"You all look the same..."

"Appearance? Do you think that's convincing?"

As Xu Mu spoke, he used an illusion array to change his appearance, making him look like a middle-aged man.

Upon seeing this, Song Nuanyang was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"Brother-in-law! What kind of move is that? Teach me!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Yu quickly grabbed Xu Mu's arm and shook it.

"I want to know what the other person did to you? Perhaps I can help identify who it was?"

Xu Mu looked at Song Nuanyang and asked.

“He… come with me, let’s talk privately.”

Song Nuanyang still didn't want Ye Yu and Bai Yi to hear about this.

Xu Mu nodded and then went with Song Nuanyang to a bedroom on the first floor.

"sit."

Xu Mu pointed to the chair next to him.

But Song Nuanyang did not sit down. Instead, she asked directly, "The other party claims to be from the Jiuli tribe, can use Gu worms, and has mastered the Jiuli tribe's Heaven-level cultivation technique. Do you know who he is?"

"I think I know."

Xu Mu nodded.

"who?"

Song Nuanyang asked sternly.

Xu Mu pointed to himself, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's me."

"Damn it..."

"Sister, Elder Song, senior, please give me some face."

Xu Mu immediately went to Song Nuanyang and said, "Don't let Ye Yu know. It's not good for either of us. Think about it carefully. I really didn't mean any harm!"

"No! I can't stand it!"

Song Nuanyang clenched her fists, her eyes reddening. She couldn't accept being... you know... by a disgusting man she'd never even met.

"Even if you are Ye Yu's brother-in-law, I will never forgive you!"

"You are currently at the Grandmaster level, just one step away from entering the Transcendent Realm. I can help you enter the Transcendent Realm."

Xu Mu stood with his hands behind his back. "Of course, the premise is that you can't play tricks on Ye Yu."

"What did you say? You can help me enter the Transcendent Realm?"

Song Nuanyang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"To be honest, I know a little about alchemy."

Xu Mu opened his storage space, took out his alchemy furnace, and casually grabbed a handful of Qi Sea Pills. "The healing pills that Ye Yu took earlier were the ones I refined."

Song Nuanyang stared at the blue pill in Xu Mu's hand. "Is that a Grade 7 Qi Sea Pill?"

"That's right. However, even dozens of these pills won't be enough to help you enter the Transcendent Realm. Entering the Transcendent Realm requires the right medicine for the right condition."

Xu Mu took out a red date that emitted a faint red glow from his storage space. "You should have a fire attribute body, right?"

"What you have in your hand is an eighth-grade rare and precious material, a fire date?"

Song Nuanyang was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

“That’s right. As long as you have some talent, this fire date, after being refined by me, will be enough to help you enter the Transcendent Realm.”

Xu Mu said calmly.

"Since you're an alchemist, you're most likely to have a fire-attribute body, right?"

Song Nuanyang suddenly asked.

Xu Mu nodded, "That's right."

"You are not at the Transcendent Realm either. Are you really willing to give me this Grade 8 Heavenly Treasure?"

Song Nuanyang could hardly believe it.

Fire dates are something that can only be found by chance; she had been searching for them for countless years without ever seeing one.

Xu Mu smiled. The purpose of the fire dates was to improve one's cultivation level and enter the Transcendent Realm.

But he himself doesn't need that; he only needs experience points to advance.

"I'm willing, but you'll have to pay the corresponding price."

Xu Mu smiled and shrugged. "You know better than I how big the gap is between a Grandmaster and a Transcendent."

What do you want?

Song Nuanyang asked in a deep voice, knowing all too well how much improvement one could achieve by reaching the Transcendent Realm.

Even if it meant giving her body to Xu Mu for this, she would think it over carefully.

"What ambitions can a man have? To put it bluntly, it boils down to one sentence."

Xu Mu paused for a moment and said, "One hand on the mountain, one hand on the river, eating jujubes with steamed buns, a beautiful confidante reciting poems about geese."
