Chapter 77: Sister-in-law, leave the door open for me tonight

【Your friend Zhu Hao has died. As a friend, you may randomly inherit any one of the three portions of Zhu Hao's estate.】

Inheritance One: 【Red Inheritance·Black Water Blade Technique first three layers (Grade 9)】 Inheritance carries great risk, for the Black Water Blade Technique is a mandatory martial art of the Imperial Golden Scale Guard; ordinary people who privately practice it, once discovered, will surely suffer imperial pursuit!

Inheritance Two: 【Gray Inheritance·Zhu Hao's private savings (silver two thousand taels)】 Inheritance risk is relatively low; as a member of the Golden Scale Guard, Zhu Hao's monthly stipend is not low, having saved for several years, he already has two thousand taels of silver.

Inheritance Three: 【White Inheritance·Strength attribute 60 points】 Inheritance carries no risk, but requires touching Zhu Hao's corpse.

After the light curtain displayed Zhu Hao's death notice, it consecutively popped up five messages.

【Your friend Zhao Kai has already died……】

【Your friend Kong Xiang has already died……】

……

Including Zhu Hao, a total of six people have died this time; these six are precisely the "friends" that Fang Xu just added a few days ago, all six being Golden Scale Guards.

Seeing these, Fang Xu furrowed his brows tightly.

According to what Yun Qing previously said, he and Li Xun have already been driven back to Zhongzhou by Li Xingchao; calculating the time, they have probably covered half the journey—could Li Xun have encountered an attack on the way?

Glancing at Li Xun's name in the list, Fang Xu horrifiedly discovered that Li Xun's vitality had actually dropped to 20%!

But just then, the vitality displayed after Li Xun's name jumped, rising from 20% to 22%!

Afterwards, 25%……27%……30%……

In a short while, it actually became 55%!

This strange situation made Fang Xu somewhat curious; Li Xun's vitality is the most bizarre he has ever seen.

Since the system awakened, the vitality of everyone in the friend list only decreases and never increases; once it drops to "0", the person dies.

But Li Xun's vitality is like a stock market index—after hitting bottom it rebounds, always staying above 50%!

Besides him, the three Mu Xuan of the Ascension Immortal Society are the same, only their vitality is not as bizarre as Li Xun's.

Although it occasionally rises a bit, overall it has already dropped by about 8%.

After Li Xun's vitality rose to 55% and then stopped moving, Fang Xu knew that this attack probably killed some Golden Scale Guards, but Li Xun himself should be fine.

First, let's inherit these people's legacies.

Setting aside Li Xun's encounter with attack, Fang Xu selected the inheritances of the six Golden Scale Guards one by one.

Among the six people's legacies, all have the Black Water Blade Technique inheritance; obviously, as Golden Scale Guards they all cultivate this blade technique.

Unlike martial techniques and elixirs, they are graded from low to high as ninth grade……eighth grade……seventh grade……

The Nine Ape Staff Technique I cultivate is an eighth-grade staff martial art; according to Lu Zhiyuan, an eighth-grade martial art's value is comparable to a thousand gold, so the value of the ninth-grade Black Water Blade Technique is estimated to be at least a hundred gold or more.

However, this is exclusive to the Golden Scale Guards; I dare not have designs on this martial art.

After the six people's legacies were inherited one by one, two were the Black Water Blade Technique, while the remaining four coincidentally all were strength attribute points.

The four together total 300 points of strength.

After the legacies were confirmed, six scarlet arrows appeared on the light curtain, and the directions they pointed were all the same.

"Alas!"

Looking at the direction the arrows pointed, it was exactly the direction of Zhongzhou; Fang Xu felt somewhat helpless.

Judging by the travel speed of Li Xun and the others, after five or six days they would at least have reached Huangzhou; for three hundred points of strength attribute, do I really have to personally make a trip to Huangzhou?

Forget it; I can only set it aside for now, and I don't know whether this legacy inheritance has a time limit.

Having been interrupted in my cultivation by the six deaths, Fang Xu glanced at the slanting golden crow outside the house, then slowly got down from the bed.

Li Xun left, Yun Qing also left, and the days seemed to return to tranquility.

At present, the only thing I need to worry about is the year-end assessment of the Ascension Immortal Society, and another matter is Chu Mu's physical recovery.

Walking slowly to the courtyard, I saw Chu Mu leaning on a wheelchair, standing in the courtyard gazing at the horizon's glow in a daze.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Chu Mu's somewhat delicate figure seemed to be veiled in a layer of golden gauze, pure as an immortal, making one dare not defile.

"Mu." Fang Xu called out, then walked over slowly.

Chu Mu slowly turned around, about to speak, but felt her legs go weak and was about to fall.

Fang Xu flicked his figure and barely managed to support her.

"How long have you been standing today?" Supporting Chu Mu to sit in the wheelchair, Fang Xu spoke gently.

Chu Mu raised her head, smiling, and said: "A quarter of an hour."

"But I still can't move my legs, unable to walk." Saying this, she lowered her head somewhat unhappily.

Fang Xu rubbed her head and said: "Don't be upset, you've already improved a lot; don't rush, take it slow."

Chu Mu nodded, then raised her head and said: "Brother, I've finished reading the hand-copied manuscript you gave me."

Hand-copied manuscript?

Fang Xu froze for a moment, thinking that the hand-copied manuscript Chu Mu mentioned was the Dao of Alchemy inheritance obtained from Wu Huan.

"How does it feel?" he hurriedly asked.

Chu Mu pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said: "Perhaps it's not difficult; reading it through once yields many insights, but I cannot verify it hands-on; specifics will have to wait until I fire the furnace and refine pills to know."

Hearing this, Fang Xu's expression turned somewhat strange.

If Wu Huan were still alive, hearing this would probably make him vomit blood from anger.

He had studied the hand-copied manuscript for a whole sixty-year cycle, grasping at most half of it; Chu Mu, after only a few days, reading it through once already gained many insights.

Indeed, people cannot be compared.

Chu Mu is an Elixir Fragrance Sacred Body, born a natural talent for alchemy.

Moreover, Fang Xu vaguely felt that Chu Mu's comprehension was also high; at least the Flame Spirit True Explanation stone tablet—I had looked at it for several days with no clue, while Chu Mu, in just an hour, could transcribe the entire Flame Spirit True Explanation recorded on the tablet.

Thinking of the Flame Spirit True Explanation, Fang Xu suddenly recalled what Lu Zhiyuan had said before: high-level alchemists need to cultivate fire-type techniques, then use martial fire to refine pills.

"Mu, do you still remember the Flame Spirit True Explanation?" Fang Xu suddenly spoke.

Chu Mu nodded and said: "I have a slight impression; Brother, do you want me to cultivate the Flame Spirit True Explanation?"

Having read the hand-copied manuscript of the Pill Dao inheritance, she also knew that a pill master should ideally cultivate fire-element techniques, as this would greatly aid her future alchemy.

Hmm.

Just familiarize yourself for these two days; start cultivating once your body has fully recovered.

The Flame Spirit True Explanation helps Chu Mu, which also helps me; letting her cultivate it is no big deal.

"Thank you, big brother; Mu has been wanting to ask you something." Chu Mu said happily.

She knows the Flame Spirit True Explanation is important to her, but it belongs to Fang Xu; without his permission, Chu Mu will never casually cultivate it.

"Silly girl, why be so formal?" Fang Xu rubbed his head, then looking at the sky said: "I'm going out for a bit; I'll be back soon."

Leaving the Hall of Attaining Far, Fang Xu went to the Wang Clan's residence.

The Blood Food Stall had shut down; the Wang Clan lost their job and thus their income.

Recently, Li Xun, Yun Qing, and others were in Maple Forest Town; Fang Xu couldn't spare the time to visit her, but now he wants to go see if the Wang Clan still needs anything.

We can't just let her become so impoverished she has no rice to cook.

He left several taels of silver for the Wang Clan, and told her that if she needed anything, she could freely pick vegetables from his household's small garden. As Fang Xu was about to leave, the Wang Clan quietly tugged his sleeve and said in a coquettish voice: 'I've recently felt much stronger; I can certainly satisfy Young Master Fang.'

Fang Xu felt a rush of heat, rubbed his nose and chuckled: 'Then, sister-in-law, leave the gate open for me tonight.'

The Wang Clan blushed, nodded, and watched Fang Xu depart.

Leaving the Wang Clan's residence, Fang Xu was about to return to the Hall of Attaining Far when he felt a tremor deep in his sea of consciousness from the virtual panel.

He immediately sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness and discovered, to his astonishment, that the arrow pointing to the legacy of Zhu Hao and six people was actually flickering faintly!
