Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about a hundred miles from Nanyun Prefecture city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu changed his clothes, wore his human-skin mask, and rode his horse hard, arriving at Willow Town near the villa by noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking around in the town, he found out the location of the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he used the light martial art \"Grass-Skipping\" to take the mountain road and rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at the villa, the constables of Ning County had already collected the corpses one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the villa was filled with nearby villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of people were peeking in with fear and curiosity, looking at the corpses lying on the ground of the villa’s square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too miserable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, I wonder who did this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Madam was such a good person, yet she was killed too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The murderer is simply worse than a beast, not even sparing the young villa master’s five-year-old daughter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd discussed in low voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu stood at the back and listened for a while, then circled to the side and approached the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Corpse found, do you want to loot?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Corpse found, do you want to loot?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Card after card was obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu didn't enter the villa gate, just circled the courtyard wall and walked for a while, looting 137 cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't stay long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu left the villa and returned to Willow Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he checked the cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, six Powerful Cards, twenty-eight Internal Energy Cards, two Experience Cards, five Cultivation Cards, and one Martial Arts Performance Card!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Memory Card!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Equipment Cards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Skill Cards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were either Energy Cards or Stamina Cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five Cultivation Cards had time limits of one year, two years, two and a half years, three years, and one year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu looked around to make sure no one was there, used these five Cultivation Cards in turn to practice the \"Cloud-Swinging Sword Art,\" and finally raised this sword technique to the realm of perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also at this moment that Chen Mu understood why the last sword of the \"Cloud-Swinging Sword Art,\" the tenth sword, was so difficult to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the \"Tenth Cloud-Swinging Sword\" touched the level of Sword Intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Intent, Blade Intent, Spear Intent belonged to the power of spirit and artistic conception; below the Innate realm, very few people could give birth to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tenth sword of the \"Cloud-Swinging Sword Art\" only touched upon it simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Chen Mu had forcibly touched this power through the Cultivation Cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was only an initial contact, it was an extra trump card!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Experience Cards were still combat experience, but one of them was combat experience for one-on-many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu used them one after another to strengthen his combat-oriented experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the two Equipment Cards, one sealed a pill recipe, and the other sealed a willow leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu didn't unseal them and put them away for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Skill Cards recorded three martial arts, one of which was the martial skill \"Dragon-Shattering Palm,\" at the realm of mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This palm technique was hard and fierce, attacking without defending, and could be called domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second was also a martial skill, \"Dragon-Capturing Hand,\" for capturing and binding others, and could also grab from a distance, at the realm of entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third was an internal cultivation method, \"Earth Dragon Strength,\" recording seven levels, which could be practiced to the Acquired Seventh Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu didn't need it for now and put this card away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon-Capturing Hand\" and \"Dragon-Shattering Palm\" were used one after another, and within a few breaths, he learned two martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty-eight Internal Energy Cards, the one with the least internal energy cultivation, also had half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the most cultivation was four and a half months!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a bit unkind, this harvest could be said to be Chen Mu’s biggest one yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-eight Internal Energy Cards, the accumulated internal energy cultivation exceeded three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could impact the Acquired Eighth Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to Willow Town, he retrieved his stored horse and rode hard, rushing back to Nanyun Prefecture city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home, he went straight into his room, closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out all the accumulated Internal Energy Cards, and used them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave after wave of energy immediately pushed the \"Cloud-Rolling Technique\" to run, increasing his cultivation and impacting the Acquired Eighth Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This impact lasted for more than half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When only three cards were left, his whole body suddenly shook, and the pores that had opened suddenly closed, then opened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his dantian, internal energy swirled, alternating back and forth, wandering through the meridians of his whole body, circulating with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~ bang~ bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heartbeat was like thunder, resounding in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist rising above his head, accompanied by the sound of his heartbeat, slowly formed a vortex like the internal energy in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internal and external circulation, power enough to carry a tripod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquired Eighth Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breakthrough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, calming his boiling Qi and blood, Chen Mu opened his eyes and spat out an arrow of air, which shot out seven or eight meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquired Eighth Stage, his body and internal energy had all doubled on the basis of the Acquired Seventh Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body that Chen Mu had transformed using the Body Strengthening Card earlier was now further strengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pure strength already exceeded ten thousand jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, this is the power of the Acquired Perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu was only at the Acquired Eighth Stage at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the defensive power of his physique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu took out his long sword and used the sharp blade to scratch his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a drop of blood came out, the skin wasn't even broken, only a shallow white mark remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Chen Mu’s gaze, this white mark disappeared within three breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard-training, Tripod Body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard-training martial artists have a clear level division, using the tripod as a unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Tripod Body can be impervious to swords and spears, water and fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharp weapons made of fine steel cannot break the defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten thousand jin of power, hard-resisting the Innate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard-training martial artists, as long as they practice to the Tripod Body, can hard-resist the Innate realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu used a lot of Powerful Cards, one Body Strengthening Card, and combined with the breakthrough of his realm, he actually achieved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unexpected joy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu exhaled, calming his heart and mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while, he took out the Martial Arts Performance Card, used it, and deduced the follow-up of the \"Cloud-Rolling Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum hum~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about the \"Cloud-Rolling Technique\" in his mind was repeatedly presented, connected back and forth, and continuously deduced until it was perfected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it stopped, the ninth level of the \"Cloud-Rolling Technique\" was successfully obtained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, the path before the Innate realm was stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he slowly withdrew his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu took out the Memory Card and silently used it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a large amount of memory from a man named Yu San flooded into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu San, a guard in Red Willow Villa, whose father and son were both guards for two generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Willow Villa was the number one force in Ning County, and looking at Nanyun Prefecture, its fame was not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villa master had the cultivation of the Acquired Perfection, had many friends, and had relationships with all major forces in Nanyun Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a background, guards like Yu San lived very comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until yesterday, people from the Guo family entered the villa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the Guo family suddenly attacked, attacking the villa from inside and outside, and even had Innate martial artists strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only took a quarter of an hour to slaughter everyone in the villa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last image before Yu San died was the young master of the Guo family, Guo Jinquan, cutting off the head of the little miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guo family……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mu exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murderer who slaughtered more than a hundred people in Red Willow Villa was actually the Guo family! \u003C\u002Fp>",1407,"2026-06-18T00:46:08.476Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
