Ch196 - Small Secret Realm of the Sect

Edited by Zaki

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went to the Spiritual Cultivation Tower and the Sword Intent Pagoda on the day the alchemy competition ended. The next day, the Third Elder notified the Elder in charge of the Material Area, and asked someone from there to directly take away the four Cousins. When Mufeng was leaving, he didn’t say who the person who betrayed him was, so the Third Elder simply didn’t let any of the four stay, and returned them to the Material Area.

However, it wasn’t until two months later, when the sect’s Five-yearly challenge had successfully completed did the Elder and Grandson of the Ma family come to know that Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu had already left for the Spiritual Cultivation Tower and Sword Intent Pagoda. This made both Grandfather and Grandson very upset.

“Didn’t you say that you had arranged spies beside Liu Mufeng? How come Liu Mufeng went to the Spiritual Cultivation Tower and we only came to know now?” Elder Ma asked gloomily, looking at his Grandson.

“I think it might have been discovered by Liu Mufeng. Those people have all been sent back to the material area.” Speaking of this, Ma Ming was also very depressed. Originally, he thought that with his spy, he would be able to know Liu Mufeng’s every move. And he would then use his authority to switch Liu Mufeng’s spiritual plants and use Zhang Hao and Song Mo to smoothly pull Liu Mufeng down, so that Liu Mufeng would lose the competition and be expelled from the Pill Peak by the Third Elder. But things backfired, Liu Mufeng cunningly found out about the change of the spiritual plants, and Grandfather also had to compensate the other party with 100,000 spirit stones. Song Mo, this scumbag, was totally useless, and he couldn’t win against Liu Mufeng, and Zhang Hao, an idiot, who was a fifth-level alchemist and a disciple of the Third Elder for more than ten years, but didn’t even know the refining process of a fourth-level medicinal pill. It was fucking stupid. What was originally a perfect plan turned out to be a complete failure.

What was even more irritating was that Liu Mufeng was a scheming bastard, and he actually ran away on the day the alchemy competition ended. He couldn’t even find a shadow of him. This bastard! Bastard!

“En, this kid Liu Mufeng has good insight, he is really not easy to deal with.” He had already suffered two losses in Liu Mufeng’s hands, and had also compensated a total of 200,000 spirit stones, making Elder Ma very unhappy. He was the Chief Elder of the Spiritual Plant Garden but he actually suffered losses in the hand of a boy who was just in the Spiritual King Realm. It was simply a great shame.

“Grandpa, why don’t I find someone to kill Liu Mufeng at the Spiritual Cultivation Tower and get the Treasure compass back, what do you think?” Having said that, Ma Ming’s eyes were full of ruthless killing intent.

At that, Elder Ma shook his head. “No, the Spiritual Cultivation Tower is Elder Tian’s territory. He and I have been at odds for quite a long time already. If Liu Mufeng died there, he would definitely tell the Third Elder that we did it. Besides, there are more than a thousand secret rooms in the Spiritual Cultivation Tower. Apart from Elder Tian himself, even the other Spiritual Cultivation Tower disciples wouldn’t know which secret room Liu Mufeng is in, even if you send someone over, it would be very difficult to find and kill Liu Mufeng in the Spiritual Cultivation Tower.”

“Then, what should I do? Should we just let Liu Mu Feng off the hook and give him the Treasure Compass?” Looking at his Grandfather, Ma Ming asked in disbelief. The compass was something his Grandfather had given to him after a lot of effort to get it. How could it be so easily given to others?

“Don’t be anxious, have you forgotten why I gave you the Treasure Compass?” Looking at his Grandson, Elder Ma asked with a smile.

“However, Liu Mufeng is an alchemist with little power, will the Third Elder let him go to the secret realm? What if he doesn’t go?” Thinking of this, Ma Ming was a little worried.

“Don’t worry, he will definitely go. Think about it. What is Liu Mufeng’s background? He is just a country bumpkin from a low-level continent. Someone like him would have never seen a lot of good opportunities. Will a person like that miss such a secret realm?” Elder Ma was very disdainful about the cultivators from these small places.

“Yes, yes, Grandpa is right, Liu Mufeng is just a bastard from a low-level continent. When he hears that the fourth-level small secret realm of our sect would be opened, for sure he would head straight in.” Nodding, Ma Ming also agreed with his Grandfather. Not to mention the cultivators from the low-level continent, even those cultivators from the middle-level continent, when they arrived at the Zunhuang Continent, weren’t they all turtles? If they saw an ordinary ten thousand year old spiritual plant, they would scream in shock. Then if they saw hundreds of thousands or millions of years old spiritual plants, they would be directly stunned silly, not believing their luck. Ma Ming had seen a lot of these kinds of ignorant turtles.

“Grandson, this Liu Mufeng is a scheming kid. Also, his partner Jiang Xu is a sword cultivator, so he is also not easy to deal with. You also go into seclusion for a while and consolidate your strength. Grandpa will go to the Eleventh Elder and the Twelfth Elder and find some helpers for you. In this way, when you get to the secret realm, you can get rid of Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu smoothly, and get the Treasure Compass back.” Looking at his Grandson, Elder Ma suggested.

“Okay, I’ll go into seclusion as soon as I’m ready. Grandpa, there is still a trump card in the Spiritual Plant Garden. If you can find a way to get him into the secret realm, he can help me kill Liu Mufeng.” Ma Ming said, looking at his Grandfather.

“You can rest assured. Grandpa has an idea in heart. Those who have problems with Liu Mu Feng and Jiang Xu, I will make sure all of them can go to the secret realm and let them help you kill Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu!” Looking at his Grandson, Elder Ma smiled and responded.

“Okay, I can rest assured if Grandpa arranges everything.” Nodding, Ma Ming agreed.

Two years later…

Sitting in the Palace, the Third Elder and Shen Xin were drinking tea.

“Counting the days, the Sixth Junior Brother should be leaving the Spiritual Cultivation Tower in another half month. It’s been two years in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast.” Speaking of this, Shen Xin smiled.

“Xin’er,what are the Elder and Grandson of the Ma family doing?” Looking at his woman, the Third Elder asked.

“Ma Ming is still in seclusion, and he won’t be out for a while. Elder Ma has been very calm and has been at Spiritual Plant Garden recently. However, I heard people say that some swordsmen and martial artists often go to the Spiritual Plant Garden. Besides, those people have the strength of the Spiritual King Realm.” Looking at her man Shen Xin explained.

Hearing this, the Third Elder pursed his lips. “This old guy must be plotting something.”

“Could it be the opening of the sect’s small secret realm a year later?” Looking at her Master, Shen Xin inquired. Hearing that there were sword cultivators and martial cultivators from the Spiritual King Realm going to the Spiritual Plant Garden, Shen Xin thought about it and felt that Elder Ma should be preparing for the opening of the small secret realm.

“En, this time we are going to open a small secret realm of the fourth level. Elder Ma may have gathered these people to protect his Grandson Ma Ming, but it could also be to kill Mufeng andXiaoXu.” Thinking up to this point, the Third Elder frowned.

“Master, there are many dangers in the small secret realm. It’s best not to let the Sixth Junior Brother go, so as not for him to encounter danger.” Shen Xin knew that her man was very fond of this apprentice. If Liu Mufeng died, Master would definitely be very sad.

At that, the wrinkles between the Third Elder’s eyebrows deepened. “If Mufeng knew about this, he would definitely go.” Mufeng was from a low-level continent, and he had no good training resources, even a few spirit stones. Therefore, Mufeng would not miss this secret realm.

“What is it that this disciple will definitely go, hmm?” Walking into the Palace, Liu Mufeng smiled and looked at the Third Elder and Shen Xin.

“Mufeng, you, why are you back early?” Seeing Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder and Shen Xin were slightly startled.

“Master, Senior Sister, I’m back.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng walked over to his Master and gave a deep salute.

“Why did you come back early?” Looking at his apprentice, the Third Elder asked in a puzzled manner.

“En, I came back early. I was afraid that Ma Ming would deal with me on the way, so I left the Spiritual Cultivation Tower early.” Liu Mufeng was worried that if he left on time, he would be caught by the Grandson and the Elder of the Ma family, so he made it a point to leave half a month early.

Hearing this, Shen Xin smiled. “Sixth Junior Brother, you are really astute.” He went to the Spiritual Cultivation Tower when the Ma family’s Elder and Grandson least expected, and came out when the Ma family’s Elder and Grandson least expected it. In front of the Sixth Junior Brother, the Ma Family Elder was like a clown being played easily.

“Senior Sister is over-praising me.” It wasn’t that he was too resourceful but that he was not as skilled as others. If he was a cultivator of the Spiritual Sect Realm, he could kill Elder Ma directly, why would he need to be so cautious and dodging?

“Mufeng, you came back just in time. Master has something to tell you, sit down.” Looking at his apprentice, the Third Elder responded.

“Yes, Master.” In response, Liu Mufeng sat on the chair beside the Third Elder.

“Mufeng, our sect has three small secret realms, one is level three, one is level four, and the other is level five. Although none of the levels are very high, however, every time they are opened, there will still be many disciples willing to go to the small secret realm to search for treasures and gain experience.” In fact, in the eyes of the Third Elder, these three secret realms were very low-level, and they were nothing at all.

“Small secret realm? Is there a secret realm to be opened?” Hearing this, Liu Mufeng’s attitude immediately became cautious.

“Yes, there is a level four secret realm that will open in a year.” Nodding, Shen Xin answered affirmatively.

“Fourth-level secret realm.” Hearing this, Liu Mufeng’s heart stirred. If he andXiaoXu could enter the secret realm, then it would be much easier for them to advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm.

“The fourth level secret realm of the sect is not really a separate realm as those other secret realms, it’s just that the spiritual energy within the barrier is a little bit denser than outside, there are more demon beasts, and there are a few spiritual flowers and spiritual plants.” Speaking of this, the Third Elder was very disdainful.

Seeing the Master’s indifferent look, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “Master, you are a cultivator of the Spiritual Venerable Realm, so naturally you despise this fourth-level secret realm and of no use for you. But this disciple is a cultivator of the Spiritual King Realm, and the fourth-level secret realm is just right for this disciple.”
