Returning to the Palace where Liu Mufeng lived, Liu Mufeng and others sat together and started chatting.
“Father, I don’t want to participate in the next Poison Arts competition. I want to stay in seclusion for a while to improve my strength.” Liu Xuan expressed his thoughts.
Liu Mufeng raised his eyebrows. “Why give up?”
“First, this child’s poison skills are not as good as his alchemy skills, and he may not be able to win in the competition. Second, the poisonous weeds and poisonous weed seeds in our hands are not as sufficient as the immortal plants, so we should leave them to my Father to practice alone. And third, this child has been in the secret realm for 200 years, and his strength at level eight has been very stable. Moreover, this child has received a lot of good resources from participating in competitions, and Father also gave this child some resources. Therefore, this child thinks it is time for seclusion.” Liu Xuan said truthfully.
Liu Mufeng nodded. “Alright then. Then prepare yourself and go into seclusion in three days.”
“Yes, Father.” Liu Xuan responded.
“Mufeng, now only you and Xuanxuan have not advanced to the ninth level. Xuanxuan is only at the level of one star in the Spiritual Venerable Realm, so he is not in a hurry to advance to the ninth level. But you have been stuck at nine-stars in the Spiritual Venerable Realm for more than a hundred years.” Jiang Xu said unhappily as he looked at his man.
Looking at the anxious look on his lover’s face, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Don’t worry, I will survive this hundred years of Poison Arts competition no matter what.”
“Oh.” Jiang Xu nodded, and Jiang Xu also knew that Xuanxuan had given up on the Poison Arts competition, and it was absolutely impossible for his lover to give up on this competition.
“Mufeng,XiaoXu, I want to retreat with Xuanxuan for a while.” After thinking about it, Xiaoyue also said that he wanted to go into seclusion as well.
“Boss, I also want to go into seclusion.” Jin Xiao also cottoned on.
“Okay, the three of you can go into seclusion together. Jin Xiao and Xiaoyue’s strength has been stable for more than 200 years, and it’s time to further improve. Later, I will bring the ninth-level pills that I have recently refined. I’ll share some with you two, and I’ll give you some opportunities that are suitable for you to use.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at the two of them.
“En, thank you Boss.” Nodding, Jin Xiao hurriedly thanked him.
“Mufeng,XiaoXu, thank you.” Xiaoyue smiled and hurriedly thanked the two.

“That’s true, but I still hope you can advance to level nine as soon as possible.” Jiang Xu said glumply.
“I know what’s on your mind. I have always kept the rewards I’ve earned from refining pills myself, haven’t I? These 20 years, I’ve been refining ninth level pills, and every time I succeed, I would be given a spiritual treasure, and I have saved all those spiritual treasures. I will go into seclusion after the Poison Arts competition is over, okay?” Liu Mufeng gently coaxed his wife in his arms.
“En, be sure to go into seclusion after the Poison Arts competition.”
“Of course, when have I spoken to you without thinking it over?” Liu Mufeng smiled and gently pinched the tip of his lover’s nose.
“Mufeng, I think this alchemy competition was quite difficult. I don’t know what the poison competition would be like. If you pass the poison competition, but Xiaoyuan can’t pass the weapon refining competition, then we won’t get the alchemy inheritance?” Thinking of this, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but feel worried.
Looking at his lover’s worried look, Liu Mufeng smiled. “You have to believe in me, and you have to believe in Xiaoyuan. We both will do our best.”
“En, I have confidence in you. It doesn’t matter even if you can’t get it. Anyway, we came to this secret realm, and everyone has been promoted to level nine, which can be regarded as a good harvest.” Jiang Xu also felt that even if Mufeng couldn’t get the alchemy inheritance, it could still be considered a worthwhile trip.
“Yes, we have only been in this secret realm for 200 years, and five of our nine members have advanced to become Void Immortals. It is indeed a worthwhile trip.” Liu Mufeng was also very happy. It was important to obtain the inheritance of the Sacred Alchemist, but it was equally important for them to improve their strength.
“There are only twenty-five people left in this secret realm now. Apart from you and Xuanxuan, there are only four alchemists left. I think it won’t be long before you defeat those four.” Jiang Xu smiled. Although those four were all ninth-level alchemists, they were not Poison Masters. Mufeng could definitely defeat them.
“Those four ninth-level alchemy masters are all very good at alchemy. Otherwise, they would not have been able to fight to the end. As for the poison technique, I don’t know if they are proficient in it. However, I’ll take every match seriously. There’s nothing wrong with being careful, there are people ……”
“There are people outside the world, there is a world outside the world, I knew you would say that.” Jiang Xu completed the statement. “Mufeng, you are always cautious when doing things, and you never look down on your opponents.”
Liu Mufeng also laughed. “We are new here, so naturally we can’t underestimate others.”
“En, I know. If it’s a fight, I will never underestimate my opponent as well. But when it comes to poison skills, I just think they are not as good as you. There are very few people in the world who can compare with you.” Jiang Xu was very confident about his partner and his skills.
“You….” Liu Mufeng leaned over and kissed his beloved on the lips with a smile.
With his lover’s lips in his mouth, Jiang Xu responded back enthusiastically. He put his arms around his lover’s neck and kissed back passionately.
Liu Mufeng pursed his lips and smiled. “Go back to our room, or here?”
Hearing this, Jiang Xu blinked. “I’m hungry, shall we go outside to cook something to eat?” With that said, Jiang Xu jumped off Liu Mufeng’s lap, turned around and ran away.
With a flash, Liu Mufeng caught Jiang Xu just before he walked out of the door and took him into his arms. “XiaoXu, it’s not good for you to run away after teasing me like this.”
Listening to the ambiguous words in his ears, Jiang Xu uncomfortably rubbed his ears that were reddened by Liu Mufeng. “Once you start, there’s no end to it. I’m becoming more and more unable to resist you.”
“How could it be possible? You are a Void Immortal and I am only at level eight.” With that said, Liu Mufeng directly pulled the person back to the room.
Three days later, Liu Xuan, Xiaoyue and Jin Xiao all went into seclusion, and the four Xiao family siblings and the Ouyang sisters also came to visit Liu Mufeng’s family.
“Two Seniors are here. May I know what’s the matter?” Liu Mufeng felt very surprised.
“Master Dong, there are fewer and fewer people in this secret realm. We just came here for a walk.” Xiao Yi said with a smile.
“Oh.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng didn’t think that the other party was really just here to walk around.
“Master Dong, you are a Poison Master. What do you think about learning Poison Techniques next?” Ouyang Xin asked.
“Oh, this is expected. This is the third level.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.
“As expected? How come Master Dong knew about it?” Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully.
“There is a three-meter-high stone tablet in the main hall square. The process of the competition is clearly written on the stone tablet. I had already read it when I came here. Why? Haven’t the two Seniors read the content on the stone tablet?” Liu Mufeng asked knowingly.
“The characters on the stone tablet are ancient seal scripts, which are more complicated than ancient characters. Most people don’t understand them. My family doesn’t know those characters.” Shaking his head, Xiao Yi said he didn’t know the characters.
“Yes, none of the people I brought here know that kind of writing.” Nodding, Ouyang Xin said the same.
“Then, do you want to know what is written on the stone tablet? If you want to know, I can tell you.” Jiang Xu asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the two people looked at each other. They had the same thought:Would Jiang Xu be so kind as to tell them?
“Of course, it can’t be free. Translating the content on the stone tablet will cost you ten thousand immortal crystals per person.” Jiang Xu said bluntly as he looked at the two of them.
Hearing this, everyone nodded. Sure enough, it was impossible to tell them for no reason. Xiao Yi and Ouyang Xin looked at each other and communicated through voice transmission. In the end, one person took out 10,000 immortal crystals and bought a translation of the stone tablet from Jiang Xu.
“The first level is survival of the fittest for a hundred years, the second level is a hundred years of competition in alchemy, the third level involves a hundred years of competition in poison techniques, and the fourth level requires a hundred years of competition in weapon refining skills. After four hundred years, only those who pass all the tests will receive the alchemy inheritance and this Palace.” Seeing this, Ouyang Xin was extremely depressed.
“There are actually a hundred years each of competition on poison techniques and weapon refining skills?” Seeing this, Xiao Yi felt that there was no hope.
“Yes. This alchemist wants his successor to not only be good at alchemy, but also to be good at poison and weapon refining.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng was also very helpless. In fact, he didn’t know the rules about the competition were like this before he came here.
After glancing at Liu Mufeng, Xiao Yi nodded. “This Sacred Alchemist had a long lifespan. Come to think of it, he himself was also an Alchemist, Poison Master and a Craftsman, so he hopes to find such a versatile successor.”
“Maybe.” After getting the translation, Ouyang Xin’s heart went cold. She thought that even if she could barely learn the poison technique, it would be useless, because she knew nothing about weapon refining.
Ela ~~ Hold on tight folks! I read ahead and the next 30 chaps are super interesting 😀
