Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The reason why Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters of the Lu family were able to cultivate so many low-level spiritual herbs was due to special circumstances.

The spiritual lands in Qian Yuan Prefecture were all recently transformed by the Lu family using purification magic arrays. Moreover, there are not many cultivators from the Lu family who have left the Burial Immortal Land, so these spiritual lands are left vacant and can be used to grow low-grade spiritual herbs.

It was for this reason that the Lu family was able to sell all of these low-grade spiritual herbs.

Otherwise, the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages of the Lu family would need to expend a considerable amount of energy.

In addition, these low-grade spiritual herbs were cultivated by high-level spiritual plant masters such as Lu Yonghui, which greatly shortened their growth time.

Once Lu Jingkun successfully sets up the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation on Jinding Mountain, Lu Yonghui will still need to cultivate a separate spiritual peak on Jinding Mountain for planting spiritual herbs.

At that time, he will focus his energy on cultivating high-level spiritual herbs, since only high-level spiritual herbs are useful to cultivators like Lu Cheng'an with high cultivation levels.

Especially fifth-tier spiritual herbs, which are very difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators to purchase even with spirit pearls, and are basically obtained through barter.

"These second and third-tier spiritual herbs are indeed useful to our Yin Hua Sect, but there are simply too many of them. We might not be able to consume them all!"

Master Tianyun sighed softly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, there should still be high-level spirit plant masters in your clan!"

Master Tianyun's feelings were somewhat complicated. The number of cultivators in the Lu family didn't seem to be very large, but there were far too many of them who were talented in the various arts of cultivation.

Now he has discovered that the Lu family has a high-level spirit plant master.

"He can't be considered a high-level spirit plant master yet. He's only at the late Nascent Soul stage and can't cultivate fifth-grade spirit herbs," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Lu Yonghui's cultivation level is currently at the late Nascent Soul stage. It hasn't been long since he broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and he will need quite a bit more time to break through to the Deity Transformation stage.

Lu Yonghui's talent for cultivation is no less than Lu Jingkun's, so Lu Cheng'an is not worried that Lu Yonghui will not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After glancing at Lu Cheng'an, Master Tianyun said with some helplessness, "Our Yin Hua Sect will take all these spiritual herbs. The total price is 20,000 spirit pearls. What do you think?"

These second and third-tier spiritual herbs are used to refine pills that enhance cultivation and heal injuries. These pills have a wide range of uses and can be refined on a large scale.

Finished pills can be stored for a long time. As long as these spiritual herbs are refined into pills, they can be stored for a very long time.

The Yin Hua Sect has many cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, and its annual consumption of second- and third-tier pills is enormous.

Lu Cheng'an has indeed brought out a considerable number of second- and third-tier spiritual herbs, but the Yin Hua Sect will not be able to use them for very long.

It's just that Lu Cheng'an's offering of so many second- and third-tier pills at once seemed a bit excessive to Tianyun Shangren.

“Then let’s do as the sect leader says!” Lu Cheng’an agreed with a smile.

This price was within his budget, and if Yin Huazong could buy it all, he would definitely agree.

After handing over the spiritual herbs to Master Tianyun, Lu Cheng'an quickly received 20,000 spirit pearls from him.

Lu Cheng'an still has 40,000 spirit pearls, and if he adds 20,000 spirit pearls, he will have 60,000 spirit pearls in his possession.

This was no small sum, but Lu Cheng'an still felt it wasn't enough.

Fortunately, he still had a low-grade fifth-tier defensive magic weapon, two mid-grade fifth-tier defensive magic weapons, and a low-grade fifth-tier magic array.

If these treasures are added, it should be enough for him to purchase what he needs.

"I have already told you about the Treasure Fair in Lingxu City. The treasures at the fair are auctioned off by the Lingxu Sect, and the highest bidder wins. These treasures are all purchased with spirit pearls."

“In the trade fairs among cultivators before the Wanbao Gathering, spirit pearls are rarely used for transactions; barter is the norm.”

"There are more types of treasures at the auction, and the quality of the treasures is guaranteed by the Lingxu Sect, so there's nothing to worry about. However, the prices will be relatively higher, and with our wealth, there aren't many things we can buy at the auction."

"Therefore, the goal of both me and the Old Ghost of Ten Thousand Corpses is to participate in the trading fairs among cultivators of the same level. As long as we attend more fairs, there is still a high chance that we will encounter the treasures we desire."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu has any treasures prepared for the transaction?" Master Tianyun inquired.

"I have prepared a set of fifth-grade low-level formations, a fifth-grade low-level defensive magic weapon, and two fifth-grade mid-level defensive magic weapons. I wonder if this is enough?"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly and said, "The sect leader knows what I need. I wonder if I can exchange for what I need at the trade fair among cultivators of the same level, especially fifth-order spirit vein beads!"

Lu Cheng'an had previously asked Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren to help him find materials for building the Tiangang Disha Formation and treasures such as the fifth-order spiritual vein beads.

What he lacks now is precisely what neither Tianyun Shangren nor Wanshi Laoren could help him find.

"A mid-grade fifth-tier defensive magic weapon!"

Master Tianyun looked at Lu Cheng'an with surprise and quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu can refine a mid-grade fifth-order magic weapon!"

How could Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills have improved so quickly in such a short time? Wouldn't he soon be able to help them refine the fifth-grade mid-level Yin Gathering Pool and the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag?
"I can now refine mid-grade fifth-tier magic treasures. However, this time I'm refining the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor, a defensive magic treasure with relatively low refining difficulty. I probably don't yet have the ability to refine complex mid-grade fifth-tier magic treasures like the Gathering Yin Pool or the Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag."

After seeing Tianyun Shangren's reaction, Lu Cheng'an knew what Tianyun Shangren was planning, so he gave Tianyun Shangren a heads-up.

"I have faith in Fellow Daoist Lu's abilities. Now that Fellow Daoist Lu can refine a mid-grade fifth-rank defensive magic weapon, I believe that it won't be long before Fellow Daoist Lu is able to refine a mid-grade fifth-rank Yin Gathering Pool and a Seven Elements Nourishing Spirit Flag."

Master Tianyun laughed and said, "These things you have brought out are more than enough to exchange for the materials you need. It might be a little difficult to exchange them for Spirit Vein Pearls, but now that you've become a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner, you can exchange them for Spirit Vein Pearls by helping other Nascent Soul cultivators refine magic weapons!"

Even in a sect like Lingxu Sect, which specializes in refining the Void Realm, the number of mid-grade fifth-level weapon refiners is not very large.

There are many Nascent Soul cultivators who went to Lingxu City to participate in the Myriad Treasures Gathering, but only a few Nascent Soul cultivators have the ability to ask a mid-grade fifth-level weapon refiner to refine a magic weapon that suits them.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators lack the ability or opportunity to find a mid-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner to forge fifth-tier magic weapons.

Although the Spirit Vein Pearl is quite precious, some rogue cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are very likely to possess such a treasure, and these rogue cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are often the least likely to have fifth-tier magic weapons.

"Then I will take the sect leader's good wishes and hope that this trip to Lingxu City will allow me to trade for the treasures I need."

"Certainly possible."

Master Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "We will take the teleportation array to the Desire Spirit Sect first, where we will meet up with the Old Ghost of Ten Thousand Corpses. After that, we will go to the Cloud Sea Sect together with Fellow Daoist Wen." Fellow Daoist Wen, whom Master Tianyun mentioned, is Wen Muyu of the Desire Spirit Sect. Her cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This time, the Desire Spirit Sect sent her to Lingxu City to purchase the treasures needed by the Desire Spirit Sect.

Hongying Yuanjun is the strongest among the Nascent Soul cultivators in Mengyuan Prefecture. This time, with the Wanbao Gathering being held in Lingxu City, both Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren, late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, will be leaving Mengyuan Prefecture.

If Hongying Yuanjun also leaves Mengyuan Prefecture, then the defensive strength of Mengyuan Prefecture will be greatly weakened.

Although the three states of Mengyuan, Jinhua, and Yunhai had previously joined forces to inflict heavy losses on the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan, they could not guarantee that the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan would not take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

After explaining things to Lu Cheng'an, Master Tianyun didn't waste any time and immediately took Lu Cheng'an on a teleportation array to head towards the Desire Spirit Sect.

The teleportation array connecting Yin Hua Sect to Yu Ling Sect is not located within the mountain gate of Yin Hua City, but rather in a celestial city not far from the mountain gate of Yin Hua Sect.

The teleportation array of the Desire Spirit Sect is the same, also built in the immortal city not far from the sect's mountain gate.

The teleportation array was faster than Lu Cheng'an's spatial folding technique. After the teleportation array was activated, Lu Cheng'an and Tianyun Shangren quickly arrived at the immortal city built by the Yuling Sect.

There are also Nascent Soul cultivators guarding this immortal city from the Desire Spirit Sect.

Wen Muyu, who is now heading to Lingxu City from the Desire Spirit Sect, is already waiting in the Immortal City for the arrival of Tianyun Shangren, Wanshi Laoren, and Lu Cheng'an.

After Lu Cheng'an and Master Tianyun emerged from the teleportation array, Master Tianyun immediately took Lu Cheng'an to find Wen Muyu.

"Fellow Daoist Wen!"

After greeting Wen Muyu, Tianyun Shangren and Lu Cheng'an turned their attention to the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder standing to the side.

"You old ghost of ten thousand corpses, you're quite fast this time!" Master Tianyun said with a smile.

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses glanced at Master Tianyun, but ignored him and greeted Lu Cheng'an with a smile.

Because the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun both sought out Lu Cheng'an to refine a fifth-tier magic weapon, and because of the upcoming opening of the Corpse Demon Secret Realm, the relationship between the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun became much more harmonious.

Under normal circumstances, however, the two of them still look down on each other.

“Now that everyone has arrived, let’s not waste any more time and head straight to Yunhai City. What do you three think?” Wen Muyu asked.

Yunhai City is a celestial city built by the Yunhai Sect, and it is not far from the sect's mountain gate.

They need to go to Yunhai City first to meet up with the cultivators from Yunhai Sect, Wanlei Sect, and Mingyue Mountain, and then they will head to Lingxu City together.

Now, due to the influence of demonic cultivators, the barriers between human and demon cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm have disappeared, and cultivators from both races can interact peacefully.

Therefore, the demon cultivators from Mingyue Mountain will also travel to Lingxu City to participate in the Wanbao Gathering hosted by the human race's Lianxu Sect.

"Then let's follow Fellow Daoist Wen's advice and head to Cloud Sea City as soon as possible!" Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

The teleportation array leading to Cloudsea City was opened by the Desire Spirit Sect, but since the other end of the teleportation array is connected to Cloudsea City, the cultivators of the Desire Spirit Sect still needed to discuss it with the cultivators of the Cloudsea Sect before opening it.

Hongying Yuanjun had already informed the cultivators of Yunhai Sect, and the teleportation array leading to Yunhai City could be activated at any time.

After the three, including Master Tianyun, agreed, Wen Muyu led them toward the teleportation array leading to the Yunhai Sect.

With the teleportation array activated, Lu Cheng'an and his companions quickly arrived at Yunhai City.

The Yunhai Sect is stronger than the Yuling Sect, and Yunhai City is also larger in scale.

The city has an even greater number of teleportation arrays, which connect to the immortal cities built by various cultivation factions.

However, Lingxu City is too far from Yunhai Prefecture, and the strength of Lingxu Sect far surpasses that of Yunhai Sect. Yunhai Sect is not yet capable of building a teleportation array leading to Lingxu City.

Therefore, after the cultivators from the three states of Yunhai Prefecture gathered in Yunhai City, they needed to use the teleportation array in Yunhai City to travel to Lingxu City one by one.

Short-distance teleportation, such as between the three states of Yunhai Prefecture, is fine, as each teleportation does not consume many resources.

However, if the teleportation distance is relatively long, each activation of the teleportation array will consume a great deal of resources.

Therefore, this kind of long-distance teleportation can only be activated after a sufficient number of cultivators have gathered.

This is also the main reason why the cultivators from the three states of Yunhai Prefecture set off for Lingxu City ahead of time, because if they were unlucky, they might have to spend a lot of time on the road.

If they had arrived in Lingxu City only when the Wanbao Conference was about to begin, they might have missed a lot of opportunities.

After arriving in Yunhai City, Lu Cheng'an and his three companions from Mengyuan Prefecture first visited the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yunhai Sect. Then, under the arrangement of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yunhai Sect, they temporarily settled in Yunhai City.

The demon cultivators from Mingyue Mountain in Jinhua Prefecture have not yet arrived, and even if they did arrive now, the teleportation array in Yunhai City would not be activated immediately.

This is because the Cloud Sea Sect is going to activate a long-distance teleportation array within Cloud Sea City, with the other end of the teleportation array located in Giant Wood City of the Ten Thousand Wood Sect in Linzhou.

Yunhai Prefecture and Lin Prefecture are separated by two prefectures, and the two cities are extremely far apart. Each teleportation array requires a great deal of resources.

It took Lu Cheng'an and his three companions nearly a month after arriving in Yunhai City for the teleportation array connecting Yunhai City to Jumu City to be activated.

It took them more than half a year to finally arrive at Lingxu City after several detours.

Lingxu City is a large city for cultivating immortality, established by the Lingxu Sect of the Refining Void Sect. The city has a vast space and a large number of cultivators.

This immortal city was created by the ancestors of the Lingxu Sect using great magical power to extract a secret space from the endless void.

The giant immortal cities built by powerful sects like Lingxu Sect are basically spatial secret realms extracted from the endless void.

Not only in the Immortal City, but also within their mountain gates, numerous secret realms have been incorporated.

These secret realms possess various unique environments that allow cultivators to rapidly increase their speed and continuously enhance the strength of their sects.

This was Lu Cheng'an's first time visiting a massive immortal city like Lingxu City, and he made no attempt to hide his astonishment upon witnessing its bustling prosperity. (End of Chapter)
