Chapter 766: Chapter 768: Mirror Demon Gains Power, Southern Mu Family

```

"The Universe Dao Spiritual Beast Technique of Instant Teleportation feels a bit too common," Qin Muye remarked as he observed the Mirror Demon using this newly assimilated Spiritual Beast Technique via the crystal. He was indeed not too satisfied.

The thing about this Spiritual Beast Technique is, it has a long cooldown, costs a lot of mana, and also has a short range. If it weren’t part of the Space System, which only a few other Spiritual Beast Techniques can target while it’s being used for movement, it would genuinely be trash.

It’s still good for saving one’s life, but if a real fight broke out, it could only be used once. After all, the cooldown is nearly five minutes. It can be reduced later on, but the Mirror Demon can’t handle that; after all, it’s not known for its physical strength.

However, there are also benefits. Since it’s a technique inherited from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, not only did the Mirror Demon learn it, but it also directly advanced its proficiency level to Profound Level. It can even bring along one person during Instant Teleportation, though only one.

"This is a Universe Dao Spiritual Beast Technique. How could it be common? Besides, your Mirror Demon doesn’t even have the Universe Dao Attribute. If it weren’t for these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Mirror Demon wouldn’t have been able to learn it," Fan Hua rolled his eyes, feeling that Qin Muye was being unappreciative of his good fortune.

Though the Instant Teleportation Spiritual Beast Technique isn’t as valuable as his Fiery Serpent Child, it could definitely stir up a bloodbath if it were out in the open.

After all, a one-hundred percent learning rate is not guaranteed. Normally, even if the method to learn a Spiritual Beast Technique is acquired, it’s not certain that one can teach it to a Spiritual Beast, especially when it involves learning across attributes.

"Oh, if it weren’t for the fact that I didn’t want the Fiery Serpent Child, Instant Teleportation might be even more suited for you. Chased around as you are, having Instant Teleportation might just save your skin," Qin Muye said teasingly. He understood the value of Instant Teleportation; the main issue was its long cooldown, but that wasn’t because of the Spiritual Beast Technique itself, it was the Mirror Demon that wasn’t up to par.

Spiritual Beast Techniques don’t have cooldowns; as long as the Spiritual Beast can endure it, it can keep casting without any problems. Short range isn’t an issue either; just use it multiple times. The only unsolvable problem is the high mana cost. After all, it’s used to tear open space. If it were low consumption, it wouldn’t be possible to achieve.

"Tsck, you can’t even afford your Mirror Demon, and you’re thinking about the Fiery Serpent Child? The Evolution Secret Technique is probably something only big clans can afford to nurture," Fan Hua originally wanted to tease Qin Muye, but thinking of his own Fiery Serpent Child, he lost the heart to jest, as he couldn’t afford it either.

From the time spent with Qin Muye, it was clear that he possessed some powerful Evolution Secret Technique for the Mirror Demon, otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.

"So all you have to do is swallow your pride and off the Mu Family... oh, looks like your Uncle Mu already did that for us, huh? Now we can head straight for the Mu Family. Once there, you can smoothly take over. You’ll have your freeloader’s life and I can leech some resources," Qin Muye thought it over and felt it was feasible.

With his ’Main Character Aura Starter Pack,’ he was sure he could manipulate everyone in the Mu Family.

"If we really went to join the Mu Family, I’m afraid we’d get knifed before we even reached the door. They sent a Profound Immortal to silence us, which shows the Mu Family is in serious internal conflict. The position of Family Head hasn’t been settled, and going there would definitely mark us as a thorn in their side," Fan Hua had no faith in Qin Muye’s proposal, not being a fool.

From the fact that Mu Heng came to silence them, it was clear that his free ride was also under fierce contention within the Mu Family.

"Hiss~ I thought you’d gleefully follow back, so aren’t you worried about your freeloader life turning into gruel?" Qin Muye asked.

With the Mu Family being so treacherous, Fan Hua’s free ride must be rough. Otherwise, no one would come to kill him.

"We could die and she still wouldn’t," Fan Hua responded matter-of-factly.

This left Qin Muye deep in thought. Which young lady in the Mu Family had such capabilities?

First, she would have to be a married woman, then have significant influence within the Mu Family, and third, possess ample strength.

It didn’t seem like anyone fit all of these criteria.

Qin Muye was also puzzled; he went through the possibilities and found many who met one or two criteria, but none that met all three.

"Oh well, let’s go somewhere else to continue getting by. Better to stay far from the Mu Family, so we can keep hustling for resources to nurture Spiritual Beasts," Qin Muye offered a very constructive suggestion.

His Mirror Demon had already acquired one Universe Dao Spiritual Beast Technique. Next, naturally, was to grind its proficiency in Spiritual Beast Techniques. As for evolution resources, if it really came down to it, he could shamelessly beg from the original being.

And if they could be found, all the better, avoiding these troubles.

Spreading his Main Character Aura since meeting Fan Hua had been exceptionally effective. Originally, he just wanted to treasure-hunt, but somehow he wound up getting the Main Character treatment.

So now, without relying on treasure hunting, he could spread his Main Character Aura and grow, simply by continuing to stir things up with Fan Hua.

```

He believed in Fan Hua’s potential!

"Alright, do you have any good destinations in mind?" Fan Hua asked, since not only had he managed to escape danger this time but also stumbled upon an opportunity. Thus, he developed a deeper impression of Qin Muye’s ability in Heavenly Mechanism Calculation.

Although the journey might be full of twists and turns, there generally wasn’t much of an issue, so the destination definitely had to be chosen by Qin Muye.

"If not, just head south and see where we end up, it’s not like it’s a big deal," Qin Muye said, indicating he knew nothing about Heavenly Mechanism Calculation; he was just winging it.

So, he casually picked a direction from the north, south, east, and west.

"But the Mu Family is in the south," Fan Hua said after a moment of silence. Don’t ask how he knew that; after all, he had just run over from the south.

"Ahem, what a coincidence, right? But have you ever heard of ’it’s darker under the lamp’?"

"They say the most dangerous place is the safest, and wasn’t it the famous Lu Xun who said this? That’s an absolute truth," Qin Muye claimed, with no clue who actually said it. But as long as nobody knew, he could just attribute it to Lu Xun, who couldn’t refute it anyway.

"Are you sure?" Fan Hua looked at Qin Muye skeptically. He suspected that Qin Muye hadn’t done any Heavenly Mechanism Calculation at all and had simply spouted something off the top of his head, picking a direction at random.

"Yeah, what’s there to be unsure about? You have to believe in my abilities," Qin Muye asserted with his neck stiff.

This character setting couldn’t be lost; otherwise, the pretense he’d used to dupe Fan Hua before would be exposed.

"I believe in your abilities, but as for your character," Fan Hua paused after a quick review of Qin Muye’s nonsense behavior, then said, "it’s quite the trap."

That’s right, Fan Hua found Qin Muye to be quite a trap. Although the Heavenly Mechanism Calculations were done, the process was filled with dangers. You could say they avoided them, which was true, but it was thanks to their own strength. To say they didn’t avoid them, that would be too unfair to the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation; the way they had been pursued was utterly brutal, with even a Profound Immortal dispatched against them.

Luckily, they had good fortune at the end to dodge that crisis; otherwise, they both would now be buried under the magma.

"This is the result of the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation, not something I can control. If not south, let’s continue north then," Qin Muye suggested, using reverse psychology on purpose by saying if you don’t follow and something happens, don’t blame me.

Fan Hua pondered for a while, then said, "Could it be a case of survival after a desperate situation?"

Otherwise, who would run right back after just managing to escape?

"Right, right, right, that’s exactly what I mean," Qin Muye felt that heading south was indeed the way to go. If Fan Hua and the Mu Family started to fight, it would definitely be quite a scene to watch.

With both of them having the Main Character Aura, he couldn’t believe the Mu Family could stand a chance.

If the Mu Family’s Daluo Golden Immortal were still alive, there might have been a chance of success, but now with only a Golden Immortal at the highest, Qin Muye was confident they couldn’t shake the Main Character Aura.

A mere Level 7, how could they possibly win against the Main Character Aura created by a Level 9 entity.

"The Mu Family will never expect us to run back there. When we do, not only can we infiltrate their ranks, but we can also covertly target those from the Mu Family who dared to make a move against us," Qin Muye made this statement, which was quite fake. With the abilities of a major family like theirs, they would probably be noticed the moment they stepped onto the family’s territory.

Especially now when the Mu Family was in the midst of a power struggle, any slight disturbance could arouse alertness, let alone Fan Hua, for whom they had sent a named Profound Immortal to silence.

Under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be much of an issue, but now that Profound Immortal had died, and instead, Fan Hua was alive and had come back—didn’t that say something?

"Alright, then we head south towards the Mu Family," Fan Hua gritted his teeth and ultimately decided to believe Qin Muye’s bluff.

"As long as we join forces, a mere Mu Family can be wiped out with a backhand," Qin Muye declared boldly.

This made Fan Hua feel a bit odd. Weren’t those words a bit too brave? Both of them still had only Mortal Realm strength; they probably couldn’t even beat the children of the family.
