Ch180 - Rainy Night

The Sword Intent Pagoda was a seven-story tower. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu flew directly to the front of the pagoda, and they saw that there was a long table outside the door and behind the table sat two cultivators who were in the Spiritual King Realm, guarding the Sword Intent Pagoda.

“Two Senior Brothers.” Walking up, Liu Mufeng immediately greeted the two of them.

Looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, a short Spiritual King Realm cultivator, showed a kind smile. “Do the two Junior Brothers want to buy identity cards and enter the Sword Intent Pagoda?”

“Senior Brother, how much for the month card? How much for the year card?” Looking at the cultivator, Liu Mufeng asked.

“Oh, the month card is 5,000 spirit stones, and the year card is 50,000 spirit stones. Junior Brother, if you want to enter the Sword Intent Pagoda, you should buy the year card. The year card is more cost-effective.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Senior Brother in charge persuaded Liu Mufeng to buy the year card.

“Okay, give me a year card.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng took out 50,000 spirit stones and gave them to the other party.

“Mufeng!” Seeing that his lover had taken out all of the fifty thousand spirit stones, Jiang Xu frowned deeply.

“XiaoXu, the Sword Intent Pagoda can help a swordsman comprehend the more profound Sword Intent. It is very important to you. You must go.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng said solemnly.

The male protagonist, the third heroine, and the fourth heroine might appear at any time, so Liu Mufeng had to guard against them. Therefore, he thought about it for several days and planned to letXiaoXu go to the Sword Intent Pagoda first to improve his swordsmanship. WhenXiaoXu’s swordsmanship had improved, in the future, when he met the hero and several other heroines, he would also have the ability to protect himself. As for himself, he could use poison, spell curses, and other means to fight the enemy.

“But you have spent all the spirit stones on me, what would you do?” Jiang Xu knew that without spirit stones in this sect, it would be impossible to do anything. They were indeed very rich when they were in the Lingwu Continent, but two-thirds of the low-grade spirit stones they had got were thrown into the spiritual water lake, and the remaining third was used up by him and Mufeng during seclusion. When they arrived at the Zunhuang Continent, they were already poor beyond measure. If it wasn’t for Mufeng’s clever sale of information to earn some spirit stones, they probably wouldn’t even have the spirit stones to rent a house.

“I’m an alchemist, and it’s easy to earn a few spirit stones. You, don’t worry about me, and get to understand the Sword Intent.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took a waist card given by the person in-charge and handed it over to Jiang Xu.

“En, Mufeng, don’t worry, I will learn and understand the Sword Intent well.” Jiang Xu said with a serious face after taking the year card given to him by his lover. He had to study swordsmanship well, and he must not disappoint Mufeng.

“Alright, take care of yourself.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took ten bottles of Fasting Pills for his wife.

“En, I will!” Nodding, Jiang Xu took the Fasting Pills given by his lover and put it in his storage ring, then reluctantly walked into the gate of the Sword Intent Pagoda with his waist card.

“Junior Brother Wang, let’s go.” Looking at the other person, Zhang Hao smiled.

“Okay, okay let’s go.” Nodding, the two left together.

Seeing the two leave, Liu Mufeng didn’t think of anything else to do, so he also left the Sword Intent Pagoda.

———-

A few days later, Shen Xin, Qiao Yu, Lin Yu and Zhang Hao, the four Martial Brothers and Sisters, got together to discuss alchemy.

“Second Junior Brother, didn’t you go into seclusion to repair that ancient prescription? How is it going?” Looking at Qiao Yu, Shen Xin asked. Previously, Qiao Yu spent half a month in seclusion trying to repair the pill recipe, but he didn’t mention it after he left seclusion, making Shen Xin puzzled.

“Alas, I failed again!” Speaking of this, Qiao Yu sighed. He had seen the Sixth Junior Brother Liu Mufeng use poisonous weeds as a substitute ingredient for refining pills, so he also tried to use a few poisonous weeds, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

“Is that so?” Shen Xin also felt a little regretful after hearing this.

“That ancient prescription is really not easy to fix. Didn’t Master also say that the repair may not be possible?” Speaking of this, Lin Yu sighed lightly.

That ancient recipe was found by Shen Xin and the other three in a secret realm. After finding it, Qiao Yu was most interested in that pill recipe. The others were also very interested, but unfortunately, everyone spent a long time and tried many methods, but they were unable to restore the crippled prescription. They also showed it to the Third Elder to check, but the prescription contained eight kinds of very rare spiritual plants. The names of the three kinds of spiritual plants had already turned faint and could vaguely be read, and the Third Elder also said that there was no way to restore the pill recipe.

“Oh, since it can’t be recovered, let it go for a while. Second Senior Brother, you don’t have to work too hard.” Looking at Qiao Yu, Zhang Hao persuaded him.

“Hei, if Mufeng’s alchemy technique was a little higher, maybe I could ask him to help repair this alchemy recipe together.” Speaking of this, Qiao Yu sighed lightly. He could see that Liu Mufeng was an alchemy genius with innovative thinking. His mind could turn very fast and was very flexible. This kind of person was the most suitable to restore the pill recipe, but unfortunately Mufeng was only a fourth-level alchemist, and this pill recipe was a fifth-level pill recipe.

“Sixth Junior Brother? Second Senior Brother is really optimistic about Sixth Junior Brother.” Looking at his Senior Brother, Lin Yu said strangely.

“Oh, Liu Mufeng is nothing special. He is just a country bumpkin from a low-level continent. He is so poor that he grows his own spiritual plants to practice alchemy. He actually sent his wife to the Sword Intent Pagoda. I really don’t know where the spirit stones he paid for the entrance to the pagoda came from. I don’t know if it was stolen or not.” Zhang Hao disliked Liu Mufeng very much.

“Fifth Junior Brother, don’t say that. Although Mufeng is not a cultivator from our revered Zunhuang Continent, the fact that he cou;d grow up step by step in the lower continent, is already a feat to be admired, and it is already very good for him to come to our Zunhuang Continent.” Looking at his Junior Brother, Qiao Yu retorted.

“I also think the qualifications of the Sixth Junior Brother are very average. He can’t even refine the fourth-level Spirit Beast Pill.” Lin Yu also disliked Liu Mufeng. A poor person who washed his spiritual roots with insects, thinking about it, she felt ashamed to be in the same sect family as such a person.

“You can’t really say that! Maybe Mufeng doesn’t even have much Alchemy Technique inheritances.”

“Fifth Junior Brother, you said that Sixth Junior Brother sent his partner Jiang Xu to the Sword Intent Pagoda, how did you know?” Looking at Zhang Hao, Shen Xin asked seriously.

“Oh, I went to the Sword Intent Pagoda to have dinner with my friend and saw him. I heard from my friend that Liu Mufeng actually spent fifty thousand spirit stones to buy a year card for his partner and let him go and learn in the Sword Intent Pagoda. I don’t know where the spirit stones came from.” Speaking of this, Zhang Hao snorted lightly.

Shen Xin couldn’t help frowning at that.Could it be the same fifty thousand spirit stones that Master had given to Liu Mufeng? How could Liu Mufeng do this? Is he worthy of the Master? How could he do this?

At night, the Third Elder, Jiang Yuantu was sitting in his bedroom cultivating. Suddenly, a streak of lightning flashed across the sky, and the sound of thunder followed.

He immediately opened his eyes, swept the surroundings with his soul power, and found that it was already pouring outside the window. Getting up, his figure directly disappeared from his room.

In a moment’s time, the Third Elder arrived in Shen Xin’s bedroom.

Looking at Shen Xin who was sitting on the bed and crying while hugging the quilt, the Third Elder hurried over and took the woman on the bed into his arms.

“Master, Master…” Seeing the figure of the Third Elder, Shen Xin held the man’s waist tightly with a pale face, and pressed herself tightly into the man’s arms.

“Xin‘er, don’t be afraid, I’m right here, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.” Stroking his lover’s back, the Third Elder whispered soothingly in Shen Xin’s ear.

When Xin‘erwas five years old, her parents and the entire village were slaughtered by a group of demonic cultivators, and she was the only one who survived. That night was also a night of thunderstorms. For a five-year-old girl, it was a very terrifying night. All 138 people in the village fell into a pool of blood overnight. Only the playful girl who had lost her way in the reeds and had returned home in the middle of the night had survived the terror. Because of this, she saw corpses all over the ground and her parents who had died in a pool of blood. A terrifying shadow was left in her heart. As a result, whenever she encountered rainy nights, she would be particularly frightened and would unconsciously think about those things that happened back then.

When she was a child, her heart was like this. Whenever it rained, she would hide under the quilt and shiver, crying until dawn and crying until the rain stopped. At that time, Jiang Yuantu was very incomprehensible. He always felt that Shen Xin was too timid, and it was too annoying to cry. It wasn’t until later when Xuanyuan Chen told him about Shen Xin’s physical condition that he realized that it was because of what happened to her when she was a child that Shen Xin had this problem.

Seeing the woman trembling in his arms, Jiang Yuantu was very distressed. He had tried many ways to help Xin‘erget rid of this nightmare, and even ran around to kill Xin‘er’senemies, but it was useless to erase the memory from her heart. It has already become a scar in her heart forever.

“Xin‘er,don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.” Sticking close to his lover’s ear, Jiang Yuantu comforted her over and over again, hugging the trembling body in his arms tightly.

It rained all night and didn’t stop until dawn. Seeing his lover’s swollen eyes from crying, Jiang Yuantu rubbed his lover’s face in distress. “Lie down and sleep for a while.”

“Master, don’t go, don’t leave me alone.” Holding the man in front of her, Shen Xin didn’t let go.

“I am not leaving. You can let me go, I’m right by your side.” Jiang Yuantu tried to pull her hands away from his waist, but he found that Shen Xin’s hands were very tightly clasped, and she didn’t want to let go at all.

“No, no!” She looked at the man she loved anxiously, shook her head and didn’t let go of her hold on him.

“Okay, then hold me if you want.” With his arms around Shen Xin’s shoulder, Jiang Yuantu accompanied her to lie on the bed.

Rubbing against the man’s arms, Shen Xin quickly fell asleep contentedly.
