Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 104: I Want to as Well

Leaving the branch of the Four Seas Immortal Palace, the sky was sunny and bright. The streets outside were bustling with cultivators, each one seemingly filled with joy.

Only Xu Mu's mood was somewhat gloomy.

"I didn't expect that after all the hard work, they would impose a quota on me again!"

Although he could somewhat understand that it was to prevent disciples from selling the items, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Thirty portions, just thirty portions!"

Even if he was unhappy, he could only accept it.

For him, the four-star permission was already the limit. It would take too much time and effort to upgrade to five stars, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it in a short period of time.

Fortunately, he didn't expect to make a lot of money from this. He only temporarily used it to make a living.

Although the profit from the Resplendent Youth Pill was not bad, it was still insignificant compared to selling Foundation Building Pills.

However, he couldn't disregard it just because the profit was small.

On one hand, doing so could provide him with some profit in the current situation, so that he wouldn't be too tight on funds. After all, he had a family to support, and the spiritual stones in his hands were flowing out like water. If there were no sources of income, they would soon be depleted.

On the other hand, it was also to establish a new channel.

The top-grade Resplendent Youth Pill was like a cutting-edge product entering the market. Once it gained popularity and established a stable sales channel, selling other pills would be much simpler.

There would no longer be an embarrassing situation where no one wanted Foundation Building Pills.

"But now everything requires me to personally handle it, and it really is laborious. It's time to establish a real family!"

With the four-star permission, he could already purchase islands and establish a family in the core area controlled by the Four Seas Immortal Palace.

With a family, he could cultivate trustworthy individuals and save himself a lot of trouble.

However, purchasing islands was not a small expense, and he didn't have that much money for now.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could also establish a family in the open sea, where there were free uninhabited islands everywhere.

Moreover, if he was willing to establish a family there, the Stellar Gate would also support him.

However, that place was a battlefield between the Sea Clan and the Human Clan. If he established a family there, he would have to live in constant fear.

"But although I can't afford an island, buying a shop is not a problem!"

In the future, when establishing a family, there would definitely be talents needed in all aspects. This could be considered as laying a foundation.

Moreover, he had suitable people on hand right now.

Soon, a grocery store named Baihe opened on a secluded commercial street in Zhufeng City.

The shopkeeper was an old man with a goatee, and he sold everything: pills, talismans, formations, formation tools, and even special food for raising spirit beasts.

Occasionally, wandering cultivators would find good things here, such as top-grade Qi Gathering Pills or low-grade artifacts with powerful but slightly damaged effects, as well as rare spirit medicine seeds.

These things gave this small shop a bit of reputation among the low-level wandering cultivators in Zhufeng City. People would come to visit every day, although they couldn't make a lot of money, they wouldn't lose money either.

This shop was naturally opened by Xu Mu, and the name was just to commemorate the White River Market where he had once stayed. Zhang Shouren was naturally in charge of running the shop.

He had nothing else to do. Besides teaching a few little ones how to read and write, all he could do was play with spirit medicine. When he heard that Xu Mu wanted him to open a shop, he was overjoyed and readily agreed.

"No more being tormented by these brats!"

As the shopkeeper of the medicine shop, Zhang Shouren felt as if he had been liberated.

His own grandson was one thing, he could still discipline him if he didn't listen. But Xu Mu's four children, he really didn't dare to lay a hand on them.

Xu Yin, Xu Sheng, and Xu Xia were still manageable, as they had just come of age. But Xu Ling, also known as Xiaoling, was truly uncontrollable.

Zhang Shouren and Ouyang Ying didn't dare to discipline her, and the three women were too busy cultivating all day to have time to discipline her. As for Xu Mu, he either went out to buy medicinal materials or secluded himself in cultivation, making him elusive.

This has caused Xiaoling to become even more unruly and become a little devil in the family.

In any case, Zhang Shouren is constantly troubled.

Now he is finally relieved!

"Brother Ouyang, I can only rely on you!"

So only Ouyang Ying with a bitter face remained at home.

As for the things sold in the shop, they are naturally provided by several people.

Zhang Shouren can make talismans and cultivate spiritual medicine, Lan Shijin can make and arrange magical tools, and is willing to provide spiritual stones and on-site installation services, don't think too much, it's just normal installation, just like when Xu Mu invited her.

Even without Xu Mu's support, with Lan Shijin's skills in arranging formations, she can still survive, but don't think about Foundation Building.

Ouyang Ying knows a little about everything and occasionally tinkers with some miscellaneous things to sell.

Anyone who can survive independently in a place like Baihefang Market must have one or two things they are good at.

Xu Mu mainly refines pills.

He had given up refining low-level pills, but had to return to his old profession for the sake of the little ones.

Because Xu Ling and the others are too young and cannot consume third or fourth-grade pills, and first and second-grade top-grade pills are in high demand in the market and difficult to purchase, Xu Mu can only make them himself.

Especially the Jade Marrow Pill that can improve one's physique, he directly elevated it to a transcendent level, not only without any side effects, but also improved its effectiveness.

Xu Mu called this kind of pill that surpassed top-grade pills "superior-grade".

It was because of taking these superior-grade Jade Marrow Pills that Zhang Shouren and Ouyang Ying, who were originally unable to advance, both advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Even the progress of Ye Yingying and the others has increased significantly.

Originally, Xu Mu dared not let them consume too many pills, fearing that the accumulation of pill toxins in their bodies would affect their future advancement to Foundation Building.

Now with the superior-grade Jade Marrow Pills, which can help cleanse the pill toxins in their bodies, the number of pills they consume has greatly increased, and their cultivation naturally progresses rapidly.

Because of the discovery of the effects of the superior-grade pills, Xu Mu temporarily gave up the plan to sell the Youth-Retaining Pills.

He purchased two types of third-grade pills that can improve one's physique from the market, one called Jade Dew Pill and the other called Divine Flower Pill.

He invested all the newly acquired Luck points into them, elevating both types of pills to a transcendent level.

For this, he used up the Luck points he had accumulated over two years, and his own strength hardly improved.

However, Xu Mu had no regrets because with these two types of pills, the girls completely got rid of the troubles of pill toxins and entered a state of unlimited consumption of pills, and their cultivation soared like a rocket.

Originally, Xu Mu's savings wouldn't last long if he used them himself.

But if he used them for the girls, it would be more than enough.

In this way, several years passed in the situation where Xu Mu abandoned his own cultivation and fully supplied the girls, and the girls' cultivation quickly broke through to the Consummation stage of Qi Refining.

Then Xu Mu invested the accumulated Luck points into Foundation Building pills, elevating them to a transcendent realm.

Relying on the unprecedented superior-grade Foundation Building pills, all the girls successfully advanced to the Foundation Building stage, except for Su Luan, who had the lowest cultivation and was still in the later stage of Qi Refining.

The only one who didn't have much change was probably Xu Mu himself.

All the Luck points were used up, because he helped the girls refine pills every day, his own cultivation didn't improve much, and he was still at the fourth level of Foundation Building.

At the same time, the spiritual stones on his body were completely depleted.

He had to start the money-making plan that had been put on hold.

But it wasn't without gains. On the one hand, he accumulated a lot of Youth-Retaining Pills and Foundation Building pills, so he didn't have to worry about the source of goods in the short term. On the other hand, he could have children again.

One day, Lan Shijin stopped Xu Mu as he was about to leave...

I! Want!
