Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After hearing Lu Cheng'an inquire about the transformation of the demonic veins of Jinding Mountain, Master Tianyun immediately told Lu Cheng'an about the situation of the Jinyan Sect in Lizhou.

"I will have Hongying Yuanjun send a message to the Golden Flame Sect later, asking them to send a fifth-level spirit array master. Then I will go to Golden Cauldron Mountain with you."

Master Tianyun smiled gently and said, "The materials for setting up the purification magic array will be provided by the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture. However, you will need to bear the cost of having a fifth-level spirit array master from the Golden Flame Sect set up the purification magic array yourself. Under normal circumstances, this cost is around ten thousand spirit pearls, which you can definitely afford!"

Previously, he and the Old Ghost of Ten Thousand Corpses had Lu Cheng'an refine magic treasures such as the Yin Gathering Pool, and gave Lu Cheng'an a full 40,000 spirit pearls. These spirit pearls were more than enough for Lu Cheng'an to pay for the Golden Flame Sect's spirit array masters to set up purification magic arrays.

"Then I'll have to trouble the sect leader to take care of things from now on!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly and said, "I would like to ask the sect leader to help me purchase some more materials for refining Pure Yang Elixir and Green Wood Replenishing Elixir."

"That's not difficult. The sect's treasury has the materials to refine these two kinds of pills. I'll fetch them for you in a bit, however many you need."

"The materials for refining the Pure Yang Elixir cost two hundred spirit pearls, while the materials for refining the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir are more expensive, requiring two hundred and eighty spirit pearls," said Master Tianyun.

The Yin Hua Sect's herb garden cultivates many herbs for refining these two types of pills. In addition, the shops opened by the Yin Hua Sect also purchase materials for refining these two types of pills.

That's why Master Tianyun agreed to Lu Cheng'an's request so easily.

"Give me ten portions of the materials for the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

The cost of materials for the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir was not expensive for Lu Cheng'an. Even if he bought ten of each, the cost would be less than five thousand spirit pearls.

When Master Tianyun heard that Lu Chengan needed ten portions of each, a hint of struggle appeared deep in his eyes.

He then sighed softly and agreed to Lu Cheng'an's request.

It's not that Yin Hua Sect can't produce ten sets of materials, but if they give all of them to Lu Cheng'an, Yin Hua Sect won't have much left.

"We still need to find the Old Ghost of Ten Thousand Corpses, and we have to make him bear part of the blame!"

After this thought popped into Tianyun Shangren's mind, he suddenly felt relaxed.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Shi, please wait a moment. I will have someone bring you the materials you need right away!"

Master Tianyun took out a communication artifact and sent a message to Chen Nian, instructing him to hurry up and deliver the materials for the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir to his cave.

Chen Nian is the only fifth-level alchemist in the Yin Hua Sect, and he is most familiar with the various alchemy materials used in the Yin Hua Sect.

After receiving the message from Master Tianyun, Chen Nian felt very puzzled, but he still followed Master Tianyun's instructions and immediately prepared ten sets of materials for each of them and sent them to Master Tianyun's cave.

After obtaining these alchemy materials, Master Tianyun handed them directly to Lu Cheng'an.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng'an paid the fee very readily and left Tianyun Shangren's cave with Shi Ningyu.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left, Tianyun Shangren immediately sent a message to Hongying Yuanjun and Wanshi Laoren.

He instructed Hongying Yuanjun to contact a fifth-tier spirit array master from the Golden Flame Sect, and to have the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder prepare five sets of materials for refining Pure Yang Elixir and Green Wood Replenishing Elixir, emphasizing that they were for Lu Cheng'an.

Hongying Yuanjun confirmed with Tianyun Shangren before sending a message to the Jinyan Sect.

The Golden Flame Sect is a sect located in Lizhou.

It is far from the three states of Lizhou and Mengyuanzhou. This state is larger in area and stronger than the three states of Mengyuanzhou.

The Golden Flame Sect is one of the three major Void Refinement Sects in Lizhou. The sect has eight cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm, making them extremely powerful.

After receiving the message from Hongying Yuanjun, the Golden Flame Sect quickly relayed it to her, saying that the Golden Flame Sect's fifth-tier spirit array master would arrive in Mengyuan Prefecture in half a month.

Hongying Yuanjun quickly relayed the news to Tianyun Shangren, instructing her to immediately take Lu Chengan to the Yuling Sect and wait there for the arrival of the fifth-tier spirit array master from the Jinyan Sect.

The Golden Flame Sect is the superior sect among the three Nascent Soul sects in Mengyuan Prefecture. Even though the Golden Flame Sect only sent a fifth-level spirit array master at the Nascent Soul realm this time, they still cannot afford to take it lightly.

After receiving the message from Hongying Yuanjun, Tianyun Shangren immediately informed Lu Cheng'an and then led Lu Cheng'an and his wife away from Yinhua Sect, rushing towards Yuling Sect.

The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses was unaware of this news.

After seeing the message from Master Tianyun instructing him to prepare five sets of materials for refining the Pure Yang Elixir and the Green Wood Replenishing Elixir, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses severely scolded Master Tianyun, but still arranged for the sect's cultivators to prepare the five sets of materials as soon as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the mountain gate of the Desire Spirit Sect is just ahead. We will wait there for the fifth-level spirit array master sent by the Golden Flame Sect to arrive."

"The Golden Flame Sect is the most prestigious sect in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture. We must treat the fifth-tier spirit array masters of the Golden Flame Sect with the utmost respect!" Venerable Tianyun solemnly instructed.

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely respect the fifth-level spirit array master of the Golden Flame Sect and will not make things difficult for you."

Lu Cheng'an and Tianyun Shangren arrived at the gate of the Yuling Sect while they were talking.

They did not conceal their aura, and were thus quickly detected by the cultivators of the Desire Spirit Sect.

After learning of Tianyun Shangren's arrival, Hongying Yuanjun personally led Tianyun Shangren and his two companions into the Welcoming Peak of the Yuling Sect.

"Sect Master Yue, Fellow Daoist Lu, you are really fast, arriving so early. Array Master Geng from the Golden Flame Sect will take a while longer to arrive!"

A faint smile appeared on Hongying Yuanjun's face. Her gaze fell on Shi Ningyu, and she asked with a smile, "And who is this fellow Daoist?"

"Sect Master Yun, this is my Daoist partner, Shi Ningyu. I will be stationed at Jinding Mountain with my partner from now on," Lu Cheng'an explained with a smile.

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Lu's partner would also be a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage!" said Hongying Yuanjun with considerable surprise.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu smiled slightly at Hongying Yuanjun without saying anything more.

They are not familiar with Hongying Yuanjun, and talking too much might cause problems.

"Sect Master Yun, is the Geng array master you mentioned Geng Muhua? I remember he was a fifth-tier low-grade spirit array master, but we need a spirit array master who can set up a fifth-tier mid-grade purification magic array, right?" Tianyun Shangren said with a frown.

"It is indeed Geng Muhua, but your information is a bit outdated."

Hongying Yuanjun sighed softly and said, "Geng Muhua entered a newly opened ruin in Lizhou. In that ruin, he not only raised his cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but also became a mid-grade fifth-rank spirit array master. It is said that he is not far from becoming a high-grade fifth-rank spirit array master!"

The Crimson Cherry Blossom Sovereign revealed a deep sense of envy. This was the advantage of being born into a major sect; the opportunities they enjoyed were incomparable to those of others.

"Geng Muhua has broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm so quickly!" Venerable Tianyun sighed softly, unable to hide his envy. Geng Muhua was much younger than them, yet he already possessed the cultivation of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

With the Golden Flame Sect as his backer, he has a good chance of becoming a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm in the future.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had no reaction after hearing the news about Geng Muhua, mainly because their backgrounds were so different from Geng Muhua's that there was no comparison between them.

Tianyun Shangren and Hongying Yuanjun discussed some news about Geng Muhua, and Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu also gained some understanding of this mid-grade fifth-order spirit array master.

Geng Muhua is a genius cultivator of the Golden Flame Sect, and he has a fairly friendly personality.

His cultivation level broke through recently, and he hasn't been a mid-grade fifth-order spirit array master for long, so he may be lacking in cultivation resources right now.

Therefore, the cost he requested for setting up the formation might be higher than previously estimated, but it certainly wouldn't exceed 15,000 spirit pearls.

Because the Central Divine Continent has regulations prohibiting cultivators from profiting from demon-slaying.

This is especially true when upper-level sects treat lower-level sects.

After discussing it with Tianyun Shangren, Hongying Yuanjun settled Lu Cheng'an and the other two at Yingke Peak to await Geng Muhua's arrival.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Geng Muhua arrived at the Desire Spirit Sect on time.

"Yun Yao of the Desire Spirit Sect greets Fellow Daoist Geng!"

Both Hongying Yuanjun and Geng Muhua were at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but she kept a very humble attitude.

Because Geng Muhua comes from the Golden Flame Sect and is also a mid-grade fifth-level spirit array master.

"Sect Master Yun, you're too kind!"

Geng Muhua smiled faintly and said, "I won't waste any more words. I'm here mainly to build a mid-grade fifth-order purification magic array. I've brought all the array materials, a total of 15,000 spirit beads. The fee for setting up the array is also 15,000 spirit beads. Give me the spirit beads now so I can help you build the purification magic array."

Geng Muhua clearly didn't want to have much interaction with the cultivators from Mengyuan Prefecture, such as Hongying Yuanjun; he was only focused on completing the mission and earning cultivation resources.

Although Hongying Yuanjun wanted to befriend Geng Muhua, she also saw through Geng Muhua's intentions.

If she continues to try to please Geng Muhua, it might backfire.

"Fellow Daoist Geng, please wait here for a moment. I will retrieve the thirty thousand spirit pearls now and take you to Golden Cauldron Mountain to build the purification magic array soon!"

Without saying much, Hongying Yuanjun spoke to Geng Muhua and then went to find Lu Cheng'an and the other two.

"Geng Muhua from the Golden Flame Sect has arrived. The materials for setting up the array and the cost of building the spirit array are each 15,000 spirit pearls, for a total of 30,000 spirit pearls. You should hurry up and transfer your share to me," Hongying Yuanjun said quickly.

"I'll pay the five thousand spirit beads for the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect first. There are a total of ten thousand spirit beads here. Sect Master Yun, please count them!"

"Sect Master Yun, these are my fifteen thousand spirit pearls."

Upon seeing that Master Tianyun had taken out the spirit pearls, Lu Cheng'an immediately took out the 15,000 spirit pearls that he was supposed to hand over.

He earned a total of 40,000 spirit pearls by helping the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect refine magic treasures. He had previously spent nearly 5,000 spirit pearls on purchasing alchemy materials, leaving him with 35,000 spirit pearls, which was more than enough to cover the cost of building the purification magic array.

Hongying Yuanjun didn't say much. After receiving 25,000 spirit beads from Tianyun Shangren and Lu Cheng'an, she immediately took them to find Geng Muhua, without intending to take Lu Cheng'an and the other two to see Geng Muhua.

"Sect Master, shouldn't we go and meet that spirit array master from the Golden Flame Sect?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a frown after Hong Ying Yuanjun left.

"There's no need to see him. The one from the Golden Flame Sect certainly doesn't want to waste his time on us. He's mainly here to complete his mission. Once the purification magic array is finished, he'll leave immediately. There's no need for us to see him!"

Master Tianyun sighed softly, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

Although he and Hongying Yuanjun had the same cultivation level as Geng Muhua, their backgrounds were different from Geng Muhua's, so Geng Muhua naturally had the ability not to pay attention to them.

"Sect Master Yun will probably take Geng Muhua to Jinding Mountain to build the purification magic array soon. We don't need to go. Once Geng Muhua has completed the purification magic array, you can take over Jinding Mountain directly!"

Since Geng Muhua had no intention of seeing them, they shouldn't deliberately try to get close to him, lest they displease him.

As Master Tianyun had said, after Hongying Yuanjun handed over those spiritual pearls to Geng Muhua, Geng Muhua's attitude towards Hongying Yuanjun became much warmer.

However, he still showed no intention of meeting Lu Cheng'an and the others.

Hongying Yuanjun didn't bring it up herself, but instead took Geng Muhua directly to Jinding Mountain.

Although the Desire Spirit Sect and Golden Cauldron Mountain are some distance apart, both Red Cherry Yuanjun and Geng Muhua are at the late Nascent Soul stage, so it only took them a very short time to reach Golden Cauldron Mountain.

At this time, the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect were still stationed at Golden Cauldron Mountain. They had already received messages from Heavenly Cloud Venerable and the Ten Thousand Corpse Elder, and learned about the attitude of this spirit array master who came from the Golden Flame Sect.

After Hongying Yuanjun brought Geng Muhua to Jinding Mountain, the two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from Yinhua Sect and Tianshi Sect paid their respects to Hongying Yuanjun and Geng Muhua according to etiquette, and then withdrew on their own initiative.

Geng Muhua ignored the two people and quickly surveyed Jin Ding Mountain before setting up a purification magic array there.

The purification magic circle has only one function: to purify demonic energy.

However, the construction of such a spirit array is not easy. Even though Geng Muhua's spirit array skills are now close to the fifth-grade high level, he was still extremely careful when constructing the fifth-grade mid level purification magic array in Jinding Mountain.

It took Geng Muhua nearly a month to complete the purification magic array at Jinding Mountain.

The moment the fifth-tier mid-grade purification magic array was formed, the originally dense demonic energy of Golden Cauldron Mountain was weakened.

Geng Muhua did not linger at the Golden Cauldron Sect. After explaining the precautions for activating the Purification Magic Array to Hongying Yuanjun, he handed her a jade slip for controlling the Purification Magic Array and then quickly left Mengyuan Prefecture.

It hasn't been long since Geng Muhua broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, nor has it been long since he became a mid-grade fifth-level spirit array master.

However, his spirit array skills improved very quickly, and he wanted to break through to become a fifth-tier high-grade spirit array master.

This requires him to devote more time, resources, and energy.

That's why he demanded so many spirit pearls from Mengyuan Prefecture and was in such a hurry to leave. (End of Chapter)
