Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 222
The family didn't care too much about Xu Mu's choice, since he was an old man who was dying anyway, so it didn't make much sense to pick anything.

After the two signed the contract, they did not directly arrange accommodation for Xu Mu, but asked him what task he was going to do.

The so-called mission in the contract is not to go to the barren mountains and hunt a monster to solve it.

It's more like a job than a job.

The most trouble-free and easiest way is to refine the elixir, which depends on the level of the elixir, and the quantity to be refined is also different.

At Xu Mu's level, if one were to refine a third-tier elixir, it might take thousands of bottles to complete the task.

The fourth level requires hundreds of bottles, the fifth level is almost a hundred bottles, and the sixth level is about thirty or forty bottles.

Basically, it will take at least half a year to complete the task.

Completing it once every three years is equivalent to taking one break and five breaks.

In addition, there are also management of medicine gardens, teaching apprentices, sitting in shops, etc., which are basically related to elixir.

However, the cycle of these tasks is longer, ranging from one year to as long as three years. The only advantage is that it is relatively easy.

For example, managing a medicine garden does not require you to watch it all day long, usually once every ten days and a half a month is enough.

If the method is clever, you can get a lot of benefits from it.

The downside is that if something goes wrong in the medicine garden, you may be blamed.

Without much hesitation, Xu Mu chose the task of alchemy and Zhuyan Pill.

He is very familiar with refining Zhuyan Dan, he can refine hundreds of bottles in one furnace, and he can complete the task within two months.

Seeing Xu Mu accepting the task of alchemy, the three of them shook their heads again.

This is really not taking your own life as your life!
Alchemy consumes energy and energy. In Xu Mu's case, what is it if it is not death?
However, the three of them were not related to him, and with his stubborn temper, he didn't bother to persuade them, so they died early and passed away early!

I just hope you won't be so stubborn in your next life.

After choosing a mission, it is time to choose a place to live.

It's just that Dantang is not responsible for this aspect, but the internal affairs hall of Xianyue Palace is responsible.

Seeing Xu Mu's old state, the elders of the Internal Affairs Hall couldn't help being stunned for a moment, if not for the elders of the Dan Hall following him, they might have thrown him out.

"Elder Lu, I won't say more, you should know how to do it!"

Elder Dantang gave instructions like playing a charade.

There is no doubt about the role of pills for practitioners, and the status of Dantang is naturally extraordinary, and the internal affairs hall still has to sell some face.

It's a pity that the other party didn't mean to take care of Xu Mu.

To be honest, an old bone like Xu Mu who has no potential at all would not be bothered to accept him if he was not hindered by the rules of the school.

Even if it is accepted, it will be perfunctory at most, and naturally he does not want to waste Dantang's resources.

The price to be paid for cultivating the cave is deducted from the alchemy hall.

The elder of the Neishitang nodded very sensiblely, and then took a map, and after being stimulated by spiritual power, a translucent light curtain appeared.

Most of the places above the light curtain are blurred, and only the peripheral area is clearly visible.

"These are the areas you can pick and choose, and the places that emit light are already inhabited."

"I see!"

Xu Mu is also a person who has lived for hundreds of years, so he naturally saw the small movements of the two of them.

But he didn't bother to worry about these little things, so he glanced around and chose a relatively quiet place at random.

After confirming, Elder Dan Tang gave an explanation, then took his leave and left, while the elder of Internal Affairs Hall arranged for a part-time disciple to take Xu Mu there.

"Elder, this is your residence. If you are not satisfied, you need to go back to the Internal Affairs Hall to discuss with the elder!"

The disciple leading the way was very respectful, after all, Xu Mu was also an elder of the outer sect, and he was just an ordinary disciple.

"I see!"

Xu Mu nodded, then opened the door and went in to check.

The yard is very spacious, close to a thousand square meters, with a training room, alchemy room, medicinal material room, kitchen, bedroom, and utility room. In addition, a half-acre medicinal field has been opened up, and several spiritual plants are planted, the most precious of which is A three-step laurel tree.

If the yard is well maintained, it will not be a problem to earn more than ten middle-grade spirit stones a year.

Xu Mu turned around and saw that there was no major problem, so he let the other party go back.

He doesn't plan to live here for the rest of his life, and when he breaks through to the Golden Core stage, his status will definitely be greatly improved, and the sect will definitely change him to a better place when the time comes, so there is really no need to worry about this.

"According to calculations, this should be the third sect I joined, but this should be the first one to live and practice for a long time!"

If nothing else, he is likely to really stay here for 20 years.

If it can break through the golden core stage, 20 years is nothing.

After 20 years, it would not be a disadvantage to find such a big backer.

After tidying up, Xu Mu went to the alchemy hall the next day to collect the medicinal materials needed for the mission.

In the days that followed, he was either refining alchemy, or cultivating and polishing, preparing to look for opportunities to break through the golden elixir stage.

It was also during this time that Xianyue Palace held a grand ceremony for accepting apprentices, and it is said that they received several extremely talented disciples.

Xu Mu didn't join in the fun. He has limited time and needs to seize every minute and every second to break through the golden core.

But after the ceremony, things came to the door.

"Elder Xu, you can pick a few too!"

The elders of Dantang handed Xu Mu a new disciple.

According to the contract, he must cultivate a fourth-level alchemist within 20 years. Naturally, the sooner the better, the sect cannot let him delay.

So Xu Mu can only bite the bullet and choose, who let him take advantage of others.

In addition to Xu Mu, there are many elders in the lobby who are ready to accept disciples.

Some elders, like Xu Mu, were restricted by the contract and could not accept them. Some elders took the initiative to train some helpers and get some sect rewards by the way.

Xianyue Palace is very generous in this regard, as long as it can cultivate excellent disciples, all aspects of welfare can be raised.

Xu Mu had just joined, and his status was not high, so the order of selecting disciples was ranked last.

After the selection is made, one day will pass.

Xu Mu took in a total of two apprentices, both in the late stages of Qi training, one named Ye Bufan and the other Xiao Feng.

The reason why they were chosen was not because of their talents. In fact, when it was his turn, there were no good seedlings.

Mainly because of the name, these two people are the protagonists when they hear the name.

So in the case of choosing everyone the same, I simply picked two nice names.

Both of them are in their 20s, and their cultivation talents can only be considered average among the disciples of Xianyue Palace. It is not a problem to build a foundation in the future, but that is all.

When new disciples start, old disciples with little potential like them can only be shunted. They can either go down the mountain and become stewards of the outer sect, or they can only change to auxiliary professions, becoming alchemists, talisman makers, and formation masters, which can be regarded as another way.

Back at the residence, he casually threw a few alchemy books to the two of them, and asked them to study alone. Xu Mu continued to retreat and refine his cultivation.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, Xu Mu felt that his cultivation had been polished enough, and he was ready to try to break through the golden core.
