Chapter 168: Chapter 145: Boundless Strength_1

Three days later!
Mo Wuxin, dressed in a white robe, came to collect the pills.
Her brow furrowed slightly, carrying a touch of melancholy, like smoke hanging on willow tips.
Xu Mu refrained himself from asking imprudent questions.
He simply took out three bottles of pills from his storage bag and handed them to the other side.
Although Mo Wuxin had given him hundreds of medicinal materials, it didn’t mean that they all had to be refined. According to their agreement, as long as he could refine fifty bottles within half a year, it would be enough.
As for the extra pills, he could either keep them or sell them to the sect.
In addition to these pills, he also received a payment of spiritual stones.
Adding up all the benefits, it was only slightly below what Xu Mu would get if he sold them himself — it was quite generous.
After all, selling them by himself was not only time-consuming, but also potentially life-threatening. If he could use others’ channels, he could save a lot of trouble, but his earnings would be reduced by more than 20%.
So, this cheap master was quite good. He didn’t take advantage of Xu Mu and even gave him benefits.
What a pity that he was too old, Otherwise-
Deceiving the master, isn’t impossible!
Mo Wuxin checked the pills, and the unpleasant look on her face was finally slightly relieved.
Xu Mu seized this opportunity to ask:
“Senior Brother, can I take a walk in the sect during my rest time? I have been a member of the sect for so many years but haven’t really had a chance to travel around it!”
Over the years, he had never stayed in the sect except when delivering the pills.
The house that was allocated to him initially, he only visited once.
“The legs are yours. Go wherever you want, as long as it doesn’t affect your alchemy,” Mo Wuxin said indifferently.
“Thank you, Senior Brother!”
His request to stroll around was not for leisure, but to learn more about Mo Wuxin and Nangong Suyi’s behavior to decide whether to help or not.
After Mo Wuxin had left with the pills, Xu Mu did not immediately leave the alchemy room. Instead, he activated all defensive arrays and then took out the recently refined essence blood of the Earth-splitting Whale.
He intended to first integrate the bloodline into himself, boosting his strength.
Hoo!
Xu Mu closed his eyes, drawing a deep breath, and circulated the spiritual power within his body. His body started to shake slightly, seemingly under a great pressure.
After an uncertain amount of time, he raised his hand slightly, and numerous runes appeared on his body. An invisible force emanated from his palm, enveloping his body surface slowly.
Next, he chanted the spell of the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill, his voice low and powerful. With a finger gesture change, the runes infiltrated his body. His body began to gradually become transparent, like a luminous crystal.
On his body surface, fine blood vessels began to emerge, slowly flowing like tiny rivers.
Xu Mu raised his hand lightly again, a drop of dark yellow liquid appeared in his palm.
This was the blood of the Earth-splitting Whale he had finally refined.
The blood dripped from his palm, landed on his body, and slowly penetrated into his body, beginning to merge with him.
His transparent body seemed like a clear spring, and that drop of blood, like a drop of dark yellow ink, spread rapidly inside his body.
Xu Mu didn’t stop. He continued to chant the spell, allowing the blood of the Earth-Splitting Whale to fully integrate with his body.
Once the blood had finally covered his entire body, it quickly contracted back into a drop, lodged in his heart.
In the same location, there was also a silver droplet of blood.
Xu Mu took a deep breath, absorbing the bloodline power in his heart, and a smile of delight appeared on his face. He knew his fusion was a success.
“Let’s see how much power I have now! Roar!”
Impatient, Xu Mu roared low, his heart began to beat wildly, and his body inflated like a balloon. His blue robe was highly tensed and, soon, with a rip sound, it tore into fragments.
Without the robe covering, bulging muscles and sleek skin came into view, which differed greatly from his previous porcelain-like skin as if a thick layer of whale skin was added to it.
His eyes became deep with dark yellow light flickering in his pupils, his arms transformed into huge fin-like structures, and his legs swelled to the size of a water barrel.
His face, however, didn’t change much, except for his skin turning black, his teeth becoming sharp, and his mouth opening wide back to his head — it looked ferocious and terrifying.
In a short while, Xu Mu had transformed from a human to a terrifying halfman, half-whale creature, several feet high. His scary face, iron-like muscles, and giant body all radiate a suffocating sense of oppression.
It seemed like any slight movement would trigger a devastating force.
Feeling the changes in his body, a wild joy appeared in Xu Mu’s eyes.
The Earth-splitting Whale bloodline did not provide him with any divine skills, but only strength, pure strength to the extreme.
Xu Mu could feel that his current size was not his limit. If it weren’t for the room’s limitation, he could expand by several times more.
Once his body expanded to its limit, the power it would unleash could be a hundred times more than his normal state.
He didn’t know what it felt like to have a hundred times the strength in one punch. All he felt was that he could blow everything to pieces.
Xu Mu clenched his fingers into a fist and waved it lightly. The air immediately made a crackling sound, and the room was filled with violent winds, as if a level twelve typhoon was sweeping through.
Since this was an alchemy room and not a training room, Xu Mu dared not try too hard and quickly restored his original form.
However, his clothes couldn’t be restored and were torn into tatters.
“It seems that I’ll have to order a special set of clothes! I don’t want to fight naked with anyone!”
After obtaining the powerful killer move, Xu Mu changed a new set of clothes, tidied up the alchemy room, and left in high spirits.
Months had swiftly passed. One day, Xu Mu who was strolling within the sect, heard an unexpected news from some vaguely familiar senior sisters and brothers.
Mo Wuxin was going to duel with an expert who had just reached the Golden Core Stage.
The cause of the affair was quite simple, the opponent wished to take over the Palace of Pure Heart, but Nangong Suyi wouldn’t agree.
This kind of conflict wasn’t new, it was just that this time it had escalated to the point that it had to be settled by a duel.
Nangong Suyi was just an elder at Four Seas Immortal Palace. Even though the Palace of Pure Heart was developed by her, technically it still belonged to the Four Seas Immortal Palace as a small branch.
If Nangong Suyi could cultivate a Golden Pill disciple, naturally, she would have priority in the inheritance. However, if she couldn’t do so, the Four Seas Immortal Palace had the right to reclaim it and allocate it to another Golden Pill disciple.
Where there were people, there were conflicts. This world was always a place where supply was short of demand.
This fat piece of meat, the Palace of Pure Heart, couldn’t be given up by many.
“Given Mo Wuxin’s strength, victory shouldn’t be a problem. I just don’t know what happens next?”
As long as Mo Wuxin doesn’t advance the Golden Pill, such troubles will never end. Once Nangong Suyi dies, the fights for it will undoubtedly become more brutal.
Mo Wuxin’s combat with the Golden Pill Stage player wasn’t public, so Xu Mu couldn’t watch it. He just heard that Mo Wuxin had won, but it was not an easy win.
Being able to reach the Golden Pill Stage, none of them were weak. Plus, the opponent had prepared in advance. It was commendable that Mo Wuxin could win.
At least in the hearts of the Palace of Pure Heart disciples, his prestige had reached its peak after this battle.
However, Mo Wuxin himself wasn’t happy. Every time he came to pick up pills, his brows were knitted tightly.
As the six-month deadline approached, Xu Mu, after submitting his last batch of pills, hesitated a little but still stopped Mo Wuxin.
“Brother, I have a method that might help you break through the Golden Pill, would you like to give it a try?”
“You? What kind of method could you have?”
Mo Wuxin looked at Xu Mu suspiciously.
“Before giving you the method, could you promise me one thing?”
“What is it?”
“Don’t get angry after hearing”
11 11
Mo Wuxin’s eyebrows furrowed as he took a stern look at Xu Mu.
“Speak!”
“The method is…”
“I’ll kill you, Bastard!”
Before Xu Mu could finish speaking, Mo Wuxin had already taken action.
Pinching the Finger Jue, an invisible energy field enveloped Xu Mu. In an instant, Xu Mu felt like he was bearing the weight of thousands of pounds.
The surrounding environment also suddenly changed drastically. The ground turned into a boundless ocean, and the sky was densely filled with fire. It was as if they had returned to the dawn of the world where only water and fire existed.
As expected of an individual capable of defeating someone at the Golden Pill Stage. He really had some tricks!
Xu Mu exclaimed internally.
Using just this move, he could already suppress those at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Xu Mu pinched the Finger Jue and fused a dozen blue flame shields using his fire control Divine Skills, wrapping himself up to prevent the opponent from suddenly going crazy.
“Brother, how could you break your promise? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t get angry?”
“You damn bastard! You want me to transform into a woman, I will castrate you first! Limitless Water and Fire!”
The waves on the ground formed endless whirlpools, and the fire in the sky formed massive vortexes. Both combined and swept towards Xu Mu.
“Brother, you’re getting serious!”
Xu Mu’s face changed, a blue bird immediately flew out of his body, making a piercing cry. The invisible sound waves swept all around, but aside from Mo Wuxin’s eyebrows furrowing a bit, there was no abnormality. Even the skill he was controlling didn’t seem to be affected much.
He is really formidable!
Xu Mu couldn’t help but exclaim again in his heart.
Although this crow’s cry Divine Skill was only a tier four, it was performed by an evolved blue bird’s soul beast. Even if it hit someone at the Foundation Establishment stage, they would suffer if they weren’t prepared.
But for Mo Wuxin, it felt like a tickle.
It seemed that without showing some real skills, it would be difficult to get through today.
The golden Thunder Chop Sword appeared in his hand, and Xu Mu’s body slightly bulged as endless thunder light gathered, forming a sturdy armor.
The long sword swept horizontally, and a circular thunder light sword Qi swept toward all sides.
Boom!
The continuous collision of the three energies emitted a violent booming sound. For a while, it was like the end of the world.
“Who exactly are you?!”
Mo Wuxin looked at Xu Mu, showing a serious expression for the first time.
Being able to withstand his wave of attack indicated that the opponent’s strength had far exceeded the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
With such strength and intentional concealment, there must be an ulterior motive. He wouldn’t believe otherwise.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is that I have no ill will towards you! If you feel you cannot accept the proposal I just mentioned, you can just pretend I didn’t say anything!”
