Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 24
call!Suck!
The rich spiritual energy in the spirit-gathering formation swarmed towards Xu Mu's body and merged with the circulating spiritual energy.

The running speed of spiritual power in the meridians is getting faster and faster, and soon breaks through a certain limit.

Boom!

It was as if an invisible wall was suddenly broken, the spiritual power increased rapidly, the meridians were rapidly expanded, the spirit was suddenly shocked, and the range of flame perception increased by a circle.

In his perception, someone walked into the main room and was chatting with Ye Yingying.

"Fifth level of Qi training! Finally broke through!"

This speed of cultivation, in the past, did not even dare to think about it.

After running for a few weeks and consolidating his cultivation, Xu Mu couldn't wait to get out of the room, ready to share the joy with his wife.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Lan Shijin with a somewhat melancholy brow.

Only then did I remember, the person who just perceived it.

Temporarily suppressing the urge to share, Xu Mu asked, "Fellow Daoist Lan, did you not get a boat ticket?"

"no!"

Lan Shijin raised her head slightly, returned the little Ling'er in her arms to Ye Yingying, and shook her head at Xu Mu with a wry smile.

From the beginning of spring to the present, she went to Fangshi to inquire almost every day, but every time she failed.

Either there is no space on the flying boat, or there is no flying boat to leave for the time being.

Even if she entrusted her relationship, it would still be useless.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, don't worry. It is estimated that there are more people from those big families who have relocated. After this busy period, there will definitely be some." Xu Mu comforted.

"I hope so!"

Lan Shijin sighed.

Just judging from the news she inquired during this period, it seems that things are not as simple as imagined.

"Fellow Daoist Lan went to Fangshi today, did you find any news about Qinghe Sword Sect and Soul Refining Sect?"

"No! It seems that no one has come from other places recently, and the members of the Foundation Establishment Clan also live in seclusion. Regarding the battle between the Qinghe Sword Sect and the Soul Refining Sect, they never mention it!"

This is also what worries her. She originally thought that the war would end, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

While the two were talking, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside the house.

Xu Mu went out to check, and Lan Shijin and Ye Yingying, who was holding the baby, also followed out, wanting to see what was going on.

In the alley, Jia An led a few patrolmen, holding a gong in his hand, and knocked as he walked.

Hearing the movement, almost every household opened the door and came out to check.

"Dear fellows, neighbors! I have an important announcement to announce to you all today!"

Seeing that the people came out in a similar manner, Jia An clasped his hands and said loudly.

"Starting today, Fangshi will no longer provide salaries for the patrol team. If you still want to get the protection of the patrol team, you need to hand in the spirit stone yourself!"

"Not many, each household only needs one low-grade spirit stone, and if the family members join the patrol team, they can be exempted!"

"Of course, this kind of thing is entirely voluntary. If you feel that you have the ability to protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't hand it in!"

"After I have notified the news, I will start collecting spirit stones from door to door. I hope everyone is prepared!"

After finishing speaking, Jia An smiled, led the people out of the alley, and continued to the next alley to inform.

With Jia An's departure, the whole alley was blown up.

"Is there a mistake? The patrol team actually wants us to raise it by ourselves? Could it be that our monthly rent is handed over to Wei Wei at night!"

"Didn't they say it's all voluntary! Just don't pay it!"

"That's right! We only have a few spirit stones a month! After paying the rent, we can't even afford to eat, so we still have money to support them!"

"Don't you guys know what Fatty Jia is? And that old horse, they're cowards, it's really dangerous. It's good to be able to keep ourselves! And expect them to protect us! Pooh!"

"Hahahaha!"

They are all in the same alley, not to mention knowing the basics, but they also know about Jia An and Ma Rui.

In a real fight, half of the people present could beat the two of them to their knees and beg for mercy.

If it weren't for the tiger skin of the patrol team, no one would look down on them at all.

Hearing someone's comment at this time, everyone burst into laughter.

Especially among the sharp-tongued women, each of them was worse than the other when they were teased.

"If you want me to say, since Fangshi doesn't give out their salary, it's over for this idiot patrol team to disband directly! The province is dangling in front of your eyes, let the old lady pour a basin of water to wash your feet, and wait for them to leave!"

"Good! Good! I have to pee out of them..."

The more people talk, the further they go.

The response words were full of contempt for the patrol team. Judging by their attitude, no one planned to hand over the spirit stones.

However, this is no wonder others!
I don't know if it's because they all left the same relationship as Jia An. Compared with the patrol team in Fangshi, the newly established patrol team is indeed a straw bag among straw bags.

Compared to other people's indifference, Xu Mu couldn't help frowning when he returned to the house.

Maybe it was persecution paranoia, maybe it was too cautious, Xu Mu always felt that things were not that simple.

Jia An is definitely not a fool.

He should be very clear about his own image.

But when Xu Mu saw Jia An's reaction just now, he didn't seem to care too much, and he felt confident.

"Friend Lan, please take care of Yingying for me, I'll go to Fangshi!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, don't worry!"

Lan Shijin probably guessed what Xu Mu wanted to do, and nodded happily in agreement.

With the elixir refined in the last month, Xu Mu walked out of the alley and walked quickly to Fangshi. On the way, he met Jia An who was promoting again, but the other party didn't see him.

After arriving in Fangshi, Xu Mu went directly to Song's drugstore and found Su Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Su, do you know about the patrol team?"

Xu Mu told Su Qing what he heard.

"I heard! The Sword Sect is preparing to launch a counterattack against the Soul Refining Sect recently. The major families in our city have dispatched a large number of people to support them. They don't have enough energy to manage them for a while, so they share the rights and let them Sustain by yourself!" Su Qing said.

"Self-sustaining?"

It is equivalent to saying that the patrol team in the shanty town has become an independent organization, or a force.

Xu Mu never expected that this would happen.

"What about the spirit stones, do you think you should pay them or not?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu shouldn't be short of those spirit stones!" Su Qing said with a smile: "In my opinion, it's better to spend money and eliminate disasters! Although the big families no longer control the patrol team, there are still many cronies of the big families inside." , It is said that there is another big person, there is no need to offend them for a few spirit stones! And when the war is over, they will definitely be included, offending them now, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future!"

"Fellow Daoist, do you think you can win this time?" Xu Mu asked in a low voice.

As for Lingshi, he didn't really care too much about it.

As Su Qing said, he is not short of these few Lingshi.

On the contrary, he paid more attention to the battle between Qinghe Sword Sect and Soul Refining Sect.

The Qinghe Sword Sect actually planned to counterattack the Soul Refining Sect. To be honest, he really didn't expect that,
Years ago, the Qinghe Sword Sect could only shrink back after being beaten, and lost a lot of territory. To be honest, if they can keep undefeated, they should burn incense.

As a result, at the beginning of the year, he was actually able to fight back.

The contrast before and after this is really surprising.

"It should be no problem! I heard that Tianhe's main sect has sent masters over!"

There was a bright smile on Su Qing's face, and the beauty mole at the corner of her eye, along with the raised corner of her eyebrow, revealed a different charm.

If the Qinghe Sword Sect wins, it means the Song family wins, and her job and life will be preserved.

"I see!"

A smile appeared on Xu Mu's face.

With the addition of the Master Sect, even if the battle situation won't get better, at least it won't get worse.

In this way, he can continue to improve his strength steadily.

After replacing the elixir with spirit stones and medicinal materials, Su Qing suddenly handed him a communication talisman when he was about to leave the house.

"Xu Daoyou, next time you sell pills, you can contact me directly, you don't need to come to the store!"

"Friend Su, this is..."

Is this going to dig the corner of your own house?
"I will accept the price according to the market price!" Su Qing whispered.

"no problem!"

There is no reason not to make money with spirit stones, even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with him.

He is just an alchemist, and he can sell the elixirs he has practiced to whoever he wants.

The reason why I came to the Song Family Pharmacy was because the store was big, affordable, and reputable, so I didn't have to worry about being hacked.

So he didn't ask, why did Su Qing buy his elixir at a high price?
After leaving the pharmacy, Xu Mu went to shopkeeper Tu again, sold a small amount of Qi Gathering Pills, and at the same time inquired about the patrol team and the two sects.

It's a pity that although shopkeeper Tu is a shopkeeper, he doesn't know as much news as Su Qing, a maid. There are only some half-truths and half-false news.

After chatting with shopkeeper Tu for a few words, he went to the market to replenish his daily necessities, and then headed home.

As for the spell jade slip, his current savings are enough to buy a few more, but there is no need for that, just a third-level fire control technique is enough for him to practice for a long time.

Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait for the fusion of the two Fire Control Techniques.

Even if he bought it now, he has no time to practice,
There is also the cassock, originally he had thought about it, but in the end he decided to forget it.

It's better to keep a low profile for the time being!

Just wait until there are more spirit stones in the future, and just buy a good one.

When he returned to his residence, he happened to meet Jia An bringing someone to collect the spirit stones.

"Friend Xu Daoist!"

Jia An greeted him with a smile.

It's just that the smile is a little less honest than before, and a little more like an old fox
"Friend Jia Dao!"

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Xu Mu also politely returned the gift, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Jia, have you finished all the previous ones? I wonder how many people are willing to hand in?"

"No one is willing to hand it in!" Jia An said with a wry smile.

Then he looked at Xu Mu and asked, "I don't know if Fellow Daoist Xu wants to hand it over?"

"I'll pay!"

Xu Mu took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it over.

"Ok?"

Not only Jia An was surprised, but even Ma Rui and the others who followed were full of disbelief.

Obviously, he didn't expect Xu Mu to be so obedient.

But after being surprised, Jia An did not reach out to pick it up, but shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are different from others! Others get one piece, but you get two!"
