Driving the carriage, Liu Mufeng hurriedly returned to Zhang family Village. He tied the demon horse and the carriage in the yard when he reached home. He stumbled into the house and slumped on the bed. Cold sweat had already seeped through his shirt.
He was a modern man who had lived in a civilized society! He had only seen murders like this on his cell phone and TV. But today, there was a live broadcast for him. After accepting the original owner’s memory, he knew that this Lingwu Continent respected Martial Arts, killing and arson was a common occurrence, and no one cared at all. All the city owners only cared about was making money and their own interests. As long as you don’t infringe on their interests, killing anyone you liked was not against the law.
Although every city had a ban on killing people in public, if you killed secretly, no one would care as long as you didn’t kill in a crowded place in the downtown area.
He knew it was chaotic here, and human life was as low as grass. However, knowing it and seeing it with your own eyes was different.
Slowly calming down his mood, Liu Mufeng secretly told himself that this was the Lingwu Continent. He would have to live in this environment in the future. He should get used to this kind of life. Get used to being someone who could kill, not someone who could be killed at any time. People make chopping boards, and I make fish meat. This feeling of being held against the neck with a knife, Liu Mufeng definitely didn’t want to try it a second time.
Taking out the newly bought bronze mirror, Liu Mufeng raised his chin and looked at the scar on his neck. It was just a small wound. The blood had dried up, and it was not a big problem.

The masked man wanted to kill the coachman for the offered rewards. If the masked man knew that he had stolen the spirit stones of these five people, it was estimated that the masked man would definitely kill him. Therefore, the spirit stones in these storage rings could not be removed, at least not too much.
After thinking for a while, Liu Mufeng finally decided to take 50 spirit stones from each of the five storage rings. He took a total of 250 spirit stones, and then he checked other things and took three first-level Spiritual Talismans. He didn’t dare to move anything else that was precious. Then he put the five storage rings into his own storage ring.
Liu Mufeng prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the coachman and the masked man would perish together. In that case, the storage rings of these five people would all belong to him.
In the next few days, Liu Mufeng continued to take care of his spiritual field and ripened his spiritual herbs as usual. He also went to a few farmers’ homes to buy fodder for the demon horse to eat. Liu Mufeng thought that if this carriage was taken to Shuangyang Town, even the demon horse and the carriage could be sold for three hundred spirit stones. After a few days, if the masked man or the coachman didn’t come looking for him, he would sell the carriage by himself.
In fact, Liu Mufeng also thought about running away with the money and driving the carriage away from the Zhang family Village. However, he was afraid that he would be found by the masked man and the coachman. Those two guys were ruthless experts. If he ran away, he would undoubtedly be caught and sure to die.
Alas! He could only blame his useless physique and his low-level strength of four stars in the Spiritual Realm. Why should he be afraid of those two people if his strength was high enough?
Liu Mufeng took out a book introducing history as he sat down on a chair. He went to Shuangyang Town to study for 97 days, which gave Liu Mufeng a deeper understanding of this Lingwu Continent. He also found five methods to change his five spiritual roots.
The first method was to wash his spiritual roots with an elixir.
Spiritual Washing Pill was the gospel of all multi-rooted cultivators. Just taking one pill could turn a waste of five spiritual roots into a genius of a single spiritual root. However, the Lingwu Continent was only a low-level cultivation continent, and there was no Spiritual Washing Pill here. If he wanted to wash his spiritual roots with an elixir, he must go to the Shengtian Continent. And even in the Shengtian Continent, whose overall strength was much higher than that of the Lingwu Continent, the Spiritual Washing Pill only appeared at auctions. If he wanted to buy things at an auction, he needed a lot of spirit stones and higher strength, because weaker people would be killed at any time. However, his four-star waste material in the Spiritual Realm had no spirit stone nor strength. Therefore, this method was not suitable for him.
The second method was to wash his spiritual roots with a Spiritual Herb. Taking the Spiritual Washing Herb could wash off the spiritual roots of a person. But the problem was that the Spiritual Washing Herbs were only available in the secret realms and some dangerous places, so this method was also not suitable for him.
The third method was the Spiritual Cleansing Pill. The Spiritual Cleansing Pill did not have the effect of washing away the spiritual roots. Still, it could make the main spiritual root of the cultivator stronger and the secondary spiritual roots weaker. In this way, the main spiritual root would be strengthened if the cultivator would cultivate afterwards. Therefore, it would have an easy 30 percent chance of advancement.
This kind of elixir was available in the Lingwu Continent, but it must be bought at an auction. The original owner had wanted to purchase this medicinal pill. As a result, he sold the pill furnace and was murdered by the hero and heroine to steal the treasure. Therefore, Liu Mufeng felt that this method was not suitable for him.
The fourth method was the Azure Silk Plant. The Azure Silk Plant was bluish-green in color and had a very thin vine, hence the name. It was a kind of poison ivy whose venom could corrode the spiritual roots. Many people liked to use this poison plant to deal with their enemies. Destroying the spiritual roots of their enemies and turning them into useless people who could not cultivate.
Throughout history, many ordinary five and six spiritual roots ventured to the jungle to find the Azure Silk Plant. They wanted to extract its venom to erode the additional spiritual roots. However, there were very few successful precedents. Because the Azure Silk Plant’s venom was completely uncontrollable, it could easily erode the user’s five spiritual roots. It would directly turn the person into a wasteful person who wouldn’t have the ability to cultivate again. This method was too dangerous, and Liu Mufeng thought it was also unsuitable.
The fifth method, and the last method, was the Five Elements Spirit Insects. There were Five Elements Spirit Insects in ancient times, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. The Five Elements Spirit Insects were susceptible to the five elements. They were also very intelligent and could identify the five elements of spiritual roots. Supposed he could contract a Five Element Spirit Insect and eat his own spiritual roots. In that case, he may turn himself into a single spiritual root. Moreover, this method had a high success rate.
However, the Five Elements Spirit Insects had long since become extinct. At present, there were no Five Elements Spirit Insects that could defy the heavens in the Lingwu Continent. There were only the Primordial Spirit Insects of mixed-blood descendants of the Five Elements Spirit Insects, commonly known as waste bugs. This kind of bug would only remain in the Spiritual Realm all its life because of its mixed blood. So people call it a waste bug, claiming that they were like a cultivator with five spiritual roots.
After thinking about it, Liu Mufeng felt that among the five methods, the fifth method was the safest one that he could do at the moment. Only the fifth was the contractual source of Primordial Spirit Insects gnawing at the spiritual roots. However, even if it was a waste bug that could not break through above the Spiritual Realm in a lifetime, with his current 4-star strength in the Spiritual Realm, it might not be easy for him to make a contract. Sure enough, weak strength was a complicated injury.
Such a wise boy. Saving only a little of his stolen goods for himself might sound safe. But if one of the guys come to take the rings back by force they may also take the one wich belonged originally to him. 😅
Thank you for the update! ♡
Keep the loot! LOL
He is smart to even think about the consequences of taking the rings and the carriage. I know a lot of people who would just go around spending and bragging.
I really like him! ♡
TYSM for the chapter!
Don’t worry little Mufeng, you’ll have your breakthrough soon~
thanks for the chapter!
He’s really smart, I hope his brain can make up for his weak strength!!
All these methods sound awful, spiritual washing herb sounds like a laxative and insects gnawing on your spirit sounds painful 😖. No thanks to all of them lol
Thanks for the translation ❤
