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

Chapter 88: Six Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones

"Xu Lang, I really didn't expect you to break through the Foundation Building stage!"

After a few rounds of intimacy, Chi Feiyan's delicate body lazily curled up in Xu Mu's arms. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked affectionately at her lover as she murmured, "It feels like a dream!"

"So, you didn't believe in me at first!" Xu Mu reached out and stroked her black hair, his lips curling into a faint smile. "Then why did you still help me?"

"Of course, it's because you're a scoundrel. If I don't help you, how can I live in the future?"

Chi Feiyan pouted and complained, her exquisite face filled with resentment.

If Xu Mu hadn't broken her secret technique, she wouldn't have been so kind and helpful.

Fortunately, her investment finally paid off.

Xu Mu's advancement to the Foundation Building stage would greatly benefit her in the future.

"From now on, I am yours!"

Chi Feiyan looked at him with deep affection in her eyes.

"What? Wasn't I before?"

"Of course not. Before, I was just your..."

"I still prefer before."

"..."

After another intense battle, Chi Feiyan finally remembered to ask Xu Mu why he had come to find her.

In the past, she had always begged Xu Mu, but now he took the initiative to come to her. She didn't believe it was just for pleasure.

"I want you to help me sell Foundation Building Pills!"

"Foundation Building Pills?!"

Chi Feiyan's eyes widened, and her slender body sat up abruptly, causing her robe to slip off her shoulders like white jade.

"Do you still have Foundation Building Pills?" Chi Feiyan hurriedly asked.

"Of course!"

"How many?"

"Thirty!"

..."

Chi Feiyan's mind went blank, and she could hardly believe her ears.

Instinctively, she began to calculate the value of thirty Foundation Building Pills. The final number made her heart beat faster.

"Where did you get so many pills?"

After calming down a bit, Chi Feiyan asked.

Starting from when she gave Xu Mu the pill formula, it had only been half a year. She didn't believe Xu Mu could already refine Foundation Building Pills.

These pills were most likely obtained by accident.

Could it be that he robbed a fourth-grade alchemist?

"You don't need to know that. Just know that I won't deceive you!"

Xu Mu took out a Foundation Building Pill and placed it in front of Chi Feiyan, causing her eyes to widen. She couldn't help but want to snatch it.

"I can help you sell the pills!"

Without hesitation, Chi Feiyan agreed and then sweetly said, "But, Xu Lang, do I get a share of these Foundation Building Pills?"

"That depends on your performance! If so many Foundation Building Pills appear in the area of the Liyang Sect and get caught, you should know the consequences. I don't want to personally intervene in the end."

Xu Mu's face wore a smile, his tone gentle. But to Chi Feiyan's ears, it inexplicably carried a chill.

She knew that if things didn't go well and their secret was exposed, Xu Mu might kill her to protect himself.

Of course, she could choose not to participate.

However, considering the huge profits of the Foundation Building Pills and the influence they brought, she, who was full of ambition, found it difficult to resist this temptation.

"You can rest assured! If things don't go well, you don't need to take action. I will handle it myself!" Chi Feiyan said firmly.

"I like working with smart people, especially smart and beautiful women!"

Xu Mu smiled and gently touched her nose.

In fact, he couldn't find anyone more suitable than Chi Feiyan. Without her, he would have to handle everything himself.

But with so many pills, how would he sell them?

He couldn't go door to door, could he?

"Well, how will you reward me?" Chi Feiyan's eyes were seductive, her delicate face filled with a conquering impulse.

"After the matter is done, you will naturally receive your benefits! I can also give you a few Foundation Building Pills as a gift!"

After saying that, Xu Mu got up and wanted to leave but was stopped by Chi Feiyan.

"I want it now!"

...

After a long time, Xu Mu left behind a Foundation Building Pill and disappeared.

Chi Feiyan lay there, satisfied, as a beam of white light shone through the crack in the window, illuminating her skin like beautiful jade.

...

For the next month, Xu Mu spent his time at home, accompanying his wife and daughter, except for regularly delivering Foundation Building Pills to Chi Feiyan.

Every night, he shuttled back and forth in the nine caves, enjoying himself.

With the scarcity of Foundation Building Pills, Xu Mu had no worries about selling them. Whether it was those who had broken through the Foundation Building stage or those who hadn't, as long as they heard that Chi Feiyan had Foundation Building Pills, they were eager to buy them, even if they didn't need them at the moment.

Because they could save them for later use.

But if they missed this opportunity, it wouldn't be so easy to buy them in the future.

Moreover, all the Foundation Building Pills sold by Xu Mu this time are of medium quality, much better than the low-quality Foundation Building Pills circulating in the market.

The only trouble is how to select among the large number of buyers someone who is not lacking spirit stones and will not betray.

This is why Xu Mu took the risk of letting Chi Feiyan sell them instead of doing it himself.

If he were to do it himself, it would be fine for a small quantity, but for a large quantity, it would be impossible without an intermediary like Chi Feiyan.

Moreover, this is not the only time, he will continue to sell in large quantities in the future, so sooner or later he will need an agent like Chi Feiyan.

Taking such a big risk naturally brings great rewards.

Under normal circumstances, it costs him at most one high-grade spirit stone to refine a furnace of medium to low-quality Foundation Building Pills, and each furnace can produce four to five pills. But the Foundation Building Pills sold by Chi Feiyan cost at least two high-grade spirit stones per pill.

This is also the reason why there is no room for negotiation in private sales. If it were put up for auction, the price could double.

In this calculation, a furnace of Foundation Building Pills has a profit of ten times.

With such high costs and such high profits, it is no wonder that Tianhe Sect couldn't help but issue a ban.

In any case, Xu Mu made a fortune this time.

After selling thirty Foundation Building Pills, he received a total of sixty high-grade spirit stones, equivalent to six hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

...

After completing the final transaction of spirit stones, Chi Feiyan collapsed into Xu Mu's arms and coquettishly said, "Xu Lang, I helped you earn so much, how do you plan to reward me?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Xu Mu frowned.

"Not enough!"

"..."

After a few more rounds of intimacy, Chi Feiyan finally surrendered.

In fact, while Xu Mu made a huge profit from selling the pills this time, Chi Feiyan also gained countless benefits.

Just the fact that she had Foundation Building Pills in her hands was enough to make many cultivators treat her as an honored guest and easily build a vast network of connections.

Not to mention, she also made a considerable profit from it herself.

Xu Mu knew this very well, but he didn't mention it and continued to calculate each pill as two high-grade spirit stones.

After all, you can't make the horse run without letting it eat grass.

"I have one more thing for you to do."

"What is it?"

"Help me purchase fourth-grade spirit herbs for refining pills!"

Now that he had spirit stones in his hands, it was time to prioritize the cultivation of Body Refining Technique.

...

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

The faint morning light seeped through, and the ink crow emerged from the ground, diving into Xu Mu's sleeve.

Feeling the ink crow inside him without any improvement, Xu Mu frowned.

"Where have all the ghost cultivators been these past few days? Could it be that they're scared and hiding?"

Except for the first few days after returning, the ink crow successfully hunted down several Foundation Building stage ghost cultivators, greatly improving its strength. However, recently, it had gained nothing.

Worried, Xu Mu finished breakfast and brought a gift to pay a visit to Hou Quan at Liyang Sect.

After chatting for a while, Xu Mu learned from Hou Quan that the ghost cultivators had all gone to the area directly under the jurisdiction of Tianhe Sect.

The grudge between ghost cultivators and Tianhe Sect was obvious.

And only by destroying Tianhe Sect could they truly be worry-free. Causing trouble in other sects was only to divert Tianhe Sect's attention and force the cultivators from other sects to support Tianhe Sect.

"If something happens to Tianhe Sect, the entire area will likely become a ghost domain, and there won't be peace for at least a hundred years!"

Relying on the ink crow's restraint against ghost cultivators, Xu Mu could face Foundation Building stage late cultivators without fear. But if he encountered a Gold Core stage ghost cultivator, he would only have to flee.

Currently, the Gold Core stage ghost cultivators were being restrained by Tianhe Sect and wouldn't pose a threat to him temporarily, but no one knew what the future held.

"When I improve my Body Refining technique, I'll take Yingying and the others to Zhufeng City!"

Compared to the chaotic area of Tianhe Sect, the Cangming Sea region was obviously much safer and had better cultivation conditions.

When Xu Mu was in Zhufeng City, he had this idea, but later he met Bai Shimei from the Butian Pavilion, which made him hesitate.

But now, looking at the situation in Tianhe Sect, when comparing the two, he felt that the Cangming Sea region was safer.

There was also another reason. The many doubts about the spatial rift made him worried. He was afraid that if he went there, he would never be able to come back. In this situation, he naturally wanted to bring his family with him. If there were problems with the spatial rift, they could just settle down there.

It was precisely because of this plan that he had stayed indoors recently. Even when other Foundation Building cultivators from Liyang Sect came to visit, he claimed to be in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation and didn't see anyone, just to buy time and not attract too much attention.

After bidding farewell to Hou Quan and rushing back home, Xu Mu quietly waited for Chi Feiyan's message.

Not long after, Chi Feiyan brought some bad news.

She was being watched!

It was still the Purple Stone Alley in Guyang Street, the house that Chi Feiyan rented specifically for secret meetings.

Wearing a light yellow dress, Chi Feiyan knelt beside Xu Mu, her pretty face tense as she looked at him.

"Can you tell the strength of the other party?"

Xu Mu lightly tapped the table with his index finger, making a thumping sound.

"Probably at the early or middle stage of the Foundation Building stage!" Chi Feiyan replied, clutching her clothes.

"How many people?"

"Two!"

Xu Mu closed his eyes slightly, his back naturally straight, his five fingers pressing on the sandalwood table, and he remained silent for a while.

"What should we do now, Xu Lang?" Chi Feiyan couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked.

"Kill you!"
