation.

But before the formation could fully activate, a finned white fox was released by Xu Mu. The fox’s eyes shot out blue light, which instantly pierced through the formation and shot towards the purple-robed youth.

Creak!

A protective artifact automatically cast a spiritual light shell around the purple-robed youth. However, against that blue light, it proved to be as fragile as a mere foam.

The blue light ray hit the purple-robed youth, immediately causing his body to start crystallizing.

“Brother, save me!”

The immobile purple-robed youth cried out in terror. The other four were somewhat at a loss and wanted to help, but they didn’t know how.

Brother Luo was the first one to respond, hurriedly taking out a tier seven talisman gifted by his master, intending to launch an attack against Xu Mu. However, before he could activate the talisman, another blue light beam shot at his head, half of which began to crystallize.

You have to understand, this crystallization beam can’t even be blocked by a tier seven magic artifact, so how could these two mere Foundation Establishment cultivators block it?

The remaining three finally felt fear and tried to escape on their flying swords. This was Tianyang Palace, if they could just slightly distance themselves, they could be saved and alert their sect, summon Golden Core Elders, or even alarm the Nascent Soul Ancestor to kill this man.

But how could Xu Mu give them such an opportunity? The moment they took action to flee was the moment they sealed their fate.

Transforming into a streak of white light, the white fox puppet blocked two of them instantly. A crystallization beam took each of them down on the spot. The remaining one was caught up by Xu Mu, who swung his Sky-splitting Halberd and like cutting through tofu, sliced him and his protective artifact in half.

After quickly collecting their storage bags, Xu Mu didn’t dare to hesitate and left Tianyang Palace following the same path from memory.

Once out of the Tianyang Palace, Xu Mu promptly rode the white fox puppet, transforming into an escape light, and rapidly distanced himself from Tianyang Palace.

Although using the white fox puppet to travel consumed a lot of spirit stones, Xu Mu couldn’t afford to skimp at a time like this.

Only after flying a few hundred miles did Xu Mu feel slightly more comfortable. He quickly stripped the bodies, burning them into ashes, and then began refining their storage bags to open them up.

“Found it!”

Xu Mu found what he was looking for, the ten pounds of Pure Sun True Water, in the purple-robed youth’s storage bag.

Not just that, he found many more in the other storage bags as well which added up to hundreds of pounds.

“I just don’t know how effective it is.”

Xu Mu couldn’t be bothered to tidy up the miscellaneous items from the Foundation Establishment cultivators. He just took out a drop of Pure Sun True Water to take first, wanting to test its effects.
