Chapter 159: Sometimes It’s Really Speechless

“Miss Mengyu! You’re here!”

Lu Shuanger said happily.

Seeing Qin Mu now full of vitality, Lu Shuanger exclaimed in surprise,

“Eh? Qin Mu, are you an unkillable cockroach? Such heavy injuries healed so quickly!”

What kind of talk! What cockroach!

If it weren’t for all the Golden Core Realm imperial guards around, Qin Mu would have shot back.

Right now, though, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

“I’d call it heaven helps the good. If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense.”

Hearing this, Lu Shuanger pouted in displeasure.

“Hmph! I even stood in front of you back then, and you’ve already forgotten it.”

With that tone and expression, Qin Mu’s eyes went wide.

‘Whoa, hold up!’

He subconsciously glanced at his two sisters’ expressions.

Fortunately, they didn’t seem particularly affected.

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, yes. Back then, Miss Shuanger stood in front of me, and I was truly moved!”

Qin Mu meant to express gratitude, but the words came out sounding… reluctant.

Lu Shuanger curled her lip.

‘What a waste of my kindness, standing in front of him like that.’

“Little sister Shuanger, where is your master?”

Qin Mengyu asked.

After all, coming here was mainly to see the High Priest of the Gu tribe.

Lu Shuanger sighed.

“Master is in closed cultivation right now. He left a letter saying he had some insights. As for when he’ll emerge—I’m not sure. It could be tomorrow, or it could be next year.”

Lu Shuanger’s master, the High Priest of the Gu tribe, was not only extremely powerful but also studied celestial phenomena and understood a bit about divination.

In the past, the master often had sudden insights, and his closed cultivation sessions ranged from half a day at the shortest to two and a half years at the longest.

“Ah! The latest is next year?”

Qin Mu didn’t really want to stay here.

Gu insects were everywhere—just looking at them made him uncomfortable.

And with his Conan-like physique, if he stayed too long in an unfamiliar place, something was bound to happen.

This was a pattern Qin Mu had summarized.

He called it—‘On the Law of Similar Physiques Between Me, Qin Mu, and That Certain Ke.’

“In that case, let’s stay for now. We’ll see how things go.”

Qin Mengyu suggested.

There was no way to force Lu Shuanger’s master out of seclusion unless it was an urgent crisis.

“Okay.”

Qin Ruoshuang agreed.

For her, location didn’t matter, as long as Mu’er was there.

Now that both Sister Ruoshuang and Sister Mengyu had agreed, what could Qin Mu say?

He had no choice but to agree.

Hearing that Sister Mengyu was staying, Lu Shuanger was delighted.

In the village, apart from her master, everyone else came with impure motives.

She disliked that.

But Qin Mengyu was like a gentle older sister, giving Lu Shuanger a rare feeling of happiness and ease.

“Then, Sister Mengyu, I’ll arrange the rooms for you!”

Considering that Sister Mengyu would surely stay with Qin Mu, Lu Shuanger specially picked an ultra-luxurious large room.

Seeing the room, Qin Mu’s eyes lit up.

‘Not bad! This is way better than the place Elder Luoye put me up in.’

He quickly made his way to the big bed—big enough for five or six people to lie down without crowding—and sat down to test its softness.

Qin Mu’s requirements for sleep weren’t high: as long as it was comfortable, and the room was clean.

“What do you think, Sister Mengyu?”

“It’s fine.”

Qin Mengyu looked at Mu’er; Lu Shuanger looked at Sister Mengyu.

Indeed, although Lu Shuanger’s relationship with Sister Mengyu had grown close through recent interactions, compared to Qin Mu, Sister Mengyu’s younger brother, it still fell short.

‘I don’t know how Qin Mu got so lucky, having two such stunning sisters.’

“Oh, right.”

Lu Shuanger seemed to remember something.

She clapped her hands and said,

“Sister Mengyu, tonight is our village’s celebration. Do you want to come see it?”

Qin Mengyu nodded.

“Sure, we don’t have anything important to do.”

“Great! Here, this is a flight token. Take it, Sister Mengyu! With this, you can fly within the city!”

Lu Shuanger took out the flight token and handed it to Qin Mengyu.

After accepting the token, Qin Mengyu continued chatting with Lu Shuanger, while Qin Ruoshuang sat off to one side.

Qin Mu wasn’t idle either.

He took out the golden crystal the youth had given him and contacted Senior Divine Dragon.

“Senior Divine Dragon, I got the item. What’s the use of this thing?”

The liquid inside the crystal was still flowing.

Qin Mu picked it up and shook it—no foam formed, though the color did look a bit like something burning.

“Human boy, let me tell you. I never expected that something like this would still remain in the world.”

“This is the legendary Water of All Origins. Except for us primordial beings, all post-natal beings in this world originated from this water.”

“What! This thing has such a great origin!”

Qin Mu’s young heart was greatly shaken.

‘If that’s the case, didn’t I just pick up an incredibly huge bargain!’

“Ahem, boy, don’t get so excited. Although this is the Water of All Origins, its purity is impure—too many impurities. Fortunately, it’s sealed in this crystal; otherwise, it would have lost all its spirituality long ago.”

“Ah? So you’re saying this thing isn’t very useful anymore?”

Qin Mu’s enthusiasm waned.

He thought he had obtained an incredible treasure.

“Boy, don’t be so disappointed. Even though the spirituality is insufficient, it still retains twenty to thirty percent. That’s already very good. The remaining spirituality has been passed down at least from the Ancient Era. If it were over fifty percent, it would be from the Ancient Era at a minimum. But things from the Ancient Era are almost extinct; there are still a few from the Ancient Era.”

Qin Mu looked at the crystal in his hand while listening to Senior Divine Dragon’s lengthy explanation.

“Senior Divine Dragon, you’ve said a lot, but what use does this thing actually have for me? If it were that good, why would that guy have handed it over as compensation?”

Such a precious gem, given away just like that—that guy must have had his head kicked by a donkey.

“Heh, boy, you don’t understand. The crystal on the outside of this item can withstand attacks from the Tribulation Stage. After all, what’s inside is too precious. And the ancient manual on how to use it is probably lost. Otherwise, that guy wouldn’t have taken it out.”

“As for its function? I don’t know about others, but for us, it’s a major tonic. If you refine it, you might be able to take a leap and merge seventy percent of my power, skyrocketing straight to the Heavenly Unity Stage.”

Heavenly Unity Stage!

‘Holy cow, even a calf riding a rocket couldn’t be this impressive!’

“Senior Divine Dragon, what are we waiting for? Let’s refine it now!”

Qin Mu couldn’t wait.

From now on, walking like the wind and showing off—cough—taking on the task of displaying his power would fall on his shoulders!

“Hey, boy, what’s your rush? This crystal can withstand Tribulation Stage attacks. If you want to open it, you first need to reach at least the Heavenly Unity Stage. Then, with the help of my power, you’ll have a fifty percent chance of opening it.”

Qin Mu: “…”
