Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 112: Seeking Refuge in the Open Sea

Open Sea

Mist Island

In the midst of thick fog, a bolt of lightning cut through the void and abruptly stopped, standing on the surface of the sea.

"Finally arrived! I'm so exhausted!"

Comparing the sea chart, Xu Mu confirmed that he had completely left the Cangming Sea area and entered the chaotic open sea zone. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of well ropes for ten years!

After almost being captured by the Luo family relying on the Deer Spirit Technique, Xu Mu found it difficult to believe that everything had been thoroughly dealt with.

A Nascent Soul stage power, who knows what means they have.

So after leaving the Illusory Sea City, he didn't return to the Windchase City, but headed straight to the open sea like a startled bird, preparing to seek refuge overseas.

Even if he is caught when the time comes, he can just shatter his divine soul and die. It shouldn't involve his family.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the promise to Luan'er."

Xu Mu sighed.

Originally, he planned to sell the pills this time and accompany her to find her sister.

Now it seems that he may not be able to go back for several years.

Even the chance of going back is a question.

This world is too dangerous!

Originally, he thought the Cangming Sea area was a peaceful and stable place, but now he realizes that the premise of peace and stability is that you have to abide by the rules here.

The overall structure of the Cangming Sea area is not much different from the Tianhe Sect, it's just that because it is at a higher level, the lower levels appear to be more free and relaxed.

But when it comes to the higher levels and involves huge interests, the way the Cangming Sea area deals with things is no different from the Tianhe Sect.

This is human nature!

If they didn't do this, the three major powers would have been overthrown long ago!

The lower class is destined to be exploited. If you don't want to be exploited, you have to face great risks.

Whether it's in the past or in this life, this has never changed!

This time, even if he luckily didn't encounter Mu Yunwan, he will still encounter Ma Yunwan, Niu Yunwan next time.

The big shots who profit from the Resplendent Youth Pill may not care, but the small fries won't let it go.

From Mu Yunwan's memories, Xu Mu learned that Mu Yunwan was in charge of selling pills in the Illusory Sea City. Although it was just a nominal position, she received a considerable share.

Xu Mu selling pills in the Illusory Sea City is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth!

In fact, he had been targeted since the beginning, but his traces were not caught at first.

As for Mu Yunwan saying that his methods were not worth mentioning, it was just giving herself face.

In fact, at the last moment, she only suspected Xu Mu and didn't completely conclude that it was him.

That's why she made a probing move and forced him to sign the contract, otherwise she would have taken him down directly.

If Xu Mu had revealed his identity as a disciple of the Four Seas Immortal Palace at that time and brought up Nan Gong Suyi's name, perhaps the crisis could have been resolved in a different way.

But Xu Mu was too stubborn about hiding his identity and didn't even think in that direction, choosing to take direct action.

Mu Yunwan's cultivation level itself is not strong. Without external help, Xu Mu is 90% confident that he can kill her.

But unfortunately, he kicked an iron plate!

With the means given by Mu Yuchan, a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, even if Xu Mu is only at the Foundation Building stage, I'm afraid he can only kneel if he is an ordinary Gold Core stage cultivator.

In this regard, he can't complain about losing.

It's just that he was unlucky.

"No matter what, this time I was beaten by society again."

"After surviving this disaster, I must be more careful!"

As for giving up selling pills, that's impossible!

"But before the next operation, I should try to learn a secret technique to hide my tracks, preferably to the point where even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can't do anything to me!"

This kind of top-level secret technique is difficult to obtain, otherwise Xu Mu would have found it long ago.

However, there is some hope of finding it in the open sea.

The open sea is a paradise for robbery cultivators, assassins, demonic cultivators, evil cultivators, ghost cultivators, and even monster cultivators.

Among these people, many have offended the three major forces. If they don't have a means to hide their traces, they would have been killed long ago.

And in such a chaotic place, hiding oneself is almost a required course.

Xu Mu put away the sea chart, controlled his cultivation at the Qi Refining stage, and flew towards the nearest Misty Island.

According to the description on the map, Misty Island is a small island with a length and width of less than a hundred miles. It is remote and has thin spiritual energy, with only a few low-level cultivators residing there.

Because there is fog covering the island for most of the year, it is called Misty Island.

When Xu Mu flew to the island, most of the fog had already dissipated. He flew around the entire island first to confirm that the residents on the island were all at the Qi Refining stage. Then he chose an uninhabited mountain with thin spiritual energy and landed.

There are a few small spiritual veins on the island, but they are all occupied by others. Although he could easily seize them with his strength, Xu Mu didn't want to cause trouble for a little bit of pitiful spiritual energy as a newcomer.

During the years of deep communication with Lan Shijin, he also learned some basic knowledge of formations, so it was no problem for him to set up a small Spirit Gathering formation.

The spiritual energy gathered by a small Spirit Gathering formation far exceeds that of a small spiritual vein.

Moreover, cultivators in the open sea like to hide. No one can be sure if a seemingly Qi Refining stage wandering cultivator is actually a Gold Core or Nascent Soul expert disguising themselves.

He himself is a living example!

"Sword, come out!"

Xu Mu formed a hand seal, and a red sword light flew out from his storage bag.

This was a fourth-grade fire attribute flying sword he used as a facade. It was just right for opening up a cave.

Under the fourth-grade spiritual sword, the hard rocks were as fragile as tofu. Xu Mu easily opened up a spacious cave.

After clearing away all the rubble, Xu Mu took out the tools for setting up formations and arranged a concealment formation at the entrance of the cave.

Although it was only a second-grade formation, it was enough to deceive ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators.

After stepping into it, Xu Mu first pasted solidification talismans on the walls to increase their defensive power. Then he successively set up two layers of concealment formations and one layer of defensive formation, feeling slightly safer.

After meditating and cultivating for a while, Xu Mu lay on the stone bed and slept for two days. Only then did he feel completely refreshed. He took out a jade box from his bosom, formed a hand seal, and removed the seal on it.

Excited and nervous, he opened the lid of the jade box.

Inside was an exquisite storage bag embroidered with a red flower.

It was Mu Yunwan's storage bag!

When he first left Fantasia City, Xu Mu was too focused on running as far away as possible and didn't have time to carefully examine it.

On the other hand, he was worried that someone had tampered with it and was afraid of being noticed if he opened it rashly.

To be on the safe side, he specially sealed it in a jade box used to seal spiritual objects.

To be honest, at first, he planned to discard the storage bag.

But...

Greed!

People die for wealth, birds die for food.

Even he couldn't escape this.

Considering the two priceless treasures on Mu Yunwan's body, he couldn't bear to throw them away.

He risked his life to bring them with him!

Of course, he wasn't so greedy that he would give up his life for them.

Through Mu Yunwan's memories, he already knew that there were no marks on the storage bag, but Mu Yunwan's body had a special method of leaving a positioning mark by Mu Yuchan.

However, Mu Yunwan's body was thrown into the sea when they just left the city, and by now, it should have been completely devoured by the fish.

The reason he hadn't opened it yet was just out of caution and carefulness.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, and he wasn't caught up by anyone, proving that there were indeed no marks on this storage bag.

Moreover, now he was tens of thousands of miles away from Fantasia City, even a Soul Formation stage cultivator wouldn't be able to sense it. Xu Mu could finally feel completely at ease.

After experiencing a life and death crisis, he finally reached the moment of harvest!

Because the original owner had already died, Xu Mu easily refined it and then took out the contents one by one.

A purple handkerchief!

I apologize to everyone for the previous few chapters, but because it was a long-buried foreshadowing, the plot couldn't progress without writing it, so even though I knew I would be scolded, I still wrote it! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I will correct it in the future! Regardless of whether the book is abandoned or not, I sincerely apologize to everyone here!
