With the breakthrough in his cultivation, Xu Mu’s lifespan increased by another five years, reaching 112 years.

Both his physique and spirit also grew to some extent.

“Pills are truly amazing!”

Originally, Xu Mu had calculated that even if he tried his best, he would only be able to break through in a month. Unexpectedly, he broke through in just a few days, and during these few days, he had barely cultivated and just focused on alchemy.

After adjusting to the breakthrough in his cultivation, Xu Mu immediately went to his bedroom to share this joy with his wife.

“Husband, you seem to look younger?”

Before he could speak, Ye Yingying, who was feeding Little Ling’er, exclaimed in surprise first.

“That’s probably because I’ve made a breakthrough in cultivation! But, is it that obvious?” He said, holding his chin in confusion.

Transitioning from the early Qi Cultivation stage to the middle stage only increased his lifespan by a few years and the change shouldn’t be that significant.

“See for yourself!”

Ye Yingying took the food out of Little Ling’er’s mouth and without any attempt to cover it up, immediately passed Xu Mu a bronze mirror lying on the bedside.

Xu Mu took the mirror and looked at his face in it. The smooth mirror reflected a face that seemed both foreign and familiar.

His facial features were sharp and there was a touch of determination in the center of his forehead.

His once-white hair had completely disappeared and was now jet-black and full of life. The wrinkles on his face had also significantly receded. He looked radiant and at least ten years younger.

It’s actually true!

The Jade Marrow Pill and the breakthrough in his cultivation, added up to an increase in his lifespan by eight years, only two years shy of a full decade.

“Not bad! Ying Er, do you like how I look now?”

Xu Mu handed the mirror back to Ye Yingying, then pinched her nose and laughed.

“Husband, I like you no matter how you look!”

Ye Yingying showed her tiny teeth as she giggled.

“Really?”

“Mhm!”

“Ying Er, you’re so sweet. You deserve a reward!”

“Huh… But it’s still dayti…”

“Waaaah!”

Poor Little Ling’er, watching her parents play fight, began to cry indignantly.

Please don’t fight, someone might get hurt!

Waaaah!

…

The next day.

Early morning.

After eating, Xu Mu, dressed in a blue robe, instructed his wife before stepping out the front door.

There were already several people standing in the small alley outside his house.

They were huddled in groups of twos and threes, conversing in hushed tones.

Jia An was also among them.

“Friend Xu!”

Upon seeing Xu Mu step out, Jia An immediately greeted him with a smile. The others who were talking also turned to look at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu responded with a smile, stepped onto the uneven muddy ground, and steadily walked towards them.

Having achieved some level of physical cultivation, his steps were incredibly stable. Each step seemed as if it was measured with a ruler, precise to a fault.

But no one present paid much attention to this.

“Friend Xu, you, you…”

When Xu Mu reached them, Jia An looked at his beaming face disbelievingly.

“I was fortunate enough to make a breakthrough in my cultivation. Everyone’s laughter serves me right!” Xu Mu laughed.

“Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Jia An’s face broke into a smile. He hastily bowed and stuttered his congratulations while stomping the mud off his shoes.

“Our warmest congratulations, Sir!”

The others also bowed and offered their congratulations.

Reaching the middle stage of Qi Cultivation counted the person as an influential figure in the slums where they lived.

However, Xu Mu had reached this stage in his sixties, suggesting that he had reached the peak of his progress. The others didn’t feel too envious of him.

“You are all too kind!”

Xu Mu returned the gesture.

Xu Mu was familiar with all present. They all lived on the same alley, but Xu Mu seldom interacted with them, apart from having visited everyone when he had first arrived.

“Friend Xu, do you think we can succeed this time?”

The man asking the question was a little hunched and missing an ear. He looked anxious.

Xu Mu knew the man had just moved in a month ago. He lived in the house at the entrance of the alley, the one that used to belong to Sun Daocheng. His name was Ma Rui, a Talisman Maker, and had visited Xu Mu when he first moved in.

However, Ma Rui was not a conventional Talisman Maker, he could rather be considered eccentric.

He had combined talismanic inscriptions with colors to create illusion books and had even tried to sell them to Xu Mu. Xu Mu had rejected the offer, mainly because of the price… er well, the lack of authenticity.

“I’ve been at home cultivating and practicing alchemy every day. I really don’t know what to say. You’d better ask Friend Jia,” Xu Mu said, laughingly sidestepping the question.

He wanted to remain unnoticed in this operation.

“Ma, please calm down! As I’ve mentioned several times already, I guarantee nothing will go wrong!” Jia An said, looking a bit impatient.

Before Xu Mu arrived, Ma Rui had already asked this question several times.

Ma Rui was really too timid!

“But, the Chi family has a Great Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Despite what Jia An said, Ma Rui was clearly not brave. He was still frowning and worrying, asking anyone he ran into.

Just as they were talking, another door swung open.

Two tall, thin, and pale men stepped out.

It was the Brothers of Li Family!

Xu Mu was surprised; he didn’t expect that Jia An could persuade these two to join.

The Li brothers glanced at everyone, then leaned against the wall and closed their eyes, ignoring everyone and not starting a conversation. They appeared to be very antisocial.
