I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 157: Fire Spirit Obtained and Immortal Master Kuang Yun

Under the control of Fu Bo Ming Gui, the stone wall at the Gen position of the altar slid down silently, revealing a deep tunnel.

This is said to be a tunnel, but it looks more like a hall, about three meters high. When Lu Wujiu walked in it, he felt as if he had arrived in the land of adults.

The tunnel continued to extend downwards. The deeper one went, the hotter and drier the air became, even causing Lu Wujiu's clothes to scorch, forcing him to use his supernatural powers to protect his body.

As Fu Bo Ming Gui led the way, Lu Wu Jiu followed closely and asked:
"I have something I don't understand, could you please explain it to me?"

"Let the fart go."

Lu Wujiu was not annoyed when he heard this, and asked, "I wonder what your cultivation level was when you sealed the volcano back then?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"I'm just curious about the power of that fire spirit!"

"The fire spirit wasn't very powerful. It only erupted with devastating force when it fell into the ground and connected with the subterranean fire! Fortunately, the ocean was thick and powerful, suppressing it with immense amounts of water, and aided by a special magic formation, it was able to seal it."

"So, fellow Daoist, you only had a third-class cultivation level at that time?"

Fu Bo Ming Gui snorted coldly and did not answer.

"A third-class cultivation level increases one's lifespan by five hundred years. It seems that Daoist Fellow has been setting up this Fate-Defying Wall for at least five hundred years!"

"Don't compare the lifespan of humans to that of my Dragon Turtle clan!"

"Oh, am I exaggerating? That's three hundred years, right?"

"Less than a hundred years!"

"No wonder no one knows about this yet." Lu Wujiu nodded and asked, "Can I sell my life span?"

"Ah--"

The dark turtle showed a hint of sarcasm: "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. You want the five elements essence, and you also want life?"

Lu Wujiu said nonsense: "Yes, I have been trapped in the top three for who knows how many years. My life span is not long. Otherwise, why would I care so much?"

"Okay, ten years of lifespan and one Five Elements Spirit."

"Ha ha……"

Lu Wujiu smiled and said nothing, but a hint of deep fear flashed in his eyes.

The Eighteen Seas can steal lifespans. Logically speaking, after satisfying their own needs, they can also sell them to others.

But he had never heard of such rumors.

In the land of Jiudao, it is rare to encounter people with long lifespans.

This doesn't make sense.

He guessed that either the stolen life spans from the Eighteen Seas were not enough to cover their expenses, so they naturally couldn't afford to sell them;

Either the Eighteen Seas are hoarding goods to strengthen themselves.

The former was highly unlikely. He had roughly calculated that Fubo Island alone had a population of at least 50,000, and including the floating population, a conservative estimate of 100,000. Even if each person only received ten years of life, that would still be a million years.

With so much lifespan, will you still be able to make ends meet?
Or is it that swallowing the lifespan of others to replenish one's own lifespan is against the will of heaven and consumes a great deal of one's lifespan?
Lu Wujiu didn't dare to make a rash decision on this!
It was the latter that he was worried about.

If the Eighteen Seas were hoarding things, that would be terrifying. It would mean that the Eighteen Seas had accumulated countless old monsters.

People's hearts are fickle.

Would the siren who sealed the eighteen volcanoes back then really be willing to keep them sealed forever?
Also, the act of sealing is so boring. In this case, why not set it as a floating position and have the masters of the clan take turns to be on duty?

It is difficult to find a fourth-class cultivator, and even if you spend a thousand years to find a third-class cultivator, you still can't gather two or three?

There is something fishy going on here, and it's a big one.

As my thoughts wandered, I finally arrived at my destination.

At the end of the corridor, there was a huge cavity with magma flowing in it, filled with rich fire elemental energy. A magic array as illusory as a chessboard stretched across the roiling magma, with its edge sunk into the rock layer.

In the center of the magic circle, an old turtle with a mottled shell was lying in the center of the circle. Light and shadows appeared under its feet, lifting it up and floating in the air.

The old turtle opened his eyes, opened his mouth and spit out a bone talisman, saying:
"After activating this talisman, keep it close to your body for three days, and the curse will be lifted!"

Lu Wujiu took it, kept it close to his body, and said with a bow, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

At the same time, the Abyss Turtle raised its front limbs and suddenly reached into the magic circle, as if ignoring the spatial barriers. It grabbed in the magma for a while, and then pulled it out, holding a struggling Vermillion Bird that seemed to be made of flames.

"The Fire Spirit you want!"

The old turtle swung violently, and the Vermillion Bird in its claws turned into a stream of light and shot towards him.

Lu Wujiu raised his sleeves and a scroll came out. The light on the scroll was shining brightly, and Suzaku was included in it.

The painted landscape on the scroll was suddenly scorched by the scorching sun, the leaves withered, the wildfire spread, and the lotus pond dried up.

"Let's go, don't send me away!"

The old turtle uttered a muffled sound, then closed his eyes, too lazy to say anything more.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu casually bowed and turned back the way he came.

When he crawled out of the mouth of the Fu Bo Ming Turtle in the main hall, Fu Li was standing guard beside him. When he saw Lu Wujiu, his eyes were immediately filled with complexity.

I wanted to talk, but I didn't know what to say.

Lu Wujiu bowed and turned into a pool of shadow, blending into the swaying shadows under the candlelight.

Five days later, on the coast of the East China Sea.

As waves rushed onto the shore, a figure emerged from the shadows cast by the waves and the snow.

Looking closely, it was Lu Wujiu.

He looked back at the boundless East China Sea and let out a sigh.

After leaving Fubo Island, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and even deliberately placed the "curse-breaking bone piece" on his clone to prevent it from being planted with any tracking spell.

At the moment, he seems to be overthinking it.

Little did they know that while Lu Wujiu was worried, the Eighteen Seas breathed a sigh of relief.

For the Eighteen Seas, it is not cost-effective to kill Lu Wujiu. If they can kill him with one strike, it will be fine. But if they let him escape, none of the Eighteen Seas can live in peace.

Since it is better to have less trouble than more, naturally, I just want to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

However, Lu Wujiu had no idea at this time about the Eighteen Seas' plan. After leaving the East China Sea, he rushed to the Nine Paths without stopping. After making sure that no one was following him, he hid in the human skin book.

The days of traveling had made him extremely nervous and tired.

After entering the human skin book, his mind completely relaxed. He sat cross-legged and meditated silently to recover.

Close your eyes to observe your mind, look up and you will realize that years have passed.

After recovering from meditation, I counted on my fingers and found that more than a day had passed.

"call--"

Lu Wujiu let out a light breath, stretched out his hand to grab the air, took down a scroll and unfolded it. He saw that not only the colorful landscape on the scroll turned into a thousand-mile desert, but even the scroll turned burnt yellow.

It seems that it won’t be long before this magical weapon, which was created with great magical power, will be destroyed because it contains the essence of fire.

"As expected of the Five Elements Spirit!"

Lu Wujiu was excited...it was time to refine the spiritual weapon.

What he wanted to refine was the famous Danqing Mountain and River Scroll of the Ranzhen Sect.

There are two ways to refine it:

First, use natural treasures to refine the scroll itself.

Secondly, directly capture a piece of heaven and earth, transform it into a painting, and use it as a carrier of spiritual tools.

The former possesses the characteristics of natural treasures, and the power of spiritual weapons will be further enhanced;

The latter intercepts the heaven and earth, possesses extremely strong carrying capacity, and the scroll is inherently tainted with three-tenths of real characteristics.

Although Lu Wujiu was not poor, it would be difficult for him to produce the natural treasures that could carry the essence of fire in a short period of time.

So he decided to take the second route.

Now, full of energy, it was the perfect time to search for the world he had intercepted. His figure flashed, leaving the human skin book, the Void Yaksha entering his body, his flesh wings spread out, and he soared straight up, overlooking the mountains and rivers.

As it flapped its wings and flew high, it flew across a hundred miles of land in the blink of an eye.

Basins, hills, plains, mountains...many landforms passed before his eyes.

Almost everywhere you look, there are people living there.

It seems that no place is right to capture it!
Lu Wujiu flew for three or four hours but still couldn't find a suitable place.

It was not easy to find the rolling hills. When the divine sense swept over them, one could see hunters and herbalists scattered among them.

There are almost no real no-man's lands.

"How about going to the desolate land beyond the Nine Paths?"

While thinking about it, Lu Wujiu's mind moved, and he heard Yang Fengzhao's calling voice coming from the Yanghun Fenghuo Courtyard.

He quickly landed on the ground and hid in the human skin book, then used his spiritual power to escape into it.

In the Soul-Nourishing Wind and Fire Courtyard, Yang Fengzhao was beaming with joy: "The matter that Daoist friend entrusted me with has come to fruition."

Lu Wujiu raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Yang Fengzhao said with a look of wanting credit, "The headmaster of the Qianzhong Daolouguan Sect once accidentally captured a water spirit and is willing to sell it for a high price."

Lu Wujiu blinked: "Are you serious?"

Yang Fengzhao said, "This is what our sect's headmaster, Immortal Master Liu Ren, said personally. How could it be false?"

Lu Wujiu was speechless. If he had known that Liuren Sect was so well-informed, he should have looked for Yang Fengzhao long ago.

Fortunately, in order to keep it secret, he asked Zhao Danyan and then stopped asking.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I will go to Louguan Sect to inquire about the situation right now!"

"We are all from the same sect, so why be polite?"

Yang Fengzhao was also very happy to see Lu Wujiu happy.

Although the world is not optimistic about the Liang Yi School and even the Lao Lu School, the Liu Ren School is optimistic about Lu Wujiu.

Imagine something private.

If Lu Wujiu cannot bear the pressure from the Fangzhong faction, he might defect to the Liuren faction. A double-dao and top-three cultivator will undoubtedly enhance the status of the Liuren faction.

"By the way, I have also found some trivial information about the Eighteen Seas that you are interested in. Do you still need it?"

"Okay, okay, of course the more the better! If the Louguan Sect doesn't produce any results, I can still go to the East China Sea and try my luck."

"That's exactly the reason."

Yang Fengzhao nodded and then began to talk.

Most of them are trivial news.

The Eighteen Seas of the East China Sea are too far away from the Nine Daos, and few fishermen from the coast of the East China Sea go there.

Generally, some monks who have committed crimes or those who are avoiding their enemies will move to the East China Sea and occasionally send back some detailed news.

However, in the land of Jiudao, powerful people would occasionally visit the East China Sea.

For example, the Danding School.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the former headmaster of Danding Sect, Immortal Master Kuang Yun, obtained a great opportunity in the East China Sea."

"Oh?"

Lu Wujiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"It is said that three hundred years ago, after achieving the third level of perfection, Immortal Master Kuang Yun was unable to ascend to the next level, and his life was almost over. In order to refine an ancient elixir that would allow him to ascend to the next level, he took a gamble and traveled thousands of miles to the East China Sea in search of a secret elixir. However, he didn't find the elixir, but instead found a dragon's blood coral that could prolong life."

"Thus, his life span was extended by fifty years. It was during these fifty years that he finally reached the fourth rank! By the way, the Dan Ding Sect also has a Five Elements Soul Essence, a Fire Soul Essence, which was unexpectedly obtained by Immortal Master Kuang Yun shortly after his ascension. Since then, the Dan Ding Sect's reputation has soared. In just over two hundred years, another fourth-rank master has emerged, none other than the current Dan Ding Sect Master Yi Wenyan!"

After hearing this, Lu Wujiu let out a sigh and asked, "Where is Immortal Master Kuang Yun?"

"There's been no news at the moment! Some say he's dead, and the Danding Sect has blocked the news. Others say he's gone to search for medicinal herbs in order to refine secret medicine."

Lu Wujiu nodded and made no comment.

Then the two chatted for a while, and then Lu Wujiu returned his mind to its sheath.

When he opened his eyes, the cold environment of the human skin book seemed to infect him, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Battle on the road!

This world is far from being as peaceful as he imagined!

"call……"

He sighed softly, left the human skin book again, and looked for suitable land.

In the middle of the night, we finally found a barren mountain stretching for thousands of miles.

Going deeper into it, he scanned with his divine sense and found that there were no other human beings except a few monsters.

"That's it."

Lu Wujiu selected his destination, landed lightly on the ground, and the ink on his fingertips spread quickly in all directions like a shadow.

It didn't stop until it spread to the edge of his mind.

"change!"

Lu Wujiu let out a low roar, and the endless mountains and lush forests collapsed instantly, taking with them the night birds and insects.

Looking down from the air, the mountains seem to be the same mountains, but they also have a sense of being a canvas.

"rise!"

Lu Wujiu let out another low shout, and the canvas spread on the mountains rolled up and shrank, falling into Lu Wujiu's hands.

Looking at the mountains again, there was a circular deep pit left in the thousands of miles of mountains, as if it was hit by a meteorite, but there were no scorched trees or glassy land.

Lu Wujiu glanced over and his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

……

Human skin book.

Lu Wujiu, who had cut off a piece of heaven and earth, looked at the scroll in his hand, but did not rush to refine it. Instead, he reviewed the refining method that he had already memorized.

The first step in refining the Ranzhen Dao spiritual weapon, and even in concocting a scroll.

This step is the simplest.

All you need to do is continue to refine yourself with the true way, and what matters is patience.

The second step is to prepare the essence of the five elements.

Regarding this point, there are three thousand great ways, each with its own method.

The way of dyeing the truth is to use the method of dyeing the truth to transform the essence and soul into paintings, weakening their ignorant resistance.

Then, the Five Elements Star Evil Array is arranged, using the power of the eastern Jiao Kang, northern Douniu, western Qixiu, and central Ziwei Star to harmonize the fire essence and make it gentle.

Finally, the materials are integrated, the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth is drawn, and the Tiangang Spirit-drawing Talisman is burned and engraved until star patterns appear on the surface of the spiritual weapon. Only then can it be considered as Hinayana and the initial prototype of the spiritual weapon is formed.

This last step is the most important.

This is the key to whether the spiritual weapon can absorb and release the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth on its own after it is formed.

If it fails, the spiritual weapon will be damaged at best.

In severe cases, the fire element's essence will collapse.

Lu Wujiu had no experience in refining spiritual weapons. Although he was fearless, he was still quite nervous.

Therefore, before refining, one should first practice the Tiangang Yinling Talisman, and after fully understanding it, practice arranging the Five Elements Star Evil Array.

At the same time, try to simulate the operation.

Do this and that until you have mastered every detail, then you can start trying to refine it.
