Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 134: Poison Fire Pool
Eastern Esoteric Buddhism, Lingyuanye.

The two stood on the clouds and looked towards the Wuhuang in the east. The barbarians with tattoos on their faces were fighting for their respective masters, holding swords and weapons, carrying all kinds of exotic beasts. The whole Wuhuang was like boiling porridge, with no peace anywhere.

Gray, black, and even colorful miasma continuously poured out from the mountains. Human heads were neatly piled on the low hills. Some were from barbarians, some from immortal cultivators. They had all been pickled and displayed there as some kind of landscape, stretching endlessly.

Xu Xuan silently watched everything in front of him. Wuhuang had become a chaotic land. After Tiandushan left, the remaining foundation builders started a war that continues to this day.

"Has the Zhu family sent someone in?"

His gaze was deep, looking far into the depths of Wuhuang. However, due to the miasma of the mountains, it was difficult to see anything.

The thin man following behind him frowned, his yellow eyes flashed, and then he looked into the distance. It was Xu Fayan, who had now reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"The sect has sent people to investigate and even asked the Liu family. The Zhu family's patriarch took action and went from the east side of the plain, killing a person in the late Foundation Establishment stage. No witches dared to stop him along the way, and now he has occupied a sacred place."

Xu Xuan seemed to be lost in thought, with bits of lightning gradually gathering in his pupils, and the aura of foundation building faintly emanating from him.

"Zhu Yucheng is indeed experienced and cunning. He has a big plan in mind when he makes a move. Even though Sky Poison Mountain has been removed, there are still many sacred mountains nearby. That is the mountain where the Purple Mansion's power is located. Only the Chen family can compare with it."

The wind was so strong that it made the sleeves of the two men rustle. Xu Fayan sniffed the bloody smell in the air. His tone was filled with excitement as he whispered:
"Master, we must intervene. Not to mention the sacred mountain, we can move a few sacred peaks that produce spiritual objects, which are all valuable."

The Wuhuang region is currently in the most chaotic time, with the foundation-building cultivators fighting each other fiercely. How many people are on guard against the immortal cultivators?

If Tiandushan had just left, the immortal cultivators would have come here after smelling the scent, and these witches who were building their foundation might have joined forces. But now the situation is completely different, and it is a good time to make plans.

"It would be best if we could take over the sacred mountains surrounding the Sky Poison, or we could capture some sacred peaks as well."

Xu Xuan frowned slightly and stroked a token in his hand. The word "Chi Ming" was engraved on it. Inside it was a purple cave, which was the Chi Ming Mansion. Xu Xuan had wanted to move out before, but this cave was hidden in the void, and Luo Qing did not have enough spiritual energy to accommodate it.

"I'm afraid it needs spiritual nourishment to recover."

Now is a good opportunity to find the Purple Mansion Spiritual Mountain. Although there are no spiritual objects or Taoist treasures in the [Chi Ming Mansion], the formations and living quarters are still intact. If it can be placed in Luo Qing, it will be of infinite use for defending against enemies, practicing, etc.

Even this cave is probably worth as much as an ordinary purple mansion spiritual weapon, and is considered the most precious thing in Xu Xuan's hands.

"Now we must first plan to occupy the land adjacent to Dongmi and find the poisonous fire pool."

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment. The matter of Lingshan was serious and required careful planning, but there was something he had to do right now.

Xu Fayan on the side understood. The two of them had previously studied the "General Record of Fire Poison", which recorded many places where fire poison was produced. The closest one to Dongmi was a [Nether Poison Fire Pool].

The fire poisons recorded in this general record are mostly at the first level of foundation building. Wu Huang has three poisonous fires, each with its own unique use. They move with the veins of the earth, and the specific location needs to be surveyed by the method of looking at qi.

The [Pool of Netherworld Poison Fire] contains a [Small Netherworld Poison Fire], which is a spiritual fire for foundation building. It is very rare and of great use to the sect.

[Earthly Evil Fire] and [Chenliu Fire] are one C and one D, but both are at the Qi Refining level, but they are still lacking a spiritual fire for foundation building. Although [Small Nether Poison Fire] is a Yin fire and not suitable for refining weapons, it is quite powerful for fighting, not to mention a fire pool that produces regularly and is extremely valuable.

Now Xu Xuan has the two foundation-building spiritual waters of Hao and Hua, and one foundation-building thunder, but the rest are no spiritual water, spiritual fire, thunder or the like.

The situation on the Dongmi border has changed in recent days. Xu Xuan said in a deep voice:
"Xiong Youqi was repelled by a late-stage foundation-building warrior. The Luohe shaman is now in charge of the Eastern Esoteric border. He's a veteran foundation-building warrior who practices the orthodox Poison. He has many methods, so we need to plan carefully."

"Let's get some information about Xiong Youqi these few days. It would be best if we could find him and discuss how to deal with Luo He. It just so happens that Luo He is also interested in Dongmi and has repeatedly sent people to test us. Sooner or later, we'll have to confront him."

Xu Xuan gave the order in a low voice and looked to the other side of Dongmi. A large camp had been set up. It was the Shouqing Camp. Liang Yong was in charge here to guard against the witches.

Looking at Xu Fayan beside him, his expression softened a bit and he said:

"Dongli hasn't set up any formations, so be careful. The witches are treacherous and cunning, so be careful."

"The disciple understands."

Xu Fayan replied respectfully, and Xu Xuan beside him nodded slightly, then turned into a flash of lightning and left the place in an instant.

Then the thin man returned to the ground. Seeing this, the surrounding disciples immediately shouted respectfully:
"The true teachings of the Dharma."

Xu Fayan responded in a low voice with a calm expression. He wore a green gourd with purple lightning patterns on it on his waist. It was a low-grade Qi-refining magic weapon.

It was the poisonous insect given by his master. Now he has successfully refined six fetal breathing poisonous insects and two qi refining poisonous insects, each with its own magical use.

"If we can get into Wuhuang, we'll have a lot of spiritual creatures to replenish, and we can train a few more poisonous insects."

Xu Fayan turned around and looked at Wuhuang in the distance. The miasma was thick and there were gusts of evil wind.
-
On the Tianqing Peak, in the Juzhen Palace.

Liu Xingfang stood below with an upright posture. He was now at the third level of Qi Refining.

This disciple, wearing green clothes and carrying a silver-white sword on his back, was respectfully reporting the sect's affairs to Xu Xuan. It had been a year since Xiao Wen left, and many of the sect's chores had fallen on him.

As for Fayan, he was heading off to oversee the affairs of the Eastern Esoteric Sect, dealing with the barbarians, collecting spiritual objects, and so on, all alongside the Shouqing Camp. "Warm rain fell on the sacred peak where Fan Gong was located, and birds began to mate. The eggs they were hatching were mostly empty, filled with pus and blood. This is probably not a good sign."

Liu Xingfang checked the recorded jade book in a low voice.

"Her foundation is shallow and her cultivation is insufficient, but she has already taken a blood pill, so she should be able to succeed. As for that strange phenomenon, it's probably because her immortal foundation has been polluted."

Xu Xuan recalled this tribute Fan. Compared with Liang Yong, this tribute's cultivation was really average, only slightly better than an ordinary cultivator. It was a blessing that he could successfully build a foundation. "Water Transformation" could heal, so let this tribute help take care of the injured.

As for the battle, Xu Xuan did not hold much hope. He also asked and found out that this Protector Fan was only practicing the third-grade skills, and his immortal foundation was only one [Xuan Xiang], and his magical powers were pitifully few.

"If we want to conquer Wuhuang and take over Lingshan, relying on Liang Yong and me alone is still insufficient."

Even though the two are good at fighting, they have fought in the Wuhuang to build their foundation, and neither of them has not walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The witches have many methods, and the Wuhuang environment is even more suitable for the witch's magic. When immortal cultivators enter, they are inherently inferior to others.

"Since my family was able to find someone to build a foundation, the other families with deep roots in the primordial area must have been recruiting personnel long ago."

There is unrest in the north now, and many cultivators have fled to Chiyun. However, there are many cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage. If we select a few good talents, we can still cultivate one or two to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Liu Xingfang, who was standing below, saw that his master was lost in thought, so he said nothing more. After waiting for a while, he continued:

"The Patriarch of the Duan family has emerged from seclusion and achieved Foundation Establishment. Master, should we go and congratulate him?"

"Of course I have to go. I'm afraid I have to go there myself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan felt a little moved. Duan Chengsi had indeed come out of seclusion, while the people from the Wu family and Wukong Sword Sect were still in seclusion.

Taking out a pen and paper, Xu Xuan wrote a letter and handed it to Liu Xingfang below, saying with a smile:
"Liu Qiuci and I have an appointment to go meet Duan Chengsi together. I'll give this letter to you to deliver. It's a good opportunity to meet my parents."

Liu Xingfang looked calm and thanked him in a low voice. Xu Xuan let him go and went to deliver the letter.

Xu Xuan silently looked at the jade book in the sect and read it carefully. It recorded the sect's production and the cultivation of its members.

"Si'an has broken through to the seventh level, but Senior Brother Xiwei is old and it's difficult for him to advance, so he's still at the sixth level."

Looking further down, it records the disciples' cultivation.

"Qiyun broke through the fourth level, Gaoxia broke through the third level, which is quite rare. Fayan's cultivation progress is the fastest, and the next one is Xingfang."

"I don't know how Xiao Wen's cultivation has progressed these days, but I'm afraid he's already at the fifth level. He'll be able to break through to the sixth level in a year or two."

Thinking of this disciple, Xu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little worried and sighed softly. Next up were some younger disciples.

"Chengyan has good talent. At eleven, he's already in the early stages of fetal breathing. Zhoudu is still in the early stages of fetal breathing, but he's already fifteen, so his cultivation is slower."

Xu Xuan closed the jade book and took out several magical instruments.

[Earth Axis Mountain Cauldron] and [Mother and Child Blood River], these two are top-grade magic tools for foundation building, each with its own magical powers. Xu Xuan has already refined them, and with a thought, he immediately put them away.

The three swords, [Danting], [Hengguang] and [Youquan], each have their own functions. Hengguang is a first-level ancient magic weapon, but its nature is fire, which is not very suitable for Xu Xuan.

There is also a [Universal Thunder and Fire Pearl] in the Qi Sea, which is extremely powerful and suitable for thunder magic, but it can only be used by a dragon body, but it is not useful now.

[Qifen Zhenyu] has a flame of [Chiyuan Jiehuo] on it, but it is still useless.

As for the robe [Diaoguang] given by the Qiuhu Sect, Xu Xuan had originally wanted to give it to Xiao Wen, but Xiao Wen had the Kanshui Pearl, which had the ability to escape, so it was a bit repetitive, so he gave it to Xingfang who practiced thunder magic.

"I have many magical weapons, but I'm missing a Thunder Dao foundation-building magic sword, which would be the most useful."

Now that he was about to go to the Duan family, Xu Xuan fell into deep thought, not knowing what to give as a congratulatory gift. The [Earth Axis Mountain Cauldron] sent by the other party was extremely valuable, but Xu Xuan did not want to owe anyone any favors. The Duan family was not an easy family to deal with.

If you just fool around, you will lose face, be looked down upon, and feel inferior to those you interact with.

After a little thought, Xu Xuan took out a sky blue gem, which had the sound of waves. It was the Hanshui Gem, which contained a spiritual water. It was very mysterious and suitable for taking action.

"Dealing with people is really troublesome."

Xu Xuan sighed slightly. Fortunately, Zhang Yu gave him this precious pearl, otherwise Xu Xuan would be really worried. He had already spent a lot of money to purchase talismans for Xiao Wen, and his money was tight.

"After visiting the Duan family, enter the Wuhuang and get the Poison Fire Pool first."

Xu Xuan gritted his teeth. He was so poor. The higher his cultivation level, the tighter his pocket felt. He now wished he could rush to the gate of Na Luohe's mountain and dig up all the land.

Dan Ting below rose up, and surprisingly tapped the sword with the same feeling, and purple thunder surged.
