Chapter 132: Something’s Wrong

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Something’s Wrong

"So it seems that you too are born out of the meritorious fortune of the Human Clan, which makes sense."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to other places to absorb all those fallen feathers."

Following that, Xu Feng took the Sword Spirit Tao Hua around an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.

It was only after absorbing four feathers that they stopped.

"Master, no more, Tao Hua can’t eat anymore." Tao Hua felt a swelling sensation in her body, and this trend was getting worse.

"Can’t you spit it out if you can’t eat it?"

"Don’t overeat and hurt yourself!"

Xu Feng certainly didn’t want his newly acquired Sword Spirit to be overfed to death.

"Master, rest assured, Tao Hua can handle it."

As Sword Spirit Tao Hua spoke, threads of meritorious fortune and Phoenix Divinity began to leak out.

Tao Hua immediately panicked, swiftly releasing waves of Sword Intent to seal the meritorious fortune and the aura of Phoenix Divinity that were spreading outside her body.

"No worries, that Phoenix sheds a feather every so often. If you spit it out, you spit it out. We’ll just go pick up some fresh ones to eat later," said Xu Feng nonchalantly.

But Sword Spirit Tao Hua still tried hard to recollect the meritorious fortune and divinity that was scattering from inside her.

In the end, her own Sword Intent couldn’t seal it completely, and more of the meritorious fortune and divinity were exposed.

At that moment, Sword Spirit Tao Hua seemed like a deflating balloon.

"Master, are there really fresh Phoenix feathers that have just fallen off?"

"Yes, look over there."

Following the guidance of Xu Feng’s Divine Thought, Sword Spirit Tao Hua saw a Phoenix embodying the beauty of heaven and earth in the distance.

At that moment, Sword Spirit Tao Hua was stupefied, staring blankly for a long time.

The Phoenix soaring in the distance also saw Sword Spirit Tao Hua and Xu Feng’s Divine Thought.

At this time, the meritorious fortune and divinity leaking out from Sword Spirit Tao Hua coalesced into two feathers in the air and flew towards that Phoenix.

A Phoenix’s cry resounded through heaven and earth, and the Phoenix landed on the mountain of the Alchemy Cave.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you back."

"But after we return, you must keep the events here a secret," Xu Feng said.

"Master, now that Tao Hua has become your Sword Spirit, your secrets will die with me."

Xu Feng nodded and took Tao Hua back to the Cultivation Room.

After leaving the Cultivation Room, he began to stroll around the courtyard of his house.

At that moment, the communicator rang. It was a light-communication call from Xu Tian.

"Dad, what’s up?" Xu Feng asked, puzzled, seeing his father who had just finished communicating.

"Your mother and I found a very talented child for Artifact Refining in a small town,"

"Hasn’t been picked up by another Great Sect Sacred Land?"

After the birth of children in the Immortal Realm, they would generally be taken to a nearby Immortal City to test their talents.

"This child has a Five Miscellaneous Spirit Root, and the lowest of the low for talent, but he has a talent for Artifact Refining. Using his own wit, he managed to refine a somewhat defective little Magic Artifact."

Xu Feng instantly understood why the child wasn’t selected. A Five Miscellaneous Spirit Root and the lowest talent, once this result came out, there’d be no need to test for Alchemy or Artifact Refining talents.

"The kid has good character, and it’s just him and his mother relying on each other."

"Your mother and I thought we should take the mother and child to the Xu Family. If you want to train the boy, then train him; if not, just ensuring their livelihood is enough," said Xu Tian.

"Okay, where is he? Are you sending them or should I send someone to pick them up?" Xu Feng nodded.

"You send someone over. Immortal Domain, One Thousand Three Hundred Miles north of Moon Soldier City in Wan Bing Immortal City, Sea Li Street, number 378. Just ask for a child named Bai Mo," Xu Tian recited a string of address details.

"Alright, tell the mother and child to wait at home. I’ll have the steward go pick them up."

Just when Xu Tian was about to end the call after finishing the matter, Xu Feng suddenly spoke up.

"Dad, let me know in advance when you and Mom want a third child. I’ll refine some Soul Strengthening Spirit Pills for you."

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at his eldest son and ended the light-communication.

"Sensible issue, why the white eye?" Xu Feng summoned the steward and ordered him to pick up the mother and child.

A common Spirit Boat headed towards the Immortal City Transmission Hall.

At this time, Sword Spirit Tao Hua appeared beside Xu Feng.

"If you’re bored, just wander around in this courtyard. Just make sure not to leave the courtyard’s Array," Xu Feng instructed.

"As you wish, Master."

Right then, a dark shadow flashed across the sky.

"Kid, your relatives from your mother’s side have arrived again. Aren’t you going to welcome them?" A disdainful voice rang out.

A sleek black Sword Spirit revolved rapidly around Xu Feng.

Xu Feng took out three Sword Spirit Pills and tossed them to Sword Spirit Little Black.

"Why only three?" Sword Spirit Little Black was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Not many Spirit Pills left," Xu Feng shook his head and said.

"Don’t joke. You’re the Alchemy Genius of Taichu Sacred Land, you can’t afford these Spirit Pills?" The disdainful tone contained mockery.

"Right, these Spirit Pills are extremely difficult to refine, with very scarce materials. It takes a long time to refine one."

"What I just gave you is all the stock," Xu Feng said while walking towards the Alchemy Room.

"Come on, I personally delivered this sister into your hands. Without me, would you have such a good Sword Spirit?"

"Cash and goods cleared, who said that?"

"Well then, give me 100 Spirit Pills and I’ll teach you how to nurture Sword Spirits. How about that?"

"Don’t look at Tao Hua as a Saint Level Sword Spirit, but..." Sword Spirit Little Black said, glancing at Sword Spirit Tao Hua.

After snapping out of it and feeling something was off, he looked back at Sword Spirit Tao Hua.

"Eh?"

"Tao Hua, something’s not right about you~" Sword Spirit Little Black flew towards Sword Spirit Little Tao.

At that moment, Xu Feng directly retracted Little Tao back into the Beast Taming Space Treasure.

"Why did you retract Tao Hua? Can’t I even check on my own little sister~"

"According to you, Little Tao was originally mine, men and women should not touch each other; it’s better not to make direct contact," the corners of Xu Feng’s mouth slightly curled up.

"Tao Hua is not right, I need to see her!" Sword Spirit Little Black turned into a shadow and entered the Beast Taming Space Treasure.

But he found the Beast Taming Space Treasure was empty, so he came out again.

"Where did you take Tao Hua!"

"Don’t worry about it~"

"Also, I’ve already finished hosting you, shouldn’t you, a relative of the bride’s family, be leaving now?" Xu Feng made a gesture of invitation.

"I won’t, if I can’t see Tao Hua, I won’t leave," Sword Spirit Little Black stubbornly said.

"In that case."

Xu Feng pulled out a Communication Treasure and connected with Black from the Sacred Land.

"Little Black, tell Little Dragon from the Tianxuan Sacred Land that their Black Sword Spirit has been harassing me non-stop, causing me..."

"Don’t, can’t I just leave~"

"You’re really no fun, coming up here just to call the parents~"

Sword Spirit Little Black swished his tail and passed through the Xu Family Courtyard Array.

"Do you still need me to inform Little Dragon from the Tianxuan Sacred Land?" Sacred Land Black asked.

"No need, now please ask for an Immortal Level Array Master from the Sacred Land for me; I want to rearrange the array of my home."

The Array in the courtyard was mainly for concealment, preventing anyone from spying on the Xu Family Courtyard from the sky.

Now, Xu Feng felt it necessary to strengthen the Array of the entire Xu Family Courtyard.

"It costs 5000 Immortal Crystals to ask for an Immortal Level Array Master," Little Black said.

"Okay~"

Not long after, a man in a purple gown appeared outside the Xu Family’s main gate.

"Uncle Master, I’d like to set up the most powerful comprehensive protective Great Array; how many Immortal Crystals would it cost?" Xu Feng’s initial expenditure of those 5000 Immortal Crystals was just the Array Master’s service fee.

"According to the layout of your courtyard, the Xuanyuan Four Elements Array is the most suitable; the materials will require thirty thousand Immortal Crystals."

"It can block any kinds of invasions below the Heavenly Immortal Realm once it is activated," the Immortal Level Array Master said after touring the Xu Family Courtyard.

"Is there anything more powerful that can block Golden Immortals?"

"Of course, the materials alone will cost two hundred thousand Immortal Crystals; my service fee will be sixty thousand Immortal Crystals."

"For the same Sacred Land, I can give you a 10% discount," the Immortal Level Array Master said with a slight smile.

"Let’s go with the Xuanyuan Four Elements Array." Xu Feng made his decision immediately.

"That’s fine, just call me over after the material list is complete."

The Immortal Level Array Master handed Xu Feng a Jade Scroll before leaving.

"Array Masters seem to be quite profitable," Xu Feng said, stroking his chin.

Xu Feng then handed the Jade Scroll to the deputy steward to go out and purchase the materials.

The next day, the steward arrived at the Xu Family Courtyard with a mother and son on a Spirit Boat.

The woman had a weather-beaten face marked by the harshness of life, but now her eyes were full of hope.

The little boy beside her, just over ten years old, had a dull look and plain features, indicating he wasn’t very sharp.

"This is our Young Master," the steward introduced.

Upon hearing this, the woman was about to kneel with the boy at her side but was stopped by a gentle Spiritual Power.

"We don’t do kneeling here; the people you met that day were my parents."

"You will live in the Xu Family from now on," Xu Feng.

At this moment, the little boy beside the woman looked up at Xu Feng.

"Can I have enough to eat from now on?" His voice was a bit stiff, but one could hear a hint of hope.

"You can eat to your fill, and you’ll eat well."

"Your name is Bai Mo, are you interested in Artifact Refining?" Xu Feng showed a friendly smile.

The boy’s dull eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

"Are you an Artifact Refiner?"

Xu Feng did not answer, but turned to look at the steward.

"Take the mother and son to the guest room to rest for a day; bring Bai Mo to see me tomorrow," Xu Feng said before he entered the Alchemy Room.

According to his calculations, his little brother should have run out of Spirit Pills in the Kunxu Realm; he needed to hurry and refine a batch.

The next day, Bai Mo in a white robe appeared before Xu Feng.

"Come on, I’ll give you a chance; if you can gain the approval of a top Spirit Level Artifact Refiner, I’ll let you become his disciple."

The clean and elegant white robe made Bai Mo appear much more intelligent than when he first arrived yesterday.

"Okay," Bai Mo nodded.

Xu Feng, joined by a curious Bai Mo, went to the Artifact Refiner Center.

At this moment, Ling Qian was sitting cross-legged before the quenching furnace, hammering and refining Spiritual Ore materials.

After Xu Feng and Bai Mo entered, Ling Qian just calmly nodded slightly at his master.

"This child has a talent for Artifact Refining; see if he meets your standard for accepting a disciple," Xu Feng said.

"I do not accept disciples," Ling Qian responded calmly.

"Then I command you to accept, set a standard that’s neither high nor low for Bai Mo; if he meets it, you’ll take him as a disciple."
