[Achievements:]
Gain A Daughter: Daily increase of 10 Luck Value!
[Luck Value: 363]
This upgrade had been significant, especially in terms of his life expectancy, which to Xu Mu’s delight, had increased by over twenty years.
Although he knew his lifespan would increase, he hadn’t expected this much. Originally, he thought an extension of eight to ten years would be lucky.
“The Thunderbolt Sword Skill would increase once it reaches the Grandmaster level, and the Transcendent realm wouldn’t even need to be mentioned! Taking into account the breakthrough in cultivation, 1 might be able to surpass the two hundred-year lifespan at the Foundation Establishment Stage while still at the Qi Cultivation Stage!”
After a cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can live for at least two hundred years.
However, his Luck Value was being consumed too quickly. The amount he had managed to save up was almost depleted.
He still had to figure out how to increase his Luck Value!
Once the battle was over, he would have to start preparing for a second child!
Xu Mu contemplated in his heart.
He left the room, ready to share the good news with his wife.
Contrary to his expectations, when he saw Ye Yingying, she not only lacked joy but seemed terrified.
“Who are you? Why are you in my house?”
Ye Yingying, gripping a talisman, shouted anxiously.

Xu Mu was speechless.
He touched his face and questioned with confusion, “Have 1 changed that much?”
“You… you’re my husband?”
Ye Yingying, recognizing Xu Mu’s voice, widened her eyes with uncertainty.
“Who else could 1 be but me? 1 just broke through in my cultivation, and as a result, I gained some lifespan!” Xu Mu said with a wry smile.
Ye Yingying examined him closely and gave him a tactile check to confirm that it was indeed her husband.
“My dear, your transformation… it’s too big!”
Ye Yingying was so surprised she was almost tongue-tied.
She turned to pick up a bronze mirror, wanting Xu Mu to see for himself.
But Xu Mu didn’t take it. Instead, he swiftly formed a hand seal, and a water mirror appeared out of thin air.
This Water Mirror Skill was a chance attainment from his recent magic cultivation. It could basically replace a mirror from his previous life.
Seeing Xu Mu form the water mirror, Ye Yingying put the bronze mirror back. A hint of envy flickered in her dark eyes.
She too wanted to learn this skill.
The Xu Mu in the mirror had a delicate and smooth face, void of wrinkles, with hair jet-black like ink. Each strand was as resilient as steel. His calm and composed countenance matched his pronounced nose, revealing a hint of perseverance and aggressiveness that one could not underestimate.
These changes weren’t too drastic; he originally was this handsome, but when all these features combined, they resulted in an earth-shattering transformation.
The whole person’s aura was more extraordinary, and he looked several years younger.
When he just got the system, he looked like an old cultivator in his sixties. After he took the Jade Marrow Pill and broke through in his cultivation, he looked like a mature man in his fifties.
And now, he totally stepped into the shoes of a robust man in his thirties or forties.
No wonder Ye Yingying didn’t recognize him momentarily.
Adding the hidden Grandmaster presence, he indeed felt like a new person.

It’s not bad!”
Xu Mu touched his chin, looked left and right in the mirror, and a smile of satisfaction slipped onto his face.
Who wouldn’t wish to look younger!
“Yiya! Yiyi!”
Little Ling’er, being held by Ye Yingying, stretched her hand towards Xu Mu, seeking attention.
“Hahaha! I didn’t expect you, little demon, also to be a face-watcher!” Xu Mu laughed heartily.
In the past, Little Ling’er would always refuse to be held by him. Even if he managed to hold her, she would cry after a while. It was indeed the first time she took the initiative to be held.
“This little girl doesn’t take after me at all!” Ye Yingying said, feeling a little annoyed.
She was not a face-watcher. Even when Xu Mu was quite old, she married him willingly and their marital relationship had been harmonious.
“I know! My Ying Er is the best!”
While holding Little Ling’er with one hand, Xu Mu teased Ye Yingying’s nose with the other, smiling.
“She must have taken after me. If 1 wasn’t a face-watcher, how could 1 have found such a beautiful wife like you!” Xu Mu winked at Ye Yingying, smiling.
“Hehe!”
Ye Yingying immediately burst into laughter.
What woman wouldn’t like to be praised?
After spending two days at home with his wife and adjusting to the changes in his body, Xu Mu left the house, ready to check the marketplace and see if Lan Shijin was still around.
As soon as he left his house, he ran into Li Moqing, the neighbor and wife of Jia An, who had just come back from outside.
Technically, she considered him the killer of her husband, but she didn’t know that yet.
“Did you come to find me, sir?”
Seeing Xu Mu, Li Moqing’s eyes were filled with a hint of flirtation and she asked with a full-faced smile.
She didn’t look like someone who just lost her husband at all.
Moreover, Li Moqing had undergone significant changes compared to a month ago. Her formerly chubby figure was now curvaceous, even her wide Taoist robe couldn’t hide that.
Especially her chest area, it was full and firm. Xu Mu wondered whether it was natural or intentionally made.
