Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 118 Old Traditions

Lu Yang glanced at the seven demonic artifacts. One of them was a top-grade magic ship belonging to a peak-level demonic being, which Lu Yang could use directly.

Unlike the magical artifacts of those demon lords, the magical artifacts of these sorcerers looked fairly normal and didn't have any special markings.

There is also a set of needles.

It was also used by this peak demon, a total of thirty-six, which is the number of the Heavenly Gang. It can be launched and arrive instantly, taking people by surprise, and is most suitable for sneak attacks.

Fortunately, Lu Yang managed to take down this peak-level demon in one fell swoop; otherwise, he might have really suffered some losses if he had encountered this set of needles.

Now that this needle has fallen into Lu Yang's hands, with the Shadowless Gauze and the needle working together, won't he be invincible?

Okay, from now on please call him "the number one assassin at the Qi Refining stage".

As for other magical artifacts, Lu Yang didn't think much of them. Although all seven of them were quite wealthy, they only used magical artifacts and didn't have any spiritual artifacts.

The two demonic cultivators, both at the late stage of Qi Refining, each possessed a top-grade magical artifact.

However, they were all hook blades, which Lu Yang wasn't used to, so he ended up selling them.

The hook blade is of good quality; if it were to be sold, it would definitely be 1,100 or more.

There was one strange thing: none of the seven demons had any inheritance. They didn't even have any ordinary cultivation techniques or spells, let alone any secret techniques for demon transformation.

Are the family rules of the Demon God Cult really that strict?

Lu Yang didn't know much about the Demon God Sect, and the Dao Academy didn't mention it much either, since demons were rarely seen in the previous four western prefectures.

This time it was just a coincidence; if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it.

After sorting and storing the items he had obtained from the seven demons, Lu Yang turned his attention to the storage bags of the rogue cultivators and the Fan family.

There were more than forty of them.

With so many storage bags, Lu Yang didn't know where to put them, so he roughly organized them beforehand by simply stuffing the contents of one storage bag into another.

After summarizing, there are five storage bags.

There's no way to reduce the number of storage bags anymore; they're all full.

Now that he finally had time to organize things carefully, Lu Yang's mouth went dry.

The twenty-odd rogue cultivators were actually quite poor. A mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator had five or six hundred spirit stones in his storage bag, while the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators among these rogue cultivators only had a little over one hundred spirit stones at most.

As for other items, there aren't many. Of all the items on his body, only the magical artifacts in his hands are worth a look.

But it's only worth a look. Even using a high-grade magic weapon in the late stage of Qi Refining isn't enough to match the whole set. Lu Yang is now increasingly understanding why aristocratic cultivators look down on rogue cultivators.

His earning ability was so poor that his cultivation techniques and spells were bound to be subpar, and the magical artifacts he used were also of a low level.

In this way, if a powerful family cultivator really wanted to bully a rogue cultivator, they could easily succeed.

If the quality isn't good enough, make up for it with quantity.

The twenty-odd independent cultivators combined could contribute quite a few spirit stones, probably over a thousand.

Upon examining the Fan family's possessions, Lu Yang immediately disregarded these rogue cultivators.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones.

A mere late-stage Qi Refining family has nearly ten thousand spirit stones. Are Qi Refining families really that rich?

Although it was obtained after their homes were raided, rather than simply from a dozen or so cultivators, it was still quite remarkable.

Previously, Lu Yang thought that this kind of Qi Refining family with only a dozen or so cultivators was actually similar to a group of rogue cultivators. Now, seeing that it has accumulated over several generations, he realizes that it has some real talent.

Moreover, there are quite a few first-tier spiritual items, which are worth several thousand spirit stones.

However, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that this is a treasure map?

"The legacy of Master Xuan Yang!"

Xuan Yang!

Isn't this his stuff?

So, the Foundation Establishment stage is called a superior being? Does that mean your Fan family really has a Foundation Establishment cave dwelling?

Although it was just a specific address and he hadn't received it yet, Lu Yang already felt that the Foundation Establishment Cave had flown into his bowl.

As for this Master Xuan Yang, to be honest, Lu Yang had never heard of him before. It was too long ago, and he wasn't even from this area.

The Western Four Counties are such a small place, the Foundation Establishment stage is the highest level, you can count them on your fingers. If any cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it will be recorded in the records of each family. But Xuan Yang Shangren has no record in the Lu family.

He shook his head. These were minor details; the important thing was to get the treasure.

He will leave after dealing with these sorcerers this time.

Wait a minute, no wonder the Fan family didn't go to retrieve the treasure. Lu Yang compared the map of the four western prefectures but couldn't find the specific location on the map.

So they really are from out of town.

The five eastern prefectures? Or even further away.

Could it be that he is going on a long trip?

Forget it, let's leave it for now and deal with those demons first.

"The Second Patriarch, the Third Patriarch."

Lu Yang watched Lu Changfeng and Lu Changkong land, somewhat surprised. Was it really that thorough?

The old patriarch of the family was too cautious. Lu Yang's last worry disappeared. He was really afraid that the old patriarchs would be busy with their own things, so he sent someone over.

Lu Changkong definitely can't do it. Those demons become stronger after demonization. Even if a demon in the early Foundation Establishment stage can't reach the mid Foundation Establishment stage after demonization, their strength won't be much different. Lu Changkong might not be able to defeat them.

Even if Lu Changfeng comes, it's not safe. After all, Lu Yang's information came from earlier. If something unexpected happens and Lu Changfeng gets bogged down, he'll be in trouble.

After boarding Lu Changfeng's spirit ship, Lu Yang recounted everything he knew, including the Black Lotus Sect.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changkong looked at Lu Yang with great interest.

"You're lucky, kid. Your trip has been more exciting than my decades of life. I haven't encountered many remnants of the Black Lotus Cult in all these years, and I've never even seen the Demon God Cult."

You've run into them all in just a few days. Seriously, kid, you've got some issues with your strength. How come those demons from the Demon God Cult are so easy to deal with?

""

Lu Changkong's gaze seemed to pierce through Lu Yang's heart. For the first time, Lu Yang felt that this Third Ancestor was even more insightful than Lu Changfeng.

It gave him the creeps.

"Hehe, you've got some skill, you've got some skill."

Lu Changkong didn't ask any more questions. "You're getting cocky now that I'm saying you're fat. It's good that you know how to hide your strength. It's in line with the tradition of our Lu family. That's how it is in cultivation. It's better to be good at hiding than to cultivate well."

This!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang immediately realized something and looked intently at Lu Changkong. Could it be that this Third Ancestor was also hiding his cultivation level?

Believe it or not, it's quite possible. Lu Guchu is clearly at the Golden Core stage, but he hides his cultivation level and only appears to be at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Changfeng is clearly in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but to outsiders he is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

With this push, it's clear that the Lu family has a long tradition of concealing one's cultivation level. It's quite possible that this Third Ancestor has actually hidden an even higher level of cultivation.

It's safe now, it's even more safe now.

Lu Yang took out the Thousand Spirit Silk and handed it to Lu Changkong to look at.

"Third Ancestor, take a look at this Thousand Spirit Silk. Could you refine a mid-grade spiritual weapon for me?"

If it were Lu Changkong in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, then this weapon-refining skill would be a waste of his Thousand Spirits Veil. It's his own ancestor, so why not use it? The Thousand Spirits Veil is still unrefined, yet it can conceal his figure, making him undetectable to anyone in the Qi Refining stage.

After being refined, it's reasonable that the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators wouldn't be able to detect it.

Looking at Lu Yang's appearance, Lu Changkong was secretly pleased with himself. Don't underestimate the power of a bean bun. Conceal your cultivation level, and you'll be the real master.

But when Lu Yang took out the Thousand Spirit Silk and said he wanted to refine a mid-grade spiritual weapon, Lu Changkong couldn't sit still.

"Wait, what's your cultivation level? And you even have a mid-grade spiritual artifact? Wait, where did you get the Thousand Spirit Veil? You're incredibly lucky!"

Lu Changkong grabbed the Thousand Spirit Silk, making Lu Yang's heart tremble. Lu Changkong examined the Thousand Spirit Silk for a while, and his face was indeed somewhat excited. When a weapon refiner gets good materials, it's like a rogue seeing a beautiful woman; he really likes them.

What a waste! A mere Qi Refining cultivator using over a thousand spirit threads—what a waste!

But faced with Lu Yang's pitiful gaze, Lu Changkong was helpless. "I know it's yours. I'm your third ancestor, how could I take your things? Tell me, what style do you want to practice?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was overjoyed, knowing that the Lu family's ancestors were all upright and honorable people.

Lu Yang took out a piece of paper and started drawing in a flurry of strokes.

"Ancestor, this is how it is."

Looking at Lu Yang's sketch, Lu Changkong thought, putting everything else aside, he was definitely handsome. The long robe style gave him a boss-like aura. How come he never realized before that this kid was so good at designing magical artifacts?

"Ahem, you do have some aesthetic sense, but crafting spiritual artifacts isn't something you can do just by having a spiritual material."

Just like this Thousand Spirit Silk, if you want to refine a mid-grade spiritual weapon without damaging its spiritual essence, you'll need to add at least two or three auxiliary materials, and these materials will need to be at least second-grade low-level.

You know the value of second-tier spiritual materials, right? Actually, I think you'd be better off selling this Thousand Spirit Silk to improve your cultivation. You won't even be able to use the spiritual artifact you forge.

Lu Yangka flung out a storage bag.

"Third Ancestor, is this enough for you?"

Lu Yang naturally knew the value of second-tier spiritual materials; even a single low-grade second-tier spiritual material would cost two or three thousand spirit stones or more.

But who can blame me when Mr. Lu has recently struck it rich?

Lu Changkong probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag, and his face couldn't help but twitch.

"Where did you get so many spirit stones, kid?"

Seeing Lu Yang's nonchalant expression, Lu Changkong was also annoyed, having let this kid put on airs.

Lu Changfeng found it amusing. "Didn't Xuan Yang just say that the Fan family still has more than twenty rogue cultivators? The demons of the Demon God Sect are probably all quite wealthy too. If they all add up, it'll be about the same. Third brother, you've miscalculated."

Lu Changkong was also a little depressed when he heard this. He really wanted Qian Lingsha. It was a pity that she was born into his Lu family. Otherwise, it would have been great to put her and Qian Lingsha into the cauldron together.

He put away the storage bag. "Since you have spirit stones, I won't let you keep them. You can use all 10,000 spirit stones on materials. Don't say I didn't take care of you, Third Ancestor. I won't charge you a fee for the work."

That's it!

Lu Yang quickly spoke well of the Third Ancestor, saying that he had obtained his first spiritual artifact without having to pay for its construction. He felt that the ancestor had not been forgotten.

However, Lu Yang still took back the Thousand Spirit Silk first, as he would need it during the battle later, and he could give it back when they returned.

As they spoke, the group approached the rocky forest.

It truly lives up to its name of "chaotic rocks." Looking down from above, the first thing you see is not trees but a jumble of rocks.
