Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 216: Chapter 185: Treatment at Li Fire Sect_1

Boom!

Shen Zhong’s body was enveloped by molten magma that rapidly expanded, quickly transforming him into a dozens of feet tall molten video giant. The legal sword in his hand was also covered by molten magma and transformed into a continuously billowing molten giant sword.

At this moment, Shen Zhong’s aura and power had increased several times over from before, causing even some Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to feel a tremor in their hearts.

“Not only does he possess a special bloodline, but he also has two types, and they’ve fused. What an extraordinary talent!”

Elders of the Plum Blossom Sect couldn’t help but lavish praise.

“Bloodline cultivators indeed have an advantage in the early stages, but in the later stages, if the bloodline cannot be purified, it will instead become an impediment!”

An elder from Spirit Snake Valley disregarded it with a snide remark, but a trace

of envy emerged in his heart.

Although bloodlines can hinder the cultivation process, they provide a significant advantage in battle.

For example, Shen Zhong in front of them effortlessly elevated his power by several times, with the only cost being a period of weakness afterwards.

This kind of innate ability, which grows as cultivation improves and surpasses most divine skills, who wouldn’t envy that?!

The sect master of Tianhe Sect remained silent, his gaze turned towards Lu Baiyu.

Even though Lu Baiyu does not possess any special bloodlines, he has his own ace up his sleeve.

“Now this is interesting!”

On Lu Baiyu’s handsome face, a smile that can captivate women emerged. His hands formed various seals at a swift pace while he constantly muttered a spell.

The next moment, countless flying swords about the size of palms flew out from his storage bag. The number was so great they could hardly be counted.

Gulp, gulp!

The disciples watching the battle below couldn’t help but gulp.

Are you kidding me?

Normally, a Qi Cultivation master can control two or three magic artifacts at most, that’s considered very impressive.

Control thousands or even tens of thousands?

You’re kidding me, right?!

Even those at the Golden Core Stage couldn’t do it!

“Could it be Sword Qi?”

Someone guessed, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone hit him on the head.

“Who stores Sword Qi in their storage bag? Besides, storing Sword Qi in advance is a serious violation. Do you think he would do such a stupid thing?”

“Then, what’s happening right before our eyes?”

The disciple pointed to the flying swords in the sky and defiantly asked the other guy to explain.

“Hmm? He should be using a combination magic artifact refinement technique, paired with a control compass, to achieve such a scale!”

The older disciple guessed.

“But no matter how many methods he uses, this disciple achieving such effects

is quite terrifying!”

A thousand flying swords, who could resist that?!

Shen Zhong also realized something was wrong.

If he really let Lu Baiyu launch an attack, even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators might get injured.

Shen Zhong couldn’t afford to hesitate. He immediately launched an attack on Lu Baiyu while he was still gathering flying swords.

Swoosh!

Lu Baiyu smiled lightly, his hands conjuring a changing array. The flying swords, like the scales of a fish, turned into a giant maw that blocked Shen Zhong’s attack and swiftly swallowed him and his sword.

Sizzling!

A harsh grinding sound echoed along with Shen Zhong’s furious roar constantly coming from inside.

Rumble!

Every bite of the giant maw was like countless flying swords attacking Shen Zhong. In just a few breaths, the counterattack from inside had become weak.

The presiding elder, who was constantly observing the situation, quickly spoke

up.

“That’s enough! If this continues, both of you will get injured.”

This type of attack, while powerful, also placed a lot of strain on the user. If it continued, Shen Zhong might lose his life, and Lu Baiyu could get injured.

“Understood.”

Lu Baiyu responded and called back the flying swords that filled the sky.

Whoosh!

Shen Zhong’s figure emerged, breathing heavily. The molten rock covering his body had disappeared, and he had reverted to his original form. However, his clothes were damaged, his body had several wounds, and his aura became extremely weak. It was obvious that the battle had taken a toll on him.

“Brother Lu is truly powerful. I concede,” Shen Zhong said, smiling and bowing his hand in respect.

“Brother Shen is too kind.”

Lu Baiyu returned the compliment with a smile.

With the elder announcing the result, this match officially came to an end. “Thousands of flying swords? How’s that fair when there’s nowhere to hide? This is obviously cheating!” Li Heng complained.

“Senior brother Xu, do you want me to get you a better flying sword?” Qi Yue asked.

If he could get a top-tier combination magic artifact, Xu Mu’s attack power could increase several times over.

“No need!”

Xu Mu laughed it off.

The stronger the opponent, the better for him.

One freakishly strong talent might stick out like a sore thumb, but if there are two, it becomes the norm.

Besides, this would allow him to expose more of his talents and level up faster to get the Heavenly Water he wanted.

just as they were about to leave, a large group of clans showed up again, wishing to recruit him to their families.

Even though Xu Mu was a disciple of the Tianhe Sect, he could still join other clans because those clans were part of the Tianhe Sect.

Most clans in the Tianhe Sect’s region were actually split from Tianhe Sect and after long-term development, some became large clans while others were completely extinguished.

Anyway, they were all one big family, and as long as Xu Mu didn’t join clans like the Plum Blossom Sect and Ling Shegu, it wouldn’t be a big issue.

Many Tianhe Sect elders were backed by clans, and many clans sent their descendants to the Tianhe Sect, making them inseparable entities.

To Xu Mu, Tianhe Sect was more like the court of that region.

This time, almost all known clans showed up. Except for the Shang family, regular Golden Core families and sects, even the Li Fire Sect came, offering him the status of an honorary Supreme Elder and 50% of the resources to advance to the Golden Core stage.

This was not surprising, the Li Fire Sect was quite powerful, ranking in the top ten amongst all the clans, and inviting Xu Mu, who was talented, was quite normal to them.

Of course, it was in name only, unless necessary, they would not require him to actually do anything. They did so mainly to curry favor, as an investment waiting for Xu Mu to advance to the Golden Core Stage and become a high-level member of the Tianhe Sect so that he could return the favor.

Xu Mu was already in the final round, and his future advancement to the Golden Core Stage was almost guaranteed, which is why they made such an offer now.

Many sects would do their utmost to cultivate their disciples.

Because Xu Mu was not of direct descent.

The highest bidder was, unsurprisingly, the Cao Family.

For one, they had substantial power, ranking top of the clans under the Tianhe Sect, plus they were rich. They controlled 30% of the Tianhe Sect’s businesses, with several large trading fleets venturing to the Middle Domain every year, earning them a massive number of Spirit Stones.

The Cao Family offered to marry a talented daughter from their family to him and provide 70% of the resources to advance to the Golden Core stage. The only requirement was for him to marry into their family.

Of course, Xu Mu declined. He knew that after winning tomorrow, they would offer even better terms.

When he returned to the Lonely Sword Peak, he didn’t have dinner but went straight to his room.

He didn’t need to eat because the effects of the Yellow Dragon Pill he had in the morning hadn’t worn off.

“What took you so long? You didn’t agree with anyone, did you?” Shang YaoYao asked as Xu Mu entered the room.

Xu Mu was speechless.

He remembered that he had activated the formations when he left his room.

Oh! He forgot! The formation in his room was arranged by Shang YaoYao who must have left a backdoor.

“Miss, it’s a big deal if someone discovers that you’ve suddenly appeared in my room,” Xu Mu said.

Things had changed; he was now famous. Scandalous rumors of a bachelor and a single woman together would cause an uproar, and the Cao family might come knocking at the door.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been very careful. Besides, my father allowed me to come. Besides, I’m a disciple of the Lonely Sword Peak too, what’s wrong with visiting my fellow disciple?”

There was nothing wrong, but sneaking into his room was the problem.

“Spit it out. What’s the issue? Hurry up and go when you’re done,” a helpless Xu Mu said.

“Do you really hate me that much now? Have you forgotten how I cared for you like a mother?” Shang YaoYao said exaggeratedly, angered and wronged.

II II

Where did she learn that from? It could easily be misunderstood!

Xu Mu was speechless.

Well she wasn’t entirely wrong. He was only eleven when he came to the mountain, and Shang YaoYao did take care of him. Although those were help she forcefully imposed.

“Fine, just quickly state your conditions,” Xu Mu said.

He knew without having to guess that shang YaoYao was playing the emotions card.

Since Shang Lian allowed Shang YaoYao to the meeting, the goal was self- evident.

“Hehe!”

Shang YaoYao immediately broke into a chuckle.

“Look at this, I fought hard for it. We’re going to be family soon!”
