After confirming that the Teleportation Array was working properly, Su Mu stayed for a while and, after making sure there were no problems, left.
I wonder what their reaction will be when some foreign probe launches a lunar probe and captures images of several new bases suddenly appearing on the far side of the moon?
Thinking about this, Su Mu felt inexplicably amused.
Five hours later, Su Mu arrived at Wang Peng's company building by car.
Upon seeing Su Mu arrive, Wang Peng immediately took Leizi and the other person off work.
"The restaurant reservation is ready, let's go grab a drink together."
Wang Peng appeared extremely excited.
He has rarely been able to contact Su Mu since Su Mu resigned a few months ago.
The messages he usually sent to Su Mu were mostly in a loop.
It was an even greater privilege to be able to meet Su Mu.
"I won't say much more, we brothers really have to thank you for how we've become wealthy!"
Inside the restaurant, the group had barely sat down when Wang Peng, Lei Zi, and the other two raised their glasses to toast Su Mu.
Why be so polite? We're all family.
Seeing how agitated they were, Su Mu tried to calm them down.
After a few drinks, Wang Peng and his companions finally calmed down a bit.
"Let's not talk about anything else today, and don't bother with thank yous. You can just talk to me about women or games, it's all fine!"
After Su Mu finished drinking, he directly interrupted the people who were about to speak.
If they continue on this trend, they'll probably have to thank themselves for half an hour.
The three smiled upon hearing this, then nodded. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Wang Peng readily agreed, and then the conversation shifted to other topics.
"Speaking of which, haven't you guys felt that things have been a bit strange in our country lately? A while ago, there was that beam of light, then the dark clouds, and finally that meteorite. To be honest, even now when I watch that video again, I still get goosebumps."
Wang Peng got up, poured wine for Su Mu and the others, and then said with a strange look.
"Don't you find it strange? The strange things that happened before were so bizarre that our country suddenly seems strange."
"That's right. I feel like all these things that happened this year are still unsolved mysteries. I wonder when we'll be able to find out what really happened."
Leizi quickly responded upon hearing this.
Compared to talking about women, they prefer to talk about these kinds of things; they're not only exciting but also very engaging.
Or we could talk about the war.
The three of them couldn't stop talking about this topic.
They are particularly interested in things that have directly blasted meteorites.
Su Mu noticed that the three of them really enjoyed this topic, and occasionally chimed in with his own comment.
The group chatted about these topics, and then reminisced about trivial things from their school days.
Most of my female classmates from university are now married with children, and they occasionally post photos of their kids on social media.
Everyone changes a lot.
As for those few, they are still unmarried and childless.
However, Wang Peng recently got a girlfriend, and because he started a company, he made a lot of money, so he has become much more confident.
As a result, Leizi and Monkey both found a girl they knew, although she wasn't their girlfriend yet, but they were just one step away from becoming girlfriends.
According to Wang Peng, it seems that as his net worth increased, a number of high-quality girls suddenly started appearing around him.
Su Mu smiled upon hearing this.
It seems that Wang Peng has now moved on from the heartbreak of his previous breakup.
"Hey, by the way, Su Mu, it seems you haven't found another girlfriend yet?"
When the topic of girlfriends came up, Leizi paused slightly and looked at Su Mu.
"How about we introduce you to one? It definitely won't be bad."
The three of them seemed to care a great deal about Su Mu's Su Mu, and as they talked, they began to make arrangements for her.
This left Su Mu somewhat dumbfounded, but before he could refuse, the group actually made a phone call and arranged to meet someone.
This surprised Su Mu for a moment.
"What's going on with you guys? You didn't call me all this way just to do this for me, did you?"
Seeing how smoothly and effortlessly the group moved, Su Mu suddenly became suspicious.
The group chuckled, offering no denial.
"Look at you, it's been so long since you had a girlfriend, and you still haven't found one. If you don't find one soon, your hands will get calluses. Besides, won't your parents start pressuring you?"
The three chatted and laughed as they called the waiter to come and tidy up the table.
Wang Peng's girlfriend will be arriving soon, Wang Peng it seems he asked her to bring her best friend along.
"That's utter nonsense. I'm telling you, since we've already invited you here, there's nothing more to say. But please don't try to matchmake me with you; I really don't have the time right now."
With that time, Su Mu would be better off cultivating more in the Qinling Mountains.
Seeing how serious Su Mu was, the group exchanged glances.
"Alright, then you can see for yourself if you like anything, and if you do, you can make the decision yourself."
Since Su Mu had already said that, they naturally couldn't say anything more.
A moment later, Wang Peng's girlfriend arrived at the restaurant with her best friend.
Wang Peng's girlfriend is quite beautiful, much prettier than his previous one, and has a slender figure.
The other woman brought three close female friends, all of whom were quite attractive and knew how to dress well.
Su Mu glanced at it casually and then stopped looking, continuing to chat with Wang Peng and the others.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Peng suggested going to sing karaoke, partly hoping that Su Mu would take the initiative.
However, seeing that Su Mu didn't seem very interested, they had no choice but to give up. The women who came, on the other hand, were extremely interested in Su Mu.
Intentionally or unintentionally, they wanted to chat with Su Mu Su Mu for a bit, asking her what she did for a living and what she liked in her spare time.
Do you want to go for a walk together later? Are there any fun places nearby? I'd like to go somewhere...
The meaning was extremely clear, but Su Mu maintained a lukewarm attitude throughout.
Seeing this, Leizi and the others were helpless. This Su Mu, for some reason, seems to be getting more and more handsome lately.
Even with their behavior, these women still clung to Su Mu. It seems that being handsome really does give you the right to be willful.
This made them realize they were overthinking things. With Su Mu's qualities, wouldn't he be able to find a girlfriend if he really wanted to?
The next day, Su Mu woke up in the hotel and got into the car to go home.
Back in the county town, Su Mu bought a car and a house outright, intending to put his parents' minds at ease.
There's no car to get from the county town to my hometown, which is really inconvenient; a car is definitely necessary.
When Su Mu drove home with the nutritional supplements she had bought, she was immediately bombarded with questions from her mother.
Su's parents look much better now, with improved complexion, and they appear to be several years younger.
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she would take out spirit medicine from her Storage Ring in the next few days to nourish her parents.
After dealing with his parents' questioning, Su Mu finally had a chance to go back upstairs and visit the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Su Mu opened his eyes, glanced at the nearly depleted inkstone, and reached out to replace it with a new one.
"You're awake?"
Su Mu had just finished changing his calligraphy when Yu Guyue appeared beside him at some point.
As he spoke, he handed the Fallen Star Sword to Su Mu, "This sword has been forged; you can try it out."
At this moment, Yu Guyue's aura had fully recovered, and her complexion had become much rosier, making her look as if she had received a great benefit.
Su Mu took the Fallen Star Sword and glanced at it. The flying sword hadn't changed much, but there seemed to be a jade stone in the center of the hilt, with a milky white flame inside, slowly burning.
"What Divine Ability has this Fallen Star Sword gained?"
Su Mu tried to sense it, but still couldn't detect anything, so he asked another question.
Seeing that Su Mu hadn't noticed anything, Yu Guyue shook her head helplessly and began to explain to Su Mu.
"The flying sword is now much more powerful. If you use it to kill an enemy, it will carry a bit of the power of the Jade Spirit Flame. In addition, the Jade Spirit Flame stores a bit of Spiritual Power. If you run out of spiritual Spiritual Power while wielding the flying sword, you can use the Spiritual Power stored within it."
" The Spiritual Power inside is enough to easily outrun a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator. If the Spiritual Power runs out, just replenish it with spirit jade."
Su Mu didn't seem to care much at first, as he didn't know the power of the Jade Spirit Flame. However, his face lit up with joy as he heard the rest.
A flying sword that stores Spiritual Power? That's a real treasure!
In the future, when encountering enemies, you won't have to worry about your Spiritual Power being depleted so quickly when you're running away.
Don't be fooled by Yu Guyue's claim that she can outrun Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators; that's already quite impressive.
If you were to encounter Core Formation Cultivator, the situation would be entirely different.
"Alright, familiarize yourself with the flying sword. I'm going back into the wasteland."
Yu Guyue finished speaking, a faint, milky-white flame appeared on her slender hand.
She has successfully refined the Jade Spirit Flame; now it's time to settle accounts with that Four-Armed Strength Ape.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Guyue vanished instantly.
Just as Su Mu was about to ask a question out of concern, the other party disappeared, seemingly eager to kill the four-armed creature.
Come to the camp.
Not long after Yu Guyue left, Su Mu heard the Princess's voice transmission.
Following the princess's directions, Su Mu arrived at the camp without any obstacles.
"Where is Yu Guyue? Did she go to deal with that Four-Armed Strength Ape?"
Just as she was about to send a telepathic message to Yu Guyue, she sensed that the other party had left the village.
"Um."
Su Mu sat down to the side and nodded gently.
Before the princess was a magnificent sand table map, seemingly reproduced to a certain scale.
Su Mu examined the map closely; it showed the area around the village.
"The army is now fully encamped and ready to expand. Your current strength is neither particularly strong nor weak. I'd like you to gain more experience during this time, and fight more Demon Beast. What do you think?"
The eldest princess looked away from the sand table and then asked.
This time, Su Mu was stranded in the wilderness and almost didn't make it back.
While Su Mu's power has no upper limit once it is unleashed, its lower limit is also extremely low.
If Su Mu gains more experience and engages in more battles with Demon Beast, Su Mu will be better able to protect himself should any unexpected events occur in the future.
It can't be like this time, making her so anxious.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu frowned slightly.
Looking back on the journey back through the wasteland, I didn't dare to test the Demon Beast I encountered; I basically ran away as soon as I saw them.
They fled back in terror.
Thinking of this, Su Mu's brows furrowed even more.
"Good!"
Without much hesitation, Su Mu nodded in agreement.
The eldest princess is right. After this harrowing experience, who knows if there will be a next time?
It's actually safer to train directly now, as it provides more combat experience and a better understanding of these Demon Beast.
So that Su Mu wouldn't be afraid to take action when he saw Demon Beast in the future.
The princess kept her eyes fixed on Su Mu the whole time, and when Su Mu answered, a bright smile immediately appeared on her pretty face.
Those who cultivate immortality will inevitably encounter times when they don't engage in magical battles with others.
If fortuitous opportunity arises and other cultivators happen to witness it, a battle is practically inevitable.
Su Mu had almost no experience in fighting against others.
Su Mu's cultivation is still shallow, so he needs this kind of mindset.
"Places like the Fire Essence Mine and the Spirit Stone Mine have a rich Spiritual Power, attracting many Demon Beast to nest there. Go to these places to train and eliminate these Demon Beast."
The princess lightly tapped the map, revealing the locations of these mineral veins.
Su Mu nodded slightly, and without standing on ceremony with the princess, turned and left.
After Su Mu left for a while, the eldest princess suddenly said, "Go, protect him for a while. As long as his life is not in danger, it doesn't matter if he loses an arm or a leg, or even if his physical body is destroyed. But you must keep his soul intact."
The training must not let him know that he has someone protecting him, otherwise it will be useless. The combat awareness and mentality he has accumulated through training will all collapse the moment he realizes that he has always been protected.
"Yes."
A figure slowly appeared beside the princess, then returned to calm and disappeared into the tent.
As the eldest princess watched her trusted confidante leave, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she murmured to herself.
You mustn't let her make a move.
Su Mu returned to his tent and tidied up his belongings. He didn't have much; he had some pills and only one Law Treasure, a flying sword.
There aren't many Spirit Stone.
Looking at it this way, Su Mu suddenly felt incredibly poor.
Previously, Yu Guyue had also said that if the Spiritual Power of the Jade Spirit Flame inside the flying sword was exhausted, she would ask her to buy spirit jade to feed it.
The problem is, with his current wealth, how could he possibly afford spirit jade?
Fortunately, there are still quite a few spirit medicine left, which should be enough to exchange for some Spirit Stone.
Su Mu scratched his head. After sorting out his assets, he prepared to go out and buy some of the necessary pills before heading to the Fire Essence Mine.
The Spirit Stone mine was quite far away, and Su Mu thought about it and decided that he shouldn't be too ambitious.
