Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Blood Sun Demon Lord's strength far surpasses that of Lu Cheng'an. The single Tranquil Ancient Seal can still affect the Blood Sun Demon Lord, but only for a moment.

However, this instant is enough, as Xianyun, Biluo Yuanjun, and Xuanxu Daoren will all make their move at this moment.

After several such incidents, Blood Sun Demon Lord suffered considerable injuries.

However, the injuries sustained by Xianyun and Biluo Yuanjun were more severe.

A moment later, the Blood Sun Demon Lord flew away and quickly entered the gate of the Wang family of Golden Cauldron Mountain.

Wang Yuhua also harbored extreme resentment towards the Blood Sun Demon Lord, but the Blood Sun Demon Lord's cultivation was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he came from the Yuanshui Demon Sect.

No matter how resentful he was, when the Blood Sun Demon Lord arrived, he immediately let the Blood Sun Demon Lord into the mountain gate.

"Don't think about anything else, retreat quickly!"

Xianyun let out a low shout and instantly landed on the Yin Hua Sect's flying treasure ship.

Xuanxu Daoist and his companions followed suit and retreated. Once everyone had boarded the treasure ship, Xuanxu Daoist personally propelled the ship away from the vicinity of Jinding Mountain.

During this time, Xianyun also explained to Lu Chengan and the others why the Blood Sun Demon Lord had retreated so quickly.

The Crimson Cherry Blossom Sovereign led cultivators from the Desire Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect to attack the Demon-Attracting Sect, but the strength of the Demon-Attracting Sect remained unchanged.

However, it was not an easy task for Hongying Yuanjun and the others to break through the gates of the Demon-Attracting Sect.

After Xianyun, Xuanxu Daoren, and others spread the news of the changes in the Wang family of Jinding Mountain, Qingyunzi and Bailanghuang quickly made a decision to have Hongying Yuanjun and others abandon their attack on Yinmo Sect and go to rescue Xianyun and the others.

If the situation becomes unfavorable, Hongying Yuanjun can directly lead the cultivators of the Yuling Sect and the Tianshi Sect to withdraw from Qianyuan Prefecture.

This is because both Qingyunzi and the White Wolf King felt that Xianyun and the others had little chance of survival.

The Blood Sun Demon Lord is very powerful. He attacked Xianyun and the others with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, so it would be very difficult for them to survive.

Unless Hongying Yuanjun can lead the cultivators of the Yuling Sect and the Tianshi Sect to Jinding Mountain quickly.

The distance between Jinding Mountain and Yinmo Sect is 400,000 li. Even for a cultivator like Hongying Yuanjun, who is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it would take half an hour to travel there at full speed.

Moreover, Hongying Yuanjun dared not leave the ranks of the Desire Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect, since the Demon-Attracting Sect still had a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If the sect leader of the Demon-Attracting Sect were to launch a sneak attack after Hongying Yuanjun left, it would cause even greater losses.

However, relying on a top-tier fourth-order flying ship to travel would be much slower.

It would be difficult for Xianyun and the others to sustain this for such a long time!
After the Crimson Cherry Primordial Lord led the cultivators of the Desire Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect to retreat from the Demon-Attracting Sect, the Demon-Attracting Sect Master immediately relayed the news to the Blood Sun Demon Lord and Wang Yuhua.

After the incident at Golden Cauldron Mountain, Blood Sun Demon Lord had been keeping a close eye on the messages from the Demon-Attracting Sect.

That's why he was able to view the message from the Demon Summoning Sect so quickly.

After learning that Hongying Yuanjun and the others had indeed left the Demon-Attracting Sect, he immediately abandoned his attack on Lu Cheng'an and the others.

Crimson Cherry Blossom Sovereign dared not leave the ranks of the Desire Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect, but Blood Sun Demon Lord dared not gamble.

If Hongying Yuanjun arrives quickly by herself, it will become very difficult for him to retreat.

The strength of the Crimson Cherry Blossom Lord far surpasses that of the Blood Sun Demon Lord. If he were to be besieged by the Crimson Cherry Blossom Lord and Xianyun and the others, he might die here!

Having finally broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the Blood Sun Demon Lord naturally didn't want to put his life in danger.

That's why he retreated so decisively.

"I have already sent a message to the sect leader and the Desire Spirit Sect. We will leave Qian Yuan Prefecture directly and do not need to wait for Sect Leader Yun to arrive!"

Xianyun spoke gently, his face extremely pale, and continued, "My injuries are too severe, so I won't say any more. I need to hurry up and treat my injuries!"

After Xianyun finished speaking, he ignored Biluo Yuanjun and the others and hurriedly entered the cave inside the treasure ship.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we were able to turn the tide this time thanks to you. Otherwise, we would all have died there!"

Biluo Yuanjun smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, asking with great concern, "Fellow Daoist Lu, how are your injuries? Are they serious?"

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Biluo. My injuries may be even more serious than Elder Xianyun's."

Lu Cheng'an smiled weakly and said, "I need to take care of my injuries now. If it's not necessary, please don't bother me any further!"

"Then Fellow Daoist Lu, please return to your cave to recuperate. We will not disturb you any longer!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please rest assured, we will definitely tell the sect leader about this matter in detail. Our Yin Hua Sect will never forget Fellow Daoist Lu's kindness!" Bi Luo Yuanjun said very seriously.

Biluo Yuanjun was indeed very grateful to Lu Cheng'an. If it weren't for Lu Cheng'an, all of them would have died at Jinding Mountain.

They were all the most elite forces of the Yin Hua Sect. If they were all killed, the blow to the Yin Hua Sect would be unimaginable.

Biluo Yuanjun did not doubt that Lu Cheng'an was lying, after all, the Blood Sun Demon Lord's most powerful Blood Sun Divine Power was aimed at Lu Cheng'an.

They would have found it strange if Lu Cheng'an's injuries were not serious.

Lu Cheng'an gave a weak smile, and without speaking to Biluo Yuanjun any further, quickly returned to his cave.

After entering the cave, Lu Cheng'an placed another seal on his body, and the weakness that had appeared on his face disappeared.

The Blood Sun Demon Lord's Blood Sun Divine Power was indeed extremely powerful, but Lu Cheng'an did not bear much of its power.

Before this divine power was fully unleashed, he had already used the space-folding divine power to escape.

Afterwards, he took the Qingmu Buyuan Pill, a low-grade fifth-rank healing pill, and now his injuries have mostly healed.

The reason he appeared so weak in front of Biluo Yuanjun and the others was simply because he didn't want them to think that his strength was too overwhelming.

Moreover, he wanted to take this opportunity to gain some more benefits from the Yin Hua Sect, and at the same time, he did not want to participate in the subsequent attacks on the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture.

This time, they killed a total of three demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage: two at the early Nascent Soul stage and one at the middle Nascent Soul stage. All three of these demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage died at the hands of Lu Cheng'an.

"A demonic cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage is worth ten Demon Hunting Points, a demonic cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage is worth thirty Demon Hunting Points, three demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage have given me fifty Demon Hunting Points, and two demonic cultivators at the perfect Nascent Soul stage are also worth two Demon Hunting Points. I now have a total of fifty Demon Hunting Points!"

Lu Cheng'an quickly checked his points on the Demon Hunter Ranking and, after confirming that he had fifty-two Demon Hunter Points, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

Demon Hunter Points are far more valuable than Spirit Orbs, and Lu Cheng'an can currently obtain everything he needs using them. Without the appearance of the Blood Sun Demon Lord, it would have been extremely difficult for Lu Cheng'an to acquire so many Demon Hunter Points.

Moreover, even if he did acquire so many Demon Hunting Points, the cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect would still harbor resentment towards him.

But the situation is completely different now. The appearance of the Blood Sun Demon Lord has put the cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect in a life-or-death crisis.

Lu Cheng'an's killing of Wang Yusheng and the other two would not only not arouse the jealousy of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yin Hua Sect, but they would also be grateful to Lu Cheng'an.

After all, without Lu Cheng'an, it would have been the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Yin Hua Sect who died.

"We need to purchase four Tier 5 Spirit Vein Beads first!"

After some deliberation, Lu Cheng'an finally decided to purchase four fifth-tier spirit vein beads first.

Spirit veins of the fifth rank or higher can produce spirit vein beads. These spirit vein beads are very valuable, as they are the key to upgrading a fifth-rank spirit vein to a sixth-rank spirit vein.

To advance from a fourth-order spiritual vein to a fifth-order spiritual vein, one must rely on a fifth-order spiritual vein bead to unlock its shackles.

Removing the Spirit Vein Bead from a Spirit Vein will have a significant impact on the Spirit Vein, and in severe cases, it may even cause the Spirit Vein's grade to drop.

Lu Cheng'an obtained a low-quality spirit vein bead when he broke through in the Vast Desert, but this gave the Lu family the possibility of cultivating a fifth-order spirit vein.

When Lu Cheng'an left the Lu family, the Lu family had not yet cultivated a fifth-order spiritual vein.

He has been away from the Lu family for thirty years now, and the family must have cultivated a fifth-order spiritual vein by now.

The spirit vein beads used for trading on the Demon Hunter Ranking are of better quality than those that Lu Chengan obtained from the Vast Desert. These spirit vein beads are also easier to cultivate into fifth-order spirit veins.

Of course, the price of a fifth-tier spirit vein bead is not cheap. One spirit vein bead is worth three demon-hunting points, which is equivalent to killing one-third of a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an planned to exchange for four fifth-tier spirit vein beads, which would cost a total of twelve demon-hunting points, more than he would have earned from killing a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"After purchasing four Tier 5 Spirit Vein Beads, I will have 40 points remaining. I will use 10 points to purchase a Tier 5 Low-Grade Pure Yang Spirit Condensation Pill, and use the remaining 30 Demon Hunting Points to purchase cultivation techniques!"

The Pure Yang Concentration Pill is a pill used to assist cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm in breaking through to the Deity Transformation Realm. This pill is quite valuable, costing two Demon Hunting Points for each one, and it is a rare and highly sought-after pill.

Fortunately, this Demon Hunting Ranking was crafted by the four super powers of the Central Divine Continent. The Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pill is extremely precious to Nascent Soul sects like the Yin Hua Sect, but it is nothing to the four super powers like the Xuan Chen Sect.

Previously, the Yin Hua Sect did not use the Demon Hunting Points they obtained to purchase Pure Yang Concentration Pills; instead, they used them all to buy treasures useful for enhancing Nascent Soul cultivators such as Tianyun Shangren.

At this time, adding one or two new Nascent Soul stage cultivators wouldn't be of much use; it would be better to let Tianyun Shangren and the others advance their cultivation further.

Lu Cheng'an wanted to buy a cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or a technique that could be cultivated directly to the Void Refinement stage.

However, this kind of cultivation method is very valuable. A complete cultivation method that can be cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage requires twenty Demon Hunting Points, while a cultivation method that can be cultivated to the early or middle stage of the Void Refinement stage generally requires at least thirty Demon Hunting Points.

"Thirty Demon Hunting Points might only be enough to exchange for one cultivation technique!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed helplessly. Fifty-two Demon Hunter Points were really not many. He hadn't even thought about it much before he was already short of them.

However, he absolutely needs to obtain high-level cultivation techniques, because if he wants to advance the Earth Flame True Scripture to the Nascent Soul stage or the Void Refining stage, he will need to refer to cultivation techniques of the same or higher level.

"My cultivation level is still in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and I only have a few Demon Hunting Points. Perhaps I can wait a while before thinking about cultivation techniques and instead buy some treasures to improve my cultivation level!"

"The Spirit-Nourishing Fruit and the Immortal Mushroom Spirit-Nourishing Pill are both good!"

Both the Spirit Nourishing Fruit and the Immortal Mushroom Nourishing Spirit Pill are of the fifth rank, low grade. They are treasures that assist cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul stage, and their effects are no less than those of the Void Divine Fruit that Lu Cheng'an used before.

If Lu Cheng'an were to use the Spirit Nourishing Fruit and the Immortal Spirit Nourishing Pill for cultivation, he could greatly shorten the time required to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The price of the Spirit Nourishing Fruit and the Immortal Mushroom Nourishing Spirit Pill is not cheap either. One Spirit Nourishing Fruit costs three Demon Hunting Points, the same as the Pure Yang Concentrating Spirit Pill.

The Immortal Spirit Nourishing Pill is even more expensive, costing four Demon Hunting Points per pill.

Lu Cheng'an didn't have many Demon Hunting Points at his disposal, so he couldn't buy too many Spirit Nourishing Fruits and Immortal Spirit Nourishing Pills.

Lu Cheng'an's thoughts were in turmoil as he continuously checked the various treasures that could be purchased with Demon Hunter Points on the Demon Hunter Ranking.

"The Immortal Essence Transformation Water Scripture, Sixth Stage Perfected Technique (Fragment): Fifteen Points..."

"The Sixth-Tier Perfected Technique of the Purple Smoke Divine Fire Record (Fragment): Sixteen Points..."

…………

Upon seeing the cultivation techniques section, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but show a look of surprise, because he discovered that there were still incomplete cultivation techniques available for exchange on the Demon Hunter Ranking.

Incomplete cultivation techniques are much cheaper than complete ones. For example, the sixth-order perfect Immortal Essence Water Scripture can be exchanged for only fifteen points.

The Demon Hunter Ranking listed the incomplete parts of these techniques in detail. After carefully examining them, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but have an idea.

"The Purple Smoke Divine Fire Record can be cultivated to the perfect Void Refinement realm, but it lacks cultivation techniques for the early and middle stages of Nascent Soul, the early and late stages of Deity Transformation, and the late and perfect stages of Void Refinement!"

Lu Cheng'an murmured to himself, he really wanted to exchange for the incomplete Purple Smoke Divine Fire Record.

He bought the cultivation techniques not for the purpose of practicing them, but mainly to absorb the nutrients from them to help him fully master the subsequent techniques of the Yan Zhen Jing.

The Purple Smoke Divine Fire Record is a fire-attribute cultivation technique. Although it lacks many elements, it can definitely provide him with great help.

"Buy the Purple Smoke Divine Fire Record at sixteen points, and the remaining fourteen points can be used to buy two Spirit Nourishing Fruits and two Immortal Mushroom Spirit Nourishing Pills."

Lu Cheng'an carefully considered his options and made reasonable arrangements for the 52 Demon Hunter Points he had.

However, he was not in a hurry to buy these things; he had plenty of time to consider them.

"My injuries haven't fully healed yet, so I should focus on treating them now!"

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Lu Cheng'an began to carefully treat his injuries.

While Lu Cheng'an was in seclusion in his cave healing his injuries, the three members of the Yin Hua Sect, including Bi Luo Yuanjun, were also working hard to recover from their injuries.

However, the three did not return to their cave to heal their wounds, because they needed to keep a close watch on their surroundings to prevent any attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators.

Fortunately, the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture no longer had as much power, and after some time, they finally managed to return to Black Rock City safely. (End of Chapter)
