Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"My husband underestimates me. I have already refined two batches of Fire Deer Pills, making a total of seven pills!"

Shi Ningyu smiled slightly and said, "The remaining flesh and blood essence can be further divided into materials for refining three batches of Fire Deer Pills. With these three materials, I can refine at least ten more Fire Deer Pills!"

The Fire Deer Pill is very difficult to refine, and Shi Ningyu's ability to refine it now is a testament to her talent in alchemy.

However, her alchemy skills were naturally inferior to those of the fifth-grade top-level alchemist found by Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren. If she had asked that fifth-grade top-level alchemist to refine it, this one-tenth of the blood and flesh essence would have been equivalent to at least twenty fifth-grade low-grade Fire Deer Pills.

However, if Shi Ningyu wants to improve her alchemy skills and become a higher-level alchemist, she needs to refine a large number of fifth-grade low-quality pills in order to quickly improve her alchemy skills.

"Although the Fire Deer Pill can improve my cultivation, it cannot improve my understanding of the Dao of Metal. Once I have refined the remaining three Fire Deer Pills, I want to leave Golden Cauldron Mountain to seek opportunities elsewhere!" Shi Ningyu said.

In addition to the increase in magical power, the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator also improves through their understanding of the Great Dao.

Lu Cheng'an was able to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in such a short time by using the antlers of the Flame Horned Fire Deer to enhance the power of his Dao Domain, which allowed him to advance his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"You don't need to rush this matter for now. My cultivation has now broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and my understanding of various Great Daos has also improved. Next, we will practice the Yin-Yang Co-cultivation Pact, which may give you a deeper understanding of the Dao of Metal."

"Afterwards, I will go to the Yin Hua Sect to retrieve the Fire Deer Pill that has already been refined, and then inquire with Master Tianyun about where there is a suitable place to comprehend the Dao of Metal!"

Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the Xuan Chen Realm was far less than that of Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren. These two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators knew far more than he did, and they might know where he could comprehend the power of the Golden Path.

"Then thank you very much for your help, husband!" Shi Ningyu smiled slightly and led Lu Cheng'an into her bedroom.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu are both at the Nascent Soul stage. By using the Yin-Yang Co-cultivation Technique, they can not only rapidly improve their cultivation but also exchange their insights on cultivation, thus gaining great benefits for both of them.

Time passed slowly, and more than three months have gone by in the blink of an eye.

After Lu Cheng'an left Shi Ningyu's cave, his cultivation level improved slightly.

After he left the cave, he noticed the changes in Jinding Mountain and immediately went to Lu Jingkun's cave.

"Jingkun, you have completed the construction of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation!" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

He sensed the powerful array force surging within Jin Ding Mountain. If this array were to be fully activated, even he would have to be careful.

"I was just about to tell Uncle Cheng'an the good news: I have successfully built the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation!"

Lu Jingkun smiled excitedly and said, "I have also gained a lot from successfully building the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array. I feel that I am not far from becoming a mid-grade fifth-order spirit array master!"

"It's a pity that my family has too few records related to high-level spirit array masters. If there were enough records of high-level spirit array masters, I would be able to become a mid-grade fifth-level spirit array master much more smoothly!"

"You don't need to rush to become a mid-grade fifth-tier spirit array master. You haven't been at the Nascent Soul stage for long, and you can't put your cultivation improvement aside."

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly and said, "This is the Fire Deer Pill that your aunt refined some time ago. Taking it will greatly benefit your cultivation. Now you can focus on refining the Fire Deer Pill to improve your cultivation!"

Lu Jingkun had just completed the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation, and exchanging his accumulated family contributions for four Fire Deer Pills was a piece of cake.

"Uncle Cheng'an, don't worry, I definitely won't let my cultivation fall behind!" Lu Jingkun smiled as he took the Fire Deer Pill from Lu Cheng'an's hand, a look of joy on his face.

After handing the Fire Deer Pill to Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an left Jinding Mountain and headed towards Yinhua Sect.

Lu Cheng'an did not use the teleportation array to go to Yin Hua Sect. Although his speed in using the space folding technique was not as fast as the teleportation array, it only consumed a little of his magic power and did not require any resources.

Moreover, using his spatial folding technique to travel to the Yin Hua Sect is much more convenient than using a teleportation array.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an arrived outside the gates of the Yin Hua Sect.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu, on your breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm! You have a bright future on the path to immortality!" Venerable Tianyun immediately offered his congratulations upon seeing Lu Cheng'an.

"Haha, then I appreciate Fellow Daoist Yue's kind words!"

Lu Cheng'an laughed loudly and soon followed Tianyun Shangren into the Yin Hua Sect's mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an and Master Tianyun were already quite familiar with each other. After Master Tianyun led Lu Cheng'an into the Yin Hua Sect's mountain gate, he directly took Lu Cheng'an into his own cave.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is a mid-grade fifth-rank Fire Deer Pill refined from the ten percent of your flesh and blood essence. A total of eleven pills were refined!"

After leading Lu Cheng'an into the cave, Master Tianyun immediately took out the mid-grade fifth-rank Fire Deer Pills.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yue. If it weren't for you and Fellow Daoist Gu, I don't know when I would have been able to refine this Fire Deer Pill!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor!"

Master Tianyun smiled faintly and said, "Even if Fellow Daoist Lu cannot refine it, we will still ask an alchemist to refine the Fire Deer Pill. Fellow Daoist Lu's participation has helped us share some of the refining costs."

Lu Cheng'an contributed one-tenth of his blood and flesh essence to cover one-fifth of the refining costs.

Without Lu Cheng'an, he and the Ten Thousand Corpse Old Ghost would have had to bear one-fifth of the refining cost.

"Now that Fellow Daoist Lu has broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, refining a mid-grade fifth-rank magic weapon should be much easier for him. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu has the time to refine a mid-grade fifth-rank Yin Gathering Pool and a Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag for my Yin Hua Sect?" Venerable Tianyun inquired.

Ever since he learned that Lu Chengan's cultivation had broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he had been thinking about this matter.

At that time, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he certainly had many things to do, so he never asked.

Now that Lu Cheng'an had come to him, he couldn't help but ask, "Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Yue, but I may not have time to help the Yin Hua Sect refine the Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled helplessly and said, "I haven't summoned the sect leaders of the True Water Sect and the Lingjian Sect yet. Next, I plan to meet with the cultivators of these Nascent Soul Sects and, by the way, give our area a name."

"I'll temporarily call that area the Land of Demon Slayers. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Yue?"

"The Land of Demon Slayers!"

"That's a good name indeed, to break through the territory occupied by the demonic path!" Master Tianyun exclaimed.

"Summoning these Nascent Soul sect cultivators won't take long, but after meeting them, I'd like to make a trip to the Netherworld."

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Tianyun Shangren, saying, "When I return from the Netherworld, I will help the Yin Hua Sect refine a mid-grade fifth-order Yin Gathering Pool and a Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag!"

"I have another matter I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist Yue for help with. I'd like to inquire where there are suitable places to comprehend the Golden Dao realm, and how to obtain high-level cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, weapon crafting skills, spirit arrays, and other inheritances?"

Master Tianyun's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood Lu Cheng'an's meaning.

The easiest way to obtain high-level cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, weapon crafting, spirit arrays, and other inheritances is to spend resources to purchase them. However, high-level cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, weapon crafting, spirit arrays, and other inheritances are not cheap, and the quantity that can be obtained by relying solely on this method is very, very small.

“There aren’t many treasure lands for comprehending the Golden Dao. The treasure lands that I know of that are suitable for comprehending the Great Dao are basically occupied by the major powers.”

"For example, in the Corpse Demon Secret Realm jointly controlled by our Yin Hua Sect and the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect, there is a place where waterways converge. Cultivators who have condensed the water attribute Dao Domain can comprehend the power of water here."

This is also an important secret of the Yin Hua Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect. However, since the Heavenly Cloud Venerable and the Ten Thousand Corpse Elder still want to invite Lu Cheng'an to enter the Corpse Demon Secret Realm, it doesn't matter if this important secret is told to Lu Cheng'an now.

"The best way for us cultivators to comprehend the Great Dao is to enter the towns in the outer void. Xuan Chen has built a total of six towns in the outer void, and these six towns suppress six boundary passages. These six boundary passages are also the largest boundary passages in the Xuan Chen Realm."

"Such a large-scale interdimensional passage will attract powerful ancient void beasts, which will attack the interdimensional passage. Once the interdimensional passage is broken, it will have an extremely negative impact on the Xuan Chen Realm."

"Therefore, the super powers and first-class powers in the Central Divine Continent built towns outside these six interdimensional passages to resist the attacks of the Void Ancient Beasts."

“Any cultivator in the Xuan Chen Realm who is at the Refinement Void Realm has a quota to go to these six towns to guard them.”

"If you go to these six towns to defend them, you can receive rewards every year. You can also earn merit points by slaying ancient void beasts. These merit points are worth the same as demon-hunting points."

"Moreover, there are many kinds of ancient Void Beasts, each with its own characteristics. Some ancient Void Beasts themselves contain the power of the Great Dao. Whether we kill them to obtain their corpses or fight with them, we can deepen our understanding of the power of the Great Dao."

“But Fellow Daoist Lu also knows how dangerous the outer void is. There, in addition to dealing with ancient void beasts, one must also worry about being ambushed and having treasures stolen by cultivators within the realm!” Venerable Tianyun said with a serious expression.

Some powerful cultivators will voluntarily enter the six major towns, as these are places where one can grow rapidly.

However, this place is also full of dangers, and a slight mistake could cost you your life.

"As for what Fellow Daoist Lu mentioned about obtaining high-level cultivation techniques, spells, weapon crafting, spirit arrays, and other inheritances, I know two methods: one is to enter the Chaotic Abyss, and the other is to annihilate the demonic forces!"

"The Chaotic Abyss was originally called Qingyun Prefecture. The area of ​​Qingyun Prefecture was similar to that of the current Mengyuan Prefecture, but the spiritual energy of Qingyun Prefecture was extremely rich. Before becoming the Chaotic Abyss, Qingyun Prefecture nurtured a total of three cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm."

"However, Qingyun Prefecture was used as a battlefield between the righteous and demonic paths of the Xuanchen Realm. More than thirty cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm fought here. These thirty-odd Dao Integration Realm cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as many cultivators at the Nascent Soul and other realms, perished here. In the end, Qingyun Prefecture was directly destroyed."

"The reason why Qingyun Prefecture is now called the Chaotic Abyss is because the spiritual and demonic energy here is disordered, and the space is extremely unstable. Many vicious people from both the righteous and demonic paths hide here."

"But the Chaotic Abyss also contains great opportunities. Before the collapse of Qingyun Prefecture, the inheritances of the major sects and the treasures of the cultivators who died in battle, such as those who had reached the Dao Integration, Void Refinement, and Divine Transformation stages, were all scattered in the Chaotic Abyss, attracting many cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths to enter it in search of treasures. However, only a few cultivators actually obtained the treasures."

Master Tianyun sighed softly. He also really wanted to enter the Chaotic Abyss to seek opportunities.

However, he was well aware of his own strength, and that entering the Chaotic Abyss would likely lead to danger.

Lu Cheng'an could try venturing into the Chaotic Abyss, as his own strength is already formidable enough.

Moreover, the supernatural abilities he cultivates are also unpredictable, especially the spatial teleportation ability. As long as he doesn't encounter a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, he will basically be safe from death.

Although the Chaotic Abyss is dangerous, even experts at the Refinement Realm will not easily attack cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Because the difference in strength between the two is too great, a cultivator at the Void Refining Realm would not gain much benefit from killing a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm; it would only be a waste of time.

“When we wiped out the Wang family of Jinding Mountain, we plundered some high-level classic texts from them. However, the Wang family was not particularly powerful, and their rise to power was relatively short-lived, so they did not have many classic texts in their collection.”

"If we destroy the nearby Demon-Attracting Sect, we can plunder a lot of high-level scriptures and inheritances. The Demon-Attracting Sect has a much longer history than the Wang Clan, and they even obtained the relics of a powerful Nascent Soul sect!"

The four super powers of the Central Divine Continent have issued a ban that righteous cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm must immediately destroy any demonic scriptures they obtain.

If one secretly possesses demonic scriptures, there is a possibility that one day one might not be able to resist practicing them and transform into a demonic cultivator.

However, the major forces of the demonic path have never issued such a ban. Demonic cultivators can study the classics of righteous cultivators and learn from each other, thereby improving their cultivation and strength more quickly.

Therefore, the Demon Sect and the Yuanshui Demon Sect, among other demonic forces, contain the classics of high-ranking righteous cultivators.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Yue, for telling me this!" Lu Cheng'an said sincerely.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an left Yin Hua Sect and returned to Jin Ding Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an went directly to Shi Ningyu's cave and told her in detail what he had found out, without hiding anything. (End of this chapter)
