Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Zheng Yunrui's eyes also brightened upon hearing this.

"That's right, Brother Mu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Normally, how could the Celestial Sect Saintess need anyone's help? If we could gain the favor and gratitude of the Celestial Sect Saintess, it would be like ascending to the heavens in one step!"

Lin Xuankong, however, frowned slightly. These few people before me all think I'm at Sixth-Layer Perfection or an Early Stage Seventh Layer. But I know my own strength too well. Currently, I'm only at an Early Stage Fifth Layer. Although I can confidently face and defeat a Fifth-Layer Perfection or Early Stage Sixth-Layer opponent, dealing with a mid-grade Sixth Layer is already troublesome. More powerful than a Late Stage Sixth Layer Celestial Sect Elder? Do they really think masters grow on trees? Can I fight across more than one and a half major Realms?

The Elders of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect are all Late Stage Sixth Layer. In addition, the Celestial Sect Saintess herself should possess many Treasures, plus some guards. If such a lineup can't handle it, going myself might just be sending myself to die! Moreover, fame breeds trouble. Currently, settling the various matters in the Great Marsh Prefecture and focusing on Cultivation is the right path. With my Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, do I need the help of any Saintess or Princess? This chance to curry favor with the Princess of Great Xia or the Celestial Sect Saintess should be left to other loyal and brave people. Accompanying my Young Lady and Yu Fei is better than anything else!

Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at Liy Ruoqing. "Stop wasting time. Continue explaining the method of refining the Celestial Demon Bone!"

Zheng Yunrui couldn't help but show a look of surprise. Brother Mu is so strong; if he went, he would certainly be able to shine. Why wouldn't he go? Does Brother Mu not care about gaining the favor and gratitude of the Princess of Great Xia? What kind of background must he have to give up the chance to connect with a Saintess? But with such a significant background and origin, how could he not know the secrets of the Celestial Demon Bone?

For a moment, she looked at Lin Xuankong, full of doubt, feeling increasingly unable to see through the mysterious Mu Shiba before her.

Liy Ruoqing was clearly a bit surprised as well, but seeing Lin Xuankong's cold expression, his heart suddenly tightened. Not daring to refute, he could only begin to explain.

「Over half an hour later,」

After listening to the entire refining method, Lin Xuankong said, "Refining the Celestial Demon Bone actually requires an Array, and it costs millions of Qi Blood? Are you kidding me?"

Liy Ruoqing's face was resolute. "I, Liy Ruoqing, swear that every word is the truth. If there is even half a lie, may heaven strike me with five thunders! The method to set up the Refining Array requires decades of study to master. If Senior wishes to refine it, I will definitely assist with all my power and personally perform the Array Formation!"

An oath? Lin Xuankong's eyes flickered, and he said, "Swear a different oath!"

Liy Ruoqing was a little puzzled. "What kind of oath?"

Moments later, after swearing the new oath, both Liy Ruoqing and Liy Ruo Ying looked bitter.

*By the Zhi God above Great Xia, I swear I will never betray Mu Shiba, never reveal anything about the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, and will wholeheartedly perform the Array Formation for Mu Shiba, or else my Divine Soul will be obliterated, and I will never be reborn...* This oath was simply too harsh, too vicious!

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes full of despair. From now on, the dignified Hall Masters of the Black Tiger Gang would actually become someone else's slaves!

Lin Xuankong then walked to the Profound Iron Cage imprisoning the Tier Five poisonous scorpion, contemplating. Although these unfortunate brothers from the Black Tiger Gang have already sworn a vicious oath, to fully control them, I still need to take comprehensive measures! After all, this concerns the refining of the Celestial Demon Bone and the journey to the Ba Mountain Secret Realm Center. If I cannot completely control these two, how can I feel at ease focusing on Cultivation and continuing to increase my strength on the way?

Thinking of this, he reached towards the small gate of the cage. Zheng Yunrui couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Mu, be careful! That's a Tier Five Corpse Scorpion. Even a Sixth Layer or Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator's Cultivation would greatly diminish if poisoned by it!"

Liy Ruoqing and Liy Ruo Ying's eyes lit up. This Mu Shiba dares to touch the terrifying Corpse Scorpion without even taking Zhengyuan Grass; he's courting death! Even though we've sworn a vicious oath and can't betray or attack him, him dying on his own wouldn't count as betrayal... Freedom is right in front of us!
