Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 9 Counting the Harvest
call!
There is the sound of wind whistling in my ears.

After the blessing of light body, Xu Mu ran with all his strength for the first time.

The strong air resistance made him feel as if he was walking in mud.

In reality the situation is
His figure is like electricity, and one step can cover a distance of several feet, just like walking on the wind.

Fortunately, he was equipped with an invisibility technique, and it was in the dark that no one could see this astonishing scene.

The sound of the wind brought by the body was also covered by the night wind, so no one noticed.

When passing by the alley in front of the house, Xu Mu didn't stop and continued to run forward.

It wasn't until he was about to leave the shanty town that he slowed down.

The moon passes through the dark clouds, casting light, and looking far away, you can see the lush trees of Baihe Forest in the distance.

"I can't go any further!"

Taking advantage of the invisibility technique not disappearing, Xu Mu quickly flashed into an abandoned house nearby.

If the area where Xu Mu lives is a slum in Baishifang City, then this area near Baihe Forest is a slum within a slum.

They have no clothes to cover their bodies, no food to eat, and the house they live in is also leaky from all sides.

The only good thing is that there is no rent here.

Xu Mu hid in the corner of the abandoned house, put his ears up, listened to every move outside the house, and silently counted the time in his heart.

After about half an hour!

Except for Night Breeze and the roar of beasts from the distant mountains, there was no movement.

"It seems that there are no pursuers!"

Xu Mu heaved a sigh of relief, applied an invisibility technique to himself again, walked lightly, and rushed towards the house.

Whoosh!

The night wind kept blowing past him.

The moonlight was once again covered by dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were pitch black.

In the shadows, there seems to be ghosts baring their teeth and claws.

In order to avoid being noticed, Xu Mu could only walk in the dark.

"Next time, maybe you can consider practicing a spiritual order spell!"

Xu Mu thought to himself.

"I remember that there is a far-sighted spell in the spell encyclopedia. I don't know if it is useful at night?"

The dark clouds passed by, the silver-white moonlight fell, and the familiar downturn of the alley had appeared in Xu Mu's sight.

"This time not only solved Sun Daocheng's hidden crisis, but also got a storage bag. Maybe there is something valuable in it. It can be said that the harvest is quite rich!"

Xu Mu, who was curious about what was in the storage bag, walked briskly, quite eager to return home.

But thinking that Sun Daocheng is a gambler and sloppy, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to look forward to.

"But the power of the compressed fireball is far beyond my imagination!"

At that time, he only wanted to kill with one blow, and he didn't dare to hold back, almost compressing the flame to the limit.

Sun Daocheng was killed on the spot, he had no power to resist, even he was almost injured by the blast, the power was comparable to the explosive kit in his previous life.

"The power of the compressed fireball may have surpassed the level of the second-level spells and reached the level of the third-level spells! Not to mention that Sun Daocheng is a third-level Qi training, even if he has five or six levels of Qi training, without powerful defensive means, I am afraid he will be blown up on the spot die!"

"The only regret is that the attack speed is too slow and consumes too much time!"

At that time, he had just started to compress the fireball, and he was noticed by Sun Daocheng. If he hadn't had a high level of lightness technique, he might have been run away by Sun Daocheng.

Sun Daocheng is also an old man, and when he sensed something abnormal, he threw out the poison pill and ran away without any intention of exploring or fighting.

"Ok?"

Xu Mu, who was thinking about things while walking, suddenly felt a little cold on his back.

He turned around sharply.

There is no one behind!
Only the night wind, rolling up the fallen leaves!
There are also clothes discarded by someone's family, hanging on the wall, flying in the wind like mummies.

He quickened his pace anxiously.

The coolness on the back became heavier and heavier, and gradually became a little cold.

Xu Mu didn't know if it was his own illusion, or there was something real, so he could only speed up his pace desperately.

The coldness is getting heavier and heavier, like carrying ice cubes.

Absolutely wrong!
He held his breath and almost ran home like a gallop!

But that icy feeling followed him like a shadow, as if sticking to his back, trying to freeze his whole body.

Spreading his five fingers, Xu Mu was about to release the flames, when a warm breath suddenly came from his chest, flowing all over his body, offsetting most of the coldness behind him in an instant.

At this time Xu Mu had already entered the alley.

A few strides to the door, pushed the door open and entered.

Ye Yingying obeyed his instructions and did not lock the door.

Lock the door quickly.

Five fingers flexed and stretched, and with a puff, a large orange flame ignited.

hiss!
Huoyan turned into a ferocious fire snake, surrounding his whole body.

Xu Mu reached out and touched his back.

Nothing out of the ordinary, just cold sweat dripping down my back.

He reached into his bosom again, and took out the almost burnt evil spirit talisman.

"The shantytowns are really evil!"

Xu Mu was a little startled.

He has lived in Baishifang City for so many years, and he has only heard of it, and this is the first time he has encountered it today.

Although a little startled, but not too much fear.

The situation at that time was just inconvenient to use the fire control technique, otherwise, he would not be unable to kill ordinary evil spirits.

"But in the future, try not to go out late at night!"

If there is only one he can deal with, what if there is a group?
After checking his body up and down several times, and waiting for half an hour, Xu Mu gently knocked on the bedroom door.

"Ying'er, I'm back!"

There was no response from the bedroom, only a red-eyed almond eye appeared through the crack of the door.

After confirming that it was Xu Mu many times, Ye Yingying opened the door cautiously.

"Master!"

Ye Yingying didn't have anything, she just threw herself into Xu Mu's arms and buried her head deeply.

"make you worry!"

Xu Mu gently stroked her ink-like hair.

"Is Ling'er asleep?"

"Ok!"

"Then go to bed early too!"

"I want you to hold me!"

"haha okay!"

Xu Mu reluctantly agreed with a wry smile.

After putting the older ones to sleep, Xu Mu quietly left the bedroom, went to the utility room, flicked his fingers, and a red firebird appeared, hovering above his head, illuminating him.

Take it out from Sun Daocheng's storage bag, after refining, take out the contents one by one.

a book!

A pill furnace!
Two bottles of pills!

Five servings of herbs!

12 yuan low-grade spirit stone!
And some common clothes and daily necessities!

The book is a book of alchemy, which records the three kinds of elixirs that Sun Daocheng knew, as well as his experience in alchemy.

The three elixirs are Jingyuan Pill, Rotten Pill, and Chalcedony Pill.

The role of Jingyuan Pill is to replenish the essence, which belongs to the first-order elixir, and it is said that it is very popular with the frequent visitors of Goulan.

Rotten Bone Pill is a kind of poisonous pill. After successful refining, it can be shot out through special techniques to form a ball of corrosive gas.

Not only can it corrode flesh and blood, but it can also corrode the spiritual power of the practitioner.

The power is not particularly strong, but the attack range is large and lasts for a long time.

At that time, the green pill that Sun Daocheng threw out to attack him was Rotten Bone Pill.

It's a pity that Xu Mu, who was blessed with light body technique, easily dodged without showing any power.

Jade Marrow Pill is the only second-tier pill among the three pills, and it is also the first second-tier pill that Xu Mu has come into contact with.

Chalcedony pill has the effect of improving cultivation talent and enhancing physical fitness, and some big families like to use it to lay the foundation for their juniors.

At the beginning, Sun Daocheng wanted to fool him with the formula and formula of this elixir.

"Reading the annotations of the book, I'm afraid he has only learned a little bit! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so poor!"

However, the reason why Sun Daocheng is poor, apart from his poor academic skills, is probably more due to his laziness, thinking about getting something for nothing all day long.

Otherwise, even if you can't get rich, at least you can live comfortably.

It turned out that Xu Mu's alchemy skills were not much better than his, and he lived in Fangshi and married a wife.

If it hadn't been affected by the battle between the two sects, he wouldn't have come to the shanty town.

It's just that I haven't seen the refining method of Yingxue Pill, which is somewhat strange.

But Xu Mu didn't think too much about it, even if he had that disgusting thing, he would just burn it.

I put away the Dan book and didn't study it too much.

Then pick up the alchemy furnace and start to check.

As an alchemist, his love for the alchemy furnace is deep in his bones.

The more Xu Mu looked at the alchemy furnace in his hand, the brighter his eyes became.

"This is actually a first-tier middle-grade alchemy furnace! This old guy is not as simple as I thought!"

Just now he complained that the other party was not good at learning, but now it seems that it is not what he thought.

His alchemy furnace is a low-grade first-grade spirit stone, and he spent 110 low-grade spirit stones when he bought it.

As for the first-tier middle-grade alchemy furnace, the cheapest one costs 300 yuan for low-grade spirit stones.

If you can afford such an expensive alchemy stove, you must have two brushes on hand
"I should be making a fortune!"

Xu Mu took the alchemy furnace and couldn't put it down.

No wonder others said that the gold belt of murder and arson is really too fast.

"I didn't expect this old guy to be so poor that he would not be willing to sell the pill furnace!"

"But it's true, if he really sells the pill furnace, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive now!"

An alchemist without a pill furnace is not much different from a beggar on the roadside.

Putting away the pill furnace reluctantly, Xu Mu picked up two bottles of pills to check.

One bottle is Rotten Bone Pill and the other bottle is Bigu Pill.

Xu Mu looked at it for a while and put it away.

Lingshi is naturally in the bag.

As for the rest of the clothes, they were completely worthless and were burned by him.

Put the three things back into Sun Daocheng's storage bag.

Then Xu Mu found a place and buried it.

Although I feel that there is no possibility of too much trouble, but for the sake of safety, I decided to hide it for a few days before processing it.

The next day

The autumn sun is warm and comfortable.

Residents in the alleys left their homes one after another, or went to work in Fangshi, or went hunting and gathering in Baihe Forest, each busy.

Xu Mu observed through the crack of the door for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he went back to the utility room and started refining Qi Gathering Pill.

Three or four days passed in a row!
Calm down!

Sun Daocheng's death seemed to have no effect on the whole world.

At least in the alley where Xu Mu was located, no one showed any abnormalities.

Including the Li brothers who Xu Mu always pays attention to.

In fact, Xu Mu considered solving the Li brothers together.

However, these two people are different from Sun Daocheng, their strength is unknown, and their means are unknown. If they make a rash move, they are likely to capsize.

So I decided to look at the situation first, improve my strength by the way, and then find an opportunity to solve it.

……

"Damn! This old guy won't die in that stinky ditch, will he?"

Yaren, who was in charge of collecting the rent, kicked Sun Daocheng's door vigorously. Seeing that there was no response from inside, he cursed and went to the next house.

The rent here is fixed, and unless the rent is paid for several months in a row, they will wait at home when the time comes.

Soon, I received Xu Mu's house.

"From next month, the rent will be increased to two low-grade spirit stones!"

"why?"

"How do I know why? It was ordered from above that if you want to live, you can live. If you don't want to live, you can move to Baihe Forest!"

After speaking, the tooth man turned and left.

Xu Mu looked at the back of the other party, frowning and contemplating.

Originally, he thought about moving back to Fangshi after he became rich.

Now that the prices in the shantytowns have risen, the price in Nafang City may be even higher.

"It's really strange. There are only so many people in Fangshi. They raised the rent so high and drove everyone away. Who will rent it to?"
