Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

The elder stood up, smiling and clasping his hands towards Xu Mu.

The girl in the white beast skin coat, seeing this scene, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Friend Zhou!”

Xu Mu responded with a smile, turned his head to look at the girl in the beast skin coat.

“Is she the one you were referring to?”

Sensing that the girl was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, Xu Mu frowned.

In his eyes, the Thousand-year Snow Lotus was not extremely precious, but by no means easily attainable for a Qi Cultivation stage practitioner.

“She is the descendant of an old friend of mine. Her family just happens to have a Thousand-year Snow Lotus.” the elder laughed.

These words made it clear that it was not the girl who found it, but a treasure her family had been saving.

Xu Mu wasn’t sure whether the elder was telling the truth, but for him, as long as he could get the Thousand-year Snow Lotus, he wouldn’t care if it was true or not.

“So, that’s how it is!”

Xu Mu nodded his head in understanding.

“Greetings to the senior!”

Only at this point did the girl in the beast skin coat react, she held her storage bag and stood to pay respect to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu ignored her, instead he continued to speak to the elder, “Friend Zhou, since you’ve brought her here, it doesn’t seem like you think I have insufficient Spirit Stones. I wonder what else you want in exchange!”

“Indeed, friend Xu, you are a wise man, you guessed it right away.” The elder chuckled while stroking his beard.

“Please sit down.”

“Thank you!”

Xu Mu clasped his hands and sat down to the side.

“Niece Fang, you can tell him yourself!” the elder directed towards the girl.

The girl eagerly announced: “I…I want two High-Quality Foundation Building Pills!”

Xu Mu’s gaze flickered, but his expression didn’t change. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, “Sure!”

The news that he possessed Foundation Establishment Pills was something he had deliberately let out so as to purchase the Thousand-year Snow Lotus. So, it wasn’t strange that others knew about it.

Two High-Quality Foundation Establishment Pills were a bit pricey, honestly speaking, but Xu Mu didn’t want to waste time haggling over this.

As for why he wanted to purchase the Thousand-year Snow Lotus, naturally, it was because the Thousand-year Snow Lotus was mentioned as an item required for Beihan Immortal Palace’s task.

Seeing Xu Mu agree, the girl was so excited that she almost jumped for joy, repeatedly thanking him.

Shortly after, the girl took out an icy box, placing it on the table, then she looked at Xu Mu.

“…”

Xu Mu was taken aback for a second, but once he understood, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

This woman was indeed cautious!

He took out two Foundation Establishment Pills, directly handing them to her.

The moment the pills were seen, a hint of greed flashed across the elder’s eyes.

With trembling hands, the girl received the Foundation Establishment Pills. Only after checking the pills several times in various ways, she took them cautiously, to the point where even the elder on the side felt somewhat embarrassed.

For Xu Mu, the Foundation Establishment Pills were produced effortlessly. However, for an ordinary Qi Cultivation practitioner, they were priceless treasures.

The girl used a spell, slowly opening the icy box, revealing a palm-sized, immaculate, white lotus.

“Friend Xu, this lotus has reached twelve hundred years, it definitely fulfills your requirement.” The elder laughed.

“Thank you for your help, friend.”

After checking the lotus with his Divine Intent, Xu Mu transferred the Snow Lotus to his own prepared box. The girl carefully took back the icy box, hastily excused herself and left. Xu Mu couldn’t help but find her actions amusing.

This girl was overly cautious.

Waving his hand, Xu Mu let her leave without turning her back.

“We have given you a laugh.”

Looking at the girl going farther away, the elder couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

“Not at all! It’s good to be a little cautious!” Xu Mu waved his hand, looking indifferent. He took out a premium Spirit Stone and handed it to the Elder, “This is your reward, friend.”

The elder pushed the Spirit Stone back, saying, “I’m not sure if you have any more Foundation Building Pills that I could buy from you?”

“I only have a few middle-grade and lower-grade ones left, do you want them?” Xu Mu said.

“I do!”

Disappointment flashed in his eyes, but the elder nodded his head, purchasing two middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

He was already in the middle Foundation Establishment stage and didn’t need the Foundation Establishment Pills, those were for his junior.

Wherever you go, Foundation Building Pills are a rare item. Since Xu Mu had them, the elder naturally didn’t want to let this opportunity pass, which was why he was willing to help.

Considering he helped, Xu Mu only asked for eighty percent of the usual price in Spirit Stones.

Although he didn’t care about this bit of Spirit Stone, there was no need to act like he was made of money, that would only invite trouble.

“I don’t know when friend is next going to refine pills, I can help…” the elder said, somewhat unwilling to give up.

If possible, he naturally wished to purchase higher quality pills.

“Friend, don’t joke around, my life’s end is near, I wouldn’t have the ability to refine pills!” Xu Mu laughed and denied.

After the transaction was completed, the two of them chatted a bit and the elder hurriedly left.

“That woman has a tracking mark on her, aren’t you going to help?” the Black YuanYing asked.

“We are just trading partners!” Xu Mu replied indifferently.

He stood up and left the Snow Plum Tower, steering his flying sword towards the Beihan Immortal Palace.

In no time at all, he reached Beihan Immortal Palace. After explaining his purpose, he was led in by a disciple guarding the mountain, meeting the Outer Sect Elder in charge of task handling at the Beihan Immortal Palace.

“The Thousand-year Snow Lotus can be exchanged for ten thousand Contribution points. Here is the list of items, with their values marked on the back. You can choose accordingly!”

The elder of the Beihan Immortal Palace, after taking the Thousand-year Snow Lotus, handed Xu Mu a jade script filled with information about various treasures for him to view on his own.

Xu Mu took the jade script, pretending to study it for a while, and then put down the jade script and said, “I have heard that your noble sect has a treasure house containing various items of indeterminate usage. As long as one submits a Thousand-year Snow Lotus, they can enter and select an item, is that true?”

“Of course it’s true! Could it be that you also want to try your luck?”

The Elder of the Beihan Immortal Palace narrowed his eyes, smilingly responding.

“Indeed.”

Xu Mu nodded.

“In that case, follow me!”

With that, the Beihan Immortal Palace elder stood up with a few disciples and headed deep into the Immortal Palace, with Xu Mu follow behind.

The group wound through layers of formations, finally stopping before a secret chamber built inside an iceberg.

After the elder used a spell to open the door, he instructed the disciples to stand guard at the entrance, and then took Xu Mu inside with him.

Inside the secret chamber, a variety of rare and strange items were arranged haphazardly, some protected by formations and others not.

As the elder walked further in, he explained, “All these items were gathered by our sect’s disciples during their travels. They all have strange characteristics, but we don’t know their use. To avoid waste, they are all piled here, waiting for someone with destiny. At one point, a cultivator found a rare treasure here, and made several times profit by selling it. That’s why over the years, people would come in from time to time, trying their luck!”

“What if I find a treasure worth an enormous amount, won’t your sect be at a massive loss?” Xu Mu inquired.

“Haha!”

The Elder laughed.

“If you find it and utilize it, you’re the chosen one. It’s better than letting the treasure be covered in dust!”

“The Beihan Immortal Palace truly is the number one sect in the Northern Domain, so magnanimous!” Xu Mu flattered.

The elder laughed but didn’t say anything.

Xu Mu, pretending to check the items with his divine intent, in reality unsealed the God Refining Tripod, and allowed the Black YuanYing inside him to sense the surroundings.

Just as they were about to reach the end, the Black YuanYing suddenly yelled excitedly.

“It’s there! It’s there!”
