Ch86 - The Shocked Heroine

TL Note:

Three months later,(10 months and thirteen days in the secret realm)

On this day, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu to a lake. Looking at the Golden Lotus that was about to bloom in the middle of the lake, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help raising the corner of his mouth. “The Golden Jade Lotus will bloom soon. If I can get the Golden Jade Lotus, I can refine the Golden Jade Pill.”

“What does the Golden Jade Pill do?” Looking at his partner, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“The Golden Jade Pill is also an elixir that assists in advancing to the Spiritual Master Realm. It is the same as the Golden Sun Pill. However, these two kinds of elixir can be used together to make a cultivator’s realm steady.” Liu Mufeng said while looking at his partner. This Golden Jade Lotus was also one of the opportunities that the male and female protagonists had acquired in the original novel, and it was one of the hard opportunities.

“Oh?” Hearing his lover’s words, Jiang Xu immediately became interested. He thought that if he could get this Golden Jade Lotus flower, his lover could refine the Golden Jade Pill. At that time, there would be two kinds of medicinal pills, the Golden Jade Pill and Golden Sun Pill, that would aid Mufeng in advancing to the Spiritual Master Realm comfortably.

“When the Golden Jade Lotus becomes mature, it will emit a faint medicinal fragrance. At that time, the demon beasts guarding this flower in the lake will inevitably compete for the lotus. I’m afraid that it will not be easy to get it.” Having said this, Liu Mufeng sighed, more than the demon beasts, there were also the male and female protagonists, and even other cultivators. It’s always difficult to grab food from a tiger’s mouth.

“What are you afraid of? I am here.” Jiang Xu smiled when he said this. He did not believe that with his strength, he couldn’t help his partner get this opportunity.

Looking at his smug wife, Liu Mufeng smiled happily. “Okay, then let’s set up a tent by the lake first. Let’s wait a few days, and when the lotus matures, if you can get it, try to get it. If you can’t get it, don’t be too reluctant to give it up.”

“Okay, I will listen to you.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

Three days later, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu did not wait for the Golden Jade Lotus to bloom, but instead waited for six acquaintances that appeared on the lake.

Seeing the male protagonist, female protagonist, Jiang Dong, Jiang Min, Xu Qianya, and Xu Qianshan who were approaching their location, Liu Mufeng’s and Jiang Xu’s mouth corners twitched. They did not greet them. The six people were also very knowledgeable and didn’t say anything.

Liu Mufeng caught a few fish in the lake, started a campfire outside the tent, and made fish head porridge for his partner. Jiang Xu, on the other hand, stayed by his lover’s side very quietly and helped his lover maintain the fire.

“It seems that they are also here for the Golden Jade Lotus.” Liu Mufeng frowned as he looked at the six people who were setting up tents.

Hearing his lover’s words, Jiang Xu nodded. “You’re right.” He also understood that the four major families all had Spiritual King Realm backers, and it was indeed not easy to offend them.

After the tent was set up, the six people gathered together and discussed the situation.

“XiaoXu and Liu Mufeng are here too, obviously they are also here for the Golden Jade Lotus.” Speaking of this, the male protagonist frowned deeply.

“Hmph! It doesn’t matter if they’re here. There’s just two of them. Are the six of us still afraid that we won’t succeed?” Speaking of this, Jiang Dong looked disdainful.

“Don’t be too complacent. The current Jiang Xu gives me a feeling of something strange. I.. I feel very uneasy when I see the two of them.” The heroine frowned as she said this. From childhood to adulthood, her intuitions have been very accurate. Many times, she could rely on her own intuitions to find some good things, or avoid some dangers. Seeing Jiang Xu today, inexplicably, the heroine felt terrified and uneasy. She didn’t think it was a good sign. This time, the Golden Jade Lotus may not be so easy to obtain.

Hearing the heroine’s words, the hero frowned. “We have three nine-stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm here, and no matter how powerful Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng are, they are at most two nine-stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm, coupled with Liu Mufeng’s group of bugs, they shouldn’t be stronger than the six of us, right?”

On their side, other than him, Jiang Dong and Shishi were all nine stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm, Jiang Min and Xu Qianya were five stars in the Spiritual Realm, Xu Qianshan was nine stars in the Spiritual Realm, so their overall strength was not too much weak. Even if it was to deal with two nine stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm, there was still a chance of victory.

“You’re right, but there will be a lot of demon beasts competing with us for the Golden Jade Lotus. If we have to deal with both the demon beasts and Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng, I’m afraid we may not be able to get the lotus.” Speaking of this, the female protagonist frowned.

“Then, what do you think we should do?” Looking at his partner, Xiao Zhantian asked.

“Perhaps, we can talk to Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng. Maybe the eight of us can join hands together to get the Golden Jade Lotus?” After thinking about it, the heroine came up with this solution.

Hearing this, Jiang Dong looked disdainful. “With our strength, we don’t need to join forces with them at all.”

“Brother, I think what Fellow Daoist Meng said makes sense. No matter what, we and Jiang Xu are family.” Xu Qianshan felt that this was a good time to repair the relationship between the Jiang family and Jiang Xu. If the relationship became good, then he wouldn’t have to worry about washing his spiritual roots.

“Yes, Brother, have you forgotten what Grandpa said before we left for the secret realm?” Looking at his brother, Jiang Min reminded him seriously.

Hearing this, Jiang Dong’s face twisted. Grandpa asked him to befriend Jiang Xu and bring that bastard back to the family, saying that if Jiang Xu returned to the family, he could find Liu Mufeng to wash his spiritual roots. Thinking of this opportunity, Jiang Dong gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly. “All right.”

Seeing Jiang Dong nod, the male protagonist thought for a while. “Well, since everyone agrees, let’s talk to them later.”

“Okay.” Nodding, everyone agreed.

When the hero and the heroine and their group approached the tent on the far side of the lake, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were eating.

Seeing the six people approaching, both raised their heads and looked at them, frowning while their hearts said, “What are these people planning now?”

“XiaoXu, Fellow Daoist Liu, it’s been a long time.” When he came over, the male protagonist sat beside Jiang Xu with a pleasant face, and the others also sat around him.

“Brother Zhantian.” Jiang Xu responded back indifferently. Moreover, the other party consisted of a total of six people. He greeted Xiao Zhantian alone, and did not greet the other five people.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Meng.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng also greeted the male and female protagonists. The Jiang family and the Xu family were ignored.

“XiaoXu, Fellow Daoist Liu, you are here for the Golden Jade Lotus, right?” Looking at the two, Xiao Zhantian went straight to the point.

“We actually didn’t know there was a Golden Jade Lotus here. We just happened to pass by here and didn’t leave when we saw the lotus flower. We’ve been here for three days.” Liu Mufeng said lightly with a smile.

“Oh, so it is.” Nodding, the male protagonist expressed his understanding. They were able to find this place because his partner Shishi felt that there was a spiritual treasure here, so they came to find it specially, but Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu just came across it by chance. He had to say, the luck of these two people was really good.

“XiaoXu, Fellow Daoist Liu, since everyone is here for the Golden Jade Lotus, why don’t the eight of us join forces to capture the Golden Jade Lotus, what do the two Fellow Daoists think?” Looking at the two, the heroine suggested her idea with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu sneered. “No need, I promised my partner that I will personally pick that lotus flower and give it to him.”Joining forces with Meng Shishi? He doesn’t want it. He grew up with Meng Shishi, didn’t he know the virtues of this woman? How could he join forces with such a person?

“XiaoXu, the effect of directly absorbing the spiritual energy of the lotus is not good enough. Only by refining the Golden Jade Lotus into the Golden Jade Pill, can it assist the cultivator of the nine stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm to advance to the Spiritual Master Realm. Shishi is a third-level alchemist, and she can refine the Golden Jade Lotus into pills. After we get the lotus together, we can let Shishi refine it into medicinal pills, and then we will share them equally, isn’t that very good?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the male protagonist entreated.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu smiled in disbelief. “No need, Brother Zhantian. Meng Shishi is not the only alchemist in this realm.”

Hearing this, the six of them were taken aback. The heroine’s eyes fell suspiciously on Liu Mufeng, “Fellow Daoist Liu is an alchemist?”

Looking at the stunned heroine, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Is it strange that I am an alchemist? I remember that when we first met, Fellow Daoist Meng initially guessed that I was an alchemist?”

“You, are you an alchemist?” The male protagonist was also shocked. He did not expect that Liu Mufeng was actually an alchemist. After the first meeting, Xiao Zhantian once went to investigate the matter of Liu Mufeng, and found that Liu Mufeng was just an unsatisfactory five-spiritual waste of the Liu family, so he didn’t take this person seriously. But he didn’t expect that Liu Mufeng’s identity would be exposed after that, and his ability to cleanse the root also shocked everyone. This made the male protagonist think that the Liu Mufeng he had heard of was not the same person as the Liu Mufeng he had met back then. However, it was later confirmed that it was indeed the same person.

“How could it be?” Knowing that Liu Mufeng was the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City and he could wash his spiritual roots, Grandpa couldn’t wait to take Jiang Xu home. If Grandpa knew that Liu Mufeng was also an alchemist, wouldn’t Grandpa be even more crazy? Thinking of this, Jiang Dong felt very depressed.

“Is it hard for people to accept that I am an alchemist? Fellow Daoist Meng has a family background, and has an alchemy teacher, she was taught by her grandfather. Don’t I have a family background? I have the blood of an alchemist flowing through me.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, the heroine’s face twisted. “So, your alchemy technique was learned from the third master of Black Dragon City? Was it your uncle who taught you?”

Seeing the heroine’s hideous appearance, Liu Mufeng smiled. “I lived in Black Dragon City for five years from the age of fourteen to nineteen.” This was true, but how to interpret it was based on a person’s own understanding.

“You mean, you have learned alchemy techniques from the third master Wang for five years, and now you are a second-level alchemist?”

“Fellow Daoist Liu, the Golden Lotus Pill is a third-level medicinal pill. Even if you are a second-level alchemist, you cannot refine this Pill.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the male protagonist reminded“kindly”.

“My family’s Mufeng is a third-level alchemist, not a second-level alchemist.” Jiang Xu felt quite proud when he said this. His partner was a third-level alchemist, much more powerful than that bitch Meng Shishi.

“Third,third-level? How could it be? How could it be possible?” Hearing Jiang Xu’s words, the heroine turned pale in shock.Third level? Was Liu Mufeng also a third-level alchemist? How come? How come? He only learned alchemy for five years, how could he become a third-level alchemist in such a short time?
