Every large clan must have their own industrial chain to maintain the prosperity of the clan. Among them, the business of pills and immortal artifacts was definitely the most profitable no matter where they were.

Generally speaking, most of the clans that were engaged in the trade of pills and immortal artifacts would let their direct descendants learn the skills of refining pills and artifacts.

However, the Mu Clan’s luck was not very good. Originally, their ancestors were prosperous, but when it came to Mu Zhengrong’s generation, he was the only male.

In order to make Ding Xingsheng, Mu Zhengrong married more than twenty wives. This was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective method for the succession of a clan.

However, the Mu Clan did not know if the ancestral tomb was not well buried. Mu Zhengrong’s twenty wives had given birth to seven children, and all seven of them were daughters.

One had to know that it was not a simple matter for a cultivator to pass down a child, especially for someone with a high cultivation realm like Mu Zhengrong, even giving birth to a child for him would be risking his life.

When the child was in his stomach, he was a Spirit Infant, and he was also a Xiantian Spirit Infant. In order to grow up, a Spirit Nascent Soul would take the initiative to absorb the Spirit Energy of its mother. At that time, it would be a corpse with two lives.

The birth of a Spirit Infant was not simple either. The law of conception in October had no effect on a Spirit Infant at all.

According to the legends, Nezha’s mother had been pregnant with him for three years and six months.

Normal Spirit Infants would only be born for at least five years. They would absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy when they were alive. Without the assistance of rare top-grade pills and heavenly treasures, Spirit Infants would not be born normally.

Even for a large family like the Mu Clan, having seven daughters was enough for them to drink a pot. It was not an easy task to reproduce.

Because there were no male direct descendants in the family, Mu Zhengrong allowed Zhou Baicao and Zheng Qianren to learn how to refine pills and weapons.

After Zhou Baicao and Zheng Qianren returned from their studies, Mu Qingrou and Mu Dieya had only learned one or two skills when they were refining pills and artifacts.

Low-grade pills and immortal artifacts might not be difficult for the two of them, but they were still far from Zhou Baicao and Zheng Qianren.

Mu Zhengrong naturally knew how much weight the two of them had.

But now that Leng Hanqiu had already bullied him, it was definitely not Mu Zhengrong’s style to admit defeat.

Just as Mu Zhengrong was hesitating, Zhou Baicao smiled and said to Mu Qingrou, “Third young miss, I admit that you are quite talented in refining pills, but I’m afraid that you are a bit younger than me, a master.”

Of course, if Third Miss really wants to compete, I, Zhou Baicao, will definitely accompany her to the end. “But since it’s a competition, then there must be a lottery.”

“What lottery? Tell me!” Mu Qingrou said with a cold face.

“Alright, if I lose, I, Zhou Baicao, will be at your disposal, Mu Clan. If you lose, Third Miss … hehe, of course, I, Zhou Baicao, will be at your disposal.”

“Bah! You cheap dog!”

Mu Qingrou scolded Zhou Baicao, but Zhou Baicao was not angry at all. She only chuckled twice.

That smile was as vulgar as it could be.

“It makes me want to kill someone.” Jiang Tianliu whispered to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded, “I support you. You go quickly.”

Jiang Tianliu curled his lips, “It’s a pity that I don’t dare to make a move. The world will be destroyed by me if I make a move.”

“If you don’t brag, you’ll die.” Jiang Feng did not know that Jiang Tianliu was telling the truth, and after sarcasm, he did not forget to add two words seriously: “Really.”

Jiang Tianliu looked at Jiang Feng discontentedly with his eyes bulging. Jiang Feng raised his sword-like eyebrows without showing any signs of weakness.

Jiang Tianliu’s aura finally softened. “Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Anyway, one day you will understand that your third brother’s peerless elegance isn’t something that you can appreciate right now.”

“I’ve already experienced the peerless elegance of your bragging many times.”

“Quiet! If you speak again, I’ll cut your tongues!”

Jiang Feng and Jiang Tianliu fought with respect. Steward Wang, who was standing diagonally opposite them, could not help but reprimand them.

At this moment, Mu Qingrou suddenly shouted in the main hall, “Alright! Zhou Baicao, if I lose to you, I’ll let you handle it. But if you lose to me, I’ll skin and tear you apart and fry you for nine days and nine nights!”

“Hahaha … Third young miss is still so angry. However, third young miss, you may not have the chance to skin me and tear my bones apart. Let alone you, I, Zhou Baicao, am generous enough to say that whoever in the entire Mu Manor can defeat me in alchemy, I, Zhou Baicao, will be at the disposal of your Mu Manor.”

“Fourth young miss, you see that third young miss has already bet with Brother Hundred Herbs. Why don’t we also bet? Brother Hundred Herbs and I have the same intention. Anyone in the Mu Manor surpasses me in artifact forging and techniques, I will let the Mu Manor handle it.

But if the Mu Manor can’t find such a person, then how about letting me handle fourth young miss? ”

Zheng Qianren’s eyes lit up as he looked at Mu Dieya and smiled.

Although Mu Dieya’s temperament was not as hard as Mu Qingrou’s, she was still a strong girl.

Hearing Zheng Qianren’s provocation, she immediately snorted coldly, “Let’s compete!”

“Good! Finally, your Mu Clan still has some backbone. Coincidentally, I invited the City Lord here today. I believe that the City Lord will be the notary of the competition, so the Mu Clan Lord should not have any objections, right?”

“The City Lord is just, so I, Mu Zhengrong, naturally have no objections.”

Although Mu Zhengrong was very dissatisfied that the City Lord had come with Leng Hanqiu to force him, he knew that with his status as City Lord, it would definitely be impossible for him to openly take sides with Leng Hanqiu.

However, what Mu Zhengrong did not think deeply was that the current Leng Hanqiu Yingmian was not going to favor anyone at all. He only needed to be fair and Leng Hanqiu would basically win.

“Since that’s the case, I would like to ask the City Lord to come up with a competition question.”

City Lord Lu Wanding stood up from his chair.

He smiled and said, “Since Patriarch Leng and Patriarch Mu Clan trust this official so much, then this official will no longer be courteous. The best-selling pill in the Golden Immortal Neighbourhood Market is the Karma Eliminating Pill, and the best-selling Immortal Artifact is the Heavenly Thunder Flash. Since everyone wants to compete, then let’s compare the two.”

“I also know what this Heavenly Lightning Flash is.” Jiang Feng muttered in a low voice. He used his shoulder to touch a servant of the Mu Clan beside him and asked him in a low voice, “Brother, what is Heavenly Lightning Flash?”

“It’s an Immortal Artifact that can be used to escape. Once the spiritual energy is poured into the Immortal Artifact, lightning will burst out. At the same time, there will be a surge of power that will push the user to fly very far away.”

“The servants of the Mu Clan are indeed different from ordinary servants. Take a look at them.” Jiang Feng pretended to talk to Jiang Tianliu, but he actually flattered this family without a trace.

No matter who you flatter, as long as you flatter the right person, it will be very useful.

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the servant immediately smiled modestly, “No, no, even though Heavenly Lightning Flash is precious, the Mu Manor has always produced it, so all the official servants of the Mu Manor know about it.”

“Oh, I see.” Jiang Feng nodded.

While Jiang Feng was talking to this servant, Zhou Baicao, Mu Qingrou, Zheng Qianren, and Mu Dieya had already finished their preparations.

The pill cauldron, spirit wood, medicinal materials, forging materials, and other things were all available.

Zhou Baicao and the others even placed their pill recipes and equipment refining notes beside them in case they were careless in refining pills or equipment.

Lu Wanding asked the four of them, “Are the four of you ready?”

“Lord Returning City Lord, you’re ready.”

Zhou Baicao and the others answered in unison.

Lu Wanding smiled and nodded, “Very good, the four of you can begin.”

Before Zhou Baicao and the others officially started, Jiang Feng had originally wanted to see how the people of the God Realm refined pills and artifacts in order to learn from their experiences.

However, Jiang Feng didn’t expect that the moment Zhou Baicao and Mu Qingrou attacked, he would immediately be speechless.

The two of them took out a subdued beast ring and released an immortal beast.

Zhou Baicao released a peacock covered in bloody flames, while Mu Qingrou released a large bird that looked like a phoenix.

When Jiang Feng first saw it, he cried out, “Vermillion Bird?”

The Mu Clan servant standing beside him quickly pulled on his sleeve and whispered, “Lower your voice. Third Miss, that’s just a three-tailed grass phoenix. It’s a fourth-grade immortal beast. It’s not comparable to the Vermillion Bird Divine Beast.”

“Three-tailed Grass Phoenix?” This was the first time Jiang Feng had heard the name of such a spirit beast. It seemed that the God Realm was indeed rich in resources.

On the other side, Zheng Qianren and Mu Dieya were basically the same. They both used the beast flames sprayed out by Immortal Beasts to forge their weapons.

From this alone, Jiang Feng could no longer appreciate the pill refining and artifact forging skills of the four of them.

This was because no matter if it was refining pills or artifacts, they all paid great attention to the control of the temperature. In order to perfectly exert the medicinal power of the pill, Zuo Ci even created a fire-controlling technique, risking his life to incorporate the Spiritual Fire into his body. What was going on with refining pills using the beast fire of an immortal beast?

Originally, Jiang Feng had already looked down on Zhou Baicao and Mu Qingrou from this root. However, when the first step of refining pills came, Jiang Feng discovered that Zhou Baicao and Mu Qingrou actually used spiritual energy to purify the pills directly. They did not put the medicinal ingredients into the pill cauldron at all.

When he saw this, Jiang Feng no longer wanted to watch Zhou Baicao and Mu Qingrou compete.

He could only say that Zhou Baicao and the others were practicing pill techniques, while he was practicing pill dao himself. The two of them were not at the same level at all.

Jiang Feng turned his gaze to Zheng Qianren and Mu Dieya.

At this moment, Zheng Qianren and Mu Dieya were both removing impurities from the materials needed to forge the artifact. Jiang Feng glanced at them and didn’t look at them anymore.

Removing impurities would not completely liquefy the material, and then separate it with spiritual will. What impurities would be removed? Using a fake beast fire to roast it was called removing impurities?

“A group of outsiders.” Jiang Feng grunted. His words happened to be heard by Jiang Tianliu beside him.

Jiang Tianliu rolled his eyes and hurriedly whispered to Jiang Feng, “Xiao Feng, can you refine pills and artifacts?”

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Tianliu doubtfully, “Yes, why are you asking?”
