"I plan to establish an Alchemy Master Union Alliance, gathering all the alchemists within the Endless Fire Domain together."

"Furthermore, I will also impart my alchemical insights, techniques, experience, and so on, to attract a large number of alchemical talents."

"Master is right, our Endless Fire Domain is rich with natural talents and resources, and the alchemical culture is also the strongest."

"I too have figured it out. I plan to leverage our greatest advantage to provide a continuous supply of elixir pills to the main battlefield. Better to be the head of a rooster than the tail of a phoenix; we may not be able to contribute on the main battlefield, but we can excel and be the best in terms of elixir resources."

Xiao Huo expressed his thoughts.

After listening, Elder Yao was also momentarily surprised, showing a look of astonishment, finally acknowledging that this young man had opened his mind.

"This is a very good strategy," Elder Yao also gave a strong affirmation.

"Start implementing it as soon as possible; the battle for the domain is approaching soon."

"Alright."

...

Above the Long River.

In Su Mu's courtyard, there was an additional Phoebe Tree, three meters high, with a purplish-gold bark that shimmered with a faint golden luster. The leaves, as large as a palm, were very thick. Most peculiarly, each leaf was of the same size, about as big as a hand.

This Golden Nan Tree was planted by Su Mu a few days ago, and with the watering from the river, it had now grown to a height of three meters.

At night, when the cold descended, this Golden Nan Tree emitted a faint golden glow, like a candle in the eternal night.

The most important thing is that the faint light emitted by this Golden Nanmu Tree, when shining on a person, felt very warm, just enough to dispel the chill of the night.

Su Mu didn't need to intentionally light a fire or a stove anymore. Although Su Mu was immune to the cold, Nannan desperately needed it.

Therefore, with this tree, the temperature of the entire courtyard increased by a few degrees, as if submerged in a warm spring, and Nannan slept much better at night.

Moreover, meditating and cultivating under the Golden Nan Tree also had miraculous effects, greatly improving efficiency.

Now, at night, Su Mu would meditate and cultivate under the tree.

Currently, Su Mu had already completed cultivation of six of the "Nine-Life Immortal King Acupoints."

Specifically, they were Celestial Killer, Celestial Hatred, Heavenly Dark, Celestial Sorrow, Celestial Return, and Celestial Order.

Celestial Killer signifies the solitary star of Celestial Killer, Su Mu's first reincarnation in life.

"Celestial Hatred" is about a life full of hatred.

"Heavenly Dark" is about a dark life.

"Celestial Sorrow" is about a sorrowful life.

The first four reincarnations were all tragic, living miserably and wretchedly.

However, by the time of the fifth, Celestial Return, everything turned around.

Celestial Return represents "dying a natural death in peace." In this cycle, Su Mu lived peacefully until old age, and the day he passed away marked the successful completion of the Celestial Return life reincarnation.

Celestial Order represents "the joy of familial love." During this life cycle, Su Mu experienced family happiness, enjoyed earthly riches, had a large family, savored life's familial joys, and finally died contentedly, buried by his descendants, marking the successful completion of the Celestial Order life reincarnation.

Now, Su Mu had cultivated six Immortal Acupoints, and only the final three were left to complete the legendary Nine Lives Immortal King Body and successfully step into the Immortal King Realm.

But at this stage, Su Mu faced a bottleneck in that he had no idea what these last three reincarnations were.

In the Stone Book, neither Su Mu nor Nannan recognized the last three reincarnations, so he could only deduce and guess for himself.

...

During this time, Su Mu guessed several and tried several times.

For example, "Celestial Music," "Celestial Blessing," and so on, all of which were happy and fulfilling lives, because it seemed from the pattern that the first four were tragic, so the last five should be fulfilling lives.

However, when Su Mu tried several lives through the Reincarnation Ring, none of them were correct, causing Su Mu a great deal of frustration.

He was just three steps away from the Immortal King Realm, yet he did not know how to take these three steps, unable to find a correct direction.

At this time, Su Mu picked up the Stone Book again, page by page, carefully reading the text, hoping to find some clues to deduce the keywords for the last three reincarnations.

He read deep into the night until he suddenly came across a word on one page—"Despair."

When he saw this word, he suddenly froze, his eyes brightened!

Despair, despair, Celestial Extinction!

For some reason, he had a very strong premonition that his speculation was correct!

Immediately, Su Mu closed his eyes and activated the Reincarnation Stone Ring, entering the dreamland of reincarnation.

.....

Unconsciously, the night passed.

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, a stream of light flickered in his pupils, his body had one more Immortal Acupoint, and his aura increased significantly.

He exhaled deeply, completely calming the emotions of the dream.

He had guessed correctly.

Indeed it was Celestial Extinction, a life of despair.

In the reincarnation dream realm, he lived a life experiencing countless kinds of despair—despair from betrayal, despair from predicaments, despair from failure, despair from death... nearly every kind of despair in human existence.

Finally, he died in despair, understanding the essence in death, successfully passing the cycle, and cultivated a new Immortal Acupoint!

Due to the deep immersion in the dream, the feelings in the dream were so real that when Su Mu woke up, it took a while for him to completely calm his mood.

Fortunately, Su Mu had a strong mindset. An ordinary person, after experiencing so much despair, would have long been broken, and even after waking up, certainly would have been left with psychological shadows.

Now, only the last two cycles remain.

....

It was already daytime now.

Nannan, without knowing when, had already gone out on patrol by boat. Now, Nannan got up earlier than herself and was more diligent.

Su Mu also picked up his tools and went out to patrol the river, prioritizing earning Favor Points to leave this damned place as soon as possible.

...

This morning, he didn't know what bad luck he had, but the misfortune was ridiculous.

In the past few mornings, he at least collected two to three thousand Favor Points, but this morning after it was over, the Favor Points didn't even break a thousand, making Su Mu extremely depressed.

Walking along, Su Mu arrived at the junction of the main river channel.

This section of the river, this junction, was Su Mu's first visit. To improve his luck, Su Mu decided to try the branch stream.

Su Mu walked into a small branch stream and discovered that all along the riverbank, there were no weeds, not even a few rocks...

It was as if someone had come to clean it up?

But it was Su Mu's first time here, so could it be... someone else was cleaning this stream?

Just as Su Mu was puzzled, he sensed something and looked ahead.

At the end of the small stream was a small lake on which a small wooden house was built.

Upon closer examination, one could see a figure sitting in front of the small wooden house.
