Ch488 - Seeing Old Friends Again

A month later, Father and Son, Jiang Xu and Liu Xuan, sat together as they chatted.

“Eight batches of eighty cultivators have been cured so far. There are still twenty-three people at Welcome Peak. We will bring back ten more tomorrow and treat them for another month. That’s almost it.” Jiang Xu said.

Liu Xuan nodded. “Yes, there have been no new patients coming to Welcome Peak recently. Come to think of it, there were only one hundred and three cultivators who could afford the treatment using spirit stones when their spiritual roots were damaged.”

“En, that’s all.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed. In fact, after experiencing the tide of sea beasts, many cultivators had their spiritual roots damaged. It’s just that not everyone could afford the treatment cost of 1.5 billion spirit stones. Therefore, these were the only ones who could come for treatment, and most of the remaining ones were those who could not pay with spirit stones.

“Dad, Father has been in seclusion for a month. Didn’t he say when he would come out?” Liu Xuan asked his Dad.

“No, your Father is refining pills in the dimension. I’m afraid he won’t be able to come out of seclusion for a while.”

“Oh, the spiritual plants, spiritual flowers and spiritual fruits obtained from the auction and from those who had been treated for spiritual root damage are relatively large. Father should need to deal with them for a while. After these patients are cured, I can go to the dimension to help refine pills together with Father.” Liu Xuan felt that as a seventh-level alchemist, he could help his Father to some extent.

“Okay.” Jiang Xu nodded and agreed. Suddenly, the messenger jade pendant on Jiang Xu lit up.

Picking it up, Jiang Xu looked at it carefully and found that it was a message from his Senior Brother Bai Yunfei. It was said that the City Lord of Furong City and his Wife brought their two Nephews and two Nieces to seek medical treatment.

“What’s wrong, Daddy?” Liu Xuan asked as he looked at Jiang Xu.

“Oh, it’s the City Lord of Furong City and his Wife who are here. I’ll go to Welcome Peak to have a look.” As he said that, Jiang Xu stood up.

“Dad, let Uncle Bai and Uncle Jin go with you.” Seeing that his Dad was going alone, Liu Xuan was a little worried.

“That’s fine.” Nodding, Jiang Xu left Pill Peak with Bai Hu and Jin Xiao.

“XiaoXu, I know that you and Mufeng are both busy. I’m really sorry to bother you so presumptuously. How could I ask you to pick me up?” Madam Zhang Feng said with a smile.

“Yes, he went into seclusion after the auction, he has been in seclusion for a month. However, Mufeng’s seclusion this time is for refining pills and he will not be in seclusion for too long. Adoptive Father and Mother can stay here for a while longer. After a while, Mufeng will come out of seclusion.” At this point, Jiang Xu smiled.

“Oh, so that’s it.” Madam Zhang Feng nodded and expressed understanding.

“XiaoXu, your Adoptive Mother and I came here mainly for the condition of Ling Yun and Zhang Wan. Ling Yun, as you know, is my Nephew, the third oldest and this is Ling Yun’s Younger Brother Ling Yu, the fourth in line. When you went to Furong City, he had been out for training and was not at home.” As he said that, Ling Yunhe introduced his two Nephews.

“So it’s the Third Brother and the Fourth Brother.” Smiling, Jiang Xu took the initiative to say hello to the two people.

“XiaoXu, after so many years of separation, how are you and Sixth Brother getting along?” Ling Yun smiled and took the initiative to speak.

“Thank you, Third Brother, for your concern. Mufeng and I are fine. What’s wrong with Third Brother? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Jiang Xu asked.

“Oh, I was seriously injured in the tide of sea beasts previously and my spiritual roots were damaged. So, this time I came here to ask my Sixth Brother to help me heal my spiritual roots.” Ling Yun smiled and told Jiang Xu about his situation.

“Third Brother, Mufeng is in seclusion. If you are in a hurry, you can go to Pill Peak with the other patients tomorrow. I will ask my Son, Xuanxuan to treat you. Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay here for a while, wait until Mufeng comes out of seclusion and let Mufeng treat you personally.” Jiang Xu gave two reference plans.

“Oh? Can Nephew Liu Xian also treat spiritual root damage?” Ling Yun asked curiously.

“This is actually not difficult. My Son is a seventh-level alchemist and also a Physician. He can take pulses, acupuncture, cupping, medicated baths, and medicated meals. In addition, he has the Repairing Spiritual Root Pill left by Mufeng in his hand. He can treat patients directly with the pill.”

Ling Yun nodded repeatedly. “So that’s it, then let Nephew Liu treat me. I don’t have to wait for my Sixth Brother. A tiger Father has no dog Son, I think Nephew Liu will be even better than his Master.”

“Third Brother is over praising. Then I will make arrangements. Let the Third Brother and the other nine people go to Pill Peak for treatment tomorrow.”

“Okay, I will leave the arrangements to BrotherXiaoXu!” Lowering his head, Ling Yun bowed deeply.

“No need to be polite Third Brother.”

“Xiao Xu, these are my two Nieces, Zhang Yu and Zhang Wan. Wan‘er’ssoul power is damaged, and she often acts foolishly. Sometimes she doesn’t speak and just giggles, sometimes she yells, and sometimes she wanders and runs around.” Madam Zhang Feng couldn’t help but frown, feeling very worried.

“Oh. Then I’ll ask Xuanxuan to come over and check my Cousin tomorrow. If Xuanxuan can cure her, let Xuanxuan start treating her first. If Xuanxuan can’t, then we can only wait for Mufeng to come out of seclusion.” Jiang Xu said as he looked at Madam Zhang Feng.

“Okay, okay, Adoptive Mother will listen to you.” Madam Zhang Feng nodded and agreed.

“Thank you, Sixth Cousin-in-Law.” Zhang Yu lowered her head and thanked Jiang Xu hurriedly.

“XiaoXu, these are some spiritual herbs and fruits that your Adoptive Mother and I found for Mufeng, as well as the demon cores of some demonic beasts.” With that said, Ling Yunhe handed over a storage ring to Jiang Xu.

“Father, we are all family members, there is no need to be so polite.” Jiang Xu said nonchalantly as he looked at Ling Yunhe.

“No, these Repairing Spiritual Root Pills and Spiritual Cultivation Pills are very precious pills. How can you lose money? Just keep it, this is the intention of your Adoptive Mother and I.” Ling Yunhe was from Furong City and the Lord of the City, naturally, was not a confused person. Although Liu Mufeng was his Adopted Son, he knew that the two pills he asked for today were both valuable pills. If he took advantage of this today, then, in the future, his relationship with Madam Feng and Mufeng would come to an end. Therefore, he would definitely not take advantage of this.

“Okay then, thank you Adoptive Father.” Nodding, Jiang Xu accepted the storage ring given by the other party.

The storage ring given by Ling Yunhe was eight-level. Although there were not many high-year spiritual plants in the ring, the number of spiritual plants, spiritual fruits and spiritual flowers, processed sea beast meat, sea beast blood, and demon cores was very large. The storage ring was full of them. It could be seen that the preparations were also very careful.

Jiang Xu accompanied his Adoptive Father and Adoptive Mother to have dinner at Welcome Peak before going back.

After Jiang Xu left, Ling Yu looked very unhappy. “Uncle, Aunt, isn’t that Liu Mufeng hiding from us and not coming out to meet us?”

“What are you talking about? How could it be? Mufeng is my Adopted Son. If he knew that your Uncle and I were coming, why wouldn’t he come to see us? Don’t think and say nonsense.” Madam Zhang Feng said displeased.

“Yes, Yu‘er, Mufeng is not that kind of person. If he hadn’t been in seclusion, he would definitely come to meet us.” Nodding, Ling Yunhe said the same.

“Uncle, Aunt, you think too simply. Back then, when he recognized you as Foster Father and Mother, Liu Mufeng was just a sixth-level cultivator. Now, 900 years have passed, and Liu Mufeng is already an eighth-level cultivator, he is no longer a sixth-level cultivator, so he naturally does not need to curry favor with you.” Ling Yu frowned as he spoke.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Mufeng is not that kind of person. Even when we recognized each other as relatives, I was the one who proposed it. Mufeng has never flattered nor tried to curry favor from your Uncle or me!” Shaking her head, Madam Zhang Feng naturally didn’t believe that her Adopted Son was that kind of person, who was greedy for profit.

“Auntie, I think it’s not that Sixth Brother doesn’t want to see us, but that he has really gone into seclusion. However, you, Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law have not seen each other for 900 years. It is inevitable that he will be a little alienated when you meet again. You should take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to them.” Zhang Yu reminded her with a smile as she looked at her Aunt.

Madam Zhang Feng nodded. “En, Yu‘eris right. We haven’t seen each other for so many years. We should indeed meet more to enhance our relationship. In fact, in my heart, I really miss Mufeng.”

“Hehe, the buns are delicious, big buns, big buns.” Zhang Wan, who was sitting aside with a meat bun, was giggling.

Looking at her silly Niece, Madam Zhang Feng felt very distressed. She stretched out her hand and picked up the scattered hair on Zhang Wan’s forehead.

“This is the territory of Lingwu Sect. We outsiders can only live in Welcome Peak. I’m afraid it will be difficult for my Uncle and Aunt to meet Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu often.” At this point, Ling Yu sighed lightly.

“Everything in the city has been taken care of. We can stay here for a while longer and wait for Mufeng to come out of seclusion.” The reason why Ling Yunhe came in person this time was because he wanted to have a good relationship with his Adopted Son. In just 900 years, he has gone from a sixth-level to an eighth-level cultivator, and has also become an eighth-level alchemist. He has to say that his Adopted Son was quite talented.

“Yes, my Eldest Brother and his family are helping to take care of things at home. We can stay here for a while.” Nodding, Madam Zhang Feng also wanted to stay a little longer and meet her Adopted Son.
