Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The sects of Zhenshui Sect, Lingjian Sect, Shenfu Sect, and Wankui Sect are all located relatively close to Mengyuan Prefecture.

This place is quite far from Jinding Mountain, so they moved the mountain gate here so as not to disturb Jinding Mountain.

Of course, there is another extremely important reason, which is that Jin Ding Mountain is located deep in Qian Yuan Prefecture, and the closer you get to Jin Ding Mountain, the more dangerous it becomes.

The areas that Lu Chengan saw before, such as Minghua Mountain, Dongxu Lake, and Chenyue Mountain, were all located relatively close to Mengyuan Prefecture.

No cultivators have settled in these areas near Jinding Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had not dealt with these areas before, and now these places still have a strong demonic energy, and the demonic veins have not yet been transformed into spiritual veins.

Once Lu Jingkun completes the protective array for Jinding Mountain, Lu Cheng'an plans to have him build purification arrays on the demonic veins that have not yet been transformed into spiritual veins, so as to transform the demonic veins into spiritual veins as soon as possible.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators followed Lu Cheng'an away from the Burial Immortal Land this time, and there were enough people to guard these transformed spiritual veins.

The four sects, Zhenshui Sect, Lingjian Sect, Shenfu Sect, and Wankui Sect, are all quite powerful. Each sect has more than two Nascent Soul cultivators, and at least three Nascent Soul cultivators at the Perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Besides these four sects, there are also some Nascent Soul forces that are slightly weaker.

These people had only recently moved into this area, and they were very curious about Lu Cheng'an and his wife, but also quite worried.

After all, they knew when they entered this area that once their sect was relocated, they would have to rely on Lu Cheng'an and his wife.

If Lu Cheng'an and his wife are easy to get along with, their lives will be easier; if they are difficult to get along with, they will definitely have a lot of trouble.

After reviewing the information gathered by the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect regarding these Nascent Soul forces, Lu Cheng'an has no immediate plans to meet with the cultivators from these Nascent Soul forces.

He had just returned to Jinding Mountain from the Burial Ground of Immortals with Lu Chengzhuo and others. The most important task now was to complete the construction of Jinding Mountain.

Jin Ding Mountain is now practically a barren mountain. If he were to meet with cultivators from the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul factions at this time, he might very well be looked down upon by them.

“The True Water Sect’s Nascent Soul forces are quite powerful. The True Water Sect has a total of thirty-eight Nascent Soul cultivators, five of whom are at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage. Why are they thinking of relocating their sect?” Lu Cheng’an asked.

This was what he didn't understand. He originally thought that those who moved into Qianyuan Prefecture were all rogue cultivators, but after seeing the information collected by the Yinhua Sect and the other two sects, he found that it was not what he had imagined at all.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is probably not very familiar with the situation in the Xuan Chen Realm. Ever since the demonic cultivators appeared in the Xuan Chen Realm, they have been constantly shrinking our living space."

“The True Water Sect, a Nascent Soul power, was not in good condition to begin with, and it was difficult to supply the cultivation needs of so many cultivators.”

"The True Water Sect's current mountain gate is located in the Void Lake, which is rich in spiritual energy and has more than twenty fourth-order spiritual veins. If they carefully cultivate them for another year, they might even be able to nurture fifth-order spiritual veins. The environment is much better than their original mountain gate!"

Xuanxu Daoist and Su Anyi chuckled and explained the reason to Lu Cheng'an with a smile.

After inquiring about the True Water Sect and other Nascent Soul sects, Lu Cheng'an took Su Anyi back to his cave.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please take out your natal magic weapon. Let me see if I can repair it!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Su Anyi's natal magic weapon shouldn't be damaged too badly. Repairing a mid-grade fifth-rank magic weapon is definitely easier than refining one.

After Su Anyi made a hand seal, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and a bluish-gray bell appeared in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please look, this is my natal magic treasure, the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell!"

Lu Cheng'an released a wisp of his primordial spirit power into the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell. He quickly examined the bell and soon discovered the problem with it.

More than a dozen runes inside the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell collapsed, including one main rune, which greatly affected the bell.

If these broken runes cannot be restored, Su Anyi will also damage the Yin Star Soul Suppressing Bell when she activates it.

In addition, a small piece inside the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell was also broken.

Compared to the collapsed runes, this small shattered piece is much harder to restore.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an withdrew the wisp of primordial spirit power that had entered the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell.

"How is Fellow Daoist Lu? Can you repair it?" Su Anyi asked anxiously immediately.

"The problem isn't too big. Repairing the Yin Soul-Suppressing Bell requires three materials: Profound Yin Earth Mother Vine, Ten Thousand Refined Iron, and Sound-Dispelling Stone. The required quantity isn't large. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Su has these three materials? If Fellow Daoist Su has them now, I can start helping Fellow Daoist Su repair his natal magic weapon right now!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The Profound Yin Earth Mother Vine, the Ten Thousand Forged Refined Iron, and the Sound-Swaying Stone are all mid-grade fifth-tier materials. These three materials are not common, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to collect all three.

“I now have the Profound Yin Earth Mother Vine, Ten Thousand Refined Iron, and Sound-Dispelling Stone. I’ll leave the rest to Fellow Daoist Lu!” Su Anyi said with a smile.

He had wanted to repair his natal magic weapon for a long time, so he had prepared the materials for it long ago.

He always carried materials like the Mysterious Yin Earth Mother Vine, Ten Thousand Forged Refined Iron, and Sound-Dispelling Stone with him, just in case he was in a situation like this.

"Fellow Daoist Su, come with me to the weapon-refining room now, and I will repair the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell for you right now!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly and led Su Anyi toward the weapon-refining room.

Although the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell is Su Anyi's natal magic weapon, and its grade is the same as the Netherworld Soul-Slaying Needle, both being mid-grade fifth rank, the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell is easier to refine than the Netherworld Soul-Slaying Needle.

Lu Cheng'an is currently only repairing the damaged parts of the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell, which is even easier.

After receiving the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell, the Profound Yin Earth Mother Vine, the Ten Thousand Forged Refined Iron, and the Sound-Dispelling Stone from Su Anyi, Lu Cheng'an began to work on restoring the damaged parts of the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell.

During this time, Su Anyi watched from the side and did not leave the weapon-refining room.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"The damage to the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell has been completely repaired. Fellow Daoist Su, please check it again to see if there are any problems." After taking the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell out of the refining furnace, Lu Cheng'an handed the repaired Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell directly to Su Anyi.

After receiving his natal magic weapon, Su Anyi quickly inspected it according to Lu Cheng'an's instructions. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the power of his natal magic weapon was even stronger than before it was damaged. A cultivator's magic weapons and artifacts will inevitably suffer some damage during use. Some of these damages are very subtle and difficult to detect without careful inspection.

When Lu Cheng'an helped Su Anyi repair the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell, he not only repaired the obvious damage, but also made some minor repairs.

It was for this reason that Su Anyi felt the power of the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell had increased significantly.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. The Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell works perfectly. I am very satisfied!" Su Anyi said with a smile.

"I'm relieved that Fellow Daoist Su is satisfied!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Su Anyi and laughed loudly, "If Fellow Daoist Su has any needs in terms of weapon crafting, please feel free to ask. I will craft a mid-grade fifth-order magic weapon or magic treasure for Fellow Daoist Su free of charge."

"Fellow Daoist Su, you can think about this seriously now. After all, I am not yet capable of refining overly complex fifth-grade mid-level magic weapons and treasures."

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Su Anyi smiled with pleasure. Finding a mid-grade fifth-level weapon refiner to forge a mid-grade fifth-level magic weapon was no easy task.

Now that Lu Cheng'an has not only helped him repair his natal magic weapon, but also promised to refine a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon for him for free, how could he not be happy?

After the Yin Star Soul-Suppressing Bell was repaired, Su Anyi left Lu Cheng'an's cave.

Afterwards, Su Anyi stayed at Jinding Mountain for another day before bidding farewell to Lu Cheng'an and leaving with Xuanxu Daoren.

Xuanxu Daoist has not left Jinding Mountain yet. The reason he stayed until now is mainly because he wanted to know the result of Lu Chengan's help to Su Anyi repair her natal magic weapon as soon as possible.

After learning that Su Anyi's natal magic weapon had been perfectly repaired, he had even greater confidence in Lu Cheng'an. He felt that Lu Cheng'an would definitely be able to refine the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle soon.

This fifth-grade mid-level magic weapon is extremely powerful. If he had this magic weapon to assist him, his strength would increase by 30%.

After Xuanxu Daoren and Su Anyi left Jinding Mountain, Lu Jingkun immediately found Lu Chengan.

“Uncle Cheng’an, I have already explored the entire Jin Ding Mountain Range. Jin Ding Mountain is 600 li from east to west and 400 li from north to south. There are four fifth-order spiritual veins, 63 fourth-order spiritual veins, 158 third-order spiritual veins, 567 second-order spiritual veins, and 1,300 first-order spiritual veins. There are a total of 78 spiritual peaks.”

"I plan to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation. This formation can reach the fifth-grade top quality, but I can only build the fifth-grade low quality Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation now. The number of spiritual peaks in the mountain range is not enough. I need to move thirty spiritual peaks from outside to make up the total of one hundred and eight."

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation was recorded in a formation manual that Lu Jingkun obtained from the Heavenly Sword Sect. The manual described the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation as being of the highest grade of the fifth rank.

However, Lu Jingkun's current mastery of formations is not yet sufficient; he can only construct a fifth-tier, low-grade Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation.

Moreover, according to the records in that array formation book, the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array can be further improved, and at that time the rank of this array can reach the sixth rank or even higher.

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation has a total of 108 formation nodes. According to Lu Jingkun's plan, the formation nodes where the 36 Heavenly Gangs are located should ideally be supported by fifth-order spiritual veins, while the formation nodes where the 72 Earthly Fiends are located should be supported by fourth-order spiritual veins.

At this point, the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation can reach the fifth-order top grade.

Lu Jingkun is not capable of doing this yet, and the Lu family is unlikely to cultivate so many fifth-order spiritual veins.

Therefore, based on the situation at Jinding Mountain, Lu Jingkun simplified the original formation, and now there are a total of four nodes using fifth-order spiritual veins as nodes.

However, the Lu family still needs to cultivate two more fifth-order spiritual veins.

Because the four fifth-order spiritual veins of Jinding Mountain are only located within two spiritual peaks.

In fact, Lu Jingkun had two choices: either separate those fifth-order spiritual veins from their original spiritual peaks and place them into other spiritual peaks.

However, this will cause some damage to the spiritual vein, and in severe cases, it may even cause the spiritual vein's grade to drop.

Therefore, the best solution is to cultivate two more fifth-order spiritual veins in Jinding Mountain. This will ensure success and enhance the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation.

"Don't worry about the fifth-order spiritual vein. I'll find a solution as soon as possible," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He still has 20 Demon Hunter Points, in addition to a considerable number of Spirit Beads, enough to purchase the Spirit Beads needed to cultivate a fifth-tier Spirit Vein.

"You saw the situation around Jin Ding Mountain when we came here. Those peaks were still covered in demonic energy, and the spiritual veins on the peaks are still demonic veins!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed and said, "I will first find a way to set up a fourth-order purification magic array for you. After the spiritual veins in those areas are purified, you can move those peaks to Jinding Mountain."

“Apart from Qinghe Shangren and a few other cultivators who have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in a short time, all the others are sent out to conduct a survey of the demonic veins that have not been transformed, and at the same time, to explore the mineral deposits in these areas.”

"We don't have a stable income yet, and building the family's main gate requires a lot of resources. We must get everyone involved!"

He still had some resources, but building the family's mountain gate required too many resources, which he couldn't accomplish alone.

“You and your aunt can handle these matters together. I will go to the Yin Hua Sect later to ask them for the method of setting up the purification magic array.”

Lu Cheng'an had previously heard Master Tianyun mention the Purification Magic Array, a formation developed by array masters in the Xuan Chen Realm to neutralize demonic energy.

This type of formation is extremely important to the Xuan Chen Realm. After it was created, it was directly bought out by super powers such as the Xuan Chen Sect, who then distributed it for free.

Although the Yin Hua Sect does not have any fifth-order array masters, they have compiled the construction methods for first to sixth-order purification magic arrays.

After giving instructions to Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an used his spatial folding ability to leave Jin Ding Mountain.

Xuanxu Daoist and Su Anyi had only recently left Jinding Mountain. Lu Cheng'an's spatial folding supernatural power allowed him to travel extremely fast. By the time he arrived at Yinhua Sect, Xuanxu Daoist had not yet returned.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what brings you here now?" Venerable Tianyun asked with a smile.

"I've come to ask the sect leader for help."

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and said, "No cultivators have entered the areas near Jin Ding Mountain yet, and the demonic veins there have not been converted into spiritual veins. My clan has a fifth-rank low-grade array master, so I would like to ask the sect leader for the method of constructing a purification magic array to convert those demonic veins into spiritual veins."
