Offering You Another Heaven-Grade Technique

Xu Mu quickly walked to the courtyard and opened the main gate.

Chen Xuan forced a smile at Xu Mu. "Mu Ge, I'm back."

"Not bad, your strength has improved this much?"

Xu Mu looked at Chen Xuan as he spoke.

"Pure dumb luck. When I went looking for my senior sister, I happened to find a relic. I thought I'd go in for a look, almost died inside, but then stumbled upon a divine herb."

Chen Xuan pushed his bicycle into the yard. "I was going to bring it to you, but the situation was too urgent, so I ate it."

Xu Mu smiled and nodded. "You definitely need to keep yourself alive first."

He was very calm about such opportunities—after all, he was the protagonist.

He figured Ye Chen and Wu Tian must have had similar experiences.

Every time he thought about it, Xu Mu felt he was still too weak.

"By the way, I'm planning to head to the Inner Realm for a fight in a few days. You coming?"

Xu Mu suddenly recalled the place mentioned in the group chat earlier. If he went with Chen Xuan, the danger level would drop, and the chances of finding treasure would increase.

"The Inner Realm? Count me in!"

When Chen Xuan heard this, his eyes, which had been somewhat weary, lit up again. "Mu Ge! My senior sister wrote saying she's in the Inner Realm."

"What? She's an otherworldly being?"

Xu Mu asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure, but she looks just like us. She said she still has very important things to do and can't meet me. She'll come find me once the crisis is resolved."

Chen Xuan clenched his fists. "She's always treated me like a child. I need to fight in the Inner Realm too, raise my cultivation, and help my senior sister as much as I can."

"Alright, I'll head out in a day or two. I'll let you know when."

Xu Mu patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder.

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement. Before he left, he took several jars of liquor from his space ring.

This was from his family's cellar. Now that his master was gone, no one was drinking it, so he brought some over.

Xu Mu didn't refuse. He remembered that Hao Yang really liked this liquor, so he could give him some when they met again.

Chen Xuan got back on his electric bike and left, planning to go home and pack up first.

He had brought quite a lot from his hometown this time, since he only had one space ring and it was completely full.

So his urea fertilizer woven bag came in handy again.

Before he left, Xu Mu gave Chen Xuan another space ring—he had plenty himself.

With his own storage space increasing recently, he rarely used space rings anyway.

After Chen Xuan left, Xu Mu returned to the underground illusion array and saw Fu Jinyu and Jiang Huihui about to leave.

"Xu Mu, I was just looking for you. I've fully memorized the technique; now it's just a matter of mastering it."

Fu Jinyu walked over and said.

Xu Mu smiled and nodded. Learning a technique was a lot like playing a game.

Memorizing the technique and being able to use it meant knowing a character's basic moves—that was just the start.

Some people played the same character for years and only got slightly proficient.

Others could pull off stunning feats.

What was missing wasn't just practice, but more importantly, talent.

It all came down to how well Fu Jinyu could adapt to this technique.

"Xu Mu, I need to get going too. I haven't reported to the sanitation department in two or three days."

Jiang Huihui added.

"Alright, go ahead. Keep practicing the technique."

Xu Mu waved them off.

After Fu Jinyu and Jiang Huihui left together, only Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Tong Guoguo remained.

These three were the absolute core members around Xu Mu, and he planned to take them along on this trip to the Hanxian Sect.

He walked to a distant patch of grass and took out the Qianshui Abyss technique.

Xu Mu looked at the water-drop-shaped technique and then at the three in front of him. "A little upset, are we?"

"Why would we be upset?"

Tong Guoguo frowned.

"Come on, stop pretending. This is such an advanced technique. It was clearly for you three to learn first, but in the end, Fu Jinyu mastered it, and all you got were the basics."

Xu Mu smiled as he looked at them. "Am I right?"

"Brother, you really understand me. You're right, I am a bit upset."

Dai Xingluo was straightforward. "I mean, I'm closest to you, Brother, yet a celestial-grade technique ended up being learned by an otherworldly being."

Dai Xingluo's words stirred even Meng Wanyue's heart slightly.

Tong Guoguo, more laid-back, took an apple from her space ring and bit into it. "This can't be helped. High-level techniques have a lot of restrictions. For example, my celestial-grade technique is very suited to a body with the Earth element."

"Then I'll give you another chance. Tomorrow we'll head to the Hanxian Sect together. They have another celestial-grade technique that I'm going to let you learn."

Xu Mu laughed and said to them. "I'm not bringing Fu Jinyu this time."

"What? Another celestial-grade technique?"

Dai Xingluo's eyes sparkled, and she immediately went over to hug Xu Mu's arm. "Brother, you're the best!"

[Affection +20]

Meng Wanyue asked curiously, "Mu Ge, how did you get a technique from the Hanxian Sect?"

Tong Guoguo also looked at him with interest. Her heart was racing with excitement—who wouldn't want more and stronger techniques?

[Affection +20]

Xu Mu didn't hide anything from them. He roughly explained the situation: in short, he was exchanging that celestial-grade technique with the Hanxian Sect for another celestial-grade technique from their sect.

However, Xu Mu had secured twenty spots.

Upon hearing this, the three of them finally understood.

"Take it easy today, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

Xu Mu said to them.

The three nodded and began training in the illusion array again.

As for Xu Mu, he took the technique and went deeper. His earlier Fire-element constitution wasn't really suited for practicing this kind of technique.

But now things were different. He also had a Water element hidden within him.

He wasn't sure why. It could be that his previous Fire element belonged to the original Xu Mu, and this Water element was his own power.

Of course, it might also be genetic.

The story had mentioned this before, like with Ye Chen, who was nominally an adopted son of the Ye family but had an incredible origin.

He had mastered both elements of Qi, but his cultivation level wasn't high enough yet for the other power to awaken.

Xu Mu entered a focused state and began studying the technique.

This technique was quite powerful. He decided to rely on his focus to first grasp the basics.

After that, proficiency would depend on his own fate.

...

Xu Mu trained with full focus until eight in the evening, finally mastering the basics of the technique.

Sure enough, using Water-element Qi to run it was twice as efficient. The rest would depend on his fate.

The next morning.

Xu Mu woke up early and prepared breakfast for several people.

After everyone ate, Xu Mu led Meng Wanyue, Dai Xingluo, and Tong Guoguo to the Xu Family Manor.

During the drive, he called Chen Xuan and told him to wait outside his house.

Upon arriving at the Xu Family Estate, the group boarded a helicopter and first headed to the outskirts where Chen Xuan was located. After picking up Chen Xuan, they proceeded together to the domain of the Cold Immortal Sect. ...
