8 min read2,024 words

The next day, Jiang Xu took Ling Yun and the Zhang Sisters back to Pill Peak. Because Zhang Wan’s soul was damaged and she needed someone to take care of her crazy and silly self, Jiang Xu brought both of them back.

The courtyard where the sick were treated could only accommodate ten people, and it was already full. Mufeng was in seclusion in the bracelet dimension, a fake seclusion room was arranged in his own yard. It was inconvenient for the Zhang sisters to live there, so Jiang Xu could only arrange for the two Sisters to live in the yard of the five demon beasts. There were six rooms in the courtyard of the demon beasts, and there happened to be one empty room for the Zhang Sisters to live.

After half a month of treatment, Ling Yun’s spiritual root was healed, but to Jiang Xu’s surprise, Zhang Wan was not cured. Logically speaking, Zhang Wan was only at the Spiritual Emperor Realm, but a fifth-level cultivator couldn’t be cured even after taking a sixth-level spiritual pill for half a month, this made Jiang Xu feel that something was amiss.

Seeing that Zhang Wan’s condition was getting worse repeatedly, Liu Xuan became a little anxious and immediately invited Elder Zhu and his Grandfather Jiang Yuantu from the Spiritual Plants Garden. The three of them checked Zhang Wan’s pulse together.

In order to check Zhang Wan’s condition more easily, Liu Xuan gave Zhang Wan a sleeping pill in advance. The three of them first felt the pulse, and then used their soul power to check the other’s soul power. Finally, they sat down together to discuss the treatment plan.

“Senior Uncle, Elder Zhu, what do you think is wrong with Zhang Wan? Isn’t it soul damage?” Jiang Xu asked doubtfully.

“Judging from the condition of the pulse and sea of consciousness damage, this is indeed soul damage. The Spiritual Cultivation Pill should not be ineffective.” Elder Zhu frowned deeply. He also felt that this illness was soul damage. But why couldn’t it be cured after half a month of treatment? Logically speaking, treating a fifth-level cultivator with a sixth-level pill, half of the pill could cure it, right? Why was this female cultivator’s illness so difficult to deal with?

“I also think it’s soul damage. Xuanxuan didn’t use the wrong medicine. However, it’s really strange why she can’t be cured.” Frowning, Jiang Yuantu also felt that something was wrong.

“Is her constitution too poor to absorb the power of the medicine?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu asked again. He remembered that Mufeng once said that if the cultivator’s physique was too poor, it would have a certain impact on the absorption of medicinal power. Therefore, before using the Spiritual cultivation Pill, it was best to condition the person’s physique.

“The pill had no effect after taking it for the first time, so I treated her for ten days. I used medicated diets, medicated baths, and acupuncture.” Liu Xuan said helplessly while looking at everyone.

“So that’s how it is.” Looking at his Son’s helpless look, Jiang Xu nodded.

“Let’s do this, Xuanxuan, please continue to recuperate Zhang Wan’s body, and don’t give her any medicine for the time being. Your Father told me before that he would be in seclusion for two months at most. Counting the time, one and a half months have already passed. I think he is about to come out. After your Father comes out, we can have a consultation together and examine this Zhang Wan to see what the problem is and why she cannot be cured.” Jiang Yuantu said.

“Okay, then I’ll listen to Grandpa. I will take care of Zhang Wan first. After Father comes out of seclusion, we will discuss it together and see how to treat Zhang Wan.”

“Okay, let’s do this for now.” Nodding, Jiang Yuantu agreed.

After leaving the Zhang Sisters’ room, Jiang Xu sent Jiang Yuantu and Elder Zhu away together.

Halfway through, Jiang Yuantu gave Jiang Xu a faint glance. “XiaoXu, quietly let your spiritual insects keep an eye on the Zhang Sisters, especially Zhang Wan. I think there is something wrong with the two of them. Maybe it’s not soul damage, but they might have been planted with some kind of Demon Seeds.”

After dispatching the Water Spirit Insects, Jiang Xu would watch the Zhang Sisters through the insects from time to time. During the day, Zhang Yu would take her Sister Zhang Wan for a walk in the yard. She would politely say hello to anyone she met, giving people the impression of a very knowledgeable and sensible lady. And Zhang Wan kept giggling from beginning to end, and it didn’t look like there was anything wrong.

After observing for several days, Jiang Xu found nothing unusual about the two Sisters. On this day, his lover finally appeared in front of him.

Jiang Xu was very happy when he saw his lover coming out of seclusion. “Mufeng, you are out of seclusion!”

“En, I’m out. What’s wrong? Are you very happy to see me out of seclusion?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile, looking at his happy wife.

“Of course, I’ll be happy when you get out of seclusion. Let’s go to the ‘space’ to cultivate together.” As he said that, Jiang Xu enthusiastically took his lover’s hand.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng was stunned, and nodded somewhat flattered. “Okay.” After directly sealing the place, Liu Mufeng took his lover to the bracelet dimension.

Arriving in the room, Jiang Xu frowned. He told his man everything about the six people from Furong City.

“You mean, Master suspects that Zhang Wan was planted with a Demon Seed, rather than having normal soul damage?” Liu Mufeng asked, looking at his lover sitting by the bed.

“En, that’s what Uncle said. I sent the Water Spirit Insects to monitor the two Sisters, but after several days of monitoring, I didn’t find any clues. What do you think is going on? Logically speaking, even a seventh-level cultivator could heal using the Spiritual Cultivation Pill, so there’s no reason why a fifth-level cultivator couldn’t be cured?” Jiang Xu also felt weird when talking about this matter.

“It’s possible that Zhang Wan has a problem and was entangled by Demons. However, it’s also possible that Zhang Yu is the one with a problem. After taking the pill, the patient also needs a recovery period. If she is injured again during the recovery period, it will be another injury and there is no way to cure it.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at his wife.

“You mean, it’s not that our pills are useless, but that there is something wrong with Zhang Yu, and she might have hurt Zhang Wan twice?” Jiang Xu frowned deeply as he thought of this.

“Isn’t that right? We can give it a try tomorrow.” At this point, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

“Okay, let’s give it a try tomorrow. Also, let’s go and see your Adoptive Father and Adoptive Mother at Welcome Peak tomorrow. They haven’t seen you for so many years, and Adoptive Mother has missed you very much. “Jiang Xu said as he looked at his lover.

“Okay, I know.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng came over and kissed his beloved on the lips.

Looking at his lover who was leaning against him, Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly. “I came here to have a private chat with you, not really to practice dual cultivation with you.”

“But now we’ve said all that needs to be said, haven’t we?” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng hugged the person into his arms.

“You.” Jiang Xu chuckled and snuggled into his lover’s arms.

*****

The next day, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu went to see Zhang Wan together.

Arriving in the room, Liu Mufeng sat opposite Zhang Wan and checked the person’s pulse carefully.

Zhang Wan showed a silly smile, constantly giggling.

Looking at Liu Mufeng coming out of seclusion, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Everyone said that Liu Mufeng’s alchemy skills were very powerful, she didn’t expect that this eighth-level alchemy genius would be so young and handsome. He was completely different from those old men’s versions of an eighth-level alchemist. No wonder so many people admired him.

Staring at Liu Mufeng’s handsome face, Zhang Yu’s heart was racing and her cheeks turned red unconsciously.

Liu Mufeng checked Zhang Wan’s aura while diagnosing her pulse and was very confused.

Logically speaking, the other party’s pulse was indeed soul power damage. Moreover, the other party’s stupid appearance was the same as that of a patient with damaged soul power.Why didn’t the Spiritual Cultivation Pill work?

Suddenly, Zhang Wan, who was originally smiling foolishly, turned completely black, and even the whites of her eyeballs turned black. Then, she opened her mouth and vomited violently.

“Mufeng, be careful!” Seeing Zhang Wan spat out a table full of black beads the size of quail eggs, Jiang Xu grabbed his lover’s arm and pulled him aside.

“DemonicQi!” Looking at those beads, Liu Mufeng felt that the Buddha relics in his storage ring were about to move.

“Sister!” Looking at his Sister who kept vomiting, Zhang Yu was shocked and shouted. But after vomiting, her Sister had already passed out. No matter how she called, her Sister didn’t respond at all.

“Sister!” Zhang Yu helped her Sister up and gently patted her Sister’s pale cheek. However, she was still unconscious and did not react at all.

Zhang Wan spat out a total of ten small black beads. The ten beads gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a black demon beast. This demon beast was only the size of a palm and had the head of a lion. The tiger’s tail and four legs had scales, which looked extremely weird.

Raising his hand, Liu Mufeng directly threw the Buddha relic and hit the demon beast.

Sensing the approaching danger, the demon beast’s figure disappeared in a flash.

“It escaped!” Seeing that the beast was gone, Jiang Xu was the first to chase it into the yard.

Putting away his Buddha relic, Liu Mufeng followed closely and chased into the yard.

When they came to the yard and took another look, they saw that the palm-sized beast had turned into a big beast over five meters tall, like a hill, staring at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu with eager eyes.

“Demonic Beast?It actually ran into the yard?” Seeing the demonic beast, the six demon beasts were shocked and immediately surrounded them.

“Father, Daddy, what’s going on?” Liu Xuan was shocked as he looked at the mountain-high demon in the yard.

“Xuanxuan, go to the yard next door and protect the ten patients. You are not needed here!” Liu Mufeng said after glancing at his Son.

“En.” Nodding, Liu Xuan immediately rushed to the yard next door. The people living in the courtyard next door were all cultivators with damaged spiritual roots and unable to use spiritual power. With just a swat from its claws, they would probably die.

Seeing his Son leaving, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu’s hand and flew directly towards the bamboo forest at the foot of Pill Peak Mountain. If they fought in the yard, the Master’s palace would be destroyed.

Seeing Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu flying away, the demonic beast immediately chased after them, as did Xiaoyue and the others.
