After returning to their own territory, the six people from the Xiao family and Ouyang family sat together and started chatting.
“I didn’t expect that Liu Mufeng really knew those ancient seal characters.” Ouyang Xin said dully while looking at Xiao Yi.
Previously, Xiao Yi suspected that Liu Mufeng might know those ancient seal characters, but Ouyang Xin never believed it, and never expected it to be true.
“En, I was just guessing. I didn’t expect it to be true.” Xiao Yi also thought that Liu Mufeng was very incredible. Not only was he an eighth-level alchemist and an eighth-level poison master, but he also actually knew such uncommon ancient writings.I really don’t know what there is that this person can’t do?
“It’s also a good thing to get the translation of the inscription. Even if we don’t get the inheritance of the Sacred Alchemist this time, we can bring the translation back to the family. In this way, a 100 million years later, when the family sends other people, they could allocate personnel reasonably. They could send an alchemist, a poison master, a craftsman and two martial arts cultivators over here.” Xiao Hui felt that knowing the content of the inscription now was not a bad thing. At least he could be proactive and help the descendants of the Xiao family.
“What the Elder Brother said makes sense. We can indeed make some contributions to the descendants of the family, but the premise is that Liu Mufeng does not get the inheritance. If Liu Mufeng passes the four levels, then this Palace will belong to him. It will be meaningless for us to bring the inscription back, as it will not help anyone.” At this point, Xiao Yi sighed softly.
Inexplicably, Xiao Yi had a nagging feeling. He felt that the person who had the most hope of becoming the inheritor this time, and the person who would receive the inheritance of the Sacred Alchemist and this Palace, was none other than Liu Mufeng.
“Third Brother, aren’t you thinking too highly of Liu Mufeng? Even if he is an eighth-level poison master and can pass the third level of the poison refining competition, it is impossible for him to pass the fourth level of the weapon refining competition. How could he possibly get the inheritance? Impossible.” Xiao Wen shook his head, not believing that Liu Mufeng had that ability.
“I hope so.” Even if Liu Mufeng really received the inheritance of alchemy, Xiao Yi would not find it strange, because nothing that happened to Liu Mufeng was a reasonable and sensible thing. It was more normal for unreasonable things to appear, and it was abnormal for reasonable things to appear instead.
“Senior Brother Xiao, you are worrying too much. Liu Mufeng is not very old, and it is not easy to be proficient in two Arts. It is impossible to be proficient in three Arts, so even if you and your Sister cannot get the inheritance, Liu Mufeng can’t get it either. The worst-case scenario is that all twenty-five of us will be teleported away.” Ouyang Fei didn’t think Liu Mufeng could get the inheritance.
In his opinion, Liu Mufeng, who was a few years younger than him, could not be more powerful than his Sister and Senior Brother Xiao. Even if he was a poison refining master, he would definitely not be able to pass the weapon refining level.
Ouyang Xin glanced at her Brother and nodded. “I think whatXiaoFei said makes sense. This time, the alchemy inheritance and this Palace are destined to be obtained by no one. Taking this translation back can be regarded as our contribution to the family. I hope 100 million years from now, the descendants of our two families will be able to smoothly inherit it..”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed. “That shouldn’t be the case. Although Jiang Xu is a money-hungry person, the immortal plant seeds he had sold were very good. The quality of the goods is still good. He won’t lie to us this time, right?” Touching his chin Xiao Yi thought:If there was no fourth level, then Liu Mufeng would have a 90% chance of getting the inheritance.

“Then, what should we do?” Xiao Wen asked as he looked at everyone.
“Don’t be afraid, we can take a copy of the inscription ourselves and take it out to find someone to translate it. Then we will know whether the translation Liu Mufeng gave us is true or false?” Ouyang Fei said after thinking about it.
“En, that’s a good idea.” Nodding, the others agreed.
Before trying it out, the four alchemists all felt that poison refining and alchemy were similar. If you knew how to make alchemy, you could refine poison. However, when they started trying to refine poison, they discovered that ideals were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
In the first poison competition, both Master Wang and Master Jiang failed. Not only did they fail, but they also poisoned themselves. Fortunately, they were refining level five poison powder, and neither of them was deeply poisoned and were not in a life-threatening condition. However, they were still teleported away. Xiao Yi and Ouyang Xin didn’t persist long, and in three months, they were also eliminated.
At this moment, Liu Mufeng and his party were the only nine people left in the entire secret realm.
Liu Mufeng had to learn poison techniques and refine poison powder and poison pills in the bracelet dimension every day. Jiang Xu had nothing to do, so he led the others to launch a thorough search in the secret realm, and began to look around, hoping to find some hidden opportunities.
However, after searching the entire Palace for more than three years, he did not find any good opportunities, which greatly disappointed Jiang Xu. Fortunately, he no longer had to go out and could start practicing at home with other people to strengthen his body and stablizing his strength.
100 years passed in an instant, and Liu Mufeng won the final victory in the Poison Arts competition. Seeing that he was the only winner in the empty hall, Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. He walked out of the hall and returned to the Palace where others were present.
“Mufeng, congratulations.” Jiang Xu immediately sent his greetings. Because Mufeng was refining poison, he would not let them follow him every time he went to the main hall, for fear of accidentally poisoning them. They were the only ones in this secret realm, so Jiang Xu was also assured in letting Mufeng go alone.
“Yes.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng spread his arms and hugged his wife.
“Don’t be ridiculous, everyone is waiting for you inside.” Jiang Xu swatted away the man’s hand, and led the man back to the Palace.
Back home, Liu Mufeng accepted everyone’s congratulations. After looking at the family members, his gaze finally fell on Xiaoyuan. “Xiaoyuan, I have already won the Poison Arts Competition. After this, I will go into seclusion. This is the Sea God Token given to you. The Crafting Arts Competition is in your hands.”
“Yes, Master, don’t worry, I will do my best.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan took the token.
“In ten days, go to the main hall to learn the art of refining weapons.”
“Yes, I know the master.” Nodding, Xiaoyuan said yes.
“En.” Liu Mufeng looked at his son Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan came out of seclusion fifty years ago and was now at the three-star level of the Spiritual Venerable Realm. “Xuanxuan, after I retreat, you have to take good care of this family and every member of the family.”
“En, I understand, Father.” Liu Xuan nodded in understanding.
“In addition, Uncle Bai, Pangpang, andXiaoXu will also be in seclusion with me.” After saying that, Liu Mufeng looked at the three of them. Uncle Bai, Pangpang andXiaoXu all were showing a tendency to advance to the second level. It was time to seclude.
“Okay, I was also thinking of going into seclusion.” Bai Hu nodded and agreed.
“Yes, yes, I want to retreat too.” Nodding, Pangpang said the same thing.
“I, how about I wait for you to come out of seclusion and then go into seclusion?” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu hesitated.
“No, we are the only family in this secret realm now. There is no one else. Xuanxuan is taking care of the family, and Xiaoyuan is in charge of the Crafting Arts Competition. Everything will be fine. Let’s retreat together. I haven’t retreated with you for a long time. After being busy for two hundred years, it’s time to spend some time in seclusion with you.” Liu Mufeng smiled when he said this.
In the past two hundred years, he was busy refining pills and poisons. He didn’t even have time to be intimate with his wife. He was as busy as a spinning top. Today, he finally had the opportunity to have a good time with his wife. He was very tired.
“Okay.” Seeing that his partner wanted to seclude with him so much, Jiang Xu thought for a moment and then agreed.
After settling down the family affairs, Liu Mufeng put the bracelet on his Son’s wrist, and took his wife, Bai Hu, and Pangpang to the bracelet dimension
When they arrived in the dimension, Liu Mufeng distributed some pills and resources to Bai Hu and Pangpang, and sent them to seclusion. After that, he took Jiang Xu to the wooden house.
Jiang Xu walked into the bedroom and was thrown into the bed by his partner. Jiang Xu was utterly exasperated. “We are an old married couple. Why do you still act like you haven’t had sex in a few lifetimes?”
Liu Mufeng frowned, dissatisfied. “You also said that we have been in the secret realm for three hundred years. In the first hundred years, you spent most of the time in seclusion. In the next two hundred years, I was busy learning alchemy and poison. The two of us had only a handful of times alone together, which time did we ever have fun?”
Watching his lover complain, Jiang Xu smiled wryly “If I let you have fun, won’t I be killed by you?”
“XiaoXu.” Liu Mufeng leaned forward and kissed his wife’s lips in humiliation.
“Except for Xuanxuan and you, everyone else in our family has reached level nine. You are the head of the family.” Jiang Xu said helplessly as he looked at his man.
“I know, I will go into seclusion in a few days.” Liu Mufeng said helplessly as he looked at his wife.
Seeing his man’s aggrieved appearance, Jiang Xu raised his hand and rubbed the man’s resolute face distressedly. “Okay, before you go into seclusion, I’ll stay with you for a month. Is that okay?”
“Three months.” Staring at his wife, Liu Mufeng’s dark eyes were like two black whirlwinds that could suck him in at any time.
“Don’t push yourself too far. Do you really want to kill me?” Jiang Xu said angrily as he looked at his man.
“You can beg for mercy when you are tired.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng directly sealed his lover’s red lips…
