Ch203 - The Secret of the Black Box

Raising his hand, Liu Mufeng threw out three ropes. These three ropes were all fourth-level magic weapons. Although they were unremarkable, they were all magic tools that Xiaoyuan had spat out, and they were very useful.

Seeing Liu Mufeng attack again, Cao Hong instinctively wanted to fly away to dodge, but he was surprised to find that he couldn’t move.How could this be? How could it be possible? How could Liu Mufeng, a cultivator in the Spiritual King Realm, suppress himself to that extent that he could not move?Thinking of this, Cao Hong was very shocked.

Directly trapping Cao Hong on a tree beside him with a rope, Liu Mufeng walked over and looked at Cao Hong who was tied to the tree motionless. “Cao Hong, your dirty eyes have set sight on my partner, it really makes me sick.” With that said, the dagger in Liu Mufeng’s hand slashed directly, and Cao Hong screamed, feeling a sharp pain in his eyes.

“Liu Mufeng, you dare to be so bold!”

“Hmph! What do I need to be afraid of?” Saying this, Liu Mufeng stabbed Cao Hong’s crotch with another stab of the knife.

“Ah, ahhhh…!” With a scream that sounded like a pig being killed, blood dripped from Cao Hong’s pants.

Putting away the dagger, Liu Mufeng took out three bottles of demon beast powder and sprinkled it directly on Cao Hong. Liu Mufeng knew that someone like Cao Hong must have blood marks on his body, and he must never kill him himself.

After spreading the demon beast powder, Liu Mufeng looked at his lover and found thatXiaoXu had already dealt with the other four people and was cleaning up the battlefield. Liu Mufeng immediately walked over to help his lover clean up.

After cleaning up and burning the bodies of the four people, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu by the waist and flew directly to a branch that was about 100 meters away, and affixed a spiritual talisman that concealed their auras. The two of them stood on the tree and waited.

After about a stick of incense time, a demon beast that was a six-star in the Spiritual King Realm was attracted by the scent of the powder. At this moment, Cao Hong, who was incapacitated by the paralysing solution, was unable to move and screamed in pain, and he had no resistance at all.

“No, don’t come here, don’t come here…” Cao Hong screamed out when he felt the demon beast approaching.

Accompanied by a heart-piercing scream, a red mark flew onto the demon beast as Cao Hong was eaten alive.

Looking at the retreating back of the demon beast who had eaten a full meal and was now leaving satisfied, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but twitch his lips. “Mufeng, you are so smart.”

Hearing his lover’s praise, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “Ei, we now have another enemy, that Elder Cao is in the Spiritual Sect Realm.”

“XiaoXu, you have to remember that when dealing with second-generation cultivators, you must not kill them yourself. First, you have to let Stealth Cat take their storage items to prevent them from using the Elder’s token against you. Second, you can use paralysing liquid and potion to control them and tie them up, and third, use demon beast powder so that they are eaten by demon beasts.” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng explained patiently.

“En, I understand. If I meet a pervert second-generation cultivator in the future, I will do as you say.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“It should be ahead.” Taking out the Treasure Compass and looking at it, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu to continue walking.

“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Xu could only follow Liu Mufeng and continue to walk forward. On the way, he encountered spiritual plants and spiritual flowers, and he helped his partner pick them.

The two walked for another day, until in the evening, they came to a lake. This lake was very large, the water was turquoise in colour, and there were many green grasses growing around the lake. In the shallow part of the lake, floating water plants and lilies could be seen faintly. But at the centre of the lake, the depth could not be gauged by naked eye.

Looking at the lake in front of him, Liu Mufeng raised the corner of his mouth, he released his soul power and probed into the lake. He found that the center of the lake was very deep, and was about ten meters deep. He took out the Treasure Compass again and finally determined the location, and what he was looking for was in the center of the lake. “It’s here,XiaoXu. Let’s rest by the river bank tonight and search the lake to find the treasure tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed. It was just one night anyway.

The husband and wife set up a tent by the lake, sat in front of the tent and had dinner together while chatting.

“XiaoXu, this is for you.” Liu Mufeng took out a jade token and handed it to Jiang Xu.

Seeing the jade plaque, Jiang Xu was stunned. “Jade plaque? Did it belong to Cao Hong?”

“Yes, it is Elder Cao’s jade plaque, the plaque of a Spiritual Sect Realm, you should take it for self-defense.” Fortunately, the Stealth Cat stole Cao Hong’s storage ring in advance, otherwise, he andXiaoXu would definitely not be Cao Hong’s opponents.

“No need, I have the Third Elder’s jade plaque/pendant on me, you can keep this for yourself.” Jiang Xu knew that this jade plaque would be a great help for them, a jade plaque of the Spiritual Sect Realm cultivator could be used to deal with the Spiritual Profound Realm and the Spiritual Emperor Realm cultivators. All of them could be killed in one stroke.

“No, you keep it. If I find some opportunities this time, I want to go into seclusion to raise my strength. If you meet Ma Ming while I’m in seclusion, it will be very troublesome, so after I go into seclusion, you better stay low. In addition, I will let the five Spirit Insects stay with you. I will also hand you the Wisteria Vine and various poison antidotes for you.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng said in a worried manner.

“Oh, I see.” Jiang Xu nodded and took the jade plaque. “Mufeng, do you know what the spiritual treasure in the lake is?”

Liu Mufeng shook his head. “This Treasure Compass can’t feel what kind of spiritual treasure it is, you can only find out once you have it. However, judging from the brightness of the compass’s light beam, the level of this spiritual treasure is not low.” The brightness of the compass needle represented the level of the spiritual treasure.

“Oh, that’s it.” Jiang Xu was looking forward to the spiritual treasure after hearing his lover’s words.

“XiaoXu, after I go into seclusion, you must be very careful when you use this Treasure Compass, don’t take it out casually, and don’t let people find it. You understand?” Liu Mufeng said worriedly.

“En, I understand, don’t worry.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding. Of course he knew the importance of the Treasure Compass, and he also knew that the Treasure Compass was what Ma Ming had been biting at Mufeng for. Therefore, he would definitely protect it.

“En.” Liu Mufeng smiled and kissed his beloved’s forehead. “Let’s try to find more opportunities. After ten years, we will leave the secret realm and return to the sect, and you can go into seclusion and advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm.” With the Treasure Compass in hand, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu could find more opportunities. It would not be that difficult to advance next time.

“I’m not in a hurry, I’d better find more opportunities for you to improve your strength first.” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu said with a smile.

“You!” Raising his hand, Liu Mufeng rubbed his wife’s head dotingly.

“Mufeng, Xiaoyue told me that the things in the black box can make me advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm, but I need to find the key.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu mentioned this matter.

“The key? Where is the key? What’s in the black box? Does Xiaoyue know?” Looking at his partner, Liu Mufeng asked earnestly.

“It doesn’t know what the key is, but it says that in this secret realm. It can faintly feel the breath of the key. As for the things in the box, it says it’s a good thing, like a wisp of spiritual energy.” Jiang Xu told Mu Feng what he knew.

“Energy? Could it be Immortal energy?” Ordinary energy could not help people advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm, so Liu Mufeng guessed that it should be Immortal energy.

“It’s not Immortal energy, it’s Immortal spiritual energy, which is a bit worse than immortal energy.”The Stealth Cat came out of the animal raising bag and landed on the table.

“Oh, Xiaoyue said it was the Immortal spiritual energy, which was a little worse than the immortal energy.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu hurriedly explained.

“Immortal spiritual energy is a good thing. When we get the things in the lake, we’ll look for the key. With this Immortal spiritual energy, you will have no problem advancing to the Spiritual Emperor Realm.” Liu Mufeng was very happy when he said this.

“Idiot, you actually told your man this kind of treasure, are you not afraid of him killing you and stealing the treasures and taking away the spiritual energy himself?”Looking at Jiang Xu, the Stealth Cat had a look of contempt.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu frowned in dissatisfaction. “Mufeng is not that kind of person.”

“You’re really stupid and hopeless, how could I have a master like you!”Looking at Jiang Xu, the Stealth Cat said with a sullen face.

“If you say bad things about Mufeng again, believe it or not, I’ll beat you.” Staring at the Stealth Cat, Jiang Xu waved his fist.

Hearing this, the Stealth Cat took a grilled fish from the plate in a depressed manner, and ate it helplessly on the side, no longer paying attention to Jiang Xu, this careless owner. There was no way currently, it was now the seven stars in the Spiritual King Realm, and its owner was in the nine stars of the Spiritual King Realm. It couldn’t beat him, and the owner could use the contract to end its life, so it could only eat the fish angrily.

Seeing the interaction between the Master and the contract beast, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. With a doting face, he hugged his lover beside him. “Don’t be angry, Xiaoyue’s concerns are not unnecessary. It is also for your own good.” Although Liu Mufeng did not understand the ‘meowing’ of the Stealth Cat and only heard Jiang Xu’s words, however, from what his lover said, he had already guessed a few things. It should be that the Stealth Cat didn’t wantXiaoXu to tell him about the black box, butXiaoXu told him all about the treasure. Therefore, the Stealth Cat was dissatisfied with its owner.

“Oh.” Nodding silently, Jiang Xu picked up a grilled fish and ate it. If he moved a little slower, the grilled fish would have been eaten up by Xiaoyue.

“You two eat slowly, I’ll grill some more for you if it’s not enough.” Liu Mufeng couldn’t help laughing at the pair of Master and pet who were competing with each other to eat grilled fish.
