Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

The monk looked down at the portrait, then looked up at him again, his brows furrowed together deeply.

"Put your hand out and let me see!"

"yes!"

Xu Mu didn't dare to resist and stretched out his hand. It was as delicate and white as a woman's.

There are no calluses left by sword practice!

"Let's go!"

The monk put away the portrait, waved his hand impatiently, and then stopped the next passerby.

Only this time, the portraits were not taken out for comparison.

"Thank you very much!"

A smile appeared on Xu Mu's face, like an ordinary passerby, he slightly cupped his hands and left quickly.

It wasn't until he was far away that he suddenly ducked into a nearby alley, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the overwhelming turmoil in his heart.

When the other party took out the portrait just now, he had a startled glance and saw the content on it.

The portrait shows a middle-aged man in his fifties, holding a red gold sword and wearing a black scarf.

If not him, then who!

Fortunately, he didn't show any abnormality just now. Fortunately, after he broke through the marrow refining level, he was completely transformed, and his appearance and temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

if not--

"The only option is to kill them all, and then take Yingying and Xiao Ling'er to escape into the forest!"

As for whether he can escape the pursuit behind him, it all depends on God's will.

"This time I got really lucky!"

Xu Mu's heart was still frightened, and his spine was still running cold.

"If you do this kind of thing again in the future, you must be more careful!"

It's just that he really couldn't understand it. At that time, he did everything he could, except that he didn't suffer any setbacks.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a portrait of him, right?

"What method was used, or did I miss any key clues?"

Xu Mu frowned, puzzled.

Although he has lived in this world for decades, he has been crawling and rolling around in this one-third of an acre of Baishifang City. In fact, his vision is very narrow, and he does not know the methods of high-level cultivators at all.

In the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply decided that if he encounters this kind of thing in the future, he must crush the opponent to ashes and beat him to death. It is best to have another round of salvation before he can feel completely at ease.

After he calmed down, he left the alley and rushed towards the inn where Lan Shijin lived.

The streets were still bustling with people as before, and most of them were monks with murderous eyes and injuries on their bodies.

It's already April and summer is about to begin. It is the peak period when monsters appear, and it is also the time when monks are most active and earn the highest income of the year.

There are many more practitioners this year than in previous years, so the competition is even more intense.

"Next time our team will go inside again. Now we can't find even a single monster hair on the outside. If we continue like this, we won't be able to eat!"

"Now the three hundred miles is considered the outer area, and the further in there is the five hundred mile range! There have been fourth-level monsters there before, and the danger is too great!"

"Be prepared! After dinner, let's buy some high-level talismans and find a few more people. Don't stop just because of the danger! After all, we are not here to live a stable life, but to gain opportunities to become high-level talismans." Ranked monk!"

"That's what Fellow Daoist Yang said! You should really fight while you're young!"

"The flying boats that transport supplies haven't come recently. I feel that prices are going to rise. Why don't we stock up more later!"

"I regret talking about this. What if last time..."

Xu Mu walked into the inn. The hall on the first floor was crowded with diners. They were changing glasses, chatting, or eating a big meal, their faces shiny with food.

Everyone was dressed in all sorts of strange ways. Some were wearing robes, some were wearing armor, and some were wearing animal skins.

However, Xu Mu, who has lived here for decades, has long been accustomed to strange things.

After a casual glance, he walked towards the counter.

"Shopkeeper, I'm Xu Mu, I'd like to find my friend. She lives in room No. 6!"

"Guest, wait a moment!"

The innkeeper called a boy and gave instructions in his ear.

The boy hurried upstairs.

Not long after, Lan Shijin, wearing a blue robe, walked down elegantly.

Many diners in the inn stopped and looked over.

Lan Shijin, who has a dignified and beautiful face and a plump figure, is quite popular.

Especially since she is older!

As for why the older you are, the more popular you are?

You want something!

You have to taste it carefully!

You can feel it!

Seeing Lan Shijin coming down from upstairs, Xu Mu's face showed surprise. He was originally worried that Lan Shijin had left Baishifang City.

Xu Mu immediately greeted him.

"Friend Lan, long time no see!"

"You, you are Fellow Daoist Xu?!"

Looking at the strange yet familiar man in front of her, Lan Shijin frowned slightly, with a trace of doubt on her beautiful face.

When the young man went up to report just now, he had already said that the person looking for her was Xu Mu.

It's just that the difference between the person in front of me is a bit big.

"This is a long story. If it's convenient, fellow Taoist, can we go up and talk about it?"

Xu Mu didn't want everyone on the first floor to know about the invitation to set up the spirit gathering array.

Lan Shijin stared at him carefully again, and after most likely confirming that it was Xu Mu, she extended her hand to invite him upstairs.

The two quickly entered the inn room.

Leng Yuening, who was sitting in the room practicing spells, saw Xu Mu coming in and casually scattered the condensed ice picks, with a look of surprise on his face.

She didn't understand why her mother brought a strange man in?

Didn’t you say you were going to see that Alchemist Xu?

"Miss Leng, long time no see!"

Xu Mu greeted Leng Yuening politely.

Leng Yuening's eyes widened and she blinked hard twice, revealing even greater doubts in her eyes.

She recognized Xu Mu's voice, but her appearance was...

"Don't be surprised, you two. It's just that I got a pill by accident recently, and that's why I changed." Xu Mu explained.

He had already guessed that the two would be surprised.

Don't forget, Ye Yingying, who spent time with him day and night, didn't even recognize her at once.

"Elixir?!!"

The eyes of the two women burst into light almost at the same time.

Lan Shijin, who had always been calm and calm in dealing with things, was actually a little excited at this moment.

And Leng Yuening, who had always been like an ice cube, suddenly stood up from the chair.

Sure enough, no woman can escape this temptation.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you still have that kind of elixir of yours? Can you sell me two pills? You can give me whatever price you want!"

"..."

Even the tone is exactly the same.

Xu Mu felt quite dumbfounded.

If he had known this, he probably should have had a different reason.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, I got that pill by accident, and there's only one pill, so there's really nothing I can do about it!" Xu Mu said with a bitter smile.

"Huh? That, that's such a pity!"

Lan Shijin's eyes showed disappointment.

Even if she could take care of herself again, she would still be in her fifties or sixties. If she didn't have special elixirs or break through the foundation-building period, she would age rapidly in a few years.

For women, appearance may be more important than life.

If Xu Mu still has that kind of elixir, Lan Shijin will definitely take it at all costs.

Not to mention Lan Shijin, even Leng Yuening's usually spotless eyes looked a little disappointed.

"I came here this time to trouble Fellow Daoist Lan and go to my house to help me set up a spirit gathering array! The cost can be based on the market price. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Lan has time!"

"have!"

Lan Shijin's eyes flashed with joy, and she immediately agreed.

During this period of time, the mother and daughter lived in the inn, and they spent a lot of spiritual stones. After this period of hard work, there was not much left of their original savings.

Originally, she was thinking of going out to make some extra money, but unexpectedly Xu Mu came to her door.

"That's great! I wonder if fellow Taoist Lan thinks it will start today, or in two days?"

"Just today!"

Afterwards, Lan Shijin told Leng Yuening a few words, and then she and Xu Mu left the inn and walked out of Fang City.

When passing by the entrance, the monk who was conducting the search just took a brief look at it and did not stop him again for comparison.

This made Xu Mu feel slightly relieved.

It seems that he has indeed changed a lot. Otherwise, with the level of detail in the portrait, it would be easy for someone to recognize him even if he was wearing a hijab.

After leaving Fangshi, Xu Mu asked about Lan Shijin's current situation and why he hadn't left yet.

"Don't mention it! Alas!"

Lan Shijin frowned and sighed.

Then she didn't hide it and told Xu Mu the reason.

The friend she found was indeed very good at first agreeing, but when it was time to set off, he started to shirk all kinds of excuses.

So far, there is still no certainty.

Lan Shijin was worried that the spiritual stones she spent might be wasted.

At this time, Xu Mu suddenly remembered that when he eavesdropped on the conversation between Jia An and others, it seemed to be mentioned that all the flying boats were requisitioned by the major families and went to the front line, and no one could leave in a short time.

It was precisely because of this that the other party dared to blackmail him unscrupulously.

Otherwise, he would probably just walk away.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Lan. I estimate that the war will end soon. Not only will there be a flying boat to leave by then, but maybe the price will be much cheaper!" Xu Mu comforted him.

"I hope so!" Lan Shijin sighed.

The two walked while talking, and soon returned to the familiar alley.

Xu Mu walked to the door of his house and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard bursts of banging sounds coming from the house next door, as well as a murmur that made people blush and heartbeat.

Lan Shijin and Xu Mu were both experienced here, and they instantly understood what the sound was about.

Lan Shijin's beautiful face showed a rare peach blossom, but Xu Mu's expression was a bit cold and ugly.

He knocked on the door first and asked Ye Yingying to bring Lan Shijin in, and then patted the door of Li Moqing's house hard.

"Fellow Daoist Li! Fellow Daoist Li!"

After shouting several times in a row, Li Moqing, who was wearing loose clothes that seemed to fall down with just a tug, opened the door leisurely.

Seeing Xu Mu at the door, she had a charming smile at the corner of her mouth and said in a seductive tone: "Fellow Daoist Xu, you can't wait so soon! I still have guests, why don't you wait for a while! If you really can't wait, , I’ll ask the two of them if they would like to add you!”

Xu Mu ignored the other party's teasing words and said coldly: "I don't want to hear a sound like that again!"

"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Xu? Are you not here to take care of my business?" Li Moqing narrowed his eyes and said angrily.

"My words mean it literally!"

Xu Mu's eyes were cold.

"snort!"

Li Moqing, however, dismissed it and snorted coldly: "This is my home. I can call it whatever I want. Do you care? If you don't want to hear it, move to Fangshi..."

Uh-huh!

Xu Mu's arm suddenly popped out, and when Li Moqing had no reaction, he pinched her throat.

His eyes were bright and filled with murderous intent!

"If you let me hear the slightest sound again, believe it or not, I will let you lie down in the sewer tomorrow!"

"Gudong, gudong!"

Li Moqing swallowed lightly and nodded desperately. At that moment, she really felt like she was on the verge of death.

Xu Mu took his hand back and turned back to his house.

Whoops!

When Xu Mu left, Li Moqing immediately began to breathe heavily, and it took a while before he recovered.

"This bastard! I..."

Li Moqing was about to yell, but she stopped in a hurry. She didn't know why, but when she thought of Xu Mu's eyes, she felt inexplicable fear.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided not to provoke the other party, but in the future, I would have to do business on my doorstep.
