Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"I won't waste words with Fellow Daoist Lu. The main reason I've come to see you is to request your assistance in Blackrock City. These past few years..."

The old monster of the Miyin clan did not hide anything from Lu Cheng'an, but told him the truth about Black Rock City.

This information is not a secret; if Lu Cheng'an goes to Black Rock City, he will soon be able to learn about it.

The old monster of the Miyin Sect's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and he felt slightly nervous.

He had already told Lu Cheng'an the details of Black Rock City, and he didn't know what choice Lu Cheng'an would make.

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The situation in Blackrock City was more dangerous than he had imagined, but it was also within his expectations.

The invitation from Yin Hua Sect was within his expectations, and he already had his answer in mind.

"I can agree to go to Blackrock City to provide support, but I have one request: after the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture retreat, I want your sect to do everything in its power to help me find the essence blood of a fifth-tier fire-attribute demonic bird, a fifth-tier Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood, and a fifth-tier Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"

"Your sect only needs to provide me with information about these three spiritual items. As long as you agree to this condition, I will allow you to go to Black Rock City!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He agreed to become a guest elder of the Yin Hua Sect, and also had the intention of finding spiritual items such as the essence blood of a fifth-order fire-attribute demonic bird.

The essence blood of a fifth-order fire-attribute demonic bird, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, and the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood are all relatively rare fifth-order spiritual items. If Lu Cheng'an were to rely on his own strength to search for them, it would be very difficult to find these three spiritual items.

Yin Hua Sect is a long-established Nascent Soul sect, and currently there are still five Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect.

If they agree to help find these three spiritual objects, Lu Cheng'an might find it very difficult to find out any information about them.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an dared to agree to Yin Huazong's request to go to Black Rock City because he had a certain degree of confidence in his own strength.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators left behind by the Yin Hua Sect were all at the early Nascent Soul stage. Lu Cheng'an had never actually seen these three early Nascent Soul cultivators make a move, but he could sense that their strength was still somewhat inferior to his own.

The strength of the Nascent Soul cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture and the strength of the Xuanxu Daoist should be roughly the same.

Lu Cheng'an felt that even if he couldn't kill the Nascent Soul demon cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture, he didn't need to worry about being killed by the Nascent Soul demon cultivators of Mengyuan Prefecture.

"On behalf of my sect, I agree to Fellow Daoist Lu's request!"

A look of surprise appeared on the face of the old monster of the Miyin. He did not expect Lu Cheng'an to agree so readily.

Although the essence blood of a fifth-order fire-attribute demonic bird and the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood are precious treasures, Mengyuan Prefecture is different from the cultivation world Lu Cheng'an was in before.

The cultivation resources in Mengyuan Prefecture are even more abundant. If the Yin Hua Sect is willing to search with all its might, finding information about these three treasures will not be a particularly difficult task.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu performs exceptionally well in Blackrock City, let alone finding information about the treasures, we could even bestow these treasures upon you directly," Old Monster Miyin said with a chuckle.

He had never seen Lu Cheng'an use his full strength, but he had seen Lu Cheng'an assist the Green-Faced Ghost King in killing two fifth-tier ghosts from Wanhe Palace.

The Green-Faced Ghost King was indeed extremely powerful, but Lu Cheng'an played a crucial role in his ability to kill two fifth-tier ghosts from Wanhe Palace.

The demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture were unaware of Lu Cheng'an's existence. If Lu Cheng'an were to hide in the shadows and cooperate with the Nascent Soul cultivators of their Yin Hua Sect, he could very well have killed the early Nascent Soul cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

The difference in strength between early-stage and mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators is too great. Lu Cheng'an only has the cultivation of early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Therefore, Old Monster Miyin never thought that he could rely on Lu Cheng'an's strength to kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator.

He told Lu Cheng'an that he could directly give Lu Cheng'an the three treasures, namely the blood essence of a fifth-tier fire-attribute demonic bird, hoping that Lu Cheng'an would go all out.

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly, but in his heart he didn't think so.

Although the three treasures he needed were quite valuable, once he learned about them, obtaining them shouldn't be too difficult.

His current weapon-refining skills have reached the fifth-grade low level. He may not be able to refine a fifth-grade low level magic weapon yet, but he can still refine some simple fifth-grade low level magic tools.

Although the cultivation power in Mengyuan Prefecture is strong, there are not many cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Lu Cheng'an had not inquired about it, he was certain that there were not many fifth-tier weapon refiners in Mengyuan Prefecture.

It is already extremely difficult for a cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul stage. On top of that, it is even more difficult to elevate one of the myriad cultivation arts to a level that matches one's cultivation level. Only a few exceptionally talented individuals can achieve this.

Lu Cheng'an is not ready to reveal his identity as a fifth-level weapon refiner for the time being. He needs to wait until he arrives in Black Rock City and has a more detailed understanding of the situation in Dreamland before making a decision.

The old monster of the Miyin didn't expect Lu Cheng'an to have any strong reaction; he just needed to plant a seed in Lu Cheng'an's heart.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please prepare yourselves in the next two days. Uncle-Master Xuanxu may take you to Black Rock City at any time!" Old Monster Miyin said in a deep voice.

A moment later, the Bewitching Old Monster left Lu Cheng'an's cave.

Blackrock City.

"A demonic cultivator!"

Lu Cheng'an murmured to himself, though he was actually quite excited.

Since his cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he has not yet truly fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator from the human race. Now he will be able to verify just how strong he really is.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's reply, the Old Monster of Miyin immediately informed Xuanxu Daoren and Li Yuan of the news.

Afterwards, Xuanxu Daoist contacted Tianyun Shangren and confirmed the time to go to Black Rock City, which was set for two days later.

Mengyuan Prefecture is extremely vast, its territory exceeding that of the three prefectures of Qing, He, and Tai.

Black Rock City is located within the territory of the Desire Spirit Sect, adjacent to Qianyuan Prefecture.

The Yin Hua Sect is extremely far from Black Rock City, but the Yin Hua Sect has a teleportation array to the Yu Ling Sect.

Take the teleportation array to the Desire Spirit Sect first, and you will be able to reach Black Rock City in a very short time.

Two days later.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanxu, does your sect sell materials for constructing teleportation arrays?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile, looking at the teleportation array ahead. His previous cultivation world was resource-scarce, and materials for constructing teleportation arrays were unavailable.

This also meant that even though Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun's cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and they had become fourth-tier spirit array masters, they still couldn't build a teleportation spirit array for the Lu family.

There are teleportation arrays in Qing, He, and Tai prefectures, but these arrays were built too long ago, and some are already in a state of collapse and can no longer be used.

The situation in Mengyuan Prefecture and other prefectures is very different from the cultivation world where Lu Cheng'an originally lived. There must be materials for building teleportation arrays here.

"The sect's treasury does indeed contain some materials for constructing teleportation arrays, but they are all fourth-tier materials. These materials can only be used to construct fourth-tier short-range teleportation arrays. If you want to construct a long-range teleportation array, it would be best to find fifth-tier materials."

"Of course, some fourth-grade high-quality and top-quality materials can also be used to build long-distance teleportation arrays, but such teleportation arrays cannot be used for very long."

"At the border between Yunhai Prefecture and Jinhua Prefecture, ten thousand feet above the ground, there is a spatial turbulence. Treasures that can be used to build teleportation arrays can be found there. If Fellow Daoist Lu is interested, you can go to that spatial turbulence to seek opportunities."

"However, spatial turbulence is extremely dangerous. Even cultivators like you and me at the Nascent Soul stage may encounter danger."

"Moreover, it also requires a certain amount of luck. If you are not lucky enough, even if you search there for a long time, you may not be able to find the treasure."

Xuanxu Daoist did not hide anything; it was no secret that the spatial turbulence above Yunhai Sect and Jinhua Prefecture could generate materials for building teleportation arrays.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of these details because he had only recently arrived. He would learn about them once he became more familiar with the area.

"Thank you for telling me this information, Fellow Daoist Xuanxu. Once the invasion of the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture is resolved, I will then head to that spatial turbulence to seek opportunities!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"Then I wish you good luck, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

As he spoke, Xuanxu Daoist cast a spell, then said to Lu Cheng'an, "Fellow Daoist Lu, let's activate the teleportation array together and board it first!"

The teleportation array they are currently using is a short-range teleportation array, which only allows teleportation within the Dreamland State.

The materials used to build this teleportation array are fourth-tier materials.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an, Xuanxu Daoist, and Li Yuan all boarded the teleportation array.

As the teleportation array was activated, the three figures quickly disappeared.

When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the Fragrant Breeze Immortal City of the Desire Spirit Sect.

Fragrant Breeze Immortal City is one of the major cities of the Desire Spirit Sect, and many teleportation arrays have been built in this immortal city.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is Fragrant Breeze Immortal City, only 20,000 li away from Black Rock City. We can reach Black Rock City in just two quarters of an hour from Fragrant Breeze Immortal City!" Xuanxu Daoist said with a smile.

Nascent Soul cultivators travel at an extremely fast speed, especially those skilled in spatial manipulation; their speed is comparable to that of teleportation arrays.

Although Xiangfeng Immortal City is a major city within the territory of the Desire Spirit Sect, there are currently no Nascent Soul cultivators from the Desire Spirit Sect guarding it. Therefore, Lu Cheng'an and Xuanxu Daoist did not stay in Xiangfeng Immortal City.

They set off from Fragrant Breeze City and arrived at Black Rock City two quarters of an hour later.

Blackrock City is much larger than Fragrant Breeze City, but it is far less prosperous than Fragrant Breeze City. Now, the entire Blackrock City is shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Blackrock City is just ahead. Blackrock City originally had seven Nascent Soul cultivators, and now our Yin Hua Sect, Desire Spirit Sect, and Heavenly Corpse Sect have each transferred two more Nascent Soul cultivators..."

Before entering Blackrock City, Xuanxu Daoist told Lu Cheng'an about the situation of Blackrock City and the demonic cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture.

Once all the Nascent Soul cultivators have arrived, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in Qianyuan Prefecture will reach thirteen.

These thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators were all elites of Mengyuan Prefecture, including Hongying Yuanjun, the sect leader of the Yuling Sect, who was the only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in Mengyuan Prefecture.

In addition to the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Desire Spirit Sect also dispatched two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, for a total of five Nascent Soul cultivators.

The reason why the Desire Spirit Sect mobilized so many Nascent Soul cultivators was not only because the Desire Spirit Sect was the most powerful cultivation force in Mengyuan Prefecture, but also mainly because demonic cultivators from Qianyuan Prefecture had invaded from the Desire Spirit Sect.

If they cannot stop the invasion of demonic cultivators, the Desire Spirit Sect will be the first to suffer damage.

Yin Hua Sect and Tian Shi Sect each sent four cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, including two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and two early-Nascent Soul cultivators.

Of the thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators who will be entering Blackrock City next, there is one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, six mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and six early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The reason why the Yu Ling Sect takes this invasion of demonic cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture so seriously is because the power mobilized by the demonic cultivators is extremely terrifying.

This invasion was led by the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Pure Water Illusion Demon, who also had six mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and eight early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators under his command, bringing the total number of Nascent Soul cultivators to fifteen, two more than Mengyuan Prefecture.

Lu Cheng'an was a guest elder recently recruited by the Yin Hua Sect, and was not among the thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators in Black Rock City.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect, including Master Tianyun, have not yet informed the cultivators of the Yu Ling Sect and the Tian Shi Sect about Lu Cheng'an's situation.

They wanted to use Lu Cheng'an as a trump card, waiting until they were fighting against the Nascent Soul cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture, and then have Lu Cheng'an suddenly appear, so that they might be able to ambush and kill a Nascent Soul demon cultivator from Qian Yuan Prefecture.

“We will now enter Blackrock City. Fellow Daoist Lu, please conceal your cultivation aura as we discussed before, and act as a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm to prevent the news from leaking out.”

"When we clash with the Nascent Soul demon cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture, Fellow Daoist Lu, join forces with Bi Luo to attack a Nascent Soul early-stage demon cultivator and see if we can kill him quickly!" Xuanxu Daoist said in a deep voice.

Biluo Yuanjun's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She is the strongest among the early Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect and has the best chance of breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The old monster of the Miyin Sect had introduced Lu Cheng'an's situation to the cultivators of the Yinhua Sect. They knew that Lu Cheng'an had once cooperated with the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor to kill a ghost in the early stage of the fifth rank.

That's why they're now thinking of having Lu Cheng'an cooperate with Biluo Yuanjun to kill the early-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator in Qianyuan Prefecture.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu can cooperate with Biluo to kill the early-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator in Qianyuan Prefecture, our Yinhua Sect can give Fellow Daoist Lu a drop of the essence blood of a fifth-tier early-stage Purple-Winged Fire Phoenix!" Xuanxu Daoist said in a deep voice.

The Purple-Winged Fire Phoenix is ​​a fire-attribute demonic bird. This demonic bird contains the bloodline of the phoenix and is extremely powerful.

The Yin Hua Sect does not yet possess the essence blood of the Purple-Winged Fire Phoenix, but they have already obtained information about it.

If Lu Cheng'an can cooperate with Biluo Yuanjun to kill the early-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator in Qianyuan Prefecture, they will exchange the essence blood of the Purple-Winged Fire Phoenix for Lu Cheng'an. (End of Chapter)
