Ch148 - Ouyang Father and Sons

Fang Tiancheng took out ten third-level storage rings from his own storage ring, and placed them on the table. “Mufeng, these are the corpses of some first and second-level demon beasts that I collected for you on the way from Tianji City to Black Dragon City. You can feed your Five Elements Spirit Insects.”

Liu Mufeng was stunned. “Fourth Uncle, why did you do this?”

“I asked your Fourth Uncle to help you collect them. You don’t know this, when you were in seclusion,XiaoXu practiced swordsmanship every day, and also helped you raise tens of thousands of your Five Element Spirit Insects, which was very hard work for him. I felt very bad when I saw him suffering so much. So, I told your uncle to collect more demon beasts for you along the way.” Looking at her nephew, Wang Yufeng explained.

“So that’s the case. Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle, I have troubled you.” Looking at his uncle and aunt, Liu Mufeng thanked them gratefully.

“Mufeng doesn’t have to be a stranger with us. You are our nephew and collecting these was no trouble.” After speaking, Fang Tiancheng took out another pair of bracelets. “Mufeng, you andXiaoXu got married, and your Fourth Aunt and I couldn’t make it in time. This is a pair of level-four protective bracelets that I asked the Lord of Artifact City to help me refine, so consider this as a wedding gift. It’s a little thought from me and your Fourth Aunt.”

Seeing this bracelet, Liu Mufeng frowned. “Fourth Uncle, this is too precious.”

“No, this is how it should be. We are all a family. Besides, you helped both of your Cousins wash their spiritual roots in the secret realm. Your Fourth Uncle is very grateful to you. If you hadn’t helped them, how would they have been able to do it? Would they have become a cultivator in the Spiritual Master Realm this soon?” Fang Tiancheng was very happy to hear that the two sons had both turned into single spiritual roots as soon as they left the secret realm. Originally, he was thinking of sending some gifts to thank his nephew, but unexpectedly, this nephew has already left the Lingwu Continent.

“Uncle, when I was in the secret realm, I took advantage of my two Cousins. The Second Cousin’s Soul Nourishing Water helped me a lot. Or else with us the power of my soul power, I wouldn’t have been able to become a fourth level alchemist so quickly. So, you are really too polite.” Liu Mufeng said helplessly, looking at the Fang family’s Father and Son.

“No, no, no matter what, Uncle and Aunt are very grateful to you. Come on, these bracelets are a pair, you andXiaoXu can wear them to see if they fit.” Wang Yufeng picked up the bracelets and took Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu’s hands, and helped the young couple put them on their wrists.

“What a delicate bracelet!” Jiang Xu liked the bracelet very much. He happily stroked the patterns on the bracelet.

“This bracelet is engraved with an inscription, which can increase the protection. It can save lives when necessary.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Fang Tiancheng said.

“Oh.” Nodding his head, Jiang Xu felt that the magic weapon was really good.

“Auntie, isn’t your strength still stuck in the nine stars of the Spiritual Mortal Realm? Let me help you wash your spiritual roots. After washing the spiritual root, you will soon be able to advance to the Spiritual Master Realm.” Looking at his Aunt, Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

Wang Yufeng was stunned as he heard Mufeng’s suggestion and then shook her head. “No no no, you have just left seclusion, you should rest more. Your Aunt is already this old, with a few spiritual roots, it doesn’t matter what kind of cultivation I have.”

“Mufeng, helpXiaoYa wash her spiritual root, she is a double spiritual root.” Looking at his partner, Jiang Xu opened his mouth, helping his Cousin-in-Law fight for the slot.

“Mufeng, will it be too much trouble? Why don’t you just washXiaoYa’s roots, you don’t need to wash Aunt’s roots.” Wang Yufeng said while looking at her nephew.

“Mufeng, there are only three slots to wash the spiritual roots. Uncle originally planned to help your Cousin buy a place. Here are the spirit stones that I had put aside to buy a slot for your Cousin. It’s a billion spirit stones, you keep it.” After speaking, Fang Tiancheng took out another storage ring.

“Fourth Uncle, keep these spirit stones for cultivation. I will wash the spiritual roots of Aunt and Cousin for free.”

“Mufeng, this.. this is not goodah! It’s not easy for you andXiaoXu to raise so many Five Elements Spirit Insects.” Fang Tiancheng knew that the number of places to wash the spiritual roots was very tight, and the reserve price for a place was 300 million, with his 1 billion spirit stones, it would be difficult to buy one quota at the auction, let alone two quotas.

“Fourth Uncle, everyone is family, so please don’t be polite.” The pair of fourth-level instruments that Fang Tiancheng gifted were worth at least seven or eight million spirit stones, plus the ten storage rings containing the first-level and second-level demon beasts would total up to at least 10 to 20 million spirit stones.

Compared with the 300 million spirit stones, the 20 million spirit stones were naturally far less in value. However, the Fourth Aunt was kind to the original owner after all, so Liu Mufeng didn’t want to be too demanding.

“Okay, since Mufeng said so, then the Fourth Uncle won’t say anything more. When going back to Tianji City, the Fourth Uncle will collect more demon beasts and send them over here, so that you andXiaoXu won’t have to work so hard.”

“In that case, then I would like to thank my Fourth Uncle.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng thanked softly, but did not refuse. As they said, raising a group of Spirit Insects was indeed a very hard thing.

*****

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu met the three Ouyang Father and Sons who came to visit.

“I have met Daoist Ouyang.” Seeing Sect Master Ouyang, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu saluted politely.

“Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Jiang, please don’t be polite. Previously, I brought my two sons to visit you. Fellow Daoist Wang said that Fellow Daoist Liu was in seclusion refining pills and preparing the needed items for the auction, so I didn’t have the heart to come and disturb again. It was only after I received a message from Fellow Daoist Wang, and heard that Fellow Daoist Liu had left seclusion that I came to visit again.” Speaking of this, Ouyang Qing smiled.

“Yes, my Grandfather has already told me about this. It was this Mufeng’s fault for making Daoist Ouyang travel back and forth for nothing. Daoist Ouyang, two Nephews, please take a seat.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng smiled and gestured, greeting the guests.

“The three of you, please drink some tea!” After making a pot of spiritual tea, Jiang Xu poured tea for the three people with a smile.

“Oh, this tea is very good.” Ouyang Qing said with a smile, smelling the rich aroma of the spiritual tea.

“Oh, this is the spiritual tea thatXiaoXu and I brought back from the Middle Continent. Fellow Daoist Ouyang, have a taste.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“En!” Bowing his head, Ouyang Qing took a sip. “Yes, good, good, very good tea indeed.”

Hearing his Father’s praises, Ouyang Zhe and Ouyang Hao also lowered their heads and tasted the tea in the cup.

“Fellow Daoist Ouyang, I have something I want to discuss with Fellow Daoist!” Looking at Ouyang Qing, Liu Mufeng opened the topic with a smile.

“Oh? I don’t know what Fellow Daoist Liu is referring to?” Ouyang Qing was surprised when he heard Liu Mufeng’s words. He had come to Liu Mufeng to get a quota of his two sons. It was not difficult to buy a quota at the auction with his financial resources, but it was not so easy to buy two places. Therefore, he had the idea of going through the back door to get a place. Unexpectedly, before he could mention the topic, Liu Mufeng wanted to discuss something with him. However, this was also a good thing. If Liu Mufeng asked for something, it would be even better for him to negotiate for the quota.

“I want three places in the Lingwu Sect as disciples. Me,XiaoXu, and a friend of mine, the three of us want to join Lingwu Sect.” Looking at Ouyang Qing, Liu Mufeng directly stated his request.

“Join my sect?” This request surprised Ouyang Qing.

“The three Seniors of the Spiritual King Realm all want to join the Lingwu Sect?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Ouyang Zhe’s face was a little strange. He couldn’t help thinking:Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu, and Yang Yong were all powerful cultivators in the Spiritual King Realm. The three of them were not weaker than their own father at all. If all three of them joined their Lingwu Sect, could father suppress the three? If they couldn’t be suppressed, wouldn’t the position of the Sect Master be changed?

Glancing at his Eldest Son, Ouyang Qing smiled. “Fellow Daoist Liu is aiming for the selection of the main sect of Zunhuang Continent in three years, right?”

“That’s right, that’s why!XiaoXu and I, and my friend, the three of us want to go to the Zunhuang Continent.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng told the truth and didn’t hide it in the slightest.

Ouyang Qing nodded. “Okay, if that’s the case, then from today, the three Fellow Daoists will officially join our Lingwu Sect. They will be the Elders of my Lingwu Sect. This is the waist pendant.” After speaking, Ouyang Qing readily took out three waist pendants.

Seeing the waist pendant, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Senior Brother Ouyang is really quite straight-forward.” Liu Mufeng thought that he would need to spend some time convincing the others; he didn’t expect to get the status of an Elder of Lingwu Sect so smoothly.

“Hahaha, Junior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Jiang are both outstanding people. It is my honor for both of you to join my Lingwu Sect.” It was just a title, it was not a big deal. The Main Sect in Zunhuang Continent always selected disciples from other Sect branches in different continents, and every time the selection approached, there would be situations where big families would give gifts to get their people added. For Ouyang Qing, this kind of thing was no longer surprising.

“Since Senior Brother Ouyang is so straight-forward, then Junior Brother is very grateful. On the list of this Junior Brother’s auction, if there are things that Senior Brother has an eye on, he can say it directly, and treat it as this Junior Brother’s introductory gift to honor Senior Brother. How about it?”

Hearing this, Ouyang Qing smiled. “In this case, Senior Brother will thank my Junior Brother.”

“Can I choose anything from the auction list?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Ouyang Zhe asked uncertainly.

“Yes, anything is allowed, but you can only choose one.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Father…” Turning his head, Ouyang Zhe looked at his father with some excitement. He also understood that it was impossible for his father to buy two places at the auction, so this could be said as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Junior Brother, to tell you the truth, I brought your two Nephews here this time to wash the spiritual roots. However, with the gathering of major forces at this auction, it would not be easy to get two places for the Nephewsah!” Ouyang Qing said and smiled bitterly.

“No problem, I can give Senior Brother a free quota. Let Nephew Ouyang stay back and we can wash the spiritual roots first.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng agreed with a smile.

“Okay, then let my Eldest Son stay to wash his spiritual roots. Thank you, Junior Brother.” Bowing his head, Ouyang Qing immediately thanked him.

“We are all a family, Senior Brother, don’t be polite!”
