“So, that’s how exposed I was!”

Only now did Xu Mu realize.

No wonder the Luo family had his portrait when they were in White River City.

However, this ability to gain memory by devouring remnants of souls was not as powerful as he had imagined.

For someone with Luo Lie’s skills, he could only obtain broken fragments of scenes, unable to obtain complete memory fragments.

Moreover, he can only obtain scenes from the past few days, the more removed in time the more blurry it would become, unless he cultivated Lu Ling Jue to a higher level to obtain complete memory fragments or scenes from a more distant past.

“A mere Lu Ling Jue has such an ability, perhaps the Liyang Sect has some other inhuman methods!”

Xu Mu, who was previously full of confidence, suddenly felt a little uneasy at this moment.

“Could they really trace it back to me?”

Reflect carefully on his actions, Xu Mu was unable to find any flaws.

“Man proposes, God disposes! I have done my best!”

Xu Mu suppressed his anxious mood and began to study Lu Ling Jue.

Lu Ling Jue did not require any specific physical condition from the cultivator, anyone could cultivate it.

This was also the reason why Xu Mu was willing to adapt and learn it.

The only drawback was that the monster beast essence must be of the same attribute as the cultivator, it could not be chosen at will.

“It seems, I need to find an opportunity to buy a monster beast essence of the same attribute!”

Time flew by and more than ten days had passed. The transition in his early stage martial method was very smooth.

At this time, Xu Mu’s system panel was:

The corresponding cultivation levels for the realm of Lu Ling Jue are:

Beginner corresponds to Qi cultivation, Proficiency corresponds to the early Foundation Establishment stage, Mastery corresponds to the middle Foundation Establishment stage, Perfect corresponds to the latter stage of Foundation Establishment, Grandmaster corresponds to the early Golden Pill stage, and Transcendent corresponds to the latter Golden Pill stage.

Xu Mu temporarily didn’t have any monster beast essence of the same attribute, so he was not in a hurry to improve his martial method realm and decided to cultivate himself, saving a bit if he could.

“However, there should be some news by now!”

In a secluded small bar, old and heavily damaged tables and chairs pieced together the entire scenery of this place.

A woman, adorned with fine make-up and dressed up exquisitely, was lazily resting in an corner, drinking wine cup after cup.

Her lips a light touch, leaving a faint lipstick mark on the rim of the drink cup.

The tavern door creaked!

A tall figure in a deep grey robe came strolling in.

The man’s eyes were as deep as the galaxy, seemingly infinite.

However, his aura was extremely restrained, making him appear ordinary, almost as if blending with the crowd, easily lost sight of with a blink of an eye.

Seeing the woman’s looks, there was a flicker of surprise in the man’s eyes.

This was the first time he had seen her in this state.

“Friend Chi, why would you ask me to meet you here?”

Xu Mu sat in front of Chi Feiyan, curious as he looked around.

With the dilapidated conditions of this bar, he was unsure how she had managed to find it.

Besides, considering her status, to agree to meet him in such an almost slum-like area was somewhat odd.

“I like it! Is there a problem?”

Chi Feiyan gave him a lukewarm glance and put down her wine glass.

“Uh? Of course, there’s no problem!”

The Chi Feiyan in front of him was vastly different from usual, leaving him at a loss for words.

“This is what you wanted!”

Chi Feiyan paid no attention to Xu Mu’s astonishment, as she handed him a wooden token and several documents.

“Thank you!”

Xu Mu put away the items and handed over fifty medium-grade spirit stones in return.

“I really didn’t expect you to be so generous!”

Chi Feiyan picked up a spirit stone, sighing leisurely.

“Only those who are alive can use spirit stones, what use are they otherwise!” Xu Mu laughed.

“Is there a threat to your life in Liyang City? Why are you leaving?”

Chi Feiyan put away the spirit stone, her beautiful eyes fixed on him without blinking, like a tiny fish fleeting in the crystal-clear spring water.

“I simply don’t want to repeat the past! It was you who told me about the Soul Forging Sect attack on the Liyang Sect marketplace, right?” Xu Mu laughed.

“That was just a guess! Liyang Sect is still investigating the Luo family’s extermination and hasn’t drawn any final conclusions yet!”

Chi Feiyan gestured with a finger, rubbing her forehead, speaking helplessly.

He took her casual comment so seriously. Wasn’t this guy too timid?

Given the strength of the Liyang Sect, they couldn’t be so easily wiped out like the Clear River Sword Sect.

“I have a wife and child and can’t take risks, for me anywhere is just as good!”

Having said that, Xu Mu stood up, preparing to bid farewell and leave.

“Anywhere is just as good! Easy for you to say. There won’t be any old friends like me at the Tianhe Sect!”

Chi Feiyan looked at him with a trace of resentment in her eyes, like wisps of smoke clouds.

“There’s no place in the world where people do not meet, if it is meant to be, we will see each other again!” Xu Mu cupped his hands in a bow: “I won’t disturb Friend Chi’s drinking, farewell!”

Having said that, Xu Mu turned around without any hesitation and left.

“What a boring guy!”

Watching Xu Mu’s retreating figure, Chi Feiyan sighed.

Ever since she married into the Lv family, she had been alienated, without a single friend. The rare person she could have a conversation with was now leaving.

“No place in the world where people do not meet, no place in the world where people do not meet, if meetings were so easy, why do we speak of life and death as two boundless journeys!”

Chi Feiyan drank her last cup of wine, stood up, tidied her clothes, and boarded the beast cart waiting at the back door.

“Miss, who could it be that you treat so well? If the Lv family knew you were helping an outsider like this, I’m afraid there would be a lot of trouble!”

The maid driving the cart voiced her worry.

“Just a friend!

Chi Feiyan closed her eyes, not wanting to elaborate.

The reason she was helping Xu Mu was not only because she was familiar with him, but also because helping him earned her numerous benefits.

The Chi family had completely abandoned her, and the Lv family had taken away all of her cultivation resources, intending to keep her as a canary till death.

How could she be content with that!

If others won’t give it to her, then she has to strive for it herself.

She had high hopes for Xu Mu.

Being able to learn how to refine the Mysterious Yuan Pill in such a short time, if he wasn’t hiding his capabilities before, then he was an alchemy genius. As long as they kept cooperating, he could bring her endless profits.

In the future, there might even be the chance for him to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill for her.

Not to mention, compared to local alchemists, Xu Mu’s identity was more reliable.

It’s a pity now!

“I didn’t expect it, Liyang Sect actually pinning the Luo family’s extermination on the Soul Forging Sect! What a surprising delight!”

When he first heard the news, Xu Mu even considered giving up his plan to leave Liyang City.

But then he thought better of it, safety is paramount after all.

“But this second-hand ticket is really expensive!”

From what he had heard, a trip to the Tianhe Sect only cost two medium-grade spirit stones. Yet for him, it had more than doubled in price.

If he wasn’t in such a hurry to leave, he would have hated to buy it.

“There’s less than a month before the flying boat departs! I hope nothing unexpected happens in the meantime!”

“But before that, I must secure the martial method!”

Xu Mu took out the token tucked among the boat tickets.

This is the token to participate in the large-scale auction in Liyang City.

After applying the Invisibility Technique and finding a secluded place to change appearance and conceal his aura, Xu Mu made his way toward the auction.

“Just as expected from the most famous auction in Liyang City, it’s really full of experts!”

As Xu Mu walked towards the auction venue with the crowd, he felt more than a few Foundation Establishment Stage auras.

Before, he could spend all day out in the streets and not encounter a single one. Now, he met five or six in an instant.

Some hid their auras, their heads covered with hoods, while others swaggered around without any discretion.

To avoid attracting trouble, he didn’t observe too much and followed the crowd into the venue.

This was Xu Mu’s first time in such a place, and after observing, he discovered it’s not much different from the auction houses in his previous life.

The whole area was divided into two levels.

The lower level had individual seats, and the upper one consisted of private booths.

The only difference was, all seats were equipped with various formations that allowed cultivators to bid, and there was also a formation light screen. This could be used like a 3D projector, enabling you to view the items closely.

On top of the mystical aura that saturated the environment, there was also a touch of science-fiction feel.

Of course, Chi Feiyan did not have the ability to help him get a booth.

The token he held was only for a lower-tier seat near the end.

Not long after he took his seat, the auction began.

“Today is the third day of the auction, and also the penultimate day. Many treasured items may perhaps appear for the last time, so if any of the fellow cultivators require anything, it would be better to make a move as soon as possible.”

The auction host walked on stage, gave an opening speech, and immediately began introducing the first item for auction.

A sword that was emanating red light and a burning aura, with its blade appearing as if magma was constantly flowing over it..
