Ch183 - Resolved the Differences

Edited by Zaki

Looking at Liu Mufeng and his sad lover beside him, the Third Elder sighed. “Just because Jiang Xu was kind to you, you gave him the spirit stones?”

“No Master, it’s not like that at all. The reason why I used the spirit stones you gave to sendXiaoXu to the Sword Intent Pagoda, was because this disciple has an enemy in the Zunhuang Continent, and this enemy is very powerful. The disciple is an alchemist and cannot fight, so, I letXiaoXu go to the Sword Intent Pagoda to learn the way of the sword, in order to have a little more ability to protect ourselves, and not lose our lives in the hands of the enemy.” Looking at his Master, Liu Mufeng told the truth.

“An enemy?” The Third Elder had not imagined such a scenario.

“Sixth Junior Brother, aren’t you a cultivator from another continent? Why is your enemy in the Zunhuang Continent? Could it be someone who entered the sect with you?” Shen Xin was very puzzled about this.

“No Senior Sister, this person is not in the sect. This person is very lucky. Four years ago, he touched a totem in the Lingwu Continent and came to the Zunhuang Continent. I checked the books in the Book Collection Pavilion and the totem that he and his sister touched was the totem of the Imperial Clan. So, this person should have already honored the Emperor now.” Speaking of the male protagonist, Liu Mufeng frowned, wondering what situation the male protagonist was in now?

“What’s the name?” Staring at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder asked.

“My enemy is called Xiao Zhantian. He came to the Zunhuang Continent with his sister, his sister’s name is Xiao Qing’er.” Looking at his Master, Liu Mufeng did not hide the matter.

“What is the reason for the enmity?” The Third Elder asked again.

“When I was nineteen, I went to a secret realm to find opportunities with my partner Jiang Xu. We found a Golden Jade Lotus in the secret realm, and Xiao Zhantian and his partner, Meng Shishi also wanted that Golden Jade Lotus. Meng Shishi attacked me from behind and injured me badly.XiaoXu got very angry and killed Meng Shishi. Xiao Zhantian couldn’t beat us, so he threw numerous magic talismans, injured us and escaped. Afterwards,XiaoXu and I were able to escape to the Middle Continent. We got some opportunities in the Middle Continent to advance to the Spiritual King Realm before returning to our hometown. Right after that, Meng Shishi’s Grandfather and Xiao Zhantian’s Grandfather came to find me andXiaoXu to seek revenge, and died in our hands.” Looking at the Third Elder, Liu Mufeng narrated the events truthfully.

“Just, just for a Golden Jade Lotus?” Shen Xin’s face was a little strange when she heard that the reason was for this. She couldn’t help thinking to herself:This Golden Jade Lotus was not a good thing, was it? As long as there were spirit stones, you could buy innumerable numbers in the Zunhuang Continent?

Looking at Shen Xin’s face, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “Senior Sister, you are a native cultivator from the Zunhuang Continent. You don’t know that my continent is very poor in resources, there is nothing good, so when there are opportunities, the competition for resources is very fierce.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Nodding, Shen Xin expressed her understanding.

Looking at Liu Mufeng who was still kneeling on the ground, the Third Elder waved his hand. “Get up.”

“Master, have you forgiven this disciple?” Looking at the Third Elder, Liu Mufeng asked in a low voice.

“Yes, Master.” In response, Liu Mufeng immediately responded. He could see that the Master didn’t say anything but he should have forgiven him.

“Hey, kid, quickly hand over your spiritual treasures, do you still want to learn alchemy? If you want to learn it, hurry up and take it out.” Again flying out from the Third Elder’s sea of consciousness, Qinghu eyed Liu Mufeng

“What are you talking about, come back!” Looking at the Qinghu who ran out to make trouble again, the Third Elder had a headache.

“Lord Qinghu, I wonder if this is what you want?” Saying this, Liu Mufeng took out a special brocade box, opened it and placed it on the table.

“This, this is…” Looking at the ten leaves encased in spiritual flames in the brocade box, the Third Elder and Shen Xin beside him were very shocked.

“Yes, the leaves of the Flaming Cloud Tree?” Looking at the leaves, Shen Xin exclaimed in shock.

“I don’t know what it is. When I refined the Flower Fire with this flame, I found that my Beast Fire liked it very much and was very fond of eating it.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Where did you get it?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder asked cautiously.

“Oh, I got it from an enemy when I was in the Middle Continent.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly.

The Third Elder nodded at that. A treasure from the enemy’s hand was usually obtained by killing them. It was not a very honourable way, but it was also the most common situation.

Qinghu opened his mouth and inhaled and sucked all the flames from the ten leaves into his stomach and then burped out. Then Qinghu looked at Liu Mufeng. “Is there any more? Don’t hide and hand them over. Otherwise, you will be burned to death.”

“Lord Qinghu, that’s all I have here. There’s no more.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng answered negatively.

“I don’t believe it, bring me your storage ring and let me see it.”

“Go back. You’re already full, what nonsense are you spouting?” After speaking, the Third Elder directly put the Tiger into his sea of consciousness.

Looking at the leaves in the box that had lost their flames, and then at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder closed the box and pushed it back. “Take it back, these are the leaves of the Flaming Cloud Tree, which contain the power of spiritual flame. Go back and put some spirit stones in the box, and in a few days, the flame will reappear on the leaves.”

“Master, since Lord Qinghu likes it, these leaves should stay by your side. This disciple only has a common Beast Fire, but Master has a Mystic Fire. Naturally, these leaves would be good things to leave for Lord Qinghu.” Looking at the Third Elder, Liu Mufeng suggested.

“En, now you are talking sense. As an apprentice, you should respect the teacher and give all the good things to the Master.” Appearing again, Qinghu looked at Liu Mufeng with satisfaction.

“Lord Qinghu said yes.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng smiled at the Tiger.

“Go back, don’t come out again. If you come out again, I’ll throw you into the cage.” Looking at Qinghu, the Third Elder threatened in a cold voice.

“Ah!” In response, Qinghu reluctantly went back.

After thinking about it, the Third Elder took out another 100,000 spirit stones. “Mufeng, take back these spirit stones and these leaves. Master knows that you don’t have spirit stones now.”

“No, this disciple does not want the Master’s spirit stones, and giving the leaves is showing filial piety to the Master. This disciple’s strength is not high. If these leaves are really a good thing, if they remain in my hands, it will definitely cause me death. Besides, this disciple’s Beast Fire is not worth using such a good spiritual treasure. What do you think?”

Hearing this, the Third Elder frowned. “That’s true. If this thing stays on you, I’m afraid it will cause your death.”

“Master, how about this. You can keep these leaves. You have enough spirit stones to support these leaves, and the power of the flame will be stronger in your hands. There would be even enough flame to absorb twice a month. In the future, wouldn’t it be enough for you and Sixth Junior Brother’s Beast Fires to each absorb once?” With a smile, Shen Xin gave such a suggestion.

At Shen Xin’s words, the Third Elder nodded. “En, that’s fine, just leave it here and I’ll keep it. Mufeng, you don’t have to worry. When the next time the power of the flame is full, you can let your Beast Fire absorb it.”

“Master, this, this is inappropriate, right?” Liu Mufeng had a whole Flaming Cloud Tree, how could he care about these ten leaves? Originally, he planned to use this to please the Master and get his forgiveness, but he didn’t expect the situation to turn this way wherein his Master was asking him to also absorb the flames once a month from these leaves.

“There is nothing inappropriate, it’s settled.The leaves will be kept with me, and you can take the spirit stones back to buy more spiritual plants and refine alchemy well. Don’t be half-hearted all day long by planting spiritual plants, refining flames, and making tea for snacks. How can you achieve anything in Alchemy if you are wasting time day by day?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder couldn’t help but blame him.

“Yes, Master’s teachings, this disciple will keep in mind.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng responded affirmatively. He thought to himself:Master really thinks too much. He really didn’t waste his time. He was refining pills ten times as long, and he was much more diligent than ordinary people.

Looking at Liu Mufeng’s repentant face, the Third Elder snorted coldly. “Hmph, You speak well, always saying you will keep things in mind. But the moment you step out, you forget everything. How about this, from now on you come to my place every morning to refine pills”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bent over and knelt down. “Thank you, Master.” He actually got backdoor access. He didn’t expect such a good thing to happen!

“Okay, go back and rest for now, and come back tomorrow morning.” With a wave of his hand, the Third Elder motioned for Liu Mufeng to leave.

“Yes Master.” In response, Liu Mufeng respectfully left the Palace.

Seeing Liu Mufeng leave, the Third Elder couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, a touch of softness could be seen on his face.

“Master is planning to teach Mufeng alchemy every day?” Looking at her man, Shen Xin asked.

“En, he is not a cultivator from the Zunhuang Continent, and his foundation is far less stable than that of the other people, so he needs to be taught with more effort.” Nodding, the Third Elder said so.

Shen Xin nodded. “Master was moved by the sincerity of Sixth Junior Brother?”

“En, you can also say that. Bringing refreshments, Flower Fires, and leaves of Flaming Cloud Tree are only second reasons. The main thing is that I didn’t expect that he would be straightforward and honest about his life and confess that he has enemies and all these things. You can see that he still trusts and respects me.” The Third Elder was very satisfied with this point.

“Yes, I also didn’t expect him to talk about his life, and even more so, there are actually people who are even more miserable than me.” Speaking of this, Shen Xin couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for Liu Mufeng.

“He used the relationship of a Father and Son to get along and compare my relationship with him as a teacher and disciple. Although there was some intention to please, it was still very comfortable to listen to. I have to say, Fatty Qian really has a unique eye. Like Fatty Qian, you know he’s flattering you with some words, but you can’t pick out any wrong in them, and they sound very pleasing to the ears.”

Shen Xin smiled. “It is also a skill to be able to observe words and expressions, and know what to say to each and every person. Come to think of it, this skill should have been developed by the Sixth Junior Brother in that home where he had no family and only felt alienation and coldness.”

“En, there is such a possibility, his life experience is really bad.” Speaking of this, the Third Elder couldn’t help but feel a little more pity and sympathy for his apprentice. In fact, Jiang Yuantu was also an orphan. He was raised by his Master without a Father or Mother since childhood. Hearing Liu Mufeng talking about his life experience, Jiang Yuantu was also deeply touched.
