Chapter 395: 364
“Upgrade!”
After receiving a message from Mo Wuxin, Xu Mu rushed to Feng Luan’s place. At the same time, he opened his system interface and thought about upgrading his Mortal Tribulation True Body realm to see its effects.
[Mortal Tribulation True Body Tier One: 541/100k!]
“100k Luck Value for just the first tier?!”
Xu Mu’s brow furrowed. Based on his previous experiences in upgrading martial methods, each upgrade in realm demanded a doubling in cost. This method had a total of 81 tiers.
If calculated with doubling in mind, reaching the 81st tier would be astronomically difficult.
“Let’s just upgrade one tier and see!”
[Mortal Tribulation True Body +100!]
[Mortal Tribulation True Body +1000!]
…
[Mortal Tribulation True Body +10000!]
…
[Mortal Tribulation True Body Tier Two: 1/120k]
“Phew!”
Seeing that he had only upgraded two-tenths of his Luck Value, Xu Mu finally loosened his breath. Even though reaching the 81st tier was still astronomically difficult at this rate, it was at least somewhat bearable compared to doubling.
Xu Mu walked a little slower as he continued to upgrade. The unremarkably short journey took him the time of sipping a cup of tea.
When he arrived at Feng Luan’s place, he saw a woman in red clothes sitting in the courtyard with a cold face, looking displeased.
Feng Luan stood awkwardly next to her, whispering something non-stop.
“No need to explain any further, it’s enough that he isn’t driving me away with his high-handedness!” The red-clothed woman spoke mockingly.
“Sister, Xu Lang…”
Feng Luan wanted to explain something, but the red-clothed woman interrupted her with an outstretched hand.
“No need to say more, you’ve already had a child with him and I can’t change anything. Once I’ve seen him, I’ll leave! You don’t need to guess my thoughts!” The woman said coldly.
“Sister…”
“My apologies for making elder sister wait, it’s my fault. Please don’t blame Luan!”
Xu Mu came over with a smile and greeted the woman in red clothes.
Since Feng Luan addressed her as elder sister, this woman was undoubtedly the eldest sister-in-law Feng Que, the strongest disciple within the three biggest forces in Cang Ming Ocean Territory, the Cluster Stars Sect.
“My husband, you’re here!”
Seeing Xu Mu come over, Feng Luan’s tense face finally showed a smile.
Xu Mu went over and gently patted her on the head. The affectionate display caused Feng Que to narrow her eyes and huff coldly.
“You’re indeed handsome, no wonder you were able to deceive my sister!”
Feng Que’s face showed disdain.
Xu Mu heard from her words that she looked down on him as a gigolo.
The fact that Feng Que thought this way didn’t surprise him.
That was because the cultivation level he revealed was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. He had instructed Feng Luan beforehand not to say anything about his true cultivation level.
The reason why he did this was not to pretend to be weak only to reveal his strength later.
Nor did he plan to boast and slap her face in front of Feng Que.
The reason he did this was simply to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders.
If word accidentally leaked out that the Palace of Pure Heart housed a Golden Core Stage cultivator, it would undoubtedly attract even more attention and trouble.
The Palace of Pure Heart already had three Golden Core Stage cultivators, which was enough to make others envious. If they knew about him, it would be unimaginable what might happen.
There were just too many people in this world who didn’t want you to live peacefully.
The main reason, however, was that the Palace of Pure Heart was still newly established and did not have a force to match its power.
Having only powerful top-tier fighters couldn’t ensure true respect.
If anyone wanted to cause trouble for them, their Golden Core upper echelon would likely have to become firefighters.
It would be unacceptable for the upper echelons to handle every situation personally, just because they were understaffed.
