Thirty years later,
Looking at his lover appearing in front of him, Jiang Xu was happy. “Mufeng, are you out of seclusion?”
“En, I am out of seclusion.” As he said that, Liu Mufeng hugged the person directly into his arms.
“I thought it would take a while for you to come out of seclusion.” Jiang Xu said with a smile, raising his head and looking at his man.
“Actually, I should have left seclusion long ago. However, I sorted out the spiritual herbs in my hand in the space and refined some pills, so I came out a little later. How about you all, are you used to living in Gale Ridge?” Liu Mufeng asked.
“It’s okay, in the first ten years, we all stayed in the Proximate Area. Later, after everyone got used to it, we came to the Low Area. I have arranged a protective shield outside the cave, so you cannot feel the gale. However, if you step out of the protective shield, you will feel that the gale here is like a steel knife, very fierce.” Jiang Xu frowned. When they first came here, everyone was often injured, and they were always covered in bloody cuts by the strong wind. After living here for twenty years, everyone just got used to the environment. Now they rarely got injured, and could clearly feel that their bodies were much stronger.
“You have worked hard.” Lowering his head, Liu Mufeng smiled and kissed his wife’s forehead.
“Don’t make trouble.” Jiang Xu glanced at his partner and nodded towards the other bed next to him.
Following his lover’s gaze, Liu Mufeng saw that the bed was covered with spirit stones. Jin Xiao, Xiaoyuan, Xiaoxiao, Uncle Bai, and Pangpang were all lying on the pile of spirit stones, and were frantically absorbing the spirit energy within the stones to cultivate.
Seeing so many light bulbs in the room, Liu Mufeng took his lover’s arm and took his wife directly to the bracelet dimension.
Coming to their bedroom, Jiang Xu smiled as he looked at his man. “Not bad, you have already advanced to five stars in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm.”
“It was good luck. I have used up a lot of good things in my hand, and finally pushed my strength to this level.” It could be said that in order to achieve the five stars in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, Liu Mufeng had used up all the Wood Crystals, Spirit Beads, Moonflower Liquid, and many other spiritual treasures he had accumulated over the past thirty years, so that he would not drag back his wife and successfully reached this state.
“Those things are not important, strength is the most important. This is what you always sayah!” Jiang Xu said with a smile as he looked dotingly at his lover
“Yes, nothing else is important. Only you and strength are the most important. Only with strength can I stay with my belovedXiaoXu forever.” As he said that, Liu Mufeng took the initiative to kiss his lover’s lips…
The husband and wife had not seen each other for many years, and they spent several days together without shame.
Sitting outside the house, Liu Mufeng set up a small pot to make soup for his wife with a satisfied expression. There was tenderness in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Bai said that she had the strength of eight stars in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, and she was very strong in Martial Arts.”
“It’s okay. It was not easy for me to kill her alone, but Xiaoyue helped me. The two of us dealt with her together, and then I used this magic weapon to kill her.” As he said, Jiang Xu shook the Stone Bead bracelet on his wrist.
“Oh.” Liu Mufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his lover say this.
“Speaking of which, that Bai Linglong was pretty good. Not only did she take the initiative to give us spirit stones, but she also brought two other people to give us spirit stones. Xiaoxiao said that one was Dry Bones Taoist and the other was Jade Face Cao Zhi, both of whom were good. One was worth 100 million spirit stones, and the other was worth 60 million spirit stones. In addition, these three people were very rich. Each of them had more than a billion spirit stones in their storage rings. After killing them, we had so many spirit stones that we didn’t have to use for cultivation any of the spirit stones that we had earned in the past thirty years.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu was very proud.
Liu Mufeng frowned. “This Bai Linglong was quite cunning. She actually brought Dry Bones Taoist and Cao Zhi to take revenge. Fortunately, there were many of us, otherwise we would be in trouble.” If it was onlyXiaoXu alone, that would be bad.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay.” Jiang Xu comforted his lover.
“Then, how did you get the reward for killing the three of them?” Liu Mufeng asked curiously.
“En, Xuanxuan asked someone from the Goose Transport Team to help deliver the heads to the forces that offered the rewards.”
Liu Mufeng nodded. “En, Xuanxuan is very smart.”
“Yes, he is as smart as you.” Jiang Xu smiled proudly.
Looking at his lover’s smiling face, Liu Mufeng leaned over and kissed his lover on the cheek. “Are you praising your Son, or are you praising me?”
“You two, Father and Son, are both great.”
“No, I am the only one who is great, Xuanxuan is second.” Liu Mufeng corrected his wife seriously.
Jiang Xu smiled wryly as he looked at his man’s serious expression. “You’re such a small-minded guy.”
“That’s right, don’t you think I’m great in bed? How about we go and verify it?” Looking at his wife faintly, Liu Mufeng smiled and extended the invitation.
“Go away, I’m still waiting to drink the soup you made.” Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly, and refused directly.
“You!” After glancing at his wife, Liu Mufeng had no choice but to continue cooking soup.
“Mufeng, let me tell you some good news. Senior Shi found a stone here called the Gale Stone. It is said to be a stone made from the bones of the cultivators from the Ghoul Clan. Senior Shi used this stone to extract many top-quality Gypsum and Stone Milk.” Jiang Xu was very happy when he said this.
“That’s right. Not only can you train your body, but you can also hunt for treasures. So we’ve come to the right place.” According to the original novel, the male protagonist found many magical stones in Gale Ridge, and the Sixth Heroine helped him extract the essence from the stones. Come to think of it, the stone mentioned in the original novel should be this Gale Stone. The reason why the Sixth Heroine was able to extract the essence from the stones was because the person Shi Lian loved was a cultivator from the Snow Clan. As a result, the Snow Clan secretly learned a lot of secret techniques from the Stone Clan. Therefore, only the Sixth Heroine could extract the essence of the stone.
When Liu Mufeng was planning to come to Gale Ridge, he thought that even if he went into seclusion, Shi Lian, the Saintess of the Stone Clan, would definitely be able to discover those different stones. Sure enough, Shi Lian really discovered it and purified the Gypsum and Stone milk.
“Of course. How could you be wrong in the place you chose?” Jiang Xu had no doubts about his partner’s choice.
Liu Mufeng smiled. “Actually, I chose this place because it is relatively close to Sanyuan Town.” This was the truth. Among the top ten dangerous places, Gale Ridge was the one closest to Sanyuan Town. Therefore, Liu Mufeng planned to start from Gale Ridge and then travel to every dangerous place individually and collect opportunities in every dangerous place.
“No matter what, this is a good place for both body training and treasure hunting.” Jiang Xu was full of praise for this Gale Ridge.
“Wait a minute, you, Xuanxuan, Uncle Bai and Pangpang, the four of you, just take those Gypsums and Stone Milk and go into seclusion first. From now on, we will go into seclusion in batches. In case there are not enough people left, we will not be able to cope with the strong enemy.” Liu Mufeng suggested.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed.
“How has the Pill business with various Clans been going over the past thirty years?” Liu Mufeng asked again, looking at his partner.
“Don’t worry, Mufeng, there is a lot of Pill business. Xuanxuan meets with representatives of various Clans at the entrance of Gale Ridge every year to complete the Pill transaction. However, here in Gale Ridge, Xuanxuan had less time to refine pills, so now, Xuanxuan and I don’t have many pills in our hands.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but frown.
“It doesn’t matter, I have refined a lot of pills. I have spent thirty years refining all the spiritual herbs accumulated in the storage ring into pills. We can’t use up all of these pills, so we can take out some of them and sell them to the cultivators of other Clans.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed.
“Is there any news from the Human Race?” After thinking about it, Liu Mufeng asked again.
“Some time ago, Senior Brother sent me news that the missing Sun Song…”
“Sun Song showed up?” Hearing Sun Song’s name, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
“No, Sun Song didn’t show up. However, something strange happened to the Sun family. I heard that many descendants of the Sun family died one after another. And it’s not just the Sun Family, but also Sun Song’s Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Grandmothers, Grandfathers. All of these people have inexplicably died one by one, and later on, even Sun Song’s Mother and Grandmother died as well. At first, the Zunhuang Sect insisted that it was us Lingwu Sect cultivators who did it. But later on, they didn’t find any evidence, so they just let it go.” Jiang Xu felt very strange.
“Sun Song’s maternal aunt and uncle are dead. What about maternal uncle’s wife and his mother’s brother’s wife, are they dead as well?” Liu Mufeng asked, staring at his wife.
“Senior Brother didn’t say anything about this.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu said no.
“I have a guess.” Touching his chin, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes.
“What guess?” Jiang Xu asked doubtfully, looking at his lover’s inscrutable look.
“The Blood Relative Tribute Technique is a forbidden technique and a type of witchcraft. However, I have only read the introduction and don’t know how to perform this technique.”
“What kind of technique is that? It doesn’t sound like a good thing.” Jiang Xu frowned and asked about it.
“This is a way to quickly increase strength. To put it bluntly, it means sacrificing one’s blood relatives. The closer the kinship, the better. Utilizing this type of sacrifice, cultivators can quickly increase their strength in a short period of time. The more people one sacrifices, the faster one’s strength increases.”
“Killing one’s own relatives to sacrifice themah?” Hearing this, Jiang Xu suddenly felt horrified.
“Yes, there are many cultivators who are about to reach the end of their lifespan and will learn crooked things in order to extend their lives. Ancient books record that some people once slaughtered members of their own clan and sacrificed them in order to advance to the Spiritual Sacred Realm.”
“It’s so cruel.” Thinking of this bloody scene, Jiang Xu huffed in anger.
“Some cultivators are very crazy.”
“Do you suspect that Sun Song killed his relatives as sacrifices?” Jiang Xu asked in disbelief as he looked at his man.
“If that’s the case, it would make sense.”
“Then we have to be careful about that Sun Song.” If Sun Song became stronger, he would definitely come to them for revenge.
“En, you have to pay careful attention to what’s happening on the human side. If it’s really Sun Song, then you have to be careful.” Liu Mufeng also felt that this matter was not a good thing.
“Yes.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed.
