Chapter 151 The Land of Inheritance (Please Subscribe!)
Although the battle between the Ancient Desolate Sect and the demonic beasts within the Hong'e Mountains has subsided, the areas where both sides are located remain extremely dangerous.

For this reason, Shi Ningyu preferred to take a longer route to avoid the battleground between the Ancient Desolate Sect and the demonic beasts of the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

The legacy cave left by the third-tier weapon refiner is located deep within the Hong'e Mountains. Even though the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains have been summoned by the Demon King, there are still a large number of demonic beasts in the mountains.

This is because the Demon King of Hong'e Mountain Range did not summon all the demon beasts in the mountain range, and there are still many demon beasts scattered in Hong'e Mountain Range.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu are still nearly a thousand miles away from the inheritance cave left by the third-tier weapon refiner, and it will not be an easy task for them to cross over there.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please take this Demon Breath Pill. We will enter the Hong'e Mountains after we have refined its medicinal power." Shi Ningyu looked at the deep forest ahead, a solemn expression appearing on her face.

Their combined strength was more than enough to withstand the second-tier demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, but the Hong'e Mountains contained more than just second-tier demonic beasts.

This place is home not only to numerous third-tier demonic beasts comparable to Golden Core cultivators, but also to fourth-tier demonic kings comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Demon Breath Pill is of the second-tier top grade. After refining the medicinal power of the Demon Breath Pill, human cultivators can change the aura they emit, simulating the aura of a second-tier perfect realm demon beast.

This period can last for a month. If judged solely by aura, even a third-tier demonic beast cannot see through the true nature of a cultivator who has taken the Demon Breath Pill.

Although there are quite a few third-tier demonic beasts in the Hong'e Mountains, the probability of Lu Cheng'an and his companion directly encountering one is extremely low.

By using the Demon Breath Pill to alter the aura they exude, coupled with the methods they cultivate to conceal their whereabouts, they can avoid encountering many troubles.

After learning about the effects of the Demon Breath Pill from Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu took the Demon Breath Pill together and then began to quickly refine its medicinal power.

The medicinal power of the Demon Breath Pill was not difficult to refine. Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu refined all the medicinal power of the Demon Breath Pill about a quarter of an hour after taking it.

At this moment, the aura emanating from the two of them changed drastically, and the two of them became like two monstrous beasts containing extremely terrifying power.

After sensing the aura emanating from each other, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu exchanged a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's enter the Hong'e Mountains now and head to the legacy cave left behind by that third-tier weapon refiner!"

Shi Ningyu chuckled softly, and the moment her voice fell, she used the Jade God Illusion Step technique to quickly rush into the Hong'e Mountains.

The Jade God Illusion Step is a movement technique, and its main function is to increase the speed of cultivators.

The Hong'e Mountains are teeming with monsters, so Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu naturally dared not fly on their swords within the mountains.

Using techniques like the Jade God Illusion Step to travel is the best option.

Among the second-tier techniques Lu Cheng'an cultivated, only the Concealment Technique was similar to the Jade God Illusion Step.

However, the main function of the Concealment Technique is to hide the cultivator's whereabouts, so it is much weaker in terms of increasing speed.

However, Lu Cheng'an cultivated this technique to perfection, while Shi Ningyu only cultivated the Jade God Illusion Step to the advanced stage.

Therefore, their travel speeds were not much different.

A distance of a thousand miles is not far for cultivators like Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu who are at the Foundation Establishment stage; it's just that the environment of the Hong'e Mountains is quite dangerous.

This danger comes not only from the various monsters living in the mountains, but also from the dangerous environment of the mountains themselves.

The Hong'e Mountains are lush with vegetation and sparsely populated.

The spiritual energy nourished the plants, causing them to grow increasingly vigorous, almost to the point of transforming into demons.

Dead branches and fallen leaves accumulate in the mountains and forests year after year, and in certain special areas, they form miasma containing high levels of poison.

Some miasma contains extremely potent toxins, which even Golden Core cultivators may not be able to neutralize.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were not particularly familiar with the Hong'e Mountains. They not only had to be wary of the monsters that might appear in the mountains at any time, but also had to be careful of other dangers in the mountains.

Therefore, they did not travel very fast; it took them two days to successfully reach the distance of a thousand li.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the location of the inheritance cave left behind by that third-tier weapon refiner!"

Shi Ningyu's gaze fell on two extremely thick trees in front of her. These two trees were hundreds of feet tall, with their dense canopies overlapping and covering the entire sky.

Even in broad daylight, the area beneath these two large trees remains as dark as night.

Standing beneath the two large trees, Shi Ningyu silently sensed them for a moment before taking out a palm-sized token from her storage bracelet.

After she activated the magical artifact and raised the token, the situation between the two dark tree trunks underwent a tremendous change.

Wisps of bluish-green mist emerged, and the light emanating from the token parted them, forming a narrow, winding path that led nowhere.

"This bluish-green mist is miasma!"

Lu Cheng'an felt a chill run down his spine after sensing the potent poisonous gas contained within the bluish-green mist.

These miasmas are extremely toxic, and if he were to accidentally come into contact with them, it would be very difficult to neutralize them.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's now pass through this path and enter the cave!"

After the narrow path appeared, Shi Ningyu immediately put away the token she had used and then entered the narrow path.

Upon hearing Shi Ningyu's voice, Lu Cheng'an immediately followed behind her.

This path, filled with miasma, is not long, only about a hundred feet.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they passed through the miasma-filled path. At this moment, their surroundings changed dramatically.

A hill about a hundred feet high appeared before Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu. The spiritual energy on the hill was extremely rich, but no vegetation grew there.

If you look closely at the hill, you will find that there are faint runes on it.

This is not a real hill, but a magic artifact of extremely high quality.

This hill, or rather this extremely high-grade magical artifact, is the inheritance cave of that third-tier artifact refiner.

"Yu Nanting, you vixen, how dare you show your face here!"

As soon as Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu arrived at the hill, they heard an angry shout.

The one who uttered this angry shout was a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes, whose cultivation level was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, while beside him was a young man dressed in a white robe.

Although the young man looked much younger than the middle-aged man, his cultivation was far superior, having already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. "Senior Brother Su, she is the demoness Yu Nanting I was talking about! Junior Brother Dong died at the hands of this demoness!" the middle-aged man roared.

The "Senior Brother Su" mentioned by the middle-aged man was Su Yu from the Hundred Weapons Sect, whom Shi Ningyu had previously mentioned to Lu Cheng'an.

The Hundred Artifacts Sect is a Golden Core sect, and it is also a sect that excels at crafting magical artifacts.

Currently, there are still five Golden Core cultivators in the Hundred Weapons Sect, with the most powerful being the Grand Elder of the Hundred Weapons Sect, whose cultivation has reached the late Golden Core stage. Their strength is undeniably formidable.

Su Yu is a Golden Core seed cultivated by the Hundred Weapons Sect. He not only has outstanding talent in cultivation, but also has exceptional talent in weapon crafting. He is now a second-tier top-grade weapon crafter.

The middle-aged man behind him was named Chang Tong. Although he had the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage, his strength was much weaker.

Chang Tong's shout and the appearance of Lu Cheng'an and his companion instantly attracted the attention of the cultivators below the hill.

Now, it's not just Lu Cheng'an and the two from the Hundred Weapons Sect who have entered this place; there are also four other cultivators around.

All four cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage. Two of them were cultivators from the Kongming Sect, and the leader was Tie Chi, whom Shi Ningyu had mentioned before.

Tie Chi's cultivation level was also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. His strength was comparable to Su Yu's, and even slightly stronger.

Beside Tie Chi was a beautiful female cultivator dressed in a pink palace dress. This female cultivator was also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but her strength was much weaker than Tie Chi's.

The female cultivator in the pink dress was Ji Zhijun, Tie Chi's junior sister. She was a second-tier top-grade weapon refiner.

The Kongming Sect, from which they both came, was more powerful than the Baiqi Sect, with six Golden Core cultivators in charge.

Moreover, two of these six Golden Core cultivators were at the late Golden Core stage.

Finally, both of them were at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage, but the aura they exuded was much weaker than that of Tie Chi and Su Yu.

These two men are named Zhou Liang and Shen Yunhui, and they are both independent cultivators.

They started cultivating together when they were at the Qi Refining stage, regarding each other as fellow Daoists, and have supported each other all the way to where they are now.

Shen Yunhui is a second-tier top-grade weapon refiner, but his strength is much weaker than Zhou Liang's.

Over the years, Shen Yunhui has received a lot of protection from Zhou Liang. In return, he will share the cultivation resources he earns from refining magical artifacts with Zhou Liang.

Both of them came from humble backgrounds as independent cultivators, so they valued this third-tier weapon refiner's inheritance more than Su Yu and the others.

Su Yu and the others originally came from a Golden Core sect. Even if they did not receive the inheritance here, they still had a great chance of becoming Golden Core cultivators.

However, for Zhou Liang and Shen Yunhui, the inheritance here was their only hope of breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

When the people below the hill saw Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu suddenly appear, they developed a great deal of hostility towards them.

Shi Ningyu's gaze fell on Chang Tong, and a chilling smile appeared on her face: "Why wouldn't I dare to show up here? You should be the one who's afraid. If you hadn't run away quickly last time, you would be reunited with your Junior Brother Dong underground by now!"

To enter this legacy site left behind by a third-tier weapon refiner, a special legacy token is required.

Shi Ningyu should have received two tokens, but unfortunately, after she obtained the inheritance token, Chang Tong and another person from the Hundred Weapons Sect found out about it.

At that time, Shi Ningyu was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while Chang Tong and the other person were both at the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

In the end, Shi Ningyu lost a legacy token, but she also managed to kill one and seriously injure the other of the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Hundred Weapons Sect.

If Fei Changtong had finally unleashed a top-tier second-order defensive talisman, he too would have died at Shi Ningyu's hands.

Yu Nanting was Shi Ningyu's alias when she was out in public, since the Dan Ding Sect, from which she came, was not particularly powerful.

If the Hundred Weapons Sect discovers her true identity, they might take action against the Pill Cauldron Sect.

"What a sharp-tongued vixen! I wonder if your strength is as impressive as your mouth!" Su Yu sneered.

He looked at Shi Ningyu and Lu Cheng'an with a cold gaze, already condemning them both to death in his heart.

However, he has not yet made a move. His main purpose in coming here is to obtain the inheritance of the third-tier weapon refiner.

His opponents are not limited to these two. If he were to fight with Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an now, it would definitely not be a good thing for him.

Zhou Liang and the other three kept glancing at Lu Cheng'an and Su Yu, hoping that Lu Cheng'an and Su Yu would make a move now, so that they would have two fewer powerful opponents.

However, the people here are not fools; they will not make a move before the inheritance ground of the third-tier weapon refiner is opened.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were not the last to arrive. Nearly an hour after they arrived, the miasma passage stirred again, and two young men dressed in black walked out of the passage.

These two were cultivators from the Tianyan Sect, one of whom was Xu Ran, whom Shi Ningyu had mentioned before.

Xu Ran's cultivation level was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. The Foundation Establishment cultivator who came with him was named Chen Yuan, who was also at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Xu Ran and Chen Yuan were both at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, they were not Golden Core seeds of the Tianyan Sect. Their strength was much weaker than that of people like Su Yu and Tie Chi.

Xu Ran and Chen Yuan's strength is comparable to Zhou Liang and Shen Yunhui, but since they both come from Golden Core sects, they may have some unexpected trump cards up their sleeves.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's activate the inheritance here as soon as possible. What do you all think?" Tie Chi said in a deep voice.

The Kongming Sect, from which Tie Chi originated, was the most powerful sect among the cultivators present, and Tie Chi himself was also the strongest among the cultivators present.

These cultivators who held inheritance tokens knew how many inheritance tokens had been distributed, which is why Tie Chi directly said he wanted to open the inheritance site left by the third-tier weapon refiner after Xu Ran arrived.

"I have no objection, so let's listen to Fellow Daoist Tie and open the Inheritance Site now!" Su Yu said with a smile.

The group ventured into the Hong'e Mountains, infested with monsters, all for the sake of the legacy left behind by a third-tier weapon refiner.

Now that the conditions for opening the inheritance site have been met, everyone naturally will not delay any longer.

Therefore, after Tie Chi proposed to open the Inheritance Ground now, Su Yu and the others quickly agreed.

At this moment, Tie Chi took out a token from his storage ring. This token was the same as the one that Shi Ningyu had held earlier.

After Tie Chi summoned the token, a crimson light immediately emerged from it.
