TFHS: Chapter 136

Regardless of whether the Shengyuan Sect and the Xuanyang Sect of the Shengxing Continent were involved or not, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo couldn’t interfere at this time.

Their strength wasn’t enough for them to touch such issues, so they put the matter aside.

However, this inheritance came just in time. It was along the same lines as the alchemy inheritance Feng Ming had already learned, so he didn’t need to look for other inheritances. Once the inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect was used to its limit, he could continue to use this one.

There was also a very important benefit. He could lend this inheritance to his master for reference. It didn’t matter if his master learned it or not.

The Qiansui alchemy inheritance that his master received at the beginning was no longer helpful at his level.

Yu Xiao had already started to explore and advance on his own. He had collected a lot of jade slips and books on alchemy, and the academy’s collection was completely opened to him. Under such circumstances, Yu Xiao could touch the edge of a sixth-grade alchemist.

However, this wasn’t enough. Once there was the alchemist inheritance from the Xuanyang Sect, Feng Ming believed that it would be easier for his master to cross the threshold.

Feng Ming flipped through and saw a more detailed introduction to the refining of the soul condensing pill. He wished he could send it to his master immediately. Perhaps his master could use this to refine the soul condensing pill in a shorter time.

Bai Qiaomo was also happy for Feng Ming. Even before leaving Feihong Continent, Feng Ming’s alchemy inheritance was already relatively complete.

He knew that even outside Feihong Continent, it wasn’t easy to obtain such a complete alchemy inheritance. He hadn’t encountered it at all in his previous life. It could be said that this was Junior Brother Ming’s own opportunity.

Junior Brother Ming had profound opportunities.

Of course, Feng Ming definitely wouldn’t admit it if he knew this. He felt that he had taken advantage of Bai Qiaomo, the reborn male protagonist.

“By the way, how should we deal with the Xirang?”

Bai Qiaomo said, “I have thought about it. I won’t merge it with the Green Gathering Bead for the time being. I will put it in the courtyard of this mansion. During this period, I will use the soil to harvest a batch of spiritual plants. We will plant whatever Junior Brother Ming needs.”

“Okay, no problem.”

The two of them got busy and put the piece of black mud into the soil of the courtyard. The black mud blended in naturally, and it was also easy to collect. They could take it back as soon as they thought about it.

The two of them buried hundreds of thousands of yuan crystals in the courtyard for around one acre of land and sprinkled spiritual plant seeds.

Then a strange scene happened. The vital energy inside the buried yuan crystals was quickly extracted, and the yuan crystals dimmed.

At the same time, the spiritual plant seeds also took root and sprouted quickly. In the blink of an eye, the leaves fluttered and spread out.

The two of them observed for a while and found that the value of Xirang in cultivating spiritual plants was very great, but there was also one point. The Xirang itself was a large consumer of yuan crystals.

Fortunately, they ran to the Wu family’s yuan crystal vein and intercepted a batch of yuan crystals. Add their original wealth and they could still afford to squander it now.

First, they smashed tens of millions of yuan crystals, and Feng Ming harvested several batches of spiritual plants. Once there was no shortage of spiritual plants for the time being, the two of them returned to their rooms and started practicing hard.

There was no time when it came to cultivation. The days of retreat and practice passed quickly.

In a border city, Feng Jinlin strode back from the outside and asked Butler Zhao, who greeted him, “Is there no letter from Ming’er yet?”

Butler Zhao replied, “I have been paying attention. No more letters have been sent since the last one. I think he is still in seclusion. The time for seclusion isn’t short, and I think the young master’s cultivation will be greatly improved.”

Feng Jinlin laughed. “You have more confidence in him than me, his father. Yes, I am just being anxious.”

Butler Zhao also laughed. “It is because the young master has never been away from you for so long. It is natural for you to be thinking about him.”

Not long after Feng Jinlin came back, Feng Yue and the other key members of the mercenary group also came over.

Feng Jinlin convened a meeting with them to summarize the gains and losses of the mission, and to report on the team members’ recent training results.

This mission was more important and Feng Jinlin personally led the team to do it. He was gone for more than a month before returning. Feng Yue had stayed behind to take charge.

At the end of the meeting, Butler Zhao and the other servants in the house served drinks and food. Feng Jinlin invited everyone to eat and drink together.

A dozen people sat together and there was no rule of not talking. They chatted and naturally talked about the latest events.

Feng Jinlin led the team this time to the Ximing Dynasty, which was adjacent to the Dongmu Dynasty. The news received from the Ximing Dynasty was much fewer and lagged behind.

Everyone thought that he wouldn’t know about some things yet. After all, the border city was relatively far away from Imperial City, and there was a delay in getting news.

However, Feng Ming had sent a letter before going into retreat. In the letter, Feng Ming praised himself and Bai Qiaomo, described what they had done in exaggerated terms, and asked his father for credit.

It just so happened that the topic everyone here was talking about was the fall of the Wu family of the Dongmu Dynasty. However, except for Feng Yue, who was another insider, no one here knew that this matter was the joint efforts of their young master and his husband.

“I didn’t expect it. The Wu family is so big and had the background of a prince. Now it is gone. I heard that the prince in Imperial City isn’t having a good time. The noble concubine from the Wu family was very favored previously, but now he is left out in the cold.”

Feng Yue sneered. “It isn’t like you don’t know how closely the imperial court pays attention to yuan crystal veins. The Wu family relied on their status to pick lice on the tiger’s head. The result can be seen.”

“Yes, the imperial courts and imperial families control the world’s yuan crystal veins, allowing most of the yuan crystals to gather in their hands. There are no masters that the imperial court can’t cultivate. Even the aristocratic families can’t escape from the palm of their hands.”

“Yes, unless all the aristocratic families can unite. It is a pity that the hearts of those aristocratic families aren’t consistent.”

“How can the imperial family tolerate those aristocratic families? What the imperial family wants is for those families to work independently, so they can control the world.”

“This is boring. Let’s talk about Young Master Ming. When will Young Master Ming come? He is really powerful. I don’t know how high his alchemy level is now.”

They also knew that their young master was the disciple of Yu Xiao, a fifth-grade alchemy master. They were very proud.

They knew even more clearly that some of the pills taken by their team came from the hands of the young master, and they were best-grade pills.

Just because of the best-grade pills, the force of the main members of the mercenary group was very high.

How could they get the best-grade pills without the mercenary group?

So they were even happier than Feng Jinlin and Feng Yue when they heard the news that Feng Ming was coming. They eagerly looked forward to Feng Ming coming with a bunch of pills.

They were really happy compared to other mercenary groups. No mercenary group had so many pills to consume as them.

Even Alchemist He, who followed the captain, was now a third-grade alchemist. It wasn’t known how many forces were jealous and wanted to poach him, but Alchemist He refused and just decided to follow their captain.

Feng Jinlin spoke a few modest words about his child, but the raised corners of his mouth showed how happy he was.

In the next few days, Feng Jinlin arranged for people to stand guard at the city gate, asking them to keep an eye on Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to bring them back after they arrived.

The mercenaries under his command regarded this as a top priority. This movement aroused the curiosity of other forces in the border city. After asking around, they learned that the young master of the Wind Eagle mercenary group was coming.

They didn’t know the details of Feng Ming at all. They just thought he was squeamish ger young master who came as he pleased, and there was no need to pay too much attention to him.

Under the expectation of everyone in the Wind Eagle mercenary group, they finally saw the two people they were waiting for ten days later.

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo had rushed to the border city after leaving retreat and didn’t stop along the way. It was because they spent three months in seclusion and knew that Father Feng must be anxious.

Thanks to squandering yuan crystals to his heart’s content and the support of the mid-grade yuan crystals, Feng Ming’s seclusion results were very remarkable. He was now at the peak of the qi gathering realm.

Bai Qiaomo also pushed his cultivation to the late stage of the essence liquid realm.

For the past three months, including the cultivated spiritual plants, they had spent all the yuan crystals they earned from the Xuanyue Secret Realm.

The cost was staggering and probably no family would be willing to train their children like this. Feng Ming was actually quite distressed at the consumption.

But he felt that it was worth it when thinking about the results. Yuan crystals could be earned again, and improving his cultivation level was the number one priority. It was easiest to just smash yuan crystals to improve his cultivation level.

At this moment, the two of them felt very refreshed. They had killed many desolate beasts along the way, and their cultivation was very stable.

Feng Ming’s heart soared when he saw the walls of the border city. He would be able to see his father soon.

The closer they got to the border city, the more they heard the name of the Wind Eagle mercenary group. This mercenary group had quite a reputation in this area.

“I don’t know why my father chose to develop the mercenary group here.”

Bai Qiaomo made a guess. “Perhaps it is because he is less constrained by the influence of the aristocratic families, and the official tolerance is relatively high. The business of the Wind Eagle mercenary group spans the Dongmu Dynasty and the Ximing Dynasty. Few mercenary groups have such courage.”

Feng Ming became proud after hearing Bai Qiaomo’s words. “Of course. My father is very powerful. In the future, my father can develop the mercenary group into a large one that spans several dynasties.”

Bai Qiaomo smiled. Wasn’t the future actually like this?

The two of them got off the wildebeest and led the wildebeest towards the city gate.

The folk customs here were relatively strong. Before they even lined up to enter the city, someone rushed out from the city and shouted, “Young Master Ming, we are here to pick up you and your husband on the order of the captain.”

The voice was amazing. It was so loud that the cultivators gathered at the city gate were startled.

How could Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo not notice and discover Yang Xin’s figure? Feng Ming immediately pulled Bai Qiaomo over in a happy manner. “My father asked someone to pick us up, and he is the one who came to pick us up.”

Then he waved. “Yang Xin, your young master is here.”

Several people rushed to Feng Ming and surrounded him and Bai Qiaomo. Since they were here to find his father, Feng Ming, and Bai Qiaomo restored their original appearance when they approached the border city. Did they still need to cover up when seeing their father? In addition, the people of Gaoyang County didn’t know where Father Feng was developing now.

“Young Master, you are finally here.” Yang Xin shouted excitedly.

“Wow, Yang Xin. You have also reached the qi gathering realm. That’s great.” Feng Ming was also happy.
