At this mont.
Xu Wendong felt an invisible killing intent emanate from Mu Wanqiu.
Although the killing intent was very faint.
It still gave him a suffocating illusion.
After all.
No matter how stunning the woman before him was, she was ultimately a super powerhouse at the Fifth Level Loose Immortal realm.
With such cultivation, she could be considered a pillar in the entire Chaotic Star Sea.
Without overthinking, Xu Wendong raised his right hand, and currents of electricity flickered across his palm, producing crackling sounds.
"Senior, I am not lying. I indeed have mastered the Thunder Law," Xu Wendong explained, suppressing his inner panic.
Mu Yu coldly remarked from the side, "Even if you have mastered the Thunder Law, you can by no ans withstand the attack of a Third-Level Hermit Immortal."
Clearly.
They did not believe Xu Wendong’s words.
They thought he was lying.
"What if I have an Ancient Sacred Body?" Xu Wendong said.
Upon hearing the words "Ancient Sacred Body," both Mu Wanqiu and Mu Yu showed a hint of astonishnt in their eyes.
It’s a physique that is both unfamiliar and familiar, only existing in legends.
It is said that the Ancient Sacred Body could dominate an era.
Seeing that they still didn’t believe him, Xu Wendong’s body shook, and in an instant, a terrifying vital energy surged into a vast ocean behind him.
Amidst the vital energy, one could vaguely see giant demon beasts as large as mountains.
Although Mu Wanqiu and Mu Yu both had the cultivation of a Scattered Immortal level, in the face of this profound vital energy, they felt a sense of unease.
Until this mont.
They finally believed Xu Wendong’s words.
Because the Ancient Sacred Body has a special physique with amazing healing abilities.
Even though Xu Wendong only had Great Ascension Phase Cultivation Level, he had also mastered the Thunder Law. It was reasonable for him to withstand the furious strike of a Third-Level Hermit Immortal.
anwhile.
Mu Yu’s gaze towards Xu Wendong also bore a hint of admiration.
Because initially, she did not believe in the so-called dignity.
After all, the word ’dignity’ is particularly cheap in the Chaotic Star Sea.
But.
When spoken by soone with an Ancient Sacred Body, it carried weight.
Poof!
Without warning.
Xu Wendong opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. He staggered backward until he leaned against the chair, avoiding falling to the ground.
However.
At this mont, his face appeared haggard, and his breath was very weak, as if a gust of wind could topple him.
He weakly said, "Sorry, senior, I dirtied the Mu Mansion’s carpet. If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave now!"
This reaction of him spitting blood seed normal to Mu Wanqiu, considering he was severely injured, constantly suppressing the Power of Thunder within him.
And just as he released his vital energy, the Power of Thunder within him exploded, causing him harm.
Mu Wanqiu pointed from a distance, and a green glow flew from her fingertip into Xu Wendong’s body.
In an instant.
The Power of Thunder within Xu Wendong disappeared, and even his injured internal organs healed instantly with the help of this glow.
This made him marvel at the healing abilities of the Wood Elent Path, knowing how miraculous it was only through personal experience.
"So, the Mu of the Mu Family really is because of the Wood Law!" Xu Wendong exclaid, then bowed to Mu Wanqiu, "Thank you, senior, for your kindness!"
Mu Wanqiu said indifferently, "My Mu Family happens to lack an alchemist. If Young Master Xu doesn’t mind, you can stay and beco the alchemist of the Mu Family."
"This way, even if Lei Nanxiang finds you, she wouldn’t dare harm you even a bit."
Xu Wendong, restraining his excitent, asked, "Do I need to do anything for the Mu Family?"
Mu Wanqiu softly replied, "You only need to refine elixirs! If you wish to leave, my Mu Family will also respect your decision."
Xu Wendong said, "Thank you, senior, for your protection. If the Mu Family needs any elixirs, I will do my utmost!"
Mu Wanqiu smiled slightly, then looked at Mu Yu, "Arrange a separate residence for Young Master Xu and accord him the treatnt of an Honored Contributor."
"Yes!" Mu Yu respectfully responded, then summoned a maid to lead Xu Wendong to the other courtyard.
Once Xu Wendong had left, Mu Yu couldn’t help but look at Mu Wanqiu, "Clan Leader, we have alchemists. Why did you accept Xu Wendong?"
Mu Wanqiu elegantly sat on a bench, casually saying, "Although I don’t like Lei Nanxiang, I can’t deny her keen eyes."
"The fact that Young Master Xu caught her attention in alchemy shows his exceptional skills."
"Besides, don’t you think investing in an Ancient Sacred Body is an intriguing endeavor?"
Mu Yu dismissed, "The potential of an Ancient Sacred Body is indeed extraordinary, but not every Ancient Sacred Body can realize its potential."
Mu Wanqiu murmured, "Actually, that’s not what’s important."
"What’s important is that Xu Wendong is the man Lei Nanxiang desires but cannot have!" With those words, a aningful curve appeared on her lips.
Mu Yu shuddered slightly and quickly said, "Clan Leader, you’re not thinking of... claiming Young Master Xu, are you?"
Knowing the love-hate relationship between the clan leader and Lei Nanxiang, she found the idea astounding.
Mu Wanqiu calmly asked, "Can’t I pursue my own happiness?"
Mu Yu was left speechless.
Naturally, she wished the clan leader would find new happiness.
However.
She felt Xu Wendong was not a match for the clan leader.
In terms of status or cultivation level, there was a vast gap.
Mu Wanqiu seed to guess Mu Yu’s thoughts, smiling as she said, "Don’t worry, although Xu Wendong is a man Lei Nanxiang likes, he still needs to prove himself to earn my acknowledgnt."
------
Xu Wendong didn’t know Mu Wanqiu’s intentions towards him, but successfully infiltrating the Mu Family ant his plan was half fulfilled.
He believed in his charm and was confident he could win over Mu Wanqiu.
"Young Master Xu, from now on you’ll reside in Jade Garden. If you need anything, you can send word to the maid!" The maid brought Xu Wendong to a separate courtyard with rock gardens and flowing water, elegant and beautiful.
Xu Wendong politely said, "Thank you, young lady!"
Pausing briefly, he continued, "Please find the estate’s butler and ask what kind of elixirs the Mu Family needs. It would be best to send the pill prescription and ingredients, as Mr. Xu doesn’t wish to be a freeloader in the Mu Family!"
The maid respectfully agreed, then left the Jade Garden.
Xu Wendong also began inspecting the courtyard before him. Although not very large, it featured rock gardens, flowing water, and a pavilion.
An ornantal lake housed vibrant koi fish.
As night fell, Xu Wendong discarded his robe and entered the lake bare-bodied.
Unbeknownst to him.
There were eyes secretly watching him...
