Chapter 180 – Relic Mystery Realm, Second Order Demon Core!

Chapter 180 – Relic Mystery Realm, Second Order Demon Core!

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Because of the matter of the Black Cloud Mountain Range relics, these days Lu Changsheng not only drew second-order talismans, he also drew quite a few first-order extreme talismans.

Not only him, Lu Miaogao had also been busy making talismans these days.

After all, the Black Cloud Mountain Range was not far from the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace.

It’s only four or five thousand miles away.

That’s why many cultivators in the surrounding area traveled to the Black Cloud Mountain Range, wanting to strike a lucky streak.

And after half a month of fermentation, the heat of the matter of the Black Cloud Mountain Ruins not only didn’t drop in the slightest.

It was also made even hotter by several news rumors of people obtaining ancient techniques, foundation building elixirs, and heavenly materials from the relics, attracting even more people to go there.

After all, for most cultivators, a gongfu, a foundation building spirit item, was a heavenly chance.

They may not be able to obtain this kind of chance even after a lifetime of painstakingly pursuing it.

Now that there were such relics appearing, it was natural not to miss them.

It was also this reason that caused all the foot traffic in the Red Leaf Valley Place to be elevated.

Talismans, pills, and magic weapons are even selling like hotcakes, with prices rising by thirty to forty percent, allowing Lu Changsheng to make a small profit as well.

In the face of this situation, the four great clans also deployed their manpower to increase the patrols and guards in the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace.

So as not to attract the robber cultivators over because of the matter of the Black Cloud Mountain Range relics, thus taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

After all, the previous incident of the two robber cultivators causing chaos had left the hearts of the four great clans palpitating.

During his chat with Lu Miaogao, Lu Changsheng learned that the Lu Family, the Bai Family, the Yu Family, the Zheng Family, and many of the neighboring Immortal Cultivation Families had sent people to explore the ruins of Black Cloud Mountain.

Cultivating immortality is like crossing a river, with ten thousand horses and thousands of soldiers competing for the sails.

If there is an opportunity out there, if you don’t fight for it, how can you win and have a successful cultivation.

However, Lu Yuanzhong, the Lu Family’s oldest ancestor, was still sitting at Green Bamboo Mountain.

Didn’t bother to engage in relic exploration.

The Yu family, the Zheng family, and the Bai family as well.

They’re just small families.

There were only one or two Foundation Establishment Ancestors sitting in the clan.

It simply does not dare to go out and take risks and compete for opportunities.

After all, they’re not individuals, they’re still family pillars.

In the event of an accident, the entire family would have to go wrong and suffer extinction.

Only a few late stage Qi Refining cultivators could be dispatched to explore.

However, Lu Changsheng had heard that there were already Foundation Establishment cultivators heading to this relic.

“The Green Cloud Sect went down?”

After a few more days, when Lu Changsheng chatted with Lu Yuanling, he learned that the Qingyun Sect had also made a move against the Black Cloud Mountain secret realm.

“That’s right, now that it has been determined that this relic is a small secret realm on one side, and that there are quite a few opportunities and treasures within, the Green Cloud Sect will naturally not let it go.”

Lu Yuanling spoke out.

As the second elder of the Lu Family and the Lu Family Palmistress of the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace, he was very concerned about this aspect of the news.

“As soon as this Qing Yun Sect steps on the scene, the entire secret realm belongs to the Qing Yun Sect.”

Lu Changsheng tsked.

For the scattered cultivators, the major forces, the Qing Yun Sect went down, completely a descending blow.

The other casual forces had no game at all.

“That’s not true, the Green Cloud Sect didn’t block off the secret realm to drive away casual cultivators and other forces.”

Lu Yuanling shook his head.

“Oh, in that case, the Green Cloud Sect is still quite generous ah.”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

He had thought that the Green Cloud Sect would simply block the secret realm and prohibit others from entering.

After all, if the Green Cloud Sect did this, the others had nothing to say and didn’t dare to say anything.

“Nagisa, you’re still too young.”

“Where is the Green Cloud Sect being generous, in this kind of secret realm, there are definitely hidden dangers, and the Green Cloud Sect naturally doesn’t want to let their own disciples charge into battle.”

“Why don’t we split a bit of the soup and let us family forces and casual cultivators act as cannon fodder and go in to explore.”

Lu Yuanling snorted and spoke out.

At his age, he has had many experiences and sees these things very clearly and understandably.

“Uh.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he immediately understood the reasoning behind it.

It was like the Violet Specter Mystic Realm that was held by several great Immortal Sects.

If they were to rely entirely on the Immortal Sect disciples to explore, not only would the harvest be limited, but they would also be prone to losing disciples in the midst of it.

Might as well let the casuals go in with the other forces.

Anyway, if you have gains inside, you have to give some of the benefits to a few of the great immortal sects.

“Scattered cultivators, small forces, in the face of this kind of secret realm, heaven-sent opportunities, wanting to profit from it and reap the benefits is also very difficult.”

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of emotion.

Every time he heard this, he was deeply touched by the hardships of the cultivators at the bottom of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Without an excellent talent, it was too difficult to cultivate with success.

It can only be fought by life constantly.

“Good thing I have a system.”

Lu Changsheng secretly said in his heart.

With the system, he only needs to be peaceful, marrying wives and concubines, having babies and raising them, and then he can obtain the treasures of opportunity that countless people can’t even beg for in a lifetime.

From there, the road to immortality is clear.

“I also don’t know how Fei Yu is doing in Qingluan Immortal City.”

Lu Changsheng thought of his best friend Li Feiyu again.

Although the other side did not elaborate.

But he also knew that Li Fei Yu was just following the life-fighting path of hunting demonic beasts, exploring relics, and the caves of his predecessors.

This is the kind of accident that can happen if you are not careful.

Jiang Country, Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

This mountain range stretched endlessly, stretching out from the southern border of the Jiang Kingdom all the way across a small half of the Southern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation Realm.

It was also a natural barrier between Kang and Yue.

Due to the large number of demonic beasts within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and the growth of many rare spiritual medicines and herbs, there were cultivators who entered the mountain range all year round to practice and hunt the demonic beasts.

After all, for cultivators, demonic beasts were covered in treasure.

Flesh, blood, fur, sinews and bones can all be sold for a good price.

If one could come across some demonic beast cubs and rare spirit herbs, it would be a great harvest.

At this moment, on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, five cultivators were besieging two serpentine demonic beasts that were blue in color.

These two pythons were both very large.

The body size was more than a meter thick, exuding a strong aura, and the two ghostly eyes flashed with cold light, constantly spraying cold air towards people.

“Roar!”

One of the cultivators let out an explosive cry, letting out a wild lion-like roar, causing the giant python that was about to attack to stall.

Then a golden rope was offered to bind a giant python, and he shouted under his breath, “Old Knight!”

Immediately.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, tall, dressed in a black power suit, with a fierce look on his face, and holding a red-colored long sword shot out with a step.

His muscles erupted and bulged, and the long knife in his hand surged with red aura, ruthlessly chopping down at the seven inches of the giant python.

“Clang!”

This blade was as powerful and overbearing as thunder, directly shattering the python’s protective aura.

It then landed on its turquoise blue snake scales, emitting a golden sound that vaguely broke through the scales.

“Hissssssssss!”

The giant python roared, its body surged with spiritual light, and the snake’s tail swung violently, swinging on the black power suit man.

“Boom!”

The black power suit man with his sword flew out directly backwards, smashing into a large tree in the distance and knocking it down.

Luckily, at the critical time, his body shield surged around him, resisting most of the damage and not seriously injuring him.

“Kill while you can!”

Seeing this, the three people who were entangled with the other python also drove their magic weapons and cast spells in unison at this moment, turning their heads to blast towards this python whose protective aura was shattered.

“Ow ow ow ow–“

The giant python hissed and wailed under the raging attack.

This kind of roar made the other python almost go crazy.

However, these five people were obviously very experienced in facing demonic beasts.

In this case, there was no choice to continue to fight hard, but to keep stalking.

It was only after grinding one python to death that he began to meet the other python head on, slowly decimating it.

“The harvest is good this time, the materials of these two Blue Blood Pythons are able to sell for quite a lot of money.”

After decapitating the two pythons, an old man with gray hair and wearing a gray vestment said.

“These two Blue Blood Pythons should be a pair, I wonder if they have spawned.”

“If it spawns, it’ll make a fortune.”

A middle-aged woman dressed in a large red robe spoke.

“Spawn, what were you thinking, no such luck.”

Another green-robed man shook his head and said.

Immediately, the few people walked towards the cave of these two-headed blue blood pythons.

These demonic beasts live in the mountain range, and when they see any treasures, or the remains of Immortal Cultivators, the corpses of other demonic beasts, or even spiritual medicines and herbs, they will bring them back to the cave.

So sometimes after killing demonic beasts and exploring caves, there would be unexpected rewards.

“It actually did spawn, eight blue-blooded python eggs!”

When the red-robed woman saw the depths of the cave, her eyes lit up in surprise.

“What, it’s still true?”

“These eight turquoise blood python snake eggs can be sold for four or five hundred spirit stones!”

“This wave is profitable!”

When the others heard this, they looked at the snake eggs, and surprise appeared in their eyes.

For them, four to five hundred Spirit Stones divided equally would be almost a hundred Spirit Stones each.

Count on a modest income.

However.

The gray-robed old man, however, looked towards a gray, dark crystal core at this moment.

His slightly cloudy eyes were dead wide at the sight of the dark-colored crystal core, and his throat went a little dry.

“Uncle Shaw, what are you looking at?”

The red-robed woman asked out loud when she saw the gray-robed old man frozen in place.

Then he followed his gaze and instantly saw the dark colored crystal core.

“It’s a demon core!”

The red-robed woman exclaimed.

Demon cores, similar to a human Immortal Cultivator’s dao base, stored the core of mana.

But not all second-order demonic beasts had demonic cores.

Only some rare, or more powerful second rank demonic beasts had demon cores.

Because having a demon core meant that this demonic beast had the potential to advance to the third stage.

If it was promoted to the third stage, the demon core would also metamorphose into a ‘demon dan’, corresponding to the True Dan or Golden Dan of a JieDan cultivator.

At this moment, within the Blue Blood Python’s cave, a demon core actually appeared.

Although this demon core looked like it had spilled a lot of energy, it was also worth a lot.

Another eight turquoise blood python eggs and another demon core instantly caused the atmosphere inside the cave to freeze.

After all, money moves people.

The five of them only often cooperated in hunting demonic beasts, and they could not yet talk about how deep their friendship was.

Now that such a great benefit has appeared, it is natural for thoughts to appear in people’s minds.

“This demon core is estimated to be able to sell for two to three thousand spirit stones.”

“When the time comes to sell it, each of us will be able to share at least five or six hundred spirit stones.”

At that moment, the gray-robed old man spoke out towards the crowd.

When the other few people heard this, they all had happy faces.

That’s not a small amount of spirit stones.

“This demon core, in whose hands do we place it?”

The green-robed man said in a deep voice.

Like the Blue Blood Python, they could just dispose of the corpse as a material and each person would share it equally according to its value.

The same goes for snake eggs.

The three extra snake eggs were converted into spirit stones.

But there was no way to deal with such a valuable demon core.

With these words, the atmosphere within the cave froze again.

“What’s going on! I’m so dizzy.”

Just then, the red-robed woman suddenly held her forehead, her body shaking.

“No good, it’s poisonous!”

The green-robed man trembled, also sensing that something was wrong.

“Who poisoned them!”

The black power suit man’s face was fierce and he chortled, but he also trembled and stumbled.

The elegant middle-aged man among the five, looked at the gray-robed old man and said in a cold voice, “Old man Xiao, it was you who poisoned him!”

Between the words, a spiritual force shield was formed around his body to isolate the toxin.

“Fellow Daoist Yao, you actually have anti-poisoning treasures?”

The gray-robed old man looked at the elegant man with some surprise.

His Soul Breaking Scatter is colorless and tasteless, and unless he has divine sense, ordinary cultivators will not be able to detect it.

So the elegant man was not poisoned, letting him know that he must have some kind of anti-poison treasure.

With these words, the other three all glared angrily at the gray-robed old man.

But at this moment, they could no longer speak, staggered, spat out blood, and fell to the ground.

“Fellow Daoist Yao, this treasure of yours, I’m afraid that it can’t completely protect against the old man’s ‘Soul Severing Scattering’, so it’s not too late for you to hurry and leave.”

The gray-robed old man continued to speak, saying slowly.

“Alright, this matter is something that Mister Yao recognizes.”

The elegant man sniffed and knew that in this situation, he was no match for the gray-robed old man.

Looking wary of the gray-robed old man, he slowly exited the cave.

“Wait.”

Just as the elegant man was about to leave, the gray-robed old man suddenly opened his mouth to call him back.

Out loud, he said, “Daoist Yao will take these snake eggs, in that case, how about this matter be revealed like this?”

“No need.”

Although Taoist Yao was moved, he didn’t dare to stay longer and left quickly.

Yet just then.

“Puff-“

A purple light swept out of the gray-robed old man’s sleeve.

However, it was a thunder talisman that was seen killing towards the elegant man.

At the same time, a golden cone artifact was offered and turned into golden light towards the elegant man to kill him.

How could he let someone go in this situation.

Once the news leaked out, he was afraid that he would be subject to an interception attack before he even returned to Qingluan Immortal City.

After all, in this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, not only were the demonic beasts dangerous, but they also had to beware of other cultivators.

This was why, many cultivators teamed up to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

It was not only that the mountain range was treacherous, but also the fear of just leaving the mountain range, physically and mentally exhausted, and encountering another robber cultivator.

“Boom boom boom–“

The elegant man faced the gray-robed old man’s attack and immediately offered up a small earth-yellow shield.

However, under this offensive blast, the spiritual force shield around him suddenly dimmed a lot, making him feel that a toxin had entered his body.

As the old man said, he had anti-poisoning treasures.

However, it was just an ordinary treasure that could not always protect against the opposing toxin.

“Pfft…”

The gray-robed old man continued to strike.

The elegant man knew that he was no match for the old man and kept retreating, fleeing the cave.

But the gray-robed old man immediately pursued.

Just as the two of them had just walked out of the cave, the black power suit man who had fainted from poisoning opened his eyes.

“What a powerful toxin, it’s actually colorless and tasteless without a trace.”

“If I hadn’t cultivated the Xuan Armor Refining Technique, I might have to plant myself here this trip.”

Li Feiyu looked towards the entrance of the cave, his face grave.

He sensed that something was wrong with the old man at the very first moment, sensing that there was an abnormality.

Immediately close the pores to breathe.

But the toxin is truly powerful, colorless and odorless, without a trace.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had cultivated his Body Refining Technique to the third layer, and his physical body was comparable to the late stage of Qi Refining, and he had a certain amount of poison resistance, he would have to be planted here.

Without delay, he took out an antidote elixir from his storage bag and took it to cleanse his body of toxins.

Then he pinched a talisman in his hand and continued to play dead, waiting for the gray-robed old man to return.

Before long, the gray-robed old man rushed back to the cave.

His breath was slightly disorganized.

In order to have a quick battle and finish off the elegant man, he didn’t hold back his hand either.

“After this trip, I can stop living this life on the edge of a knife, too.”

The gray-robed old man took the second-order demon core in his hands, a look of delight on his face.

He was already in his sixties and had long since lost the possibility of impacting the Foundation Establishment.

Nowadays, going out to hunt demonic beasts is also for the sake of the younger generation.

However, just then, out of the blue.

He detected a blazing heat and an aura of sharpness.

“No good!”

The gray-robed old man subconsciously wanted to give birth to a spiritual force shield.

However, the hasty air shield was directly broken open by the Fiery Flame Talisman and the rigid and overbearing blade awnings.

Next moment.

“Pfft…”

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh rang out.

The gray-robed old man’s vision suddenly tumbled and he fell through the air to see a headless body.

It was none other than his own corpse.

And behind the corpse stood a rigid man dressed in black power suit and holding a long red-colored sword.

“Why isn’t he dead?”

The gray-robed old man fell into endless darkness with his consciousness with shock and unwillingness.

“Whew!”

Li Feiyu let out a long breath after he killed the gray-robed old man with a slash.

He was also very nervous about the situation just now.

After all, the old man had the ninth level of Qi Refining cultivation, while he was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

The only thing he relied on was the Body Refinement Technique of the late Qi Refining stage.

He quickly put away the cave several people’s storage bags.

The body is then burned to ashes with a firebomb spell.

“Now that I’m alone and returning to Qingluan Immortal City alone, I’m afraid that I’ll be in danger as well.”

“This demon core might be able to allow me to break through the bottleneck at the late stage of Qi Refining.”

“Late stage Qi Refining cultivation and Body Refining Technique, so there’s a little more certainty in returning to Qingluan Immortal City.”

Li Feiyu looked at the gray demon core in his hand and showed a fierce look.

Most of the demonic beast crystal cores had a berserk attribute.

If a cultivator directly absorbed it, not only would it waste energy, but it would also easily injure his body.

Not at all as effective as refining it into an elixir.

But in the present situation, Li Feiyu couldn’t care less.

The matter of the Black Cloud Mountain Range Ruins Mystery Realm did not have any impact on Lu Changsheng’s daily life other than making him a small fortune.

He now spent most of his day making talismans and drawing second-order talismans in preparation for his trip to the Nine Heavens Immortal City.

After nearly a year of this, he had also saved nearly a hundred second-order spirit talismans, which could form talisman formations that could blast the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or even False Dan.

But to refine talismans into formations, you can never have too many talismans.

The more talismans there are, the more powerful the talisman array will be.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t in a hurry to travel to the Nine Heavens Immortal City, so he was prepared to stock up on more talismans for his own use.

Moreover, this trip to the Nine Heavens Immortal City was a long journey, and it would take quite a bit of time to go back and forth.

It’s estimated to take most of the year, if not a year.

So he’s going to have to put things in place behind the scenes as well.

The talismans supplied by his family’s spirit talisman store and the talismans supplied to the Lu family were all prepared in advance.

Just like that, in a flash, three months passed.

“Boom!”

On this day, Lu Changsheng felt a stream of Qi surging into his body.

Knowing that it was his son Lu Quanzhen who had broken through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

These sons and daughters of the family are now all waiting to break through the middle stage of Qi Refining and then go out to practice.

Lu Changsheng also went back to Green Bamboo Mountain to give arrangements to Lu Quanzhen.

This son has a strong personality and wants to go out into the world.

So Lu Changsheng didn’t arrange him to experience life in the workshop either.

Instead, they sent him to the world to follow Hong Yi.

Now Hong Yi has become the Marquis Ruyi’s son.

He is in charge of the entire Ruyi County.

Not only the jianghu martial arts, but also the secular moth-eaten cultivators are in rebellion and have to be dealt with.

So this son will be arranged to the secular, not only can see the jianghu martial arts, secular cultivation, growth of experience, but also not to encounter any danger.

“Brother Lu, don’t worry, I’ll take care of my nephew Quan Zhen Xian.”

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had sent his son for him to look after, along with his own experience, Hong Yi answered in one breath.

Then to the side of a twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a brocade robe, extraordinary temperament, said, “Xuanji, in the future and your brother Quanzhen get along well, to love like brothers, support each other.”

This teenager was named Hong Xuanji, Hong Yi’s sixth son, possessing a seventh grade spiritual root, and was deeply loved by Hong Yi.

“Yes, Father!”

Hearing his father’s words, Hong Xuanji nodded his head in response.

He also knew that his own father’s ability to be where he was today had a lot to do with this Uncle Lu.

Moreover, the Lu Quanzhen in front of him was only three years older than him, but his cultivation was already in the middle stage of Qi Refining, if he befriended him, he would be helpful to himself in the future.

“Quan Zhen, in the future, listen to your Uncle Hong more, and if there is anything, you write back.”

“Remember to write to your mother during the weekdays, go home more often when you have time, and visit your sister as well .”

Qu Zhenzhen, who was on the side, said with red eyes and a face full of reluctance towards her son.

Although her son was so old, he had always been a child in her eyes, and she was also very uneasy about him coming to the world to make his way in the world.

“Mother, don’t worry, child knows.”

Lu Quanzhen looked at his own mother’s appearance, and a few points of helplessness appeared on his face.

Spinning out a comforting voice, he said that he would be careful and safe, and when he had time, he would write home and bring his sister home for a visit, so please don’t worry about his mother.

The corner of Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly as he watched this scene.

I don’t know how Lu Quanzhen’s temperament was raised.

This son he had taught, but most of the time it was still Qu Zhenzhen who taught him.

But Qu Zhenzhen faced the child, although not to say spoiled, but also can not afford to scold.

Even sometimes when you preach to your children, you condescend to yourself and feel that you didn’t teach them well.

So seeing that his son Lu Quanzhen has a precocious character and is very opinionated, Lu Changsheng doesn’t know how he was raised.

Let’s just say that some children’s personalities may have a few influences at birth.

“Makoto, we can come over to see Quanjin as often as you want.”

Lu Changsheng also said towards his wife.

After settling his son Lu Quanzhen, Lu Changsheng also brought Qu Zhenzhen to the Lu Mansion for a small stay.

The eldest son, Lu Pingan, had really gone out on his own to venture into the world after practicing in the Red Whale Gang for a year before, and had not yet returned.

The second son, Lu Wuyu, was arranged by Hong Yi to work as a county magistrate in a county under the South Yu Province.

Her daughter Lu Wuyou also shouted every day that she wanted to be a warrior woman and go into the world, but her mother Lu Zi’er wouldn’t let her.

And Lu Changsheng is also afraid that his daughter will suffer, so he also pretends that he does not know about this matter, and does not agree with his daughter to go out and break into the world.

Now that Lu Changsheng and Qu Zhenzhen have come to the Lu Mansion, his wife Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing’er, Lu Zi’er, and other concubines have also talked to Lu Changsheng about their children’s marriages.

Children like Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile are all 17 or 18 years old and have reached the age of marriage, so it’s time to think about getting married.

In regards to this aspect, Lu Changsheng was also quite emotional in his heart.

Jude remembers when these children were born.

Unbeknownst to me, these children are also grown up and about to get married.

In this regard, he also let Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing’er, Lu Zi’er and the others look at the arrangements.

However, the marriage is subject to the consent of one’s sons and daughters.

After all, in his situation today, there is no need to consider the weighing of interests when it comes to the marriage of his children.

The main thing is also to let your son or daughter be happy and like it, and make their own choices.
