Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 103 Mountain God's Yin Military Strategy, Cloud and Mist Daoist Soldiers
After building the Moon Well, Lu Feng casually built a Five Ghosts Altar in the Lingyuan Temple.

The Five Ghosts Altar wasn't some profound ghost-raising altar; Zhou Jun immediately discerned its true nature.

However, as Lu Feng built the Five Ghosts Altar, he felt that there were some differences in the Five Ghosts Altar built by Lu Feng.

Place five 1-star white-plate ghosts into the altar, and the Five Ghosts Altar will be full. Then teach them the Five Ghosts Mantra, and Zhou Ping and Zhou Jun will be able to freely control the five ghosts enshrined in the Five Ghosts Altar.

"This spell to command the five ghosts is a simple technique, and the altar for the five ghosts is also ordinary, but the addition of the five Yin ghost soldiers in the altar is something that makes it different!"

Taoist Zhou Jun scratched his head, carefully studying the Five Ghosts Altar, full of doubts.

Then, using the Five Ghosts Control Spell to manipulate the five ghosts is effortless and easy to use.

Any cultivator who has cultivated true qi can control these Yin Ghost soldiers.

Even those who haven't yet entered the Dao and cultivated true qi can use talismans to summon the five ghosts in the altar for assistance.

This greatly reduces the burden of using the Yin Ghost Soldier.

This Five Ghosts Altar alone can increase the Lingyuan Temple's combat power by at least 20% to 30%.

Zhou Jun heard that similar Five Ghosts Altars had been built in the branch temples of Xuan Yin Temple, and cultivators had been stationed there, like nails driven into the territory of Xuan Yin Temple.

With a steady and methodical approach, the strength of Xuan Yin Temple should not be underestimated.

Seeing that the Yin ghosts in the Five Ghosts Altar were very obedient and lacked the unruly behavior of fierce and wild ghosts, the Taoist Zhou Jun, recalling his family's inherited method of refining Taoist soldiers, couldn't help but ask Lu Feng about it:

"Master Lu, my Lingyuan Temple also has a method for refining Daoist weapons using Yin ghosts. I wonder if it can be used on the five ghosts on the altar!"

"Oh, tell me about it!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng also became curious about the weapon-refining methods of Lingyuan Temple.

Lu Feng obtained the Five Ghosts Spell from Old Xu of the Yizhuang.

The origin of this incantation is unknown, and it is not particularly advanced.

Lingyuan Temple is said to be related to Longhu Temple, a major sect in Liang Kingdom. Lu Feng also hopes that Taoist Zhou Jun can come up with some advanced training methods.

Speaking of his own method, Taoist Zhou Jun straightened his back and a confident smile appeared on his face:
"The method of cultivating Yin soldiers passed down in Lingyuan Temple was obtained by chance by the temple's patriarch. It is called the Mountain God Method. This method is most suitable for Yin ghosts to cultivate. They can find a mountain or river and establish themselves as gods, becoming the mountain gods of the area."

"The method of training Yin soldiers is also the method of training mountain guardians. It is best to find some fierce ghosts and pair them with Yin soldiers and magical artifacts to enhance the power of the Yin ghosts."

Zhou Jun explained slowly, giving Lu Feng a clear understanding of the mountain god's training method.

The Mountain God Technique can only be practiced by normal cultivators who abandon their physical bodies and leave only their souls to transform into ghost cultivators.

The method of training Yin soldiers in the Mountain God's Law can be used to train Yin soldiers.

The Yin Military Strategy includes five magical artifacts: the Soul-Binding Lock, the Ghost-Slaying Whip, the Demon-Slaying Sword, the Earth Armor, and the Mountain God's Command Order.

The first four items are used to enhance the combat power of the Yin soldiers, while the Mountain God's Command Token is the baton used by cultivators to command the Yin soldiers.

Upon hearing Zhou Jun's words, Lu Feng thought of his Ghost Grey.

This mountain god technique is somewhat compatible with Grey's.

If Grey were to become the Mountain God and command the Yin Soldiers, it might even significantly enhance her abilities.

The hero and the mountain god, one plus one, will surely produce an effect greater than two.

When Zhou Jun was talking about the Mountain God Technique, he also knew the rules of Xuan Yin Temple. After seeing the benefits of the Moon Well and the Five Ghosts Altar, he also generously took out the Lingyuan Temple's techniques.

Besides the mountain god ritual used to train the Yin soldiers, they also had their own "Purple Yang Qi Circulation Method".

This method is a masculine method that requires absorbing purple qi in the morning and the fire qi of the sun in the evening.

The refined Purple Sun True Qi is vigorous and powerful, making it most effective against demons and ghosts. In battle, it is also fierce and domineering.

Being able to refine 108 acupoints is considered a righteous method of the Xuanmen that can lead to a low-grade Dao foundation, and it is much more powerful than the Xuan Yin Gong in Lu Feng's hands.

Having obtained this method, Lu Feng also planned to promote it within the Xuan Yin Temple, allowing the cultivators and disciples there to learn this orthodox Xuanmen method.

The Xuan Yin Gong can only refine the thirty or forty apertures, barely reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Only with the water from the Moon Well can one refine it faster.

After reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one must seek out subsequent techniques of the Profound Yin Technique or switch to cultivating other Yin-attribute techniques; otherwise, one's cultivation will stagnate.

Although the Ziyang Qi Circulation Method can only be cultivated to the lower-grade Dao Foundation, this system of Xuanmen techniques has much more potential than the Xuanyin Technique.

Lu Feng even specially invited the Taoist Zhou Jun to Xuan Yin Temple to teach this method.

At first, the Taoist Zhou Jun was somewhat resistant, but as he came to understand the educational philosophy of Xuan Yin Temple, he gradually accepted the job of a Taoist priest who spread the Dharma.

Besides the Ziyang Qi Circulation Method, the Taoist priests of Lingyuan Temple also have a wide variety of complementary spells for cultivation and learning.

From healing techniques, soul-collecting spells, and exorcism spells that benefit ordinary people, to the Ziyang Sword Technique, the Shadowless Dragon Step, the Ziyang Talisman Technique, and the Zhengyang Protective Spell used by cultivators in actual combat.

The only pity is that the Ziyang Qi Circulation Method does not have a corresponding weapon-refining method. The two Taoists from Lingyuan Temple only refined a few weapons from the Mountain God Method.

Lu Feng gained a lot from Lingyuan Temple, and he didn't ask Lingyuan Temple to change its name when he left.

The two Taoist priests from Lingyuan Temple have joined Xuanyin Temple, so Lu Feng doesn't care whether the temple's name is changed or not.

In any case, once the Moon Well was erected, this land was already incorporated into the territory of the Xuan Yin Temple.

Lingyuan Temple and the magistrate of Qingyuan County took the initiative to join Xuanyin Temple, and Qingyuan County immediately received strong support from Xuanyin Temple.

The monks from the temple personally led a team to Qingyuan County to guide the county magistrate on how to better build and develop Qingyuan County.

A county is a place with a considerable area and a large population. It has great potential. If it is developed well, doubling its economy and population is not a problem.

In contrast to Qingyuan County, Wang Yong and his men acted more violently in Donglai County, which was less proactive.

The Red Lotus Temple was completely destroyed, and the magistrate of Donglai County became a figurehead after the Taoist priests of Xuanyin Temple took over, turning him into a competent and ruthless decree-issuing machine.

With the remaining influence of the government, guiding the transformation of Donglai County would save Xuan Yin Temple a lot of resources and trouble.

This is also why Xuan Yin Temple always spared the county magistrate's life.

Meanwhile, as the Taoist priests of Xuan Yin Temple settled in the two counties, the independent cultivators in the two counties were also cleared out by Xuan Yin Temple.

These independent cultivators don't have many options.

Those who commit crimes and have a criminal record are arrested directly. After being forced to reveal their techniques and spells, they are killed to become materials for using the soul-summoning spell.

The rest were absorbed into the Xuan Yin Temple.

Faced with the weapons of the White Bone Dao Soldiers on one side and the generous treatment from the Xuan Yin Temple on the other, these rogue cultivators naturally made the right choice.

These independent cultivators, once they enter the Xuan Yin Temple and receive proper training, can become the backbone of the Xuan Yin Temple and contribute to the development of the Xuan Yin Temple's territory.

While Lu Feng was working to consolidate the territory of the two counties within the Xuan Yin Temple, he also took the Mountain God Technique to Ghost Grey and began to explore the cultivation of the Mountain God Technique with her.

Among the undead units, ghosts are not particularly strong; they are simply a collection of death energy, making them invincible against ordinary creatures that lack energy attack capabilities.

However, if they encounter higher-level units, they will be damaged by skills that carry energy, and due to their nature as being composed of yin energy and death energy, they do not have much health.

Their flight ability is also average; they can't fly high or fast.

In Lu Feng's forces, Ghosts are now relegated to the role of reconnaissance agents and support units in combat, completely unable to compare with powerful units such as Skeleton Wolf Riders and Corrupted Abominations.

The emergence of the Mountain God's Law has given ghosts a new evolutionary path, greatly enhancing their combat abilities.

Lu Feng and Gray studied the Mountain God Technique together. Like the Yin Soldier Technique, which involves summoning Yin Soldiers, the Mountain God Technique also requires the cultivator to summon magical artifacts.

Centered around a mountain god seal, the procession of the mountain god was crafted, consisting of multiple ritual implements symbolizing natural elements and mythological features.

Heavenly Net Umbrella, Mountain Banner, Cypress Banner, Mountain-Splitting Axe, Mountain-Suppressing Sword, Mountain-Driving Whip, Rain-Controlling Copper Pot, Tranquil Gong.
The ceremonial implements are centered around the Mountain God Seal, forming a set. The more items there are, the higher their quality.

From this mountain god's method, Lu Feng also saw the method for making the mountain-driving whip, which was exactly the same as Lu Feng's.

It turns out that the method of refining magical artifacts obtained from Ma Pozi actually originated from the Mountain God's method.

It was a unique kind of fate.

The ghost Gray was also very interested in the Mountain God. Her profession was ice mage, but this was what she had learned in her previous life, and she was not very proficient in it.

Only the beginner ice mage portion can be trained at the 1-star stage.

After dying, he became a ghost hero and spent a lot of time researching the basic ice mage class, using a lot of soul coins to barely reach the 1-star gold level.

Now that her basic ice mage skill has been used up, she has no idea how to advance to intermediate ice mage.

It relies entirely on stacking Soul Coins, requiring a large amount of Bronze Soul Coins or 2-star Silver Soul Coins.

Without any professional inheritance, all the bronze soul coins produced by Lu Feng's Blackrock Territory, even if given to Gray, wouldn't be enough for Gray's personal consumption.

Lu Feng would be better off finding Gray a mid-level ice mage's inheritance. Cultivating according to the inheritance will greatly reduce the number of soul coins consumed.

The Mountain God Technique obtained from Lingyuan Temple has a complete set of cultivation methods. It is a method that can be cultivated to the equivalent of the Foundation Establishment stage, which is enough for Ghost Gray to advance to 2 stars.

However, the core of this Mountain God Technique is to find a mountain, build a Mountain God Temple, and then collect the power of incense offerings and the energy of the mountain and earth veins to refine the Mountain God Seal.

Then, with the Mountain God Seal as the core, a series of Mountain God rituals, Yin soldiers and magical artifacts, etc., are prepared.

"The area around Blackrock Territory in the Lord's World is all forest and plains. There are no mountains to be seen within the territory for a while, so we can only start from the Xuan Yin Temple territory! The nearest mountain is the Misty Mountain not far away!"

Lu Feng stood at Xuan Yin Temple, gazing at the distant misty mountains, having already made his decision.

"It's time to make a trip to Wushan and persuade the Wushan Master to join the Xuanyin Temple!"

With three 2-star Treants and the Corruption Abomination in hand, Lu Feng was no longer afraid of the Lord of Mist Mountain.

However, Lu Feng doesn't have much of a chance of defeating the Lord of Mist Mountain. After all, the 2-star Treant isn't good at combat, and the Corrupted Abomination can only fight on the ground, not against air units.

As for the Lord of Mist Mountain, Lu Feng remembered that he could fly. At the platform atop Mist Mountain.

The area is shrouded in mist and clouds, creating a truly ethereal and otherworldly scene.

Lu Feng came here once again.

"What a rare guest! I haven't seen you for days!"

"My search for suitable locations for cultivation has taken up some time!"

The Lord of Mist Mountain warmly welcomed Lu Feng, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, they talked about Mist Mountain.

"Mountain Lord, I have recently discovered a mountain god technique that can help one of my Yin Ghosts cultivate. It requires the power of a mountain. I have searched around the vicinity of my Xuan Yin Temple, and only your Mist Mountain is renowned far and wide for its beauty and spiritual essence!"

"Therefore, I would like to invite the mountain lord to join my Xuanyin Temple, and at the same time, I would like to borrow this place in Wushan!"

Lu Feng also took out the Mountain God Technique and let the Lord of Mist Mountain study it.

When the Lord of Wushan heard Lu Feng's request, he had a headache. This kid was pushing his luck. Before, he had only asked him for some cultivation techniques.

Now they're all trying to seize his legacy.

The Lord of Mist Mountain reviewed the Mountain God's Manual, looked into Lu Feng's eyes, and shook his head, saying:

"Words are no proof. You can't convince me with just this Mountain God Manual! I know your temperament. You must have come prepared. Show me your true strength!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng smiled nonchalantly: "As expected, I couldn't hide anything from you, Mountain Lord!"

As he spoke, Lu Feng summoned the Corrupt Abomination from his weapon storage bag.

"Hungry! Eat, eat, eat!"

The moment the rotten, abominable, enormous, and bloated corpse appeared on the mountaintop platform, the surroundings instantly turned cold and gloomy, filled with a stench and the aura of death.

The mountain lord of Wushan was startled and quickly stood up, staring intently at the corrupt and abhorrent creature that was so close at hand, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"How about it? My weapon is named: Corruption and Abomination. It has a huge body, a body of decaying bones, covered in poisonous miasma, with thick skin and flesh. It can rival the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and is only one step away from Foundation Establishment!"

Upon hearing Lu Feng's introduction, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Mist Mountain Master.

Lu Feng, who is in the late stage of Qi Refining, has actually managed to raise a Dao Soldier who is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. He has a promising future and is very powerful.

"Excellent, excellent! With this Corruption and Hatred protecting you, your future is secure! I can give you Mist Mountain, but once you've established your foundation, don't forget the condition you promised me!"

The Lord of Wushan was greatly pleased. He brought up the old matter again, and he saw true hope in Lu Feng, this corrupt and despicable man.

"But that's not all the confidence I have!"

Lu Feng did not respond to the words of the Mist Mountain Lord, but instead waved his hand and summoned a 2-star tree spirit from his weapon storage bag.

"Pfft!"

A vibrant, lush, and tall tree landed on the mountaintop platform, its roots penetrating the rocks and burrowing into the ground. In an instant, it was as if a spring breeze had swept across the summit of Wushan Mountain.

The tree-man's life halo unfolded, and its warm life force spread out, instantly sweeping away all the cold and gloomy energy brought by corruption and hatred on the mountaintop platform.

A warm life force entered the body of the Mist Mountain Master, making him feel energetic.

"My soldier is called Treant. He has a cultivation level equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage. He excels at support but lacks offensive capabilities!"

Lu Feng stood next to the tree spirit, shook his head, and said as if somewhat dissatisfied.

Seeing that expression, the Mist Mountain Master secretly clenched his fists, wanting to punch Lu Feng a couple of times to vent his anger.

But upon sensing the treant's aura and its genuine Foundation Establishment stage strength, all those thoughts vanished from his mind.

As long as he doesn't encounter disciples from major sects, with the assistance of Dao soldiers like the Wushan Warriors, he can already dominate the Qi Refining stage.

But the closer he got to the Foundation Establishment stage, the more he could feel the power of the Foundation Establishment stage. The powerful force within the tree-man Dao soldier under Lu Feng's command was so immense that just looking at it made the Mist Mountain Lord lose all thoughts of taking action.

When the gap in strength is too large, the weak often lose the courage to throw a punch at the strong.

"With this Tree Spirit Soldier, you have a good chance of establishing your foundation, and the road ahead will be smooth!"

The Lord of Wushan sighed, genuinely pleased with Lu Feng's strength.

At the same time, the Lord of Mist Mountain quickly adjusted his mindset and respectfully bowed to Lu Feng, saying:
"Now that you have a Foundation Establishment stage tree-man Dao soldier protecting you, from now on, this Misty Mountain is also the territory of your Xuan Yin Temple. You can also let your Yin ghosts try out this Mountain God Technique here!"

A mere 2-star Treant has won over the heart of the Mist Mountain Lord, giving him confidence in his ability to take revenge on a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If Lu Feng becomes even more powerful in the future, his Foundation Establishment stage enemy will surely suffer a terrible death.

Thinking of these things, the Lord of Wushan Mountain became somewhat excited.

He no longer cares about the position of Lord of Mist Mountain; he only looks forward to Lu Feng's imminent future.

"Welcome, Mountain Lord, to the Xuan Yin Temple!"

Lu Feng accepted the greeting and happily welcomed the Lord of Wushan Mountain to the fold.

Lu Feng had personally witnessed the strength of the Lord of Mist Mountain in the past; he was a formidable figure even in the late stage of Qi Refining.

With his addition, Xuan Yin Temple will gain another great general.

However, seeing the excited look on the Lord of Mist Mountain's face, Lu Feng did not release the other two 2-star treants from the weapon storage bag.

They were afraid that the surprise would be too great and frighten the Lord of Wushan Mountain.

After their relationship improved, Lu Feng also became interested in the abilities of the Lord of Wushan Mountain.

From the mist mountain lord, Lu Feng learned that the mist mountain lord mainly cultivated the "Ethereal Cloud Immortal Technique," refined 150 to 160 acupoints, and cultivated a natal magic weapon, the Ethereal Cloud Banner, within his body, creating twelve Cloud Mist Warriors, each of whom had reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

The combined strength of the twelve Cloud Mist Warriors is enough to make the Lord of Mist Mountain rival a typical Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator; this is the foundation of his power.

Aside from the Misty Cloud Immortal Technique, the Lord of Mist Mountain also has some knowledge of alchemy and knows a few weapon-making techniques.

The Soul-Binding Coffin that Lu Feng used to subdue the ghost Gray was created by the Lord of Mist Mountain.

The multi-talented and versatile Lord of Wushan Mountain was a real talent in Lu Feng's eyes.

Lu Feng spent a lot of time persuading the Lord of Wushan Mountain to become a transmission elder at Xuanyin Temple, where he would pass on his knowledge of alchemy and weapon crafting techniques.

The development of Xuan Yin Temple, enabling more cultivators to learn cultivation techniques and forming a large-scale operation, can greatly enhance Xuan Yin Temple's war potential.

The medicine workshop built by Miao Yi and his wife with the Taoist disciples of Xuan Yin Temple was a place where everyone's efforts were combined to play a greater role.

If they learn the art of alchemy, they can turn the medicine workshop into an alchemy workshop.

In the future, we can build more weapon-refining workshops, talisman-making workshops, and so on, gathering the strength of many cultivators in Xuan Yin Temple to make Xuan Yin Temple bigger and stronger.

Once Lu Feng refines the Heart of a City in the Lord's World, he can also transform these Xuan Yin Temple branches into buildings, making them stronger and more efficient.
These are all part of the future construction plan for Xuan Yin Temple. Now, after persuading the Lord of Wushan Mountain, Lu Feng also took out materials and built a Moon Well for the Lord of Wushan Mountain on the platform at the top of Wushan Mountain.

The moonlight gathers and forms well water.

Having witnessed the wonders of the Moon Well, even the Lord of Wushan Mountain was full of praise.

"The well you built is truly remarkable. It bears some resemblance to the array used to collect moonlight, but it is more natural and easier to set up."

"I've also drunk the water from the Moon Well, and its effects are remarkable. If this Moon Well water has the effects you described, then it will also be of great benefit to my cultivation of the Ethereal Cloud Immortal Technique!"

Then, the Lord of Mist Mountain made a hand seal, and two Mist Warriors appeared beside him. The Mist Warriors came to the Moon Well and opened their mouths to suck in the water.

Wisps of mist rose from the surface of the well water, as clear as silk. The mist intertwined and fell into the hands of the Mist Warrior, where it was spun like thread and rolled into clusters of shimmering mist.

After the Cloud Mist Warrior had collected all the water from the Moon Well into a shimmering cloud, the Lord of Mist Mountain took out a long banner.

The long banner is grayish-white, ethereal like clouds and mist, and is the ethereal cloud fairy banner, a magical artifact of the misty mountain master.

Shaking the long banner to gather the crystalline mist, the Lord of Mist Mountain continued to perform hand seals, casting out several intricate rune diagrams and embedding them into the ethereal Cloud Immortal Banner.

Before long, a tiny, crystalline cloud-like figure emerged from the ethereal cloud banner.

【Mist Spirit (0-star Elite)】

This is a new Cloud Mist Dao Soldier crafted by the Lord of Mist Mountain. The Moon Well was newly built, and there was not enough water in the well to allow the Lord of Mist Mountain to craft the initial form of this Cloud Mist Dao Soldier.

"This is a Cloud Mist Dao Soldier refined using water from the Moon Well. Based on the properties of the Moon Well water, it can exert some of the effects of the Moon Well water, healing minor injuries and restoring true qi and magical power!"

"This special spiritual water is far more useful than the Mist Mountain Warrior I usually refine from the essence of clouds and mist I collect from the Mist Mountain!"

The Lord of Mist Mountain was very pleased with the birth of Little Mist Spirit, and Lu Feng took Little Mist Spirit from his hands.

The little mist spirit placed her hand on his body and emitted a faint moonlight power to help him restore his true energy and heal his injuries.

Although the effect is very weak due to the low level of the Little Mist Spirit, it is still a genuine healer unit.

"You, a Cloud Mist Dao Soldier, actually possess such skills! You should have said so earlier. I still have plenty of water from my Moon Well. Every branch of the Xuan Yin Temple has a Moon Well; as long as you need it, I can supply you with ample water."

"By the way, besides your ethereal cloud banner, is there any way for you to build an altar on your own and have other cultivators help you refine the cloud weapon?"

Upon witnessing the method by which the Lord of Mist Mountain cultivated the Little Mist Spirit, Lu Feng was surprised and immediately thought of how to transform this method of cultivating Cloud Mist Soldiers into a type of troop building in the Lord's World.

The Cloud Mist Warrior is both resilient and capable of fighting.

Little Mist Spirit can provide milk.

These are all high-level troops that Blackrock Territory desperately needs.

The Lord of Mist Mountain was taken aback by Lu Feng's question, then answered truthfully:

"That's hard to say. I cultivated the Misty Cloud Immortal Technique and refined my natal magic weapon, the Long Banner, before I learned the skill of consecrating Dao weapons. The technique doesn't include a method for constructing an altar. If I want to research something like yours, it will probably take some time."
