Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 8 Killing the Crisis
"Ying'er, you stay at home, I'll visit the next door!"

Xu Mu walked out of the house and knocked on the door next door.

creak!

The door opened from the inside, revealing two chubby figures.

A man and a woman, both in their 30s.

The man's name is Jia An, and the woman's name is Li Moqing.

Xu Mu had visited them when he first came here, and would occasionally greet them when he went out, so he was quite familiar with them.

There are only two kinds of people who can become fat in Baishifang City, one is the children of big families in the city, and the other is who has practiced special exercises.

The two lived in shantytowns, and the reason is self-evident.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, why are you here when you have time?"

Jia An squeezed out a smile.

Li Moqing on the side looked a little displeased.

"The little girl's crying has disturbed the two of you these few days, and please don't blame the two fellow Taoists. There are a few Qi Gathering Pills here, so it is an apology to the two of you!"

With that said, Xu Mu handed over the bottle containing the Qi Gathering Pill.

"Air Gathering Pill?!"

Jia An and his wife were immediately shocked.

A Qi Gathering Pill is a low-grade spirit stone, which is worth their one-month rent, and from Xu Mu's tone, it should be impossible to put only one.

"This, this is too precious, Fellow Daoist Xu, please take it back!"

Jia An shied away with his mouth, but he couldn't use any force in his hands.

Li Moqing, the wife next to her, had even brighter eyes, and couldn't help but want to reach out her hand.

Xu Mu smiled and put the elixir in Jia An's hand, which he wanted to take but did not dare to take.

"A small gift is not a respect. If there is anything wrong in the future, please forgive me!"

He only put three Qi Gathering Pills in it, not too much and not too little, but it should be enough to build a good relationship with the neighbors.

"Xu Daoyou is too polite! We are neighbors, we should help each other! It is normal for children to cry and fuss! In fact, we both like children!"

Jia An put the Qi Gathering Pill in the storage bag, and the smile on his face became extremely sincere.

Li Moqing's displeased face also revealed a warm smile.

In the past few days, the crying of Xiaoling'er really annoyed the couple, but it was hard to say anything out of face.

But now.

Ah!
The crying sound is so sweet!
"The two of you can understand, I am very grateful!"

Xu Mu thanked again.

"Friend Xu Daoist!"

Jia An looked left and right at the alley behind Xu Mu, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "I saw you walking very close to Lao Suntou recently, you'd better be careful, I saw the day before yesterday, he entered into the family of the Li brothers!"

"thanks for reminding!"

Xu Mu's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't say much.

Say goodbye and leave!

As for the house on the other side, there is no need to visit, because it is still vacant for the time being.

Back home, thinking of Sun Daocheng's actions these past few days, Xu Mu began to feel restless.

"This old guy must be dealt with!"

Although it was impossible to be 100% sure that Sun Daocheng wanted to harm him, Xu Mu couldn't afford to gamble.

For the sake of wives and daughters, this kind of thing must be killed in the cradle.

He went back to the utility room, opened the newly bought spell book, and turned to the page recording invisibility.

Memorize it carefully, try to figure it out and then start to practice.

Like most low-level spells, invisibility is easy to learn but difficult to master.

It only took half an hour for Xu Mu to learn it.

He borrowed Ye Yingying's bronze mirror and put it in front of him.

Xu Mu squeezed the magic formula with his hands, and the spiritual power surged in his body, transforming into wonderful magic power, covering his whole body.

The him in the mirror just disappeared before his eyes out of thin air.

But after only three breaths, his figure appeared again.

"The time is too short, and it will disappear with a little movement! It's completely useless!"

But this is also normal.

The first-order technique has little effect.

If the power of each is amazing, then everyone has practiced spells, and who will buy magic tools.

Especially in the introductory stage, it is not even as good as tasteless.

Ordinary cultivators give up after a little groping.

What a waste of time.

If you have that time, you might as well concentrate on improving your cultivation, earn money, and buy more powerful instruments.

But Xu Mu is different.

He has a system!

Open the system interface, it really shows invisibility.

[Introduction to invisibility; 1/100]

Xu Mu, who was already familiar with them, directly invested 99 points in it.

[Proficiency in invisibility; 0/200]

It is not difficult to go from beginner to proficient. If Xu Mu works hard, he can reach it in a month or two.

So the cultivation experience can be easily integrated.

During the recent period of continuous use of the system, he also has some experience.

In the initial stage of skills, it is not cost-effective to use luck value to increase.

For normal people to practice spells, it becomes more and more difficult as they go to the back, and there is still a bottleneck when breaking through the level.

Luck value completely ignores this.

A little experience at the beginning and a little experience at the master level consume exactly the same luck value.

In reality, it may be dozens of times more difficult for a master level to increase experience than for an entry level level.

In this case, it is actually the most cost-effective way to practice by yourself when you are getting started, and then use the luck value when it is difficult to improve in the later stage.

But this time, in order to kill the crisis as soon as possible, he can only use luck value.

Xu Mu used the invisibility technique again, this time maintaining more than five breaths, and his body can make small movements.

However, it is still tasteless!

Xu Mu is not only a little hesitant!

If he couldn't achieve the effect he wanted in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of investment.

Take a deep breath, suppress these messy thoughts, and start to improve again.

Now that you have made your decision, don't hesitate any longer.

[Stealth +50]!
[Stealth +50]!
[Stealth +50]!
……

[Proficiency in invisibility; 0/400]

This time Xu Mu used it again, he was able to become invisible for twenty breaths, and he was able to walk slowly.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't achieve the effect he wanted.

Keep improving!

[Stealth +10]!
[Stealth +10]!
[Stealth +10]!
……

【The invisibility technique is complete; 0/800】

This time the invisibility technique finally made a qualitative leap.

Can be invisible for [-] breaths, and will not disappear even if you run at will.

"almost!"

Luck is precious, and Xu Mu doesn't want to spend too much on this kind of thing.

……

time flies

On this day, when the evening was approaching, Xu Mu decided to go out and sell pills in the square market.

Before leaving, he pasted the five forbidden symbols on the four walls and the roof of the bedroom respectively.

"I may come back later today. If there is any danger, you should activate these five talismans immediately!"

"and this!"

Xu Mu took out two amulets and put them in Ye Yingying's soft palm.

"It's dangerous outside, you better keep it!"

Ye Yingying wanted to decline.

Ever since she married Xu Mu, she had never seen him go out at night.

Even though Ye Yingying was pure-hearted, she was vaguely aware of something.

"obedient!"

Xu Mu didn't explain too much, Ye Yingying was still the same as before, obediently.

After oh, he took out another talisman from his bosom.

It was the evil spirit talisman Xu Mu once bought for her.

"Then you take this, it's not safe at night!"

"it is good!"

This time Xu Mu did not refuse.

He remembered the reminder from the toothpaste, and the moldy severed hand.

He has confidence in his own strength.

But for those weird things, I'm really not sure.

"Just close the door, don't lock it, the bedroom door must be locked tightly! I will call you if I come back!"

"Ok!"

Ye Yingying nodded.

A trace of uneasiness rose in my heart.

But she didn't say it out, she was afraid Xu Mu was worried.

After bidding farewell to his wife and leaving the house, Xu Mu hurried towards Fangshi.

After arriving in Fangshi, many shops have already started to pack their things and prepare to close.

Only a very small number of shops are still open, and they have become lively, such as Goulan, such as casinos.

After arriving at the Song family pharmacy, he explained his purpose, and the maid led him into the back hall.

The bald old man is still in charge of the drug test.

Because it had only been a few days, the old man still had an impression of Xu Mu, and he mentioned the signing of the contract again, but Xu Mu naturally rejected it.

Four bottles of Qi Gathering Pills were exchanged for 20 yuan of low-grade spirit stones, and fifteen copies of Qi Gathering Pills' refining materials.

After leaving Fangshi, Xu Mu bought twenty catties of Lingmi and five catties of monster meat at a nearby shop.

It is much more expensive than the stalls in the market, but now that the market is closed, he can only buy it in the store.

After buying everything, Xu Mu did not leave the market immediately, but found a hidden corner and used the invisibility technique.

Then he quietly hid in an alley near the gambling house.

Night falls!

There are fewer and fewer people on the streets, and the doors of every house are closed.

The cool wind blows, rolls up the fallen leaves, flies to the distance, and disappears into the night, as if being swallowed by an invisible big mouth.

In the brightly lit casino, a scruffy figure came out, cursing.

"Today is really bad luck! Before you come next time, you must find a divination master to do the math first! Bah!"

Sun Daocheng spit out thick yellow phlegm, looked at the sky, and hastily quickened his pace.

He didn't want to meet those weird things.

The inside of Fangshi is okay, but outside of Fangshi, hehe, you can only ask for luck.

Walking out of the area covered by the lights of the gambling house, Sun Daocheng squeezed a formula in his hand, boom!A ball of light the size of a walnut appeared at his fingertips, illuminating the path under his feet.

This is a first-order spell, Light Sphere!
Click! Click!

As he was walking, Sun Daocheng frowned suddenly, and looked back sharply.

It was dark behind him, and there was no one there.

"Strange! It shouldn't be time yet?"

Sun Daocheng shook his head, and continued to move forward, but his pace quickened a little.

Not long after leaving Fangshi, an orange light suddenly appeared behind him.

Sun Daocheng was shocked.

He didn't look back stupidly, but ran forward at a high speed.

Five green pills with a pungent smell appeared in his hand, and he threw them fiercely behind him.

Halfway through the flight, the pill exploded suddenly, turning into a large cloud of green corrosive gas.

But he reacted quickly, and the other party reacted faster.

call!
A figure, like a shadow, dodged the poison pill in an instant, caught up with him, and surpassed him.

"So fast!"

Sun Daocheng thought fiercely.

At this moment, a dark red fireball the size of a fist flew out of the opponent's hand and shot towards him.

Danger!

The moment he saw the fireball, a huge sense of fear surged in his heart.

The distance was too close, and it was too late to dodge, Sun Daocheng instinctively activated the life-saving amulet.

A cyan light film instantly covered his body.

He dodged and fled to the left.

next moment!
At that moment, the dark red fireball burst open like explosives.

Boom!

The red flame formed a circular shock wave and violently spread out towards the surroundings.

Snapped!
The body protection technique on Sun Daocheng was as fragile as an air bubble.

It was torn to pieces in an instant!

As far as the eye can see, everything is covered by fire

Sun Daocheng didn't even have time to feel the pain, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

"Who is going to kill me?"

Leaving behind this only thought, Sun Daocheng's body was directly blown away by the impact of the flames.

Pfft!
When it landed, it was already bloody and only half of its head remained.

At the place where the fireball exploded, a half-meter-deep pit appeared on the ground, and the walls several meters away were cracked by the shock.

After a few breaths, the figure that dropped the fireball returned again and tore away the storage bag from Sun Daocheng's waist, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

The sound of the violent explosion spread throughout half of the shanty town, but no one came out of the room to check.

The shantytowns, which were originally quiet, suddenly became dead silent with the explosion.
