All-Round Enhancement, Nalan Thirteen's Phone Call

"Don't worry, there's plenty for everyone."

Xu Mu smiled at them.

Next, the dining table turned into a scene of fierce competition.

They all frantically stuffed food into their mouths.

Among them, Dai Xingluo, Meng Wanyue, Xu Ningbing, and Jiang Huihui were mainly competing.

They all knew that their own strength was insufficient, and they urgently needed to improve their power, even if what they gained this time was just a tiny boost.

But Tong Guoguo was different. She was shoveling food into her mouth quickly, not for any other reason—it was just because the dishes were delicious!

With such tasty food being snatched up by the others, how could Tong Guoguo not be anxious?

As for Ye Tong and Feng Yue, as usual, they ate their meals elegantly, quietly watching the others fight it out.

Xu Mu didn't even eat; he simply looked at the affection points occasionally popping up above their heads.

Combined with Ye Tong's doubling effect, he was so satisfied it felt like he was already full.

In no time at all, the dishes Xu Mu had cooked were completely cleaned up by them.

Xu Mu's untouched bowl of rice was taken by Xu Ningbing, who ate it in a few mouthfuls.

After eating and drinking their fill, they all lay down on the grass, clutching their stomachs, feeling extremely full.

However, all of them could clearly sense the slowly strengthening power within their bodies.

"Alright, time for the second phase. I've found quite a few treasures this time."

Xu Mu took out three golden pills from his pocket and handed them to Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Jiang Huihui.

"Xu Mu, what kind of pill is this?"

Jiang Huihui asked curiously.

"All three of you are at the late Divine Ability stage. This pill contains a large amount of eighth- and ninth-grade celestial treasures. Eat up—it'll pack quite a punch."

Xu Mu said to Jiang Huihui and the others.

"What? A large amount of eighth- and ninth-grade?"

Jiang Huihui was stunned. "Xu Mu, I can't accept this. It's too precious."

[Affection Points +30]

She couldn't believe it. Eighth- and ninth-grade celestial treasures—these were enough to stir up storms of blood and upheaval in the ancient martial world.

Things that countless sects would go to war for—and Xu Mu was just giving them to her?

[Affection Points +20]

Dai Xingluo was also deeply shaken when she heard this.

But she didn't have Jiang Huihui's hesitation. Since Xu Mu was giving her such a valuable pill, she would repay him with her life if necessary.

In the past, Meng Wanyue would have reacted like Jiang Huihui, but not anymore. She no longer thought that way.

She also wanted to improve herself as quickly as possible, so she could fight alongside Xu Mu.

With that in mind, Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo both popped the pills into their mouths.

Whoosh!

The moment they swallowed, a terrifying medicinal effect instantly surged through their bodies.

Endless amounts of Qi appeared out of nowhere, flowing through their bodies, causing their faces to flush and their hair to be blown back by the explosive power within.

Jiang Huihui looked at the two beside her. Both were originally weaker than her.

But after taking the pills, their cultivation levels rose at a visible rate.

In just a short time, they had already surpassed her completely.

"Huihui, think it over. Opportunity knocks but once."

Xu Mu smiled at Jiang Huihui.

"Huihui, you're the husband's fiancée. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Ye Tong called out from a distance.

Hearing this, Jiang Huihui swallowed the pill in one gulp. "Xu Mu, from now on, just tell me what to do. I won't hesitate!"

Whoosh!

Jiang Huihui's power also began to explode.

As the medicinal effects in their bodies were slowly absorbed, Meng Wanyue's strength settled at the peak of the late Divine Ability stage.

Dai Xingluo was just slightly weaker than Meng Wanyue.

As for Jiang Huihui, she skyrocketed all the way, breaking through the late Divine Ability stage and entering the Grandmaster realm.

Jiang Huihui felt like she was dreaming. She looked at Xu Mu, her pupils flickering wildly. "Xu Mu! I've become a Grandmaster!"

[Affection Points +40]

She had originally thought that even with great talent, entering the Grandmaster realm would take a few years. She never expected that with Xu Mu's help, she had reached this level directly.

"After the Grandmaster stage comes the Four Symbols phase, with an added Perfection realm. Entering the Transcendence stage won't be so simple."

Xu Mu watched Jiang Huihui's affection points, then glanced at Ye Tong's doubled output in the distance, nodding with satisfaction.

"Brother Mu, I'm sorry. I didn't make it to Grandmaster."

Meng Wanyue lowered her head and said.

"All of you have already exceeded my expectations."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

He had originally refined six of these pills, planning to give three to each person.

Now it seemed that two pills were enough for them to enter the Grandmaster realm.

However, he couldn't give them the remaining ones now. These two had just stepped into the late Divine Ability stage and needed to stabilize their foundations first.

Next, Xu Mu went to Xu Ningbing, Feng Yue, and Ye Tong.

"Come on, two pills each."

Xu Mu distributed the pills to them.

Xu Ningbing and the others didn't stand on ceremony; they all swallowed the pills immediately.

Whoosh!

Once again, terrifying power spread through their bodies.

Xu Ningbing stepped directly into the early Divine Ability stage, with residual effects still lingering in her system.

As for Ye Tong and Feng Yue, they both advanced from the mid Gang Qi stage to the late Gang Qi stage.

"The Divine Ability stage! I can finally make my Qi visible!"

Xu Ningbing raised her hand, and a deep blue glow emerged from her pores. "So I have a water elemental attribute."

[Affection Points +30]

Xu Mu smiled from the side. He had known this from the very beginning.

Feng Yue also felt the power within her body, having finally taken another step forward.

She had heard before that the lowest cultivation level among the heads of the hidden families was the late Gang Qi stage.

Feng Yue could hardly believe it—she, once an illegitimate daughter who couldn't even enter her family's gate, had, with Xu Mu's help, reached the level of a hidden family head.

This leap felt like a dream to her.

[Affection Points +30]

Ye Tong didn't have many thoughts. She simply felt that with her increased strength, she would be able to withstand Xu Mu's attacks better than before.

Xu Mu looked at the affection points they were generating, along with Ye Tong's total from above her head, and was extremely satisfied.

Finally, he came to Tong Guoguo and handed her a dark yellow pill, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

"Guoguo, eat this. This is my masterpiece. I've added the ninth-grade celestial treasures you need most."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Tong Guoguo looked at the oversized pill. She originally intended to break it in half, but Xu Mu stopped her and told her to swallow it whole.

Staring at the large pill, she eventually opened her mouth wide and stuffed it in.

Before she could even chew, the pill dissolved into a surge of power, merging into her body.

Boom!

Tong Guoguo's power erupted uncontrollably.

Her red hair flew wildly, and the terrifying energy within her began to escalate.

Everyone around her turned to watch Tong Guoguo, amazed at how powerful this woman was.

"Xu Mu, who is she? She's so young, but already at the Transcendence level or higher."

Jiang Huihui walked over and asked.

"Don't compare yourself to her. She carries the blood of a foreign race, and she's much older than you all."

Xu Mu explained to Jiang Huihui.

After all, Tong Guoguo was a product of the Eternal Life Research Institute. Her red hair and red eyes marked her as a foreign race.

Still, she probably wasn't that old—at most, around thirty.

Boom!

The scattered forces suddenly converged, and Tong Guoguo’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Xu Mu, I’ve reached the late Deity Transformation stage!”

[Affection +30]

She hadn’t expected Xu Mu’s pills to be so effective.

Xu Mu smiled. This was indeed a tremendous improvement—everyone around him had risen by a whole level.

Facing those enemies from now on, he would be able to handle things more calmly.

Just then, Xu Mu’s phone vibrated. He glanced at it and saw it was a call from Fu Jinyu.

That old woman had finally called him back.

“Sister Empress...”

“It’s me, Nalan Shisan.”
