Chapter 264: Transaction with Ghosts

Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen were delayed for several months in going to Yuanzhou to get water. During this period, there was still no rain in the territory of Huanggu Sect, and the drought in the Lu family became more serious.

More and more ordinary people died because of the drought.

Therefore, after returning to the family, Lu Chengan did not waste time. He directly used the Lu family mountain gate as the center and began to cast spells to take the water from the Qinghe Cup to bring rain.

The Qinghe Cup was filled with almost the water of an entire river. After Lu Chengan cast a spell, the water from the Qinghe Cup condensed into clouds in the sky.

As more and more water condensed into clouds, water droplets condensed in the thick clouds and continued to fall on the dry ground.

The cultivators of the Lu family knew that the rain was condensed by Lu Chengan's spell, and they were not surprised.

But when the range of rainfall continued to expand and the rain fell on those ordinary people, it immediately made those ordinary people crazy.

It has been nearly five years since the ancient sect had a drop of rain. If it weren't for the help of the cultivators, who knows how many ordinary people would be left.

But even so, many ordinary people still died in the drought.

Now that the rain has fallen, these ordinary people have seen the hope of life. How could they not be excited!

Lu Chengan controlled the clouds and urged the Qinghe Cup to rain in the Lu family's territory. This process was relatively slow.

Not only could he not pour the water from the Qinghe Cup directly, but he needed to let it condense into rain and fall down.

It took Lu Chengan nearly a month to turn all the water in the Qinghe Cup into rain and fall down.

Originally, he thought that the water from one cup was enough for the Lu family's needs, but he still underestimated the extent of the drought. This cup of river water was only enough for the area where ordinary people lived.

The area outside the ordinary life was still in a state of drought.

This situation made Lu Chengan feel a little heavy, because according to the current situation, at least two cups of water were needed to completely solve the drought in the Lu family.

This is because the territory occupied by the Lu family is relatively small. If the occupied area is larger, more water will be needed.

After Lu Chengan released all the water stored in the Qinghe Cup, he asked the monks of the Lu family to help the ordinary people in the territory to farm.

It has not rained in the territory of Huanggu Sect for many years, and the stored grain is basically running out.

Now Lu Chengan uses the Qinghe Cup to bring rain. Although the drought in the Lu family has not been completely solved, these water sources are enough for ordinary people to farm.

Next, he will go to Yuanzhou to get water. At that time, the grains planted by the ordinary people will mature quickly with the help of the monks of the Lu family.

After Lu Chengan explained to Lu Wenxing, he sent a message to Liu Miaozhen, and then rushed directly to the direction of Jinyuan Sect.

Geng Qiuhuai had sent a message to Lu Chengan a few days ago, asking when to go to Yuanzhou to get water.

Now Kong Liyun has successfully refined the remaining Qinghe Cup.

During this period, Jinyuan Sect and Linggu Sect worked together to collect materials for refining Qinghe Cup. During this water collection period, Kong Liyun will continue to refine Qinghe Cup.

Because Geng Qiuhuai learned from Liu Miaozhen that the journey from Qingzhou to Yuanzhou was not smooth, and they must be led by Lu Chengan to arrive in Yuanzhou smoothly.

Now the Lu family has taken a cup of water. When the drought in the Lu family is resolved, Lu Chengan is very likely to no longer accompany them to Yuanzhou to collect water.

To be on the safe side, it is better for them to refine one more Qinghe Cup.

Of course, this is also because the drought in Jinyuan Sect is very serious.

Jinyuan Sect has suffered serious losses due to the invasion of Tianhuang Zhenren. Now coupled with the drought, whether it is ordinary people or low-level cultivators in the territory, the current situation is extremely difficult.

Coupled with the evil cultivators who appear from time to time in the territory of Shengxin Sect, this is very likely to cause unrest.

Now it is only the Jindan cultivators of Jinyuan Sect who are suppressing it, but Geng Qiuhuai does not know how long they can suppress it.

If the situation of ordinary people and low-level cultivators in the territory cannot be improved, even these Jindan cultivators may not be able to control it.

In addition to collecting materials for refining Qinghezhan, Jinyuan Sect and Linggu Sect are also collecting spiritual objects such as Sun Star Sand that Lu Chengan asked them to help find, and they are more concerned than collecting materials for refining Qinghezhan.

Jinyuan Sect and Linggu Sect have a deep foundation and are connected with the Jindan sects in Huanggu Sect. Even the Jindan cultivators in Huanggu Sect can talk to them.

Although materials such as Sun Star Sand are relatively rare, Jinyuan Sect and Linggu Sect worked together to collect all those materials after spending a month.

When Lu Chengan arrived at Jinyuan Sect, Liu Miaozhen was already waiting for Lu Chengan in Jinyuan Sect.

"Daoyou Lu, these are the materials such as Sun Star Sand that you need. Do you see if these materials meet your requirements?" Geng Qiuhuai asked with a smile.

After Lu Chengan arrived, the three of them exchanged a few simple greetings, and Geng Qiuhuai took out the materials such as the Sun Star Sand.

These materials were collected by Ling Gu Sect and Jin Yuan Sect, and now Geng Qiuhuai and Liu Miaozhen put them together for Lu Chengan to examine.

"There is nothing wrong with these materials. I wonder how the two Taoists plan to trade these materials?" Lu Chengan asked with a smile.

The materials such as the Sun Star Sand were prepared for Heisha and his son, and he had no special requirements for the quality of these materials.

But Geng Qiuhuai and Liu Miaozhen were very concerned about this matter. The materials they collected were of high quality and would definitely satisfy Heisha and his son.

"Daoyou Lu is too polite. How can we exchange with you!"

"Daoyou Lu has helped our two sects too much. These materials are given to Daoyou Lu by us!"

Liu Miaozhen and Geng Qiuhuai spoke at the same time, refusing to accept Lu Chengan's exchange method and actively giving these materials to Lu Chengan.

As for the reason, as they said, they felt that Lu Chengan helped their two sects too much, especially in the matter of Qinghezhan.

They have already seen the ability of Qinghezhan. Next, they only need to make two more trips to Yuanzhou to solve the drought in the territory.

And this still requires Lu Chengan's help, otherwise with the strength of their two sects, they may not even be able to cross the Netherworld River Region.

In addition, the value of materials such as Sun Star Sand is not particularly high, and they are jointly borne by their two sects.

Geng Qiuhuai and Liu Miaozhen were determined to give the gift, and Lu Chengan finally accepted it after several refusals.

However, Lu Chengan had already decided in his heart that he would try to supply the two sects from other sources in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Geng, give me the Qinghe Cup, and you don't have to go to Yuanzhou with us!"

"The Netherworld River is too dangerous. Fellow Daoist Liu and I have the Netherworld Soul Card as a cover. If you go with us, the risk of exposure will increase!" Lu Chengan said.

Of course, this is just Lu Chengan's excuse. Even if Geng Qiuhuai has the Netherworld Soul Card, he will not take him to Yuanzhou to fetch water.

The fewer people know about his relationship with Heisha and his son, the better.

The cultivators in Qingzhou and other immortal cultivation worlds do not have a good impression of the Netherworld ghosts in the Netherworld River. If it is not necessary, he does not want to expose his relationship with Heisha and his son.

"I agree with Daoist Lu's proposal. Daoist Geng should not go. There are too many ghosts in the Netherworld River. Once we are exposed, it will be difficult to escape from the Netherworld River!" Liu Miaozhen said with a serious face.

Liu Miaozhen did not think that she was helping Lu Chengan to lie. This was her true inner thoughts.

She knew that Lu Chengan and Heisha had reached a cooperation, but there was more than one force in the Netherworld River, and Heisha's force was the weakest.

If they were discovered by ghosts such as Luo Sheng and Zi Ying, even Heisha's father and son could not protect them.

"Then I'll trouble you two Daoists!" Geng Qiuhuai said with a smile.

He did not have any particularly strong desire to go to Yuanzhou, as long as Lu Chengan and the others could help them get water for Jinyuan Sect.

After Lu Chengan and the other two agreed, Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen left Jinyuan Sect and rushed towards Yuanzhou.

Before going to Yuanzhou, Lu Chengan communicated with Heisha and his son in advance. When they arrived at the Black Nether Wasteland, Qingluo was already waiting for Lu Chengan and his son in the Black Nether Wasteland.

Qingluo was originally severely injured by Lu Chengan, but after he joined Heisha and his son, he was given healing treasures by Heisha and his son. Now his injuries have been completely recovered.

After he received Lu Chengan and his son in the Black Nether Wasteland, he took them to the underwater mansion of Heisha and his son.

Heisha has lived in the Nether River for many years and has his own forces in the Nether River, although his forces are the weakest among the five forces in the Nether River.

But with him as a cover, he can easily let Lu Chengan and his son travel freely in the Nether River.

This time, Lu Chengan went to Heisha's underwater mansion. The main purpose was to hand over materials such as the Sun Star Sand to Heisha and his son, and at the same time exchange them for treasures such as the Soul Washing Grass and the Black Evil Fruit from Heisha and his son.

This deal was agreed upon before. After Lu Chengan handed over the materials such as the Sun Star Sand to the Heisha father and son, they immediately handed over the prepared Soul Cleansing Fruit to Lu Chengan.

After that, Lu Chengan did not stay in the underwater mansion of the Heisha father and son for long. Under the escort of the Green Snail, they quickly left the Netherworld River and rushed towards Yuanzhou.

"I have taken too much water from this river, and it has not recovered yet. Let's look deeper into Yuanzhou!" Lu Chengan said.

The first river they encountered was the river where they had taken water before. This river is located on the edge of Yuanzhou and the water volume is still very abundant.

However, Lu Chengan extracted too much water, resulting in the water volume of this river not being restored.

Moreover, this time they brought three Qinghe Cups, and the amount of water required was three times that of the previous one, and this river was not enough at all.

"Then listen to Fellow Daoist Lu. Anyway, Yuanzhou has extremely abundant water resources. We will definitely be able to find water sources to fill these three Qinghe Cups!" Liu Miaozhen said with a smile.

As they talked, they left the river and continued to rush into the depths of Yuanzhou.

After the two of them rushed about a thousand miles, the water vapor in the space became more dense, and dense rain was falling between heaven and earth.

The earth was full of surging fine water flows, and it was obvious that this heavy rain had lasted for quite some time.

The original rivers and lakes were now filled with rainwater, and some not-so-sturdy houses were directly destroyed by the water flow.

"We have been dry in Qingzhou for several years, and now there is a flood in Yuanzhou!"

After seeing this scene, Liu Miaozhen couldn't help but sighed lightly. It would be great if the rain in Yuanzhou could fall to Qingzhou.

"The rules of heaven and earth are like this, and you and I can't change it!"

Lu Chengan smiled softly and said, "The rain here is a disaster, which is just right for us to collect water sources. Let's go to the river a hundred miles away!"

There is a raging river a hundred miles away, which is wider than the one they encountered before.

Because of the flood, the water in this river is also more abundant.

The raging water flow overflowed directly from the river channel and rushed forward.

A moment later, Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen appeared above the river. They each offered a Qinghe cup and began to collect the raging water in the river below.

The two Qinghe cups were collected at the same time, and the speed was extremely fast.

The water that originally overflowed the river channel instantly dropped below the river channel, and the water volume was still decreasing rapidly.

When Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen filled the Qinghe cups they offered, the water flow in the river channel had become very small, almost revealing the river bottom that was washed very clean by the river water.

After that, Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen quickly left and looked for other places suitable for collecting water sources.

The area was in trouble due to rainfall, and Lu Chengan and the others found a lake on the verge of collapse not long after.

The amount of water accumulated in the lake is even greater. After Lu Chengan filled the last Qinghe Cup, the amount of water in the lake did not seem to decrease much.

Now there is still a long and continuous flow of water into the lake. The water source originally extracted by Lu Chengan will soon be filled with new water, and the lake is still in danger of collapse.

But Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen did not waste time. They extracted water sources one after another, which may have attracted the attention of the monks in Yuanzhou.

Now they don’t want to have any contact with the monks in Yuanzhou.

After Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen filled all the three Qinghe Cups they carried, they rushed directly to the direction of the Netherworld River.

After the two left, many monks gathered around the river where they were before.

However, the cultivation bases of these monks are all in the foundation-building realm, and there are no monks in the Jindan realm.

This is because although Lu Chengan and the others are about to drain the river, they only collect ordinary water sources, which will not attract the attention of the Jindan monks in the Yuanzhou cultivation world.

Lu Chengan and Liu Miaozhen did not encounter any trouble on their way back. Under the guidance of Qingluo, they quickly left the area of ​​the Nether River.

After Liu Miaozhen returned to Linggu Sect, Lu Chengan took two Qinghe Cups to Jinyuan Sect first. After he handed over the Qinghe Cup filled with water to Jinyuan Sect, he took the remaining Qinghe Cup back to the family.

Because Lu Chengan had used the water from the Qinghe Cup to bring rain to the Lu family, the situation has improved a lot now. (End of this chapter)
