Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

"Is there anything wrong with this secret book?"

Xu Mu picked up the secret book that had been thrown on the ground and asked while flipping through it.

Hearing Xu Mu's inquiry, the stall owner showed a look of surprise on his face, and then he said with some uncertainty: "Isn't this fellow Taoist who just came from the Inland Sea?"

Xu Mu stopped flipping through the book, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know?"

"If fellow Taoist disciples hadn't just come from the Inland Sea, it's impossible that they wouldn't have known about the Twelve Jingzhe Jue."

"Things? What things? I wonder if you can tell me in detail."

Xu Mu neither denied nor confirmed whether he had just come to Inland Sea, but just changed the subject.

The stall owner didn't ask too much and started talking about the Twelve Jingzhe Jue.

This Twelve Secrets of Insects is jokingly called the number one magical power and secret art in the outer sea by the monks from the outer sea.

There are two reasons. The first is that it comes from an ancient monk's cave in the Broken Sky Secret Realm. When the cave was first born, it caused huge waves in the outer sea, and countless high-level cultivators were killed or injured as a result.

Even the Star Gate in the Inner Sea sent experts to join the fight.

And this book of Twelve Jingzhe Jue is said to have been found from the deepest part of the cave.

The second reason is that this Twelve Jingzhe Art taught Jingkong, the number one casual cultivator in Waihai, to death.

Later, this secret book spread out for unknown reasons. With the name of Shattering Sky Secret Realm, it became very expensive in Luoyang for a while, and everyone rushed to buy it and practice, thinking that they were the unique and peerless genius.

There are indeed many unique magical secrets in this world, and it requires some special physiques to successfully practice them.

Those special physiques are usually inconspicuous, but if they practice the appropriate skills, they can immediately burst out with shocking power.

But, what a pity!

There is not a single person who has succeeded in practicing it, but there are a lot of people who have practiced it to death.

As time went by, the original vigorous secret book became a piece of waste paper that no one cared about.

Xu Mu couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this, and immediately said: "Do you have the complete copy here?"

The book Xu Mu is holding only has a small part at the beginning, which is equivalent to a detailed introduction.

The stall owner was not surprised at all by Xu Mu's reaction.

Because all practitioners who heard about this secret book for the first time had the same reaction.

Don't turn back until you hit the south wall, don't give up until you reach the Yellow River.

Everyone feels that they are unique.

"I still have a copy of the complete cultivation secret book here! However, fellow Taoist, you don't really want to practice, do you? I have to say in advance that I will not be responsible for anything that goes wrong!"

"You don't need to be responsible, just sell it to me! Just take it back and do some research!"

"Okay! I also have a few high-level monks' books here about the cultivation experience of the Twelve Jingzhe Jue. Do you want to buy them back together?"

The business that comes to your door is nothing if not done. Anyway, he has already warned her, so if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with him.

"want!"

"I also have a dozen secret books here that are similar to the Twelve Jingzhe Jue. Do you want to buy them together and try them out?"

"..."

Xu Mu suddenly wondered, was the stall owner's behavior of throwing away the book just now intentional?

Fortunately, these secret books are not valuable, and together they only cost a dozen low-grade spiritual stones.

If you can really practice it, it will be a thousand times more beneficial.

Even if he fails to practice it, to him, this little spiritual stone is not worth mentioning.

In addition to these secret books, he also purchased more than a dozen secret techniques on hiding aura, changing aura, and disguising oneself.

and five or six books introducing the conditions of the outer sea.

In the end, the total was only twenty-five low-grade spiritual stones.

For Xu Mu, it really didn't even count as pocket money, but for the stall owner who was only in the early stages of Qi training, it was a rare big business, so he was happy and helped Xu Mu get another piece off.

"Fellow Taoist, please come here often in the future. If you have new customs, I will keep them for you!"

After leaving the bookstall, Xu Mu continued walking towards the city center, and finally stopped in front of a three-story attic.

This is the tallest and most luxurious shop in the entire city.

As soon as he entered, a beautiful maid came forward to greet him.

"I don't know what I want to buy, senior. Do you need a little lady to introduce you?"

"I want to buy some formations and alchemy materials."

Xu Mu took out the list he had written long ago and handed it to the maid.

There are spirit gathering arrays arranged inside, as well as materials for refining the third-level Xuanyuan Dan.

As for the fourth-level materials, they are probably not available here.

Xu Mu also doesn't know how to refine fourth-level elixirs for improving cultivation.

The maid took it and took a look, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Although Xu Mu intended to control the quantity purchased, it was still an unimaginable transaction for ordinary cultivators.

"Senior, please go to the inner hall and wait a moment! I'll have someone pick up the goods right now!" The maid became more and more respectful.

"No, you just go get your things, I'll go upstairs and take a look!"

Xu Mu glanced at the hall on the first floor. They were all filled with low-grade materials. They were indeed much better than the stalls on the street, but they still didn't catch his eye.

"Senior, wait a moment! I'll take you there!"

The maid quickly ran to the counter, handed the list to a waiter, gave a few instructions, and then hurried back to Xu Mu.

"Senior please!"

Xu Mu didn't resist when he arrived and followed him up to the second floor.

Compared with the first floor, the items sold on the second floor are indeed much higher-end. There are even several third-level magic weapons and some third-level elixirs.

When he saw one of the bottles of pills, his eyes lit up.

"Bone Cleansing Pill?"

This is a third-level elixir. Like the Jade Dew Pill and the Shenhua Pill, it is an elixir used to improve physical fitness.

When he was in the inland sea, he collected them for a long time but could not find them.

"Do you have any elixirs for sale here?" Xu Mu pointed at the bone-cleansing elixir.

"I need to ask the shopkeeper about this."

"Okay! If there is any, just add it with the materials!"

Although this third-level elixir is no longer of much use to him, it can be used by Xiao Ling'er and the others in the future to improve his physique more comprehensively and speed up his cultivation.

After looking around the second floor and buying some materials he had never seen before, Xu Mu wanted to continue walking upstairs, but was stopped by the maid.

"Senior, you can't go up to the third floor."

"Why?"

"The third floor is the internal trading place opened by our Jinghai Gang. Except for the top brass within the gang, outsiders who want to go up must have a cultivation level of above the foundation building stage, and it only accepts spiritual stones of middle grade or above, or above. Barter.”

Xu Mu's eyes flickered. Considering what he observed along the way, he felt that no one in this small city could threaten him.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to show off my cultivation and go up to have a look.

See if you can buy some slightly useful materials.

The things he just bought were better than nothing at best, and they were of very limited help to him now.

So Xu Mu let go of his breath, and a spiritual pressure unique to the Foundation Establishment Stage immediately filled the entire second floor. Whether it was the maid receiving the guests or the guests who were selecting goods, everyone's heart skipped a beat and they looked over.

Looking at Xu Mu, there was an inexplicable hint of awe.

In this remote Xiaofang City, the Foundation Establishment Stage can definitely be regarded as a big shot.

"Can i do it now?"

"Yes, yes! Senior, please!"

The maid wiped away cold sweat, secretly glad that she was polite enough when she received her.

But she wasn't too surprised by this kind of thing.

In a place like the Outer Sea, there really aren't many people who like to hide their cultivation.

After leading Xu Mu to the stairs, the maid stopped.

"Senior, there is a dedicated person above to receive you, so I won't go up there. If you need anything, you can call me at any time! I can do anything!"

Xu Mu automatically ignored the last sentence, nodded, and walked up to the third floor.

Compared with the second floor, the third floor is much narrower, and there is no counter to display goods. There is only a plump woman in purple sitting on a bench, sitting cross-legged and meditating.

I don't know if she heard footsteps or if there was a warning formation. The moment Xu Mu stepped up to the attic, the woman opened her eyes.

When he saw Xu Mu's face was a bit unfamiliar, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Xu Yiren, the deputy leader of the Jinghai Gang, has met fellow Taoist!"

Xu Yiren had a bright smile with a natural affinity.

"I'm Xu Mu!"

Xu Mu cupped his hands and just smiled slightly.

"I wonder what you want to buy?"

Naturally, he came here to buy things, so Xu Yiren didn't gossip with him and asked straight to the point.

"I want to buy some medicinal herbs."

Xu Mu directly reported the medicinal materials needed for the True Yuan Pill and Falling Dust Pill.

Although he has collected many fourth- and fifth-level elixir prescriptions over the years, he has not studied any of them.

First, the investment in learning these elixirs is too great, and second, refining them is troublesome and the returns are not high.

If you need it, you can buy it with spirit stones, which is much more cost-effective than refining it yourself.

To him, only the True Essence Pill and the Falling Dust Pill, which were difficult to buy, had the value of learning and refining them.

Of course, he didn't expect the other party to come up with all the medicinal materials. For him, it was enough to collect one or two of them.

Xu Yiren's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard that what Xu Mu purchased were medicinal materials, and they were obviously paired with elixirs.

"I would like to ask, is Taoist friend an alchemist?"

"No! I bought it for my friend!"

"..."

Xu Yiren was not stupid. She realized that the other party didn't want to admit it, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After telling Xu Mu to wait, he took out an account book and started checking it.

In the end, after searching around, I only found one medicinal material called Chenguhua.

"Sorry fellow Taoist, we only have this kind here!"

Xu Yiren looked somewhat embarrassed.

However, Xu Mu showed a hint of joy.

Because Chenguhua is the main ingredient in Chenchen Pill, he searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. He didn't expect to find it in this small market, and the price was not high.

It seems that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later.

After clearing the spirit stones, Xu Mu was about to turn around and leave, but Xu Yiren suddenly stopped him.

"I would like to ask, are fellow Taoists passing through this place, or do you want to settle down for a long time?"
