Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

"More importantly, your essence and blood are extremely powerful and profound, constantly nourishing its body and solidifying its cultivation foundation. Although it grows rapidly, its foundation is stable and without any weakness, so there is no need to worry about any hidden dangers."

Su Mu was completely relieved upon hearing this and nodded gently: "I see."

"Someone downstairs is waiting to be recognized as a godfather again, go and take a look," Wen Qianzhu reminded with a smile.

Su Mu took one last look at the gold soaring in the sky, then turned and slowly walked downstairs.

Inside the library courtyard, people thronged together, shoulder to shoulder.

Most of them were low-level cultivators from the Tianyuan Continent, who traveled from all over the Great Qian Empire to seek a cultivation opportunity.

Su Mu continued to accept all comers.

Although the rewards for breakthroughs for low-level cultivators are not top-tier, they accumulate over time and provide a steady stream of benefits.

More importantly, the more adopted sons and daughters he has, the more prosperous his imperial fortune becomes, the more stable his status as the retired emperor and the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty's rule become, and the more abundant the imperial aura that heaven and earth give back to him becomes.

No one caused trouble or provocation throughout the entire process. The cultivators obediently knelt and received their rewards before quietly departing.

After everyone dispersed, Su Mu stopped in the courtyard to stretch his muscles and adapt to his surging physical strength and the power of the Xuanhuo.

He then used his divine sense to summon Chai Min, who was on the eve of her seclusion, and bestowed upon her three Qian Yuan Shen Xia Pills.

"Your daughter kowtows in gratitude to her godfather for his boundless kindness!"

Chai Min knelt down again to express her gratitude, her expression full of respect and appreciation.

"Focus on your cultivation and break through to the next level as soon as possible. That will be the best way to repay your father." Su Mu waved for him to leave.

After receiving gratitude for Chai Min's departure, she devoted herself to seclusion.

After three days of quiet recuperation, she has completely gained the approval of the Heavenly Origin World. Next, she will use the Enlightenment Pill and the Qian Yuan Divine Glow Pill to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of the Martial Empress.

As the sun sets behind the western mountains, the remaining rays paint the sky red.

Xiao Yunshang, who had gone out to exterminate the Gui Clan, has finally returned.

Her figure was unsteady, her breathing was disordered, her beautiful face was as pale as paper, her brows were full of exhaustion, and her body was extremely worn out, clearly suffering from a serious injury.

Xiao Yunshang rushed straight to the second-floor balcony of the library, her body swaying precariously.

Seeing this, Wen Qianzhu quickly picked up Su Song and rushed forward, asking with concern, "Miss Xiao, what happened to you?"

"I……"

As soon as Xiao Yunshang opened her mouth, her breath completely dissipated, her body swayed violently, and she could no longer hold on.

Wen Qianzhu reacted quickly and reached out to steady him.

The next moment, Xiao Yunshang closed her eyes and fell into a coma.

"not good!"

Wen Qianzhu's expression changed drastically, her heart filled with anxiety.

Su Mu instantly flashed to the balcony, raised his hand and channeled his inner power, gently enveloping Xiao Yunshang's body, and steadily moved her into the room and laid her flat on the bed.

"She must have encountered an extremely dangerous battle and paid a huge price to escape and return," Wen Qianzhu speculated in a deep voice.

Su Mu's gaze fell on Xiao Yunshang, and he frowned slightly.

The high-grade treasure robe she wore had an extremely strong effect of blocking divine sense, making it impossible for outsiders to detect the injuries inside her body.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yunshang's unconsciousness and lack of vigilance, Su Mu quietly probed into the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness.

In the next instant, he saw the root cause of his injury.

Xiao Yunshang's Thunder Phoenix Martial Aura was weak, dull, and stagnant, with her divine soul patterns broken and disordered, on the verge of collapse.

Clearly, he had suffered an extremely powerful soul attack, which severely damaged his spiritual essence, leading to instability in his martial appearance and exhaustion of his physical body, causing him to fall into a coma.

Su Mu withdrew his divine sense, took out several Mystic Pills, raised his hand to pry open Xiao Yunshang's lips, and fed the pills into her mouth one by one.

The Mysterious Pill specializes in treating damage to the soul and spirit, and can quickly replenish the depleted essence of the soul, stabilizing the Thunder Phoenix Martial Form which is on the verge of collapse.

"Remove her outer garments, then use your divine sense to examine her physical body and the state of her spiritual energy in her dantian," Su Mu instructed Wen Qianzhu, turning to her.

Wen Qianzhu quickly shook her head: "My cultivation is low, only at the early stage of Martial King. Even without the protective armor, my divine sense cannot penetrate her Innate Profound Thunder Body at all, and I cannot detect anything!"

Su Mu suddenly understood upon hearing this.

Xiao Yunshang was a powerful cultivator in the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm. Her innate Xuanlei Body was exceptionally strong and resilient, and her physical barriers far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators.

Wen Qianzhu's cultivation level was too low, and her spiritual power was insufficient, so she was indeed unable to penetrate and investigate.

He immediately thought of Chai Min, who was in seclusion.

However, Chai Min is currently consuming the Enlightenment Pill, which presents an excellent opportunity to enter the Dao. At this crucial moment, she must not be disturbed.

Forcibly awakening him would not only render the Enlightenment Pill ineffective, but would also damage his foundation in the Great Dao, resulting in more harm than good.

"Saving lives is the priority!"

Wen Qianzhu noticed Su Mu's hesitation and quickly advised, "Miss Xiao rushed back to the library because she knows only you can save her. Don't be bound by worldly formalities or privacy concerns! If you delay any longer, her soul and martial appearance will completely dissipate, and there will truly be no way to save her!"

After saying that, Wen Qianzhu carried Su Song out of the room and closed the door behind her, leaving Su Mu some space.

"I'm sorry."

Without further hesitation, Su Mu gently removed the layers of protective clothing that blocked Xiao Yunshang's divine sense.

The outer layer of protection has been completely removed, leaving no barriers to shield us.

Su Mu unleashed his divine sense, instantly enveloping Xiao Yunshang's entire body and meticulously examining her injuries.

The skin on the surface of the body is intact and without any marks, seemingly unharmed, but the internal organs and meridians have already been severely damaged and congested.

It is not difficult to deduce that he must have previously encountered a powerful late-stage Martial Emperor or a top-tier mid-stage Martial Emperor with exceptional talent in a fierce battle.

If it weren't for her innate Xuanlei Body, Thunder Phoenix Martial Appearance, and high-grade protective armor layering out defenses that absorbed most of the damage, her Xuan body would have already exploded and been destroyed.

Su Mu lowered his divine sense and probed into the inner world of his Qi Sea.

Xiao Yunshang's Xuanling and Wuxiang were in the same state, weak and listless. If it weren't for the Xuan fire around her body nourishing and enveloping her, she would have completely dissipated long ago.

"Although the injuries are serious, they can still be treated."

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to take out healing pills and Xuanlu Nourishing Spirit Pills, feeding them to Xiao Yunshang.

The Mysterious Dew Nourishing Spirit Pill can stabilize the foundation of the Mysterious Spirit and quickly replenish lost power, making it an excellent medicine for repairing damage to the Mysterious Spirit.

One or two pills are far from enough; Sumu has ample stock and is continuously replenishing its medication.

He knew perfectly well that in battles between Martial Emperor cultivators, the Martial Phase was always the first to bear the pressure and the most vulnerable link.

Mystic Spirits and Mystic Bodies are constantly protected and nourished by Mystic Fire, making them extremely forgiving. In contrast, Martial Aspects are exposed to the elements without any protection, making them the most vulnerable to being targeted and severely injured by the enemy.

At this moment, Xiao Yunshang's martial arts injuries are far more troublesome and serious than Xuanling's.

The medicinal power of the pills slowly took effect, stabilizing the injuries to the Xuan body and preventing the damage from continuing to worsen, but it was difficult to quickly repair the loss of the original essence.

The profound physical foundation of top experts is so strong that once severely injured, the difficulty of repairing it far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of top-grade, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum of excellent quality.

This item is a rare and precious herb in Liang Yanqing's storage ring. Its medicinal effects are mild yet potent, and it excels at repairing damage to the body's origins and nourishing the physical body and soul.

His alchemy skills were limited, and he lacked all the necessary materials, so he was unable to refine high-level pills. He simply activated the Purple Gold Profound Fire and slowly enveloped the Ganoderma lucidum.

The intense flames gently refine the essence of Ganoderma lucidum, gradually extracting its core energy and removing impurities.

Although this method may reduce the efficacy of the medicine and cause some waste, it is direct and reliable, without the need for complicated procedures.

Su Mu didn't care about this loss at all in order to save Xiao Yunshang.
