The main harvest from this mission was the energy fruits.

Even without considering the 300 awarded for completing the task, Xiao Mu has still gained a thousand energy fruits.

With the task reward included, as well as the reward for killing King Daluo, Xiao Mu now had 1700 energy fruits in his possession.

"1700 energy fruits, that's about enough for me to break through to the late stage. Even if there's a shortage, it would only be by two or three hundred fruits at most. Selling the Disease Yellow Luo Umbrella will definitely be enough."

The abundant harvest made Xiao Mu greatly overjoyed. He took out the energy fruits, checked them once, and then put them away immediately.

He sat cross-legged, eating the energy fruits, starting preparations to break through to the late Fifth Realm.

Having responsibilities, he could not cultivate all day long. He could only consume the fruits separately, breaking through bit by bit.

After eating ten energy fruits, Xiao Mu instantly started absorbing power, quickly entering a state of meditation.

About half an hour later, a shocking feeling suddenly awoke him.

He had an extremely clear sensation as if something was scanning his body inch by inch.

Xiao Mu was startled, and hastily lowered his head.

Two faint yellow beams shot out from the void, scanning over his body.

To his surprise, his body had become transparent. He could clearly see his own internal organs through the chest of his clothing.

This was obviously some kind of bizarre Secret Art, scanning Xiao Mu across the distance.

"Who is it?"

Frightened, Xiao Mu immediately vibrated the Kind of Chaos True Seed.

Death Force seeped out from the Kind of Chaos True Seed, forming a gray wall outside his body.

The faint yellow light was immediately cut off by the Death Force, unable to see through Xiao Mu anymore.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mu directly made a move. Five Elements Separation Slash turned into a giant sword, and slashed into the void where the faint yellow light appeared.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort full of anger rang out. The faint yellow light suddenly disappeared, the void was blocked, and Xiao Mu's Five Elements Separation Slash quietly went in, seemingly without causing any influence.

"Who is it? Who was watching me?"

In a short time, Xiao Mu was startled into a cold sweat.

Someone was monitoring him while he was cultivating.

If it weren't for the fact that he had Chaos-like Power and the Two Forces of Life and Death, he would have been totally unable to resist this level of Secret Art and could only let the other party probe him.

"Just who is it trying to detect me?"

Xiao Mu was unsure who was trying to detect him, but their power was undoubtedly much stronger than his.

"I'm nothing but a common Fifth Realm Mutated Being. Why would a powerful person take notice of me? Why did this person come for me?"

He subconsciously thought of Lei, thought of Xuan Mo, thought of the elongated jade tablet that both of them had mentioned before.

The elongated jade tablet, which made the two leaders of the Song Relics take notice simultaneously, undoubtedly was a rare treasure.

Could it be that the person just now was also interested in the elongated jade tablet?

But I really didn't acquire any sort of elongated jade tablet.

Xiao Mu had the ridiculous feeling of being inexplicably hit while lying down.

If he had known the outcome, he wouldn't have taken on the Immeasurable Cave task.

He had a vague feeling of regret, but it only lasted a short while before Xiao Mu changed his mind.

There's nothing to regret. Although the Immeasurable Cave task brought him trouble, it also brought him great gains.

The best way to deal with powerful enemies is not to regret, but to find a way to increase your own power.

"I must boost my power to the late Fifth Realm as soon as possible."

"In three days, at the trading fair, I plan to sell the Disease Yellow Luo Umbrella and exchange it entirely for energy fruits. The energy fruits I have should be enough to enhance my realm to the late stage."

"Once I reach the late stage, my borrowing privileges will increase, and I can cultivate higher-level Secret Arts."

Xiao Mu made a decision. He believed that enhancing power was the best way to solve the problem. As long as his power is strong enough, he can disregard any tough enemy, and any strong calculation.

The next day, he went to check his daily task arrangements at the Task Hall before eight o'clock as usual.

The task of the day was, unsurprisingly, guarding the Ancient Palace again.

"I seem to smell Spicy Strips."

Xuan Xin rushed towards Xiao Mu, her nostrils flaring and her throat bobbing, obviously swallowing saliva.

"Miss Xuan Xin, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Xiao Mu said thanks, showing a smile on his face.

"Three packs of Spicy Strips, not a pack less."

Xuan Xin stared at Xiao Mu with a vigilant look, seemingly afraid that Xiao Mu would short-change her reward.

Xiao Mu wanted to laugh inwardly, "Don't worry, thanks for the thanks, rewards for the rewards. You won't be short of a single pack of your three packs of Spicy Strips."

"Three packs of Spicy Strips, all different flavors."

Xuan Xin hurriedly corrected Xiao Mu, worried that he would fob her off with Spicy Strips of the same flavor.

"Definitely different flavors."

Xiao Mu took out three packs of difference flavored Spicy Strips from the Earth Seal Space and gave them to Xuan Xin.

"Ah...thank you!"

Xuan Xin was overjoyed, she quickly took the Spicy Strips from Xiao Mu's hand like a flash and suddenly turned into green smoke, disappearing in front of Xiao Mu.

Spicy Strips are not something good, and I won't snatch them from you. Do you really need to run that fast?

Xiao Mu was speechless.

He originally had a question to ask Xuan Xin, but she was ran so fast after getting the Spicy Strips that he didn't have time to ask.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see! How is your task going"

Wang Kui greeted Xiao Mu, giving him a formal salute.
