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

Chapter 42: Third Tier Robes

The crowd gathered into a line, walking slowly along the small path in the jungle.

The total number of people was close to a thousand.

Xu Mu and others were among them.

They were still on the outskirts of the jungle, so there was no need to worry about attracting the attention of demonic beasts. Everyone was still crowded together.

"Flowers... transformation...!"

Compared to the confusion about the future and the uncertainty of the road ahead, Xiao Ling'er, who was entering the jungle for the first time, was ecstatic.

She wanted to grab the grass, pick the flowers, pull a handful of leaves, and even wanted to fly up and chase after the butterflies!

Her happiness resolved a bit of the worries of the others.

It was midsummer now, and the jungle was extremely hot and humid. After walking for a while, some cultivators with weaker cultivation began to sweat profusely and had to find a place to sit and rest.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this!"

Looking at the sweat on Ye Yingying's forehead, Xu Mu suddenly remembered and took out two robes from his storage bag.

One blue!

One purple!

Both robes were third tier, made of spirit silkworm silk and golden thread, with more than a dozen formations engraved on them, such as the most common Dust Avoidance, Spirit Gathering, Tranquility, Gentle Rain, Wind Control, Wishful, and Body Protection, etc.

Among them, the Tranquility Formation and Gentle Rain Formation both had a cooling effect.

But the most precious one was the Body Protection Formation. When the wearer encountered danger, it could passively activate a third tier body protection spell.

For low-level cultivators, this body protection spell was their lifeline. For high-level cultivators, when it was their turn to activate the robe's body protection, they were basically on the verge of death.

So for high-level cultivators, robes were more for comfort and to display their identity.

Just like luxury goods in the previous life, they were not very practical.

After all, robes were limited by materials and it was difficult to engrave powerful formations on them.

Xu Mu took out the robes naturally to give one to Ye Yingying.

Of course, there was also one for himself!

These robes were all snatched by him. He used to be afraid to wear them, but now it didn't matter.

"Ying'er, which one do you like?"

"Is this for me?"

Seeing the faint spiritual light emanating from the two robes, Ye Yingying was so excited that her eyes almost sparkled.

"Of course it's for you! If you're not satisfied, I have more!" Xu Mu smiled.

"Satisfied! Satisfied!"

Ye Yingying nodded repeatedly.

Then she hesitated for a moment and chose the purple one.

A person relies on their clothes, and a Buddha relies on gold!

After putting on the robe, Ye Yingying was surrounded by spiritual energy and immediately became dazzling.

The people nearby looked at her with envy.

That was a third tier robe!

At least five pieces of high-grade spirit stones, they couldn't afford to buy them even if they sold themselves.

Blue Shijin was considered rich, but she only wore a first tier robe and didn't even want to wear a second tier one.

As for Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren, let alone, even if they had them, they wouldn't dare to wear them.

In fact, if Xu Mu hadn't been concerned about Ye Yingying's safety, he wouldn't have taken out the third tier robes, because it was indeed a bit eye-catching.

But there was no way, they were in the jungle now, danger could come from anywhere, with this robe, Ye Yingying would be much safer.

And there was the insect repellent formation on it, which could save a lot of trouble.

Of course, if someone dared to have ideas, he wouldn't mind making some extra money.

The robe had a formation that automatically adjusted its size, so there would be no problem with the fit.

After Ye Yingying put on the purple robe, Xu Mu put on the blue one.

He had never worn a robe before, but immediately felt a different feeling.

A gentle breeze surrounded him, and the faint spiritual energy automatically merged into his body, making his mood much more comfortable.

"This should be the effect of the Spirit Gathering and Tranquility formations! Not only is it comfortable to wear, but it probably also has a bonus to cultivation. It's really a luxury item!"

Xu Mu suddenly regretted not wearing it earlier.

Xiao Ling'er liked the new clothes of the two very much and touched them with her small hands.

Unfortunately, she was too small and no matter how the formations were adjusted, she couldn't wear them.

Considering the upcoming journey, Xu Mu took out several first tier robes and handed them to the others in the team.

This could reduce a lot of trouble and danger.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!" Zhang Shouren hurriedly declined.

Even the cheapest first tier robe cost forty to fifty low-grade spirit stones, which he couldn't afford.

But his grandson didn't let go, he had never worn such good clothes in his life.

"You can consider it as me lending it to you! Return it to me when we reach Luyang Sect!" Xu Mu laughed.

"..."

If only I had known, I wouldn't have been polite! Zhang Shouren complained in his heart.

Since Xu Mu said so, he no longer delayed and thought of repaying the favor in the future!

Ouyang Ying, on the other hand, accepted it openly and put it on directly.

The weather was too hot and stuffy. With this robe, it would be much easier.

Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening declined.

They had their own.

Xu Mu didn't bother with them either and took it back since they didn't need it.

Everyone in their group wore the robes, and they suddenly seemed more high-end. The wandering cultivators who traveled with them looked at them with awe.

Of course, there were also those who became envious and jealous.

Like Zhou Chong!

Their group was not far from Xu Mu and Ye Yingying, who were wearing third-grade robes. Zhou Chong saw them at a glance.

"I didn't expect that old man to be so rich! If I had known, I would have let them join the group. Maybe I could have gotten a robe too!" Zhou Chong regretted.

With his status, he could afford a robe, but he had always been reluctant to buy one.

After all, ordinary robes were somewhat mediocre except for being comfortable to wear.

"Brother Zhou, it's simple if you want a robe!"

A pale-faced cultivator next to him made a cutting gesture.

"Cough! Let's talk about it later!" Zhou Chong lowered his voice.

On the surface, he made a living by hunting and killing demonic beasts, but in reality, he often played the role of a bandit.

Or rather, as long as they were cultivators who hunted and killed demonic beasts, they usually didn't mind playing the role of a bandit. After all, it was a matter of life and death for them.

"Then I'll go contact the others first!" The pale-faced cultivator said.

Zhou Chong nodded.

Doing such things naturally couldn't be done alone.

He had his own team that he often cooperated with!

Moreover, he knew many colleagues. If there was a big target, he could quickly gather a large group of wicked individuals.

To them, the entire group was prey.

After all, only a very small number of people could survive and reach Luyang Sect. Instead of benefiting those demonic beasts, it was better to benefit us!

Zhou Chong was not the only one with such thoughts!

These nights in the past few days probably wouldn't be so peaceful!

Time flew by!

As the sky darkened, everyone dispersed into small teams and set up campsites, pitching tents and preparing to rest.

Xu Mu and the others rarely ventured into the wilderness, let alone camping, so they didn't prepare tents.

Fortunately, there was the old man Ouyang Ying!

Not only did he prepare, but he also prepared several tents!

And various wilderness supplies.

Although most of the things were useless to him, Xu Mu still felt that it was a wise decision to have him join the group.

Now, when everyone gathered together on the outskirts, it was not apparent. But when they reached the depths of the jungle, Ouyang Ying's value would truly be reflected.

Three tents were set up in total. Xu Mu's family of three had one, Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening's mother and daughter had one, and Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren, the grandfather and grandson, had one.

Two people were assigned to keep watch, Xu Mu for the first half of the night and Lan Shijin for the second half.

There was no choice. They were the ones with the highest cultivation level.

Leng Yuening was also in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but she lacked experience, and Xu Mu wasn't petty enough to argue about this.

Late at night, Xu Mu sensed someone using invisibility spells or similar techniques, silently leaving their tent and heading towards a distance.

Xu Mu frowned but didn't pay any attention.

After changing shifts with Lan Shijin, he didn't immediately fall asleep and remained vigilant. It was his first time spending the night in the jungle, and he was still somewhat unaccustomed.

"Husband!"

"What's wrong?"

"I want to..."

"..."

Late at night, in the silence of the wilderness!

Time passed quickly, and a day soon passed!

The next day, just as the sky was getting bright, the group suddenly became restless!

Someone died!

Not just one!
