Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 22 Spirit Gathering Array

After deducting the pills he consumed, Xu Mu's harvest in the past two months is only six bottles of chalcedony pills and 25 bottles of energy gathering pills.

The reason why there are so few is because he spent a lot of time improving his cultivation and practicing spells.

There is no way to do this, you can't have it both ways.

Among them, six bottles of chalcedony pills were sold to the Song family drugstore, and ten copies of chalcedony pills were obtained, as well as four middle-grade spirit stones.

At the same time, he also got two important news from Su Qing. One is that Fangshi is going to expand, and the shanty town where he is located is likely to be included in it. The other is that the patrol team is going to expand, and the number of people may increase significantly.

25 bottles of Qi Gathering Pills were sold to shopkeeper Tu, who obtained 420 copies of Qi Gathering Pill's materials and [-] low-grade spirit stones.

The price of the elixir has not only not risen recently, but has also dropped, so the price is slightly lower than he expected.

However, with four middle-grade spirit stones and 420 low-grade spirit stones, his income still hit a new high.

With the spirit stone, the first thing Xu Mu did was to go to the bookstore and buy the jade slip of the third-level fire control technique, which cost three medium-grade spirit stones.

In the end, he rushed to the magic weapon shop to buy a magic sword.

Unexpectedly, after looking around, I was not very satisfied.

It's not that the price is too expensive!
Second-tier attack magic weapons, especially relatively simple flying swords, generally do not exceed three middle-grade spirit stones.

The third-order is only six middle-grade spirit stones, and with his current worth, he can afford it even if he gritted his teeth.

The key is that the formations engraved on these magic swords are not to his liking.

For example, the floating formation, traction formation, Xumi formation, and Jishen formation are all necessary formations for normal magic swords, but they are completely useless for Xu Mu.

Because he doesn't need to use the mind control magic sword to attack the enemy from a long distance.

Instead, he is going to hold it directly in his hand, inject spiritual energy, and cut people close.

A second-order attack sword can only be engraved with twelve formations at most, and half of them are those that he doesn't need.

What is necessary for others is a bit of a waste for him.

"Can you order a magic weapon here?"

"Of course! But we can only order Tier [-] magical artifacts for the time being. For Tier [-], you need to make an appointment in advance. As for Tier [-], we don't accept it for the time being!"

"What's the price?"

"It depends on what magic weapon you are making, fellow daoist? There are also formations that need to be inscribed, and are there any special requirements?"

"I ordered a magic sword..."

Xu Mu briefly described his request.

The clerk in charge of receiving him looked surprised, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Guest, do you mean that ten of the formations are engraved with the sharp gold formation to increase the attack, and two of the formations are used to engrave the solidification formation to increase the toughness of the sword body?"

"That's right!"

"..."

Is this fellow Taoist going to kill someone with his hand?

The clerk looked him up and down, and found that he was indeed a bit tougher than ordinary practitioners.

"Guest, your request is a little special, I need to tell the shopkeeper!"

"it is good!"

Xu Mu nodded.

Then the clerk walked into the back hall, and soon after called a tall old man with long beard.

Finally, after discussion, the other party agreed to help him make this magic sword, and he could increase the sharp gold array to fourteen.

Because normal magic swords need to coordinate various formations, in order to avoid conflicts, the number of formations needs to be strictly controlled, but the magic sword required by Xu Mu is relatively simple, and the difficulty of engraving formations is greatly reduced, so two more can be added.

However, because it was made to order and his requirements were quite special, the price was also quite expensive, requiring five medium-grade spirit stones.

And you need to pay two middle-grade spirit stones as a deposit.

"When can I come to get the sword?"

"One month at the latest!"

"Well!"

Xu Mu paid the deposit, got the voucher issued by the other party, and left.

This store is the largest magic weapon store in Fang City, so there is no need to worry about its reputation.

Then he spent 20 yuan in low-grade spirit stones in Zhenbao Pavilion, bought two hairpins, and planned to give them to Lan Shijin and her daughter as thanks for taking care of their daughter during this time.

Then I went to the market to replenish rice and meat, and bought a lot of candy, candied fruit, flour, meat, eggs, vegetables, candles, window grilles and other messy things.

These are the things Ye Yingying told her that she needs for the festival.

At the same time, he also cut a few feet of fine silk, and prepared to take it back to make new clothes for his wife and daughter.

Speaking of clothes, he couldn't help being a little depressed.

He kept saying that he would buy a cassock for his wife when he had money, but after so long, there was still no sign of him.

In fact, a cheap cassock is only 40 yuan for low-grade spirit stones...

never mind!

Let's do it next time!
Before leaving, he unexpectedly met Jia An in the market.

The other party is buying Lingmi.

It's not ordinary spiritual rice with one low-grade spirit stone and five catties, but ten low-grade spirit stones and one catty of Xuanjing rice.

Even Xu Mu was a bit reluctant to eat this kind of rice.

"I didn't expect that the couple are usually frugal, but they are quite generous during the holidays!"

Originally, he was ready to leave, but after thinking about it, he bought a catty himself and gave it to his wife to try it out.

After returning home to put things away, Xu Mu took the hairpin and walked towards Lan Shijin's house.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are too polite!"

After Lan Shijin put away the gifts, she led Xu Mu to the main room and poured two cups of tea.

"During this time, I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Lan for taking care of my wife and daughter!"

Xu Mu took a sip of tea and said

I don't know if I don't drink it, but the other party's tea making skills are really extraordinary, three points better than those in the teahouse.

"We are neighbors, we should help each other, besides, I like them both, especially Xiaolinger!"

The corner of Lan Shijin's mouth was smiling, very soft, like a drizzle, making people unconsciously want to get close.

Today's Lan Shijin didn't wear that blue robe, but a loose white brocade dress, her hair was simply tied up, and she felt lazy and comfortable all over her body.

As for Leng Yuening, she didn't show up.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Mu explained his reason for coming.

"Do you want to set up a gathering array at home?"

Lan Shijin stared at Xu Mu beautifully, showing a hint of surprise.

Through this period of contact, she knows that Xu Mu's income is not low, but the spirit gathering array is a waste of money, and even now she is reluctant to set it up.

"That's right! How many spirit stones do you need?" Xu Mu asked.

"It doesn't take much spiritual stones to set up the formation. The key is that once the formation is activated, it can't be stopped. It needs to consume at least ten low-grade spirit stones every day. Are you sure you want to arrange it?"

"..."

Ten low-grade spirit stones!

In other words, at least 300 yuan of low-grade spirit stones are needed for a month!

To be honest, this consumption was a bit beyond his expectation.

After a final hesitation, he nodded.

It seems that in the future, the sales ratio of Chalcedony Pills will be increased, and the refining of Qi Gathering Pills will be reduced.

In this way, there may be certain risks, but Xu Mu feels that with his current strength, it should be enough to deal with it.

"You are really a good father!" Seeing Xu Mu's promise, Lan Shijin sighed with a smile.

"..."

Xu Mu froze for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Lan Shijin seemed to see his doubts, and frowned, "Don't tell me you set up the gathering array to help Xiao Ling'er improve her aptitude? Children who grow up in an environment rich in aura generally have better talents!"

"Uh?"

In fact, I mainly do it to improve my cultivation.

By the way, let my wife improve her cultivation!

As for my daughter...

"Ahem! Fellow Daoist Lan is really smart, you guessed it right away! If it wasn't for my daughter, I would be reluctant to spend so many spirit stones!"

The arrangement of the spirit-gathering method is not too complicated. It took Lan Shijin only two days to complete the arrangement. Adding up the materials before and after, it only cost more than 50 low-grade spirit stones. Compared with the defensive magic circle he bought Even cheaper.

Of course, it was the reason why Lan Shijin gave him a discount.

Otherwise, it would cost a lot of spirit stones just to hire a formation mage.

The entire spirit-gathering array just completely covers the bedroom, and the range is not very large. If you really want to talk about it, it can only be regarded as a miniature spirit-gathering array.

After the arrangement was completed, Xu Mu immediately experienced the effect.

The first is the environment in it.

Stepping into the Spirit Gathering Formation from the outside world is like stepping into a clean room from a dirty environment.

Even if you don't meditate, every time you take a breath, your whole body will feel comfortable, as if your body and mind have been washed.

Without taking the Qi Gathering Pill, the speed of cultivation can be more than doubled, and after taking the Qi Gathering Pill, it can directly increase to double or nearly triple.

Obviously, the more aura there is, the better the effect of using Qi Gathering Pill.

The seven-month-old little Ling'er, who could sit up, roll over and crawl, suddenly became lethargic after the Spirit Gathering Formation was activated.

From Lan Shijin's mouth, I learned that this is a normal phenomenon.

Babies are less adaptable than adults. It takes a long period of adaptation to change in the environment. However, as they adapt to the environment, their talents will also make great progress.

Anyway, Xiao Linger's talent in the future will definitely far surpass Xu Mu and Ye Yingying.

Moreover, Xu Mu has already planned to feed Xiao Ling'er chalcedony pill after she can eat normally, laying the foundation for her since she was a child.

He has been able to improve so fast during this period of time, and the chalcedony pill has also played a big role.

Moreover, the chalcedony pill is different from the Qi-gathering pill, it can directly improve the talent of the practitioner, it may not be obvious once or twice, but in the long run, the benefits are far greater than the Qi-gathering pill.

The only bad thing is that as Xu Mu took a large amount of chalcedony pill, the effect of chalcedony pill was also weakening.

In the future, he will either change to other elixir, or he can only improve the quality of the chalcedony elixir.

However, if he wanted to refine top-grade or top-grade chalcedony pills, he would need to consume a lot of luck, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"It is still necessary to increase the speed of obtaining luck value!"

He thought of marrying a wife and taking concubines, and then thought of Lan Shijin.

The other party is a widow, I don't know...

Cough!

It's better to wait until the end of this year to see the situation. If it is stable, it is more realistic for Ye Yingying to prepare for the second child.

Time passed, and many of them arrived at the annual Spring Festival.

Every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, which is very lively.

Lan Shijin suggested that the two families get together for the festival.

During the meal, Xu Mu finally saw Leng Yuening smile for the first time.

Don't say it, it's pretty!
