In the following months, Xu Mu’s days were the most leisurely.

The environment was stable, he had a sufficient supply of Spirit Stones, and plenty of time for cultivation.

Except for Lan Shijin’s occasionally resentful eyes.

That’s not my fault!

The noise was not made by me!

As for the silence symbol, it’s such a waste!

I just want to be a bit frugal, nothing more.

Time flies!

More than three months later!

On that day, Xu Mu went out to buy a large amount of pills, told several people he would be in seclusion, and then he went up to the third floor of the attic alone.

This is his very own cultivation space.

The room was spacious, spanning fifty steps in diameter. Besides some simple furnishings, there were no obstacles.

When the window was opened, he could take in the scenery of the nearby streets.

In the distance, the green locust trees had already turned yellow. The autumn wind blew and the leaves danced around.

A team of guards dressed in red armor had sharp eyes that scanned the surroundings. One of the cultivators, with knife-like brows, gave Xu Mu who was standing on the attic an extra glance.

Xu Mu looked down at the courtyard, where Little Ling’er, dressed in chestnut-colored dress, was chasing a grown white wolf. She ran fast, yelling “I caught you, I caught you” from time to time.

Ouyang Ying, leaning on his cane, stood by and watched with a grin.

In a room in the house, Little Zhang Yu was being forced by his grandfather to practice writing. His small face was full of bitterness.

He looked at Little Ling’er playing in the courtyard in envy.

Zhang Shouren was holding a book in one hand and pinching his goatee with the other, pacing back and forth by the flower bed. He crouched down from time to time to check on the herbs planted in the garden.

He always felt that using the courtyard to grow flowers was a waste.

The spiritual energy there was five percent higher than the outside world, which was a superior spiritual field. If managed well, it could yield more than a dozen lower-grade Spirit Stones every month.

In the end, with Xu Mu’s agreement, he bought some spiritual medicine seedlings with his own money and planted them there. He spent his whole day studying them.

Xu Mu could only respond with a bitter smile to this.

Who, living in such a house, would need those few Spirit Stones?

After closing the window, Xu Mu closed his eyes to sense.

Ye Yingying was resting on the bed in the room on the second floor. Her belly was already very large, making it temporarily impossible for her to meditate.

Lately, Ye Yingying had been lying down and resting except when she was eating or doing some exercise. Even at night, Xu Mu only dared to be very careful with her.

But it didn’t affect her life much.

When she was pregnant the first time, she was still helping with household chores even close to delivery.

As a cultivator, her body was much stronger than ordinary people.

Moreover, Ye Yingying’s cultivation level was much higher than before. Also, she was taking Jade Marrow Pills regularly to improve her physique, she wouldn’t be affected by daily life even after two more months.

If Xu Mu hadn’t forced her to rest more, she might have been playing with Little Ling’er in the courtyard already.

In a room on the lower floor, Lan Shijin was meditating with her eyes closed.

She who was often tormented by excitement every night, had to squeeze out some time during the day to cultivate.

Xu Mu had given her quite a few pills during this period of time. After all, she was his mother-in-law, and she was trying to break through the late stage of Qi Cultivation using this opportunity.

As for Leng Yuening in another room, she was also cultivating. Her abdomen was already slightly raised, and Xu Mu could clearly sense the vitality inside her.

The responsibilities were getting heavier and heavier!

In his previous life, having three kids was something that could worry you to death.

After retracting his senses, Xu Mu pushed the Spirit Gathering Array in the room to its maximum, then took out bottle after bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills.

After more than three months of accumulation, his Luck Value was enough to upgrade Thunderbolt Sword Skill to a Transcendent level.

He had also reached the limit of the sixth level in cultivation.

Xu Mu wanted to break through the Thunderbolt Sword Skill first, and then use the body refinement to attack the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.

Once the Thunderbolt Sword Skill reached the Transcendent level, the corresponding body refinement level is the opening of the meridians.

With inner and outer meridians opened, each move could involve the spiritual energy of nature, possessing power beyond the mundane.

In order to avoid an accident, Xu Mu took three Yellow Dragon Pills at once, then opened the system and added a point to the Thunderbolt Sword Skill.

After a few trials, he found that the energy contained in a Yellow Dragon Pill could just offset the consumption of three points of proficiency.

Earlier, he used the meat of the green wolf to raise the Thunderbolt Sword Skill to 800 points.

The Thunderbolt Sword Skill was now only 2600 points away from the Transcendent level.

If calculated as three points per pill, about more than eighty bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills would be needed to upgrade the Thunderbolt Sword Skill to a Transcendent level.

Of course, it would definitely need more than that, because the more it was upgraded, the greater the consumption would be.

Xu Mu estimated that at least two hundred bottles would be needed to be absolutely safe.

Although the purpose of Yellow Dragon Pills was to replace food, it was, after all, a tier-three pill. Its price in Liyang City was fifty to sixty lower-grade Spirit Stones per bottle.

If calculated at fifty Spirit Stones per bottle, two hundred bottles would total ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.

That would be equivalent to one-third of Xu Mu’s total savings.

It was indeed a blood-sucking skill!

During this period, he also found out that body cultivators were rare because of the enormous consumption. Especially during the initial stages where they could not directly absorb spiritual energy to replenish their bodies, they basically relied on spiritual medicines to improve.

This high-cost cultivation system was beyond the capacity of ordinary loose cultivators. Only the gifted children of large families and major powers had the resources and time for cultivation.

If it hadn’t been for the ability to improve cultivation aptitude, Xu Mu might have given up.

“Rent, plus the consumption during this time, after upgrading the Thunderbolt Sword Skill, I should start making money!”

With this thought flashing through his mind, Xu Mu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a moment to restore his state to its peak.

Bottles after bottles of pills were opened and consumed.

The luck value in the system also began to fluctuate.

“[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +3]!”

“[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +3]!”

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+3]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Grandmaster Skill; 1500/3200]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+2]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+2]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+2]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Grandmaster Skill; 2500/3200]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Grandmaster Skill; 3199/3200]!

With the rapid advancement of the Thunderbolt Sword Skill, Xu Mu’s vitality becomes stronger, more condensed, like a billowing smoke, distorting the surrounding air.

His robust vitality continually radiates, as though his entire body is emitting a red glow.

Even though Xu Mu is sitting still there with his eyes closed, he still exudes an immense oppressive aura.

He seems not to be a person sitting there, but a wild beast of colossal size.

The terrifying vitality is condensed within such a small body.

With each breath, the entire room seems to be shaking. His heartbeat is steady and powerful, each beat similar to the rolling of a ground dragon, bringing an irresistible force.

He is now at the peak of the blood replacement realm.

The blood circulating in his body is as heavy as mercury, and a single drop could dye an entire pool red.

The energy contained in a drop of blood is even denser than a tier three Yellow Dragon Pill.

If an ordinary person consumed his flesh and blood, it would be like consuming a nourishing pill.

Right now, he is a walking grand pill!

Not only him, but with the advancement of their cultivation, the bodies of all cultivators have great value.

Humans hunt monster beasts to boost their cultivation by eating their flesh, and monster beasts hunt humans for the same reason.

Once he had adapted to the elevation of his body, he took out two new sets of pills.

Tier four spiritual medicine – Grass Renewal Pill!

This pill is only consumed by those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The effect is tens of times that of the Yellow Dragon Pill!

Of course, the price is even more astronomical; a bottle costs eight medium-grade spirit stones, which is more expensive than a tier three artifact.

Even then, it took him a lot of effort to buy them.

If it were not for Liyang City, he might not have been able to buy them even if he had the spirit stones.

Also, because of buying the Grass Renewal Pill, he learned some upsetting news.

But there was no time to dwell on that now.

He swallowed the entire bottle of Grass Renewal Pill all at once and immediately increased a point in Thunderbolt Sword Skill.

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill Transcendent; 0/0]!

With the increase in skill points, mysterious crevices suddenly appeared in his body, as though previously tightly closed windows were becoming loose.

There were as many as three hundred and sixty of these crevices, just enough to cover the whole body, corresponding to the Heavenly Cycle.

Boom!

That robust vitality, almost unbearable, found an outlet and began brutally pouring into these crevices.

In an instant, these sudden portals were blown open.

Hum!

The world within a hundred yards seems to quiver slightly.

The spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth also seemed to be drawn by some force, slowly heading toward him, merging into these open portals.

The rate at which the spiritual energy was fusing became faster and faster, like a river in reverse.

Thankfully, he had set up a Spirit Gathering Array in advance. Coupled with the rich supply of spiritual energy in their area, there would have been significant anomalies otherwise.

The swirling in spiritual energy and vitality fused together to form a completely new kind of energy, which then flowed back into his body, nourishing it.

Xu Mu quickly consumed another bottle of Grass Renewal Pill to accelerate this body transformation.

Splash!

All his flesh, bones, and meridians began to undergo miraculous changes under the cascading impact of this new energy.

His bones became like white jade, and his muscles seemed like beautiful glaze, all emitting a faint glow.

At this moment, he has truly become a man of gleaming golden flesh and jade bones! Transcending and Entering the Sacred!

The power throughout his body surged like a torrent. With a flick of a finger, spiritual energy surrounds him, and with ease, he could punch through the air, causing a sonic boom.

Its power was more significant than his previous full-strength sword attack.

As he breathed, spiritual energy integrated into his body, rapidly recovering his stamina, allowing him to maintain peak condition at all times.

His spirit elevated once again, reaching an extreme level of sensitivity. The joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, the various emotional changes of everyone in the courtyard, were instantly reflected in his mind.

Under these circumstances, he could easily sense any ill intentions from an enemy, making assassination attempts on him almost impossible.

Although this perception doesn’t have the broad sense of divine intent, in a close combat situation, it undoubtedly offers even more significant advantages.

“With my current physical qualities, even without using the Light Body Skill, I could easily slay Foundation Establishment Stage monster beasts!”

Besides the improvement in strength, the progress in his life span was also drastic, much beyond his expectations..
