Chapter 398: Protecting the Zhuang Family, Fragrance Body!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Xuan was tempted. Although it was a little troublesome, a medium-sized spirit vein was tempting enough!
A few months later, Mu Xuan quickly rushed to the East Stream Mountain Range to investigate the situation and prepare to fuse the spirit veins.
At this moment, Wei Qingqing realized that she had married a Core Formation cultivator. She was both happy and worried.
This was because being a loose cultivator meant that she didn’t have a backer. If she unfortunately died, everything she had would probably be in vain.
“Forget it, at most, I’ll die. It’s better than being reduced to a demon cultivator cauldron!” Wei Qingqing thought.
Mountain peaks stood tall in the East Stream Mountain Range, and demon beasts appeared. The scenery was ordinary. Moreover, because it was close to the west, the spirit energy was not too rich, and it gradually became desolate. Even independent cultivators were willing to go there, and in the end, it became the territory of a group of bandits!
The so-called bandit cultivators were bandit cultivators. They specialized in plundering and did not engage in production themselves. They were scum among cultivators.
According to the information, there were three Foundation Establishment cultivators in this group of bandits. They were even vaguely related to a large sect, so very few people dared to provoke them.
Then, Mu Xuan came.
In Mu Xuan’s opinion, weren’t Foundation Establishment cultivators giving him money? He liked bullying the weak the most!
Therefore, on a dark and windy night, Mu Xuan took advantage of the fact that the bandit cultivators were cultivating and decisively attacked. He immediately killed the guy who had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Without the leader of the peak Foundation Establishment cultivators, the remaining two Foundation Establishment cultivators were simply unable to withstand a single blow. Mu Xuan easily killed them.
As for the remaining Qi Refinement Stage cultivators, other than a few smart ones who escaped, the rest were all sent by Mu Xuan to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures.
Therefore, when Wei Qingqing woke up, the entire East Stream Mountain Range was already completely under Mu Xuan’s control.
In the next ten years, Mu Xuan established a cave abode, teleported spirit meridians, and cultivated spirit herbs. In his spare time, he dual cultivated with Wei Qingqing and was very happy!
The dual cultivation secret technique of the Acacia Faction obtained from the demon cultivator of the Acacia Faction gave Mu Xuan a lot of help.
It had to be said that Wei Qingqing’s Heavenly Charm Body was indeed worthy of being a good cauldron physique. Every time Mu Xuan dual cultivated with her, he could feel the increase in his cultivation level. If there were eight or ten of them, he would definitely ride a rocket to heaven!
At the same time, the news that the East Stream Mountain Range was occupied by a Core Formation cultivator surnamed Xu also spread throughout the cultivation world of the State of Xi. Because of his strange personality, Mu Xuan obtained a nickname: Old Monster Xu.
After a full 24 years, the spirit vein in the East Stream Mountain Range was finally combined by Mu Xuan again and became a medium-sized spirit vein. It was even better than ordinary medium-sized spirit veins.
At this point, Mu Xuan officially settled down in East Stream Mountain.
In the 39th year of East Stream Mountain, Mu Xuan, who was cultivating, suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He felt that an important person had disappeared…
Not long after, news came that his son, Fang Ping, who was in the Phoenix Cry Sect, had failed to form his Nascent Soul and died.
Upon hearing the grievous news, Mu Xuan sighed silently. Forming the Nascent Soul was definitely a heaven-defying move. Once it failed, the consequences would also be very serious. There were also many people who failed and died like Fang Ping.
Mu Xuan specially made a trip to the Luan Ming Sect to offer Fang Ping a cup of wine to express his gratitude.
“Master, what was that just now?” On the way back to East Stream Mountain, the concubine, Wei Qingqing, whispered.
For decades, Wei Qingqing had been by Mu Xuan’s side and had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. She was about to form her core, but she wasn’t confident and kept waiting.
Mu Xuan shook his head and said, “An… old friend.”
After returning to East Stream Mountain, Mu Xuan continued to cultivate.
Then, less than two years later, a migration team came to East Stream Mountain to seek protection from Mu Xuan. It was unknown where the other party got the news from, but he heard that Old Monster Xu liked women and gave Mu Xuan a female cultivator with a fragrant body.
The female cultivator’s name was Zhuang Xiaoming. She was in her twenties and had a perfected Qi Refinement cultivation. Her entire body emitted a strange fragrance, actually making Mu Xuan feel restless!
“Who did your Zhuang family provoke to move to my Dongxi Mountain?” Mu Xuan looked at the old man who called himself the head of the Zhuang family and said.
If the problem was not serious, he was prepared to accept this relatively rare fragrance body. After all, he was a little tired of the same one for decades. He had to change his taste.
The Zhuang Family’s Patriarch, Zhuang Ning, sighed. “Originally, our Zhuang
Family was a subsidiary family of the Phoenix Cry Sect and relied on Vice Sect Master Fang Ping. However, I never expected that Vice Sect Master Fang Ping would actually…”
“Without Vice Sect Master Fang Ping as our backer, our Zhuang family’s former enemies are prepared to join forces and destroy our Zhuang family…
“In desperation, our Zhuang family can only give up all our foundation and escape here to seek protection from you…”
Mu Xuan looked at Zhuang Ning Fan. He really didn’t expect that this group of people was actually originally under his son’s name.
He guessed that there was more to this. Perhaps the Zhuang family was more arrogant and offended a middle-level higher-up in the Phoenix Cry Sect. Now that Fang Ping was dead, they were also implicated.
In fact, Mu Xuan had really guessed correctly. The Zhuang family relied on Fang Ping’s reputation as a genius of the Luan Ming Sect. Although they did not provoke public anger, they had a lot of grudges. Now that Fang Ping was down, it was difficult for them not to be settled.
Mu Xuan thought for a moment and decided to protect the Zhuang family. After all, East Stream Mountain was a medium-sized spirit vein. He had only opened a small piece over the years. A large number of spirit veins had been wasted. It was naturally best if someone cultivated them.
Hence, Mu Xuan’s concubines became two people. They took turns and were very happy!
The Zhuang family finally heaved a sigh of relief. If Mu Xuan didn’t accept protection, they could only continue to migrate west…
Spring passed and autumn came. Another 30 years passed. Mu Xuan reached the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm. Looking at the entire Dongxi Mountain, it had actually changed drastically. The Zhuang family had actually tidied up the entire periphery of Dongxi Mountain and planted unknown plants, increasing the scenery of the entire Dongxi Mountain greatly.
After asking carefully, he realized that the head of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Ning, had already passed away. Now, the head of the Zhuang family had become Zhuang Yuming, an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in his forties.
Mu Xuan praised Zhuang Yuming and prepared to continue cultivating with his two concubines. However, Mu Xuan quickly sensed Wei Qingqing’s situation. After some thought, he decided to go to the East Star Market to buy a Falling
Dust Pill for Wei Qingqing to increase the success rate of her Core Formation.
The East Star Market was located in the east of the State of Xi. It was opened by Ni Hangzhai and could be considered a large market.
As for the market run by the strongest Phoenix Cry Sect in the Xi Country, Mu Xuan didn’t dare to go. Who knew if they would make things difficult for him?
Ni Hangzhai was also the founder of the Heavenly Law Alliance and could stand side by side with the Phoenix Cry Sect. Mu Xuan didn’t have any grudges with them, so he was naturally not worried that Ni Hangzhai would trick him.
As soon as a dignified Core Formation cultivator arrived at the East Star Market, he was recognized. A Core Formation cultivator from Ni Hangzhai welcomed him. “So it’s Fellow Daoist Xu who has arrived. The market is honored…”
“Hehe, I’m just thinking about it!” Mu Xuan smiled and shook his head. After exchanging pleasantries, he expressed his intentions. He was just here to buy medicinal pills.
Seeing Mu Xuan step into Ni Hangzhai, the Core Formation cultivator of Ni Hangzhai shook his head and smiled. “It’s rumored that this Old Monster Xu is extremely lustful. From the looks of it, it should be a rumor. From the look of it, the divine light in his eyes is restrained and his foundation is solid. His strength shouldn’t be too weak…”
Mu Xuan naturally didn’t know that his rare trip had been seen through. Of course, Mu Xuan didn’t care much. These could be displayed.
Soon, Mu Xuan found out about the situation of the Falling Dust Pill.. At the semi-annual auction every half a month, there would be an auction for the Falling Dust Pill!
