After half a month, the practitioners living in the shanty towns had paid everything they could.

Those who have not paid it have either moved away or are dead.

On this day, news came from outside that the patrol team had captured Xie Chong, and many people had been lost for this reason.

Xu Mu had to sigh, the timing was really just right.

…

"Hello, Mr. Jia!"

“Jia Dao is friendly!”

"you are welcome!"

On the street, when facing Jia An, who was patrolling with a few boys, passers-by would bow to him and say hello from time to time.

Jia An smiled and nodded slightly in response.

At this time, he could be said to be very proud and at the peak of his life. He looked completely different from the person who was despised by everyone half a month ago.

"Brother Jia, Xu Mu's family is here!"

Ma Rui, who was leading the way, said with a flattering smile.

At this time, he has completely become Jia An's lackey, although his cultivation is not lower than Jia An.

"Knock on the door! Call him out!"

Jia An put his hands behind his back and held out his belly, the old god was saying.

"yes!"

Ma Rui nodded, stepped forward, banged the door hard several times, and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Xu, we have something to ask you for, please come out!"

Xu Mu opened the door, looked at the people in front of him, and frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, I don't know what you are doing?"

"hey-hey!"

Jia An changed his complacency just now, bowed his waist slightly, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I would like to trouble you to hand over ten more low-grade spiritual stones!"

"..."

Xu Mu's face turned ugly, and he laughed angrily and said, "Fellow Daoist Jia, do you think Xu is easy to bully?"

Ten spiritual stones are nothing to him now, but with the other party's attitude, if he hands it over, he may come back in a few days.

This is to cut him like a leek!

"Fellow Daoist Xu misunderstood Jia!"

Jia An's fat face was full of grievances and said: "It's not me doing it for Brother Xu, but the order from above! You also know that when we arrested Xie Chong, many people were injured, so we must pay some pensions, right?"

?”

"But the patrol team has just been established and there are not so many spiritual stones, so we can only trouble our relatively wealthy friends like Daoyou Xu!"

"If you don't believe it, Fellow Daoist Xu, you can follow me back to the patrol team later and let the commander explain it to you face to face!" Jia An said with a smile, cupping his hands.

"..."

Xu Mu's eyes flickered, he was silent for a moment, and then he took out ten spiritual stones and handed them to the other party.

With his strength, it would be easy to kill a few people, but killing them would be like poking a hornet's nest, attracting more sieges.

"I hope there won't be another time!" Xu Mu said coldly.

"sure!"

Jia An took the spirit stone and put it in his pocket, smiling and nodding.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xu, why don't you pay Fellow Daoist Lan's as well! After all, you will all be a family sooner or later!"

There was a lewd smile on Jia An's face.

"Fellow Daoist Lan has moved away. If you want the spirit stone, you can go to Fangshi to ask for it from her!" Xu Mu said coldly.

A few days ago, Lan Shijin had already booked a boat ticket to leave through her connections. In addition, there had been evil spirits in the shanty town during this period, so she and her daughter simply moved to an inn in Fangshi to live temporarily.

Wait for the flying boat to arrive and leave immediately.

"That's really... really lucky! Hahahaha!" Jia An said with a smile.

Xu Mu ignored the other party, turned around and entered the house, closing the door.

Jia An, who was originally smiling, immediately put away his smile and became full of disdain after seeing Xu Mu enter.

"Don't let it happen again? Hehe! It's quite a beautiful idea, just wait and see, this is just an appetizer!"

I finally caught a fat sheep, and if I didn't eat it, all the bones would be left. How could I be worthy of the humiliation I had spent during this period, and the many benefits I had given away?

…

In the room, a red gold sword appeared out of thin air in Xu Mu's hand. He slowly pulled out the long sword. With the injection of spiritual power, red veins emerged from the originally snow-white sword body, and the burning breath spread to the surroundings.

"I don't like taking risks, I just like to nip danger in the bud!"

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Xu Mu murmured to himself.

Ten spiritual stones were nothing to him, but it was a very bad sign.

For the safety of my wife and daughter, this kind of situation must not exist.

At night, after Xu Mu warned Ye Yingying, he used invisibility and left home.

Under the night, Xu Mu's body moved like a ghost. When he encountered a patrol, he used his invisibility technique to hide and waited for the patrol to pass before continuing on his way.

The place he was going to was where the patrol team was stationed.

Gulu gulu!

In the center of the room is a large iron pot with boiling soup and pieces of meat steak.

The room was filled with the aroma of meat, mixed with the strong aroma of wine.

"Come on, let's give Boss Jia a drink! If it weren't for Boss Jia, how could we live such a fairy life! We can eat monster meat and drink spiritual wine as we please! Haha!"

Ma Rui held up the cup, his face turned red. He didn't know whether it was because of the hot food or the wine, and even his tongue was a little slippery.

"That's right, here's a toast to Brother Jia!"

Several other people raised their glasses and toasted to Jia An.

"Brothers, you are welcome! As I said before, as long as I, Jia An, have a bite to eat, you brothers will never go hungry!"

Jia Anhao was angry and said.

After a round of drinking, he felt a little dizzy.

"Okay, okay, don't drink too much! We have to go out to change shifts later!" Jia An reminded.

"What does it matter? With the relationship between Boss Jia and Commander Luo, even if we don't go, who dares to say anything? Besides, haven't those poor ghosts already paid the price? There's no need for us to show off anymore!"

"That's right! In the past, they still had to act, but now they are all honest, so it doesn't matter if they skip two tours!"

"You guys, you think things are too simple!" Jia An took a sip of wine and said pretending to be profound.

"Boss Jia, is there anything else we don't know about here?"

Several people put down their wine glasses, raised their ears, and asked curiously.

"Nonsense! There are some things that you can know especially!" Jia An said arrogantly.

"Please also ask Boss Jia to give us some guidance! We promise not to tell anyone!"

Ma Rui licked his long face and poured a glass of spiritual wine for Jia An with a smile.

"Yes, yes! We promise not to tell anyone!"

Facing the compliments from several people, Jia An was very impressed and lowered his voice and said: "Do you think our Commander Luo spends so much effort just to collect a few low-grade spiritual stones?"

"Then why? A thousand dollars a month is a lot!"

Several people were puzzled.

"Thousands of dollars is a lot to us, but to Commander Luo, it's not even a cent! What he really wants to do is to conquer the entire shanty town and turn it into free labor!"

"Free labor?"

A few people still don't quite understand.

"I know you don't understand, so I'll give you an example! Do you know that Xu Mu from our alley?"

Several people nodded repeatedly. They lived in the same alley, so they naturally knew about it, and they had just collected the spirit stones today.

"Recently, the Sword Sect is gathering all its forces to counterattack the Soul Refining Sect. We have also received orders here. I have already told the commander that I will go to the old boy Xu Mu's house in a few days. When the time comes, in the name of the Sword Sect,

Let him refine the elixir for us for free!" Jia An said proudly.

Through Ma Rui's tracking, he already knew that Xu Mu could refine high-level elixirs.

"What if he doesn't agree?" several people asked worriedly.
