Ch263 - The Golden Crystal Bed

After returning to the Palace Hall, Jiang Xu couldn’t wait to start searching the other three puppets again and finally found two more oddly-shaped keys.

“Mufeng, look, what are these two words?”

“Let me take a look.” Liu Mufeng took the keys and checked them both. “En, one is “cultivate”, characters for cultivation, and the other is “Machinery” characters for mechanism .”

“Hss, it should be the Great Elder’s cultivation room. ‘Machinery’, that should be the Great Elder’s crafting room. Go find these two words on the pillar.” Jiang Xu urged.

“Don’t be so anxious. The Great Elder’s cultivation room and the mechanism room must be equipped with traps. It can’t be as simple as the place where the corpses were disposed of.” Liu Mufeng reminded his lover earnestly.

“En, I know, I will be careful.” Jiang Xu assured his man earnestly.

“Okay, let’s go to the Great Elder’s cultivation room first.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng took one key, flew directly to the second pillar where he had seen this character when he was reading the scripts earlier, and slipped the key into the groove.

“Pa-ta.”A crypt once again appeared on the ground.

Looking at the opened crypt, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but hook his lips. “It’s opened.”

“En, don’t go in yet, let the puppet take a few Golden Spirit Insects in to explore the way.” The Spiritual White Rabbits were no longer useful for these high level mechanisms, so Liu Mufeng decided to let a fourth-level puppet bring a few Golden Spirit Insects into the crypt.

“En, okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

Beckoning, Liu Mufeng called a puppet over, and then released ten Spiritual Mortal Realm Golden Spirit Insects. The Spirit Insects rested on the puppet’s shoulders and entered the crypt together.

As soon as the Spirit Insects entered the crypt, Xiaoyuan, who was sitting on Liu Mufeng’s shoulder, turned on the sharing mode. When Liu Mufeng closed his eyes, he could see everything in the basement. Through the eyes of the Golden Spirit Insects, he saw a rough cultivation room. There was only a bed made of Golden Crystals in the middle of the four walls in the training room, nothing else; the place was clean and empty.

Seeing the puppet walking to the bed step by step without touching any traps, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. It was said in the original book that the male protagonist and his party entered the cultivation room but it took a lot of effort to get the bed. Unexpectedly, the puppet did not touch any mechanisms. Was it because the puppet had no breath or life fluctuations so it did not trigger the mechanisms?

Thinking of this, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and let the puppet come out again. Then, he released two Spiritual Master Realm Golden Spirit Insects, handed them a storage ring and sent them into the cultivation room together with the puppet.

Entering the cultivation room for the second time, the puppet walked again to the bed with ease, and the Golden Spirit Insects took away the Golden Crystal Bed very smoothly. It went so smoothly that Liu Mufeng couldn’t believe his luck.

“En, good, good.” Nodding distractedly, at this moment, Jiang Xu only had the beautiful Golden Crystal Bed in his eyes.

Seeing that his lover liked this bed so much, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Do you want to go to the dimension to cultivate for a while? I mean sit on this bed and cultivate, or refine this bed.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu looked at his man in puzzlement. “But we haven’t found parts for making the mechanism?”

“We are neither craftsmen nor mechanism Masters. It doesn’t matter if we have those parts or not.” Liu Mufeng didn’t care about this.

“But, aren’t we leaving here?” Staring at his man, Jiang Xu asked uncertainly.

“We can’t leave for the time being. The Golden Light Palace will be open for one year, and we won’t be automatically teleported out; we have to stay here for a full year.” Liu Mufeng explained.

“The opening time is one year? Then, what about the other Palaces?” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu asked in shock.

“The opening time of each Palace is different. The Golden Light Palace is one year, the Muze Palace is two years, the Crystal Palace is three years, and so on. The opening time of the Palace of the Demon Gate is ten years, which is the longest opening time.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at his lover.

“Oh, no wonder when I asked you to go to Muze Palace first, but you insisted on coming to the Golden Palace, so that’s how it is.” Nodding his head, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“Yes, the Golden Light Palace is the one with the shortest opening time among the Ten Palaces, so we must come to the Golden Light Palace first.” Liu Mufeng answered seriously.

“Then, why don’t we look for the key? We haven’t found the key of the Golden Light Palace yet, right?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu asked again.

“It’s here.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng came to the side of the bed, raised his hand and patted the secret compartment at the head of the bed, the secret compartment immediately sprung open, and a golden key appeared in front of the two.

“This is the key to the inner city.” Reaching out his hand, Jiang Xu was about to take it, but Liu Mufeng grabbed his hand.

“Don’t touch the key, there may be traps.” Liu Mufeng said so.

“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Xu hastily withdrew his hand.

Turning his head to the side, Liu Mufeng glanced at the puppet beside him. The fourth-level puppet stretched out its hand and took out the key from the secret compartment.

“Pa…”A short crossbow arrow flew out, directly piercing the puppet’s arm.

Looking at the two big holes on the puppet’s arm and the green liquid oozing out from the holes, Jiang Xu’s face turned pale. Obviously it was a poison arrow. If it hits a puppet, it would only damage one of his arms, but if it hits a person, it would kill them with poison. Fortunately, Mufeng reminded him in time.

Putting on his black gloves, Liu Mufeng took the key from the puppet’s hand, put it under his nose and smelled it. Then, he took out two spiritual plants, tore off the leaves, and wiped the key carefully with the leaves.

The key turned three points brighter than before, and the leaves used to wipe the keys turned black. Jiang Xu couldn’t help swallowing. “The key also had poison coated on it.”

“Yes, it’s poisoned, but luckily I didn’t touch it with my hands.” Liu Mufeng

secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had read the original book, otherwise, he would probably have been poisoned by now, but since he has the antidote on him, it would not be a big problem if he was poisoned.

“This Great Elder was quite careful.”

“Of course, the Ten Elders are the strongest cultivators of the Tianyan Clan. They shouldered the mission of protecting this race. The reason why they built their Palaces outside was to protect their clansmen with their own lives.” Liu Mufeng explained to his lover.

“Oh, that’s it.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding and felt admiration for the Ten Elders.

Holding the spiritual plants leaves, Liu Mufeng carefully wiped the hidden compartment of the Golden Crystal Bed again, for fear that his lover would be poisoned.

Seeing such a considerate and careful lover, Jiang Xu smiled. “Then I’ll go into seclusion for a while, let Xiaoyue and Xiaolan follow you and protect you.”

“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng took off his gloves and kissed his beloved’s forehead.

“Here you are.” Smiling, Jiang Xu handed over his animal raising bag to his lover.

“En.” Liu Mufeng took the animal raising bag and directly sent his lover and the Golden Crystal Bed into the bracelet dimension.

After sending Jiang Xu into seclusion, Liu Mufeng asked Xiaoyuan to help repair the two holes on the puppet’s arm. Then, he sent the two puppets to the Mechanism room with twenty Golden Spirit Insects.

He found some materials for making explosive beads and brought them out. As for the other materials, Liu Mufeng was not very interested, but Xiaoyuan was very interested in several crafting materials, saying that they could be used to craft or repair puppets, so Liu Mufeng also obediently asked the Golden Spirit Insects to bring out all the materials Xiaoyuan wanted.

The opportunities that should be taken had been obtained, and Liu Mufeng had nothing else to do, so he released the little fox and all the Spirit Insects to protect him, and began to refine pills during the day and cultivate at night. Waiting for the day when they would be teleported out from the Palace.

Alas, he was not as flamboyant as the male protagonist who could still play bed-battles with the three female leads here. His wife was about to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm and needed to go into seclusion, and he was alone. He could only battle with alchemy and cultivation. Fortunately, he had a lot of spiritual plants in his hand, some of which were harvested from the dimension, and some were the spiritual flowers and plants they collected in the Sea of Flowers. Right now, they were all used for Alchemy. Having more pills in his hand, he could take them out and sell them when they won’t have enough spirit stones. Otherwise, if there were no pills, no spirit stones, how could he raise his wife?

“Liu Mufeng, I want to eat Spirit Beast Pills. Can you also refine some Transformation Pills for Xiaoyuan? Xiaoyuan has been studying transformation techniques for a long time, but she still can’t learn how to shape-shift.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the little fox said helplessly.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng raised his hand and rubbed the little fox’s head. “You have eaten too many Spirit Beast Pills, and you can’t digest anymore for now. It has no effect even when you eat them. I will refine other pills that are suitable for your strength. After you stabilize your strength, you can absorb the Celestial Moon Stone to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm.”

“Okay, I don’t know what other pills are suitable for me, I just know the pill called Spirit Beast Pill.” The little fox rolled his eyes as he spoke.

“Okay, I have refined five batches of sixth-level pills today and my soul power consumption is a bit high. I’m going to take a rest first and I will refine the pills suitable for you tomorrow.” Liu Mufeng waved his hand and took out the table and chairs and the bed from his storage ring. There was no furniture in this hall, making the place feel very awkward.

Sitting on the bed, Liu Mufeng put the little fox beside him and reached out his hand to invite Xiaoyuan to sit on his shoulder. “You want to shape-shape?”

“Master, Brother Yue is able to transform, and I want to transform too.” Xiaoyuan said sullenly as she looked at her Master.

“For so many years, although I have been purifying your blood, your blood is still not as good as Xiaoyue, so the most important thing you need to do now is to improve your strength. When your strength reaches a certain level, then you would be able to transform naturally. If I use pills to forcefully help transform you now, it will be bad for your health and cause certain side effects, do you understand?” Liu Mufeng explained patiently.

“I don’t really understand, but if Master said that I can’t change form yet then I can’t change form yet.” Xiaoyuan felt that what her Master said must be right. After following her Master for so many years, she still trusted her Master very much.

“Don’t worry, take your time, and when the time is right, I will definitely help you transform.” Looking at his beast pet, Liu Mufeng promised seriously.

“En, I understand Master.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan expressed her understanding.
