No hope for eternal life

Chapter 148 Muscles become stronger

Mu Qun first glanced at Mu Xun and said calmly: "You are meddling in my affairs."

Mo Lianyue came out from the backyard of the sword-making shop at this time and comforted Mu Xun, saying: "There are some things you don't understand now, but you will understand them naturally in the future."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xun said stubbornly: "I just don't understand. It's been decades since you said anything before. Why are you saying it now?"

Mo Lianyue was not angry after being contradicted, and patiently explained: "You think Mr. Yang is a good person, does that mean he is definitely a good person? Only time can reveal a person's true heart, which is the same as the truth that the truth cannot be spread lightly. Besides, even if Mr. Yang knows that he can still be saved, the hope of saving himself is almost slim. The result may be that he will not be able to help, but will make people resent him instead."

On the other side, Mu Changsheng rushed to Yang Wuque's residence in a hurry. Before Yang Wuque could speak, he said, "Sir, Mu Bo said that your injury can still be cured."

"Huh?" Yang Wuque was a little surprised. His injuries had long been judged incurable by the Lord of the Divine Guard. How did Mu Qunxian know that he could be cured? So he asked in surprise: "What did he say?"

Mu Changsheng immediately repeated Mu Qunxian’s original words, hoping that it would be helpful to Yang Wuque.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Mu Changsheng's story, Yang Wuque calmed down and said, "Put this aside first, and we will continue to fight tonight."

Mu Changsheng was anxious and said quickly: "How can you put it aside? This concerns your life and property."

Yang Wuque chuckled and said, "You only care about the first half. Did you forget the words 'little hope'?"

"Even if there is little hope, you should give it a try." Mu Changsheng advised.

"I will definitely try." Yang Wuque shook his head and said, "The only thing I don't lack now is time. I still have a lot of time, but you don't have much time, so the most urgent thing is for us to feed the moves first."

After saying that, Yang Wuque took the initiative to attack. His palm was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and he attacked Mu Changsheng in an extremely tricky way.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng could only temporarily put aside all distractions and concentrate on dealing with the situation, because if he was not focused for a moment he would be beaten up, and he was extremely experienced in this regard.

At the same time, Yang Wuque once again turned into a master of venomous tongue, mockingly saying: "You are just a small Jindan realm, but you worry about this and that every day. Do you want to be a saint who saves all living beings?"

Mu Changsheng opened his mouth to speak, but was greeted with a loud slap in the face, knocking back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Mu Changsheng was hit so hard that his body was swaying, but he barely held on and did not fall down, and continued to deal with Yang Wuque's attacks.

"I've said a few words to you and you still don't accept it. Don't you know that words can also disturb the enemy's mind during a battle?"

……

A night passed, and Mu Changsheng was beaten all night, but he could hold on until the thirteenth move.

Waking up from the medicine barrel again, Mu Changsheng found that blood and energy were surging throughout his body, which was a sign of a breakthrough in his body refining realm.

"I didn't expect to break through so quickly. To be honest, it's all thanks to your advice, sir. This is one of the benefits of getting beaten. It saved me a lot of time and hard work." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart. Although he was not far from making his muscles bigger, if he practiced step by step, it would probably take several months of hard work to break through.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng concentrated his mind, took a pill to assist his physical body in breaking through, and began his formal breakthrough.

The muscles in the body became tougher under the flushing of blood and qi, and the body-refining true qi continued to circulate and grow in the body.

It was not until several hours later that the quantitative change led to a qualitative change. Mu Changsheng's body shook and he completed this breakthrough.

With Mu Changsheng's breakthrough, the medicinal power in the medicine barrel was completely sucked away.

Mu Changsheng walked out of the medicine barrel, put on his clothes and opened the door. It was almost dusk.

Yang Wuque, who had been waiting outside the door, said: "I won't fight tonight. Go back and consolidate your body. Don't think you can last longer after the breakthrough. Tomorrow night I will use the same strength of muscle enlargement to enlarge the body."

"Yes, sir." Mu Changsheng's face turned bitter. He was still hoping that Yang Wuque could continue to use his previous strength, so that he could withstand more moves.

On the way home, Mu Changsheng saw Mu Qunxian who was about to close his shop. After a slight hesitation, he asked: "Uncle Mu, what exactly is the self-help method you mentioned?"

Mu Changsheng asked this question on behalf of his own Mr. Yang.

Mu Qunxian shook his head slightly upon hearing this, and did not directly answer Mu Changsheng's question: "I said before, the hope of self-rescue is slim. If Yang Wuque doesn't even understand what I mean, it can be said that even the last bit of hope of self-rescue is gone. It's better not to know than to know."

Mu Changsheng had no choice but to give up after hearing this, but judging from Yang Wuque's previous performance, he should understand what Mu Qunxian meant.

After returning home, Mu Changsheng continued to take a medicinal bath to consolidate his newly broken physical body. At the same time, he was also refining spirit stones to increase his magic power. Although he could not break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm due to the Six Nations Trial, it would be good to increase his magic power a little more in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

During the day, Mu Changsheng continued to draw talismans. He bought a total of 500 pieces of raw materials for the Fiery Sun Talisman from the imperial palace treasury. He had consumed more than 300 pieces before, and today he used up all the remaining pieces. In total, he obtained 257 finished Fiery Sun Talismans.

The rest included the raw materials for the Dragon Flame Talisman and the Fire Separation Talisman. Mu Changsheng bought less, only 100 copies of each. After all, when he came to the Six Nations Trial, he was facing opponents who had formed ninth-grade golden elixirs. The Fire Separation Talisman and the Dragon Flame Talisman were no longer of much use, and were used more as tests.

In the end, he obtained eighty-six Lihuo Talismans and seventy-one Longyan Talismans respectively. This shows how much help Mu Changsheng had in refining talismans after he comprehended the meaning of the talismans.

At night, Mu Changsheng came to Yang Wuque's courtyard again. Before the fight, Mu Changsheng told Yang Wuque about the conversation he had with Mu Qunxian yesterday, and asked with concern: "Sir, do you understand the meaning of the words that Mu Bo asked me to bring to you?"

"I understand." Yang Wuque nodded slightly, but did not explain the meaning.

"That's good." Mu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. According to Mu Qunxian's words, he understood the meaning of his words. It was at least the first step to success.

Yang Wuque reminded Mu Changsheng: "You care too much about others. Although this is a good thing, you need to be careful. The ancients once said: If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. You should take care of yourself first."

After saying that, Yang Wuque attacked again. Just as mentioned before, this time he had simultaneously increased his strength to the level of strengthening his bones and muscles. Mu Changsheng hurriedly defended himself.

Perhaps because he had just broken through and had not yet adapted, Mu Changsheng's current performance was worse than before, and he couldn't even last ten moves.

As a result, Mu Changsheng fell down significantly more times tonight, and he could barely hold on until midnight.

Seeing this, Yang Wuque also realized that too much is as bad as too little, so he stopped temporarily, let Mu Changsheng rest for a while, and then began to teach him the experience of talismans.

"Have you ever tried to summon the Dan Fu?" Yang Wuque asked.

"Not yet." Mu Changsheng answered truthfully.

"Then you try it now." Yang Wuque said.

Mu Changsheng was used to Yang Wuque's teaching method, and immediately began to draw the alchemy talisman.

The difficulty of the Dan Talisman is even higher than that of the Lieyang Talisman, so Mu Changsheng did not dare to be careless even if he understood the meaning of the talisman. However, after he picked up the talisman pen and started to draw the talisman, he frowned.
