Ch250 - Selling Pills

After dinner, the four members of the Helian family got together to talk.

“Father, I think the so-called truthful statements that Liu Mufeng said a while ago were all lies. However, what Jiang Xu said should be true.” Helian Tianwen said his thoughts.

“En, Second Brother is right. I also think that many of Liu Mufeng’s words were not true. For example, he said that he and Jiang Xu encountered a space-time storm when they went out to practice and were involved in it. This son thinks this must be a fake. If it was really a space-time storm, they were more likely to be killed in that storm.” Helian Tianqi agreed.

“Of course, the two of them must have their secrets, otherwise it would be impossible for them to come to our Shengtian Continent. Since they don’t want to talk about it, let’s stop asking.” Looking at his two Sons, Helian Xing replied.

“Husband, do you think they came here for the Mechanism Island?” After thinking about it, Madam Helian enquired.

“This, this is unlikely. There is a moving formation on the Mechanism Island and the island moves in an irregular direction in the sea. No matter how capable Liu Mufeng is, he wouldn’t be able to figure out when the Mechanism Island would appear and that too it would appear near Jiang City in our Shengtian Continent.” Shaking his head, Helian Xing thought it was impossible.

“Then, then why did they come all the way to the Shengtian Continent? Could it be that they came to the Bai family for revenge?” Madam Helian couldn’t figure out this matter.

“There is another possibility; in order to avoid enemies. Many cultivators who had offended people in the high-level continents will run to the middle and low-level continents to hide. In this way, it will be difficult for their enemies to find them.” Helian Tianqi also knew some of this kind of thing.

“That’s right, there is indeed such a possibility. Let’s wait until 20 years later, when the merchant ship returns. Let’s send a letter to ask your Sister, and we’ll find out.” After thinking about it, Helian Xing replied.

“En,that’s the only way.” The distance between the two continents was very far, and the ordinary messenger jade pendant was no longer usable. Therefore, the exchange of news could only rely on merchant ships to bring letters.

“Liu Mufeng is the most beloved disciple of Jiang Yuantu, the eighth-level alchemist of Lingwu Sect, and Jiang Xu is the closed-door disciple of the Sect Master of Lingwu Sect. Their identities are quite special, so both of them may have some secrets that they don’t want to tell us. Since they don’t want to talk about it, we don’t need to ask any more questions. During the two months that they will live in the mansion, we have to do our best to take care of them as hosts. Anyway, they are your little Sister’s fellow sect disciples. We don’t want to offend them, otherwise, when they return to the sect, they will definitely embarrass Xiaoxiao.” Helian Xing said to his Wife and their two Sons.

“Yes Father.” The Helian Brothers said In response.

“Xiaoxiao is only a nine-star Spiritual King Realm now, and the strong eat the weak in the big sect. Thinking about it, Xiaoxiao really has had a hard time.” Thinking of her little Daughter, Madam Helian’s eyes turned red.

“Hei, don’t be sad like this, Xiaoxiao’s alchemy talent is extremely high, and she has room to develop only after going to the Zunhuang Continent. It is her blessing that she can become the disciple of an eighth-level alchemist. You should be happy for her. Okay? As for tempering, if you don’t cut a jade, you can’t make it into a weapon. How can a cultivator become a talent without repeated polishing?” Helian Xing said to his wife.

“En, I understand.” Nodding, Mrs. Helian expressed her understanding.

“Oh!” Zhou Xuening nodded upon hearing what her Second Uncle said. She understood that he was afraid of Lingwu Sect, so he didn’t want to mention much about the cause of death of the two Sisters.

“The higher continent’s sect is really scary. More than 60 people died in one go.” Thinking of this, Zhou Xueying was also a little terrified.

“Actually, this is the law of the jungle everywhere in the cultivation world. It’s just that the competition in the higher continents is more intense.” Having said this, Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes.

“Second Uncle, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu are both ruthless characters. If they go to the Mechanism Island, they will have a great impact on us.” Zhou Xuening was a little worried.

“There’s no other way. They came to Jiang City this time for Mechanism Island!” This matter was a foregone conclusion, and it could not be changed.

“Second Brother, you said that they had gone to the higher continent, why did they come back? Liu Mufeng said that they encountered some space-time storm and were caught by accident. I think this must be a lie.” Zhou Kun, who was a dunderhead, even he would not believe this kind of rhetoric.

“Actually, it’s not difficult to guess. There are only three reasons. The first is treasure hunting, the second is refuge, and the third is advancement. Only in these three situations will cultivators choose coming to lower continents. Because it is safer.” Zhou Qian said after thinking about it.

“Treasure hunting is unlikely, right? Unless Liu Mufeng could foretell and knew that Mechanism Island would be opened. If it is for advancement, it is somewhat possible. I think Jiang Xu’s strength has reached the peak state, and he should indeed advance. But, I am more inclined towards the second possibility; to take refuge.” After thinking for a while, Zhou Kun said.

“Third Uncle is right. I also think they came back to take refuge. Back then, after they killed Bai Feifei, they ran to the Zunhuang Continent. Maybe they killed someone else there this time, so they ran back here.” After thinking for a while, Zhou Xueying agreed.

“En,this is indeed possible.” Nodding her head, Zhou Xuening also agreed.

“No matter what they came back for. You have to remember that if you can not offend them, try not to offend them. Their background is very strong. Jiang Xu’s Master is a ninth-level cultivator and the Sect Master of the Lingwu sect, Liu Mufeng’s Master is an eighth-level alchemist, and no one would dare to offend these two people even in the Zunhuang Continent. If we hurt their apprentices, they will not let us go.” Looking at his Brother and Nieces, Zhou Qian advised coldly.

“En, we understand.” Nodding, the three replied.

The next day, the Zhou Brothers and the Helian Brothers came to Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu’s yard together to learn swordsmanship from Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu was dressed in white, holding a long sword, and was waiting in the yard since early.

Seeing the prepared opponent, Helian Tianwen couldn’t wait to draw out his magic sword and charged forward to fight with Jiang Xu.

It had to be said that since Helian Tianwen learned swordsmanship since childhood, he had very good skills, and his foundation was also very solid. However, compared to Jiang Xu, he was still a bit worse. Jiang Xu had been to the Sword Intent Pagoda three times to realize the essence of the Sword Intent, and also had the guidance of Xuanyuan Chen, not to mention, he had acquired the Power of the Stars in the Well of Enlightenment. These good opportunities, Helian Tianwen did not have.

The two fought each other for more than two hundred moves, and Helian Tianwen was defeated. Even though the robe on his chest had been cut open and there were shallow wounds on his chest, he was very excited. “Brother Jiang, you are amazing!”

Looking at the look of adoration on Helian Tianwen’s face, Jiang Xu smiled. “Fortunately, my swordsmanship was taught by my Master.”

“No, not only your swordsmanship, Brother Jiang also comprehended the profound meaning of swordsmanship. I can feel a surge of power from your sword moves. If you use all your strength, I guess I won’t be able to take thirty moves in your hands.” Helian Tianqi could tell that Jiang Xu didn’t exert his full strength. Otherwise, he would have been defeated long ago.

“It’s the Power of the Stars. I acquired the Power of the Stars in the Well of Enlightenment and integrated it into my sword intent.”

“The Power of the Stars?” Hearing this, the four of them were shocked.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, where is the Well of Enlightenment you mentioned? It seems very powerful.” Zhou Kun asked curiously.

“Oh, it’s in a small secret realm of Lingwu Sect. It’s very expensive to go to the Well of Enlightenment. It takes five million high-grade spirit stones to go once, and you can only go for 30 years at a time. Moreover, each cultivator can only go there once for their lifetime. Some cultivators can gain some insight, and some can’t gain anything.” Jiang Xu still felt pained when he mentioned the Well of Enlightenment.

“So that’s it.” Hearing the sky-high price of five million high-grade spirit stones, the three of them could only sigh in dismay.

“Two Daoist Friends Zhou, two Daoist Friends Helian, you are here.” Walking out of the room, Liu Mufeng greeted the four of them with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Liu just finished refining pills?” Helian Tianqi asked with a smile when he smelled the scent of medicinal pills on Liu Mufeng’s body.

“Yeah, I’ve been short of spirit stones recently, so I refined some pills. I wonder if I can ask Fellow Daoist Helian to help me sell all the pills?” Looking at Helian Tianqi, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile. As the saying goes, a strong dragon did not suppress a local snake.

This was Jiang City and the Helian family was a local snake. Instead of running out to sell the pills, it was better to hand it over to the Helian family for help. Anyway, even if he sold the pills secretly, the Helian family would surely come to know.

“Of course, it’s my honor.” Nodding, Helian Tianqi agreed with a smile.

Waving his hand, Liu Mufeng took out a small part of his pills.

Looking at the densely packed pill bottles on the stone table, the four of them were all shocked, thinking inwardly:There are really a lot of pills!

“Fellow Daoist Helian, here are 1,000 fourth-level pills and 500 fifth-level pills, most of which are commonly used pills for healing, stopping bleeding, restoring spiritual power, and detoxification. Please help me get these medicinal pills sold. We will share the percentage of the spirit stones for the pills sold, I will take 90%, and Fellow Daoist Helian will take 10%.” Liu Mufeng suggested.

“No, no, how good is this, Fellow Daoist Liu?” Shaking his head, Helian Tianqi refused with a smile.

“Brothers are clear about the accounts, how can I let Fellow Daoist Helian be busy for nothing? Besides, wherever I ask the pills to be sold, the shop will also charge a commission!” Smiling, Liu Mufeng naturally couldn’t make the Young City Lord of the city give him free labor.

“Okay then, leave this to me.” Nodding, Helian Tianqi directly took away the pills on the table.
