Chapter 136 Mu Feng's Awareness and Plans
Reading Settings
Mu Feng couldn't continue the conversation, so he quickly changed the subject.
"I'm only telling you this. Don't tell Shifang yet. Right now, you're the only person I trust the most."
Li Wantian was deeply moved by these words. He excitedly grasped Mu Feng's arm, holding it tightly despite feeling cold, and refused to let go.
"Okay, trust me, and I won't let you down!"
Mu Feng nodded, trembling.
"Okay, you go check out the cabin first, I want to soak in the spiritual spring."
Mu Feng was really struggling to hold on. His body was unusually cold, and the thumping sound inside his body was causing him to experience tinnitus.
That idiot Shifang took advantage of his unconscious state to suck his blood and detoxify him.
According to Li Wantian, the blood sucked out stained the stream red.
It was getting cold and windy, and Mu Feng really couldn't stay in that dilapidated temple any longer.
That's why they resorted to this desperate measure, leading Li Wantian into the Peach Blossom Paradise.
Mu Feng took off his outer garment, cast a Cleansing spell, and then quickly jumped into the spiritual spring.
The clear spiritual spring water quickly filled Mu Feng's flesh and blood the moment it came into contact with him.
The powerful function of the spiritual spring cured Mu Feng's symptoms in just a few breaths.
Mu Feng held his breath and sank into the water, forming a water-repelling incantation with his hands, and quickly swam towards the bottom of the spiritual spring.
He submerged the former slave cultivators and the deceased cultivators in the spiritual spring.
A moment later, Mu Feng took a closer look.
Sure enough, there was nothing at the bottom of the spirit pool; even the bones had turned to dust.
He discovered that the spiritual spring could destroy evidence of a corpse when he was a child.
At that time, he was jealous of a cute little boy. He couldn't understand why that boy was so loved by everyone.
So he stripped the boy of his adorable qualities and pushed him into the spirit pool.
This matter attracted the attention of the adults.
But neither the living nor the dead could be found.
Although they suspected Mu Feng, they were even more certain that it was a passing evil cultivator who had kidnapped the little boy.
After that, Mu Feng developed the habit of murdering and disposing of the bodies.
At the bottom of the spiritual spring, although there were no bones, a green vine, already three palms long, stretched out from the ground.
There was surprise in Mu Feng's eyes.
He hadn't entered the Peach Blossom Spring for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the sixth-grade azure lotus seed that he planted in the silt at the bottom of the pond has already sprouted!
Previously at the auction house, the sixth-grade azure lotus seed was covered in dust and was mistaken for a fifth-grade lotus seed.
He snagged a bargain and bought it at a high price.
Mu Feng smiled with satisfaction.
This was his first successful planting!
He killed all the spiritual plants he had previously acquired by chance.
It seems that this sixth-grade Azure Lotus Seed is indeed incredibly resilient.
A sixth-grade Azure Lotus Seed can be used to create magic treasures for those at the Void Refining stage.
Once the Azure Lotus has grown, I will refine the lotus seedpod into a lotus seat and give it to Shi Fang. Perhaps this will earn me Shi Fang's trust.
Mu Feng's mind raced.
After a moment's thought, he quickly surfaced, broke the surface, and landed on the shore, soaking wet.
After the Cleansing Technique was applied, he returned to his best condition.
Mu Feng smiled with satisfaction, then stepped forward with force, his spiritual energy surging as he shrank the distance between them.
In just a few steps, I covered the 100-meter distance and arrived at the wooden house.
He shouted towards the wooden house:
"Wantian, we should go! Shifang will be back soon!"
A loud bang.
Li Wantian, acting erratically, pushed open the door of the wooden house, holding a rectangular stove that was 12 inches long and 5 inches wide in both hands.
He laughed maniacally:
"Mu Feng, we've struck it rich! This refining furnace is a spiritual treasure! And it's an eighth-grade magic weapon!"
I have never seen such an exquisitely crafted furnace!
Mu Feng's eyes widened. This was an eighth-tier magic weapon? How come he didn't know that?
Mu Feng quickly walked to Li Wantian's side and looked at the rectangular refining furnace:
"How do you know? You've never even seen an eighth-order refining furnace."
Li Wantian frowned, his tone somewhat reproachful:
"You put this stove in the corner of the clutter pile, it's rusty and has seven or eight layers of stains."
If I hadn't cleaned things up just now, I would have missed this treasure.
Li Wantian raised the stove above his head, gesturing for Mu Feng to look up.
Sure enough, there was a small seal engraved on the bottom of the stove.
[Eighth-Tier Spiritual Treasure - Fire-Refined Crimson Bone Cauldron]
Mu Feng still remembered this furnace. He had exploded it three times while refining, and it reeked of a terrible stench. Too lazy to clean it up, he just threw it into the pile of junk.
"Shall we sell this furnace? We can get some spirit stones in return."
Li Wantian hugged the furnace tightly, his expression tense:
"No! We can't sell it! Let me use this furnace. Once I've gathered all the materials, I'll refine it into a magic weapon, and then you can sell it."
You can't focus on the short term; you need to broaden your horizons.
With this furnace, even if we reach the Immortal Illumination Continent and enter the Mahayana stage, we can still use it.
Selling magical artifacts is more profitable than selling furnaces!
Upon hearing this, Mu Feng frowned.
"Who's looking down on me? You're just a low-ranking weapon refiner."
Who knows how many years it will take before you can bring out the full potential of the furnace?
If we sell the furnace directly, it might be worth several hundred million spirit stones, enough for us to last until the Great Ascension stage!
Upon hearing this, Li Wantian was stunned; it seemed to make some sense.
However, this is a spirit treasure-level weapon-refining furnace!
Li Wantian's eyes were filled with reluctance; he felt like he was living a joke.
The only thing that could give him a little confidence was weapon crafting.
His weapon crafting skills have won awards in the Tianyan Continent!
Li Wantian gritted his teeth and looked at Mu Feng.
"Give me the furnace, and I'll forge ten treasures, five of which I'll keep for you!"
"It's just a few hundred million spirit stones, right? We'll pay it all back eventually!"
Mu Feng smiled upon hearing this:
"Since you've said so, then this furnace is yours. After all, you're my Daoist partner!"
The furnace is worth hundreds of millions of spirit stones, but they couldn't keep it. A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
If they were to take it to an auction house and sell it, they would lose their heads.
Having gone through more than twenty years of trials and tribulations, Mu Feng still understands these principles.
Now, by doing a favor and giving it to Li Wantian, we can at least get some of the weapons he forged.
Mu Feng suddenly thought of the alchemy furnace, talisman brush, and array brush, which were also in the garbage dump.
His eyes were deep; having more Daoist partners like Li Wantian might be a good choice.
With these Daoist partners, wouldn't he have more and more magical treasures, elixirs, and talismans in the future?
Mu Feng suddenly thought of Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi.
That couple who caused him so much suffering.
The talismans and pills on the two seemed inexhaustible.
He, Mu Feng, had also longed for that kind of life!
It seems he needs to intentionally look for a suitable partner.
Shi Fang is a formation master, but he's not very useful at the moment.
If you want to increase your cultivation level, you still need to find a pill cultivator.
When the time comes, after signing the contract, take a nap, and then bring that alchemist into the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm.
This place is rich in spiritual energy, spiritual springs, soil, and alchemy furnaces.
Either of these could drive alchemists mad.
Thinking of this, Mu Feng looked at Li Wantian with a smile.
"Wan Tian, thanks to you for reminding me, we should go out now. If we wait for Shi Fang to come back, we're afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves."
