Five Elements Sacred Secret

On the way back, everyone seemed more relaxed. They were no longer so focused on their own things as they were on the way here. After fighting together once, everyone became more familiar with each other.

They all sat on the deck and chatted, and only then did everyone really get to know each other. The topic of discussion naturally revolved around Mu Xiaofeng, a genius who could fight against an eighth-level foundation-building warrior with a fifth-level foundation-building skill across three small realms, and who also knew a little about formations.

The chat was relaxed and pleasant. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least they showed on the surface that they wanted to make friends with Mu Xiaofeng.

At this time, Xu Shu appeared and said to everyone, "We will settle the reward for this mission when we get back. Mu Xiaofeng, come with me."

Seeing Mu Xiaofeng's envious expression, several people started to make fun of him, "I told you to go and claim your reward. Don't forget us when you become rich."

Mu Xiaofeng just smiled and followed Xu Shu into the cabin.

Watching Xu Shu walk up to the second floor of the cabin, Mu Xiaofeng knew that the person who wanted to see him should be Liu Changqing, who was in the Xuandan realm.

Xu Shu led Mu Xiaofeng into the door of the innermost room.

"Captain Liu, someone is here." Xu Shu knocked on the door and said.

"Come in." Liu Changqing's voice came out.

Xu Shu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Manager Xu, please go and do your work first. I want to talk to Mu Xiaofeng alone."

Liu Changqing was quite polite to Xu Shu.

"Then Captain Liu, you are busy." Xu Shu said and walked out, closing the door before leaving.

"Please sit down." Liu Changqing said when he saw Xu Shu go out.

"Yes, Lord Liu." Seeing that Liu Changqing did not seem to be being polite, Mu Xiaofeng sat on the chair below Liu Changqing's seat.

"Mu Xiaofeng, you have made a great contribution in this battle."

When Mu Xiaofeng heard Liu Changqing just say "great contribution" and nothing else, he understood what he meant.

"It's all thanks to Master Liu. What can a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me do?"

"Haha, that's not the way to say it. You still have merit. I will report to the president when I get back. With your merit this time, I will guarantee that you will be admitted to the Fulu Chamber of Commerce."

Liu Changqing laughed and said, "It's okay as long as Mu Xiaofeng is sensible."

"It all depends on Lord Liu." Mu Xiaofeng had no choice. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss. This is a personal gift to you."

Liu Changqing took out a storage bag and gave it to Mu Xiaofeng and said.

"Thank you very much, Lord Liu." Mu Xiaofeng naturally would not refuse. This was also a signal to Liu Changqing. I accepted your things, and you can take the credit.

"Also, I will report your knowledge of formations to the president and ask him to arrange a proper place for you."

When Liu Changqing saw Mu Xiaofeng put away the things, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Liu. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Mu Xiaofeng guessed that Liu Changqing probably didn't have anything else to do, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. You can't let someone ask you to leave.

"Okay, you go."

Liu Changqing secretly thought that this boy was sensible.

Mu Xiaofeng returned to the deck and everyone came up to ask what was going on.

"Nothing, it's just that Lord Liu saw that I could break the formation on the pirates' ship, so he asked me if I was willing to learn the formation."

Since I have promised Liu Changqing, I can no longer tell him about the weakness of the formation when the battle begins.

Seeing that there was nothing there, everyone stopped asking any more questions on this issue. This formation had little to do with them.

The return journey was faster, and it took only twelve days to get back to Duolu City.

It was still the familiar yard, and Niu Jian was already there.

Liu Changqing saw Niu Jian and quickly stepped forward and said, "Master."

"Captain Liu is back. Not bad, not bad. The mission was successfully completed."

Liu Changqing handed over another ring and said, "Master, this is the ring of the leader of the desperate bandits. It has not been opened yet."

"Haha, Sir Liu is really a lucky general. Xu Shu has already reported to me. This time, thanks to Captain Liu, otherwise the result would be a little unpredictable."

Niu Jian is the head of the outer counter, and he is in charge of this operation. If something goes wrong again, he will definitely be the primary person responsible.

"Master, that's not what I meant. Thanks to you, although there were some setbacks, the result was not a big deal."

"Haha, this pill is for you." Niu Jian said and handed Liu Changqing a jade bottle.

"Thank you, Master." Liu Changqing was visibly happy when he took the jade bottle.

"Then, sir, we will go down first."

"Go ahead." Niu Jian said to Liu Changqing and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something.

"Master, there is a guy named Mu Xiaofeng among the newcomers who knows some formations."

"okay, I get it."

After saying this, Liu Changqing led several Xuandan cultivators away.

Niu Jian and Xu Shu were the only ones left in the yard, and the rest were this group of newcomers.

"Thank you for your hard work. Xu Shu, take them down to get the spirit stones for this mission."

"Yes, sir."

After saying this, Xu Shu led a group of people away, and Mu Xiaofeng naturally followed behind.

"Mu Xiaofeng, please stay for a moment." Niu Jian's voice sounded again.

"Yes, sir." Mu Xiaofeng knew that this might be his chance.

Soon, Mu Xiaofeng and Niu Jian were the only ones left off the court.

"Follow me." Niu Jian said as he walked through an alley.

Mu Xiaofeng followed him all the way to a room where Niu Jian sat down at the upper seat.

"Mu Xiaofeng, I heard that you know some formations? Tell me honestly, how good are your formations?"

"My Lord, I was fortunate enough to obtain a formation foundation in the past, and I only know some simple second-level formations."

Mu Xiaofeng knew that he couldn't tell the truth, nor could he say anything nonsense. He had to have a basis for all of this. He had also broken a second-level formation, so he couldn't hide anything.

"Not bad, not bad. I'll find you a formation master, but you have to do something for me. What do you think?"

"I wonder what the Master wants me to do?"

Mu Xiaofeng didn't dare to agree rashly, in case it turned out to be life-threatening.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. It will be good for you if it's done. But I can't tell you now. Besides, you are only in the foundation building stage now. Isn't it good for you to practice in Fulu Chamber of Commerce?"

After hearing this, Mu Xiaofeng understood that it was no longer up to him to decide whether to agree to this matter or not.

Saying that he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, isn't that a threat?

"Master, now that we have come to this, if I don't agree, I will be ungrateful. It is all up to you, Master."

"That's right. Here, take the reward for this mission, and I'll give you some personal rewards. However, there is only one thing, you must study the formation well and strive to break through to the formation master as soon as possible, otherwise my life will not be easy."

"Yes, sir." Mu Xiaofeng took the storage bag and replied.

Mu Xiaofeng also knew that he had no control over anything now. If Niu Jian said that his life would be hard, would he let him go?
