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

More than half an hour later.

Su Mu rode Amao into the city.

He went straight to the black market, entered the VIP room, and waited for Meng Ziling to arrive...

"Mr. Mu, how have you been?"

At this moment, Meng Ziling pushed open the door and walked in, swaying her waist with extreme allure. However, this time, unlike last time, there was an old man behind her.

The old man was tall and looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but his steps were very agile, unlike his age. Judging from his appearance, Su Mu concluded that the other party was also a cultivator!

The Insightful Eye!

open!

Su Mu activated his spiritual eye, and sure enough, a faint blue aura was faintly visible in the old man's dantian. Within the faint blue aura, there was also a trace of crimson aura. Clearly, that was a spiritual power of another attribute.

If he guessed correctly, the person in front of him was most likely an alchemist!

To become an alchemist, in addition to the requirement of mental strength, one also needs to possess wood and fire elemental energy. Only when these two types of energy are balanced can one truly step into the threshold of becoming an alchemist!

"Mr. Mu, this is Elder Lin, Lin He, who, like you, is also an alchemist..."

Meng Ziling spoke intentionally or unintentionally, but Su Mu remained seated, calmly sipping his tea as if he hadn't heard her introduction and completely ignored her.

"..."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The old man standing beside Meng Ziling narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing increasingly cold. Clearly, Su Mu's actions had angered him. "Hmph! Sir, you think too highly of yourself!"

As a respected alchemist, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? He was determined to regain his dignity!

boom!

The next moment!

Lin He's immense spiritual power, like an invisible giant wave, surged with fierce pressure, heading straight for Su Mu's face.

Meng Ziling stood aside, a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes, but she did not stop them.

She clearly wanted to use Elder Lin to test Su Mu's abilities; if Su Mu was easily defeated, he wouldn't be worth getting close to.

Only those who can seize this opportunity deserve to forge a deeper bond with the black market.

In contrast, Su Mu still held the teacup between his fingertips, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.

Under his spiritual eyes, the torrent of spiritual power was clearly visible. He secretly activated his immortal bones, using a wisp of gentle spiritual power to protect his sea of ​​consciousness.

No matter how much Lin He's mental power attacked, he remained motionless, not spilling a drop of tea, and his eyes did not even waver, as if the sharp pressure was just a gentle breeze.

Seeing this, Lin He's face grew even more gloomy, and his spiritual power surged again, but he still couldn't shake Su Mu in the slightest.

"Damn it!? How is this possible! I clearly didn't sense any cultivation aura from him!"

Lin He's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead. He completely lowered himself, and the spiritual power of wood and fire attributes flowed around his body, all of which was poured into his mental power.

His eyes widened, a faint red light appeared between his brows, and a torrent of spiritual power, several times more violent than before, swept out like a tsunami, heading straight for Su Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

The atmosphere inside the VIP room changed instantly.

The teacups on the table and chairs trembled violently, spilling tea from their rims. The blue bricks on the ground were pressed into tiny cracks by an invisible pressure. The candlelight in the corner flickered wildly, its light flashing on and off. The spiritual energy in the air was thrown into chaos, and even the hustle and bustle of the black market in the distance seemed to be shut out.

The playfulness on Meng Ziling's face had long since faded, replaced by astonishment. She subconsciously took a half step back and lightly covered her red lips with her hand.

Although she knew that Elder Lin possessed great spiritual power, she did not expect that his full power would be so formidable. What shocked her even more was that Su Mu remained seated as before, without even a sway of his clothes.

Her eyes shone with growing anticipation, mixed with a hint of disbelief, her gaze fixed intently on Su Mu.

As a fellow alchemist, she knew very well that the person before her was far more unfathomable than she had imagined!

For a moment, Meng Ziling couldn't help but feel a little regretful; what if she angered the other party...?

She quietly concealed her aura, becoming increasingly determined not to offend Su Mu easily, and was already considering deeper ideas for cooperation.

Lin He had already fallen into madness, pouring out his spiritual power without reservation. The red light between his eyebrows grew stronger, but his face gradually turned pale, and his breath became somewhat weak.

He stared intently at Su Mu, determined to devour him alive, but no matter how much power he exerted, Su Mu remained as steadfast as an ancient rock.

"Impossible! This is impossible! How could I, a dignified high-level third-grade alchemist, be defeated by an unknown nobody like you!"

Despite Lin He's furious barking, Su Mu remained calm and composed, his fingertips gently stroking the rim of the cup, a faint smile still playing on his lips. His spiritual eyes took in Lin He's embarrassment and mental exhaustion.

He didn't even bother to mobilize any more spiritual power, relying solely on his immortal bones to protect his sea of ​​consciousness. The violent spiritual power that fell on him was like a mud ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple.

"puff......"

After a while.

Lin He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the red light between his eyebrows dimmed abruptly, and his mental attack instantly collapsed.

He staggered back two steps, staring at Su Mu in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear and resentment, but he could no longer muster the strength to exert any pressure. He spoke in a deep voice, "You...you were hiding your strength!"

Su Mu slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Lin He, his tone calm and unwavering, "With such narrow-mindedness, no wonder you're such a waste!"

"you!"

Lin He was both angry and anxious, a metallic taste rising in his throat, yet he was still unwilling to give up. Just as he was about to speak again, an immense and unparalleled pressure suddenly enveloped the entire area.

Su Mu slowly stood up, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His previously indifferent gaze suddenly sharpened, and a strand of spiritual power, refined to the extreme, burst forth from his sea of ​​consciousness.

This force was not as violent as Lin He's, but it carried an overwhelming power, crashing down like Mount Tai.

Strange phenomena suddenly occurred in the VIP room!

The tables and chairs shook violently, cups and saucers shattered, and tea mixed with porcelain shards splashed everywhere!

The cracks in the blue bricks on the floor spread rapidly, with a series of cracking sounds. The candle in the corner was extinguished instantly, plunging the room into a state of dim light.

The chaotic spiritual energy in the air was forcibly suppressed, condensing into an invisible wave of energy that swept around, causing even the doors and windows to creak under the weight, as if they were about to collapse.

Lin He's expression changed drastically, his pupils trembled violently, and his body, which had just regained its balance, was instantly pushed to the ground, his knees hitting the blue bricks heavily with a dull thud.

"ah--"

He was completely paralyzed, his throat felt like it was being choked, and he could barely breathe. Su Mu's mental energy pierced his sea of ​​consciousness, causing him unbearable pain. His previous arrogance was completely replaced by fear, leaving him trembling.

Meng Ziling, standing to the side, also turned pale. She tried to use her mental strength to resist the pressure, but she still almost couldn't hold on and collapsed to her knees.

Even though Su Mu hadn't targeted her, it had already chilled her to the bone, made her limbs weak, and raised her fear to its extreme.

This level of spiritual power far surpasses the scope of a third-grade alchemist!

Su Mu slowly walked up to Lin He, looking down at him with an indifferent, icy gaze, his mental pressure undiminished: "If you dare to make another sound, I'll destroy your sea of ​​consciousness!"

Lin He trembled all over, not even having the courage to raise his head. He lay on the ground, his teeth chattering, his face turning purple, unable to utter a single word.

Meng Ziling suppressed her heart palpitations and quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically, "Mr. Mu, please calm down. Old Master Lin was confused for a moment. I apologize on his behalf..."
