Ch561 - Yuetu City

Edited by Zaki

Liu Mufeng and his party stayed in the inn for a month and gained a basic understanding of Yuetu City. They knew that this was the Imperial City of the Rabbit Clan’s cultivators, and they also knew that the Rabbit Emperor who possessed the strength of an Immortal Emperor lived in the Palace here, and also that there was a Clan’s merchant house here – the Shao Clan Merchant House.

The Shao Clan Merchant House was a partner of the Rabbit Royal Family and had opened four stores in the Imperial City. Every shop sold products of the Human Race, including talismans, pills, array disks, magic weapons, and organizations that specialized in selling information. It could be said that this Shao Clan Merchant House had taken over all agency rights for human products. And it was also the only human business firm recognized by the Moon Rabbit Clan.

After discovering the power of Shaw Clan Merchant House, Liu Mufeng decisively gave up the idea of setting up a stall and opening a pill shop. Instead, he directly joined the Merchant House as an alchemist. Xiaoyuan also joined as a craftsman.

There were many benefits to joining the Merchant House. Not only do they take care of food and accommodation, but also receive corresponding immortal crystals every month as long as they fulfill their quota. In addition to that, becoming a member of the Shao’s Merchant House, there was a 30% discount on all purchases at the Shao’s Merchant House in the city. In addition, the signboard of Shao’s Merchant House was also very famous, when you went out, as long as you said that you were a member of Shao’s Merchant House, whether you are of the Human Race or the Demon Clan, you would be given three points of face.

After joining the merchant house, Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu and Xiaoyuan lived a secluded life. Liu Mufeng and Xiaoyuan spent most of their time refining pills and magic tools in the bracelet dimension, and Jiang Xu became their full-time bodyguard to protect their safety.

Liu Mufeng had the bracelet dimension, and the pills he refined every month were ten times that of others. However, Liu Mufeng never paid more than the required pills and only paid his corresponding share every month. He handed over the extra pills in his hand to the four beasts, and asked them to take the extra pills and extra magic tools to other intermediate cities and small towns around Yuetu City to set up stalls and sell them. The four beasts were of the Demon Clan, and it was more convenient to walk in a Demon city. In addition, Bai Hu had the ability to teleport through space, so it was most suitable for them to do business.

Liu Mufeng quickly accumulated a large amount of wealth by working as an alchemist for Shaw Clan Merchant House and by selling pills to the four beasts in 23 nearby towns.

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear as he saw a lot of mid-grade immortal crystals coming into his account every day.

After three years of hard work, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu accumulated nine million mid-grade immortal crystals in their hands. This was not counting the immortal crystals used by everyone for cultivation.

“Oh, that’s true.” Jiang Xu nodded when he heard his lover say this.

“Yuetu City is not bad. The Rabbit Clan is more peace-loving. Moreover, this is an Imperial City and all fighting and killing are prohibited. Therefore, it is quite peaceful for us to live here. We will stay here for another three or five years and it’s not too late for us to leave when we earn enough immortal crystals.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Jiang Xu agreed with his lover’s suggestion.

It had to be said that this Yuetu City was indeed a very good place, the Rabbit Clan’s cultivators were good at planting, not only would they plant immortal grasses, but they would also plant all kinds of immortal vegetables and fruits. Therefore, here Jiang Xu could buy whatever immortal fruits he wanted to eat, and the same with immortal vegetables, all kinds of delicious immortal vegetables paired with the richqiof immortal demon beasts’ meat, plus the good craftsmanship of the mansion’s cooks, it was really the ultimate delicacy.

“Uncle Bai and the others seem to be…” Liu Mufeng was just halfway through his words when he felt a pain in his heart. He opened his mouth and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.

“Ah, Mufeng!” Jiang Xu cried out in surprise, and hurriedly stood up and supported his man. “Mufeng, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly vomit blood? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Has refining pills been too hard recently?”

Looking at his anxious lover, Liu Mufeng waved his hand. “I’m fine, it’s Jin Xiao. Jin Xiao was injured and suffered a serious injury, which backfired on me.” Generally, the owner’s injuries were more likely to backfire on his pet. However, there were relatively few injuries to pets that backfired on their owners, so Liu Mufeng could clearly feel that Jin Xiao was seriously injured.

“Jin Xiao? How could it be? The four of them went out together? Isn’t Uncle Bai there? He shouldn’t be hurt, right?” When talking about this, Jiang Xu frowned deeply.

“They must have met a strong enemy of Immortal King, otherwise, Jin Xiao wouldn’t have been seriously injured.” At this point, Liu Mufeng frowned. The surrounding small towns were far less peaceful than the Imperial City. At the beginning, Uncle Bai and the four of them went to other small towns to set up stalls, and were bullied by some local thugs and hunting groups. However, the four of them were all Void Immortals, and their skills were also good. Some ordinary cultivators were not even their opponents, and many of them were beaten away by Uncle Bai and the others. But this time, they obviously encountered their opponents.

“Take a pill first.” Jiang Xu hurriedly took out the pill and fed it to his lover.

“It’s okay, don’t worry. With Uncle Bai around, they will be back soon.” With that said, Liu Mufeng took the pill given by his lover.

“En, I know.” Nodding, Jiang Xu raised his hand and wiped away the blood from the corner of his lover’s mouth, feeling his heart ache. “No matter who hurt Jin Xiao, I will never let him go.” He dared to hurt Jin Xiao and cause a backfire on Mufeng. How could he let this person go?

“Don’t worry, let’s understand the situation first when Uncle Bai and the others come back.” At this point, Liu Mufeng’s eyes narrowed. The other party beat his pet almost to death. How could he not avenge such a huge hatred?

While the two people were talking, Jiang Xu felt a fluctuation in the yard. He waved his hand to open the barrier of the room, and saw Uncle Bai and the four of them returning to the room in a disheveled state.

At this moment, Jin Xiao could no longer maintain his human form. He had turned into a small snake and lay weakly on Bai Hu’s shoulders. Bai Hu was not much better. His immortal clothes were beaten to tatters. There were also more than a dozen stab wounds on the arms, legs and chest. Xiaoxiao’s left arm was cut off. Pangpang was intact, but his face was unusually pale, which was obviously a sequelae of excessive use of immortal energy.

“How is Jin Xiao?” Looking at the extremely wounded Jin Xiao lying on Bai Hu’s shoulder, Liu Mufeng immediately stood up, hugged Jin Xiao, carefully checked the other party’s injuries, and gave him the pill.

“Boss.” After calling out, Jin Xiao passed out.

After giving Jin Xiao the pills, Liu Mu Feng immediately took out the animal skin and put Jin Xiao on top of it, then he took out a pile of mid-grade immortal crystals and placed them beside Jin Xiao, allowing him to absorb those immortal crystals to heal his wounds.

After arranging for Jin Xiao, Liu Mufeng checked on Xiaoxiao, Uncle Bai and Pangpang and gave them pills for them to take.

“Uncle Bai, what happened? Why are all four of you injured?” Jiang Xu asked anxiously.

When Jiang Xu asked, Bai Hu let out a mournful sigh. “Alas, we had just set up a stall in a small town by the sea, and we were targeted by a group of pirates. There were thirty of them in total, and the Leader was a scallop, an Immortal King and twenty other cultivators also had Void Immortal cultivation. They wanted to snatch our pills and magic weapons, so we fought. We killed eight of them during the fight, however, they had Immortal King who was stronger than us, and robbed our pills and magic weapons, and also chopped Xiaoxiao’s arm off, robbing the 200,000 immortal crystals that we had earned from selling pills and magic weapons in the past half month.” Speaking of this, Bai Hu was very depressed.

“It’s all my fault for not protecting those immortal crystals.” Speaking of this, Xiaoxiao felt very guilty. She didn’t expect that the pirates would know the situation so well. The Immortal King pounced on him, cut off her arm, and took away her storage ring.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t blame yourself, I can’t blame you for this matter. I think the other party had planned it for a long time.” Liu Mufeng looked at his pet and comforted the other party softly.

“Boss.” Xiaoxiao felt very guilty. Boss trusted her and made her responsible for managing all accounts and collecting immortal crystals. Unexpectedly, after working hard for half a month to sell the pills, in the blink of an eye, 200,000 mid-grade immortal crystals were gone.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t be like this. This is not your fault. I will recuperate your body in a while and refine the recovery pill for you. After you take the recovery pill, your arm will grow back within three months. You don’t have to worry.” Liu Mufeng hurriedly comforted her.

“Thank you, boss.” Nodding, Xiaoxiao immediately thanked him.

“I also think that they were premeditated, those pirates are all Demon Immortals living in the sea, they couldn’t possibly know our details, nor could they know who manages the immortal crystals among the four of us, so they must have an insider in that town near the sea.” If it wasn’t for the fact that his strength wasn’t as good as that scallop, how could Pangpang let go of the bastard who injured his Brother and chopped off Xiaoxiao’s arm?

“Don’t be anxious. You recover from your injuries first. I’ll go to the News Pavilion to inquire about the situation of that group of people. After you recover from your injuries, we will go and find them to settle accounts. Daring to hit my people to rob my pills and snatch my immortal crystals, they are looking for death.” At this point, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes. He didn’t like to stir up trouble, but that didn’t mean he was afraid of trouble. Others were bullying him. Could he still be tolerant? How was that possible?
