The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 63 Sword Control (Continued)
Can illusions kill people?

This depends on two aspects: one is the strength of the person receiving the treatment; the other is the subjective will of the person performing the treatment.

When Ye Muxue returned to No. 24 Tongluo Lane early in the morning, she saw a scene of chaos. The men of those tenants were all injured to varying degrees...What she didn't expect was that the two policemen who came to investigate the situation yesterday were also there, but they didn't look as majestic as yesterday and looked a little embarrassed.

Old Xu's forehead was bruised and purple, and he sat there with his head slumped, looking as if he had a concussion; the younger one sat on the ground with his legs stretched out straight, his ankle swollen like a steamed bun.

"Yo, what's going on?"

Ye Muxue looked at what looked like a large truck and cargo scene, a look of surprise on her face.

"Where did you go last night?" The young policeman was furious when he saw her, and his tone was full of hostility.

"Do I have to tell you?"

Ye Muxue saw Lao Xu and the people around staring at her, "If I don't tell you, it will be another trouble... After I returned to the city, I had no place to live, so I rented a house at first, and I haven't moved out yet. Wasn't this place...unclean yesterday? I was a little scared, so I went back to my rental house to sleep."

"Is there any witness? Who can prove that you were sleeping in the room?" The young policeman spoke without thinking.

"Damn it!"

Ye Muxue was immediately furious, her eyes were like sharp swords staring at the policeman, a chill enveloped Lao Xu and him... Ye Muxue wanted to hide, who knows what kind of changes would happen because of the transformation of her butterfly. And she always knew that although this secular world lacked spiritual energy and various cultivation materials, the cultivation world had not abandoned this place, and the secular world also had a trump card, and it had the power to fight back when necessary.

However, after reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining, she also has a trump card... The Five Elements Escape Technique ensures that she can attack and retreat and defend. Before the barriers between the secular and the cultivation world disappear, no one can pose a fatal threat to her.

Under normal circumstances, she would only attack if her life was threatened... It was an iron rule that cultivators could not act recklessly towards ordinary people, but it was not out of mercy, but because of cause and effect. This cause and effect would not have any ups and downs under normal circumstances, but during the tribulation, it might turn into a demon in the heart of the cultivator.

Why is she angry?
A young girl was surrounded by people while she was sleeping at night... Is that right?!
Perhaps you could say that the people watching might be women... but they might also be men. There is never a lack of malice in this world, and since it concerns Ye Muxue's reputation, she couldn't help but be angry!
The young policeman had to be tough, but was stopped by Lao Xu and ordered him to apologize. Then he whispered in his ear. The young policeman suddenly realized the ambiguity brought by his words.

"I'm sorry." The young policeman apologized to Ye Muxue.

"Okay. I forgive you."

Ye Muxue was not unreasonable and said, "You can go and ask me where I am in and out of the courtyard. I will cooperate with you unconditionally if you have any questions."

"Can we go into your room and take a look?" Lao Xu asked cautiously.

At that moment just now, he felt like... being tortured! Not really being tortured, but it felt like a small blade was hanging on every inch of his skin. Although this feeling only lasted for a moment, he definitely didn't think it was a momentary illusion.

Although Lao Xu already thought Ye Muxue was not simple, he still had to search Ye Muxue's room for a police profession.

"Please." Ye Muxue opened the door and asked them to go in and check.

The result was naturally undeniable, and nothing was found. Ye Muxue smiled and sent the person away, closed the door with a slam, and closed the eyes of the neighbors outside the room.

"Sister! That's boring."

The beautiful girl took off her illusion: "It's not fun at all."

"All right!"

Ye Muxue had no choice but to comfort her: "After those people move away, we will specially refine a furnace of Hundred Herbs Pills for you."

As long as there are enough raw materials, one furnace can produce more than a hundred Hundred Herb Pills. The beautiful girl eats the Hundred Herb Pills as candy beans, and when she heard that she would be given a single furnace, she was immediately satisfied.

Ye Muxue successfully bribed and left the beautiful girl in the house. She returned to the Wu family courtyard to practice sword control.

When mentioning the art of wielding a sword, people would think of sword energy as bright as a rainbow or as rolling and unrolling as clouds... gorgeous to the extreme. However, the sword immortals in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" were all proficient in sword skills before they mastered the art of wielding a sword. Ye Muxue also started from the basics... Just drawing the sword and sheathing it, Ye Muxue practiced it more than a thousand times.

After she became proficient in drawing the sword and returning the sword, she began to practice the basic sword techniques of picking, supporting, stabbing, chopping, wiping, hanging, searching, closing, sweeping, and intercepting... For Ye Muxue, there were two obstacles that needed to be overcome. One was the need to adapt to the change in sword weapons, and the other was the need to adapt to the power of her spiritual consciousness. Fortunately, in the early stages, through a large number of talismans and alchemy, she had already become initially familiar with the mastery of spiritual consciousness, so it was relatively easy for her to control the flying sword.

In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed...

In the mountain and sea space, Qingfeng Mingyue quickly adapted to this place since they left the forest in the northeast. If it weren't for the collars on their necks, they would be almost no different from wild dogs. They are considered the rare carnivorous "beasts" in the mountain and sea space. Moreover, their bodies are bigger than before, like calves, and they really don't look like domestic dogs.

On this day, the two dogs had just completed a feat... they hunted two rabbits for lunch, and just as they were about to enjoy it, suddenly a green light shot towards them.

Although they didn't know what a flying sword was, it didn't stop them from instinctively feeling danger... After looking at their prey with reluctance, the two dogs turned around and rushed into the woods.

However, the light seemed to be more flexible than them, and it chased them relentlessly. Even though the dogs ran away, the sword light was still getting closer and closer... A bone-chilling chill forced them to run non-stop, and their eight thick claws were almost off the ground.

Suddenly, a clear laugh sounded outside the forest, and the sword light that was chasing relentlessly finally stopped... A flying sword stopped about three meters above the ground, and the sword still emitted a bone-piercing coldness.

"Wang..."

"Wang..."

The two dogs were so angry when they heard the unscrupulous master's laughter, but they did not dare to shout at the master, but they were full of fighting spirit at the sword... and grinned at it.

Suddenly, the cold light burst out from the flying sword, and the two dogs felt that the fur was as if they were stabbed by needles. They immediately screamed, clamped their tails and ran out of the forest.

Seeing the two dogs tuck their tails between their legs and seek comfort, Ye Muxue stroked the dogs' heads with one hand each, but her eyes were filled with a smile of success...

"Hahaha……"

What to do if you can't help it.

……

Wu family courtyard, main hall.

Old Wu sat comfortably... oh, should I say leaned on the recliner, holding a Xishi pot in his hand and took a sip from it, then squinted his eyes and muttered to himself: "This girl, she appears and disappears like a ghost, she didn't come back during the New Year, where did she go..."

There was a sudden noise in the yard, but Old Wu didn't take it seriously... But the next moment, he stood up from his chair. Luo Xiu'e couldn't come today because of something, and Ye Musong and his wife were at work during the day, so who was coming?

When I lifted the door curtain, I saw Ye Muxue, wrapped up like a ball, walking slowly to the rental house with a backpack on her back.

"Uncle Wu, Happy New Year!"

Ye Muxue also did not forget to wish everyone a happy new year.

"Happy New Year. I just remembered to wish you a happy new year even though the new year has passed." Old Wu has a toothache.

"It's the New Year before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Ye Muxue put down the basket, "Uncle Wu, is my aunt here?"

"She has guests at home today... It's just right that you come back. I was still thinking about how to solve the lunch problem."

Old Wu walked in all directions and looked at the basket, "When did the grassroots become treasures?" "What's your eyes at that time?"

Ye Muxue looked at him with disdain: "These are all medicinal herbs!"

"How many days have you been missing to get these medicinal herbs?"

Old Wu frowned, "You haven't gone home yet, do you know that your family members are looking for you like crazy?"

"oops!"

Ye Muxue patted her head after realizing it... I really forgot this!

"I was in such a hurry! I forgot about it for a moment. I'll go back right away."

"It doesn't take long, just cook my meal first."

Old Wu stopped her and said, "I have good news for you first."

Ye Muxue took the basket back into the house and went to the kitchen, not idle yet: "There is good news, let me tell me?"

"Your yard is out."

Old Wu looked at her face and said, "The ten households were trying to cancel the rent, so the housing management office had to agree. Now the legend of haunted yard has spread all over the place, and it is estimated that no one will rent it for a while."

"You are not afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid? Uncle Wu, to be honest with you, I bought this house with integrity. I don't owe anyone anything and I don't feel guilty. What should I be afraid of? Besides, I am a materialist and I never believe in ghosts or gods. Most likely, it's because of something those neighbors did in the past that I feel guilty about." Ye Muxue looked righteous.

Old Wu said nothing more and went back to the main room with his hands behind his back.

The kitchen is fully stocked with meat and vegetables, as well as various fried meatballs and smoked fish for the New Year. They are easy to make... In a short while, four dishes and a soup are ready.

"It's four dishes and one soup...but how many people are you preparing to eat?" Old Wu looked at the table in front of him.

"Two people... the amount is a little bit too much, but you have to let me eat enough. If you can't eat, the chef will starve to death."

"… Let's eat! I won't let you cook next time no matter what."

Old Wu sighed… But Ye Muxue’s cooking skills are indeed good. Luo Xiu’e is not on the same level as her.

After dinner, Ye Muxue cleaned up the dishes and was about to go home. Old Wu shouted "wait", then went into the gift room and took out a bag of snacks and canned food, as well as a bottle of Wuliangye. "Can you go back empty-handed? I can't use these things, you can take them back."

"Uncle Wu, thank you!"

Ye Muxue didn't pretend. She picked up the things, thanked him and walked out of the main room... Of course, she had to take the backpack with her.

"Xiao Ye, there is one more thing." Old Wu called Ye Muxue again.

"what's up?"

Ye Muxue looked at him puzzledly.

"In two days, Xiao Huo and Xiao Sun may want to find you to find out the situation... Don't be nervous, just answer according to the truth."

Old Wu still knows how to comfort people, but he doesn't know that 'answering truthfully' will make people nervous.

Walking on the street, feeling the festive atmosphere of this ancient land again, Ye Muxue couldn't help but have a feeling of unreality... This land has suffered from all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters for thousands of years, but the people living on this land have never lost the information of life. This kind of momentum is rare even in the world of cultivation. In the previous life, he was really confused. Relying on the space of mountains and seas, he actually survived in the world of cultivation... It was his own fault.

It was not nice to bring medicine into the house during the holidays, so Ye Muxue had already put away the backpack and walked into the yard carrying the net bag, greeting everyone she met.

"Aunt Li, Happy New Year."

"Hey, Happy New Year. Xiaoxue, you don't live at home?"

"No. I rented a house outside. Housing is tight at home. I have no choice."

"Have you found a job?"

"I've found it. The income is also stable."

As she spoke, she had already arrived at the door of her house... She pushed the door, but it was not locked.

Zhou Ru, who was sitting on the bed, heard Ye Muxue's speech and looked at the door. Ye Muxue entered the room and said, "Happy New Year, Mom."

Well, shut her up.

Materialism is materialism, and during the New Year, some unlucky words are still in good condition. When I see my daughter, I am lucky: "Where did you run away crazy during the New Year?"

"Mom, don't be angry."

Ye Muxue put the net bag on the table, sat on the bed, and made up a matter of finding medicine in the snow and ice... If your children don't believe it, can you believe others? Zhou Ru believed it immediately.

"Where's the third brother?"

"Your third brother is someone who can sit still. He went out to play with his friends again."

The annoying people are not at home, and Ye Muxue can sit down and talk to Zhou Ru in a relaxed manner... After all, cultivation is not the whole of life. The failure to overcome the tribulation in the previous life is because of the inner demons.

"Xiaoxue, someone came to propose marriage two days ago. If you think you can take a look..."

"Mom, didn't I say I wouldn't get married?"

"But girls will get married after all... If you don't get married, when we are gone in the future, you will be old and cannot take care of yourself. What should I do?"

"Mom, have you ever thought about this? If a woman is unable to carry anything and cannot give birth to a child in her husband's family, let alone whether she can get married, will her husband's family accept her? Can she live a happy life?"

"What? Can't have children?"

Zhou Ru's eyes suddenly widened, looking in disbelief.

"It's very dangerous." Ye Muxue felt a little reluctant when seeing this.

She couldn't talk about 'women should be independent', celibacy...even more avant-garde ideas like DINK couldn't be instilled, let alone immortality...The fact is that she was pursuing immortality, and she couldn't achieve it in a short period of time, so she had to take drastic measures, even if it meant throwing dirty water on herself.

Seeing Zhou Ru's distraught look, Ye Muxue had no choice but to continue... giving her the medicine, "Mom, I'm not as pessimistic as you think. I have a good relationship with my eldest brother, and Xiaotian is not a bad kid either. You can tell a person's future from his age when he is three years old. His character will definitely be good in the future, and he will be able to take care of me in my old age. Besides, I'm currently receiving treatment, and it won't be too late to get married after I'm cured. Then I can have eight or ten children to play with."

Zhou Ru laughed at this remark, "You think you are a pig, and you still give birth to eight or ten children."
