Ch184 - Lin Yu Seeks Help

Edited by Zaki

Three months later…

With the Third Elder’s careful tutelage every day, and the increased practice every night in the bracelet dimension, Liu Mufeng’s alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds. This made the Third Elder very satisfied with Liu Mufeng as his disciple.

Under the patronage of the Master, the great God of Wealth, Liu Mufeng had earned a lot of spirit stones. From time to time, he would go to the trading area to buy some spiritual plants and sell some medicinal pills. However, the Wood Spirit Insects still continued to plant spiritual plants in their courtyard. Their yard was relatively remote, except for Feng Hui next door, who could occasionally see Wood Spirit Insects in the yard when he came back at night, other people basically didn’t pay attention to him here. Therefore, Liu Mufeng didn’t need to worry too much.

In the morning, he went to Master’s Palace to learn alchemy with his Master, and in the afternoon, he would go to the library to borrow books to read. At night he would go to the bracelet dimension to practice his alchemy. Liu Mufeng’s life was very stable and regular.

On this day, Liu Mufeng went to the trading area to buy the spiritual plants that were missing on hand. Walking in front of the small stalls, Liu Mufeng was picking the spiritual plants when four people approached and blocked Liu Mufeng’s way.

Raising his head to see who it was, Liu Mufeng raised his brows. It was none other than Dong Feipeng, Lin Yu, Ji Furong and Wang Jiang.

“Mufeng!” Seeing his Cousin, Wang Jiang called out, very happy.

“Fifth Brother, is it you?” After looking at the four of them, Liu Mufeng nodded.

“Mufeng, I heard that you are now a disciple of the Third Elder, congratulations!” Looking at his Cousin, Wang Jiang said enviously.

“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng didn’t say anything more.

“Senior Brother Liu, it’s great we met by chance. Let me be the host, let’s go have a drink.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Dong Feipeng smiled and issued an invitation.

“Thank you Junior Brother Dong for your kindness. No need for such politeness.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng rejected Dong Feipeng’s invitation and turned to look at Wang Jiang. “Fifth Brother, let’s go ahead for a walk.”

“Material area. What materials are you in charge of?” Looking at Wang Jiang, Liu Mufeng asked.

“Oh, I’m in charge of processing some materials for crafting and some materials for making runes. The work is still okay, not too hard.” Speaking of this, Wang Jiang smiled.

“Oh.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng didn’t ask any more questions.

“By the way, why are you alone? What aboutXiaoXu? He’s not with you?” Wang Jiang felt very strange when he didn’t see Jiang Xu.

“Oh,XiaoXu went to the Sword Intent Pagoda to understand the Sword Intent, and he won’t come out until a year later.”

“The Sword Intent Pagoda. Cousin, you are really capable. I heard that the Sword Intent Pagoda costs 5,000 spirit stones a month.” Thinking of the high price, Wang Jiang felt a deep pain.

“It’s okay.” Laughing, Liu Mufeng lowered his head and took a sip of tea. When he raised his head again, he saw Dong Feipeng, Ji Furong and Lin Yu had walked into the tea house and sat directly at their table.

“Senior Brother Liu, I’ve long wanted to invite you to a meal to thank you. This meal is on me.” Dong Feipeng ordered two more plates of spiritual fruit and snacks.

“Junior Brother Dong is polite, it was just a transaction, you don’t need to worry about it.” Laughing, Liu Mufeng said indifferently.

“Senior Brother Liu, I’ll invite you to dinner some other day.” Ji Furong said the same, looking at Liu Mufeng.

“Junior Sister Ji, doesn’t have to be polite.” Picking up the tea bowl, Liu Mufeng lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the cup. To be honest, it was a really awkward thing to sit and drink tea with a group of strangers that he didn’t know very well.

“Brother Liu, I’m Jiang Xu’s Cousin. My name is Lin Yu. My Cousin Lin Ran is in trouble, can you help him?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Lin Yu pleaded in a low voice.

At these words, Liu Mufeng frowned. It was actually the Lin family member.

“Yeah, Lin Ran is on the other side of Spirit Beast Peak. He was spotted by the Elder-in-charge’s son, and was forced to become a concubine. Senior Brother Liu, we have found a lot of people to help but haven’t been able to do anything about it. Can you help Lin Ran?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Dong Feipeng said the same.

“Senior Brother Liu, among the thirty-eight of us who came together, only you, Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Yang, the three of you have entered the inner door. Only you can help Lin Ran.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Ji Furong did the same.

At these words, Liu Mu Feng looked sideways at Wang Jiang. “Fifth Brother also thinks so?”

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s question, Wang Jiang hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, I came out to buy medicinal pills, not to find you. The three of them have a good relationship with Lin Ran, not me. I have nothing to do with Lin Ran.”

Looking at Wang Jiang who shook his head in denial, Liu Mufeng nodded. He turned his head to look at Lin Yu. “Lin Yu, what does the matter of your Lin family have to do with me? What does it matter to me whether Lin Ran lives or dies?”

“Senior Brother Liu, you can’t say things like that, no matter what, Jiang Xu is also our cousin.” Speaking of this, Lin Yu frowned deeply. He also knew that Liu Mufeng might not care about them, but he had no other way. Jiang Xu had gone to the Sword Intent Pagoda, and now the only one who could help Lin Ran was Liu Mufeng.

“Cousin? What a joke! WhenXiaoXu was eight years old, he and his Father went to celebrate your Grandfather’s birthday. As a result, he was kicked out of the door by your Lin family. WhenXiaoXu was thirteen years old, he was kicked out by the Jiang family. With the notoriety of a Dual who tried to steal his Cousin’s man, he was displaced and relied on earning a meagre income as a bounty hunter to support himself. At that time, did your Lin family worry about his life or death? Did you, Lin Yu, worry about him? Lin Ran is the treasure of your Lin family, but myXiaoXu was worthless? Since you didn’t take care ofXiaoXu back then, why should I take care of Lin Ran today?” Liu Mufeng sneered as he spoke of the old accounts.

“This, this ……” Dumbfounded by Liu Mufeng’s words, Lin Yu’s face was unusually ugly.

“Senior Brother Liu, I know that the Lin family has done a lot of wrong things, but Lin Ran is our Junior Brother after all, and everyone comes from the Lingwu Continent. It’s not easy for anyone, so please help Lin Ran for the sake of being fellow disciples.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Dong Feipeng hurriedly interceded.

“Impossible. WhenXiaoXu and I were suffering, the Eldest Young Masters and Young Misses of the Lin family were all pampered. Now, when they are suffering, you want me to help. What kind of reasoning is this? Our suffering was justified but the Lin family cannot suffer?”

“This…” Hearing Liu Mufeng say this, Dong Feipeng was speechless.

“Senior Brother Liu, you, how can you be like this? We are all fellow disciples, do you really want to see him die?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Ji Furong was very disappointed. She did not expect Liu Mufeng, the hero of their Lingwu Continent, to be so cold-blooded. He didn’t want to help them at all.

“Ji Furong, Miss Ji, you are the Eldest Lady of the Array City. While you were pampered and living a luxurious life, while you were enjoying the love of your parents, I, Liu Mufeng, and my partner Jiang Xu were calculating every day whether there are enough spirit stones to spend. You think I am being cold-blooded and not helping the people in need, then you can save Lin Ran yourself. You can take his position as the concubine. Maybe when the Elder-in-Charge’s son sees you, he will let go of Lin Ran?” Liu Mufeng said coldly, looking at Ji Furong.

“I, I…” Ji Furong’s face darkened immediately after hearing Liu Mufeng’s words.

“Don’t talk as if I, Liu Mufeng, owe you guys. I have a clear conscience and don’t owe any of you. Therefore, please don’t come to me again in the future. I am sorry to say that I have only been a member of the Lingwu Sect in the Lingwu Continent for three months and have no disciple relationship with you guys. Although we had a deal before, we are not friends. We are just strangers.” Looking at the three of them, Liu Mufeng said coldly.

Hearing this, Dong Feipeng and the other two people’s faces were very ugly. They did not expect that Liu Mufeng would speak so bluntly and so heartlessly.

Liu Mufeng took out three spirit stones and placed them on the table. “Fifth Brother and I will pay for the tea, and you can eat what you ordered.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng stood up and left.

“Mufeng.” Chasing after Liu Mufeng, Wang Jiang came out with him.

“Fifth Brother, what kind of medicinal pills do you want to buy?” Looking at Wang Jiang, Liu Mufeng asked.

“Oh, I want to buy some Poison-Cleansing Pills. Some of the ingredients we are handling are sometimes poisonous, so we discussed it and wanted to buy some Poison-Cleansing Pills to keep at hand in case of emergencies.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Wang Jiang responded.

“Oh, Poison-Cleansing Pills, I have some here, you can take it back.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng gave Wang Jiang two pill bottles, each with ten pills inside.

“Oh thank you. Mufeng, here are the spirit stones. See if they are enough. If there are not enough spirit stones, I will make up next month.” After speaking, Wang Jiang took out 700 spirit stones and handed them over to Liu Mufeng.

“Okay, these are enough. I’ll give you a 20% discount.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng handed a jade pendant to Wang Jiang. “This is my jade pendant. You can contact me if you have anything. However, Fifth Brother, you have to remember that I won’t care about the other cultivators in the Lingwu Continent. However, if something happens to the four of you, I will do my best to help you.”

“Eh, I know Mufeng.” Nodding, Wang Jiang immediately took the message jade pendant.
