Chapter 429

Edited by Zaki

It took Liu Mufeng a month to connect Huang Jie’s spiritual roots. Perhaps because of receiving Bai Linglong’s spiritual root, Huang Jie’s strength did not drop too much, only dropped by two small realms, and his strength remained at one star of the Spiritual Ancestor Realm. This made the Huang family of three very happy.

Huang Jie also cried with joy when he found that his strength had only dropped by two small realms. Originally, he thought that he might become a cultivator at the Spiritual Profound Realm or the Spiritual Emperor Realm this time. However, he understood that as long as the spiritual root problem could be solved, and as long as he did not become a waste that could not cultivate, he would be willing to even become a Spiritual Emperor Realm cultivator even if he was asked to do so. He didn’t expect that he would remain in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm — it was an unexpected surprise.

In order to express her gratitude, Li Ruyue specially gave Liu Mufeng two bottles of medium-grade Soul Water. The middle-grade Soul Water was much higher than the low-grade Soul Water that Shi Li used before. For an alchemist like Liu Mufeng, soul power was very important. Therefore, soul water was naturally a good thing that he could not refuse. Previously it was the Wood Spirit Bead, now it was the middle grade Soul Water, it had to be said that the gifts sent out by the Huang Family were all very heartfelt, and they were also all good things that Liu Mufeng could use.

Huang Shi’an’s visit this time also brought Jiang Xu his share of spirit stones from the Medicinal Pool Area in the past 130 years. According to Liu Mufeng’s request, his shares in the Medicinal Pool Area would be sent to the Third Elder Jiang Yuantu after every year’s settlement. Jiang Xu’s earnings had always been kept with Bai Yunfei. This time, knowing that Huang Shi’an was coming, Bai Yunfei specifically asked Huang Shi’an to send Jiang Xu’s share of spirit stones.

Jiang Xu was overjoyed to obtain 38.3 billion spirit stones at once. He felt that these spirit stones would be enough for their family to use for a while. Also, recently, the Spiritual Water Lake had shown signs of decreasing, so he wanted to put another amount of spirit stones in it to stabilize the quality and output of the lake.

After seeing off the Huang family of three, Liu Mufeng’s family left Sanyuan Town again. And then went straight to the second goal – Blood Lake.

The Blood Lake was some distance from Sanyuan Town. It would take about a month to reach there using a seventh-level flying magic artifact. Liu Mufeng went directly to the bracelet dimension, intending to use this time to refine the soul water given by the Huang family and improve his soul power.

After boarding the flying artifact, Liu Mufeng went into seclusion, and Liu Xuan also followed into the bracelet dimension to refine pills. Because of Huang Shanshan’s affairs, the others were also very diligent, they were either cultivating with spirit stones or drinking spiritual water as they all tried their best to improve their strength.

Jiang Xu sat on the pilot seat, adding spirit stones to the energy tank while practicing, and he practiced very hard.

A month later…

After arriving at the Blood Lake, looking at the green grass all around, smelling the fragrance of flowers in the mountains, and feeling the rich spiritual energy here, Jiang Xu looked at his man with confusion. “Mufeng, the aura here is so rich, it feels like a secret realm. Why do people from the ancient clan say this is a very dangerous place?” Jiang Xu didn’t understand this.

“So this is how the Blood Lake came about.” Jiang Xu nodded and expressed his understanding.

“Actually, although those cultivators who died that year were not among the Immortal Class, they were all power houses in the Spiritual Sacred Realm. After their death, their flesh and blood nourished this land and made it more fertile. It is precisely because the spiritual energy here is so rich that there is a very special fish in the Blood Lake, by the name Flesh-Eating Fish. This fish is ferocious in nature. Whether it is a cultivator or a demon beast, when it encounters it, it has to be eaten. Of course, there is another theory, saying that the Flesh-Eating Fish in the Blood Lake were transformed by the anger, unwillingness and hatred of those more than 2,000 power houses. Therefore, the Flesh-Eating Fish are ferocious and greedy to kill. They are like a glutton who can never have enough to eat. And wants to eat all the demon beasts and cultivators in the world.” Looking at his wife with a smile, Liu Mufeng told everything he knew about the place.

“A fish that eats meat? Is it very cruel?”

“En, it’s very cruel. According to ancient records, many cultivators from the Human Race who came to the North to explore and search for treasures died in this Blood Lake. Therefore, the Blood Lake was named as one of the most dangerous places in the North.”

“Oh, it turns out it’s because of the fish in the lake that it’s called a dangerous place.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“Aiyaa, there are so many demon beasts, what’s so great about it? How can a few fish be compared to the ancient ferocious beast Taotie? How ridiculous.” Pangpang curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

Jiang Xu smiled. “Yes, our Pangpang is a bully in the water. How could we be afraid of a few fish? Pangpang, why don’t you go down and catch a few flesh-eating fish up here for me? Let me also see whether flesh-eating fish grows round or flat. What do you think?”

“Tch, just go, what’s the big deal? Not to mention such a small lake, even if it’s in the sea, I’ll still catch fish to eat.” With that said, Pangpang was about to fly into the lake, but was caught by Liu Mufeng.

“Remember not to go to the bottom of the lake. Just catch fish within ten meters of the lake. If something goes wrong, use the teleportation talisman to come back.”

“Oh, I got it.” Nodding, Pangpang agreed.

“Others can catch fish if they are interested. This lake is very big and deep. Remember, your activity range is ten meters below the surface of the lake. Don’t go to the bottom of the lake. Teleport back immediately if you encounter danger.” Looking at the demon beasts, Liu Mufeng said.

“Got it.” Nodding, Pangpang was the first to fly into the lake. After that, Jin Xiao, Xiaoxiao, Uncle Bai, and Xiaoyue also flew into the Blood Lake.

“Master, I want to go too.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xiaoyuan also said that she wanted to go.

“Okay, you can go with the Water Spirit Insects, Golden Spirit Insects and half of the Earth Spirit Insects. There are a lot of fish in the lake, enough for everyone to eat for decades.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at Xiaoyuan.

“Okay, I understand, Master.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan replied.

Jiang Xu immediately released his Water Spirit Insects and asked Xiaoyuan to leave with the spirit insects.

All six demon beasts left, leaving only Liu Mufeng’s family of three on the shore.

“Father, is there no danger in the lake?” Liu Xuan asked worriedly, looking at his Father.

“Don’t worry, the powerful Flesh-Eating Fish are all living deep underwater. They won’t emerge for the time being.” Saying that, Liu Mufeng took out three bath tubs. Directly using his soul force, he pulled the red water from the Blood Lake to surge into the three bath tubs.

Glancing at the bathtub that was quickly filled, Liu Mufeng nodded. He took out a few spiritual plants and threw them directly into the tub.

A few moments later, a layer of small red fish the size of a fist appeared on the water surface of the bathtub.

“Are these Flesh-Eating Fish? So small?” Looking at those fishes, Jiang Xu couldn’t believe it.

“Yes, these are Flesh-Eating Fish. But these are the lowest in strength. They are only level one Flesh-Eating Fish. Therefore, they are very small.” Saying that, Liu Mufeng took out his special gloves and put them on, fished out all the Flesh-Eating Fish in the bathtub and threw them back into the Blood Lake.

“Mufeng, what kind of spiritual plants are you using?”

“It’s a spiritual plant used to refine paralysis liquid. It just paralyzes them, and doesn’t poison them. There are many fish in this Blood Lake, which just happens to be enough for Xiaoyuan and the others to eat. I think the fish in this lake are enough for them to eat for at least a decade.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng smiled.

“Mufeng, is this fish delicious?” Looking at the fish, Jiang Xu was also a little greedy.

“Don’t rush, try this Blood Bath first, wait until you are tired of soaking, and then eat fish. In fact, there are a lot of good things under here. However, the bottom of the lake is exceptionally treacherous, so we can only take it slowly, step by step. The first step is to refine the aura-rich water in the Blood Lake, the second step is to eat all the fish in the lake, and the third step is to get the opportunity.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu smiled. “You are full of calculations.”

“It’s impossible not to calculate. This is a famous and dangerous place. It’s not a good place. In the past, the reason why every cultivator died was because they were too impatient.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng smiled.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Let’s take a Blood Bath first, eat fish, and finally look for a big opportunity.” After saying that, Jiang Xu also put on his gloves and went out to catch fish with Liu Mufeng.

Seeing that both Fathers were catching fish, Liu Xuan also went out to catch fish.

After catching all the fish in the bathtub, Liu Mufeng’s family of three set up a protective shield outside and began to soak in the Blood Bath together. It was said that the water in this Blood Lake was transformed by the blood of those dead power houses. Therefore, the water in the lake contained very rich spiritual power. It could also be regarded as one of the good opportunities of the Blood Lake.

In the original novel, the male protagonist team also used this method of slow progression to obtain the opportunity in the lake. Therefore, Liu Mufeng also followed this method. It’s just that the hero’s team didn’t have as many beast pets as theirs, and most of the fish in the lake had been killed. Liu Mufeng felt that it was a waste, and could use it to make rations for the demon beasts.
