Ch175 - Viewing Alchemy

Edited by Zaki

Liu Mufeng came to Sword Peak to find Jiang Xu, and found that Jiang Xu’s cave was also a small and simple cave, so he took Jiang Xu directly to the foot of Sword Peak. Then he spent three hundred high-grade spirit stones to rent a small yard.

Although the courtyard was small, the condition was really good.. The green brick house had three rooms; the bedroom, a living room and a kitchen.In addition, there was a thatched outhouse in the backyard of the yard. Flowers were planted along the courtyard and there was also a water well for their water supply. Although the courtyard was small, it was well-equipped, which was much better than the free cave houses.

“XiaoXu, do you think this house looks like the house we lived in Black Dragon City?” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“En, it’s quite similar, but the yard here is bigger than that house, and it has a backyard. You can grow a lot of spiritual plants. It’s just a little expensive. It costs about 300 high-grade spirit stones, right?” 300 high-grade spirit stones was equivalent to 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones, which was 3 million low-grade spirit stones.

“It’s not expensive. If it were monthly rent, then it is 30 spirit stones for a month, and the yearly rent is 300 spirit stones. Renting it yearly can save us 60 spirit stones.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng said indifferently. Spending this much was worth it, as he didn’t want to live separately from his wife, and didn’t want his wife to live in a small, simple cave house.

“En, that’s true.” Nodding, Jiang Xu also knew that the annual rent was cheaper.

“XiaoXu, I plan to plant fourth-level spiritual plants in the front yard and the backyard. In the future, I can directly use the spiritual plants in the bracelet dimension for refining, and I can save the spirit stones for buying the spiritual plants.” Liu Mufeng decided to plant spiritual plants in the yard to disguise his bracelet dimension. In this way, when he took out the spiritual plants, others would only think that he planted it in the yard by himself.

“Okay, I’ll help you grow the spiritual plants, but you still have to be careful. There are many experts in the sect. Don’t be discovered, it will be troublesome.” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu was still a little worried.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take out the high-aged spiritual plants, I will only take the ordinary spiritual plants.” The spiritual plants in the bracelet dimension were divided into two types, one side had the more precious high-year spiritual plants that had been cultivated. These spiritual plants were the ones that Liu Mufeng used to make medicinal pills for him andXiaoXu to eat, and he would not take them out casually. The other side was for ordinary spiritual plants. When these spiritual plants matured, the Wood Spirit Insects would harvest them. Although they were planted in the bracelet dimension, they were no different from the spiritual plants outside.

“En.” Jiang Xu nodded when he heard his lover say that.

“How is everything at your end? Is your Master treating you well? Is he fierce?” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng asked worriedly.

“No, Master is very kind. The Senior Brothers are also very kind to me.” With a smile, Jiang Xu assured his lover.

“En, it’s good that it’s okay. This is at the foot of Sword Peak. If you want to practice your sword during the day, you can go to the sword practice room at the back of the Sword Peak. It’s also more convenient to go see your Master.” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng said so.

“En, my side is closer. But for you to go to Pill Peak, it’s a bit far.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu frowned.

“XiaoXu, do you need to go to the class tomorrow?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile, hugging his wife.

“Ah, that’s good. Let’s go and cultivate.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile, hugging Jiang Xu’s waist.

Hearing his lover’s words, Jiang Xu smiled helplessly. He didn’t think that the cultivation that his lover was talking about was as simple as two people sitting on the bed and meditating. “Didn’t we agree to plant spiritual plants in the yard together tomorrow?”

“Honey, just once.” Holding Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng led him into the bedroom.

Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu smiled wryly. He obviously knew his husband would never be satisfied just doing it one time, because this guy’s words never counted in bed. However, he did not refuse. They had finally made it to the Zunhuang Continent, got a place together and finally settled down. It was good to enjoy this beautiful moment and comfortable life.

The next day, the two of them got up in the afternoon and went to the yard to plant spiritual plants.

Looking at the husband and wife who were planting spiritual plants in the yard, the neighbor who lived next door smiled and ran over to say hello. “Seventh Junior Brother, did you rent this house?”

“Yes, Sixth Senior Brother.” Seeing Feng Hui, Jiang Xu smiled and greeted the visitor.

“Who is this?” Looking at Liu Mufeng standing aside, Feng Hui asked with a smile.

“Sixth Senior Brother, this is my Dao Companion – Liu Mufeng, he is now Pill Peak’s sixth disciple.” Looking at his Senior Brother, Jiang Xu introduced.

“Greetings Senior Brother Feng.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Oh, so it’s Junior Brother Liu. What are you doing?” Looking at the two, Feng Hui asked.

“Ah, we are planting spiritual plants. Mufeng is an alchemist who always needs spiritual plants. We got some spiritual plants seeds from our hometown and want to plant them in the yard.” Looking at Feng Hui, Jiang Xu explained.

“So that’s how it is. That’s good, anyway, the empty space in the yard is idle. It’s not bad to grow some spiritual plants by yourself to refine pills.” Feng Hui knew that many alchemists like to grow spiritual plants by themselves. This kind of thing was quite normal.

“Senior Brother Feng, do you live by yourself or share a yard with other Brothers?” Looking at Feng Hui, Liu Mufeng asked.

“Oh, I live by myself.” With a smile, Feng Hui replied.

“If Senior Brother Feng lives by himself, can you lend me your backyard to grow some spiritual plants? I can share thirty percent of the spiritual plants grown in your courtyard. Of course, if Senior Brother does not want the spiritual plants, we can also exchange for fourth-level medicinal pills. What do you think, Senior Brother?” Liu Mufeng said while looking at Feng Hui.

At these words, Feng Hui raised his eyebrows. “Fine, anyway, I just cultivate in my room at night, and practice swords in the sword training room during the day, so I don’t have much use of the front and backyard. Junior Brother can use it if you want. I usually don’t lock the yard door, and the door at home is also not used. There are no valuables at home, and Junior Brother can come to my yard to sow and harvest spiritual plants at any time.”

“Okay, from now on, we settle monthly. I will calculate the price at the end of each month. Does Senior Brother want spiritual plants or medicinal pills?” Looking at Feng Hui, Liu Mufeng asked.

“Pills, I will just take the fourth-level Rejuvenation Pill.” Rejuvenation Pill was a commonly used pill in exchange of spirit stones. If you had this medicinal pill, you could exchange for spirit stones with a Spiritual King Realm Cultivator.

“Okay, then we have agreed for the fourth-level Rejuvenation Pill.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng agreed.

“Seventh Junior Brother, I’m going to the sword practice room to practice my sword, do you want to join me?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Feng Hui inquired.

“I……”

“Go, I can do it by myself here. Go and practice your sword.” After taking the wooden barrel from his lover, Liu Mufeng smiled and told his lover to go practice.

“Oh, then I will go to practice swordsmanship, come back tonight, Mufeng.” Nodding, Jiang Xu glanced at his partner again before leaving with Feng Hui.

Half a month later, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu finally ushered in the first day of their lessons, the third day of the month. Liu Mufeng prepared the inscription stones early, and each took 10 inscription stones. Then they went to their own Master’s palace to listen to their Masters teach swordsmanship and alchemy.

Looking at the nine disciples who had arrived on time, the Third Elder Jiang Yuantu nodded in satisfaction. “Today, I am going to teach you about a sixth-level medicinal pill – the refining method of Pure Ice Pill. Xin’erand Qiao Yu, you must study carefully. The other disciples should also watch carefully, although you are still unable to refine the sixth-level medicinal pill, there is no harm in learning the technique of refining sixth-level medicinal pills in advance.”

“Yes, Master.” In response, everyone responded affirmatively.

Liu Mufeng couldn’t help feeling a little excited as he took out the inscription stone. He had started to learn alchemy at the age of thirteen, and he has relied on his own exploration and self-study to get to where he was today. Today was the first time he was seeing someone else refine pills, and the person who was teaching was an eighth-level alchemist, which was even more commendable.

Taking the sixth-level spiritual plants from his disciple Shen Xin, the Third Elder began to demonstrate the process of refining medicinal pills to his apprentices step by step. In order to let the disciples see clearly, he slowed down his speed a bit. This gave the disciples time to watch and learn.

For Liu Mufeng, it was still too early to learn the refining techniques of sixth-level medicinal pills. However, Liu Mufeng felt that it was good to record Master’s teaching and when he became a sixth-level alchemist, he could take out the inscription stone and watch and learn from it.

Soon, a batch of six medicinal pills was released from the furnace. Each medicinal pill had brilliant vibrancy, and three of the six pills were top grade pills. It could be seen how extraordinary the Third Elder’s alchemy skills were.

After collecting the six pills, the Third Elder handed the pills to Shen Xin. “Xin’er, Qiao Yu, have you two seen and understood?”

“This disciple has understood.” Nodding, the two answered affirmatively.

“Okay, Xin’er, come and refine the pill.” Looking at Shen Xin, the Third Elder commanded.

“Yes, Master.” In response, Shen Xin took out her own pill furnace and started refining the Pure Ice Pill.

Standing at the side, the Third Elder watched his disciple very carefully. This time, Liu Mu Feng did not use the inscription stone, but he also looked at his Senior Sister’s technique very seriously. Senior Sister was a sixth-level alchemist and had been studying with the Master for many years. She already had Master’s style in her techniques. Her hand movements were quick and her control of beast fire was very steady.

Staring at Shen Xin, Liu Mufeng looked attentively. He felt that he was really far behind this Senior Sister. Sure enough, there was a difference between having a Master’s guidance and self-study.
