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

Chapter 148: Cracks Restored

"If you dare to do this again next time, I will never spare you!" Nan Gong Suyi said angrily.

There was a hint of embarrassment in her words. She didn't seem like a Gold Core expert who had lived for over 800 years.

"It's not my fault. Master said to use whatever skills I have!" Xu Mu said helplessly.

"You, how dare you say that!" Nan Gong Suyi's face turned red with anger.

Having lived for over 800 years, she was actually teased by a junior descendant.

Thinking of the scene where he babbled and begged for mercy, she felt even more ashamed.

Having lived for over 800 years, if even she couldn't resist, who else in the world could? When the time comes, it's probably difficult for Mo Wuxin to escape as well.

Knowing Mo Wuxin very well, she knew that he wasn't as cold and arrogant as he appeared on the surface. In fact, he was very sensitive deep down. It was likely that as soon as Xu Mu entered, he would capture his heart.

Sigh!

Nan Gong Suyi sighed in her heart, not knowing who she was sighing for.

"Enough, disciple!" Xu Mu said indifferently.

"You!" This brat, does he really think I'm afraid of him?

Although she said that, Nan Gong Suyi's body was filled with spiritual energy, and she quickly flew away.

"Hey! Why did she leave? What about Senior Brother?" Xu Mu was a little confused. He was considering whether to catch up, but Nan Gong Suyi sent a message, asking him to come back in half a year. Mo Wuxin's body transformation would take some time.

Thinking of his proud Senior Brother soon becoming his Senior Sister, Xu Mu felt uncomfortable, but also a strange sense of excitement.

He couldn't wait to see how Mo Wuxin would react when the time came.

Now let's see how you dare to have any evil thoughts towards me, my poor little sister!

Sister Mo? Hehe!

Now I'll make you a real sister!

With an excited mood, Xu Mu flew towards Zhufeng City. However, he didn't return to Zhufeng City, but arrived at the island where the spatial crack was located.

After so many years, it should have returned to normal, right?

There were still two women and his business over there.

Even with his current cultivation level, selling resources to both sides was still the most profitable business.

After three years of absence, the island hadn't changed much. Xu Mu used his divine sense to check the surroundings and confirmed that there were no abnormalities before using Earth Escape Technique to enter the island and reach the central stone chamber.

Inside, it was pitch black and empty.

Xu Mu calculated and realized that it wasn't time to open yet.

Time passed in anxiety, and after a few days, a faint light appeared in the pitch-black sealed stone chamber. It quickly expanded and turned into a passage large enough for one person to pass through.

Looking at the familiar mountain and forest scenery on the other side, Xu Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the changes are only temporary. This spatial crack can still be used for a long time!" Xu Mu thought to himself.

As for whether to explore the unknown space, that still needed to be considered.

After all, the previous owner of this spatial crack likely died in that unknown space, and the danger inside was self-evident. Xu Mu didn't lack resources now, so there was no need to take risks.

He crossed the spatial passage and arrived on the other side, breathing in the long-unheard fragrance of grass and trees, feeling a sense of relief.

Looking back at the spatial crack, Xu Mu turned into a stream of light and flew towards Liyang Sect.

Soon, he arrived at Cuiling Market, the closest market to Liyun Mountain Range. Xu Mu only used his divine sense to scan and didn't stay, continuing to fly towards Liyang City.

He traveled swiftly along the way and soon arrived at his residence in Liyang City.

Using his divine sense to scan, he saw Sitan'er, who was wearing loose robes, cultivating in the room.

"What kind of person?"

Sensing the divine thought, Sitan'er snorted coldly, opened her eyes, revealing crimson pupils.

"It's me."

"..."

Sitan'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and showed excitement.

"Husband!"

After Xu Mu entered the courtyard, Sitan'er couldn't wait and threw herself into his arms, disregarding the presence of maidservants.

"I'm relieved to see you safe and sound!"

Xu Mu stroked Sitan'er's hair and took her back inside.

The maidservants tactfully closed the door.

...

After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Xu Mu asked about her experiences over the past few years.

Three years is not a long time for someone at the Foundation Building stage. Besides consolidating her cultivation, Sitan'er also took some time to establish her own network and build her own power with the connections left by her grandfather.

Sitan'er's grandfather, Si Xuanjing, was a third-tier alchemy master, so his network was quite extensive. However, in the past, Sitan'er was weak and even if she wanted to curry favor with others, they would look down on her. Now that she has advanced to the Foundation Building stage, it's their turn to curry favor with her.

These people have some usefulness, so she accepted them and gradually formed a small force.

Xu Mu didn't oppose this situation. People can't cultivate all day long, and finding something to do prevents idleness and potential problems.

He just reminded her not to be too distracted and to not delay her cultivation.

After spending enough time with Sitan'er, Xu Mu contacted Chi Feiyan, but unfortunately, there was no response.

"Could something have happened?"

Although he only saw Chi Feiyan as a plaything, he would still feel some regret if something happened to her.

After inquiring in the city, he found out that Chi Feiyan had moved to a remote market instead of staying in the city.

Xu Mu set up a communication array and finally contacted Chi Feiyan.

According to Chi Feiyan, because Xu Mu hadn't returned for a long time and their forces needed development, she used her connections and paid a considerable price to obtain control over a market in a remote area.

In addition to the surface influence of the Lu and Chi families, Chi Feiyan also established a large intelligence organization with Xu Mu's help.

The main purpose of this organization is to sell Foundation Building pills. It not only doesn't provide much profit but also requires constant support. Otherwise, it will quickly become paralyzed or even collapse.

However, Xu Mu had been gone for three years and couldn't provide Foundation Building pills or spiritual stone support. There was no news of him either, whether he was alive or dead.

In order to maintain the operation of the organization, Chi Feiyan had to find other ways.

Developing the market was currently the fastest and most stable way to earn spiritual stones.

There were many abandoned markets in the original Qinghe Sword Sect and Soul Refining Sect areas. As long as a Foundation Building cultivator was willing to pay the price, they could easily obtain management rights.

Xu Mu had no objections to Chi Feiyan's decision, but he was a little surprised by the market she chose.

"White River Market? She really knows how to pick a place!" Xu Mu commented.

Chi Feiyan chose the White River Market not because of nostalgia or because of Xu Mu, but for various considerations.

The first point was that there was no family stationed there temporarily, so the cost of obtaining management rights was the lowest.

As for the original family stationed there, they had long fled because they couldn't withstand the increasing attacks from demonic beasts.

The second point was that the White River Market was relatively close to Liyang Sect.

Most of the influence and business they originally controlled were near Liyang Sect, so being closer made it easier to manage and transport resources.

The third point was that Chi Feiyan herself was relatively strong. With the talismans and magical tools left by Xu Mu, she was capable of fighting against fifth-tier demonic beasts. Another reason was that her father, Chi Shouyuan, had also advanced to the Foundation Building stage.

With the strength of the two of them, they were able to defend the White River Market.

The disadvantage of having more demonic beasts in the area turned into an advantage, allowing them to gain a large amount of profit in a short period of time.

However, it seemed that she had encountered a little trouble recently.

"A conflict between father and daughter! Quite interesting!"

The day after receiving the news, Xu Mu bid farewell to Sitan'er and hurried to the White River Market.
