Ch301 - Encountering the Male Protagonist

Riding a flying magic artifact, the three members of Liu Mufeng’s family once again changed their appearance. This time, Jiang Xu changed into an old man dressed as a Master, while the Father and Son, Liu Mufeng and Liu Xuan changed into the appearance of Jiang Xu’s apprentice.

“XiaoXu, give me the stone.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at his partner.

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu gave the stone to Liu Mufeng, who threw both the teleportation stone and Bu Qingqing’s messenger jade pendant into the bracelet dimension.

“Father, why did you throw Miss Bu’s messenger jade pendant into the bracelet dimension as well?” Liu Xuan looked puzzled.

“It is indispensable to guard against the heart of others. Since the Treasure Compass has an effect on this teleportation stone, perhaps other cultivators also have magic tools to identify this teleportation stone. By then, the other party could easily find our position without destroying the teleportation stone. Moreover, Bu Qingqing’s messenger jade pendant may also reveal our position.” Liu Mufeng patiently explained to his Son.

“Father is worried that she would have tampered with the jade pendant?” Obviously, his Father was guarding against the Bu sisters.

“That’s a possibility.” Liu Mufeng naturally couldn’t have trusted those two women he didn’t know much.

“Your Father is right. If it’s true, as Bu Sisi said, this teleportation stone belongs to their Bu family. Then, Bu Qingqing and Bu Sisi must hold grudges against us. How could they be so kind as to cooperate with us?” Jiang Xu also felt that matter was not very simple.

“Yeah, Father and Dad’s concerns are not unreasonable. If someone robbed me of a treasure like the teleportation stone, I wouldn’t give up so easily.” Liu Xuan agreed with his parents’ decision.

“Alas, I thought we would have a good journey and move on leisurely, but it seems that we can’t do it now. The Five Poisons Sect and the Bu Family found us halfway. We can only go directly to Shu City to avoid trouble.” Liu Mufeng said helplessly, looking at his wife and son.

“Father was right to take a flying magic artifact and go directly to Shu City. This is safer.” Nodding, Liu Xuan agreed.

“Although we have been attacked by the Five Poisons Sect and were accosted by the Bu Family this time, we have obtained the teleportation stone and these, which is not a loss.” Jiang Xu took out three jade slips and some paper books and handed them to his man.

Liu Mufeng was ecstatic when he saw the items his lover had handed over. “Are these the inheritances of Poison Techniques?”

“En,they were found in the storage rings of those four guys, and there were also many poisonous plants and poison pills here.” As Jiang Xu spoke, he gave his lover another storage ring.

“That’s great,XiaoXu, I’m going to study these inheritances in the bracelet dimension. You’re responsible for driving the artifact. We can arrive at Shu City in about half a year. I’ll let Xiaoyuan and the other Spirit Insects to protect you and Xuanxuan.” Liu Mufeng smiled as he looked at his lover.

“Okay, this Son understands, thanks a lot, Dad.” After receiving those spiritual treasures, Xuanxuan immediately went to his room and went into seclusion.

Two years later, the Shu City

Shu City was a large city on the front line of the Zunhuang Continent. The area of this city was as large as three Lingwu Continents. The most famous place in Shu City was the seven-storey Book Tower. The collection of books in the Book Tower were all isolated and incomplete books left from ancient times, and the value of research was very high. Moreover, many of the books in the Book Tower were also about the secrets of Ancient Clans, so there were many cultivators who came to read these books in admiration.

Eighteen months ago, Liu Mufeng’s family of three arrived at Shu City. After arriving, Liu Mufeng directly bought an identity card and went to the Book Tower to read. Jiang Xu and Liu Xuan found an inn and stayed there.

While staying at the inn, Jiang Xu sold a lot of pills, collected a sum of spirit stones, and took his Son around the city. With the help of the Treasure Compass, Jiang Xu picked up many treasures. Over the past year, he had become familiar with the city like a fish in water.

On this day, the Father and Son came to the Spiritual Material Market and wandered around. “The materials sold in this spiritual material market are all materials for crafting weapons and making talismans. Most of them are rare materials or even unknown ones.” However, it was easy to mix other stones into the stone for refining, so it was convenient to pick up treasures here. Therefore, Jiang Xu often brought his Son to go around the shops.

As he walked casually, Jiang Xu came to a stall and his gaze fell on a black stone. “Boss, how do you sell this stone?”

“Yo, this Senior has a good eye. This is a high-quality ebony-green stone. Whether it’s used for crafting magic tools or configuring rune materials, it’s a good thing.” The Boss in the Spiritual Emperor Realm introduced with a smile as he looked at Jiang Xu.

“How many spirit stones should I pay for it?” Jiang Xu inquired about the price, as he picked up the stone that was the size of two fists and looked at it.

“This is a top grade, level six material, no second prices, eight hundred spirit stones.” After thinking for a moment, the boss quoted the price.

“Too much, I can only give five hundred.” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu counter-offered five hundred.

“Senior, you’re bargaining for too little. Five hundred is not enough. At least seven hundred fifty pieces of spirit stone, and I won’t sell any less.” Shaking his head, the Boss asked for seven hundred fifty pieces of spirit stone.

“I will pay a thousand spirit stones.” A woman in blue said as she approached the stall with two men dressed in black.

“Seven hundred and fifty spirit stones, I already bought them.” Jiang Xu directly put away the stones, and put down seven hundred and fifty spirit stones for the Boss.

“This, this…” The Boss looked at Jiang Xu and then at the female cultivator. Sweat immediately appeared on his forehead, because he could see that Jiang Xu was a cultivator in the Spiritual Profound Realm, and the woman was also in the Spiritual Profound Realm.

“Old fellow, you have a lot of nerve, you dare to rob what our young lady likes?” Looking at Jiang Xu who was about to leave, the two black-clothed men blocked Jiang Xu’s path.

Watching the two Spiritual Emperor Realm cultivators flaunting their power in front of him. Jiang Xu sneered. “You two boys don’t want to live anymore, do you?” Jiang Xu directly released his pressure.

“Ah, ahhh…” Their bodies softened, and the two men fell on their knees on the spot.

“You, you…” Looking at Jiang Xu, the two men in black had bloodshot eyes and thought to themselves,‘This dead old man is so daredevil. How dare he humiliate them in public? He really doesn’t take their Rune Aristocratic Family seriously!’

“It’s my subordinates who didn’t understand. Please don’t take offense, Daoist Friend.” The woman spoke lightly as she looked at Jiang Xu.

“If they are not sensible, take them back and discipline them well. Don’t bring them out to make a fool of themselves!” Jiang Xu said displeased as he looked at the woman.

Upon hearing this, the woman looked embarrassed. She didn’t expect the other party to say such words so mercilessly. “Yes, you are right. I have an urgent need for the ebony-green stone. I wonder if you can give it up and sell it to me, Daoist Friend? I am willing to offer three thousand spirit stones.”

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes. “This street is full of stone sellers. If you want stones, you can buy them yourself. I’m not a stone seller. What do you mean by coming to buy them from me? Are you provoking me?”

Looking at Jiang Xu’s unkind expression, the woman smiled helplessly. “You misunderstood me, Daoist Friend. I just casually asked. Since you are not willing to sell it to me, that’s fine.”

“What’s the matter, Shanshan?” Just as Jiang Xu and the woman were locked in a stalemate, a black-clothed cultivator also came over.

Seeing the visitor, Jiang Xu’s eyes were red with anger. “Xiao Zhantian, it’s you bastard.”

“You, who are you?” Looking at Jiang Xu, who had changed his appearance into an old man, Xiao Zhantian unexpectedly didn’t recognize him for a moment.

“Xiao Zhantian, you greedy bastard! Today, I’m going to kill you and avenge Mufeng!” Jiang Xu pulled out his sword and directly attacked Xiao Zhantian.

“You, you are Jiang Xu!” Stunned, Xiao Zhantian immediately recognized the other party. He quickly pulled out his sword to block the opponent’s attack.

Seeing the two of them flying into the middle of the sky and fighting against each other, the fifth heroine, Jiang Shan, couldn’t help but frown. She had heard of the name Jiang Xu. She had heard that Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng, and Zhantian were all cultivators from the Lingwu Continent. In those years, they took revenge for a Golden Jade Lotus flower in the secret realm. Later, Zhantian’s first partner Meng Shishi, and his second partner Sun Miaomiao also died in the hands of Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu due to this. Unexpectedly, they met Jiang Xu here today.

“Are you Liu Mufeng?” The fifth heroine Jiang Shan’s gaze fell on Liu Xuan and asked suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan pursed his lips and made no reply.

Narrowing her eyes, Jiang Shan directly released her pressure on Liu Xuan, trying to reveal the other person’s identity.

Flying down from Liu Xuan’s shoulder, Xiaoyuan transformed into a human figure, blocking the woman’s coercion. She looked coldly at the woman and said, “Are you Jiang Shan, a Rune Master and Xiao Zhantian’s third wife?” Her Master had been paying attention to Xiao Zhantian, so Xiaoyuan also knew about Xiao Zhantian’s taking a third wife.

“Are you a demon cultivator?” Looking at Xiaoyuan, Jiang Shan couldn’t help narrowing her eyes and thought to herself:Most demon beasts that can cultivate into human shapes are demon cultivators with high bloodlines. I didn’t expect Liu Mufeng to have such a high bloodline beast in his hands. She is actually a level 6 demon cultivator.

“Don’t talk nonsense. If you dare to touch Xuanxuan’s hair, you will die without a burial place.” Xiaoyuan flashed her sword as she spoke.

“What a big mouth.” Jiang Shan sneered as she looked at Xiaoyuan. She was a five-star cultivator in the Spiritual Profound Realm, and the other party was only one star in the Spiritual Profound Realm. She actually dared to threaten her with such words, the other party was too insolent.
