Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 162
"Seven gourd babies! Unfortunately, I'm not a grandpa!"

Xu Mu walked up to the gourd vine, stretched out his fingers, squeezed out drops of dark red blood from between his fingers, and kept falling on the roots of the gourd vine.

Goo, goo, goo!

The gourd vine seemed to come alive, wriggling and absorbing Xu Mu's blood, and then sent it to the seven gourds.

The seven gourds also began to emit a little light from the original darkness, which is extraordinary.

Xu Mu dripped hundreds of drops of blood in one gulp, until one of the red gourds, which grew the largest and was closest to the root, suddenly fell from the vine.

Xu Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, stretched out his hand to catch it, looked him up and down, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"I hope you don't let me down!"

Xu Mu returned to the practice room with the red gourd.

He took the elixir first, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath to recover the lost vitality, and then opened his eyes to look carefully at the red-skinned gourd in his hand.

The whole gourd is as tall as half a person, and its whole body is as red as red sand. The top is small and the bottom is big, and its appearance is the same as that of ordinary gourds.

Xu Mu stroked it up and down, the material was as cold as jade.

Xu Mu didn't open it immediately, but took out a three-foot-long white ice jade coffin, and then popped it out with one finger.

Bang!
Click!

The two voices merged together, and the next moment, the entire red-skinned gourd cracked inch by inch, revealing the scene inside.

Unlike ordinary gourds that are full of pulp and seeds, there is actually a person lying in this gourd.

A child of five or six years old!
Powder carved jade, small eyes closed.

If you look carefully, you will find that this child is three points similar to Xu Mu.

"The stand-in gourd is really amazing!"

The moment he saw the child, even Xu Mu couldn't help being amazed.

Although he had heard about it when he bought it, he wasn't sure if he hadn't actually seen it.

The reason why he planted this kind of gourd was to make clones.

In the future, the main body will stay at home, safe and worry-free, and the avatar will go out to collect the resources and materials he wants instead of him.

This is Xu Mu's future plan.

In order to find a suitable clone, he has spent a lot of effort in the past few years. Paper figurines, puppets, refined corpses, living corpses, Gu insects, etc. all have various shortcomings. Fortunately, he finally got this so-called clone. There are three kinds of calabash vines that are mutated from the three gods.

In order to cultivate this gourd vine, he had to pour half a catty of blood every day, which was simply unbearable for ordinary cultivators, that is, he dared to do so only because of his deep foundation.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and finally the training was successful.

However, whether it can be as miraculous as the other party said, we still have to try.

Xu Mu picked up the child and put it into the white cold jade coffin. Then he closed his eyes and focused his attention. He quickly pinched the formulas one after another with his hands, even muttering words in his mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, a little golden figure jumped out of Xu Mu's head and onto the child's body.

Then the villain lay down and gradually merged into the child's body.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Xu Mu and Tong Tong opened their eyes at the same time.

"This feeling is really amazing!"

The two spoke at the same time, their voices and expressions were almost exactly the same, only one was older and the other was younger.

After some experimentation, it was found that this avatar was not perfect.

First of all, he doesn't have the slightest cultivation base, so he needs to practice bit by bit. The other is the incompleteness of his soul, which makes his cultivation progress extremely slow.

"No wonder it's so cheap!"

This stand-in gourd looks miraculous, but it's actually just a seventh-order spiritual plant. If it's really too expensive, he can't afford it, let alone keep it.

So it is reasonable to have this shortcoming.

For other cultivators, limited by these two shortcomings, the avatar is completely useless.

Because if you don't cultivate to the same level, you won't be able to help at all.

But only they themselves know how difficult it is to train a person to the same level as themselves.

The cost is too high, it is not as cost-effective as making puppets and refining corpses. Coupled with the limitations of divine sense, it is doomed that the avatar will not be able to achieve anything.

It's a pity to discard it, it's useless to keep it.

So it's tasteless!

But for Xu Mu, it was not a big problem.

Who let him have a system!
No matter how bad the talent is, can it be worse than his body?

It's not the same as he has cultivated to the Golden Core, and has achieved super grades. His talent has been strengthened and improved many times, and he can definitely rank in the forefront of the same level.

So with the system in place, everything is not a problem.

After Xu Mu found out everything, he controlled Xu Da to leave the house and enter Fangshi.

Because it was the first avatar, Xu Mu directly named it Xu Da to save trouble.

This is the first time for Xu Mu to visit his own Fangshi from the identity and perspective of a child. In the past, he used his divine sense to scan at most.

There are people coming and going on the street, compared to when I first came, I don't know how many times more lively.

According to Si Tan'er, with the completion of the defense formation, the population of Fang City began to increase rapidly, and with the promulgation of various laws and regulations, the population entered a stage of skyrocketing.

Although less than ten years have passed, the population has increased to more than 3, surpassing the heyday of Baihefang City.

If it wasn't for Xu Mu's subsequent intention to let Si Tan'er control it, the population might be even higher.

The reason why it is allowed to control the population is also very simple, just to keep out of the limelight.

After all, nominally this place still belonged to the Liyang Sect, and they were to be managed by the Liyang Sect. If they were too prominent, they would be easily targeted.

When the time comes, unless Xu Mu takes action, it will cause endless troubles.

Of course, Xu Mu will not stop there, but has entered a more secretive way of development.

Referred to as the underground forces!
This aspect is under the management of Chifeiyan.

With the support of a large number of spirit stones, the number has already expanded to thousands of people, almost branching into the entire Tianhezong area.

Xu Mu can obtain the most detailed information of all parties in Tianhe Sect in the first time.

In order for Xu Mu to be strong enough, he could even directly seize the position of Tianhezong.

Of course, it may take hundreds of years to have that kind of strength.

The most important role of this faction now is to sell Foundation Establishment Pills.

It is precisely because of the huge wealth resold by both sides that Xu Mu can support everyone's cultivation and the development of his own power.

However, Baihefang City has long been self-sufficient, and even has a large surplus, which can be used to improve the foundation of the city.

"Hey! Kid! Which family do you belong to? Hurry back!"

A team of patrolling guards saw Xu Mu's avatar wandering around the street alone, couldn't help but stop him and shouted.

"Oh!"

Xu Mu responded, but looked at the clothes of the guards.

Although the whole set of body armor is only Tier [-], it is superior in that it has a comprehensive defense and almost no dead ends. What he holds in his hand is a Tier [-] standard halberd, which can be used for close combat or imperial emissary.

Just adding these two together would cost 500 yuan for low-grade spirit stones.

As for the cultivation base, all of them are in the middle stage of Qi training, and only the leading team leader is in the late stage of Qi training.

This kind of equipment and cultivation level almost caught up with the guards in Liyang City, and it was definitely the only one among the many square cities.

And there are fifty such patrol teams in the entire Fangshi, patrolling uninterrupted twelve hours a day to ensure the order of the entire Fangshi.

From this point, it can also be seen that Baihefang City is rich and powerful.

It is precisely because of these well-equipped patrol teams that Baihefang City can ensure a stable environment and develop rapidly.

Not only the inside of Fang City, but even the outer shantytowns have patrols, and there are more than inside, there are a hundred of them.

However, these [-] teams belong to the nature of the militia. Fang City will not provide resources and equipment, but will exempt them from rent and provide some management personnel.

It is precisely because of the existence of these one hundred teams that the shantytowns in Baihefang City have changed a lot compared to before, and they will not be as precarious as before, and they have a good living and business environment.

It has become very prosperous now, and in terms of excitement, it is not much worse than the inside of Fang City.

In addition, there are various policies, such as ultra-low taxes, no oppression of customers and merchants, managers enforce the law impartially, and clear rewards and punishments, etc., are also important factors that promote prosperity.

All of these were naturally created by Xu Mu, who took various management policies from his previous life and modified them according to local conditions.

In fact, these are not complicated, even an ordinary person can think of them.

The reason why good results can be achieved is because Xu Mu has both financial resources and force.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Xu Mu entered a nearby alley, turned around and ran out from another place, heading towards the Muqiao Lane where he used to live.

All the once dilapidated houses have been repaired, and the pavement of the street is also neatly paved, clean, and has completely lost its original shadow.

But Xu Mu knew that the three of Ye Yingying secretly rented the original house, and would occasionally bring a few little guys over to live there for a few days.

Today, they happen to be here.

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around my door?"

Four five or six-year-old little guys blocked Xu Mu's way.
