Xu Mu only went to rest after teaching everyone how to use the formation.
With this formation, everyone's safety would be guaranteed, at least when he was not at home.
Early the next morning, Xu Mu called Liang Yi over.
"You can send a message to your master now. Just say you found out I'm not dead."
Xu Mu said to Liang Yi, "This should be considered a great merit, right?"
Liang Yi nodded gently, but then a look of worry appeared on her face. "Xu Mu, if Mr. Soul knows you're still alive, just relying on the level-nine formation here..."
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."
Xu Mu smiled.
His expectations weren't high; as long as this formation could trap Wang Hun for half an hour, he would most likely be finished.
Because there was another top-tier expert living in Jiang City: Wei Jingzhi.
Last time, Wang Hun teamed up with Chi Ting of the Jiuli Clan to control the corpses of the Xuantian Sect in battle.
Those corpses were all old friends of Wei Jingzhi. If he knew Wang Hun was trapped in this formation, he would definitely be the first to charge in.
"Oh, right."
Liang Yi took out the formation key Xu Mu had given her. "I should return this formation key to you. It's not safe with me. It won't be too late for me to hold onto it when I'm truly working by your side like Tong Guoguo."
Xu Mu nodded. "Alright. In the future, if you're running low on wine, it's best to come find me a few days in advance."
Liang Yi gave a sound of agreement.
After seeing Liang Yi off, Xu Mu began to ponder the upcoming trip to the Inner Realm.
First of all, he would definitely bring Chen Xuan.
At present, he didn't really need Chen Xuan's strength; what he needed was Chen Xuan's protagonist luck.
As for Fu Jinyu, she definitely had to come along too. He was considering whether to bring Tong Guoguo.
Tong Guoguo's disguise formation couldn't fool true experts, not to mention her unique physique and cultivation method.
If Wang Hun was also there, he would definitely notice her immediately.
After thinking it over, Xu Mu decided that the fewer people, the better.
Only three people would go this time: Fu Jinyu, Chen Xuan, and himself.
With everything ready, Xu Mu first called Fu Jinyu to ask if she was interested in the Inner Realm.
Upon hearing this, Fu Jinyu immediately prepared to rush over.
She had always possessed the mindset of a powerhouse.
If it were an ordinary person who had almost been killed in the Inner Realm previously, they definitely wouldn't dare to go back so soon.
But Fu Jinyu was completely different; she only grew braver with every setback.
While waiting for her to arrive, Xu Mu refined some more pills.
He also took the opportunity to go to the underground illusion formation to brief Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, Tong Guoguo, and Feng Yue.
Everyone was a bit surprised that Xu Mu wasn't taking Tong Guoguo.
However, Xu Mu had his reasons.
Tong Guoguo gladly accepted it.
...
At noon, Xu Mu received a call from Fu Jinyu and immediately drove to the station.
From a distance, he spotted Fu Jinyu's tall figure.
Today, she was wearing a black overcoat, her long black hair cascading down her back.
"Sister Empress."
Xu Mu walked over with a smile.
Fu Jinyu turned around, still wearing her sunglasses.
Xu Mu immediately noticed her front; her overcoat was unbuttoned, mainly because there were two massive fierce beasts hidden inside, making it difficult to button up.
"Where is the Inner Realm? When are we heading over?"
Fu Jinyu asked immediately upon seeing Xu Mu.
[Affection +10]
"We leave today, but before that, we have other things to do."
After saying that, Xu Mu drove Fu Jinyu away.
Fu Jinyu sat in the back, looking out the window. When the car reached a deserted suburban road, Xu Mu suddenly pulled over.
Then he got out, opened the rear door, and got in.
Fu Jinyu took off her sunglasses and frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Sister Empress, I have a treasure here that can improve your strength."
Xu Mu smiled and took out a pill. "This contains a grade-nine natural treasure. It can significantly boost your current realm."
"Grade-nine?"
Fu Jinyu stared unblinkingly at the pill, her throat bobbing. "You... are giving this to me?"
"I can give it to you, but this treasure is too valuable. You have to pay some sort of price."
Xu Mu said to Fu Jinyu.
"What price?"
Fu Jinyu's expression remained calm. After all, if Xu Mu really just gave her a grade-nine natural treasure for free, she would feel bad accepting it.
"I want to... taste the flavor of those fierce beasts."
Xu Mu looked solemnly at Fu Jinyu, and at those beasts.
"Fierce..."
Fu Jinyu's eyes instantly turned bone-chillingly cold. "Xu Mu! Do you have a death wish? If you're hungry, go find your wife!"
"My wife's beasts aren't as fierce as yours."
Xu Mu naturally knew that given Fu Jinyu's personality, she definitely wouldn't agree.
He just wanted to give himself some room to bargain.
"Shameless descendant of Yanhuang!"
Fu Jinyu crossed her arms, her unique Sky Demon Clan eyes glancing at Xu Mu as if looking at trash.
[Affection +8]
She didn't know what was going on, but upon hearing Xu Mu's condition, she actually felt a little secret delight.
Originally, when Xu Mu took out such a precious pill, she thought the condition would be for her to undertake a dangerous mission.
To think it was just this?
She didn't fully understand her own inner thoughts, but there was one thing she was certain of.
If any other man dared to say such a thing, she would have killed him long ago.
But she didn't hate Xu Mu.
"Huh?"
Xu Mu was dumbfounded on the spot when he saw the affection rating increase. What was going on?
Could it be...
"Let me tell you, it's definitely not happening here. Wait until this Inner Realm trip is over, and we'll see if I manage to obtain any treasures."
Fu Jinyu said indifferently, "If I'm in a good mood, I might... give you one second."
"Deal! It's a promise!"
Xu Mu immediately popped the pill into Fu Jinyu's mouth, not expecting her to actually agree.
He didn't bargain. One second? What a joke!
Once I get a taste, I'm never letting go.
As soon as Fu Jinyu swallowed it, she felt a pure burst of power explode within her body.
It caused her long black hair to flutter wildly.
She clenched her fists, feeling the power continuously surging within her, and was deeply shocked.
Xu Mu's pill had actually provided such a massive boost.
A treasure of this caliber was enough to set off a storm of blood and slaughter.
She even felt that giving Xu Mu only one second was doing him a disservice.
[Affection +30]
Xu Mu called Chen Xuan again to tell him about the Inner Realm trip.
Chen Xuan readily agreed. He had been wanting to find some experts to test out his newly learned Heaven-tier cultivation method for a long time.
After successfully picking up Chen Xuan, Xu Mu headed to the Xu family manor.
He piloted a helicopter and headed to Nanzhao.
Their destination this time was located in the border region.
As usual, Xu Mu parked the helicopter on the roof of a hotel in Nushan.
According to the address written on the note, they were to gather at another hotel.
Xu Mu put on a baseball cap, applying a simple disguise, and strolled around the area with the other two.
Many of the scenic spots here had a Southeast Asian flair.
However, since it was practically right next to the border, the overall facilities were rather rudimentary.
Xu Mu, Fu Jinyu, and Chen Xuan arrived at the hotel where they were supposed to meet.
Through his perception, he didn't detect any members of the Jiuli Clan; clearly, they hadn't arrived yet.
"You guys look like you're looking for work, aren't you?"
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a hat asked with a smile.
Only then did Xu Mu realize that while he had been focusing his perception earlier, his eyes had been fixed on the hotel wall, which was covered in job postings.
"That's right."
Xu Mu smiled as he looked at the dark-skinned middle-aged man.
"Why don't you come work for our company? We happen to be hiring right now. The monthly salary is twenty to thirty thousand, and the base pay alone is eight to nine thousand."
The middle-aged man chuckled. "How about you guys come with me? You all look quite presentable; I'm sure you'll make a lot more than I do."
Xu Mu broke into a grin. "Well, then we really do have to go take a look."

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.
