Ch84 - Meeting the Liu Family Again

A few days later, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were sitting by the creek and eating grilled fish together.

“I missed the smell of your grilled fish.” Jiang Xu was enjoying the fish grilled by his lover. Compared with the fish grilled by himself, the fish made by Mufeng was really delicious.

Looking at his wife eating a mouthful of fish in spicy sauce, Liu Mufeng smiled, took out a handkerchief, and helped his lover wipe the corners of his mouth with a doting face. “Eat slowly. No one will rob you of your food.”

“Heehee, I missed this. The grilled fish you make is really out of this world.” Jiang Xu smiled contentedly.

“Should I grill another sweet and sour one for you?” Liu Mufeng took out the honey and began to brush the fish.

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed happily.

“Ninth Brother, how about sharing your grilled fish with us as well?” Smelling the aroma of grilled fish, a group of people came over in a haughty manner.

Seeing the person who came, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but raise his brows. It was the Liu family, but the Liu family had changed from a team of five to a group of thirteen. They were the original owner’s Eldest brother Liu Cheng, second cousin Liu Muyan, third cousin Liu Shu, Liu Shu’s wife Dong Huixin, Dong Huixin’s younger sister Dong Wanying, fourth cousin Liu Zhen’er, fifth cousin Liu Wan’er, fifth brother-in-law Qiao Xiang, Qiao Xiang’s eldest brother Qiao Hong and their second brother Qiao Fei. The sixth cousin Liu Yi, the seventh cousin Liu Fei, and the eighth cousin Liu Shanshan were present as well.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, Third brother, Third Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Fifth Brother-in-law, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Eighth Sister, everyone has gathered together!” Seeing everyone, Liu Mufeng stood up and smiled. Saying hello to everyone.

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Jiang Xu frowned. He thought, ‘Was this secret realm so small? Mufeng had just gotten rid of the Wang family, but it was really unlucky to meet the Liu family again.’

“Ninth Brother, your grilled fish smells so good. Second Brother didn’t know that you have such a good skill.” Liu Muyan said with a smile, looking at the golden and crispy grilled fish in Liu Mufeng’s hands. If he remembered correctly, Mufeng ate Fasting Pills when he was with them and never ate any food. He didn’t expect it to change at this moment.

“Oh, it’s okay. I just do it casually.” Laughing, Liu Mufeng perfunctorily replied lightly. In fact, his skill was one aspect, but the ingredients were also relatively good. They grilled the fish by the stream to hide from people’s eyes and ears. In fact, this fish was not from the stream but a spiritual fish from Liu Mufeng dimension.

“This fish is mine!” Jiang Xu took the grilled fish directly from Liu Mufeng’s hand. Showing the appearance of a puppy guarding his food made Liu Mufeng wonder whether to laugh or cry.

“Ah, is this the Ninth Brother’s Dao companion Jiang Xu?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Muyan asked with a smile.‘No wonder you wanted to make grilled fish. Is it to please your wife?’The Ninth Brother and Jiang Xu had a very good relationship.

“Yes, this is my partner—Jiang Xu.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng introduced him generously.

“Fellow Daoist Liu.” Looking at Liu Muyan, Jiang Xu called out lightly, very perfunctorily.

“En!” Nodding, Liu Cheng took Liu Shu, Liu Zhen’er, and the Dong family sisters to catch fish together. The brothers Qiao Hong and Qiao Fei from the Qiao family also followed over to help.

“Ninth Brother, how have you been recently? Have you encountered any danger?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Liu Muyan asked with a smile.

“Thank you, Second Brother, for your concern. Everything is fine here.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng replied softly. The spiritual fish in his hand was constantly flipping over in his hand.

“Ninth Brother, I don’t have enough medicinal pills, and I want to exchange some second-level Rejuvenation Pills and Energy-Replenishing Pills with you.” Liu Muyan took out five jade boxes and gave them to Liu Mufeng.

Handing the fish in his hand to Jiang Xu next to him, Liu Mufeng checked the spiritual plants that Liu Muyan handed over. Then, nodding with satisfaction, he exchanged a batch of medicinal pills with Liu Muyan.

“Ninth Brother, I heard you have returned to the Wang family. The City Lord Wang also helped you contract a group of Five Elements Spiritual Insects. It changed your spiritual root problem. Fifth Sister is really happy for you.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Liu Wan’ersaid softly.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Thank you, Fifth Sister, for your concern.” If the Fourth Sister Liu Zhen’erwas a pig without a head, then the Fifth Sister Liu Wan’ercould definitely be called a scheming bitch. She was the most scheming woman. When she was not yet married, she would always trick the stupid Fourth Sister into doing whatever bad things she wanted to do on her behalf. As a result, the Fourth Sister was punished when something terrible happened, but she was fine and picked herself clean.

Seeing Liu Mufeng, who had a faint smile and was clearly alienated from her, Liu Wan’ercouldn’t help frowning. Previously, he still had five spiritual roots and has been despised by the family’s elders since he was a child. Therefore, their cousins and the whole Liu family also hated him. Thus, his relationship with these people has always been nasty. Unexpectedly, this trash person had become the most powerful and capable person among the nine brothers and sisters.

The person who was once looked down upon by them was now an existence they could not reach. This feeling was very frustrating. But what’s even more embarrassing was that to cleanse their spiritual roots, they had to curry favor with the person they once looked down on the most.

“Ninth Brother, since you can wash spiritual roots now, when will you wash spiritual roots for all of us?” The Eight Sister, Liu Shanshan asked.

Looking at Liu Shanshan, who was being bossy and questioned his partner commandingly, Jiang Xu frowned unconsciously. He was agitated.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Washing the spiritual roots? I can do it at any time. However, the price on my side has already risen. If you wash one spiritual root, the price will be 80 million spirit stones. Meanwhile, you have to add another 80 million spirit stones to widen the meridians. If you wash extra meridians, I also need to add another 80 million spirit stones. As long as the Eighth Sister has enough spirit stones, I can wash the spirit roots for you at any time.”

Hearing that, except for Liu Muyan, the faces of the other six turned pale. Actually, the price went up so quickly. One spiritual root was 80 million spirit stones, but was it not 160 million to wash off two spiritual roots before this? Thinking of this price, Liu Wan’ercouldn’t help but feel a little desperate.

Liu Shanshan was sullen. “Ninth Brother, what do you mean? I’m your Eighth Sister! You actually want a spirit stone from me?”

“Yeah, Ninth Brother, we are all a family. We should help each other. Since you have this ability, you should help everyone. How can you ask your family for spirit stones?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, their Seventh Sister, Liu Fei said the same.

Looking at the two siblings, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Seventh Sister is absolutely right. The whole family should help each other. In that case, the Seventh Sister and the Eight Sister might as well lend me 200 million spirit stones to help me and raise my 20,000 Spirit Insects, which they have to eat every day. A lot of spirit stones. I’m being robbed clean by their eating needs now. So I need the help of my family.”

Liu Shanshan’s face was ashen with anger. “Liu Mufeng, what are you saying, you bastard? Why do you want to borrow 200 million spirit stones from us?”

“Yeah, you don’t want to lend me 200 million spirit stones for no reason, so why should I wash your spiritual roots for nothing? Weren’t you just telling me to help each other? So you don’t want to help me? Then why should I help you?” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng raised the corner of his mouth coldly.

“Ninth Brother, you…” Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Liu Fei was speechless.

“Dead waste, you are just…”

Before Liu Shanshan could finish her words, she felt a majestic spiritual force pressing down directly from the top of her head. Her body staggered, and Liu Shanshan knelt on the ground with a plop. Her face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat dripped down her cheeks.

“You, you…” Her eyes widened in disbelief, and Liu Shanshan looked at Jiang Xu in shock.

“A four-star waste in the Spiritual Mortal Realm dares to insult my partner in front of me. Do you think I’m dead?” Jiang Xu ripped off the hidden jade from his waist and put it in his own storage ring. The coercion of a very powerful aura from his body once again pressed Liu Shanshan ruthlessly.

“Pfft…” Liu Shanshan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell directly to the ground.

“Eighth Sister, Eighth Younger Sister!” Seeing her sister lying on the ground, the Seventh Sister Liu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Seeing the suppressed Liu Shanshan, everyone was shocked. The only one who could suppress a cultivator in the Spiritual Mortal Realm to such a degree was the Spiritual Master Realm, but how was this possible? The secret realm had only been opened for less than eight months!

“Congratulations to Young Master Jiang’s promotion to the Spiritual Master Realm!” Liu Muyan was the first to respond and immediately congratulated Jiang Xu with a smile. The one who could suppress a cultivator in the Spiritual Mortal Realm to such an extent must be in the Spiritual Master Realm. No wonder he felt that the aura on Jiang Xu’s body was a little strange. It turned out that he had already advanced to the Spiritual Master Realm.

“Yeah, congratulations to Young Master Jiang.” Nodding, Liu Wan’erand Qiao Xiang also hurriedly congratulated, thinking,‘Wasn’t this Jiang Xu’s cultivation aptitude too outrageous? No wonder he was said to be the genius of the Jiang family. He has already advanced to the Spiritual Master Realm at nineteen!’

Jiang Xu glanced at the three of them coldly without saying a word.

“Forget it,XiaoXu.” Liu Mufeng smiled and wiped the corner of Jiang Xu’s mouth with a handkerchief.

Glancing at his partner, Jiang Xu withdrew his oppression just now.

Seeing Liu Shanshan lying on the ground shivering, Liu Muyan frowned. “Fifth and Seventh Sister help the Eighth Sister up.”

“En!” Nodding, the two immediately supported Liu Shanshan and left.

“Ninth Brother is fortunate. Not only did he return to the Wang family of Black Dragon City and become a third-level alchemist, but he also married such a powerful Daoist as Young Master Jiang. I’m really envious of you.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Sixth Brother Liu Yi laughed.

“Sixth Brother is overpraising.” Liu Mufeng glanced at him lightly with a smile. The Sixth and Fifth were brother and sister, and both were really good at scheming. The Sixth Brother didn’t speak even a word just now. He was just waiting for the Eighth and the Seventh Sister to be the path-finding stones.

“Ninth Brother, about washing the spiritual roots, can you consider helping us to wash our spiritual roots first? Then, after we leave the secret realm, we will gather the spirit stones and send them over to you. Everyone came to the secret realm to hunt for treasures, so we didn’t bring so many spirit stones with us.” Speaking of this, Liu Yi smiled embarrassedly.

“Small businesses will not be on credit.” Before waiting for Liu Mufeng to answer, Jiang Xu spoke directly.

“Eh…” Hearing Jiang Xu’s words, Liu Yi couldn’t help frowning, but he didn’t dare to say anything. What happened to the Eight Sister just now still lingered on his mind.

“If the Sixth Brother doesn’t have spirit stones, I will accept spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, spiritual flowers, and all kinds of treasures. They are all fine. As long as the Sixth Brother can get 80 million worth of spiritual treasures, he can also wash the spiritual roots.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Oh, that’s it.” Nodding, Liu Yi didn’t show it on his face, but his heart was filled with disgust.All genuine treasures were fine. What a joke. Are you expecting him to give Liu Mufeng all the spiritual treasures he has found with so much hard work?Then what was he doing in the secret realm?

“Ninth Brother, according to you, washing one spiritual root is 80 million spirit stones, and two is 160 million spirit stones, right?” Then, looking at Liu Mufeng, Qiao Xiang asked.

“Yes, Fifth Brother-in-law. If the Fifth Brother-in-law didn’t bring so many spirit stones, then genuine treasures can also be used in exchange for payment.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Oh, I see.” Nodding, Qiao Xiang expressed his understanding. 160 million was not a small amount. Even if he left the secret realm, his father would not necessarily take out so many spirit stones to wash his spiritual roots. Although their father was the town lord, the three brothers had three spiritual roots, so it was impossible for his father to wash the spiritual roots for every son. Unless he was his father’s only son. A cold killing intent flashed across Qiao Xiang’s eyes.
