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

Chapter 167 Secret Talks at the Dragon Palace
After bidding farewell to Lu Feng and the others, Jiaolong Lingyue rode the wind back to Honghu Lake, where the air was still filled with abundant moisture.

Raindrops the size of soybeans poured down, causing the water level of Honghu Lake to rise again and again, with no sign of stopping.

"I don't know when this rain will stop, and I don't know how many people will suffer from this disaster."

Ling Yue felt a pang of sorrow. Her dragon form plunged straight into the bottom of Honghu Lake, arriving at a crystal-clear underwater dragon palace.

"Princess Moon!"

Along the way, all sorts of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, clam demons, and fish spirits greeted Ling Yue with their respects.

Lingyue, as a foundation-building dragon of Honghu Dragon Palace, is also a princess of the Dragon Palace personally appointed by the old Dragon King, and has a noble status.

Ling Yue went straight into the depths of the Dragon Palace and arrived at a magnificent hall with dazzling lights. On the throne above the hall sat the old Dragon King, who had a dragon's head and a human body, wore a gorgeous robe and a crown.

"Father, Yue'er is back!"

Lingyue approached the throne and greeted the old Dragon King with a radiant smile.

Upon hearing his daughter's voice, the old Dragon King opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Ling Yue, and a hint of doting flashed in his eyes.

The old Dragon King was most fond of his daughter, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage at a young age.

"Little Yue'er, how was your trip? There were so many disasters outside, it must have been tough!"

Lingyue's actions of leaving the Dragon Palace and wandering around, dispersing the water vapor, could not be hidden from the Old Dragon King of Honghu. He intended to let Lingyue leave the Dragon Palace and see the world.

"Things are not good outside. Due to the floods, the civilian population in the counties has suffered heavy casualties. Although I have tried to control the water vapor and reduce the floods, I am still no match for the power of natural disasters, and my gains have been minimal."

When Lingyue spoke of this matter, she sighed deeply at her own incompetence.

Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King gently patted Ling Yue's hand and comforted her:

"That's normal. Human strength has its limits, but the power of heaven and earth is boundless. Save as many as you can, and do your best!"

The young dragon was inexperienced but still retained some sense of righteousness, while the old dragon king was knowledgeable and experienced. He had witnessed many such calamities, and the deaths of ordinary people could no longer shake his cold heart.

Hearing her father's comforting words, Ling Yue felt a little better and casually started talking about everything she had experienced in Hongze County:
"However, during my travels, I encountered some interesting Foundation Establishment cultivators in Hongze County. The Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yuchan Temple, Chongfu Temple, and Xuanyin Temple joined forces to control a tall white bone tower and activate a water-based array to collect the water vapor in the sky above Hongze County, thus alleviating the threat of floods to Hongze County!"

"There is a Master Lu from the Xuan Yin Temple there. He is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and a very generous person. He invited me to enter the White Bone Tower to collect water vapor together. He also brought out a lot of spiritual materials and medicines to entertain me. He is really rich and generous!"

Speaking of Lu Feng from Hongze County, Ling Yue's previous dejection vanished instantly, and her eyes lit up. This sight made the old Dragon King's heart pound.

Something's not right with my good daughter!

Hongze County is located next to Honghu Lake, and the Old Dragon King has some understanding of the various forces in Hongze County.

The Buddhist Chongfu Temple and the Taoist Yuchan Temple each have a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge. Although they are not as powerful as him, a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator, they are still powerful figures in their own right, enough to subdue all forces in Hongze County.

The old Dragon King had no recollection of when the Xuan Yin Temple had appeared. Seven or eight years ago, when he interacted with several Foundation Establishment cultivators from Hongze County, he had never heard of any mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Xuan Yin Temple.
It's really strange that someone has suddenly appeared.

The old Dragon King suppressed his agitation and hurriedly inquired of Ling Yue about the details of Hongze County, especially about Lu Feng.

Ling Yue rambled on about what she had seen and heard; in Ling Yue's eyes, Lu Feng was unbelievably perfect.

Powerful, wealthy, generous, and talented. He has advantages in every aspect.

When the old Dragon King heard that Ling Yue had also given Lu Feng the pearl that recorded the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Divine Power, a surge of anger suddenly ignited in his heart.

'That kid's a real liar. I have to teach him a lesson and get the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Divine Power back.'

However, when the old Dragon King saw the spiritual materials and medicines that Ling Yue had brought back from Lu Feng, his anger dissipated by more than half in an instant.

The dazzling array of spiritual materials and herbs dazzled the old Dragon King and startled him.

Looking at his daughter again and again, and then at these spiritual materials and medicines, the old dragon king had to admit that he had spoken a little too loudly.

“Daughter, you should get to know Master Lu of Xuan Yin Temple in Hongze County, a great cultivator who is both virtuous and wealthy. You can try to get to know him more often in the future. When you go to see him next time, please let me know. I also have some insights into cultivating the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Divine Power. You can take it and show it to him. It might be helpful for his cultivation of the divine power!”

The old Dragon King spoke quite seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue's eyes widened: "Father, that's not what you just said!"

Old Dragon King: "Cough cough!"

Back at the Xuan Yin Temple, Lu Feng took out the pearl that stored the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Divine Power and examined it several times.

"It's a great supernatural power, but it will take some effort to cultivate it!"

Lu Feng had just advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and had not even successfully cultivated his own Blood Path Divine Power, the Blood God Demon Scripture. At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as he obtained the Profound Origin Heavy Water Divine Power.

In addition, there aren't many troops in the territory who practice water-based magic, so the Magic Guild will need some time to perfect the Profound Origin Heavy Water Divine Power before it can be effective.

Everything has to be done slowly; you can't rush it.

However, this time, in his transaction with Lingyue, the dragon of Honghu Dragon Palace, he only spent a few insignificant spiritual materials and medicines to obtain a decent water-based divine ability, which was a great profit.

After seeing off the dragon Lingyue, Lu Feng and the others discussed the widespread flooding along the Tongtian River.

Unfortunately, they gathered too little intelligence to conduct an effective analysis.

Neither the Taoist nor Buddhist sects in Liang Kingdom have made any moves yet. This flood has affected the core of both factions in Liang Kingdom, and it remains to be seen how these two behemoths will react.

After analyzing it repeatedly, no useful conclusions were reached.

They had no choice but to gather intelligence on their own and wait for the future actions of the two major powers.

"I wonder how well Senior Brother Yu Chan fared on his trip to Longhu Mountain. Logically speaking, he should have already brought back the seeds of Baiyang Rice, which he only bought!"

When talking about Longhu Mountain, everyone also thought of Taoist Yuchan.

Why hasn't Master Yu Chan returned yet?
Two days later, amidst everyone's chatter, Daoist Yu Chan returned to Xuan Yin Temple, weary from his journey.

Upon seeing Lu Feng, Daoist Yu Chan took out the White Yang Rice seeds he had brought back from Longhu Mountain.

"Master, I have successfully completed my mission and brought back the seeds of White Sun Rice!"

The seeds of Baiyang rice are oval or spherical, hard in texture, and have a bright luster. Each seed is about the size of a little finger and looks like a smooth pearl, radiating a gentle glow.

As you get closer, you can smell the scent of sunshine, a pleasant fragrance, full of vitality. "What a wonderful thing!"

Lu Feng looked at the seeds of the White Yang Rice with admiration, and the Taoist Yu Rong also came up to examine them.

"These seeds are of good quality and still have good vitality. As long as they are planted and well cared for, they will definitely grow into high-quality white rice!"

After examining the body, Daoist Yu Rong nodded and said...

With his chest puffed out and a slight smile playing on his lips, the Jade Cicada Daoist confidently declared:

"Don't worry, how could I, the Jade Cicada Daoist, make a mistake?"

With Bai Yangmi brought back, the main ingredient for Bai Yang Dan, which can assist Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, was finally secured, and everyone was overjoyed.

Having consumed the pills refined by Evelyn during her Qi Refining stage, Lu Feng's subordinates were all extremely curious about the pills refined by Evelyn, who was now at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Grass Returning Pill and the White Yang Pill, these two Foundation Establishment stage pills, are coveted by all Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Lu Feng and Daoist Yu Chan!
Who wouldn't want to experience the joy of cultivation through pills during the Foundation Establishment stage? In the past, neither Chongfu Temple nor Yuchan Temple had ever cultivated alchemy to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now that it's in Lu Feng's territory, everyone is looking forward to it.

Recently, Evelyn's actions of collecting the essence of plants and trees have been observed by everyone, and they are all actively cooperating with Evelyn's actions.

He strives to perform well, all for the chance to taste the first batch of Herbal Elixir refined by Evelyn.

Lu Feng entrusted the task of planting Baiyang Rice to Daoist Yurong, and she could use all the resources and manpower in the territory to farm.

After all, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator skilled in planting spiritual plants, so Lu Feng felt more at ease leaving the professional task of cultivating White Yang Rice to Daoist Yu Rong.

Yu Rong Daoist accepted the order and went to find someone to refine two arrays, the Yangyan Array and the Xuan Yue Array. Then she went to Black Stone Territory to find a suitable place to cultivate spiritual fields and plant White Yang Rice seeds.

Blackrock Territory in the Lords' World is rich in spiritual energy, and the sun shines brightly in the sky, making it undoubtedly the most suitable place to grow White Sun Rice.

With the blessing of the Lord World's environment, Daoist Yu Rong was confident that she could grow a large quantity of White Yang Rice within a year.

Yu Rong Daoist hurriedly left with the White Yang Rice seeds, and Lu Feng and the others asked Yu Chan Daoist if she had noticed the continuous rain on her way back.

“This is no ordinary rain. On my way back, I traveled along the Tongtian River and saw too many places submerged by the flood. My late return also delayed the rescue of civilians affected by the flood…”

When this matter was mentioned, the expression in Yu Chan Dao Ren's eyes dimmed considerably.

Although he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has never forgotten that he came from the common people, joined the Jade Cicada Temple, and gradually worked his way up to where he is today.

As righteous cultivators, the Taoists of Yuchan Temple always take it as their duty to slay demons and eliminate evil, and to help the world. In their daily lives, they also often help the poor and needy and accumulate merit.

Now, this devastating flood has arrived, affecting thousands of miles. When passing by, seeing a large number of ordinary people struggling to survive in the flood, Daoist Yuchan felt unbearable pain and could only save a portion of them, however well he could.

This is a very heavy topic, and given that this matter involves the influence of a Golden Core cultivator from the upper reaches of the Tongtian River, there is not much that Xuan Yin Temple can do now. Protecting its own little territory is already the limit.

At the same time, Lu Feng also asked the question that he cared about most:
"Any moves by Jingang Temple and Longhu Mountain?"

The Liang Kingdom is vast, with two prefectures and thirteen counties. Hongze County is just one of them. In such a large place, the Xuan Yin Temple, which occupies Hongze County, has only just begun to take its place.

Within the territory of Liang, many prefectures and counties along the Tongtian River suffered from floods.

This is a major event concerning the entire kingdom, and as the leading forces of cultivation in Liang Kingdom, Vajra Temple and Dragon Tiger Mountain will certainly intervene in such a significant matter.

Upon hearing Lu Feng's question, Daoist Yu Chan shook his head sadly and said:

"As I traveled along, I didn't see many cultivators take action. Neither the Buddhist cultivators of Vajra Temple nor the Taoists of Longhu Mountain did I see them deal with the flood or rescue the civilians."

"Only a few rogue cultivators with a conscience stepped in to protect the area. Most of them were evil cultists who took advantage of floods and natural disasters to do evil. They practiced corpse refining, soul collecting, and all sorts of other things. I killed seventeen or eighteen of them on my way back..."

Floods are natural disasters, and with disasters come calamities. When disasters and calamities follow one another, it inevitably leads to a human tragedy in a region.

"Master, if there is an opportunity, please help those people who have suffered from the disaster!"

Having witnessed the human tragedy under the calamity, Daoist Yu Chan finally offered Lu Feng a suggestion that was not really a suggestion.

Lu Feng possesses the Bone Spire, which allows him to fly freely in the air. It contains a universe within and can be used to evacuate people affected by floods. If the Bone Spire could be activated, it could definitely save countless disaster victims from suffering.

The suggestion from Daoist Yuchan is good and feasible. If implemented properly, it can indeed help many disaster victims and bring a lot of people to the territory of Xuan Yin Temple.

"Yes, but this operation must be carried out in secrecy. Although rescuing people is a good deed that accumulates merit, we cannot expose our Xuan Yin Temple to the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom at this time. We are not strong enough, and now is not the right time!"

After some deliberation, Lu Feng finally made his choice amidst the expectant gazes of Daoist Yu Chan and the others.

We must save as many as we can from this flood.

At worst, we can convert these rescued civilians to loyal subjects and settle them in Hongze County. If there isn't enough room in Hongze County, we can send them to the Lord's World in the Bone Spire.

Back in Blackrock Territory, the undead army is expanding its territory every day. It can easily accommodate some flood victims in the vast Roland Forest.

Since this was feasible, and with no other troubles to interfere, Lu Feng rode the Bone Spire with Jade Cicada Daoist to search for and rescue the disaster victims.

The skeletal spire, hidden in the void, flew through the wind and rain towards the flood-stricken areas surrounding Hongze County.

Then one could see that fertile fields had become swamps, villages and houses had been washed away by the flood, and cries of despair filled the land.

Not far from there, they saw hundreds of disaster victims clinging tightly to the earth and rocks on a small hill. The floodwaters rushed past their feet, and they risked being swept away by the flood if they were not careful.

The heavy rain was still falling. In mid-August, these disaster victims had no shelter in their houses, and the rain took away the warmth from their bodies.

Hunger, fear, hypothermia. I won't be able to hold on much longer.

At that moment, the skeleton spire flew above them and suddenly unleashed a suction force, instantly drawing the disaster victims into the spire's space.

Before the disaster victims could react, they saw a bright sun shining in the sky, warming their bodies. Taoist priests came over to comfort them and gave them a bowl of hot porridge.

"God has intervened! God has intervened!"

"The gods have come to save us!"

The disaster victims made a lot of noise on the land inside the tower, but they also calmed down and learned about the situation through the arrangements of the Taoist priests of Xuan Yin Temple, and survived.
