Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

“Fellow Daoist Zhou will take 40% by himself, and we will each take 30%.”

Master Tianyun smiled faintly and asked, "What does Fellow Daoist Zhou think?"

Zhou Hongyu frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I agree to your proposed distribution method. For Fellow Daoist Lu's sake, I will give you the formula for the Fire Deer Pill for free!"

Zhou Hongyu took out a jade slip and handed it to Lu Chengan.

"Depending on the different materials used in alchemy, the Fire Deer Pill can range in quality from low-grade fifth rank to high-grade fifth rank. The pill formulas recorded in this jade slip include all the formulas from low-grade fifth rank to high-grade fifth rank!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou!" Lu Cheng'an accepted the jade slip and thanked Zhou Hongyu with a smile.

“Take a look at the method for refining the Fire Deer Pill first, and I will come to collect the corpse of the Flame Horned Fire Deer later!” Zhou Hongyu said.

A hint of doubt appeared in Lu Cheng'an's eyes, and then he immediately began to examine the refining method of the Fire Deer Pill.

After he read the method for refining the Fire Deer Pill recorded in the jade slip, he understood why Zhou Hongyu had said that.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi quickly reviewed the refining method of the Fire Deer Pill, then smiled and said to Zhou Hongyu, "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Zhou to do it!"

According to the recipe, the main ingredient for refining the Fire Deer Pill is indeed the corpse of the Flame Horned Fire Deer, but it is not made by directly using the flesh and blood of the Flame Horned Fire Deer. Instead, the essence of the flesh and blood is extracted from the corpse of the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

The recipe for the Fire Deer Pill contains a method for extracting the essence of the flesh and blood from the corpse of the Flaming Horned Fire Deer. Zhou Hongyu has clearly had the recipe for the Fire Deer Pill for a long time, and she has already learned the method for extracting the essence of the flesh and blood.

Lu Cheng'an and his two companions had just seen the recipe for the Fire Deer Pill. With their abilities, they could activate the technique now, but it would cause many unnecessary losses.

After obtaining permission from Lu Cheng'an and the other two, Zhou Hongyu released the seal on the corpse of the Flaming Horned Fire Deer and then began to absorb the essence of flesh and blood from the corpse.

The corpse of the Flamehorn Fire Deer was extremely large, and the amount of blood and flesh essence contained within it was also considerable.

It took Zhou Hongyu almost half an hour to completely extract all the blood and essence from the corpse of the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

Afterwards, Zhou Hongyu divided this flesh and blood essence in two, keeping forty percent and giving the other sixty percent to Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an swiftly divided the 60% of the flesh and blood essence again, giving 20% ​​to Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren respectively.

According to the recipe, this one-tenth of the blood and flesh essence can be used to refine two fifth-grade top-quality Fire Deer Pills.

If you're refining a fifth-grade high-quality Fire Deer Pill, about one-tenth of your blood and flesh essence can make about five Fire Deer Pills.

The lower the grade of the Fire Deer Pill, the less it consumes of blood, flesh, and essence.

The corpse of the Flamehorn Fire Deer, having had all its blood, flesh, and vital essence extracted, became extremely shriveled and utterly worthless.

Zhou Hongyu took out a fire bead from her storage ring and instantly burned the shriveled corpse to ashes.

After Lu Cheng'an and the other three finished dividing up what they had gained from the extraterrestrial void, the atmosphere among them immediately became much more relaxed.

"Does Fellow Daoist Zhou know the origin of that Ghost-Faced Blood Butcher?" the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses inquired.

They were very curious about the origins of Ghost-Faced Blood Butcher, after all, the third brother who attacked them had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

If Lu Cheng hadn't stabilized the masked Blood Butcher in an instant and used his supernatural powers to quickly take them away, their situation would have become extremely dangerous.

"Ghost-faced Blood Butcher is a group of three rogue cultivators active in the passage between the city and the realm. All of them are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. These three people are active in the outer void year-round, and they like to ambush and kill cultivators who are active in the outer void and seize their treasures."

"The methods of Ghost Face Blood Butcher and his two companions are extremely ruthless. If they are targeted, very few people can escape from their clutches."

"This time, their main target was two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lingyue Sect in Fengling Prefecture who were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage; otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to escape."

When Zhou Hongyu mentioned the two Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm from the Lingyue Sect in Fenglin Prefecture, a chilling glint appeared in her eyes.

If those two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lingyue Sect in Fenglin Prefecture hadn't shouted, Ghost-Faced Blood Butcher wouldn't have attacked them.

Her hatred for those two Nascent Soul cultivators from Fenglin Prefecture was even deeper than her hatred for Ghost Face Blood Butcher!
Fenglin Prefecture is a prefecture adjacent to Li Prefecture. Fenglin Prefecture is much smaller in area and not as powerful as Li Prefecture.

Lingyue Sect is the most powerful sect in Fenglin Prefecture, and it has two cultivators at the Refinement Void Realm.

After entering the boundary passage and arriving at Licheng, Lu Cheng'an and the other three did not mention the matter of the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Lingyue Sect being surrounded and killed by Ghost Face Blood Butcher.

If the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Lingyue Sect hadn't deliberately drawn Ghost-Faced Blood Butcher's killing intent onto them, they might have kindly reported it to the cultivator guarding Li Town, but that's absolutely impossible now.

After learning about Ghost Face Blood Butcher's situation, Lu Cheng'an and his two companions gained a deeper understanding of the dangers of the outer void.

"What are your plans for the three of you next?" Zhou Hongyu asked with a smile after explaining the situation of Ghost-Faced Blood Butcher.

"We are not cultivators from Lizhou. We came to Lingxu City mainly to participate in the Myriad Treasures Conference. Now that the conference is over, we must return!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled at Zhou Hongyu and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, we'll take our leave now. Hope we meet again someday!"

Lu Cheng'an and the other two had no intention of returning to Lingxu City. They didn't have many spirit pearls left, and if they entered Lingxu City again, they might not even have enough spirit pearls left to return via the teleportation array.

After Lu Cheng'an and the other two parted ways with Zhou Hongyu, they sped towards a celestial city quite far from Lingxu City. They could use the teleportation array in this celestial city as a transit point to return to Mengyuan Prefecture as soon as possible.

Lu Cheng'an and the other two were all Nascent Soul cultivators. They might not be considered powerful in the outer void, but within the Xuan Chen Realm, they were still considered high-level cultivators and were basically safe from danger.

After traveling through several immortal cities, they successfully returned to Cloud Sea Immortal City via a teleportation array.

They did not stay in Yunhai Immortal City, but left directly from Yunhai Immortal City and sped back to Mengyuan Prefecture.

The three prefectures of Yunhai Prefecture are not very large, so even if Lu Cheng'an and his two companions do not use the teleportation array, it will not take them long to return from Yunhai Prefecture to Mengyuan Prefecture.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, can you find an alchemist who can refine the Fire Deer Pill?" Master Tianyun asked.

Lu Cheng'an and the other two are currently at the Yin Hua Sect. Instead of returning to their respective homes, they are discussing the refining of the Fire Deer Pill together. The Fire Deer Pill is a pill specifically designed to enhance the cultivation level of Nascent Soul cultivators. The refining of this pill is extremely difficult, and even with a fifth-level alchemist in the Lu family, it is not certain that they will be able to successfully refine the Fire Deer Pill.

Both the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect have trained fifth-level alchemists, but their fifth-level alchemists can only refine low-grade fifth-level pills.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren are both at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and they would need at least a fifth-grade high-quality Fire Deer Pill.

"My Daoist partner is a fifth-grade low-level alchemist, but she may not be able to refine the Fire Deer Pill!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and said, "If you two have a way, I would like to trouble you to help me refine the Fire Deer Pill as well. I will transfer the refining fee to you two when the time comes!"

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lu, leave this matter to the two of us. We will inform you immediately if we have any news," said Venerable Tianyun with a smile.

Over the years since Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren became Nascent Soul cultivators, they have known alchemists who can refine fifth-grade high-quality pills.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we have now collected some materials for refining the fifth-grade mid-level Yin Gathering Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner. When would you like to help with the refining?" the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses asked with a smile.

Their main purpose in going to Lingxu City was to purchase materials for refining three magical treasures, including the Yin Gathering Pool.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an has also helped people refine several mid-grade fifth-tier magic treasures in Lingxu City, so he is now quite confident that he can help them refine the three magic treasures: the Gathering Yin Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

"I haven't finished refining the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle that I promised to help Fellow Daoist Xuanxu, and I will be going into seclusion for a while longer."

Lu Cheng'an smiled helplessly and said, "Please don't worry, fellow Daoists. I will inform you when I have time."

The Netherworld Slaughtering Needle is a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon. The reason Lu Cheng'an was so attached to this magic weapon was because he was also quite interested in it.

Moreover, he has no plans to refine magic weapons for the time being. After returning to Jinding Mountain, he plans to devote himself to seclusion and cultivation, integrating the antlers of the Flame Horned Deer into his Dao Domain.

Zhou Hongyu was not lying to her; the Lu family of the Flame Horn Fire Deer could indeed enhance the power of the fire attribute Dao Domain.

The Flamehorn Deer they killed was at the fifth-order perfect level, and its cultivation was much higher than his.

If he were to completely integrate the antlers of the Flame Horned Deer into his Dao Domain, the power of his Dao Domain would be greatly enhanced, possibly even expanding to a thousand feet.

At that time, his cultivation level will also be able to improve rapidly with the expansion of the Dao Domain, and there is a considerable possibility that he can directly break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

It was for this reason that he agreed to let Master Tianyun and the other person help him refine the Fire Deer Pill.

He believed that with Shi Ningyu's talent, as long as she spent some time studying, she could definitely refine a low-grade fifth-rank Fire Deer Pill, but it would be impossible for her to refine a mid-grade fifth-rank Fire Deer Pill.

"Then we'll wait for Fellow Daoist Lu's news!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

They were slightly disappointed by Lu Cheng'an's answer, but they didn't want to press him.

After Lu Cheng'an and Master Tianyun made their agreement, they left Yin Hua Sect and rushed back to Jin Ding Mountain.

After Lu Cheng'an left, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses did not leave the Yin Hua Sect. He and Tianyun Shangren discussed the matter of opening the Corpse Demon Secret Realm again.

"We gained a lot in Lingxu City this time, but we have also almost exhausted the foundation we have accumulated over the years. We have a good relationship with Lu Cheng'an, and we can ask him to help us refine the fifth-grade low-level Yin Gathering Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag. In the future, there will definitely be new Nascent Soul cultivators."

"However, this will definitely increase the consumption of resources significantly."

The old man of ten thousand corpses frowned deeply and continued, "The Corpse Demon Secret Realm has not been opened for many years, and it must have nurtured a large amount of resources. If our two sects can make use of these resources, our strength will definitely be greatly improved."

"I know everything you're saying, but we have to consider the dangers of the Corpse Demon Realm!"

Master Tianyun sighed softly and said, "I think Lu Cheng'an will definitely make a breakthrough when he goes back to seclusion this time. There is a good chance that he will break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"He already possesses such formidable strength at the early Nascent Soul stage; if he successfully breaks through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, his strength will undoubtedly increase significantly. At that time, inviting him to join us in the Corpse Demon Secret Realm will greatly reduce the danger!"

Since they sought Lu Cheng'an to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and other magical treasures, they had already revealed the secrets of their two sects to Lu Cheng'an.

Even though the Corpse Demon Realm is related to the more core secrets of their two sects, they are not worried about Lu Cheng'an finding out.

"Then we'll do as you say and see how Lu Cheng'an fares after this seclusion. If his cultivation successfully breaks through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, we'll invite him into the Corpse Demon Secret Realm to open the sealed Corpse Demon Secret Realm!"

“We’ll go together to find the old Taoist Baicao and ask him to help us refine the Fire Deer Pill!” said the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses.

Baicao Laodao was originally a rogue cultivator. His cultivation level was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and he had a long-standing friendship with Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren.

Bai Cao Lao Dao is a fifth-tier top-grade alchemist, but he can only refine three relatively simple fifth-tier top-grade pills.

The two, Tianyun Shangren and Baicao Laodao, were asked to refine a fifth-grade, high-quality Fire Deer Pill. This grade of Fire Deer Pill is extremely difficult to refine, and Baicao Laodao estimated that it would take a very long time to refine it.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of the conversation between Tianyun Shangren and Lu Cheng'an after he left. After leaving the Yin Hua Sect's mountain gate, he immediately used his spatial folding technique and quickly returned to Jin Ding Mountain.

"Uncle Cheng'an, you're finally back! Have you managed to acquire the materials to refine the fifth-tier spirit vein bead and construct the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array?"

Lu Cheng'an had just returned to Jin Ding Mountain when he was stopped by Lu Jingkun.

During the years Lu Cheng'an was away, Lu Jingkun was never idle; he was constantly preparing to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation.

He has now moved 108 spiritual peaks within Jinding Mountain. As long as Lu Cheng'an gathers enough materials to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, he can begin constructing this grand array.

"These are two fifth-tier spirit vein beads, which can be used to cultivate two more fifth-tier spirit veins in Golden Cauldron Mountain!"

"These are the materials I purchased to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array. I have collected all the Heavenly Gang Dust Qi, but I am still lacking some Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk."

Lu Cheng'an obtained the Heavenly Gang Dust Qi from Zhou Hongyu, which was the condition for him to agree to go with Zhou Hongyu to hunt Flame Horn Fire Deer in the outer void.

Zhou Hongyu also told him about the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk, but he did not go. (End of Chapter)
