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

Chapter 65: Purification of Spiritual Power

Leaving Yang City

A cold wind blew outside the window, but inside the room, warmed by the enchantment, it felt like spring.

"You're about to give birth, there's really no need for this!" Xu Mu said helplessly as he watched Ye Yingying eat again.

He only wanted to accompany her, but she always misunderstood his intentions.

"It's okay! As long as my husband is happy!" Ye Yingying snuggled up like a little greedy cat.

The two of them chatted for a while in private until they heard Xiao Ling'er's shout from outside the door, and had to get up to eat.

"Dad! Mom! You two are lazy bugs! Shame on you!" Standing at the door with two little horns tied to her head, two-year-old Xiao Ling'er pointed at her own little face and laughed.

Beside her, the white wolf, now half a person tall, stretched lazily and then walked gently to Xu Mu's side, rubbing against his pants.

Compared to Xiao Ling'er who played with it every day, it still felt closer to Xu Mu.

Perhaps because when it was on the verge of death, the first person it saw was Xu Mu.

"You little brat, what do you know!" Ye Yingying twisted her ear, her face slightly red.

Compared to before, Ye Yingying seemed more dignified.

"Mother! Please, it hurts! I was wrong! I was wrong!" Xiao Ling'er begged with a grimace.

She knew that in this family, she could ask for help from Aunt Leng and Aunt Lan, but asking for help from her father was completely useless, especially in front of her mother.

"Hmph!" Ye Yingying coldly snorted, pinched her little face, and then let her go.

"Eat! Go downstairs and eat!"

"Oh!"

Xiao Ling'er rubbed her little ears and pulled the white wolf over. With a flip, she rode on its back, and the white wolf jumped down to the first floor with her.

Xu Mu supported Ye Yingying and slowly went downstairs.

In the living room, Lan Shijin and Leng Yueling were already seated, as for Ouyang Ying and the other two, they had long stopped eating with them.

There weren't many dishes on the dining table, only a pot of rice porridge as red as ink.

The grains of rice inside were as clear as red jade, each one half a centimeter long, like red feathers.

This was the precious Phoenix Feather Rice, even more valuable than Xuanjing Rice. It grew near the mouth of a volcano, and one jin of it cost one medium-grade spirit stone, and it was not available for sale.

Xu Mu had bought some because of Chi Feiyan's relationship, specifically to nourish Leng Yueling and Ye Yingying.

Perhaps it was because the food they ate was becoming more and more expensive that Ouyang Ying and the other two felt embarrassed to join them.

The two of them were on their last legs, and it was indeed a waste to eat these things.

After eating, Xu Mu played with Xiao Ling'er and the three women for a while, and was about to go upstairs to cultivate when Zhang Yu ran over panting.

"Master, there's someone at the door looking for you!"

"Okay!"

Xu Mu got up and followed Zhang Yu towards the door.

I don't know from which day, but this little guy started using honorifics.

Standing at the door was a cultivator wearing crimson armor, with sharp eyebrows and eyes like knives.

It was none other than the captain of the patrol team, Yu Heng.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Xu Mu politely said.

"No need!"

Having known Xu Mu for some time, Yu Heng knew his character and didn't ask anymore.

He took out ten bottles of Xuan Yuan Pill from his storage bag and handed them over.

Yu Heng accepted the pills without inspecting them, and then handed a ticket that could be used to extract spirit stones to Xu Mu. He then cupped his hands and said, "If Fellow Daoist Xu ever encounters any trouble, you can come directly to the patrol team!"

"Fellow Daoist Yu is too kind!" Xu Mu smiled.

He sold the pills to the pharmacy at the price they agreed upon, all for the sake of this promise, right?

As for the regulations of the Alchemist Guild, could he really go and check with the head of the Liyang Sect?

"I still have something to do, let's talk another day!"

"Fellow Daoist Yu, feel free to go!" Xu Mu said.

Yu Heng turned around and quickly left. Xu Mu had Zhang Yu close the door and returned to the courtyard.

In the evening, Xu Mu frowned as he held the letters sent from Cuiling Fang Market.

"There are three fewer letters than last time. It seems that someone is indeed targeting the cultivators in Baihe Fang Market!"

As for who did it?

It was already obvious!

"The Luo family!"

Xu Mu was never a passive person.

After hearing the news from Chi Feiyan and realizing the risk of exposure, he quietly returned to Cuiling Fang Market and made some arrangements.

By bribing registered disciples of the Liyang Sect, he obtained information about some cultivators in Baihe Fang Market. He then disguised himself and approached them, using spirit stones to ask for their help in collecting information. Every few days, they would send him a letter with the compiled information.

Originally, he just wanted to monitor the movements of the Luo family, just in case.

But he didn't expect that the number of letters he received started decreasing half a month ago.

At first, Xu Mu thought it was just an accident.

After all, these people not only helped him collect information, but some of them also ventured into the jungle, so accidents were normal.

But as the letters became fewer and fewer, he finally realized the problem.

Someone was definitely secretly hunting the cultivators in Baihe Fang Market.

Who would be so bored?

The first person Xu Mu thought of was the Luo family.

Perhaps his guess is wrong!

Perhaps there is someone else!

It's even possible that it's just an accident!

But for Xu Mu, as long as there are signs, it is enough reason for him to take action.

"I underestimated the determination and ferocity of the Luo family!"

He didn't expect the other party to search for his whereabouts in such a simple and crude manner.

Now he only has two choices: either move his whole family to another sect, or take action to eliminate the danger.

The other party has now flattered the Gold Core Patriarch, who has great power. Xu Mu doesn't think that staying in Liyang City will make the other party unable to do anything to him.

Moving is unlikely!

The flying boats to other sects only depart every six months, and besides the expensive ticket price, there are various requirements.

But the most troublesome thing is that the flying boats are already booked before they even depart.

For a while, he can't get so many tickets to leave with everyone.

Also,

Ye Yingying is about to give birth!

The journey is long, and no one knows what might happen. If there is a slight accident, he will regret it.

As for going to other markets, if he really does that, it will only attract more attention from the other party.

And compared to other markets, Liyang City is actually safer.

So, dealing with the Luo family has become the best choice.

"But it's always good to be prepared. I need to buy the boat tickets. If I can't resolve the Luo family smoothly, I can still have a way out!"

"Ah! Living in this world is really tiring. Just when I finally had a few peaceful days, trouble comes knocking on my door!"

Xu Mu sighed and returned to his room, opening the system and allocating points.

...

[Spirit Flame Technique +1687]!

[Spirit Flame Technique Grandmaster; 0/3200]!

...

[Invisibility Technique +1842]!

[Invisibility Technique Grandmaster; 0/3200]!

...

[Fire Control Technique +417]!

[Fire Control Technique Grandmaster; 6148/1.28w]!

...

The Spirit Flame Technique is just an ordinary technique that Xu Mu has always wanted to replace, but he hasn't found a suitable one yet.

Now, in order to deal with the crisis, he can only improve it first.

Reaching the Grandmaster level in the Spirit Flame Technique gives Xu Mu the ability that all techniques have:

Purification of spiritual power!

By refining his own spiritual power again, Xu Mu, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, possesses spiritual power comparable to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Combined with his powerful mental power, Xu Mu now has the ability to refine the Ice Soul Cold Python Sword.

"I originally wanted to sell you, but in the end, I have to use you myself!"

Opening the cold iron sword case, Xu Mu gently touched the cold sword inside, murmuring to himself.

"I just hope that this time, you won't let down the reputation of being a fifth-grade spiritual weapon!"

Roar!

Soon, a majestic dragon roar came from the room.

...

"You're so daring! Hurry up and take it out!"

Lan Shijin, who was cooking in the kitchen, blushed and scolded.

"Don't worry, with my perception, they won't find out," Xu Mu smiled.

"You! Hmph!"

Lan Shijin was angry but couldn't do anything to Xu Mu, so she put her hands on the cutting board for vegetables.

After a long time, Xu Mu patted himself with two clean charms and asked, "How is the concealment formation you made for me?"

"It's already done. There are six sets in total. What do you need them for?" Lan Shijin asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. I'm planning to go out for a while!"

Xu Mu took the tools for setting up the formation and put them into his storage bag.

"While I'm away, I'll trouble you with taking care of the house!"

"Can't you wait for a while before leaving? Yingying is about to give birth!" Lan Shijin frowned.

"It's urgent. I can't wait!"

"Fine then! Be careful on your journey!"

After the two finished speaking, they tore off the soundproofing charm and carried the food into the living room.

"Husband, why are you taking so long to help?" Ye Yingying complained.

"The kitchen sink was a bit dirty, so I helped Fellow Daoist Lan clean it!" Xu Mu put the dishes on the table and picked up Xiaoling, placing her on a chair.

"It's because of you that it got dirty!" Lan Shijin said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"..." Ye Yingying and Leng Yue Ning listened in confusion.

Why do they remember that there is no sink in the kitchen? Isn't everything cleaned with spells?

...

Early the next morning, Xu Mu packed up everything, bid farewell to his family, and boarded the flying boat to Cuiling Market.
