Transformation (Happy New Year's Eve)

The next morning, Hongning Base City.

A deep blue King-Class Fighter descended slowly, and Shen Mu's figure emerged from the fighter jet.

As soon as he arrived at the Limit Martial Hall headquarters, Shen Mu saw an elderly white woman in her sixties walking out of the entrance of the spaceship-like building.

This was none other than Isadora, the Speaker of the HR Alliance, though her strength was only so-so. Although she possessed a Planet-Level Stage One cultivation, her combat experience was severely lacking.

"Councilor Shen Mu."

"Madam Isadora."

After Shen Mu and Isadora exchanged greetings, just as Shen Mu was about to enter the martial hall headquarters, he heard her say, "I wonder, Councilor Shen Mu, what were your gains on this trip to Mist Island?"

Another one after the Mu Ya Crystals. Although Shen Mu had quite a few Mu Ya Crystals, he didn't want to waste them.

"I'm sorry, Madam Isadora, but I've already arranged with the Hall Master to exchange the Mu Ya Crystals for some special treasures."

Isadora was disappointed upon hearing this, but she still exchanged a few polite pleasantries, expressing her hope for more opportunities to cooperate in the future.

After a few words in response, Shen Mu entered the martial hall headquarters and headed straight for Hong's reception room.

Inside the simple, quiet room, Hong was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, brewing tea.

His movements possessed a special charm, probably the so-called tea ceremony, but Shen Mu was a rough man and didn't really understand it.

"Hall Master," Shen Mu said with a slight bow.

A faint smile appeared on Hong's face. "Have a seat. You've taken the initiative to seek me out to exchange for treasures, so it seems your trip to Mist Island was quite fruitful."

Although Shen Mu was a member of the Limit Martial Hall, no one could interfere with the treasures he obtained privately.

"Indeed, I've made some gains. I'd like to exchange for a few Essences of Flora, as well as some special treasures from the ancient civilization ruins."

"No problem."

With that, Hong gently raised his hand, and a light screen appeared before Shen Mu, displaying a list of Essences of Flora and a list of treasures from the ancient civilization ruins.

Among the treasures from the ancient civilization ruins was even a Laser Handgun. After modification and repair, it could be charged with electricity, and its power was enough to kill Planet-Level monsters.

"Four Black God Suits, I'll take this Laser Handgun as well, and the No. 2 Essence of Flora, the Thousand-Year Ebony Root, I'll take all four of them."

Shen Mu took one last look at the treasures of the ancient civilization ruins and saw the Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber that had caught Babata's eye in the original story.

"And this Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber, I'll take it too."

Hong looked at Shen Mu in surprise, not expecting him to be so wealthy.

The value of four Black God Suits was equivalent to one Mu Ya Crystal, then the Laser Handgun was priced at the equivalent of two Mu Ya Crystals, and the Gravity Chamber was equivalent to 4.5 Mu Ya Crystals.

Finally, adding in the four Essences of Flora, it came to a total of 7.9 Mu Ya Crystals.

Shen Mu waved his hand, and eight Mu Ya Crystals, surrounded by faint light, appeared. "Hall Master, give me two portions of Dragon Blood as well, to round it off."

"Alright."

According to past practice, a person could only buy one Black God Suit at most, and there were many restrictions.

But this time, Hong made an exception, and didn't even mention any restrictions.

After all, one Black God Suit was enough for him, but there could never be enough Mu Ya Crystals, whether for his own cultivation or for nurturing the Mo Yun Vine.

"The Essences of Flora, Laser Handgun, and Black God Suits can be given to you now. As for the Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber, someone will personally deliver it to your door in a few days."

After Hong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a thread-bound booklet appeared on the low table in front of them.

"These are some of my insights into the domain. You can take them back and have a look."

Shen Mu didn't stand on ceremony and directly put away the booklet, saying, "Thank you, Hall Master."

Kyoto Base City, Shen Mu's home.

"This is the legendary Essence of Flora?"

Chen Wen and Shen Gang looked at the two strange black plants with curious expressions.

"These are two Thousand-Year Ebony Roots. There are detailed instructions on how to take them. Mom and Dad, you're both martial artists, these two Essences of Flora can raise your physical fitness to the peak of the War God level."

After Shen Mu finished speaking, he took out two more Black God Suits. Upon learning that the Black God Suit could weaken 90% of the attacks, including those from Councilor-level experts, his parents were even more amazed.

"This kind of treasure, I'm afraid it can't be bought with money, right?" Shen Gang looked at his son and asked.

Shen Mu didn't deliberately hide anything. "Well, I exchanged it with the Hall Master for a treasure that's very helpful even to Councilor-level experts."

Shen Gang frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to do this in the future. Your mother and I will work hard to cultivate. You should keep this kind of Councilor-level treasure for yourself."

Shen Mu repeatedly agreed, without arguing.

Shen Mu didn't plan to tell his parents about the Mu Ya Crystals for the time being. After the Golden Horned Beast incident was over, he would use the Mu Ya Crystals to help his parents break through to the Planet-Level.

"Mom and Dad, I've also bought some other treasures, and I plan to give them to Sister Yongqing. I'll be going now."

"Okay, go quickly," Chen Wen said quickly.

Shen Mu never claimed to be so noble. He did have ulterior motives when he first approached Tang Yongqing. Although he didn't need them now, he wouldn't kick her aside.

A dozen minutes later, Shen Mu's figure appeared in the main urban area of Kyoto, in front of a drug research institute affiliated with a certain research institute.

"Councilor Shen... you can go right in."

The security guard at the entrance of the research institute cautiously approached and said respectfully.

Shen Mu smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, if I go in, I'm afraid I'll disturb a lot of people. No need for such trouble."

Just as Shen Mu was speaking, Tang Yongqing, wearing a white coat, jogged over from the entrance of the research building.

"A'Mu!"

Tang Yongqing's tone was a little excited.

Shen Mu turned his head to look at Tang Yongqing. She must have just come out of the laboratory, wearing protective glasses, a bun, and a mesh cap.

"Sister Yongqing, I brought you some gifts."

As Shen Mu spoke, he handed the briefcase in his hand to Tang Yongqing, "The password is your birthday."

Tang Yongqing looked at the silver-white suitcase. Such a big box definitely wouldn't be a marriage proposal ring, and she looked at Shen Mu with some doubts.

"Inside is a dose of Dragon Blood, an Essence of Flora, and a Black God Suit."

Although Tang Yongqing had never heard of the Black God Suit, as a researcher in a national-level drug research laboratory, specializing in martial artist gene agents, she had naturally heard of the famous Dragon Blood and Essence of Flora.

"This... A'Mu, this is too precious."

Tang Yongqing's hand froze in mid-air as she reached for the briefcase.

Although the two had met each other's parents, and although they had reached the point of discussing marriage, they were not married after all. With Tang Yongqing's values, she couldn't accept such a valuable gift with peace of mind.

"Sister Yongqing, you have to learn to adapt. Who do you think your fiancé is? He is the youngest Councilor-level powerhouse in the world. You're making it hard for me to know how to interact with you."

What do you mean you don't know how to interact with me? I should be the one saying that.

Tang Yongqing took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of decision, and then looked at Shen Mu and said, "A'Mu, wait a moment, I'll ask for leave."

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Mu to respond, she turned around and ran towards the comprehensive building with the briefcase.

About half an hour later, Tang Yongqing came out, and her clothes had also changed. She had changed into a business-style blue shirt and a skirt, and her glasses had also been changed to a pair of frameless glasses, instantly maximizing her temperament.

"Let's go, A'Mu, let me take you to have fun. Are you familiar with the main urban area?"

Tang Yongqing pretended to be natural and grabbed Shen Mu's hand, but in reality, her fingers were trembling slightly due to nervousness.

"No, I've been living in Changshan City for the past ten years, and I've only been to the main urban area a few times."

"Is that so? Let me take you to have some fun."

Tang Yongqing pretended to be an older sister, taking Shen Mu around the main urban area for most of the day, basically to amusement parks and cinemas, which weren't very fun.

In the evening, the setting sun was about to set.

Tang Yongqing pulled Shen Mu into a hotel, took out her ID card, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Open a room."

The receptionist didn't recognize Tang Yongqing, but she recognized Shen Mu, who had been trending on social media several times recently.

"Okay, one king-size bed room." The receptionist showed an auntie-like smile.

After completing the formalities, Tang Yongqing took the room card and awkwardly pulled Shen Mu towards the upper floor.

The curtains were closed, and the faint sunset was blocked, plunging the entire room into darkness.

The faint night light flickered with a weak light, and exquisite curves intertwined and surged.

"Sister, is the room cold? Why are you shaking?"

Tang Yongqing closed her eyes tightly, as if she hadn't heard Shen Mu's question.

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and demonstrated a set of Harmony of Man and Nature level marksmanship on the spot.

"I'm not, not cold..."

Tang Yongqing's voice was like weeping, and facing Shen Mu's Harmony of Man and Nature level marksmanship, she was no match at all, and could no longer maintain her older sister posture.

Happy New Year's Eve, here's a welfare chapter for the LSP!
