Chapter 393: Chapter 392: Ten Thousand Years Lingzhi (Part 2)

"I was able to break through largely because of a certain item. Since you saved my life, I’m willing to give it to you. However, I’ve already consumed two-thirds of it, only one-third remains."

"What is it?" Mu Chen was genuinely very curious.

"Follow me and you’ll see," Granny Jiuhua said as she touched a vase inside the room. A secret door suddenly opened.

Mu Chen was somewhat shocked; secret doors typically concealed extremely precious items. But without overthinking it, he followed her in. Liu Yuxi was also very curious, immediately stepping forward to latch onto Mu Chen’s arm, not wanting to leave his side.

Entering the secret door, Mu Chen saw candles lit all around, and there was a very long passage.

"Is this your wife?" Granny Jiuhua suddenly asked.

"Yes."

"Granny Jiuhua, how do you do," Liu Yuxi said politely.

"Hello, you have a good eye. This man is indeed worth your lifelong commitment," Granny Jiuhua said earnestly.

Liu Yuxi smiled but said nothing, not knowing how to respond.

"You flatter us, Granny Jiuhua," Mu Chen replied with a smile.

"Ah, I really envy you young people."

"Granny Jiuhua, you’re young too!"

"I’m old, where is the youth?"

"Granny Jiuhua, you indeed look younger. If you don’t believe it, take a look in the mirror when we go out, and you’ll see."

"Are you sure you’re not deceiving me?" Granny Jiuhua asked earnestly.

"I’m not."

"Ha ha, it seems to be the effect of breaking through the Realm."

...

After walking another seven or eight meters, they came to a room with nothing but a huge stone inside. On top of the stone was a Lingzhi mushroom. It looked quite strange because two-thirds of it was gone, leaving only a palm-sized piece glowing and pulsating with tremendous energy.

"Holy crap, this can’t be the Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi, can it? Something so rare you can hardly find it. No, actually, it’s something that shouldn’t even exist," Mu Chen exclaimed in shock.

Liu Yuxi was equally astonished. A thousand-year Lingzhi was already incredibly precious; the ten-thousand-year version was unimaginable.

"You have good knowledge. Indeed, this is the Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi, which has extended my life and allowed me to successfully break through the Realm," Granny Jiuhua said seriously.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me, Granny Jiuhua?" asked Mu Chen, excited at the prospect of a breakthrough in the Realm and the hope of his companions becoming stronger.

"Yes, you saved my life, so I’m giving it to you."

"Then I won’t be polite." Mu Chen said and immediately stored it in his clothes.

"Young man, this Lingzhi contains terrifying energy. Don’t eat it directly; you need to slowly refine it."

"Understood, Granny Jiuhua."

"Now that you’ve obtained it, I won’t see you out, as I’m going to go into seclusion and cultivate."

"Granny Jiuhua, after looking at your injuries and vitality, it seems that you have been left with these after a great battle, right?" Mu Chen asked out of curiosity.

"That’s correct."

"Granny Jiuhua, you’re quite powerful. If you truly seek vengeance, I might be able to help," Mu Chen said earnestly.

"You’re only at the Legendary Realm. Even if you have the Lingzhi, at most you can reach the Mythical Realm. How could you help me with my revenge?"

"I can’t by myself, but that doesn’t mean others can’t."

"Are you serious?" Granny Jiuhua asked, her expression changing.

"Of course, I am."

"What price do you want me to pay?"

"Follow me."

"I will not go against anything, I agree. However, I don’t know where that person is. Once I find him, I will inform you."

"No rush, I have plenty of time."

"Thank you, Mu Chen."

"Don’t thank me, I always believe in mutual benefit."

"You really are a mysterious man."

Mu Chen just smiled without speaking, and then he promptly took Liu Yuxi out of the secret chamber.

At this moment, Liu Yuxi looked at Mu Chen, filled with curiosity. She had thought Mu Chen knew about the Venerable; unexpectedly, Mu Chen just said he could help the Venerable get revenge, which implied that Mu Chen possessed the power of a Venerable.

"Wife, you really look like a block of wood right now," Mu Chen said with a smile.

Being addressed like that by Mu Chen, Liu Yuxi snapped back to her senses and immediately asked, "Mu Chen, who exactly are you?"

"Silly girl, I’m your husband."

"I’m talking about your identity. Why do I feel like you’re a bottomless hole?"

"Wife, I really am a bottomless hole; it’s better that you don’t know," Mu Chen said earnestly. He had always hoped that Liu Yuxi would not get involved with these people. Mu Chen only wished Liu Yuxi knew nothing and that her strength would keep growing more and more, just being able to protect herself was enough.

"I..."

"Alright, my wife, I’ll take you out for fun in a bit."

"Okay!" Seeing Mu Chen did not want to talk, Liu Yuxi did not press further.

However, outside the yard, Xue San, Great Deacon, and Second Deacon were very shocked. They were certain that someone had just broken through to the Venerable level, with unfathomable strength. Still, it was strange that none of them knew who had achieved such a terrifying breakthrough.

Next up, Sawtooth packed everything and carried a backpack; he had nothing else.

"Sawtooth, you didn’t just pack clothes, did you?" Mu Chen asked, as it seemed awkward to him for such a large man to be carrying just a backpack.

"Yes!"

"Go put it away then! Just follow me when we leave. As for clothes, I’ll buy you some when we get there."

"Alright! But I don’t have any money, all my money...I gave it to the children," Sawtooth said with a smile.

"Kids? What’s the story?" Mu Chen asked.

"There’s an orphanage nearby. It’s where I grew up. Later, my mom adopted me and raised me. Mom and the orphanage have been kind to me, so I skimp and save, giving all my money to them."

"It’s commendable that you’re so filial. Here’s a million for you, the PIN is my wife’s birthday 901002, take it! After all, even as my subordinate, you should get paid."

"A million, Boss, are you sure you’re giving this to me?" Sawtooth was shocked, never having seen such a huge sum of money before.

"Go on! Settle everything, talk to your mom or whatever. Three hours later, wait for me at the entrance of the Black Qingwu territory."

"Boss, are you heading to Black Qingwu?"

"Um, Black Qingwu, I’m thinking of dealing with everything today," Mu Chen said calmly, revealing a slight wicked smile.

"Yes, Boss, I understand." Sawtooth said, then quickly disappeared, moving very fast.

"Wife, let’s go!"

"Go? Think you can leave today without sorting out the money?" Liu Yuxi said with an ascending killing intent.

"Wife, I earned this myself."

"My mom told me that men can’t keep secret stashes of money, otherwise, they’ll end up chasing other women. Hand over all the money now."
