"I want to buy that cicada from you, senior."

Fang Yuan wanted to own another Spring and Autumn Cicada and bury it in a certain time and space. Holding two cicadas, he could have the ability to travel back and forth.

For instance, Fang Yuan returned to five hundred years ago during this trip. He could bury this sleeping Spring and Autumn Cicada at that time, and when it awakes, he would carry another one.

If he ever encounters a desperate situation again, he could use this cicada to reverse time once more.

This would increase his margin for error and make it not so easy for him to die.

Otherwise, if in some period, the Spring and Autumn Cicada were to die or be snatched away, he wouldn't fall into a deadlock.

....

"What will you use to buy it?"

Su Mu asked with a smile.

You're dirt-poor now, with hardly any money on you, what will you use to buy it??

....

"With my future."

Fang Yuan was resolute, believing that if he owned two Spring and Autumn Cicadas, he would reach even greater heights. If he obtained some Supreme Treasure in the future, he would use it to repay the debt.

It's like buying a Spring and Autumn Cicada with his future.

"I still owe senior a treasure."

"If senior is willing to sell this cicada to me, I'm willing to bet on my future. Any Supreme Treasure I acquire will be reserved for you, delivered personally."

Fang Yuan knew that if he missed this opportunity, it might never come again.

Using his future to buy a Spring and Autumn Cicada, betting on a broader future.

Hearing this, Su Mu was somewhat surprised.

Isn't this cicada quite ordinary?

They're everywhere around here.

"Alright then, you can take a few more."

Su Mu waved his hand grandly, grabbing four or five more Spring and Autumn Cicadas and holding them out.

Buying a cicada with the future made Su Mu feel a bit embarrassed, so he simply gave him a few more.

...

Watching his opponent casually grasp the Spring and Autumn Cicadas that countless people dreamed of for reversing time, Fang Yuan was taken aback, then smiled bitterly.

This is absolute power. When standing at a certain height, everything seems ordinary, like ants.

This was the realm Fang Yuan had always pursued.

Fang Yuan's gaze wandered among the Spring and Autumn Cicadas, finally settling on one with which he felt a connection, and then he said, "Just this one."

Hearing this, Su Mu was surprised, "Just this one? I can give you all of them."

At that, Fang Yuan just shook his head with a smile, saying, "Just this one is enough."

Amidst an ocean, I only take one scoop. Even with many Spring and Autumn Cicadas, he wanted just one.

Because carrying one more Spring and Autumn Cicada means more danger, more karma, and he still doesn't have the strength to refine so many of them.

"Alright then."

"Take it."

After speaking, Su Mu handed him the cicada that he felt a connection with.

Fang Yuan carefully took the Spring and Autumn Cicada and tucked it into his sleeve, then cupped his fists toward Su Mu, saying, "Thank you, senior, I will remember your kindness today."

"Someday, I will return to repay your kindness of gifting the cicada, senior."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu waved his hand, saying, "Go, go."

After cupping his fists, Fang Yuan turned and rode away on bamboo, disappearing at the end of the riverbank.

[Congratulations, you maintained order on the river surface, triggering a critical double reward, Favor Points +10000]

Hearing the system's announcement, Su Mu was overjoyed.

Wow, a whole ten thousand Favor Points!

Su Mu also noted the name "Fang Yuan," a very peculiar and special person.

He welcomed Fang Yuan to return often. Each visit meant ten thousand Favor Points, frequent visits would save Su Mu a long time of daily patrolling.

After finishing all this, Su Mu returned to the riverbank, came under a willow tree.

He sat down, picked up his teacup, finding the tea still hot, thankfully not cold.

Finally, he could quietly enjoy his afternoon tea.

After a sip, it entered slightly cool, and the rich exotic aroma filled his nostrils. Upon careful tasting, you could feel a slight bitterness, but it was just right.

After a sip, Su Mu used the dagger to pick up a piece of raw fish and put it into his mouth to chew gently.

It's really no wonder it's Treasure Fish. Even after so many days, it's still very tender, and tastes better than boiled, retaining its original flavor.

After that, he took a bite of the carrot meat, crisp and fragrant.

This way, a sip of tea, a piece of fish, a bite of carrot meat.

Unconsciously, in less than half the time of an incense stick, he finished it all.

.....

After finishing everything, Su Mu reclined comfortably in the chair, and the next moment, a willow branch hung down to fan Su Mu.

This willow tree had grown quite tall by now.

After being well-fed, he planned to take a nice little nap.

But he felt his nose become cool, as if something was flowing down.

Su Mu reached to touch and found it was blood, a bloody smell immediately filled his nostrils.

Oh no, seems like he over-replenished!

...

At the same time, he consumed White Kui Meat, Treasure Carp Meat, Treasure Flower, the most he had eaten in a long time, and the richest.

It was too nourishing, so much that the Vital Blood Force was starting to overflow.

....

In the next second, streams of overwhelming energy burst forth within, rampaging chaotically.

Feeling the change, Su Mu took deep breaths, quickly sitting in a meditational pose, circulating several Cultivation Techniques, trying hard to digest the strong energies.

It took a full five hours to completely digest all the energy.

Then, when he opened his eyes again, a ripple of spiritual power waved out from his dantian, and his aura began to soar, reaching the Three Tribulations Realm!

Successfully stepping into the Three Tribulations Realm, Su Mu felt very cheerful, just feeling refreshed.

Cultivation is so simple~

...

After eating and drinking, and his Cultivation advanced, Su Mu stood up, stretched lazily.

Then picked up the silver dagger on the table, slowly walked toward the crocodile carcass that had just tried to ram the little embankment.

This darn crocodile nearly broke the embankment he'd just repaired.

....

Crouching down, he stretched out his right hand, touching the crocodile's skin, and just from the touch, he could feel a massive Vital Blood Force still lingering.

It had been dead for five or six hours, and the remaining Vital Blood Force was still so strong, could it be a Treasure Crocodile?

Su Mu picked up the silver dagger, ready to start dissecting.

With a gentle slice, the first cut didn't even penetrate!

From this, it definitely seemed to be a Treasure Crocodile!

Su Mu exerted all his strength to stab the dagger through the tough skin, taking half an hour just to cut open the belly of the crocodile.

At this point, he was sweating profusely.

Man, this Treasure Crocodile, the skin is really tough.

But rather than its tough skin, Su Mu thought its head was tougher, what did it have in mind to ram his embankment?

....

But fortunately, his old companion, the silver dagger, was still very sharp. So far, he hadn't found anything it couldn't cut.

Whenever encountering a tough Treasure Fish, his old companion would showcase its sharpness!

But cutting in, suddenly, Su Mu seemed to hit something particularly hard, using force couldn't get through.

Then, he put aside the knife, and pulled out something from the crocodile's belly.

"This... what is this thing?"
