What a lucky world!

Chapter 191 Advance to the late stage!

When the wild dragon's body was fished out from the bottom of the lake, it instantly caused a sensation in the Bihu Water Village.

Except for the very few people who had followed Luo Yunxiu to hunt the wild dragon and had seen its true form, most people only knew that a ferocious wild dragon had appeared in the lake.

When they actually saw the body that was more than ten meters long and the head that was as big as a carriage, even though it was just a corpse, everyone gasped and felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

Some people even knelt on the ground to thank the village chief for his blessing.

Luo Yunxiu naturally would not take credit for Zhang Mu's achievement, and he quickly spread the word that Zhang Mu, the young leader of Qianyuan Wuzhai, had personally killed the wild dragon.

As a result, Zhang Mu's reputation quickly became famous in Bihu Water Village, and was even surpassing his reputation in Qianyuan Martial Village.

However, Zhang Mu didn't know about these situations.

He is in seclusion to absorb the Mermaid Pearl!

……

Through Shisan Niang's explanation, Zhang Mu finally knew how to absorb the Mermaid Pearl.

This mermaid pearl contains the life energy of a male mermaid throughout his life, and humans cannot use it directly.

He needed to first make a hole in the Mermaid Pearl, then draw the power inside into his body, re-gather it at his dantian, and form a new "Mermaid Pearl" in his body for his body to absorb.

The Mermaid Pearl in Zhang Mu's hand should have been left behind by a male mermaid who was at the perfect stage of Nourishing Liquid. Almost half of its power was absorbed by the wild dragon, but there was still a lot of power left.

It took two full days for Zhang Mu to finally draw all the power of the Mermaid Pearl into his body and gather it in his dantian.

At this time, Zhang Mu was feeling the abundant power flowing through his meridians and striking his acupoints, trying to turn his acupoints into the sea.

After about an incense stick of time, the empty orifice that had already gathered about 70% of the energy was filled with Yuan Xi and turned into the fifth orifice sea.

An hour later, the sixth orifice of the sea was completed!

Possessing six acupoints is already the peak of the middle stage.

The power of the Mermaid Pearl continued, and the tremendous power was continuously sent into the seventh empty orifice.

This time it took a full two hours, and the seventh empty orifice was also filled and turned into a sea of orifices.

At this point, Zhang Mu officially entered the late stage of the Nourishing Fluid Realm!
The power continued to pour into the eighth orifice.

It was not until the eighth empty cavity turned into an orifice sea and the ninth empty cavity accumulated about 50% of the vital energy that the power of the Mermaid Pearl was completely absorbed by Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

He looked at his hands, feeling the powerful flow of vital energy in his body.

From the middle to the late stage, it seems that only the total amount of Yuanxi increases, but in fact, it is the further expansion of the meridians and the overall improvement of physical quality.

If he were to fight the wild dragon again with his current cultivation level, Zhang Mu felt that he didn't need to look for any weaknesses at all. He could just draw his sword from the wild dragon's mouth and attack head-on to break its scale defense and kill it.

Just as Zhang Mu was adjusting to his rapidly increasing cultivation, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Shisan Niang's voice: "Brother Mu, how's your cultivation going?"

Zhang Mu quickly got up from the bed and opened the door: "Sister Xuan'er..."

Shisanniang looked at Zhang Mu and smiled: "Is it over?"

"Yes." Zhang Mu nodded, "It has reached the stage of the ninth sea of orifices."

Upon hearing this, Shisan Niang's face lit up with joy: "So it's already in the late stages..."

"Now that we have you and Lu Xuanxiu, two people in the late stage of nourishing fluid, in the Wuzhai, Brother Lin's pressure is much less."

Zhang Mu nodded in agreement and then asked, "Sister Xuan'er, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Shisanniang then remembered the important matter, and the joy on her face faded. She sighed softly, "Someone has come from Lingyan Mountain. Village Master Luo said that if it's convenient for you, you can go and meet him together."

……

Arriving at the conference room, Zhang Mu clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn.

When he came in, Luo Yunxiu saw Zhang Mu and forced a smile, asking, "Brother Mu, are you done with your training?" Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, Village Master Luo."

If Luo Yunxiu had not issued the order to eliminate the demon, he would not have come to the water fort. If he had not come to the water fort, he would not have met the wild dragon. If he had not met the wild dragon, he would not have been able to obtain the Mermaid Pearl.

I have to thank Luo Yunxiu for this opportunity.

Luo Yunxiu shook his head: "I was the one who discovered the wild dragon first, but I just didn't have the luck. No need to thank me."

After Luo Yunxiu finished speaking, Zheng Youqian from Sanggan Mountain also stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Mu, saying, "I'm so grateful to you, little friend Zhang, for saving me from the lake. But since we've returned, you've been practicing cultivation, so I couldn't disturb you. I'd like to express my gratitude today. Thank you for saving my life."

"Zheng's abilities are limited, but if you need me in the future, please send a letter to my Sanggan Mountain. As long as it does not violate brotherly loyalty and the conscience of heaven and earth, I will walk through water and fire without hesitation!"

"Senior Zheng, you're too kind." Zhang Mu hurried forward to help Zheng Youqian up. "We're all working together to eliminate the demon. You don't have to take such a small matter to heart."

After the greetings were over, Luo Yunxiu spoke again: "Brother Mu, let me introduce him to you."

"This is Guo Ling, the son of Guo En, the leader of Lingyan Wuzhai."

"Guo Ling, this is Zhang Mu, the young master of Qianyuan Martial Village."

Zhang Mu had already noticed a strange young man in the meeting hall. After Luo Yunxiu introduced his identity, Zhang Mu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Brother Guo."

Guo Ling also raised his hand to return the greeting, but his expression was dull, as if he was disheartened.

Seeing Guo Ling's expression, Zhang Mu frowned slightly. It was not that he felt Guo Ling did not respect him, but he felt that the weird atmosphere in the hall might be related to him.

Sure enough, when Zhang Mu sat down, Luo Yunxiu said to him: "Brother Mu, Lingyan Wuzhai is gone..."

Zhang Mu's heart trembled, and he looked at Guo Ling. Guo Ling noticed Zhang Mu's gaze and nodded. "At that time, I was smelting weapons in the fire chamber in the mountains. My father pushed down the stone door, and I was able to escape through the secret passage in the fire chamber..."

"Who did it?" Zhang Mu asked. "Frost Moon Mountain?"

"Not only that." Guo Ling shook his head, "There's also Yunfeng Martial Village!"

Zhang Mu nodded.

The Yunfeng Martial Village, along with the Lingyan Martial Village, was a faction located in Ansu Prefecture. Like the Yanping Martial Village, they were loyal lackeys of the Frost Moon Martial Village. When the Frost Moon Martial Village took over the Yongxiu Company in Su City, it was through the Yunfeng Martial Village that they controlled it.

"How's the situation in Yanping Wuzhai?" Zhang Mu suddenly asked Luo Yunxiu.

Luo Yunxiu gave Ruan Feng a look, and Ruan Feng said, "The three Yangye Realm cultivators in Yanping Wuzhai were all killed by Young Master Zhang, so naturally they have no ability to resist."

"Two days ago, Chief Wang and I took over Yanping Mountain."

"Chief Wang is still finishing up things in Yanping Mountain."

Zhang Mu nodded: "The Lingyan Mountain incident may be a threat from Shuangyue Mountain to our alliance!"

"But the incident at Yanping Wuzhai can be considered a counterattack against them."

"Even if they want to take action next time, I guess they will be cautious."

Everyone fell silent. At this moment, Wang Junhu suddenly spoke up, "Friend Zhang, may I ask, what is your current level of cultivation?"

Zhang Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Luozhai. I have absorbed all the Mermaid Pearls and have now reached the late stage of the Nourishing Fluid Realm!"

"If Sha Tonghai wants to fight, Dad and I can join forces and fight him!"

After hearing Zhang Mu's confident words, the atmosphere at the scene finally relaxed a little.

Before Zhang Mu could say anything else, Guo Ling, who was sitting nearby, seemed to have made a decision. He suddenly stood up, walked over to Zhang Mu, knelt on both knees, and said, "Young Master Zhang, I would like to surrender to your camp. Please take me in!"

This scene happened so suddenly that no one could react.

Zhang Mu was about to help Guo Ling up when he suddenly froze.

Because he felt that his scroll of divine secrets moved!
