A few days later,
Sitting on a stone bench in the yard, looking in the direction of the alchemy room, Jiang Xu looked depressed. “It’s been six days, why hasn’t Mufeng come out yet?”
Looking at Jiang Xu who was sitting across from her with a gloomy face, Madam Helian smiled shyly. “Oh, that dead old man in my family is like this. Once he enters the alchemy room, he won’t come out. Sometimes I wonder if there is a woman hiding in his alchemy room.”
At that, Jiang Xu burst out laughing, thinking in his heart:This Madam Helian is really funny, there is an Earth Fire vein in the alchemy room, which woman would like to stay in such a hot place?
Seeing Jiang Xu smile, Madam Helian also smiled. “Nephew Jiang, don’t worry, they might come out in a while. These are some snacks I made with my own hands, try them.” Madam Helian took out four trays of snacks from her interspatial ring and placed them on the stone table.
“Thank you Madam Helian.” Smiling, Jiang Xu picked up a piece of snack and started to taste it.
“Brother Jiang, if you’re bored, I’ll take you for a walk around the city.” Helian Tianwen said attentively to Jiang Xu. Since Liu Mufeng and his Father went to the alchemy room, Helian Tianwen had become Jiang Xu’s twenty-four hour filial Younger Brother, he was with Jiang Xu every day. When Jiang Xu was in a good mood, he would teach him a few swordsmanship tricks, and when he was bored, he would accompany him and just chat to pass the time.
“No, I’ll wait for Mufeng here!” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu refused.
“Oh.” Nodding, Helian Tianwen didn’t say anything more. He knew that Senior Brother Jiang was worried about Senior Brother Liu.
“Mother, Fellow Daoist Jiang.” Walking into the yard, Helian Tianqi greeted them with a smile.
“You have come.” Seeing her Eldest Son, Madam. Helian showed a loving smile.
“En, hasn’t Father and Fellow Daoist Liu come out yet?” Helian Tianqi asked.
“No, not yet.” Madam Helian frowned as she replied to her son.
“Oh.” Helian Tianqi didn’t say much.
Everyone sat together and waited for almost an hour. The door of the Alchemy room finally opened. Helian Xing and Liu Mufeng came out one after the other.

Helian Xing rolled his eyes. “Madam, what were you talking about?”
“I was talking about you! It’s fine if you’re crazy by yourself. Why did you drag Nephew Liu to be crazy with you? You don’t know how anxious Nephew Jiang was waiting. They are a young couple, you think they’re old men like you that even if you don’t see me for ten and a half months, you won’t look at me more.” Looking at her partner, Mrs. Helian said helplessly.
Helian Xing looked at Jiang Xu in embarrassment when he heard his wife’s complaints. “Nephew Jiang, don’t blame Nephew Liu, I took him to make alchemy together and asked him some questions. That’s why I wasted some time.”
“Oh, no, it’s okay.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu wasn’t too upset.
“Senior Helian doesn’t have to be like this. It’s inevitable that alchemists will waste some time discussing alchemy together.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile and walked to his lover’s side.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, I’ve already sold all your pills. These are the spirit stones that we’ve earned” Helian Tianqi handed the spirit stones to Liu Mufeng.
“Many thanks Fellow Daoist Helian. This is the next batch of pills.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng took out another batch of pills for Helian Tianqi.
Helian Tianqi smiled. “Fellow Daoist Liu has refined a lot of pills.”
“En, part of it was brought by me from the Zunhuang Continent. The other part was refined by me in the past thirty-five years.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said so.
“Oh, that’s how it is.” Helian Tianqi picked up the bottle of pills on the table, looked at it, and put it away. “Fellow Daoist Liu, many of the pills that you have refined recently are made from the demon beast cores of sea demon beasts. It seems that Fellow Daoist Liu has also researched and is very proficient in the refining of demon beast cores”
“Fellow Daoist Helian, my skills on that are just superficial.” Liu Mufeng replied modestly.
“Refining pills with demon beast cores, isn’t this skill already very high? It’s much more difficult than refining pills with spiritual plants.” Helian Xing looked at Liu Mufeng with awe in his eyes
“I learned some methods of dealing with demon beast cores from my Master. I can chat with Senior Helian about it some other day.” Liu Mufeng said generously.
“Okay, let’s talk about demon beast core alchemy some other day. There are also some residual ancient recipes left by my ancestors, if Nephew Liu is interested, we can study it together.” Helian Xing said with a smile, looking at Liu Mufeng expectantly.
“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng agreed.
“Tianwen, have you sold my magic weapons?” Jiang Xu turned his head to look at Helian Tianwen.
“Brother Jiang, don’t worry, most of them have been sold, only the two pirate ships were left. Here are the spirit stones, you take it first.” Helian Tianwen handed the spirit stones from the sale to Jiang Xu.
“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.
“Father, Li Cheng, the Lord of Huo City, sent you a letter saying that he will arrive in Jiang City in three days.” Helian Tianqi handed over the letter jade pendant to his father.
“Oh, good, great. He’s finally here!” Nodding, Helian Xing looked at Liu Mufeng beside him.
“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng was also very happy.
Back in the room, Jiang Xu looked at his man sullenly.
“What’s the matter? Were you bored waiting?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.
“No, I just heard Madam Helian say that there is a beauty hidden in the alchemy room of Lord Helian.” Jiang Xu laughed when he mentioned this.
Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “How is it possible? There is an Earth Fire in the alchemy room, it is very hot, how can someone hide in the alchemy room?”
“I also think it’s impossible! But even without a beautiful woman, that old man could keep you interested for so longah.”
Liu Mufeng smiled. “You, you just like talking nonsense. Senior Helian and I were discussing alchemy. Senior Helian’s ancestors had a seventh-level alchemist. However, something happened to Helian’s family a thousand years ago and many inheritances of high-level alchemy have been destroyed. That’s why Senior Helian’s alchemy has not improved. I heard that Senior Helian has many family inheritances. So, I discussed those Pill recipes.”
“Do you want to buy his recipes?” Jiang Xu asked with a smile.
“No, I said that I can study it with him, and we will share it when we have researched the Pill recipes, and he agreed. HHe said that he could make a copy for me to study slowly, and if I can’t study it over here, when I do, I can return to the sect and give it to Junior Sister Helian.” Liu Mufeng explained.
“Then, are the recipes he took out very precious? You haven’t seen them before?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu asked curiously.
“En, the pill recipes are pretty good. They’re all sixth-level pill recipes that I haven’t seen in the sect.” Liu Mufeng was very interested in those pill recipes of Helian Xing,
“Oh!” Looking at his lover’s excited appearance, Jiang Xu knew that his lover liked those prescriptions very much. “By the way, Mufeng, you asked a craftsman to craft a sword for me, but how can he craft the sword without the materials?” Jiang Xu was very confused about this.
“Remember Lin Hai’s sword? I’ve seen that sword was crafted with top-grade sixth level materials. We can use this sword to re-smelt and craft a sword for you. In this way, you won’t have to worry about not having a magic weapon to use after you advance to the next realm. Moreover, if we meet the Sun family, having a sixth-level magic sword in hand will make us safer.” Liu Mufeng explained.
“Oh, so that’s the case. No wonder you won’t let me sell Lin Hai’s sword.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.
“I was in a hurry to craft a sword for you because I was worried that you would not have a suitable magic weapon when you advanced. When we go back to the Zunhuang Continent, if you don’t like this sword, we can buy a new one. However, the Shengtian Continent is poor in resources. It’s impossible to buy a good sword, so I can only use a second-hand one first.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng was very helpless.
“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s okay for me to use another cultivator’s magic weapon.” Jiang Xu didn’t care about this.
“I will sell a few more batches of pills before going to Mechanism Island. The spirit stones I earned this time will be put into the spiritual lake. Therefore, we may not have too much money in the near future, but you don’t have to worry. The Mechanism Island is full of traps, and 80% of the cultivators who go there will die there. So far, very few cultivators have gotten the good things on the island, so it is a big treasure house. As long as we are lucky enough, we can find a lot of opportunities when we go there.” Liu Mufeng comforted him.
“It doesn’t matter. I sold those magic weapons that we had stocked and made a lot of spirit stones. It’s enough to buy some low-level demon beasts for Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyue to make ends meet. I’ve asked Tianwen to help me choose White Spiritual Rabbit. Didn’t you say that you want to take some demon beasts to go to the Mechanism Island to explore the way? Tianwen said that White Spiritual Rabbit is a second-level demon beast and is very clever, so it is more suitable for exploring the way.” Jiang Xu said so.
Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows at that. “Tianwen? It’s so kind of you to call him by his first name.”
Seeing his lover’s strange look, Jiang Xu blinked in surprise. “You are jealous.”
“No, I’m not jealous, but I eat people.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng reached out and pulled his wife into his arms. “Has it been too long since I cleaned you up properly?”
Hearing the ambiguous words in his ears, Jiang Xu smiled. “Helian Tianwen flattered me so that I could teach him swordsmanship. I don’t like him in that way, and he doesn’t like me either.”
“Really?” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng put his arms around his wife’s waist, and directly pressed him against the door panel.
“When did I ever lie to you?” Jiang Xu said helplessly.
Liu Mufeng curled the corner of his mouth, pulled up his lover’s leg and wrapped it around his waist, and forcefully kissed his wife’s lips…
