Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 170 - 161 Tearing 【Congratulations ’Fantasia’s Lonesome Cry’ on becoming the Hall Master of this book】

Lu Qingfeng was set on taking the elite path.

Zhang Bo and the other four had advanced to the True Qi Realm Fourth Level for over a year. Throughout that time, some have been diligently practicing their techniques, while others studying the arts of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and talisman crafting.

Each had their own strengths.

After gaining a preliminary mastery, feeling that cultivation in Upper Sun Country was slow, they finally decided to embark on the Longevity Trial.

"The demon beasts roam rampant in the Crying Swamp and the terrain is incredibly complex. To travel, survive, and cultivate within it, and to advance one's cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage is by no means an easy task."

"But since the Ancestor Master has set this trial, it certainly wouldn't be an impossible situation."

Xie Di spoke up, his eyes ablaze with the desire for battle, unable to wait any longer.

Although the other four tried hard to contain themselves, they ultimately couldn't hide their excitement and anticipation.

Once they passed the Longevity Trial, they would first become Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Furthermore, upon reaching the Cultivation World, they would have a chance at longevity and get to witness the vast and mysterious Cultivation World.

This was what truly sparked their longing.

The five of them arrived at the edge of the Crying Swamp, exchanged glances, took a step forward, and stepped into the Crying Swamp.

The Longevity Trial!

Onward, without fear of what lies ahead!

...

Somewhere in the mountains.

Inside a cave dwelling.

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged, with the image of Zhang Bo and the others stepping into the Crying Swamp before him.

"The first batch of disciples has finally started their trial. Next, Upper Sun Country will continuously send disciples into the Crying Swamp to commence the Longevity Trial. In at most ten to twenty years, some disciples will complete the trial, achieve Foundation Establishment, and enter the Cultivation World."

"I have at most ten years to prepare."

Lu Qingfeng rose to his feet, his gaze filled with contemplation.

There wasn't much he needed to prepare, but all of it was crucial.

Such as selecting the 'deployment' locations of disciples and investigating their general conditions.

Such as preparing various 'task rewards,' such as Elixir Pills, Magic Artifacts, talismans, etc., for the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, the most important and critical aspect was the Teleportation Array that would link all the disciples and facilitate the transfer of items.

"I have already begun to study the Teleportation Array. Transporting items alone is actually not that difficult."

Lu Qingfeng had been in the Changqing Realm for a full hundred years, excluding the sixteen years in the Rebirth Pool, that's over eighty years.

Throughout these years, Lu Qingfeng had done many things in the Changqing Realm, but his research into arrays never ceased.

Early on, he collected and refined incense fire from temples and Taoist temples all over the Central Plains, obtaining a massive amount of Heavenly Silver.

Apart from a small amount used for cultivation, the vast majority of the Heavenly Silver was used by Lu Qingfeng to comprehend Array Formation Restrictions.

Seventy to eighty years.

With the aid of Heavenly Silver, his prowess was comparable to that of an array expert who had studied for nearly a thousand years. Now proficient in restrictions, he had almost mastered various middle and low-level arrays.

He was currently beginning research on Teleportation Arrays.

Ten years in reality was equivalent to a thousand years in the game, enough time for Lu Qingfeng to completely master the Teleportation Array. However, at the same time, he needed to quickly gather various materials required for refining the Teleportation Array.

So as not to be caught off guard when the time came.

"Refining Crystal, Illusion Dream Stone, Purple Gold Copper."

Other materials for refining the Teleportation Array were easy to find, but these three were particularly precious. Lu Qingfeng did not need to refine a Teleportation Array capable of transporting people, nor did he need a large one. The amount of materials needed was not extensive.

If he could find a piece of Refining Crystal, a piece of Illusion Dream Stone, and a piece of Purple Gold Copper, he would be able to refine four or five sets of Teleportation Arrays.

The difficulty lay in the fact that these three materials were extremely hard to find.

Refining Crystal was a rare material stored inside the bellies of Alien Iron Fire Ants after they consumed ores, which could be used to reinforce Magic Artifacts and likewise to strengthen Teleportation Arrays, preventing damage to the Array Plate from spatial fluctuations.

The Illusion Dream Stone is produced in the land of illusions, imbued with a peculiar power, and possessed a dream-like quality that could connect two spaces, used for aiding in the Voids' positioning within arrays.

Compared to the other two, Purple Gold Copper was relatively common, only found within ordinary copper mines.

It may be impossible to find even a palm-sized piece of Purple Gold Copper among thousands of copper mines.

"Indeed."

"The strategy of casting a wide net is correct."

Lu Qingfeng felt a headache coming on, increasingly convinced that dispatching Qingyuan Sword Sect disciples all over the Three Mountains and Nine Waters cultivation world was the right strategy.

If there were three thousand disciples distributed everywhere, no matter how difficult the three materials were to find, if a task was issued with enough rewards, why worry about not finding them?

But for now, one must honestly do it oneself.

"First, let's ask the Luoxia Sect to inquire around. It would be best if we could buy them with Spirit Stones. If that's not possible, then we'll have to think of another method."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, walked out of his cave dwelling, and was about to rush to Jinyun Peak.

Suddenly his brows furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, a scene appeared before his eyes.

...

Three months passed.

The situation in the Juyun Mountain Range was increasingly chaotic, turning from dark struggles to open confrontation.

"They're insane!"

"Truly insane!"

"How dare the Red Rainbow Sect do this?!"

On the Bo Wang Platform of Jinyun Peak, Mei Qingyan was furious, her voice thunderous.

On the platform, Zhou Yuan, Yue Lingxi, and two Elders from Sui Jiu Peak and Zhou Chenggu were present.

As for Sui Hanshan—

"The Red Rainbow Sect brazenly attacked our Luoxia Sect's spirit stone veins, injured Elder Su, and slaughtered dozens of disciples. This is a declaration of war!"

Mei Qingyan's eyes spewed fire, furious to the extreme.

Just today, a thousand three hundred miles north of Jinyun Peak where the spirit stone veins were located, a group of cultivators suddenly appeared, killing all thirty-six disciples of the Luoxia Sect guarding the spirit stone veins. Sui Hanshan, along with Elders Yue Miaofa and Luo Yunsheng, outnumbered and overwhelmed.

Ultimately, Sui Hanshan managed to bring the two Elders back to Jinyun Peak despite his severe injuries.

At this moment, all three were seriously injured. While their lives were not in danger, the humiliation was hard to swallow.

The attacking cultivators had disguised themselves, but Sui Hanshan recognized that many of them used the magic of the Red Rainbow Sect's "Fire Refining Vault Secret Manual."

They barely covered their faces with a cloth veil before attacking, clearly making only a superficial effort and not afraid of the Luoxia Sect finding out.

"This matter—"

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly, "How does the Red Rainbow Sect dare to instigate a war against our Luoxia Sect, risking mutual destruction? Aren't they afraid of the Golden Wave Sect and Demon Extermination Castle reaping the benefits like a fisherman?"

"Yes."

"Yang Bufan should not be so unwise."

Yue Lingxi also had a look of confusion.

Hearing this, Mei Qingyan fell into contemplation.

Beside her, the anger on Sui Jiu Peak Elder's face had not subsided.

Supreme Elder Sui Hanshan was his grandfather, and he was more furious than anyone else about the severe injury. But he was able to suppress his anger and think more carefully, now having some thoughts.

"This time in the Hundred Herbs Garden, our sect monopolized the lower-level Spiritual Medicines. The Golden Wave Sect and Demon Extermination Castle only had some gains in the upper level, while the Red Rainbow Sect had none at all, in addition to losing four Foundation Establishment Elders."

"Moreover, the Three Sects also lost hundreds of Spirit Stones."

"With these batches of Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Stones, and with Elder Lu turning them into Spirit Pills and Magic Artifacts to expand the advantage, it can be foreseen that our Luoxia Sect will solidify its foundation in the next hundred years, quickly surpassing the Three Sects to become the number one great sect in the Juyun Mountain Range."

"Perhaps this time it's not that the Red Rainbow Sect acted unwisely, but the Three Sects joined forces to deal with our Luoxia Sect!"

Sui Jiu Peak's face was solemn, his analysis sharp and incisive.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan exchanged a glance with Yue Lingxi and Mei Qingyan, their expressions changing simultaneously—

"Silver Horn Mountain!"
