Ch123 - Advancing to the Spiritual King Realm

Edited by Zaki

Holding his lover’s hand, Liu Mufeng brought him back to the house. With a wave of his hand, a pile of pill bottles appeared on the table.

Looking at the pile of pill bottles on the table, Jiang Xu’s eyes widened in shock. “You have refined so many medicinal pills?”

“This is only a small part of it, I still have a lot of medicinal pills in my storage ring.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Why did you suddenly refine so many medicinal pills?” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu was a little puzzled.

“Because of the Blue Moon Fruit! The Blue Moon Fruit can be used as the main ingredient for nine kinds of medicinal pills, and these nine medicinal pills are all supplemental cultivation pills to enhance strength. These are all refined with the Blue Moon Fruit.” Saying that, Liu Mu Feng poured out a pill and handed it to his lover.

Holding it near, Jiang Xu smiled when he saw that the medicinal pill in his palm was a high-grade pill. “You gave me both high-grade pills and top-grade pills again.”

“XiaoXu, now we have spiritual water, spirit stones, and these medicinal pills to help your cultivation. You can go into seclusion for a while. Let’s raise your strength again.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took the medicinal pill from his lover’s hand and packed it in a pill bottle.

Hearing his lover say that, Jiang Xu thought about it. “All right, anyway, we have resources in our hands now.”

“Then, let’s go into seclusion.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng smiled and grabbed his lover’s wrist, and led him to the bedroom.

Walking into the bedroom, Jiang Xu looked at his man, amused by his antics. “Didn’t you tell me to go into seclusion? What are you doing?”

“I’ve been in seclusion and refining pills for ten months, you don’t miss me?” Holding his wife’s waist, Liu Mufeng looked at his lover expectantly.

“But it has been only a month for me.” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu responded back truthfully. As a result, he was sneak attacked, “Oh…” Covering his bitten ears, Jiang Xu helplessly looked at the other man.

Three years later……

For other cultivators, three years was just three years, but for Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, three years was thirty years, and they used the bracelet dimension to alternately enter seclusion. Jiang Xu directly raised his strength to one star of the Spiritual King Realm by relying on the resources he had at hand. Although his cultivation had not stabilized fully at the level, he had already crossed over the border and entered the Spiritual King Realm.

However, Liu Mufeng was a little worse. Although both of them were nine stars in the Spiritual Master Realm, as cannon fodder, Liu Mufeng’s cultivation aptitude was not as good as Jiang Xu’s, and his foundation was far less solid than Jiang Xu’s. Therefore, even though he had been in seclusion for fifteen years, he was still at nine-star in the Spiritual Master Realm, and only his strength has improved a lot. However, he still did not feel that he was close to crossing the barrier and reaching the Spiritual King Realm.

“Mufeng, I’m in the Spiritual King Realm now. Let’s go to those demon beast mountains, or some dangerous place to look for an opportunity. If you find a good opportunity, maybe you will be able to advance.” Seeing that his lover had not been able to advance, Jiang Xu was also very anxious for his partner. He thought that maybe they could go look for an opportunity, and that could help his partner advance.

Looking at his lover who was even more anxious than himself, the person in question, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Don’t be anxious, you have just advanced to the Spiritual King Realm, and your strength is not too stable. This is not the right time to go looking for opportunities. We can stabilize our strength while raising our Beast Fires. Improving the level of our Beast Fires will naturally improve our strength too. When the time comes, we will go to the demon beast mountain to gain experience and find opportunities, and we will also have a means to fight the enemy.”

“Raising Beast Fire? How to raise it?” Jiang Xu was very curious about this.

“I have read some books on raising Beast Fire. The best way to raise it is to feed the Beast Fire with Flower Fire. The Beast Fire has the consciousness of the demon beast remaining in it. If Beast Fire is fed with another Beast Fire, then there are chances of backlash. Therefore, it is best to use Flower Fires to raise Beast Fire. This is the best way.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu frowned. “Flower Fire? I heard that even a low-quality Flower Fire can cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.”

“Yes, the price of Flower Fire is not low, so I plan to ingest Flower Fire by myself. We only need to buy three items – Flame Flower seeds, fire-type demon beast cores, and Flame Stones. With these three things, I will be able to extract the Flower Fire by myself.” The reason why Liu Mufeng intended to cultivate their Beast Fires was, first, to improve their own strength and second, to improve the quality of their Beast Fires. Although both his andXiaoXu’s Beast Fires were high-level Beast Fires, if they were not well-cultivated for a long time, then they were likely to be swallowed up by other flames.

To add more context, the second heroine was a Craftsman who was born with a single-fire spiritual root. This kind of cultivator with a single-fire spiritual root was very, very compatible with their own Beast Fire. In addition, the second heroine was the daughter of the City Lord. The Beast Fire would have definitely been raised very well. If they really fought against her, then there was no doubt that his and Xiao Xu’s Beast Fire would be very likely swallowed up by the more powerful Beast Fire. Therefore, it was very necessary to cultivate their Beast Fires. Even if they didn’t fight against the second heroine, in the future when they went to higher continents, they would be targeted by others and their Beast Fires would be swallowed up by other people’s flames.

“Buying seeds? Can’t we just buy that Flame Flower?” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu asked uncertainly.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled. “I’m afraid it would be hard to get Flame Flowers, even the seeds and the demon core of fire-type demon beasts should not be easy to buy. Because these things are what a Flame Master needs, so many shops will directly sell the Flame Flowers and Fire-type demon beast cores to the Flame Masters directly. And we will not be able to purchase them.”

“That’s going to be hard then.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“XiaoXu, how many spirit stones do we have now?” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu frowned. “Three, three hundred spirit stones.”

It had been only three years, and the value of 30 million has shrunk to 300 spirit stones. If someone hears this, they would definitely ask, ‘how did the two of you spend it? How did you spend so fast?’

Looking at his partner, Liu Mufeng nodded. He understood that the spiritual water lake was a bottomless pit. In fact, when he andXiaoXu went into seclusion, they used spiritual water for nourishment, and not even a single spirit stone was spent on other things. However, the spiritual water lake was inseparable from spirit stones and they needed to put spirit stones into the lake periodically to ensure that the quality of the spiritual water lake remained in top condition.

Jiang Xu then comforted, “Don’t worry, although we don’t have many spirit stones anymore, we still have a lot of magic tools, numerous medicinal pills, and a lot of storage rings. If we sell these, we should be able to earn a lot of spirit stones.” The medicinal pills that Jiang Xu mentioned were all spoils of war, not the ones refined by Liu Mufeng but the pills that they had got from the storage rings.

At those words, Liu Mufeng nodded his head. “That’s all that can be done. Tomorrow, the two of us will prepare, disguise ourselves and go into the city to sell the things in our hands. Then after acquiring the spirit stones, we’ll buy the seeds to raise our Beast Fire”

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed with the plan.

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu disguised themselves and went to Tian City to sell the items. In the morning, the two sold all the magic tools and medicinal pills they could sell, and earned 3 million spirit stones, and ate a good meal at a restaurant at noon. In the afternoon, Liu Mufeng took his wife along and started shopping like crazy. He bought seeds of the Flame Flower, fire-type demon beast cores, and Flame Stones. He made purchases until all the spirit stones in his hand were spent, not even a single one left.

In the evening, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu rode their demon horses and left Tian City together.

The two had just left the city gates when they felt something was wrong. Liu Mufeng used his soul to scan and found that four cultivators had trailed them out of the city. “XiaoXu, we seem to be being watched!”

Hearing his lover’s voice transmission, Jiang Xu frowned. “Who is that?”

“I don’t know, I think they must be bandits, one in Spiritual King realm, three in Spiritual Master Realms, a total of four people.”

Jiang Xu was happy, “Don’t be afraid, I will deal with that Spiritual King Realm cultivator, and you deal with three Spiritual Master Realm cultivators. It’s just as well, we happen to be short of spirit stones.”

Hearing his lover’s voice transmission, Liu Mufeng touched his nose and smiled and inwardly thought,‘My dear lover, you sound more like a bandit than the other side!’But he couldn’t blameXiaoXu, their spiritual water lake was very difficult to maintain. Usually, he refined some pills and the spirit stones from the sale was barely enough. But this time, he was in seclusion for 15 years. Without the pills being refined, there was no income. The spirit stones they had on their person also had been used up to maintain the spiritual lake. They were really impoverished. It’s really no surprise whyXiaoXu was happy about these four people coming to rob them.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu rode their demon horses unhurriedly, and when they reached a forest outside the city, they were stopped in their tracks by four cultivators who were trailing them.

“If you want to survive, hand over your storage rings.” Looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, the bandit chief threatened in a cold voice.

Looking at the bandit chief who had a fat face and round waist, Jiang Xu looked at him with contempt. “I don’t have any spirit stones, but I have a sword, do you want to face its moves?” Jiang Xu was glad that today he listened to his partner and sold the level three magic sword he used before and replaced it with the current level four magic sword. If he didn’t have a level four magic weapon, it would be really troublesome to face a Spiritual King Realm cultivator.

Seeing Jiang Xu flashing his magic weapon and pointing the tip of his sword at him, the bandit chief was furious. Immediately took out his fourth-level magic blade, “Stinky boy, you’re courting death.” As he spoke, the bandit chief had already flown up from the back of the demon horse. He slashed directly towards Jiang Xu.

“Hei.” With a loud shout, Jiang Xu also flew up and slashed three sword moves at the bandit chief without fear, easily defusing the opponent’s attack.

“You!” Seeing Jiang Xu’s attack, the bandit leader couldn’t help being stunned.

“Hmph, you came just in time, I’m in a tight spot!” Saying that, Jiang Xu took the initiative to attack towards that bandit leader.

In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged a dozen moves, and the two figures were indistinguishable. The other three cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm also moved closer to Liu Mufeng.
