Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

"Friend Lan, long time no see!"

Xu Mu stopped, smiled and cupped his hands.

The beautiful woman in green clothes in front of him is named Lan Shijin, and she is his former neighbor.

To be honest, Xu Mu was not familiar with her. Just by looking at the robe she wore, he knew that the two were not on the same level at all.

He knew the other party mainly because his wife Ye Yingying had a good relationship with the other party.

When Ye Yingying was just pregnant, Lan Shijin heard about it from somewhere and enthusiastically visited her to teach her how to have a baby.

Maybe it’s because there are too few people having children in this city!

But no matter what the reason was, Xu Mu was able to say a few words to the other party just like this.

"Looking at your appearance, you're living a good life in the shanty town, and you're a lot younger!" Lan Shijin looked him up and down, with a well-placed smile on her lips, and continued: "How is Yingying?"

"It's just a lucky breakthrough in my cultivation. Fellow Taoist Lan deserves the award! As for Yingying, she's doing well and has gained a lot of weight recently!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"That's good! Where is the child?" Lan Shijin asked.

"Already gave birth, it's a girl!"

"Girl~"

Lan Shijin's voice was a little too long, a look of disappointment flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she turned to smile and said: "The girl is pretty good! Congratulations! It's a pity that I don't have time to see her!"

Lan Shijin felt a little regretful.

"There will be plenty of time in the future. Fellow Daoist Lan is welcome to come over at any time!"

"Okay! I'll definitely go when I have time! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

"Fellow Daoist Lan, go ahead and get busy!"

"Farewell!"

Lan Shijin, like a lady, bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Xu Mu then stepped into the drug store.

What he didn't know was that after Lan Shijin walked some distance away, she seemed to think of something and suddenly turned back.

…

Inside the drug store.

"Welcome, this fellow Taoist... Alchemist Xu? I haven't seen you for a while! I thought you..."

Shopkeeper Tu, who was cleaning up the counter and humming a tune, heard footsteps and thought it was a customer coming. When he looked up, he saw that it was Xu Mu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"My life is tough, but I won't die that easily!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

He took out a bottle of elixir from his storage bag and put it on the counter. He smiled and said, "Help me see what the price of this bottle of elixir is?"

"What? Are you lucky enough to have picked up someone's elixir?"

Shopkeeper Tu said as he pulled out the cork of the bottle and took a look inside.

"It's a Qi Gathering Pill! You're lucky, they're all top-grade!" Shopkeeper Tu poured out one and looked at it carefully before saying with a smile.

"Do you accept it?"

"Of course! I want as much as you have!" Shopkeeper Tu sneered.

After all, he owns a shop, so why can't he afford a few bottles of Qi Gathering Pills?

And based on his understanding of Xu Mu, it would be good to have two bottles on him.

The only thing he was curious about was where Xu Mu got it.

As for Xu Mu refining it himself, he didn't believe it.

If Xu Mu had this ability, he would not be driven to the shanty town.

"What's the price?"

"The price? How about two bottles of elixirs? I'll give you the original price. How about 24 yuan for a bottle of low-grade spiritual stones?" Shopkeeper Tu said arrogantly.

He knew Xu Mu's situation and didn't want to earn his two low-grade spiritual stones.

"This is what you said! Don't go back on it!"

"Repenting is a grandson!"

Shopkeeper Tu assured, patting his chest.

Xu Mu smiled evilly and started taking out pills one by one.

The first bottle, the second bottle, were okay, but by the third bottle, Shopkeeper Tu couldn't hold himself any longer. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the spiritual stones, but he was shocked that Xu Mu had brought so many Qi Gathering Pills.

He opened them one by one and checked to make sure that Xu Mu was not fooling him with the empty bottles.

When Xu Mu got ten bottles, he became a little panicked.

"I said, you must have robbed that medicine shop, right? Let me tell you, recently many foundation-building families have come and settled in our city. Don't mess around!"

Shopkeeper Tu was worried that Xu Mu was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment, so he targeted the foundation-building families.

Whether it's stealing, robbing, or cheating, there will be no good end if you provoke them.

"Don't worry! I refined these myself!" Xu Mu took out all twenty bottles and said with a smile.

During this period, he refined a total of more than thirty bottles, more than ten of which were eaten by him and Ye Yingying, leaving only these twenty bottles to exchange for spiritual stones.

"Did you practice it yourself?"

Shopkeeper Tu was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Don't be ridiculous. With your alchemy skills, it's enough to be able to refine top-grade Bigu Pills!"

Shopkeeper Tu didn’t believe it.

It had only been half a year since the two last met. With Xu Mu's talent, even if he worked tirelessly to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, he still wouldn't be able to reach this level.

What's more, with Xu Mu's family background, he can't go through many troubles.

"Believe it or not, I've put the elixir here. Do you want to take it or not?"

Xu Mu spread his hands.

"Did you really practice it?"

Shopkeeper Tu still didn't believe it.

The gap between front and back is really too big.

"Do I need to lie to you? Besides, with my strength, how can I steal so many pills!" Xu Mu said helplessly.

He knew this would happen.

"That's true!"

Shopkeeper Tu finally believed it.

He looked Xu Mu up and down, and then noticed that he was much younger than before.

"Have you achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation?"

"Um!"

"No wonder!"

Shopkeeper Tu suddenly understood, or in other words, he could understand a little bit.

"Hurry up and calculate the price!"

"Okay! According to 90%, the total is..."

Shopkeeper Tu flipped the abacus and calculated by dividing five by three. He raised his head and said, "Rounding up, the total is four hundred and forty low-grade spiritual stones!"

"No! Didn't you say the original price? Why did it become 90%?"

"Because you are my grandfather! Grandpa Xu Mu! Okay?"

People can't give up spirit stones for the sake of face, right?

Speaking of which, Xu Mu and his father's generation, although called Grandpa suffered a loss, it was not much.

"..."

All right!

you are vicious!

Xu Mu had nothing to say.

"Did you really make this elixir?"

When checking out, shopkeeper Tu was still a little worried.

A few hundred low-grade spiritual stones are a small thing, but if he offends that family, his small family will not be able to withstand it.

"Don't worry, I care more about my life than you! I have a wife and children, but you are alone!"

"What's wrong with being alone? I can listen to music every day and be the bridegroom every night, but you can only do it once!" Shopkeeper Tu said proudly.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Xu Mu instinctively said.

"What? You still want to take a concubine? Can you do it with your body?"

"..."

grass!

Who do you look down on?

I am...

"I won't talk nonsense to you, my wife is still waiting at home! Hurry up and exchange the spirit stones for fifty parts of Qi Gathering Pills, and a hundred bottles of Bigu Pills!"

"A hundred bottles of Bigu Pill? Are you crazy?"

Shopkeeper Tu looked at Xu Mu as if he was crazy.

Even if the cultivation level is high, one Bigu Pill can only last for one day, and one hundred bottles will be enough for three years. Even if you have an inventory, you don't need to keep so much.

Besides, don’t you know how to refine Bigu Pill yourself?

The money is too much to burn, so spend your own money to buy it!

"Don't ask so many questions, just get it for me quickly, what? You have the spirit stone and you still don't earn it?"

"I just don't want you to lose money! When the time comes, my wife runs away, so don't blame me!"

"I asked you, can you say something nice? You're cursing me here. It's not like your father at all!" Xu Mu complained.

But he also knew that the other party meant well, but he just had a bad mouth.

"This is a kind reminder! If you insist on buying it, it's up to you! But after leaving the store, there are no returns!"

"I know, I know!"

Seeing that Xu Mu was a little impatient, shopkeeper Tu turned around and went into the back hall, took out all the Bigu Pills stored in the store, and called the lazy boy out to help look after the store.

It's rare to make a big deal, so you must reward yourself with a reward.

As people moved in from other places recently, Goulan also received a lot of fresh blood and released a lot of new songs, which he had long wanted to listen to.

After the transaction was completed, Xu Mu left the drug store and walked to the market, preparing to replenish some daily necessities before returning.

With a hundred bottles of Bigu Pills and the recently accumulated luck points, he was ready to improve his Thunder Swordsmanship to the perfect level.

Get stronger physically and educate young people well.

As a result, as soon as I went out and didn't go far, I was stopped by someone.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please stay!

Dressed in Tsing Yi, dignified and noble Lan Shijin walked towards him.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, what's the matter?" Xu Mu asked a little confused.

Didn't the other party say something was wrong just now? Why did he suddenly come back?

"Fellow Daoist Xu, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Lan Shijin made a request.

"sure!"

Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

The other party has a good relationship with his wife and has a good reputation over the years. Xu Mu is not worried that the other party will harm him.

Under the leadership of Lan Shijin, the two entered a nearby teahouse.

Lan Shijin took out a spiritual stone and ordered two cups of spiritual tea.

The water is clear and tea is green, and the fragrant mist is curling up!

"Fellow Daoist Lan, if you have anything to say, just say it, no need to be so polite!"

Xu Mu took the spiritual tea from Lan Shijin, placed it gently on the table, and said.

"Since Fellow Daoist Xu said so, I won't beat around the bush!"

She held the teacup with slender jade fingers, her red lips lightly parted, and took a slight sip. Every move she made was elegant.

"I would like to ask how the environment is in the shanty town? I want to move there with Yue Ning and live there for a while!"

Yue Ning is Lan Shijin's daughter, her full name is Leng Yuening. After being a neighbor for more than ten years, he has only met her once. She is a cold girl.

"Moving to a shantytown? Fellow Taoist Lan are not kidding me, are you?"

Xu Mu's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Not to mention other things, just by relying on the robe on the other party, he would not be reduced to living in a shantytown.

There is also the other party's husband, but he is on the ninth level of Qi training and is about to build...

etc!

He suddenly remembered that the old cultivator in gray robe who led them to the Chi family to look for trouble seemed to be Lan Shijin's husband.

In other words, the other party is now a widow! !

wrong!

Even if her husband-in-law dies, with their family's financial resources, they won't be able to live in a shanty town.

He originally wanted to go to Yaxing in Fangshi later to see if there was any vacant house, and planned to move back to Fangshi. Now he has paid the deposit.

Why is the other party going against him?

Could it be that you can’t rent a house?

Xu Mu secretly said.

Lan Shijin smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"I'm not joking with Daoist Xu, this is what happened..."

Lan Shijin briefly explained the cause and effect, and Xu Mu suddenly understood.

It turned out that it wasn't that the other party didn't have enough money, but that several new families were constantly expanding their territory in Fangshi, and Lan Shijin's original place of residence happened to be in the area designated by the other party.

If her husband-in-law was still alive, she would be able to bargain, but now that her husband-in-law is dead, she has offended the Chi family.

They were lucky that no one was doing anything secretly and killing them all. How could they dare to bargain with others?

Originally, she wanted to find another place to live in Fangshi, but now there are basically no vacant houses in Fangshi.

The major families have no place to live, and are desperately trying to drive people out of Fang City. She can find them there.

When she went to the drug store to sell elixirs just now, she saw that Xu Mu was in good spirits and realized that the shanty town might not be as bad as she thought, so she thought of making do with it for a few months, and after the spring started, she and her daughter would take an airship and leave. Baishifang City.

Her husband-in-law died and she offended the Chi family. She could no longer live here.

She came to Xu Mu just to inquire about the situation in the shanty towns. If possible, she would live there for a few months.

"I can't guarantee this, but I've lived here for a few months and haven't had any big trouble!"

He was targeted because he was too weak. With Lan Shijin's situation, no one should dare to provoke him.

"If Fellow Daoist Lan wants to move there, there happens to be an empty house next door to me. You can go and take a look!"

"Really? That's great!"

With Xu Mu as her old neighbor, she can rest assured and can adapt to the nearby environment quickly, saving a lot of trouble.

Anyway, she won't stay there permanently. When the airship is opened, she will leave with her daughter as soon as possible.

"I wonder if you could trouble fellow Daoist Xu to take me to see you?"

"Of course it's no problem!"

Xu Mu originally wanted to go to the market to buy things, but because of Lan Shijin, he had to postpone it until the next day.

The renting of the house went smoothly. Xu Mu took Lan Shijin to find Yaren. After looking at the house, he signed the contract that day and paid half a year's rent.

Xu Mu can only say that he is really a rich man!

People in shantytowns basically pay once a month, and some wish they could delay it for another month. People like Lan Shijin who pay for half a year at a time are definitely unique.

When coming to see the house, Lan Shijin also took a look at Ye Yingying, which made Ye Yingying very happy.

Although Ye Yingying never complained about being depressed at home alone, how could a teenage girl be happy when she was bored at home every day and had to take care of her children.

In his previous life, he would have suffered from jade syndrome.

This is also the reason why Xu Mu is willing to take the initiative to help Lan Shijin.

With her here, his wife at least has someone to talk to, so she won't be too bored.

As for himself, he was either practicing or refining elixirs every day, and he didn't have much time to spend with his wife and daughter.

After the house was settled, Lan Shijin and her daughter did not move here immediately. They had to finish the things there, which would probably take five or six days.

The next day, Xu Mu replenished his daily necessities at the market and walked towards a nearby bookstore.

Now that his first-level fire-bending skills have reached the peak and there is no progress, he is thinking about purchasing the second-level fire-bending skills training method and starting to practice. Moreover, he is now in the middle stage of Qi training and can start practicing second-level spells. .

As for the encyclopedia of spells he originally bought, it does contain many second-level spells and even third-level spells.

But considering the price of two low-grade spiritual stones, you know how thorough its records are!

Xu Mu only accumulates ten luck points a day, so he must use it sparingly, so he wants to buy a magic training secret book with a detailed introduction, preferably with a lot of annotations, which can help him get started faster and save money in the early stages. Lots of luck.

After entering, he quickly found the secret book he wanted, but when he saw another thing in the bookstore, he suddenly felt that the secret book in his hand no longer tasted good.
