While the two were talking, Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo had already come out of the room.
Shi Fumeng got up from the sofa. "Just tell me, are you going or not?"
"What treasures are there in this branch?"
Xu Mu asked calmly.
"As far as I know, this branch is the pharmaceutical department of the Immortality Research Institute. There must be plenty of rare natural treasures there."
Shi Fumeng explained. "I discovered it a long time ago, but I didn't dare to take action because I lacked manpower."
"Are you not lying to me?"
Xu Mu was a bit tempted.
Since it was a pharmaceutical department, it meant there must be a large number of medicinal herbs there.
Even if they were of low quality, as long as there were enough of them, it would still be a huge fortune.
"If I, Shi Fumeng, lie to you, may I be struck by lightning."
Shi Fumeng raised her hand and said.
"Do you know which experts are inside?"
Xu Mu frowned and asked.
"There must be those at the Transcendent Mortal Realm. That goes without saying, but I don't know the specific stage of the Transcendent Mortal Realm they are at."
Shi Fumeng shook her head.
"Go back first. Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer this afternoon."
Xu Mu said to Shi Fumeng.
"Okay."
Shi Fumeng immediately got up. "I'm waiting for your good news."
After saying that, she left.
Xu Mu immediately took out his phone and dialed Zhong Qianqian's number.
After just a few busy tones, Zhong Qianqian's voice came from the other end.
"Xu Mu, what's up?"
"Can you hack into the surveillance cameras in our community?" Xu Mu asked.
"Of course. I left a Trojan virus there last time."
"A woman in a JK uniform walked out of my house. I want you to track her and see where she's going."
Xu Mu decided to follow her to see what she was up to.
He was finding it harder and harder to figure her out.
"Okay, this is easy."
After Zhong Qianqian said that, she hung up the phone.
"Brother Mu, are we going to deal with the Immortality Research Institute this time?"
Meng Wanyue sat on the sofa and asked with concern.
"I want to go and have a look. If there are a large number of rare natural treasures there, as long as we can seize them, we can continue to improve your strength."
Xu Mu smiled and looked at the two of them.
[Favorability + 10]
"Brother, you should think more about yourself."
Dai Xingluo was surprisingly normal this time. She even felt quite ashamed inside.
So far, she had never really helped Xu Mu.
Instead, she had always been receiving favors from Xu Mu.
"I almost forgot. Here, one for each of you."
Xu Mu took out golden pills from his body. "These are refined from divine medicine. They can improve your spiritual power. They are very rare."
"Divine medicine?"
Dai Xingluo widened her eyes. She had heard from the sect master in the sect that he would be willing to bet the lives of the entire sect for a ninth - grade rare natural treasure.
But what she was holding now was a divine medicine far beyond the ninth - grade.
[Favorability + 20]
Meng Wanyue was also looking at the golden pills in Xu Mu's palm. There was already a layer of mist in front of her eyes.
"What? Do I have to feed you?"
Xu Mu asked indifferently.
Hearing this, the two of them each took one and ate it.
As soon as they swallowed it, they felt as if there was an explosion in their bodies. The terrifying medicinal effect instantly filled their whole bodies.
It made their cheeks flush red.
The powerful medicinal effect gradually dissipated, and their cultivation realms also improved a lot.
"Brother Mu, I just entered the middle stage of the Divine Ability Realm, but now I feel like I've been in this stage for a long time."
Meng Wanyue raised her hand and felt her own strength.
"Brother, I think it won't take long for me to advance again."
Dai Xingluo smiled and hugged Xu Mu's arm. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and gave Xu Mu a peck on the side of his face.
[Favorability + 10]
Seeing this, Meng Wanyue immediately clenched her fists. "Dai Xingluo, watch your step. There are cameras at home. Don't let Sister Ye see this!"
"Let her see. I'm not afraid."
Dai Xingluo made a face at Meng Wanyue.
Xu Mu touched his cheek and looked at Meng Wanyue awkwardly. "Wanyue..."
Before he could finish his words, Meng Wanyue directly kissed him on the lips.
Immediately, her cheeks were as red as a cooked hairy crab.
"Damn it! You dared to kiss on the lips?"
Dai Xingluo couldn't stand it anymore. She directly pushed Xu Mu down on the sofa and kissed him on the lips, and even rubbed it hard.
"Okay."
Xu Mu pushed Dai Xingluo away. Sitting on the sofa at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had been taken advantage of.
However, it really exceeded Xu Mu's expectations that Meng Wanyue, with her personality, dared to take the initiative to kiss him.
He took a deep breath and found it smelled sweet. Did all beautiful women not have bad breath?
"You two continue to practice. I need to go out."
Xu Mu still didn't plan to take them with him this time.
To deal with those at the Transcendent Mortal Realm, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths at present. He had to at least improve their cultivation to the Grandmaster Realm.
...
Xu Mu went to the underground garage of the villa area and drove out his Geely.
After asking Zhong Qianqian, he learned that Shi Fumeng was currently having a meal at a restaurant.
Xu Mu came to the roadside and checked through his perception.
He found that, like most people, Shi Fumeng was having a meal while looking at her phone.
From time to time, several young men mustered up the courage to ask for her WeChat.
But Shi Fumeng refused them all with the words "I already have a boyfriend".
After the meal, Shi Fumeng walked to a nearby park.
She was sitting on a bench at the moment, staring into the distance in a daze.
She didn't use her phone to contact anyone else the whole time, nor did she have any strange actions.
Xu Mu got out of the car and went to the park. He sat down on the bench next to Shi Fumeng.
"How did you know I was here?"
Shi Fumeng asked in surprise.
"This is Jiangshi. Of course I know."
Xu Mu leaned on the bench and said indifferently. "I've agreed. I'll accompany you there."
"Great! Then let's set off now!"
Shi Fumeng's face was full of excitement. "We'll split the treasures we get fifty - fifty."
"You still haven't told me what race you are. Why do you say you're different from other alien races?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
Shi Fumeng raised her hand, and a ball of water condensed at her fingertips. She rubbed it to wash her fingers.
Then she took off the colored contact lenses in her eyes, revealing one blue eye.
Different from the blue of white people, her eyes were dark blue, like the sea.
"I'm from the Gonggong Clan, the descendants of the Water God."
Shi Fumeng put the colored contact lenses back on.
"Gonggong?"
Xu Mu was full of surprise. There were records about this race in history. "Isn't that also part of our Yanhuang?"
"No! We cooperated with the Yan Emperor's tribe in the early days, but then we fought against the Yellow Emperor's tribe and finally lost."
Shi Fumeng explained. "To be honest, we're more like the Jiuli Tribe. We all grew up on the land of Shenzhou, but in the end, the Yellow Emperor won."
"So do you have a deep hatred for us?"
Xu Mu asked curiously.
"Even if we do, so what? There are very few people left in our clan. Almost all of them are dead. The alien races don't accept us, and neither does the Yanhuang. We just want to survive now."
Shi Fumeng sighed.
"Seventy - thirty split. I get seventy and you get thirty, because I'm going to bring some experts with me."
Xu Mu was a cautious person and planned to call Fu Jinyu as well.
However, Shi Fumeng probably doesn't like her because Fu Jinyu is much older than her.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

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.”
