Walking into the guest room, looking at the luxuriously decorated room, Jiang Xu nodded in satisfaction. Liu Mufeng sent Shi Zhe away directly and then placed a barrier on the entire yard.
“Boss, you are too powerful. You have gotten one billion spirit stones so easily.” Flying out of Liu Mufeng’s sleeve, Jin Xiao had a look of admiration.
“Master, Shi Zhe’s spiritual root has been destroyed for three years, and the fracture has grown very smooth. It will be difficult to reconnect the spiritual root.” Xiaoyuan frowned. She turned into her human form and landed beside Liu Mufeng.
“It’s okay, I’ve seen it, and there are still two-thirds remaining of his spiritual roots. Before we connect it, we will cut off the remaining two-thirds of the spiritual roots for him. Then we’ll renew it for him, in that case the renewal will be easier.” Liu Mufeng naturally considered this point long ago.
“En, then there is no problem.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan agreed.
“Mufeng, do you have Fire Spiritual Roots? Do you need to buy slaves?” Jiang Xu asked.
“It’s okay, there is no need to buy slaves. I still have a lot of well preserved spiritual roots in stock here. I will go to the bracelet dimension tonight and pick a thick Fire Spiritual Root and warm it on the Flaming Cloud Tree for a while, wait for the spiritual root to strengthen well before transplanting.”
“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.
“Although we earned more spirit stones this time, we have to stay here for three months. It’s too long.” Xiaoxiao felt a bit disgruntled.
“Of course we have to earn spirit stones. Otherwise, it would be a pity to miss them in vain. Besides, if the City Lord Shi was unwilling to let us leave, it would not be good for us to leave forcibly. After all, the other party is a cultivator in the Spiritual Sacred Realm. It’s good to make friends. There is no need to offend.” Liu Mufeng knew very well that if Shi Zhentian insisted on them staying, he andXiaoXu would definitely not be opponents.
“That’s right, that City Lord Shi is quite powerful, we are no match for him.” Nodding, Jiang Xu said the same.
“It’s been a tiring day, everyone, let’s take a rest. I was told by Shi Zhe that this courtyard is ours for the time being. You can each have a room.” Liu Mufeng looked at the five demon beasts.

These ten pills were the betrothal gift Shi Zhentian gave to Fang Wanxiong a year ago. One year has already passed, and all ten pills had already been consumed by Fang Wanxiong’s Eldest Son, Fang Hong. There was no way to return it to the Shi family, so the Fang family was now in a difficult situation.
Looking at the dejected parents who came back, the Eldest Son, Fang Hong, the Second Son, Fang Ming and Fang Tingting all came up to welcome them.
“Father, how was it?” Fang Hong asked. After taking the Spiritual Cultivation Pills, Fang Hong had fully recovered.
“Oh, Shi Zhentian didn’t agree to the marriage, and asked us to return the dowry.” Fang Wanxiong sighed and sat on the chair.
“Moreover, Madam Shi also said that your Little Sister was indiscreet, flirting with air bandits on the public airship, and offending the Elders of Lingwu Sect. They said they would not dare to take such troublesome person as their daughter-in-law.” Madam Fang gave her daughter a sideways glance.
“Father, Mother, don’t worry, drink some tea.” As he spoke, Fang Ming hurriedly served spirit tea to his parents.
“If the Shi family do not want to continue this marriage, then we’d better return the pills to them.” Fang Hong frowned helplessly.
“But the problem is where would we get the pills?” Fang Wanxiong was very helpless.
“Doesn’t Elder Liu Mufeng live here? Can’t we buy pills from him and return to the Shi family, right?” Fang Hong said as he looked at his Father. He also didn’t want his Younger Sister to marry someone she didn’t like for his sake.
“Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu didn’t give the Fang family an audience. Your Father and I just walked to the gate of the courtyard, and we were stopped by Liu Mufeng’s beast pet.” At this point, Madam Fang glanced at her daughter resentfully.
“Don’t want to see us? Why?” Fang Hong was very confused about this. Obviously Liu Mufeng was doing business with the Shi family, why didn’t he want to do business with the Fang family?
“You have to ask your Younger Sister about this.” Fang Wanxiong looked at his daughter coldly.
Fang Hong and Fang Ming also turned to look at Fang Tingting.
“I, this incident wasn’t my fault in the first place, it was obviously Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu…” Before Fang Tingting could finish speaking, Fang Wanxiong slapped her directly.
“You still have the guts to say this? If you hadn’t run away from home and sneaked to the Shi family’s house to break the marriage alliance, would your Mother and I have been so passive? If it wasn’t for you offending Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu for what happened on the airship, would we have been unable to even buy a single Spiritual Cultivation Pill? If I had known that you were such a scourge, I should have slapped you to death when you were born.” Looking at his Daughter who was not good enough to accomplish anything, Fang Wanxiong’s teeth itched with anger.
“Father, Father…” Fang Tingting cried bitterly as she covered her cheeks.
“Why are you crying? You still have the face to cry? You can even do something like run away from home. If it wasn’t for your willfulness, how could your Fifth Senior Brother Zhang Bin die? You are disobedient!” Madam Fang was also full of anger at her Daughter.
“Mom!” Looking at her parents who were so strict with her, Fang Tingting was dumbfounded. In the past, no matter how self-willed she was, her parents would turn a blind eye to things that she did, but now, her father actually hit her, and her mother didn’t stand by her anymore. How did this happen, how did this happen?
“Father, if Liu Mufeng’s side doesn’t work, let’s try other channels?” Fang Ming suggested.
“It’s useless. Only the Lingwu Sect has this Spiritual Cultivation Pill, and the Lingwu Sect’s control is extremely strict. The Shi family could get the pills because there is a Shi Li in the Shi family who is a core disciple of the Lingwu Sect. Moreover, I heard that Shi Li has a very good relationship with Liu Mufeng. He is Liu Mufeng’s sparring partner and often practices martial arts with Liu Mufeng. Therefore, the Shi family obtained ten Spiritual Cultivation Pills through Shi Li’s help. We don’t have such a channel. Lingwu City used to sell ten pills every month. Recently, due to the shortage of spiritual herbs supply, it has been changed to sell 10 pills publicly every year, and the pills will be auctioned. Therefore, even though there are spirit stones, you can’t buy pills, and the situation is very bad.” Fang Wanxiong sighed repeatedly at this point.
“Father, Mother, Second Brother, Little Sister, don’t worry about this matter. I used up the medicine. I’ll go to Uncle Shi. At worst, I will stay in the Shi family for the rest of my life as a cow and a horse for the Shi family. I will pay back for the Shi family’s pills.” Fang Hong said so.
“Elder Brother, what are you talking about? How can this be done?” Shaking his head, Fang Ming directly refused.
“That’s right, even if you are willing to stay with the Shi family as a cow and a horse, the Shi family doesn’t need you.” Fang Wanxiong sighed again.
“Father, why don’t we compensate them with spirit stones? Can’t spirit stones work?” Fang Ming asked.
“No, City Lord Shi said that the price of Spiritual Cultivation Pills has been increasing all the time. Pills are more valuable than spirit stones. He doesn’t want spirit stones but only pills.” Fang Wanxiong was quite upset with this matter.
“I, I’ll go find Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, and I’ll apologize to them and ask them to sell us the pills.” Fang Tingting suggested.
“Yes, Liu Mufeng is the one who can take out ten Spiritual Cultivation Pills in one go.” Nodding, Fang Ming thought that finding Liu Mufeng was the way to go.
“Alright, then let’s ask Liu Mufeng again to see if the other party agrees.” After thinking about it, Fang Wanxiong also felt that the only way was to ask Liu Mufeng to buy the pills.
“I heard that Jiang Xu likes to eat desserts. Tomorrow I’ll go to the city to buy more spiritual fruits and snacks. Then we will go and visit.” After thinking about it, Madam Fang came up with an idea as well.
“That’s right, that’s right, bring a gift for a visit, and our family of five will go together tomorrow.” Nodding, Fang Wanxiong agreed.
Seeing the serious and solemn expressions on the faces of her Father, Mother, Eldest Brother and Second Brother, Fang Tingting felt very sad. In fact, she had just nominally said she would apologize. She thought that her parents would be reluctant to make her suffer and would not make her apologize. She thought that in the hearts of the two Brothers, she was more important than those ten pills, but it turned out that she was wrong. She never thought that in the eyes of her relatives, she was not as good as ten pills. Thinking of this, Fang Tingting’s heart was chilled. She suddenly felt that her family had once doted on her, in order to possibly make her obediently marry this waste of a man, Shi Zhe, but she herself ran to withdraw from the marriage, so everything had changed, her family no longer loved her, no longer cared for her. No longer cared about her feelings.
Looking at such a loved one, Fang Tingting felt so strange and heartbroken.
“Tingting, tomorrow when you go to Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu’s courtyard, you have to sincerely apologize to them, and, you also have to be grateful for their kindness in saving you on the airship. You have to show your sincerity, okay?” Fang Wanxiong advised his daughter.
At those words, Fang Tingting’s face changed. “I know, Father.”
“Tingting, it’s up to you whether this matter can be done.” Madam Fang reiterated seriously.
“Got it, Mother.” Nodding her head sullenly, Fang Tingting’s face was extremely ugly.
