Chapter 42: The Qing Yuan Fruit

The remaining two men ran away immediately, whereas Xiao Ting, Zhao Chen and Li Dahu all looked at the scene in astonishment . Together, these two young men really killed a Zi Fu level cultivator!

“Xiao Kuang, are you okay?”

Mu Feng hurried over to help Mu Kuang . Mu Kuang stood up, shook his head, and laughed: “I’m fine . ”

“Let me have a look . ”

Mu Feng looked at Mu Kuang’s chest and calf that had been stabbed and found out that he only had minor scratches . The Sword Qi did not penetrate his organs .

“Haha, it seems that your suffering was worthwhile after all . With your current defensive power, I think that not many Tong Mai level cultivators can beat you in a fight . ”

Mu Feng said with a laugh . The Sword Qi of a Zi Fu level cultivator could pierce through rocks within 10 meters, but it would be dispersed if it was more than that .

Thanks to the Gas s.h.i.+eld that was formed after cultivating the Blood-burning Body cultivation method, Mu Kuang’s body was able to withstand his opponent’s Sword Qi .

Of course, the distance between Mu Kuang and his opponent was also relatively far . If it was within a three-meters distance, he would still suffer serious injuries due to the Sword Qi .

“Thank you both so much for helping us today . I’m Zhao Chen . It was all thanks to you both that we were able to survive . ”

Zhao Chen and his men came over with the wounded guy and thanked them profusely .

“You’re too modest, Brother Zhao . All we did is lend a helping hand to the needy . Your brother’s wound seems quite serious, I have some healing medicine . ”

Mu Feng took out a white-colored medicine bottle from his Qian Kun ring .

“A Qian Kun ring!”

The three people were amazed . They looked at Mu Feng from a different perspective now, as this ring is not affordable by ordinary people .  

His family background is not ordinary .

The three thought to themselves .

The lady called Xiao Ting thanked him and quickly applied the medicine on the man’s wound .

“May I know your names? So that I can repay you later . ”

Zhao Chen asked .

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude . I’m Mu Feng . This is my brother Mu Kuang . We came to train in the An Nan mountains . ”

Mu Feng said with a smile .

“Both of your surnames are Mu; are you guys disciples of Mu family? Both of your Wudo skills are so great and you guys can actually kill a Zi Fu level cultivator–it’s amazing . ”

Zhao Chen exclaimed .

“You’re overpraising us, Brother Zhao . That guy looked down on us too much . Besides, he used up a lot of Vitality in his previous battle, which is why we won the fight by cooperating with each other . ”

“This isn’t a good place to talk . I’m afraid that some powerful Xiong Beasts will be attracted by the smell of blood . Let’s get out of here first . ”

Zhao Chen said after looking at the corpses on the ground . Mu Feng nodded . He and Mu Kuang then went to collect the corpses of the three men that they killed into his Qian Kun ring . They even found more than 100 gold coins when they searched through the bodies, but there was nothing else besides that .

Then, they left the other corpses there, as they were positive that pa.s.sing beasts would clean them up . After that, they left the place .

The few of them came to an area that was near the border of the An Nan mountains and stopped in front of a stream . The injured man regained his consciousness, but he was seriously injured, so he wasn’t able to walk .

Mu Feng and Mu Kuang went downstream to take a bath . They reeked of blood and sweat as they had been in the mountains for many days .

Li Dahu managed to catch a few fish upstream and Xiao Ting tended to the wounded . Zhao Chen raised a fire . After a while, they sat around the fire and chatted while eating smoked fish .

There was a trace of shock in Zhao Chen’s eyes when he saw that Mu Feng’s bare upper body was full of scars . Xiao Ting was also shocked .

“Little brother Feng, why are there so many scars on your body?”

Xiao Ting asked in surprise .

“Some of these scars looked like they’ve just healed, but the others looked like very old scars . Besides, most of them are knife and spear wounds . No wonder your Wudo skills are so strong, you must have been through many battles . ”

Zhao Chen said in astonishment .

“Hehe, let me tell you something, Brother Zhao . Brother Feng grew up in the army from a young age . He isn’t that old, but he has been through countless battles and killed more than hundreds . All his injuries are battle scars . ”

Mu Kuang said with a laugh . He was very proud to tell the others about Mu Feng’s battle scars .

“Really? I think Mu Feng should be around 15 or 16 years old at most, but he has fought in so many battles already?”

Xiao Ting said with a hint of admiration .

“My brother is just joking . It’s true that I grew up in an army and fought in many battles, but I wouldn’t say that I’ve fought in ‘countless’ battles . ”

Mu Feng finished changing and covered his battle scars and Qilin tattoo with his s.h.i.+rt .

“I’ve heard about the Blood Qilin tattoo before . I believe it was a military tattoo of the Mu family . Don’t tell me that Brother Feng used to be in the Mu army?”

Zhao Chen asked .

Upon hearing the words, there was a trace of sadness in Mu Feng’s eyes . He nodded .

“I heard that the Mu army was completely wiped out at the battlefront not long ago . That army was the one I admired most, and it was filled with the loyal and righteous men of our country . I didn’t know that Brother Feng had joined the Mu army before . That explains why you are so powerful . Oh, let’s stop talking about that . Thank you both so much for saving us today . You guys have my utmost respect!”

Zhao Chen picked up his bota bag and clasped hands towards Mu Feng and Mu Kuang .  (EN: A bota bag is a traditional liquid receptacle that was usually made of leather and was mainly used to carry wine when travelling . It kind of resembles a stomach . )

Xiao Ting and Li Dahu each picked up a bota bag and clasped hands as well .

“Please, be my guest!”

The five of them drank from the bota bags and started to chat .

“Brother Zhao, who are you guys? Why did they pick a fight with you?”

Mu Feng asked .

“They are from the Yellow Tiger Regiment in An Nan city . The Yellow Tiger Regiment is a powerful organization in the city and we, the Wild Wolf Regiment, have had come conflicts with them in the past . We came to the An Nan mountains to help somebody find a type of herbal medicine . In the end, we found a Qing Yuan tree, so we picked two Qing Yuan fruits from it . However, we b.u.mped into the people from the Yellow Tiger Regiment, and they planned to kill us and steal our treasure . ”

Zhao Chen explained .

The Qing Yuan fruit was a type of fruit that grew by absorbing Vitality . It could help cultivators below the Ning Gang level improve their cultivation . It could also help Tong Mai Ninth Sky cultivators reach Zi Fu level by eating it .

“I see . ”

Mu Feng nodded . Zhao Chen took out a fist-sized green fruit that had a glossy surface from his bag . It was the Qing Yuan fruit .

“My brothers, you can have this Qing Yuan fruit . As for the other one, my sister needs it to reach the Zi Fu level, so I can’t give it to you . Thanks for saving our lives . ”

Zhao Chen said sincerely and handed the fruit to Mu Feng .

“No, no, no . You got it by risking your lives, we can’t take it . ”

Mu Feng and Mu Kuang shooked their heads and refused .

“Aiya, just take it, or else we will feel guilty . A Qing Yuan fruit is nowhere near comparable to the help that you two brothers gave us . ”

Zhao Chen said as he pushed the Qing Yuan fruit into Mu Feng’s hands .

“Yeah, just take it . ”

Xiao Ting and Li Dahu also said sincerely .

Mu Feng and Mu Kuang exchanged a look and felt that they shouldn’t refuse anymore, so they accepted it . Mu Feng gave the fruit to Mu Kuang, as it would be of use to Mu Kuang since he had now reached Tong Mai Ninth Sky . As for Mu Feng, his Zi Fu Dantian was still damaged, so it wouldn’t be of use to him .

They chatted while eating . Later, they went their separate ways as Zhao Chen and his men had to finish their duties and send their injured comrade back for medical treatment as well .

As for Mu Feng and Mu Kuang, they chose to stay in the An Nan mountains . Mu Feng still needed to hunt Xiong Beasts to restore his Zi Fu Dantian .
