Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

"Hungry? Didn't I just finish eating?"

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.

It is likely that the system is extracting the ability from his body to strengthen his physical fitness to adapt to the performance of Thunder Sword Technique.

"It looks like what I guessed. Physical swordsmanship can indeed strengthen physical fitness in disguised form, but I need to pay the price of strengthening myself!"

Although there are some flaws, Xu Mu is already very satisfied.

He took out the Bigu Pill that he snatched from Sun Daocheng, checked it, and took one pill.

"try again!"

Click to add points!

[Thunder Sword Skill +10]!

The Bigu Pill that had just entered the stomach was completely digested in an instant.

The feeling of hunger is much stronger than before.

"It seems that the energy contained in Bigu Pill is indeed much worse than that of monster meat and spiritual rice!"

"Fortunately, compared to spiritual rice and monster meat, Bigu Pill is more convenient to take!"

This time Xu Mu ate two pills directly.

[Thunder Sword Skill +10]!

This time, in addition to a faint feeling of hunger, there was also a strange feeling of tightening muscles throughout my body.

He took off his shirt and inspected it.

The body is thin and has no muscle lines as expected.

"Is the improvement too small, or is it my misunderstanding!"

He took Biguk Pill again.

[Thunder Sword Skill +10]!

Looking down again, it seems that there has indeed been a slight change.

He waved his arms gently and could feel a sense of fullness and strength.

"There's an improvement! But not much!"

Eat all the remaining Bigu Pills.

[Thunder Sword Skill +20]!

Buzz!

This time there was finally a big change. Xu Mu saw that the muscles all over his body were squirming slightly, like little mice.

When everything calms down, you can see a trace of less obvious muscle lines.

Looking at it as a whole, he no longer looks skinny, but looks more capable.

Standing up again, a flaming sword condensed in his hand. Xu Mu waved the sword with great force, as if he had been practicing hard for several months. His breathing method and moves seemed precise.

"Yes, with my current skills, even if I don't use spiritual power and magic, it is easy to defeat five or six ordinary people."

For a bottle of Bigu Pill and a meal, you can get a strong body. Xu Mu is very satisfied with the result.

Unfortunately, the room was too small and I couldn't test the effects of the weight-loss surgery.

besides--

"Hungry again!"

There was no Bigu Pill in hand, so Xu Mu had to go back to the kitchen and ate all the remaining food, barely half full.

"Practice swordsmanship consumes too much food!"

"This is just the initial stage of physical training. Later it involves skin membrane, muscles, bones, internal organs, bone marrow, and blood. I'm afraid the consumption will be even greater!"

This is the state recorded in Thunder Swordsmanship. Through continuous training, the body's strength is completely coordinated, and the whole body's strength can be exploded with a random movement, unleashing the full power of the swordsmanship.

If your physical fitness cannot keep up, and you use swordsmanship rashly, you will not only fail to hurt others, but you will also hurt yourself.

"Another big money maker!"

Xu Mu sighed in his heart.

But it was all worth it to save my life.

What I'm afraid of is that even if I have money, I can't improve my strength.

The Thunder Swordsmanship at this time is entry-level; 60/100, and there are still 40 points left to advance to the proficiency level.

There are still 3,495 luck points left.

For the next half month, Xu Mu concentrated on refining elixirs at home.

He increased his firebending skills by another five hundred bit by bit, and he was now a master; 1051/3200, and his attack power and control were further improved.

After he had almost eaten all the food at home and used up all the medicinal ingredients for the fifteen Qi Gathering Pills, he had to leave the house.

"Stay at home and wait for me to come back, remember what I told you!"

"Um!"

Ye Yingying hugged the child and nodded heavily. Only then did Xu Mu feel relieved and left the house.

And just as Xu Mu walked out of the alley, two pairs of eyes stared at him for a long time through the crack in the door.

Not long after leaving the alley, they arrived at the place where they attacked Sun Daocheng half a month ago. Xu Mu unconsciously slowed down and observed without leaving any trace.

The large hole in the ground has been filled in, and the cracks in the walls on both sides have been briefly repaired. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell.

As for Sun Daocheng's body, it has disappeared. I don't know if it was taken away by the patrol team in Fangshi.

Seeing all this, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Daocheng's death did not attract the attention of city managers, which was the best outcome.

But after feeling happy, Xu Mu became worried again.

If Sun Daocheng could be killed by him without any explanation, would one day he could also be killed by others without explanation?

Shantytowns are not safe!

It is still necessary to increase the strength as much as possible and strengthen the home. Just a few sealing talismans are not enough. It is best to buy a set of formations.

Of course, Xu Mu's greater wish is to move to the center of Fang.

There are patrols patrolling there all day and night, making it much safer than in shantytowns.

"But now the rent in the city center has probably risen to sky-high prices, and there may not be any vacant houses!"

After Xu Mu entered Fangshi, he found that there were many more people on the streets than before.

It’s crowded and lively!

"It's a monk from outside!"

After careful observation, Xu Mu found that the clothing of many monks was quite different from the monks in Baishifang City.

He remembered what his neighbor Jia An said half a month ago.

"Those who can escape from the front line to Baishifang City are probably those who are not short of money. No wonder the managers of Baishifang City dare to increase the rent so high!"

Xu Mu walked through the streets, carefully avoiding each cultivator.

Although he has some strength, he has not yet reached the point of walking sideways.

When I arrived at the Song Family Pharmacy, I straightened my clothes and walked in.

"Fellow Taoist, are you here to sell Qi Gathering Pills again?"

Xu Mu did not expect to meet again the maid with the beauty mark who received him for the first time, nor did he expect that the other party would still remember him.

In this way, Xu Mu unconsciously felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

"Not bad! Please ask fellow Taoist to lead the way!" Xu Mu said politely.

"this way please!"

The maid enthusiastically led him to the back hall.

"My dear, Xu Mu, you still don't know your friend's name?"

"My name is Su Qing!" the maid smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Su, do you know how the recent battle between our Qinghe Sword Sect and the Soul Refining Sect is going?"

Although Su Qing is just a maid, with the Song Family Pharmacy as her back, she must know a lot of inside information that outsiders don't know.

"this……"

Su Qing was a little hesitant, not sure whether to say it or not.

After all, the Song family is a vassal family of the Qinghe Sword Sect, and she is equivalent to a member of the Song family. If she said bad things about the Qinghe Sword Sect and people knew about it, she might not be able to keep her job.

"A small gift, please don't dislike it, Miss Su!"

Xu Mu saw Su Qing's hesitation and took out a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill and handed it over.

"this--"

Su Qing was suddenly startled.

This gift is not small at all!

She is just a maid, not a high-ranking person, and her monthly salary is only more than ten low-grade spiritual stones.

Xu Mu's bottle of Qi Gathering Pill directly penetrated her inner defense.

"Master Xu is so, so polite!"

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but take it and quickly put it in his pocket.

With this bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, she might be able to break through to the next level faster.

After receiving the elixir, she did not reply immediately. Instead, she led Xu Mu into the back hall and then spoke in a low voice.

"I actually don't know much. I just occasionally heard from the shopkeeper that the Qinghe Sword Sect has suffered a lot recently. Even the great monks in the foundation-building period have died several times. They have been shrinking the control area. In the next period of time, our Baishi Sect will There will be more and more people in Fangshi.”

She paused and continued: "It is said that some demon cultivators from the Soul Refining Sect infiltrated into our Baishifang City not long ago. Many people were killed in the shanty towns. Even during the day, some people were attacked!"

"The number of people in Fang City has increased greatly now, and the patrol team can't control it at all. Fellow Daoist Xu, be careful when you go out recently, and try to go with familiar people, it will be safer!"

"correct!"

Before leaving, Su Qing reminded him again.

"Prices in the market have risen sharply recently, especially for elixirs and talismans!"

Xu Mu's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me!"

Su Qing smiled, walked out, and soon came in with a middle-aged alchemist.

After testing the pills, with Su Qing's help intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Mu sold these Qi Gathering Pills at a price that was 50% higher than the original price.

A total of two hundred and eighty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones!

After traveling through so many years, this is the largest amount of spiritual stones he has obtained.

The only thing that makes Xu Mu depressed is that while the price of elixirs has risen sharply, the prices of raw materials have also risen sharply.

The price of Qi Gathering Pills that originally cost two pieces of spirit stone has now increased to three pieces, and I heard from Su Qing that the price will increase significantly in the future.

Considering the current situation, Xu Mu spent 90 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones and bought 30 medicinal materials for the Qi Gathering Pill.

Another hundred and thirty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones were spent to buy 60 bottles of Bigu Pill and a hundred copies of the Bigu Pill medicinal materials.

Naturally, I bought the Bigu Pill to practice Thunder Swordsmanship.

Of course, he could also refine it himself, but it would be a waste of time.

What Xu Mu didn't expect was that while the price of Qi Gathering Pills rose sharply, the price of Bigu Pills rose even crazier, doubling in price.

This forced Xu Mu to buy some refining medicinal materials. If the price continued to rise in the future, he would have to refine it himself.

Two hundred and eighty spiritual stones were spent, and two hundred and twenty were spent before leaving the store.

It's true that the drug store makes money, and the drug store spends it. I want to take it home when I leave.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I have one more thing that I want to trouble you with!"

After the transaction was completed, Xu Mu spoke again.

"Alchemist Xu, just say it!"

Su Qing's face was as bright as a smile.

This time I received Xu Mu, not only did I receive benefits from Xu Mu, but I also received a lot of commissions. It can be said that I was in a good mood.

"Fellow Daoist Su works in a medicine shop and must know a lot of alchemists. I wonder if anyone needs an alchemy furnace. I happen to have one here that I don't need!"

He has been using Sun Daocheng's mid-grade pill furnace for alchemy recently, which is much better than his original low-grade pill furnace.

Anyway, if you keep it at home, it will only eat dust, so why not take the opportunity to sell it and exchange it for spiritual stones to improve your strength.

Hearing that Xu Mu was going to sell the alchemy furnace, Su Qing's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Because she has a younger brother who is learning alchemy recently.
