"What's going on?"

Xu Mu hurriedly got up and rushed into the bedroom.

Seeing Ye Yingying pointing to a corner of the roof, her little face was pale and she was trembling.

Xu Mu held it in his arms, followed his fingers, and looked up.

The next moment, his pupils shook slightly.

A moldy, severed hand is stuck in the corner of the roof!

Fortunately, there was no movement in that hand!

"Whew!"

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Xu Mu found a wooden stick and stabbed it down.

The severed hands were covered with dark blue mold silk, dry like old bacon, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman.

Xu Mu endured the nausea and found a piece of cloth to wrap it.

Out!

Throw it into the sewer at the mouth of the alley.

Ye Yingying was protected by his father since she was a child, she was simple-minded, she had no knowledge, and when she encountered this kind of thing rashly, she was a little frightened for a while, and Xu Mu calmed her down for a while.

"Xianggong, am I too useless?"

Ye Yingying shrunk in her arms, looking at Xu Mu with red eyes.

Xu Mu rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "You just see less, and you will get used to it in the future." ”

This is not the peaceful and prosperous era of the previous life, this is the world of cultivating immortals where the weak eat the strong, and human life is like mustard, even if Xu Mu feels sorry for his wife, he can only make her a little stronger.

However, she is only twenty-eight years old, and she is already very good to behave like this.

At least, she has never complained about the hardships of life, and she has never blamed Xu Mu for being incompetent.

Although it was just an ordinary-looking severed hand, it still cast a haze on Xu Mu's heart.

Just in case, Xu Mu bought an evil talisman in Fang City and asked Ye Yingying to keep it close to him.

The already pitiful savings are even more stretched.

Fortunately, as long as he can still refine the pill, he can always accumulate it slowly.

In the following days, in addition to taking care of his wife's diet and daily life, Xu Mu devoted most of his time to refining Bigu Dan.

After accumulating a certain amount of pills, they will be sold in the shops of Fang Market.

He has been an alchemist for so many years, and he has a fixed cooperative shop, but he doesn't have to worry about sales.

It's just that the price of the shop is much lower than the original stall.

However, Ye Yingying was about to give birth, and he didn't dare to leave for too long, so in order to avoid accidents, he could only sell it at a low price.

In addition to refining the elixir, Xu Mu also squeezed out a little time to practice the fire resistance technique.

Whether it was the tooth man's reminder, or the moldy severed hand, and those eccentric neighbors, it gave him a deep sense of insecurity.

In order to deal with any unexpected that may arise, he must take every opportunity to improve his strength as much as possible.

Even if it's just a tiny little bit.

In the room, an orange-red flame bird the size of a palm flew out of Xu Mu's hand and slammed into the stones on the ground.

Boom!

There was a clear sound from the point where the bird and the stone collided, as if someone had taken a hammer and smashed it.

The stone shook slightly, leaving a shallow black crater with burn marks, and the birds, after impact, dispersed into wisps of sparks, flew into the air, and reunited.

"It's a pity, it's still a little worse than the fireball technique!"

Xu Mu said with some regret.

Fire Resistance is not a pure combat spell, although he has cultivated to the mastery level, but compared to the Fireball Technique, spells such as the Wind Blade Technique are still much less powerful.

However, the real advantage of fire resistance is not the attack power, but the ability to fight continuously, and the means are flexible.

Like what

The flying bird in the air, under Xu Mu's control, suddenly turned into a fire snake, wrapped dozens of catties of stones, and slowly lifted it from the ground.

Perhaps because the stone slab was too heavy, after mentioning the height of half a meter, the fire snake thudn, and once again scattered into a sky full of sparks, and the stone also fell with a thud and smashed to the ground.

The sparks converged again, this time not as a bird or as a fiery serpent, but as a ball of fire.

The fireball continued to rotate and compress, from the original orange red, gradually to blood red, and finally dark red, and then fell on the stone, exploding with a thud, and immediately bursting the stone slab.

Xu Mu let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

This is a trick he developed based on the physics knowledge of his previous life, which is compressed by flames to form a powerful blasting force.

More powerful than the Fireball Technique!

The only downside is that you need to re-release the flame after using it.

Xu Mu rested for a while, recovered some spiritual power, snapped his fingers in his right hand, and with a pop, a flame burned in his fingertips.

This is an ignition technique that is not even a first-order spell, and almost all cultivators can, as long as they inject spiritual power, they can infinitely amplify the flames.

It is perfect for using it to match the use of fire resistance.

The flames converged in the air, turning into a new fiery serpent and flying towards the stone.

Such days passed quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the days of Ye Yingying's production were getting closer and closer.

……

evening

After Ye Yingying ate, she felt a little unwell, so Xu Mu asked her to go back to the room to rest first, and she was responsible for cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

Looking at the bottom of the bowl that was eaten by Ye Yingying, Xu Mu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

"Recently, I have saved some spirit stones, so let's go to Fang Market tomorrow to buy some spirit rice for Yingying! And the food for confinement also has to be prepared! ”

Xu Mu frowned, calculating in his heart how to use the few spirit stones in order to maximize his use.

Just thinking about it, it's still overstretched.

The cheapest spiritual rice in the market, a piece of low-grade spiritual stone can only be bought for five catties, like meat with spiritual energy is even more expensive, usually a piece of low-grade spiritual food can only be bought for one catty.

Recently, prices have been rising due to the war.

Alas!

It's really a poor couple!

Just when Xu Mu was busy and was about to go back to the room to take care of his wife, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

"Who would it be on such a night?"

Xu Mu vigilantly took out a few talismans, pinched them in the palm of his hand, and walked towards the gate.

Although nothing unusual was found in the vicinity during this time, he had heard all kinds of terrifying rumors about the shantytown, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Who's out there?"

Xu Mu shouted.

"Xu Daoyou, it's me!"

An old voice came in from outside.

Xu Mu frowned slightly, and judging from his voice, he was an old Danshi who lived at the mouth of the alley.

The old Dan Master's name is Sun Daocheng, who is over eighty years old, and he has often come to the door recently, chatting with Xu Mu in the name of discussing Dan Dao.

Xu Mu was not easy to refuse when he first arrived, and he also wanted to learn about the surrounding situation from the other party, so he would let him in every time.

However, the other party usually comes during the day and at night, and this is the first time.

Xu Mu looked through the crack in the door and made sure that Sun Daocheng was the only one before opening the door, but he didn't let him in.

Sun Daocheng outside the door was wearing a greasy robe, with a black and gray body, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were a lot of eye feces in the corners of his eyes, as if he hadn't rested for a few days.

"Sun Daoyou, is there anything wrong with you coming here so late?"

Looking at Sun Daocheng, who was even more sloppy than before, Xu Mu asked suspiciously.

"Something, indeed!"

Sun Daocheng's wrinkled old face squeezed out a smile like a chrysanthemum.

He first looked inside, and then whispered: "Xu Daoyou, I don't know my brother and sister, how long will it take to give birth?" ”

“……”

Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of vigilance.

"Sun Daoyou, why are you asking this?"

"Hey, hey!"

Sun Daocheng smiled and rubbed his hands, his eyes were a little fanatical.

"I have the refining method of the Infant Blood Pill in my hand, if you want to ......"

"Get out!"

Xu Mu's face turned blue for a moment, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

He had heard from the little couple next door that this old guy was not a good thing, but he didn't know it at first, so he had something to do with him.

Unexpectedly, he actually had this kind of idea.

I am afraid that the enthusiasm shown in recent days is not directed at him, but at the child in his wife's womb.

"Don't be angry! That's good, I'll come out with other medicinal materials, and we'll get half of the points after practice! ”

Without waiting for Sun Daocheng to finish speaking, Xu Mu slammed the door and closed the door.

"Hey! Xu Daoyou, don't worry! If not, we may still discuss! How about you or you? It's really not good, and it's okay to do it! ”

Sun Daocheng, who was outside the door, shouted a few more times unwillingly.

And Xu Mu had already gone back to the bedroom with a gloomy face.

Seeing that Xu Mu did not respond for a long time, Sun Daocheng couldn't help but be a little angry.

"I can't support myself anymore, and I still have children! I'm sick in the head! ”

The reason why he went to Xu Mu's house these days was to inquire about their family's situation.

It was precisely because he knew that their family was living a difficult life that he dared to come over and say such things, but he didn't expect Xu Mu to be so unkind in his mind that he actually rejected his kindness.

"Raising a child is a loss-making business, the woman grows up to get married, and the man you have to provide him with cultivation, if you hand it over to me, you can immediately earn more than half a year's income, and when the time comes, whether it is to go to the gambling house, or to go to the hook bar, you can be happy as much as you want! What an idiot! ”

Sun Daocheng flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with a scolding, and walked towards his home at the mouth of the alley.

Just halfway through, the door on the side suddenly creaked and opened from the inside.

The rich bloody aura suddenly permeated out.

"Sun Daoyou, since he doesn't want to, why don't the three of us cooperate?"

Behind the door were twin brothers with sneers on their lips and pale as paper.

"This ......"

Looking at the two, Sun Daocheng's expression was somewhat jealous.

He has lived in this alley for many years, and he is no stranger to these two people, knowing that one of them is named Li Wen and the other is called Li Wu, and they are privately specialized in robbery and repair without capital.

It is said that the practice is also very strange, and it requires sucking blood from time to time.

However, he himself is not a good stubble to be bullied, although he is afraid of the two of them, but he is not too afraid.

Touching the empty pockets, considering the large amount of debt owed in the gambling house, Sun Daocheng finally gritted his teeth and walked in.

Some things are in shanty towns, but no, if you don't say yes, you'll be fine.
