Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

In midsummer, there is a lot of rain. It has been raining in Baishifang City for three consecutive days, and there is still no sign of stopping.

The ground is full of turbid water and the roads are so muddy that it is almost impossible for ordinary people to walk.

Xu Mu was wearing a blue Taoist robe, knocked the mud on his feet, stepped on the solid bluestone, held an oil-paper umbrella, and walked through the entrance of the market.

He looked around, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

“Why does it feel like there are so many fewer people than before?!”

This situation has never happened before when there were continuous heavy rains.

Could it be that the major families have begun to leave?

Didn't hear the news?

Xu Mu, who felt a little strange in his heart, quickened his pace and walked towards the agreed teahouse.

"Fellow Daoist Xu! This way!"

Before Xu Mu reached the place, he saw Su Qing, dressed in green, standing at the door of the teahouse, waving to him.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you are too polite! You are still waiting for me outside!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

The two of them had also interacted many times, and their conversations were not as reserved as before.

"Don't talk about this! People are already here. It's in the private room on the second floor. You can go in by yourself! I'll leave first if I have anything else to do!"

Su Qing said this and was about to leave. There was a bit of sadness in her brows. She no longer had the smile on her face as before. She didn't know if she had something on her mind.

"Fellow Daoist Su, don't leave in a hurry! You have to tell me who that person is, right?!"

"You'll know when you get up there! It's up to you whether you'll meet or not, I'm just passing on a message!"

Su Qing cast a protective spell, as if a little angry, turned around and walked into the rain without looking back, leaving only Xu Mu's graceful back.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Mu was a little confused.

He didn't seem to offend the other party.

With a trace of doubt, Xu Mu walked into the teahouse.

The teahouse that used to be bustling now had only a few people in it, making it look particularly deserted.

Walking up to the second floor, someone was already guarding the entrance.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe and a stern expression.

"Fellow Taoist is Master Xu Mu and Xu Alchemy, right?" the cold middle-aged man said with a straight face.

"Not bad! Who is Taoist Fellow Taoist?"

"Fellow Taoist, please come this way, my lady is waiting inside!"

The middle-aged man did not answer Xu Mu's words, but only extended his hand to invite him in.

Xu Mu frowned and hesitated.

Although the person inside the induction was not very strong, an unknown person always made him a little afraid.

What's more, the middle-aged man in front of him who looks like a servant is in the late stage of Qi training.

How can a person in the late stage of Qi training be made a servant? How can he be an ordinary person.

But when he came, Su Qing said that the other party had something very important to tell him, a matter of life and death, otherwise he would not come at all.

"Master Xu, don't worry, my lady has no ill intentions!"

Seeing Xu Mu's hesitation, the middle-aged man spoke calmly.

Xu Mu smiled hoarsely and followed the middle-aged man into the box.

There was only one woman in the room.

She is in her twenties, wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, with long, ink-like hair, high and raised, fixed with a sword-shaped dark blond hairpin, willow-leaf eyebrows, like star eyes, and a delicate face like a lady in a painter's painting.

"The little girl Chi Feiyan has met Alchemist Xu! Thank you to Alchemist Xu for providing the elixirs during this time!"

The woman stood up with a gentle smile and proper etiquette.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. I just use money to do things. Even if I wasn't a fellow Taoist, I would sell it." Xu Mu said calmly.

He does not know the other party and does not want to establish friendship with the other party.

But when he heard that the other party's surname was Chi, Xu Mu already roughly knew the other party's identity.

Chi Feiyan was not angry either. He smiled lightly and said, "I called fellow Taoist here today to ask if he would like to leave with our Chi family."

"Why should I leave with you?"

Xu Mu was a little confused.

He lives well here, why should he start over in a different environment?

"The Qinghe Sword Sect has been destroyed, and the Soul Refining Sect will come to kill them soon. Is Master Xu really not going to leave?" Chi Feiyan said calmly.

"What did you say?!!!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened, thinking there was something wrong with his ears.

The Qinghe Sword Sect was destroyed?

Is the Soul Refining Sect coming to kill you soon?

What is this all about?

Didn't it mean that the Qinghe Sword Sect was about to win and the war was about to end?

Isn't today April Fool's Day?

Xu Mu felt that his brain was a bit insufficient.

Chi Feiyan didn't seem surprised at all by Xu Mu's reaction, because when she first heard the news, everyone had the same reaction, including herself.

"The Soul Refining Sect used the peace talks as bait and set up the Nine Sons of Heavenly Demon Array to kill almost all the elites, including the ancestors of the Qinghe Sword Sect's Golden Pill. The major foundation-building families also suffered heavy losses, and no one in power was left alive!"

"The Soul Refining Sect should have broken through the Qinghe Sword Sect's mountain gate by now, and will soon divide its troops to raid various major cities!"

"With the current power of Baishifang City, it is simply impossible to resist!"

"The Soul Refining Sect practices the method of controlling souls and refining souls. Practitioners' Qi, blood and souls are their best training materials. For Baishifang City, this is definitely a catastrophe!"

Chi Feiyan looked at Xu Mu and said calmly.

"Why didn't I receive any news?"

Xu Mu frowned, still a little unconvinced.

Even if the other party swears by it.

"If even you knew about it, would Baishifang City still be so peaceful?" Chi Feiyan asked.

"..."

It seems so!

He is either practicing or refining elixirs every day, so the number of times he comes out is very small, and the channels for obtaining information are also very limited.

If even he knew it, then at least half of the people in Baishifang City knew it.

Xu Mu looked hesitant and struggled, not knowing whether to agree or not.

The news really came so suddenly that he was not even mentally prepared.

The reason why the other party took him with him was simply because he knew how to make alchemy. If he left with him, he would definitely be restrained when he got there.

But if he didn't leave, he wouldn't have any confidence that he would survive the raids by the Soul Refining Sect.

Even if they can survive the sweep, without the support of the sect, Baishifang City will soon become a paradise for monsters.

"Does Tianhe Sect not care?" Xu Mu said unwillingly.

After finally adapting to the environment here, he really doesn't want to change unless necessary.

The Qinghe Sword Sect is a vassal force of the Tianhe Sect. If the Tianhe Sect comes forward, it will be easy to take back the Qinghe Sword Sect's territory.

"I don't know if the Tianhe Sect will come forward, but even if the Tianhe Sect comes forward, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness!" Chi Feiyan shook his head and said.

"If Fellow Daoist Xu is willing, you can bring your family and meet us at the entrance of Baihe Forest tomorrow! We will set off after Chen hour!"

"tomorrow?"

Isn't this too fast?

Xu Mu, who was still a little disbelieving at first, now believes a little more.

If it wasn't an emergency, the other party wouldn't be in such a hurry. Moreover, starting from Baihe Forest, it was obviously not going to the territory of Qinghe Sword Sect.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Chi, where are you going?"

"Liyang Sect three thousand miles away!"

"Three thousand miles?!!"

He didn't know where Liyang Sect was, but three thousand miles alone was enough to make his scalp numb.

Traveling through three thousand miles of wilderness and mountains is no joke.

Monsters, poisonous insects, dangerous places, miasma, anything is enough to make them go without return.

"Fellow Taoist Chi, please allow me to go home and discuss it with my wife. Whether I leave or not, I will give you an answer before tomorrow morning!"

"Of course, then I'll just wait for the good news!" Chi Feiyan said with a smile and cupped his hands.

She could see that the other party was already moved, and there was a high probability that he would agree to this matter.

"By the way! I have two friends, can I bring them with me?"

Xu Mu thought of Lan Shijin and her daughter.

If we can bring two of us together, we can take care of each other.

"Of course!" Chi Feiyan agreed readily.

Xu Mu was about to leave when he thought of Su Qing again, so he asked, "Will Fellow Daoist Su leave with us?"

"She is too weak and has little value. Bringing her along will only be a burden!"

Chi Feiyan did not hide it and said it directly.

She and Su Qing also have a cooperative relationship.

She bought Xu Mu's elixir from the other party at a high price, and got to know Xu Mu through the other party. She did not rely on any friendship, but the spiritual stone in her hand.

"..."

Xu Mu finally understood why Su Qing had that expression.

Anyone who is abandoned by others will not be in a good mood.

As for the Song family, they probably won't take her with them.

After all, there must be more people in the Song family.

"Then I'll take my leave first!"

Just as Xu Mu was about to leave, Chi Feiyan suddenly said something intriguing.

"Master Xu, please don't go out tonight!"

"Thank you for reminding!"

Although the other party's words were a bit baffling, Xu Mu didn't ask any more questions, because if the other party wanted him to know, he would definitely tell him. If he didn't tell him now, it means he didn't want him to know.

After Xu Mu left, the middle-aged man asked strangely: "Miss, why are you so tolerant to him? Didn't the head of the family say that each person can only bring two people?"

The journey this time is long, and bringing one more person with you would be more dangerous.

The more people in the wilderness, the better.

"Of course it's because his talent is good enough! Judging from the fact that he is only over forty years old, he has a high chance of becoming a third-level alchemist in the future. We are escaping to Liyang Sect this time. Everything has to be started from scratch. If we can have one more It will be much easier for a potential alchemist!"

Chi Feiyan stood in front of the window, looking at Xu Mu disappearing in the rain curtain, and said leisurely:

"If you are really in danger, wouldn't it be a good abandonment?"
