“Eighteen…”

“Shopkeeper Tu, instead of going to the hook bars to listen to the songs, you decide to sing by yourself at home?”

Xu Mu strides into the shop just to see a lean and dark middle-aged man, lying on a rocking chair, squinting and nodding head and shaking brain to hum a tune.

“Ah, it’s Pill Master Xu!”

The middle-aged man opens his eyes, turns his head a bit, then slowly gets up.

“I’m sick of the old tunes in the hook bars, I’d rather hum myself! So, are you here to sell the Fasting Pill again?”

“Yes.”

Xu Mu nods, taking out five bottles of well-refined Fasting Pills.

“Can’t you stock up some more before coming to sell? Every time it’s just bits and pieces!”

Shopkeeper Tu picks up a pill for inspection while complaining.

Although his shop is small, selling a few bottles at once is really a bit annoying.

“I’d want to if I could! But my pockets are shallow! How about you lend me some first?” Xu Mu joked.

He was already in his fifties, and would not be blushing for such a little complaint.

“If you’re willing to mortgage the Pill Furnace, lending you a few dozen spirit stones is not a problem!”

“I can’t do without the Pill Furnace! That’s my livelihood!”

Xu Mu refuses outright.

He and the other party have been friends for over a decade, knowing each other’s bottom line, and often joking around.

“Hmm? Top quality!”

Tu Shopkeeper picked up a luminescent pill, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

“It appears your Alchemy Skill has finally improved! You might have hopes for the Foundation Establishment in the future!”

“Stop the nonsense!”

Xu Mu laughed and scolded.

“Exchange all the spirit stones for the materials for making Qi Gathering Pills!”

“Oh?”

Shopkeeper Tu looks up at Xu Mu with a bit of surprise.

“Why, haven’t you given up? Isn’t it good to make Fasting Pills honestly? You can now refine top-quality Fasting Pills, as long as you stabilize the quality, your earnings will definitely be more than before!” Shopkeeper Tu kindly reminded.

Before the success rate of the pill reaches 30%, it’s basically burning money.

Given Xu Mu’s current situation, he wasn’t optimistic.

“Recently I have had some insights, I feel there is a significant improvement in my Alchemy Skill, maybe I will succeed! The profit of Fasting Pills is too low, for the sake of my wife and child, I must take the risk!”

Xu Mu revealed a hint of information in his words, as a preventive measure against the other party.

“Because you have a wife and child, you shouldn’t take risks!”

Shopkeeper Tu reminded again.

From the time he helped his father in the shop, Xu Mu was selling his pills here, although his father evaluated him as rotten wood, but with more than a decade of friendship, he didn’t want the other party to be on a dead end.

“It’s only a matter of a few spirit stones! You just sell me the materials!”

“Do what you want! Just don’t come crying to me to sell your failed pills if it doesn’t work out!”

Shopkeeper Tu collected the Fasting Pills, turned around and went into the back hall. After a while, he took out three shares of medicinal materials.

“Materials for Qi Gathering Pills, two spirit stones per share, your pills are worth only five spirit stones, I’m taking one less as a gift for your daughter!”

“Thank you!”

Xu Mu sincerely expressed his gratitude.

While the world is full of bad people, there are still a few good ones.

Xu Mu put the herbs in his storage bag and turned to leave the pharmacy, heading towards the shanty town.

After buying the herbs, he was practically broke.

If he didn’t go home, should he sit around in the marketplace getting the cold winds?

“You’re already old, don’t you know to be steady? Don’t end up letting others take advantage of the wife you spent money on!”

Looking at Xu Mu’s retreating figure, Shopkeeper Tu made a sarcastic remark, then continued to lie there humming his song.

Although his family was not rich, they were able to live without worry by keeping the shop.

Compared to Xu Mu, they were worlds apart.

…

A flying sword flashes above his head, transforming into a shooting star.

A formidable roaring magic beast roars on the roadside!

The passing people wear gorgeous robes, dazzling.

Although it’s only a small marketplace, it has everything. Whatever the Cultivation Realm has, this place has it too.

Unfortunately,

None of this has anything to do with Xu Mu for the moment.

He carefully weaves through the crowd, avoiding conflict with unknown cultivators.

After leaving the marketplace, he performs the Light Body Skill immediately, rushing home as fast as he could.

Sun Daocheng, who was guarding the alley entrance, did not notice when Xu Mu passed by.

Thud! Thud!

“Ying Er! It’s me!”

Ye Yingying peeks through the door gap, only opening the door in relief when she verifies that it’s Xu Mu, with a relieved smile on her face.

Xu Mu walks in and closes the door.

“Husband, why are you back so early today?”

Ye Yingying asks while nestled in Xu Mu’s embrace.

“Of course, because I miss you!”

Xu Mu, in a good mood, jokes with Ye Yingying.

“Hmm! I miss you too!”

Ye Yingying looks at him, her eyes warm and affectionate.

“…”

Cough! Cough!

Xu Mu doesn’t know what to say for the moment.

The two of them have some lovey-dovey time. Xu Mu didn’t dare to go further since she had just given birth, so he told Ye Yingying to go back to the bedroom to rest, while he went to the utility room to prepare to refine Qi Gathering Pills.

“Whether we can live well in the future depends on today!”

Xu Mu prays silently in his heart.

After setting up the Pill Furnace and taking out the medicinal materials, Xu Mu checks them one by one.

Zi Lan Ye Grass, Bone Washing Flower, Mo Ye Lotus, Snake Saliva Fruit, Gathering Spirit Grass…

Xu Mu checks them twice, and then finally feels relieved.

Due to financial limitations, if he messes up once, he would probably feel heartache for half a day.

He closes his eyes and concentrates, recalling the refining process over and over to ensure there would be no mistakes.

Puff!

With a flick of his finger, flames ignited.

Xu Mu focuses his attention.
