With the breakthrough in cultivation, Xu Mu's lifespan increased by another five years, reaching 110 years.

Physical and spiritual growth also has a certain degree.

"Elixir is really a good thing!"

Originally, Xu Mu calculated that it would take a month to break through anyway, but he did not expect to break through in a few days, and he was basically refining alchemy these days, not practicing much at all.

After adapting to the breakthrough in cultivation, Xu Mu immediately ran to the bedroom to share the joy with his wife.

"Sir, you seem to be getting younger?"

Before he could speak, Ye Yingying, who was feeding Xiao Ling'er, said in surprise.

"That's because my cultivation base has broken through! But, is it so obvious?" He pinched his chin and wondered.

It's just a breakthrough from the early stage of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training. Although the life span has increased by a few years, it should not be obvious.

"See for yourself!"

Ye Yingying tore off what was in Xiao Ling'er's mouth, without covering it up, picked up the bronze mirror on the bedside, and immediately handed it over.

Xu Mu took the bronze mirror and faced his face, a strange yet familiar face was reflected on the smooth mirror.

The facial features are sharp and angular, and there is a trace of determination between the brows.

The gray hair completely disappeared, turned black and full of vitality, the wrinkles on the face also disappeared a lot, and the whole person became radiant, as if ten years younger.

In fact it does!

The breakthrough of Chalcedony Pill and cultivation had added eight years to his lifespan, which is only two years away from ten years.

"Not bad! Does Ying'er like me now?"

Xu Mu handed the bronze mirror to Ye Yingying, pinched her nose and smiled.

"I like everything Xianggong looks like!"

Ye Yingying grinned, showing her small canine teeth.

"really?"

"Uh-huh!"

"My Ying'er's mouth is so sweet, she must be rewarded!"

"Well...the sky hasn't..."

"Wow wow wow!"

Poor little Ling'er, watching the two fighting on the sidelines, burst into tears angrily.

Please don't fight, it will kill people!
woohoo woohoo!
……

The next day

early morning
After eating, Xu Mu told his wife, and walked out of the house in a blue robe.

In the alley outside the door, many people were already standing.

In twos and threes, they gather together and talk in low voices.

Jia An is also one of them.

"Friend Xu Daoist!"

Seeing Xu Mu coming out, he immediately smiled and waved to Xu Mu, and the people who were talking also turned their heads to look over.

A smile appeared on Xu Mu's face, stepping on the bumpy muddy ground under his feet, he walked towards several people with steady steps.

Due to his success in physical training, he walks very steadily, and every step is as if measured by a ruler, with incomparable precision.

It's just that the people present didn't pay much attention.

"Xu Daoyou, you, you..."

When Xu Mu came in front of him, looking at him with a radiant face, Jia An showed a look of surprise.

"Cultivation breakthrough was a fluke, making Jia Daoyou laugh!" Xu Mu laughed.

"congratulations!"

With a smile on Jia An's face, he knocked the dirt on the sole of his shoe vigorously, and hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Congratulations fellow daoist!"

Several other people also cupped their hands in congratulations.

In the middle stage of Qi training, he can be regarded as the number one person in the shantytowns.

However, he only broke through in his 60s, and it is estimated that this life will come to an end, so there is not much envy for a few people.

"You are welcome!"

Xu Mu cupped his hands in return.

Xu Mu knew several people, all of them lived in this alley, but Xu Mu didn't have much contact with them, and he only visited once when he first came here.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you think we can succeed this time?"

One of them, a middle-aged man who was slightly hunched and missing one ear, asked with a worried expression.

Xu Mu knew that the middle-aged man had moved here in the last month. He lived in Sun Daocheng's house at the entrance of the alley. He was a talisman maker named Ma Rui, and he had visited him when he first came here.

However, Ma Rui, a talisman maker, is somewhat unscrupulous, and can even be called a strange flower.

He actually mixed the symbols with the colors, produced a small book with illusions, and even asked him to sell it, but Xu Mu rejected it because of the price... ahem, it was not serious.

"I practice alchemy at home every day. I really don't know where to start. You should ask Fellow Daoist Jia!"

Xu Mu smiled and dismissed the question.

For this event, he just wanted to be a little transparent.

"Fellow Daoist Ma, don't worry! I've said it several times, I promise it will be fine!" Jia An said impatiently.

Before Xu Mu came, Ma Rui had asked several times.

This guy is so cowardly!
"But the Chi family has a foundation-building monk!"

Ma Rui obviously had limited courage, even if Jia An said it several times, he still frowned, worried, and wanted to ask anyone he saw.

While a few people were talking, another door opened next to them.

Two pale, tall and thin men came out from inside.

It's the Li brothers!
Xu Mu did not expect that Jia An would be able to pull these two people in.

After the Li brothers came out, they glanced at the crowd, then leaned against the wall and closed their eyes to meditate, ignoring the crowd, and didn't talk to anyone, appearing to be very out of group.

But no one asked for boring lectures on them!
It is already very good for the two of them to participate in this event.

Xu Mu originally wanted to ask Jia An how he brought these two people here, but there were too many people here, and the two were standing on the sidelines, so it was inconvenient to ask.

When people came out, a middle-aged monk in a yellow robe came in from the street outside.

If you have money to wear robes, this person should not appear in the shantytowns regardless of his cultivation or status.

"Is everyone here?"

"All here! All here!"

In the crowd, including Jia An, three people smiled and walked towards the middle-aged monk.

These three people are obviously the connectors in their alley.

It seems that it may not be Jia An who invited the Li brothers out.

Facing the compliments from the three people, the yellow-robed monk didn't bother to respond, he just said "Let's go!", turned around and walked out.

The three of them were not angry, and turned their heads to beckon familiar people to follow.

Xu Mu, Ma Rui and others also walked out of the alley.

When I got out of the alley, I found that many people had already gathered on the street, all of them were residents nearby.

The crowd gathered, followed the yellow-robed monk, and walked in the direction of Fangshi.

Halfway through, three more teams joined in, and the number reached a huge 500 people.

Such a large gathering of people in such a small market is definitely a rare event in a hundred years.

Moreover, Xu Mu noticed that among them were not only the low-level monks in the shantytowns, but also the middle-level monks living in Fangshi, especially the leaders, all of whom were wearing high-grade robes, obviously of extraordinary strength.

In the past, it was all the existence that he longed for and could not reach.

With so many masters and so many people brought in, it doesn't feel like asking for an explanation, but more like forcing the palace.

Xu Mu had a faint feeling of something bad.

Especially after recognizing one of the high-ranking monks, this feeling became even stronger.

With so many people, if there is a conflict later, it is likely to cause a big riot. If they are involved in time, they may become cannon fodder.

But it seemed too late to withdraw now, he was trapped in the crowd, if he walked back, he would immediately fall into the target of public criticism.

Especially now that there are so many high-level monks in the team, maybe he will be used as the leader.

All Xu Mu can do is to slow down as much as possible, let himself fall to the end of the team, and escape in time if an accident occurs.

"It turns out that there are so many people! Now it might really work! Haha!"

Ma Rui, who was originally timid and fearful, suddenly became emotional, excited, and agitated after he joined the main force.

Xu Mu backed away, but he squeezed forward desperately.

"what happened?"

"what happened!"

Pedestrians on the street noticed their actions, stopped one after another, moved out of the way, and whispered to each other.

Some daring practitioners followed behind, wanting to see what they wanted to do.

The crowd kept gathering like this, and by the time they arrived at the Chi family's residence, the number had reached thousands.

The small doorway was crowded with people and it was very lively.

The Chi family had obviously received the news a long time ago, and several high-ranking monks in robes were guarding the door, ready for battle.

"What do you want to do? Do you know where this is? You can't die!!"

A majestic man wearing a high-grade blue cassock and carrying a long sword stood in front of the large army and scolded in a cold voice.

Facing the team of thousands of people, the middle-aged man did not show the slightest fear, and his status was obviously unusual.

The gray-robed old Xiu with the highest cultivation level in the crowd stepped forward.

"Patriarch Chi, we don't want to do anything, we just came here to ask for an explanation! Your Chi family keeps increasing the rent, and we low-level monks can no longer live. Is the Chi family really going to force us to death?"

"Humph!"

Patriarch Chi snorted coldly and said: "The rent in Fang City is determined by all the families together. You come to our Chi family alone, is it because we are bullying our Chi family!"

As he said that, an invisible aura emanated from his body, cold and sharp, like sharp swords against everyone's throats.

"We don't know who set the rent. We only know that our rent is collected by the Chi family. Now let's ask the owner of the Chi family, can the rent be lowered? Can we give us a way out?"

Another monk in the late stage of qi training stood up in the crowd, and said coldly without fear.

"That's right, give us a way to survive!"

"Does the Chi family insist on forcing us to death?"

"I am alone, and I will die anyway, at worst, I will fight with you!"

The crowd was agitated and shouted loudly, and the crowd became angry for a while, and large-scale conflicts may break out at any time.

Patriarch Chi's expression turned extremely ugly.

Even if you think about it with your ass, you know that if you can organize such a large-scale monk to force the palace, there must be other foundation-building families behind it.

They knew that the Patriarch of the Chi family was injured in the battle with Soul Refining and could not do anything for the time being, so they did this on purpose.

If he backed down this time, the subsequent temptations would be endless until they were driven to a dead end.

Although everyone belongs to the same camp, they have never said that they love each other.

The group of people in front of them are just cannon fodder pushed out.

There will be the current situation, and he underestimated the degree of shamelessness of other families.

"Do you want to lower the rent? Good! I'll give you a chance! You, you, you!"

Patriarch Chi ordered the three strongest monks, including Lao Xiu.

"As long as the three of you can take my sword, our Chi family will not only lower the rent, but also waive your rent for a year! Do you dare or not?"

Patriarch Chi shouted loudly.

"This this……"

In fact, the three of them are not short of this rent, but they are willing to come forward only after the people behind them promise various benefits.

Otherwise, just a group of low-level monks will not be able to accomplish anything.

Patriarch Chi's words were like setting them on fire.

If they agree, even if they win, they won't get much benefit. One year's rent is nothing to them at this level.

But if you don't agree, the team that was originally gathered temporarily will probably disperse in an instant.

Without a large number of people, they would not dare to confront the Chi family.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

"In that case, the three of us will learn Patriarch Chi's peerless sword art together!"

The gray-robed old Xiu is also a human being, and directly described the duel as a three-on-one, rather than one-on-one.

In this way, they are at least [-]% sure of winning, even if the opponent is the Foundation Establishment family.

The eyes of the other two also brightened, and they immediately cupped their hands and said, "Then the three of us will learn Patriarch Chi's brilliant move!"

Patriarch Chi's face was ugly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he didn't stop the cleverness of the three of them.

As the duel was established, the crowd dispersed automatically, leaving an open space.

The four stood opposite each other.

The three gray-robed old cultivators immediately released their defensive magic weapons, and at the same time blessed several body-protection spells. It can be said that they turned themselves into tortoise shells in an instant.

With such a defense, I am afraid that even the foundation building period cannot be broken in one go.

Everyone seemed to have foreseen that after Patriarch Chi's failure, he would be out of breath.

Xu Mu has a different opinion.

Because he didn't think that the person who could take the position of Patriarch would be a fool.

"Are you ready?" Patriarch Chi said coldly.

"Please Patriarch Chi enlighten me!"

The three of them felt a little bit uncertain. Although on the surface it looked like they had a great chance of winning, they didn't know what was going on, they just had no idea.

But now the arrow is on the string, and they have to launch, and they can't be allowed to back down.

So they can only comfort themselves in their hearts, maybe they think too much.

After all, the two parties are both late-stage Qi training monks, and they are three against one, no matter how big the gap is, they will not be unstoppable with one move.

"In that case! Then—"

"Suffer to death!"

Chi Patriarch's eyes suddenly burst into cold light, and the long sword behind his back suddenly unsheathed amidst the buzzing sound, releasing an extremely fierce sword energy.

The next moment, the long sword splits!

One divided into two, two divided into four, four divided into eight, forming ten thousand long swords in the blink of an eye.

"Wan Ling Jian Jue! Go!"

Faced with such an attack, the expressions of the three of them changed instantly.

"Patriarch Chi, we recognize... ah ah ah!"

Under the impact of thousands of sword qi, the impregnable defense of the three of them was smashed into pieces in an instant, and their bodies were directly shot into a hornet's nest.

When the sword energy dissipated, the ground was densely packed with holes, which made everyone's scalps tingle.

"Now, does anyone still want to lower the rent?"
