After dinner.
Sitting at the table, Liu Mufeng took out the books he had previously bought and placed them on the table. Then, he called Xiaoyuan to study with him. With the Dust Cleaning liquid helping Xiaoyuan purify her blood and absorbing Jiang Xu’s large amount of spiritual stones, Xiaoyuan’s strength had successfully stabilized at seven stars of the Spiritual Realm. Moreover, after absorbing Jiang Xu’s spirit stone, the strength of the entire swarm had also increased by a whole level. Naturally, this made Jiang Xu very happy.
Liu Mufeng was also very happy to see that his swarm of bugs improved in strength. However, thinking that Jiang Xu would leave tomorrow, he couldn’t be happy at all.
“This is the structure of the meridians of the human body, and this is the structure of the dantian. You have to study it carefully and keep it in your mind!” Liu Mufeng said earnestly, looking at Xiaoyuan on his shoulder.
Hearing this, Xiaoyuan looked at his master in confusion. “Why do you want me to study this? What does it have to do with me how you guys look?”
“It’s related. Very much related to you. I have five spiritual roots, and like you, I will not be able to break through the Spiritual Realm in this life. But if you can understand this, you can dig out my spiritual roots and eat them, then you will be able to purify your blood again. Maybe, you will also be capable of advancing to the Spiritual Mortal Realm.”
Liu Mufeng had learned from the ancient books that the spiritual roots of cultivators were a great supplement to the Primordial Spirit Insects, and it could purify their bloodline. Xiaoyuan was originally from the lineage of the Royal family. If she ate his spiritual roots, she could advance to the Spiritual Mortal Realm.
Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Xiaoyuan blinked. “Master, you, are you sure you are really willing to give me your spiritual roots to eat?”
“Of course, I can’t give you all. I have five spiritual roots, you can have the four, and leave one for myself.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took out the crystal ball and put his hand on the crystal ball. A beam of light and colors appeared.
“Master, you have the Five Elements Spiritual Roots!” Seeing the five beams of colored lights, Xiaoyuan couldn’t help licking the corner of her mouth. The Five Elements Spiritual Root was a great supplement to her.
“Look clearly, this green root is my main spiritual root– the wood root. This root can’t be eaten by you. However, the other four can be given to you.” Looking at Xiaoyuan, Liu Mufeng said seriously.
“Oh, the green one can’t be eaten!” Nodding, Xiaoyuan expressed her understanding.
“Yes, the green one can’t be eaten. Also, the other four can’t be eaten all at once. You can bite off the other four spiritual roots and take them out of my body. Then, you can eat them slowly after some time when your cultivation becomes more stable. You are now a seven-star in the Spiritual Realm. Suppose your bloodline is purified well and if you eat my four spiritual roots, you have a seventy percent chance of advancing to the Spiritual Mortal Realm. This is a great opportunity for you, ah! So, you have to memorize these two pictures for me. Do you understand?”

“En, I understand, Master!” Then, nodding, again and again, Xiaoyuan immediately flew to the front of the book and started to study the diagram carefully.
“Tbe, vb sbe kjca Wljbsejc ab fja sbeg rqlglaeji gbbar?” Aljcu We ibbxfv ja Ole Zeofcu lc vlryfilfo jr tf kjixfv lcab atf ilnlcu gbbw.

“No! This is too dangerous. What if, what if Xiaoyuan makes a mistake? What if the other insects go the wrong way and hurt your spiritual veins? What if they hurt your dantian? What?” He shook his head again and again. Jiang Xu felt that this was simply impossible.
“Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of a reckless person. I will let Xiaoyuan learn to study these maps first, and then let them dig my spiritual roots.” Liu Mufeng naturally couldn’t be hasty about this.
“No! I disagree. It’s too dangerous. You can’t do this!” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu objected.
“Jiang Xu, you are a single spiritual root, so you don’t understand. From the age of five to now that I am thirteen, eight years, do you know how I lived these eight years? In the Liu family, I even had a servant. But even the servants mocked and despised me. Every time my four uncles saw me, it was like they saw a disgusting mouse. And my cousins? None of them wanted to talk to me or let me go out with them. Everyone avoided me, staying far away. Also, my parents died to find me a spiritual herb. I promised them, I.. I will definitely live my life as my own. I promised them I would not let them down.”
“Mufeng!” Hearing Liu Mufeng say this, Jiang Xu’s eyes couldn’t help but redden.
“Jiang Xu, I know that you have never disliked me, not even a moment. However, I can bet you that there will be no second person like you who does not dislike me. So, I would rather fail. I would rather die than live as lowly as I am now.” If he couldn’t change his five spiritual roots, he could only die and could only be killed by the male and female protagonists.
“But, it’s too dangerous. If I had known that you contracted Xiaoyuan to do this, I, I really wouldn’t have helped you, I really shouldn’t help you.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu felt a little regretful.
“No, thank you for helping me. I am very, very grateful to you.” Without Jiang Xu’s help, the contract with Xiaoyuan would not have been so smooth.
“Mufeng.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu frowned deeply.
“Jiang Xu, don’t worry about this. Tomorrow, can you leave after lunch? I can make steamed buns for you in the morning, and you can put them in your storage ring to eat on the road. Then, at noon, I will cook fish soup, and we can have a drink. Is it alright with you?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng asked softly.
“No. You’re looking like this and thinking about digging your spiritual roots. How can you let me leave with confidence?” Looking at Liu Mufeng with a gloomy face, Jiang Xu was annoyed. He didn’t understand. How could this man be so bold? Why couldn’t he love himself a bit more?
“Jiang Xu, don’t worry so much. I’m sure this thing will be successful.”
“You’re sure? How certain are you?”
“Seventy percent.” It could be a hundred percent successful if it was a Five Elemental Spirit Insect. However, the Primordial Spirit Insect was not a Five Elemental Spirit Insect, after all. Hence, the success rate was less than a hundred percent.
“Seventy percent? Only seventy percent, what if, what if something happens?”
“Then let me be an ordinary person. Anyway, being someone with five spiritual roots is no different from an ordinary person who can’t cultivate. He can only be a waste all his life!” Having said this, Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly.
“You, you…” Looking at the stubborn Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu felt depressed.
“Jiang Xu, I…”
“You don’t have to say it. I know you won’t change your mind. I, I will be your protector. When you succeed, I will leave.” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu made a decision.
Liu Mufeng was secretly happy when he heard Jiang Xu’s words. He thought it would be best to hold Jiang Xu back, and for him to never go to the male protagonist, then he would not die. “Thanks!”
“You ah, how can you come up with such a method? Actually, you can take medicinal pills. For example, you can take a Spiritual Washing Pill or Spiritual Cleansing Pill or the Spiritual Washing Herb.” Jiang Xu felt that taking one of these two pills or the herb was the best method, and it was also safer.
“No, it takes a lot of time, spirit stones, and strength to find the herb and medicinal pills. I’m already thirteen years old. I don’t have time to wait to get older and venture out to find these things. I also don’t have spirit stones or strength to face other cultivators who I’m sure would take advantage of me. So, I can only find another way. The Primordial Spirit Insects are the descendants of the ancient Five Elemental Spirit Insects. Their talent is extremely high. Moreover, Xiaoyuan has the bloodline of the Royal family. She is brilliant. This matter will not be too dangerous.”
“Descendants of the Five Elemental Spirit Insects?” Hearing this, Jiang Xu was stunned.
“Yes, the most sturdy demon beasts were the Five Elemental Spirit Insects in ancient times. The Golden Spirit Insects could devour all kinds of metals and spit out all kinds of magic tools to fight against the enemy. The Wood Spirit Insects could plant the highest grades of spiritual plants and flowers. The Water Spirit Insects were naturally poisonous, highly poisonous, and liked to suck blood. They were also excellent in water formations and arrays. The Fire Spirit Insect was very powerful, and the place where it advanced or breakthrough was in a sea of fire. There were also Earth Spirit Insects, devouring all kinds of arrays, knots, and earth formations. Between the heavens and earth, no race has ever been able to trap them.” Speaking of the glorious history of the Five Elemental Spirit Insects, Liu Mufeng’s face was full of yearning. He thought, ‘If I can cultivate the characteristics of the Five Elemental Spirit Insects from Xiaoyuan, that would be great.’
“So powerful?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu was shocked.
“Yes, the Five Elemental Spirit Insects were very, very powerful. In ancient times, even large demon beasts would detour when they saw the Five Elemental Spirit Insects. The Primordial Spirit Insects are mixed-blood because they have the bloodline of the Five Elemental Spirit Insects in their bodies. There are five bloodlines in their bodies. If they can restore their ancestors and produce one bloodline, then they are the only big killers in this world.”
“Is what you said true? Or are you lying to me? Are Primordial Spirit Insects able to become that powerful?” Jiang Xu was dubious about this.
“Of course, it’s true. There are books to prove it.” Liu Mufeng took out a history book that introduced the Five Elemental Spirit Insects and the Primordial Spirit Insects and handed it to Jiang Xu.
After taking the book, Jiang Xu flipped through it and found that the book’s content was exactly the same as what Liu Mufeng said. “So, you planned this long ago?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu asked uncertainly.
“Yes, to change my bad aptitude, I read a lot of books in my family, and I also bought a lot of books to read in the bookstore in town. I had thought of several methods, but none of them was suitable for me, only this method was the best for me.”
Hearing Liu Mufeng says this, Jiang Xu groaned. “Mufeng!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t be reckless. I will start only after arranging everything. Xiaoyuan is very smart and won’t go wrong.” Liu Mufeng was still very confident about his contract beast.
“Why don’t I go to town tomorrow and buy Xiaoyuan another bottle of Dust Cleaning Liquid? With washing her bloodline twice, will Xiaoyuan become stronger and smarter?” Jiang Xu asked.
“There is no need ah. Jiang Xu, medicinal liquids like cleansing and clearing liquids can only be used once. It won’t work if used again.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng refused directly.
“Then what should I do? Are there any other ways to improve her bloodline?”
“It’s not available for now. Xiaoyuan can’t use the second-grade and third-grade medicinal pills for the time being.” This was because Xiaoyuan’s level was not high enough. Even if there was a second-grade Blood Cleansing Pill, Xiaoyuan couldn’t use it at this time.
“Oh!” Jiang Xu was a little frustrated upon hearing this.
