Ch104 - Ji Furong Arrives

Edited by Zaki and Hanamichi

Three years later, (secret realm time, nine years and eleven months)

During these three years, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu took turns entering the bracelet dimension to seclusion. Each had been in seclusion for fifteen years. With the help of many spiritual treasures and a lot of time, Jiang Xu’s strength had stabilized at the nine stars of the Spiritual Master Realm. Liu Mufeng’s strength had also completely stabilized at the seven stars of the Spiritual Master Realm.

Xiaoyuan’s strength had already reached the nine-star in the Spiritual Master Realm. Her sixteen husbands had also advanced to the Spiritual Master Realm one after one under the cultivation of Liu Mufeng’s large amount of medicinal pills and spiritual plants. The other spirit insects under Xiaoyuan had also improved in strength. Xiaoyuan’s team had recently grown five times in size, and the overall level was also three times higher than before entering the secret realm.

On this day, two old friends were welcomed in the Pill Shop.

“Two fellow Daoists Ji, How are you doing? It has been many years since we met each other.” Seeing that Ji Furong and Ji Haitang led eight people into the Pill Shop, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu greeted the two with a smile.

“Yeah, I haven’t seen you for many years, and I heard that both Fellow Daoists have been promoted to the Spiritual Master Realm. So I really want to congratulate you two.” Ji Haitang said graciously with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Ji is too polite.” Liu Mufeng responded humbly with a smile.

“Young Master Liu, I’m here to wash my spiritual roots this time.” Ji Furong said firmly, word by word.

“Okay, Fellow Daoist Ji, let’s talk in the cave next door.” With a smiling face, Liu Mufeng took Ji Furong and left.

“I really didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Liu is also a third level alchemist and not only helps others wash their spiritual roots. What a genius!” Ji Haitang said with a smile, looking at the dazzling array of second and third-level medicinal pills in the Pill shop.

“Fellow Daoist Ji is overpraising. The exchange price of our medicinal pills here is very fair. Fellow Daoist Ji and several fellow Daoists, feel free to look around.” Smiling, Jiang Xu immediately solicited business.

“Okay.” Nodding, Ji Haitang took the group of people to look at the various medicinal pills on display.

Looking at Jiang Xu sitting on the side, Zhang Ping and Sun Shang felt embarrassed. Previously they thought that Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu refused to help the Eighth Sister wash her spiritual roots because they looked down on their Array City. Therefore, they felt very hostile towards Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. However, nine years had passed. In their eyes, the two foolish kids who had never seen the world were arrogant and unbeatable. However, they had now become cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm and became their “seniors”. Meeting these two again, they could only feel ashamed of themselves. Long gone was the arrogant aura.

On the other side, Liu Mufeng and Ji Furong were discussing the matter of washing spiritual roots.

“En, indeed, the price has increased, but since I promised Daoist Ji in the first place, then I won’t increase the price for you. As long as you can get 80 million worth of spiritual treasures, I will help you wash both spiritual roots.” Liu Mufeng said, looking at Ji Furong. After all, he had promised to wash Ji Furong’s spiritual roots as soon as she found spiritual treasures worth 80 million. So it was not very good to suddenly raise the price for the other party.

“Your father is a level-four Array Master. I think Daoist Ji is also an Array Master, right?” Looking at Ji Furong, Liu Mufeng inquired tentatively.

“Yes, I am a level-three Array Master.”

“Oh? A third-level Array Master?” Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised. He had thought that, at most, Ji Furong would only be a second-level Array Master. But instead, she was unexpectedly already a third-level Master.

“Young Master Liu’s problem is related to arrays?” Ji Furong asked again.

“Yes, I got a blueprint by chance. However, I don’t know what is drawn on it. So I want to ask fellow Daoist Ji to help me answer it.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took out the drawing of the array formation found in the ruins of the Flame Palace and handed it over to Ji Furong.

After receiving it, Ji Furong looked at it carefully, and after reading it, she was shocked. “This, this is a level five teleportation Array pattern! Fellow Daoist Liu, you, where did you get it?”

“Oh, I found it in a cave in the secret realm by accident.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“In a cave? Then, were there any other Array diagrams or Array inheritance? If you have one, you can sell it to me. My sister still has spiritual treasures on her.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Ji Furong spoke anxiously.

“No, there was only this pattern. I also thought there would be an Array inheritance, but I scoured the cave and couldn’t find it.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng responded negatively.

“Oh, is that so!” Ji Furong was very sorry to hear this. Her fingers gently rubbed the pattern on the beast’s skin, and she couldn’t bear to put it down.

“Fellow Daoist Ji, you said this is a level five teleportation array, right?” Liu Mufeng asked tentatively.

“Yes, this formation is a level five teleportation array. In fact, it is a long-distance teleportation array. It can teleport you out far, far away.”

“Then, how to use this thing called a teleportation array, does Fellow Daoist Ji know?” Staring at the other party, Liu Mufeng asked again.

“Oh, this, it’s very simple. As long as the spirit stones are installed in the grooves here, here and here, the teleportation array can be activated. However, this teleportation array is level five. So I’m afraid it won’t be activated without at least 300 to 500 million spirit stones.” After thinking about it, Ji Furong explained it in detail.

“500 million? This is not a small amount.” He didn’t have 500 million spirit stones, but he did have a lot of mid-grade spirit stones. When he andXiaoXu went into seclusion in the past three years, they used low-grade spirit stones. And the ones thrown into the lake were all low-grade spirit stones. They were not willing to use a single mid-grade spirit stone.

“Yes, the higher the level of the teleportation array, the farther the distance it can teleport. However, the higher the level of the teleportation array, the harder it is to activate it. This is because the number of spirit stones required is much higher than the ordinary teleportation arrays.”

“It seems that Daoist Ji is very knowledgeable about teleportation arrays. I’ve heard people say that teleportation arrays are a paired set. So if one teleportation array is destroyed, the other one can’t be used. Is that so?” Staring at Ji Furong, Liu Mufeng asked again.

“Yes, that’s right. If one of the two teleportation arrays is destroyed, then the other one can no longer be used.” Nodding, Ji Furong answered very affirmatively.

“I’ve heard that every array has an eye, and the eye is the weakest point of the Arrat, is that right?” Smiling, Liu Mufeng asked again.

“En, that is correct. When we Array Masters break an Array, we all look for the Array eye first, and then, we can break the Array without any problems.”

“Then, does this teleportation array have eyes?” Staring at Ji Furong, Liu Mufeng asked curiously.

“Yes, every kind of formation has an eye. Look here, here, here and here. These four parts are the array eyes of this teleportation array. If all four eyes are destroyed, this teleportation array will be ruined and can’t be used.”

“Oh, that’s very interesting.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng expressed his understanding. “It was a pleasure chatting with Fellow Daoist Ji, and it gave me a lot of details. I learned a lot of knowledge about arrays.”

“Young Master Liu is overpraising. Young Master Liu is a third-level alchemist. I didn’t expect you to be so interested in array patterns.” Speaking of this, Ji Furong was a little surprised. She thought that Liu Mufeng would be more interested in alchemy.

“Yeah, Daoist Ji has also waited for ten years. So let’s not talk nonsense. Let’s talk about the matter of washing the spiritual roots.”

“Young Master Liu, can this array diagram be sold to me?” Looking at the diagram in her hand, Ji Furong didn’t want to part with it.

“Since Fellow Daoist Ji likes it, I will give it to Fellow Daoist Ji. It’s useless for me as an alchemist to have an array diagram. I was just curious, so I asked about this pattern.”

“Oh, then thank you Young Master Liu.” Somewhat excitedly putting away the array diagram, Ji Furong took out the opportunity she had found.

Looking at the brocade box handed to him, Liu Mufeng reached out to take it and slowly opened it. He found that the box contained ten egg-sized green beads. “This, this is the Wood Spirit Orb?” It was another opportunity that the heroine had previously obtained!

“Yes, I know that Young Master Liu is a single wood spiritual root. So I especially found these ten Wood Spirit Orbs as my payment for washing the spiritual roots. I hope Young Master Liu likes them.” Ji Furong said with a smile.

At these words, Liu Mufeng nodded. “I like it. I like Daoist Ji’s reward very much. It’s a deal!”

“Many thanks, Young Master Liu.” Receiving Liu Mufeng’s promise, Ji Furong’s heart was unusually excited. Ten years. She had searched hard for ten years, and eventually, she found these 10 Wood Spirit Orbs. Finally, she could see the dawn washing her spiritual roots. She could soon become a single spiritual root, just like Xue Hao. But, no, she was much better than Xue Hao. She had found this 80 million worth of spiritual treasure on her own, not relying on her father’s spirit stones but on herself to wash her spiritual roots. Thinking about this, Ji Furong was incredibly proud.

Ji Furong and her group stayed in Liu Mufeng’s Pill shop for five days. After five days, when Ji Furong had healed, the group left the Pill shop.

“XiaoXu, there are still twenty-five days before we leave the secret realm. I want to go into seclusion and refine these 10 Wood Spirit Orbs. After I go into seclusion, you can close the Pill shop and leave this place. Then, find a place where no one is around, suppress your strength to the Spiritual Mortal Realm, and don’t let anyone find out that you are Jiang Xu.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng warned worriedly.

“En, I know Mufeng.” Nodding his head, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“I will come out of seclusion before we leave the secret realm. At that time, we will leave the secret realm together. After we leave, we will directly use the teleportation talisman to go to the old site of the Flame Palace.”

“Why are we going there?” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu looked confused.

“I’ve asked Ji Furong, and I know how to use that teleportation array. We will teleport away. That way, the Sect Master of the Immortal Demon Sect and City Lord Meng won’t be able to find us.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng told him his idea.

“Oh, I understand now.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

Lowering his head and gently kissing his lover’s forehead, Liu Mufeng put the bracelet on his lover’s hand, “Be careful.”

“En, I’ll be careful. Don’t worry.” Nodding, Jiang Xu reached out and touched his lover’s face.

With a smile, Liu Mufeng entered the bracelet dimension. He still had 250 days, and this should be enough for him to refine 10 Wood Spirit Orbs.
