Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

In the vast Qing'an County, only one little girl truly missed Zhuang Sheng, but the sensible girl also knew that her husband had done something very, very bad.

This angered the usually mild-mannered Da'an, who has now fled Lingzhou and gone to a very, very far place.

Compared to Mr. Zhuang, with whom she had only spent half a year, Mu Ling'er cared more about Da'an, with whom she spent every day.

Children are like that; a moment's companionship is only temporary, and they gradually forget about it over time.

All she really wanted was someone to teach her to read and play with her.

More importantly, although she no longer had a teacher, her favorite Da'an would set aside an hour every day to personally teach her to read.

Although Da'an is a little stricter, he is just as gentle and always encourages her. She can also act coquettishly with Da'an and ask for what she wants without any restraint.

I'm so happy!

The only downside is that every time she asks Da'an if she can call him "Daddy," he says no.

Hmph! Other people's fathers aren't even as good as Da'an's! Her Da'an is the best, the most amazing!

The best in the world! The most amazing in the world!

She, Mu Ling'er, is not some child born without a mother or raised without a father!

That wicked older sister from the Qin family was clearly just jealous of her, that's why she said that!

I've decided, I'm going to bite Da'an's arm later!

He bullies children because he told them not to shout!

"Why is she biting? Is Little Ling'er a puppy?"

"Hehehe!!!"

"Tired of studying? Would you like something to eat, or would you like to go somewhere fun?"

"hug!"

……

The 28th day of the first month of the third year of Tianxin.

The rare and precious materials left by Princess Yongning were used up yesterday. In just three years, Mu An has used up nearly two hundred of these rare and precious materials.

His cultivation level also soared, and his understanding of heaven and earth, nature, and the Five Elements was rapidly advancing. Mu An himself was not sure what level he had reached.

He is slightly stronger than an ordinary Celestial Martial Saint, but he seems to be far from being a terrestrial immortal.

The five of them—the previous commander, Granny Flower Arranger, Bai Lingshan of the Tiger Legion, Xiao Linshan, the deputy commander of the Tiger Legion, and the newly promoted Celestial Martial Saint—could probably barely fight him to a draw.

In a one-on-one situation, each of them only needs to think about how to escape.

The total number of Martial Saints is not large, and they are scattered throughout the world, with most of them not moving around easily.

Mu An had not seen many Martial Saints. Among the Martial Saints he had seen, the strongest were probably those old eunuchs in the Tianqi Palace.

Several years ago, when Mu An and Jun Yunxin stormed into Tianqi Palace, two of the four old eunuchs gave him a mysterious feeling.

Those two old eunuchs were clearly a level above the others.

But that was four years ago. Now, only a fight will tell who is stronger and who is weaker.

Over the years, Mu An did not rest on his laurels. He mobilized his forces to search for rare and precious treasures throughout Lingzhou.

Three whole years have passed, and only one thousand-year-old ginseng fruit tree has been found deep in Qishan, with no hope of ever bearing fruit.

We did find some that were a hundred or two hundred years old, but the results were not ideal.

Compared to what he used before, the natural patterns and textures contained within it are completely different.

The quality of the spiritual energy they contain is also extremely low; dozens of them are needed to compare to a single true rare and precious plant.

This result also made Mu An realize that most of the rare and precious materials in the world had probably already been divided up by the major powers.

He sent people to surround the valley where the ginseng fruit tree was located, so as not to interfere with the natural growth of the fruit tree as much as possible.

For the sustainable development of the spiritual creatures, he kept the seeds of the spiritual creatures that had seeds, and found several places with abundant spiritual energy deep in Qishan to plant the seeds.

His main goal for the next few decades will be to comprehend the universe, understand the five elements, create techniques, and study how to transform primordial energy into spiritual energy.

Mu An was unsure of his chances of success, so he decided to prepare for both possibilities.

While cultivating rare and precious materials, they also comprehend the Great Dao and study the relationships between different types of energy.

Spiritual energy, vital energy.

The power of the sun, the moon, and the stars.

These are all excellent research directions, and it is worthwhile for him to spend a long time exploring them step by step.

Ironically, because of the similar calendars and the existence of polar and tropical zones, Mu An had always thought that she lived on an enormous planet.

When he discussed this matter with the Sage of Painting, the Sage looked at him as if he were a fool and then threw out a remark.

"Read more books in your spare time. Princess Yongning left behind many ancient books and embarked on the path of seeking the Tao. Such ignorance is not a good thing."

That evening, Mu An visited Lin Li and borrowed a cartload of ancient books.

As he watched, he became dumbfounded.

The sun revolves around the world in a specific orbit, while the moon is opposite it. The two are interdependent, share the same origin, and are two sides of the same coin.

The location of the celestial constellations has not been confirmed to date. Some terrestrial immortals have explored beyond the celestial realm and believe that the celestial constellations are not real, but rather projections of celestial stars.

Some terrestrial deities have also pointed out that the celestial constellations truly exist in this world, but are too far away to be explored.

Those cultivation techniques related to stars are the best evidence.

Perhaps the celestial constellations do not belong to any one realm, but are shared by countless worlds like theirs.

That evening, Mu An was flipping through a book in his room while spewing profanities, which woke Mu Ling'er up. She stood in front of the door, glaring at him with her big, watery eyes, touching his forehead and his big hand.

Mu An was in a very good mood because of his fearful appearance.

This is utterly shameful!

This is completely unscientific!

Master Jia, Master Kai, Master Niu, and Master Ha are turning in their graves!

……

After three busy years, Mu An has finally found some free time.

Mu An had many plans, but he wasn't in a hurry. He would take it slow, as cultivating immortality was something that couldn't be rushed.

He has plenty of time; a little extra time won't make a difference.

Everything was proceeding according to plan, and the soldiers under the Qishan Road were gradually improving their skills.

Compared to research that seems to have no end in sight, he now prefers to accompany Mu Ling'er in her studies and gradually teach her some principles of life.

Over the years, even the hot-tempered Xiao He has changed a lot. She now prefers the servants in the Xiong family to the fierce Mu Ling'er.

Of course, compared to other wealthy families, the rules of the Mu family were not particularly strict. Even if Xiaohe occasionally found fault, she would only say a few words.

Under Mu An's influence, neither of the two stewards were particularly interested in so-called family rules and laws.

Unless it's really too outrageous, they'll be given some punishment, or they might be dismissed and sent to the authorities.

Over the years, only one person received the treatment of being sent to the yamen (government office for repatriation), and that was a maid who looked quite clever. Xiao He originally wanted her to take care of Mu Ling'er.

As a result, the dishonest maid actually stole more than a dozen pieces of jewelry from Mu Ling'er, which made Xiao He furious on the spot. She took the maid to the county government office and had her beaten with a rod according to the law of the court.

If there was anything that Mu An was dissatisfied with, it was the matter of Lin'an Hall.

Ever since Lin Zhimin was rescued by Mu An, his health has been deteriorating.

In just six months, he looked at least ten years older.

The old man rarely sees patients in the clinic anymore; most of the time he appears lifeless.

Only when his apprentices encountered some incurable illness would a glimmer of light appear in Lin Zhimin's eyes.

Mu An knew that Lin Zhimin, whom he had known for half a year, had already died, and the one who was alive now was nothing more than a walking corpse.

He even began to doubt whether he should have saved the old man who was burdened with too many sins six months ago.

Not knowing what he could do, he simply wrote a letter and sent it to Medicine King Valley.

He could only do his best and accept his fate; this was all he could do.

People who don't want to live have many ways to die, but since Lin Zhimin is still clinging to life, instead of choosing to commit suicide when he can't see it, he should do it.

Perhaps there was some unfulfilled wish, so I simply helped him fulfill this wish, which may or may not even exist.
