Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age-Chapter 257 - 226: Return to Golden Pill_i
Chapter 257: Chapter 226: Return to Golden Pill_i
Even though the Fairy Moon Palace had many who were at the Golden Core Stage, it doesn’t mean that the Golden Core Stage was not valuable. Regardless of the sect, the Golden Core Stage remains a crucial pillar.
More so, the commotion this time was not to be underestimated—it indicated that the person who was forming the core had a very profound foundation. There is a strong likelihood they could advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, which is even more extraordinary.
The commotion in the cultivation room quickly caught the attention of everyone in the sect. Even the Nascent Soul Elder who sat in the sect projected his Divine Intent over.
Streaks of escape lights flew over from various parts of the sect, questioning the person in charge of the cultivation room about who was making the breakthrough, creating such a significant disturbance.
“It’s Elder Xu from the Pill Hall!”
The person in charge of the cultivation room said so after checking the rental records.
“Elder Xu?”
The crowd looked at each other, having never heard of this person before.
They generally pay attention to those in the Foundation Establishment Stage who have a chance of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage. But, they had no recollection of this Elder Xu.
The crowd unconsciously turned their gaze towards the few elders of the Pill Hall.
One of them frowned, looking puzzled.
If Xu Mu were here, he would certainly recognize him as Elder Luo, who assessed him.
“Elder Luo, do you know him?”
The Hall Master of the Pill Hall asked.
To be honest, he was also completely baffled.
“If I remember correctly, he should be a Loose Cultivator who joined in recent years. But… how is that possible?” Elder Luo said incredulously.
“What do you mean?”
The crowd grew even more curious.
Elder Luo didn’t hide anything and explained Xu Mu’s situation.
“A nearly three hundred years old Foundation Establishment Stage Loose Cultivator?”
The crowd thought they had heard wrong.
It’s already a miracle for someone of such age to be alive, and now he’s courageously attempting to breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. Isn’t it like an old man trying to eat arsenic?
They looked at the spiritual vortex in the sky, which was still continuously condensing and compressing.
This was clearly the sign of an imminent successful breakthrough.
It made the fact even more incredible.
A loose cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage, whose life was nearing its end, not only dared to rush to break through to the Golden Core Stage, but also made it.
That seemed like a story straight out of a fantasy.
“I heard he once bought a dose of Fairy Moon Dew from Sir Beishuang. Could it be because of that?” A certain Pill Hall elder commented.
“After reaching a certain age, it’s not just physical decline, but also the spirit and vitality take a significant downturn. Even ten doses of Fairy Moon Dew would hardly be enough for a breakthrough!” The Pill Hall Master shook his head.
“Whether it’s him or not, we can wait a while to find out!”
A strong sense of curiosity arose in everyone’s hearts.
Inside the cultivation room, Xu Mu was fully engrossed in absorbing the spiritual energy, continuously refining it and infusing it into his Dantian.
The Spiritual Power vortex in the Dantian had long since formed. At the moment, it was continuously condensing and compressing until a round and rolling Golden Pill appeared.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly collapsed, and the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of feet was almost swallowed in an instant.
Xu Mu no longer needed to control it at this point. The Golden Pill began to automatically absorb spiritual energy for refinement.
Xu Mu heaved a sigh of relief, confirming that he had successfully advanced and returned to the Golden Core Stage.
After completely consolidating his cultivation, he pulled up the system interface for a look.
[Name: Xu Mu]
[Lifespan: 124/258]
[Realm: Level 1 Golden Core; 104/200,000]
[Family Talent: Perfect Aim] freeweɓnøvel.com
[Martial Method: 9th Rank Kun Peng Tun Tian Jue Proficiency; 5/200,000]
Upon seeing the lifespan column, Xu Mu really felt like vomiting blood.
He had broken through such a large level, but only increased his lifespan by more than eighty years, even with the help of Moonhua Fairy Dew.
You have to know that the first time he broke through the Golden Core Stage, he increased his lifespan by a full three hundred years, and the total lifespan reached more than eight hundred years.
The gap was just too big, annoying to say the least.
“By normal calculation, I can probably live for another hundred and thirty years. If I break through to the late Golden Core Stage, I should be able to add another few decades, at most I might have two hundred years left to live!”
Any regular cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, knowing they only have two hundred years of lifespan, would probably start thinking about enjoying their twilight years.
A two hundred year lifespan is too short for the Golden Core Stage, there is simply no hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Those more talented cultivators often break through to the Golden Core Stage when they are over a hundred years old, they have five or six hundred years to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, but only a very small number can actually advance.
Not only that, Xu Mu’s lifespan was short, and he was also of an old age.

Xu Mu condensed a water elemental mirror, clearly reflecting his current appearance, other than the greatly reduced decay aura, he was still white- haired and looked old.
Damn it!
Xu Mu was speechless.
He was probably the only one in the Cultivation World who barely changed after breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage.
Even his previous Body Refinement transformation didn’t have as significant a change.
Putting away the mirror, Xu Mu helplessly shook his head.
Originally, he wanted to practice in the cultivation room for a while, but the rental period seemed to be nearing an end. Considering the limited Spirit Stones he had on hand, Xu Mu decided to be more frugal.
Moreover, it was not convenient to practice here using Lu Jingkong’s corpse, it would be troublesome if someone discovered it.
Although there were many oddballs in the Cultivation World, there definitely weren’t many who’d take advantage of a corpse like him.
“Perhaps it’s time I considered leaving the mountain!”
Even in his own cave residence, Xu Mu still felt insecure.
While Xu Mu was contemplating his future, he walked out of the cultivation room.
Just as he stepped out, he was surrounded by a group of people.
“Elder Xu, was it really you who made a breakthrough just now? Have you advanced to the Golden Core Stage?”
Elder Luo was the first to speak, after all, he had a bit of a relationship with Xu Mu.
“It was merely a stroke of luck! My apologies for the concern!” Xu Mu responded modestly.
The group looked at each other again, even with Xu Mu’s confirmation, they still found it hard to believe.
Moreover, Xu Mu’s appearance was nothing like someone who had just broken through to the Golden Core Stage.
Who on earth has seen a Golden Core cultivator looking so old right after a breakthrough?
Everyone even suspected that Xu Mu had changed his appearance, so they inspected him carefully with their Divine Intent.
Of course, they found no discrepancies.
Because it was indeed true!
Xu Mu wasn’t stupid, joining a big sect like Fairy Moon Palace and daring to disguise himself, wouldn’t that be blatantly seeking death?!
Though it was incredible, those who couldn’t find any faults had to accept it.
They could only say that the world is so large, there is nothing that doesn’t exist!
Originally, everyone thought Xu Mu was a regular elder who advanced normally and planned to curry favor with him. The positions of the elders in each hall can be changed, but given Xu Mu’s situation, not many people were interested.
A Golden Core cultivator whose potential was exhausted and who barely managed to advance really didn’t need much wooing.
After greeting Xu Mu and recognizing his face, everyone dispersed. Only a few Golden Core elders invited him to visit their place when he had time, which Xu Mu gladly accepted.
He might have to live in Fairy Moon Palace for many years, so having more friends naturally wouldn’t hurt.
After Xu Mu finished his check-out procedures, he returned to the Pill Hall with everyone.
Upon returning, the head of the Pill Hall, Du Yu, immediately convened all the Golden Core Stage elders of the Pill Hall to discuss Xu Mu’s arrangements.
“Elder Xu’s advancement to the Golden Core Stage is a great joy for our Pill Hall. I’ve gathered everyone here not only to congratulate Elder Xu, but also to hear everyone’s opinions on what position should be arranged for Elder Xu!”
