Chapter 142 News about Shi Ningyu (please subscribe!)
After the volcanic eruption in the Burning Mountains, many outside monks left the vicinity of the Burning Mountains.
However, there are also some casual cultivators who choose to stay near the Burning Flame Mountains, including some casual cultivators in the foundation-building realm.
Qinglingshanfang City rents and sells second-level caves. This gimmick is very attractive to those casual cultivators who are building foundations.
The biggest dilemma in casual cultivation is that there is no suitable cultivation environment. In the world of immortal cultivation, first-order spiritual veins are relatively good, but second-order spiritual veins are very rare.
Just like the Lu family's Chiyan Mountain spiritual vein, it was cultivated from the first level to the second level by the Lu family at great cost.
It is extremely difficult for casual cultivators to cultivate, and they simply do not have enough financial resources to cultivate second-level spiritual veins.
The price of the second-level caves rented and sold by the Lu family is not expensive, and is within the affordability of casual construction foundations.
However, those who rent caves in Qinglingshanfang City are all casual cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. This is because casual cultivators who can practice to the middle stage of foundation building basically have the ability to occupy a second-level spiritual vein for cultivation.
And at that time, the Lu family did not have monks who were in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and they did not dare to rent the cave to monks who were in the middle stage of foundation establishment for a long time, so as not to cause any problems again.
There are currently three casual cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who have been living in Qinglingshanfang City for a long time. They are quite honest in Qinglingshanfang City and do not dare to cause trouble in Qinglingshanfang City.
After all, there are only a few monks in the foundation-building realm, and Qinglingshanfang City attracts many monks in the Qi-refining realm.
Some of these Qi Refining Realm monks are casual cultivators, while others are relatively small nearby cultivating forces. They are the main source of income for the Lu family.
In addition to Qinglingshanfang City, mining of mineral deposits such as the Lingshi Mine in Yunling Valley and the refined iron ore in Yuhua Mountain has also begun.
Now that the Lu family is strong enough, they no longer need to be secretive when mining these mineral deposits, and the mining speed is also much faster.
The refined iron mines in Yuhua Mountain were originally occupied by the Ziluan Wang family. When the evil cultivators invaded, the Ziluan Wang family had bad luck and lacked strength, and was exterminated by the evil cultivators.
The evil cultivators' methods were extremely ruthless. They not only massacred the monks of the Ziluan Wang family, but also massacred the ordinary people of the Ziluan Wang family.
In the end, these evil cultivators were lost in the hands of the Lu family. The resources of the Ziluan Wang family that the evil cultivators plundered eventually fell into the hands of the Lu family.
The second-level iron concentrate in Yunhua Mountain was originally the spoil of war after the Lu family destroyed the Qingling Chen family, but the Ziluan Wang family took advantage of the chaos to occupy the second-level iron concentrate in Yunhua Mountain in advance.
At that time, the Lu family only had two monks, Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengan, who were in the early stages of foundation building. In addition, the Burning Flame Mountain Range was about to erupt. They were still planning to find the Tianhong Zhao family to take revenge, so they ignored the Ziluan Wang family. .
Originally, Lu Wenxing thought that he would wait until the volcanic eruption in the Fenyan Mountains ended and the Lu family's situation stabilized, then go find the Ziluan Wang family to take back the second-level iron concentrate in Yunhua Mountain.
It was just that the plan caught up with the change. The Ziluan Wang family was destroyed by the evil cultivator, and the second-level refined iron ore in Yunhua Mountain also fell into the hands of the Lu family.
The Purple Luan Wang family is good at cultivating monsters, especially birds and monsters. In fact, the most famous one is the Crested Purple Luan.
Wang Zhongyuan, the patriarch of the Ziluan Wang family, even trained his crested Ziluan to the early stage of the second level. This was also the reason why he dared to seize the second level refined iron ore of Yunhua Mountain from the Lu family.
The second-level early-stage Crested Purple Luan trained by Wang Zhongyuan was also killed by the evil cultivator outside Chiyan Mountain along with him.
The Lu family obtained the beast-controlling inheritance of the Ziluan Wang family from the evil cultivator, and also obtained the eggs of some bird-like monsters.
There are many people in the Lu family who are interested in the inheritance of Ziluan Wang’s beast control. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is Lu Wensu, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
After Lu Wenxing learned about this, he simply gave Lu Wensu some resources and asked him to lead some monks in the clan who were interested in beast control to open a zoo in Heisong Mountain to cultivate monster beasts for the family.
Heisong Mountain was originally the place where the Lu family opened a market. After the market was moved to Qingling Mountain, the spiritual land of Heisong Mountain was put aside for the time being.
Now the zoo in Heisong Mountain has been basically completed. However, there are not many monks in the Lu family who practice the way of controlling beasts, and Lu Wensu and others have not been in contact with the inheritance of beast control for a long time. Therefore, the zoo in Heisong Mountain The scale is also small.
Lu Chengan is also very interested in the inheritance of beast control. He is interested in beast control mainly because of his impression of immortals in his previous life.
The distinguished immortals he knew did not fly with swords when they went out, but all rode very impressive mounts.
It is a pity that there are not many monsters with good bloodline and attractive appearance, and the time he can put them on is not enough. Until now, he has not found a suitable monster to cultivate.
Lu Chengan did not have a particularly strong desire to cultivate monsters, so he did not ask his family to help find them.
After the Ziluan Wang family was exterminated, the second-level spiritual veins they occupied did not fall into the hands of the Lu family, but were occupied by a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
That casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building was called Black Wind Master Tu Ming. He was quite powerful and acted extremely domineeringly.
After Lu Wenxing learned that Tu Ming possessed the second-order spiritual vein of the Ziluan Wang family, he did not want to take back this second-order spiritual vein from Tu Ming, and even intended to make friends with Tu Ming.
Luofeng Mountain, where Ziluan Wang’s second-level spiritual vein is located, is very close to Qingling Mountain, only more than 400 miles away.
Tu Ming, a casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, became the closest neighbor to the Lu family after occupying Luofeng Mountain.
Although Lu Wenxing took the initiative to show his kindness, Tu Ming behaved very coldly and had no intention of having a close relationship with the Lu family.
After Lu Wenxing noticed Tu Ming's attitude, he naturally stopped communicating with Tu Ming.
Although Tu Ming's cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building, he is a casual cultivator after all, and he is alone.
The Lu family has four monks who are in the foundation-building realm. It’s not like the Lu family has never killed monks in the late-stage foundation-building stage, so naturally they are not afraid of Tu Ming, a casual cultivator in the late-stage foundation-building stage.
Although Tu Ming never thought about making friends with the Lu family, he also never thought about becoming enemies with the Lu family. He and the Lu family became neighbors without any communication.
After Lu Chengan learned about the current situation of the Lu family from Lu Wenmei, he took out dozens of kilograms of meat from the second-stage early stage blackfish and gave it to Lu Wenmei.
According to Zhu Yan, eating the flesh and blood of this black fish can enhance the monk's physical strength.
Lu Chengan and Zhu Yan killed a second-stage early-stage phoenix-billed snakehead fish in the magma river. The early-stage second-stage phoenix-billed snakehead fish weighed more than three hundred kilograms.
The edible portion that Lu Chengan sorted out was only about two hundred kilograms, which was not a lot.
Lu Chengan did not expect to rely on the flesh and blood of these black fish to greatly improve his physical strength, so he prepared to give more than ten kilograms each to the other three foundation-building monks in the clan.
The quantity of the first-order blackfish he obtained was relatively large. In addition to the ten kilograms of flesh and blood of the early second-order blackfish, the extra flesh and blood was the flesh and blood of the first-order blackfish.
Lu Wenmei was not polite to Lu Chengan and just put it away. After that, Lu Chengan left Lu Wenmei's cave with those materials, but he did not return to his own cave, but went to his brother-in-law's cave.
Lu Wenhua has been practicing with great concentration in Chiyan Mountain during this period. He wears the Spirit Gathering Jade Medal specially refined for him by Lu Chengan, which allows him to improve his cultivation. Much faster.
His current cultivation level has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. Now he is working hard to polish his cultivation level in preparation for breaking through to the foundation building realm.
After Lu Chengan met Lu Wenhua, the uncle and nephew talked a lot. Finally, Lu Chengan asked Lu Wenhua not to put too much pressure on him, and at the same time, he also gave away part of the flesh and blood of the first-order blackfish.
After Lu Chengan left Lu Wenhua's cave, he returned to his own cave.
He did not practice, but started cooking a pot of fish soup with the blood and flesh of the second-level early stage blackfish, preparing to taste the taste of this monster beast.
It is true that he has hunted the blackfish for a while, but he had been staying on Green Crocodile Island before and really didn't have time to taste the taste of this monster beast.
The phoenix-billed blackfish is indeed a rare delicacy, and after Lu Chengan ate the flesh and blood of the phoenix-billed blackfish, he could clearly feel the nourishment of this monster beast's flesh and blood on his body.
This made him think a lot. When the matter with the Fire Spider Clan is over, maybe he can let Zhu Yan take him to the depths of the magma river again to hunt this delicious food.
Of course, this was just Lu Chengan's fleeting thought.
After he stayed in the cave in Chiyan Mountain for one night, he spoke to Lu Wenmei, who was guarding Chiyan Mountain, and then rushed to the Alchemy Sect.
Lu Chengan went to the Alchemy Sect this time mainly for Zhu Yan. After all, before leaving Qingcrocodile Island, he agreed to help Zhu Yan purchase the second-level elixir to strengthen the foundation and restore the essence.
Zhu Yan’s cultivation level is at the middle level of the second level, and the elixir she takes is best at the middle level of the second level.
Although Lu Wenmei is now a second-level low-level alchemist, the types of second-level low-level elixirs she can refine are still very limited, and they cannot meet Lu Chengan's needs.
Furthermore, after Lu Chengan's current cultivation level reaches the middle stage of foundation building, he is also planning to purchase some second-level middle-grade elixirs from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
In addition to the second-level elixirs, Lu Chengan was not going to buy the first-level elixirs that Zhu Yan needed from the Alchemy Sect. Instead, he told Lu Wenmei about the matter and asked Lu Wenmei to instruct the Lu family's first-level elixirs to refine the elixirs. Master refining.
The Lu family currently trains more than one first-level alchemist, among whom Lu Chengbai has the highest talent in alchemy.
Lu Chengbai's current cultivation level is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he is also a first-level mid-level alchemist.
Because Lu Chengbai was very talented in cultivation and alchemy, the Lu family invested a lot of resources in Lu Chengbai. This was also an important reason why his cultivation and alchemy skills improved so quickly.
This is the difference between monks from the cultivating forces and casual cultivators. When they are weak, casual cultivators still need their own strength to earn cultivation resources hard, which greatly consumes their time in cultivation.
Even if they are very talented in cultivation, they will eventually be worn down by time and gradually become mediocre.
The first-level elixirs Zhu Yan needs can be refined by Lu Chengbai, a first-level alchemist of the Lu family, so that they can hone their alchemy skills and save some resources at the same time.
Lu Chengan was very fast. He arrived at Danding Sect not long after he set off from Chiyan Mountain.
After he arrived at the Alchemy Sect, he did not enter the welcoming courtyard of the Alchemy Sect. Instead, he was taken directly into the Black Rock Peak where he was by Xu Shao.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, your progress in cultivation is really amazing. You have broken through to the middle stage of foundation building so quickly!" Xu Shao said in shock after leading Lu Chengan into Black Rock Peak.
“It’s just hard work!”
Lu Chengan smiled softly and said: “Fellow Daoist Xu’s cultivation is improving at a very fast pace, I’m afraid it won’t be long before he reaches the middle stage of foundation building!”< br>
Lu Chengan was not complimenting him, but he really felt the domineering aura exuded by Xu Shao.
If Xu Shao continues to practice hard for a while, his cultivation will not be far from breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building.
"It's very difficult to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. I'm afraid only you and Junior Sister Shi can break through to the middle stage of foundation building in such a short period of time!"
Xu Shao sighed lightly, and then looked at him with gossip. Looking at Lu Chengan, he asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lu, have you ever contacted Junior Sister Shi after you came out of the Qingling Secret Realm? Do you know that Junior Sister Shi has returned to the sect now?"
Xu Shao The junior sister Shi mentioned is Shi Ningyu, who previously led the Danding Sect monks into the Qingling Secret Realm. She is the granddaughter of Shi Mingxin, the leader of the Danding Sect.
The Foundation Establishment Pill that Lu Chengan used to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm was given to him by Shi Ningyu.
In addition to the Foundation Building Pill, Shi Ningyu also gave Lu Chengan a message jade plate.
Shi Ningyu originally said that when the Danding Sect refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would tell Lu Chengan the news through the jade plate.
It’s just that after Lu Chengan left the Danding Sect, the Danding Sect had already refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, and Lu Chengan didn’t see any news about the Jade Plate.
At that time, Lu Chengan felt that he and Shi Ningyu might have had a good impression of each other, but after such a long time, that good impression had long since dissipated with the passing of time.
Now that Lu Chengan suddenly heard Xu Shao mention Shi Ningyu returning to the Danding Sect, he felt a little dazed for a moment.
"Has Fellow Taoist Shi been traveling abroad all these years? I wonder how Fellow Daoist Shi is doing now?" Lu Chengan asked with a smile.
"Junior sister Shi is a person of great luck. She has been practicing in the ruins of an ancient sect these years!"
Xu Shao's eyes fell on Lu Chengan and continued: "That ancient sect The ruins contain the Nascent Soul level inheritance, and Junior Sister Shi is one of the inheritors of that Nascent Soul Level inheritance... I am going to tell Junior Sister Shi about the situation of Fellow Daoist Lu, but I don’t know what Fellow Daoist Lu thinks?”
When Xu Shao finished speaking, a solemn look appeared on his face.
The smile on Lu Chengan's face slowly faded. After he felt Xu Shao's emotional change, the expression on his face slowly became serious.
The original intention of his visit this time was to purchase some elixirs from the Alchemy Sect and to contact Xu Shao to establish a relationship. He did not expect to face such a choice.
But he knew very well that no matter what choice he made, Xu Shao would eventually tell Shi Ningyu about his situation.
But this is not a bad thing for him, after all, this is also a rare opportunity to form an elixir.
