Chapter 383: Chapter 352 Assistance Breakthrough_1
“Luck?”
Xu Mu’s brow furrowed slightly.
He was most afraid of such things. Luck was an intangible, invisible force, unaffected by persistence or hard work.
Xuan Yang Holy Water hasn’t appeared in several hundred years, and he doubted his luck could grant him a meeting with it.
Moreover, with the presence of people from the three major forces, even if the Xuan Yang Holy Water were to appear, it wouldn’t be easy to claim it right under their noses.
All things considered, the chance of obtaining Xuan Yang Holy Water after entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm wasn’t great.
However, the Xuan Yang Holy Water in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm was his best chance of obtaining something that could repair Ming Lingchun’s damaged treasure. Regardless, he had to try.
“Prioritize finding Xuan Yang Holy Water, if that proves impossible, search for other life force-enhancing treasures to help rejuvenate Xiao Chun’s vitality,” Xu Mu resolved privately.
Ming Lingchun had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. If he could fully rejuvenate his life force, he could probably experience at least two more openings of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, undeniably enhancing the odds of obtaining the desired Holy Water.
Moreover, the more time passed, the higher his cultivation level would be, the stronger his position when the time came to fight or steal.
“Aside from Xuan Yang Holy Water, are there other frequently occurring treasures?” Xu Mu asked.
“Yes!”
Mo Wuxin shared all the gathered data with Xu Mu. Upon hearing of a few treasures ideal for rejuvenating his life force, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This increased his options and guaranteed that this endeavored wouldn’t be in vain if he couldn’t secure the Xuan Yang Holy Water. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Xu Mu memorized all major and minor details regarding the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, only to uncover a baffling point.
Why hadn’t anyone chosen to stay inside?
The spiritual energy inside the Xuan Yang Secret Realm was thick, even if there were no treasures it was still an excellent place for cultivating. The only drawback was it only opened every hundred years.
Despite this, a century, though not short, was also not considered a long time for Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. It was a sacrifice they could afford.
As for the danger within, according to Mo Wuxin, it wasn’t completely unavoidable.
Xu Mu shared his doubts with Mo Wuxin.
“I’m not entirely sure about the specifics, but it’s known that there’s never been anyone who stayed and lived to tell the tale. Their remains were found the next time the realm opened. Even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators have tried to stay without any success. After that, no one has ever stayed inside again,” Mo Wuxin said.
“I see.”
Upon hearing his explanation, Xu Mu nodded. He too had suspected this, otherwise, the three major forces would have taken advantage.
“There are still four or five years left until the next opening of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. In the meantime, I’ll help elevate your cultivation,” said Xu Mu.
Feng Luan and Xu Yin have reached the brink of their cultivation stages, had it not been for his orders, they would have tried to break through the Golden Core a while ago. Now that he was back, it was only natural for him to assist them.
Mo Wuxin’s cultivation could also be boosted.
“Are you sure you can help me progress?” Mo Wuxin asked, sounding uncertain.
She knew Xu Mu was an excellent alchemist, but her cultivation level was not low, and unlike Xu Tianpu’s special case, boosting her cultivation wouldn’t be simple.
“Don’t you trust your man?” Xu Mu asked, grinning.
“Watch your mouth!” Mo Wuxin embarrassingly retorted.
Even though Mo Wuxin had accepted Xu Mu, she still felt uneasy about it. She was his intensity before, but now they were husband and wife. She felt awkward both physically and mentally.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
Xu Mu joked with Mo Wuxin a bit before leading her back into the God Refining Tripod.
This time, they didn’t enter the compartment where Xu Tianpu was. Instead, Xu Mu led Mo Wuxin deeper into the God Refining Tripod.
“Why did you bring me here?” Mo Wuxin asked, puzzled.
Surely he wouldn’t use the large tripod to melt her down to help break through the realm. She had heard rumors about refining bodies in the Alchemy Furnace to create special physiques. But those were old stories, and she’d never heard of such in this age.
On the demonic cultivators side, there were plentiful methods of throwing people into the Alchemy Furnace to refine them directly into pills.
“Is it that you’re scared I’ll harm you?” Xu Mu asked, laughing.
“You wouldn’t dare,” Mo Wuxin snorted.
“I brought you here to see these pills.” Xu Mu said.
As they spoke, dozens of semi-transparent golden pills were revealed in front of them, radiating a faint spiritual energy.
“What are these pills?” Mo Wuxin asked, intrigued.
Despite living for over two hundred years, she had never seen a pill that doesn’t emit a medicinal fragrance, but instead, radiates human-like spiritual energy.
“Wait, you haven’t started refining humans into pills, have you?” As Mo Wuxin recalled the practices of demonic cultivators, she couldn’t help but go pale.
Xu Mu was about to explain. However, upon hearing Mo Wuxin’s question, he withheld his explanation and instead asked, “If that was the case, would you take them?”
“Could it be true?”
A look of shock and fear crossed Mo Wuxin’s face.
“I’m just saying if.”
“….”
Mo Wuxin was silent for a moment, and then said, “If that’s the case, you might as well keep them for your use, I’m not desperate for a breakthrough.”
“Hahaha!”
Xu Mu burst into laughter.
Despite refusing his offer, she did not blame him in some saintly fashion. This showed that she cared, but would not demand others to have the same principles as her. It validated that she was a reasonable person who didn’t put excessive weight on worldly rules, making it easier to negotiate matters with her in the future, rather than her rigidly opposing everything.
“I was just joking. Although I’m not a saint, I wouldn’t stoop so low as to commit such atrocities as those demons by producing pills from people. However, I can’t say that these pills have nothing to do with humans.”
Xu Mu explained the origins of these pills.
These Sin Refining Pills were originally left inside the God Refining Tripod and were the pills he took to break through to a higher Golden Core Stage.
The ingredients for the pills were various resentful souls. These resentful souls theoretically originated from human bodies, but monster beasts could also be a source of them.
If Mo Wuxin really cared about this, he would fabricate a suitable explanation. But based on Mo Wuxin’s reaction just now, she probably wouldn’t mind.
Mo Wuxin’s reaction was similar to what Xu Mu had expected.
“Residual souls and resentment are the world’s toxins. Even if you purify them, they would still harm someone. It’s commendable that you were able to recycle the waste and refine it into these pills. Why would I mind it?” Mo Wuxin laughed.
“In that case, you just sit here and take these pills, while I play the role of protector,” Xu Mu ordered.
“Okay!”
