Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Of course, Lu Cheng'an has no intention of fighting the sect leader of the Demon-Attracting Sect for the time being. He will wait until the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation is completely completed before making a move.

At that time, Lu Jingkun will be able to rely on the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation to block the attack of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator attacks Golden Cauldron Mountain, Lu Cheng'an will no longer need to worry about the safety of his family.

"I will soon refine the array flags needed to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array. While I am refining the array flags, you should also prepare to build a small teleportation array."

"The other end of this teleportation array is located near the Heavenly Corpse Sect. I will send a message to the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses later to obtain his consent," Lu Cheng'an said.

The Lu family has established deep friendships with the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect, and these friendships are based on mutual interests, making them the most stable.

They have now built a small teleportation array near the Yin Hua Sect's mountain gate.

Lu Cheng'an's main purpose in having Lu Jingkun build a teleportation array near the Heavenly Corpse Sect's mountain gate was to seek the Heavenly Corpse Sect's assistance in the future.

Next, he really intended to lure the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture to attack Jinding Mountain. If the Lu family's own strength was insufficient to defeat them, then he would summon cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect and the Yinhua Sect.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren are both at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the strength of these two sects has increased significantly.

If the three of them join forces, they can hold out for a period of time even if a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm attacks them.

There are only two cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm in the entire Qian Yuan Prefecture. If these two demonic cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm make any unusual moves, they will definitely be noticed by the White Wolf Emperor and Qing Yunzi.

This could potentially trigger another large-scale battle in the three states of Mengyuan and Qianyuan.

After Lu Jingkun left Lu Cheng'an's cave, Lu Cheng'an immediately sent a message to the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses.

The Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses and the Venerable Tianyun are not currently in Mengyuan Prefecture. They are with the Old Daoist Baicao, waiting for the fifth-tier top-grade alchemist at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm to refine the Fire Deer Pill.

The first thing that top-tier fifth-grade alchemist refined was the mid-grade fifth-grade Fire Deer Pill, since this grade of Fire Deer Pill was the easiest to refine, and it could also accumulate experience for refining high-grade and top-grade fifth-grade Fire Deer Pills.

The fifth-grade alchemist has already refined four fifth-grade mid-level Fire Deer Pills, and he is currently refining the second batch of fifth-grade mid-level Fire Deer Pills.

The success rate of this batch of fifth-grade mid-level Fire Deer Pills will be higher, possibly reaching five or six pills.

After telling Lu Cheng'an about the process of refining the Fire Deer Pill, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Corpses inquired about Lu Cheng'an's cultivation breakthrough before finally bringing up the matter Lu Cheng'an had asked about.

He didn't take the matter to heart; Lu Cheng'an could find a place to build a teleportation array anywhere near the Heavenly Corpse Sect's mountain gate.

After thanking the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses in his reply, Lu Cheng'an did not hide the news of his breakthrough in cultivation.

After finishing his communication with the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses, Lu Cheng'an reassured Lu Jingkun to build a teleportation array near the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Lu Cheng'an had already completed the crafting of the array flags and array plates needed to build the teleportation array. Lu Jingkun only needed to complete the array base setup to build the teleportation array at any time.

Building a small, short-range teleportation array of the fifth rank was not a difficult task for Lu Jingkun. He completed the array base setup in just over three months.

It then took nearly another month to completely complete the construction of the teleportation array.

When Lu Jingkun returned to Jinding Mountain, Lu Chengan was still in seclusion in his cave, refining the array flags needed to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array.

The fifth-grade low-rank Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Formation requires a total of nine fifth-grade low-rank array flags, and it took Lu Cheng'an two and a half years to refine these nine fifth-grade low-rank array flags.

The crafting difficulty of third and fourth-tier array flags is relatively low. Lu Cheng'an can craft array flags of this tier in a very short time. However, an extremely large number of array flags of this tier are required.

A total of 540 fourth-order array flags and 1,080 third-order array flags were needed. Lu Cheng'an spent even longer refining these third and fourth-order array flags, taking a total of four years.

Because he still lacked the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk, Lu Cheng'an still had a small number of array flags that he had not yet refined.

After he had crafted all the array flags he could, he handed them over to Lu Jingkun.

After that, he went directly to the Green Copper Mother Mine within the territory of the Demon-Attracting Sect to investigate whether there was any Earthly Fiend Mystic Spirit Milk in the Green Copper Mother Mine.

The message sent back by True Monarch Youlian was very detailed, including a detailed map of the territory of the Demon-Attracting Sect, with the location of the green copper mother mine clearly marked on the map.

"The information sent back by Youlian is correct. This is indeed the location of the green copper mother mine. I just don't know what Youlian encountered that allowed her to find out this information!"

The green copper mother ore has been transformed by the Demon-Attracting Sect for many years, and most of this deposit has been transformed by the Demon-Attracting Sect.

The green copper mother stone produced by this mine can be used to refine various fifth-tier magical treasures and magical artifacts, bringing considerable income to the Demon Summoning Sect.

Therefore, this green copper mother mine was highly valued by the Demon-Attracting Sect, and a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Demon-Attracting Sect was stationed in this mine.

After investigating the details of the green copper mother ore, Lu Cheng'an returned directly to Jinding Mountain.

Because in addition to the mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator guarding that green copper mother mine, there was also a fifth-order demonic array set up.

With Lu Cheng'an's strength, he could forcefully break through, but it would inevitably alert the Nascent Soul demon cultivators of the Demon-Attracting Sect, making it extremely difficult for him to find the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk nurtured in the mine.

Lu Cheng'an discovered that the demonic array in the green copper mother mine was of the fifth-grade lower level. Lu Jingkun was a fifth-grade lower level spirit array master. Lu Cheng'an believed that Lu Jingkun was capable of leading him into the green copper mother mine without alerting the mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivator.

When Lu Cheng'an returned to Jinding Mountain, Lu Jingkun had just finished refining the array flags that Lu Cheng'an had made, and had not yet had time to build the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array.

After explaining the situation of the green copper mother ore to Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an took Lu Jingkun directly to the location of the green copper mother ore.

After Lu Cheng'an's cultivation broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the power of his supernatural abilities such as spatial folding was indeed greatly enhanced.

He can now use his spatial folding magic to teleport up to 700,000 li (approximately 35,000 kilometers), which is an extremely long distance.

Even cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to achieve such speed.

However, cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage possess a certain ability to confine space. When facing a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Cheng'an might not be able to unleash the power of his spatial folding technique.

That's why he asked the Green-Faced Ghost King to help him find the chaotic power of the spatial way in the Netherworld, so that he could deepen his understanding of the spatial way.

This not only enhances the power of the spatial folding technique, but also breaks the spatial confinement imposed by cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Green-Faced Ghost King had already found such a place for Lu Cheng'an, but Lu Cheng'an had never had the time to enter the Netherworld again.

"Jingkun, this is where the green copper mother mine is located. Are you confident that you can break through the magic array here and enter it?" Lu Chengan asked.

"The array is a fifth-grade low-level formation. It's not difficult to break through and enter!" A confident smile appeared on Lu Jingkun's face. The moment his voice fell, his hands quickly formed a series of hand seals. Spiritual light appeared and condensed into magic seals, which were then sent into the array in front of him.

The fifth-order low-grade magic array of the green copper mother ore is a demonic magic array, with surging demonic energy surging within it.

Previously, Lu Jingkun had gained a deep understanding of demonic energy in order to build a purification magic array.

Therefore, he was able to break through this fifth-grade low-level demonic array without alerting the demonic cultivator who was stationed at the Green Copper Mother Mine.

Half an hour later, Lu Jingkun withdrew the magic seal, having already opened an opening in the demonic magic array.

"Uncle Cheng'an, we can go in now!" Lu Jingkun said with a smile.

Lu Chengan nodded slightly and flashed into the green copper mother ore.

The green copper mother ore is buried extremely deep underground, which is why it makes it more difficult for the Demon-Attracting Sect to transform the green copper mother ore.

The deepest part of the green copper mother ore has not yet been fully transformed, and that is also the place where the Earthly Fiend Mystic Spirit Milk may be born.

"The Demon-Attracting Sect is really going all out, actually using so many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core level demon cultivators to mine green copper ore!"

After discovering a large number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core level demonic cultivators in the mine, Lu Jingkun's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

“After all, the Demon-Attracting Sect is a Nascent Soul Demon Sect, and its sect leader is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. The Demon-Attracting Sect attaches great importance to the Green Copper Demon Mine. The people stationed here are all mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivators. It is understandable that they would send so many Foundation Establishment and Core Formation demon cultivators to mine the Green Copper Ore,” Lu Cheng’an transmitted his voice.

"The one in charge of the Green Copper Mother Mine from the Demon-Attracting Sect is Yin Demon Child, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. After we finish searching the Green Copper Mother Mine, should we make a move against him?"

A hint of excitement appeared in Lu Jingkun's eyes. He hadn't really fought since his cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm!
Having been away from the Burial Ground of Immortals for so many years, he has gained some understanding of the outside world.

Knowing that killing demonic cultivators can earn Demon Hunter Points, which are extremely valuable and can be exchanged for any treasures needed through the Demon Hunter Ranking.

Yin Mozi's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If he is killed, one can directly obtain thirty Demon Hunting Points, which can be exchanged for many precious cultivation resources.

"I had the same idea!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Lu Jingkun, continuing to transmit his voice: "The Green Copper Mother Mine only has Yin Mozi, a mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator. I'll deal with him. You go and kill all the remaining demon cultivators. Don't let a single one escape!"

"Uncle Cheng'an, don't worry, I won't let a single demonic cultivator escape!" Lu Jingkun assured him.

He felt a slight pang of regret, though, as he actually wanted to fight Yin Mozi, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, he also knew that now was not a good time. This battle had to be ended quickly, otherwise it would attract other Nascent Soul cultivators and make his and Uncle Cheng'an's situation even more dangerous.

While Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun were communicating telepathically, they had already swiftly disappeared deep underground into the green copper mother mine.

There is only one Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator stationed at the Green Copper Mother Mine. After Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun evaded the Yin Demon Child's detection and entered the Green Copper Mother Mine, it became very difficult for the Yin Demon Child to discover their presence.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an and his companion appeared at a depth of ten thousand feet underground in the Green Copper Mother Mine, in the area that had not been transformed by the Demon-Attracting Sect.

The green copper ore here is a spiritual object suitable for righteous cultivators.

The demonic cultivators of the Demon-Attracting Sect usually do not set foot in this place, and the green copper mother stone nurtured here has never been mined.

Upon arriving in this area, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun sensed the presence of numerous green copper mother stones, including some of the fifth-order green copper mother stones.

“We’ll split up and, besides searching for the Earthly Fiend Mystic Spirit Milk, if we come across any Green Copper Mother Stones of Rank 4 or higher, we’ll take them all!” Lu Cheng’an said.

The area covered by the green copper ore is extremely vast, so splitting up the operation can save a lot of time.

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun are both Nascent Soul cultivators, and it is much easier for them to mine the green copper mother stone than for those demonic cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

They only needed to slightly activate their magic to extract the green copper mother stone from the hard stone wall.

Time passed slowly, and six hours went by in the blink of an eye.

“Uncle Cheng’an, I have found a fifth-order Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk. The quality of the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk nurtured here is very high, and its grade has reached the middle grade of the fifth order.”

"The Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk I found can be broken down into twenty-three portions of fifth-grade low-level Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk, which is enough to construct a fifth-grade low-level Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Array!"

After meeting up with Lu Cheng'an, Lu Jingkun was beaming with excitement and immediately told Lu Cheng'an about his find.

"Besides the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk, I also found four portions of fifth-grade high-quality, six portions of fifth-grade mid-quality, and nine portions of fifth-grade low-quality green copper mother stone. It was quite a fruitful haul!"

Green copper mother stone can be used to construct many magical artifacts and treasures, and its value is not low.

The fifth-tier green copper mother stones that Lu Jingkun found could be exchanged for about 50,000 spirit pearls.

Of course, the reason why Lu Jingkun had such a great harvest was that the green copper mother stone produced by the green copper mother ore had not been mined for many years.

These things are of no use to demonic cultivators.

The green copper mother mine is controlled by the Demon-Attracting Sect, and it is located in a relatively deep part of Qian Yuan Prefecture, so naturally no righteous Nascent Soul cultivators dare to come here to search for the green copper mother stone.

If the Lu family hadn't been searching for the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk needed to build the mountain-protecting formation, they wouldn't have entered the Green Copper Mother Mine.

"Uncle Cheng'an, how was your harvest?" Lu Jingkun asked with a smile.

"I wasn't as lucky as you. I only found two portions of fifth-grade high-quality Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk and two portions of fifth-grade top-quality Green Copper Mother Stone," Lu Cheng'an said with some helplessness.

He really did find this little bit, and it was in the last area; otherwise, he might have found nothing.

"Two sets of fifth-grade high-quality Earthly Fiend Mystic Spirit Talismans, and two sets of fifth-grade top-quality Green Copper Mother Stones!"

Lu Jingkun exclaimed in surprise, "Although Uncle Cheng'an found a small number of treasures, their value far exceeds mine!"

The higher the grade of a treasure, the higher its value. Although the quantity of the Earthly Fiend Profound Spirit Milk and Green Copper Mother Stone that Lu Cheng'an found was small, their value was extremely high. (End of Chapter)
