Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 128 Cultivation Speed ​​Increase

In the following months, Lu Yang secluded himself at home, focusing on his cultivation and ignoring everything else.

However, while Lu Yang doesn't go out, Lu Chen frequently returns to the Dao Academy, so he's very well-informed.

"Brother, it seems like something bad is about to happen. The High Priest of Fengxi from the Southern Barbarians is dead, and now everyone is saying that our Lu family killed him. The clan seems to be on edge now, and several elders have already gone to Biannan County."

The matter of the High Priest of Wind's Breath is indeed impossible to quell.

Indeed, their strengths were not equal. If the Lu family were a Nascent Soul family, then it would have been deserved for the High Priest Fengxi to be killed for coming to cause trouble for Lu Guchu.

But the Lu family is only a Golden Core family. Even if you kill a Golden Core cultivator from a Nascent Soul faction on their territory, or even if they attack your Lu family, you can only obediently accept your death. This is the law of the jungle in the cultivation world.

This is only because the Lu family has the Qingyun Sect's support behind the scenes; otherwise, things would probably be even worse.

The Southern Barbarians have been gone for quite some time now, and the southern border region is gradually regaining a considerable population.

After all, it is a prefecture. Even if Nanfeng Prefecture is occupied by the Southern Barbarians, and even if the southern border is always affected by war, we can't just give up so much land and so many resources. It would be such a waste.

Therefore, under the leadership of the Lu family, a series of policies benefiting the people were implemented to guide people from other counties and even those outside the four western counties to migrate there.

Don't think that a world where cultivation reigns supreme means fewer disasters and a better life for the people. In fact, the opposite is true. In a world where power reigns supreme, order is the most unstable.

Today this family is destroyed, tomorrow that family is damaged, and the biggest victims are the common people. After all, if the cultivators release even a little bit of their power, all those common people will die.

As a result, many more people are displaced.

What they crave is stability, even if that stability is illusory or even poisoned. But when they can't even get enough to eat, they don't care about anything else.

The southern border region has abundant grain, land, and favorable policies, so why not go there?

The Lu family also needs this buffer zone, so they not only attract ordinary people but also actively guide independent cultivators to come here. The Lu family even supports any independent cultivators who are willing to establish a family or sect here.

The current situation is that the Lu family has given away most of the cultivation resources in Biannan County. This is a piece of fat meat. There are many cultivators who are afraid of death, but not many can resist this temptation.

Cultivators are also driven by self-interest; many are willing to risk their lives for the sake of cultivation.

Even a first-tier spiritual vein is given up by the Lu family, so why shouldn't they dare to go there?

Therefore, in many counties and towns of Biannan Prefecture, there are now independent cultivators who have established sects or families. As long as a Qi Refining Peak cultivator is willing to establish a force, they will be given a first-order spiritual vein.

As a result, there is now a sense of revival in the southern border region.

Whether the Southern Barbarians saw this opportunity and wanted to harvest another crop, or whether they had already made sufficient preparations and wanted to take over Nanzhou, remains to be seen.

Lu Yang's eyes were deep and unfathomable. To be honest, the feeling of being weaker in cultivation and less powerful than others was indeed not very comfortable.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes, it's something that happened in Liangzhou. I don't know how it got here. Tsk tsk tsk, brother, you know about the Vajra Temple, right?"

Vajra Temple!

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. "What happened to the Vajra Temple?"

"Hey, everyone says that the Vajra Temple is just a Buddhist temple that does all sorts of dirty things. Well, they got their comeuppance. A top-tier ghost king went to cause them trouble and destroyed half of the Vajra Temple. They even killed a Golden Core cultivator."

Even the ancestor at the peak of the Golden Core stage was injured and still couldn't defeat the two ghost kings.

Moreover, those two ghost kings clearly have no intention of letting them go; they've settled down in Liangzhou and are attacking the Vajra Temple every now and then. This time, the Vajra Temple is probably in for trouble.

"Two ghost kings?"

"Hmm, a female ghost and a child ghost, they're both very fierce."

A female ghost! A child!

That child is also a ghost king!

This is really quite fierce. Fortunately, this mother and son did not come from the four western prefectures, otherwise, the Lu family of Qingcang would probably be history by now.

Jinlou, oh Jinlou, what kind of thing have you raised? Even the sects that specialize in raising ghosts would have to admit defeat if they knew about this.

Beside the sacred field.

At this moment, the ten acres of spirit fields in front of Lu Yang were fully mature. As for the three hundred acres of newly developed fields, they were also filled with spiritual energy. After returning, Lu Yang put those spirit vein beads into these spirit fields.

With the nurturing of spiritual veins, it's possible that these 300 mu of spiritual fields, while not comparable to the previous 10 mu, could reach the level of the 300 mu of spiritual fields outside Canglan County.

The future is promising, the future is promising indeed.

Lu Yang harvested the mature spirit grains directly, and another batch of spirit fish in the spirit lake also matured. The twenty-five acres of fish ponds he developed were used to raise ordinary aquatic animals, which matured even faster.

So after this harvest, Lu Yang's fortunes immediately surged, accumulating for a century.

A hundred years of fortune! Putting aside how much cultivation can improve him, even if the Southern Barbarians invade Qingcang Mountain, Lu Yang should still have a glimmer of hope if he exhausts this hundred years of fortune.

Woof woof woof——

After becoming the guardian spirit beast of Qingcang Mountain, Shi Ri ran over with great joy and seemed to have let loose a bit, but his improvement was truly remarkable.

Several months ago, his cultivation level was boosted to the peak of the first rank in one go, but it was still somewhat unstable. Now it has completely settled down, and if this continues, he is probably not far from breaking through to the second rank.

If the spirit beast is like this, then he, as its master, also needs to work harder.

Sitting cross-legged beside the spirit field, Lu Yang swallowed a Spirit Enhancement Pill.

In the early stages of Qi Refining, use the Nourishing Spirit Pill; in the middle stages, use the Enriching Spirit Pill; in the late stages, use the Thickening Spirit Pill; and at the peak of Qi Refining, use the Enhancing Spirit Pill.

Its value is increasing; this Spirit Enhancement Pill alone costs three hundred spirit stones.

Everyone says that cultivation is easy, you can just take pills at worst, but do you think these pills are easy to obtain?

One Spirit Enhancement Pill costs three hundred spirit stones. Even with Lu Yang's level of cultivation, if he only takes one a month, he would still have to spend several thousand spirit stones.

For ordinary cultivators with weaker spiritual roots, how many spirit stones would it take to push their cultivation to the threshold of Foundation Establishment?

Therefore, there are very few people who can actually consume one pill a month like Lu Yang.

Lu Yang obtained his Spirit Enhancement Pills through a clan exchange, since most of the Spirit Enhancement Pills available for purchase outside were distributed by the Lu family.

The quality is very ordinary. The Lu family kept the superior spirit-enhancing pills for their own use, and they could only be exchanged for contribution points.

The price is reasonable, though, only 300 contribution points.

Three hundred spirit stones is the price of a regular Spirit Enhancement Pill. To buy a high-grade Spirit Enhancement Pill, you'll need at least five hundred spirit stones.

It's always better to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

After swallowing a Spirit Enhancement Pill, Lu Yang circulated the Kunlun Sword Technique, refining the spiritual energy within his body and transforming it into Kunlun Sword Qi.

At this moment, there were already eighty sword energies within Lu Yang's sword seed.

In just a few months, another thirty sword energies were added, and the spiritual energy increased by almost one unit per day, which can be described as fast.

A wisp of spirit-devouring sword intent lingered around the sword seed, which was the reason why Lu Yang's cultivation was so fast.

Lu Yang hadn't expected that the Soul Devouring Sword Intent would have such a function.

With the blessing of the Soul-Devouring Sword Intent, Lu Yang's speed of absorbing spiritual energy has increased significantly. Not only is his speed of absorbing pills faster, but his efficiency in absorbing external spiritual energy is also unprecedented.

Lu Yang finally understood how that prodigy could cultivate so quickly. Wasn't that one of his cheat codes? Unfortunately, it was his now.

Sure enough, after swallowing a Spirit Enhancement Pill, the first absorption was the most efficient. With the blessing of the Spirit Devouring Sword Intent, another stream of sword energy flowed within Lu Yang's sword seed.

Eighty-one steps. At this rate, it won't be long before he breaks through to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

His gaze fell on Shi Ri. If this guy could push himself and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage sooner, he might be able to carry him. "Xuan Yang, come here."

Yes! It's Lu Guchu!

Lu Yang noticed that after meeting Lu Guchu once, he started seeing Lu Guchu more and more often.

And so, he was summoned by the patriarch again, but he didn't know why Lu Guchu had summoned him this time.

The Great Ancestor's Cave.

Lu Yang rushed over, only to find that he wasn't the only one there. Lu Changfeng, Lu Changkong, Lu Qingren, and Lu Qingwu were also there.

Lu Yang had more contact with Lu Qingwen, but very little contact with Lu Qingwu. He had definitely met Lu Guchu less often than Lu Yang had.

This person who coordinates the demon-hunting team also controls Qingling Peak, making him a high-ranking and powerful figure in the Lu family. Most importantly, among the nine elders, Lu Qingwu is the only one of the Qing generation, and like Lu Qingren, he is the leader of the Qing generation.

In the Lu family, when people mention Lu Qingwen, they all use one word: "fierce".

However, when people mention his elder brother Lu Qingwu, they can think of many things. Although he is named Wu (meaning martial arts), he is actually very cultured. He is good at planning and strategizing and can win battles from afar. The Lu family's demon hunting team has developed so well, and most of the credit should probably go to Lu Qingwu.

As for his cultivation level, it is said that he was already at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and now he is...

Lu Yang didn't look at him for long; there were so many people, he had to be careful about his appearance. But Lu Qingwu's aura was clearly not what one would expect from someone in the Qi Refining Realm. Could it be that he had also broken through?

"Greetings, Ancestor, Clan Chief, Ninth Elder."

Lu Guchu nodded upon hearing this. "Xuanyang, I asked you to come here today because there's something I need to discuss with you."

Discuss it? With him? Does he have that much shame?

Seemingly noticing the confusion on Lu Yang's face, Lu Guchu smiled and said, "Since it involves the Chaotic Stone Forest, you have a share in it. Our Lu family isn't a one-man show, so your opinion is also very important."

The Stone Forest? Wasn't that all over? Why bring it up again? Could it be that the Demon God Cult has returned?

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty. I will do my best to cooperate if you need anything from me."

Lu Gu was even more satisfied with Lu Yang's attitude. "You should have also noticed the special nature of the Chaotic Stone Forest. I noticed something was wrong in the strange formation. After returning, I investigated again and indeed found some problems."

This rocky forest must have been a hidden paradise in the past.
