"We got it!"
The couple nodded hurriedly, feeling nervous in their hearts. They were just girls, so they were naturally worried about something happening.
When Su Mu saw them getting nervous, a smile appeared on his face. Being too relaxed would be bad. This kind of mentality is correct.
"Okay... let's eat well first."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper's family stopped mentioning the matter, but they were no longer in the mood to eat. Looking at their daughter, worries arose in their hearts.
Their daughter has never suffered much, and she doesn't know if she can hold on. Judging from Su Mu's words, the road to immortality is not that easy to embark on.
Compared to the worries of the couple, Su Mu and Xiao Zhuang Ning were quite happy eating, and they devoured all these delicacies in a hurry.
Most of them were solved by Su Mu. After all, the little girl is still young and can't eat much.
After dinner, Su Mu went out for a walk.
Wu City is a big city. The lights at night are like daytime, and the snow is falling, covering the whole city, adding an indescribable beauty.
The streets are paved with stones, and the buildings are antique. Some have green tiles and white walls, while others have carved beams and painted buildings, each with its own flavor.
After walking around the streets, Su Mu actually had a good time chatting with some elders and aunties, which was also a kind of fun.
late at night.
There were fewer people on the street, mostly drunken men and frustrated people who had just come out of gambling houses.
Tramps and beggars in shabby clothes occupy the corners of the streets. They struggle to survive. They don't know why they live, but they can live one day at a time, without goals, just to survive.
Although there are not many people like this, in this era, they are destined to exist and will always exist.
Su Mu sighed softly, but he couldn't change anything.
The backyard of the shop.
The couple waited for Su Mu while holding the sleepy little girl in their arms, looking eagerly at the door.
After a long time.
Su Mu stepped into it slowly and came back with a pinch of salt.
The couple looked at each other and realized that the wait was finally over!
"Brother, can we start?"
The shopkeeper's body was trembling a little. He was already extremely nervous. If he had been more nervous, he might have started retching.
"Don't be so nervous..."
Su Mu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this.
It seems that I have applied a little too much pressure.
But it is normal. After all, the person to be baptized is their only daughter, the one they hold dear to their hearts.
It was Su Mu who made a mistake. Even if he didn't provoke them, they would still be nervous. It was too late to go too far now.
There are pros and cons.
"Haha, we're not nervous."
The couple hurriedly said.
But the faintly trembling body exposed them.
This is perfectly normal.
"follow me."
Su Mu didn't say anything more and led the two of them to his house.
A large cauldron was still burning, the golden treasure liquid inside was boiling, and the mist was thick and thick.
The couple took a deep breath, and their bodies seemed a little younger, very light and comfortable, and they felt like they were in a fairyland!
"Brother, what should we do?"
The couple asked, their eyes shining with joy.
Just by smelling the mist, they felt that they were about to ascend to immortality. What would happen if they put it into the cauldron to absorb the immortal liquid?
Their daughter was lucky enough to have such an opportunity. It was definitely a chance to change her destiny!
Thinking of this, they looked at Su Mu with indescribable gratitude.
It is almost difficult for ordinary people to become an immortal cultivator. If their talent is too low, they are not qualified to be accepted as a disciple by the immortal sect, and... not everyone has the opportunity to take the talent test, most of them will To be buried is to step into the path of martial arts at most. Being able to have a ninth-level mortal body is the limit.
Talents like this can become officials as big as sesame seeds if they go to work in the county government.
"Throw the little girl into the cauldron!"
Su Mu said decisively.
"ah?"
The couple were stunned when they heard this.
Throw it into the pot?
How can this work!
The fire is still burning. If you throw your daughter into it, wouldn't that mean your life is in vain and she will be boiled to death?
As a parent, how can you see your daughter at risk like this?
"No! No!"
The little girl's mother said solemnly, she said that she could not do this. According to ordinary people's common sense, this is unimaginable.
If a living person is thrown into boiling water, wouldn't he lose his life in an instant?
The shopkeeper also had a serious face and looked at Su Mu as if he wanted to ask for an explanation.
"Don't worry. Although this treasure liquid is boiling, the temperature is not high. At most, it will be a little hot for little Zhuang Ning."
Su Mu explained helplessly.
It is understandable that they are acting this way. If he had a daughter, he would naturally not want her to take risks.
The shopkeeper and his wife were still a little skeptical, but they still stepped forward to verify it.
As Su Mu said, the temperature of the treasure liquid is not high. Even if it boils, it is just a hot spring with a slightly higher temperature.
Then they felt relieved and threw their daughter into the cauldron.
The little girl woke up immediately, her eyes widened, completely confused and bewildered.
Her parents actually threw her into boiling water? !
"So hot! So hot!"
The little girl immediately burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.
From time to time, I drank a few sips of treasure liquid, which made me choke.
The couple felt distressed, but they didn't say anything and just looked at Su Mu.
"The baptism will last all night. You guys should keep a close eye here. With your presence, little Zhuang Ning will feel more at ease."
Su Mu said, then his eyes fell on the little girl, "Zhuang Ning, hold your breath and concentrate, use the qi-entraining method I taught you, absorb the divine substance in the treasure liquid, and temper your body!"
He had told the little girl several times and demonstrated how to do it.
After hearing Su Mu's words and looking at her parents nearby, the little girl felt a little calmer and silently recited the Qi-Entraining Technique step by step.
The divine substance of Baoye poured into Xiao Zhuang Ning's body, and impurities were squeezed out, and along with the blood stains, they dispersed from the pores.
Su Mu was very satisfied when he saw this. The little girl was still very smart, so there should be no problem. When daytime comes, the girl will be able to successfully temper and forge the Tao foundation.
Let the couple watch carefully, and Su Mu went to the courtyard to study the Taoism.
Black Dragon and Dao Yi were nearby to protect him.
Although it was only a superficial understanding, my vigilance was at its lowest at this time. If someone suddenly attacked me, I might not be able to react in time.
Late at night is still like day.
The golden light in the house overflowed, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Zhuang Ning ignored it and used the Qi Entraining Technique with all her strength. She didn't know how to create the Dao Foundation. She only knew that she had to do what Su Mu said. She still understood this.
