This Technique Can Make You Invisible

Xu Mu planned to take a look later to see what this technique was mainly about.

If it was still a defensive skill, he intended to give it to Ye Tong again.

There was no helping it—she was the first one whose favorability had maxed out. He wanted to give it to someone else, but it wasn’t possible.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a third-grade rare treasure gift box.]

……

Soon, this ten-draw session came to an end.

Aside from the Earth-grade technique and the rare treasure gift box, everything else was just the guaranteed minimum.

Xu Mu initiated another ten-draw. This time, the justice points were mostly provided by Li Yun. He wondered if he’d get anything good.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Qi Sea Pill gift box.]

What the hell?

Xu Mu frowned. What was this?

Qi Sea Pills could come in a gift box now?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Qi Sea Pill gift box.]

“?”

Xu Mu was baffled. Before this, he’d already started wondering if his system had some kind of obsession with Qi Sea Pills.

Not only did it provide the materials for Qi Sea Pills, but it also kept giving him the pills themselves.

Now it was even packaging them in gift boxes—and two of them at that.

Suddenly, Xu Mu narrowed his eyes. Could it be that this mysterious system could vaguely sense his needs?

What was the main purpose of Qi Sea Pills?

To enhance strength, of course. And Xu Mu had long felt that there weren’t enough powerful allies around him.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a seventh-grade Tyrant Body Pill gift box.]

“Nice!”

Xu Mu was pleasantly surprised. As an intermediate alchemist, he naturally knew about Tyrant Body Pills.

These pills could fortify the body, boosting both explosive power and defense.

And this defense wasn’t just against physical attacks—it also increased resistance to poisons.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 20 attribute points.]

……

This ten-draw didn’t yield any techniques, but he did get quite a few pills.

Still, all of them were useful. He planned to focus on enhancing two people in particular:

Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.

As for Ye Tong, Ye Yu, and Feng Yue, he just needed them to be capable of self-defense.

Aside from Meng Wanyue, the only ones who could truly assist him in battle were Dai Xingluo.

Well, Xu Ningbing also counted.

However, before Ye Chen, the Dragon King, and Xu Ningbing met, he wouldn’t recklessly boost her.

At the very least, he needed to confirm that Xu Ningbing wouldn’t fall for Ye Chen or develop any feelings for him.

Only then would Xu Mu feel comfortable enhancing her without reservations.

After all, in the original story, Ye Tong was Ye Chen’s “white moonlight,” his official wife in name.

But Ye Tong’s personality meant she wouldn’t be of much use in the later battles.

So, if we’re being honest, Xu Ningbing was the undisputed main heroine.

Xu Mu first checked the Earth-grade technique he’d obtained earlier—Hidden Barrier.

As soon as he reviewed it, a stream of memories integrated into his mind.

“Damn! This is good stuff.”

Xu Mu felt a surge of excitement. This technique was impressive.

Simply put, it allowed him to create an invisible barrier.

However, it wasn’t complete invisibility. At his current level, the barrier could only extend about twenty meters.

Meaning, within a twenty-meter radius, he could remain unseen.

But if someone stood beyond that range, they’d still spot him.

As his cultivation improved, this range could expand further.

The purpose of this technique wasn’t just stealth—it was designed for assassination.

Because the invisibility range was centered on Xu Mu, as long as he locked onto a target and maintained a twenty-meter distance,

he could stay hidden indefinitely.

He decided to keep this technique for himself in combat and not hand it over to Ye Tong for now.

Next, Xu Mu opened the Qi Sea Pill gift box to see how many were inside. Upon opening it, he found six pills.

Two boxes meant twelve in total—a considerable haul for him.

Afterward, he allocated all the points he’d earned.

This time, he’d done three ten-draws, most of which were just the guaranteed minimum.

Still, he’d gained a whopping 450 cultivation points and 200 attribute points.

After assigning all the points, his body grew even stronger. Xu Mu checked his current stats:

Name: Xu Mu

Identity: Villainous Saint Body, HR Manager of Xu Corporation

Realm: Divine Ability (Mid-stage)

Physique: 915

Spirit: 915

Cultivation Value: 480 (Max: 800)

Destiny Power: 1042

Xu Mu nodded to himself, satisfied with the progress.

But right now, Destiny Power seemed somewhat useless to him.

He suspected that aside from gifting it to others or exchanging it for justice points, it must have other hidden functions.

He just hadn’t uncovered them yet.

As the protagonist’s greatest asset, it surely had undiscovered applications.

“Xu Mu, you’re so romantic! Even preparing little surprises—I’m so jealous,” Feng Yue suddenly remarked, glancing at him from where she was watching TV.

Noticing the gift box in Xu Mu’s hand, she laughed.

Ye Tong and Ye Yu also turned to look.

“Brother-in-law, what’s that?”

Ye Yu was the first to jump off the couch and approach Xu Mu.

"This is an elixir I spent a fortune to acquire."

Xu Mu opened the box and handed Ye Yu two pills. "One for you and one for your sister."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Black text appeared above Ye Yu's head.

[Affection +10]

At the same time, the same affection prompt appeared above Ye Tong's head.

[Affection +10]

Xu Mu didn’t give Feng Yue her share in front of Ye Tong and Ye Yu, deciding to hand it to her after she left.

Feng Yue was now considered one of their own, and she was already aware of the existence of ancient martial artists.

"It’s getting late, I should head back and rest."

Feng Yue stood up from the couch and smiled at Ye Tong and Ye Yu. "See you tomorrow."

"I’ll walk you out."

Xu Mu offered.

Hearing this, Ye Tong and Ye Yu didn’t insist on being polite.

Feng Yue nodded lightly.

Once outside, Xu Mu handed her the elixir. "Take it as soon as you get back."

"I thought I wasn’t getting one."

Feng Yue stuck out her tongue playfully at Xu Mu.

[Affection +10]

"How could I forget you? Go get some rest."

After seeing Feng Yue off, Xu Mu turned back and led Ye Tong to their room.

Ye Yu puffed her cheeks as she watched their retreating figures, resolving to team up with that woman Feng Yue.

...

Early the next morning.

Xu Mu opened his eyes. His main goal for the day was to deliver the elixirs to Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.

But first, he needed to settle matters with Li Yun.

After breakfast, Xu Mu drove to Li Yun’s home to pick her up before heading to the Xu Corporation.

It was Li Yun’s first time visiting the headquarters in Jiang City. As she gazed at the towering building, she couldn’t help but feel awed.

Xu Mu was such an impressive heir to wealth, yet he remained humble and free of any arrogant airs.

[Affection +10]

Just as Xu Mu and Li Yun were about to enter the elevator, they ran into Xu Ningbing.

"Sis."

Xu Mu greeted her with a smile.

"Mm."

Xu Ningbing nodded, then turned her gaze to Li Yun beside him.

The three of them stepped into the elevator together, with Xu Mu standing in the middle.

Surrounded by towering peaks, he felt a little breathless.
