Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

When Tianyun Shangren and the other three heard Lu Cheng'an instruct them to kill as many fifth-tier Flying Horned Pythons as possible, they immediately understood Lu Cheng'an's meaning.

When Shi Ningyu mentioned the Heavenly Python Pill, Tianyun Shangren and the others all heard it.

Lu Cheng'an is now letting them kill the Flying Horned Pythons without restraint, clearly in order to refine the Heavenly Python Pill.

"We believe that Fellow Daoist Lu will do his utmost to kill the fifth-tier Flying Horned Python!" Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time.

When Lu Cheng'an suppressed those demon cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, they had already witnessed Lu Cheng'an's current strength.

Although the sixth-tier low-grade flying horned python was extremely terrifying, since Lu Cheng'an was confident that he could lead them away, they believed that Lu Cheng'an had that ability.

"Get ready, we're about to enter the marshland ahead!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled at Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren, and took the lead into the swamp.

Shi Ningyu and the other three followed closely behind, each using their abilities to conceal their presence and avoid being discovered by the flying horned pythons in the swamp.

Although Lu Cheng'an said he would target the fifth-tier Flying Horned Pythons, he did not mean he would attack them as soon as he entered the swamp.

This vast expanse of water stretches for tens of thousands of miles; the sooner they are exposed, the more dangerous their situation will be.

The spiritual energy is relatively thin at the edge of the marsh. Although a large number of flying horned pythons live here, they are all relatively weak.

Lu Cheng'an and his group of five even detected the presence of quite a few first and second-tier flying horned pythons. These flying horned pythons were of low strength and naturally could not sense the presence of Lu Cheng'an and his group.

"Be careful, the spiritual energy ahead is getting denser. There's more than one fifth-order spiritual vein there, and there must be a fifth-order flying horned python coiled within it!"

Lu Cheng'an secretly sent a telepathic message to Shi Ningyu and the other three, reminding them that his detection range was much larger than theirs, which helped them avoid a lot of danger.

They have now ventured tens of thousands of miles into the marshes inhabited by the flying horned python, approaching the central area of ​​the marshes.

At this time, the spiritual energy of the swamp became increasingly dense, but this was the first time they had encountered a fifth-order spiritual vein.

Although there are quite a few flying horned pythons living in the marsh, the ones Lu Cheng'an and his group of five had seen before were all below the fifth rank.

If a fifth-order spiritual vein appears ahead, then there is a high probability that a fifth-order Flying Horned Python exists there.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's reminder, Shi Ningyu and the other three tried even harder to conceal their auras to avoid being discovered by the fifth-tier flying horned pythons.

They haven't reached the central area of ​​the swamp yet. If they are discovered by the Flying Horned Python here, it will greatly increase the difficulty of their escape from the swamp.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and his group of five appeared above the waters containing the fifth-order spiritual veins, where they also discovered the fifth-order Flying Horned Python.

There is more than one fifth-order flying horned python living here. The strongest one that Lu Cheng'an investigated was at the late fifth-order level.

Clearly, the spiritual energy in this body of water is not dense enough to attract a Flying Horned Python at the fifth-order perfect realm.

Lu Cheng'an led Shi Ningyu and the other three through the air above the water without being detected by the fifth-tier flying horned python below.

After leaving that body of water, the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area decreased again.

Clearly, the number of fifth-order spiritual veins in this swamp is also limited, and those fifth-order flying horned pythons all live in waters where fifth-order spiritual veins exist.

That sixth-tier low-grade flying horned python must live in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire swamp, a place where a sixth-tier spiritual vein exists.

If they can avoid this area, they might be able to avoid being discovered by that sixth-tier flying horned python.

After traveling nearly 10,000 miles with Shi Ningyu and the other three, Lu Cheng'an finally entered the central area of ​​the marshland. They had also encountered two more bodies of water with fifth-order spiritual veins.

Each fifth-order spiritual vein contains fifth-order flying horned pythons in its waters, but none of them are at the fifth-order perfect realm.

"We have now entered the central area of ​​the swamp, which is also the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire swamp. Be careful, and make sure you do not reveal your whereabouts here!"

After Lu Cheng'an transmitted his voice to Shi Ningyu and the other three, he carefully led them towards the depths of the marshland.

The number of fifth-order spiritual veins in this body of water began to increase rapidly, and Lu Cheng'an carefully sensed the changes in spiritual energy ahead.

If the concentration of spiritual energy ahead increases too much, he will lead Shi Ningyu and the other three to change direction and try to avoid that area.

This is because Lu Cheng'an is worried that the spiritual energy in the water ahead will become increasingly concentrated, and they might rashly enter the waters where the sixth-order flying horned python lives.

Lu Cheng'an was cautious enough, and they were also quite lucky. After entering the central area of ​​the marshland and traveling another 30,000 miles, the concentration of spiritual energy in the water gradually decreased, which meant that they had left the central area of ​​the marshland.

They were still 60,000 to 70,000 li away from leaving the marshland. As long as they continued to be careful, they would not be discovered by the flying horned pythons in the marshland.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, should we still attack the Flying Horned Python in the swamp?" Venerable Tianyun secretly transmitted his voice.

They have now left the most dangerous part of the swamp, and as long as they are careful enough, they will be able to avoid the flying horned pythons in the swamp.

However, Lu Cheng'an still wanted to hunt down the fifth-tier Flying Horned Python in the swamp to refine the Heavenly Python Pill, which would require them to take the initiative to attack the Flying Horned Python, thus putting them in a dangerous situation.

"Let's leave from here first. Hunting the Flying Horned Python isn't urgent for now. We'll pass through this area again on our way back, and we can hunt it down then!"

Lu Cheng'an did not choose to take the initiative to attack those flying horned pythons. The remaining 50,000 to 60,000 miles of journey went very smoothly for them, and their whereabouts were not discovered by the flying horned pythons in the marshes.

After passing through the marshland where the Flying Horned Python lived, Lu Cheng'an and his group of five were still about two million li away from the Golden Yuan Forest.

There are no particularly dangerous places in this area, and because it is close to the Golden Yuan Forest, even the number of Void Ancient Beasts that appear is relatively small.

The Golden Forest is extremely vast, and it contains a large number of high-grade metal-attribute spirit trees and high-grade metal-attribute spirit herbs.

This place is also home to a large number of powerful metal-type Void Beasts, such as the Golden-Winged Crane Eagle, the Earth-Drilling Dragon, and the Gold-Splitting Explosive Wolf.

The Golden Yuan Forest is extremely vast, and deep within it live sixth and seventh-tier Void Ancient Beasts.

The materials needed to forge the Golden Spear Ship are all below the sixth rank. Fifth-rank spirit woods such as Ironwood live in the outer areas of the Golden Essence Forest. Although Ironwood is a relatively rare material in the Profound Dust Realm, it is quite common in the Golden Essence Forest.

This is because the environment of the Golden Forest is quite special, making it very suitable for the growth of metal-elemental spirit trees.

Lu Cheng'an is currently lacking several hundred fifth-tier metal-attribute spirit trees, most of which can be found in the Golden Origin Forest.

However, cutting down hundreds of metallic spirit trees in the Golden Forest is not an easy task.

Because the commotion caused by felling fifth-order spirit trees is not small, and there are quite a few ancient void beasts living in the Golden Origin Forest, it is very likely that the felling of fifth-order spirit trees will attract the surrounding ancient void beasts.

"We are about to enter the Golden Yuan Forest. The Golden Yuan Forest is home to a large number of ancient void beasts. We must remain vigilant even after we enter!"

"The Golden Yuan Forest is too vast. After we enter it, we will split up to find the materials needed to build the Golden Spear Magic Ship, but we should not go too far apart. Once we find them, we should send a message immediately."

"Jingkun, double-check the equipment used to set up the concealment array. Make sure there are no problems!" Lu Cheng'an instructed in a deep voice.

The Golden Forest has a great variety of trees, but not all of them are suitable for building the Golden Spear Ship, so they need to spend time searching for them.

The Golden Forest is extremely vast, and if the five of them travel together, it will take a lot of time.

Although splitting up the search would carry certain risks, Lu Cheng'an decided to do so after careful consideration.

After making the arrangements, Lu Chengan and his team entered the Golden Yuan Forest.

At this moment, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards them, along with a faint golden energy surging in the air.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and his four companions dispersed to search for the materials needed to build the Golden Spear Dharma Ship.

The senior cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect did obtain a fifth-grade top-quality Ironwood in the Golden Origin Forest, but the location where they obtained the Ironwood, as recorded by the senior cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect, was indeed within the Golden Origin Forest.

As for the specific location of those ironwood trees in the Golden Origin Forest, the senior cultivator from the Yin Hua Sect did not provide any information.

Three of Lu Cheng'an's five companions were cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, and the other two were at the late Nascent Soul stage. The area they explored was not small.

The five of them split up and searched, and they did so very quickly.

Two hours after entering the Golden Origin Forest, Lu Cheng'an and his group of five found a type of spiritual wood needed to forge the Golden Spear Magic Ship.

It is a fifth-grade superior spiritual wood called Golden Liquid Pine. Pine Gold Liquid can be extracted from the branches and trunks of the Golden Liquid Pine. The main purpose of the pine gold liquid is to be used to inlay various materials.

Golden Liquid Pine is rare in the Xuan Chen Realm. The Lu family searched for a long time but still couldn't find a single Golden Liquid Pine that met their requirements.

Shi Ningyu was the first to discover the Golden Liquid Pine in the Golden Yuan Forest. She was very lucky. Although the Golden Liquid Pine she discovered was not a continuous stretch, there were still six Golden Liquid Pine trees growing in that area.

These six Golden Liquid Pines are of different grades; two of them are of the fifth grade, upper grade, while the remaining four are of the fifth grade, middle grade.

The Golden Liquid Pines growing in the Golden Yuan Forest are much taller than those recorded in the ancient books. Lu Cheng'an believes that these six Golden Liquid Pines can be used to extract the Pine Gold Liquid needed to forge the Golden Spear Dharma Ship.

"Jingkun, you set up the concealment array in advance. You don't need to worry about the golden-headed tiger spiders that are entrenched on the Golden Liquid Pine. Just leave them to us!" Lu Chengan said.

After discovering the Golden Liquid Pine, Shi Ningyu immediately sent a message to Lu Cheng'an and the other three.

This was something Lu Cheng'an had agreed upon before entering the Golden Yuan Forest: if anyone discovered the materials for the Golden Spear Dharma Ship, they should do nothing and wait until they regrouped before taking action together.

Although Lu Cheng'an said they would search separately, they were not far apart from each other.

Not long after Shi Ningyu spread the news, Lu Cheng'an and the other three gathered around her.

Five fifth-tier Golden-Headed Tiger Spiders dwell on these six Golden Liquid Pines. The Golden-Headed Tiger Spiders live by sucking the sap from the leaves of the Golden Liquid Pines, and at the same time, they also generate a power from their bodies to nourish the Golden Liquid Pines. The two are interdependent.

The five golden-headed tiger spiders were all of the fifth rank, with two of them having reached the late stage of the fifth rank and the remaining three only at the middle stage of the fifth rank.

The golden-headed tiger spiders are not particularly strong and pose no threat to Lu Cheng'an and his group of five.

"Uncle Cheng'an, rest assured, I will set up the concealment array as soon as possible to ensure that it will not alert the surrounding ancient void beasts!"

After quickly surveying the area around the Golden Liquid Pine, Lu Jingkun took out array flags and array plates from his storage artifact.

These are all used to set up a concealment array. This concealment array is of the fifth-order top quality and can isolate the spying of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Before deciding to go to the Golden Origin Forest, Lu Cheng'an made thorough preparations. This fifth-grade top-quality concealment array was designed to prevent them from disturbing the ancient void beasts living around the spirit trees when they were cutting them down.

Lu Jingkun is a fifth-tier top-grade spirit array master. His cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so he can set up fifth-tier top-grade arrays very quickly.

Half an hour later, the fifth-grade top-quality concealment array took shape around the six golden liquid pines.

As Lu Jingkun activated the fifth-grade top-quality concealment array, the environment around the six Golden Liquid Pines underwent subtle changes.

If cultivators were to pass by this place, they would only see the six Golden Liquid Pines, but they would not be able to detect the presence of Lu Cheng'an and his companions, as well as the fifth-order Golden-Headed Tiger Spiders.

This is because the golden pine they saw was actually a manifestation of an array set up by Lu Jingkun; the true situation was hidden within the array.

"Uncle Cheng'an, you can make your move now!"

After Lu Jingkun conveyed the message that the concealment array had been set up, Lu Cheng'an and the other three immediately took action and launched an attack on the five golden-headed tiger spiders.

The five golden-headed tiger spiders were only at the late stage of the fifth rank, while three of Lu Cheng'an's four companions had reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

Although the five golden-headed tiger spiders had a numerical advantage, they were immediately outmatched by Lu Cheng'an and his group of four.

In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Lu Cheng'an directly used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal on two of the Golden-Headed Tiger Spiders.

Influenced by these two supernatural powers, the two late-stage fifth-tier golden-headed tiger spiders instantly lost control of their bodies and were killed by Lu Cheng'an in the blink of an eye. (End of Chapter)
