Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Wang family lost three demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, but not many demonic cultivators at the Spirit Nascent Soul stage were killed or injured.

However, the two Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators that Lu Cheng'an killed were the Divine Transformation seeds cultivated by the Wang family.

Whenever Wang Yuhua thinks about this incident, she feels an urge to tear Lu Cheng'an to pieces.

If he knew that Lu Cheng'an had taken over Jin Ding Mountain, he would definitely do something crazy.

Apart from the two Nascent Soul seedlings killed by Lu Cheng'an, the Wang family has not suffered any further casualties among the other Nascent Soul Perfection seedlings they have cultivated.

After receiving the Yin Water Demon Transformation Pill from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect, Wang Yuhua has been dedicated to cultivating cultivators within the clan, hoping to produce another cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

The clansman chosen by Wang Yuhua who took the Yin Water Demon Pill is now at a crucial stage of his cultivation. In addition, the cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect have been stationed at Jin Ding Mountain for many years, so Wang Yuhua has relaxed his surveillance of Jin Ding Mountain.

But once the Wang family's Nascent Soul cultivator breaks through to the Divine Transformation realm, Wang Yuhua will definitely pay attention to the situation at Golden Cauldron Mountain again.

By then, the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain may have been completely transformed by the purification magic array, and Wang Yuhua will soon know that Jinding Mountain has been occupied by other cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an did not set up any defenses on Jinding Mountain. If Wang Yuhua wanted to investigate, she could easily find out that Lu Cheng'an was the one occupying Jinding Mountain.

These were actually within Lu Cheng'an's expectations.

Lu Cheng'an was not worried about Wang Yuhua's attack. Even if he and Shi Ningyu were no match for Wang Yuhua, he could still escape quickly with Shi Ningyu by relying on the supernatural power of spatial folding.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an felt that he and Shi Ningyu might not be no match for Wang Yuhua.

He also wanted to lure Wang Yuhua here, and then kill her at Jinding Mountain!

As the sun sets and the moon rises, a year has passed since Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu entered Jinding Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an had been cultivating with the help of the Spirit Pearl for the past year. The spiritual energy contained in the Spirit Pearl was extremely pure. Although its effects were not as powerful as treasures such as the Spirit Nourishing Fruit, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level had still improved considerably after a year of hard work.

Moreover, this simple cultivation not only improved Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level, but also his understanding of various Dao powers.

However, he had only been cultivating for a year, so the improvement was not particularly noticeable.

Shi Ningyu spent that year refining the Pure Yang Elixir.

She had made thorough preparations before starting the refining process, and the process went relatively smoothly when she actually began.

After nearly nine months, she successfully refined a fifth-grade low-level Pure Yang Elixir.

The problem is that the quality of the refined Pure Yang Elixir is not very good, and the success rate is also very low.

However, this was Shi Ningyu's first time refining a fifth-grade pill, and it was already quite remarkable that she succeeded. Shi Ningyu did not push the matter too much.

Afterwards, Shi Ningyu began to summarize the gains from this refinement of the Pure Yang Elixir, while meditating to recover and adjust.

Once they recovered, they quickly began the second refining process.

Cultivation knows no time; in the blink of an eye, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had spent twelve years at Jin Ding Mountain.

During this period, the two did not leave Jinding Mountain, but the outside world underwent significant changes.

Deep within Qianyuan Prefecture lies Yinyue Mountain, where the Wang family's new mountain gate is located.

At this moment, a fifth-order demonic vein in Silvermoon Mountain surged violently, and dense demonic energy frantically converged towards a cave in Silvermoon Mountain.

Wang Yuhua and many other cultivators from the Wang family were nervously investigating the situation of the cave.

The owner of this cave is Wang Anheng, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wang family, who is currently at a crucial moment in his breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm.

Perhaps because the Wang family's luck had not completely dissipated, Wang Anheng's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm was relatively smooth.

With the help of the Yin Water Demon Pill, he successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, giving the Wang family another Nascent Soul cultivator.

After Wang Anheng successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, Wang Yuhua instructed him to cultivate in seclusion in his cave, while she herself left Silver Moon Mountain to go to Golden Cauldron Mountain to gather information.

The environment of Silver Moon Mountain is incomparable to that of Golden Cauldron Mountain. Silver Moon Mountain is much smaller than Golden Cauldron Mountain, and there is only one fifth-order demonic vein in the mountain.

This fifth-order magic vein is also of relatively poor quality.

Now that the Wang family has gained another cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, even the fifth-order demonic vein of Silvermoon Mountain might not be enough to supply the daily cultivation needs of all the cultivators in the Wang family.

Silver Moon Mountain is not particularly far from Golden Cauldron Mountain, and Wang Yuhua has the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He sped all the way from Silver Moon Mountain and soon arrived near Golden Cauldron Mountain.

"The demonic vein of Jinding Mountain has been transformed into a spiritual vein!"

The transformation of the demonic vein into a spiritual vein had a significant impact on Jin Ding Mountain. Even though Wang Yuhua did not approach Jin Ding Mountain, he quickly confirmed this fact.

"Who did it?"

"Is it the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Yin Hua Sect, or some other Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Wang Yuhua stared at Jinding Mountain ahead with a sinister look. He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging anger in his chest, and quickly returned to Yinyue Mountain.

He was not blinded by hatred.

The demonic vein of Jinding Mountain has been completely transformed into a spiritual vein. He needs to plan carefully and find out exactly who has occupied Jinding Mountain.

The Wang family has just produced a new cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, and he wants to take this opportunity to invite fellow cultivators to Jin Ding Mountain to investigate.

Not long after Wang Yuhua left, a streak of light shot out from Jinding Mountain and landed at the spot where Wang Yuhua had been standing.

"This aura is indeed left by Wang Yuhua. After so much time, he should be itching to make a move!"

After sensing the faint trace of Wang Yuhua's breath, a faint smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face.

He hoped that Wang Yuhua could bring more Nascent Soul demon cultivators to Yuhua Mountain to cause him trouble, and at that time he would definitely leave all of these Nascent Soul demon cultivators at Jinding Mountain.

He believed that if he could accomplish this, the demonic cultivators of Qian Yuan Prefecture would probably stop coming to Jin Ding Mountain. In recent years, in addition to the Wang family producing a new Nascent Soul cultivator, the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect have also produced new Nascent Soul cultivators.

The past decade or so has not been a long time, but the strength of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yinhua Sect has greatly improved, because these two sects have produced more than one cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Over the years, the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yinhua Sect have each cultivated two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage by relying on three low-grade fifth-order magic treasures: the Gathering Yin Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag, all crafted by Lu Cheng'an.

The effects of the three magical treasures—the Gathering Yin Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner—on cultivators of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect who break through to the Nascent Soul Realm are better than those of the Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pill.

Moreover, due to the lack of these three magical treasures in the two sects over the years, many cultivators in the sects who have reached the Nascent Soul stage have been stuck there and have not chosen to break through.

In previous years, Lu Cheng'an crafted two sets of Yin Gathering Pools, Golden Mother Yuan Plates, and Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flags for these two sects. It was precisely because of this that these two sects were able to cultivate two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in such a short period of time.

The cultivators from both sects relied on the Yin Gathering Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag to break through, which also caused great damage to these three magical treasures.

Now, the Yin Gathering Pool, Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag that Lu Cheng'an refined for these two sects are basically all destroyed.

The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun sent messages to Lu Cheng'an, inquiring about the situation of Lu Cheng'an and his wife at Jinding Mountain, and also asking Lu Cheng'an to help refine a new Yin Gathering Pool, a Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and a Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

After receiving the messages from the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun, Lu Cheng'an did not refuse directly. Instead, he made an excuse that he was currently focused on purifying the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain and did not have time to help them refine magic weapons.

The Gathering Yin Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Banner all need to be crafted as a set. If he agrees to the demands of the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect, it will take him about ten years to complete the crafting of these magical treasures.

The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun were not angry after being rejected by Lu Cheng'an, after all, they knew that Lu Cheng'an had not been in Jin Ding Mountain for long.

After Lu Cheng'an discovered Wang Yuhua's whereabouts outside Jin Ding Mountain, he simultaneously sent messages to the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder and Tianyun Shangren, asking them to bring refining materials to Jin Ding Mountain so that he could help them refine magical treasures there.

It would take him nearly ten years to refine the Yin Gathering Pool and other magical treasures. He believed that once Wang Yuhua learned that the demonic vein of Jinding Mountain had been transformed into a spiritual vein, she would not be able to endure it for long and would definitely come to Jinding Mountain again.

If Wang Yuhua knew that he had taken over Jinding Mountain, he believed that Wang Yuhua would definitely not be able to resist taking action against him.

He would first have the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun stay at Jinding Mountain for the time being. Only after they helped kill Wang Yuhua and the other Nascent Soul demon cultivators would he help them refine magic weapons.

The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Celestial Cloud Master were unaware of Lu Cheng'an's plans. Upon receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, they were both extremely excited.

Over the past ten years, each of their sects has gained two cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Although this is the result of their sects' years of accumulation, the most important factor is that Lu Cheng'an helped them refine three magic treasures: the Yin Gathering Pool, the Golden Mother Yuan Plate, and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an did not inquire about the secrets of the three magical treasures of the Gathering Yin Pool, which made the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder and the Heavenly Cloud Master have a very good impression of Lu Cheng'an.

Without wasting any time, the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun immediately headed towards Golden Cauldron Mountain after storing the materials for refining the three magical treasures, the Yin Gathering Pool, into their storage artifacts.

Soon after, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Celestial Cloud Master arrived at Golden Cauldron Mountain.

Over the years, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu haven't really activated the purification magic array much; the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain has been mostly purified by the power of the purification magic array itself.

The fact that the purification magic array has completely transformed the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain in just over a decade is not because the power of the fifth-order mid-grade purification magic array built by Geng Muhua is particularly strong.

The most important factor was Lu Cheng'an's willingness to invest spirit pearls in the early stages.

Five thousand spirit beads is not a small number; most cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm cannot produce so many spirit beads at once.

Five thousand spirit pearls are more than enough to buy a high-quality, low-grade fifth-tier magic weapon!
It is only because Lu Cheng'an is a fifth-grade low-level weapon refiner that he can earn spirit pearls more easily and dare to be so extravagant.

"You old ghost of ten thousand corpses, what brings you here too!"

"If you can come, why can't I?"

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses glanced at Venerable Tianyun and said with a smile, "I naturally came because I received an invitation from Lu Cheng'an."

The old man of ten thousand corpses frowned slightly as he spoke. He was not surprised that Tianyun the old ghost came to Jinding Mountain, but what surprised him was that Tianyun the old ghost had come to Jinding Mountain with him. That was rather strange.

Master Tianyun also felt somewhat puzzled by this, but they did not waste any time.

The two entered Jin Ding Mountain while they were talking.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu also emerged from the spiritual spring where they had been in seclusion and welcomed Tianyun Shangren and Shi Ningyu into the cave they had created next to the spiritual spring.

"Sect Leader Yue, Sect Leader Gu, thank you for making this trip!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren and said with a smile, "I have agreed to help the two sect leaders refine three magic treasures, including the Gathering Yin Pool. However, before I help the two sect leaders refine them, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren exchanged a glance and instantly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

They knew that Lu Cheng'an hadn't called them both to Jin Ding Mountain unintentionally; he must have something to ask for their help.

"Not long ago, I sensed news of Wang Yuhua outside Jinding Mountain. He must already know that the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain has been eliminated."

Lu Cheng'an did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

“You two fellow Daoists certainly know Wang Yuhua better than I do. If he knew that the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain had been eliminated, he would definitely come to Jinding Mountain to cause me trouble.”

"If he finds out that I was the one who transformed the demonic energy of Jinding Mountain, he probably won't let me off easily."

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he deliberately showed a worried expression on his face.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder and the Heavenly Cloud Venerable, he said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask you two to stay at Golden Cauldron Mountain for a while. If Wang Yuhua really comes to Golden Cauldron Mountain, my wife and I will join forces with you two to kill Wang Yuhua completely!"

The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Celestial Cloud Master are both at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. There is a significant gap between mid-stage and late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

If the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Celestial Cloud Master were to attack Wang Yuhua, she would have no chance of survival.

"The Wang family obtained a fifth-grade low-level Yin Water Demon Pill from the Yuan Shui Demon Sect, and in recent years they have also cultivated a new Nascent Soul cultivator."

The old man of ten thousand corpses frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I heard that Wang Yuhua intends to help the Wang family's early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator hold a Nascent Soul celebration and has invited many early and mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivators. I'm afraid his purpose in holding the celebration is not so simple!"

"He definitely wants to take this opportunity to invite some Nascent Soul demon cultivators to Jin Ding Mountain to cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Lu. He will definitely succeed this time."

A cold smile appeared on Tianyun Shangren's face as he said, "The territories we conquered in our three states have recently been attacked by the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan State. The Yuanshui Demonic Sect has spread the word that if the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan State can reclaim the territories seized by our three states, they will receive a reward from the Yuanshui Demonic Sect!"
