call!

The wind howled in my ears.

After undergoing light weight surgery, Xu Mu ran with all his strength for the first time.

The strong air resistance made him feel like he was moving through mud.

In reality, the situation is

His body was like electricity, and he could cover a distance of several feet with one step, as if he was riding on the wind.

Fortunately, he also had an invisibility spell on him, and it was in the dark, so no one could see this amazing scene.

The sound of wind caused by the body was also covered up by the night wind, and no one noticed it.

When passing by the alley in front of his house, Xu Mu did not stop and continued running forward.

It wasn't until we were about to leave the shanty town that we slowed down.

The moon passed through the dark clouds and cast its light. Looking far into the distance, one could see the lush trees of Baihe Forest in the distance.

"We can't go any further!"

While the invisibility technique had not disappeared, Xu Mu quickly dodged into a nearby abandoned house.

If the area where Xu Mu lives is a slum in Baishifang City, then the area near Baihe Forest is a slum among slums.

They had no clothes to cover their bodies, no food to eat, and the house they lived in was leaking from all sides.

The only advantage is that there is no rent here.

Xu Mu hid in the corner of the abandoned house, raised his ears, listened to every move outside the house, and silently counted the time in his heart.

About half an hour passed!

Except for the night wind and the roar of beasts in the distant mountains, there was no movement.

"It looks like there are no pursuers!"

Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, cast an invisibility spell on himself again, walked lightly and hurried towards his home.

Whoops!

The night wind kept blowing by me.

The moonlight was once again covered by dark clouds, and the sky and earth were pitch black.

In the shadows, there seems to be a ghost showing its teeth and claws.

In order to avoid being noticed, Xu Mu could only move forward in the dark.

"Maybe you can consider practicing a spiritual spell next time!"

Xu Mu thought secretly in his heart.

"I remember that there is a far-sighted spell in the magic book. I wonder if it is useful at night?"

The dark clouds passed by, the silver-white moonlight fell, and the familiar decay of the alley appeared in Xu Mu's sight.

"Not only did we solve the hidden crisis of Sun Daocheng this time, but we also got a storage bag. Maybe there is something valuable in it. It can be said that the harvest is quite fruitful!"

Xu Mu, who was curious about what was in the storage bag, walked briskly and felt like he was returning home.

But when I thought about Sun Daocheng being a gambler and slovenly, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to look forward to.

"But the power of the compressed fireball is far beyond my imagination!"

At that time, he only wanted to kill with one strike and did not dare to hold back, almost compressing the flames to the limit.

Sun Daocheng was killed on the spot without any resistance. Even he was almost injured by the explosion, which was as powerful as the explosives in his previous life.

"The power of the compressed fireball has probably surpassed the second-level spell and reached the level of a third-level spell! Let alone Sun Daocheng, who has three levels of Qi training, even if he has five or six levels of Qi training, without powerful defense means, he will probably be blown up on the spot. die!"

"The only regret is that the attack speed is too slow and consumes too much time!"

At that time, he had just started to compress the fireball when he was noticed by Sun Daocheng. If the level of light body technique was not high enough, Sun Daocheng might have run away.

Sun Daocheng was also an old man. When he noticed something unusual, he threw out the poison pill and ran away without any intention of exploring or fighting.

"Um?"

Xu Mu, who was thinking about something while walking, suddenly felt a little cold on his back.

He turned around sharply.

There is no one behind me!

Only the night wind blows up the fallen leaves!

There were also discarded clothes from unknown families hanging on the wall, flying in the wind like mummies.

He quickened his pace uneasily.

The chill on my back became heavier and heavier, and it gradually became a little cold.

Xu Mu didn't know if it was his own illusion or if there was something real. He could only speed up his pace desperately.

The coldness is getting heavier and heavier, like carrying ice cubes on my back.

There is definitely a problem!

He held his breath and ran home almost as fast as he could!

But the coldness followed him like a shadow, as if it was sticking to his back, trying to freeze his whole body.

Spreading his five fingers, Xu Mu was about to release the flames when a warm breath suddenly came from his chest and flowed throughout his body, instantly offsetting most of the coldness behind his back.

At this time Xu Mu had already entered the alley.

A few people walked to the door and pushed in.

Ye Yingying obeyed his instructions and did not lock the door.

Lock the door quickly.

He flexed and stretched his five fingers, and with a pop, a large ball of orange flame ignited.

hiss!

The fire eyes turned into ferocious fire snakes, surrounding his entire body.

Xu Mu reached out and touched his back.

There was nothing outlandish, just a cold sweat dripping down my spine.

He reached into his arms again and took out the almost burned-out evil amulet.

"There are really evil spirits in shantytowns!"

Xu Mu was a little frightened.

He has lived in Baishifang City for so many years and has only heard about it. Today is the first time he encountered it.

Although I was a little frightened, I didn't have much fear.

The situation at that time was just that it was not convenient for him to use fire control. Otherwise, he would not be unable to kill ordinary evil spirits.

“But from now on, it’s better not to go out late at night!”

If there's only one person he can deal with, what if there's a group of them?

After checking his body up and down several times and waiting quietly for half an hour, Xu Mu gently knocked on the bedroom door.

"Ying'er, I'm back!"

There was no response from the bedroom, but a red, almond-shaped eye appeared from the crack in the door.

After confirming that it was Xu Mu many times, Ye Yingying opened the door carefully.

"Ms. sir!"

Ye Yingying said nothing, she just threw herself into Xu Mu's arms and buried her head deeply.

"make you worry!"

Xu Mu gently stroked her inky hair.

"Is Ling'er asleep?"

"Um!"

"Then you should go to bed early too!"

"I want you to hold me!"

"haha okay!"

Xu Mu reluctantly smiled and agreed.

After putting the older one to sleep, Xu Mu quietly left the bedroom and went to the utility room. With a flick of his finger, a red firebird appeared, hovering above his head to provide him with light.

Take out the storage bag obtained from Sun Daocheng. After refining, take out the contents one by one.

a book!

A pill furnace!

Two bottles of elixir!

Five medicinal ingredients!

Twelve low-grade spiritual stones!

As well as some common clothing and daily necessities!

The book is an alchemy book, recording the three types of elixirs that Sun Daocheng knew and his experience in refining them.

The three types of elixirs are Jingyuan Pill, Rotten Bone Pill, and Chalcedony Pill.

Jingyuan Dan is a first-level elixir that replenishes vitality. It is said to be very popular among regular customers.

The Rotten Bone Pill is a poisonous pill. After it is successfully refined, it can be shot through a special technique to form a corrosive poisonous gas.

Not only can it corrode flesh and blood, but it can also corrode the practitioner's protective spiritual power.

The power is not particularly strong, but the attack range is large and the duration is long.

The green pill that Sun Daocheng threw to attack him at that time was the Rotten Bone Pill.

It's a pity that Xu Mu, who was blessed with light body technique, easily dodged it and did not exert any power.

Chalcedony Pill is the only second-level elixir among the three elixirs, and it is also the first second-level elixir that Xu Mu has come into contact with.

Chalcedony Pill has the effect of improving cultivation talents and enhancing physical fitness. Some big families like to use it to lay the foundation for their descendants.

At first, Sun Daocheng wanted to fool him with the prescription and formula of this elixir.

"Reading the annotations in the book, I'm afraid he has only scratched the surface! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so poor!"

However, the reason why Sun Daocheng was poor, apart from his lack of academic skills, was probably due to laziness, and he only thought about getting something for nothing all day long.

Otherwise, even if you cannot become wealthy, at least you will have enough food and clothing.

It turns out that Xu Mu's alchemy skills are not much better than his. He lives in Fangshi and is married to a wife.

If it were not affected by the battle between the two sects, he would not have come to the shanty town.

It's just that I haven't seen the refining method of the Infant Blood Pill, which is a bit strange.

But Xu Mu didn't think much about it. Even if he had it, he would just burn it.

He put the alchemy book away without studying it too much.

Then he picked up the alchemy furnace and began to examine it.

As an alchemist, my love for alchemy furnaces is engraved in my bones.

The more Xu Mu looked at the alchemy furnace in his hand, the brighter his eyes became.

"This is actually a first-order mid-grade alchemy furnace! This old guy doesn't look as simple as I thought!"

Just now he complained about the other party's lack of academic skills, but now it seems that this is not what he thought.

His alchemy furnace was a first-level low-grade one, and he spent one hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones when buying it.

As for the first-level middle-grade alchemy furnace, the cheapest one costs 300 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.

If you can afford such an expensive alchemy furnace, you must have two brushes on hand

"I should be considered rich now!"

Xu Mu held the alchemy furnace and couldn't put it down.

No wonder others say that the gold belt for murder and arson really brings in money too quickly.

"I didn't expect this old guy to be so poor that he wouldn't even be willing to sell the alchemy furnace!"

"But that's right. If he really sold the alchemy furnace, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now!"

An alchemist without an alchemy furnace is no different than a beggar on the roadside.

After reluctantly putting the alchemy furnace away, Xu Mu picked up two bottles of elixirs and checked them.

One bottle is the Rotting Bone Pill, and the other is the Bigu Pill.

Xu Mu looked at it for a moment and then put it away.

The spiritual stone was naturally in his pocket.

As for the remaining clothes, they were completely worthless and were burned by him.

Put the three things back into Sun Daocheng's storage bag.

Xu Mu then found a place and buried it.

Although I thought it was unlikely to be too much trouble, for the sake of safety, I decided to hide it for a few days before dealing with it.

the next day

The autumn sunshine is warm and comfortable.

Residents in the alleys walked out of their homes one after another, either going to work in Fangshi, or going to Baihe Forest for hunting and gathering, and they were all busy.

Xu Mu observed through the crack in the door for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, returned to the utility room and started refining the Qi Gathering Pill.

Three or four days passed in a row!

Calm and calm!

Sun Daocheng's death seemed to have no impact on the entire world.

At least no one in the alley where Xu Mu was was acting abnormally.

Including the Li brothers who Xu Mu always paid attention to.

In fact, Xu Mu considered solving the problem of the Li brothers together.

However, these two people are different from Sun Daocheng. Their strength and methods are unknown. If they act rashly, they may capsize.

So I decided to take a look at the situation first, improve my strength along the way, and then find an opportunity to solve it.

"Damn it! This old guy won't die in that smelly ditch, right?"

The man in charge of collecting the rent kicked Sun Daocheng's door hard. Seeing that there was no response from inside, he cursed and went to the next house.

The rent collected here is fixed. Unless you pay it for several months in a row, you will be waiting at home when the time comes.

Soon, Xu Mu’s house was received.

"Starting from next month, the rent will increase to two low-grade spiritual stones!"

"Why?"

"How do I know why? It's been ordered from above. If you want to live there, you can live there. If you don't want to live there, just move to Baihe Forest!"

After saying that, Yaren turned and left.

Xu Mu looked at the other person's back, frowning in thought.

Originally, he thought about moving back to Fangshi after he got rich.

Now that prices in shantytowns have increased, I'm afraid the prices in the city will go even higher.

"It's really strange. There are only so many people in the city. They raised the rent so high and drove everyone away. Who will they rent to?"
