Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 148 Profound Origin Elixir Technique, Five Elements Spirit Suppressing Array
The words are divided into two parts, each expressing one branch.

While Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple painstakingly shook the earth's veins and broke through the protective array of the ruins of Beppu.

Lu Feng had already used teleportation magic to bring the Bone Spire into the ruins of the Five Elements Sect's separate residence.

Although it was his first time measuring spatial coordinates, Lu Feng's spatial talent was undeniable.

The measurement was incredibly precise, the array was activated, and the person was directly teleported into the ruins of the Five Elements Sect's separate residence.

Passing through the dilapidated gate, one enters a wide corridor, its beams and rafters adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant patterns, seemingly telling the story of the Five Elements Sect's glorious history.

Lu Feng glanced at it briefly and roughly grasped its meaning.

This is a separate residence of the Five Elements Sect. It is not large in scale, but it has a spiritual spring used to grow "Jade Lotus Roots" and raise "Moonlight Eels" for the consumption of the Five Elements Sect elders.

The Jade Lotus is a water-related spiritual plant that thrives in water. It grows only green lotus leaves and does not bloom. The lotus roots that grow from its roots are lush and jade-like. It takes three years to grow a section the length of a thumb, and it takes nine sections to cook a dish that can be served to the elders of the Five Elements Sect.

The Moon Eel is a delicious mythical creature that needs to bathe in moonlight and breathe in the essence of the moon every day. Generally, only Moon Eels that are over ten years old are qualified to be served as food.

This Five Elements Sect villa was built specifically for these two ingredients. In the past, when it was used, a Five Elements Sect disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage had to be stationed here to cultivate lotus roots and raise moon eels.

The murals in the corridor contained too much information, so Lu Feng casually peeled one off as he walked by and threw it into the Bone Spire.

This information should be kept to himself and must not be left to Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple outside.

Passing through the corridor, you enter the interior of Beppu. The interior space of Beppu is quite large. In the center, a spiritual spring gushes out from a white jade-like stone, and the flowing spring water gathers around the spiritual spring to form a bottomless pool.

Lotus leaves float on the pond, lush and verdant, the very same Jade Lotus, a spiritual plant cultivated in this villa.

The pond was completely silent and lifeless; the moon eels raised in it had all died for some unknown reason.

After careful examination, Lu Feng discovered that when this Five Elements Sect's separate residence sank into the earth's veins, it lost the opportunity to be illuminated by moonlight.

Moon eels love moonlight. Without moonlight, they will grow slowly and become thin.

This villa had been submerged in the earth's veins for an unknown period of time, and all the Asagi eels in the pond had died in the process.

Only the jade lotus root, which has no particular growth requirements, survives tenaciously in the waters of this spiritual spring and grows strong.

Lu Feng casually pulled out a jade lotus root, which had nine thick jade lotus segments growing under the leaves.

Nine is the ultimate number. The Jade Lotus root can grow to a maximum of nine segments. After reaching nine segments, it is only possible for the Jade Lotus root to break through its limit and grow into a higher-level spiritual plant before it can grow a tenth segment.

Otherwise, the nine-sectioned jade lotus root would continuously accumulate nutrients to grow larger and thicker.

However, those who cultivate Jade Lotus usually harvest it after it has grown nine sections. Continuing to grow it further would only waste time, consume spiritual energy, and affect the taste of the Jade Lotus.

The fact that the jade lotus roots here have grown to their current thick and long shape clearly indicates that they have not been tended to or harvested for many years.

"These jade lotus roots are considered to be quite good spiritual plants. Among the knowledge imparted by Daoist Yu Rong, there are instructions on the uses of jade lotus roots. Jade lotus roots are also the main ingredient of a kind of jade pill. The jade pills refined from them can increase the physical strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if they are not refined into pills, consuming jade lotus roots directly can also strengthen the physical body, which is very beneficial to Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

Upon seeing this pool of jade lotus roots, Lu Feng immediately built a pool in the Bone Spire, then uprooted the jade lotus roots from the pool in Beppu and sent them into the Bone Spire.

After some picking, Lu Feng and Su Wangyu harvested thirty-six jade lotus roots with nine sections each from the pond.

The Beppu pond has limited space, and the number of jade lotus roots that can grow is already the limit. The roots are densely intertwined underwater, and if even one more were added, there would be fierce competition.

It is not uncommon for spiritual plants to fight to the death for nutrients.

These are all jade lotus roots that have accumulated some years after the ninth joint, and their nourishing medicinal effects are even better than those that have just grown nine joints.

As for the slightly inferior taste, Lu Feng didn't care at all.

As for the spiritual spring in the pool, Lu Feng also wanted to send it into the Bone Spire.

However, this spiritual spring is rooted in the earth's veins. Unless one has the ability to seize the entire spiritual spring along with the underground veins, there is no way to move this spiritual spring.

Lu Feng glanced at it and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking the spiritual spring with him. He simply took all the spring water that gushed out and did not intend to leave a single drop for anyone who came after him.

After cleaning up the spirit spring, Lu Feng looked at the other parts of the villa. The central pool was the most important part of the villa, while the other parts were houses for the disciples guarding the villa.

Among them were eighteen rooms for ordinary disciples to live in. These rooms contained nothing more than a bed, some tables and chairs.

After searching around, Lu Feng found some tattered clothes and a jade "horn," which was quite unlucky.

Besides these ordinary houses, there is also a luxurious hall shrouded in array formations in the villa, which is presumably the residence of the Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the villa.

The main hall's gate is shrouded in a Five Elements array that shares the same origin as the external protective array. However, compared to the five-colored canopy formed by the Five Elements energy outside, the array on the main hall's gate appears somewhat weak.

At most, it serves as a warning; its defensive capabilities are not strong. With a little effort, Lu Feng unleashed a series of small-dimensional slashes at the array nodes, easily breaking through the array protecting the main hall's entrance.

Boom!
The main hall doors were wide open, and a rich spiritual energy flowed out from within.

This main hall seems to be the core of this villa. Some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by the villa's grand formation is stored in this main hall.

Countless years have passed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth accumulated in the main hall has slowly built up, almost to the point of being compressed and condensed into liquid spiritual energy.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Feng stirred up a whirlwind, and the Bone Spire opened its doors, sweeping away the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the hall, turning it into drops of liquid spiritual energy that accumulated in the elemental pool of the Bone Spire.

The misty spiritual energy in the main hall slowly dissipated, revealing what was inside.

Unlike the outside, the main hall is built of pure white stone. It is tall, spacious, secluded and refreshing, like a fairy cave, giving it the air of a grand sect.

The rooms inside were connected one after another, including bookshelves, alchemy rooms, and spring pools. The tall hall ceiling was also inlaid with dazzling pearls.

These pearls are not fluorite, but rather individual luminous pearls that can absorb and store the essence of the sun and moon, emitting a soft glow at night.

Lu Feng even saw a pill furnace in the alchemy room that was taller than a person and had a bulging belly. The furnace was carved with many talismans and flowed with mysterious power.

This alchemy furnace is neither gold nor iron, neither stone nor jade. It is not an ordinary magic tool, but an excellent spiritual artifact that can refine weapons and make elixirs.

"Good heavens, the Five Elements Sect is truly wealthy. They have placed a spirit-grade alchemy furnace in one of their villas for their disciples to use at will!" Lu Feng and Su Wangyu exclaimed in amazement. They knew that among magical artifacts like alchemy furnaces, spirit-grade ones were the most difficult to refine.

The restrictions are complex, requiring the use of various methods and techniques necessary for refining pills. The complexity of the process is several times greater than that of refining a magical sword.

"I happen to not have a suitable alchemy furnace in my Bone Spire, so I'll take this one! The Profound Spirit Cauldron, what a great name!"

Lu Feng stored the magical alchemy furnace in the Bone Spire and then searched the surrounding area.

On the shelf next to the alchemy furnace, there were some jade bottles containing pills, but over the years, the pills in these bottles had long lost their medicinal properties, turning into a shriveled black mud at the bottom of the bottles.

Lu Feng dared not risk his life to test what kind of medicinal properties these pills, now turned into black mud, still retained.

Aside from these useless pills, Lu Feng was more interested in finding some of the Five Elements Sect's alchemy methods and formulas.

The Xuan Yin Temple's pill formulas have not progressed for a long time. They have been using the Qingyun Qi-Absorbing Pill Method, which they obtained from Lin Yufei, the master of Wushan Mountain, to refine some Qi-refining pills such as Huangya Pill and Yunwu Spirit Pill.

Now that Lu Feng's cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, these Qi Refining stage pills can only be eaten as snacks, with negligible effects.

Hard work pays off.

Lu Feng was lucky; he didn't find anything related to alchemy on the shelf next to the furnace, but he did find a jade slip under the futon next to the furnace.

Lu Feng probed the jade slip with his divine sense and discovered that it contained a method of alchemy called "Xuan Yuan Dan Fa".

This alchemy method is profound and complex; Lu Feng could tell at a glance that it was an alchemy method for the Foundation Establishment stage.

It includes not only the cultivation method of Xuan Yuan Dan Fa, but also some alchemy insights from a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Five Elements Sect named "Xu Xiu".

"This 'Xu Xiu' is most likely the owner of this Five Elements Sect's separate residence. He was stationed here to cultivate jade lotus roots and moon eels, accumulate merits, and incidentally study alchemy. But I don't know what happened back then that made this owner of the separate residence leave in a hurry, without even taking the alchemy furnace and jade slips with him!"

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu roughly deduced some of the things that happened in this villa back then, and their hearts were filled with doubts, but this did not stop them from continuing their exploration.

After looting the alchemy room in the main hall, Lu Feng searched every other room in the hall, though the loot from the other rooms wasn't as plentiful as from the alchemy room.

Aside from finding some basic Qi cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining stage of the Five Elements Sect, they also acquired three or four high-grade magic artifacts.

"This villa of the Five Elements Sect seems rather poor. The Foundation Establishment cultivators from Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple certainly don't believe that this enormous villa contains so little!"

Lu Feng packed the looted items into the Bone Spire, but he was somewhat disappointed and regretful.

The protective array of the ruins of Beppu is quite powerful and useful, but there are not many things inside. The only useful items are a spirit-grade alchemy furnace and the Xuan Yuan alchemy method. The only other items are the thirty-six jade lotus roots.

There were some gains, but not many.

"Actually, the most useful thing about this annex is probably the annex itself! If we could find the central control of this annex and take control of it, that would be the greatest gain!"

Compared to Lu Feng's dissatisfaction, Su Wangyu glanced at the interior of the villa and reminded Lu Feng.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Feng completely agreed with Su Wangyu's words.

This spiritual abode is rooted in the earth's veins, allowing it to draw upon them and gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cultivate a spiritual spring at the Foundation Establishment level. Furthermore, the protective array covering the entire abode can withstand Foundation Establishment cultivators from Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple.

A villa of this caliber is itself an excellent place to suppress the aura of the Xuan Yin Temple.

If this villa were moved back to Xuan Yin Temple and transformed into its main gate, with a protective array activated, it could safeguard Xuan Yin Temple and ensure its invincibility in Hongze County.

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Then let's quickly find the central location of this annex!"

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu quickly set to work together to find the array center of the other mansion.

Rumble!
At this moment, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Jade Cicada Temple outside the villa unleashed the Earthly Fiend True Thunder, shaking the earth's veins and causing them to surge. This caused the entire Five Elements Sect villa to tremble and teeter on the verge of collapse.

Amidst this tremor, Beppu's protective array also emitted the five elements' spiritual light, covering every corner of Beppu and protecting every brick and stone from damage during the earth's tremors.

"Lu Feng, this must be the Jade Cicada Temple and Chongfu Temple outside attacking the villa together. They want to break through the villa's protective formation! Look, the five-colored light on the foundation stone of this spiritual spring is the brightest in the entire villa. The central core of the entire spiritual mansion should be here!"

As Beppu was in turmoil, the stone in the center of Beppu from which the spiritual spring gushed forth emitted the most dazzling five-colored light, and a large number of talismans and restrictions appeared on it. Lu Feng and Su Wangyu exchanged a glance and both understood that this stone was the central core of Beppu.

He quickly arrived at the stone and poured his Foundation Establishment True Essence into the stone that was radiating divine light. In an instant, he saw a complex and mysterious Five Elements Array.

"Five Elements Spirit Suppressing Array".

Lu Feng had a vague understanding of the name of this Five Elements Formation.

This grand formation is a simplified version of the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Formation, the protective formation of the Five Elements Sect. It is specifically designed for defense at the Foundation Establishment level. This villa is not considered an important asset of the Five Elements Sect, and a Foundation Establishment level Five Elements Spirit-Suppressing Formation is sufficient to protect it.

Breaking through Beppu's protective array from the outside in is extremely difficult, but refining this Five Elements Spirit Suppressing Array from the inside is much simpler.

Lu Feng poured his Foundation Establishment True Essence into it, and it flowed smoothly without hindrance. In an instant, he refined each node in the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array, gradually taking control of the entire array.

As the magic array was refined, Lu Feng's divine sense merged into the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array. His perspective rose, and he immediately saw the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple outside the villa, who were fiercely attacking the array.

"Come, come, since you all desire the treasures within the ruins of this Five Elements Sect's separate residence so much, then step into my trap and witness the power of the Five Elements Sect's Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array!"

Lu Feng took out the Bone Spire and placed it on the stone in the central part of the Spirit Mansion. The elemental pool inside the Bone Spire gurgled and a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged out and poured into the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array of the Separate Mansion.

At this moment, the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Array, under Lu Feng's control, suddenly stopped, creating the appearance that it had been broken by the combined efforts of the cultivators from Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple, revealing the damaged gate of the ruins of the detached mansion.

As soon as the formation was broken and the gate appeared, without Lu Feng urging them, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple filed in, eagerly plunging into the surprise Lu Feng had prepared for them.

After they passed through the corridor that Lu Feng had cleaned up and entered the main hall of the villa, the thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators from Chongfu Temple and Yuchan Temple saw Lu Feng sitting cross-legged on a stone in the center of the villa.

"Master Lu, it's you? Did you enter this villa first? Did you steal the treasures in the corridor?"

Jade Book Daoist stared at Lu Feng in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise.
