Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 2 Infant Blood Pill

"what happened?"

Xu Mu hurriedly got up and rushed into the bedroom.

Ye Yingying pointed to a corner of the roof, her face was pale and she was trembling.

Xu Mu held it in his arms, followed his fingers, and looked up.

The next moment, the pupils trembled slightly.

A moldy severed hand was stuck in the corner of the roof!

Fortunately, the hand did not move!
"call!"

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Xu Mu found a wooden stick and stabbed him down.

The severed hand was covered with dark blue mold, as dry as old bacon, and it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Xu Mu endured his nausea and found a piece of cloth to wrap it up.

Get out!

Throw it into the sewer at the entrance of the alley.

Ye Yingying was sheltered by her father since she was a child. She was simple-minded and had no knowledge. When she encountered this kind of thing rashly, she was scared out of her wits for a while. It took Xu Mu to comfort her for a while before she recovered.

"Sir, am I too useless?"

Ye Yingying curled up in her arms, looking at Xu Mu with reddish eyes.

Xu Mu rubbed her little head, and said with a smile, "You just don't see it often, and you'll get used to it in the future."

This is not the peaceful and prosperous world of the previous life, but this is the world of cultivating immortals where the weak prey on the strong and human lives are like grass. No matter how much Xu Mu loves his wife, he can only make her stronger a little bit.

However, she is only twenty-eight years old, and she behaves like this, which is already very good.

At least, she never complained about the hard life, and never blamed Xu Mu for being incompetent.

Although it was just an ordinary-looking severed hand, it still cast a haze over Xu Mu's heart.

Just in case, Xu Mu bought an evil spirit talisman in Fangshi and asked Ye Yingying to keep it close to her body.

The already poor savings are even more stretched.

Fortunately, as long as he can still make alchemy, he can always accumulate it slowly.

In the following days, apart from taking care of his wife's daily life, Xu Mu devoted most of his time to refining Bigu Pill.

After a certain amount of elixir has been collected, it will be sold in shops in Fangshi.

He has been an alchemist for so many years and has a regular cooperative store, so he doesn't have to worry about sales.

It's just that the price of the shop is much lower than the original stall.

However, Ye Yingying was going into labor soon, and he didn't dare to leave for too long. In order to avoid accidents, he could only sell it at a low price.

In addition to refining the elixir, Xu Mu also found some time to practice fire control.

Whether it's the toothman's reminder, the moldy severed hand, or those weird neighbors, they all make him feel deeply insecure.

In order to deal with possible accidents, he must seize all the time and improve his strength as much as possible.

Even if it's just a little bit.

In the room, a palm-sized orange-red flame bird flew out of Xu Mu's hand and slammed into the rocks on the ground.

Bang!
There was a clear sound at the point of impact between the bird and the stone, as if someone had hit it hard with a hammer.

The stone swayed slightly, leaving behind a shallow black crater with burning marks. After the impact, the birds scattered into strands of sparks, flew into the air, and gathered again.

"Unfortunately, it's still a bit worse than Fireball!"

Xu Mu said with some regret.

Fire Control is not a pure combat spell. Although he has cultivated to the level of proficiency, compared with Fireball, Wind Blade is still much less powerful.

However, the real advantage of the Fire Control Technique is not its attack power, but its ability to fight continuously, and its methods are flexible and changeable.

such as
Under Xu Mu's control, the flying bird in the air suddenly turned into a fiery snake, entangled a stone weighing dozens of kilograms, and slowly lifted it up from the ground.

Perhaps it was because the stone slab was too heavy. After reaching the height of half a meter, the fire snake slammed into sparks again, and the stone also fell down with a thud, hitting the ground hard.

The sparks converged again, and this time they did not turn into birds or fire snakes, but turned into a fireball.

The fireball continuously rotated and compressed, from the original orange-red color to blood-red, and finally dark red. Then it fell on the stone, exploded with a bang, and immediately cracked the stone slab.

Xu Mu heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

This is a trick he developed based on his previous physical knowledge. Through flame compression, it forms a powerful blasting force.

The power exceeds the fireball technique!

The only downside is that it takes time to compress, and the flame needs to be re-released after use.

Xu Mu rested for a while, recovered some spiritual energy, snapped his fingers with his right hand, and with a pop, a ball of flames burned at his fingertips.

This is an ignition technique that doesn't even count as a first-level spell. Almost all practitioners know it. As long as spiritual power is injected, the flame can be infinitely enlarged.

It is perfect for coordinating with the performance of Fire Control Technique.

The flames gathered in the air, turned into a new fire snake again, and flew towards the stone.

Such days passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Yingying's day of giving birth was getting closer and closer.

……

Evening
After Ye Yingying had eaten, she felt a little unwell, so Xu Mu asked her to go back to her room to rest first, and was responsible for cleaning up the dishes.

Looking at the bottom of the bowl that was eaten by Ye Yingying, Xu Mu couldn't help another pain in his heart.

"Recently, I have saved some spirit stones. Tomorrow, I will go to Fangshi to buy some spirit rice for Yingying to replenish! I also need to prepare food for confinement!"

Xu Mu frowned, calculating in his mind how to use the few spirit stones to make the most of them.

Just thinking about it, it's still hard to do.

The cheapest spiritual rice in the market, you can only buy five catties for a piece of low-grade spiritual stone, and meat with spiritual energy is even more expensive. Usually, you can only buy two or three catties for a piece of low-grade spiritual food.

Recently, due to the war, prices have continued to rise.

Ugh!
It's really sad for poor and lowly couples!
Just when Xu Mu finished his work and was about to go back to his room to take care of his wife, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

"Who could it be so late?"

Xu Mu vigilantly took out a few talismans, held them in the palm of his hand, and walked towards the gate.

Although nothing abnormal was found nearby during this period of time, he had heard all kinds of terrifying rumors about the shantytowns for a long time, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Who's outside?"

Xu Mu shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, it's me!"

An old voice came from outside.

Xu Mu frowned slightly, judging from the voice, it was an old alchemist who lived at the entrance of the alley.

The old alchemist's name is Sun Daocheng, and he is over 80 years old. Recently, he often came to chat with Xu Mu in the name of discussing alchemy.

It was hard for Xu Mu to refuse when he first arrived, and he also wanted to learn about the surrounding situation from the other party, so he would let him in every time.

However, the other party usually comes during the day and at night, and this is the first time.

Xu Mu looked through the crack of the door, and after making sure that Sun Daocheng was alone, he opened the door, but he didn't let him in.

Sun Daocheng outside the door was wearing a greasy robe, his body was black and gray, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a lot of gum in the corners of his eyes, as if he hadn't rested for a few days.

"Sun Daoyou, is there something wrong with you coming so late?"

Looking at Sun Daocheng who was even more sloppy than before, Xu Mu asked suspiciously.

"There is indeed something wrong!"

Sun Daocheng squeezed out a chrysanthemum-like smile on his wrinkled old face.

He looked inside for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Xu Daoyou, I don't know how long it will take for the younger brothers and sisters to give birth?"

"..."

Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, showing a look of guard.

"Sun Daoyou, why are you asking this?"

"hey-hey!"

Sun Daocheng smiled and rubbed his hands, his eyes were a little fanatical.

"I have the refining method of the Infant Blood Pill, if you are willing..."

"roll!"

Xu Mu's face turned ashen for a moment, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

He had heard from the young couple next door that this old guy was not a good guy, and he had some contact with him only because he didn't know it at first.

It never occurred to him that he had such an idea.

I'm afraid the enthusiasm shown in the past few days was not aimed at him, but at the child in his wife's womb.

"Don't be angry! That's all right, I'll get the rest of the medicinal ingredients, and we'll get half points!"

Before Sun Daocheng could finish speaking, Xu Mu closed the door with a bang.

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Xu, don't be in a hurry! If it doesn't work, we can still discuss it! Otherwise, how about you six and four? If it doesn't work, you can do three or seven!"

Sun Daocheng outside the door yelled a few more times unwillingly.

And Xu Mu had already gone back to the bedroom with a gloomy expression.

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't respond for a long time, Sun Daocheng couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"I can hardly support myself, and I still want to raise children! You must have a sick head!"

The reason why he ran to Xu Mu's house in the past few days was to find out about their family's situation.

It was also because he knew that their family's life was difficult that he dared to come and say such words, but he didn't expect Xu Mu to be so dull in his mind that he rejected his kindness.

"Raising children is a loss-making business. A girl has to marry when she grows up, and you have to support the boy to practice. If you give it to me, you can immediately earn a lot of spirit stones. When the time comes, whether you go to the gambling house , or go to Goulan, and be as happy as you want! What an idiot!"

Sun Daocheng shook his sleeves, turned around cursing and left, and walked towards the house at the entrance of the alley.

Just halfway there, the door on the side suddenly creaked and opened from the inside.

The strong bloody smell immediately permeated.

"Sun Daoyou, since he is unwilling, how about the three of us cooperating?"

Behind the door was a pair of twin brothers with sneering smiles and their faces were as pale as paper.

"This……"

Looking at the two of them, Sun Daocheng looked somewhat apprehensive.

He has lived in this alley for many years and is no stranger to these two people. He knows that one is Li Wen and the other is Li Wu.

It is said that the cultivation method is also very strange, and it needs to suck blood from time to time.

However, he himself is not a good person who can be bullied by others. Although he is afraid of the two of them, he is not too afraid.

Touching his empty pockets, Sun Daocheng finally gritted his teeth and walked in considering the huge debt owed by the gambling house.

Some things are in the shantytowns, but no, if you don't agree, it will be fine.
