Chapter 251: Chapter 220 Fairy Moon Palace_1

“Simply hiding out on the territory of the Fairy Moon Palace is still a bit risky. I need to find a way to take refuge inside the Fairy Moon Palace!”

After arriving in Immortal Moon City where Fairy Moon Palace was located, Xu Mu found a high-end inn to stay for a few days. Not seeing any people from Tianyang Palace pursuing him, he felt somewhat relieved.

However, for the sake of safety, he felt that he should go further, it would be best to hide within the Fairy Moon Palace, where the people from Tianyang Palace wouldn’t be able to do anything to him even if they knew where he was.

Moreover, it was clearly much safer to break through to the Golden Core Stage inside the Fairy Moon Palace than outside.

Although there were special training rooms for hire in Immortal Moon City, the breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage was not a minor matter, and Xu Mu didn’t want to take any risks.

If he could join Fairy Moon Palace, with the Fairy Moon Palace as his backer, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

After contemplating it and deeming it viable, Xu Mu changed his appearance, left the inn, and started to inquire about news related to Fairy Moon Palace.

In the process of gathering information, he unexpectedly heard that the Fairy Moon Palace was recruiting rogue cultivator alchemists, which made his eyes lit up.

With the system he possessed, he didn’t fear anyone in terms of alchemy.

If they were really sincere in recruiting alchemists, with his skills, it wouldn’t be hard to join.

After further confirmation from various sources and knowing that the news wasn’t fake, he immediately packed up his belongings and rushed towards Fairy Moon Palace.

The opportunity was rare, and he didn’t want to miss it.

Mountains and rivers can gather spiritual energy, so most sects are located in the mountains, and Fairy Moon Palace was no exception.

Fairy Moon Palace wasn’t far from the city, and Xu Mu arrived quickly.

Similar to Tianyang Palace, the entrance gate of Fairy Moon Palace was also bustling with people coming and going.

However, compared to Tianyang Palace, the entrance of Fairy Moon Palace was somewhat different. The whole sect was shrouded in white fog, making it impossible to see the whole view.

This white fog was likely formed by a formation. If it was naturally formed, it couldn’t exist throughout the year.

“Such extravagance befitting of a major sect!”

Xu Mu exclaimed.

This formation covered nearly a thousand miles, consuming a vast amount of Spirit Stones. Even if there was support from the Spirit Vein, it was still a staggering number that an average Nascent Soul Sect couldn’t afford.

No disciple was standing guard at the entrance of the formation. Xu Mu, following the flow of people, stepped in, and in the next moment, the scenery changed, leaving only him there.

“A spatial formation?”

Xu Mu was a bit surprised, but he felt it was unlikely.

A formation of this level would be beyond the capability of a Nascent Soul Sect. It was probably just a high-tier illusion array.

However, the fact that it could even trick him indicated that this formation was extraordinary.

“It appears that Fairy Moon Palace’s prowess in formation is remarkable!”

This made Xu Mu look forward to joining Fairy Moon Palace even more. If he could join, he would have a direction to advance in terms of formation.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Xu Mu continued to move forward.

In front of him, there was only a straight path upwards paved with white jade. On either side of the path was dense white fog, making it impossible to see his hand.

Xu Mu followed the path upwards without trying to probe the surrounding.

After walking an unknown amount of time, a giant full moon suddenly appeared before his eyes. It hung in the sky like a wheel of ice, while, at this moment, he was standing in the midst of the starry sky, with the steps under his feet leading towards the distant moon.

It was as if an ordinary man was ascending the steps, about to enter the heavenly palace.

Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Xu Mu couldn’t help but touch his nose, feeling that the Array Master of Fairy Moon Palace was a bit showy.

After pausing for a moment, Xu Mu continued to follow the steps forward, until he actually stepped into the “moon”!

Buzz!

The calm and impressive spectacle suddenly changed completely, and he appeared on a square with a level ground and bustling crowds around him. Looking back, he saw the same thick white fog.

Just as Xu Mu had expected, everything he saw just now was an illusion.

Shaking his head without a word, Xu Mu continued to walk into the square. Moments later, he noticed a gigantic laurel tree growing in the center of the square. The tree bore countless white flowers, as though covered by heavy snow.

Many cultivators who had just entered couldn’t help but walk over to watch.

Xu Mu approached and probed with his divine intent, and discovered that it was a nine-tier spirit plant.

“Fairy Moon Palace is indeed generous. They’re growing a nine-tier spirit plant at the entrance, aren’t they afraid that someone would chop it down?”

A nine-tier spirit plant was of inestimable value. Even chopping off a branch could probably forge a high-tier magic artifact.

Placing such a tree at the entrance was akin to depositing a mountain of gold there.

However, considering the showy scene inside the formation, Xu Mu felt that Fairy Moon Palace might be deliberately showing off.

What he could see but not take, Xu Mu didn’t linger for long and headed towards where the reception was.

There were many people who came to Fairy Moon Palace for visits and business. Even though Xu Mu was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he still had to queue up obediently.

The person in charge of reception was an old man, likely an Outer Sect Elder or manager of the Fairy Moon Palace. His hair and beard were entirely snow- white, but they were well-maintained, making him appear full of energy. His cultivation level was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, same as Xu Mu.

“Next!”

The elder called out without raising his head.

Xu Mu stepped up and bowed, “I wish to join the Fairy Moon Palace. Could you please tell me where I should go?”

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, the elder raised his head to examine him.

Seeing Xu Mu’s unusually old appearance, he couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows.

“Although your cultivation base is not bad, your age is too old. You might want to try somewhere else.”

The elder replied tactfully.

Xu Mu was depressed.

He was only a little over a hundred years old. Even among Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, he would be considered in his prime. Considering his complete Foundation Establishment cultivation base, he could indeed become a True Disciple in a major sect.

However, they had refused him without even asking because he was injured.

After his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body broke through to the transcendent level, his lifespan had increased by another ten years. If it weren’t for the breakthrough, it would have been even worse.

Fortunately, he had expected this and had prepared in advance, otherwise, he would have made a wasted trip.

“I am an alchemist, and I can concoct tier six pills.”

“An alchemist?”

Not only was the elder in charge of reception surprised, but the crowd queueing at the back was also slightly taken aback.

Alchemy was fine in the early stages, but at the high levels, it was a scarce profession and highly sought after.

If he was really a tier six alchemist, the experts at the Golden Core Stage would have to be courteous upon meeting him.

Although Xu Mu was older than expected, the occupation of an alchemist was enough to compensate for that.

The elder managing the reception hesitated for a moment before handing him a jade tablet.

“Take this tablet to the Pill Hall. If you pass the assessment, someone will arrange for your induction.”

“Thank you!”

Xu Mu took the jade tablet and expressed his gratitude. Following the elder’s instructions, he then headed to the Pill Hall in Fairy Moon Palace.

With the jade tablet, he smoothly passed several checkpoints and arrived at the location of the Pill Hall.

Upon seeing Xu Mu’s appearance, the Pill Master in charge of the assessment couldn’t help but slightly alter his expression.
