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

Chapter 36: The Beginning of Chaos

"You all stay inside the house, I'll go outside and take a look!"

Xu Mu walked out of the house, leaving Ye Yingying and Xiao Ling'er hiding within the defensive formation. He performed a light body technique.

He pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot!

And leaped onto the roof!

Xu Mu gazed into the distance.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse tonight, with a gentle breeze blowing, making it very comfortable.

However, Xu Mu, at this moment, had no mood to appreciate all of this.

His pupils reflected flickering flames and streaks of flying sword shadows.

At this moment, the market had already turned into an ocean of blood and fire, with various cries of killing and the clash of swords and blades constantly ringing out.

"Did the Chi family make a move? Or is it only the Chi family?"

Xu Mu remembered Chi Feiyan's warning during the day.

As for the purpose of their actions, it was self-evident.

To make a final profit before leaving.

The most unfortunate ones were those big families who had lost their Foundation Building stage.

According to Chi Feiyan, out of the original seven major Foundation Building families, there were probably only two or three left with the Foundation Building stage.

Unfortunately, she didn't tell him which ones.

Hopefully, it's not the Luo family!

Xu Mu silently prayed.

"Xu Fellow Daoist!"

Lan Shijin also walked out of the house and landed beside Xu Mu, controlling her flying sword.

A fragrant breeze wafted through, causing Xu Mu to unconsciously rub his nose.

"Does Xu Fellow Daoist know what's happening?" Lan Shijin asked with a worried expression as she looked at the distant flames.

Originally, she didn't believe it, but now she believed eighty percent. If Qinghe Sword Sect hadn't been defeated, this kind of thing would never have happened.

"It's nothing more than for the sake of benefits! It should be a few families trying to make a final profit before leaving!" Xu Mu sighed.

After tonight, even if the Soul Refining Sect doesn't come, the entire Baishi Market will be completely ruined.

Not only Xu Mu and Lan Shijin heard the commotion, but the other residents of the shantytown also heard it and came out of their houses to investigate.

Some people's eyes flickered, some looked astonished.

Some hurriedly retreated back home, while others quietly rushed over.

The chaos in the market was both dangerous and an opportunity.

It all depends on how you see it!

"Xu Fellow Daoist, I want to leave with you tomorrow!" Lan Shijin hesitated for a moment before saying.

In the current situation, there was no way to stay in Baishi Market anymore.

After tonight, the order of the entire Baishi Market would collapse. By following Xu Mu, at least there would still be the protection of the Foundation Building stage.

"That's great!" Xu Mu said happily.

"How about you move in tonight? It's better to take care of each other. I'm worried that there might be danger at night!"

The chaos had just begun in the market, and no one knew if it would spread to the shantytown.

"Okay!"

Lan Shijin nodded decisively.

Since they had already decided to leave together, there was no need to hesitate anymore.

Xu Mu asked the three women and Xiao Ling'er to stay inside the house while he guarded outside alone.

The chaos in the market was spreading as expected. Obviously, in addition to a few big families, many scattered cultivators had also joined in. All the bold people were enjoying this final revelry.

Xu Mu also felt a bit restless, but considering his wife and daughters at home, he gave up the idea of taking risks.

"I wonder if Su Fellow Daoist and Tu Shopkeeper are in danger?"

He didn't know many people, only these two lived in the market.

Su Qing should be prepared for this, and if she could get the protection of the Song family, her safety should not be a problem.

Tu Shopkeeper was also an experienced old hand, so he should be able to survive.

Of course, this was just his personal speculation, and no one knew for sure.

Xu Mu, who was guarding outside, was not idle. He activated the system and began to improve his Fire Control Technique.

Originally, he had planned to wait until his third-level Fire Control Technique reached the mastery level before naturally integrating it, in order to save some Luck points. But now it seemed that he couldn't wait.

For the sake of safety, it was better to improve it first!

So as not to end up dead with the points still intact!

[Third-level Fire Control Technique +10]!

[Third-level Fire Control Technique +10]!

...

The third-level Fire Control Technique, which was on the verge of a breakthrough, quickly reached its maximum level.

[Mastery of the third-level Fire Control Technique; 0/1600]!

[Discover whether Integrated Union skill can be performed]?

The icons for the second-level Fire Control Technique and the third-level Fire Control Technique lit up at the same time.

"Integrated Union!"

Xu Mu didn't hesitate.

A massive flow of information began colliding in his mind, and finally, Integrated Union was strengthened, becoming a brand new third-level spell.

[Integrated Union completed!]

[Please rename the new skill!]

"Third-level Fire Control Technique!"

Xu Mu still used the original name.

However, the new Integrated Union's 'Third-level Fire Control Technique' clearly had much greater power than the original third-level Fire Control Technique.

As the renaming was completed, a new icon immediately appeared on the system panel.

[Master of the Third-level Fire Control Technique; 6217/6400]!

Due to the advancement of Integrated Union, it dropped from the Grandmaster level to the Master level.

However, its power was not weaker than before.

But Xu Mu didn't stop there. He continued to allocate points to the Fire Control Technique, raising it to the Grandmaster level in one go.

A massive amount of experience surged in, causing a momentary dizziness in his brain, which took a while to recover.

At the same time, the golden flame rune on his forehead instantly split into three, combining like a lotus flower, and then quickly disappeared.

Xu Mu didn't notice anything abnormal on his forehead. He only felt that his original flame perception suddenly expanded in an instant, now able to cover an area of hundreds of feet, similar to the range of a Foundation Building stage's divine sense, just not as clear as divine sense perception.

The system interface had now changed to:

[Grandmaster of the Third-level Fire Control Technique; 0/1.28w]!

Xu Mu spread out his five fingers, and a blood-red flame appeared with a "pu" sound, burning continuously in his palm like a viscous blood.

"The nature of the flame has indeed changed!" Xu Mu exclaimed in his heart.

The flames he used to release were orange-red, belonging to ordinary mortal fire. Most first, second, and third-level fire spells released this kind of flame.

But now, he was releasing spiritual fire!

When the compressed fireball entered the second form, it had this color.

The third form was black!

The fourth form was blue!

As for the fifth and sixth forms, he still didn't know.

With the flames entering the second form, both the attack power and cohesion had undergone a qualitative change, greatly increasing his strength.

He didn't need anyone to tell him these things; he naturally comprehended them during the breakthrough.

The only thing he didn't know was the specific power.

He only knew it was stronger than before, but he had to test it to know exactly how much stronger.

"Now, let's compress the fireball. I wonder if it can kill someone at the Foundation Building stage?"

The Foundation Building stage was completely different from the Qi Refining stage.

Not only did the spiritual energy in the body transform into more refined true essence, greatly increasing the power of using magical tools, but it also gave birth to true fire and divine sense. The former could refine pills and artifacts, while the latter allowed cultivators to control multiple magical tools. Even the physical body far surpassed the Qi Refining stage.

It could be said to be an all-around improvement!

Moreover, someone at the Foundation Building stage with divine sense could easily detect any movement within a hundred feet, making it almost impossible to be ambushed.

Even if Xu Mu could condense a compressed fireball that could kill the opponent, he wouldn't have a chance to throw it in front of them.

So this idea could only be a beautiful one.

It was probably impossible to achieve!

But in the Qi Refining stage, it should be possible to kill indiscriminately.

The increase in strength gave him great confidence, and his mind became much calmer when faced with the increasingly chaotic market in the distance.

After improving the Fire Control Technique, he still had over a thousand points of Luck, so he continued to allocate points to improve the Light Body Technique.

However, the Light Body Technique was different from the Fire Control Technique. There was still a long way to go before a breakthrough, so Xu Mu could only add points bit by bit for now.

While he sat on the rooftop, observing the situation in the distance and improving his strength, Li Moqing suddenly sneaked out of the neighboring room and hurried towards the market.

"Has this woman gone crazy?"

Seeing Li Moqing leaving, Xu Mu was very surprised.

Even if you want to take advantage!

You should consider your own strength first, right?

You're just at the third level of Qi Refining, aren't you just throwing yourself into death?

Xu Mu couldn't help but feel speechless.

But he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Whether the other party lived or died had nothing to do with him.

Time passed bit by bit, and shortly after, Li Moqing quietly returned from outside, followed by a young man who had cast invisibility.
