Half a year later.
Immortal Spirit Abode, Halting War Abode.
In the reception pavilion outside the Cave Abode, Chu Mu sat within while several maidservants attended him nearby.
The Cave Abode was surrounded by a light curtain, making it impossible to glimpse the scene within.
Chu Mu toyed with a fist-sized Jade Box in his hand, though his gaze was somewhat unfocused.
By his expectations, the so-called Mixed Origin As You Wish Pill, though a fourth-order superior-grade pill, should have taken at most several dozen days to refine.
Yet reality had completely exceeded his expectations.
A fourth-order superior-grade pill was not particularly difficult for him.
But this Mixed Origin As You Wish Pill presented quite a few difficulties.
Only, that difficulty did not lie in the alchemy itself.
It lay in how to make this Mixed Origin As You Wish Pill compatible with Xu Lingtian, while also compatible with the person Xu Lingtian would seize.
According to his original assumption, it should have been nothing more than seizing a cultivator with decent spiritual root aptitude. But Xu Lingtian's Body Seizing was somewhat different.
Perhaps...
Perhaps it could not even be called Body Seizing.
"Reincarnation?"
"Taking residence?"
Chu Mu pondered, and even gained a measure of understanding.
This Body Seizing was somewhat similar to his Nirvana Rebirth.
The only difference was that one involved the origin of a Divided Spirit, while the other actively cast in all the consciousness of a remnant soul.
Buzz...
At that moment, the formation restrictions dispersed. Supported by Xu Changqing, a young woman who was visibly far along in her pregnancy emerged from the Cave Abode.
Chu Mu turned to look, and his gaze instantly fixed upon the woman's swollen belly.
The woman was merely in the Qi Refining Realm, but her aptitude was exceptionally good.
