Ch228 - Cursed Events

Edited by Zaki

All the poisoned disciples were placed by Bai Yunfei in a courtyard of Lingwu Peak. Lingwu Peak was the residence of the Sect Master and Bai Yunfei. The reason why Bai Yunfei put them here was that he didn’t want the poison in these people to infect others. And those who took care of these thirty patients were also outer door disciples. No one among the inner door disciples were willing to come in the fear of being infected and poisoned. The disciples of the outer door were relatively poor, so Bai Yunfei paid a high fee to invite ten outer door disciples to take care of them.

When Xuanyuan Chen, Third Elder, Liu Mufeng, and Bai Yunfei walked into the room to check the patients, they found that Ninth Elder and Eighteenth Elder were also there, drawing the disciple’s blood to check the poisoning situation. Everyone performed their usual greetings. The Third Elder and Liu Mufeng began to check on the poisoned disciples.

“Ninth Elder, Eighteen Elder, how is the situation?” Seeing the two of them, Xuanyuan Chen asked.

“Sect Master, the situation is not very good. The Eighteenth Martial Sister and I cannot see what kind of poison these disciples have been poisoned with.” Speaking of this matter, the Ninth Elder expressed deep guilt and helplessness.

“Yes, the poison in them is very strange.” Nodding, the Eighteenth Elder said the same.

“Hmm.” Looking at the two of them, Xuanyuan Chen’s face turned ugly again. Even two eighth level alchemists could not discern the poison? It seems that things were very tricky.

When he came to a poisoned disciple, Liu Mufeng stretched out his hand to feel the disciple’s pulse, then rolled his eyelids and let out a little blood to check. He examined for about half an hour and then Liu Mufeng secretly sighed.

“How is it?” the Third Elder asked Liu Mufeng.

“Master, the situation is not good.” It wasn’t poisoning at all, but a curse. Liu Mufeng guessed that this matter was most likely related to Zhou Xianglan. Because he had seen this forbidden technique in the sorcerer’s inheritance; it was a technique that used the lives of ninety-nine people to improve the sorcerer’s own strength. Based on time calculations, Zhou Xianglan’s current strength should be nine stars in the Spiritual King Realm, and she used forbidden techniques mostly to advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm.

“Can you tell what kind of poison they have?” The Third Elder asked again. He also checked the pulse, but he didn’t see what kind of poison these disciples had.

“This, this…” Looking at his Master, Liu Mufeng hesitated to speak.

“Boy, do you know or don’t know? Don’t hesitate, tell me if you know.” Seeing Liu Mufeng’s appearance, Xuanyuan Chen urged.

“Mufeng, is there something difficult to say?” The Third Elder asked with concern.

“En, it looks like it to me. I heard from the Third Senior Brother that Nephew Liu’s medical skills are very good.”

“Junior Sister, don’t think about it. The Third Senior Brother regards Liu Mufeng as his lifeline. How could he give up his apprentice to you?” the Ninth Elder smiled wryly. Who wouldn’t want such an outstanding apprentice like Liu Mufeng? ? It was a pity that good seedlings belonged to others.

“Yes.” Nodding, the Eighteenth Elder sighed softly.

Looking at the three people who had disappeared, Bai Yunfei felt that this matter was a bit strange. He felt that Liu Mufeng had clearly seen the situation of these people, but he was unwilling to say more. It seemed that he had some concerns.

In the study, Xuanyuan Chen and the Third Elder sat on chairs, and Liu Mufeng stood in front of the two of them in an orderly manner.

“Tell me, what’s going on?” Xuanyuan Chen asked Liu Mufeng.

“I once read a book about a sorcery called Nine Life Technique. As long as ninety-nine people were killed by the spell, the resentment of these ninety-nine people could be used to break through the great realm.” Liu Mufeng explained what he knew.

Hearing this, the Third Elder was shocked. “It’s not poison, it’s a curse?”

“This disciple thinks it is, because these people are not poisoned at all. Although their faces are black and blue and their lips are purple and red, looking very much like the symptoms of poisoning, but, their pulses have no signs of poisoning, moreover, there is no poison in their blood.” Liu Mufeng replied to his Master.

“That’s right. I also checked their pulse. Indeed, judging from the pulse condition, there is no sign of poisoning, and neither on their blood.” Nodding, the Third Elder agreed.

“Mufeng, since you know what’s going on? Then can you cure these people?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xuanyuan Chen asked.

Liu Mufeng nodded. “There is a cure, but this disciple is not willing to take action.” Liu Mufeng was a little embarrassed to say this.

“Why?” Raising an eyebrow, Xuanyuan Chen asked suspiciously.

“Sect Master, sorcerers are vicious people. I don’t want to offend the sorcerer and get myself in trouble for others. Second, I don’t want people to know that I know sorcery.”

“This…” Xuanyuan Chen frowned upon hearing this.

“Mufeng, the disciples who died previously are already dead, the problem is not too big, but this time there are 30 people who have been cursed, and five of them are children of big families. If they die, I am afraid that those big families will not let it go, and it will be very troublesome for the sect if that happens. If you are afraid of offending people, say that they were saved by your Master, and do not say that they were cursed, just say that they were poisoned. What do you think?” Looking at his disciple, the Third Elder asked.

“That’s right, if the other people can’t be saved then let them die, it’s best to save those five children.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xuanyuan Chen also meant the same thing.

“Sect Master, this disciple is in a little tight spot recently.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

At that, Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “Boy, can you stop being so greedy for money. Asking you to do something and you will want benefits from me. I am your partner’s Master, look at you, asking me for spirit stones with your hand, are you being reasonable?”

“Sect Master, this disciple had already used the 50 million spirit stones to buy a spiritual treasure forXiaoXu so that he can go into seclusion. I really don’t have any spirit stones left. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Elder Qian in the Trading area.” Liu Mufeng said helplessly.

“I already know, you got the spirit stones and then went to the sixth floor of the Trading Pavillion and bought a bottle of Golden Spirit Liquid and Seven Treasure Golden Lotus Seeds, spending a total of 52 million spirit stones. You actually spent it faster than you earned.” As soon as his apprentice went into seclusion, Xuanyuan Chen went to ask the Trading area, only to find out that these two boys spent all their newly earned spirit stones, not to mention that they didn’t have any left, they even spent two million spirit stones additionally from their own pockets.

At that time, when he heard the news, Xuanyuan Chen was still thinking that this Liu Mufeng was not bad, buying spiritual treasure for his apprentice to improve his strength and didn’t spend all the spirit stones on himself, but he didn’t expect that this kid would come to ask him for spirit stones after spending all that he had.

“That’s right, the expenditure is indeed faster than earning. There are too many good items in the sect, and this disciple can’t help himself.” Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. He felt that spirit stones and spiritual treasures were not as important as strength. Because of the existence of the male lead, Liu Mufeng did not dare to relax even for a moment. Feeling that his and his wife’s strength had already stabilized, he directly bought spiritual treasures, hoping to improveXiaoXu’s strength even further.

Looking at the pitiful-looking Liu Mufeng, Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “Okay, I’ll give you 50 million. Those five must be saved, and you can save the rest if they can be saved. Don’t force the ones that can’t be saved.”

“Yes, thank you Sect Master, and there is one more thing this disciple wants to tell Sect Master.”

“Oh? What’s the matter?” Xuanyuan Chen asked with raised eyebrows.

“I know that there is a sorcerer in the sect. However, I can’t be sure whether she did this, and I don’t know if there are other people behind her. I don’t know much about her situation.” Looking at Xuanyuan Chen, Liu Mufeng told the truth.

“Who are you talking about? I’ll catch them.” Xuanyuan Chen asked Liu Mufeng in a cold voice.

“It’s a disciple under the First Elder named Zhou Xianglan. This woman is from the Shengtian Continent, and there are many cursed flowers planted in her yard. Her sister Zhou Xiangyun was cursed to death by her. At that time, Fifth Junior Brother and Junior Sister once asked me to see Zhou Xiangyun. However, I didn’t make a move. At that time, this disciple had just come to the sect and my foundation was not stable, so it was really hard to offend Zhou Xianglan.” Liu Mufeng sighed lightly.

“Stinky boy, you didn’t save people even when you knew they were dying!” Xuanyuan Chen reprimanded in a cold voice.

“So what? There are many cultivators dying every day in this continent, would the Sect Master go to save strangers that he doesn’t know? Would he put himself in a bind and suffer danger for the sake of strangers?” Raising his eyebrows, Liu Mufeng seriously inquired. He knew that it was selfish of him to say and do so, but who would sacrifice their own lives for others if they were not their closest relatives and beloved ones?

“All right, no need to say more, here are the spirit stones, you and your Master go save the people. I’ll go to Sword Peak and capture that little girl and interrogate her and we’ll see.”

“Yes, Sect Master.” After accepting the spirit stones, Liu Mufeng left with the Third Elder.

By the time Xuanyuan Chen brought back Zhou Xianglan’s dead body, Liu Mufeng and the Third Elder had lifted everyone’s curse.

Seeing Zhou Xianglan’s body, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. “Sect Master, did you kill the person?”

“En, when I went to capture her, I saw her setting up an altar, I saw that it was not something good, so I just killed her and I read her memory. The ninety-nine people who were injured this time, it was indeed because she had cursed them. She did it to advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm. Before that, she had cursed to their death her Aunt, her Elder Sister and Third Younger Sister, and two men who had been unfaithful to her..”

“Sect Master, do you know who her Master is? Where did she learn witchcraft?”

“She learned witchcraft from her Mother, but her Mother died long ago. Here you go.” Xuanyuan Chen threw a storage ring to Liu Mufeng. It was Zhou Xianglan’s storage ring.

“Thank you Sect Master.” After receiving it, Liu Mufeng glanced at it, and saw that there were three jade slips in the storage ring. Liu Mufeng was ecstatic.

“Boy, your Master and I know your details. Don’t play tricks on me, or I’ll beat you to death.” Xuanyuan Chen threatened coldly.

“Yes, this disciple would not dare.” Although Liu Mufeng knew witchcraft, he had never used it once. He felt that using this technique to kill someone was easy to suffer backlash, so it was not as convenient as using poison
