Ch209 - Xuanyuan Chen

Sitting around the fire, the three of them chatted while eating grilled meat.

“Hmn, not bad. Liu Mufeng, your cooking skills are not bad.” The man nodded in satisfaction while eating the grilled meat prepared by Liu Mufeng.

“Thank you for your praise, Senior.” Looking at the person sitting opposite, Liu Mufeng wondered if this person was Xuanyuan Chen. The original book did not explain howXiaoXu got to know Xuanyuan Chen, only thatXiaoXu worshipped Xuanyuan Chen as his Master. After calculating the time, it should be within the last three years. Therefore, Liu Mufeng felt that this person was probably the Sect Master Xuanyuan Chen.

“That guy Yuantu usually has a cold personality, is it hard to serve him?” Staring at Liu Mufeng, the man asked again.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled. “My Master, he is cold-hearted and warm-hearted, and he treats me like his own son, with great care.”

Looking at Liu Mufeng, whose words were full of admiration, the man couldn’t help but pout. “To be honest, I don’t agree with anything you said about him, but I will accept your words. Tell me about you. You are very good at deceiving a beautiful and capable wife for yourself, and also have coaxed Yuantu by your charms so much that he can’t wait to pick stars and gouge out the moon for you.”

Jiang Xu was not happy when he heard this. “Don’t talk nonsense, Mufeng is amazing. Much better than you.”

“How is it possible that he is better than me? Why don’t I know this?” Speaking of this, the man looked contemptuous.

“Mufeng can refine pills, modify pill recipes, capture flames, proficient in poison, and… Anyway, Mufeng knows a lot of things, and he is better than you.” Jiang Xu also wanted to say that Mufeng knew witchcraft skills, but he remembered that nobody else knew about this, so he immediately swallowed his words.

“Apart from alchemy techniques, the other skills are nothing more than side skills, and they are nothing special. No matter how powerful his poison technique is, it could kill Spiritual King Realm and Spiritual Emperor Realm cultivators, but it would not be able to hurt a Spiritual Profound Realm cultivator, let alone kill them. I can kill them easily.” For this, the man was very disdainful.

“Yes, what the Senior said makes sense, my strength can only fight Spiritual King Realm and Spiritual Emperor Realm, and my other skills are just nothing.” If he was a cultivator of the Spiritual Sacred Realm, then he would not be afraid of anyone, no need to be afraid of anything. So, in the final analysis, his strength was too weak.

“En, if you can recognize this, it proves that you are very valuable to cultivate. Unlike other alchemists, who always think that it is already great to be able to make two pills. They’re arrogant and conceited. In the end, they would die without knowing how they died.” Looking at this Liu Mufeng, the man also had some appreciation for this person.

After so many years, Liu Mufeng was the only disciple who could make his friend Jiang Yuantu take such a liking to him. It could be said that Yuantu’s treatment of Liu Mufeng had already exceeded the kindness of ordinary Masters to apprentices. This person was so deeply loved by Yuantu. Of course, his talent and aptitude for alchemy were a large part of the reason, and another reason was that this person was really smart, very eloquent and articulate.

“Yes, Seniors’ teachings, this Junior will keep in mind.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng replied.

“XiaoXu studied the Art of sword very hard. He has been to the Sword Intent Pagoda twice, and has stayed there for three years.” Looking at the man opposite, Liu Mufeng answered truthfully.

“How many floors did you get to?” Staring at Jiang Xu, the man asked again.

“Five floors.” Jiang Xu took a big bite of the meat and chewed it.

“Five floors? Not bad, you can actually reach the fifth floor with the strength of the nine stars of the Spiritual King Realm. You are indeed talented.” Looking at Jiang Xu, the man gave this little disciple three more points of favour.

“Actually,XiaoXu also went to the sixth floor. However, the sword intent on the sixth floor is more esoteric, andXiaoXu can’t comprehend it at this stage. In addition, whenXiaoXu went to the Sword Intent Pagoda, he was the strength of the seven stars of the Spiritual King Realm, not his current nine stars.” Looking at the man, Liu Mufeng answered carefully.

“Oh? So that’s how it was.” Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the man felt that Jiang Xu was a talent he could shape. He actually reached the fifth floor of the Sword Intent Pagoda with the strength of the seven stars of the Spiritual King Realm. He was indeed the disciple he was looking for.

“Senior,XiaoXu is fifty-two years old this year. Before the age of thirteen, my Father-in-Law taught him some basic swordsmanship. After that, most of the swordsmanship he uses was improved by himself based on the family’s sword inheritance. It can be said that he has always been self-sufficient. In the field of swordsmanship, he has comprehended and explored it himself. He has not received much guidance. The number of lectures the First Elder has given so far has not exceeded even ten lectures, because before coming to the secret realm, he was in seclusion for a year. It can be said that during these four years, he has been working hard to improve his strength, very diligently, never slacking off.” Looking at the man opposite, Liu Mufeng put his wife’s situation up front and told the other party.

“Is it all his own insight?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the man was even more amazed.

“Yeah, the swordsmanship I have now is something I learned and summed up from the Sword Intent Pagoda.” Nodding, Jiang Xu didn’t hide it.

“Boy, you are really a piece of rough jade. Hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to this old man as your Master. In the future, this old man will teach you about your swordsmanship.” Looking at Jiang Xu, the man said with a smile.

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes. “You haven’t told me what your name is. I can’t worship an unknown rat as my Master, can I? Besides, can you beat the First Elder? I have to think about it. When you leave the secret realm, and after you beat the First Elder, I will worship you as my Master.”

Hearing this, the man sighed in disappointment. “Don’t worry, I can beat him. How could I possibly lose to him?”

“Then I also need to think about it. You haven’t said your name yet?” Staring at the man, Jiang Xu asked again.

“My name is Xuanyuan Chen.” Looking at Jiang Xu, the man said his name.

“Xuanyuan Chen? Mufeng, is there an Elder named Xuanyuan Chen in our sect?” Looking at his lover beside him, Jiang Xu asked.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng’s mouth twitched wildly. “He’s not a Sect Elder, he is the Sect Master.”

“Sect Master? Him? No way? Why is his face different from the old Master from the Competition?” Jiang Xu was shocked when he looked at his man and the man opposite him.

“Oh, that’s a fake face, this one is the real one. I’m not that old.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen explained helplessly.

“No way. The Sect Master is such an Elder with an immortal style and a kind face. How can he be so wretched?” Looking at Xuanyuan Chen, Jiang Xu said disappointedly.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen coughed twice in displeasure. “Boy, what are you talking about? What do you mean by being wretched? Where am I being wretched?”

“From top to bottom, there is nothing that is not rude.” To be honest, if people knew that the Sect Master of Lingwu Sect looked like this, it was estimated that the image of Lingwu Sect would plummet. Therefore, it was very correct for this person to disguise as an old man with a human skin mask.

“Hey, you stinky brat, you deserve a beating, don’t you? Why do you care what I look like? You can’t beat me anyway.” Staring at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen said unhappily.

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes. “I can’t beat you now, but I can always beat you in the future.” He said, while he thought to himself,“This old guy is really shameless. He’s already tens of thousands of years old, and I am less than a hundred years old, right? He actually used his prestige to bully the small.”

“Then wait until you can beat me, then you can nitpick on my appearance again.” This stinky boy, his mouth was really bad, unlike Liu Mufeng who could talk and coax people.

“Then just wait, I’ll beat you all over the floor sooner or later. See if you dare to underestimate me.” Jiang Xu snorted coldly when he said this.

“Hey, you kid is really…”

“Sect Master, don’t be angry, my family’sXiaoXu has a relatively straightforward temperament, but it’s good he will be following your example, Sect Master, and work hard to learn swordsmanship.”

“En, I know. Don’t call me Sect Master in the secret realm, just call me Senior.” He didn’t want others to know that his true face was like this. To be honest, this face was indeed a bit difficult to see.

“It’s Senior then.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng said yes.

“There are three cultivators in the Spiritual King Realm in front of us who encountered a Spiritual King Realm demon beast, Jiang Xu, go and help them.” The man said while looking at his apprentice.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu shook his head. “Won’t go.”

Looking at the apprentice who was nibbling on the meat skewers and was unwilling to go, the man sighed helplessly. “Boy, don’t be so cold-blooded, okay? We’re all from the same family.”

“What about it if we’re in the same sect? There is no sect rule that says you must rescue disciples of the same sect. I didn’t take advantage of their defeat and ran over to kill them all and snatch their storage ring, this is already being very generous on my part.” Looking at the man, Jiang Xu said.

“XiaoXu is right, it’s not a smart move to rescue a stranger. We don’t want to be rescued by people of the same sect, we just want not to be killed by these people.” Liu Mufeng knew that on this continent where the weak eat the strong, helping others for fun was stupid, killing people and grabbing treasures was the way to go.

“You are the Sect Master, and they are the disciples of your sect. Why don’t you save people yourself?” Looking at the man, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

Hearing this, the man sneered. “The weak are not worthy of sect training and protection.”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes. What a cruel and realistic sentence. The weak were not worthy of sect training, nor worthy of sect protection. Only the strong were worth cultivating and protecting.

“Cut the bullshit then. You don’t save them yourself, but asking me to save them, you’re crazy.” Staring at the man, Jiang Xu muttered his thoughts.

Glancing at his wife, and then at Xuanyuan Chen opposite, Liu Mufeng felt that Xuanyuan Chen really didn’t wantXiaoXu to save people, but was trying to see ifXiaoXu would be merciful to save people.
