Feng Yue rolled her eyes, drooling, her whole body as if drained.
Each time she served tea seemed to touch her very soul.
Xu Mu stood with his hands behind his back by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside.
He had been too narrow-minded earlier; having more flesh there did have quite a few benefits.
Feng Yue first took a pill to stave off hunger, feeling an intangible force circulating within her body.
Her originally weak physique gradually recovered.
"Boss, if I want to cultivate, what should I do?"
Feng Yue looked at Xu Mu and asked.
"Someone like you probably doesn't exercise much daily, right?"
Xu Mu looked at Feng Yue and said, "No cultivation this week. Just run every day to first stimulate your body's vitality."
Feng Yue nodded, "I understand."
After finishing his workout, Xu Mu returned home. Seizing this moment of clear-mindedness, he resumed alchemy.
He continued refining until noon, finally completing all the Hongyuan Pills.
It must be said, Tantai Quan was quite trustworthy; the materials she sent were indeed considerably more.
In total, one hundred and eight Hongyuan Pills were refined.
Giving sixty to Tantai Quan left him with forty-eight. He had just given ten to Feng Yue.
Currently, Xu Mu had thirty-eight pills left.
Xu Mu's thinking was simple: priority should definitely be given to enhancing those who could fight for him.
Such as Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.
Simply put, these two could help him kill, becoming his right and left hand.
Xu Mu planned to give each of them ten pills.
The remaining eighteen would be distributed among those close to him.
Just then, Xu Mu's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Meng Wanyue.
"President Xu, where are you?"
Meng Wanyue's voice came through, "Ye Chen asked me to tail you."
"Come directly to my place, I'm home."
Xu Mu said into the phone.
Soon after, Meng Wanyue arrived at Xu Mu's door.
Today she was wearing a black casual outfit, her hair simply tied in a ponytail, presenting a different kind of beauty.
[Favorability +10]
"President Xu."
"From now on, when no one's around, change how you address me. Calling me President Xu all the time feels a bit distant."
Xu Mu said to Meng Wanyue with a smile.
"Then what should I call you?"
Meng Wanyue looked puzzled, then whispered, "I can't possibly... call you 'brother' like Dai Xingluo does, can I?"
She still found that term somewhat embarrassing; she wasn't as thick-skinned as Dai Xingluo.
Xu Mu was also stumped. After thinking, he finally said, "Choose between 'Brother Mu' or 'Boss'."
"I'll call you Boss for now."
Meng Wanyue said, lowering her head, but regretted it immediately. She felt 'Brother Mu' was more intimate.
"I think 'Brother Mu' sounds nice."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Then Brother Mu it is."
Meng Wanyue nodded repeatedly.
[Favorability +8]
Xu Mu first had Meng Wanyue follow him inside and gave her ten pills. "Same rule as before, one every three days for a month. Don't refuse."
This time, Meng Wanyue just nodded, with favorability appearing above her head again.
[Favorability +20]
She didn't know the grade of these pills, but she clearly understood that anything Xu Mu gave was definitely good.
"By the way, why did Ye Chen want you to follow me?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"Zhong Qianqian is missing. Ye Chen is currently searching. He knows you're also looking for Zhong Qianqian, so he asked me to follow you, figuring two approaches would be faster."
Meng Wanyue explained.
"What a coincidence."
Xu Mu revealed a smile, then said to Meng Wanyue, "No rush, let's eat first."
This time, Xu Mu also called Feng Yue over.
He personally cooked in the kitchen.
Currently, he had saved up enough for two ten-draws. After drawing later, he would let Ye Chen know that Zhong Qianqian was in Fang Chu's hands.
Feng Yue and Meng Wanyue sat on the sofa.
Meng Wanyue wasn't much of a talker, but Feng Yue was different. She initiated conversation with Meng Wanyue and even asked about cultivation.
From Feng Yue's words, Meng Wanyue realized this woman wasn't as 'tea' as she appeared.
After all, based on appearance and demeanor, this woman was the seductive type.
However, her way of speaking was quite amiable, much better than Dai Xingluo.
"Do you like Xu Mu?"
Feng Yue suddenly grabbed Meng Wanyue's hand and whispered in her ear.
Hearing this, Meng Wanyue's body jolted as if electrocuted, then she asked nervously, "Wh-what do you mean?"
"I like him too."
Feng Yue winked at Meng Wanyue. "How about we team up and win him over together?"
"How can that be? Sister Ye has been so good to me, how could I steal her..."
"Isn't it normal for big shots from hidden families to have multiple wives and concubines? Besides, if we treat Sister Ye Tong, the main wife, well in the future, I believe she'll accept us."
Feng Yue whispered.
"Alright, come get the food!"
Xu Mu poked his head out from the kitchen.
"Okay."
Meng Wanyue immediately stood up and hurried towards the kitchen.
Feng Yue, however, shook her head slightly. This boss of theirs was really liked by quite a few people.
At the dining table.
Xu Mu told them not to stand on ceremony. He himself opened his panel, ready to draw.
Feng Yue looked up at Xu Mu and chuckled, "Boss, what are you doing?"
"Keeping rhythm. A new melody suddenly popped into my head."
Xu Mu's fingers swayed lightly, then he clicked for a ten-draw.
"President Xu is really amazing."
Meng Wanyue said softly.
[Favorability +10]
Xu Mu watched the roulette wheel as rewards appeared one by one.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a third-grade natural treasure gift box.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 attribute points.]
Looking at the three items that appeared, Xu Mu felt it was pretty good. His primary goal now was to reach the Grandmaster realm.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 cultivation points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Earth-grade cultivation method, Seductive Bone Resolve Mantra.]
Holy crap?
Xu Mu looked at the name of this technique; it seemed a bit... improper.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a first-grade natural treasure gift box.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 attribute points.]
...
The ten-draw ended. This time, he obtained an Earth-grade cultivation method.
While eating, Xu Mu studied this Seductive Bone Resolve.
A female-oriented mental-type cultivation method. Requires high compatibility from the female practitioner.
Can influence the opponent's mind, transforming into the opponent's perfect mental image.
If the opponent is desireless or has powerful mental strength, it will have no effect whatsoever.
Seeing this, Xu Mu was full of surprise. This technique was interesting.
First, it was a mental-type technique. Second, only females could cultivate it.
Finally, it had requirements for the cultivator's compatibility.
Seeing 'mental-type technique,' Xu Mu remembered his own powerful mental strength.
He originally thought this stat was very useless, with almost no practical application.
Now it seemed, it still had great uses.
For example, with this technique, one would transform into the perfect image in his mind.
That would be, possessing Xu Ningbing's immense thunder, Feng Yue's perfect curves, and Ye Tong's beautiful legs and figure.
Xu Mu didn't dare think further.
However, he suddenly looked at Feng Yue—she seemed rather suited to this cultivation method.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
