Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"After decades of hard work, I have finally refined this sword that can ward off evil spirits!"

In the Yin-Yang Hall of Xuanzhen Palace, Lu Tiandu, who was sitting cross-legged, felt the inch-long willow-leaf-shaped golden flying sword gradually taking shape in his liver, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This sword has taken shape. After it has been nurtured for a few more years using the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, it can be used against the enemy!"

Ever since the Liuli Jinshen Technique advanced to the sixth level decades ago and his physical strength was enhanced again, Lu Tiandu put the plan of refining the second Xuanzhen Sword on the agenda.

Over the years, in his daily practice, he spent a lot of time practicing the thunder-worshiping technique he learned from the Ye family. His efforts paid off, and decades of hard work finally allowed him to master the magical power of the thunder to ward off evil spirits.

After perfecting the Divine Thunder of Wood, Lu Tiandu followed his previous experience in refining the Taiyin Xuanzhen Sword and used the Divine Furnace of Creation to extract the essence of wood-element spiritual objects, fused the origin of wood, and gradually integrated the Divine Thunder of Exorcism that he had cultivated into his liver, thus beginning to nurture the sword embryo.

The result was as expected, and similar to the time when he refined the Taiyin Xuanzhen Sword, when he planted the 'sword embryo' and condensed the sword seed, the shape of the sword did not condense into the form he intended.

With his previous experience, he did not force it too much and let the sword grow on its own. As a result, the flying sword that finally formed looked more like a slightly thick willow leaf than a flying sword.

After carefully looking inside himself and finding nothing unusual, Lu Tiandu stopped practicing.

"It's been more than ten years since I last saw you girls. This is a good opportunity for us to come out of seclusion and reunite!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Tiandu arrived at the entrance of the hall. He shook his sleeves, emitting a golden-purple glow. After opening the restriction, his figure flashed and he flew towards somewhere in Xuanzhen Palace.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Tiandu arrived somewhere in the void of the sea of ​​clouds. As he cast a spell with one hand, the sea of ​​clouds in front of him rolled, and a passage about ten feet wide appeared.

Lu Tiandu took a step forward and in the next moment he arrived at the end of the passage.

There is still a colorful sea of ​​clouds here, and deep in the sea of ​​clouds, a colorful hill dozens of feet high is sparkling with charming rays of light, appearing and disappearing, and is extremely eye-catching.

"Kunwu Holy Mountain!"

Looking at this seemingly real hill deep in the sea of ​​clouds, Lu Tian couldn't help but smile.

This mountain was the magical treasure that was obtained decades ago by Youluo and the women in the tower by combining the Holy Lotus Island, a small half of Kunwu Mountain that was refined that year, and various other materials worth billions.

This treasure is not only a rare Sumeru treasure with a huge space inside, but also integrates the functions of attack, defense, invisibility, flying and so on. After it was refined, although everyone guessed that this treasure was extraordinary in power, they did not know whether it could be ranked in the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List.

Therefore, Lu Tian deliberately took this treasure out of the Stone Bead World and let the Chaos Spirit List of the Spirit World sense it.

Sure enough, after Nangong Ping refined this treasure, everyone knew that this treasure not only made it onto the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List, but was ranked over seven hundredth.

In this way, this Kunwu Holy Mountain can be regarded as the first magical treasure in the hands of Lu Tiandu and others!

Over the past ten thousand years, although there were occasional cultivators who refined top-level spiritual treasures and squeezed into the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List to achieve the title of Tongtian Spiritual Treasure, most of them were ranked at the bottom of the list. Occasionally, one or two could be ranked in the eighth or ninth thousandth place, which was considered pretty good.

And this mysterious Kunwu Holy Mountain was suddenly ranked more than 700th. Although the sensation it caused was not as shocking as the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword, the third-ranked Xuantian treasure hundreds of years ago, it still caused quite a stir.

Naturally, Lu Tiandu wouldn't care about this matter.

After the successful refining of Kunwu Holy Mountain, all the women in the Yaochi Tower moved their caves as well as most of the medicinal fields and orchards to Kunwu Holy Mountain.

Afterwards, Lu Tiandu placed the Kunwu Holy Mountain in a sea of ​​clouds near the Xuanzhen Palace.

All in all, except for Peacock, who no longer needs to take the Dust-Murdering Pill and is still practicing in the Yaochi Tower, all the other women in the human world have been practicing in the Kunwu Holy Mountain for decades.

Lu Tiandu's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the Kunwu Holy Mountain.

"Hey, my husband, you're out!"

In the main hall of Kunwu Holy Mountain, the Wenxian Hall, Lu Tiandu had just appeared, and women such as Wang Yun and Chen Qiaoqian also appeared. Seeing Lu Tiandu reappear after more than ten years, they were all excited.

"Well, I just finished refining the Xuanzhen Sword to ward off evil, so I came out to see you!"

While Lu Tiandu was speaking, he had already embraced the two beauties beside him. He scanned the aura around the women and said with a smile:

"It seems that you haven't slacked off in your training over the years, and now you have all reached the peak of the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm!"

"Hehe, if it weren't for the Qixia Lotus provided by my husband, how could we have advanced to the late stage of the Spiritualization so quickly?"

Ling Yuling smiled and looked at Lu Tiandu lovingly, "Speaking of which, the sisters who have cultivated to the peak of the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm are preparing to wait for you, my husband, to come out of retreat and return to the Yaochi Tower to advance to the Refining Void Realm!"

"In that case, I'll just send you to the tower to break through this time!"

Lu Tiandu also smiled and nodded.

The women who have now advanced to the realm of refining emptiness naturally no longer need to go to the Yao Chi Tower to practice. However, if the other twenty or so women were to advance to the realm of refining emptiness in the outside world, it would naturally make a lot of noise. Therefore, according to the previous plan, when they reach the point of breakthrough, they will re-enter the Yao Chi Tower to break through.

After a while, the women who had not entered deep retreat came to the Wenxian Palace one by one.

During these years of ascending to the spiritual world, except for Peacock who was the first to enter the late stage of Spirit Transformation and is now in seclusion to break through the stage of Void Refinement, the other eleven women, Nishang, Wang Yun, Chen Qiaoqian, Nie Ying, Xin Ruyin, Xiaomei, Lu Tianxuan, Yan Ruyan, Yuan Yao, Ling Yuling, and Zi Ling, have also practiced to the peak of the late stage in recent years.

As for the remaining girls, even Dong Xuan'er, who has the lowest cultivation level, has now reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In just over a hundred years, the cultivation of the women who came to the spiritual world with Lu Tiandu has also undergone tremendous changes.

Everyone was talking and laughing, drinking spiritual wine, eating spiritual fruits and chatting.

At this time, Qi Zhenzhen asked with a smile:

"Didn't my husband say that he had been preparing for the birth of Yaochi Palace over the years? We sisters are almost ready..."

"Huh? Tell me!"

When Lu Tian heard Qi Zhenzhen mention the plan that everyone had discussed before to bring Yao Chi Palace to the world, he became curious as he had been in seclusion for all these years and didn't know what the progress was.

"Over the years, the sisters have made a lot of preparations in portable caves, spiritual treasures, spiritual pills, spiritual talismans, etc. in addition to their cultivation..."

Qi Zhenzhen talked about some of the preparations they had made over the years.

Since suspending transactions with cultivators from Tianyuan City, Lu Tiandu has also made several transactions with the Min family and the Ye family over the years. The items Lu Tiandu took out for transactions were mainly spiritual treasures and spiritual pills, and what he gained were naturally various raw materials.

These spiritual treasures and elixirs that were put up for trade were naturally a small portion of the cultivation resources refined by the women. As for the majority of the rest, they remained in the Kunwu Holy Mountain to prepare for the first auction after the birth of the Yaochi Palace.

There are now more than ten female cultivators at the level of Lianxu in Kunwu Holy Mountain. The consumption of resources for daily cultivation is naturally huge, so the women attach great importance to the first auction held after the birth of Yaochi Palace.

The various finished cultivation resources they have accumulated over the years are rarely seen in the outside world. If they are put on auction, they can definitely be sold at a sky-high price. It is naturally not difficult to obtain a large amount of spirit stones, raw materials and other cultivation resources.

"Why don't we wait until some of you advance to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage before holding this event? What do you think?"

Lu Tiandu pondered for a moment and said, "With all your preparations over the years, if this auction is promoted in the Three Realms, it might attract fusion cultivators. Moreover, the transaction volume of this auction is as high as billions of spirit stones, which will inevitably make some people jealous. Although you have practiced the combined attack secret technique in the "Six Gods Controlling Spirits", your realm is still low after all. If you encounter fusion cultivators causing trouble, you will inevitably be in a mess..."

"As for the various resources for practicing in the Void Refining Stage, you don't have to worry too much. We have previously copied several secret caves of Qin Ze, and we also have the two major channels of the Min Family and the Ye Family. We are not short of various spiritual medicines for refining Void Refining Grade pills!"

Lu Tian knew that the women were eager to start a business force, mainly to share some of the pressure for him. However, what they didn't know was that with the channels of the Min family and the Ye family, Lu Tian could continuously obtain various raw materials to make up for the world's origin. With the world's origin, the little green liquid that gave birth to spiritual medicine was never lacking, so the rare spiritual pills such as Xuanyuan Pill and Tenglong Pill in the outside world were not as they thought.

"In that case, I will obey my husband in everything!"

Time flies. After accompanying the girls in Kunwu Holy Mountain for more than two months, one day, after receiving the sound transmission note sent by Ye Ying, Lu Tiandu left Kunwu Holy Mountain and came to the palace where Ye Ying practiced daily.

"Brother Lu!"

Seeing Lu Tiandu coming, Ye Ying was extremely happy and naturally threw herself into Lu Tiandu's arms.

After a hundred years, Ye Ying now has a large amount of cultivation resources provided by the Ye family and Lu Tian, ​​and has now advanced to the middle stage of the God Transformation.

Before, this girl looked like she was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she was extremely beautiful, there was a bit of childishness on her pretty face.

But now, as Ye Ying's cultivation has improved, she seems to have matured a lot and looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Is this mission completed?"

Lu Tiandu hugged the beautiful girl, looked at the extremely pretty girl in his arms, and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, with all the cards that Brother Lu has prepared for me, how can these tasks be difficult for me?"

Ye Ying giggled and sniffed the scent around Lu Tiandu with an infatuated look on her face. "This time, I heard from some good friends of the Zhenling family about some of the movements of the Long family that Brother Lu had asked me to pay attention to before..."

After listening to Ye Ying, Lu Tiandu smiled and said:
"It seems that the news that you have the blood of the Colorful Phoenix has been secretly discovered by others over the years. If this news can be heard by the cultivators of your Ye family, it is no surprise that the Long family secretly prepared the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique for you..."

"Hehe, with Brother Lu by my side, I won't be afraid of them!"

Ye Ying giggled and looked at Lu Tiandu tenderly.

"Haha, the Long family dares to plot against you, so I naturally want to plot against the Long family too!"

Lu Tiandu laughed, "When the time comes, we will go to participate in this Savage Auction!"

Two months later, Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying left Xuanzhen Palace and went to Taixuan Palace in the center of Tianyuan City.

At this moment, the two of them simply changed their appearances and were not afraid of being discovered.

Although this was Lu Tiandu's first time attending the Wilderness Auction held every three years, he was not unfamiliar with it.

At the entrance of Taixuan Hall, people have been handing in their spirit stones, receiving their light-blocking pendants and entering the hall.

Most of these people were cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage or above, with occasionally two or three Void Refinement cultivators joining in.

After Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying paid the spirit stones, they also walked in.

As soon as Fang Yi walked into the passage, a twisting upward passage appeared in front of them, and two small paths branched out from the middle, leading to the two sides of the darkness respectively.

Obviously, the restrictions in the hall had been changed for this auction.

Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying walked directly towards the path on the left without any hesitation.

After a moment, the two figures gradually sank into the darkness and finally disappeared without a trace.

After a meal, Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying were already in an independent dark stone house.

The room was only about ten feet in size, with walls on three sides and a wide open side. There was nothing else in the stone room except a jade table, a bamboo chair, and a red dharma plate on the table.

Such stone houses are densely packed and staggered in the low sky up to a hundred feet high. They are actually flying stone houses.

The entire huge hall is a thousand feet wide, and can easily accommodate nearly a thousand stone houses.

The surfaces of these stone houses were flickering with faint blue runes. Each house was quite far apart, like blue sky lanterns hanging in the low sky, appearing extremely mysterious.

Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying sat under the stone house, looking down at the auction table on the ground in the distance.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, they were instantly teleported here by a strange magic circle set up at the entrance. Lu Tiandu had just tried it out. These flying stone houses can not only float in the air, but also block the prying of divine thoughts. In addition, the light-blocking pendants they wear can cover their bodies, which is enough to ensure the secrecy of the auctioneers.

A quarter of an hour later, hundreds more monks entered the huge hall, and all the stone houses seemed to be occupied.

Suddenly, several melodious bells sounded, and the hall door, which was originally wide open, slowly closed with a muffled creaking sound.

"It looks like the auction is about to begin!"

Lu Tiandu glanced at the dim hall below.

At this moment, several moonstones the size of heads suddenly appeared above the auction table, emitting a faint soft white light, making the surrounding area suddenly extremely clear and eye-catching.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the auction table.

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared out of thin air on a platform more than ten feet in size. Then, a white light flashed, and an old man in a white robe appeared on the platform.

As soon as this man appeared, the monks in the stone house became commotion, and some even called out the old man's name in surprise.

"Master Chi!"

"Why did he appear here! Could it be that this auction..."

……

“This Master Chi is also a weapon refining master like Brother Lu, and is very famous in the Tianyuan Realm. I didn’t expect him to appear in this auction this time!”

Ye Ying looked at the platform below and sent a message to Lu Tiandu.

"Do you think this person is related to the Long family?"

Lu Tiandu looked at the old man below and chuckled.

The old man was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but he had a head full of silver hair, kind brows, and bright eyes, giving him the appearance of a Taoist immortal.

At this time, the old man in white robe coughed lightly and spoke in a gentle voice:

"It seems that I don't need to introduce myself any further, as most of you Daoists know me. Actually, according to my nature, I shouldn't appear in such occasions, but there are a few items in this auction that I was invited to appraise, and I am also very interested in them, so I took the initiative to propose to host this auction. I think you Daoists will not have any objections!"

"Master Chi, you are joking. We are all looking forward to having you, the weapon refining master, personally preside over this auction!"

"Yes, yes! Brother Chi did the appraisal himself, so I think it can't be fake. We can feel more at ease now."
