#182 - Oh, man - Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

After Huangsha Zhenjun was killed by Xu Ming, Xu Ming stayed in Shijia Village for three days.

Firstly, the palace of this Huangsha Zhenjun really had a lot of stuff.

Inside were all kinds of jewelry, gold nuggets, and some pills and array diagrams. Anyway, whether they were useful or useless, they were all collected by this Huangsha Zhenjun.

Xu Ming only collected some things that he thought were useful. As for the other things, Xu Ming didn't waste them. Xu Ming asked Yuan Yu to move all these things to the Baiwa Secret Realm.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

What if there are some "heavenly book fragments" among these "broken copper and scrap iron" collected by Huangsha Zhenjun?

Secondly, Xu Ming needed to recuperate and restore his strength.

After all, Xu Ming didn't kill Huangsha Zhenjun without taking any damage. He suffered considerable injuries himself.

In any case, he had to recover seventy to eighty percent of his combat power before going out and hitting the road.

Otherwise, if he was ambushed, then the loot he had been collecting these days would really be making wedding clothes for others.

During these three days, Xu Ming would play with Mo Zhu'er and candles for a while every day.

However, Mo Zhu'er refused to reveal the method to resolve the martial artist's true energy and spiritual power within Xu Ming's body.

Xu Ming negotiated terms with her.

Mo Zhu'er said that if he released her, she would tell him everything. If Xu Ming didn't believe her, she could swear an oath herself.

However, oaths are as heavy as gold for those who keep their promises.

But for a shameless妖 woman like Mo Zhu'er, it's lighter than a goose feather.

Therefore, Xu Ming also said that he could swear that if Mo Zhu'er revealed the solution to the true energy and spiritual power problem, as long as it was somewhat useful, he would let her go.

But the problem was that Mo Zhu'er didn't believe him either.

So the two fell into a state of mutual suspicion.

Xu Ming couldn't do anything about it.

Xu Ming said that he would give Mo Zhu'er a maximum of twenty days to consider.

Once the twenty days were up, if she still didn't speak, he would send her head back to the Black Lotus Sect in the Western Regions.

Xu Ming didn't kill her immediately, but gave her twenty days, entirely to torment her.

If a person dies suddenly, there won't be any pain.

But when a person knows their death date, especially when the death date is getting closer and closer, that kind of torment is not something ordinary people can bear.

Xu Ming wanted to see if Mo Zhu'er could endure it.

"Brother Xu, are you leaving?"

On the day of departure, Luo Xiaoman walked up to Xu Ming, reluctantly pulling on the corner of Xu Ming's clothes.

"Yes, Brother Xu is leaving."

Xu Ming squatted down and gently touched her little head, "Xiaoman, you have to be good in the future and listen to your mother, understand?"

Luo Xiaoman nodded seriously: "I will definitely listen to my mother, but Brother Xu, will I be able to see you again?"

"Probably."

Xu Ming smiled, "When Xiaoman grows up healthy and safe, you can see Brother Xu."

"Really?"

Luo Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

"Really."

Xu Ming nodded.

"Heh, men, liars."

Mo Zhu'er complained from the side. Anyone could see that Xu Ming was deliberately coaxing the little girl when he said that.

Hearing Mo Zhu'er's words, Xu Ming took out a candle from his arms, and Mo Zhu'er's face turned slightly pale, and she immediately shut up.

"By the way, the books that Brother Xu gave you, practice slowly, don't rush, those books can't be seen by others."

In the past few days, Xu Ming discovered that Luo Xiaoman actually had spiritual veins. Although it wasn't considered very outstanding, it wouldn't be a problem to enter an ordinary sect.

So Xu Ming gave her some basic books on cultivation. As for how much she could learn, it would depend on herself.

"Yes."

Luo Xiaoman nodded, "Brother Xu, I know."

"Okay."

Xu Ming stood up, bowed to Luo Sanniang, "Madam, then we will leave now. If anything happens in the future, you can write a letter to the Xu State Mansion, to a person named Xu Pangda. As long as you say my name, he should be able to help you."

"Thank you, benefactor! Sanniang has no way to repay the benefactor's kindness."

Luo Sanniang knelt down in salute.

"Sanniang, you're too polite."

Xu Ming hurriedly helped Sanniang up, "Sanniang and Xiaoman, take care."

Luo Sanniang and Luo Xiaoman saw Xu Ming out of the courtyard, and then out of the village. The village chief led the villagers to see him off at the entrance of the village.

After leaving Luo Family Village, Xu Ming continued to head to Tianxuan Sect.

Yuan Yu said that she wanted to see the outside world and look for opportunities related to Taotie.

"Taotie's opportunity? Do you have any clues?"

Xu Ming asked.

Yuan Yu smiled: "That old monk once told me that, according to rumors, there is a wasteland in the southwest called Dead Ash Valley, where an ancient Taotie was buried."

"Do you know Dead Ash Valley?"

Xu Ming asked the tied-up Mo Zhu'er.

"I don't know."

Mo Zhu'er said, afraid that Xu Ming wouldn't believe her, Mo Zhu'er added, "I know White Ash Valley in the Western Regions, and Ten Thousand Bone Cave in Qi State, but I really don't know about Dead Ash Valley."

Xu Ming glanced at Mo Zhu'er and didn't ask any more questions.

"Then be careful. I will also help you inquire about where this Dead Ash Valley is. If you really can't find it, you can return to the Baiwa Secret Realm. If I have any news, I will write it on a piece of paper and put it in your temple."

Xu Ming said.

"Thank you, Master."

Yuan Yu looked very moved, "Master, please take care. Although this woman is beautiful and extraordinary, this妖 woman is cunning and like poison. If she is useless, it's better to kill her as soon as possible, lest problems arise later."

"Hey! Fatty! You encouraged him to kill me, so you just encouraged him. Can't you say it behind my back? Can you give me some respect!"

Mo Zhu'er complained.

After Xu Ming's candle sessions these past few days, Mo Zhu'er no longer had that pretentious and charming appearance. Now she was showing her true colors, saying what she had to say and cursing when she had something to say.

"Don't worry, I know, I have a sense of proportion."

Xu Ming nodded.

Since the master had said so, Yuan Yu didn't say anything more, but gave a deep salute, turned around and left to find her own opportunity.

"Let's go too. I'll take you to see a beautiful big sister."

Xu Ming gently scratched Shengsheng's nose.

"Oh woo ~"

Shensheng happily nodded, holding Xu Ming's big hand.

Xu Ming held Shengsheng's little hand in one hand, and held the rope tying Mo Zhu'er in the other, walking towards the direction of Tianxuan Sect.

Looking at Xu Ming beside her, Mo Zhu'er's eyes wandered, not knowing what strange idea popped up.

"Young Master Xu."

Mo Zhu'er said charmingly.

"What?"
