"We, the Chi family, are new here and will undoubtedly embarrass you all. Well, in the name of the head of the Chi family, I will waive your rent for the next month! Consider it a meeting gift!"
"The head of the Chi family is righteous!"
"Yes! Yes! The Chi family is not having a good time themselves, and they have waived our rent. They are really good people!"
A group of low-level monks, grateful and grateful, quickly dispersed.
As for the three late Qi practitioners who died, they were simply ignored by everyone, and their bodies were just discarded on the ground.
The reality is always so cruel and dramatic.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Jia An and others back.
Originally, he was worried about something unexpected happening, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would end in such an anticlimactic manner.
But the head of the Chi family was really terrifying, killing three monks of the same level with one move!
Xu Mu knew something about the gray-robed old cultivator among them.
He once lived in an alley with the other party. He only knew that the other party was a top master who had completed his Qi training and was ready to attack the foundation building.
I didn't expect to be killed so easily!
"Could this be the power of the Foundation Establishment Family, completely crushing ordinary casual cultivators!"
Xu Mu was still a little arrogant after his strength improved, but now he suddenly stopped being contemptuous.
There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, let alone big families with abundant resources.
His little foundation is far behind others.
It’s better to keep a low profile!
Compared with Xu Mu, Jia An, Ma Rui and others were very excited. This time, they not only participated in a big event, but also got a month's rent waived.
Five low-grade spiritual stones are not a lot for them.
As for the dead?
It has nothing to do with them!
"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you want to go to Fangshi for a drink together?"
Jia An seemed to feel the taste of power. Before the crowd had completely dispersed, he invited a few people to Fangshi for a drink to deepen their relationship.
If we can unite everyone into a force and form a network of people, we may not be able to achieve something in the future.
Everyone else seemed to realize this and nodded in agreement.
Only Xu Mu shook his head and refused: "No! My wife is still waiting at home!"
What's there to do with a few low-level monks?
He was different from a few others in that he was still thinking about building a foundation and didn't want to waste time on such trivial personnel matters.
"Okay then! Let's drink again when we have the chance!"
Jia An thought Xu Mu was frightened, so he didn't push too hard, and walked towards Fangshi with a few people, talking and laughing.
Xu Mu noticed that not only their alley, but also many monks who had dispersed gathered together intentionally or unintentionally, forming small groups.
Obviously everyone realizes the power of the group.
Originally they were just a group of casual cultivators who were bullied by others, but now they have united as one and can actually force the Chi family to make concessions.
Although it ended in failure, it planted seeds in everyone's hearts.
This sudden powerful feeling made them instinctively want to catch it, especially the monks like Jia An who played a matchmaking role.
It's just unclear whether this seed of power will fade away over time or continue to grow.
On the way back, Xu Mu always felt like someone was watching him. He turned around and saw the Li brothers, staring at him and smiling evilly.
These two perverts are really haunting!
There are so many people in the alley, why are they targeting me?
Xu Mu was really speechless.
He was not worried about the two of them attacking him. What he was worried about was that the other party would attack his wife while he was away.
"We must find a way to solve it!"
There is only a thousand days to catch a thief, but there is no thousand days to prevent a thief.
The Li brothers had been watching Xu Mu entering the house, and then they looked away.
…
On the table in the main room, there was a pot of stewed monster meat, and a plate of green fried wild vegetables beside it.
The wild vegetables were bought from Jia An's wife, Li Moqing. When the couple went into the mountains to collect resources, they would pick some wild vegetables.
Xu Mu filled two large bowls of spiritual rice and placed them in front of himself and Ye Yingying.
Next to the table was a wooden cradle, and Xiao Ling'er was lying in it, covered with a blanket, sleeping soundly.
"Ms. sir, eat more!"
Ye Yingying put the meat into Xu Mu's bowl with a sweet smile on her face.
"Okay! You should also eat more. It must be hard to take care of your daughter every day! She has lost weight recently!"
"there is!"
The two kissed each other at the dinner table and showed off their affection. If Xiao Ling'er happened to wake up, they would definitely deepen their relationship.
"When the city becomes stable in a while, I will take you shopping. It will definitely be boring to be at home every day!"
Xu Mu held the mother and daughter in his arms lovingly.
When she lived in Fangshi, it was okay. She could go to nearby neighbors and break in. Since arriving in the shanty town, Xu Mu has strictly ordered her to go out for safety reasons.
However, there are not many women in the shanty towns. Even if you want to escape, there is no one to escape.
What's more, there are those two weirdos, the Li brothers!
"It doesn't matter! As long as my husband-in-law is with me, I'll be happy!"
Ye Yingying was very sensible, tilted her head in his arms and said sweetly.
"Yinger!"
Xu Mu hugged Ye Yingying closer.
How can anyone not love such an obedient and sensible wife?
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
Xiao Linger immediately protested.
You two are showing off your affection, can you please stop putting me in the middle?
I'm almost squeezed to death by you!
…
After clearing away the dishes, Ye Yingying took Xiao Ling'er back to the bedroom to rest, while Xu Mu went into the utility room, preparing to increase the level of fire control to extraordinary.
Because he didn't know what would happen, in order to avoid accidents, Xu Mu also borrowed his wife's formation and temporarily arranged it around.
Turn on the system!
add a bit!
[Fire Control +10]!
[Fire Control +10]!
[Fire Control +10]!
…
[Grand Master of Firebending; 3199/3200]
Looking at the system interface, Xu Mu took a deep breath and added the last point.
boom!
A huge realization emerged in my mind, which was very mysterious.
Xu Mu didn't feel as dizzy as he did after previous breakthroughs. Instead, he felt comfortable all over, especially his spirit, which was as high as heaven.
It was as if the spirit had broken away from some kind of shackles, suddenly transcending his body.
Xu Mu saw himself sitting cross-legged in a trance.
Before he could be shocked, his consciousness was pulled into the mysterious space, which was filled with flames, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a sea of fire.
Before he could be shocked, his consciousness was burned to ashes, and in the ashes, a flame rune was born.
Everything is just like watching flowers on horseback!
Xu Mu opened his eyes suddenly and took a deep breath, as if he had a terrifying dream.
What he didn't know was that between his eyebrows, a flame rune flashed away.
He was opening the system to check, and the firebending skill on it had changed to [Extraordinary firebending skill; 0/0]. It was obvious that it could no longer be improved.
Don't know how powerful it is?
This is the first extraordinary spell he has mastered, so naturally he doesn't want it to be useless.
Xu Mu closed his eyes and regained his energy.
"Um?"
Xu Mu suddenly had a very strange feeling. He seemed to be able to sense things behind him.
"Divinity?"
After the shock, Xu Mu was greatly surprised. He did not expect that the breakthrough in fire control would also bring about an improvement in mental power.
But calm down quickly.
Although this feeling is wonderful, it should not be a spiritual thought that only exists in the foundation building stage.
Because as far as he knows, the minimum range of spiritual thoughts is hundreds of meters, and the induction is extremely clear, almost like the human eye.
His perception is only a few tens of meters away and is very simulated. He can only feel some red objects, a bit like infrared rays in his previous life.
"This seems to be not only the perception brought about by spiritual improvement, but also the flame perception brought about by my excessive affinity for flames!"
To put it simply, it uses the perception of flames to reflect the surrounding scene in the spirit in disguise.
Although the fire element in the air cannot be discerned with the naked eye, Xu Mu knows that the air is filled with fire elements, otherwise the monks would not be able to cast fire spells at all.
Although it cannot be compared with the divine will in the foundation building stage, this wonderful flame perception is still a very powerful method.
From now on, he no longer has to worry about being attacked from behind.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Mu finally remembered the power of experimenting with fire control.
But it was just flame perception. For him, this improvement was already a huge gain.
Therefore, although I am looking forward to the power of extraordinary fire-bending skills, I no longer have the feeling of worrying about gains and losses.
Even if it wasn't as powerful as he expected, it wouldn't be a big deal.
He squeezed a magic formula with both hands and silently recited "condensation"!
A ball of flame appeared out of thin air, twisting and changing rapidly, turning into a dark red sword.
Xu Mu directed the sword to fly around the room, just like a real flying sword.
"This doesn't seem to be my limit!"
Xu Mu thought of the sword technique performed by the head of the Chi family yesterday. His heart moved and he quickly squeezed the technique with both hands.
Puff puff!
Groups of flames appeared in the air and quickly condensed into a dark red sword.
A total of twelve fists were condensed, and Xu Mu had to stop with sweat on his forehead.
"This is already my limit!"
He controlled the flaming flying swords to fly around him, but found it very difficult, so he removed three of them.
The nine fire swords are extremely flexible in the air, like nine swimming fish.
In a sudden burst, it was as fast as the wind!
"Nine is just right for me, but twelve can't bring out its full power!"
"But, it can still be like this!"
Xu Mu dispersed the nine fire swords, made another seal, and regrouped them, this time replacing them with an inch-long flying knife.
Due to the smaller size, the number of his condenses increased significantly, reaching thirty-two.
However, he could feel that the power of this flying knife was much worse than that of the fire sword.
"By the way! Since I can spread it out and make it smaller, can I..."
Thirty-two flying knives quickly merged into one, turning into a giant sword that was as tall as a person and more than an inch wide. The power contained in it made Xu Mu feel a little scared and quickly dispersed.
As long as it explodes in the room, their whole family will go to heaven.
However, the greatest power of firebending is the compression of fireballs, but——
Xu Mu didn't dare to try it in the room, as it could easily get out of control.
"I don't know what I am talking about with the head of the Chi family... Damn! What are you thinking about? The other party's attack power at that time may have reached the foundation building stage, or even exceeded the ordinary foundation building!"
Thinking about it at this time, Xu Mu was still a little frightened. The sword energy alone was frightening.
"I just don't know if he has practiced the sword art to a high level, or if he used some trick?"
Although the other party was from a foundation-building family, Xu Mu still thought after thinking about it that the other party was a bit too strong.
"Forget it! I'm just a low-level casual cultivator, what do I want to do? There are so many rare treasures, magical skills and secrets in the world. It's not surprising that the power of foundation building can be exploded during the Qi training period! For example, I, You should have late-stage strength, right?"
Xu Mu suddenly felt a bit itchy.
Although he feels that his self-esteem has improved greatly, he always feels that he has no bottom unless he gives it a try.
The last time he dealt with Sun Daocheng, he used a sneak attack, and he used the most powerful move. He was dealing with another monk of the same level. It can be said that his strength was not used at all, and it had no effect in testing his strength. .
"Go to Baihe Forest and try it!"
After all, it is difficult to achieve success behind closed doors, and he should also add some combat experience to himself.
Now the luck value is basically exhausted, and the improvement in strength will drop significantly in the future.
If you want to increase your strength, you can only work on other aspects.
Among them, combat experience is undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient way to improve.
He has long wanted to visit Baihe Forest. It would be best if he could hunt down a monster.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it. Xu Mu confessed to his wife and walked out of the house with his sword.
And not long after he went out, the Li brothers also walked out, falling far behind him.
