Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 31 take care of business
The monk looked down at the portrait, then looked up at him again, frowning deeply.

"Put out your hand and let me see!"

"Yes!"

Xu Mu didn't dare to resist, and stretched out his hand, delicate and tender, comparable to a woman.

No calluses from sword practice!

"Let's go!"

The monk put away the portrait, waved his hand impatiently, and stopped the next passerby.

Only this time the portraits were not taken out for comparison.

"Thank you very much!"

Xu Mu forced a smile on his face, and like an ordinary passer-by, he cupped his hands slightly and walked away quickly.

It wasn't until he walked a long distance that he suddenly flashed into a nearby alley, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the overwhelming turmoil in his heart.

When the other party took out the portrait just now, he had a glimpse and saw the content on it.

On the portrait, is a middle-aged man in his fifties, holding a red gold long sword and wearing a black face scarf.

If not him, who else!
Fortunately, he didn't show any abnormalities just now. Fortunately, after he broke through the level of refining marrow, he was reborn, and his appearance and temperament have undergone earth-shaking changes.

if not--

"The only option is to kill them all, and then take Yingying and Xiaoling'er into the forest!"

As for whether he can escape the pursuit later, it can only depend on God's will.

"It's really lucky this time!"

Xu Mu's heart still had lingering fears, and the back of his spine was still shivering.

"If you do this kind of thing in the future, you must be more careful!"

It's just that he really couldn't understand it. At that time, he did everything he could do, except that he didn't burn his bones to ashes.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a portrait of him, right?

"What method was used, or did I miss some key clue?"

Xu Mu frowned, puzzled.

Although he has lived in this world for decades, he has been struggling on the three-acre land in Baishifang City. In fact, his vision is very narrow, and he doesn't know the methods of high-level practitioners at all.

In the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply decided that if he encountered such a thing in the future, he must beat the other party to death, and beat him to death.

When he calmed down, he left the alley and rushed towards the inn where Lan Shijin lived.

The streets were still the same as before, bustling with people, most of them had murderous eyes and wounded monks.

It is already April, and summer is about to enter.It was the peak time for monsters to appear, and it was also the time when monks were most active and had the highest income in a year.

There are many more practitioners this year than in previous years, so the competition is more intense.

"Next time our team will go inside again. Now we can't even find a single monster hair on the outside. If we continue like this, we won't be able to eat!"

"Now three hundred miles are considered the periphery, and if we go further in, we will reach the range of five hundred miles! There have been fourth-order monsters there before, and the danger is too great!"

"Get ready! After dinner, let's buy a few high-level talismans and find more people. We can't quit just because of the danger! After all, we are not here to live a stable life, but to gain the opportunity to become a high-level talisman." First class monk!"

"Yang Daoyou said yes! You really should fight while you are young!"

"Recently, the flying boats that transport supplies have not come, and I feel that the prices are still going up, why don't we stock up more later!"

"Speaking of this, I regret it, last time if..."

When Xu Mu walked into the inn, the lobby on the first floor was crowded with diners, each of whom was pushing a glass for a change, talking loudly, or burying his head in a big meal, his face was full of greasy food.

The dresses of the people are also strange, some wear Taoist robes, some wear armor, and some wear animal skins.

However, Xu Mu, who has lived here for decades, has long been familiar with the strangeness.

After a casual glance, he walked towards the counter.

"Shopkeeper, I'm Xu Mu, I want to find my friend, she lives in the room at No. [-]!"

"Guest wait a moment!"

The innkeeper summoned a young man and whispered instructions in his ear.

The boy hurried upstairs.

Not long after, Lan Shijin, who was wearing a blue robe, walked down gracefully.

Many diners in the inn stopped their movements and looked away.

With a dignified and beautiful face and a plump figure, Lan Shijin is quite popular.

Especially when she is older!
As for why the older you are, the more popular you are?
You want goods!
You have to taste carefully!

You can feel it!

Seeing Lan Shijin coming down from upstairs, Xu Mu had a look of surprise on his face. He was worried that Lan Shijin had left Baishifang City.

Xu Mu immediately went up to meet him.

"Friend Lan, long time no see!"

"You, you are Fellow Daoist Xu?!"

Looking at the strange yet familiar man in front of her, Lan Shijin slightly frowned, her beautiful face was full of doubts.

When the boy went up to report just now, he had already said that the person looking for her was Xu Mu.

It's just that the gap between the person in front of him is somewhat big.

"It's a long story. If it's convenient for fellow daoists, can we go up and talk about it?"

Xu Mu didn't want to let everyone who had dinner on the first floor know about asking the other party to set up the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Lan Shijin stared at him carefully again, and after confirming that it was probably Xu Mu, she reached out to ask him to go upstairs.

The two quickly entered the inn room.

Leng Yuening, who was sitting in the room practicing spells, saw Xu Mu coming in, and scattered the condensed ice picks casually, with a look of surprise on her face.

She didn't understand why her mother would bring a strange man in?
Didn't he say he was going to see that alchemist Xu?

"Miss Leng, long time no see!"

Xu Mu greeted Leng Yuening politely.

Leng Yuening's eyes widened, and she blinked vigorously twice, revealing greater doubts in her eyes.

She recognized Xu Mu's voice, but his appearance...

"You two don't need to be surprised, it's just that I got a pill by accident recently, and that changed." Xu Mu explained.

He had already guessed that the two of them would be surprised.

Don't forget, Ye Yingying, who was with him day and night, didn't recognize him all at once.

"Elixir?!"

The eyes of the two women burst into light almost at the same time.

Lan Shijin, who has always been calm in dealing with things and has a calm demeanor, is actually slightly agitated at this time.

And Leng Yuening, who had always been like an ice cube, also stood up suddenly from the chair.

Sure enough, as long as she is a woman, she cannot escape this temptation.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you still have that elixir? Can you sell me two pills, and you can prescribe whatever you want!"

"..."

Even the tone of voice is exactly the same.

Xu Mu felt rather dumbfounded.

If he knew this earlier, he should probably change his reason.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, I got that elixir by accident, and there's only one pill, so there's really nothing I can do!" Xu Mu smiled wryly.

"Ah? Well, that's such a pity!"

Lan Shijin's eyes showed disappointment.

Even if she knows how to take care of herself again, she is already 60 or [-] years old. If she doesn't have special pills, or breaks through the foundation building stage, she will age rapidly in a few years.

For women, appearance may be more important than life.

If Xu Mu still had that kind of elixir, Lan Shijin would definitely take it at all cost.

Not to mention Lan Shijin, even Leng Yuening's usually spotless eyes were somewhat disappointed.

"I came here this time to trouble Fellow Daoist Lan, go to my house and help me set up a spirit gathering formation! The cost can be based on the market price. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Lan has time!"

"Have!"

A gleam of joy flashed in Lan Shijin's eyes, and she immediately agreed.

During this period of time, the mother and daughter lived in the inn, and spent a lot of spirit stones. After this period of tossing, there was not much left of their original savings.

Originally, she was thinking of going out to earn some extra money, but Xu Mu came to her unexpectedly.

"That's great! I don't know if Fellow Daoist Lan thinks it will start today, or in another two days?"

"Just do it today!"

Afterwards, Lan Shijin explained to Leng Yuening a few words, then left the inn with Xu Mu, and walked outside Fangshi.

When passing by the entrance, the monks who were searching just glanced briefly, and did not stop them again for comparison.

This made Xu Mu feel a little relieved.

It seems that I have changed a lot, otherwise, with the level of detail in the portrait, I would be easily recognized even with a face scarf.

After leaving Fangshi, Xu Mu asked about Lan Shijin's recent situation and why he hadn't left yet.

"Forget it! Oh!"

Lan Shijin frowned and sighed.

Then she didn't hide it, and told Xu Mu the reason.

The friend she found was really good at the beginning, but when it was time to set off, she started to shirk in various ways.

So far, there is no certainty.

Lan Shijin was worried that the spirit stones she spent might be in vain.

At this moment, Xu Mu suddenly remembered that he had overheard the conversation of Jia An and the others, and it seemed to be mentioned that all the flying boats were requisitioned by the major families to go to the front line, and no one could leave in a short time.

It was precisely because of this that the other party dared to blackmail him unscrupulously.

Otherwise, he will just walk away.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lan. I think the war will end soon. When the time comes, not only will there be flying boats to leave, but the price may be much cheaper!" Xu Mu comforted.

"I hope so!" Lan Shijin sighed softly.

The two walked while talking, and soon returned to the familiar alley.

Xu Mu walked to the door of his house and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard bursts of knocking sounds from the house next door, as well as whispering sounds that made people blush and heartbeat.

Both Lan Shijin and Xu Mu had been there, and they instantly recognized what the sound was about.

On Lan Shijin's beautiful face, there was a rare peach blossom, but Xu Mu's complexion was a little cold and ugly.

He knocked on the door first, asking Ye Yingying to bring Lan Shijin in, and then patted on the door of Li Moqing's house.

"Li Daoyou! Li Daoyou!"

After barking several times in a row, Li Moqing, who was wearing loose clothes and seemed to be able to fall down with a slight tug, opened the door leisurely.

Seeing Xu Mu at the door, she had a charming smile on her lips, and said in a seductive tone: "Friend Xu, I can't wait so soon! He still has guests, why don't you wait for a while! If you really can't wait , I will ask the two of them to see if they would like to add you!"

Xu Mu ignored the other party's teasing at all, and said coldly: "I don't want to hear that kind of voice again!"

"What do you mean by Daoist Xu? Could it be that you are not here to take care of my business?" Li Moqing narrowed his eyes and said angrily.

"My words mean the literal meaning!"

Xu Mu's eyes were cold.

"Humph!"

Li Moqing dismissed it, and said with a cold snort: "This is my house, I can call it whatever I want, can you control me? If you don't want to hear it, move to Fangshi..."

Swish!
Xu Mu's arm popped out suddenly, and without Li Moqing responding, he pinched her throat.

His eyes are bright, with a strong murderous intent inside!
"If I hear the slightest sound again, believe it or not, I will let you lie down in the gutter tomorrow!"

"Gu dong gu dong!"

Li Moqing swallowed lightly, and nodded desperately. Just now, she really felt like she was on the verge of death.

Xu Mu withdrew his hand, turned and went back to his house.

Whoosh!

When Xu Mu left, Li Moqing immediately took a big breath, and it took a while before he recovered.

"You bastard! I..."

Li Moqing was about to yell, but stopped quickly. For some reason, when she thought of Xu Mu's eyes, she felt inexplicable fear.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided not to provoke the other party, but in the future, if I do business, I can only come to the door.
