Ch132 - Getting the Golden Spirit Pearl

Edited by Zaki

When the housekeeper and another guard walked in, they saw that Zhao Tiezhu’s complexion on the bed had improved a lot, and the color of his lips was not so dark anymore. Only a single piece of clothing covered him, and the rest of the clothes had been stripped from his body. He was currently pierced with more than fifty silver needles.

“Master Zhang, how is Zhao Tiezhu?” The old housekeeper came over and asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, housekeeper, I have already given him the antidote, and then combined with my acupuncture, he should wake up within half an hour, and he will be fine.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile. In fact, the acupuncture treatment was only to unblock the blood vessels, there was no great effect, and it was only to cover up the curse.

Hearing this, the old housekeeper was overjoyed. “Good, good. I’m going to report to the City Lord.”

Looking at the old housekeeper who had left in a hurry, Liu Mufeng didn’t stop the other party. He thought to himself: ‘Soon this bounty of 100 million spirit stones would be received. Thinking of the bounty, Liu Mufeng frowned. Although the bounty of 100 million spirit stones was a lot, Liu Mufeng, who had been an alchemist in the Ye family for three years had sold a lot of medicinal pills in private, so, the 100 million spirit stones didn’t seem to be that important to him either. Thinking like this, Liu Mufeng had an idea – it would be great if he could replace the 100 million spirit stones with a treasure that could help Xiao Xu improve by a small realm.’

Currently,XiaoXu was a three-star in the Spiritual King Realm. And he had been at this strength for six years. At this moment, his strength was very stable and solid. As long as he had the right opportunity,XiaoXu could advance to the next small realm anytime. If there was no good opportunity, andXiaoXu had to wait to advance naturally, then it might take a good few years.

Not long after, the old housekeeper arrived here with City Lord Zhou and Helian Xing.

“Alchemist Zhang, this is my City Lord, this is Alchemist Helian, a friend of my City Lord, and a sixth-level alchemist.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the housekeeper immediately introduced the other party.

“Ah! Paying my respects to the two seniors.” Bowing their heads, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu hurriedly bowed.

“Little friend, no need to be polite, I wonder what these two young friends call themselves?” Looking at the two, City Master Zhou inquired.

“This junior’s name is Zhang Hui, and this is my Dao Companion — Zhang Yan.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng introduced themselves.

“Oh, it turned out to be two Zhang Fellow Daoists.” Looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, City Lord Zhou nodded.

Looking at these two middle-aged couples with the surname Zhang, Helian Xing raised his eyebrows. He thought it would be young talents, but unexpectedly, this Zhang Hui was actually an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and even his partner was also ordinary-looking with a very average appearance.

“Little Friend Zhang, How’s Zhao Tiezhu now?” City Lord Zhou looked at Zhao Tiezhu on the bed, as he spoke to Liu Mufeng.

“Oh, he has already been fed the medicinal pills. I’m doing acupuncture on him now and he should wake up soon.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“En.” Nodding, City Lord Zhou glanced at Helian Xing beside him.

Not long after, the Zhao Tiezhu on the bed slowly opened his eyes and looked around somewhat confusedly.

“Zhao Tiezhu, you’re awake?” Seeing Zhao Tiezhu wake up, City Master Zhou immediately went forward to check.

“City Lord, I, where am I?” Seeing the City Lord and seeing himself covered in silver needles, Zhao Tiezhu was a bit confused.

“You guys and Yun’erwere poisoned when you went out for practice. It was this Alchemist Zhang who saved you.” Saying that, City Lord Zhou looked at Liu Mufeng.

“Oh, many thanks to Alchemist Zhang.” After speaking, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to get up but was held down by Liu Mufeng.

“This fellow Daoist, don’t move yet, I’ll remove the silver needles. You’ve been in a coma for a month, your body is weak, you need to rest more in the recent period, and you’ll be fine after a few days of recuperation.” Liu Mufeng extracted his silver needles one by one and explained.

“Yes, thank you Alchemist Zhang for reminding me.” Zhao Tiezhu thanked him repeatedly.

“Little Friend Zhang, follow me to see Yun’er.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, City Lord Zhou interrupted their conversation.

“Senior Zhou, Miss Zhou is from the nobility. I will go to see her but I must follow my method. Moreover, if I can’t treat Miss Zhou well, Senior Zhou doesn’t have to drive me away, I will naturally take my partner away. But, if I am lucky enough to heal Miss Zhou, I don’t want a reward of 100 million spirit stones, I want something else.” Looking at City Lord Zhou, Liu Mufeng put forward his request without being condescending.

“Oh? What is Little Friend Zhang’s request? Don’t be hesitant.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, City Lord Zhou asked cheerfully.

“My partner’s strength has been stuck for a while, and I want to ask for a spiritual treasure for”her”to advance to a small realm. I hope Senior Zhou will agree to my request.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng looked at his lover beside him.

At those words, City Master Zhou’s gaze also fell on Jiang Xu. “This young friend is a three-star Spiritual King Realm, Golden Spirit Root cultivator, right?”

“Yes, Senior.” Nodding, Jiang Xu confirmed.

“Okay, this matter is not difficult to handle. As long as you can heal my daughter, I can still take out a fourth-level spiritual treasure.” Nodding, City Lord Zhou agreed to the request.

“In that case, then I would like to thank Senior Zhou.”

“Come with me, Little Friend.” After negotiating the conditions, City Lord Zhou immediately took Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu to his daughter’s boudoir.

On this side, the housekeeper sent two maids to take care of Zhao Tiezhu and also followed to the young lady’s courtyard.

When he came to this Miss Zhou’s room, Liu Mufeng, as usual, first took a pulse, looked at the color of her face, and lips, and then looked under her eyes. He also took some blood to check and confirmed that the situation was the same as that of the guard. After this, he requested the others to leave the room.

“This Zhang Hui is very strange. He doesn’t even let people watch him when he is treating the illness.” Standing outside the door, the housekeeper whispered.

Hearing this, Helian Xing smiled bitterly. “Maybe, he’s guarding against me.” This was understandable. Many alchemists were proud of themselves and didn’t like to refine pills in front of their peers. They would hide any unique skills.

“Not necessarily. I suspect that this person may be more than an alchemist.” Speaking of this, City Lord Zhou frowned. He felt that a poison that a sixth-level alchemist could not cure could definitely not be detoxified by a fourth-level alchemist. The only possibility was that this fourth-level alchemist was both an Alchemist and a Poison Master.

Raising his eyebrows, Helian Xing looked at his old friend. “Fellow Daoist Zhou suspects he is a Poison Master?”

“I think it’s very much possible.” Nodding, City Lord Zhou answered very affirmatively.

At these words, Helian Xing also nodded his head. “There is indeed this possibility!”

“Housekeeper, go to the business center and get that Golden Spirit Bead.” Looking at the housekeeper, City Lord Zhou ordered. No matter who the other party was, as long as he could heal his daughter, the reward would definitely not be less. In fact, a fourth-level spiritual treasure was really nothing to a wealthy city owner like City Lord Zhou. Its value was not much higher than 100 million spirit stones.

“Yes.” In response, the old housekeeper turned and left to carry out the order.

Not long after, the door of the room opened, and both Lord Zhou and Helian Xing walked into the room to check.

At this moment, Miss Zhou’s face was obviously much better. Jiang Xu, who had disguised himself as a woman, was sitting beside her, giving her acupuncture.

Helian Xing stepped forward to check on her and was overjoyed. “Fellow Daoist Zhou, niece’s poison has also been lifted.”

“Truly?” Hearing this, City Lord Zhou was overjoyed and his eyes were red with excitement. This was the daughter left to him by the woman he loved most. She was also the daughter he loved the most. In fact, City Lord Zhou had five daughters, however, the other four were all daughters from his concubines and not favored. Only this Eldest Miss, Zhou Xiangyun, was the most beloved daughter of City Lord Zhou. She had been pampered the most by her father.

After Miss Zhou woke up, Jiang Xu took the silver needles away and went with Liu Mufeng to rescue the other seven guards.

After a busy night, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu finally broke the curse on Miss Zhou and the eight guards.

The next day, City Lord Zhou personally invited Liu Mufeng and his wife to have a banquet together. Zhou Xiangyun, the Eldest Miss of the Zhou family, also attended the dinner.

“Xiangyun thanks Alchemist Zhang for saving my life.” Zhou Xiangyun smiled and poured a glass of wine for Liu Mufeng.

“I don’t dare to, Miss Zhou has just recovered from a serious illness, it’s better to take more care of herself in the recent period. It is best to take a nourishing element pill every day, which can regulate the muscles and improve the spiritual energy. Let Miss Zhou’s body recover faster.” Looking at Miss Zhou, Liu Mufeng advised.

“Okay, I have noted it. Thank you, Alchemist Zhang.” Nodding, Miss Zhou thanked the other party profusely.

“Daoist Friend Zhang, many thanks to you this time. This is a thousand-year-old Golden Spirit Bead. I am giving it to you to express my gratitude.” With that, City Lord Zhou presented a Golden Spirit Bead that was the size of an egg.

Looking at the shining Golden Spirit Bead in the brocade box, both Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were overjoyed and thanked the other party, “Thank you, Senior Zhou.”

“No need to be polite!”

“Alchemist Zhang, I will take the liberty to ask. Exactly what kind of poison was Neice Xiangyun poisoned with?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Helian Xing asked curiously.

Hearing that, Liu Mu Feng smiled. “It is a kind of poisonous plant. This poisonous plant blooms very brightly, after blooming, it will sprinkle out seeds, the seeds are as light as cotton wool. If inhaled by cultivators or demon beasts in the mouth and nose, they will be poisoned.”

“Master Zhang is talking about the Night Blue Flower?” Helian Xing asked again, raising his eyebrows.

Looking at the serious-looking Helian Xing who was asking his doubts, Liu Mu Feng smiled. “There are one hundred and thirty-eight kinds of poisonous plants that match the habits I just mentioned. How does senior Helian know it must be the Night Blue Flower?”

Hearing this, Helian Xing’s eyes widened in shock. “One hundred and thirty-eight? So many?”

“Yes, these one hundred and thirty-eight species are limited to the Shengtian Continent and does not include the poisonous plants from other continents.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

After hearing Liu Mufeng’s explanation, Helian Xing nodded and smiled. “Alchemist Zhang really knows a lot about Poisonous Plants.”

“Senior Helian is overpraising me.”
