Chapter 99 Zhang Family Cultivators (Please Subscribe!)
The jade mirror is a high-level defensive magic artifact, but some of its internal runes are sealed, so it can only exert the power of a first-grade high-level defensive magic artifact at present.

Even so, the jade-like light emitted by the jade mirror still possessed extremely strong defensive power.

The power of the group spell Frost Star Storm released by the Silverwing Frost Butterfly did not cause any damage to Shi Ningyu.

After Shi Ningyu brought out the jade mirror, she then brought out the snow-white magic sword.

A crisp sword sound emanated from the blade, and under Shi Ningyu's control, it instantly pierced into the center of the Silverwing Frost Butterfly swarm.

A streak of snow-white sword light shot out, instantly shattering the swarm of silver-winged butterflies that were pierced by the sword light.

Xu Shao and the others were all quite strong. The group spell attack of the Silverwing Frost Butterfly did not harm them. Instead, it made their attacks even more fierce.

Lu Cheng'an had been using the Fire Serpent Technique to attack, and he had not shown his full strength. However, even relying solely on the Fire Serpent Technique, the number of Silverwing Frost Butterflies he had killed would rank him among the top three.

A quarter of an hour later, all the Silverwing Frost Butterflies that flew out of Silver Spring Valley were lost to Lu Cheng'an and his group.

As Shi Ningyu said, although the number of these Silverwing Frost Butterflies is large, none of them have given birth to a second-tier Silverwing Frost Butterfly King, so they will not pose a threat to them.

However, the cold poison nurtured within these Silverwing Frost Butterflies is omnipresent, especially when they die, at which point they release all of it.

Lu Cheng'an and the others fought with these Silverwing Frost Butterflies for a quarter of an hour, and their bodies were more or less invaded by the cold poison.

They had already taken antidotes beforehand, so the cold poison did not pose a threat to Lu Cheng'an and the others.

In particular, Lu Cheng'an possesses a fire-elemental spirit body, making him most resistant to this cold poison.

After ingesting the cold poison, he instantly neutralized it.

"There aren't many Silverwing Frost Butterflies left in Silver Spring Valley. Clean up the remaining Silverwing Frost Butterflies, and then quickly harvest the Crimson Dew Essence Grass!"

After confirming that there were no problems with Lu Cheng'an and the others, Shi Ningyu took the lead and entered Silver Spring Valley.

Attracted by the fragrance of Hundred Dews, only a few Silverwing Frost Butterflies remain in Silver Spring Valley.

These silver-winged butterflies did not cause any trouble for Lu Cheng'an and his group, but they were all destroyed by them in a short time.

There were a great many Crimson Dew Grasses growing in Silver Spring Valley. Even though Lu Cheng'an and the others had tried their best to harvest them, it still took them more than a day to pick all the mature Crimson Dew Grasses.

Lu Cheng'an also contributed to the harvesting of these Crimson Dew Grasses, and once he successfully leaves the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, he will also be able to share some of the Crimson Dew Grasses.

After Lu Cheng'an and the others had thoroughly looted Silver Spring Valley, Shi Ningyu did not delay at all and immediately led Lu Cheng'an to the next treasure land marked on the map.

Time flew by, and six days passed in the blink of an eye. At this point, there were only two days left until the ten-day reunion time that Jin Yufan had mentioned.

In the past few days, Shi Ningyu has led Lu Chengan and others to search the northern region under the control of the Dan Ding Sect. The total value of the treasures they have obtained has exceeded 80,000 spirit stones.

They have now left the northern region and entered the southern region, which is jointly controlled by the three factions.

At this moment, Shi Ningyu, Xu Shao, and other Dan Ding Sect cultivators all showed conflicted expressions.

"Junior Sister Shi, you should decide this matter. Whatever you decide, we will support you!" Xu Shao said in a deep voice.

"Then let's join forces and give it our all to kill that purple-eyed raccoon!"

A fierce glint appeared in Shi Ningyu's eyes. A moment later, her gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and she said with a smile, "Next, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to do his best. If you help my Dan Ding Sect obtain that Seven-Cornered Flower, I can guarantee to give you a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

The seven-pointed flower is a second-grade mid-level spiritual herb, and it is the main ingredient for refining the Seven-Pointed Three-Star Pill.

The Seven-Cornered Three-Star Pill is a pill that helps mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators break through to the next realm. The Pill Cauldron Sect currently has two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Wu Qing'an and Jiang Ying are both on the verge of breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If they could obtain the Seven-Cornered Three-Star Pill to help them, their chances of breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment would be much greater.

That second-grade high-quality Earth Origin Grass has been refined by the Dan Ding Sect into a pill to assist late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in breaking through to the next realm.

The reason why Shi Mingxin, the sect leader of Dan Ding Sect, did not appear this time is because he is currently breaking through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm within the sect.

The Dan Ding Sect concealed this news, and the prevailing message was that the sect leader was still searching for an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection realm.

If Shi Mingxin's cultivation successfully breaks through to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and Jiang Ying and Wu Qing'an's cultivation breaks through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, then the strength of Dan Ding Sect will be greatly enhanced, and it will be able to surpass the Secret Pill Zhang Clan in one fell swoop!

However, the place where the seven-pointed flower grows is guarded by a purple-eyed raccoon, a second-tier early-stage demon beast.

Although Shi Ningyu and the others' cultivation levels far surpassed those of cultivators at the same level, there was still a significant gap in strength when facing a second-tier early-stage demon beast.

If they go all out, they still have a good chance of killing the Purple-Eyed Tanuki without using second-tier runes, but they may have to pay the price of serious injury.

The time to seize the Spirit Essence Replenishing Herb is fast approaching. If they are seriously injured now, they will be at a great disadvantage when trying to obtain it.

It was precisely for this reason that Shi Ningyu and other cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect hesitated to make a decision.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Shi, I will do my utmost to help you harvest the Spirit Essence Nourishing Herb!" Lu Cheng'an assured him in a deep voice.

Liu Muyuan and Song Qingzhi's gazes involuntarily fell on Lu Cheng'an, as they had witnessed his formidable strength during this period.

Now that Junior Sister is showing such high regard for Lu Cheng'an, could it be that Lu Cheng'an is hiding his true strength?

This conjecture struck Liu Muyuan and Song Qingzhi as somewhat outrageous, and at the same time, it was difficult for them to accept.

"Since we've decided to pick the seven-pointed flowers, let's not waste any more time and get started!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Liu, and I will do our best to entangle that purple-eyed raccoon. Senior Sister Song and Senior Brother Lin, you two seize the opportunity to pick the seven-pointed flowers!"

After making the arrangements, Shi Ningyu used the Breath Concealment Technique to try her best to conceal her aura and quickly approached the second-tier purple-eyed raccoon.

Lu Cheng'an and the other two followed closely behind Shi Ningyu. Although they were trying their best to conceal their aura, they were still a whole realm below the Purple-Eyed Civet. When they were still a dozen feet away from the Purple-Eyed Civet, they were detected by it.

With a meow, the purple-eyed raccoon cat, the size of a leopard, leaped up and attacked Shi Ningyu with lightning speed.

A solemn expression appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. She quickly cast a spell and immediately used the Jade Soul Technique to meet the purple-eyed raccoon's attack.

The jade-white light, which was invincible at the Qi Refining stage, did not cause much damage to the purple-eyed raccoon, merely blocking its movement for a moment. This time, Lu Cheng'an did not hold back. He directly summoned the Fire Fiend Sword and used the Starfire Sword Technique to control the Fire Fiend Sword to attack the purple-eyed raccoon.

Flames surged across the blade of the Fire Fiend Sword, leaving a dazzling trail of fire as it pierced towards the soft belly of the purple-eyed raccoon.

Lu Cheng'an unleashed his full power this time. The terrifying force contained within the Fire Fiend Sword posed a certain threat even to the Purple-Eyed Civet, a second-stage early-stage demonic beast.

After sensing the power contained within the Fire Fiend Sword, the Purple-Eyed Civet let out an angry roar. It did not stop attacking Shi Ningyu, but instead shot a purple beam of light from its pupils and attacked Lu Cheng'an at the same time.

The purple streak of light moved extremely fast, appearing less than ten feet away from Lu Cheng'an in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cheng'an remained calm and activated the power of the Fire Shadow Technique and the Cloud-Stepping Boots simultaneously, almost achieving the level of teleportation. After leaving an afterimage in place, he avoided the attack of the purple light.

Xu Shao and the others no longer had the energy to be amazed by Lu Cheng'an's extreme speed, and they also attacked the purple-eyed raccoon at the same time.

The purple light was controlled by the purple-eyed raccoon. Although Lu Cheng'an avoided the sudden attack of the purple light, he could not block it.

Lu Cheng'an's body was erratic. At this moment, he pushed the power of the Fire Armor Technique and the Cloud Fire Robe to the limit, and at the same time used the Fire Void Finger to meet the attack of the purple light.

With a loud bang, the Fire Void Finger Seal exploded instantly, but this attack also diminished a lot of the power of the purple light.

After sensing the change in the purple light, Lu Cheng'an felt a slight sense of relief. He then used the Fire Void Finger technique to dissipate the power of the purple light.

"Friend Lu Dao!"

Shi Ningyu shouted, and then she quickly condensed a spell seal and threw it at the purple-eyed raccoon.

This incantation seal is called the Jade God Seal, and it is a method to bind the enemy.

Even though the Purple-Eyed Raccoon is a second-tier early-stage demon beast, it will lose its ability to move in an instant once it is hit by the Jade God Seal.

Lu Cheng'an reacted extremely quickly. Instead of resisting the purple light that had lost most of its power, he activated the Fire Fiend Sword and swiftly stabbed it towards the abdomen of the purple-eyed raccoon.

With a soft "plop" sound, the Fire Fiend Sword pierced directly into the body of the Purple-Eyed Tanuki.

At this moment, the purple-eyed raccoon let out a shrill cry. The sound had a strong penetrating power, and for a moment Xu Shao and the others felt dizzy.

Lu Cheng'an's spiritual power was strong enough that the purple-eyed raccoon's voice had little impact on his soul.

However, the Fire Fiend Sword was forced out by a tremendous force from within the Purple-Eyed Tanuki. The crimson sword was stained with blood, and after enduring the terrifying power emanating from the Purple-Eyed Tanuki, numerous cracks appeared on its blade.

The Fire Fiend Sword bears the imprint of Lu Cheng'an's divine consciousness. With the sword so damaged, Lu Cheng'an was immediately affected as well.

Just then, a white, almost transparent dotted line wrapped around the purple-eyed raccoon's neck and instantly cut into its flesh.

However, the dotted line lacked sufficient power and failed to sever the purple-eyed raccoon's head.

This dotted line was created by Shi Ningyu. This magical artifact is similar to the Shadow Sword that Lu Chengan recently crafted; both are magical artifacts that excel at surprise attacks.

Although Shi Ningyu's sneak attack failed to sever the purple-eyed raccoon's head, it aggravated its injuries and made it even more frenzied.

Two beams of blood-red light shot out from the purple-eyed raccoon's pupils, each beam containing terrifying power, and flew towards Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu respectively.

Without any hesitation, Shi Ningyu instantly summoned a second-tier low-grade defensive talisman.

Lu Cheng'an also carried a second-tier low-grade defensive talisman, but he did not use it. Instead, he summoned the second-tier low-grade defensive magic weapon, the Mountain and Water Cloth.

Now that his cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will still suffer backlash when activating the Mountain and Water Cloth, but the backlash will not be too severe.

He didn't have many second-tier defensive talismans on him, and he would definitely encounter even greater dangers when he went to harvest the Spirit Essence Replenishing Mushroom.

That's why he's now using the Mountain and Water Cloth to defend against the Purple-Eyed Raccoon's attack.

After the purple-eyed raccoon released its last two blood-red purple beams of light, its aura immediately weakened.

Lin Tao and Song Qingzhi dared not delay for a moment and immediately rushed towards the place where the seven-pointed flower grew.

"A mid-grade second-tier seven-pointed flower, your Dan Ding Sect is quite lucky, but this seven-pointed flower is now mine!"

When Lin Tao and Song Qingzhi were still several feet away from the seven-pointed flower, they suddenly felt several strong winds coming from behind them, which forced them to stop their steps toward the flower.

"Zhang Yuanqing, you're asking for death!"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Shi Ningyu's eyes. She summoned her snow-white magic sword and instantly attacked Zhang Yuanqing.

Upon seeing Zhang Yuanqing and the others arrive, the severely injured purple-eyed raccoon immediately sped away into the distance, having no strength left to seek revenge on Lu Chengan and the others.

"Shi Ningyu, thank you for the seven-pointed flower from your Dan Ding Sect!" Zhang Yuanqing let out a hearty laugh and immediately met Shi Ningyu's attack.

The Zhang family cultivators were very close to the seven-pointed flower, and they also managed to entangle Lin Tao and Song Qingzhi, who were even closer to the flower.

Unless the Dan Ding Sect possesses speed comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there is absolutely no way they could snatch the Seven-Pointed Flower from them.

What Zhang Yuanqing didn't notice was that Lu Cheng'an's body had already disappeared from the spot before they appeared.

While the Zhang family cultivators were attacking Lin Tao and Song Qingzhi, Lu Cheng'an appeared less than a foot away from the seven-cornered flower.

Lu Cheng'an lifted his foot and brought it down, unleashing a surge of power that instantly uprooted the soil around the seven-pointed flower.

Lu Cheng'an instantly collected the soil and the seven-pointed flower into his storage bag, and then he used his speed again to distance himself from the Zhang family cultivators.

"Lu Cheng'an, how dare you steal from the Zhang family? Do you want to die?!" Zhang Yuanqing roared, his eyes fixed on Lu Cheng'an, wishing he could kill him right now.

Zhang Yuanqing knew that Lu Chengan was an outsider invited by Dan Ding Sect, but he had never taken Lu Chengan seriously. He never expected such a change to occur.
