Ch130 - Top Three on the Bounty List

Three years later……

In the Ye family, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu cultivated their bodies for three years. Because Liu Mufeng had refined the Fire Rock Crystal, his strength had also risen to three stars in the Spiritual King Realm, and now he was on the same level as Jiang Xu. After several years of training in the Ye family, Liu Mufeng was now able to refine the fourth-level medicinal pills more easily than before, and his success rate of pill refining was also higher. He had ten times the time to complete the refining of third-level pills and fourth-level pills every month, which was nothing to him at all.

The Ye family would give him and Jiang Xu the spiritual plants for refining 600 pills every month. Then, they only needed to hand over 300 pills per month to the Ye family. The remaining medicinal pills could be sold at the market price. Liu Mufeng would refine 450 to 500 pills every month. His success rate was already very high, he could even refine 580 pills every month, but he didn’t want to be too ostentatious.

But even so, the two people pretending to be master and apprentice, were still highly prolific alchemists in the Ye family. Among the fifteen alchemists, the master and apprentice duo were already in the middle and upper reaches.

Because they had devoured three Beast Fires, Liu Mufeng’s Fire Spirit Insect’s strength rose sharply, and the three Fire Spirit Insect Prince drones had all advanced to one star in the Spiritual King Realm. The strength of the other Fire Spirit Insects had also skyrocketed. Even Xiaoyuan’s cultivation improved, and her strength was raised to three stars in the Spiritual King Realm.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, the master and apprentice, had a courtyard of their own in the Ye family. On usual days, they would set up a barrier in the yard to prevent anyone from entering. Living a secluded life, only coming out at the end of the month when they need to hand in the pills and receive the spiritual plants and spirit stones. The two put on their human skin masks and walk out of the yard.

After receiving the spirit stones, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went to the big restaurant in the city to celebrate.

The two entered a private room and ordered a table full of dishes. Liu Mufeng took out the letter jade pendant and contacted someone. Not long after, a six-star cultivator in the Spiritual King Realm walked into their box.

“Senior Liu!” Seeing the person coming, Liu Mufeng, the apprentice, stood up and gave him a deep salute. He has now suppressed his strength to the three-star Spiritual Master Realm, so when he saw the Spiritual King Realm cultivator he had to greet him senior, and not as a Daoist friend.

“Ah!” The guy nodded towards Liu Mufeng. The middle-aged man surnamed Liu bowed respectfully towards Jiang Xu. “Daoist Friend Wang, we meet again!”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, have you brought everything?” Looking at the man, Jiang Xu asked. This man was the deputy head of the Leibao hunting group, and he had often done business with them in recent years. Exchanging demon beasts, demon beast cores, and spiritual plants for the medicinal pills in Mufeng’s hands.

“En, I’ve brought it!” After speaking, the middle-aged male cultivator immediately took out a storage ring and handed it to Jiang Xu.

Reaching out to take it, Jiang Xu looked through it. He found that the other party brought thirty-eight demon beasts in the Spiritual King Realm this time, sixty-eight demon beasts in the spiritual master realm, a lot of spiritual plants, and a lot of demon beast cores. Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Xu put away the storage ring and handed the storage ring that had been prepared to the other party.

After taking it over, the deputy head checked it and found that it was all the batch of medicinal pills he had said he wanted before, and they were all of good quality. “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang.”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, don’t be so polite, let’s sit down and eat together.” Jiang Xu smiled and invited him.

“Senior Liu, just tell me about it.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took the jug and brought a glass of wine to the deputy head of the regiment.

“Okay, since my nephew wants to hear it, so I’ll tell you. I heard that a very interesting thing happened some time ago. The City Lord of Fire City has been spending a lot of money in recent years to offer bounties to kill the murderers of his four apprentices. The murderers, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, I heard that they were found two days ago.”

“Ah? Those two people were already found?” Looking at the cultivator, Jiang Xu asked suspiciously.

“Of course not. In order to get the bounty reward, someone found two similar-looking people in Tian City to deceive the Fire City Lord. As it turned out, the two people were not Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu at all. The person who reported the false news was beaten up.” Speaking of this, the deputy head shook his head and laughed.

“Hahaha, that’s really funny.” Liu Mufeng laughed along pretentiously.Was this a joke? Not funny at all.That old bastard City Lord of Fire City, and that slut second heroine, had been offering rewards for the capture of himself andXiaoXu for three years. Unfortunately for the father daughter duo, they had never found them, but even so, Liu Mufeng still vaguely felt that the Shengtian Continent was no longer safe for them. He planned to takeXiaoXu out of here after he took that last opportunity, lest he really be found by the second heroine and her father, which would be troublesome.

“No, it’s really crazy. So many people just want to get rich by deceiving others.” Speaking of this, the deputy head pursed his lips in a grimace.Was the 10 million spirit stones reward so well earned?

“Humans kill birds for food! That’s a reward of 10 million.” The father and daughter were really not sparing any expenses to catch them.

“This 10 million reward is not the highest on the reward list now. The City Lord of Xiang City offered a reward of 100 million spirit stones, looking for a physician or an alchemist to detoxify his precious daughter. I don’t know if Fellow Daoist Wang has heard of the reward. Are you not interested?” After speaking, the deputy head looked at Jiang Xu.

“Oh? A reward of 100 million spirit stones?”

“Yes, I heard that the daughter of the City Lord of Xiang City was poisoned, and he had already invited many physicians and alchemists to cure his daughter, but they couldn’t cure her, so this time he offered a reward. It was said that the Eldest Miss of the Zhou family was barely hanging on to her life.” Speaking of this, the deputy head sighed again and again.

“How pitiful.” Thinking of the reward of 100 million spirit stones, Liu Mufeng was a little moved.

“Yeah, I heard that the Eldest Miss of the Zhou family is already a 3-star cultivator in the Spiritual King Realm. No one expected her to become like this.” The deputy head also sighed again.

“What kind of poison has injured Miss Zhou?” Looking at the deputy head, Liu Mufeng asked suspiciously.

“I’m not too sure about this. I just heard that Miss Zhou took eight guards to go out to the demon beast mountain to practice. When she came back, she was already sick and her face had turned dark blue. Many doctors said that she was poisoned, but no one could tell the specifics on what kind of poison she was affected with, and the eight guards were also poisoned, and now their lives are hanging at the brink of death.”

“Oh!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng expressed understanding.

“Is there anything else new?” Looking at the deputy head, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“One more thing, I heard that Yang Yong, the concubine’s son of the Yang family of Array City, killed the eldest son of the Yang family and was sentenced by the family. Now, the Yang family has given orders to hunt down this person. They also issued a reward of 50 million spirit stones, to find this Yang Yong. The Yang family’s bounty now ranks second on the bounty list.” Looking at the two, master and apprentice duo, the deputy head gave the new news as well.

“Senior Liu, do you have a portrait of this person?” Looking at the deputy head, Liu Mufeng asked.

Hearing this, the deputy head smiled. “Yes, but Little Friend Wang, you should be careful, this person has the strength of five-star Spiritual King Realm, and he is also a fifth-level Array Mage. These 50 million spirit stones will not be easy to get!”

“Of course, I understand this, I’m just curious, I just want to see this person’s face.” Liu Mufeng was aware of this himself. He knew that it was impossible to catch a fifth-level Array Mage at his current level. Unless he used poison to subdue the other party first, otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.

“Take it, this is him.” After speaking, the deputy head took out a portrait for Liu Mufeng to see.

Looking at the dignified and handsome suave man in the portrait, Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows. “He doesn’t look like someone who would cruelly kill his own brother?”

“Oh, can we really judge a person’s character just by seeing their face?”

“En, that’s right!”

In course of this meal, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu exchanged what they wanted from the other man, and also got some outside news. After the meal, the master and the apprentice returned directly to Ye’s house.

After returning to their room, the two immediately set up a barrier and removed the human skin masks from their faces.

“The two of us have now gone from number one to number three on the reward list!” Jiang Xu said with a smile, looking at his partner.

“XiaoXu, I want to go to Xiang City. It is not far from here. Ten days is enough for a visit. If we can cure Miss Zhou’s disease, then we can get one billion spirit stones!” Looking at his partner, Liu Mufeng expressed his thoughts.

“Then, what about the Ye family? Do you want to tell the Ye family we are going out?”

“No, we are not going to tell them, let’s change our faces again and set off quietly. Anyway, they know that we will be in seclusion and refine pills. They will not come to our yard to disturb us.” Liu Mufeng planned to leave quietly.

“En, that’s fine too.” Jiang Xu agreed. “This time, I don’t want to be your master anymore, I’m looking too old!”

“Okay, don’t be my master, be my little lady.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took his lover’s hand.

“You’re going to make me pretend to be a woman again?” Jiang Xu frowned, a little helpless.

“There’s no other way, we two are celebrities. The contrast has to be bigger, else we will get caught easily.” Liu Mufeng was also very helpless about this. Although he could change his face, his voice cannot be changed, and he can only change himself into a man. However,XiaoXu was different.XiaoXu could change his voice and did not have Adam’s apple. He could be male, female, old, or young. Yes, he could disguise into whatever he wanted.

“Okay, that’s fine.” Jiang Xu also understood that it was an extraordinary time. The greater the difference between their disguise and the bounty portrait, the safer it was for them.

“Actually, other than Miss Zhou, I’m also quite interested in that Yang Yong.” Speaking of which, Liu Mufeng touched his chin.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu frowned. “No, this person is a fifth-level Array Mage, and a five-star Spiritual King Realm cultivator, even the two of us together may not be his opponent.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu felt that the 50 million reward spirit stone was not easy to get.

“No, I don’t want to catch him, I want to ask him to help us repair the array formation.”

“Array formation?” Hearing this, Jiang Xu was stunned. “You want to go back to Lingwu Continent?”

“I think it’s getting more and more unsafe here.” The Bai father and the daughter were all the while looking for them, making Liu Mufeng feel very uneasy.

Hearing his lover’s words, Jiang Xu nodded. “Yes, it’s not safe here anymore. If we go back to the Lingwu Continent, the two of us will be in the Spiritual King Realm. No one would dare to provoke us, and we don’t have to go out every day.”

“En, let’s talk about it later, I don’t know if we can find this Yang Yong.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng sighed softly.

“En, that’s true.” Nodding, Jiang Xu also felt that it was not easy, this person must be hiding now and would not be easily found.
