Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu walked out of the house. The Zhang family of four, the Village Chief, and some three-star and two-star Spiritual Realm villagers all entered Liu Mufeng’s yard in groups.
“Uncle Village Chief!” Walking up, Liu Mufeng gave a profound salute.
“Ninth Young Master, Zhang Cui said that a thief came to your house and beat her up, so I brought the villagers here to see.” The village chief said with a serious face.
“It’s him. It’s this bastard!” Pointing at Jiang Xu’s nose, Zhang Cui said viciously.
“Uncle Village Chief, you misunderstood. There was no thief. This is my cousin who came to visit me on a special trip, not a thief.” Liu Mufeng immediately clarified the identity of Jiang Xu.
Hearing this, Jiang Xu puffed out his cheeks and thought, ‘He and Mufeng were both thirteen years old, but Mufeng actually said that he was his cousin, was he older than him?’
“Oh, so he’s the cousin of Ninth Young Master.” Nodding his head, the Village Chief looked at Jiang Xu up and down. He saw that the other party was wearing fancy clothes. Even the belt and accessories were unusually gorgeous. At a glance, he knew that he was a Young Master from a big family. He just didn’t understand why he couldn’t see the strength of the other party no matter how he looked. He was stumped. Was he just an ordinary guy? Or was this person already in the Spiritual Mortal Realm?
One must understand that when a person had a higher cultivation realm and chose to hide their strength, lower level cultivators would not be able to determine the other’s strength. Only someone who had higher cultivation than the other person could see through the cultivation strength no matter how he hid it.
“Even if you’re not a thief, you can’t beat someone for nothing, right?” Zhang Cui’s eldest brother Zhang An looked at Jiang Xu unhappily.
“What’s wrong with beating her? Her mouth is dirty!” Jiang Xu said bluntly, looking at Zhang An.
“This Young Master, you…” Looking at Jiang Xu, the Village Chief looked embarrassed.
He glanced at the most powerful Village Chief among the crowd. Jiang Xu gave a cold smirk. “Although you are very powerful, you are not my opponent. I can kill you with one strike. So, if you don’t want to die, it’s best not to force me.” After speaking, Jiang Xu took off the lower part of his belt, and a piece of jade pendant was revealed. The strength of the nine stars of the Spiritual Realm flowed out instantly.
That jade pendant was a concealment instrument that hid the bearer’s strength. Previously, Liu Mufeng told him that the most powerful person in the village was the Village Chief, a five-star in the Spiritual Realm. Jiang Xu’s strength was too high and too conspicuous, so he had better not go out. After listening to Liu Mufeng’s words, Jiang Xu wore the concealment jade to hide his strength. He did not want to cause trouble to Liu Mufeng. But, unexpectedly, even if he already hid his strength and practiced at home in such a low-key manner, trouble would still come knocking at the door. He was called a slut, a prostitute from the brothel and a thief by a group of ignorant villagers.
“You…you……”
When Jiang Xu took off the jade pendant, all the villagers with cultivation, including the Village Chief, were shocked. This person was actually a nine stars cultivator of the Spiritual Realm. The Nine Stars of the Spiritual Realm!

Zhang An’s eyes widened in shock when he saw that Jiang Xu was actually a nine-star in the Spiritual Realm. A fit of mad jealousy could be seen in his eyes, and he thought, ‘Damn, why was this guy’s life so good that he could be born in a big family? He was already a nine-star in the Spiritual Realm at such a young age. But he was born in such an ordinary family, already fifteen years old and only a four-star in the Spiritual Realm. Only four stars. He was not reconciled, not reconciled!’

Looking at the smiling and flattering Village Chief, Liu Mufeng sighed in his heart. ‘This place really respected Martial Arts. A big fist always had the last word. So this was not bad at all!’
“Tbe mjc jii ifjnf lo sbe tjnf cbatlcu wbgf ab rjs. C ijguf ugbeq bo qfbqif jgf rajcvlcu tfgf, ralcxlcu eq beg sjgv, joofmalcu ws wbbv. Qtfc P’w lc j yjv wbbv, P ilxf ab xlii qfbqif!” Aljcu We rjlv fzqgfrrlbcifrris, ibbxlcu ja atf mgbkv.
“Yes, yes, we’re going now, we’re going now!” Nodding, the Village Chief hurriedly affirmed.
“That, the one named Zhang Cui, you stay!” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu thought of Zhang Cui’s name.
“You, what do you want to do?” She looked at Jiang Xu with fear. She stepped back a few steps away, not daring to approach.
“My cousin said that you borrowed spirit stones from him three times, and none of them was returned to him. When are you going to pay them back?” Zhang Cui’s face turned pale with fright as Jiang Xu directly demanded the payment.
“I, I…” Zhang Cui stuttered, and her face turned even more ugly.
Turning his head, Jiang Xu looked at the Village Chief. “Village Chief, is Zhang Cui’s family very poor? Do they have a house and spiritual field?”
“Well, yes, Zhang Cui’s family belongs to the upper-middle-class family in the village, so they’re not too poor.” Looking at Jiang Xu, the Village Chief told the truth.
“Zhang Cui’s family consists of four people, there are six houses and twenty acres of land, and she is much better off than me.” Liu Mufeng showed a self-deprecating smile as he heard this. Of course, the original owner, a Young Master who had not been deeply involved in the world, would think that Zhang Cui was poor. But in fact, the conditions of Zhang Cui’s family were much better than those of the original owner.
“You are so rich, and you still borrow spirit stones?” Jiang Xu’s face was full of curiosity.
Looking at Jiang Xu with a curious face, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Maybe it’s time to pay back the money.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, the other villagers looked at Zhang Cui’s family with contempt. Their heart whispered, ‘When walking by the river, people always have wet shoes. This time they had kicked the iron plate, right? Let’s see if you will dare to cheat again in the future.’
“Zhang Cui, return the spirit stones you owe my cousin, or I will beat up your family of four, sell you to a brothel, and then sell your house and your spiritual field to pay off the debt.” Jiang Xu said as he looked at Zhang Cui.
“I, I…” Turning her head, Zhang Cui looked at her father.
“This Young Master, I don’t know how many spirit stones my daughter owes Ninth Young Master. I’ll help her pay it back.” Father Zhang asked tremblingly.
“How much?” Jiang Xu asked, turning his head to the side.
“She borrowed three times, a total of eighty-five spirit stones.” After thinking about it, Liu Mufeng said the number.
“Okay!” Nodding, Father Zhang didn’t dare to neglect. He immediately took out eighty-five spirit stones and returned them to Liu Mufeng.
“Zhang Cui, remember this. You are not allowed to come to my cousin’s house in the future, and you are not allowed to ask my cousin to borrow spirit stones shamelessly. If you dare to come again, I will beat you again and again when I see you as long as you’re living!”
“No, I dare not, I dare not!” Zhang Cui shook her head, and her face turned even paler. She brooded in her heart, ‘How could I be so unlucky to meet such a cruel and domineering dual.’
“Okay, you can all leave!” With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xu motioned for everyone to leave.
Glancing at Jiang Xu cautiously, the villagers ran away as if they had been granted amnesty.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu returned to the room together.
Jiang Xu sat on the chair and looked at Liu Mufeng opposite him with a strange expression.
“What, what’s wrong?” Liu Mufeng asked with a smile, looking at Jiang Xu’s adorable expression.
“Why did you tell them that I’m your cousin? Am I very old?” Jiang Xu was very depressed as he said this. Is he that old? He actually said he was a cousin.
Liu Mufeng was stunned for a while when he heard the aggrieved tone of Jiang Xu, then smiled. “I told them you were my cousin because I didn’t want the villagers to misunderstand our relationship and affect your reputation. I just said it casually. If I knew you were so concerned, I would not have said you are my cousin.” Liu Mufeng knew this continent was not so open. Most women and duals were very concerned about their reputations. Jiang Xu living in his single man’s home, would inevitably be gossiped about. But if they were cousins, no one would talk.
“I’m two months younger than you.” Jiang Xu said dully, puffing out his cheeks.
Seeing the boyish appearance of the other party, Liu Mufeng was happy. After all, he was only thirteen years old. No matter how old Jiang Xu pretended to be in front of outsiders, he was still a thirteen-year-old boy.
“Of course, I know that you are younger than me. You are younger than me, more capable than me, and even helped me get back the spiritual stones I was owed. You are the most powerful.” Liu Mufeng gave him a thumbs up while grinning. He happened to be in a pinch at the moment, and these eighty-five spirit stones coming back in his pocket was just in time to solve his urgent needs.
Being praised so seriously by Liu Mufeng made Jiang Xu blush uncomfortably. “Have you bought everything? I saw you bought a lot of chickens? Where’s the carriage? You sold it?”
“Yeah, I’ve bought everything. I didn’t have enough spirit stones, so I sold the carriage. The chickens were bought for you to eat. You’ve been living here for half a month, and you followed me every day to eat vegetarian food and meat. You are getting thin.” Jiang Xu’s injury was just healed. He needed supplements now, so Liu Mufeng directly bought ten live chickens back. Some could be raised and then slaughtered if they wanted to eat some fresh meat.
Jiang Xu frowned. “You’re really a strange person. If you don’t have enough spirit stones, tell me, don’t I have them here?”
“It’s alright. I’ve already bought everything.” Liu Mufeng said. Then he happily placed the four things he bought on the table and took them out for Jiang Xu to see.
“Did you buy a crystal ball?” Jiang Xu asked curiously, picking up the crystal ball on the table.
In the Lingwu Continent, cultivators used spiritual crystal balls to test the spiritual roots of a person. Most big families or ordinary cultivator families have this crystal ball. It was a common item that could be seen at home.
“Yeah, I bought a crystal ball to test my spiritual roots.” Liu Mufeng wanted to transform his spiritual roots, so he bought a crystal ball and planned to use it to test his main spiritual root.
Jiang Xu raised and put his hand on the crystal ball. A golden beam of light immediately appeared in the crystal ball.
“Single spiritual root, your qualifications are really excellent.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng was very envious. As the number one villain of the book, Jiang Xu was the same as the hero, both were single spiritual roots, and both were swordsmen.
“What about you? Test your spiritual roots.” Jiang Xu handed the crystal ball to Liu Mufeng.
Raising his hand, Liu Mufeng placed his hand on the crystal ball. Five light beams, gold, green, blue, red, and brown, appeared immediately in the crystal ball. They represent the five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
“You are the five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and your main spiritual root is the wood spirit base. No wonder you are so good at planting spiritual plants.” Jiang Xu exclaimed with a smile as he noticed the green light column representing the wood spiritual root that was extraordinarily thick.
“Hey, it’s useless. Even if my main spiritual root is the wood spiritual root, I am still a waste of the five spiritual roots.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng sighed.
“Mufeng, don’t be discouraged. You can find a way to get a Spiritual Cleansing Pill in the future. As long as you take the Cleansing Pill, then your main spiritual root will be stronger. Maybe you can break through the Spiritual Realm and advance to the Spiritual Mortal Realm, or even higher.” Looking at the person sitting across from him, Jiang Xu comforted him softly.
“En, I’ll work hard to cultivate.” In fact, the original owner had the same idea as Jiang Xu, but in the end, he gave up his own life for a Spiritual Cleansing Pill.
Thank you!♡♡♡♡
Thanks for the chapter! What a cute, overbearing cousin, lol.
Thank you for the update! ( ෆ ` ꒳ ´ ෆ ) ˡ º ᵛᵉ ❤ ⃛
Troublesome people. They do believe just because they have a big group, they can bully people. Serves them right to get scared away. 😤
While a few certainly would have gone intending to loot or cause mischief…. Some of them might have believed that thief story, and wanted to catch/rob the thief. Most probably wanted to just follow to see a good show, because frankly, small towns are boring. The chief and a few others probably went just to shut the shrew up. (Some people it is less draining on your sanity and time to just go see what they are complaining about than try arguing since they won’t listen.)
Very accurate analysis
I love how these two cuties are so enthusiastic about everything ❤️
thanks for the chapter!
And the arrogant people were all scared away! Thank you for your hard work ♡
