Chapter 161: Stand-in gourd

"Seven gourd babies! It's a pity that I'm not a grandfather! ”

Xu Mu walked to the gourd vine, stretched out his fingers, and squeezed out drops of red blood from his fingers, which kept falling on the roots of the gourd vine.

Knock knock!

The gourd vine seemed to come to life, constantly wriggling to absorb Xu Mu's blood, and then transported it to the seven gourds.

The seven gourds also began to emit a little light from the original darkness, which was extraordinary.

Xu Mu dripped hundreds of drops of blood in one mouthful, until one of them, the largest and closest to the root, suddenly fell from the vine.

Xu Mu, who had been prepared, stretched out his hand to catch it, looked up and down, and showed a hint of joy in his eyes.

"I hope you don't let me down!"

Xu Mu returned to the practice room with the red gourd.

He first took the pill, closed his eyes and breathed, and recovered the lost vitality, and then opened his eyes and looked at the red-skinned gourd in his hand.

The whole gourd is more than half a person high, red as red sand, small at the top and big at the bottom, and the image is the same as that of an ordinary gourd.

Xu Mu stroked it up and down, and the material was as cold as jade.

Xu Mu didn't immediately open it, but first took out a three-foot-long white ice jade coffin, and then popped out with a finger.

Boom!

Click!

The two voices fused together, and the next moment, the entire red-skinned gourd cracked inch by inch, revealing the scene inside.

Unlike ordinary gourds, which are full of melons and seeds, there is actually a person lying in this gourd.

A five or six-year-old child!

Pink carved jade, small eyes closed.

If you look closely, you will find that this child is three points similar to Xu Mu.

"The stand-in gourd, it's really magical!"

The moment he saw the child, even Xu Mu couldn't help but marvel.

Although he had heard it when he bought it, he was not sure when he had not actually seen it.

The reason why he planted this gourd was to make a clone.

In the future, the main body stays at home, safe and secure, and the clone goes out to collect the resources and materials he wants in his place.

This is Xu Mu's plan for the future.

In order to find a suitable doppelganger, he has spent a lot of effort in the past few years, paper figures, puppets, refining corpses, living corpses, Gu worms, etc., all have various shortcomings, but fortunately, in the end, he got this gourd vine that is known as a mutation of the three major divine vines.

In order to cultivate this gourd vine, he had to put half a catty of blood every day, and ordinary cultivators couldn't resist it at all, that is, he dared to do this because of his profound background.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and the cultivation was finally successful.

However, if it can be as magical as the other party said, you have to try.

Xu Mu lifted the child up and put it into the white cold jade coffin, then closed his eyes and concentrated, his hands quickly pinched one formula after another, and his mouth was full of words.

I don't know how long it took, a golden little man jumped out of Xu Mu's head and jumped onto the child's body.

Then the little man lay down and gradually melted into the child's body.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Xu Mu and the child opened their eyes at the same time.

"It's an amazing feeling!"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and their voices and expressions were almost identical, just one big and one small.

After some attempts, it turned out that this doppelganger was not flawless.

First of all, he didn't have the slightest cultivation, which required him to cultivate little by little, and the other was the incompleteness of his divine soul, which caused his cultivation progress to be extremely slow.

"No wonder it's so cheap!"

This stand-in gourd looks magical, but in fact it is just a seventh-order spirit plant, if it is really too expensive, he can't afford it, let alone raise it.

So it is reasonable to have this shortcoming.

For other cultivators, limited by these two shortcomings, the clone became a chicken rib completely.

Because if you don't cultivate to the same level, you won't be able to help at all.

But only they know how difficult it is to raise a person from scratch to the same level as themselves.

The cost is too great, it is not as cost-effective as making puppets and refining corpses, coupled with the restrictions of divine thoughts, it is destined that the doppelganger will not achieve anything.

It's a pity to throw it away, and it's useless to keep it.

So it's chicken ribs!

However, for Xu Mu, it is not a big problem.

Who made him have a system!

No matter how bad the talent is, can it be worse than his body?

It's not the same as cultivating to Jindan, and achieving super grades, and the talent has been strengthened and improved many times, and it can definitely be ranked in the forefront of the same level.

So there is a system in place, and everything is not a problem.

When Xu Mu figured everything out, he controlled Xu Da to leave the residence and enter the Fang City.

Because he was the first doppelganger, Xu Mu directly named Xu Da in order to save trouble.

This is the first time that Xu Mu has visited his own market as a child and from the perspective of a child.

The streets are full of people, and I don't know how many times more lively than when I first came.

According to Si Tan'er, with the completion of the establishment of the defense array, the population of Fang City began to increase rapidly, and with the promulgation of various laws and regulations, the population entered a stage of skyrocketing.

Although less than a decade has passed, the population has increased to more than 30,000 people, surpassing the peak of Baihefang City.

If it weren't for Xu Mu's intention to let Si Tan'er control it in the follow-up, the population might be even more.

The reason why it is allowed to control the population is also very simple, it is to not be in the limelight.

After all, nominally this is still the territory of the Liyang Sect, and they are under the management of the Liyang Sect, and if they are too prominent, they will be easily targeted.

When the time comes, unless Xu Mu makes a move, it will cause endless trouble.

Of course, Xu Mu will not stop there, but enter a more hidden way of development.

Abbreviated as the underground forces!

This aspect is under the management of pool non-smoke.

With the support of a large number of spirit stones, the number of people had already expanded to thousands, and almost branched out to the entire Tianhe Sect's area.

Xu Mu could obtain the most detailed information on the forces of the entire Tianhe Sect in the first time.

In order for Xu Mu's strength to be enough, he can even directly seize the position of Tianhe Sect.

Of course, if you want to have that kind of strength, it may take hundreds of years.

Now the main role of this force is to sell Tsukidan.

It was with the huge wealth resold on both sides that Xu Mu was able to support everyone's cultivation and the development of his own power.

However, Baihefang City has long been self-sufficient, and there is even a large amount of surplus that can be used to improve the foundation of Fang City.

"Hey! Child! Where are you? Hurry back! ”

A team of patrolling guards couldn't help but stop him and shout when they saw Xu Mu's clone walking around on the street alone.

"Oh!"

Xu Mu answered, but looked at the clothes of several guards.

The whole set of talisman armor, although there is only a first order, but the victory is in the defense of almost no dead ends, and the hand is a second-order halberd, which can be used for close combat, and can also be used as an envoy.

Together, these two items alone cost five hundred lower-grade spirit stones.

And for cultivation, in the middle stage of Qi training, only the leading team leader is in the late stage of Qi training.

This kind of equipment and cultivation are about to catch up with the guards of Liyang City, and it is definitely unique among the many markets.

And there are 50 such patrols in the entire Fang City, patrolling non-stop for 12 hours a day to ensure the order of the entire Fang City.

From this point, it can also be seen that the wealth of Baihefang City is huge.

It is precisely with these well-equipped patrols that Baihefang City can ensure a stable environment and develop rapidly.

There are patrols not only in the inner part of the city, but also in the shantytowns on the periphery, and there are more patrols than inside, there are a hundred of them.

However, these 100 teams are in the nature of a militia, and the city will not provide resources and equipment, but will exempt them from rent and provide some management personnel.

It is precisely because of the existence of these 100 teams that the shantytowns in Baihefang City have changed greatly compared to before, and they will not be as precarious as before, and they have a good living and business environment.

Now it has become very prosperous, and in terms of liveliness, it is not much worse than the inside of the city.

In addition, there are various policies, such as ultra-low taxes, not oppressing customers and merchants, impartial enforcement of the law by managers, clear rewards and punishments, etc., which are also important factors in promoting prosperity.

All of this is naturally from Xu Mu's hands, taking the various management policies of the previous life and revising them according to local conditions.

In fact, these are not complicated, even an ordinary person can think of them.

The reason why good results will be achieved is that Xu Mu has financial resources and military force.

Under the watchful eye of the guards, Xu Mu entered a nearby alley, turned around and ran out from another place, and rushed towards Muqiao Alley, where he had lived before.

The once dilapidated houses have all been restored, and the streets are neatly paved and clean, and there is no trace of the original one.

However, Xu Mu knew that Ye Yingying and the three of them secretly rented the original house, and occasionally brought a few little guys to live for a few days.

Today, they happen to be here.

"Who are you? Why sneaky on my doorstep? ”

Four five or six-year-old little guys divided into front and back, left and right, blocking Xu Mu's way.
