Chapter 8 Strangling the Crisis

"Ying'er, you stay at home, I'll visit next door!"

Xu Mu walked out of the house and knocked on the door next door.

Creak!

The door opened from the inside, revealing two chubby figures.

A man and a woman, both in their thirties.

The man's name is Jia An, and the woman's name is Li Moqing.

Xu Mu had visited them when he first came, and he would say hello when he went out occasionally, so he was relatively familiar.

"Xu Daoyou, why do you have time to come?"

Jaan squeezed out a smile.

Li Moqing on the side looked a little displeased.

"In the past few days, the little girl has disturbed the two of you by crying, and please don't blame the two Taoist friends, there is a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill here, it should be regarded as an apology for the two!"

As he spoke, Xu Mu handed over a bottle of freshly refined Qi Gathering Pill.

"Qi Gathering Pill ?!!"

Jia An and his wife were directly shocked.

A bottle of Qi Gathering Pill is worth ten lower-grade spirit stones, and their husband and wife may not be able to earn so many spirit stones in two months.

"This, this is too precious, Xu Daoyou should take it back!"

Jia An shirked on his lips, but he couldn't use any force in his hands.

Li Moqing, the wife on the side, had a light in her eyes and couldn't help but want to stretch out her hand.

Xu Mu smiled and put the pill in Jia An's hand that he wanted to take but didn't dare to take.

"A small gift, not a tribute, if there is anything wrong in the future, please bear with me!"

"Xu Daoyou is too polite! We are all neighbors and should help each other! It's normal for children to cry! Actually, both of us like children! ”

Jia An put the Qi Gathering Pill into the storage bag, and the smile on his face became extremely sincere.

Li Moqing's displeased face also rippled with a warm smile.

In the past few days, Xu Ling's crying has really annoyed the husband and wife, but it is difficult to say anything because of their face.

But now.

Well!

The crying sound is so pleasant!

"The two of you can be considerate, and I am grateful!"

Xu Mu thanked him again.

"Xu Daoyou!"

Jia An looked left and right at the alley behind Xu Mu, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he lowered his voice and said: "I have seen you and Lao Sun Tou walking very close recently, you better be careful, I saw the day before yesterday that he entered the door of the Li brothers!" ”

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Xu Mu's eyes flickered and he didn't say anything.

Say goodbye and leave!

When he returned home, thinking of Sun Daocheng's actions in the past few days, Xu Mu began to feel a little restless.

"This old guy must be dealt with!"

Although he couldn't be 100% sure that Sun Daocheng wanted to harm him, Xu Mu couldn't afford to gamble.

For the sake of wives and daughters, this kind of thing must be strangled in the cradle.

He returned to the utility room, opened the newly purchased encyclopedia of spells, and flipped to the page where invisibility was recorded.

Memorize carefully, figure it out, and then start cultivating.

Like most low-level spells, invisibility is easy to learn and difficult to master.

It only took half an hour for Xu Mu to learn.

borrowed Ye Yingying's bronze mirror and put it in front of him.

Xu Mu pinched the magic trick in his hand, and the spiritual power in his body surged, transforming into wonderful mana, covering his whole body.

In the mirror, he disappeared in front of him out of thin air.

But after only three breaths, his figure reappeared.

"It's too short, and it's gone if you move a little! Completely useless! ”

But it's also normal.

The first-order spell was originally very ineffective.

If the power of each is amazing, then everyone has practiced spells, and who is going to buy magic weapons.

Especially in the introductory stage, it is not as good as chicken ribs.

Ordinary cultivators gave up after a little fumbling.

It's just a waste of time.

If you have that time, it is better to concentrate on improving your cultivation, earning money, and buying more powerful magic weapons.

But Xu Mu is different.

He has a system!

Open the system interface, and sure enough, it shows stealth.

[Introduction to stealth; 1/100】

Xu Mu, who was already familiar with the road, directly invested 99 points on it.

[Stealth skillful; 0/200】

It is not difficult to go from beginner to proficient, if Xu Mu works hard to cultivate, he can achieve it in one or two months.

Therefore, it is easy to complete the fusion of cultivation experience.

Recently, he has found the trick to the continuous use of the system.

At the beginning of the skill, it is not cost-effective to use Qi luck to increase.

The more normal people go to the back of their cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and there are still bottlenecks when breaking through the level.

And the luck value completely ignores this.

A little experience at the beginning and a little experience at the grandmaster level consume exactly the same amount of luck.

In reality, it is difficult for the Grandmaster level to increase a little experience, which may be dozens of times that of the entry-level level.

In this case, it is actually the most cost-effective way to use it when you cultivate by yourself when you get started, and then use your luck value when it is difficult to improve in the later stage.

However, this time, in order to nifle the crisis, he could only use Qi Luck Points.

Xu Mu used the stealth technique again, this time maintaining more than five breaths, and his body could make small movements.

However, it's still chicken ribs!

Xu Mu was not only a little hesitant!

If he can't achieve the effect he wants in the end, it will be in vain.

Take a deep breath, suppress these messy thoughts, and start to rise again.

Now that you've made your decision, don't hesitate any longer.

[Invisibility +50]!

[Invisibility +50]!

[Invisibility +50]!

……

[Stealth mastery; 0/400】

This time, Xu Mu used it again, and he could already take twenty breaths of invisibility, and he could walk slowly.

Unfortunately, it still didn't achieve the effect he wanted.

Keep improving!

[Invisibility +10]!

[Invisibility +10]!

[Invisibility +10]!

……

[Stealth is complete; 0/800】

This time, the stealth technique finally made a qualitative leap.

It can be invisible for sixty breaths, and it will not disappear when it runs around.

"Almost!"

Qi luck is precious, and Xu Mu doesn't want to consume too much on this kind of thing.

……

Time flies

On this day, near evening, Xu Mu decided to go out and go to Fang Market to sell pills.

Before leaving, he pasted five forbidden charms on the four walls of his bedroom and on the roof.

"I may come back later today, and if there is danger, you can activate these five talismans immediately!"

"And this!"

Xu Mu took out the two talismans and put them in Ye Yingying's soft palm.

"It's dangerous outside, so you should keep it!"

Ye Yingying wanted to excuse herself.

Since she married Xu Mu, she has never seen him go out at night.

Even if Ye Yingying is simple-minded, she is faintly aware.

"Obedient!"

Xu Mu didn't explain too much, Ye Yingying was still the same as before, obedient and obedient.

After a sigh, he took out a talisman from his bosom.

It was the evil talisman that Xu Mu once bought for her.

"Then you take this, it's not safe at night!"

"Good!"

This time, Xu Mu did not refuse.

He remembered the reminder of the former tooth man, and the moldy severed hand.

He is confident in his own strength.

But I'm not sure about those strange things.

"Just close the door, don't lock it, the bedroom door must be locked! I'll call you if I'm back! ”

"Hmm!"

Ye Yingying nodded.

A hint of uneasiness rose in my heart.

But she didn't say it, she was afraid that Xu Mu would worry.

Saying goodbye to his wife and walking out of the house, Xu Mu hurried towards Fang City.

After arriving at the market, many shops have begun to pack up their things and prepare to close.

Only a handful of shops are still open and have become lively, such as the Goolan, such as the gambling house.

After arriving at the Song family's pharmacy, after explaining his intentions, the maid led him into the back hall.

The person in charge of the medicine test is still the bald old man.

Because it has only been a few days, the old man still has an impression of Xu Mu, and once again mentioned the signing of the contract, but the result was naturally rejected by Xu Mu.

Four bottles of Qi Gathering Pill were exchanged for twenty lower-grade spirit stones, as well as fifteen Qi Gathering Pills of refining materials.

After leaving Fang City, Xu Mu bought twenty catties of spirit rice and five catties of demon beast meat in a nearby store.

It's a lot more expensive than the stalls in the market, but now that the market is closed, he can only buy them in the store.

After buying all the things, Xu Mu did not leave the market immediately, but found a hidden corner and performed stealth techniques.

Then he quietly hid in an alley near the gambling house.

Night falls!

There were fewer and fewer people on the streets, and families closed their doors.

The cool breeze blows, rolls up pieces of fallen leaves, flies into the distance, and disappears into the night, as if swallowed by an invisible mouth.

In the brightly lit gambling house, a sloppy figure walked out of it, scolding and swearing.

"What luck today! Before you come next time, be sure to find a diviner to calculate first! Bah! ”

Sun Daocheng spat out the thick yellow phlegm, looked at the sky, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

He didn't want to run into those weird things.

It's okay inside the market, but outside the market, hehe, you can only ask for more blessings.

Walking out of the area covered by the lights of the gambling house, Sun Daocheng pinched a trick in his hand, boom! A walnut-sized ball of light appeared on his fingertips, illuminating the path under his feet.

This is a first-order spell, the Light Ball Technique!

Click!

As he walked, Sun Daocheng suddenly frowned and looked back sharply.

It was pitch black and empty behind him.

"Strange! Isn't it time yet? ”

Sun Daocheng shook his head and continued to move forward, but his pace sped up a few points.

Not long after leaving Fang City, a bright orange light suddenly appeared behind him.

Sun Daocheng was shocked.

He didn't look back stupidly, but ran forward with a sharp acceleration.

Five green pills that emitted a pungent aura appeared in his hand and threw them behind him.

When the pill flew halfway, it suddenly exploded, turning into a long mass of green corrosive gas.

But he reacts quickly, and the other party reacts faster.

Call!

A figure, like a ghost, dodged the poison pill in an instant, caught up with him, and overtook him.

"So fast!"

Sun Daocheng thought violently in his heart.

At this moment, a fist-sized, dark red fireball flew out of the opponent's hand and shot towards him.

Dangerous!

The moment he saw the fireball, a huge sense of fear surged up in his heart.

The distance was too close, and it was too late to dodge, so Sun Dao was able to stimulate the life-saving talisman.

A cyan film of light instantly covered his body.

He dodged and fled to his left.

The next moment!

The dark red fireball suddenly cracked like explosives.

Bang!

The red flames, forming a circular shockwave, spread violently towards the surroundings.

Syllable!

The talisman on Sun Daocheng's body was as fragile as an air bubble.

Teared to shreds in an instant!

As far as the eye could see, everything was covered in firelight

Sun Daocheng didn't even have time to feel the pain, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

"Who is going to kill me?"

Leaving this only thought, Sun Daocheng's body was directly blown away by the impact of the flames.

Poof!

When he landed, his flesh and blood were blurred, and his head was only half small.

At the point where the fireball exploded, a half-meter-deep crater appeared on the ground, and the walls on both sides were all cracked.

After a few breaths, the figure who dropped the fireball returned again, ripped the storage bag around Sun Daocheng's waist, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

The sound of a violent explosion spread through half of the shantytown, but no one came out of the room to check.

The shanty town, which had been still moving, suddenly became dead silent with the explosion.
