Xu Mu immediately began his final ten-pull draw.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Tier-Five Heavenly Treasure Gift Box.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Qi Sea Pill Gift Box.]
……
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Profound-Rank cultivation technique, the Long-Shatter Sword.]
Xu Mu stared at the items that appeared before him.
The trash had arrived.
Still, he had obtained quite a few useful things this time, including a teleportation formation.
He immediately inspected the Void-Breaking Teleportation Formation he had received. After looking it over, an excited smile appeared on his face.
How powerful!
Simply put, as long as the formation was strong enough, its range could be extended almost without limit.
Of course, Xu Mu had no intention of wasting that many spirit stones. He only needed the formation to cover the entire city.
At most, that would be a radius of around a hundred kilometers.
What did that mean?
It would easily cover Ye Tong’s company and Ye Yu’s school.
However, this teleportation formation was different from the teleportation tokens in Xu Mu’s possession.
The teleportation tokens were bidirectional. For example, if he and Chen Xuan each held one, Xu Mu could teleport to Chen Xuan’s side, and Chen Xuan could also teleport to his side.
This formation, however, was unidirectional.
He first needed to inscribe a source formation, such as one in his own home.
Then he would inscribe formation keys and give them to Ye Tong.
Ye Tong could only teleport to his home. Xu Mu, on the other hand, could not use the formation in his home to teleport to Ye Tong’s location.
But that was already enough.
As long as Ye Tong and the others stayed in Jiang City, they could teleport directly home whenever they encountered danger in the future, then activate the protective illusion formation there.
Xu Mu checked the space he had obtained next. The moment he opened it, black characters appeared before his eyes.
[Space upgraded. It can now accommodate two people.]
He nodded with a smile. Although he had obtained fewer treasures this time, they were exactly what he needed to resolve the urgent problem of protecting Ye Tong and the others.
He had obtained 870 cultivation points and 400 attribute points this time, and immediately added them.
Afterward, he checked his current status panel.
Name: Xu Mu
Identity: Villain Saint Physique, Chairman of the Xu Group
Realm: Late Transcendent Stage
Physique: 4,435
Spirit: 4,435
Cultivation Points: 910 (maximum 3,200)
Heaven’s Mandate Power: 5,392
Xu Mu nodded inwardly. His strength had increased quite a bit once more. With Feng Yue’s halo added to the equation, reaching the peak of the Transcendent Stage was just a matter of time.
He closed the system and entered the underground illusion formation through the small teleportation formation there.
After carefully examining its range, he found it was still somewhat limited. If he wanted the teleportation formation to cover a hundred kilometers, the area occupied by their two or three villas was nowhere near enough.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Mu called Feng Yue.
It was not long before Feng Yue’s voice came through.
“Boss, what’s up?”
“Property prices have dropped quite a bit recently. Talk to the developer of our villa community and have him purchase all the unsold villas. Replace the property-management staff and the rest with our own people.”
Xu Mu spoke into the phone.
“Understood. What about the people who’ve already bought villas? Should we offer them a high price to move out?”
Feng Yue asked from the other end.
“No need. Don’t make too much of a fuss.”
Xu Mu hung up after saying that. He looked around and began expanding the underground area.
To prevent the ground above from collapsing, Xu Mu specially used a fifth-level formation to support it.
That way, even a powerful earthquake would not be able to bring down the villa community.
Moreover, Xu Mu did not expand toward the center of the villa community. Instead, he extended the underground space toward the mountains behind it.
No one lived on that side of the mountain. He could excavate a huge cavern inside it without anyone finding out.
With his current cultivation realm and the assistance of the Spirit-Devouring Sacred Gu, this task was incredibly easy.
If he had not been worried that too much noise would make the people nearby think an earthquake was happening, he could have worked even faster.
By nightfall, he had finally finished expanding the underground area.
After that, he began inscribing a ninth-level formation. He had completely mastered every formation he drew from the system, and with his intense focus, he worked extremely quickly.
He continued until Ye Tong came downstairs to call him for dinner.
Today, besides Shi Fumeng, Feng Yue had also invited Mu Qingying over.
Mu Qingying was still wearing her office uniform. The buttons across her chest were stretched extremely tight, as if those terrifyingly full curves were about to burst free.
“Xu Mu, this is the contract for the villa community. Take a look.”
Mu Qingying took out a document, walked over, and handed it to Xu Mu.
“No need. I trust you.”
Xu Mu waved his hand at Mu Qingying with a smile.
[Favorability +10]
Mu Qingying nodded slightly and put the contract away.
“Exactly. We’re all family.”
Ye Tong walked over with a smile and took Mu Qingying’s hand.
As she spoke, the same favorability notification appeared above her head.
“Honey, come eat. The food’s going to get cold.”
Ye Tong called out to Xu Mu.
“Okay.”
Xu Mu nodded.
During dinner, he told everyone about the teleportation formation.
Naturally, he could not tell them that he had obtained it through the system’s lottery. Instead, he said that he had found it in another ancient ruin.
Upon hearing about the formation, everyone was stunned—not only Ye Tong and the others, whose cultivation realms were low, but even Shi Fumeng was left speechless.
A teleportation range of a hundred kilometers was clearly the mark of an apex formation.
If there were enough formations like this, one could practically teleport anywhere throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom.
“By the way, how many vacant villas are there in our Jiang River Villa Community?”
Xu Mu suddenly looked at Mu Qingying.
“There are more than thirty.”
Mu Qingying answered.
“Then why don’t you and your father choose one?” Xu Mu said with a smile. “They’re empty anyway.”
[Favorability +10]
Mu Qingying’s expression became slightly unnatural. She indeed had not bought a house yet and was still renting one with her father.
But if she moved here, wouldn’t that put her a little too close to Xu Mu?
Her father had been urging her to marry Xu Mu and become his wife every single day lately. He kept saying that the Xu family was a hidden aristocratic clan and that marrying into it would bring nothing but benefits.
“I…I’ll go home and discuss it with my father.”
Mu Qingying thought for a moment before replying.
“That’s fine. In any case, the property management and security here have all become our people.”
Xu Mu nodded.
He figured that since there were so many vacant villas, he could invite not only Mu Qingying, but also Li Yun, Zhao Yingying, Zhong Qianqian, and the others to move in. That would make it more convenient to obtain Justice Points in the future.
Of course, that would depend on whether they were willing.
After dinner, Xu Mu distributed some pills to the women, earning quite a number of Justice Points. After all, Ye Tong was there.
Afterward, Xu Mu went to the illusion formation and continued working.
……
It was not until the early hours of the following morning that Xu Mu finally finished inscribing the formations here.
He first consumed a large number of spirit stones—enough to keep the formation running for a year.
If that was not enough later, he could simply add more.
Once the formation was complete, he inscribed another fifteen keys in succession.
When Xu Mu emerged from the illusion formation, Ye Tong had just gotten out of bed as well.
“You worked all night?”
Ye Tong walked up to Xu Mu and asked with concern.
“I’ve offended quite a few people recently, and they’re all very powerful. Naturally, I have to protect you all first and secure my rear. That way, I can venture out and train without worry.”
Xu Mu smiled and handed the keys to Ye Tong.
“As long as you inject qi into one of these, you can instantly teleport back to our home from anywhere in Jiang City.”
“Hubby, you’re amazing.”
Looking at the keys, Ye Tong could not help sighing in admiration. In the end, she put them all into her spatial ring.
“When Ye Yu and the others come back, remember to give this to them. If it isn’t enough, I’ll make time to keep working on it.”
Xu Mu said with a smile.
“I understand.”
Ye Tong nodded.
Just then, Xu Mu’s phone began to vibrate. He took it out and glanced at the screen, discovering that it was a call from Nalan Shisan.
He answered. Why was Nalan Shisan calling him so early in the morning?
“Xu Mu, something’s happened.”
Nalan Shisan’s voice was grave on the other end.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
