No hope for eternal life

Mu Changsheng and his family of three sent Yang Wuque to the door before reluctantly parting.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and the other two returned home, and Chen Wanru asked Mu Changsheng in a low voice: "Does Mr. Yang take a fancy to you and want to take you as his apprentice?"

Chen Wanru's voice contained a strong sense of joy. In her opinion, if it was a letter to be delivered, anyone could do it. Why did she choose her son? Isn't this special treatment?

"Mom, Mr. Yang never said that. Please don't talk nonsense outside." Mu Changsheng said hurriedly. He didn't want to see rumors flying around and arouse Yang Wuque's disgust.

"Changsheng is right, but it's still uncertain, so we can't talk nonsense." Mu Yanggu agreed.

Chen Wanru rolled her eyes at Mu Yanggu and his son, and said unhappily, "You all think I'm stupid, how could I possibly say such nonsense?"

It has always been said that one can make a fortune by keeping quiet, so how could Chen Wanru not understand that?

"No matter what, it's definitely right to follow Mr. Yang. Changsheng, you must deliver the letter for Mr. Yang seriously." Mu Yanggu solemnly instructed Mu Changsheng.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry." Mu Changsheng said with a smile.

On the other side, outside the Mu family’s door, Yang Wuque was about to leave when he heard a “hissing” sound in his ears.

Yang Wuque turned around and saw that it was Mu Qunxian's newly forged sword that had just been tempered in water, which also meant that the sword was successfully forged.

"Good sword." Yang Wuque couldn't help but praise it. He could tell at a glance that although the sword was only of the third grade, its appearance was the best among the third grade spiritual swords and was extremely rare.

Mu Qunxian shook his head and said, "It's not good enough."

After saying that, Mu Qun first threw the sword in his hand aside casually, then took out a sword blank from the sword furnace and started hammering it again.

Yang Wuque nodded gently, and he highly recognized Mu Qunxian's spirit of striving for perfection. Then he asked curiously, "Brother Mu, you have been in Qingliu Town for forty years. Don't you feel bored forging swords every day?"

"I forge swords and pursue better swords, so I naturally don't get bored." Mu Qunxian swung his hammer and replied: "Mr. Yang, you have been teaching for many years, but you haven't seen many people sincerely learn from you. Don't you get bored?"

Yang Wuque shook his head slowly and said, "I teach for my own peace of mind, it has nothing to do with others."

"Sir, you have devoted yourself to this small town, but there is no one to inherit your legacy. It's a pity. It's time for you to take in a disciple." Mu Qunxian made a casual suggestion while keeping his hands still.

Hearing this, Yang Wuque suddenly looked at Mu Qunxian with some caution, because he felt that Mu Qunxian's words seemed to have other implications. But when he saw the casual expression on Mu Qunxian's face, he felt that he was overthinking, so he answered casually: "Maybe."

Yang Wuque had this in mind when he arranged for Mu Changsheng to deliver the letter.

After Yang Wuque left, the neighbors all rushed out of their homes and talked about it.

"Mr. Yang personally came to visit the Mu family. Could it be that this Mu family kid has really made it..."

After all, Yang Wuque went in and out of the Mu family without any concealment, and everyone saw it, so it was hard for people not to make associations.

There were even some bold women who went directly to Mu Changsheng's house to inquire about the details. Mu Yanggu had no choice but to let Chen Wanru deal with these matters. Fortunately, Chen Wanru handled them appropriately and only said that Mu Changsheng was naughty and Yang Wuque came to criticize him.

That night, close to three o'clock in the morning, Mu Changsheng tiptoed to the school, fearing that he would make any noise and be discovered by others.

After arriving at the school, Mu Changsheng found that it was pitch black, so he knocked on the door twice gently.

As Mu Changsheng knocked on the door, a dim light came on in the school and the wooden door opened silently.

"Come in." Yang Wuque's gentle voice entered Mu Changsheng's ears.

Mu Changsheng walked into the school and saw Yang Wuque sitting on the podium. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Hello, sir."

Yang Wuque nodded gently, handed the letter to Mu Changsheng, and said: "When you arrive in Nansha City, you will give this letter to the Nansha County Magistrate. After he reads the letter, he will naturally understand everything."

"Student understands." Mu Changsheng said respectfully, and took a look at the envelope, which was written by Sha Tongmo himself.

"So the Nansha County Magistrate's name is Sha Tongmo." Mu Changsheng didn't even know the other party's name before.

Then, Yang Wuque handed Mu Changsheng a piece of green talisman paper with a very complicated pattern drawn on it. Yang Wuque introduced: "This is the life-saving item for you. This talisman is called Qingshen and is used for self-defense. You just need to keep this talisman close to your body. If someone attacks you, it will automatically protect you."

"Thank you, sir." Mu Changsheng took the Qingshen Talisman and bowed to express his gratitude. He had heard of this talisman a long time ago. It was a small piece of talisman paper, but once activated, it could burst out with terrible power. However, this Qingshen Talisman did not even need to be activated, as it could automatically protect its master. Just thinking about it, one could tell that it must be more advanced.

Yang Wuque then took out another silver talisman and explained again: "This talisman is called Shenxiao, and it is used for attacking. When using it, you only need to point the talisman in the direction of the enemy and inject a wisp of spiritual power to activate it and release the attack. In addition, you must remember that this talisman has a limit on the number of attacks, and can only be used nine times at most."

"I am only here to deliver a letter, not to fight with anyone, so I don't need this talisman." Mu Changsheng declined quickly. He felt that as long as he had a Qingshen Talisman, he would have no worries. Asking for other talismans would seem a bit greedy.

Yang Wuque shook his head and said, "People are evil. If you encounter a bad guy on the road, with only a defensive talisman, the enemy may still entangle you, but with an offensive talisman, they will retreat once they see it."

Although Yang Wuque had not been out for many years, he knew that some truths would never change.

"I am ashamed that I did not think of this." Mu Changsheng said with some shame after hearing this. He no longer hesitated and took the Shenxiao Talisman.

Seeing Mu Changsheng accept the talisman, Yang Wuque said earnestly: "The ancients once said: holding a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises. Although you now have the Shenxiao Talisman, I hope that when you come back, you have never used this talisman. You must know that what cultivators seek in cultivation is longevity and freedom, not fighting for power and brutality."

"The student will keep your teachings in mind." Mu Changsheng said respectfully, keeping every word Yang Wuque said in his heart.

"I have something else for you." Yang Wuque handed Mu Changsheng another storage bag.

Mu Changsheng took the storage bag, opened it and took a look, and found that there were hundreds of dark blue spirit stones neatly stacked inside.

Spirit stones are divided into four grades: low, medium, high and top grade, and their colors are light blue, dark blue, light purple and dark purple respectively. Therefore, the hundreds of spirit stones that Yang Wuque gave to Mu Changsheng are all medium grade spirit stones!

The value of low-grade spirit stones and medium-grade spirit stones differed greatly, and the exchange rate was more than one hundred to one. Therefore, these hundreds of medium-grade spirit stones were equivalent to tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. This was the first time that Mu Changsheng had seen so many spirit stones since he was a child.
