Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

As the mysterious energy within Luo Qingchen continually entered Xu Mu, Xu Mu’s cultivation, spirit, and body began to undergo a profound transformation, increasingly advancing towards the Foundation Establishment Stage, his aura growing stronger.

His foundation was originally stout, unmatched by anyone in the entire Tianhe Sect, thus his advancement naturally caused massive changes.

However, while advancing, he noticed that Luo Qingchen’s aura was continually weakening. Although the extent of the weakening was slow, it indicated an essential reduction.

If this continued, even if Luo Qingchen didn’t die, she would be completely ruined for the rest of her life.

It was clear; she was sacrificing herself for Xu Mu’s sake.

“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine once I consume some Pills afterward.”

Luo Qingchen responded with a weak smile.

Xu Mu didn’t respond, His eyes flickered and he began using the Secret Skill of Yin and Yang Harmony, returning the energy within him back to Luo Qingchen.

“Junior Brother, what are you doing? Stop!”

Feeling the strange activity within her, Luo Qingchen’s face turned pale with fright.

She felt both moved and anxious.

Such a force conversion is irreversible. Xu Mu returning his power back to her not only doesn’t help her but mixes both of their auras together, making her lifebound spiritual power chaotic. If she doesn’t advance it’s fine but if she does and it infiltrates her body, then it would be even more troublesome.

This could potentially become a huge obstacle on her cultivation path in the future.

“Junior Brother, the way you’re going, neither of us will be able to move forward in our Foundation Establishment stages. It might even cause major trouble!”

Luo Qingchen was anxious to stop him, but she was no match for Xu Mu.

“Senior Sister, don’t worry, I have a plan.”

“What kind of plan can you possibly have? You used to be obedient, why so defiant now?”

What kind of statement was that?

Xu Mu didn’t want to continue arguing with Luo Qingchen.

“Senior Sister, feel it first, then talk.”

“What do you mean?”

Luo Qingchen was somewhat puzzled but, feeling the energy continuing to pour into her body, she had no choice but to refine it.

Only when the refining started did she realize that such energy is incredibly pure, and it flawlessly merged into her body.

No, it’s as if the energy originally belonged to her, and now it had just become purer and returned to her body.

She was incredibly shocked!

Who was the cauldron now?

“Junior Brother, how did you manage this?”

“Don’t ask so many questions, just focus on your cultivation!”

“Will this affect you in any way?”

Luo Qingchen asked, worried.

No one is a fool; she was willing to sacrifice herself out of guilt, considering Xu Mu as a younger brother. But if she can save herself, she naturally wouldn’t want to give up.

“Don’t worry!”

Xu Mu revealed his aura. Luo Qingchen found that it wasn’t weakening, but rather continually rising.

However, their states seemed more like cooperating in refining the bloodline energy in her body.

Upon realizing that there was no effect on her, she finally relaxed her mind, concentrated on increasing her cultivation, relied on this energy to temper herself, and advanced towards Foundation Establishment.

“Junior Brother Xu! Junior Brother Xu!”

The voice of Li Heng echoed from outside.

“Senior Brother, I am currently cultivating and it’s not convenient for me to go out.”

Xu Mu barely managed to split his focus, sending a message to Li Heng outside.

“Oh oh! I got it!”

Li Heng had just woken up from a drunken stupor, completely unaware of what had happened earlier. He assumed Xu Mu could not wait to advance using the Foundation Establishment Pill.

“You just focus on cultivating inside, I’ll protect you!”

“Thankyou, Senior Brother!”

Xu Mu responded sincerely with gratitude.

With Formation as protection, he wasn’t worried about being disturbed by other people.

Although the Formation wasn’t strong, within the Sect, no one would randomly break someone else’s formation.

The only one he was worried about was Shang YaoYao. She had the spell to open the Formation, and if she was to carelessly burst in and saw both of them, it would be troublesome.

Don’t get the wrong idea; there’s nothing going on, he was just afraid that she would disturb their cultivation.

Now that Li Heng was outside guarding them, he could finally relax.

“By the way, Junior Brother, have you seen Senior Sister?”

Li Heng asked, his tone laced with a trace of worry.

“Uh?”

Just as Xu Mu was considering whether to answer him, Luo Qingchen whispered in his ear, “Don’t tell him I’m here.”

“Why?”

“Don’t ask so many questions. Just tell him that I’ve gone to see Master!”

“Alright!”

Although he didn’t quite understand, he still nodded in agreement.

“Senior Sister went to find our Master and is not on the mountain.”

“Oh!”

Li Heng let out a sigh of relief, without any suspicion.

As their blood powers were constantly being refined, they entered the deepest state of cultivation. When their spirits started to advance into Divine Intent, their consciousness fell into a deep sleep, the martial methods within their bodies started working automatically, circulating and alternating within their bodies.

Xu Mu didn’t know how long had passed before he gradually woke up from his deep slumber.

Looking around, he found the ground covered with a thin layer of dust, indicating that a significant amount of time had passed.

There was no one else in the room, with no footprints on the ground, which showed that no one had come in during this time.

Luo Qingchen was still sitting there, with them still in very close contact.

Xu Mu was startled and hastily separated himself from her.

Luckily, none of the bizarre things he had imagined had happened. There was only a large amount of liquid that had seeped out.

When did this happen? Did it happen whilst they were in an unconscious state?

I wonder if this clone has the natural talent to hit the mark every time?

What should I do if something has happened?

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Luo Qingchen also woke up due to the signs of his movement.

“Junior Brother, it’s my fault this time. Whatever that’s left, I will return it to you later!”

That’s not what I meant.

I…

Just as Xu Mu was about to say something, Shang YaoYao’s voice came from outside.

“Junior Brother, have you finished your cultivation?”

Her voice caused Luo Qingchen to become instantly panicked, as if she had been caught in an affair.

“Junior Brother, you must never let Junior sister find out!”

“Why?”

“If she finds out, your chances of joining a large family will be completely shattered.”

The reason big families and large forces are willing to pay a high price to recruit him was because he was alone.

If he had a family, the cost of recruitment would definitely decrease significantly.

Xu Mu frowned slightly. It had reached this point, wouldn’t it be too unfair to Luo Qingchen if they didn’t announce it?

But if he acknowledged it, just as Luo Qingchen said, without the support of a large family, his future path to promotion would probably become much more difficult.

Women really do only affect the speed of my cultivation!

Xu Mu muttered to himself in his heart and decided not to spread this news for the time being.

“I got it, senior sister! Hide first. I’ll go out and lead them away, then you can take the opportunity to leave!”

“Okay!”

Luo Qingchen nodded her head, but there was an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

She had thought Xu Mu would not agree, and put on a dramatic show of choosing love over power. But now, it seemed that Junior brother had a clear distinction, or to say, her position in his heart was not as important as she had imagined.

Women are really strange, clearly wanting something but saying they don’t want it.

They want you to guess!

Xu Mu guessed Luo Qingchen’s thoughts, but decided not to act on them.

His clone had an objective and was not here to engage in romance. So, he would do whatever was beneficial for him.

After Luo Qingchen hid herself, Xu Mu activated the formation and left first.

Shang YaoYao was sitting in the yard with nothing to do, as soon as she saw Xu Mu, her face lit up with joy, which quickly turned into anger, just like flipping a book.

“You idiot, why are you so stupid? Can’t you wait for me to come back before advancing? If you forcefully advance without the Foundation Establishment Pill, it will affect your future cultivation!”

“Thank you for your concern, senior sister, I know what I’m doing.”

“You know nothing!”

Shang YaoYao scolded Xu Mu and took his arm to check his internal condition.

If you don’t look, you wouldn’t know, and she was startled once she did.

His cultivation had almost perfectly advanced, his body was pure, his spiritual power was pure, his Divine Intent was formidable, and it was even stronger than hers when she took the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

“How did you do it? Did you take some kind of heavenly treasures?”

“Yes!”

He was just about to explain, but hadn’t expected Shang YaoYao to have already guessed it for him.

“Where did you… Forget it!”

She originally wanted to ask Xu Mu where he got the treasure, but thinking about it, the protection of such treasure was probably not ordinary, and there might be some secrets involved. Better not to ask.

“It’s good that you could advance. I was previously thinking about where to find a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill for you. Now it saves me a lot of trouble.”

“Thank you for your concern, senior sister!” Xu Mu said with a smile.

He could feel that she genuinely wanted to help him.

“Who cares about you! Humph!”

Shang YaoYao’s face turned slightly red as she huffed.

“By the way, have you considered which force to join?”

“Senior sister, you’ve been so good to me, I might as well join the Shang family!”

“Really?”

“No!”
