"Senior Sister, I really didn't eat it."
Wu Tian felt a bit helpless. "I have no reason to lie to you."
"Of course you have a reason. If you ate it, you'd owe me a huge favor. I could have taken it for myself, but I let you have it."
Shi Fumeng's face was cold. "I hate people like you who refuse to admit what they've done."
Just then, Wu Tian's voice suddenly turned hoarse. Clearly, Li Poshan had taken over his body again.
"Fumeng, do you not even believe my words? If he didn't eat it, he didn't eat it. What's the point of lying to you?"
"I really don't believe it! Master, you just said that Xu Mu is at the age of being a simp, but his mind is extremely meticulous. If that isn't lying to me, what is?"
Shi Fumeng scoffed coldly. "Back when I was under your tutelage, you were biased. You secretly taught cultivation methods to my senior brother and sister. Did you think I didn't know?"
"Shi Fumeng, you are out of line! How dare you speak to me like that?"
"I was wrong, okay?"
Shi Fumeng turned and walked away.
"Wait!"
Li Poshan shouted at her back.
But Shi Fumeng didn't stop. Instead, she sped up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She was going to find Xu Mu. She didn't want to waste the relationship she had finally managed to build.
She felt that as long as she used a little wit, she could definitely win him over.
No matter how meticulous Xu Mu's mind was, he was ultimately still a young man.
"Damn it! I'm so frustrated!"
Wu Tian stomped his foot on the ground. "Master, what do you think we should do about this Xu Mu?"
"The feud has already been forged. The other party is obviously no ordinary person, possessing so many powerful cultivation methods at such a young age."
Li Poshan's voice rang out. "Either kill him, or get his cultivation methods and then kill him. There is no other choice."
...
Xu Mu had already left the area with Chen Xuan, Jiang Huihui, and the others.
Just as he was approaching his helicopter, a message popped up on his phone.
He took it out to take a look and found it was from Tian Xi.
"Big brother, whatever grade-eight heavenly materials and earthly treasures you need, I'll ask my grandpa to request them from the Sanitation Department and secretly give them to you."
Seeing this message, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile.
He then replied, "No need. I saved you, and your grandpa kind of saved me too, so we're even. Next time you come to Jiangbei, remember to text me. I'll treat you to a meal."
Afterward, Xu Mu boarded the helicopter with Chen Xuan and Jiang Huihui.
The sun had just set when they arrived in Jiang City. After dropping off Chen Xuan first, Xu Mu continued to fly the helicopter to take Jiang Huihui home.
Jiang Huihui was overjoyed today, having obtained a spatial ring for free.
However, Xu Mu took that Nokia phone with him.
The phone contained hundreds of text messages, which surely held many secrets.
...
Returning to the Xu family manor, Xu Mu landed the helicopter with precision.
Jumping down from it, he looked up at the sky. It was just starting to get dark.
If he had driven, it would definitely be late at night by the time he got back here.
Buying this thing really saved a lot of time.
Xu Mu took out his phone and checked the time. The company was already off work, so Xu Ningbing should be back soon.
He planned to give the remaining pills to her.
"Young Master, the Master and the Young Miss are not at home."
The butler in the distance saw Xu Mu approaching and immediately came up to greet him with a smile.
"I know, you don't need to worry about me."
Xu Mu waved him off and headed to the living room.
Sitting on the sofa with nothing to do, he opened the system.
Checking his Justice Points, he found that he had enough for three ten-pull draws.
So, he started the lottery to see what good items he could get this time.
The roulette wheel started spinning, its light flickering faintly.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Attribute Points]
Xu Mu revealed a faint smile. A standard start.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a God-tier ability: Level 1 Focus]
"Holy shit?"
Xu Mu suddenly sat up straight. He had obtained another God-tier ability.
However, he didn't check it right away, but waited until the lottery was completely over.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Qi Sea Pill Gift Box]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Grade-Three Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure Gift Box]
The first ten-pull ended. Taking advantage of his good luck, Xu Mu immediately started the second ten-pull.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Cultivation Points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Grade-Three Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure Gift Box]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 Cultivation Points]
...
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Storage Space]
Seeing this final reward, Xu Mu nodded to himself. This item was pretty good.
He still had one more ten-pull left, but through his perception, he noticed that Xu Ningbing had already arrived home.
So he didn't pull again, but first checked the God-tier ability he had obtained.
Level 1 Focus: Allows oneself to be fully immersed and free of distractions.
After using the ability, performance in the focused task increases by ten percent, but awareness of the surroundings decreases.
Xu Mu carefully studied the ability and finally understood how to use it.
It was too formidable, another powerful ability.
Simply put, as long as he used the ability while doing something, the outcome of that action would be enhanced by ten percent.
For example, if Xu Mu used the Focus ability to refine pills, the pill's efficacy would increase by ten percent from his original baseline.
If he was breaking a formation, after using the ability, both the success rate and speed would increase by ten percent.
It could be said that this was another rule-type ability.
In the focused state, he could do anything.
In other words, if he used Focus while fighting Ye Tong, the duration would also increase by ten percent.
"Damn! That's really overpowered."
Xu Mu's perception picked up that Xu Ningbing had already parked her car over there, so he allocated all the points he obtained this time.
From the two ten-pulls, with a total of seventeen guaranteed drops, he gained 300 Cultivation Points and 150 Attribute Points.
He added them all up, feeling his body continue to strengthen.
After everything was done, he checked his status panel.
Name: Xu Mu
Identity: Villain Holy Body, HR Manager of Xu Group
Realm: Early Grandmaster
Physique: 1480
Spirit: 1480
Cultivation Value: 1030 (Max 1600)
Destiny Power: 3012
Seeing this, Xu Mu nodded to himself. He currently still had one unused ten-pull.
With a bit more effort, it wouldn't be long before he could enter the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.
Just then, the villa's front door was pushed open, and Xu Ningbing walked in wearing sportswear.
[Affection +5]
Seeing this, Xu Mu smiled. This woman was finally like the other women, showing an increase in affection upon meeting.
He looked at the two stylized Dragon Country characters on Xu Ningbing's sportswear and asked curiously, "Why are you wearing this today?"
"I went to find Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo again. That Feng Yue was there too."
Xu Ningbing flipped her long hair and sat on the sofa, saying indifferently, "Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo have both reached the mid-stage of the Divine Ability realm."
Hearing this, Xu Mu nodded slightly. His efforts hadn't been in vain after all.
In the secular world, this realm could pretty much be considered an expert.
Ordinary patriarchs of hidden families probably wouldn't be their match.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Mu suddenly noticed that Xu Ningbing's expression was a little off.
"It's nothing. They just wanted to thank you for casually gifting them a dozen or twenty pills at a time."
Xu Ningbing crossed her arms and said coolly, "You really are quite generous."
Hearing this, Xu Mu chuckled. "Are you jealous?"

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
