Chapter 134: Growing Up

After leaving the central castle, Xu Mu changed his appearance multiple times to ensure that there was no tracking or traces left behind before returning the same way.

"This woman actually waited outside!" Xu Mu originally wanted to directly return to his cave on Misty Island, but he saw Zhang Tianluo sitting on the nearby island's reef like a fool, waiting for him.

When Xu Mu approached her with his invisibility technique, she didn't notice him at all.

"This bastard, idiot, fool, why is he so slow? Did something happen? Should I go check? What's it to me? It would be better if he died! No, he hasn't taught me the techniques yet, I still need..."

"What else?" Xu Mu suddenly appeared, startling Zhang Tianluo.

When she realized it was Xu Mu, her face suddenly showed joy, but then quickly restrained it and returned to a face of disdain.

"I still want to teach you a lesson, you scoundrel! Hmph!"

"Just based on you, you think you can teach me a lesson? Do you believe I can take care of you right now?"

"I don't believe it, if you dare, come at me!"

"..."

Looking at Zhang Tianluo, who had already learned to take off her robe on her own initiative, Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.

He couldn't help but give her a heavy knock on the head and said, "You little brat, you're quite bold now! But I still have things to do, I'll deal with you next time!"

"No! You coward! Bastard! Coward..."

"..."

Xu Mu couldn't be bothered to argue with this stubborn mouth, so after sending her back, he hurried towards Misty Island to prepare to improve his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body.

The reason he didn't go to defend the stronger Black Tide Island was because he couldn't completely trust Xu Yiren, and he was also worried about unexpected situations.

If there were really factions causing trouble, Black Tide Island would definitely be the first target.

So it was safer to stay in his own little world!

After returning to Misty Island, Xu Mu activated all the defensive formations and opened the system to check.

[Luck Value: 21,105]

Xu Mu had long given up on cultivating skills below the fourth rank, because even if they were at the third rank or higher, they were of limited use to him now.

He was wholeheartedly focused on cultivation and alchemy, and didn't have the energy or time to cultivate other skills.

Except for the recent increase in Luck value from improving his necromancy, all the other points had accumulated over time. Even the escape skill Flame Thunder Wings hadn't improved much.

The reason for not improving it was because he encountered a situation similar to when he first learned Light Body Technique. Various external resistances made the input and output disproportionate. Continuing to invest Luck value wouldn't increase his speed much, but the consumption of Luck value would increase.

It was better to improve the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, which would not only enhance his strength but also promote the improvement of Flame Thunder Wings.

And he also had to consider changing cultivation techniques in the future and investing in mystical gate techniques with higher returns.

For example, the Twelve Startling Awakening Technique, after integrating the bloodline of the Illusory Thunder Silver Shark, would easily allow him to obtain the sixth rank proficient level of the Illusory Thunder Divine Ability.

Moreover, it was a skill that would rise with his cultivation. As long as his cultivation improved, the Illusory Thunder Divine Ability would naturally improve.

Compared to simply improving Thunder Control or Fire Control Divine Abilities, it was much more cost-effective.

To be honest, with the improvement of his cultivation, many originally powerful skills had become useless.

For example, Fire Control Technique, except for alchemy, it was rarely used. As for skills like Invisibility Technique and Light Body Technique, they were even less useful.

Even the beast souls that are about to reach the Blue Flame level can only be used for sneak attacks.

Foundation Building cultivators have divine sense, while Gold Core cultivators have more methods. Low-level spells and divine abilities are like tricks to them.

After reading the system, Xu Mu took out the Dragon Blood Sea Valley that the mysterious sea clan woman had traded with him, and then took out one and fed it to a randomly caught first-order Green Stripe Water Turtle.

After eating the Dragon Blood Valley, the turtle began to roll on the ground, convulsing and bleeding from its seven orifices before dying.

Xu Mu checked the turtle's body and confirmed that it was just an excessive amount of spiritual energy, so he felt relieved.

Although theoretically the other party had no reason to harm him, it was still better to be cautious. It's better to be safe than sorry.

After confirming that there was no problem, Xu Mu took out one and ate it.

The thousand-year-old Sea Valley was already similar to a spiritual object and could be eaten raw.

In fact, both Lingmi and Linggu can be eaten raw, but they are not easily digestible and don't taste good.

However, Xu Mu is a Body Refining cultivator and has the system's help, so there is not much difference between raw and cooked for him.

After the Dragon Blood Sea Valley entered his stomach, it was quickly absorbed and digested, becoming a continuous stream of spiritual energy that merged into his limbs and bones.

"Not bad! Such a small pill is comparable to a third-grade Yellow Dragon Pill, and it is easier to absorb, digest, and the energy is purer!"

Although the energy of one pill is very small, he has five hundred catties. If it were Yellow Dragon Pills, it would probably fill the entire cave.

Xu Mu was very satisfied with this result.

These Dragon Blood Sea Valleys are enough to elevate his Tianji Purple Thunder Body to the Master level.

Then, like eating rock candy, he swallowed hundreds or even thousands of Sea Valleys in one bite, while continuously adding points to the Tianji Purple Thunder Body through the system.

[Tianji Purple Thunder Body +10]!

[Tianji Purple Thunder Body +10]!

[Tianji Purple Thunder Body +10]!

...

The energy transformed from the Sea Valleys was quickly absorbed by the system, transforming into new energy and continuously remolding Xu Mu's body.

Crackling!

Golden thunder appeared, almost engulfing the entire cave.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Tianji Purple Thunder Body finally reached the Master level.

[Tianji Purple Thunder Body Master; 1/2.56w]!

Boom!

Endless golden thunder surged out from Xu Mu's body, like flowing gold, covering more than half of Xu Mu's body, and finally solidifying into a mighty and extraordinary armor.

In this promotion, besides the thunder completely turning into gold and the thunder clothes transforming into thunder armor, the originally surging might of the thunder also became more restrained, showing a trend of returning to simplicity.

"And there's this!"

Xu Mu took out the Thunderstrike Sword and infused it with energy, immediately covering the entire sword with thunder. It then continuously transformed into a giant thunder sword that stretched for several zhang (a Chinese unit of length equal to about 3.3 meters).

With a gentle swing, a terrifying sense of oppression emerged.

"Clearly I'm cultivating immortality, but I'm starting to resemble a warrior more and more!" Xu Mu self-mockingly said.

His cultivation progress was too slow, while his body refining progress was too fast, to the point where he had to engage in close combat in order to end battles quickly.

"I wonder how powerful it is and if I can exchange a few moves with someone at the Gold Core stage?"

In his previous Foundation Building stage, he was already considered one of the top existences. Now that he had made significant progress, theoretically, even if he couldn't win, the difference shouldn't be too great.

However, given Xu Mu's personality, even if he surpassed the Gold Core stage, he wouldn't randomly seek out someone to test his skills.

In addition to the improvement in strength, the two Divine Abilities related to the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, the Thunder Control and Flame Thunder Wings, had also experienced varying degrees of enhancement.

His lifespan had also increased to four hundred and twelve years.

Based on the situation, reaching five hundred years before breaking through to the Gold Core stage shouldn't be a problem.

After completing the improvement of the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, Xu Mu did not leave.

He still had a lot of Dragon Blood Sea Valley, which was definitely not enough to continue improving the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, but it was more than enough to improve the Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique.

As long as he could bring the Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique to perfection, he would be able to integrate the two bloodlines and further enhance his control over the Illusory Thunder Silver Shark bloodline.

However, it would be difficult to improve further after this round of enhancement.

Therefore, the remaining two bloodlines had to be carefully planned.

[Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique +10]!

[Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique +10]!

[Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique +10]!

...

[Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique perfected; 1/10,000]!

After completing the improvement, Xu Mu did not rush to find new monster blood for Integrated Union.

He didn't care about ordinary monsters, and the precious monster blood was not something that could be easily found, so even if he was in a hurry, it wouldn't help.

Of course, he wasn't idle either. He had already sent Xu Yiren to inquire about it.

At the same time, he also asked her to help collect the medicinal materials for refining the sixth-grade True Yuan Pill, preparing to refine the True Yuan Pill to break through the later stage of Foundation Building.

So he still needed to accumulate Luck value to improve his True Yuan Pill refining skills. There was no need to run around aimlessly.

As the days went by, Xu Mu spent his time either cultivating or going in and out of Xu Yiren and Zhang Tianluo's cave. With the continuous expansion, Xu Yiren became more and more mature and alluring, while Zhang Tianluo unexpectedly...

grew up!

I would appreciate it if the experts could provide an additional achievement!
