Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 34
In midsummer, there was a lot of rain. It has been raining for three consecutive days in Baishifang City, and there is still no sign of stopping.

The ground is full of muddy water, and the muddy roads make it almost impossible for ordinary people to walk.

Wearing a blue Taoist robe, Xu Mu knocked the mud on his feet, stepped on a solid bluestone slab, held an oiled paper umbrella, and walked through the entrance of Fangshi.

He looked around, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"How do you feel that there are many fewer people than before?!"

It was not before that there was no continuous heavy rain, and this situation did not occur.

Could it be that the major families have already started to leave?
Didn't hear the news?

Feeling a little strange in his heart, Xu Mu quickened his pace and walked towards the agreed teahouse.

"Friend Xu! This way!"

Before Xu Mu reached the place, he saw Su Qing in green clothes standing at the door of the teahouse, waving to him.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you are too polite! You are still waiting for me outside!" Xu Mu laughed.

The two also dealt with each other many times, and their conversations were not as stiff as before.

"Don't talk about this! People have already arrived, it's in the box on the second floor, go in by yourself! I have something to do, so I'll leave first!"

Su Qing said and was about to leave, with a bit of melancholy on her brows, without the smile she used to have, and she didn't know if she had something on her mind.

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't rush to leave! You have to tell me who that person is, right?!"

"You will know when you go up! As for whether you see me or not, I'm just passing on a message!"

Su Qing performed a body protection technique, seemed a little angry, turned around and walked into the rain without looking back, leaving Xu Mu with a graceful back.

"What?"

Xu Mu was a little puzzled.

He didn't seem to offend the other party.

With a hint of doubt, Xu Mu walked into the teahouse.

The teahouse, which was lively in the past, only had a few people at this time, and it seemed particularly deserted.

Stepping up to the second floor, someone was already guarding the entrance.

It was a middle-aged man with a stern expression wearing a black robe.

"Fellow Daoist is Xu Mu, Alchemist Xu, right?" said the cold middle-aged man with a serious look.

"Not bad! Who is a fellow daoist?"

"Fellow Daoist, please, my lady is waiting inside!"

The middle-aged man didn't answer Xu Mu's words, but just stretched out his hand to invite him in.

Xu Mu frowned, a little hesitant.

Although the strength of the people in the induction is not strong, an unknown person always makes him a little bit afraid.

What's more, the middle-aged man in front of him who looks like a servant is in the late stage of Qi training.

How can a person be a servant in the late stage of Qi training, how can he be an ordinary person.

It's just that Su Qing said when he came that the other party had something very important to tell him, which was a matter of life and death, otherwise he wouldn't have come at all.

"Alchemist Xu, don't worry, my young lady is not malicious!"

Seeing Xu Mu hesitate, the middle-aged man said calmly.

Xu Mu grinned dumbly, and all of them came, and followed the middle-aged man into the box.

There was only one woman in the room.

In his 20s, wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, long ink-like hair, high and bulging, fixed with a sword-shaped dark gold hairpin, willow-leaf eyebrows, like star eyes, and a delicate face like a lady painted by a painter.

"Little girl Chi Feiyan has met Alchemist Xu! Thank you Alchemist Xu for providing the pills during this time!"

The woman stood up with a soft smile and proper etiquette.

"Fellow Daoist, you're being polite. I'm just using money to do things. Even if I'm not a fellow Daoist, I'll sell it." Xu Mu said lightly.

He didn't know each other, and he didn't want to make friends with each other.

But hearing the other party's surname Chi, Xu Mu already roughly knew the other party's identity.

Chi Feiyan was not angry either, and said with a faint smile, "I called Fellow Daoist to come over today to ask Fellow Daoist, would you like to leave with our Chi family?"

"Why should I leave with you?"

Xu Mu was a little puzzled.

He lived well here, why change the environment and start over.

"The Qinghe Sword Sect is destroyed, and the Soul Refining Sect will come soon. Is Master Xu really not leaving?" Chi Feiyan said lightly.

"What did you say?!!!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.

The Qinghe Sword Sect was destroyed?

The Soul Refining Sect is coming soon?
What is this all about?

Didn't it mean that the Qinghe Sword Sect was about to win and the war was about to end?
Isn't it April Fool's Day today?

Xu Mu felt that his head was not enough.

Chi Feiyan didn't seem surprised by Xu Mu's reaction, because when she first heard the news, everyone had the same reaction, including herself.

"The Soul Refining Sect used the peace talks as a bait to set up the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Formation, which will wipe out almost all the elites, including the ancestor of the Qinghe Sword Sect's Golden Core.

"The Soul Refining Sect should have broken through the Qinghe Sword Sect's mountain gate by now, and will soon divide up its forces to raid all the major squares and cities!"

"With the current strength of Baishifang City, it is impossible to resist!"

"Soul Refining Sect cultivates the way of controlling the soul and refining the soul. The qi, blood and living soul of the practitioners are the best materials for their cultivation. For Baishifang City, this is definitely a catastrophe!"

Chi Feiyan looked at Xu Mu and said calmly.

"Why haven't I received any news?"

Xu Mu frowned and still didn't believe it.

Even if the other party swears.

"If even you knew, would Baishifang City still be so peaceful?" Chi Feiyan asked back.

"..."

It seems that it is!

He is either practicing or refining alchemy every day, so the number of times he comes out is rare, and the channels for obtaining information are very single.

If even he knew about it, then at least half of the people in Baishifang City knew about it.

Xu Mu hesitated and struggled, wondering whether he should agree or not.

The news came so suddenly that he wasn't even mentally prepared.

The reason why the other party brought him along was because he knew how to make alchemy. If he followed him, he would definitely be bound when he arrived.

But if he didn't leave, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of surviving the sweep of the Soul Refining Sect.

Even if they can survive the raid, without the support of the sect, Baishifang City will soon become a paradise for monsters.

"Don't Tianhe Sect care?" Xu Mu said unwillingly.

After finally getting used to the environment here, he really didn't want to change unless necessary.

The Qinghe Sword Sect is a vassal force of the Tianhe Sect. If the Tianhe Sect steps forward, it will be easy to regain the Qinghe Sword Sect's territory.

"I don't know if the Tianhe Sect will come forward, but even if the Tianhe Sect comes forward, it will not be able to quench the near thirst!" Chi Feiyan shook his head and said.

"If Fellow Daoist Xu is willing, you can bring your family and meet us at the entrance of Baihe Forest tomorrow! We will set off after Chen!"

"tomorrow?"

Is this too fast?

Xu Mu, who was still a little unbelievable at first, now believes a little more.

If it wasn't an emergency, the other party couldn't have left in such a hurry.Moreover, starting from Baihe Forest is obviously not going to the territory of Qinghe Sword Sect.

"Dare to ask Fellow Daoist Chi, where are you going?"

"The Liyang Sect is three thousand miles away!"

"Three thousand miles?!!"

He didn't know where Li Yangzong was, but a trip of three thousand miles was enough to make his scalp tingle.

Traveling through the wilderness and forests of three thousand miles is no joke.

Monsters, poisonous insects, dangerous places, miasma, any one thing is enough to make them go and never return.

"You Daoist Chi allow me to go home and discuss it with my wife. Whether I go or not, I will give you an answer before tomorrow's hour!"

"Of course, I'll just wait for the good news!" Chi Feiyan smiled and cupped his hands.

She could see that the other party was already moved, and she would agree to this matter in all likelihood.

"By the way! I have two friends, can I bring them together?"

Xu Mu thought of Lan Shijin's mother and daughter.

If you can bring two people with you, you can take care of each other.

"Of course!" Chi Feiyan readily agreed.

Just as Xu Mu was about to leave, he thought of Su Qing again, so he asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Su leave with us?"

"She is too weak and worthless, bringing her will only be a burden!"

Chi Feiyan didn't hide it, and said directly.

She and Su Qing are also in a cooperative relationship.

She bought Xu Mu's elixir from the other party at a high price, and got to know Xu Mu through the other party, not because of any friendship, but because of the spirit stone in her hand.

"..."

Xu Mu finally understood why Su Qing had that expression.

Anyone who is abandoned by others will not feel good.

As for the Song family, they probably wouldn't take her with them.

After all, there must be more people in the Song family.

"Then I'll say goodbye first!"

Xu Mu was about to leave when Chi Feiyan suddenly said something thought-provoking.

"Prince Xu, don't go out tonight!"

"thanks for reminding!"

Although the other party's words were somewhat inexplicable, Xu Mu didn't ask too much, because if the other party wanted him to know, he would definitely tell him. If he didn't say it now, he didn't want him to know.

After Xu Mu left, the middle-aged man asked a little strangely: "Miss, why are you so tolerant to him? Didn't the Patriarch say that each person can only bring two people?"

The journey is long this time, and it will be more dangerous to bring one more person with you.

In the wilderness, the more people the better.

"Of course it's because his talent is good enough! Seeing that he is only in his 40s, he has a great chance of becoming a third-level alchemist in the future. We are fleeing to the Liyang Sect this time. Potential alchemists, it will be much more convenient!"

Chi Feiyan stood in front of the window, looking at Xu Mu who disappeared into the rain, and said leisurely:
"If you are really in danger, isn't it a good abandonment!"
