Chapter 1606: Giving Up Vitality stones

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

“Get out of my way! How dare you block me! Do you want to die?” Qinqing Mu angrily said as she pointed at the four guards.

The four guards remained silent but they coldly smiled. The black spears in their hands blocked Qingqing Mu’s way, not letting her enter unless she gave up some vitality stones.

At that moment, the atmosphere around the gate was tense, and any movement would trigger a fight to break out.

The crowd watched and commented in the distance.

“Did you see that? She’s the Mu Family’s second daughter and she’s very famous in the Greater Luo City, but even she was threatened to hand over vitality stones.”

“I know, I didn’t want to give up a vitality stone but was beaten. In the end, I had to give it to them.”

“Did you see that a member of a small clan was killed? Because he was relying on his position in the Greater Luo City and tried not to pay the vitality stone.”

“What are you talking about? I’ve lived in the Greater Luo City for decades and never had to give up vitality stones. Why do I have to now?”

“Who knows, I heard that it was the young city lord, the son of the city lord. No one would dare to resist.”

All the self cultivators in the surrounding area were quietly exchanging their opinions.

Most of these people were unsatisfied with the vitality stone toll, but they could not do anything about it.

Standing up to the young city lord would be futile, as they were only normal self cultivators.

Qingfeng Li heard everything and he frowned. He felt something was out of the ordinary.

Normally, the gatekeepers of a city would not ask self cultivators for vitality stones.

The order was not even from the city lord, it was from his son, which was a little strange.

Qingfeng Li did not have any vitality stones on him, but if he did, he wouldn’t mind handing over some stones.

As for Qingqing Mu, she had escaped from her family and did not bring any vitality stones with her, so it would be impossible for her to hand over any, resulting in the stalemate.

Qingfeng Li was standing behind Qingqing Mu and he pursed his eyebrows together. He found out that the four guards were all very strong, reaching the late stage of the earthly spirit realm.

Qingqing Mu was only in the mid stage of the earthly spirit realm, being significantly weaker than the guards. If they were to fight, she would not be able to win.

All the other self cultivators were spectating, none of them willing to come over to thaw the situation, because they did not favor either parties. Qingqing Mu was from the Mu Family, one of the four big families of the Greater Luo City, and the self cultivators had no good feelings towards these big families.

Boom… boom… boom…

Suddenly, footsteps of a horse could be heard coming out from the inside of the city. The footsteps were very rapid.

A black clothed young man rode a giant black stallion from the inside of the city and arrived to the gate within moments.

The young man was at most twenty two years old, and righteousness was seeping through his handsome face. He had thick black eyebrows and was holding a whip. Sitting on a two meter tall horse, a strong aura seeped through his body.

“Young Captain, why are you here?” the tall guards said as they respectfully bowed.

Seeing the young man made Qingqing Mu frown. She loudly said, “Ning Ye, are you the one that ordered the guards to collect vitality stones? Hurry up and let me in.”

The black clothed young man named Ning Ye shook his head and said, “Sorry, Second Miss. It’s the young city lord’s orders, and I am only following the orders. Anyone who tries to enter from the Wild Animal Kingdom must hand over a spirit level vitality stone, and nobody can be excluded.”

Qingqing Mu became angry. She thought that since Ning Ye came, she could skip out on giving up vitality stones. Clearly, this was the young city master’s idea.

Qingqing Mu was very embarrassed, especially after she thought about how she had bragged to Qingfeng Li before. The Mu Family was very famous in the Greater Luo city and everyone respected her. She would never have thought that she would be blocked at the gate.

“Second Miss, if you don’t have a vitality stone, I can lend you one and you can pay me back later,” he said to Qingqing Mu.

“Who said that I don’t have a vitality stone,” Qingqing Mu unhappily said as she pouted and frowned.

But in the next moment, Qingqing Mu’s face became awkward, as she could not find a vitality stone anywhere on her body.

Ning Ye could see Qingqing Mu’s embarrassment and hurry. He took out a spirit level vitality stone and threw it to the guard. He said, “I’ll pay for the second miss, let her in.”

A tall guard nodded and retreated to the side, since they clearly recognize Ning Ye.

He was the Greater Luo City’s Black Armored Guard Team’s captain’s son, the team that was responsible for protecting the city and the lord.

Strictly speaking, the four black armored guards belonged to the black armored team, but now they were under the orders of the young city lord and must collect vitality stones.

“Second Miss, I’ve already given up a vitality stone for you, why aren’t you entering?” Ning Ye asked Qingqing Mu with doubt.

Qingqing Mu shook her head and said, “I have three friends here. You have to let them in.”

After saying that, Qingqing Mu pointed at Qingfeng Li, Li Yang, and Black Puppy.

Upon hearing Qingqing Mu, Ning frowned and looked towards the three.

Ning Ye saw that Qingfeng Li’s aura was only in the true spirit realm. He could not understand why such a weak self cultivator would be so important to Qingqing Mu.

Beside Qingfeng Li was a pretty woman. She was somewhat strong and was in the heavenly spirit realm. Beside the two was a dog who was also in the heavenly spirit realm, as a powerful aura spread from its body.

Ning Ye did not think that they were important, as Ning Ye was also in the heavenly spirit realm and was much stronger than the woman.

“Very sorry, Second Miss. I don’t have many spirit level vitality stone either, I can only give up for you. If they do not have any, they can only stay out here.

Ning Ye lightly smiled but he had no emotions in his eyes. He would only help Qingqing Mu in and not the others.

Chapter 1607: City of Self Cultivation

Hearing Ning Ye say that only she was allowed in and Qingfeng Li and the others weren’t, her bright eyes became unsatisfied.

Qingfeng Li had saved Qingqing Mu’s life and she had promised him that she would bring him into the Greater Luo City and assign him a position in the Mu Family.

Qingqing Mu looked at Ning Ye and said, “Ning Ye, I must bring Qingfeng Li and the others in. I’ll borrow the spirit level vitality stones from you and pay you back later.”

Ning Ye shook his head and casually said, “Qingqing Mu, that is not possible. Today the young city lord gave others that from now on, anyone entering the Greater Luo City from the Wild Animal Kingdom must give up vitality stones. Those who don’t are not allowed in, and there are no exceptions.”

Qingqing Mu was enraged by Ning Ye’s words. She said that she would pay him back, but it was futile since she did not have any vitality stones on her.

Qingfeng Li did not talk, because he could see that Ning Ye was strong and in the heavenly spirit realm. Based on his current strength, he could not fight him, so he must endure it.

Ta ta ta ta…

Suddenly, more horse footsteps could be heard from inside the Greater Luo City. A green shirt young man rode a horse to the gate.

The youth was young, about sixteen years old. His face still had some baby fat but he was very handsome. He arrived at the gate quickly.

“Second Sister, I heard from people that you’ve arrived at the gate. Why aren’t you going in?” the youth said to Qingqing Mu.

The young man was not any ordinary person, he was the third son of the Mu family, and Qingqing Mu was his older sister.

Qingqing Mu became happy when she saw the youth. She loudly said, “Jun Mu, give me three vitality stones so I can go in with Qingfeng Li and the others.”

Jun Mu’s young face became confused as he said, “Second sister, you know that spirit level vitality stones are very precious and I don’t have a lot of it. I don’t know any of these people, why should I let them in?”

Qingqing Mu’s face became unsatisfied as she said, “You are my brother, if I ask you to give me vitality stones, you should do it immediately. What’s with the useless talk?”

“Second sister, I only have three vitality stones left, and I need it to breakthrough. I won’t give it to you. At most I will let you in.” Shaking his head, Jun Mu refused Qingqing Mu’s request.

Qingqing Mu was extremely angry. She stepped forwards and arrived in front of Jun Mu like a flash of lightning. She held him and searched him, retrieving three vitality stones.

“Second sister, are you still my sister? How could you treat me like this and take away my vitality stones,” he angrily said to Qingqing Mu.

In the past, Qingqing Mu treated Jun Mu very well and spoiled him. If anyone picked on Jun Mu, she would stand up for him. She had even given him vitality stones for his cultivation.

Currently, Jun Mu was at the edge of breaking through and must rely on the power from the three vitality stones to advance. Now that Qingqing Mu had taken them away, achieving the breakthrough would be difficult.

“Little Brother, help your sister out this one time. I had promised Qingfeng Li and the others to bring them into the city,” she said as she apologetically looked at Jun Mu.

Qingqing Mu knew that her actions would affect her brother’s practice, but there was no other choice. She must bring Qingfeng Li and the others in because she had promised them.

Qingfeng Li saw everything and felt moved.

He had thought that Qingqing Mu was a highborn woman from a big family and was prideful. He wouldn’t have thought that her heart was so kind and that she would keep her promise, actually willing to give up three spirit level vitality stones to get them inside.

“Ning Ye, here are three spirit level vitality stones. Can I bring them in now?” she said as she threw the three vitality stones to Ning Ye.

Taking the three vitality stones, Ning Ye calmly said, “Of course, these stones are for your brother to break through, but you would rather spend it for these people.”

“It’s none of your business, it is mine,” she coldly said to Ning Ye as she glared at him.

To get into the city, she had to sacrifice four spirit level vitality stones, which made her a bit bitter.

Qingqing Mu and Jun Mu led the way as Qingfeng Li, Li Yang, and Black Puppy followed.

As they entered the city, they saw a wide road.

The road was very wide, about 15 or so meters. On the two sides of the road were tall structures, including blacksmiths, talisman shops, pill vendors, and spiritual treasure stores as well as others.

Many people were going in and out of the city, and most of them were self cultivators.

They entered the spiritual treasure store to buy spiritual treasures, while some entered alchemy stores to purchase pills, and some entered demonic beast stores to trade dead demonic beasts for vitality stones.

The entire Greater Luo City seemed to be thriving, and as Qingfeng Li looked out, he discovered that these self cultivators were all very strong. They were at least in the true spirit realm, and there were some that were in the earthly and heavenly spirit realms.

Everyone was strong, and there were both men and women. The oldest were seventy to eighty year old elders, and the youngest were fifteen and sixteen year old youths.

The Greater Luo City could be referred to as a city of self cultivation. Different than other cities on earth, the Greater Luo City was filled with self cultivators.

The air was filled with large amounts of vital essence. One breath could ingest the vital essence inside one’s body, but there were impurities in the vital essence that needed to be refined.

Qingfeng Li frowned as he felt an angry glare on him.

He turned to see that the angry glare came from none other than Jun Mu.

Jun Mu’s young face was filled with anger as he furiously glared at Qingfeng Li, almost as if he was his archnemesis.

Qingfeng Li smiled at him and did not speak. He was humored.

He found it funny that Jun Mu blamed Qingfeng Li for his loss of vitality stones, when it was clearly his sister who took it.

Jun Mu walked besides Qingfeng Li and said, “Qingfeng Li, I heard my sister say your name. I don’t care what method you used to deceive her to steal my vitality stones, but I am telling you, those spirit level vitality stones were mine and I am very angry.”

Chapter 1608: Entering the Mu Family

When he heard Jun Mu’s words, Qingfeng Li frowned and said, “Jun Mu, I am telling you that I am not the one who took your vitality stones. If you want to start trouble, go look for your older sister, because she is the one who took them.”

Jun Mu made a humph sound and angrily glared at Qingfeng Li with dismay again.

He did not dare to cause trouble with his sister, because she was very eccentric. Although she spoiled him, she also liked to bully him occasionally and take his things.

“Jun Mu, what are you fussing about? I am telling you that you can’t bully Qingfeng Li, he’s my friend,” she warned Jun Mu as she frowned.

“Sister, what are you talking about? Qingfeng Li is your friend, I wouldn’t bully him. We are just having a friendly chat,” Jun Mu smiled as he said.

Qingfeng Li calmly smiled and remained silent. He did not mind the young man because he was Qingqing Mu’s brother and had given up three spirit level vitality stones. It was only normal if he was unhappy.

After some moments, Qingqing Mu, Qingfeng Li, and the others arrived at the Mu Family.

The Mu Family was one of the four most prominent families of the Greater Luo City and was located at the north side of the city.

There was a huge building several tens of thousands of square meters in size, that was made of smaller sections. Tall walls surrounded the sections that were made of emerald bricks, golden pillars, and jade tiles.

There was a giant red door in the front that was about two meters tall, with two golden rings in the middle. The door was formal and conspicuous.

On the two sides of the door were two stone lions. The lions were crafted so realistically and mightily that passerbys would unconsciously gaze at it in admiration.

In front of the door was guarded by two tall guards. Each of them was 2 meters tall and covered with muscle. Their strengths also reached the low level of the true spirit realm.

“Second Miss, Third Young Master, you’ve returned,” the two guards said as they respectfully bowed.

Qingqing Mu nodded and said, “This is Qingfeng Li, my friend. He’ll be staying with us for a while. Don’t block his way when he tries to enter.”

Qingqing Mu pointed at Qingfeng Li and the others and introduced them to the guards.

“Yes, Second Miss,” the two guards bowed and said.

After saying that, Qingqing Mu brought Qingfeng Li and the others into the Mu Family.

The two guards strangely looked at Qingfeng Li’s silhouette.

They knew that the second mistress was very proud and did not care about anyone.

The second mistress also did not have many friends in the Greater Luo City, so when she brought a handsome youth, a pretty woman, and a puppy into the house today, it was strange.

The tall guard on the left asked the other guard, “Hey bro, have you seen that guy before? How come I’ve never seen him in the Greater Luo City before?”

The guard on the right nodded and answered, “I’ve never seen him either. Just then the second mistress called him Qingfeng Li. I don’t know where he came from, but it looks like the second mistress thinks that he’s important.”

Qingfeng Li’s hearing was very good and heard every single word from the guards.

Something Qingfeng Li now knew about the second mistress was that she was proud and arrogant in her family. Otherwise she would not leave home and almost get killed in the Wilderness.

But the second mistress was also a woman of her words. She fulfilled her promise and brought him to the Mu Family.

When Qingfeng Li entered the property, he saw that the building was very big. The paths were paved with smooth and shiny green rocks.

On either sides of the road there were many tall evergreen trees, a tree native to the Crimson Fire Mainland. The trees would never die and stay green for all four seasons. As well, they carried a refreshing scent.

In the middle of the courtyard was a giant pond, home to many different types of flowers and goldfish.

The goldfish swam around the pond, not afraid of the strangers.

In the east side of the courtyard were some spirit herbs that were separated by fences. They were professionally cared for.

On the west side was a huge pavillion that held many different types of games, tea sets, and other entertainment equipment.

In the north was a large battleground for training. It was three thousand meters in area and took up about one quarter of the area of the residence.

Qingfeng Li saw many young men training there. Some were punching and others were kicking but almost all of them were shouting and shooting vital essence around.

The young men were disciples of the Mu Family. Some were immediate family members and others were from distant families, and there were even some children of servents. They were all practicing together.

In the south side was a tall building. On it, there were three letters that said: Cultivation Technique Library. This place was where all the cultivation techniques of the family were stored and provided to the family’s disciples.

Of course, not everyone had the authority to enter. Only those who were useful to the family could get in.

Qingqing Mu led Qingfeng Li and the others as they toured the premises, and all the passerbys shot strange looks towards the group.

Everyone knew that the second mistress had very few friends in the family, and especially male friends. Now that she had brought with her a handsome young man, how could they not be surprised?

“Could it be that the handsome man is the second mistress’s boyfriend? But it doesn’t look like it since they’re not holding hands.” Everyone inside the building began discussing.

Black Puppy appeared to be very quiet as it followed behind Qingfeng Li.

It knew that when it arrived at a new environment, it needed to be more down to Earth. Since it was not very strong now, it will act more restrained until it became stronger.

After a while, Qingqing Mu brought Qingfeng Li, Li Yang, and Black Puppy to a room belonging to the management.

Inside that room, there was a eighty year old man who had white hair and a shriveled face. His face was wrinkled as well as his clothes. He quietly sat in the room as he calculated the bills with an abacus.

The old man was named Hai Mu, the butler of the Mu Family. He controlled all the matters of the family, such as the funds, jobs, cultivation techniques, distribution of pills, and more mundane matters such as food, clothing, and shelter.

Chapter 1609: Disciple of the Spirit Herbs Garden

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Seeing Qingqing Mu enter, Hai Mu stood up and said, “Second Miss, you’ve finally found the time to come here. It’s been a long time.”

Qingqing Mu’s bright eyes became embarrassed because what Hai Mu said was right.

When she was younger, Qingqing Mu often played with Grandfather Hai Mu here and he had taught her a lot.

But as she got older, she became more disobedient and took a liking to eccentric habits and bullying others. She had not seen Grandfather Hai Mu in a long time.

Now, Qingqing Mu became embarrassed from hearing Hai Mu’s remark. She explained, “Grandfather Hai Mu, I’ve been busy lately. When I have the time, I will visit you more.”

Hai Mu laughed and lovingly looked at Qingqing Mu. He loved the girl as he had watched her grow up.

Hai Mu had been at the Mu family for a long time. He had been there for a whole seventy years and accompanied three generations of family patriarchs.

“Second mistress, what do you want today? I know that you don’t visit unless you want something.” He chuckled as he looked at Qingqing Mu.

Qingqing Mu gave him a thumbs up and said, “Grandfather Hai Mu, you are so smart. I’m here today to ask you for a favor. Please arrange jobs for Qingfeng Li and Li Yang, they are my friends.”

Qingqing Mu pointed at Qingfeng Li and Li Yang, introducing them to Hai Mu.

Hai Mu turned and looked at Li Yang and Qingfeng Li.

When he looked at Qingfeng Li, Hai Mu’s eyes became doubtful. He could clearly feel that Qingfeng Li was only in the true spirit realm, but he gave off a dangerous aura that made Hai Mu fearful.

Hai Mu had a gut feeling that even him, someone in the earthly spirit realm, would not win in a fight against the young man. It was a gut feeling that could only come with age.

Li Yang made Hai Mu’s eyes shine. The pretty young woman was actually in the heavenly spirit realm, being even stronger than him.

Having a high level at such a young age indicated superior gift, which made Hai Mu satisfied.

“Second Miss, this young lady you brought here is not bad. She’s in heavenly spirit realm and I can arrange for her to be a deacon. She can get a vital essence pill once a month,” Hai Mu said to Qingqing Mu.

Qingqing Mu smiled and said, “Thanks, Grandfather Hai Mu. But I want you to arrange a position for Qingfeng Li too, give him the best position possible.”

Upon hearing Qingqing Mu, Hai Mu frowned. Qingfeng Li was only in true spirit realm, the lowest level of self-cultivators in the Mu Family. He wondered what position would fit.

The Mu Family was one of the four prominent families of the Greater Luo City with a population in the thousands. The immediate family had hundreds and they occupied the good jobs and positions.

“Qingqing Mu, the spirit herb garden is lacking a disciple. Let Qingfeng Li go there,” he said.

Qingqing Mu pouted and said, “Grandfather Hai Mu, Qingfeng Li is my good friend. How could you let him be a disciple at the garden? At least give him something that pays a pill every month.”

Hai Mu bitterly laughed and said, “Qingqing Mu, the spirit herb garden is a great job with lots of fat for one to harvest. He can plant herbs there. The deacon position at the garden is already occupied by the son of the first elder.”

Qingqing Mu wanted to talk back, but now that Hai Mu had said that the management positions of the family were all gone.

Other than being a disciple, Qingfeng Li had to do janitorial work, like washing clothes, dishes, and cleaning.

After hearing their conversation, Qingfeng Li had a rough understanding of the Mu Family. It was a large family and had complicated internal relationships.

Everyone valued their immediate family’s benefits, especially the elders that valued their direct descendants. Even the family head’s daughter did not have much say over the allocation of jobs.

Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “Qingqing Mu, thanks for trying. I am only in the true spirit realm and being a disciple in the spirit herb garden is already good enough. I need to start from the bottom to prevent others from saying that I am entering the Mu Family due to my relationship with you.”

Qingfeng Li actually had his own plans. He had the Golden Flames and the Golden Alchemy Art, an immortal level alchemy technique. All that he lacked was spiritual herbs, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures.

If Qingfeng Li goes to the spirit herb garden, he will be in close proximity of the spirit herbs.

If he could obtain some, Qingfeng Li can practice alchemy arts and use pills to get stronger.

Qingqing Mu did not know Qingfeng Li’s plans and thought that Qingfeng Li was only accepting the position because he thought she doesn’t have much influence.

“I am so sorry, Qingfeng Li. Don’t worry and be a disciple at the garden for now. In the future I will promote you to a managerial position,” Qingqing Mu apologetically said to Qingfeng Li.

“Second Miss, assigning me to the spiritual herb garden already means a lot to me. I am very thankful already,” he said to Qingqing Mu as he smiled.

Qingqing Mu talked with Hai Mu for a bit longer and left for the spirit herb garden with Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy.

As for Li Yang, she did not leave but was assigned to be a deacon elsewhere.

As she was in the heavenly spirit realm and was considered strong in the Mu family.

When Qingfeng Li was leaving, Li Yang did not want to follow Hai Mu and wanted to stay with Qingfeng Li.

It made Hai Mu very confused, as Li Yang was in the heavenly spirit realm, much higher than the realm of Qingfeng Li. But Li Yang looked like she was the servant of Qingfeng Li and followed his every move.

“Li Yang, I’ve assigned you a deacon position in the Mu Family and you can get a pill once a month to help with your practice. Why do you want to be with Qingfeng Li?” Hai Mu asked her with a confused face.

Qingfeng Li originally wanted to leave, but he also stopped to look at Li Yang.

Li Yang slightly smiled as determination appeared in her eyes. She said, “I almost lost my life in the Wilderness of Wild Beasts and it was Qingfeng Li who saved me. I have to be with him.”

Qingfeng Li was slightly surprised as he felt that Li Yang had a good personality, knowing how to pay someone back. Even when she was at the Mu Family, one of the four prominent families of the Greater Luo City, she was still concerned about him.

Chapter 1610: Manager Ming Mu

However, Qingfeng Li did not intend to let Li Yang follow him because he had too many secrets, such as the Golden Flames. These were not things that he could let an outsider know about as it was his and Black Puppy’s secret trump cards in case they face danger.

This was not because Qingfeng Li did not believe Li Yang, but he feared being discovered by other people with bad intentions, provoking unnecessary troubles.

Thinking about it, Li Yang was a heavenly spirit realm master. If she followed someone from the true spirit realm and acted so obedient and respectful to them, it would certainly arouse suspicion.

Qingfeng Li walked up to Li Yang’s side and said, “Li Yang, if you treat me as your elder brother, just listen to me and follow Hai Mu. Let him arrange a management position for you. If you have pills, just give me some to refine, this will also be helpful to me.”

Originally, Li Yang wanted to follow Qingfeng Li and did not want to be a manager, but now hearing what he said, her eyes revealed a touch of light.

She felt that Qingfeng Li was right. Once she became one of the Mu Family’s deacons, she could receive a pill every month. At that time, she could send the pill to Qingfeng Li and could be regarded as returning the favor.

“Okay, Elder Brother Li, I’ll listen to you. I’ll give you the pill next month when I receiveit.” Li Yang was delighted and left the management room with Hai Mu.

Qingqing Mu smirked and said, “Qingfeng Li, I did not expect this woman to listen your words.”

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly, remained silent, then said, “Qingqing Mu, quickly take me to the Spirit Herbs Garden.”

Qingqing Mu nodded and took Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy towards the garden.

The Spirit Herbs Garden was located to the north of the Mu Family, where spirit herbs were cultivated in a fenced off area.

Qingqing Mu and the two were moving really fast and arrived there quickly.

Qingfeng Li looked around and found the Spirit Herbs Garden had appeared and was about a kilometer in size, planted with a variety of spirit herbs from tier one to tier four spirit.

Qingfeng Li could identify most of the spirit herbs were grown here. Of course, there were very few that Qingfeng Li did not know about, as they only grew in the Crimson Fire Continent. There was none on earth.

There was a chubby middle-aged man with no beard tending the Spirit Herbs Garden.

The middle-aged man walked around Spirit Herbs Garden, controlling the rain to drizzle from the clouds as he chanted. The water-type essence poured from the sky and the mists watered the spirit herbs.

This chubby middle-aged man was the son of the Mu’s Family Senior Elder, known as Ming Mu, who managed everything in the Spirit Herbs Garden.

This was a very good job because managing the Spirit Herbs Garden could allow him to secretly pocket some spirit herbs.

Of course, other people did not know Ming Mu used spirit herbs in exchange for vitality stones and other treasures, and he could even go to restaurants within the Greater Luo City to eat and drink by paying in spirit herbs, which was also why he was so chubby.

Seeing Qingqing Mu came over with a strange youth and a dog, Ming Mu frowned and said, “Second Miss, why did you come here? I’ve never seen you coming to the Spirit Herbs Garden before.”

Qingqing Mu smiled faintly and said, “I see that Brother Ming is busy. This is my friend Qingfeng Li. Grandpa Hai Mu just arranged a task for him to be an apprentice in Spirit Herbs Garden. I hope you can lead him and teach him some knowledge of spirit herbs.”

Ming Mu frowned slightly, a touch of surprise appearing in his eyes. He turned around and looked at Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy.

He was sure that he had never seen this youth in Mu’s Family and Greater Luo City. How could he become friends with the Second Miss? That’s unbelievable.

“Second Miss, our Spirit Herbs Garden just took in the Third Elder’s grandson as an apprentice. We are not in need for people now. Why don’t you let Qingfeng Li go somewhere else?” Ming smiled faintly and said.

Qingqing Mu frowned and said, “Ming Mu, he is my friend. I just said I talked to Grandpa Hai Mu already. He told me my family has no extra positions, so now we can only let Qingfeng Li be an apprentice here.”

Ming Mu originally wanted to refuse, but Qingqing Mu was persisting, so he could not do anything. After all, Qingqing Mu was the second miss of the Mu Family. If this matter gets to the head of the clan, the patriarch would still be on the Second Miss’s side.

“Second Miss, since you said so, let’s let Qingfeng Li stay in Spirit Herbs Garden then.” Ming Mu smiled faintly, agreeing to Qingqing Mu’s request.

Qingqing Mu nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Qingfeng Li and said, “Do well here. When there’s a suitable position for you, I will arrange for you again.”

After that, Qingqing Mu wiggled her slender waist and turned away.

She had just returned from the wilderness of wild beasts and suffered from shock, so her own strength and vital essence had also been greatly consumed. Now she needed to go back to the family’s Medicine Pavilion and get some alchemy pills to help her recover her vital essence.

After seeing Qingqing Mu left, Ming Mu’s smile instantly became indifferent. He looked at Qingfeng Li coldly, not having a good feeling about him.

“Qingfeng Li, you are an apprentice at Spirit Herbs Garden, so your task here is to remove the weeds in the garden, then take the bucket and water every spirit herb,” Ming Mu ordered Qingfeng Li with a toneless voice.

As for Qingfeng Li, Ming Mu was extremely unhappy with him because he accepted benefits from Third Elder to arrange the Third Elder’s grandson to work at the Spirit Herbs Garden. However, he did not realize there would be an extra person, Qingfeng Li.

Black Puppy was very dissatisfied because it heard the tone Ming Mu was using. It felt Ming Mu was holding Qingfeng Li in contempt, which was really looking for death.

Black Puppy took a step forward and wanted to teach Ming Mu a lesson, but was stopped by Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li transmitted a voice transmission secretly and said, “Puppy, we are now in the Mu Family. Do not stir up trouble. Wait till our strength is improved, then we come kick Ming Mu’s ass.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s voice transmission, Black Puppy nodded. It also knew what Qingfeng Li said was right, Qingfeng Li and its strength were only in the true spirit realm now. Even if they wanted to teach Ming Mu a lesson, they could not beat him. The only thing that they could do was to be patient.

Black Puppy also knew why Qingfeng Li wanted to come to Spirit Herbs Garden; he fancied the spirit herbs here.

Qingfeng Li knew how to refine pills, so once he was able to refine a high-tier alchemy pill, he could use it to enhance his cultivation level.

“Manager Ming Mu, I accept your request to go pull the weeds.” Qingfeng Li smiled faintly and said.

After that, Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy left.

Following Ming Mu’s request, they went to a small room aside to take a hoe.

This hoe was like a normal hoe, but it was made from Black Crystal Steel, a precious ore that contained a glimmer of vital essence energy. It was very hard and sharp, making it easy to plough the grounds of the Spirit Herbs Garden.

Qingfeng Li tried a bit and found that this black hoe was quite smooth, but slightly heavier.

Chapter 1611: All of them Wanted to Accept Xue Lin as a Disciple

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

While Qingfeng Li had become a disciple of Mu Family’s Spirit Herbs Garden, Xue Lin was facing her own fate as well.

At this point, in the far north of Crimson Fire Continent, there was the Dark Ice Sect.

The Dark Ice Sect was one of the most powerful sects in the northern part of the Crimson Fire Continent. The sect was composed of mostly women, and they specialized in Ice Martial Techniques. Of course, there were some male disciples, but only a few in number. They were either really talented or were born in the Sect; only these people could enter Dark Ice Sect.

As a Crimson Fire Continent honor level sect, the Dark Ice Sect had a prestigious reputation.

In the entire continent, many people hoped that they could get into Dark Ice Sect, becoming one of their disciples.

However, the Dark Ice Sect recruitment conditions were extremely harsh. There were never more than twenty people that could become their disciples each year.

As well, these twenty disciples could only be recruited in the most common discipleships, and they would not be accepted as disciples by the sect master or elders unless they were exceptionally talented.

Today, the Dark Ice Sect was exceptionally lively. Not only the sect master who had been in seclusion for fifty years personally appeared, even the Great Grand Elder, Senior Elder, Junior Elder, and Third Elder all appeared as well.

Dark Ice Sect’s sect master was a middle-aged woman but she looked very beautiful, which made it hard to tell her age. Her face was smooth and delicate, and her skin was white and jade-like. She was slim with long hair and was wearing a white dress.

She quietly hovered in the air, looking at the beautiful woman in front of her, a hint of delight appearing in her eyes.

This beautiful woman was none other than Xue Lin. After she arrived at the Crimson Fire Continent and was separated from Qingfeng Li, she arrived at the ascending platform where she was found by the Dark Ice Sect’s people and brought directly back to the Dark Ice Sect.

When Xue Lin was at Dark Ice Sect, she was detected of owning the ice phoenix bloodline. This news directly aroused the Dark Ice Sect’s sect master and Great Grand Elder, as well as other powerful self-cultivators.

All of these people gathered around Xue Lin, their eyes full of feverish excitement.

The Dark Ice Sect’s sect master looked at Xue Lin and said softly, “What is your name? Are you willing to join my sect?”

Xue Lin’s showed a touch of nervousness on her delicate face. It was her first time seeing so many powerful self-cultivators.

Especially the middle-aged woman in front, she had achieved a half-step into the spirit royal realm.

Xue Lin blinked her slender eyelashes and said, “My name is Xue Lin. I want to find my husband Qingfeng Li.”

After hearing Xue Lin’s words, the middle-aged woman frowned, and a different color appeared in her eyes.

The Dark Ice Sect does not allow its disciples to marry a mortal man. The woman in front seemed to admire someone, this was not a good sign.

However, the middle-aged woman also saw through Xue Lin. She had deep feelings with the person called Qingfeng Li. Otherwise, she would not be asked to find Qingfeng Li immediately.

The middle-aged woman wanted to refuse Xue Lin’s request. Nevertheless, she rolled her eyes and eventually suppressed the refusal because she knew if she rejected Xue Lin, she would definitely not join the Dark Ice Sect.

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, “Xue Lin, as long as you promised to be my disciple, if you refine to spirit supreme realm, you can cross Crimson Fire Continent to find your husband Qingfeng Li.”

When Xue Lin heard middle-aged woman’s words, she appeared excited and said, “Well, as long as you promise me to help me find Qingfeng Li, I will be your disciple.”

Hearing the middle-aged woman and Xue Lin’s dialogue, the Great Grand Elder next to them had to interrupt. She opened her mouth and said, “Xue Lin, you have the legendary ice phoenix bloodline. Be my disciple, my strength is even stronger than sect master.”

The Great Grand Elder just spoke, when the Senior Elder and Junior Elder next to her also spoke and wanted to invite Xue Lin to become their disciple.

Although the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect was the most powerful, the Great Grand Elder and several other Elder’s strength were also very strong. They were not afraid of the sect master.

Besides, after seeing Xue Lin, a once-in-a-century master of genius who even carried a legendary godly beast bloodline, they thought she might become one of the three thousand rulers in the universe in the future. They naturally hoped that Xue Lin will become their own disciple. In the future, if Xue Lin was able to become a peerless master, they could also benefit a lot from her success.

The middle-aged woman saw the great grand elder and several elders also fighting for Xue Lin and her eyes revealed a touch of dissatisfaction as she snarled.

“What is going on? I was the first person to notice Xue Lin and wanted to accept her as an apprentice. Why are you guys fighting with me?” The middle-aged woman looked at that few people with dissatisfaction and said.

In the face of the middle-aged woman’s dissatisfaction, the Great Grand Elder frowned and didn’t appear to back off at all. She said, “Whoever is stronger can teach Xue Lin her bloodline power and optimize her strength. My strength is higher than yours, so I have to accept her as my disciple.”

Next to them were the Senior Elder, Junior Elder and Third Elder. They all did not agree and said, “We should let Xue Lin make her own decision, instead of forcing her to be your disciple.”

Xue Lin was followed by several other people, namely the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince and the Third Princess.

These people all were envious of Xue Lin. They also wanted to be recruited as the sect master’s disciple, but the Dark Ice Sect’s sect master obviously didn’t regard them, as all of her attention were focused on Xue Lin.

The middle-aged woman looked at the Great Grand Elder and said, “Although you are older than me, you may not be able to beat me. I challenge you today, and whoever wins can accept Xue Lin as their disciple.”

The Great Grand Elder did not have the slightest fear and spoke, “Let’s do this, I’m afraid you will fail.”

The Great Grand Elder stepped forward, exuding an icy cold aura in front of her. The air, space, and trees were all frozen, forming a frozen world as if a glacier had risen.

The middle-aged woman did not have the slightest fear. She took out her right hand, pointed her index finger forward gently and releasing a strong wind blade that slashed forcefully and split all the frozen ice into pieces of debris.

“I did not expect you to have actually mastered the Dark Wind Emperor Technique.” The Great Grand Elder frowned, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her eyes with a touch of surprise.

The Dark Wind Emperor Technique was very difficult to practice, as it was an Imperial Grade Attack, but the techniques were incomplete and very difficult to master.

The Great Grand Elder tried practicing it before but was not successful. She did not expect the sect master to have actually accomplished it so easily.

But the Great Grand Elder was not afraid as well, she had other powerful spiritual treasures. In order to make Xue Lin her disciple, she was also going all out.

The Great Grand Elder directly took out an icicle from her interspatial ring.

This was a white icicle, crystal clear and shivering with cold light. As soon as the Great Grand Elder took it out, it emitted a white thunder bolt and shone directly into the sky, which exploded a big hole in the air.

Chapter 1612: The Kindhearted Xue Lin

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Seeing the Great Grand Elder take out the white icicle, the middle-aged woman’s face changed slightly. She naturally knew what this white icicle was; a white lightning bolt would strike when it hits.

There were many kinds of lightning in the universe. Most of them were black, purple, or red, and special lightning like white lightning bolts were very rare.

Only a powerful sect like the Dark Ice Sect could cultivate to a level of being able to use white lightning. It was made out of white dark ice, absolutely peerless.

Kacha!

A white lightning shot from the Great Grand Elder’s icicle. It contained the power of terror and directly bursted the void, rushing fiercely at the middle-aged woman.

In order for Xue Lin to become her disciple, the Great Grand Elder put in her best efforts, causing even the white icicle to be summoned.

The white icicle was a powerful spiritual treasure. E1ven within the Dark Ice Sect, it was an ancestral level treasure. It was used facing other sectarian attacks, or when facing a powerful demon that could harm the sects. It was unexpected for the Great Grand Elder to use it today.

The surrounding elders and disciples were in awe, their eyes full of shock.

The middle-aged woman’s tender face was slightly gloomy, she knew she must use a strong attack. Otherwise, she could not possibly withstand the white icicle lightning.

Whoosh!

The middle-aged woman moved her mind, directly taking out a white ice piano from her interspatial ring, as she waved her slender hand, reading a dark ice chant.

The dark ice chant entered the white dark ice piano, exuding a powerful pressure, an illusionary shadow projected above, it was the Dark Ice Sect Matriarch’s projection.

In the middle-aged woman’s right hand, a sonic attack was formed instantly, mixed with the sonic attack of the Dark Ice Sect Matriarch. It turned into a huge ice blade, striking towards the front vigorously, causing the white lightning to split instantly.

Deng deng!

The Great Grand Elder’s body took a few steps back. Her face was pale and she spat a mouthful of blood as she looked at the middle-aged woman with horror.

“How did you get the Matriarch’s spiritual treasure, the Dark Ice Piano?” the Great Grand Elder looked shocked at the middle-aged woman and said.

It needed to be known that this Dark Ice Piano was Dark Ice Sect’s first generation of spiritual treasure used by the first-generation sect master to establish the sect.

At that time, the sect master was a half-step spirit monarch realm master, and she established the Dark Ice Sect. She was very powerful, second only to Mars’s Crimson Fire Emperor, known as the second master.

Unfortunately, she later disappeared and was never seen before.

Legend had it that the Dark Ice Piano disappeared along with the first-generation Matriarch, so who would have thought it appeared in the hands of the middle-aged woman today.

How could the Great Grand Elder not be shocked? Not only the Great Grand Elder was shocked, all the surrounding three Elders, as well as all of the Dark Ice Sect’s disciples looked at the middle-aged woman with amazement. Their mouths were wide opened, as if a duck egg could be stuffed in.

They never imagined that the powerful spiritual treasure the matriarch once used would appear in this world again.

The middle-aged woman was holding the Dark Ice Piano, smiling faintly. She did not respond to Great Grand Elder.

“Great Grand Elder, you just said earlier whoever won could take Xue Lin as the disciple. Now that your white icicle has been defeated by my Dark Ice Piano, you have nothing to say, right?” the middle-aged woman looked at Great Grand Elder and said casually.

The Great Grand Elder glanced at the middle-aged woman with a complicated face, knowing that when the sect master took out the Dark Ice Piano, she had lost already.

Even if the Great Grand Elder’s strength was slightly higher than the middle-aged woman’s, she could not beat the Dark Ice Piano. After all, it was a spiritual treasure once used by the matriarch, which was equivalent to a half-step spirit monarch level spiritual treasure.

“Xue Lin is your disciple, and I will not fight with you.” Great Grand Elder glanced at the middle-aged woman with a complicated look, turned into a white lightning bolt and disappeared.

The Surrounding Elders saw the Great Grand Elder left, so they wryly smiled, turned into a white light shadow and disappeared in place.

They understood that when the middle-aged woman took out the Dark Ice Piano, it had already been decided that she was the most powerful.

The middle-aged woman smiled and did not look at the disappearing elders. She just walked quickly to Xue Lin’s side and whispered, “Xue Lin, are you willing to be my apprentice?”

Xue Lin pondered for a moment, her slender eyelashes winking slightly as she whispered, “I could become your apprentice, but you have to promise me to take me to Qingfeng Li later.”

“Yes, I’ll take you to Qingfeng Li the moment you reach spirit supreme realm.” The middle-aged woman looked at Xue Lin with a gentle face.

Xue Lin nodded and began to say, “Sect Master, there are two old men next to me, along with the Eastern Sea Prince and the Third Princess. I hope they can enter to the sect to cultivate.”

After hearing the words of Xue Lin, the middle-aged woman turned to look behind Xue Lin.

She found Qixuan Zhenren and the Fate Elder, both of whom had no vital essence in their bodies. Their spirit nucleus and vital essence were also swallowed up by Crimson Fire Emperor’s white light, so they had become ordinary people.

As for the Eastern Sea Prince and The Third Princess, there was no spirit nucleus, but the two young people had good talent and could be recruited as disciples.

The middle-aged woman looked at Xue Lin and said, “I can promise you to recruit the Eastern Sea Prince and the Third Princess to become my sect’s disciples, but not the two old men. They are more than two hundred years of age without a spirit nucleus, and now It’s too late for any refinements. They will die in a year’s time.”

When she heard the middle-aged woman, there was anxiety and worry in Xue Lin’s eyes. She knew both of these old men were Qingfeng Li’s men on Earth and had helped Qingfeng Li a lot.

Qingfeng Li came to top tier planet Mars with Qixuan Zhenren and the Fate Elder to help them find supreme level spirit herbs to extend their lifespan. If they died here, Xue Lin would be remorseful.

Xue Lin shook her head and said, “Sect Master, I cannot become your apprentice if you don’t accept the two old men into the sect.”

Behind her was the Fate Elder and Qixuan Zhenren. After hearing her words, they looked into each other’s eyes, with tears in their eyes, they were very touched.

Both of them thought Xue Lin would abandon themselves and did not expect her to do this for Qingfeng Li. She stuck to the promise and brought them to the sect.

The middle-aged woman nodded when she saw Xue Lin’s firm eyes and said, “Well, in order to make you become my disciple, I agree to your request to let them join the sect as well.”

Xue Lin’s tender face appeared in a touch of happiness, then she left the spot with the middle-aged woman and entered the Dark Ice Sect.

All of the other disciples looked jealous and envious of Xue Lin, they also wanted to be the sect master’s disciples, but the sect master simply did not care about them.

Chapter 1613: Removing of the Weeds

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Qingfeng Li did not know that Xue Lin had become a sect master’s personal disciple. He was holding the dark steel hoe as he headed toward the Spirit Herbs Garden.

The Spirit Herbs Garden was a thousand square meters, there were all kind of spirit herbs inside. There were tier one spirit herbs in front of them, followed by tier two, tier three, and tier four spirit herbs.

Qingfeng Li was now responsible for the tier one spirit herb farm, which were a huge spirit herbs flowers, like growing cotton.

One the left-hand side, there was fiery leaves, which grew about a feet tall. Its coat was blood red, and there was a tender shade of red and a bloodthirsty shade of red that vaguely flowed between the leaves like a halo.

There were not too many fiery leaves, each plant only seven leaves. These seven leaves would eventually fall off until there were three leaves left. This was one of the herbs used to refine a vital essence alchemy pill.

The blue crystal fruits were beside the fiery leaves, and they grew as tall as the fiery leaves, except that the color was blue, and the fruit was a blue fruit.

There was some vague blue light that kept flashing on top of the blue crystal fruit. It was also one of the ingredients used to refine tier one vital essence alchemy pills.

Beside the fiery leaves and blue crystal fruit, there was a deep purple flower, deep purple flowers were a kind of flower that bloomed five petals. Its color was purple and there was purple light flashing above it. After it matured, only one petal will remain. It was also one of the ingredients used to refine the vital essence alchemy pill.

And below the three tier one spirit herbs, there was a ravine. There was a lot of weeds in the ravines, these weeds were called spirit herbs exhausters.

Spirit herb exhausters absorbed the spirit energy of the other spirit herbs, which could cause the spirit herbs to wither due to the lack of nutrients. This would even cause an illness, which might kill it.

What Qingfeng Li had to do now was get rid of these spirit herb exhausters. These spirit herb exhausters were not large, only about 10 cm high. It was a light gray color and there were sharp barbs next to the leaves, making the leaves extremely hard.

Qingfeng Li took the hoe in his hand and used a lot of force to swing downward, but he realized that it did not remove the spirit herb exhauster.

“What’s going on, I already used a lot of strength. Why can’t I get rid of these weeds?” Qingfeng Li frowned as a touch of doubt appeared in his eyes.

“Was it because I did not use vital essence?” Qingfeng Li thought for a moment, then he channeled the vital essence to the hoe, and used a lot of strength to remove the spirit herb exhauster in front of him.

But the next moment, Qingfeng Li’s face changed because the hoe did not remove the spirit herb exhauster.

Black Puppy who followed beside Qingfeng Li had a touch of doubt in its eyes.

Black Puppy circled around the spirit herb exhauster once, then pulled out its dog’s paw and slashed at the spirit herb exhauster, trying to pull it out.

At the next moment, Black Puppy was stunned because it could not remove the spirit herb exhauster either.

The Spirit herb exhauster was like a tough vine, tied tightly in the soil. Despite how hard it tried, it could not pull out the spirit herb exhauster.

Black Puppy whispered, “Qingfeng Li, this spirit herb exhauster is really weird. I already used my demon essence. Even if there were ten million pounds of boulders, it would’ve been pulled out. So how come it couldn’t even pulled out this small weed.”

“Haha, you two are really stupid. You two can’t even remove a simple weed. No wonder you two are just apprentices here. You two are truly useless.” Suddenly a burst of laughter came from behind, laughing unscrupulously.

When Qingfeng Li heard this sarcastic voice, there was a touch of anger on his face. When he turned around, he realized the person who was laughing at him was a fatty.

This fatty was not old at all, at most he was only 20 years old. But he was really fat, with a weight of at least 200 pounds and his height only just over 160 cm. He could be described as an obese youth.

The fatty wore very wide clothes, which were so luxurious that they shone with a bright light. It looked like it was very valuable.

This fatty’s face was very gluttonous. One could tell that he normally ate well with just one glance. Right now, the fatty was carrying two spirit herbs in his hands while he looked towards then.

“Who are you? We are just here cutting weeds. What’s that got to do with you?” Qingfeng Li asked rhetorically, with a trace of ill tone.

Toward those who ridiculed him, Qingfeng Li would not feel good about them and would countered them directly.

The fatty faintly smiled and said, “You really are stupid, can’t you recognize me? Don’t you even know who I am?”

Qingfeng Li smiled coldly and said, “Why should I know who you are?”

Fatty looked at Qingfeng Li with despise, and then said, “I will tell you the truth, I am the grandson of the Third Elder, and also the apprentice of Spirit Herbs Garden. I used to take care of all the chores, but ever since you came, you took away a part of my work. But I guess it was a good thing, I’ll let you take care of the weeds.”

Qingfeng Li suddenly realized it, he finally knew who this fatty in front of him was.

It turned out to be the Third Elder’s grandson that Ming Mu had told him about previously. But Qingfeng Li did not expect the Third Elder’s grandson to actually get so fat from eating, he was like a short chubby log. By looking at his face, one could tell he simply did not take Qingfeng Li seriously.

Qingfeng Li turned around and ignored the fatty as he continued to use the hoe in his hand and swing toward the spirit herb exhauster. But no matter how hard Qingfeng Li swung, he could not remove the weed.

Black Puppy who was on the side also helped Qingfeng Li. It spent a great amount of energy, but still could not remove the weed.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other’s eyes. Originally, they thought they had received a pleasant job from the Mu Family to work here, but now it would be really shameful to say that they could not even remove a single weed.

At this moment, this fatty kept laughing at Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy, clapping his two huge fat hands together. His eyes were full of ridicule, and he had no intention to help them out.

“What’s going on Qingfeng Li? Didn’t we tell you to remove the weeds? Why didn’t you remove a single weed after all this time?” Ming Mu suddenly came over and shouted loudly.

Ming Mu’s voice was very cold, treating Qingfeng Li like a servant, as he kept scolding him right to his face.

Qingfeng Li was very dissatisfied. What the hell was that fatty? How dare the fatty tell on him. Qingfeng Li really wanted to beat him with the hoe, but when he thought about his strength and the fatty’s, he realized that he could only endure it for now.

However, Qingfeng Li was also in very bad mood because he did not remove even one weed. And, getting scolded by the Ming Mu could only be considered his misfortune.

“Manager Ming Mu, I don’t know why this hoe cannot remove these weeds. Why don’t you give it a try?” Qingfeng Li asked Ming Mu.

Ming Mu frowned and said, “I am the manager here. Why would I do something like removing weeds. This work is your responsibility, if you can’t do it then let the fatty try it once.”

When the fatty heard what Ming Mu said, he wobbled as he ran over. He volunteered to help remove the weed, so he could show Qingfeng Li what he was made of.

Chapter 1614: The Powerful Weed

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Fatty quickly ran to Qingfeng Li’s side and said, “Give me the hoe. Let me remove the weed to show you how powerful I am.”

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly. He did not talk trash and directly gave the hoe to Fatty.

He had just tried using the vital essence in his body and could not remove the weed, so he did not believe that the fatty could do it.

The fatty got very excited after he got the black iron hoe. He glared at Qingfeng Li in disdain and said, “Lad, you can’t even remove a weed and you want to become an apprentice here at the Spirit Herbs Garden? That’s so dumb. Let this Fat Brother show you how powerful he is.”

After the fatty finished talking, he channeled the vital essence in his body into the hoe, giving the hoe a blue glow and then hoed the weed in front.

Vroom!

The black hoe and spirit herbs exhauster collided, and a loud noise was made.

But the next moment, the fatty was shocked. The weed in the front was still standing above the soil, without a hint of change but the hoe was chipped.

“What exactly is this spirit herbs exhauster? Why is it so hard… even harder than the hoe?” Fatty was puzzled and could not believe it. So, he swung the dark steel hoe in his hand again, hoeing hard against the weed in front.

But no matter how hard the fatty tried, this spirit herbs exhauster could not be taken out of the ground.

In the end, Fatty was exhausted, gasping. His head was full of sweat sliding down his forehead, wetting his clothes, and his whole body was getting sticky.

However, the spirit herbs exhauster in front of him was still standing firmly on top of the soil proudly, not yielding at all.

Black Puppy laughed, its eyes full of disdain. Qingfeng Li even ridiculed and said, “Fatty, didn’t you say you can get rid of this grass? Aren’t you very powerful? How come you can’t get rid of it now? You are really making me laugh.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li, Fatty was very angry. He madly wanted to pass the hoe to Qingfeng Li but when he thought about he could not get rid of this weed, he was very embarrassed.

Ming Mu gave a cold glace at Fatty and said, “You really let me down, you can’t even get rid of a weed. I will show you how to use the hoe.”

After that, Ming Mu took the dark steel black hoe directly from the fatty’s hand and hurled it against the spirit herbs exhauster in front.

Boom!

The black dark steel hoe collided with the spirit herbs exhauster and made a loud noise, but the dark steel hoe broke right off the handle. Yet, the spirit herbs exhauster remained firm on the soil without the slightest changes.

Ming Mu was dazzled and remained still like a statue.

It was known Ming Mu’s strength was very strong, reaching the advanced level of the earthly spirit realm and being close to breaking through to the heavenly spirit realm. With such a great strength, he still could not hoe out the spirit herbs exhauster in front. No matter how this looked, it felt a bit strange.

Not only was Ming Mu shocked, Black Puppy and Fatty were also surprised.

Their strength was relatively low, and they were still in the true spirit realm. It was fine if they could not take out a weed, but Ming Mu wasn’t the same as them. He was much stronger than them, why could he not get rid of this weed as well?

Ming Mu’s face became red because he was completely embarrassed. He just reprimanded Qingfeng Li and the fatty for being useless because they could not get rid of a simple weed. However, when it was his turn, he also could not get rid of the weed. It was like he slapped himself in the face.

Ming Mu did not believe this. And again, he took a hoe out from the small room next door.

This hoe was bronze in color, one grade above the dark steel. It was made of bronze and was shining from a talisman scripture, reaching the earth level.

Ming Mu waved the bronze hoe against the spirit herbs exhauster in front, but what happened next shocked Ming Mu. Even the spiritual treasure bronze hoe could not get the spirit herbs exhauster out.

The spirit herbs exhauster was still proudly standing in the soil, as if it was mocking him.

“I do not believe this. I won’t give up until I get rid of this spirit herbs exhauster,” Ming Mu shouted. He channeled the vital essence in his body and exerted a powerful aura. Even those spirit herbs next to him kept swinging under his aura.

Ming Mu forced the vital essence from his body and into the bronze hoe, which made the hoe emit a burst of blue light.

That was the talisman scripture twinkling, Ming Mu then waved the blue hoe in his hand and pressed hard against the spirit herbs exhauster in front.

Kacha!

Only a loud noise was heard, as if something was breaking.

Ming Mu’s eyes revealed a touch of joy. He thought his spiritual treasure bronze hoe had removed the spirit herbs exhauster.

But the next moment, his face looked amazed and even more dazzled than last time. Because it was not spirit herbs exhauster that was severed, but the spiritual treasure bronze hoe in his hands that was broken.

Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and the fatty, the three of them all looked at Ming Mu curiously.

They held in their laughter, clutching their own mouth but really wanting to laugh it out. When they thought about how Ming Mu was their manager, they could only laugh in their hearts. It was rather difficult.

Qingfeng Li secretly sent a voice transmission to Black Puppy, “Ming Mu was so arrogant. I thought how powerful he could possibly be but it turned out he was just a stupid.”

Black Puppy also said to Qingfeng Li in a voice transmission, “I also thought he is the manager here and must be powerful, but he turned out to be stupid. Even I did not expect that.”

Ming Mu seemed to notice Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and the fatty holding their laughter. He felt his dignity as a manager had been provoked, so he was very angry.

“Qingfeng Li, Puppy, Fatty. What do you three mean by this?” Ming Mu looked at the three people and scolded coldly.

Hearing Ming Mu’s words, Qingfeng Li, Puppy and the fatty’s faces changed. They were afraid to laugh again, pretending to look respectfully.

Qingfeng Li said, ” Manager Ming Mu, I worship you very much. The spirit herbs exhauster must be very happy to see you as well, so it did not want to break.”

“Qingfeng Li, I also think that’s true. That spirit herbs exhauster must have seen my handsome face, so it did not want to break. I just did not even try at all. If I had tried my best, I could get rid of it at once,” Ming Mu said with a look of narcissism.

Hearing Ming Mu’s words, Qingfeng Li almost spat out. In the past, he thought he was narcissistic and thick skinned, he did not expect that he would encounter someone who was more narcissistic and thicker skinned than him. Ming Mu was not capable of digging out the spirit herbs exhauster so he just said that he wasn’t trying.

Chapter 1615: Spirit Herb Encyclopedia

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, remaining speechless as he looked contemptuously at Ming Mu.

Ming Mu’s narcissism and thick face angered Qingfeng Li.

Because everyone could see that Ming Mu was just not capable enough to hoe the weed, but he said he had not tried his best. It could not be more obvious that it was just an excuse.

Ming Mu’s eyes looked cold, with a flash of dissatisfaction revealing itself within. He saw the ridicule in Qingfeng Li’s eyes; it was full of disdain towards him.

“Qingfeng Li, I’m the manager here. You’re just an apprentice at the Spirit Herbs Garden. I’m telling you that you must hoe this weed out by tomorrow, otherwise I’ll kick you out of Spirit Herbs Garden,” Ming Mu said coldly to Qingfeng Li.

Ming Mu’s tone was very arrogant and indifferent, with no means to soothe the situation. It was very demanding.

Qingfeng Li did not speak. Next to him was Black Puppy. He stuck his tongue out and said, “You are not capable enough to remove this weed, so how do you expect Qingfeng Li to get rid of it? This is not fair.”

“Puppy, this is no place for you to talk. If the weed is still here when I come back tomorrow, Qingfeng Li and you need to get out of the Spirit Herbs Garden.” Then, Ming Mu turned away with no trace of hesitation. His speed was very fast, and he disappeared from the Spirit Herbs Garden in an instant.

Next to Qingfeng Li was the fatty, he glanced sympathetically at him and said, “Lad, I’ll see how you can get rid of this weed tomorrow morning. The Spirit Herbs Garden will be my territory from then on.”

Fatty was very happy, glancing at Qingfeng Li in ridicule before turning away.

The way the fatty walked, swaying left and right, was reminiscent of a big crab.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy took a look at each other. Both of their eyes were sullen because they had both tried to get rid of the weed but were not successful.

It was unknown how this weed grew so powerful and so tough? And standing proudly, all mighty and unyielding.

Black Puppy looked at Qingfeng Li and whispered, “What do we do? If we cannot get rid of the weed tomorrow morning, we have to leave the Spirit Herbs Garden.”

Qingfeng Li thought for a moment and said casually, “Everything has a solution. I believe there will be a solution.”

Qingfeng Li went back to the small room next to him. There was a wide range of tools, hoes, iron shovels, and iron bars in the room.

Qingfeng Li took the iron shovel and shoveled it in front of the weed, but the head of the shovel broke. The roots of the weed were hard like a rock.

Qingfeng Li spent a tremendous amount of energy to think of all sorts of methods. He even tried burning it out, but it was unsuccessful. Time flew by and it quickly became night time.

The moon hanged high in the sky, and the moonlight was bright and clear.

Stars were shimmering in the sky, emitting countless twinkles. Starlight was shining from the sky down upon the Spirit Herbs Garden, softly illuminating the herbs and ground.

Both Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy were tired and breathless. Both of them sat on top of the soil beside them and watched the stars in the sky, sighing.

Black Puppy said, “Holy f*ck! I am Earth’s ancestor of all dog. In the ancient era, I was also a saint-level existence that could even blast open a planet. And now I can’t even remove a stupid stalk of grass, this is really shameful.”

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes a bit, dissatisfied with Black Puppy’s whining.

However, Qingfeng Li also knew that Black Puppy was very angry. After all, it was once a saint level expert. After arriving Crimson Fire Continent, it could not even get rid of a piece of grass.

Qingfeng Li also felt a bit shameful. He was the alliance chief of Earth’s Eastern self-cultivation world, known as number one on Earth’s World of self-cultivation. But now, he could not even get rid of a piece of grass. If the self-cultivators on Earth found out about this, they would surely laugh at him.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s eyes moved, a green color appearing within. He found that the weed in front of him was absorbing the starlight from the sky, surprising him.

One must note, the average weed was just a normal weed. It could not absorb starlight energies. Only those spirit herbs, spiritual fruits and spiritual trees could absorb the energy from heavens and earth.

Looking carefully, Qingfeng Li found that there were over one hundred weeds in this Spirit Herbs Garden. All of the other weeds could not absorb the starlight energy in the sky, and only the weed before him could absorb the starlight energy.

Black Puppy also noticed Qingfeng Li looking strange. He looked carefully at this weed and noticed this weed was actually glittering.

The starlight energy in the sky was completely absorbed, converging into its leaves and making it tougher and its root radiate a silvery luster.

Black Puppy said, “Qingfeng Li, this weed is not simple. It has spirit power, which means its cultivating.”

Qingfeng Li nodded as he thought Black Puppy was right. The weed in front of him was not the same as any other weeds. It absorbed the starlight energy from the sky and was cultivating itself.

Qingfeng Li already knew that some plants, animals, demonic beasts, trees, weeds, and vines could cultivate, but he did not expect that he would encounter one today. No wonder that even when he channeled his vital essence with the steel hoe, he still could not get rid of this weed. It was actually a spirit herb that could be refined, and Qingfeng Li was extremely delighted at this finding.

Black Puppy said, “Qingfeng Li, I once listened to a Spirit Alchemy Master in the ancient era. To get rid of the cultivated weed, only spirit attacks would work. It would be impervious to any physical attacks.”

Qingfeng Li’s eyes revealed a touch of light and said, “Puppy, I will try it your method.” He then channeled the spirit energy in his mind slowly into the inside of the weed.

In the beginning, the weed’s surface actually formed a silver halo, blocking Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy.

But Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy was still very strong, containing an invincible aura. It directly went through the silver halo on the surface of the weed and into the weed.

As spirit energy entered the inside of the weed, Qingfeng Li was surprised to find that it turned out to be a separate dimension. The space was very small, which was only thirty square meters and full of green plants and weeds.

In the middle of the weeds, there was actually a group of silver lights. That group of silver lights was the starlight energy. It even had a trace of its own consciousness and began to attack Qingfeng Li when it saw his presence.

Qingfeng Li’s Soul Power rattled forcefully, shaking the group of silver lights and causing them to dissipate.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s Soul Power throbbed because he actually spotted a book in this weed. This was a book with three characters written on it – “Spirit Herb Encyclopedia.”
