Chapter 369: Chapter 338: Inborn Deficiency _1

The sea was stormy, but when it reached Xu Mu, it naturally calmed down, and there was not even a ripple, becoming as clear as a mirror.

Xu Mu stared off into the distant sky, watching the approaching Escape Light.

Whoosh!

The Escape Light landed in front of Xu Mu, transforming into two girls dressed in blue and pink palace outfits. One was tall and quiet, and the other was petite and cute, exuding quirkiness and spirit.

Upon seeing Xu Mu, the two girls’ eyes involuntarily flashed with a trace of fear, but they forced smiles onto their faces.

“Daddy!”

These two girls were none other than Xu Tianmei, Xu Yiren’s daughter, and Xu Tianlei, Zhang Tianluo’s daughter.

“You two are really daring, running to wherever danger is!” Xu Mu said calmly, looking at the two.

He had noticed the two of them when he first arrived at Blood Shadow City, but he had not made contact with them because he didn’t want to attract the attention of the people from the Blood Demon Sect during the auction.

Now that all matters have been taken care of, naturally, them staying in such a dangerous place is out of the question.

“Daddy, we…”

The two unconsciously shivered, wanting to explain.

“No need to explain, aren’t you two insisting on exploring the Cang Ming Ocean Territory? Coincidentally, I’m heading there as well, let’s go together!”

“What?”

The two showed a bitter expression.

With their father Xu Mu accompanying them, there would hardly be freedom for them. Their once rare chance to venture outside for experience given by their mothers would probably ruin now.

“What? You don’t want to?”

“No! No, we do! It’s just…”

The two nodded repeatedly.

Although Xu Mu had never hit or scolded them, they felt inexplicably scared whenever they saw him.

Xu Mu didn’t say much else. He let out a Flying Boat and ordered the two to go on board. He took control of the Flying Boat while dividing his attention to enter the God Refining Tripod, checking on Ming Lingchun’s condition.

“Teacher! What are you doing here?”

Ming Lingchun, who was idly lazing around, heard the sound and quickly turned his head, only to see a young man from the Snake Clan standing behind him. Recognizing his features, Ming Lingchun couldn’t help but express surprise and delight.

This Snake Clan’s young man was the second reincarnation of Xu Mu, although now very different from before. This second reincarnation was now an empty shell with just a hint of Xu Mu’s Divine Intent.

However, given Ming Lingchun’s current state, he couldn’t even tell the difference.

“Never mind how I got here, so you got captured by humans again?” Xu Mu frowned.

“A few years ago, I sensed that your soul plate became faint. I thought you were in danger, so I sneaked out to save you. Then, I ran into humans and got caught!” Ming Lingchun scratched his head with a naive expression as he laughed.

Due to innate deficiencies, Ming Lingchun’s personality was extremely simple, so much so that even after being tortured to a state where he was unrecognizable, he still remained the same. Some might call him a fool.

His ability to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage was all due to Xu Mu’s support, coupled with his own bloodline, otherwise, he would struggle to even reach the beginning stages of Qi Cultivation.

“To find me?”

Xu Mu furrowed his brows.

A few years ago was when he had been at a crucial juncture, withdrawing all his reincarnations, so naturally, his soul plate had weakened.

But given Ming Lingchun’s position, he should have been prevented from leaving by the Sea Race’s Imperial Clan.

“Wasn’t there anyone to stop you when you left?”

“No! I used an Invisibility Technique and fooled everyone!” Ming Lingchun said with a bit of self-satisfaction.

“…”

Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.

This wasn’t fooling anyone, this was clearly being abandoned!

Was it Ming Ling Yulan who did this, or was it someone else in the Imperial Clan?

Xu Mu wasn’t too sure, not that he needed to be.

“Forget it! I’m already out, what’s the point in thinking about all this!” Xu Mu muttered to himself.

Ming Lingchun’s innate abilities are poor and he’s a bit slow. When my clone was around, I could look after him a bit. Now that my clone is no longer with him, staying in the Sea Race Imperial Clan only results in his daily bullying. He might as well follow me. At least I can devise ways to recover his innate deficiencies.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, I’ll help you treat your injuries first!”

“Oh! Okay!”

After checking, he discovered that Ming Lingchun’s condition was quite similar to his own. Due to heavy blood loss, his life force was draining. The good news was that his symptoms were a bit lighter than his, and his cultivation was relatively low, making recovery easier. If he could recover to the Golden Core Stage, this slight loss of life force wouldn’t mean much.

This kind of condition was not difficult for his children, the only drawback was the consumption of more resources. But Ming Lingchun was different, his birth was quite unique, with innate deficiencies, not only physically but also at the soul level. Under these circumstances, breaking through to Golden Core was almost impossible, regardless of how many resources he could invest in him, unless he could compensate for his physical deficiencies.

If he couldn’t compensate for his innate deficiencies, regardless of Xu Mu’s efforts to replenish his life force, he would remain at the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future.

Therefore, whether for the present or the future, it was necessary to try to compensate for his innate deficiencies as much as possible.

However, attempting to recover from such innate deficiencies was quite difficult and it was only possible with those legendary heaven-defying treasures.

Even with Xu Mu’s current status, he had no access to these things.

Forget it! We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!

Xu Mu sighed to himself.

He first made Ming Lingchun take a pill to stabilize his physical condition, then conditioned his meridians to restore some of his cultivation, and finally expelled the toxins in his body.

Though Five Poison True Monarch’s poison skill was quite extraordinary, as Ming Lingchun’s body was weak, she didn’t dare use a strong poison, hence the removal wasn’t complicated.

After a period of treatment, at least on the surface, Ming Lingchun seemed to have recovered to his original state. However, his life force was still draining and his true lifespan may only be about ten to twenty years.

“First, I’ll find a way to help him replenish his life span, then find a way to help him recover from his innate deficiencies.” Xu Mu thought to himself.

Compared to restoring innate deficiencies, replenishing lifespan seemed much simpler. If necessary, Xu Mu could even take him into the Misty Sea. He still possessed the life stone, as long as the Pool of Creation still existed, finding it wouldn’t be difficult.

But, does it still exist?

Thinking of the giant snake’s huge mouth, Xu Mu shuddered a bit.

“Little Chun! The human who saved you is my friend, so you’ll follow him from now on. If you ever want to go back, you can tell him.” Xu Mu said.

Since he can’t always interact with Ming Lingchun with his clone and also can’t always keep Ming Lingchun in the God Refining Tripod, he found this excuse.

“Ah? What about you, master?!”

He never thought his master would become friends with a human. In his mind, all humans were bad. But due to his trust in his master, he didn’t question this.

“I have something that requires me to leave for a while!”

“Master, I want to come with you!” Ming Lingchun said quickly.

Compared to the stranger who is a human, he naturally prefers his own kind.

“The place I’m going to is quite dangerous, I can’t bring you with me!” Xu Mu patted his shoulder reassuringly: “Don’t worry, my friend is very kind and definitely won’t harm you!”

“Master, I…”

Ming Lingchun was still somewhat reluctant.

“Obey!”

Xu Mu became slightly serious.

“Oh!”

Ming Lingchun could only reluctantly agree.

“I’m off!”

Xu Mu smiled and waved his hand, the figure disappeared.

“Master! Master!”

Ming Lingchun shouted frantically, and the next moment he found himself on a flying boat, looking at the Xu Mu and the others standing in front of him, shuddered from the fear.

“Tianmei, Tianlei, from now on, he is your little brother, take good care of him.” Xu Mu said casually.

“Little brother?”

Xu Tianmei and Xu Tianlei looked at the Sea Race in front of them, completely confused.
