Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

call! suck!

The rich spiritual energy in the spirit-gathering formation swarmed in, constantly converging towards Xu Mu's body, and merged with the running spiritual power.

The speed of spiritual power circulating in the meridians is getting faster and faster, and soon breaks through a certain limit.

Boom!

It was as if an invisible wall was violently broken, the spiritual power increased rapidly, the meridians were rapidly widened, the spirit was suddenly shocked, and the range of flame perception increased.

In his perception, someone walked into the main room and was chatting with Ye Yingying.

"Fifth level of Qi training! Finally achieved a breakthrough!"

This speed of cultivation was something that was unthinkable before.

After running for several days and consolidating his cultivation, Xu Mu couldn't wait to walk out of the room, ready to share the joy with his wife.

As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Lan Shijin with a somewhat melancholy look on her brows.

Only then did I remember the person I had just sensed.

Temporarily suppressing the urge to share, Xu Mu asked, "Fellow Taoist Lan, could it be that you haven't bought the ferry ticket again?"

"No!"

Lan Shijinxiu raised her head slightly, returned Xiao Ling'er in her arms to Ye Yingying, smiled bitterly at Xu Mu and shook her head.

From the beginning of spring to now, she went to the market almost every day to inquire, but she failed every time.

Either there is no place on the flying boat, or there is no flying boat to leave for the time being.

Even if she had some connections, it would still be useless.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lan. It's probably because those big families are relocating more people. After this period of busy work, there will definitely be some." Xu Mu comforted.

"I hope so!"

Lan Shijin sighed.

But judging from the information she had gathered during this period, it seemed that things were not as simple as imagined.

"Fellow Daoist Lan went to Fangshi today. Did you find out any news about the Qinghe Sword Sect and the Soul Refining Sect?"

"No! It seems that no one has come from out of town recently, and several members of the Foundation Establishment Family are also reclusive. They have never mentioned the battle between the Qinghe Sword Sect and the Soul Refining Sect!"

This was also what worried her. She originally thought that the war was going to end, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

While the two were talking, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside the house.

Xu Mu went out to check, and Lan Shijin and Ye Yingying, who was holding the child, also followed out to see what was going on.

In the alley, Jia An led several people from the patrol team, holding gongs in their hands and beating them as they walked.

Hearing the noise, almost every household opened the door and came out to check.

"Dear Taoist friends and neighbors! I have something important to announce to you today!"

When Jia An saw someone coming out, he raised his hands and said loudly.

"Starting from today, Fangshi will no longer provide salaries to the patrol team. If you still want to be protected by the patrol team, you need to hand in the spirit stones yourself!"

"It's not much. Each household only needs one low-grade spiritual stone. If your family members join the patrol team, they are exempted!"

"Of course, this kind of thing is entirely voluntary. If you feel you have the ability to protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't hand over!"

"As soon as I finish announcing the news, I will start collecting spiritual stones from door to door. I hope everyone is mentally prepared!"

After finishing speaking, Jia An led the people out of the alley with a smile on his face and continued to the next alley to inform.

As Jia An left, the whole alley exploded.

"Is there a mistake? The patrol actually wants us to raise it ourselves? Is it possible that our monthly rent should be handed over to the weird ones in the night?"

"Didn't they say it was all voluntary? Just don't hand it over!"

"Not bad! We only have a few spiritual stones a month! After paying the rent, we can't even afford food, so how can we still have money to support them!"

"Don't you know what Fatty Jia is, and that old horse? They are cowards. They are really in danger. It would be great if they can protect themselves! We expect them to protect us! Bah!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

They are all in the same alley, and they don't know each other well, but they also know something about Jia An and Ma Rui.

If they really fought, half of the people present would be able to beat the two of them to their knees and beg for mercy.

If they weren't wearing the tiger skin of the patrol, no one would look down on them at all.

When they heard someone commenting like this, everyone burst into laughter.

Especially some of the sharp-tongued women, each of them was more insulting than the other when they teased her.

"If you ask me, since the city has no salary, why don't we just disband this idiot patrol team? We don't have to hang around in front of our eyes, let my mother pour water on my feet, and have to wait for them to leave!"

"Not bad! Not bad! I have to avoid them even when I pee..."

The more people talk, the further they go.

The reaction was full of contempt for the patrol team. Judging from their attitude, no one was planning to hand over the spirit stone.

However, it’s not anyone else’s fault!

I don’t know if it’s because they all had the same relationship with Jia An. Compared with the patrol team in Fang City, the newly established patrol team is indeed a straw bag among straw bags.

Compared to others who didn't care, Xu Mu couldn't help but frowned when he returned to the room.

Maybe it was persecution paranoia, maybe he was too cautious, Xu Mu always felt that things were not that simple.

Jia An is definitely not a fool.

He should know very well what image he has.

But when Xu Mu saw Jia An's reaction just now, he didn't seem to care too much and felt confident.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, please help me take care of Yingying. I'm going to Fangshi!"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Lan Shijin probably guessed what Xu Mu wanted to do, and nodded happily.

Taking the elixir he had refined in the past month, Xu Mu walked out of the alley and walked quickly towards Fangshi. On the way, he met Jia An who was promoting the propaganda again, but the other party did not see him.

After arriving at Fangshi, Xu Mu went directly to the Song Family Pharmacy and found Su Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Su, do you know anything about the patrol team?"

Xu Mu told Su Qing what he heard.

"I heard! Recently, the Sword Sect is preparing to launch a counterattack against the Soul Refining Sect. The major families in our city have mobilized a large number of manpower for support. For a while, they did not have enough energy for management, so they divided the rights and let them Sustain it yourself!" Su Qing said.

"Self-sustaining?"

It is equivalent to saying that the patrol team in the shanty towns has become an independent organization, or a force.

Xu Mu never expected that this would happen.

"What about the spirit stone? Do you think Fellow Daoist Su should hand it over or not?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu should not be short of those spiritual stones!" Su Qing said with a smile: "In my opinion, it is better to spend money to eliminate disasters! Although the major families no longer control the patrol team, there are still many cronies of the major families in it. , it is said that there is another big shot, there is no need to offend them for a few spiritual stones! And when the war is over, they will definitely be included, if you offend them now, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future!"

"Do you think you can win this time, fellow Taoist?" Xu Mu lowered his voice.

As for the spirit stones, he actually didn't care too much.

Just like Su Qing said, he is not short of these spiritual stones.

On the contrary, he paid more attention to the battle between Qinghe Sword Sect and Soul Refining Sect.

The Qinghe Sword Sect was actually preparing to counterattack the Soul Refining Sect. To be honest, he really didn't expect it.

A few years ago, the Qinghe Sword Sect was beaten to a crawl and lost a lot of territory. To be honest, if they can remain undefeated, they should be proud of it.

As a result, at the beginning of the year, he was actually able to fight back.

The contrast between before and after is really surprising.

"It should be no problem! I heard that the Tianhe Lord Sect has sent experts over!"

A bright smile appeared on Su Qing's face, and the beauty marks at the corners of her eyes, along with the raised corners of her eyebrows, revealed a different charm.

If the Qinghe Sword Sect wins, it means the Song family wins, and her job and life will be saved.

"I see!"

Xu Mu also had a smile on his face.

With the addition of the main sect, even if the war situation does not get better, at least it will not get worse.

In this way, he can continue to steadily improve his strength.

After replacing the elixir with spiritual stones and medicinal materials, Su Qing suddenly handed him a communication talisman before leaving the house.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, next time you sell elixirs, you can contact me directly instead of coming to the store!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, this is..."

Is this poaching a corner of your own home?

"I will charge according to the market price!" Su Qing whispered.

"no problem!"

There is no reason not to make money if you have spiritual stones. Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with him.

He is just an alchemist, and he can sell the elixirs he has made to whoever he wants.

The reason why I came to Song's Pharmacy is because it's a big store, it's affordable, it's reputable, and you don't have to worry about being cheated.

So he didn't ask why Su Qing bought his elixir at a high price?

After leaving the drug store, Xu Mu went to shopkeeper Tu again and sold a small amount of Qi Gathering Pills. At the same time, he once again inquired about the patrol team and the two sects.

It's a pity that although Shopkeeper Tu is a shopkeeper, he doesn't know as much information as Su Qing, the maid, and only has some half-truths and half-false information.

After chatting with shopkeeper Tu for a while, he went to the market to replenish his daily necessities and then headed home.

As for the magic jade slips, the savings he has now are enough to buy a few more, but there is no need. Just a third-level fire-bending skill is enough for him to practice for a long time.

Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait until the two firebending skills are integrated.

Even if he buys it now, he doesn't have time to practice.

There was also the cassock. He had thought about it at first, but in the end he decided not to do it.

It’s better to keep a low profile for now!

Just wait until there are more spiritual stones in the future and just buy a good one.

When he returned to his residence, he happened to meet Jia An and his people coming to collect the spiritual stones.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Jia An smiled and held his hands in greeting.

It's just that the smile is a little less candid and a little more like an old fox than before.

"Fellow Daoist Jia!"

Without reaching out to hit the smiling person, Xu Mu politely returned the greeting, and then asked: "Fellow Daoist Jia, have you finished collecting the ones in front of me? I wonder how many people are willing to hand over?"

"No one is willing to pay!" Jia An said with a bitter smile.

Then he looked at Xu Mu and asked, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu wants to make friends?"

"I hand it over!"

Xu Mu took out a low-grade spiritual stone and handed it over.

"Um?"

Not only Jia An looked surprised, but even Ma Rui and others who followed him had expressions of disbelief.

Obviously he didn't expect Xu Mu to be so obedient.

However, after being surprised, Jia An did not reach out to pick it up, but shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are different from others! Others get one piece, but you get two!"
