Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 347 - 327: Where in Life Do We Not Meet Again

Seventy thousand li to the east of the Xuanyuan Water Realm.

Thousand Cranes Lake.

"Have you found out?" Ling Yi, the real person, looked at Zhao Yang standing before him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Zhao Yang had a worried look on his face and sighed, "It's the Annihilation Divine Sect to the north."

"As expected!" Ling Yi, the real person, sighed similarly, obviously having anticipated the result.

In the past nearly thirty years, the Feather Immortal Pavilion had worked closely with the Fiery Fire Wanderer of the Illusion Wave Sea. The former was responsible for collecting various Artifact Refining and Alchemy materials, while the latter supplied Mingqing Spirit Water.

Although the quantity was small, it earned Feather Immortal Pavilion a pretty penny. The Mingqing Spirit Water, bought for a hundred Spirit Stones, was sold for over two hundred.

At first, once released, it was immediately snapped up. Although sales had slowed recently, selling over a hundred portions in a year was still effortless.

But recently...

In all the branches of Feather Immortal Pavilion, the stock of Mingqing Spirit Water had been wiped clean. Furthermore, based on Feather Immortal Pavilion's findings, the Mingqing Spirit Water operated by other trade associations was also acquired within just two or three days.

Those running trade associations are extremely sensitive to any changes in the market.

Feather Immortal Pavilion was no exception.

They immediately sent people to investigate, and the trail led to the Annihilation Divine Sect in the north.

"The supreme 'Annihilation Divine Eye' technique of the Annihilation Divine Sect is a Super-level technique for cultivating the Spirit Eye. With the effects of Mingqing Spirit Water, how could the Annihilation Divine Sect ignore it once they discovered it?" Ling Yi, the real person, shook his head.

From the beginning, Ling Yi, the real person, had anticipated this situation, but he chose to cooperate due to the prospects of profit and the absence of repercussions. Now, his sigh was merely for a highly profitable income source that was about to be cut off, a reluctant farewell.

"With the Annihilation Divine Sect's overbearing nature, they will not let go of the formula for Mingqing Spirit Water once the investigation is clear."

"The person in the Illusion Wave Sea is in trouble."

Zhao Yang looked north, his expression complex, then turned to Ling Yi, the real person, "Should we not warn that person?"

"No need."

"Just pretend we don't know. Otherwise, if the Fiery Fire Wanderer becomes fearful and flees, the Annihilation Divine Sect will take out its anger on our Feather Immortal Pavilion." Ling Yi, the real person, shook his head.

For the sake of a partner, it wasn't worth jeopardizing oneself.

"Yes."

Zhao Yang sighed inwardly and said no more.

...

Chao Tian Pool.

Lu Qingfeng held the Dutian Xuanming Strategy in his hand, with continuous roars inside it as he waited quietly.

After a full eight hours.

Only eight hundred Green Cloth Warriors were refined, but all three thousand six hundred Xuanming Yin Soldiers had already broken through to the peak of the Spirit Void Stage.

"Majestic!"

Each one dressed in Xuanming Armor, holding a shield in one hand and a long spear in the other, they emitted a chilling aura that made Lu Qingfeng's heart surge with excitement.

"With such Daoist Soldiers in hand, even if the Dutian Ghost General has yet to return to its place, it doesn't matter. I am powerful enough to run rampant!"

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Xuanming Yin Soldiers arranged solemnly in the Magic Artifact Space, and couldn't help but laugh.

Previously, the Fifth-Order Dutian Xuanming Strategy had only thirty-six Juyun Ghost Generals at the peak of the Spirit Void Stage, and one thousand and eighty Foundation Establishment Ghost Soldiers, allowing Lu Qingfeng's True Yuan to be infinite. With his Foundation Establishment Level cultivation, he was able to stand firmly against a Core Formation Real Person.

Now his cultivation has reached the Spirit Void.

And the Magic Artifact was upgraded to the Sixth Rank.

Lu Qingfeng's personal strength has increased not just by ten or a hundred times!

In the Green Wood King Ding, the remaining one thousand two hundred Green Cloth Warriors were entirely sufficient. The extra three thousand six hundred were useless in battle, serving only as labor for cultivating Spiritual Medicine; refining them directly was of no concern to Lu Qingfeng.

Compared to tangible power, an excess of menial labor isn't worth fretting over.

Killing the chicken to get the eggs?

That was not even an issue.

With the Green Wood King Ding in hand, Lu Qingfeng could refine more Postnatal Foundation Establishment Level Green Cloth Warriors at any time. If he were to dismantle and refine the Green Wood King Ding, that would be killing the chicken to get the eggs.

The mere Green Cloth Warriors, or rather, the Spirit Void Peak Green Cloth Warriors, were just somewhat hard-to-come-by eggs.

"From now on..."

"In the Core Formation Realm, I have no equal!"

Lu Qingfeng felt boundless pride.

Fortunate for his tempered mind, he didn't let excitement or agitation cloud his judgment.

With a thought.

He dispatched three hundred Xuanming Yin Soldiers from the ranks, which flew out of the Dutian Xuanming Strategy and disappeared into the void.

"First, replace the three Dutian Ghost Generals secretly protecting Qingyu with others, upgrade them to their peak, and then retrieve the three Dutian Ghost Generals following Qingshan to do the same."

Half a year ago, as Changqing Daoist, Lu Qingfeng had slain six Void Core Real Persons from the White Bone Demon Sect.

Their Divine Souls were taken.

Three months ago, when the Dutian Xuanming Strategy was upgraded to the Sixth Rank, he immediately refined the Dutian Ghost Generals and dispatched three of them to secretly protect Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu.

However, since they were only Void Core Divine Souls and had become Dutian Ghost Generals.

Their strength was somewhat inferior to regular Void Core Real Persons, able to crush Spirit Void Practitioners only. They were passable for general situations, but facing Core Formation experts or even Golden Core Experts, they wouldn't last an instant in battle.

It was still somewhat risky.

"Now that only eight hundred Green Cloth Warriors have been refined, all Xuanming Yin Soldiers have been brought to their full potential."

"The remaining Green Cloth Warriors are entirely sufficient to bring all thirty-six Dutian Ghost Generals to their zenith as well."

Once the Ghost Generals were upgraded.

Each would have three Core Formation Stage peak Dutian Ghost Generals for protection, significantly increasing the safety for Lu Qingshan, who would go north for training, and for Lu Qingyu, who was training in the southern Juyun Mountain Range.

Six Core Formation Stage peak Dutian Ghost Generals might be negligible for him.

But for Qingshan and Qingyu, it might save their lives—a matter of great significance.

Within his power, without delaying their training, Lu Qingfeng naturally did his utmost to protect his brother and sister's safety.

Sensing the three hundred Xuanming Yin Soldiers forming formations and taking off into the distance.

Lu Qingfeng then retracted his gaze, pondering over the matter of the Yuu Mountain Immortal Mansion in six months and the hanging sword of the Green Wood Valley overhead.

"Half a year's time, more than enough for the Green Wood Valley to respond."

"Besides the movement of the Heavenly Mechanism half a year ago, when someone attempted to divine my whereabouts, there has been no other activity." freewebnoveℓ.com

Lu Qingyu pondered.

From this, it seemed hard to predict whether Green Wood Valley had other means, but he still needed to return to the Xuanyuan Sect. If Green Wood Valley truly had unsuspected ways to locate his true body, with his current strength, he wouldn't be afraid.

Furthermore.

Even the Heavenly Mechanism's divinations failed to find him. As long as he didn't reveal the Magic Artifacts and techniques he obtained from Yuu Mountain Daoist, the chances of Green Wood Valley locating him were infinitesimally small.

"However."

"There's no rush to return to the Xuanyuan Water Realm."

Lu Qingyu looked north, his figure shuddered, and in the blink of an eye, his attire changed to a Profound Green Daoist Robe, his face firm and handsome, with long hair tied up casually yet gracefully.

A purple-gold bowl hung at his waist, and his right hand toyed with the Green and Red Double Beads.

He strode forward.

And vanished into Chao Tian Pool.

…

White Bone Realm.

Nine Desolate Sea.

This place was the sacred cultivation ground for the middle-level disciples of the White Bone Demon Sect. Bones piled upon bones within the Nine Desolate Sea, creating an endless flow of White Bone Demon Evil Qi. Foundation Establishment Stage disciples practicing the White Bone Mysterious Skill here would find their efforts doubly effective.

Only those with outstanding merits, extraordinary talents, or those who contributed enough Spirit Stones could enter the Nine Desolate Sea for cultivation.

Such a crucial place.

Naturally, it was overseen by the strong cultivators of the White Bone Demon Sect.

Nine Spirit Void Peak Practitioners coordinated with an array that enveloped the entire Nine Desolate Sea.

Even if a Jiedan True Man arrived, they could be fended off easily; the defensive power was without question.

One day.

Luo Yu was cultivating at one of the nine Demon Evil Nests within the Nine Desolate Sea.

These were the nine focal points where the qi of the White Bone Demon Evil was richest, which even the Spirit Void Peak Practitioners found quite beneficial to their cultivation. Thus, defending the Nine Desolate Sea was also a coveted opportunity.

Around Luo Yu.

Demonic Qi enveloped him.

In front of him, a white bone figure was condensing, continuously absorbing Demon Evil Qi. Clearly, Luo Yu's cultivation of the White Bone Mysterious Skill focused on external mastery rather than self-cultivation; he was cultivating a White Bone Demon God.

Once completed, while many techniques would require the White Bone Demon God to execute, his survival capabilities would dramatically increase.

There were pros and cons.

While he was cultivating,

suddenly, the White Bone Jade Talisman on his waist flickered, emitting a scorching light.

"Hm?"

"A scourge from the Xuanyuan Sect?!"

Luo Yu's brow lifted, and without any indication, he leaped out and rushed from the Demon Evil Nest.

The White Bone Demon God closely followed behind him.

Standing above the Nine Desolate Sea, Luo Yu looked in all directions and loudly commanded, "Wan Ze, Sheng Hai, Gong Yushan, my three junior brothers, follow me swiftly to hunt down the scourge of the Xuanyuan Sect!"

As soon as he spoke,

three more figures thundered out from the Nine Desolate Sea.

One of them, like Luo Yu, also cultivated a Demon God externally, with a White Bone Demon God following behind him. The other two, each wielding Magic Artifacts and alone by themselves, followed the path of internal mastery.

Luo Yu did not dawdle.

Leading the three, they rushed straight out of the Nine Desolate Sea.

…

Lu Qingyu ambled leisurely toward Feiling River.

"The Feiling River is buried with Spirit Stone Veins. Though not guarded by a Jiedan True Man, there are often visits from True Men there."

"A little wait, and it'll be ripe for the picking."

Lu Qingyu, having frequented the White Bone Realm, was already well-acquainted with it.

The lay of the land in each territory, and where there might be Jiedan True Men from the White Bone Demon Sect, were all noted in his mind.

In the Three Realms, True Men were scarce after all.

Hence.

The ones sitting on the properties of the White Bone Demon Sect were mostly Spirit Void Peak Disciples. The same was true not just for the White Bone Demon Sect, but also for Xuanyuan Sect and Heavenly Travel Mountain.

Only places like Soul Swinging Mountain, where a single Soul Swinging Stone would be worth thousands of Spirit Stones, were guarded by Jiedan True Men.

Elsewhere.

Places like Spirit Stone Veins and treasured cultivation realms.

Were all watched over by Spirit Void Peak Practitioners.

Arrayed adeptly, ordinary Loose Cultivators had difficulty causing trouble, and Jiedan True Men would not lower themselves for a few dozen or hundred Spirit Stones from a Spirit Stone Mine.

Spirit Void Peak was more than sufficient.

"I'm not lacking for Spirit Void Stage for the time being."

"Let's kill a few Jiedan True Men first, then gather enough Dutian Ghost Generals before speaking further."

Lu Qingyu's right hand played with the Wind and Fire Dual Beads, while his left continued calculations within his sleeves.

He headed straight for Feiling River.

"Across the Nine Desolate Sea up ahead lies Feiling River," Lu Qingyu glanced at the space ahead where demonic vapor rose, shrouded by the qi of the White Bone Demon Evil.

At this glance,

A look of surprise crossed his face.

"Life indeed has a way of bringing encounters at the most unexpected places."

Lu Qingyu looked ahead.

Not far from the Nine Desolate Sea, six cultivators were locked in intense combat. Various mysterious techniques and Magic Artifacts flew about, leveling hills and collapsing the earth.

However.

Among them were two cultivators, a man, and a woman, clad in plain clothes, clearly at a disadvantage.

They sought to escape, but four other cultivators blocked them from all sides, with two White Bone Demon Gods relentlessly advancing, preventing them from fleeing.
