Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 108: Forced into a Corner

One month later

Fantasy Sea City!

"Fellow Daoist Xu, these are spirit stones! If you have any more elixirs next time, make sure to come to me first!"

An amiable old man smiled and handed Xu Mu a storage bag containing spirit stones.

After counting the spirit stones, Xu Mu smiled and said, "Rest assured, Huang Shopkeeper. Next time I come to sell elixirs, I will definitely come to you first!"

Without much idle chatter, Xu Mu bid farewell and left.

After leaving, he changed his identity multiple times before arriving at the inn he was staying in.

"I didn't expect the Resplendent Youth Pill to be so popular! It seems like I made the right choice this time!"

Putting all the spirit stones into a storage bag and looking at the pile of high-grade spirit stones, Xu Mu felt extremely pleased.

Originally, he had prepared himself for a difficult battle. After all, he had no connections and didn't know any local cultivators. He only had some scattered information he had collected in advance, which was equivalent to starting from scratch.

But unexpectedly, after releasing a little bit of information in Fantasy Sea City, the owners of those medicine shops flocked to him. In less than a month, he sold all the Resplendent Youth Pills he had accumulated.

It was nothing like the predicament he faced when selling Foundation Building Pills.

But thinking about it, it was also normal. The Resplendent Youth Pill could be tested for its effectiveness as long as one took it. But who would dare to take the Foundation Building Pill?

Furthermore, other organizations were not lacking in Foundation Building Pills!

Another reason was that Xu Mu was too cautious when selling the elixirs in order to conceal his identity.

Originally, Foundation Building Pills were not easy to sell, and with his extra caution, others were even less willing to buy.

Fortunately, the profits from the Resplendent Youth Pill far exceeded his expectations. Even if he didn't have a channel to leave Yang Sect in the future, he could still live a comfortable life.

"I'll stroll around the city these days and buy some gifts for the girls before going back!"

Xu Mu thought to himself.

Bang! Bang!

Just as he was about to meditate and cultivate, there was a sudden knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

Xu Mu asked cautiously.

The Thunderstrike Sword had already appeared in his hand, with strands of lightning flickering on it.

In the inn where cultivators resided, it was impossible for a waiter to come knocking on the door unless he had called for it himself.

"Muyun Wan from the Heaven Patching Pavilion. I've come to pay my respects to Senior Alchemist Xu!"

A sweet and gentle voice came from outside, as if it was coated with sugar. It sounded sweet to the ears and heart.

Xu Mu's eyes flickered, becoming even more cautious.

This voice clearly had a bewitching effect.

"I am not surnamed Xu, nor am I an alchemist. You've got the wrong person!"

Xu Mu immediately denied it.

The woman outside giggled!

The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside with a snap.

A woman dressed in pink gauze walked in from outside.

With bright eyes and white teeth, a slender waist that could be held with one hand, her whole body was like a ripe peach in October, exuding infinite allure from head to toe.

But what caught people's attention even more was the crimson amaryllis flower on her forehead.

Xu Mu's face turned ugly.

What kind of top-ranked inn was this? How could someone just casually walk in like this?

Xu Mu secretly controlled the formation token, wanting to activate the formation in the room and escape through the window. Although the woman in front of him was only in the late stage of Foundation Building, she probably wouldn't be his match in a real fight. But Xu Mu didn't like taking risks, and besides, she was from the Heaven Patching Pavilion. If he really killed her, the trouble would probably be even greater than with Yang Sect.

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to activate the token, the formation showed no response.

"Senior Alchemist Xu, don't bother!"

Muyun Wan smiled enchantingly and produced a token out of thin air.

She placed the token on the table.

"Yours is a secondary token, while mine is the main token. Without my consent, the formation cannot be stopped!"

"The Heaven Patching Pavilion really knows how to do business!" Xu Mu gritted his teeth.

This was even more disgusting than in his previous life, where hotels would keep spare keys.

"Senior Alchemist Xu, instead of complaining about this, why not sit down and chat with this little girl?"

Muyun Wan smiled playfully, completely ignoring Xu Mu's sarcasm.

"I don't know Fellow Daoist, and I'm not the person Fellow Daoist is looking for. I really don't know what we have to talk about."

Xu Mu remained on guard.

The other party came uninvited and exposed such a hidden danger in the inn. It was likely that the person who came was not good.

"Isn't this something Fellow Daoist refined?" Muyun Wan took out a bottle of top-grade Resplendent Youth Pill and placed it on the table.

"It's not!" Xu Mu still denied it.

Muyun Wan didn't mind either and continued to smile, "This little girl doesn't have any ill intentions. As long as Senior Alchemist Xu signs this contract, you can leave freely!"

Muyun Wan took out a contract made of animal skin and placed it on the table. Seeing that Xu Mu didn't approach, she waved her sleeve and the contract flew in front of Xu Mu. Xu Mu couldn't help but look at it.

But just one look made Xu Mu almost have a brain hemorrhage.

"Hand over one-third of your divine soul and provide fifty years of free elixirs for Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist really dares to ask!" Xu Mu was so angry that his teeth almost shattered.

He had never even met the other party once, nor had he ever provoked the Butian Pavilion. On the contrary, the people from the Butian Pavilion, time and time again, inexplicably wanted to kill him.

Even that Senior Sister Bai back then, as soon as she appeared, without distinguishing right from wrong, wanted to capture him and use him as a cauldron.

This person was even more ruthless, directly making him a slave.

"I was just kindly pointing Fellow Daoist in the right direction. If Fellow Daoist doesn't thank me, that's fine, but why say such hurtful words!"

Muyun Wan had a look of a heartbroken concubine.

Xu Mu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

What kind of right direction is this? Clearly, it's a dead end!

"Muyun Fellow Daoist, I have never offended you, nor have I ever offended the Butian Pavilion even a bit. You're forcing me onto a dead end as soon as you come. Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"

Xu Mu suppressed his anger and asked.

"Hehe!"

Hearing Muyun Wan's light laughter.

"You're selling Resplendent Youth Pills in our Butian Pavilion's territory without even saying hello, and you say you haven't offended us?"

"..."

Xu Mu was speechless!

Didn't you say we couldn't sell?

Moreover, all the cultivation cities on the surface should be dominated by the Starry Sky Sect, with the Butian Pavilion and the Four Seas Immortal Palace as auxiliary forces. When did the Illusory Sea City become the territory of the Butian Pavilion?

But arguing about these things now clearly had no meaning, and the other party obviously had no intention of reasoning with him.

"If Fellow Daoist wants to talk about this matter, I am willing to offer half of the spirit stones as compensation!"

This was the other party's territory, at least the inn in front of Xu Mu was. He could only yield again, hoping for a peaceful resolution.

He didn't believe that Muyun Wan was really alone. There were likely experts at the Gold Core stage lurking around him.

If there were, struggling would be meaningless. If there weren't, resisting earlier or later wouldn't make a difference.

Of course, it would be best not to resort to violence!

In business, it's better to be polite.

Unfortunately, Xu Mu's forbearance did not lead to Muyun Wan backing down.

"I look down on your measly spirit stones!"

Muyun Wan licked her lips.

"What I want is you! A chicken that lays golden eggs continuously! Haha!"

Muyun Wan burst into loud laughter, as if she didn't care at all about Xu Mu's reaction.

At this moment, Xu Mu's face turned extremely ugly.

He realized that since the other party came in, they had been playing with him and never took him seriously.

As for the contract, whether it was signed or not, it was probably the same result!

"The Cangming Sea is not the territory of the Butian Pavilion, and I am not a lone wolf. Fellow Daoist, it's better not to push people too far!" Xu Mu said coldly.

"Hahaha!"

Muyun Wan seemed to have heard a great joke and laughed so hard that she almost bent over.

Then she abruptly stopped, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

"If you really had a backer, how could you sell a pill and hide your head and show your tail on our Butian Pavilion's territory! There must be some secret about you!" Muyun Wan stared at Xu Mu, her mouth curling up.

"And I have figured you out!"

"..."

Xu Mu was momentarily speechless.

He didn't expect that his cautious actions would become the reason for the other party to take action.

But he did indeed have many secrets, whether it was the existence of the system or the existence of the spatial rift.

If he were caught and interrogated, he would definitely be in big trouble.

And Muyun Wan was clearly not only interested in controlling him and making him help refine pills, but also very interested in the secrets on his body.

"Can I ask you one more question?" Xu Mu took a deep breath and asked.

"You're interesting. You can still remain calm at this time! I like it!" Muyun Wan licked her lips and smiled.

"Ask!"

"How did you find me?"

"Haha!"

Muyun Wan laughed again.

"With your little tricks, you can deceive ordinary scattered cultivators, but in front of our Butian Pavilion, it's a joke! To be honest, I just wanted to know who was selling Resplendent Youth Pills on my territory, but your extremely cautious actions have piqued my interest!"

"..."

Xu Mu had nothing to say.

Could this be considered lifting a rock only to smash one's own foot?

"Thanks for letting me know!"

"You're welcome!"

"To show my gratitude...

Chirp!

Suddenly, a blue sparrow stuck its head out from behind Xu Mu, opened its beak, and let out a long chirp.

Invisible sound waves spread in all directions.

At the same time, Xu Mu immediately displayed the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, surrounded by golden lightning, and his figure disappeared in an instant. The next moment, he appeared above Muyun Wan's head, the Thunder Slashing Sword in his hand bursting with a dazzling golden and blue light, slashing towards Muyun Wan.

"You can die now!"
