Ten months later…
Looking at his lover who appeared in front of him, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but smile. “Not bad, your strength has improved a lot again.”
“En, I have refined one-third of the Golden Crystal Bed. I feel that my strength has risen. I think I should settle down and stabilize carefully, and I can directly break through to the Spiritual Profound Realm in my next seclusion.” Jiang Xu said as he smiled back at his husband.
In fact, Jiang Xu had already vaguely felt the barrier of the Realm, but he didn’t try to advance. The first reason was that he was afraid of failing in the advancement due to hastiness. The second and most important thing was that they hadn’t gone to the Muze Palace yet and the wood spiritual treasures had not yet been obtained. He had to help his lover get the spiritual treasures to retreat in peace, otherwise, how could he go into seclusion peacefully?
“Okay, consolidate your strength, don’t be impatient, advancing to the Spiritual Profound Realm is a big deal.” Liu Mufeng’s plan was to wait until he went to theTianyao Continent, and then find a safe place for his lover to retreat. This island was full of people and dangers, it was not suitable forXiaoXu to go into seclusion and advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm.
“En, I think so too. We’ve been in this Golden Light Palace for almost a year, right?” Jiang Xu asked.
“En, almost, there are three days left and then will be a whole year.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng replied. In the past few months that his lover had gone into seclusion, apart from refining pills, he was cultivating, and his life was very depressing. Today, his lover was finally out of seclusion.
“En,eiwhat is Xiaoyuan doing?” Looking at the side, he saw a lot of refined tools and crafting materials that came from the Palace’s mechanism room, as well as Xiaoyuan sitting on the table and staring at the beast skin on the table. Looking at the spirit insect, Jiang Xu’s face showed his confusion.
“I found some crafting inheritance in the mechanism room. Xiaoyuan said that she wanted to learn, and I translated it for her. I rewrote the inheritance to the demon text. She is studying now. In addition, the materials in the mechanism room were also ransacked by her. ” Liu Mufeng smiled wryly as he said this.
“Crafting inheritance? Xiaoyuan could also now be regarded as a refiner and craftsman of weapons and puppet techniques.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu walked over and looked at the spirit insect seriously learning.
“I think it’s quite hard. She uses half -bucket of spiritual water at one go, and the magic weapons are stumbling out. Now she wants to learn mechanism techniques, I guess she won’t be able to learn anything.” To be honest, Liu Mufeng did not hold out much hope for Xiaoyuan. Although the Five Elements Golden Spirit Insect was superb and their refinement of magic weapons were unparalleled, Xiaoyuan was only a Primordial Golden Spirit Insect after all. A Primordial Spirit Insect which had overcome its bloodline restraint and became a Spiritual Emperor Realm demon beast and could make a few ugly magic weapons, in fact, this development was already very, very good.
“My Master always underestimates people, our Boss Jiang is the best.” Xiaoyuan said as she flew to Jiang Xu’s palm.

“En, you can rest assured Boss Jiang, I will work hard. In the future, Boss Jiang’s magic weapons will all be crafted by me. When I learn the Mechanism techniques, I will arrange a lot of traps outside Boss Jiang’s yard. If your enemies can’t get in, no one can hurt Boss Jiang. “Looking at Jiang Xu, Xiaoyuan said flatteringly.

Although the Spirit Insect was his own beast pet, as half the Master of the beast pet,XiaoXu was more than his owner. Petting with a group of pests, often preparing food for the Spirit Insects, finding them opportunities, and spoiling them more than the owner.

“It’s not that I’m not optimistic about Xiaoyuan, but her bloodline is not strong enough. We can’t find too many good opportunities for her on the mid-level continent. When we return to the higher continent, I will find more opportunities for her and see if I can improve her bloodline more. If their primordial bloodline can be improved more, then their abilities of refining devices will be better, and they will become smarter. It will not be a big problem for her to learn Mechanism Techniques.” Xiaoyuan’s shortcomings were in her bloodline. Although Liu Mufeng andXiaoXu had improved all the way, Xiaoyuan was probably reaching the peak of the Spiritual Emperor Realm. It would be impossible for her to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm if her bloodline was not raised.
“En, thank you, Master. I thought Master had already forgotten me.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xiaoyuan laughed.
“Okay, don’t sellmenganymore, go and continue to learn the inheritance. Three days later, we will leave.”
“En, I understand Master.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan flew back to the table directly to study the manual.
Three days later, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were sent out of the Golden Palace directly.
Standing in front of Golden Gate and looking at the closed Golden Gate, Liu Mufeng hooked the corner of his mouth and thought in his heart:Yes, I got the Golden Crystal Bed, at least to ensure that Xiao Xu would advance. I don’t know if the male lead can successfully advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm now that he has lost the opportunity of the Golden Crystal Bed.
“Mufeng, let’s go to the Wood Gate.” Jiang Xu said anxiously, gripping his partner’s hand.
“Okay.” Nodded, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu to find the Wood Gate.
“Mufeng, this corridor is so beautiful.” Standing outside the gate, looking at the corridor full of purple flowers, Jiang Xu said with a smile. Compared to the ordinary corridor of the Great Elder of the Golden Palace, this flower-covered corridor was more distinctive and more beautiful.
Liu Mufeng frowned, hearing his lover’s awe. “That’s the Dark Night Purple Orchid, a poisonous flower that can kill people.”
Hearing that those beautiful flowers were poisonous, Jiang Xu’s expression immediately changed. “That’s right, you told me before that this Second Elder is a female cultivator, and besides, she was neither a Mechanism Master nor a Puppet Master, she was a Poison Master.” Thinking of this, Jiang Xu shivered.
“Yes, this Second Elder is a Poison Master. I suspect that the poisonous arrows and poisonous keys we found in the bed’s secret compartment were all refined by this Second Elder, because among the Ten Elders, she was the only one who excelled in poison refining.” Liu Mufeng frowned.
“En, it’s possible.” Nodding, Jiang Xu thought so too.
“Come on, take an antidote first, and then put on the headgear and gloves. Remember, don’t touch anything after you walk in.” Liu Mufeng warned his lover with concern.
“En, I understand.” Nodding, Jiang Xu took the antidote, hood, and gloves, and covered himself tightly.
Taking out another hood and gloves, Liu Mufeng also covered himself. The Five-Element Spirit Insects were not afraid of poison, so they didn’t need any equipment. The little fox had already gone into seclusion with the pills prepared by Liu Mufeng and the Celestial Moon Stone, the day afterXiaoXu left seclusion. Liu Mufeng reckoned that it would be impossible for the little fox to leave the seclusion in less than a hundred years this time. Fortunately, this secret realm had only been open for eleven years, and there were still nineteen years before it would be closed. It was estimated that by the time they would go to the Tianyao Continent, the little fox would have already advanced to the Spiritual Profound Realm.
After taking the antidote and putting on gloves and headgears, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu walked into the corridor full of flowers together.
Sitting on Liu Mufeng’s shoulder, Xiaoyuan looked intoxicatedly at the corridor full of purple flowers. “Master, this place is so beautiful.”
“En.” Liu Mufeng responded lightly.
Looking at Xiaoyuan, Jiang Xu smiled. He also thought the corridor full of flowers was very beautiful when he first saw it, but after knowing that these flowers were poisonous and would cost their lives if they were not careful enough, Jiang Xu no longer felt in awe, he just thought these flowers were scary.
Liu Mufeng released two puppets and three hundred Spirit Insects to lead the front, while he observed the purple flowers on both sides. When he encountered plump and delicate flowers with strong vitality, he would pick them. Although the Dark Night Purple Orchid was highly poisonous, it also had high medicinal value. It could fight poison with poison and detoxify twelve kinds of snake venom. It could also be used directly as poison to kill people and demon beasts, so Liu Mufeng planned to pick more flowers if he had the chance.
“Mufeng, I saw that the flowers ahead are red, not purple.” Because he knew that the Dark Night Purple Orchid was poisonous, Jiang Xu was particularly sensitive to the flowers in this corridor.
“En, the flowers in front are the Red Enchantress. It’s also a poisonous flower.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng stopped and put all the Dark Night Purple Orchid he had collected into the storage ring.
“Red Enchantress.” Hearing this name, Jiang Xu twitched the corners of his mouth. Just by the name, he could tell it was not a good thing.
“Then, do you have an antidote?” Jiang Xu asked worriedly.
“No, but I can make it. I have the ingredients.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.
“Then, will we be poisoned, or should we go out first?” Jiang Xu said worriedly.
“It’s okay, as long as we stand in the area of Dark Night Purple Orchids, we won’t be poisoned. There is no turning back once we pass through the gate. These Ten Palaces, we are all allowed to enter but not allowed to leave by our own accord. We won’t be able to get out in less than two years. Even if we go back down the corridor now, we won’t be able to get out of this Palace.” Liu Mufeng explained.
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.
“Don’t worry, I’ll prepare the antidote.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng took out a medicine jar and a wooden mallet to pound the medicine. He took out three kinds of poisonous weeds, smashed the poisonous weeds, added some spiritual water, and put them in two cups, gave one cup to his wife and one cup to himself.
“That’s it? I thought you were going to refine antidote pills.” Jiang Xu said with a smile.
“Refining the antidote pills for the Red Enchantress is too troublesome, I still have to study it first, just eat poisonous herbs to detoxify itah.” In fact, Liu Mufeng could refine all kinds of poison antidotes, but he was afraid that his lover would be suspicious, so he didn’t prepare the antidote in advance.
