Xu Shou's face immediately turned solemn. He gently waved his arm and said in a deep voice, "I really feel that there has been a change in my body."
"Humph! It must be a psychological effect."
Xu Ningbing gave a soft snort. She thought she must be out of her mind to actually believe Xu Mu's nonsense.
She really thought he had the ability to help someone enter the realm of ancient martial artists.
She turned around again and walked towards the door. She'd better get back to work first.
However, just as Xu Ningbing's hand grasped the doorknob, she was stunned by Xu Mu's words.
"Old man, tell me the truth. Did you damage your meridians?"
Xu Mu stared at Xu Shou and asked.
"How... How do you know?"
Xu Shou was greatly shocked. He had never told anyone about this secret.
"My medicine won't go wrong. Since you haven't entered the level of an ancient martial artist, there must be something wrong with your body."
Xu Mu took out another red pill from the plastic bag. "Fortunately, I made preparations in advance. Take this."
Originally, this red pill was intended to further enhance Xu Shou's strength.
Now it seemed that wouldn't work.
One hundred points of destiny power could repair his father's meridians, and Xu Mu definitely wouldn't refuse.
"Kid, you're scaring me a bit."
This time, Xu Shou took the red pill voluntarily and stuffed it into his mouth.
At this time, Xu Ningbing walked back. Looking at Xu Shou's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.
Moreover, a person like Xu Shou wouldn't be bored enough to play a childish game with Xu Mu.
Seeing that Xu Shou had taken the pill, Xu Mu consumed one hundred points of destiny power to repair Xu Shou's meridians.
The black words appeared again.
[Meridians repair completed]
[Detecting the opponent's physical strength, the attributes have reached the peak of an ordinary person]
[Open the cultivation talent panel]
Name: Xu Shou
Person: Chairman of Jiang City Xu Group
Favorability: (Reached the upper limit)
Destiny level: 2 (Max level is 10)
Xu Mu found that Xu Shou's destiny level had also changed.
He continued to click on the detailed information, and other data about Xu Shou also appeared.
Realm: Early stage of Ming Jin
Physical strength: 45
Spirit: 20
Seeing this, Xu Mu let out a sigh of relief. He was finally successful. He checked his own destiny power, and it had dropped to 40 points.
However, being able to repair Xu Shou's meridians was a great joy for Xu Mu.
At this time, Xu Shou's face was looking worse and worse. The familiar power in his body began to flow.
He couldn't believe it. He was crippled by someone back then, which made him a complete useless person who could never step into the realm of ancient martial artists again.
Failing to protect his wife back then was his greatest pain in the past twenty years.
But now, his meridians had actually been cured by a pill from his own son.
"Are you two playing a childish game?"
Xu Ningbing rolled her eyes.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned by what she saw.
Xu Shou lifted one hand and grabbed the edge of the desk in front of him, then picked up the whole desk off the ground.
This desk was bought by Xu Ningbing for Xu Shou back then. It was made of solid wood and weighed a full three hundred catties.
Xu Shou didn't lift it up; he picked it up just by his grip strength.
Could it be...
Had her father really entered the realm of ancient martial artists?
"Kid, where did you get this red pill?"
Xu Shou put the desk back on the ground. He couldn't calm down at all.
This son in front of him exceeded his expectations by too much.
"This pill was given to me by that senior. He said it could save my life in a critical moment and had the ability to reorganize and regenerate meridians."
Xu Mu made up an excuse casually.
"You shouldn't have given me such a precious thing!"
Xu Shou sighed helplessly. If he had known it was so powerful, he wouldn't have taken it.
"Who else should I give it to? You're my father. My greatest wish in this life is to see my father become a success so that I can just loaf around."
Xu Mu said with a smile. "I'll go back first."
Xu Ningbing was dumbfounded. She glanced at Xu Shou and immediately asked, "Dad, you're not really..."
"Yes, I'm very sure."
Xu Shou nodded. After all, he was originally an ancient martial artist.
Seeing Xu Mu leave, Xu Ningbing hurriedly quickened her steps to catch up. "Xu Mu, do you still have that pill?"
"No. Didn't I just say that the natural treasures have been used up?"
Xu Mu glanced at Xu Ningbing, and there was a hint of amusement in his heart.
This Xu Ningbing was really the same as in the plot, dreaming of entering the realm of ancient martial artists.
He opened the door and ignored Xu Ningbing.
Since you're so cold and aloof, then don't come to me.
"Dad, I'll leave first."
Xu Ningbing said hello to Xu Shou and then left the office to catch up with Xu Mu.
At this time, Xu Shou didn't even pay attention to Xu Ningbing's words. He was completely immersed in his own world.
He stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and stared at the picture of a woman on it, lost in thought.
"I'm already fifty years old. Do I... still have a chance?"
Xu Shou tightly clenched his fist and murmured softly.
Outside, Xu Ningbing had caught up with Xu Mu. The two of them stood together at the elevator entrance, waiting for the elevator.
Xu Ningbing felt a bit awkward, but she still took the initiative to speak. "Xu Mu, what are those natural treasures? If I can help you find them, can you make a pill for me too?"
"Natural treasures are hard to come by. How can they be so easy to find?"
Xu Mu looked at Xu Ningbing with a smile. "It's also very troublesome to make natural treasures. But, since you're my sister."
Hearing this, Xu Ningbing felt a little touched.
She had looked down on Xu Mu since childhood, thinking he was a disgrace to the Xu family.
But after this period of time, she found that she might have misjudged him.
Xu Mu was far from what she had thought.
[Favorability + 10]
Seeing the black words above Xu Ningbing's head, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile. It was the first time that Xu Ningbing had increased her favorability towards him by ten points at once.
He took out his phone and sent Xu Ningbing the names of several natural treasures.
Since Xu Mu had a mastery of medicine, he of course knew which natural treasures could enhance one's strength and help one step into the realm of ancient martial artists.
The natural treasures he sent to Xu Ningbing were all correct.
If she could really find them, she would have a high probability of entering the realm of ancient martial artists even without Xu Mu's refining.
"Okay, I'll write these down. Do you have pictures? It's not easy to find them just by the names."
Xu Ningbing looked at her phone and asked.
"I'll draw pictures for you when I have time. These things are only recorded in ancient books."
As Xu Mu was speaking, the elevator arrived.
Xu Mu and Xu Ningbing walked into the elevator together. Xu Ningbing got off at the next floor, while Xu Mu returned to his own office.
When he entered the office, he found that the books he had shattered with his hidden strength yesterday still hadn't been cleaned up.
So, he called Meng Wanyue to his office.
"Mr. Xu, what do you need me for?"
Meng Wanyue walked in and asked.
"Call the cleaner of the company to help me sweep the floor."
Xu Mu pointed at the book fragments on the ground.
"I'll do it. I'm free anyway."
Meng Wanyue voluntarily fetched a broom and bent down to sweep the floor.
Xu Mu was looking at Meng Wanyue at this moment, thinking about what he could do to further improve her favorability towards him.
"By the way, Mr. Xu," Meng Wanyue suddenly looked up.
"What's up?" Xu Mu asked.
"Just now, the Dragon King called me," Meng Wanyue said, looking at Xu Mu.
Xu Mu's face immediately turned solemn.
