Chapter 226: Refining Magical Treasures and Going to Ling Gu Sect
Lingyuan Valley and Blood Essence Rice are both very famous spiritual plants, but in the Qingzhou Xiuxian World and Hezhou Xiuxian World, these two spiritual plants have become extinct.
The effect of Blood Essence Rice is better than that of Lingyuan Valley, and Lingyuan Valley can only grow to the third level at most, while Blood Essence Rice has a great possibility of becoming a fourth-level or even a fifth-level spiritual plant.
It can be said that if the Lu family can successfully obtain Blood Essence Rice, it will really create a foundation for the ages!
It has been nearly a hundred years since Linggu Sect discovered that there is a spiritual plant such as Blood Essence Rice in the ruins of Wanling Sect.
However, there is a group of green-horned antelopes living in the ruins of Wanling Sect. The strength of that group of green-horned antelopes is extremely powerful. There are at least four third-level green-horned antelopes in the herd, and the sheep king is a third-level perfect realm monster.
The green-horned antelope is an extremely common monster, and the probability of this monster breaking through to the third level is very low.
The fact that so many green-horned antelopes in the ruins of Wanling Sect have broken through to the third level has a lot to do with the blood-essence rice in the ruins.
It is unknown how long the group of green-horned antelopes have lived in the ruins of the Wanling Sect. They have eaten too much blood essence rice, which has caused the blood in their bodies to mutate.
This is also an important reason why so many third-level monsters were born among the group of green-horned antelopes.
The third-level green-horned antelopes have survived the transformation thunder tribulation and their spiritual wisdom has been greatly opened.
They once walked out of the ruins of the Wanling Sect, but after learning about the situation outside, they returned to the ruins of the Wanling Sect and rarely came out of the ruins of the Wanling Sect.
This is because they have heard about the preciousness of blood essence rice. Once the cultivators outside know that there is blood essence rice in the ruins of the Wanling Sect, they will definitely rush to snatch it.
The green-horned antelopes who opened the blood shackles by taking blood essence rice will definitely not have a good end.
They may even be captured for research, which may be more painful than being exterminated!
Ling Gu Sect was able to discover the existence of Wan Ling Sect's ruins because a Jindan cultivator from Ling Gu Sect encountered a third-level green-horned antelope that came out of Wan Ling Sect's ruins decades ago.
He also discovered the special features of this third-level green-horned antelope, so he left a Gu worm on the body of the third-level green-horned antelope.
Ling Gu Sect's Gu worms are extremely mysterious, and the third-level green-horned antelope did not discover the existence of the Gu worms on its body.
The Jindan cultivator from Ling Gu Sect also used the Gu worms to detect the existence of precious spiritual plants such as blood essence rice in Wan Ling Sect's ruins.
After that, the Jindan cultivator from Ling Gu Sect immediately passed the news back to Ling Gu Sect, and Liu Miaozhen went to investigate in person.
However, Liu Miaozhen soon discovered that there was a third-level top-quality green-horned antelope in Wan Ling Sect's ruins. Her cultivation level was only in the late Jindan stage, and she could not be the opponent of the third-level top-quality green-horned antelope.
For this reason, Ling Gu Sect could only suppress the news temporarily and prepare to slowly plot.
And this wait lasted nearly a hundred years.
Until now, Liu Miaozhen saw some hope. If she could use Lu Chengan's power to kill the third-grade jade silkworm Gu in the secret realm of Ling Gu Sect, the life spirit Gu in Liu Miaozhen's body would be able to devour the power of the jade silkworm Gu, and then Liu Miaozhen's cultivation would be able to successfully break through to the Golden Core Perfection Realm.
Not only that, Ling Gu Sect can also use this to cultivate more cultivators in the Golden Core Realm.
If they use Lu Chengan's power again, they will be able to kill all the green-horned antelopes in the ruins of Wan Ling Sect.
Ling Gu Sect never thought of reporting this news to Huang Gu Sect.
Because the spiritual plant of blood essence rice is too rare, if Huang Gu Sect gets this spiritual plant, it will definitely not be willing to share it with their Ling Gu Sect.
In order to seal this secret, it is even possible to kill the cultivators who know this secret!
Lu Chengping quickly told Liu Miaozhen the news according to Lu Chengan's intention.
It was almost what Lu Chengan thought. After knowing the conditions proposed by Lu Chengan, Liu Miaozhen quickly agreed.
This is because the conditions proposed by Lu Chengan were not harsh. He just asked Ling Gu Sect to give priority to cultivating Lu Chengping's two Taoist companions with the spiritual objects of Jindan obtained in the secret realm.
The two sisters He Huan and He Ying were cultivators cultivated by Ling Gu Sect since childhood. Ling Gu Sect naturally would not suspect that the two sisters He Huan would harbor evil intentions towards Ling Gu Sect.
Moreover, they had originally planned to cultivate the two sisters He Huan. After all, the two sisters had good cultivation talents.
Therefore, the conditions proposed by Lu Chengan were not conditions at all in Liu Miaozhen's view, because this was also one of their original plans.
Liu Miaozhen immediately gave Lu Chengan a reply, indicating that she agreed to Lu Chengan's request, and asked Lu Chengan when he could go to Ling Gu Sect.
Lu Chengan's cultivation had just broken through to the middle stage of Jindan not long ago, so he did not plan to go to Ling Gu Sect now.
He wanted to upgrade the grades of the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan to the third-grade middle grade, and at the same time refine the Fire Cloud Gourd into a magic weapon before talking about it.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu made preparations when they were in the Poison Swamp Immortal City. At that time, they collected materials to upgrade their life magic weapons to the third-level middle-grade.
Now Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu have enough materials to upgrade magic weapons such as the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell to the third-level middle-grade.
Lu Chengan can start refining now. It won’t take long to upgrade the grade of the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan to the third-level middle-grade.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu got a total of two third-level middle-grade Fire Cloud Gourds in the Burning Flame Sect ruins. If these two Fire Cloud Gourds are refined into magic tools, they can only be refined into third-level middle-grade magic tools.
The power of the Fire Cloud Gourd is naturally not as good as that of the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and other magic weapons, but the reason why Lu Chengan still spent energy to refine the Fire Cloud Gourd into a magic weapon is because the Fire Cloud Gourd is a special magic weapon.
The gourd naturally breeds eight strands of Fire Cloud Essence. If it is successfully refined into a magic weapon, this magic weapon basically does not need to be activated, and it can release the Fire Cloud Sword attack. The effect is more like a talisman, and it is a talisman that can be recycled.
It is precisely because the Fire Cloud Gourd has such an effect that Lu Chengan wants to refine it into a magic weapon.
After Lu Chengan asked Lu Chengping to tell Liu Miaozhen what he meant, he went directly into his cave and began to sacrifice the two magic weapons, the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan.
The stronger the soul of the cultivator, the more powerful the power of consciousness, and it will be easier to refine magic weapons and elixirs.
Lu Chengan's soul was originally stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. He practiced the two soul secrets of Xuyang Zhuanghun and Dari Refining Soul in the foundation building realm, and now his soul is even stronger.
Although he is now in the middle stage of Jindan, his soul is stronger than some cultivators in the perfect stage of Jindan.
This makes it easier for him to refine magic tools.
Lu Chengan is very familiar with the two magic weapons, the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan. He has also studied the methods to improve the grades of these two magic weapons.
After spending more than half a month, he upgraded the grade of the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell to the third-level middle grade, and then took this magic weapon into his body for warming.
Then he began to sacrifice the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan!
Although the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan is not Lu Chengan's life magic weapon, after the magic weapon was successfully refined, Lu Chengan used the treasure-incubating technique to put it into the third-level spiritual vein of the underground magma river for more than ten years.
Now the power of the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan has also increased a lot, which makes it easier for Lu Chengan to upgrade its grade to the third-grade middle grade.
The Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan is more difficult to refine than the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell. It took Lu Chengan a month to upgrade the grade of the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan to the third-grade middle grade.
This time, Lu Chengan did not send the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan into the third-grade spiritual vein of the underground magma river for nourishment. If he and the Jindan cultivators of the Linggu Sect enter the secret realm of the Linggu Sect next, these two magic weapons will definitely be needed.
After that, Lu Chengan just took a short rest and began to refine the Fire Cloud Gourd without stopping.
Compared with the two magic weapons, the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan, the difficulty of refining the Fire Cloud Gourd is simpler.
However, this magic weapon was refined for the first time after all, and the grade was still the third-grade middle grade. Lu Chengan also spent nearly two months to completely refine the Fire Cloud Gourd successfully.
In the cave, Lu Chengan put away all the supplies used to refine the magic weapon, and then he opened his five fingers. A gourd with a fiery red body and cloud patterns quietly floated in his palm.
This gourd is the Fire Cloud Gourd, which has been refined by Lu Chengan into a third-level medium-grade magic weapon.
Lu Chengan released his spiritual power and carefully checked the Fire Cloud Gourd.
It may be that he and the Fire Cloud Gourd have a relatively good match in attributes, so it was very smooth when refining this magic weapon, and the quality of the Fire Cloud Gourd finally refined was also very good.
"Eight Fire Cloud Magic Swords, if these eight Fire Cloud Magic Swords are released at the same time, they can threaten the cultivators in the late Jindan period!"
Lu Chengan showed a satisfied look on his face, and then put away the Fire Cloud Gourd.
The Fire Cloud Magic Sword in the Fire Cloud Gourd is not a real magic sword, but a gas like the Fire Cloud True Qi.
However, this gas was refined by Lu Chengan, and a lot of third-level materials were added. Although it still maintains the gas state, the power contained in it is by no means comparable to the previous Huoyun Qi.
It took Lu Chengan nearly half a year to refine the magic weapon and the magic tool. After he successfully refined the Huoyun Gourd, he did not delay any more time. After he came out of the cave, he took Lu Chengping and his Taoist companions to leave the Lu family and rush to the Linggu Sect.
The Linggu Sect is tens of thousands of miles away from the Lu family. After Lu Chengan successfully cultivated the Star Flame Hidden Escape Technique, his speed was several times higher than before.
Even with Lu Chengping and his Taoist companions, his speed was still very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the Linggu Sect.
"Daoyou Lu is indeed extraordinary!"
After Liu Miaozhen knew that Lu Chengan was about to arrive at the Linggu Sect, she led the Jindan cultivators of the Linggu Sect to wait for Lu Chengan's arrival, giving Lu Chengan great respect.
The Jindan cultivators of Linggu Sect had only heard of Lu Chengan's name, and had never seen him before.
Now after meeting Lu Chengan, they realized that the information they had inquired about before was not false, and Lu Chengan's strength might be stronger than what they had inquired about.
"I am Liu Miaozhen, the leader of Linggu Sect. Fellow Daoist Lu, please follow me into the sect, and we will talk about entering the secret realm in detail!"
Liu Miaozhen smiled and took Lu Chengan into the welcoming peak of Linggu Sect.
The welcoming peak of Linggu Sect is built outside the mountain gate like the welcoming courtyard of Danding Sect.
The reason for such a layout is that it can prevent outsiders from spying on the situation inside the sect, and it also gives a sense of security to foreign cultivators entering the sect.
After all, the place where the mountain gate of the cultivation forces is located is arranged with many formations. If you are trapped in it, it is difficult to get out smoothly.
After Liu Miaozhen led Lu Chengan into Yingke Peak, she didn't say much nonsense and directly talked about entering the secret realm of the Spirit Gu Sect to kill the Jade Silkworm Gu and other third-level spiritual Gu.
"That secret realm is the place where our Spirit Gu Sect cultivates spirit Gu. However, there was a mistake in the sect hundreds of years ago and the existence of the Jade Silkworm Gu was not discovered. As a result, the cultivation level of this Gu worm directly reached the third level of high grade... …”
Liu Miaozhen first introduced the situation of the secret realm to Lu Chengan in detail, focusing on the third-level jade silkworm Gu.
The Jade Silkworm Gu is a Gu worm bred by the Secret Realm Sect. It has grown to the third level of high quality silently, and its strength is comparable to that of a monk in the late Golden Core stage.
At that time, the Spiritual Gu Sect also had late-stage Jindan monks. At that time, the late-stage Jindan monk led the Jindan monks from the Spiritual Gu Sect to attack the third-level high-grade Jade Silkworm Gu, but did not kill it. It hits hard.
However, the Spiritual Gu Sect also suffered heavy losses. At that time, the late-stage Jindan monk from the Spiritual Gu Sect was already quite old.
Although she severely injured the Jade Silkworm Gu, she also fell into the Jade Silkworm Gu's plan, and was eventually eaten directly by the Jade Silkworm Gu.
After that, the Jade Silkworm Gu disappeared in the secret realm for more than three hundred years. Originally, the Golden Elixir monks from the Spirit Gu Sect thought that the Jade Silkworm Gu had died. However, more than three hundred years later, the Golden Elixir monks from the Spirit Gu Sect appeared again. The scent of jade silkworm Gu was detected in the secret realm.
Not only did the Jade Silkworm Gu not die, but it also broke through and became a third-level top-grade Gu.
At that time, Liu Miaozhen's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core, but she was still no match for the third-level top-grade Jade Silkworm Gu.
After many attempts by the Spiritual Gu Sect, they found that monks at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment realms would not be attacked by the Jade Silkworm Gu when they entered the secret realm. The Jade Silkworm Gu would only appear if the Golden Elixir monks entered the secret realm.
However, only Jindan monks can enter and obtain some of the Gu insects that are extremely important to the Spirit Gu Sect bred in the secret realm.
This includes the Yuan Ming Gu that assists the monks of the Spirit Gu Sect to break through the Golden Core realm!
Because of this, the strength of the Spirit Gu Sect has also been greatly affected.
Now hundreds of years have passed since the Jade Silkworm Gu broke through to the third level. Liu Miaozhen was worried that the Jade Silkworm Gu's cultivation would break through again, so she wanted to kill it as soon as possible.
The appearance of Lu Chengping was an opportunity. Even without Lu Chengping and Lu Chengan, Liu Miaozhen would have invited other golden elixir monks to take action and jointly kill the third-level top-grade Jade Silkworm Gu.
