"But I've heard that Young Master Su is extremely talented. It's a real pity I've never been able to meet him."
"Yes, yes, I wonder what that demon king looks like. After hearing that line about witnessing the most magnificent face in the mortal world, even we courtesans pale in comparison."
The courtesans behind the screen suddenly began to whisper among themselves, seemingly forgetting all about the talented men from the vassal states as they discussed Su Mu.
Deng Tianping's face darkened as he listened to these courtesans talking about Su Mu so brazenly in front of him and his entourage.
Judging from their expressions, they only have Su Mu in their hearts; they don't care about any of them!
"Hmph! Let's go!"
A surge of anger rose in Deng Tianping's heart. He had originally planned to come here to find the talented scholar of Great Liang, and then provoke him and embarrass him.
Unexpectedly, not only did I not see the person, but I also failed to save face for the other party. Instead, I was outshone, which made me impatient.
Upon hearing this, the other talented men also rose and left, as there was indeed no need for them to stay any longer.
Upon seeing this, the courtesans realized that they seemed to have offended all these talented men, but after thinking about it, they no longer cared.
Anyway, these talented people from other countries are only staying here for a few days, so there's no need to care so much about them.
"Young master is in trouble."
In the courtyard, Su Mu looked at the array and felt that it would be completed soon around the villa when Xiao Wu suddenly rushed in.
"What trouble?" Su Mu looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Wu immediately recounted what had happened at the Entertainment Bureau a type of entertainment venue), which made Su Mu frown, but he quickly regained his composure.
He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just some guys from those vassal states. The princess had already said that those guys might target him, so it didn't really matter whether it was true or not.
However, to Su Mu's surprise, the courtesans of the Entertainment Bureau were now eyeing him.
"Are you happy now? Even the women of the Entertainment Bureau are enamored with you. Are you thinking of going to experience the Entertainment Bureau's allure?"
Yu Guyue suddenly turned her head, her eyes alluring and seductive.
Su Mu sensed something was off. Despite Yu Guyue's seemingly encouraging words, Su Mu knew he would be in deep trouble if he actually went.
"What would I do going to a place like that? I'm already struggling with not being able to cultivate."
Su Mu felt a headache coming on when he talked about this. After gaining a physical body, Su Mu realized that he couldn't cultivate, and that Cultivation Method were completely useless.
However, after acquiring a physical body, the blue lotus will automatically absorb Spiritual Power and then nourish the body.
The Spiritual Power that Dao Lotus absorbed was extremely pure, but the absorption rate was very slow, far slower than when cultivating.
Fortunately, Earth was unaffected by this Dao Lotus and could cultivate on its own; otherwise, Su Mu would have thought that he had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment.
Hearing Su Mu change the subject to cultivation, Yu Guyue's expression immediately returned to normal.
"It seems that cultivators only need to cultivate the Dao Lotus. You should start from this point. I imagine that once all the lotuses have bloomed, your strength will increase dramatically."
Dao Lotus may seem difficult to cultivate, but if one can figure out the method, the improvement in strength will be incomparable to other Cultivation Method.
Su Mu knew this, but he was still looking for Cultivation Method. The Cultivation Method that the princess had given him before was too useless. He wanted to find a suitable Cultivation Method so that he could cultivate more smoothly on Earth.
Lin Hongbin listened from the side, feeling completely bewildered; he didn't understand what the two were talking about Dao Lotus.
Is the gap between him and Su Mu really that big? Was all those classic texts he read before a waste of time?
At this moment, Lin Hongbin was filled with questions, wondering if he had wasted his decades of reading.
Su Mu nodded in response, then went back inside to prepare to go back to Earth to eat something first, and also to complete the last bit of the array around the villa.
On Earth, Su Mu walked out of the room, took the Spirit Stone and connected the last few points. Instantly, mist rose up and enveloped the entire villa.
Satisfied, Su Mu clapped his hands, took a piece of fruit from the refrigerator, and took a bite. It wasn't as delicious as the food from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Su Mu frowned, feeling that his palate was being spoiled by the things from the Immortal Cultivation Realm. He should save some for himself once the fruit trees below bore fruit.
Just as Su Mu was pondering this matter, his phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Wang Peng.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
This guy certainly picked a good time; it just so happened that he was returning to Earth.
Why did you move?
Wang Peng looked puzzled. He was at the apartment Su Mu used to rent, but he only found out after arriving that Su Mu no longer lived there.
"Oh, so you're not staying there anymore?" Su Mu took out the remaining bit of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, preparing to use it up.
"Could you come over for a get-together? Monkey and the others are here."
Seeing this, Wang Peng said helplessly, "I originally wanted to give Su Mu a surprise, but I didn't expect Su Mu to not be here anymore."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu instinctively wanted to refuse. He had been quite busy lately, and he really didn't have time to go back.
But upon hearing the voices of Monkey and the others on the phone, Su Mu swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Okay, but it'll probably take a while to get there."
Su Mu glanced at the time and said something directly.
"It's okay, we'll wait for you!"
When Wang Peng saw that Su Mu had agreed, he immediately beamed with joy, told Su Mu to hurry up, and then hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Su Mu didn't waste any words and immediately went down the mountain.
The reason he didn't refuse was that when Su Mu was in college, his father had an accident and was hospitalized, which required various expenses. Su Mu couldn't bear to see his parents having to borrow money from all over the place to support his college education, so he decided to drop out of school and work.
After Wang Peng and his classmates found out about this, they all lied to their families and asked for a lot of money to pay for Su Mu's tuition. In the following years of university, they even ate a lot of meals off Su Mu.
After so many years away, Su Mu wanted to return the money to them, but Wang Peng and the others knew about Su Mu's situation and refused to take it, saying that they would take care of them after Su Mu became successful.
It's obvious to everyone that this is just to avoid putting any burden on Su Mu.
Su Mu was well aware of this and remembered the favor. He had originally planned to let Wang Peng test the waters with him first, and then inform his good buddies later. He didn't expect that Wang Peng and the others would all be gathered together now.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Su Mu hurriedly headed down the mountain, taking out his phone to book a plane ticket for himself.
Meanwhile, the garrison at the foot of the mountain was holding down a group of people, preparing to take them away.
"These guys are really cunning. We thought we had locked onto the intruders and that would be the end of it. We didn't expect another group to sneak in here. What a clever feint! They've completely fooled us."
Wei Zhonghao looked at the group of people who had almost reached the top of the mountain, and his expression was rather unpleasant.
However, compared to him, the expressions on the faces of these other people were far more unpleasant.
They were extremely careful and meticulous on their journey, and along the way, they had many accomplices who had been lurking in Huaxia for a long time to help cover them.
They themselves were the elite of the elite, yet they had been captured so easily. This made them feel utterly humiliated, and it was no wonder their expressions were grim.
At this moment, hearing the words of the people around him that seemed to be a disgrace to their ability to infiltrate, he was filled with shame and anger, feeling utterly humiliated!
Just then, a person slowly walked down the mountain road in the distance, which made his expression change. When they came, they had obtained some information. They heard that there was a very important person in the Qinling Mountains who was related to the two previous anomalies and was likely a very important scientific researcher.
Filled with shame and anger, and knowing that the other person was extremely important, he suddenly kicked his right heel with his left foot, and instantly a small, dark object on the toe of his right foot burst out and flew towards Su Mu.
When Wei Zhonghao saw this scene, his breath hitched, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
"Careful!"
Wei Zhonghao exclaimed in surprise, and the small object exploded in front of Su Mu, engulfing Su Mu in flames.
Wei Zhonghao felt like he was about to stop breathing. He knew how important Su Mu was, and now the person he had captured had actually killed Su Mu! How was he going to explain himself?
The squad members standing nearby were stunned at the sight, then quickly knocked the men to the ground and held them down, their eyes turning bloodshot.
The infiltrating team smiled at this moment. Judging from the group's reaction, they understood that their mission might have failed, but it could also be considered a success! Because they all knew that there was such a person on the mountaintop who seemed to be extremely important to Huaxia!
Since this person is dead, their mission shouldn't be considered a failure.
But the next moment, their expressions froze on their faces, because a person slowly walked out from the flames of the explosion.
The other person's face was gloomy, with a hint of displeasure, as he turned his head and said, "Who threw the firecrackers?"
