Ch176 - Spirit Beast Pill

In the afternoon, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu both returned to their courtyard.

“XiaoXu, how did your class go today?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“It was alright, Master’s swordsmanship is really good, but the speed of Master’s sword is too fast, I’m dazzled!” Jiang Xu smiled helplessly.

“Didn’t you record it with the inscription stone?” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

“Yes, I recorded it, we can watch it together at home.” Jiang Xu took out his own inscription stone to show Liu Mufeng.

Seeing the First Elder wielding his long sword in the picture, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help the twitching of his eyes. “This, this is too fast, right? In a blink of an eye, several sword moves have been executed.”

“No, it’s not several moves, it was totally sixteen sword moves, which left sixteen marks on the sword practice stone. Master said, this is called the unparalleled swordsmanship. There are only sixteen moves. But I didn’t even learn a single move.” Saying this, Jiang Xu sighed in disappointment.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng took his lover’s hand. “XiaoXu, don’t be in a hurry to learn. You can do it slowly, your Master was executing the moves too fast, you can see that it was not easy for him to execute the sixteen sword moves.”

“En!” Nodding, Jiang Xu also understood that he couldn’t learn it in a day. His Master was in the Spiritual Venerable Realm, and he was in the Spiritual King Realm, which was a four-level difference. Naturally, there was a big difference in skills.

“Let me show you my Master’s alchemy recording.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took out an inscription stone to show his wife his Master’s alchemy skills.

Jiang Xu smiled when he saw a handsome middle-aged man in a white robe skillfully refining pills in front of the pill furnace. “Mufeng, your Master is so handsome, he doesn’t look old at all, he looks like he’s just in his forties.”

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Actually, your Master also may not necessarily be very old, and he might also be in disguise. He might be actually quite young.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu was stunned. “Is that so? Why does he have to disguise himself to be old when he is young?”

“In order to be more majestic! Just remember that the Zunhuang Continent is a high-level continent. The cultivators in this place are usually promoted to the Spirit King Realm at the age of 100. Once the cultivators advance to the Spiritual King Realm, their appearance will not show signs of aging again. The two of us are in our early forties now, so do you think how many cultivators in this higher continent are old men?” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu nodded in agreement. “En, that’s true. Maybe my Master is younger than your Master”

“Yes, Master taught very meticulously. He first demonstrated it to us, and then asked Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother to refine the pill as well. When he saw where they were making mistakes, he taught them hands-on. When the two of them learned it, he let us leave.”

“So that’s it. Then your Master is really good.” Jiang Xu felt very good after hearing the hands-on teaching.

“En, although Master looked cold, he was very serious about teaching alchemy.” Liu Mufeng had not expected this.

“When he was choosing apprentices, I saw your Master’s cold face, not even a smile. I was worried for you. I didn’t expect him to treat his disciples so seriously.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng looked a little excited.

“Are you happy?” Jiang Xu asked with a smile, looking at his lover’s smiling face.

“En, I was very excited to see an eighth-level alchemist refining pills for the first time. And I also benefited a lot. I can learn a lot of things from Master that are not in the alchemy inheritances that are in my possession and those alchemy books that I have read. It is really different to have a Master instructing you.” At this moment, Liu Mufeng finally understood why there were so few alchemists in Lingwu Continent. To be honest, if he didn’t have the bracelet dimension, if he didn’t have a lot of spiritual plants for him to practice his hands, it was really hard to say whether he could become a fourth-level alchemist by just reading the alchemy books alone to teach himself.

———-

On the first day, Third Elder taught the sixth-level medicinal pill, the second day was the fifth-level medicinal pill, and on the third day it was finally the fourth-level medicinal pills’ turn.

Standing in front of the disciples, the eyes of the Third Elder swept across Liu Mufeng and the other three new disciples. “Mufeng, Ye Qian, Ye Fan, and Xiaoxiao, the four of you are newcomers, and Master doesn’t know much about your situation. I don’t know what kind of medicinal pills you want to learn to refine by yourself. So you tell me what kind of pills you want to learn to refine, or what problems do you have on refining pills that need to be answered by your Master?”

“This…” Hearing this, Ye Qian, Ye Fan, and Helian Xiaoxiao glanced at each other. They didn’t expect their Master to ask such a question.

“Master, this disciple wants to learn to refine the fourth-level Spirit Beast Pill.” Liu Mufeng was the first to express his thoughts. The Spirit Beast Pill, Liu Mufeng had tried refining it several times before, but failed to refine it.

“Spirit Beast Pill? This is a medicinal pill to purify the blood of demon beasts. Do you want to feed your contracted demon beast with this medicinal pill?” Having said that, the Third Elder glanced at the three animal raising bags on Liu Mufeng’s waist and thought to himself:This disciple has quite a few beast pets!

“Yes, Master, the bloodline of this disciple’s beast pet is low, and he has already given the Blood Cleansing Pill and Blood Purifying Pill before. The third-level medicinal pills are not effective anymore. Therefore, this disciple wants to learn to refine the fourth-level Spirit Beast Pill.”

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the Third Elder frowned. Inwardly thinking:What kind of demon beast is this Mufeng raising? Just by giving those two kinds of pills to a second-level demon beast, the blood should have already been purified? There are obviously many high-level demon beasts, why should he keep a group of low-level demon beasts?

“Sixth Junior Brother, your demon beast should have started to increase their bloodline from the second level. If their bloodline level is so low, why don’t you replace your demon beast as soon as possible?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Zhang Hao said with a look of contempt. He couldn’t help thinking:This hillbilly from a small place, I don’t know what the hell he raised, the bloodline is so low.

“Fifth Senior Brother is joking. My beast pets changed the fate of my life. They have made great contributions to me. How can I abandon them?” How could Liu Mufeng be willing to abandon Xiaoyuan and the others?

“Oh? Junior Brother is so emphatic, I’m curious. I don’t know what kind of demon beast pet the Sixth Junior Brother keeps?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Third Senior Brother Gong Rui asked with a smile.

“Yes, Sixth Junior Brother, let everyone see your pets.” With a smile, Zhang Hao said the same.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled lightly and looked at his Master.

“What kind of demon beast pet is worth your painstaking effort?” The Third Elder was also a little curious about this.

“It’s just a few insects.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng patted the animal raising bag on his waist and released two Golden Spirit Insects with Spiritual Master Realm cultivation.

“Oh? This is it?” Seeing the insects flying around Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder couldn’t help but raise his brows.

“It’s the Primordial Spirit Insects whose bloodline has been purified. These two insects have returned to their ancestral bloodlines with a trace of the Golden Spirit Insect’s bloodline.” Because Liu Mufeng’s Spirit Insects had returned to its ancestor’s bloodline, it had completely changed its appearance. This time their appearance was very different. If Liu Mufeng didn’t say it himself, it would be difficult for anyone to recognize that this was a Primordial Spirit Insect.

“Primordial Spirit Insect?” The Third Elder raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

“Isn’t it the commonly known waste bug?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Fourth Senior Brother, Lin Yu asked with a strange expression.

“Exactly!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng admitted generously.

“Sixth Junior Brother, you are so interesting, you actually keep waste bugs!” ‘This country-bumpkin! Are there no beast pets in the low-level continents? That’s why he has to raise a bunch of waste bugs that don’t have any value!’

Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Third Senior Brother, Gong Rui smiled. “Sixth Junior Brother is really smart and has long fortune. No wonder, you have worked so hard for these insects.”

“Third Senior Brother is over praising me.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng knew that Gong Rui had already guessed his situation.

“Third Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? Why can’t I understand?” Looking at Gong Rui, Zhang Hao asked in a puzzled manner.

“The resources of the middle continent and the lower continent are relatively poor. Unlike the Zunhuang Continent where you can buy Spirit Purification Pills casually. Everyone is either an innate single spiritual root or an acquired single spiritual root here since they are young. In our place, if you want to buy a Spirit Purification Pill, you have to go to the auction houses to be able to buy it. However there are ancient methods recorded in the ancient books. One could cleanse their spiritual roots by letting the Five Elements Spirit Insects eat the spiritual roots.” Speaking of this, Gong Rui looked at Liu Mufeng.

“Eating one’s spiritual roots with bugs?” Shen Xin, Qiao Yu, Lin Yu and Zhang Hao were all shocked when they heard this. All four of them were native cultivators in the revered Zunhuang Continent, and they had never worried about their aptitudes since they were children. If it was a double-spiritual root or a triple-spiritual root, during the spiritual roots examination that happened when they were 5 years old, the parents would directly buy them a cleansing pill to take. Therefore, it was absolutely unimaginable for such a pampered cultivator, the pain of being a multi-roots cultivator, and it was even more unimaginable that someone would let an insect eat their spiritual roots.

“Mufeng.” Looking at his apprentice, the Third Elder called out softly. As a local cultivator in the Zunhuang Continent, and as an alchemist, he never thought that other continents would be so short of spiritual cleansing pills that they would need to use Spirit Insects to wash their spiritual roots.

“Master, this disciple is originally a five-spiritual root, and it is because he contracted with the Primordial Spirit Insects that he became an acquired single-spiritual root. Therefore, this disciple will never abandon his beast pet.” Looking at his Master, Liu Mufeng told the truth.

“You, you could have used a cleansing pill.”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly, “Master, there are no cleansing pills in the lower continents, not even in the auctions.”

At that, the Third Elder frowned. Yes, Gong Rui was from the Middle Continent. But Mufeng came from a low-level continent. The level of the continent was different, and the conditions were naturally different. “Okay, I will teach you to refine the fourth-level Spirit Beast Pill today.”

“Thank you, Master!” Bowing his head, Liu Mufeng hurriedly thanked him.
