Ch411 - The Devourer

Half a month later…

Mu Yuan and Mu Liang, cultivators from the Wood Clan, came together to give Liu Mufeng spiritual herbs. In the past, when Xuanxuan was not in seclusion, they would deliver spiritual herbs once every three days, but after Xuanxuan went into seclusion, the demand for spiritual herbs was not as much as before, the spiritual herbs being delivered to Liu Mufeng’s side became once every ten days. Although Liu Mufeng had reduced the demand for spiritual herbs, he was still a major customer of the Wood Clan, even though it was only three purchases per month, he still purchased a large number of spiritual herbs.

“Alchemist Liu, has AlchemistXiaoLiu returned to the Human Race? Why haven’t I seen him for so many days?” Mu Liang asked curiously.

“Oh, something happened to the sect, and Xuanxuan has returned to the sect. So, I don’t use as much spiritual herbs here as before.” Liu Mufeng replied with a smile.

“It turns out that AlchemistXiaoLiu has returned to the sect.” Mu Liang felt it was a pity. He thought that if AlchemistXiaoLiu hadn’t left, then Alchemist Liu wouldn’t need so little spiritual herbs.

“Alchemist Liu, there is something I want to ask you.” Mu Yuan asked nervously.

“Oh? Daoist Friend Mu, please ask me anything.” Although the two Wood Clan cultivators were both at the Spiritual Emperor Realm, Liu Mufeng has never looked down on these two whose strength was lower than his own. Both parties had always done business on a fair basis. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu also treated the two of them with courtesy.

“Alchemist Liu, there is an Elder in our clan. His symptoms are somewhat similar to those of the Great Elder’s wife of the Crystal Clan. He is also insane. However, his soul power was not damaged, but infested with insects. Can you have a look at this disease and see if there’s any cure?” Mu Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng frowned.

“Insects? Insects? How come?” Looking at the two of them, Jiang Xu looked confused.

“It’s not an ordinary insect. We are people of the Wood Clan, not a human clan. Our bodies are all trees. So it’s easy to get this disease. There are quite a few cultivators in our clan who suffer from this disease.” Mu Yuan frowned .

“Is it the Soul-Devouring Spirit Insects?” Liu Mufeng asked.

Hearing this, both Mu Yuan and Mu Liang looked at Liu Mufeng in shock. Their eyes were full of admiration. “Alchemist Liu, you, do you know this?”

“An eighth-level cultivator, I’m afraid I don’t have the ability to heal them well. However, if you want to try, you can send two low-strength cultivators over and I’ll try to cure them. If the cure is good, I will charge for it. If the cure is not good, I don’t want any reward.” Liu Mufeng said so.

“But the low-strength cultivators in our clan are relatively poor. They can’t afford 8,000 Wood Crystals.” Mu Yuan said in embarrassment. The reason why he spoke about that Elder to Liu Mufeng was because that Elder was rich. It would be difficult for other people to afford the cost of treatment.

“It doesn’t matter, if they can’t afford the Wood Crystals, you can use other methods to compensate. The cultivators of the Wood Clan are all natural spiritual planters. If I cure them and they can’t pay, I can let them breed spiritual plants in my yard, or let them go to the mountains to find some precious and rare spiritual herbs for me to exchange, it doesn’t have to be Wood Crystals. I am very interested in the matter of Soul-Devouring Spirit Insects.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said so.

“That’s good, then thank you Alchemist Liu.” After the agreement was made, the two cultivators from the Wood Clan left happily.

“Mufeng, that Soul-Devouring Insect sounds scary. Isn’t this thing dangerous?” Jiang Xu was very worried.

“No, the Soul-Devouring Insect is the nemesis of the Wood Clan, but it is a great tonic for human cultivators. If you can get the Soul-Devouring Insect and make it into a medicinal pill, it can increase the soul power of the cultivator. You know, I am an alchemist, and this kind of thing that can increase the soul power is naturally something that can be encountered but not sought after.” The nemesis of the Wood Clan was something that human cultivators dream of acquiring. Thinking about it, neither Mu Yuan nor Mu Liang would have thought about the great benefits of this insect.

“So that’s how it is. I was thinking on why did you suddenly want to lose money?” Jiang Xu understood the purpose of the insect.

“No, this is not a loss-making business. If I can get Soul-Devouring Insect to refine auxiliary spiritual pills and take them to the auction of the Human Race, you can sell them at sky-high prices. It is no problem to buy one pill for more than a billion spirit stones.” Liu Mufeng answered with a smile.

“It’s so valuable!” Jiang Xu’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

“Of course, it’s a rare commodity. The raw material of this kind of pill is simply not found in the East. Therefore, this pill is also a kind of pill that cannot be refined without a prescription and without spiritual herbs.”

“I see.” Nodding his head, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“The problem now is how to take out the Soul-Devouring Insects from the body of the Wood Clan.XiaoXu, I’m going to the bracelet dimension to discuss with Xiaoyuan, Xiaoxiao, and Senior Shi. If someone comes these two days, you just say that I am in seclusion.” Liu Mufeng said.

“Okay, I understand.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

The Crystal Clan,

The clansmen began to sing and dance around the bonfire to celebrate Tezha and Yana’s wedding. The scene was extremely lively. To the Crystal King’s surprise, the Third Prince of the Fire Clan and the Fifth Princess of the Gold Clan brought their Elders to attend Tezha’s wedding. Although the three clans were friendly nations, only when the Princess and Prince of the friendly clan got married would other clans send representatives to attend. With an identity like Tezha, it was reasonable to say that the wedding could only be held within the clan, and foreign clans did not need to come to congratulate .

“The Third Prince and the Fifth Princess came from afar, we humbly ask forgiveness for the poor hospitality.” Following his Father’s order, the Eldest Prince specially came to entertain these two distinguished guests.

“Eldest Prince, you are overthinking. The bonfire dance and hand-carried meat are not only a feast for my eyes, but also a feast for my mouth. Our trip is worthwhile.” Huo Yan, the Third Prince of the Fire Clan, smiled lightly.

“The Third Prince is right. I have heard for a long time that the bonfire dance of the Crystal Clan is unprecedentedly prosperous. Seeing it today really deserves its reputation.” Nodding, the Fifth Princess said the same.

“The two Fellow Daoists are too polite.” The Eldest Prince Ke Bo smiled and said in his heart,why did these two come here? They didn’t just come to Tezha’s wedding for no reason, right?

Ke Bo chatted awkwardly with the two for a long time, and finally when it came time to toast the visitors, Tezha and Yana came over with wine jugs and poured a glass of wine for each of the three. “Thank you very much to the Eldest Prince, Third Prince and Fifth Princess for coming to our wedding.”

“Warrior Tezha, I wish you and your bride a lifetime of love and an early baby.” Raising his glass, the Third Prince, Huo Yan, sent his blessing.

“Yes, I wish you all love and happiness, and many children and grandchildren to come.” As she said, the Fifth Princess, Jin Zhi, also raised her wine glass.

“I wish you a happy wedding and a lifetime of happiness.” Seeing that the other two had sent their blessings, the Eldest Prince immediately sent his blessings as well.

“Thank you, Eldest Prince, Third Prince, and Fifth Princess.” Lowering their heads, Tezha and his wife hastily expressed their gratitude.

After drinking the wine, Huo Yan looked at Tezha. “I heard that Warrior Tezha has a good friendship with Liu Mufeng, the Alchemist of the Human Race. In order to celebrate Warrior Tezha’s wedding, Liu Mufeng specially gave two seventh-level Golden Rock Pills as a wedding gift.”

Tezha smiled wryly. “The Third Prince is really well-informed with the news.”

“Human cultivators have always been cunning. If we exchange for the Rejuvenation Pills and Energy Pills with them, they will be very happy with the exchange. However, if we want to exchange for pills that help increase strength, they will not be willing to exchange them. I didn’t expect Liu Mufeng to be so generous. He just gave away two pills to help a cultivator advance to the Spiritual Venerable Realm. It seems that the relationship between Warrior Tezha and Liu Mufeng is unusual.” Speaking of this, the Fifth Princess laughed.

“Mufeng and I are just ordinary friends, but it’s Mufeng who is more generous.” With a smile, Tezha said helplessly, thinking:Are these two here to attend the wedding? Or are you here to inquire?

“Warrior Tezha, I heard that the Great Elder’s Wife has recovered. It was Liu Mufeng who cured her.”

“Yes.” Nodding, Tezha did not deny it.

“My clan also has a few clansmen with damaged soul power. I wonder if Liu Mufeng is willing to heal them?” Looking at Tezha, the Third Prince of the Fire Clan asked worriedly.

“I don’t know about this, but if the Third Prince wants to send someone to Mufeng for treatment, I can be a middleman for you. But, how to treat them, whether he can cure your clansmen well, and how much will be paid, this is for you two to discuss on your own.” Looking at Huo Yan, Tezha said so.

“If that’s the case, then I would like to thank Warrior Tezha. This is the wedding gift prepared by our Fire Clan.” As he said, Huo Yan sent out the wedding gift.

“Thank you, Third Prince.” Lowering his head, Tezha accepted the other party’s gift.

“If that’s the case, I’d like to ask Warrior Tezha to recommend our Gold Clan as well. My Eldest Brother’s spiritual root has been damaged for many years, and he has been relying on pills to continue his life. If Liu Mufeng can restore my Eldest Brother’s spiritual root, my Eldest Brother may be able to cultivate again.” Thinking of her Eldest Brother, the Fifth Princess frowned deeply.

“Okay, I will contact Mufeng first, and after the contact is made, I will confirm the time and then notify the Third Prince and the Fifth Princess. When the time comes, the two of you will bring the patient there and bring the reward.”

“If that’s the case, then I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Tezha for the trouble. This is a wedding gift from my Gold Clan to Fellow Daoist Tezha.”

“Thank you Fifth Princess.” Nodding, Tezha accepted the gift from the other party.
