Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 112 Black Lotus Blood Seal

Our ancestors were the most reliable; if they had something good, they would really give it to us.

After receiving the two second-tier talismans, Lu Yang had even less to worry about.

With these two talismans, even if Lu Yang were to encounter a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could retreat with ease.

The ancestors of the Lu family each had their own unique skills. Lu Qingren had been cultivating talismans from the beginning, and now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his talisman skills had also improved, and he was even able to refine second-tier talismans.

After listening to the instructions, Lu Yang left the council hall directly.

They didn't return to the courtyard, which originally contained almost nothing but real estate. With Lu Chen and the puppet watching over it, they felt even more at ease.

Riding the sun-eating horse, we left the mountain gate.

Now that the four prefectures are unified and managed by the Lu family, aside from other factors, the prosperity of the four prefectures has increased considerably.

After all, development is pursued after resource integration, so the speed of development is naturally different.

Even a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator like Shi Ri is quite fast, heading straight for Canglan County, and it shouldn't take too long.

According to intelligence from the clan, Lu Xuanying and her group of six disappeared on their way to Canglan County without even sending out a distress signal.

It was the elders of Canglan County who, seeing that the clan had not yet sent anyone over, contacted the clan. Only then did the clan discover that six people had gone missing.

Therefore, Lu Yang did not focus on traveling quickly, but instead stopped frequently to explore the situation along the way.

After all, the person was lost on the road.

Starting from the gate of Qingcang Mountain, the journey to Canglan County passes through five county towns.

It's definitely impossible for a county town at the foot of Qingcang Mountain; no demon or monster would dare to do that.

If they really dared to make a move at the foot of Qingcang Mountain, they wouldn't have only robbed six cultivators in the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining.

The target can be set on the three county towns in the central and rear areas.

Moreover, Lu Xuanying and his group would definitely not stay in the county town, so they are most likely outside the city.

Lu Yang was thinking to himself, but he stopped in Canghuang County.

This is the third county town after leaving the gate of Qingcang Mountain, located in the central part of Qingcang Mountain and Canglan County.

Lu Yang randomly picked up an inn and began drawing talismans.

The Water Yin Talisman Scripture encompasses many talisman traditions, including a high-grade talisman for tracking and finding objects, called the "Wild Goose Tracking Talisman".

Of the six, Lu Yang had the most contact with Lu Jie and Lu Xuanying, and was the most familiar with their auras.

While drawing the talisman, Lu Yang recorded the auras of the two people and sent it into the Wild Goose Tracking Talisman.

Compared to the Shadow Erosion Talisman, the Wild Goose Tracking Talisman is much easier to draw.

Once the talisman was completed and activated by the infusion of spiritual energy, a wild goose immediately soared into the sky. Lu Yang watched the speed at which the wild goose shot into the sky and his face lit up with joy.

This talisman is quite useful; it has actually led to a clue.

Instead of riding the Sun-Eating Beast any further, he put it away, stepped on the Cloud-Flying Shuttle, donned the Shadowless Veil, and followed the wild geese.

Lu Yang didn't know whether the person who abducted the six people was human or ghost, nor did he know their cultivation level, so he naturally had to be careful.

The Shadowless Veil can conceal one's form, while the Life-Breaking Pearl can conceal one's aura; the combination of the two is a perfect match.

As Lu Yang chased after the wild geese, his brows furrowed more and more. Why were they flying around so randomly, as if they were going in circles?

What happened? Did it crash? It was working perfectly fine just now, and then it broke down.

"Have you heard? A Foundation Establishment Cave has appeared on the desolate mountain."

Foundation Building Cave!

Lu Yang paused, his gaze falling on the two rogue cultivators in front of him. These two rogue cultivators were only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and they were old and faded. It was obvious that they had taken too many pills and their potential was almost exhausted. In this lifetime, let alone breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it would probably be difficult for them to even reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

Such independent cultivators would not be accepted by the Lu family, nor would other Foundation Establishment families accept them as guest elders.

For these independent cultivators, besides making a living in the market, the only way to earn spirit stones is by hunting demons and searching for the caves and ruins of their ancestors.

These two must be the ones who got the information from somewhere, knowing that a Foundation Establishment Cave had appeared.

Wilderness Mountain!

Lu Yang did have some impression of this mountain, but this mountain is not unclaimed land, is it?

The desolate mountain is not in Canghuang County, but in Cangyuan County, which is behind Canghuang County. Behind Cangyuan County is Canglan County, which is close to the border and has few resources.

Even if it's a small amount, it's still enough to supply a few Qi Refining families.

In my memory, the Wasteland Mountain was a first-order spiritual vein in Cangyuan County, which was occupied by the Fan family of Cangyuan.

The Fan family of Cangyuan is a Qi Refining family with more than a dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators. The patriarch's cultivation level also seems to be quite high, reaching the late stage of Qi Refining.

It's just a first-tier spiritual vein, guarded by a late-stage Qi Refining family. Generally, no one would dare to mess with it.

If the two rogue cultivators are right about the desolate mountain, then it is the territory of the Fan family, and a Foundation Establishment cave dwelling has appeared in the world.

Stop fooling around!

If a Foundation Establishment Cave had truly appeared, the Fan family would have seized it long ago; why would they allow such news to spread?

After all, the Fan family has occupied the desolate mountain for about a hundred years. It's just a small mountain range, and it has long been completely excavated.

Feeling a bit strange, I figured that since wild geese were flying around everywhere, there was no harm in following them and taking a look.

The closer Lu Yang got, the stranger it seemed, because the number of rogue cultivators who had gathered there was far more than just these two; he had seen more than a dozen along the way.

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they dared to explore the Foundation Establishment cave of a late-stage Qi Refining family. With so many cultivators, even the Fan family had to give way.

Regardless of whether there is a cave or not, the mountain gate must be opened so that these independent cultivators can go in and take a look.

The combined strength of these independent cultivators should not be underestimated.

Wilderness Mountain.

At this moment, the Fan family was completely silent. "Patriarch, what exactly is going on? Where did this Foundation Establishment cave dwelling come from on the Wasteland Mountain? Our Fan family has occupied the Wasteland Mountain for a hundred years, and we have used the entire mountain to its fullest extent, plundering it clean. If there really was a Foundation Establishment cave dwelling, we would have discovered it long ago. This is probably someone spreading rumors to harm our Fan family!"

The third elder of the Fan family was away handling some matters, but he rushed back just in time for the Fan family's general meeting, and couldn't wait to start speaking.

The Fan family has a total of seventeen cultivators, and they are all here now. The family head, Fan Taiping, is at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Below him are three elders, all of whom are at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and the rest are at the early stage of Qi Refining.

At this moment, the three elders were the most anxious, while the others all wore uncertain expressions.

Fan Taiping ignored the Third Elder. It was the First Elder who sighed and said, "Third brother, calm down. I summoned you back to discuss this matter. Alas, our Fan family is now at a critical juncture of life and death."

This!

The Third Elder was stunned upon hearing this. "It can't be that bad. Although we don't know who is plotting against our Fan family, what can those rogue cultivators do to us? At worst, we'll just let them see. They won't actually start a war against our Fan family."

The Grand Elder shook his head. "It's not those rogue cultivators, but the Black Lotus Sect."

Black Lotus Cult!

The Third Elder's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "Wasn't the Black Lotus Sect wiped out? Wait, what's the connection between the Black Lotus Sect and our Fan family? Could it really be a Foundation Establishment cave dwelling? And it belongs to the Black Lotus Sect?"

Hearing the Third Elder's words, everyone shook their heads in disbelief; the Third Elder's imagination was truly boundless.

"Third brother, the Black Lotus Sect is not so easily destroyed. It has only been lying low, waiting for the right time to strike. Now that the time has come, it is only natural to restore the sect's prestige."

"I don't understand!"

The third brother was completely bewildered. What was the eldest brother trying to say?

"alright."

Fan Taiping finally spoke, and after circulating his internal energy, a black lotus appeared between his eyebrows, which greatly surprised the Third Elder.

"Master! You!"

The Third Elder pointed to Fan Taiping's forehead, and finally realized what was happening. It's understandable that he was so surprised, as the situation was quite unexpected.

A black lotus between his eyebrows—that's the symbol of the Black Lotus Cult! What's going on? Did his own home get raided while he was out?

Fan Taiping didn't say anything more, but instead tossed a cultivation manual to the Third Elder.

"Try practicing the exercise."

Black Lotus Blood Seal!

The Third Elder's heart tightened as he looked at the manual. This was the Black Lotus Sect's signature technique, the Black Lotus Blood Seal.

It is said that the Black Lotus Blood Seal uses bloodline as a guide. Any descendant of the Black Lotus Cult who cultivates this method can draw out their own Black Lotus bloodline, making the cultivation of the Black Lotus Technique twice as effective with half the effort.

This is also the key to the Black Lotus Cult's rapid rise.

However, with the destruction of the Black Lotus Sect, the Black Lotus Blood Seal also disappeared without a trace. How could it have appeared in their small Qi Refining family, the Fan family?

Wait! Use blood ties as a guide!

The Third Elder looked sharply at Fan Taiping, "Patriarch, no way! This is absurd! How could this be!"

The First Elder was not much better off than the Third Elder. "Alas, things have come to this point, there's no use saying anything else. The Black Lotus Blood Seal is fine. A month ago, a guy who claimed to be the Black Lotus Envoy entered my Fan family and gave us this cultivation technique, asking us to join the sect."

We initially thought this guy was crazy, but after trying to cultivate the Black Lotus Blood Seal, we realized that we were the ones who were crazy.

We are actually descendants of the Black Lotus Cult.

The others also wore bitter expressions. Yes, the Black Lotus Sect was once one of the most powerful sects in the Yue Kingdom. The leader of the Black Lotus Sect had the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, and even the left and right protectors had the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage.

The Black Lotus Sect at that time almost overthrew the Yue Kingdom and established a new dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was suppressed by the Qingyun Sect. After the Qingyun Sect intervened, the Black Lotus Sect was utterly destroyed and completely disappeared in just a few years.

I heard that the leader and his two protectors were killed, and the entire Black Lotus Cult was wiped out. Moreover, that happened a thousand years ago.

However, the Yue Kingdom was almost destroyed by the Black Lotus Sect, so it naturally hated the Black Lotus Sect to the core. Therefore, even after a thousand years, it continued to eliminate the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect.

It is thanks to this that many cultivation forces in Yue Kingdom are still aware of the existence of the Black Lotus Sect.

Therefore, the Black Lotus Sect was no different from a rat crossing the street in the Yue Kingdom. The Fan family used to stand on the side of the Yue Kingdom and severely crack down on the Black Lotus Sect.

Now, the roles have reversed, and I've become the thief.

"Isn't this the end of the world?"
