Stepping onto the path to immortality, it all begins with buying the daughter of a disgraced officia

"Brother Su, wanna drive the piles?"

"Just half a bag of brown rice, and I guarantee you'll feel great!"

"..."

As evening fell, heavy snow began to fall.

Qingshan Village, the end of the village.

A somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

A man and a woman pushed and tugged at each other, remaining locked in a stalemate in the wind and snow.

The woman was about forty years old, her face covered with thick makeup, and she had an unpleasant odor.

His waist was as thick as a barrel, and his legs were as strong as hooves... It was truly hard to look at!

Opposite him was an old man wearing a patched gray-brown coat, who was trying his best to prevent the other from entering the room.

His name is Su Mu, and he is a time traveler who was born sixty years ago in a small mountain village in the State of Xu.

No talent, no cheat codes.

Even worse—

When I was twelve, a band of bandits broke into the village. My parents were brutally murdered, and all 108 households in the village perished!

He narrowly escaped death and, relying on his skills from his previous life, joined the army and became a cook in the border troops. It was tough, but at least he could make a living and wouldn't starve to death.

Over the years, he has never forgotten the horrific massacre of the entire village. He is haunted by nightmares every night. The murderers' faces have become blurry, but the blood wolf tattoo on their wrists is something he will never forget!

Three days ago, Su Mu turned sixty years old and was granted a special amnesty in the army, allowing him to retire and return to his hometown. He was given two hundred taels of silver, five mu of fertile land, and his household was moved to Qingshan Village to spend his old age in peace.

As for the old woman in front of us, she is the widow next door named Zhang Cuifang. Her husband died two years ago, and during the snow disaster, she made a living by working as an undercover agent.

Su Mu felt nauseous looking at this stinking old piece of meat and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Having served in the military for decades, he had been on the battlefield and killed people, so he still had that much of a deterrent effect!

Zhang Cuifang shuddered. Seeing that Su Mu was serious, she dared not continue her nagging. She glared at Su Mu angrily and spat, "Pah! You old fool, what are you pretending for? I'm not going to serve you anymore!"

Su Mu ignored the other person and turned to go inside. The biting cold air had just seeped in through his collar when it was drowned out by the sound of wooden planks scraping against frozen earth...

Outside the fence!

A middle-aged man in a gray coat slowly pulled a cart into the courtyard. On the cart lay a thinly dressed woman with a slender figure, seemingly knocked unconscious.

The middle-aged man was named Su Haichuan, a well-known prostitute in Qingshan Village who often engaged in the "human trafficking" business.

The woman in the car was someone he had bought from a neighboring village a few days earlier. According to the previous pimp, this woman had been sold several times, and each time she had murdered the entire family of the buyer at night...

Seven or eight households came and went, and the man had no choice but to sell at a low price, which eventually ended up in his hands.

Coincidentally.

A retired veteran family recently moved into the village.

Su Haichuan then planned to sell her off, wait for the woman to kill her, and then come back to live off the family fortune!

"Grandpa Su, do you want a wife? A top-notch beauty, take her for a hundred taels!" Su Haichuan arrived at the courtyard, stopped the cart, patted the snow off his body, and forced a smile as he called out.

Upon hearing this...

Su Mu frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the woman on the cart, looking her up and down.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a shapely figure. Although she was somewhat disheveled and the wind and snow had obscured seven-tenths of her beauty, she was still far superior to the widow Zhang next door!

However, in those days of war and snow disasters, one hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money, too expensive to buy a woman!

Thirty taels.

Su Mu thought for a moment and then spoke calmly.

In his past life, he was too poor to get married; in this life, he toils half his life, turning from a young virgin into an old virgin...

Even if I die, I must first taste meat before I die!

Moreover.

This woman has a really good figure and looks... Thirty taels, not a bad deal!

"Thirty taels? Old Master Su, you're cutting the price a bit too far!"

Look at this tender, smooth flesh, even more juicy than the cabbages in our village! It's worth at least fifty taels!

Su Haichuan held up five fingers, trying to bargain, afraid that if he said it was too expensive, Su Mu would back out, and if he said it was too cheap, it would arouse suspicion.

Su Mu's voice remained unchanged: "In that case, this old man has no choice but to see you out..."

"Thirty taels! Thirty taels it is! Old Master Su, consider it a loss on my part, but it's for the sake of making you my friend!"

Upon hearing that Su Mu intended to give up, Su Haichuan immediately agreed.

It was a loss, but the thought that the old man wouldn't live past tonight made a cold smile creep into my heart.

Su Mu didn't say anything, but took out a tattered silver pouch from his pocket, tossed it in his hand, and tossed it to Su Haichuan.

"Dian Dian".

"Alright!"

Su Haichuan accepted the bag with both hands, tore it open, and immediately smiled, saying, "Grandpa Su, you're so generous! I won't disturb your wedding night any longer. Farewell!"

He finished speaking.

As Su Haichuan put away the money bag and turned around, the smile on his face gradually changed, becoming extremely sinister!

"Hmph! You old fool, do you think you can take advantage of me so easily? Tomorrow morning, I'll bring my men to collect your corpse!"

"..."

Unbeknownst to the two, as they were talking, the woman's jade-like hands, which were placed beside her and were turning slightly purple from the cold, clenched even tighter!

Soon, Su Haichuan walked away.

Su Mu walked to the cart and carefully untied the ropes binding the woman's hands and feet.

Who would have thought?

The instant the rope was untied!

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, pushed Su Mu away, and ran barefoot towards the courtyard gate!

Before she could run very far...

Su Mu's deep voice rang out from behind: "At your rate, you'd freeze to death on the road before you even got two miles away, and you still think you can escape the village?"

brush--

Hearing the sound.

The woman's expression changed drastically, and she stopped in her tracks. Her small feet, frozen purple in the snow, were almost numb.

She was forced to turn around, her red lips slightly pursed, her teeth clenched, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at Su Mu, an expression unbecoming of someone her age.

She didn't say anything, just stood there in the snow, letting the wind and snow lash her red cheeks...

Squeak squeak—

Once the woman calmed down, Su Mu slowly walked over.

He had just reached out to carry her into the house when, unexpectedly, the woman reacted like a kitten in a fit of rage, grabbing his arm and biting him hard!

hiss!

Su Mu gasped in pain, but did not retaliate. Only after the woman released her grip did he speak calmly:

"Calm down? If you don't want to freeze to death, come inside."

Done.

He turned and left with a sullen face.

At this moment, the woman finally spoke: "Wait! My...my feet are frozen, could you...could you carry me inside?"

Her voice was like the first song of a nightingale, especially melodious, but unfortunately it was mixed with an unusual coldness, making it sound icy.

Su Mu did not refuse, walked closer, and picked her up in a princess carry.

The woman was petite, about 1.6 meters tall, which was a piece of cake for him, an old man who could carry an iron pot weighing dozens of kilograms!

She looked down at the bleeding teeth marks on Su Mu's wrist, her heart filled with mixed emotions, a deep unease settling in her heart...

After entering the house.

Su Mu remained silent, filling the bathtub with hot water before speaking softly:

"Wash it while it's still hot, lest you catch a cold."

Upon seeing him present, a hint of humiliation flashed in the woman's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it, leaving only a cautious look.

Seeing her reserved demeanor, Su Mu didn't say much. He tactfully went outside, squatted down by the door, took out his faded old pipe from his pocket, stuffed some tobacco into it, took two puffs, and exhaled a puff of white smoke.

Judging from her behavior, she was probably of considerable status before her downfall...

soon.

The sound of splashing water came from inside the house.

Looking at the sky filled with white light, Su Mu was filled with mixed emotions, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Half his body buried in the earth, yet he found a beautiful wife; truly, fate is cruel...

When I joined the army.

Su Mu had seen cultivators walk on snow without leaving a trace and travel on swords, and only then did he realize that this world called Xuanling Continent was not simple!

According to military generals, the world's innate bones are divided into: mortal bones, martial bones, spiritual bones, immortal bones, and divine bones!

Those born with spiritual bones can resonate with heaven and earth, absorb spiritual energy, and attain immortality!

Those born with mortal bones will never have the chance to become immortals, and after a hundred years they will turn into yellow earth and dust.

He was just an ordinary person!

...

crunch--

The time it takes to burn half an incense stick.

The door opened from the inside.

The woman, dressed in plain white, approached gently, her voice still cool and clear, brushing against Su Mu's ear:

"I... will help you rest..."

To survive and to preserve the last bloodline of the King of Anbei, she abandoned the pride that a daughter of the King of Anbei should have!

She knew her current situation well; the only way to survive was to use herself as a bargaining chip and curry favor with Su Mu.

Only by surviving can one have a chance to take revenge!

at this time.

Su Mu was stunned the moment he looked up!

The woman's snow-white skin resembled mutton fat jade with a soft glow, delicate and smooth!

The pine branches, green and flowing, reach down to her waist, carrying a fragrance.

Her eyes sparkled like starlight, her lips were naturally red, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist...

Slender waist, graceful curves, alluring yet refined!

So beautiful!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a celestial being!

Gollum—

Su Mu's throat tightened, but after a while, his complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Are you really willing to marry an old man like me?"

The woman nodded slightly, but her voice remained cool, "I can sense that you are different from them..."

crunch--

The door closed.

At the bedside.

The woman took off her clothes and stood in front of Su Mu, her tone calm with a hint of shyness: "This is my first time, could you be gentle?"

"You still haven't told me your name?"

"Ye Qingyan, um..."

A few breaths later, with a low roar from Su Mu, at the moment of Yin and Yang union, a scroll hidden deep in his sea of ​​consciousness finally broke its seal!

[You were born amidst extraordinary celestial phenomena, possessing innate immortal qualities! At the pinnacle of immortality, you reign supreme! You are destined to be a banished immortal!]

Those possessing immortal bones surpass ordinary cultivators in cultivation speed, comprehension, and talent! Furthermore, they are innately in harmony with heaven and earth, absorbing spiritual energy with twice the efficiency!

[Bestowed: The Qi Cultivation Method 'Five Animal Frolics'!]

Su Mu rolled over, a wave of exhaustion washing over him. He gasped for breath, his deep eyes staring blankly at the rafters, and sighed inwardly:

"This body... is really in terrible shape..."

But at that moment, a silver-white scroll shimmering with golden light quietly appeared before his eyes, followed by lines of text reflected in the scroll.

"???"

Su Mu initially thought he was hallucinating due to poor eyesight, and even waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Strangely, the scroll did not disappear!

Moreover, the instant the painting appeared, he felt a warm current surge from the great dragon of his spine, flowing to his limbs and bones!

My hands and feet, which were originally cold, became warm and cozy.

The qi and blood that had been depleted over the decades were restored in an instant, even far exceeding the previous levels!

Su Mu finally realized what was happening, his eyes widened, and he trembled with excitement!

"Born with the bones of an immortal? He should be a banished celestial being!"

"My cheat code...it's finally here!"

"Sixty years! Brother Gua, do you know how I've spent these sixty years?!"

『...』

for a long time.

Su Mu calmed himself and pondered deeply, "Xu Kingdom is not lacking in cultivation sects, and I am born with immortal bones..."

If a divine bone were to appear in the world, it would inevitably spark a struggle among various factions; arriving late would certainly be a bad thing!

In this life, his family was still poor, and his ancestors had been farmers for generations.

If one were to possess this treasure in childhood, misfortune would surely befall them... This has already been confirmed by a senior named "Huang".

Now that he is in his sixties, it has given him the opportunity to grow.

Su Mu served in the army for decades and was able to return home safely, but he had only one word to say about it: "survival."

next moment.

Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind like a torrent, and the stinging sensation lasted for quite a while before dissipating.

Su Mu had just learned that, in addition to the initial reward, subsequent achievements in the Longevity Diagram would also yield rewards, and these rewards were not limited to elixirs, cultivation techniques, or weapons...

"Gaining some fame, becoming renowned throughout the land, having many wives and concubines, establishing a clan..."

Seeing the words "attain immortality" strengthened his belief even more!

This time, he will cultivate immortality, conquer the Great Dao, and become a banished immortal!
