I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 174 Exposed
The eastern part of Jiangnan is bustling with activity in the spring. As the folk proverb says: If you don’t harrow the fields during the Waking of Insects, it’s like steaming buns that have lost their steam!

Looking around, you can see busy figures everywhere on the vast fertile land.

No one could have imagined that half a month ago, vast fertile land would be in danger of turning into barren soil!
Thinking of this, fellow apprentice brothers Fei Haoxuan and Leng Ling, who had gone down the mountain to purchase things, could not help but raise their chests with great pride.

Among them, Fei Haoxuan, who was following behind the carriage, walked around the carriage, taking inventory back and forth, muttering to himself.

"Brother, we have checked it three times, there should be no mistakes. If there are really a few things missing, with our speed, we can just go down the mountain again."

Seeing this, Leng Ling couldn't help but give an admonition.

"Does this require another trip? Nearly half of the nine immortal sects are gathering at our Stone Immortal Temple. Such a grand event is highly valued by the masters and elders of each sect. This is our chance to shine. If something goes wrong, even if it's not a big deal, what do you think the masters and elders will think?"

Fei Haoxuan said seriously.

"This..." Leng Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll take stock of it too."

With Leng Ling's inventory confirmation, Fei Haoxuan's feeling of anxiety finally eased a little.

He looked at the busy farmers on the roadside and couldn't help but say, "I heard that Lu Wujiu is only twenty years old, but he has already achieved a third-class cultivation level, refined spiritual weapons, and saved the people of the world. I am also twenty years old, so why is there such a big difference?!"

"Brother, stop feeling sorry for yourself. I've heard that he's most likely a powerful being from the Middle Earth. His youth is just his appearance; he could have been practicing for hundreds of years! Besides, even if he's only a young man, how many have you seen reach the second rank? Let alone the third rank?"

"Too!"

With the comfort of his junior fellow apprentice, Fei Haoxuan immediately felt much more comfortable.

The two men were driving the carriage when a figure suddenly fell from the sky, scaring them both.

"Excuse me, fellow Daoists, is this the Stone Immortal Temple ahead?"

The man who came was not very old, just in his early twenties, and he was smiling and bowing to ask for directions.

"Fellow Daoist, no, senior, the Shixian Temple is right in front of us." Fei Haoxuan stuttered.

"Thank you!"

The man returned the greeting, turned around, and flew away, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Want to know who this is?

It’s Lu Wujiu!
Lu Wujiu, who got the Dunxun Mirror, was both in pain and happy!

The object flew so fast that it easily passed its destination.

Moreover, people are thousands of feet high in the sky, and everything underground is like a miniature walnut sculpture. It is really not easy to find the destination.

This was the fourth time he had asked for directions.

He was asking for directions casually, but it felt different for the person being asked.

Especially brothers Fei Haoxuan and Leng Ling.

In the past two days, they have seen many masters gathering here.

But such skills of coming and going without a trace are rare, and his appearance at such a young age is even more impressive.

A discussion is inevitable.

When he rushed back to Shixian Temple, he learned from other fellow disciples that Lu Wujiu had already arrived.

"So fast?"

Fei Haoxuan and Leng Ling became curious upon hearing this. They found an opportunity and, under the guidance of their familiar senior brothers, saw Lu Wujiu from afar and were immediately surprised.

"Isn't that the Immortal Master asking for directions?"

Upon hearing this, the senior brother who was leading the way looked over in surprise, with a strange look in his eyes, which made Fei Haoxuan and Leng Ling couldn't help but puff out their chests.

After all, I am a cultivator who has had some interactions with Lu Wujiu!
...Shixian Temple is not a grand temple. Strictly speaking, it can only be considered a second-rate temple. The master's cultivation level is only at the second level of great perfection.

The reason why the monks who quelled the disaster caused by the fire spirit in the East China Sea decided to gather here was because they were originally discussing strategies to deal with the volcano at Shixian Temple.

The reason why it was originally chosen to be located in Shixian Temple was simply because it was the palace closest to the East China Sea.

The value of Feng Shui is fully demonstrated at this moment.

This unknown second-rate temple became famous because of this, and the top leaders of the sect were also suffering in the midst of happiness.

The palace is really too small and it is difficult to accommodate powerful monks.

Especially with Lu Wujiu's presence, the top management of Shixian Temple held a meeting overnight to discuss the resettlement specifications.

Logically speaking, the fourth-class monks are of the highest standard, and the third-class monks are one level lower. This is a rule that applies everywhere.

However, this rule obviously does not work for Lu Wujiu.

Not to mention anything else, just the merit of coming with the spiritual weapon at the last moment, sealing the volcanic remains, and saving thousands of acres of fertile land along the coast, the treatment standards cannot be bad.

During the all-night discussion at Shixian Temple, Lu Wujiu was still given the highest treatment, but his room was moved a little further back to reflect the most fundamental rule of the martial arts world - hierarchy is determined by one's cultivation level.

Unexpectedly, since Lu Wujiu moved in, the slightly more remote room has become the most popular place in Shixian Temple.

Almost every Xuanmen monk who came to Shixian Temple paid a visit, under the pretext of expressing gratitude to the people of Jiudao, but in fact they were asking about the details of refining spiritual weapons.

Lu Wujiu also took the time to receive each of them.

This was the fundamental reason why he came here early.

However, the information he has come across so far has made him feel discouraged.

Sects that possess the five elements' essence are too rare, or in other words, as a small world with nine paths, the Yuan Qi is already thin, so it is naturally very difficult to breed the five elements' essence.

All the five elements' essences are the great fortune of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the few sects that possess the essence of the five elements are also very cautious about refining spiritual weapons.

There is some controversy in particular about the opening furnace gold.

You must know that the gold that Lu Wujiu asked for to start the furnace were all things that nourish the fire, and naturally they were all rare things.

It takes a lot of effort to put these things together.

While the major sects were hesitating, the celebration banquet for pacifying the disaster caused by the fire spirit in the East China Sea was finally coming!

The celebration banquet was held in the largest guest hall of Shixian Temple. Rows of tables were arranged in the hall. The master of Shixian Temple, who was supposed to sit in the main seat, did not dare to do so. Instead, he hung up the portraits of the Three Pure Ones.

The monks sat on both sides, served by Taoist children, drinking wine and chatting happily.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Someone asked Lu Wujiu, "Could you please tell me, Fellow Daoist Lu, is it safe to seal the remains of the Fire Spirit with a spiritual weapon?"

Lu Wujiu said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. The main body of the fire spirit remains is in the Eighteen Seas. The previous disaster in the East China Sea was just a few residues. If we seal it with a spiritual weapon, it won't take long to completely destroy it."

"Okay, okay, now I feel relieved!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The cultivators nodded one after another, their interest growing higher and higher.

Unexpectedly, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the table behind:

"The main body of the fire spirit remains is in the Eighteen Seas, and not a single trace has been leaked for thousands of years. How could such a scum be roaming the East China Sea now? However, fellow Daoist has cultivated the True Dao and once used the Old Law Temple to tease cultivators all over the world. The disaster in the East China Sea is probably just a self-directed deception. Naturally, it's safe! Fellow Daoist Lu, am I right?"
