8 min read2,073 words

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went to the City Lord’s Mansion in Tian City.

Hearing that Liu Mufeng came to treat the City Lord, the old housekeeper immediately invited the two into the living room respectfully.

Sitting in the living room, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were brought bowls of tea and ate snacks while waiting for the arrival of the Tang family. After waiting for almost a cup of tea time, three people walked into the living room.

The leader was white-haired and white bearded man with a childlike face, the spiritual power on his body was surging. One could tell at a glance that he was a Master of the Spiritual Ancestor Realm. The one following the old man was Helian Xing, a sixth-level alchemist, and the other was the round-faced cultivator that Liu Mufeng had met in the Rewards Pavillion before.

“Two Seniors, this is our Patriarch, this is Alchemist Helian Xing, and this is my Young Master.” Looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, the old housekeeper introduced the three.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu hurriedly got up. “Greetings to Senior Tang, Senior Helian, and Young Master Tang.”

“Seniors, you are welcome. My name is Tang Ming. My Father’s condition is not very good. Please come and take a look with me.” Tang Ming said anxiously, looking at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu.

“Hey!” Raising his hand, the Patriarch of the Tang family interrupted Tang Ming. His eyes fell on Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. “I don’t know what the two Fellow Daoists are called?”

“Oh, my name is Dong Feipeng, and this is my partner, and his name is Song Mo.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu was speechless for a while and thought to himself:Mufeng is so lazy, he can’t even afford a fake name, and just uses the dead person’s name.

“Is Fellow Daoist Dong an alchemist? What level of alchemist?” Staring at Liu Mufeng, the Patriarch of the Tang family asked.

“I’m a fifth-level alchemist, but my Master is a sixth-level alchemist and can refine sixth-level pills.” Looking at the old guy, Liu Mufeng didn’t say that he was a sixth-level alchemist. Because he knew that in the Shengtian Continent, no one would believe him even if he said he was a sixth-level alchemist. Because there was no such place like the Spiritual Cultivation Tower in the Middle Continent, it was impossible to increase the soul power higher than the actual strength.

“Oh, so that’s the case.” Nodding, the old man expressed his understanding.

“Grandfather, don’t ask anymore, let them go and see Father.” Looking at his ancestor, Tang Ming said anxiously. The reward was put out by Tang Ming. At the beginning, the Ancestor and the other three Elders objected, because they didn’t want people to know about the City Lord’s injury.

However, Helian Xing couldn’t heal the City Lord, and Tang Zhan’s condition became more and more serious, so Tang Ming tried his best to offer a reward. Because he knew that if his Father died, he would not be able to take over Tian City with his current strength that was at the Spiritual King Realm. At that time, he can only depend on the Ancestor, or become a puppet of the other Elders. He didn’t want to live like that, so he had to cure his Father.

“City Master Tang’s situation is indeed not very good, but you don’t have to worry, Young Master Tang. I have a sixth-levelXuanling Pillrefined by my Master here. You can give it to City Master Tang, and the medicine will cure him” Liu Mufeng took the medicine. A sixth-level pill was handed over to Tang Ming.

“Xuanling Pill!” Helian Xing couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he heard this name. He had also seen such a pill as the Xuanling Pill in ancient books. However, he heard that the pill recipe for Xuanling Pill had long been lost. He was afraid that even a higher-level continent like the Zunhuang Continent would not have Xuanling Pill! So, where did this young cultivator get it from? Was it found in some relics?

“Thank you, Senior Dong.” Tang Ming immediately took the pill.

“Young Master Tang, can you show me the pill?” Helian Xing walked over as he spoke.

“Ah!” Tang Ming handed the pill in his hand to Helian Xing.

After receiving the pill, Helian Xing was even more shocked when he saw the pill in his hand. The pill was indeed exactly the same as the Xuanling Pill described in the book, both in smell and color, and what was even more unbelievable was that this pill was actually newly refined, not some ancient pill found in relics. This made Helian Xing very curious.Could it be that there was really someone in this world who could refine the long-lost Xuanling Pill?

“Helian, what can you say about this pill?” The Patriarch of the Tang family asked.

“Ah, you can take it for Fellow Daoist Tang, there is no problem. Senior Tang, don’t worry.” Helian Xing returned the pill in his hand to Tang Ming.

After receiving the pill, Tang Ming immediately fed it to his Father on the bed.

After waiting for about half an hour, Tang Zhan on the bed finally slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

“Father, you woke up, you woke up Father!” Tang Ming was overjoyed as he saw his Father regaining consciousness.

“Ming‘er.” Looking at his Son, Tang Zhan called softly.

“Zhan‘er, how do you feel?” Walking over, the old Master looked at Tang Zhan on the bed.

“Third Grandpa, don’t worry about me, I’m fine.” Tang Zhan replied respectfully.

“En, as long as you’re okay. As long as you’re okay!” Seeing Tang Zhan wake up, the old master also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Tang Zhan died, even if the Tang family was not in chaos, it was doomed to be in a state of failure. How could Tang Ming’s cultivation at the Spiritual King Realm be able to support the Tang family’s family business?

“Thank you, Senior Dong, for treating my Father. This is the 100 million spirit stones, please accept it, Senior.” Tang Ming took out 100 million spirit stones and handed them to Liu Mufeng respectfully.

“Thank you Young Master Tang, we will bid farewell to the three Seniors.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng accepted the spirit stones and was about to leave.

“Wait a minute, two young friends.” Helian Xing stopped Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu while speaking.

“Is something the matter, Senior Helian?” Looking at Helian Xing, Liu Mufeng asked softly.

“Oh, I just want to ask, who is Daoist Dong’s Master? I don’t know if you can recommend us to him. I want to meet this Fellow Daoist.” Helian Xing said with a smile.

“I’m sorry, Senior Helian, my teacher is a recluse, and doesn’t see strangers. I have to say goodbye beforehand.”

“Daoist Dong came to the rescue, TangMouis very grateful, why not stay and have a banquet together, let TangMoushow the friendship of the landlord!” Sitting up from the bed, Tang Zhan said so.

“Thank you, Senior Tang, for your kindness. I still have important things to do, so please excuse us.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu away directly.

Looking at the two men who disappeared in the blink of an eye, the old Master of the Tang family couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Do these two boys have to run so fast? Isn’t it just 100 million spirit stones? Are they afraid that we will kill them for it?”

Hearing this, Tang Zhan smiled wryly. “They are not as strong as us, so naturally they want to guard against us.”

“That Daoist Dong’s Master must be a great sixth-level alchemist.” Helian Xing felt that Dong Feipeng’s master’s alchemy must be superior to his own. It was a pity that his Master lived in seclusion and didn’t want to deal with ordinary people like him.

“Yes, he should be a powerful alchemist.” For this, Tang Zhan deeply agreed. He felt that this recluse alchemist must be much better at alchemy than Helian Xing. It was a pity, he didn’t have the chance to meet him.

“Father, what do you think, will those two Seniors go to Ye’s house?” Tang Ming asked uncertainly.

“Ye Family?” Raising his eyebrows, Tang Zhan looked at his Son.

“Yeah, after Father fell into a coma, I offered a reward of 100 million spirit stones for a sixth-level pill to heal soul wounds. The Ye family also offered a reward of 80 million to treat Uncle Ye’s poisonous wounds. I went to the reward hall yesterday, and I accidentally saw the two Seniors just now. At that time, they were looking at the reward list, and they asked why there were four rewards for six-level pills. So, I think they are anxious and also want to go to Ye’s house!” Tang Ming said as he looked at his father.

“En, it’s also possible.” Nodding, Tang Zhan agreed.

“Senior Tang, Fellow Daoist Tang, let me go out for a while” Helian Xing turned around and left after saying that.

Looking at Helian Xing who left, Tang Zhan smiled. “This Helian. He is crazy about alchemy.”

“Uncle Helian went to Ye’s house?” Tang Ming raised his eyebrows and asked uncertainly.

“En, he must have gone to Ye’s residence.” Tang Zhan answered very positively.

“This Helian Xing is really anxious, you just woke up, he ran away without a trace, didn’t even stay to make some pill for you to recuperate your body.” The ancestor of the Tang family complained a little.

“Third Grandfather, I’m fine. My soul power trauma has been healed. I don’t need to take other pills to treat it.” Shaking his head, Tang Zhan said he was fine.

Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Tang family nodded. “Zhan‘er, didn’t you go to the ruins of the sages with a group of comrades? How did you get hurt so badly? Were there powerful demon beasts in that ruins?”

“Yes, Father, what really happened?” Tang Ming was also very curious about this.

“Alas, we took it for granted and were careless. At that time, a few of us found a six-level trapped lock formation, and thought it was the relics of our ancestors. As a result, Yang Chengshu opened the formation. We went in and took a look. It was not a relic at all, but a level seven blue-and-white blood python in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm trapped in the formation. Fortunately, the python had been trapped for too long, and its strength had dropped to half a step of the Spiritual Profound Realm. The six of us thought that we would be able to kill it. As a result, two Fellow Daoists fell, and the remaining four of us were also badly injured” Speaking of this matter, Tang Zhan was very depressed.

“Oh, so that’s the case.” Nodding his head, the ancestor of the Tang family expressed his understanding. This was something that couldn’t be helped, who knew what was in the formation? Finding ruins was the same as betting on stones. If you bet right, you could get a great opportunity to improve your strength. If you bet wrong, you could lose your life.

“Oh, what a pity, there was only one level-7 demon beast.” Tang Ming frowned when he heard that it was a level-7 monster.

“Yeah, we didn’t expect it to be like this.” Tang Zhan sighed softly. This time, he really lost his wife and lost his army. Fortunately, there was Dong Feipeng’s pill to save him, otherwise, he might still be in danger and the Tang family would be in chaos.
