Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Master Tianyun's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His Myriad Ghost Banner also contains a mid-stage fifth-order ghost and two early-stage fifth-order ghosts. With the assistance of these three fifth-order ghosts, ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for him.

Biluo Yuanjun's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. She only raised one Extreme Yin Xuan Ghost at the early stage of the fifth rank. This ghost is extremely powerful and is stronger than Biluo Yuanjun herself when fighting at full strength.

Biluo Yuanjun is the youngest of the four early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Yinhua Sect, but she is the strongest among them and has the best chance of breaking through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

This time, Master Tianyun left Yinhua Sect with Biluo Yuanjun to accept the invitation from Hongying Yuanjun of Yuling Sect.

The Desire Spirit Sect is the most powerful sect in Dreamland, and the Crimson Cherry Sovereign is the only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Dreamland.

Her invitation to the cultivators of Yin Hua Sect and Tian Shi Sect to Yu Ling Sect was mainly to discuss how to deal with the attack by the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture.

The demon who attacked Mengyuan Prefecture this time was Jingshui Huanmo, one of the four late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yuanmo Sect.

Both Hongying Yuanjun and Jingshui Huanmo are at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but Jingshui Huanmo is backed by Yuanshui Laomu, who is at the perfect Nascent Soul realm, so her strength is a notch above Hongying Yuanjun's.

The situation in Mengyuan Prefecture, Qianyuan Prefecture, and the other three prefectures is currently relatively stable. This attack on Mengyuan Prefecture by the demonic cultivators of Yuanshui Demon Sect led by Jingshui Huanmo is just a routine attack and does not necessarily mean that they want to fight to the death with the immortal cultivation sects in Mengyuan Prefecture.

Even so, the attack launched by the late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator Pure Water Illusion Demon was still taken very seriously by the three sects of the Desire Spirit Sect.

As soon as Hongying Yuanjun learned of this news, she immediately summoned cultivators from Yinhua Sect and Tianshi Sect to discuss how to resolve the matter.

After entering the Ancestral Hall, the Old Monster of Miyin immediately told the three Nascent Soul cultivators who remained in the sect about his experiences in the Netherworld.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators are Li Changfeng, Xie Yun, and Jin Yuming. Li Changfeng's cultivation is at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, while the other two are at the early Nascent Soul stage.

"Those two ghosts from Wanhe Palace are truly useless; they were actually wiped out by the ghosts from Qingluo City!"

After learning about the situation in the Netherworld, Li Changfeng's brows immediately furrowed.

Now that the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture are about to launch an attack on Mengyuan Prefecture, it is really not appropriate for anything else to happen at this time.

However, Miyin told them that Wanhe Palace, which had always cooperated with them in the Netherworld, had been destroyed, and now their transactions with the ghosts of the Netherworld would be subject to many unexpected twists and turns.

"If what you say is true, then we will not fight over the Taixu Divine Fruit. It is really not worth it to risk entering the Netherworld for the Taixu Divine Fruit."

After a slight pause, Li Changfeng continued, "We will cooperate with Qingluo City in the same way we cooperated with Wanhe Palace before. If the ghosts in Qingluo City disagree, we will continue to negotiate with them. We must strive to secure the greatest benefit for our sect."

"There's no need to rush this matter. We can discuss it slowly with the ghosts of Qingluo City. As for that cultivator from the mortal world named Lu Cheng'an you mentioned, continue to invite him to become a guest elder of the sect. I will inform the sect leader about these matters later. The specific conditions to offer will need to be decided by the sect leader!"

Li Changfeng quickly made arrangements. His idea was that there was no need to rush things regarding the Netherworld. Everything would be dealt with after they had repelled the attack of the demonic cultivators from Qianyuan Prefecture.

The old monster of the Lost Sound did not enter the Netherworld directly, but waited for their sect leader's reply.

The sect leader of Yin Hua Sect was discussing with Hong Ying Yuanjun and other Nascent Soul cultivators how to resist the attack of the demonic cultivators from Qian Yuan Prefecture, and did not immediately reply to Li Changfeng.

It wasn't until a day later that Li Changfeng received a reply from Master Tianyun.

Master Tianyun's idea was similar to Li Changfeng's; he also agreed to the conditions offered by Lu Cheng'an to serve as a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect.

Yin Hua Sect can provide Lu Cheng'an with a cave dwelling for his daily needs. Every three years, Yin Hua Sect will provide Lu Cheng'an with five hundred spirit pearls and two fifth-grade low-level pure yang magic pills.

Spirit pearls are formed from spiritual veins of the fifth rank or higher. The spiritual energy contained in spirit pearls is purer than that in spirit stones, and they are more suitable for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or higher to refine and absorb.

Pure Yang Elixir is the most common elixir used to assist Nascent Soul cultivators in their cultivation, but that does not mean that Pure Yang Elixir is not valuable.

The conditions offered by Yin Huazong to invite Lu Cheng'an to become a guest elder were not low.

Correspondingly, after enjoying the benefits provided by Yin Hua Zong, Lu Cheng'an also needs to pay a certain price.

Just like now, Mengyuan Prefecture is about to be attacked by the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture. As a guest elder of Yinhua Sect, Lu Cheng'an must join the Nascent Soul cultivators of Yinhua Sect to resist the attack of the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

Of course, if Lu Cheng'an's life were in danger, he would still prioritize his own life.

Because Lu Cheng'an was only a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect, the conditions offered by the Yin Hua Sect were not enough to make Lu Cheng'an risk his life.

After receiving the message from Master Tianyun, Li Changfeng immediately relayed the news to Old Monster Miyin.

After that, the Old Monster of Miyin did not stay at Yinhua Sect, and he entered the Netherworld again.

At this time, Lu Cheng'an and the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor were still staying at Wanhe Palace.

The interdimensional passage within Wanhe Palace was now guarded by a subordinate trusted by the Green-Faced Ghost King. After the Old Monster of Miyin emerged from the interdimensional passage, the ghost cultivator guarding it immediately informed the Green-Faced Ghost King of the Old Monster of Miyin's arrival.

The Green-Faced Ghost King is still handling various affairs left behind by Wanhe Palace, but after learning that the Old Monster of Miyin had returned, he immediately took Lu Cheng'an to see the Old Monster of Miyin.

"Fellow Daoist Miyin has returned so quickly. I wonder what decision your sect's mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has made?" the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor asked with a smile.

"Please understand, Fellow Daoist Qingmian, that the Boundless Wasteland is too dangerous for cultivators in our mortal world. Our sect's mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are unwilling to enter such a perilous place as the Boundless Wasteland to harvest the Taixu Divine Fruit!" Old Monster Miyin said truthfully.

The Green-Faced Ghost King nodded slightly. He was somewhat disappointed, but he had already guessed this outcome, since the Old Monster of Bewitching Sound had given him a warning before leaving.

"Our sect leader asked me to tell Fellow Daoist Qingmian that the transaction between our Yin Hua Sect and Wanhe Palace can be completely transferred to Qingluo City. This is the content of our previous transaction with Wanhe Palace. Fellow Daoist Qingmian can take a look. If you have any questions, you can tell me directly!"

The Old Monster of Miyin took out a jade slip from his storage artifact. This jade slip recorded various transactions between the Yin Hua Sect and the Wanhe Palace. After receiving the jade slip, the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor quickly began to examine its contents.

"As expected, Wanhe Palace is trading various raw materials with Yinhua Sect. It's a pity that Zishuang and Xueyun don't make good use of these raw materials. Otherwise, they could definitely earn more resources by relying on them!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King was not particularly surprised when he saw the details of the transaction between Wanhe Palace and Yinhua Sect recorded in the jade slip.

The only things that cultivators in the Netherworld and cultivators in the mortal world can trade are various materials that can be used by cultivators in both worlds.

Some materials have unique formation and growth environments, such as the Earth Soul Fruit, a treasure.

Earth Soul Fruits can grow in both the Netherworld and the mortal world, but the environment in the Netherworld is more suitable for the growth of Earth Soul Trees. This results in a higher yield of Earth Soul Fruits in the Netherworld, and therefore a relatively lower price.

However, the Earth Soul Tree in the mortal world grows very slowly, and the number of Earth Soul Fruits it produces is also very small, which makes the Earth Soul Fruits very expensive in the mortal world.

The previous transaction between Yin Hua Sect and Wanhe Palace involved reselling treasures with huge price differences between the two realms.

“I can agree to all the conditions your sect has set. However, I have just taken over the power of Wanhe Palace, and it may take me three years to prepare all the items that Wanhe Palace and your sect are trading for!” said the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

Although he killed Zishuang and Xueyun, two fifth-tier ghosts of Wanhe Palace, taking over all the power of Wanhe Palace was not an easy task.

Bordering Wanhe Palace are Hanshuang Sect and Minglian Sect. The strength of these two sects is comparable to that of Wanhe Palace, and each sect has two early-stage fifth-order ghosts in charge.

Both sects also possess jade talismans issued by the Underworld Sect for entering the Boundless Wasteland. Currently, the fifth-tier ghosts from both sects have entered the Boundless Wasteland and have not yet returned to their sects.

However, even after the destruction of Wanhe Palace, the things that the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor is doing within the territory of Wanhe Palace have still been discovered by the cultivators of Hanshuang Sect and Minglian Sect.

The cultivators who remained in these two sects reacted quickly, with the Nether Lotus Sect seizing a Xuan Yin Sand Mine that originally belonged to the Myriad Rivers Palace.

The Xuan Yin Sinking Sand Mine can produce Xuan Yin Sinking Sand ranging from low-grade to mid-grade of the fifth rank, and Xuan Yin Sinking Sand is also one of the main items traded between Wanhe Palace and Yinhua Sect.

The Green-Faced Ghost King had just dealt with the invasion of the Frost Sect, and had not yet had time to reclaim the Profound Yin Sand Mine from the Nether Lotus Sect cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Qingmian, there's no need to rush the transaction. Once you have prepared the items, you can send your cultivators into the interdimensional passage. The other end of the passage is right inside our Yin Hua Sect's mountain gate, so there's no need to worry about any problems!" Old Monster Miyin said with a smile.

After finalizing the deal with the Green-Faced Ghost King, the Old Monster of Mystic Sound turned his gaze to Lu Cheng'an and then said to the Green-Faced Ghost King, "Fellow Daoist Green-Faced, may I speak with Fellow Daoist Lu alone?"

After glancing at Lu Cheng'an, the Green-Faced Ghost King smiled and said, "I just remembered that I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave this to you two!"

After the Green-Faced Ghost King left, the Mystic Old Monster smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, saying, "I have already informed the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect about Fellow Daoist Lu's situation. They also want Fellow Daoist Lu to become a guest elder of our Yin Hua Sect. If Fellow Daoist Lu agrees to become a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect, our Yin Hua Sect can provide Fellow Daoist Lu with..."

The old monster of the Miyin Sect quickly explained the conditions offered by the Yin Hua Sect to Lu Cheng'an and sincerely extended an invitation to him.

“I can agree to become a guest elder of your sect, but I have one condition: if I ever wish to become a guest elder of your sect, you must not stop me!” Lu Cheng’an said.

Lu Cheng'an now has a certain understanding of the situation around Yin Hua Sect. Currently, the human and demon cultivators from the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture are working together to deal with the demonic cultivators from Qianyuan Prefecture.

His becoming a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect was not much different from becoming a guest elder of any other sect.

Moreover, the Yin Hua Sect has a passage to the Netherworld. Based on this condition alone, becoming a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect is currently the best choice.

"Fellow Daoist Lu can rest assured, we will not hinder any of Fellow Daoist Lu's decisions!" Old Monster Miyin immediately said with a smile.

Among the Nascent Soul sects in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture, the Yin Hua Sect is the weakest. Although Lu Cheng'an is only a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, the addition of such a cultivator will still significantly boost the strength of the Yin Hua Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lu has been staying in the Netherworld for quite some time now. When does Fellow Daoist Lu plan to leave the Netherworld?" Old Monster Miyin asked with a smile.

The Pure Water Illusion Demon is about to lead the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture to attack Mengyuan Prefecture. If Lu Cheng'an were to become a guest elder of their Yinhua Sect now, the pressure on their Yinhua Sect would be somewhat reduced.

“I need to stay in the Netherworld for a while longer. Fellow Daoist Qingmian still needs me to handle some matters for him!” Lu Cheng’an said.

The Green-Faced Ghost King did not want Lu Cheng'an to leave for the time being, so he specially gave Lu Cheng'an a fifth-grade mid-level Yin Soul Jade to refine.

The fifth-grade, mid-level Yin Soul Jade is extremely valuable. If a Nascent Soul cultivator wears this item on their body for a long time, it can slowly increase their primordial spirit power.

The Yin Soul Jade is merely the initial raw material. If it is refined into a magic weapon, its effect on enhancing the primordial spirit power of Nascent Soul cultivators will be even greater.

However, the Yin Soul Jade is only of the middle grade of the fifth rank, and Lu Cheng'an's current refining skills are not enough to refine materials of this grade.

The reason why the Green-Faced Ghost King entrusted such a precious fifth-grade mid-level Yin Soul Jade to Lu Cheng'an for refinement was mainly because the Yin Soul Jade could perfectly conceal Lu Cheng'an's aura.

As long as Lu Cheng'an puts the Yin Soul Jade into his primordial spirit, even a late-stage fifth-order ghost cultivator wouldn't be able to tell that Lu Cheng'an is a cultivator from the mortal world.

The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor guessed that the two early-stage fifth-order Ghost Emperors of the Underworld Lotus Sect had returned from the Boundless Wasteland. If he wanted to reclaim the Xuan Yin Sinking Sand Mine, he could only rely on Lu Cheng'an's power.

The two early-stage fifth-tier ghosts of the Underworld Lotus Sect were stronger than Zi Shuang and Xue Yun. The Green-Faced Ghost Emperor was no match for the two fifth-tier ghosts of the Underworld Lotus Sect on his own.

If the Underworld Lotus Sect were to uncover the true extent of the Azure-Faced Ghost Emperor's power, then what the Azure-Faced Ghost Emperor might have lost would not just be a Xuan Yin Sand Mine.

It was for this reason that the Green-Faced Ghost King entrusted Lu Cheng'an with such a precious fifth-grade mid-level Yin Soul Jade for its refinement. (End of Chapter)
