Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 273 - 256 Sixth Rank! [4000-word Mega - !]

Half a month ago.

Lu Qingfeng handed over two elixir recipes to Gu Bu Yan, then went to the Gathering Immortal Square to find Lu Qingyu, and together they returned to Juyun Mountain Range.

Three to four years ago, when departing from Luoxia Sect, taking care of the speed of the Curled Feather Pelican, it took a month and a half journey.

This time, when Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu returned, with Iron Feathered Flying Eagle and White Crane as means of transport, they arrived at the Juyun Mountain Range in less than a month.

Upon arrival, they didn't rush to Luoxia Sect immediately.

"Did big brother go to Crying Swamp to refine magical artifacts over the past half month?"

Lu Qingshan, holding two inch-sized small banners, curiously asked his elder brother.

"This treasure is called the Mist Banner and needs to capture the local qi to activate."

Lu Qingfeng pointed at the two small banners in Qingshan's hands, "One of these you're holding has captured the local qi near Xuanyuan Water Realm's Returning Mountain, once refined and activated, as long as it's within a hundred thousand li, you can instantly reach Returning Mountain. The other was taken from the eastern edge of Crying Swamp's mountain top, same principle."

The tenth generation obtained the Mist Banner in Sky Witch Realm, and now it is finally fashioned into reality.

Joining Xuanyuan Sect and connecting with Luo Zhen Hall, indeed it's good to lean on a big tree for shade.

Collecting materials for refining Third and Fourth Rank magic artifacts was ten times easier than when at Luoxia Sect.

The Mist Banner refined by Lu Qingfeng, though a Fourth-rank Magical Artifact, required only materials for a Third-rank Magical Artifact thanks to strengthening by Derivation Technique.

Elder Feng Ping, with just a bit of attention, helped Lu Qingfeng gather quite a lot.

Over this past half-year, Lu Qingfeng continuously refined, total creating seven banners, three siblings each having two, capturing the local qi of Xuanyuan Water Realm's Returning Mountain and the Juyun Mountain Range side of Crying Swamp.

Thus,

If there's danger, stimulate the Mist Banner, and one can flee tens of thousands of li instantly. Even if a Jiedan True Man, without targeted treasures, cannot intercept.

This was personally verified by Lu Qingfeng in the Five Directions Realm.

Not facing Core Formation, with a Fourth-rank Mist Banner in hand, it is akin to being in an undying zone.

His ability to preserve life greatly increased.

"Such a precious treasure!"

Lu Qingshan, holding the Mist Banner, his eyes gleaming.

Hearing big brother's explanation, how could he not know the preciousness of the Mist Banner?

Besides fleeing, the Mist Banner is also a top-notch defensive artifact. The strongest in the entire Luoxia Sect is only a Second-Rank Magical Artifact, but the Mist Banner is Fourth Rank, yet not much in the eyes of Lu Qingfeng and "Primordial".

But for Lu Qingshan, for the region of Juyun Mountain Range, it is a top-notch artifact, an ultimate secret treasure!

Lu Qingyu, off to the side, raised the two Mist Banners in her hands, "The Mist Banner makes travel convenient, using it once only needs two to three months, three to five spirit stones to recover. Traveling between Xuanyuan Water Realm and Crying Swamp is but a thought away."

"I will definitely often visit you in Xuanyuan Water Realm."

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"I didn't mean that. But if you want to visit, once every year or two is fine, any more is too wasteful of spirit stones," Lu Qingyu pursed her lips.

"Alright."

Lu Qingshan responded.

Lu Qingfeng looked at Qingshan, seeing him looking more robust, couldn't help but step forward and patted his shoulder, "Xuanyuan Sect and White Bone Demon Sect's big battle is imminent, Juyun Mountain Range won't be peaceful either. You being alone in Luoxia Sect, be more cautious."

"I know, big brother."

Lu Qingshan nodded. He had also felt this these few days, and he didn't dare to be careless.

"I heard from the Sect Master that you are close with Feng White and two others. These three are at True Qi Ninth Layer, on the verge of Foundation Establishment. Here's a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills and two bottles of Vibrant Sun Pills, handle them as you see fit." Lu Qingfeng took out three Jade Bottles, handing them to Lu Qingshan.

"Big brother—"

Lu Qingshan looked at his big brother.

"It's good for you to venture outside, but your big brother here is an Alchemist, and now even the True Inheritor of Combined Pill Hall of Xuanyuan Sect, holding back on a few elixir pills is nonsense."

Lu Qingfeng, impatient, threw the three Jade Bottles to Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan hurriedly caught them, "Thank you, big brother."

Independence is harmless.

Overcorrecting is unacceptable.

"Mm."

Lu Qingfeng saw this and nodded, smiling.

Having just returned to Luoxia Sect, Loose Cultivators from all directions, and sects from four directions heard the news and came to pay homage. Just any true inheritor of Luoxia Sect naturally wouldn't have such an influence. But Lu Qingfeng himself was a Third-rank Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, now returning to Luoxia Sect, a rare opportunity to mingle, how could these people miss out.

Batch after batch came and went, revealing Lu Qingfeng's influence undisguised.

Associatedly many cultivators of Luoxia Sect also shared in the glory.

Lu Qingfeng met with each one, and also spoke with Sect Master Zhou Yuan, and the three Spirit Void Independent Practitioners stationed at Luoxia Sect, Dong Liu, Zhu Ye, Luo Han for a while.

Not until moments ago did he get a chance to meet with Lu Qingshan at Peack Rain Mountain.

Three siblings sat together and had a good long talk.

The next day early morning, Lu Qingshan left, and Lu Qingyu also started wandering around. It's been a long time since she returned to Juyun Mountain Range and couldn't help wanting to have a look everywhere.

Lu Qingfeng then went to Sky Pit Mine.

...

"Iron Fire Ant."

At Sky Pit Mine, the Array Formation Restriction set by Lu Qingfeng at the beginning was still in place.

In the underground caverns below, extensive throughout, lay two weak Iron Fire Ants, resting on the ground. Around them were numerous rice-sized eggs, glinting with a dark lustre.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng return, the two Iron Fire Ants slightly trembled their antennas.

"Seventy-two eggs."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Lu Qingfeng meticulously counted them, nodding with satisfaction.

Iron Fire Ant laying, typically hovering between twenty to fifty eggs. The two Iron Fire Ants together produced seventy-two eggs, considered a high yield.

Carefully nurturing them, in ten years the count could reach thousands. Not only continuously producing Refining Crystals but also could act as a trump card.

"Done!"

Lu Qingfeng performed a hand seal, a Purple Bell flew out from his sleeve, expanding with the wind, fell into the air above the cave. Purple light scattered down, completely engulfing both the Iron Fire Ants and their eggs.
