Back in the cabin, Liu Mufeng waved his hand and sealed the entire room.
Flying out from the sleeves of Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, the five beasts all lay on the table.
“Aiya, you two are really something, you actually let a huge pile of spirit stones get away.” Jin Xiao said in a depressed mood.
“That’s right Boss, that Gui Jianchou was only three stars in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm. With so many of us, we must be able to beat him. Why did you let him go?”
“That’s right, even if that Gui Jianchou ran away, the remaining three were three million spirit stones each, you shouldn’t have let them go.” The Black Panther also felt a little unreconciled.
“I know, with your abilities, even ifXiaoXu and I don’t take action, you can still deal with the seventeen air bandits. But the problem is that the space on the aircraft is too narrow. If we really fight the air bandits on the aircraft, we could have destroyed it. There are more than 200 cultivators on this aircraft. They were all poisoned at the time. If the aircraft is destroyed, they would fall from a high altitude and they wouldn’t have been able to use their spiritual power to protect themselves. In this case, those with better physical skills may still survive, but those with poor physical skills could only be thrown to death.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng sighed. In any case, there were more than two hundred lives, and there was no injustice or enmity. He really had no reason to kill.
“Master is right, if this aircraft is destroyed, we will have no aircraft to ride on, and we will be in trouble then.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan agreed with Liu Mufeng’s opinion.
“Forget it, let’s just miss out on the spirit stones, fighting to the death and involving more than two hundred innocent cultivators. It’s really not very proper.” With a sigh, Jiang Xu also understood that it was useless to regret now.
“Boss Liu, if you run away, run away. Don’t you still have the detoxification pill on your body? Why didn’t you sell more?” Pangpang asked in confusion.
“The pills in my hand can’t be sold, we have to keep them for ourselves, in case we sell the pills, what if we are unlucky one day and encounter this kind of thing again? Do you guys think it’s easy to refine an antidote to poison? Let me tell you, refining this pill is actually very troublesome. Because there are three poisonous weeds in these detoxification pills that only the Snake Clan have. Therefore, the antidote is difficult to prepare, so we have to save more.”
“So that’s how it is.” Nodding their heads, everyone expressed their understanding.
“Mufeng, this antidote is made from poisonous weeds of the Snake Clan. What about the poison? Could it be made by the Snake Clan too?”
“Yes, Ten Miles of Fragrance is a poison originally derived from the Snake Clan, but some powerful poison refiners in the Five Poison Sect of the human race can also prepare it. But, if you go to Sanyuan Town, it would be easy to find the Snake Clan there to buy this poison from them.”
“So that’s how it is.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“En, maybe. Looking at her condescending and proud appearance, she should be a young lady from the City Lord’s residence.” Liu Mufeng felt that the girl was not badly dressed and her temperament was noble, in all probability she was really a young lady of the City Lord’s residence.

Touching the bracelet on his wrist, Jiang Xu smiled foolishly.
Two months later, the aircraft successfully arrived at the first-tier city – Hui City.
After getting off the aircraft, Fang Tingting, who had recovered from her injuries, went directly to Hui City’s City Lord’s Mansion.
Hearing that Fang Tingting was coming, Hui City’s Lord – Shi Zhentian, the City Lord’s Wife, and the Sixth Young Master – Shi Zhe, all came to the hall and waited to meet her.
Not long after, Fang Tingting was led into the living room by the servant. “Tingting pays respects to Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi, and Sixth Young Master.” Lowering her head, Fang Tingting hurriedly saluted.
“Tingting, don’t be too polite, just sit down.” After speaking, Madam Shi got up and supported Fang Tingting up, and pulled her to sit aside.
“Tingting, it’s been a while since you came.” Shi Zhentian said with a smile.
“That’s right, it’s been a while.” Looking at her future daughter-in-law, Madam Shi said the same thing.
Looking at the Shi family couple, Fang Tingting looked uncomfortable. “Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi, in fact, in fact, I’m here today to, to withdraw from the marriage.”
Hearing this, Madam Shi’s loving smile instantly collapsed. Her face became extremely ugly.
Looking at this little girl, City Master Shi’s face was also very ugly. “Withdraw? You and my Zhe‘ergrew up together as childhood sweethearts. You actually want to withdraw?”
“Uncle Shi, Aunt Shi. It’s me who has wronged your Shi family. This is my marriage letter with Brother Zhe, I, I can’t marry Brother Zhe. I’m sorry.” Fang Tingting took out the marriage letter and put it on the table. .
Seeing Fang Tingting with a guilty expression, Shi Zhe smiled wryly. “A useless person like me is indeed not worthy of you, the Young Lady of the City Lord’s Mansion. Since you want to divorce, then divorce.” Three years ago, when Shi Zhe went out for training, he met Gui Jianchou’s group of air bandits. Besieged by the opponent, although he escaped by chance and did not die in the opponent’s hands, he was seriously injured and his spiritual root was destroyed. Therefore, now Shi Zhe was no longer the cultivation genius he used to be, instead a useless person.
“Brother Zhe, I’m sorry. I, I don’t want to marry an ordinary person.” Fang Tingting apologized repeatedly. Although she felt guilty and reluctant, she didn’t want to marry a useless person. If she married a useless person like Shi Zhe, then her life would be ruined.
“Tingting, Zhe’er’sproblem is not unsolvable. Lingwu Sect has a…”
“Madam.” City Master Shi interrupted his Wife’s words.
“Mother, stop talking.” Shi Zhe shook his head. Third cousin Shi Li had sent a message back saying that Senior Liu Mufeng of the Lingwu Sect had developed a medicinal pill for repairing the spiritual root called the Repairing Spiritual Root Pill. And he cured Elder Qian’s son Qian Feng with this pill. However, seniors like Liu Mufeng were not so easy to invite. Moreover, they heard from the Third Cousin that before he could find the chance to invite him, the other party had already gone out for training. He didn’t know where he went. So Shi Zhe didn’t have much hope for this matter.
“Son.” Madam. Shi’s eyes had reddened with distress.
“Tingting, since you don’t like my son and want to withdraw from the marriage, then I will help you. However, a year ago, your Father and I agreed to marry you and Zhe‘erin three months. And, I also sent out the dowry. Since you are here to withdraw the engagement, please return the dowry.” Looking at Fang Tingting, Shi Zhentian said so.
“A dowry? What dowry?” Fang Tingting asked in a confused manner. Her Father didn’t tell her about this. He only said that she would marry Shi Zhe in three months, but he didn’t say that there would be any betrothal gift.
“Ten Spiritual Cultivation Pills. I entrusted my Nephew to buy these pills from the Lingwu Sect. It took a lot of effort to get them. Since you want to withdraw, please return the pills to me.” Shi Zhentian asked for the pills.
“This, this…”
Seeing Fang Tingting’s embarrassed face, Madam Shi was furious. “Miss Fang, what do you mean by this? Since you don’t want to marry my son, then you should return my family’s betrothal gift in full. What’s the matter, you don’t want to marry my son, and you don’t want to return our pills? Are you taking advantage of my Shi family?”
“No, no, Aunt Shi, please don’t get me wrong. I didn’t know about the dowry. Now, I’ll go back and ask my Father about it.” Fang Tingting said in embarrassment looking at City Lord Shi.
“No need, I’ll send a message to your Father right now.” As he spoke, Shi Zhentian took out the messenger jade pendant and sent a message to Fang Tingting’s Father, Fang Wanxiong. Not long after, Fang Wanxiong replied to the message.
“Your Father said that he is on his way here and will arrive in three days. He asked you to stay with me first, and talk about you and Shi Zhe when he arrives.” With that said, Shi Zhentian handed the jade pendant to Fang Tingting.
Seeing her Father’s reply, Fang Tingting nodded. She ran out secretly this time, she didn’t expect her Father to find out so soon. Her Father asked so many Spiritual Cultivation Pills from the Shi family, it must be for the Elder Brother. Her Elder Brother was a cultivator in the Spiritual Profound Realm, but he was seriously injured 30 years ago, his soul power was extremely damaged, and became foolish. If there were Spiritual Cultivation Pills, perhaps the Elder Brother could recover. However, for the sake of her Elder Brother, her Father had her marry a useless man. How could she be content with this?
“Okay, I’ll bother Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi.” Fang Tingting said obediently while lowering her head.
“Reporting to the City Lord.” Walking in, a guard saluted the City Lord Shi respectfully.
“What’s the matter?” City Lord Shi asked.
“City Lord, two Elders from Lingwu Sect have come and said they want to see the City Lord.” As he spoke, the guard handed Shi Zhentian a waist pendant.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Shi Zhentian hurriedly got up, took the badge from the guard’s hand, and looked at it carefully. It was the silver colored waist pendant worn by the Second-tier Elders of the Lingwu Sect.
“What does this person look like? Do you know his name?” City Lord Shi asked again.
“The other party said that his surname is Liu, and he is a very handsome Elder. Judging from his hand bones, he should not exceed a thousand years old.”
“No more than a thousand years old, surnamed Liu, is it?” Thinking of that person, City Lord Shi was shocked.
“Liu Mufeng? Is it Liu Mufeng?” Looking at her husband, Madam Shi asked in disbelief.
“Please, quickly invite them in.”
“Yes City Lord.” In response, the guard turned and left.
