Ch233 - Huorong City

Three months later, Huorong City

In the inn’s room, Jiang Xu, wearing only light profane clothes, was sitting on a chair, and was trying his best to stick an ice talisman on his body. He kept drinking and splashing himself with spiritual water to help himself cool down. “Mufeng, why is this place so hot? It’s so hot.”

Looking at his almost naked lover who had pasted five ice talismans but was still hot and flushed, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “This is Huorong City, the place where the Fire Spiritual energy is strongest. There are flame veins underground, and at the Huorong Mountains to the east, there are sixteen active volcanoes that erupt from time to time.” In this geographical location, it was impossible for it to be not hot.

“Mufeng, this place is so hot, why do people still live here?” Jiang Xu couldn’t understand this. He felt that this place was so hot that even he, a cultivator at the Spiritual Emperor Realm, couldn’t stand it, so how come there were still cultivators at the Spiritual King Realm and Spiritual Master Realm running this way?

“There is dense flame power in the air here, which is perfect for fire cultivators to live in, and fire cultivators who cultivate here are much stronger than in other places. Therefore, most of the cultivators who come here to settle are fire cultivators. And at least six of the ten of them are weapon craftsmen, so there are many craftsmen in Huorong City, as well as many magic weapon shops. You can buy all kinds of magic weapons here.” In fact, it was not just Jiang Xu who was hot, but Liu Mufeng was also hot, because this place was not suitable for a wood spiritual root cultivator like him.

“Mufeng, since this is a place for fire cultivators to practice, why are we here?” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu asked aggrievedly.

“Of course I’m here to hunt for treasure.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng took out the Treasure Compass to show his lover.

“Ah, there’s a spot of light. But this spot is in the East. It’s not on top of those volcanoes, right?” Thinking of this, Jiang Xu felt a little depressed.

“Don’t worry, I’ve inquired and there is a magical robe called the Ice Robe here, which can insulate the body from the fire spiritual energy. Later, let’s go to the Magic Artifact Store and buy an Ice Robe so that we won’t feel so hot.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu thought about it. “Why don’t you buy the materials and let Xiaoyuan refine them for us? This way you can save some spirit stones.”

“It’s not bad to spend for these kinds of magic weapons, let’s just buy it. The ones Xiaoyuan refined are too ugly to wear.” Liu Mufeng didn’t want to be stared at by other cultivators.

“Okay. How are Xiaoyuan and the others doing?” Jiang Xu asked again.

“They’re okay, Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyue, and the Spirit Insects, except for the Fire Spirit Insects, are all staying in the dimension.” Those guys were afraid of the heat, so they all ran into the bracelet dimension to hide.

“The Fire Spirit Insects are really happy these last two days, the Beast Fires too.” This place was full of Fire spiritual power, so the Fire Spirit Insects and the two Beast Fires were very excited. The Fire Spirit Insects had been released by Mufeng, often flying out the window and around the backyard of the inn. The two Beast Fires were released by them every night to absorb the power of the flames.

“En, the environment here is not suitable for us, but it is very suitable for them.”

“En, let’s buy the magic robe and find the spiritual treasure first. The spiritual treasures in this place are probably fire spirit treasures. Thinking about it, this thing should be very useful and beneficial to our Beast Fires and Fire Spirit Insects.” This time the opportunity they wanted to find was the Flame Essence. The second heroine had advanced to three small realms in the Spiritual Emperor Realm by virtue of this Flame Essence. Liu Mufeng wondered if he could also advance by small realms by virtue of this.

“Okay, you can take a Cooling Pill, so that you won’t feel so hot.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng thoughtfully took out the medicinal pill for his wife.

“En.” After taking the medicinal pill, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu left the inn together.

After leaving the inn, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu found a magic weapon shop within a hundred meters of walking. They bought two ice robes very easily and after putting on the robe, Jiang Xu suddenly felt that all the heat from outside was cut off, and he no longer felt hot and uncomfortable.

“Mufeng, this robe is so nice.” Jiang Xu was very happy after putting on the robe. He felt that it would be fine for him to stay here for a few more days.

“Yeah, it feels a lot more comfortable after wearing it.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng agreed.

“Our Huorong City is more suitable for cultivators with fire spiritual roots. Why did the two Fellow Daoists come to Huorong City?” Looking at Liu Mufeng and his wife, the beautiful shopkeeper asked.

“Oh, we’re here to visit a master craftsman and ask him to help us refine magic weapons.” Liu Mufeng replied with a smile.

“So that’s it.” Nodding, the beauty expressed her understanding.

“Fellow Daoist, how many spirit stones for these two robes?” Looking at the beautiful shop owner, Liu Mufeng asked.

“The robes you chose are fifth level, one piece is 6,000 spirit stones, and the two pieces are 12,000 spirit stones.” Smiling, the shop owner quoted the price.

“This Fellow Daoist, please give me a discount.” Looking at the female cultivator, Jiang Xu asked her for a discount.

The female cultivator smiled. “Okay, then 11,500 spirit stones, this is the lowest price.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng took out the spirit stones and handed them to the female cultivator.

“This Fellow Daoist, I’m Huo Rong‘er. I’m a local cultivator from Huorong City. My family has several magic weapon shops, and there are also many master craftsmen in my family. If you can’t find the master craftsman you are looking for, you can come to me, and I can introduce you to my family’s craftsmen.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the female cultivator said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll remember it. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Huo.” Bowing his head, Liu Mufeng thanked with a smile.

Looking at the enthusiastic Huo Rong‘er, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but frown. “He has a partner, he won’t like you.”

Hearing this, Huo Rong‘erwas stunned for a moment, and then saw Jiang Xu reaching out and hugging Liu Mufeng’s arm possessively, declaring his sovereignty. “Oh, so the two Daoists are Dao Companions.”

“Yes, he is my man.” Nodding, Jiang Xu answered very affirmatively.

Seeing Jiang Xu’s expression of ‘Don’t fight with me’, Huo Rong‘erwas speechless for a while with black lines all over her forehead.

“Let’s go first, thank you, Fellow Daoist Huo.” Liu Mufeng thanked her again and left with his jealous wife.

Seeing the two leave, Hu Po couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Miss, why did you give them a discount and be so polite to them?”

Glancing at the maidservant who was angry for her sake, Huo Rong‘ersmiled. “Didn’t you see that these two are not even hundred and fifty years old?”

“Such young cultivators at the Spiritual Emperor Realm?” Hearing this, Hu Po’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“Yes, very young cultivators in the Spiritual Emperor Realm.” When Huo Rong‘ersaw the two of them, she was very envious of them. At the age of less than 150 years, and already a cultivator at the Spiritual Emperor Realm, so could one not envy them?

“Being at the Spiritual Emperor Realm at such a young age, one must be a child of a big family. Maybe they got there by relying on pills and spiritual treasures. It’s no big deal. In our Zunhuang Continent, there are many cultivators of this kind, regardless of their strength, their combat power would be very weak. Once they encountered a powerful demon beast, they would be finished. How could they compare with the Young Lady?” Looking at her young lady, Hu Po said flatteringly.

“You can’t say that. There are always powerful people outside, and the Zunhuang Continent has never been short of geniuses. I gave them discounts and helped them introduce craftsmen because they were young and promising. Unexpectedly, my good intentions were misunderstood, they thought I would become a rival in love.” Huo Rong‘ersmiled wryly as she said this. She took the initiative to show her friendship because she saw that the two cultivators were both young and promising young geniuses. Unexpectedly, she was misunderstood by the other party.

“Hmph, it’s that Dual who is too over the top and suspicious. Miss, what is your identity? How could you just fall in love with a cultivator who you just met by chance? He thinks too much.” Hu Po was disdainful. The Young Lady of their family is the Daughter of the City Lord, how could she demean herself and look at a married man?

Hearing this, Huo Rong’erlaughed.

————-

Back in the inn, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly when he saw his unhappy wife. “XiaoXu, you think too much, people won’t simply take a fancy to me.”

“Well, that’s not necessarily the case. Mufeng is so powerful, many people will naturally like you.” In Jiang Xu’s eyes, his man was the best in the world, so he will naturally be liked by many people.

“Huo Rong‘eris the Daughter of the Lord of Huorong City, she has a noble lineage. She wouldn’t take a fancy to a poor guy like me. However, this woman has a high status in Huorong City, so you’d better not offend her.” Liu Mufeng said to his lover helplessly.

“She’s the Daughter of the City Lord. No wonder she said that there were several magic weapon shops and several craftsmen in her family. It turns out that she is the Daughter of the City Lord.” Nodding, Jiang Xu understood now that Huo Rong‘erweren’t just talking big, it turned out that the woman’s family was really rich.

“Yes, in Huorong City, only the lineage of the City Master has Huo as the surname.” This Huo Rong‘erwas also a small cannon fodder. She was a fifth-level craftsman in the Imperial Clan. In the original book, she and the second heroine were clan sisters, and the competition between the two was fierce. But later, she was thrown away by the male lead team. Therefore, as soon as the other party had told her name, Liu Mufeng knew who she was.

“Oh, I see.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“How is it? Do you feel much more comfortable wearing this robe?” Liu Mufeng asked softly, holding his lover’s hand.

“En, it feels much better, it won’t be so hot and uncomfortable.” Nodding, Jiang Xu replied.

“We’ll rest in the inn for two days before going to the Huorong Mountains.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.
