Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"Your clan still has a fifth-tier array master!" Master Tianyun looked at Lu Cheng'an with shock.

The Lu family only has three cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Lu Cheng'an himself is a mid-grade fifth-rank weapon refiner, his Daoist partner is a low-grade fifth-rank alchemist, and his clansmen are currently low-grade fifth-rank formation masters.

Do Lu Cheng'an's clansmen possess some special ability? After breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, they automatically acquire a cultivation technique that reaches the same level as their own cultivation.

“There is indeed a fifth-tier array master, which is why I wanted to ask the sect leader for the method of constructing the purification magic array!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

After suppressing his shock, Master Tianyun said somewhat helplessly, "Please wait here for a moment while I go and fetch you the method for constructing the purification magic array."

These formations were distributed free of charge by super powers such as the Xuan Chen Sect, and cultivators were strictly prohibited from using them for profit.

After obtaining the method for constructing the purification magic array from the Yin Hua Sect, Master Tianyun gave it directly to Lu Cheng'an.

"The Yin Hua Sect should have materials for constructing a fourth-order purification magic array, right? I'd like to purchase some!"

Lu Cheng'an quickly checked the materials needed to build a fourth-order purification magic array; he only had a small portion of these materials.

If the Lu family wants to build a purification magic array, they will need to find a way to purchase array materials. If they collect them themselves, it will take a lot of time. It would be better to ask the Yin Hua Sect for help.

Master Tianyun sighed softly and said, "I knew you were going to do this. These are three sets of materials for building a fourth-tier top-grade purification magic array. That should be enough."

The main function of the purification magic circle is to purify demonic energy. Once all the demonic energy in a place has been purified, the tools used to build the purification magic circle can be disassembled and taken to other places to build a purification magic circle again.

The demonic energy of Jinding Mountain has been completely purified, but the purification magic array on Jinding Mountain cannot be easily dismantled.

Because the area west of Jinding Mountain is still occupied by demonic cultivators, the demonic energy there continues to invade Jinding Mountain.

If Jin Ding Mountain did not have a purification magic array, it would still be susceptible to demonic energy.

The materials needed to build a Tier 4 Supreme Purification Magic Array are not expensive; one array only requires eighty Spirit Pearls.

Those three sets of materials only cost Lu Cheng'an two hundred and forty spirit pearls.

However, these are only the initial raw materials. These materials will then need to be refined into array flags and array plates.

The array masters will then need to use these array flags and array plates to build a spirit array, which will require a relatively high amount of manpower.

Lu Cheng'an quickly returned to Jinding Mountain with the books and materials for building the purification magic array.

Lu Jingkun acted swiftly; after Lu Cheng'an left, he relayed Lu Cheng'an's message to Lu Chengzhuo and the others.

When Lu Cheng'an returned to Jin Ding Mountain, Lu Chengzhuo and the other Nascent Soul cultivators had already left.

The cultivators of the Lu family at the Golden Core stage did not leave Golden Cauldron Mountain; their strength was too weak.

If you enter places where demonic energy has not been purified, you may encounter danger.

The cultivators, including Master Qinghe, who were about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, were in seclusion at Jinding Mountain, seeking an opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

“Jingkun, these are the scriptures for constructing a purification magic array and the materials for constructing a fourth-order top-grade purification magic array. Let’s study them together and refine the array flags and array plates needed to construct the fourth-order top-grade purification magic array as soon as possible,” Lu Cheng’an said quickly.

The array flags, array plates, and other items needed to construct the array are all magical artifacts and treasures. Array masters cannot craft these items themselves, so they need the assistance of artifact refiners.

After arriving at Jinding Mountain, Lu Jingkun studied the fifth-order mid-grade purification magic array there, and now he has a certain understanding of purification magic arrays.

A fourth-tier top-grade purification magic array is much simpler than a fifth-tier mid-grade purification magic array. Lu Jingkun, a fifth-tier low-grade array master, found the construction method of a fourth-tier top-grade purification magic array quite easy.

Lu Cheng'an was also exchanging ideas with Lu Jingkun, but their conversation revolved around the crafting of array flags and array plates.

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun made rapid progress. After nearly a month of research, they were confident that they could build a top-grade fourth-tier purification magic array.

Lu Jingkun followed Lu Cheng'an into the weapon-refining room and together they refined the array plates and flags needed to build the purification magic array.

Both array flags and array plates are magical artifacts, and relatively easy to craft.

After spending about half a month, Lu Cheng'an completed the crafting of all the array flags and array plates needed to build the fourth-order top-grade purification magic array.

"I'll go set up a top-grade fourth-tier purification magic array now. Uncle Cheng'an, continue refining the array plates and flags needed to build the purification magic array!" Lu Jingkun said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an has only refined a set of array plates and array flags needed to construct a purification magic array.

Now that Lu Cheng'an has mastered the method of refining these array plates and array flags, there is no point in him staying here any longer.

He can save some time by setting up the purification magic array now.

After Lu Jingkun left, Lu Chengan continued to refine the array plates and array flags needed to build the fourth-order purification magic array at Jinding Mountain.

Array plates and array flags are not particularly difficult to craft; they are considered standard magical artifacts.

Lu Cheng'an has successfully refined one set, making subsequent refinements much easier.

A month and a half later, Lu Cheng'an finished refining the remaining two sets of array plates and array flags needed to build the fourth-order top-grade purification magic array.

At this time, Lu Jingkun also successfully constructed a purification magic array at a place near Jin Ding Mountain where a demonic vein was located.

There aren't many demonic veins here; only two have reached the fourth rank.

Lu Jingkun constructed a fourth-order top-grade purification magic array, and with him, a fifth-order spirit array master, personally controlling it, he pushed the power of the fourth-order top-grade purification magic array to its limit.

Without relying on any external aids, solely on the power of that fourth-tier top-grade purification magic array, after Lu Cheng'an refined the remaining two sets of array plates and array flags needed to build the purification magic array, he also successfully transformed the demonic vein there into a spiritual vein.

After Lu Jingkun transformed the demonic vein there into a spiritual vein, Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters from the Lu family followed suit and began planting spiritual herbs there.

After converting the demonic veins there into spiritual veins, Lu Jingkun took the set of top-grade fourth-tier purification magic array with him.

This place is still within the territory occupied by demonic cultivators in Qian Yuan Prefecture, so there is still a risk of being invaded by demonic energy. However, spiritual herbs can, to some extent, resist the invasion of demonic energy.

These spiritual lands with fourth-order spiritual veins are of no use to the Lu family now, so it would be better to plant a batch of spiritual herbs in these spiritual lands first.

The plant masters of the Lu family, including Lu Yonghui, cultivate second- and third-tier spiritual herbs. These herbs are not particularly valuable, but they do have an advantage: their growth cycle is not too long.

Under the cultivation of plant masters such as Lu Yonghui, these second and third-tier spiritual herbs can mature in a very short time.

The Lu family did this because these transformed spiritual sites would still be useful in the future.

Once Lu Jingkun has converted all the demonic veins in the area occupied by the Lu family into spiritual veins, he will move some spiritual peaks into Jinding Mountain to prepare for the construction of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, Lu Jingkun immediately returned to Jinding Mountain and took the remaining two sets of array flags and array plates for building a fourth-order top-grade purification magic array from Lu Cheng'an.

This time, Lu Jingkun also brought along some fourth-tier spirit array masters from the Lu family, the Lotus Flower Sect, and other sects to help build a purification magic array.

The area they currently occupy still has a considerable number of demonic veins. There are currently three sets of array flags for constructing a fourth-tier top-grade purification magic array. If he were to construct it alone, it would take too much time.

The fourth-tier spirit array masters from the Lu family and the Lotus Flower Sect, among others, did not reach the highest level of fourth-tier quality. However, with Lu Jingkun's guidance, these fourth-tier spirit array masters could still construct a high-quality fourth-tier purification magic array if they worked together.

Time passed slowly, and two years went by in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Lu Jingkun, along with fourth-tier spirit array masters from the Lu family and the Lotus Flower Sect, had already converted all the demonic veins in the area they occupied into spirit veins.

Lu Yonghui and other spirit plant masters moved extremely fast. These third and fourth-level spirit plant masters planted second and third-level spirit herbs in these newly transformed spirit lands to prevent new demonic energy from growing in these spirit lands.

Lu Chengzhuo and other Nascent Soul cultivators have not been idle in the past two years; they have been searching for spirit mineral resources in the area occupied by the Lu family.

The area that Mengyuan Prefecture seized from Qianyuan Prefecture this time is extremely vast, and there must be spirit mines within it.

In the past two years, Lu Chengzhuo and his companions have also made considerable progress, finding a total of two fifth-order spirit mines, eleven fourth-order spirit mines, thirty-two and thirty-three-order spirit mines, forty-eight second-order spirit mines, and seventy-nine first-order spirit mines.

This place has been occupied by demonic cultivators for many years, and these spiritual mines have been transformed into demonic mines.

If the Lu family wants to reactivate these spirit mines, they will need to use the power of the purification magic array to purify all the demonic energy within them.

The Lu family still has a lot of these spirit mine resources for the time being. Even if all the demonic energy in these spirit mines is purified, the Lu family will not be able to spare any manpower to mine them.

Therefore, after Lu Chengzhuo and others found these mineral deposits, they simply left behind monuments in these places to inform other cultivators that these places belonged to their Lu family.

"Uncle Cheng'an, have you collected all the materials needed to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation? I've already found the spiritual peaks for building the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation. All we need to do next is move those spiritual peaks to Jinding Mountain, and then we can start building the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation!" Lu Jingkun said with a hint of excitement.

He has been building purification magic arrays for the past two years, and he is now very familiar with this type of array. He is now confident that he can build a fifth-tier low-grade purification magic array.

Of course, what he improved was not only his skill in constructing the Purification Magic Array, but also his overall skill in constructing spirit arrays.

He had a feeling that if he completed the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, he would be confident in breaking through to become a mid-grade fifth-level spirit array master.

If he were to study it further, he might be able to upgrade the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation to the middle grade of the fifth rank.

The power of the fifth-order mid-grade Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Formation is extremely formidable. If he were to activate it at full power, he was confident that he could withstand the attack of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array is incredibly powerful, but it also requires a great deal of materials to build this fifth-order spirit array.

The most basic requirement is to cultivate four spirit peaks with fifth-order spirit veins in Jinding Mountain. Currently, Jinding Mountain does indeed have four fifth-order spirit veins, but these four fifth-order spirit veins are located in two spirit peaks.

For the past two years, Lu Cheng'an has been asking the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect to help him collect materials for building the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, as well as information about the fifth-order spirit vein beads.

Spirit Vein Beads are used to cultivate fifth-order spirit veins. Even though the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yin Hua Sect have none left, finding Spirit Vein Beads will not be an easy task for them.

Lu Cheng'an had originally planned to exchange his Demon Hunter Points for a Tier 5 Spirit Vein Bead, but things took a turn for the better not long ago.

"There are still some materials needed to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation. The Wanbao Conference in Lingxu City, Lizhou, will be held in ten years. We will definitely be able to collect all the materials needed to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation at the Wanbao Conference."

"Next, I will summon all the cultivators in the family who are skilled in various arts of cultivation, such as weapon refiners and alchemists, and have them focus on refining magical artifacts and elixirs. We will then use these items to exchange for resources," Lu Cheng'an said with a hint of helplessness.

The Wanbao Conference will surely produce a large number of treasures, but the Lu family currently lacks sufficient resources.

Even if they encounter the treasures they need at the Wanbao Conference, it will be difficult to obtain them without sufficient resources.

Lu Cheng'an is a fifth-order weapon refiner, Shi Ningyu is a fifth-order alchemist, and Lu Jingkun is a fifth-order spirit array master. Before the opening of the Myriad Treasures Gathering in Lingxu City, they can refine some fifth-order magic weapons, pills, and sets of magic arrays, so that they can earn more resources at the Myriad Treasures Gathering and use them to purchase treasures to build the mountain gate.

"The Lingxu City Treasure Gathering?" Lu Jingkun asked with some doubt.

"Lingxu City is the largest immortal city built by the Lingxu Sect, a refining sect in Lizhou, and the Lingxu Sect is also the most powerful refining sect in Lizhou."

"The opening of the Lingxu City Treasure Gathering will not only attract many Nascent Soul cultivators, but also powerful beings at the Void Refinement realm," Lu Cheng'an explained.

The three major Void Refinement Realm forces in Lizhou are the Lingxu Sect, the Jinyan Sect, and the Yuqiu Hu Clan. Among them, the Lingxu Sect is the most powerful, with a total of thirteen Void Refinement Realm cultivators, including one at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.

The Hu clan of Yuqiu has the fewest cultivators at the Refinement of Void realm, with only five. Among these five cultivators, one is at the Perfection of Void realm.

Although the Yuqiu Hu clan itself was weak, it had an extremely powerful backer.

One of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yuqiu Hu clan was a concubine of a Dao Integration Realm expert from the Qinghua Sect in the Eastern Continent.

The Hu family of Yuqiu had frequent interactions with that Dao Integration Realm expert from the Qinghua Sect.

Although the Lingxu Sect has many experts at the Refinement Realm, they are no match for the Dao Integration Realm expert from the Qinghua Sect, because the Dao Integration Realm expert from the Qinghua Sect is not at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

However, even Master Tianyun didn't know his specific cultivation level; this information was all given to Lu Cheng'an by Master Tianyun. (End of Chapter)
