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

At this moment.

As Su Mu circulated his cultivation technique, the spirit stone floated in his dantian, and strands of spiritual energy transformed into threads that slowly entered his body, gradually surging towards his limbs and bones, until they reached the entire world around him!

With the blessing of the immortal bones, Su Mu absorbed spiritual energy at an extremely fast speed. A spirit stone would become dull and lose its luster in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, turning into an ordinary stone and shattering in mid-air!

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

About half an hour.

There were very few of the ten spirit stones left.

soon!

The last spirit stone dimmed, and the moment the spiritual energy surged into Su Mu's body, a powerful aura erupted from his body!

As the aura spread, Su Mu's robes fluttered without wind, the chill in the room was instantly dispelled, and his body was enveloped in a light blue spiritual energy.

The originally empty dantian gradually transformed into a vortex of energy after the spiritual energy returned, and then into a sea of ​​energy!

"break--"

suddenly.

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, let out a loud shout, and completely broke through the shackles of his cultivation level!

Spiritual energy takes shape, gathers in the dantian, and transforms into the sea of ​​qi.

Condensing a layer of Qi!

"My husband..."

Unbeknownst to Su Mu, just as he was breaking through his cultivation, Ye Qingyan heard the commotion and, feeling uneasy, came in and witnessed the scene!

At this moment, she realized that Su Mu was no ordinary person, but a legendary immortal!

As the daughter of the King of Anbei, she had the honor of seeing an immortal enshrined in the palace create fire with his bare hands and ride a sword. She knew that immortals were unfathomable and did not enter the mortal world!

For some reason, Ye Qingyan felt a little scared. After learning Su Mu's true identity, her guard was greatly reduced, but she worried that Su Mu might despise her for being a mere mortal and abandon her.

But at the same time, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart. Since Su Mu was an immortal, was her chance to avenge her family no longer so slim?

"But will my husband avenge me?"

Ye Qingyan was extremely anxious, and a look of melancholy appeared on her delicate face.

half an hour.

She took a deep breath and made a firm decision!

From now on, she will be a virtuous wife. She doesn't care about feelings, she only asks for a place for herself by Su Mu's side!

Ye Qingyan knew in her heart that it was simply a pipe dream for her to avenge her blood feud on her own. She had no choice but to rely on Su Mu, at least for now!

call--

At this time.

Su Mu exhaled a breath of stale air, sensing the changes within his body, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I've finally stepped into the realm of cultivators!

From this moment on.

He was no longer among the ordinary martial artists, but a true Qi cultivator!

"My wife?"

Su Mu noticed Ye Qingyan outside the door. Seeing her melancholy expression, he realized what was happening and quickly walked towards her, putting his arm around her slender waist and softly smiling:

"Who made my wife unhappy?"

Ye Qingyan remained silent for a moment, her eyes slightly reddening, her voice trembling with a hint of tears: "Husband, will you despise me?"

Su Mu smiled with relief and breathed a sigh of relief. "So it was because I lacked a sense of security."

"Rest assured, my wife, no matter what, you will always be number one in my heart!"

He reached out and gently wiped away the glistening tears from the corners of Ye Qingyan's eyes. His voice was especially gentle, and his deep, slightly melancholic words brushed past Ye Qingyan's ears.

Her mood had just improved a bit, and she turned her pretty face away, staring at Su Mu with teary eyes.

"Really?"

"More real than pearls!"

Su Mu replied softly, leaning closer, his hot breath brushing against Ye Qingyan's pretty face, and his lips gently pressing against hers.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Ye Qingyan's face flushed, and she looked shyly at the increasingly young and handsome man in front of her. Deep in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little different emotion!

A little while later.

The two separated.

Su Mu walked into the courtyard.

He began to practice the five spiritual techniques contained in the Five Animal Frolics.

Tiger, deer, bear, ape, bird!

They correspond to the five elements of heaven and earth: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!

Tiger Plays with the Moon - Roaring at the Moon and Breaking Through Golden Claws!

Deer Play - Rejuvenation Technique!

Bear Play - Mountain Shaking and Peak Suppressing Armor!

Monkey Play: A Thousand Illusions of Cloud Shadows!

Bird Play - Phoenix Roars and Strikes the Sky!

The five spiritual skills are: offensive spiritual skills, healing spiritual skills, defensive spiritual skills, and movement spiritual skills!

However, with his current cultivation level and the spiritual power he has stored up, it is not enough to fully unleash the power of the five spiritual techniques, and for now, it can only be used as a trump card to save his life!

Of course, the Azure Origin Sword Technique alone is enough for him to deal with most opponents!

And so, several hours passed, and Su Mu practiced his skills until nightfall without stopping for a moment!

Whether it's Shi Lei, the Green Snake Society, or the blood feud that wiped out a clan!

He needs to become stronger so that he can protect the people he wants to protect and avenge his parents and the entire village!

"Husband, please come in and eat!"

Suddenly.

Ye Qingyan's voice came from inside the house. After spending the last two days together, she had adapted to the current pace of life.

From a princess who never lifted a finger to become a wife!

Not long after!

The two finished their meal.

While Ye Qingyan was washing up,

Su Mu arrived at the storage room, full of anticipation, and opened the several storage bags he had looted, only to find that they were not satisfactory!

Aside from a few scattered spirit stones and a cultivation manual, there was also a token that was entirely dark green.

The jade plaque was inscribed with the three characters "Ascension Order".

"An Ascension Token? What's that?"

Su Mu examined the token in his hand from all angles, but couldn't find anything unusual. In the end, he gave up, put it into his storage bag, and set it aside for the time being.

I plan to find an opportunity to ask around.

At last.

Su Mu's gaze fell on the yellowed, somewhat worn-out cultivation manual on the ground, and he began to examine it:

"The Three Pills of the Overlord Body Technique? At its peak, the physical body becomes indestructible, an impenetrable fortress, impervious to blades and spears... achieving physical sainthood!"

After flipping through a few pages.

Su Mu shook his head helplessly, muttering in astonishment, "Physical ascension to sainthood? What a pity, simple body-refining techniques are useless to me..."

Now, the Five Animal Frolics he practices combines internal and external cultivation. Although its effect on tempering the body is not as good as the "Three Pillars of Overlord Body Technique", it has almost no shortcomings in other aspects!

Therefore.

He would not abandon the almost perfectly compatible cultivation method to switch to a physical cultivation method that leads to physical sainthood!

Physical ascension to sainthood is certainly appealing, but what he truly desires is immortality!

Clearly, the "Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique" does not meet the requirements.

etc--

Suddenly.

What was Su Mu thinking?

Iron Bull was born with martial prowess, and with his special physique, he was the perfect candidate to cultivate this technique!

If Tie Niu becomes stronger, given his loyalty to him, he will surely become a great general under his command!

wow-

Just as Su Mu was pondering, the sound of water came from the main house, followed by Ye Qingyan's charming voice:

"My lord, it's late, we should rest now."

hiss--

After breaking through the cultivation level.

Su Mu's physique became increasingly resilient, and after such teasing, a lustful fire immediately rose in his lower abdomen!

"You little vixen! How dare you flirt with your husband? Tonight, I'll show you what your husband is capable of!"

"..."

A light boat slowly enters the gorge, where the banks are deep and the path is narrow.

A fierce wind swept them together, and their fragrant sweat seeped through the clouds.

A lone peak rises into the sky, the long night stretches on and on.

People in spring clothes are intoxicated by the sight of the tide surging like flowing rosy clouds.

This night is destined to be sleepless—

...

The next day.

Su Mu woke up at 7:00 AM, an hour later than usual. Was his biological clock suddenly messed up?

"Could it be because of the improvement in cultivation level and the change in physique?"

He was a little puzzled. Could it be that he was too tired because last night's activities were too intense?

Su Mu didn't think too much about it. He carefully got up, changed his clothes, and quietly went outside, afraid of waking Ye Qingyan, since last night was indeed a bit too intense!

After breaking through to the first level of Qi Condensation.

His temples have lost much of their gray hair, and even the wrinkles on his face have decreased significantly, showing signs of rejuvenation!

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Su Mu smiled slightly. "My life has only just begun!"

As always, everything is ready.

He went to the storage room and absorbed all the remaining spirit stones, successfully breaking through from the first level of Qi Condensation to the mid-stage of the second level. In doing so, he used up all his current resources...

Since this was his first time embarking on the path of immortality, Su Mu was unaware of what level of martial artist he was comparable to, or even how strong he truly was.

But he could clearly sense that if he encountered those first-level martial artists again, he could kill them with a single sword strike!

Next, it's time to refine the elixirs!

Spring is just around the corner.

The medicinal herb fields should be planned well in advance.

Buying medicinal herbs to refine elixirs is far less cost-effective than growing your own spiritual herbs and refining the elixirs yourself!

Furthermore, given his current circumstances, he might not be able to afford even a few pills.

Ow—

Su Mu was drawn over by Su Yang's call. When he entered the room, he found that the little guy had already opened his eyes, and his big, watery eyes were staring at him.

Ow—

The moment it saw Su Mu, it rushed towards him, pressing its head against Su Mu's body, already regarding him as family!

Looking at Su Yang at his feet, Su Mu took a deep breath and rubbed its chin. "Looks like I need to move up the schedule for preparing food for you!"

Not long after.

Ye Qingyan woke up with a start.

After a night of intense fighting, her legs are still a little weak, and she has difficulty getting out of bed and needs help.

"Hmph, it's all your fault! Couldn't you be a little gentler?" Ye Qingyan said shyly, her tone tinged with reproach, "How am I supposed to face anyone now!"

"Cough cough cough!"

Su Mu coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment, then placed his palm on Ye Qingyan's lower abdomen, channeling his spiritual energy into her body to relieve the pain.

After being nourished by spiritual energy, Ye Qingyan felt a change in her body. Just a moment ago, she was sore all over, but now she felt relaxed!

"Don't worry, my wife, I'll be more careful next time, so you can feel comfortable and refreshed..."

"Ugh~ I'm ignoring you!"

"..."

The two flirted a little.

After finishing the meal.

Su Mu packed his bags, preparing to enter the city as soon as possible to purchase the necessary supplies and gather intelligence.

Since he had promised Shi Lei to avenge him, he would have to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. All the variables depended on whether his own strength was strong enough!

In addition, considering the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy, Su Mu needed to gather information about the Green Snake Society in advance. He would never go to his death without absolute strength!

"My lord, be careful on the road. I'll be waiting for you at home." Ye Qingyan draped a coat over Su Mu, straightened his collar, and gave him these words of advice.

Su Mu reached out and pinched her soft, pretty face. "Remember, you're not allowed to act alone right now. Wait for me to come back for everything!"

"knew!"

Ye Qingyan pouted, snorted, and replied angrily.

As they were talking.

Su Mu took out a hairpin hidden on his back. "From now on, don't use a wooden stick to style your hair. Let me put this on for you..."

Before she knew it, Ye Qingyan's eyes reddened. She hadn't expected Su Mu to care about her so much!

"My husband, thank you..."

Her voice was choked with emotion. Since the destruction of the royal palace, she had not eaten a full meal, let alone hairpins. She had been on the run ever since, and before she met Su Mu!

"Don't worry, my wife. After the start of spring, I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you and bring you into my home in style!"

"My wife, Su Mu's wife, can't be just anyone!" Su Mu said seriously.

At that moment, the ice in Ye Qingyan's heart finally began to melt!

...
