Ch210 - Looking For a Place

After half an hour…

The three had finished their meal and were sitting on the spot chatting when they saw the three wounded cultivators– one woman, two men, running towards them in distress, and behind them was a five-meter tall red bear.

Those three were all Spiritual King Realm cultivators. One was in three stars, and the other two in four stars in strength. And that demon beast was the strength of the six-star Spiritual King Realm, which was much stronger than the strength of the three.

Seeing Lui Mufeng’s group of three sitting beside the fire, the eyes of the three flustered-faced cultivators lit up. Immediately, they ran towards their side, and shouted while running: “Senior Brothers help! Three Senior Brothers help!”

Looking at the three people who had drawn the demon beast over, Jiang Xu couldn’t help the darkening of his face, flew up, and rushed towards the demon beast.

Seeing his lover wielding his sword and flying towards the red bear, Liu Mufeng stood up and wanted to help, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Chen. “Let him do it himself, he can handle it.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng didn’t say anything more. He knew that his lover could handle it, but with his help, his lover’s battle would be more effortless. But obviously, the Sect Master didn’t want him to take action. He could only watch from the sidelines.

Jiang Xu’s strength itself was higher than the demon beast, coupled with his fierce swordsmanship, he quickly eliminated the bear. With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xu put away his spoils and looked at the three people who were looking flustered.

“Thank you Senior Brother Jiang for your help.” The woman in the lead bowed her head and thanked him with a smile.

“You’re welcome, the protection fee is 10,000 spirit stones per person.” Looking at the three, Jiang Xu said coldly.

“Ah?” Hearing this, the three of them were astonished.

Looking at Jiang Xu who asked for protection money from the three, Xuanyuan Chen was delighted. He happily thought to himself:This kid’s temper is really so much to my liking.

“Senior Brother Jiang, everyone is from the same sect, how can you ask us for spirit stones?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the female cultivator asked aggrievedly.

“Why can’t I ask you for spirit stones? I’m not your Father or your Mother, why should I help you kill a demon beast for no reason, why should I save the three of you for no reason?” Jiang Xu asked in a justified manner as he glared at the three of them.

“We, we are from the same sect!”

“If you don’t have the spirit stones, then hand over spiritual plants, spiritual flowers, and spiritual fruits. Don’t wait for me to get your storage rings. Then, you’ll have nothing.” Jiang Xu said coldly, looking at the other party. The thing he hated the most was wiping after other people’s asses. Back then, the abominable Bai Feifei, he had met in the Shengtian Continent was a bitch, and she liked to lead demon beasts to him and Mufeng, and let the two of them wipe after her ass.

“I, that’s all I have.” Said the timid man as he handed over his spiritual plants and spiritual fruits.

Jiang Xu took it and took a look. He nodded. “You can go. You two?”

Seeing Jiang Xu coming over, another male cultivator could only save his storage ring and avoid disaster, and gave Jiang Xu 10,000 spirit stones.

Seeing Jiang Xu, who was arrogant and unreasonable like a bandit, the female cultivator itched with hatred. Unwillingly, she gave a thousand-year-old spiritual plants and also left with her companions.

Glancing at the backs of the three of them leaving, Jiang Xu gave the spiritual plants and spiritual fruits in his hands to his man.

“Boy, you are really black hearted. You actually want ten thousand spirit stones from others?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the man pretended to disapprove.

“Hei, I didn’t take advantage of people being in danger and kill the three of them. It’s already very kind of me. Isn’t one human life worth ten thousand spirit stones? Are their lives so cheap?” Jiang Xu gave the man a disdainful glance. He followed Liu Mufeng to pack up the things on the ground and left together.

Seeing the two leaving, Xuanyuan Chen immediately followed.

———-

Six years later, (Secret Realm time, nine years and nine months)

In three months, the ten-year deadline would be up, and the cultivators in the small secret realm would be sent out. However, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu still hadn’t found any good opportunities. It might be that their good luck had really run out, or it might be that there were really too few good opportunities in this small secret realm, so even if there was a Treasure Compass in their hands, it could not find a good opportunity.

Although the genuine treasures were not found, they had collected a lot of spiritual plants, spiritual fruits and spiritual flowers. Moreover, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu also killed a lot of demon beasts, and they used the past six years to stabilize both of their strengths. Especially Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu not only had killed a lot of demon beasts, but also Xuanyuan Chen taught him swordsmanship. With Xuanyuan Chen’s help, Jiang Xu’s swordsmanship had improved a lot, and his cultivation had also increased a lot.

Sitting on the side, Liu Mufeng stewed the meat while watching Jiang Xu and Xuanyuan Chen practice swordsmanship with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He andXiaoXu had come from a low-level continent, and what they lacked most was the guidance and inheritance of famous Masters. Now that he has a Master,XiaoXu also has the guidance of his Master, it could be said that this was a great thing that the two cultivators from the lower continent dreamed of.

Although Jiang Xu’s swordsmanship had improved a lot, he was still not a match for Xuanyuan Chen and would lose out in a short period of time. Jiang Xu glanced at the bloodstain on his shoulder, and once again flew towards Xuanyuan Chen with his sword.

“You brat.” Looking at Jiang Xu, who refused to admit defeat, Xuanyuan Chen shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Xu tried his best, and fought with Xuanyuan Chen for more than two hundred rounds. He finally stopped when he was exhausted and ran back to Liu Mufeng’s side to eat.

Silently taking out a medicinal pill, Liu Mufeng hurriedly fed it to Jiang Xu, and then tore off his lover’s sleeve to treat the wound on his shoulder.

Picking up the bowl, Xuanyuan Chen took a sip of the broth. He couldn’t help thinking:Liu Mufeng has a lot of advantages. Besides his good cooking skills, this gentle and considerate ability, he also coaxed his apprentice for a while. Jiang Xu, this kid, no matter how good his swordsmanship is, no matter how ruthless he is, he can’t escape Liu Mufeng’s palm in this life. This is really one thing.

“Damn old man, can’t you do it lightly? It hurts me.” Glancing at the wound on his shoulder, Jiang Xu couldn’t help wrinkling his nose.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen snorted softly. “You want me to be gentle,en? Will the demon beast stop eating you because you look good? You must be joking.”

Jiang Xu bit his lip dully and stopped talking. He thought inwardly:Old man, wait for me, one day, I will defeat you. One day, I will beat you.

The three of them were eating and chatting, and suddenly, they saw a group of sixteen cultivators dressed in sect uniform coming from far and getting nearer to where they were seated.

Seeing the group of people coming, Liu Mufeng raised his brows. Glancing at the crowd, he saw the female cultivator who was rescued byXiaoXu from the demon beast a few years ago. However, only the female cultivator was with the group and he did not see the other two male cultivators with her at that time, so it was already a lot of bad luck.

“Are these Brothers and Sisters looking for us?” Standing up, Liu Mufeng asked softly.

“Junior Brother Liu, right? I’m Hu Qiang, the ninth disciple of the Eleventh Elder, and this is my fiancee, a disciple of the Ninth Elder, Zhao Tian’er. I heard from my fiancée that Junior Brother Jiang rescued her some years ago. Is this true?” Speaking of this, Hu Qiang looked coldly at Jiang Xu who was eating meat.

“You don’t need to come here to thank me. Zhao Tian’erhas already given me a spiritual plant, and we have already cleared the balance.” Looking at Hu Qiang, Jiang Xu said unconcernedly.

Hearing this, Hu Qiang snorted coldly, and everyone who followed Hu Qiang was very angry at Jiang Xu’s casual attitude.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you took advantage of the danger I was in and took my spiritual plant. Aren’t you ashamed to say that I gave it to you?” Staring at Jiang Xu, Zhao Tian‘ergritted out through her teeth.

“Hmph!You must be joking, I’m not your man, do I still want to save your life for no reason? I saved you, of course you have to pay the spirit stones, this is the right thing to do.” Jiang Xu didn’t think he did it wrong. Just imagine, if he, Mufeng, and the old man were not as strong as that demon beast, and Zhao Tian’erand the others had attracted the demon beast to their side then. What would have been the result? Maybe, not only Zhao Tian’erand the others would have died, but even Jiang Xu and his group of three would have died. Therefore, Jiang Xu felt that asking only 10,000 spirit stones for protection was already very cheap.

“You, you rascal, you…” Zhao Tian’er stomped her feet angrily, looking at Jiang Xu’s natural expression.

“Junior Brother Jiang, I heard that your swordsmanship is good, why don’t we discuss it? If I win, how about you return my partner’s Millenium Spiritual Plant to her?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Hu Qiang challenged.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled. “I’m sorry, Senior Brother Hu, the spiritual plant from Junior Sister Zhao has long since been refined into a medicinal pill, and my partner and I have already taken it.”

“You, you…” Hearing this, Zhao Tian’eralmost fainted in anger. She came to the secret realm and worked hard for many years, and found such a thousand-year-old spiritual plant, but Liu Mufeng had already refined it into a medicinal pill and ate it.

“Want to fight? Okay, let’s bet 50,000 spirit stones. If you win the sword in my hand, I’ll give you 50,000 spirit stones. If you lose, you’ll give me 50,000 spirit stones. Do you dare? ” Looking at Hu Qiang, Jiang Xu said without fear.

“It’s been almost ten years since I came to the secret realm, and I have used up all the spirit stones on my person. I don’t have 50,000 spirit stones. However, I can bet a five thousand-year-old spiritual plant with you. If I won, give me five of a thousand-year-old spiritual plants you found in the secret realm. If you win, I will give you my spiritual plant. How about it, do you dare to gamble?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Hu Qiang asked with a defiant expression.

Jiang Xu turned his head to look at his lover beside him. “Do we still have the thousand-year-old fourth-level spiritual plants that have not been refined into medicinal pills?”

“Of course there is.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng said that he still had spiritual plants in his hand.

“Okay, how do we compete? Is it pure swordsmanship? Or will you be beaten to death?” Looking at Hu Qiang, Jiang Xu asked.

“Junior Brother Jiang is a disciple of the First Elder, and I am a disciple of the Eleventh Elder. We are both swordsmen, so naturally we use pure swordsmanship.” Hu Qiang said as he looked at Jiang Xu.

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu readied his sword.

Looking at Jiang Xu, Hu Qiang also readied his sword, and the two came to the open space beside them. Then they attacked one sword to one sword.
