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

Chapter 139: Clash of Medicinal Powers

"Seventh rank? Interesting!" Xu Mu opened the system and checked.

Due to the inheritance of the jade slip, after receiving the information, the system not only displayed it directly, but also gained over a hundred experience points.

Seventh rank spells are not easy to find, and this Profound Yin Corpse Refining Technique encompasses Myriad Manifestations, which can be said to be several techniques in one.

If Xu Mu were to cultivate the path of corpse refining, this spell would definitely be considered a divine technique.

Unfortunately, the cultivation method he practiced was completely different from the path of corpse refining. If he were to switch, it wouldn't make much of a difference from starting over.

So he didn't even consider it.

After quickly browsing through the information of the Profound Yin Corpse Refining Technique in his mind from beginning to end, Xu Mu quickly found the information he was looking for.

"Set up a reversal formation... Use a special silver needle artifact... Place it in a place with abundant yang energy..."

There are many methods to solve similar dilemmas, but there are not many that fit his current situation.

In the end, he only found one that barely suited him.

"Administer a pill that repels the attributes of the corpse, disrupting its absorption of Yin energy, while assisting with external forces to attack from both inside and outside."

Because he cultivated a fire attribute technique, he did have some auxiliary fire attribute pills on him. However, those were only third or fourth rank pills, which were barely enough for his own cultivation. They were clearly insufficient to counteract the Yin energy within the corpse.

After all, the cultivation of this corpse was already comparable to the Gold Core stage, and its original foundation was even at the Nascent Soul stage. Both the speed of energy absorption and the energy contained within far surpassed Xu Mu.

However, since Xu Mu had chosen this method, there must be a feasible aspect to it.

Because he also had another precious pill that was comparable to the sixth rank.

"He Huan Pill!"

Xu Mu obtained these pills from Mu Yunwan. He had over thirty bottles of them, and they were pills specifically used to cultivate the Qi gathering path.

Once consumed, the cauldron would lose control over its own vitality, making it convenient for the cultivator to gather Qi. At the same time, it would confuse and bewilder the opponent, causing them to lose their will to resist.

These pills were not only of the Yang attribute, but also highly potent. Regardless of gender, once consumed, it would be difficult to resist.

If one forcefully resisted, they would be incinerated by the medicinal power.

Mu Yunwan was in the later stage of Foundation Building, and her mother was a Nascent Soul stage expert. Naturally, they wouldn't use inferior pills. These pills were very precious, but their effects were too specialized, which was why Xu Mu had been unable to deal with them.

The corpse in front of him was filled with Yin energy, completely opposite to these pills.

If consumed, they should be able to counteract the Yin energy.

"Let's try a few first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."

Saying so, Xu Mu took out a pink pill and reached out to hold the corpse's lower jaw, preparing to directly stuff it in.

The result...

"Seriously? You're already dead and you're still biting so tightly!"

But come to think of it, the mouth of a dead person does seem quite tight.

Xu Mu wanted to use force, but as soon as he exerted strength, a black light curtain appeared, bouncing his hand away. Black malevolent energy also surged out, attempting to attack him. Xu Mu quickly retreated and used thunder to drive away the Yin energy.

Clearly, when his strength reached a certain level, the corpse would mistake him for a threat and instinctively counterattack.

Soft methods didn't work, and neither did hard methods. This posed a bit of a challenge for him!

The person who invented this method probably didn't expect to be stumped by a mouth in the end.

If it were an ordinary corpse, he could forcefully pry it open. However, the black light curtain on this corpse was quite eerie, leaving Xu Mu at a loss.

Xu Mu furrowed his brows, constantly pondering. Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and his brows quickly relaxed. He had an idea in his mind.

If the front passage doesn't work, why not try the back passage?

The large intestine should also have absorption capabilities.

"I truly am a genius!"

Xu Mu boasted for a moment, then bowed to the corpse to apologize.

"Elder, I am also doing this for the sake of the world. Please bear with it!"

After apologizing, Xu Mu tried it out with a clear conscience, unexpectedly achieving smooth results.

"No wonder it's a Nascent Soul stage corpse, the skin is thick!" Xu Mu exclaimed.

Although the pill was small, it was usually very difficult.

As the pill entered, the slightly trembling corpse began to react violently, but quickly calmed down.

"It's effective!"

Xu Mu could clearly feel the weakening of the corpse's Yin energy, indicating that although she could neutralize the power of the pill, she had also experienced a lot of consumption herself. The most important thing was that this internal damage did not trigger an extreme reaction from her.

Since it was feasible, Xu Mu didn't hold back and started taking one pill after another, with extremely fast movements.

To ensure success in one go, Xu Mu prepared to use twenty bottles.

According to the effect of each pill, this amount was enough to support the later stages of the Gold Core realm.

While Xu Mu was working hard, the recently ingested pills had already started to take effect. The Yin energy inside the corpse began to fluctuate violently, trying to dissipate it or expel it from the body. Unfortunately, it encountered Xu Mu, who was cautious and careful. The pills were taken one after another, and the corpse didn't have time to neutralize them at all.

As the medicinal power accumulated, the situation quickly changed from being passively attacked to actively counterattacking, scattering the Yin energy inside the corpse.

Xu Mu noticed this situation, but in order to achieve a permanent solution, he didn't let go.

The medicinal power attacked and occupied, infiltrating every part of the body.

"This should be fine!"

Looking at the complete absence of the cold aura and any movement, Xu Mu felt relieved.

Originally, he still needed to cooperate and take action, but now with enough pills, he was spared the trouble.

"Although I have avoided the corpse transformation, staying here is likely to repeat the same mistakes, and—"

It's too wasteful!

I've used so many pills, I can't afford to lose money, right?

A Nascent Soul stage corpse is quite valuable!

Otherwise, why would I be so kind-hearted?

He reached out and grabbed the corpse's clothes, easily lifting it up. It seemed that with the disappearance of the Yin energy, the little instinctual spirituality on the corpse also disappeared.

Just as Xu Mu was about to pack it up and take it away, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a look of longing. While Xu Mu was startled, he felt something was wrong. When he tried to let go and dodge, the corpse suddenly grabbed him, holding him firmly like a pair of iron tongs.

Before Xu Mu could resist, a scorching power surged in.

"Uh-oh!"

Xu Mu shouted in his mind, realizing that the power was the same as the Hehuan Pill he had just used. Unexpectedly, the other party had reversed control and injected it into his body.

This corpse is really eerie!

It was too late for regrets now. Xu Mu could only use his cultivation to desperately resist.

However, this power was too overwhelming and quickly penetrated every part of his body.

Under the pressure of this immense force, Xu Mu completely lost control, and his rationality was overwhelmed.

Whether it was a corpse or a living person, the medicinal power had to be vented.

The secret technique of Yin and Yang harmony was also affected and automatically activated. Under the coordination of the immense medicinal and spiritual powers, a perfect cycle was formed.

Under the driving force of the power, Xu Mu's cultivation rapidly improved, breaking through the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage and continuing to climb, finally reaching the eighth level of the Foundation Building stage before slowing down.

After a long time, Xu Mu finally regained consciousness from this absurd situation.

At the same time, the voice of the system in his mind sounded.
