No hope for eternal life

However, even though it was the first time he saw so many spirit stones, Mu Changsheng quickly stopped his greed and declined, saying, "Sir, you have already given me two precious talismans. I really don't have the face to accept these spirit stones anymore."

"It's okay. You can count these spirit stones as borrowed. It won't be too late to return them after you make a profit from the spirit mine. If you really feel bad, you can return me a few more spirit stones later." Yang Wuque waved his hand and said, "And I have some extra tasks for you. There are no special foundation-building pills sold in the town. You can go to Nansha City to buy them. The special foundation-building pills there are better than those in the county. In addition, you must remember to buy another book, the title of which is Cultivation Essays, and the author is Yu Daoling. That book will be helpful to your cultivation."

"Student obeys your command." Mu Changsheng said with deep emotion, admiring Yang Wuque's comprehensive thoughts, even thinking of his foundation-building pill.

"Go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll come back." Yang Wuque waved his hand.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng did not dare to disturb Yang Wuque too much, and immediately bowed respectfully and said goodbye: "Student, take your leave."

After a cup of tea, Mu Changsheng returned home and found his father Mu Yanggu lying on a recliner in the courtyard, holding a wine glass in his hand and drinking wine slowly, looking very comfortable.

When Mu Yanggu saw Mu Changsheng coming back, he quickly waved and said, "Come, come, come."

Mu Yanggu fished out another wine glass from the side, filled it with wine, and handed it to Mu Changsheng. He was obviously prepared: "Come, have a drink with me."

Mu Changsheng raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, feeling infinite pride in his heart. He could feel that from today on, his destiny would begin to change.

"What self-defense method did Mr. Yang give you?" Mu Yanggu then asked about the business. Although he had no doubts about Yang Wuque, as a father, he still wanted to know more about it.

"The master gave me two talismans, one for protection named Qingshen Talisman, and one for attack named Shenxiao Talisman." Mu Changsheng replied. He did not tell Mu Yanggu about the spirit stone, as he planned to give his parents a surprise when he returned.

"It's a talisman. Talismans are good. You can use them by activating spiritual power." Mu Yanggu nodded. Although he had never heard of the names of the Qingshen Talisman and the Shenxiao Talisman, the fact that he had never heard of them actually proved how advanced and precious the two talismans were.

"There's no need to activate the Green God Talisman. If someone attacks me, it will automatically protect me." Mu Changsheng said with a smile, "So don't worry, Dad. Unless a meteorite falls from the sky and hits me, it means God wants to take me away, and no one can stop me."

"Little brat, children should not be afraid of what they say." Mu Yanggu smiled and shook his head, then said seriously: "I know you have wanted to go out for a walk for a long time, but the outside world is not as beautiful as you think."

Mu Yanggu drank another glass of wine and said slowly: "Your grandfather was a Jindan realm cultivator. He left home thirty years ago, saying that he wanted to venture out into the world, but there has been no news of him in the past thirty years. The result is probably self-evident. Your mother's family was even more tragic. The whole family was slaughtered. Only your mother escaped to us and saved her life."

Mu Changsheng's face was heavy, it was the first time he heard his father talk about these past events. Being sensible since childhood, he had known for a long time that all the elderly people in his family were gone, but he didn't expect that there was such a person missing.

"Dad, don't worry. I will be extra careful when I go out." Mu Changsheng assured.

"Well, it's good that you know it. I know that you have been sensible since childhood." Mu Yanggu said with a smile and drank another glass of wine.

"Okay, drink less." Chen Wanru came out of the house and stuffed a pre-prepared package into Mu Changsheng's arms: "These are all prepared for you."

Mu Changsheng opened the package and took a look. He found that in addition to some clothes, there were also quite a few bottles and jars filled with various pills.

"Mom, Mr. Yang has given me a life-saving talisman, why do I need these healing pills?" Mu Changsheng said with a helpless smile.

"If you get hurt and the talismans can't heal you, won't you need to rely on these healing pills?" Chen Wanru said with eyes wide open. In her opinion, Mu Changsheng, whose cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining Stage, is no different from a baby. If it wasn't for Yang Wuque's intention, she would not agree to let her precious son go out so far.

"Okay, okay." Mu Changsheng agreed reluctantly and put all the luggage into the storage bag given by Yang Wuque.

At dawn, Mu Changsheng formally bid farewell to his parents and set off with the last bit of night light.

However, when Mu Changsheng passed by the sword-making shop, he did not notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him closely, hiding behind the shop door that he could not see.

Not long after Mu Changsheng left, Mu Xun walked out of the sword-making shop and headed in another direction. No one knew where he was going.

In the sword-making shop, Mu Qunxian noticed that Mu Xun had left without saying goodbye, but he did not stop him. Instead, he opened the shop and started a new day of sword-making.

Not long after, Mu Yanggu from next door walked out of his house and came to the sword-making shop.

"Brother Mu, you went out so early, but the sound of my sword-forging disturbed you." Mu Qun took the initiative to speak.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me." Mu Yanggu said hurriedly. After his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, he didn't need to sleep or rest much.

"Hey, your son is really successful now. You will enjoy a good life in the future." Mu Qunxian turned around and said jokingly.

Mu Yanggu waved his hands and said: "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, my kid is still in the Qi Refining Stage, which is far inferior to my brother's Mu Xun."

Mu Qun first saw Mu Yanggu standing in front of the shop for a long time, so he guessed that he must have something to do, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother, are you here today to forge a sword for your son?"

"No, no." Mu Yanggu rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Isn't it time for Changsheng to build his foundation? I want to buy him a special foundation-building pill, but I don't have enough spirit stones, so I want to borrow some from my brother."

After saying this, Mu Yanggu felt relieved. He had always known that Mu Qunxian's family was well-off, but he had his own integrity and had never thought of relying on the other party's spirit stones to survive.

But now that his son is doing well in the family, he, as a father, cannot hold him back. He has to do everything he can to buy a special-grade foundation-building pill to lay a solid foundation for Mu Changsheng's cultivation.

"Hey, I thought it was something else. We have been neighbors for many years, and we are half the same family. How can I be stingy?" Mu Qunxian said with a smile: "Just tell me how much spiritual stones you need, brother."

"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones are enough." Mu Yanggu said gratefully. Although he had accumulated some spirit stones over the years, he was still short of five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

"Take it." Mu Qun first threw a storage bag directly to Mu Yanggu.
