Chapter 224 Moonlight Fairy Dew
"No?"
Xu Mu, who rented a high-class training room in Xianyue Palace and was preparing to break through to the golden elixir stage, had to stop as soon as he found an opportunity to break through.
He opened his eyes and frowned.
Just now, a premonition suddenly arose in his heart. If he broke through now, his life might be in danger.
This premonition puzzled him.
He has super-grade Dust-falling Pills and Haoyuan Pills in his hands to help him break through. His major skill, Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Technique, has reached the proficiency level, which is comparable to the extraordinary level of ordinary sixth-level skills. The Heavenly Purple Thunder Body has also reached the extraordinary level.
The most important thing is that he also had the experience of condensing the golden elixir.
It can be said that no one is more prepared than him when it comes to advancing the golden elixir. In theory, it should be easy to advance.
"This premonition cannot be groundless, I must have overlooked something!"
After half a month of self-examination, Xu Mu finally understood the problem.
The reason is that his foundation is too solid and his longevity is too short.
"Sure enough, it's still a matter of lifespan!"
Xu Mu smiled bitterly. In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago.
Breakthroughs in the golden elixir stage are different from those in the foundation-building stage. Breakthroughs in the foundation-building stage are mainly about improving physical fitness, cleansing the marrow and removing essence, allowing the cultivator to be reborn. Advanced cutscenes do not have many requirements on lifespan.
To break through the golden elixir stage, one needs to absorb the essence of the whole body, and the spiritual energy in the mixed body is concentrated into a Hunyuan golden elixir, which will feed back to oneself only after the golden elixir is condensed.
Therefore, in the early stages, vitality will be greatly depleted. If vitality is insufficient, it will be impossible to complete the initial advancement.
The stronger the foundation is laid in this process, the greater the loss of vitality will be in the early stage of advancement, and of course the more feedback will be given.
Xu Mu has very little vitality left, and his foundation is as solid as ever. If he forcibly advances, problems will naturally arise.
"well!!"
Xu Mu not only had a headache, but also lamented why it was so troublesome for him to recover his cultivation.
First it was demonic energy, and now it is life force.
However, no matter how troublesome he is, he still has to go.
It's just not that easy to regain his vitality. If it were easy, he wouldn't delay it until now.
However, it is not impossible. Over the years, he has never stopped looking for ways to restore his vitality.
And there happens to be a precious medicine in Xianyue Palace that can restore the vitality of the cultivator and increase the life span of the cultivator.
The name of the treasure is Yuehua Xianlu, which is a treasure born from the eleventh-level laurel tree, the sacred object of Xianyue Palace.
Since there is a method, why doesn't Xu Mu use it?
Of course it’s because it’s too difficult!
Things that can replenish vitality are so precious even if you think about it. Because the hope of getting it was slim, he chose to give up and decided to improve his cultivation first and then think of a solution.
But the current situation forced him to find a way to get it.
Since there was no way out, Xu Mu could only rack his brains to find a way.
"It all depends on man!"
Xu Mu could only comfort himself in this way.
"Although the annual output of Yuehua Immortal Dew is very limited, Xianyue Palace has existed for so many years, so there must be inventory. Of course, there will definitely not be much." Xu Mu thought to himself.
There is no way, the demand for Yuehua Xianlu is too great.
Xu Mu has joined Xianyue Palace for three years and has never seen it on the sect's redemption list.
"But even if there is, it must be in the hands of some big shots in the sect. It's hard to get in touch with these big guys below their current status. Even if you get in touch with them, it's hard to come up with something to impress them. Maybe I can go to the black market and have a look! "
Where there is white, there is black. In the area managed by Xianyue Palace, there is also a dark side.
But the premise for all this is that he must come up with enough things in exchange.
"I do have a lot of magic weapons of level seven or above, but exchanging these things is just asking for trouble!"
It is difficult for a person who sells a large amount of golden elixir-stage magic weapons in the foundation-building stage not to be noticed.
As for the spiritual stones and materials, he left most of them to his clones, and the stock on hand was not large enough to exchange for the Moon Flower Immortal Dew.
"We can only sell the resources obtained from the Tianyang Palace Golden Pill!"
Although Xianyue Palace and Tianyang Palace are hostile forces, there is no guarantee that Xianyue Palace will not have spies from Tianyang Palace. It is precisely with this in mind that Xu Mu wanted to hide inside Xianyue Palace.
If he sells the magic weapon and materials of Tianyang Palace's golden elixir, if Tianyang Palace discovers it, he might be secretly assassinated. The risk is really not small, but obviously, he has to do it.
After thinking about it, Xu Mu, who had no better way, could only bite the bullet and act.
He first returned to his residence, arranged for two cheap apprentices, then found a reason to report to the Alchemy Hall, and then left Xianyue Palace.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
Xu Mu kept changing his appearance and aura, and after resolving many dangers, he finally sold all the things he didn't need and accumulated enough spiritual stones to exchange for Moonlight Fairy Dew.
"Tianyang Palace really didn't give up!"
In the past six months, he had met practitioners suspected of being Tianyang Palace more than once. If he hadn't been good at it and careful enough, he might have exposed himself.
Although three years is not a short time, it is not too long for a practitioner.
Based on what Xu Mu had committed, the other party would probably not let up even if they hunted him for ten years.
So, I still have to hold on!
After returning to the mountain gate and resting for a few days, Xu Mu began to visit the important people in the gate one by one who might have Yuehua Xianlu.
The result was pretty much what he expected, with most people ignoring him.
Who would be willing to make friends with an old cultivator who has just joined the sect and has exhausted his potential?
Moreover, Xu Mu looked like he had something to ask for, so no one wanted to pay attention to him.
Even if someone was willing to respond by chance and heard that he wanted to exchange Moonlight Fairy Dew, he would directly refuse, which made Xu Mu feel disappointed.
But in order to obtain the Moonlight Fairy Dew, Xu Mu could only persist shamelessly. Because of this incident, he gained a small reputation in the sect.
Of course, it's not a good reputation.
Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and someone was actually willing to meet him and promised to sell him Yuehua Xianlu.
This person's identity is quite special, and he is an unexpected figure for Xu Mu.
He is the son of the lord of Tianyang Palace, and his name is Du Beishuang.
"If you can refine the elixir in this recipe, I will sell you a bottle of Moonlight Fairy Dew, which will be enough to increase your life span by thirty years!"
Du Beishang, who was sitting on the high platform with an indifferent expression, threw a pill recipe to Xu Mu and said calmly.
Xu Mu checked it after catching it and found that except for the part where the medicinal materials were recorded, everything else was incomplete.
Not to mention a sixth-level alchemy master, even a seventh-level and eighth-level alchemy master cannot refine this kind of elixir. The elixir recipe must be completed.
But who would put a lot of effort into completing a prescription for an unknown purpose?
"I see!"
Xu Mu put the pill recipe away, said goodbye and left. Although the other party's request was difficult, it was better than running into obstacles everywhere.
Besides, he has a system.
