Ch413 - Blood Tongue Grass

Walking into the guest room, Liu Mufeng saw Mu Fei sitting on a chair chatting with Jiang Xu.

“Mufeng, it was resolved so quickly?” Jiang Xu was very surprised to see his partner.

“En, Mu Die and Mu Liu have been infected with Soul-Devouring Insects for a relatively short period of time. I used some tricks to lure the insects out of their bodies.” Liu Mufeng smiled lightly.

“I really envy them, I was very happy when I saw them leave.” Sitting by the window, Mu Fei said enviously.

“Mu Fei, your situation is a bit troublesome. However, I have already thought of a solution. But there are certain risks. I don’t know if you are willing to try?” Liu Mufeng asked the party.

“Master Alchemist Liu, please tell me.” Mu Fei immediately asked Liu Mufeng.

“I want to cut your hair, and then, make a small hole in the seam of your skull, let my beast pet enter your sea of consciousness and take out the bugs in your head. Of course, before taking out the insects, I will use a drug to knock you out and the insects in your body at the same time. In this way, the process of taking out the insects will be smoother, but there are certain risks in doing so. So, I don’t know if you are willing or not?” Liu Mufeng asked Mu Fei seriously.

“I am willing, I am not afraid of the risk. For us wood cultivators, being infected with the Soul-Devouring Insects means death, decay, and festering into a pile of dead wood. I am not yet an adult but I will become a pile of dead wood. How can I be reconciled?” Thinking of dying like this, Mu Fei was very unwilling.

“Okay, it’s getting late today. You should go to bed early, and remember not to cultivate tonight. Tomorrow, I will use the method I said to remove the insects in your body. If it goes well, you can be like Mu Die and Mu Liu tomorrow and happily return to the Wood Clan.”

Mu Fei was ecstatic. “Alright, thank you Alchemist Liu.”

“You’re welcome. As a fee, your hair belongs to me. If I can’t succeed tomorrow, I will think of other ways to help you. The reward will be calculated at that time.”

The cultivators in the Spiritual King Realm and Spiritual Emperor Realm were relatively poor, so Liu Mufeng didn’t make things difficult for them, and directly made them choose bloodletting and haircuts to repay their debts. The policies for cultivators who have reached the Spiritual Profound Realm were relaxed. If there were no spiritual plants and Wood Crystals to pay the fee, they could choose three ways to repay the debt— bloodletting, haircut and helping Liu Mufeng plant spiritual herbs. The cultivators who had reached the Spiritual Ancestor Realm were basically rich and powerful, and they could casually take out spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, and spiritual flowers that were tens of thousands of years old, and there was no need to use other methods to pay off debts.

However, in just one month, Liu Mufeng cured most of the cultivators of the Wood Clan who were infected with Soul-Devouring Insects, and Liu Mufeng also acquired a lot of opportunities by virtue of this, not only getting a lot of Wood Crystals, precious and rare high-grade spiritual herbs, but also got the blood and hair of many wood cultivators. Of course, the most important thing was the Soul-Devouring Spirit Insects. Liu Mufeng used his small gourd to refine these insects into a milky white liquid, and then added precious spiritual herbs to refine all these insects into auxiliary spiritual pills.

Before and after treatment, Liu Mufeng had refined a total of 120 auxiliary spiritual pills. Every three days Liu Mufeng would take a pill to improve his soul power. His soul power has improved day by day, and Liu Mufeng’s alchemy became more and more smooth.

On this day, the only eighth-level cultivator of the Wood Clan who was not cured came to Liu Mufeng’s place together with his daughter. This eighth-level cultivator was Mu Zhang, an Elder of the Wood Clan, that is, the relatively wealthy elder that Mu Yuan first mentioned to Liu Mufeng. And this Elder’s daughter was also a person of great status in the Wood Clan. Her name was Mu Tao, and she was the witch doctor of the Wood Clan. She was responsible for holding some sacrificial ceremonies and simple healing work. Her status was very high, and also an eighth-level cultivator.

“Greetings to Senior Mu.” Looking at Mu Tao, Liu Mufeng immediately bowed deeply.

“Master Alchemist Liu doesn’t need to be too polite.” After waving her hands, Mu Tao said softly.

“Is this the Third Elder of the Wood Clan, Senior Mu Zhang?” Liu Mufeng asked as he looked at the unconscious, skinny white-haired old man who was carried in by four cultivators of the Wood clan.

“Yes, this is my Father. Thank you Alchemist Liu for your help. Now, except for my Father, all the cultivators of our Wood Clan who were infected with the Soul-Devouring Insects have recovered.” Mu Tao was very grateful to Liu Mufeng.

“Senior Mu, you don’t have to be polite. It’s what I should do. The strength of other people is seventh level or below, and I can heal them more easily. However, the Third Elder is an eighth-level cultivator, and his cultivation is in the Spiritual Venerable Realm. I am just a seventh-level alchemist, I’m afraid that this alchemist’s little talent and learning can’t cure the Third Elder.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng was a little embarrassed, he was just an alchemist, not a god, and he was able to heal others because their strength was relatively low. But this Elder was highly respected in the Wood Clan, and he was about to run out of breath, so there was probably nothing he could do.

“Yes, my Father has been infected by the Soul-Devouring Insects for a long time, and his strength was too high, so many pills were not suitable for him. Therefore, it is indeed not easy to cure him. However, any treatment is a glimmer of hope, and I don’t want to give up. I want to stay here and take care of my Father, and at the same time, study with Alchemist Liu on the treatment plan for my Father. In addition, I also want to learn how to prepare and make medicinal soup that could lure Soul-Devouring Insects with Alchemist Liu. If possible, I would also like to buy a batch of pills that kill insect eggs.” Mu Tao put forward her own request.

“Senior Mu, this…”

“Don’t worry, after everything is done, I will pay the corresponding rewards. I won’t let you work in vain. In addition, let me learn some methods to deal with the Soul-Devouring Insects, which is also the King’s intention. After all, Alchemist Liu is a human cultivator, and it is impossible to stay in Sanyuan Town for the rest of his life, so we, the Wood Clan, also hope to learn some treatment methods related to this aspect. However, we will never cross rivers and tear down bridges to treat Alchemist Liu badly.” With that said, Mu Tao took out a jade box, opened it and handed it to Liu Mufeng.

Looking at the spiritual plant in the box, Liu Mufeng was shocked. “Blood Tongue Grass?” It turned out to be the eighth-level spiritual plant Blood Tongue Grass, which was exactly a spiritual plant that his Master lacked.

“Yes, I heard from Mu Yuan that Alchemist Liu wanted 10,000-year-old Blood Tongue Grass. This Blood Tongue Grass is a 30,000-year-old spiritual plant. As long as Alchemist Liu is generous enough to teach me some ways to repel the insects, with the ability and the recipe for luring out the insects, this spiritual plant can be given to Alchemist Liu. In addition, if Alchemist Liu has other spiritual herbs that he needs in the future, if the Wood Clan has them, we can also give priority to trade with Alchemist Liu” Mu Tao said so.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng nodded. “Since Senior Mu is so sincere, it’s hard for me to refuse. However, my house doesn’t have many rooms, so only Senior Mu and the Third Elder can live here, and the others will have to leave.” Liu Mufeng looked at the others as he said.

“Yes.” Nodding, Mu Tao agreed to Liu Mufeng’s request.

Mu Tao was very generous, and Liu Mufeng couldn’t refuse, so he left the Father and Daughter to stay. Together with Mu Tao, he studied the condition of the Third Elder.

A few days later, Tezha brought the Third Prince of the Fire Clan and six other cultivators of the Fire Clan to visit Liu Mufeng.

“Mufeng. I heard that you have solved the problem of the Soul-Devouring Insects of the Wood Clan. You are really amazing. The Wood Clan has had this disease for many years.” Looking at his friend, Tezha expressed admiration .

“Oh, it’s nothing, it’s just luck.” Liu Mufeng said, smiling modestly.

“You, you’re just too modest.” Mufeng was like this every time, he was always so humble in his words and deeds.

“I’m sorry Tezha, I’ve been busy with the Wood Clan’s affairs recently, and kept you and the Fire Clan friends waiting for a long time.” At this point, Liu Mufeng smiled at the Fire Clan cultivators.

“Alchemist Liu is too polite. This humble one is the Third Prince of the Fire Clan, Huo Yan, and the six warriors behind me are the warriors of the Fire Clan. Three of them have been seriously injured, and their soul power has been severely damaged. Therefore, this time, I specially urged Warrior Tezha to accompany us here for medical treatment.” Huo Yan introduced himself generously.

“Oh, it turned out to be the Third Prince of the Fire Clan. Forgive this one for being disrespectful.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng greeted the other party.

“Alchemist Liu, no need to be polite. How do you see the situation of the three warriors of our clan? Can you use your Spirit Cultivation Pill to heal them?” Huo Yan asked.

“Third Prince, you have come a long way, please sit down first, drink a cup of tea and rest for a while. I will take the pulse of the three warriors to check their situation, after I finish checking, we will talk about how to treat them. What do you think?”

“Of course, it’s all up to Alchemist Liu.” Nodding, the Third Prince agreed.

The Third Prince and his party all sat on the chairs, Jiang Xu made tea for the guests, and Liu Mufeng began to check the pulse of the three cultivators.

All three of them had injuries to their soul, but they were all cultivators in the Spiritual Profound Realm. After taking Liu Mufeng’s Spiritual Cultivation Pill, they saw immediate results and they all recovered within an hour. The Third Prince took the opportunity to trade another batch of pills from Liu Mufeng. And left a messenger jade pendant to communicate with each other.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu both had Beast Fires, and the Fire Spirit Insects and Xiaoxiao were also fire demon beasts, so the Fire Crystals of the Fire Clan were very useful to Liu Mufeng. Liu Mufeng was very happy trading a large number of Fire Crystals and at the same time, the Third Prince was also very happy that he had traded a large number of pills that could assist the Fire cultivators in their cultivation. Both parties were very satisfied with this transaction. It could be said that the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
