After the two had divided things up, at Liu Mufeng’s suggestion, they dug a pit beside the cave. Then, they buried the skeleton of the old senior.
Taking out the spiked-tooth boar meat that Jiang Xu had kept, Liu Mufeng set up a fire outside the cave and grilled the meat for Jiang Xu.
“Xiao Xu, I think it’s getting dark. Why don’t we stay in this cave tonight, and we’ll be on our way tomorrow? What do you think?” Liu Mufeng chatted with Jiang Xu next to him while roasting the meat. He felt that it was not safe to travel at night, so they could stay here to rest until morning. Anyway, they were on the outskirts of the jungle. So there won’t be any danger of too many demon beasts attacking them.
Hearing this, Jiang Xu thought for a while. Then he said, “Mufeng, I want to stay here and go into seclusion for a while.”
“You’re going into seclusion?” Raising his eyebrows, Liu Mufeng looked at him suspiciously.

“How confident are you?” Looking at the person beside him, Liu Mufeng asked seriously.
“Eighty percent.” Previously, he did not have enough spirit stones on hand, so Jiang Xu never dared to advance. He was worried that he would fail, but now there was no need to worry.
“Okay, then Xiaoyuan and I will be your protector. You can advance here. Otherwise, it will not be safe for you to carry so many spirit stones.” After thinking about it, Liu Mufeng agreed because he remembered that it was also mentioned in the original novel that the villain had advanced to the Spiritual Mortal Realm at the age of thirteen. At this moment, Jiang Xu’s seclusion time just matched.
“Okay, I’ll be retreating in the inner cave, and I will place a barrier enchantment on the entrances of the two caves inside and outside. So you don’t have to worry about demon beasts coming over.” Jiang Xu decided to arrange a few safety measures.
“Okay, have a good rest tonight. We will start preparing tomorrow. Arrange some barriers and traps outside the cave to ensure safety.” Since he was going into closed-door cultivation, precautions were essential.
“En!” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.
The next day, Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng were busy inside and out of the cave. Finally, after arranging the barriers and traps, Jiang Xu went to the inner cave to retreat.
Seeing Jiang Xu meditating on the stone bed, Liu Mufeng slightly raised the corner of his mouth. Liu Mufeng was very happy that his sweetheart would advance to the Spiritual Mortal Realm. Still, thinking of his four-star strength in the Spiritual Realm, Liu Mufeng was a little frustrated. It seems that he has to cultivate hard as well.
Opening the animal raising bag, Liu Mufeng released Xiaoyuan and her subordinates. “Xiaoyuan, take your subordinates and stay in this cave to protect Xiao Xu’s safety. If demon beasts are coming over, you must tell me as soon as possible.”
“I understand, Master!” Xiaoyuan said, nodding at the same time to express her understanding.
“Okay.” Taking another look at Jiang Xu, who was sitting in the inner cave, Liu Mufeng turned around and went to the corner of the cave. He took off the bracelet on his wrist. He then bit his index finger and dripped his own blood on the bracelet. The seemingly ordinary gold ornament on his hand glowed a bright red, and a contract seal immediately appeared on his consciousness.
According to the original novel, the contract became void, and the information on the bracelet was well-hidden when the alchemist, as its previous master, died when he failed to breakthrough. It would only be activated once another contract is completed. That’s the reason why Jiang Xu wasn’t able to see that the bracelet was a high-grade magic treasure.
Once the contract was completed, Liu Mufeng as the master of the magic tool, immediately hid the bracelet’s power using his divine consciousness. He then disappeared directly from the cave.
As her master disappeared without a trace, Xiaoyuan blinked. He immediately checked her divine consciousness for the master-servant contract to make sure that her rookie master was not dead but alive. When she felt his presence, she did not bother to think of his whereabouts anymore. Boss Jiang is advancing in the cave inside. Her Master asked her to protect Boss Jiang in this cave from outside. He must be dutifully protected. And Boss Jiang also said that when he reaches the Spiritual Mortal Realm, he will get them another spiked-tooth boar to improve their meals.
And so, Liu Mufeng was again sold by his contract beast just for the food.
“Buzz…” Xiaoyuan called a few times to his subordinates. Then, all the Primordial Spirit Insects flew to the cave entrance, lying on the stone wall one after another, earnestly standing guard for Jiang Xu.
