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

Chapter 74: Foundation Building Pill Formula

[Achievement Obtained: Stealing Jade and Stealing Fragrance!]

[Stealing Jade and Stealing Fragrance: Increases Luck value by 10 points every day!]

[Luck value: Can be used to improve skill proficiency, but cannot directly improve cultivation!]

...

"How could this happen?!"

Chi Feiyan lay there weakly, her eyes lifeless, like a puppet without strings.

Xu Mu had already left, but the room still retained a strong and unique smell.

She was not the kind of fool who would give things away for nothing, so before planning, she practiced some secret techniques.

Confident that she could control it!

The result was a complete failure!

The puddle of clear yellow water on the ground was the best proof.

"Damn it! If it continues like this, I'll really be giving it away for nothing!"

Unwilling, she sent another message to Xu Mu at night.

But the result remained the same, with even more water on the ground than yesterday.

After three consecutive days, she gave up completely!

"What kind of technique did you practice? Why did you improve so quickly?!"

In the dark night, Chi Feiyan glared at the blurry figure and said angrily.

"Maybe I'm naturally talented! Or maybe you're just too weak!" Xu Mu shrugged.

That non-human on the Cloud Summit of the Yun Ding Mountains was not my opponent, let alone your little tricks.

If it wasn't still useful, he wouldn't even need to make a move to kill you.

"I don't believe it! I want to try again!"

Chi Feiyan gritted her teeth and struggled to get up.

She was always strong-willed and didn't want to fail in anything.

The result was obvious.

"Perhaps you should consider taking a different path!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean if the front doesn't work, try the back. If you can't win from below, try from above!"

"..."

When Xu Mu left, Chi Feiyan's mind went blank.

This time, she had truly put her whole self into it, leaving no room for anything else.

At the same time, Xu Mu also obtained the coveted Foundation Building Pill formula.

"Now, as long as I accumulate enough Luck value and have the medicinal materials, breaking through Foundation Building is just a matter of moments!"

Xu Mu was in a great mood.

Boom! Boom!

Loud knocking came from outside.

From the front gate, it directly reached the attic.

"What's going on?"

Lan Shijin quickly stood up and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"I'll go and see!"

Xu Mu quickly tapped two purification symbols on himself, straightened his robe, and walked quickly outside.

Lan Shijin followed closely behind.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren, who lived closer to the front gate, had already come out and were standing at the door, looking nervous.

Ye Yingying had not fully recovered, and Leng Yue Ning was unable to move, so Xu Mu did not let them come out.

"What's going on?"

Xu Mu asked.

"I don't know. These people came and said they want to take us away!" Ouyang Ying frowned.

"Take us away?"

Xu Mu looked towards the door.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen cultivators standing at the door, all wearing dark red robes with a flame embroidered on their chests, and their cultivation was all at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Among them, a square-faced, thick-browed, and stern young man spoke, "Are you the master of this house?"

"That's right! I wonder what brings you here?" Xu Mu smiled and asked.

"Why so much nonsense? Immediately gather everyone and come with us!" The young man said impatiently.

"Fellow Daoist, you should at least let me know what's going on, right?" Xu Mu smiled apologetically.

"You'll find out when we get there! Do you think we would deceive you with our identities?" The young man said coldly.

"Well..."

Xu Mu wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by the other party.

"Are you stalling? Are you a spy from the demonic path?"

As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so cultivators behind the young man summoned their magical treasures, and for a moment, radiance flickered and their aura became fierce.

Damn it!

These disciples of the Liyang Sect are too arrogant!

Xu Mu cursed in his heart.

Yes, the flame patterns embroidered on their chests are indeed the symbol of the Liyang Sect.

Only disciples of the Liyang Sect dare to wear such clothes in Liyang City.

However, he doesn't remember what mistake he made, so why did someone suddenly come looking for him?

If it's because of the Luo family, they shouldn't have only sent a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

Just as Xu Mu took out a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill and wanted to hand it over, the young man didn't move at all, making Xu Mu feel very embarrassed.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Yuheng, who was patrolling nearby, noticed the commotion and rushed over with his men.

"Fellow Daoist Yuheng!"

Xu Mu hurriedly called out.

Yuheng is also a disciple of the Liyang Sect, perhaps he can help.

Yuheng glanced at him, nodded, and didn't speak. Instead, he bowed to the square-faced young man and said, "Senior Brother Zou, what's going on here?"

The square-faced young man looked at Yuheng, then at Xu Mu, and his expression eased slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Yuheng, we, the Law Enforcement Hall, have been ordered by the sect to bring these people back to the sect for questioning!"

"I wonder what they are being questioned about?"

"Naturally, it's about the demonic sect! Fellow Daoist Yuheng should also know about the Luo family's matter. Patriarch Lei Jizushi was furious when he heard about it this time and ordered us in the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate thoroughly!"

"May I ask, Senior Brother Zou, what does this investigation have to do with them?" Yuheng glanced at Xu Mu and the others, then continued, "I patrol here often and have not seen them leave Liyang City. Moreover, with their strength, they couldn't possibly be the culprits!"

Senior Brother Zou smiled bitterly, "Whether this investigation has anything to do with them being the culprits or not, it doesn't matter. The Hall Master has given the order that all the cultivators who have taken refuge from the Qinghe Sword Sect must be brought back for questioning!"

"..." Xu Mu was speechless.

Why is he so unlucky?

Are these Liyang Sect people too idle?

Yuheng frowned, realizing that he couldn't interfere in this matter.

Although he relied on the Refining Hall, which had the greatest influence in the sect, the Law Enforcement Hall had a special status and had been personally asked about by the Gold Core Ancestor. He was indeed powerless.

Seeing Yuheng's dilemma, Xu Mu quickly spoke up, "Fellow Daoists, it's not that I'm not cooperating, but my wife has just given birth and the other one is about to give birth. It's really inconvenient for me to move around! I wonder if Fellow Daoists can make some allowances?"

"I see!" Yuheng nodded and looked at Senior Brother Zou, "Senior Brother Zou, can you give me some face?"

Xu Mu had given him a lot of discounts when he refined pills on weekdays. If he didn't speak up at this time, not only would he lose face, but it would also be difficult to ask for help in the future.

"This..." Senior Brother Zou was a little hesitant.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to give Junior Brother face, but with the Ancestor's involvement at this time, if there's an investigation later, I really can't afford it! But if there's an elder in the sect who can vouch for them, we can make some concessions."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you know any elders?" Yuheng looked at Xu Mu.

"..." Only cultivators at the Foundation Building stage or above can become elders in the Liyang Sect. How could I...

Right!

Xu Mu hurriedly took out a jade talisman from his pocket and handed it over.

This was given to him by Chi Yangzi at the auction house.

"Elder Chi Yangzi?"

Senior Brother Zou took a look and recognized it, his face suddenly showing a bit more enthusiasm.

"So Fellow Daoist knows Elder Chi Yangzi, why didn't you say so earlier? We're all one family!"

Senior Brother Zou returned the jade talisman to Xu Mu, smiling, "That's good! The others don't need to go! Fellow Daoist, come with us, it's just a formality, you don't have to worry!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zou!"

Xu Mu's face showed a grateful expression, then he handed over another spirit stone without a trace. This time, Senior Brother Zou didn't refuse and skillfully put it into his storage bag.

"Now that everything's settled, I'll take my leave!" Yuheng bowed.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yuheng!"

Xu Mu stepped forward and discreetly handed over another spirit stone.

Yuheng didn't refuse, took it, and then turned and left.

After explaining to Lan Shijin, Xu Mu followed Senior Brother Zou and the others, heading towards the Liyang Sect.

...

Liyang Sect.

Law Enforcement Hall.

The closed, dark, and oppressive interrogation room.

"Next!"

A cultivator from the Qinghe Sword Sect, who was now a wandering cultivator, nervously walked in, unconsciously clutching his storage bag.

Before he could even observe the surroundings, a yellow brass ancient mirror above his head suddenly emitted a beam of white light, enveloping his body.

The wandering cultivator, who was still nervous, instantly relaxed, his expression becoming dull.

"Are you a member of the demonic sect?"

A voice came from the darkness.

"No!"

The wandering cultivator replied in a daze.

"Does the Luo family's matter have anything to do with you?"

"No!"

After asking a few more questions and confirming that he was not the one they were looking for, the light from the brass mirror quickly retracted.

The wandering cultivator, with a dull expression, suddenly came to his senses, looked around, and had no idea what had just happened.

Before he could ask, a force from the darkness sent him out directly.

"Next!"
