Ch383 - Mufeng Out of Seclusion

Five years later……

Although five years had passed, the business in the Medicinal Pool Area of Lingwu Sect was still extremely booming. In the past few years, most of the people who soaked in the medicinal pools were the second generation of cultivators and some Second-class Elders of the sect. In the past few years, most of the people who soaked in the medicinal pools were outer disciples. Even if it was five times the fee, it still couldn’t stop other sect’s cultivators from pursuing the medicinal pools frantically. Relying on these foreign cultivators, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu made a lot of money— a huge profit.

As the Chief Elder of the Medicinal Pool Area, Elder Zhou, was also grinning from ear to ear all day long. Although there was only a 10% share of the profit, there were so many people who soaked in the medicinal pools. Cultivators of their own sect garnered 500,000 spirit stones a month, and those from outside in 2.5 million spirit stones a month. Looking at a lot of spirit stones every day, Elder Zhou felt like he was dreaming. In the past, the people he admired the most were the five Elders in the Mining Area. He thought it was great that they could earn a large amount of spirit stones every day in the Mining Area. But now, he doesn’t envy those people at all. What’s so good about mines? The disciples there were exposed to the wind and the sun every day, and sometimes had to fight to the death with other forces that tried to snatch the mine veins, how dangerous it was. Look at how good his situation was, lying in the pile of spirit stones and counting spirit stones every day.

When Jiang Xu came to the Medicinal Pool Area, he saw many Elders from the outer sect and their disciples queuing up at the gate to buy ID cards. Seeing Lingyun Sect’s cultivators Jiang Yingxue, Fang Xing, Liao Shanshan, Bu Qingqing, Bu Sisi and Ling Hao who were queuing up, Jiang Xu blinked.This Jiang Yingxue is really active, she is indispensable for everything. She was the one who represented Lingyun Sect at the Master’s wedding last time, and this time it was her again.

“Greetings to Elder Jiang.” Seeing Jiang Xu, Jiang Yingxue smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Young Master Ling, all the friends of Lingyun Sect have come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way.” Looking at the six people, Jiang Xu smiled friendly, and said in his heart,These people who came from the other sects are all idiots. Masters with a lot of money, the cost of one person is equal to the cost of five people, but they are still willing to come. It’s really not bad for spirit stones.

“Congratulations to Elder Jiang for advancing to the Spiritual Ancestor Realm and becoming an Elder in the Medicinal Pool Area.” Smiling, Jiang Yingxue said politely.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang is over praising, it’s just a fluke to advance.” Smiling, Jiang Xu answered very modestly.

“Elder Jiang, why don’t I see Fellow Daoist Liu? Isn’t Fellow Daoist Liu with you?” Ling Hao asked with a smile.

“Oh, Mufeng is doing alchemy in seclusion, he won’t be coming out for the time being.” In the past two years, Mufeng spent most of his time learning alchemy with Master Uncle, or going to the Book Collection Pavilion to read alchemy books. However, in the past year, Mufeng went to the bracelet dimension and started to refine the seventh-level pills. Mufeng said that he would refine some more pills, as many cultivators in the North didn’t recognize spirit stones, and most clans liked to barter. The medicinal pills were more effective than spirit stones there.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” No wonder when they went to Pill Peak before, the protective formations were raised on the entire Pill Peak. It turned out that Liu Mufeng was in seclusion.

“Have you bought your ID cards?” Looking at the six people, Jiang Xu asked with a smile.

“Oh, we already got it. We waited for a month and finally got the ID card for the Lightning Bath Pool. There is also the ID card for the Golden Lotus Jade Pool. We pre-ordered it, and we were able to get the ID card in three months. Elder Jiang’s business is really booming.” Having said this, Ling Hao smiled wryly. Before coming here, he thought that there would be medicinal pool bubbles here, but it turned out not to be. Everyone was equal here, whether it was an Elder or a disciple, they had to queue up. After they came, they began to make reservations for the four kinds of medicinal pools, and they had already come for more than a year, but they only soaked in the Spiritual Flame Pool and the Concupiscence Pool. Today, they could soak in the Lightning Bath Pool, and they would soak in the Golden Lotus Jade Pool three months later.

“That’s right, that fellow Liu Mufeng knows the characters of the Stone Clan.”Bu Sisi said with a frown. She also envied Liu Mufeng very much.

“Master, I saw a net under the pond. All the spiritual herbs are protected under the net. There are a total of 323 kinds of spiritual plants and flowers, but many of them are extinct spiritual herbs in the east.” Fang Xing said in consternation.

“It should be the spiritual herbs brought by Liu Mufeng from the Ruins of the Stone Clan.” Thinking of this, Ling Hao frowned.

“Everyone, don’t lift that net. There is a formation on that net. Once someone touches it, the cultivators of Lingwu Sect will immediately notice it.” Bu Sisi warned everyone seriously.

“Yes, I have seen that formation too. It is a spiritual gathering array. Once someone moves the net and the spiritual plants and flowers under the net, they will be discovered immediately.” Nodding, Bu Qingqing said the same.

“This Liu Mufeng is really shrewd.” Frowning, Ling Hao couldn’t help admiring Liu Mufeng’s cunning.

Looking at the other five people, Liao Shanshan, who was once arrogant, was unusually quiet at the moment. Ever since the incident with the Stone Clan Ruins happened, Liao Shanshan suddenly became taciturn. On ordinary days, she was either doing alchemy or cultivation and talked a lot less. There was no more arrogance.

Regarding Liao Shanshan’s matter, although both the Sect and her family investigated. However, her own five-year memory had been washed away, and even she didn’t know who that man was, and no one else could find out, so this matter had become an unsolved case.

The six people entered the medicinal pool and felt the power of lightning in the medicinal pool.

Ling Hao couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. “This medicinal pool is very good, it is very suitable for cultivators to stabilize their strength and exercise their physique.”

“Yes, it is indeed very good. Like the Spiritual Flame Pool, it is a medicinal pool to solidify one’s strength.” Nodding, Fang Xing agreed.

“I heard that a cultivator from Zunhuang Sect triggered the alarm yesterday and was thrown out by Jiang Xu. I don’t know what the other party did?” Bu Sisi was very curious about this.

“I went to inquire about it, and I heard that the guy opened the ventilation net to steal the spiritual herbs. So when he lifted the net, the ID card on his body kept ringing, letting Jiang Xu find out. That person was then thrown out.” At this point, Jiang Yingxue sighed.

“I don’t think it’s someone else who did it. Maybe Huangfu Yu himself did it, and found someone to cover for him.” The ID cards were the same, and six people could soak in a pool. If the ID card was changed, people outside would not be able to find it at all. Therefore, Ling Hao felt that Huangfu Yu was most likely responsible for this matter. If he hadn’t brought along his Sister-in-Law who was proficient in arrays, maybe he would have set the net.

“En, it’s also possible what the Young Master said, but no matter what, we have taken it as a warning. If Jiang Xu really throws us out, it would be too embarrassing.” After all, this was not the Lingyun Sect, so Jiang Yingxue thought it’s better for them to act more cautiously.

“Elder Jiang is right, we can’t lose face here.” Nodding, Ling Hao deeply agreed.

At night, looking at his lover who appeared in front of him, Jiang Xu was overjoyed. “Mufeng, have you left seclusion?”

“En, I’m out of seclusion.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng smiled and greeted his lover, hugging him into his arms.

“You smell like pills.” Sniffing, Jiang Xu couldn’t help frowning.

Looking at his lover who looked disgusted, Liu Mufeng was happy. “Why, do you dislike it?”

“It’s not disgusting, it’s because I’m worried that you’ve worked too hard.” As he spoke, Jiang Xu took out a bathtub and let his lover take a bath.

Looking at the bathtub and warm spring water prepared by his lover, Liu Mufeng smiled and stroked his lover’s hair, took off his clothes in front of his wife, and stepped into the bathtub.

“Add more spiritual water, it will be more comfortable to soak in that way.” Jiang Xu said with a smile.

“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng followed suit. Added some spiritual water into the tub.

Standing beside Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu put his hands on the man’s shoulders, and gently kneaded them. “Are you tired?”

“No, it’s not hard for me to cultivate while refining alchemy, it’s just that the smell of medicine on my clothes is relatively strong.” Liu Mufeng assured his worried wife.

“Don’t I know you yet? When you get busy, you can’t take care of anything.” Jiang Xu complained a little.

“Seeing you, all my fatigue is gone.” Taking his lover’s hand, Liu Mufeng smiled and kissed the back of his beloved’s hand.

“You’re over five hundred years old, and still have a glib tongue.” Jiang Xu had a sweet smile on his lips.

“I’m telling the truth. Everything a person does is boring. Everything you do is meaningful only if you have someone around you who can share your joy and pain. And you are that person, being by my side makes me feel that my life, my life, and everything I do is particularly meaningful.”

Jiang Xu pursed his lips and smiled. “You, you can coax me with nice words.”

“I speak from the bottom of my heart.” Staring at his wife, Liu Mufeng said every word very seriously.

“I know.” Lowering his head, Jiang Xu took the initiative to kiss his lover’s lips.

Encircling his lover’s waist, Liu Mufeng directly hugged him into his arms, deepening the kiss…
