Ch166 - Yu Piaohua

A few days later, in the main hall.

Sitting in the chair, Ouyang Qing was talking with his three Sect Elders about Liu Mufeng and the other two people with him.

“How’s the Third Elder’s investigation? Did Liu Mufeng really kill Zhang Tie?” Looking at the Third Elder, Ouyang Qing asked.

“Yes Sect Master, the subordinates investigated and learned that Liu Shen of the Liu family coveted the Spirit Insects in Liu Mufeng’s hands and wanted to capture Liu Mufeng’s contract pet Spirit Insect. Liu Mufeng had asked the Wang family and the Fang family brothers to breed the Spirit Insects, and when they came down from the Demon Beast Mountain, they were besieged by Liu Shen’s group. Moreover, the Zhang family and Yin Yu of the Immortal Demon Sect also went to capture the Spirit Insects along with them. Unexpectedly, Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu and Yang Yong arrived in time, and all six of them were killed by Liu Mufeng and the other two!” Looking at Ouyang Qing, the Third Elder reported the news.

Hearing this, Ouyang Qing snorted coldly. “To actually covet another person’s demon beast, this sin could obviously not be forgiven!”

“Yeah, who told them to be so unscrupulous? Originally, they were all relatives. Now it turned out bad, relatives have become enemies.” Nodding, the other three Elders agreed.

“Second Elder, what are the three people doing recently?” Turning his head, Ouyang Qing looked at the Second Elder.

“Sect Master, Liu Mufeng has been out every morning and returning late every day, reading in our library.” Looking at Ouyang Qing, the Second Elder reported.

“Reading?” Hearing this, Ouyang Qing was stunned, then frowned. “Did he go to the third floor to see the book inheritance of the Alchemy Techniques?”

The Second Elder shook his head. “No, he didn’t go to the third floor to see the inheritance of Alchemy Techniques, nor did he go to the second floor to see the Cultivation Techniques. He has always been on the first floor.”

“What? The first floor?” Ouyang Qing was shocked.

“The first floor? What’s so good about the first floor? Aren’t there just some miscellaneous idle books there?” Looking at the Second Elder, the First Elder asked, puzzled.

“This, I don’t know either. Anyway, the disciple who followed him said so.” Spreading his hands, the Second Elder said.

Ouyang Qing narrowed his eyes. “Second Elder, did you send a disciple to follow Liu Mufeng secretly?”

“No, no, I didn’t ask the disciples to follow secretly, instead they are following them openly. I told Liu Mufeng and the other two that since they were unfamiliar with the sect’s environment, I would send two disciples to each of them to serve them. The three people are Spiritual King Realm cultivators, I think, if I send disciples to follow secretly, the three of them will easily detect it, and it would reflect badly, so I thought it was best they followed them openly as they served the three people.” The Second Elder hurriedly explained.

Ouyang Qing smiled with satisfaction. “En, this is a good job, and I will remember your merit. You can’t do it secretly. If Liu Mufeng finds out, it will be troublesome, it’s better to do it openly.”

“xTA!” zfBBQJN, dIT lTGfJB kYBTi LNiTTB.

“Oh, this Yang Yong is quite calm. You go and tell the Fifth Elder to try and give a high price for Yang Yong’s array plate. If no other disciples buy it, our sect can use it!”

“I’ll follow the Sect Master’s order.” The Second Elder responded.

“What about Jiang Xu? What is Jiang Xu doing? That man is very cruel, so pay close attention to what he does.” Jiang Xu was originally a sword cultivator. Not long after returning to the continent, he killed three Spiritual King Realm cultivators, including two Uncles of Liu Mufeng, which could be said to be fierce.

“Heah! He set up a stall at the trading house with his two disciples who were serving him.”

“Setting up a stall? Selling medicinal pills?”

“He’s bartering the medicinal pills, not selling.” Looking at Ouyang Qing, the Second Elder immediately corrected.

“Bartering medicinal pills? What’s the method for exchange? Exchanging for the spiritual plants?”

“Yes, he exchanged third-level medicinal pills for the third-level and fourth-level spiritual plants. However, he doesn’t exchange for spiritual plants very often. He mainly trades for corpses of demon beasts. The carcass must be fresh. It did not matter if they were first level, second level or third level demon beasts’ carcasses. All of them were accepted.”

“In exchange for the corpse of the demon beasts? He didn’t exchange the medicinal pills for the spiritual plants, but for the demon beasts?” The First Elder was very surprised at this.

“Yes, isn’t it strange to want demon beasts instead of Spiritual Plants and spirit stones?” The Third Elder also felt very puzzled about this.

“It’s not surprising, Liu Mufeng has about 100,000 Five Elements Spirit Insects. If you don’t have enough demon beasts, what do the Spirit Insects eat? Do you think raising the Five Elements Spirit Insects is so easy?” Ouyang Qing was not surprised by this.

“En, what the Sect Master said makes sense. Before, for the sake of these Spirit Insects, Liu Mufeng specially asked the Wang family brothers and Fang family siblings to take them out so that they could eat more demon beasts. These Spirit Insects do eat a lot!” Nodding, the Second Elder was convinced.

“Liu Mufeng is a fourth-level alchemist. The third-level medicinal pills he has refined are much stronger than the pills made by the Seventh and Eighth Elder. Sect Master, why don’t we secretly exchange a batch of medicinal pills and come back?” Looking at Ouyang Qing, the First Elder suggested.

“Okay, arrange for the disciples to go over to change the pills. You guys don’t show up!”

“Yes, Sect Master!” In response, the First Elder expressed his understanding.

———-

The first floor of the library.

Liu Mufeng found a secluded corner and took out his table and chairs from the storage ring. The two disciples who were in charge of serving him immediately went to the bookshelf to pick up the books and placed them on the table for him.

Picking up a book, Liu Mufeng turned page by page, reading very seriously. When he encountered some content that he thought was very important, he took out a recording stone and directly recorded the content.

In fact, in the second and third floors of the library, the recording stones were not allowed for recording the content. However, there was no such rule on the first floor, because the books on the first floor were all casual books, most of which were books on history and geography, as well as some books on demon beasts and spiritual plants, and there were not many practical books. Moreover, there were many of these books that Liu Mufeng had read elsewhere.

Liu Mufeng had been to Shengtian Continent and also had read many books in Black Dragon City. Therefore, his understanding of demon beasts and spiritual plants had already reached a high level like his alchemy skills. Looking at the books in the Lingwu Sect’s library now, naturally some of the content was already known to Liu Mufeng.

“XiaoLiu!” Turning his head, Liu Mufeng looked at the disciple behind him.

“Yes, Great Elder, you ordered.” Bowing his head, the disciple hurriedly responded.

“There are not enough inscription stones, go and buy me a few more.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them over to the other party.

“Yes, I’ll go right now.” Nodding,XiaoLiu took the spirit stones and left respectfully.

Glancing at the back of the other party’s departure, Liu Mufeng lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand. It was a history book, which told the origin and development history of Lingwu Sect. In the eyes of many cultivators, this kind of book was garbage, a useless recreational book. However, Liu Mufeng didn’t see it that way. In three months, he,XiaoXu and Yang Yong would go to the main sect of Lingwu Sect in the Zunhuang Continent. It was definitely not a bad thing to know more about the general matters of the sect in advance.

Looking at Liu Mufeng, who was sitting alone in the corner reading a book, a woman in white came over with a smile.

Feeling that someone was approaching, Liu Mufeng raised his head and saw a graceful and beautiful woman in white looking over with a smile. Seeing the woman’s face, Liu Mufeng was slightly stunned. Because he had seen this woman, and it was none other than the host of the auction – Yu Piaohua.

“Cousin Mufeng, long time no see.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Yu Piaohua greeted Liu Mufeng with a smile.

“Cousin has come to read too?” Standing up, Liu Mufeng politely greeted the other party. This Yu Piaohua was the niece of the Aunt’s family, so she and the Wang brothers were Cousins, making him a distant cousin as well.

“Yeah, I came to look for books that introduced Spiritual Plants!” Yu Piaohua said with a smile.

“Oh, books that introduce Spiritual Plants. The books on the three bookshelves in the east are all books introducing Spiritual Plants.” Saying this, Liu Mufeng pointed to the bookshelf in the east.

“Thank you Cousin for telling me. Cousin, what book are you reading?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Yu Piaohua asked curiously.

“Oh, I just found a few recreational books, just to pass the time.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng said lightly.

“Ah, then I’ll go pick my books first, I’m sorry for disturbing you, Cousin.” With an elegant smile, Yu Piaohua smiled and left.

Seeing that the person was gone, Liu Mufeng didn’t care more and sat down to continue reading the book in his hand.

Walking away and standing behind a bookshelf, Yu Piaohua looked back at Liu Mufeng, who was still continuing to read with great interest and her beautiful eyebrows knitted into a ball. She thought to herself: Is this Liu Mufeng a fool or a nerd? Shouldn’t he take the initiative to come over to help me introduce books, take the initiative to strike up a conversation and please me?

Although the Yu family was not as prominent as the Wang family, it was also one of the biggest influential families in Black Dragon City. Yu Piaohua was beautiful and had been the little princess of the Yu family since childhood, and was also very popular in the Wang family, doted on by Wang Yongshan.Normally when she went out with the five Wang Brothers, they also took good care of this Cousin of theirs.

Because of her good background, beautiful appearance, and the strength of a single spiritual root and a Spiritual Master Realm cultivator, Yu Piaohua could be said to have countless suitors in Lingwu Sect. They would take every opportunity to get close to her and tried their best to please her, but Yu Piaohua was disdainful of these men who came to her door. Until she saw Liu Mufeng.

In truth, Liu Mufeng’s appearance was handsome, but it was not enough to impress the proud Yu Piaohua. However, she was deeply impressed by Liu Mufeng’s talent. A forty-two year-old cultivator in the Spiritual King Realm, a level-four alchemist, with a swarm of Five Elements Spirit Insects in his hands. It could be said that Liu Mufeng was the first person in Lingwu continent to have the potential to reach the Spiritual Emperor Realm at a very young age. Yu Piaohua felt that such an excellent man was worthy of her beauty. It was just a pity that good cabbages were always arched by pigs in advance. Unexpectedly, such an excellent Liu Mufeng had actually married the murderous and notoriously famous Dual, Jiang Xu.

This made Yu Piaohua very depressed. Because she knew that her strength was not as good as Jiang Xu. It would not be easy to compete with Jiang Xu for Liu Mufeng. She finally got the time to be alone with Liu Mufeng today, but as a result, this wood dared to ignore this young lady.Really hateful. So hateful!
