Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Even Mu Yunwan, who was at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage, fell at his feet, not to mention Lv Feier who was merely at an early stage of Qi Cultivation. Her challenge was tantamount to a death wish.

Xu Mu was simply bored earlier and was just toying with her.

As for the accusations she made, they were all the instructions Xu Mu had given Chi Feiyan. Lv Feier, unaware of their relationship and their collaboration behind the scenes, mistakenly believed Chi Feiyan was engaging in unethical personal gain.

What a joke!

It was unfortunate that Lv Feier’s cultivation was too low. Her vital energy only allowed Xu Mu to enhance his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body by a mere hundred proficiency points.

His cultivation had already reached the peak, unable to improve further, so he used it to elevate his Body Refinement Realm.

The vital energy he absorbed was different from usual pills. It could directly substitute real vital energy.

Xu Mu once relied on the vital energy forcefully taken from Mu Yunwan to perfect his Yin and Yang Harmony Secret Skill. Without it, he would not have survived.

Raising his hand, Xu Mu refined Lv Feier’s storage bag and took out the items within to inspect their contents.

Just like opening a mystery box, even though he knew that with Lv Feier’s cultivation level there wouldn’t be anything valuable, he couldn’t resist checking.

To his surprise, there was something unexpected.

“Huh?”

Xu Mu only glanced at the spirit stones and magic artifacts, instead, a secret manual and a token drew his attention.

“The Sky-Replenishing Jue and this token… Isn’t that the one I gave to Su Qing?”

Originally, he obtained four unique items from Xiao Yi. The secret skill, “One Hundred and Eight Forms of Yin and Yang Harmony”, had saved him several times.

A map that led him to a spatial rift to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.

There was a secret manual called “Sky-Replenishing Jue.” Back then, he did not understand its value until he arrived at the Cang Ming Ocean Territory and realized it was a valuable martial method belonging to the Butian Pavilion. Finally, a token imprinted with the word “Butian”!

Believing it was likely related to the Sky-Replenishing Jue, he gave both the secret manual and the token to Su Qing as he had no use for them.

“How did she get it? Could it be that Su Qing—”

With a flicker in his eyes, Xu Mu swiftly extracted Lv Feier’s soul to examine.

After a long while, he heaved a sigh.

According to Lv Feier’s memory, these items were discovered on a corpse when the Chi and Lv families were cleaning up monster beasts around the marketplace.

Lv Feier thought they were unusual and wanted to claim them. She attained powerful persuasive powers after cultivating the Sky-Replenishing Jue, which finally allowed her to completely control Chi Shouyuan.

The desiccated skeleton was likely Su Qing’s remains. She probably didn’t make it to the Liyang Sect and met with unforeseen circumstances soon after she parted ways with Xu Mu and his group, otherwise the Chi and Lv families would not have easily found it.

“To think it made its way back to me in such roundabout manner. Fate indeed!”

Xu Mu paid the secret manual no mind and picked up the token to study it.

His cultivation now was far greater than before, and he could see that the token was unusual. Simply judging from its material, it was so sturdy that he couldn’t cause even a scratch, despite his current cultivation level.

However, he was still unable to figure out its function after studying it for quite some time.

“I’ll ask around when I return to the Cangming Sea Territory!”

This token may have something to do with Butian Pavilion. It shouldn’t be difficult to find more information as long as he asks around about Butian Pavilion.

After storing the token, Xu Mu closed his eyes and continued practicing.

Subduing the Chi and Lv families was the greatest challenge, especially with Chi Shouyuan and Lv Feier. But now that one was incapacitated and the other reduced to ashes, it allowed Chi Feiyan’s restructuring process to go smoothly. Almost a hundred people, including Lv Yi, the former head of the Lv family, were all cleanly eliminated.

A few days later, when Chi Feiyan finished restructuring the family and renamed it to Xu Family, an unexpected system notification rang in Xu Mu’s mind.

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining ancestral land to officially establish a family!]

[Reward: Luck Value: 10000!]

[Reward: Talent: Bullseye!]

[Bullseye: Opportunity to have progeny with 100% certainty once every month!]

[Note: The prosperity of a family depends on its population, keep up the good work, Host!]

[Activate Family Luck Value!]

[Family Luck Value: Varies daily based on the performance of the family!] [Factors Include: Prosperity, order, population, cultivation base, strength, talent, depth, education, wealth…!]

[Family Luck Value: You can get 387 luck points tomorrow!]

The many features opened by the system this time filled Xu Mu with great joy.

“Three hundred and eighty-seven points!!! That’s more than all my achievements combined!”

“It seems like I took the wrong approach before, I just need to focus on steady family growth going forward. No need to run around in search of female companions!”

Looking everywhere for female companions is not only risky but also difficult to manage when numbers grow. What if a palace intrigue arises?

Continuing to grow like this, this kind of worry will eventually become a reality.

The system upgrade now gives him a better option.

Use Luck Value to enhance various skills, use those skills to enhance the family’s strength in all areas. As the family’s strength grows, so will the Luck Value he receives, forming a virtuous cycle.

He can remain behind the scenes, greatly improving safety.

Who wouldn’t want to stay safe and stable instead of running around?

Of course, it doesn’t mean he will stop seeking a companion, just that it won’t be as urgent or indiscriminate as before.

Aside from Family Luck Value, the newly acquired talent is also a huge surprise.

“With this hundred-percent-accuracy talent, I’ll never have to worry about offspring again!”

Given his age, even if he wanted a hundred more, let alone a thousand, one per month would not be a problem.

This is like getting another steady source of Luck Value.

While Family Luck Value is now accessible, achievements can still be earned.

It’s like getting double the return for the same amount of effort.

Things with the two families that previously bothered him, now suddenly improved his mood a lot. Even looking at Chi Feiyan became more pleasing to the eye.

This time he didn’t wait for her to seduce him, Xu Mu knocked her out twice, greatly expanding both the entrances, making Chi Feiyan so happy that she nearly flew to the sky. She thought Xu Mu forgave her.

“These are pills! Sell them!”

Xu Mu handed over all the Foundation Establishment Pills and Stay Age Pills to

Chi Feiyan. These pills would suffice her sales for a long time.

“I don’t want to see a repeat of last time’s incident!”

He couldn’t resist to remind her in the end.

The previous time was good luck; he had just received the news and their opponent’s strength was not strong.

If she is ambushed next time, he might not be able to make it in time.

Although his strength is now more than tenfold what it was before, he can’t guarantee to deal with the next crisis one hundred percent.

“Master, don’t worry!”

Chi Feiyan nodded.

She felt the same lingering fears about last time’s incident, even without Xu

Mu’s reminder, she would be extra careful.

“Master, can you help keep an eye on the marketplace while I’m away?”

Her selling the pills this time would probably take a while. If there isn’t a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator present, in case a fourth-tier monster beast enters the marketplace, it could cause massive damage.

“Rest assured! I’ve already informed Tan’er, and from nowon, she will stay here permanently!” said Xu Mu.

“It’s great that Tan’er can come!”

Chi Feiyan’s face lit up with joy, but her heart felt somewhat sour.

Even though Si Tan’er’s cultivation base and means were not as good as hers, she was the one Xu Mu married in public. Everyone in Liyang City knew this, ’ while she was just a lover who couldn’t be shown in public.

After Chi Feiyan left, Xu Mu asked servants to collect all secret manuals relating to formations from within the family and the marketplace.

Simply having Si Tan’er, at the beginning stage of Foundation Establishment, was not enough. He planned to spend this time learning formations and set up defensive arrays in the marketplace before leaving, to ensure the complete safety of the entire marketplace.
