"Thank you, Mr. Xuan Zhizi, this makes it much clearer what I should cultivate."

Madam Xiang expressed her gratitude to Xuan Zhizi joyfully.

"You're too kind, too kind!"

Xuan Zhizi was sweating anxiously, seemingly extremely nervous.

"Also, this is for you."

Having said that, Xuan Zhizi pulled out a small, clear and transparent round bead that looked like a glass ball. He held it with both hands and gave it to Madam Xiang with great reverence.

"A Borrowing Bead?"

Madam Xiang paused, looking at Xuan Zhizi in surprise, "Mr. Xuan Zhizi, what is this?"

Xuan Zhizi's face bore a flattering smile, "To everyone who asks me a question, I give a gift. This is for you."

"Ah!"

Madam Xiang was pleasantly surprised, took the bead gratefully and thanked him solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Xuan Zhizi, you're very kind!"

"Don't mention it. If you ever need help in the future, feel free to come to me, and I'll be at your service."

Xuan Zhizi said eagerly and yet nervously.

"Thank you, thank you're truly kind!"

Madam Xiang, holding the Borrowing Bead, thanked Xuan Zhizi once more before she left.

Throughout this, Xuan Zhizi was sincerely terrified, seeming as though he couldn't accept Madam Xiang's thanks and saw her off most respectfully.

Xiao Mu was really stunned at what he witnessed.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand why the usually aloof and grand Xuan Zhizi was being so respectful to Madam Xiang.

"Ahem!"

Xiao Mu gave a slight cough, attracting Xuan Zhizi's attention.

The previously respectful Xuan Zhizi turned around immediately after hearing this.

He evidently realized that his recent behavior might seem odd to Xiao Mu. With a hint of embarrassment on his face, he clarified sternly, "Don't get the wrong idea, Miss Tian Xiang is the reincarnation of my father."

Xiao Mu was taken aback.

He couldn't possibly associate the delicate Madam Xiang with the reincarnation of Xuan Zhizi's father.

Are you sure it's your father and not your daughter?

He couldn't imagine what kind of man Xuan Zhizi's father was to be reincarnated as a delicate young woman like Madam Xiang.

"Keep this a secret. Especially from Miss Tian Xiang!"

Xuan Zhizi solemnly reminded Xiao Mu, with a hint of threat in his tone.

He appeared as if he would hold Xiao Mu accountable should he tell Tian Xiang.

"Ten consultation opportunities."

Xiao Mu took this opportunity to bargain.

"Three, at most!"

Xuan Zhizi's eyes fixed on Xiao Mu with a slightly unpleasant expression.

"Deal!"

Xiao Mu agreed immediately.

Regardless, it's a profit for him whether it's three or ten times as long as it doesn't cost him anything.

"Goodbye!"

After greeting Xuan Zhizi, Xiao Mu turned and walked away casually.

However, he couldn't hide the smile playing on his lips.

This is too absurd!

The gentle and amiable Madam Xiang is the reincarnation of Xuan Zhizi's father. He wouldn't believe it if he hadn't heard it from Xuan Zhizi himself.

But does reincarnation really exist in this world?

Leaving the grand hall, he headed straight to the book section.

He ran into Madam Xiang who was also looking up books.

Madam Xiang, who is only 1.5 meters tall, was holding a stack of books taller than her and was cheerfully heading to the reading section.

"Miss Tian Xiang?"

Xiao Mu seized the opportunity to greet her.

"Do you know me? Who are you?"

Madam Xiang looked at Xiao Mu in surprise. As she looked him up and down, her face showed a shocked expression.

"I am Xiao Mu, could you let me see the Borrowing Bead that Xuan Zhizi gave you earlier?"

Xiao asked.

The Borrowing Bead is a special method that integrates borrowing opportunities into a bead, making transactions more efficient. However, Xiao Mu had never seen one before, sparking his curiosity.

"Borrowing Bead?"

Ms. Tian Xiang showed a look of difficulty on her face, but after a moment, she said, "Alright."

She put down the books she was holding in her arms on the table, took out the Borrowing Bead, and handed it to Xiao Mu, politely saying, "Please take a look."

"What a great item!"

Xiao Mu held the Borrowing Bead in his hand, and after just a glance, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Compared to the borrowing times recorded in the identity badges, this type of Borrowing Bead was extremely convenient and handy to use.

"I only have one,"

Tian Xiang hurriedly said.

She seemed quite afraid that Xiao Mu would keep the Borrowing Bead without returning it.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu returned the Borrowing Bead to Tian Xiang's hands.

Having witnessed Ms. Tian Xiang bring down Hui Ming Monk, he was keenly aware of how dangerous the young lady in front of him could be. Despite her harmless and courteous exterior, she would not hesitate to kill when angered.

This was a woman Xiao Mu was not willing to provoke lightly.

Not to mention, standing behind her was a man shrouded in mystery, the son of his past life.

"Thank you!"

Tian Xiang also thanked Xiao Mu, revealing a slight fear of him not returning the Borrowing Bead. She promptly stored the Borrowing Bead away, putting it into her Storage Box.

With a smile at Tian Xiang, Xiao Mu turned and walked away.

He headed to the borrowing area to find the "Energy Transfer Secret Technique" book he needed.

Not long after he found it, Xiao Mu found a spot in the reading area, sat down, and quietly read the book in his hands.

Three days later, having completely understood the "Energy Transfer Secret Technique," Xiao Mu headed towards the warehouse.

Half an hour later, Xiao Mu, who had just left the warehouse, held a small round bead in his hand and muttered, "What a rip-off! Fifty energy fruits for an empty Basic Chronicle."

"If it weren't for the fact that I just recently received a reward of four hundred energy fruits, I wouldn't even be able to afford a single empty Basic Chronicle."

Holding the empty Basic Chronicle in his hand, he weighed it a few times and moved towards his living quarters.

Once back in his living area and after getting prepared, Xiao Mu sat cross-legged in the room. With the Divine Thought Bead and the empty Basic Chronicle in front of him, the Dao Method Spiritual Energy surged from his body and flooded into the Divine Thought Bead and the Basic Chronicle.

The Divine Thought Bead and the empty Basic Chronicle floated in the air, situated on either side of him.

Xiao Mu stretched out both hands, pointing at the Divine Thought Bead and the Basic Chronicle, respectively.

Between his two hands, there was a golden line of Dao Method Spiritual Energy connecting the Divine Thought Bead and the Basic Chronicle, with another line bridging the two.

Xiao Mu looked serious and solemn, his hands continually emitting Dao Method Spiritual Energy, inputting it into the Divine Thought Bead and the Basic Chronicle.

Quickly, the Divine Thought Stream from within the Divine Thought Bead began to move along the line of Dao Method Spiritual Energy and slowly transferred into the empty Basic Chronicle.

Xiao Mu's expression became even more serious.

What he was doing now was quite similar to cutting and pasting documents on a computer. The only difference was that what Xiao Mu was transferring was a more complex Divine Thought Stream.

The transfer speed of the Divine Thought Stream was incredibly slow. It took five to six hours before it was fully transferred.

And at this point, due to the massive consumption of Dao Method Spiritual Energy, Xiao Mu was almost completely drained and exhausted.

He hastily took out a dozen energy fruits, one after another, and ate them to restore his energy.

Four or five hours later, having completely recovered, Xiao Mu began to check the Basic Chronicle into which the Divine Thought Stream had been transferred.

At this moment, the Basic Chronicle, which now contained the Divine Thought Stream, was no longer empty but contained numerous Divine Thought Streams.

"Power of Life and Death?"

Soon after, a look of joy appeared on Xiao Mu's face.

Within the Basic Chronicle, he had clearly sensed the presence of the Power of Life and Death.

At this point, the Basic Chronicle, having absorbed the Divine Thought Stream, had become some kind of Basic Chronicle related to the strange arts of life and death.

"Great!"

Xiao Mu was overjoyed.

Even just a secret art related to the Power of Life and Death was enough to make Xiao Mu ecstatic. Having fought King Da Luo, he was well aware of how formidable the arts related to the Power of Life and Death were.

Yet, in the entire Alliance and in the entire ancient Song Ruins, there was not a single Basic Chronicle related to the Power of Life and Death. This fact alone demonstrated how extraordinarily scarce Basic Chronicles on the Power of Life and Death were.

"As long as I mutate this Chronicle, I will have gained an art related to the Power of Life and Death. With this, my strength will be able to advance further."

Holding the mutated Basic Chronicle, Xiao Mu scrutinized it up and down, unable to put it down.
