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

Chapter 57: Cuilingfang Market

PS: Everyone took a ferry in the previous chapter!

Li Yang Sect

Cuilingfang Market

Surrounded by mountains, with lush greenery and a thin mist, lies a bustling market with buildings and pavilions spanning ten miles in length and width.

In the sky, cultivators soar on their flying devices, traversing the empty space. On the ground, exotic and rare beasts roar incessantly, while cultivators shrouded in spiritual light come and go at the entrance.

A group of six people, accompanied by a young child and a small child, carrying a red-eyed white wolf, enter the market along with the crowd.

The appearance of these few people did not elicit any unusual reactions from the passing cultivators. However, their gazes occasionally lingered a little longer on the three women and the two children.

These people are Xu Mu and the others who have traveled through mountains and overcome hardships to reach the Li Yang Sect area.

After entering the market, Xu Mu leads the group to find an inn and temporarily settles down.

They plan to rest for a few days and consider their next steps.

The journey of nearly three months has truly exhausted them.

Although they rested every day during the journey, the constant feeling of tension and strain cannot be easily recovered through simple rest.

It is only upon arriving at Cuilingfang Market, the territory of righteous cultivators, that they can truly relax.

Inside the room, Xu Mu opens the system and checks their gains during this period.

[Achievements:]

Fortunate in Life: Increases Luck value by 20 points every day!

[Luck Value: 193]

Due to reaching the Blood Exchange stage, their lifespan has increased to 160 years, taking another step towards the Foundation Building stage at 200 years.

There has also been significant progress in cultivation. In just over three months, they have gained nearly 200 points.

The main reason for such progress is that they had the meat of third-stage demonic beasts every day in the jungle, which is a great supplement.

In addition, Xu Mu has never stopped taking pills.

Another reason is that with the breakthrough to the Blood Exchange stage in Body Refining, his cultivation talent has been further enhanced, allowing him to progress much faster than before.

Including the main cultivation technique and various spells, Xu Mu has made significant progress without deliberate cultivation.

This is the advantage of talent!

Those true geniuses can achieve in the time it takes to eat and drink what ordinary people would take years of arduous cultivation to achieve.

Without talent, it is actually easier to live as an ordinary person.

Fortunately, he has now stepped into the ranks of the talented.

At this rate, it is likely that he will soon advance to the later stage of Qi Refining.

By then, his strength and lifespan will be further enhanced.

In terms of skills, the greatest progress has undoubtedly been made in the Light Body Technique and Thundering Sword Art, both reaching the level of grandmaster. With one more step, they will be able to transcend the ordinary and become saints.

There will probably be a qualitative improvement when the time comes.

Xu Mu's next goal for improvement is still the Thunder Swordsmanship.

Apart from enhancing his strength, Xu Mu values the increase in physique and talent that the Thunder Swordsmanship brings.

In a while, he will settle in Liyang City.

The environment there is stable, and simple spells that only increase strength are not very useful. The Thunder Swordsmanship, which can increase both strength and talent, is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the biggest gain this time should be the "Yin Yang Tong Ji 108 Forms".

Although it can only be used in special environments, it has remarkable effects when used properly.

If it weren't for this extraordinary skill, they might not have been able to survive and leave the Cloud Peak Mountains.

With that woman's methods, killing them would be as easy as crushing ants.

"The reason why the major sects do not venture deep into the Cloud Peak Mountains may also have something to do with that woman!"

Unfortunately, that woman did not accept his proposal. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been unacceptable for him to rely on her.

Since they are all people from the cultivation world, they don't mind going through it a few more times.

In addition to the improvement in strength, they also gained a lot of resources.

Just the accumulation of spiritual stones alone amounts to more than 13,000 pieces, some of which were earned from selling pills, but most were given by others.

The several storage bags found in the Green Wolf's lair also contributed a lot.

Those targeted by the Green Wolf are naturally not weak.

However, there shouldn't be any Foundation Building stage cultivators among them.

Then there are various magical tools and robes, which, in terms of value, exceed 10,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.

There aren't many talismans and pills left; they were mostly consumed during the journey.

In addition to these, there are various materials from demonic beasts and a large number of low-grade spiritual herbs.

These were all collected along the way!

Not only did Xu Mu collect a lot himself, but the storage bags of the others were also filled to the brim. If exchanged for spiritual stones, it would definitely elevate their savings to a new level.

In the following period, Xu Mu would leave early and return late, constantly changing his appearance. He would investigate the situation in the area where Liyang Sect is located while selling off all the unused magical tools, robes, and materials he had.

Half a month later!

After selling everything, Xu Mu gained a total of more than 17,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.

The price was lower than he expected!

One reason for this was that he was in a hurry to sell and didn't want to waste too much time on this matter, so he set the prices relatively low.

Another reason was that Liyang Sect itself excelled in the art of refining, and there were many refiners in the sect, so the prices of magical tools in the area were generally low.

Compared to the market price in Qinghe Sword Sect's area, it was at least thirty percent lower.

And this was when Xu Mu was selling on his own; if he sold them to a shop, the prices would be even lower.

Because of this, he had been targeted by others several times.

His mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation was truly deceptive.

As newcomers, they didn't dare to cause too much trouble. After discovering someone following them, Xu Mu would usually use invisibility techniques to shake them off.

During this time, the group also obtained new identity cards and became independent cultivators under the jurisdiction of Liyang Sect.

Registering their identities was inevitable. Without these identity cards, they couldn't rent houses, buy houses, or even open shops.

Most importantly, without them, they couldn't board the flying boats.

If they encountered a thorough inspection, they might even be mistaken for spies from hostile forces.

Fortunately, they had the identity cards from Baihe Fang Market.

Liyang Sect and Qinghe Sword Sect were both affiliated forces of Tianhe Sect, so it wasn't difficult to replace them as long as they were willing to spend spiritual stones.

The Liyang Sect disciples in charge of registration didn't seem surprised by the identities of the group. Xu Mu learned through inquiries that many Qinghe Sword Sect independent cultivators had arrived during this period.

Not only from Baihe Fang Market, but also from other markets of Qinghe Sword Sect, as well as independent cultivators from Qinghe City, most of whom were from major Foundation Building families.

However, these Foundation Building families only stayed briefly and went to Liyang City after registration.

There were still some independent cultivators who remained in Cuiling Fang Market and were likely to settle here in the future.

After a few more days, the flying boat from Liyang Sect arrived.

Xu Mu spent seven mid-grade spiritual stones to purchase seven tickets. Two children and a white wolf counted as one ticket. The group packed their belongings, boarded the flying boat, and headed to Liyang City where Liyang Sect was located.

Originally, Zhang Shouren intended to stay behind, but his grandson Zhang Yu was causing too much trouble and insisted on following Xu Mu and the others. In the end, Zhang Shouren could only smile bitterly and agree.

At this point, Xu Mu's family had a small foundation.
