Keeping a Low Profile

His entire body shimmered with a faint metallic sheen. His flesh had been forged through countless trials, resulting in Iron-Forged Body.

This is "Iron Refining Body".

On Lu Qingfeng's chest, a demon god with a beast's head and a human body, covered in red scales, with fire snakes piercing its ears and riding on fire dragons, emerged. With a whoosh, the wind rose, carrying thoughts into the demon god's mouth.

Even the wisps of black smoke emanating from Lu Qingfeng's body were swallowed by the demon god.

The demon god's face showed satisfaction, and the flames on his body grew even hotter.

This is the "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method". This demon god is one of the Twelve Demon Gods that Lu Qingfeng refined - the Zhurong Demon God.

Boom boom boom!

Cultivation Method was activated, the internal True Qi within the body continuously increased, and the medicinal power of the Qi-Gathering Pill was rapidly refined.

The three Cultivation Method are practiced simultaneously and operate in unison under the principle of 'Dominion over All Arts', without any conflict.

The only drawback is the high consumption of elixirs.

"Ordinary cultivators at the Sixth Layer True Qi Realm often spend three to five days, or even ten to fifteen Half Moon, focusing on refining a top-grade pill like the Qi-Gathering Pill. This is to ensure they fully absorb the medicinal power and to carefully deal with any potential toxicity."

"But for me, operating three top-tier Cultivation Method simultaneously makes refining the medicinal power easy. Top-tier Cultivation Method also have methods to remove the poison from pills. For example, the chilling Sword Qi of the Luofu Sword Canon. The demon gods refined by the Twelve Dutian Demon God Method Technique can even feed on pill poison, using the pill poison that is hated by both humans and ghosts to increase their own strength."

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes and exhaled a wisp of white Sword Qi, three feet long.

It immediately vanished into the air and disappeared.

Time passed.

Lu Qingfeng moves between reality and the game.

Cultivating oneself in reality.

The Luofu Sword Canon is a sword cultivation method that produces a fierce and powerful True Qi.

It's a pity that Lu Qingfeng hasn't advanced to the Foundation Establishment yet; otherwise, if he could refine the Luofu Heart Lamp, his cultivation speed would be even faster.

"Iron Refining Body" is a pure Body Refining Cultivation Method, commonly known as the method to achieve physical sainthood. Once mastered, even cultivators of the same or higher level will find it difficult to harm one's physical body. Flying swords and Technique Method landing on the body are like tickles. One is impervious to Armed Conflict and unaffected by water or fire, making it extremely powerful.

The "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method" is divided into three parts Body Refinement, three parts qi refinement, and the final four parts spirit refinement. Circulating the Cultivation Method and visualizing demon gods, once cultivated, gathers the thoughts of all the heavenly demon gods, creating the greatest disturbance. If one stays on Brocade Cloud Mountain, it is easily discovered by Foundation Establishment elders or the Spirit Void Stage sect leader Zhou Yuan.

Once you come to Silver Horn Mountain, you won't have these concerns and can cultivate freely.

In terms of games.

Lu Qingfeng explored the second layer of the Evolving Method's analytical function. While traveling around to hone his skills, he also searched for various pills, Law Artifact, and even the corpses of Demon Beast and spirit beasts.

Although most of the methods analyzed were useless, there were still considerable gains over time.

As for alchemy and weapon crafting, they put those aside.

Fourth-Order Pill-and-Artifact Refiner is more than enough for Lu Qingfeng at the Foundation Establishment and even Spirit Void levels.

However, this doesn't mean I won't touch it at all. Rather, it's not like in my previous lives, where all I did besides cultivation was alchemy and weapon crafting.

Instead of frantically improving his alchemy and artifact crafting skills, he focused on refining the pills and Law Artifact needed for his own cultivation in the game, spending the rest of his time traveling and gaining experience.

Game time flies by.

Although Lu Qingfeng travels around, he is meticulous in his dealings, avoids trouble, and adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile.

This is even more true in reality.

Once he entered the Sunset Glow Sect, he stayed in Silver Horn Mountain and never left the mountain.

This behavior surprised even the elders and the sect leader of the Sunset Glow Sect. Ordinary young cultivators would not have the patience to sit in a mountain cave abode for so long.

Spiritual practice is important, but it can also be a tedious affair.

Going out for a walk is essential for calming the mind.

This balance of tension and relaxation is beneficial to spiritual practice. Younger practitioners, however, are often impatient.

But Lu Qingfeng was completely different.

Only when elders of the Sunset Glow Sect travel to Silver Horn Mountain to make connections can they meet this newly promoted guest elder. At other times, even for matters involving pills, spirit medicine, Law Artifact, and refining materials, Lu Qingfeng is nowhere to be seen; instead, Wang Yuan, the steward of the Silver Horn Mountain Garden, handles them.

The lowly butler's status suddenly rose dramatically.

Lu Qingfeng keeps a low profile.

But Lu Qingfeng's name from Silver Horn Mountain gradually spread throughout the Sunset Glow Sect—

First, the sect announced that Lu Qingfeng, a guest elder, was cultivating at Silver Horn Mountain.

Then, a small number of high-quality pills produced by Silver Horn Mountain appeared in the sect, followed by pills and Law Artifact of various levels as mission rewards in sect missions.

Whether it's elixirs or Law Artifact, their quality far surpasses that of others of the same level, offering the best value for money and making them highly sought after.

More and more disciples and elders are heading to Silver Horn Mountain seeking Lu Qingfeng to refine magical Law Artifact and pills for them. Lu Qingfeng's prices are fair, comparable to the only two First-Order Alchemists and one First-Order Artifact Refiner in the Sunset Glow Sect.

We will neither overcharge nor offend our fellow practitioners.

Besides using the pills themselves, some of the pills they refined were also sold through the markets controlled by the Sunset Glow Sect to Rogue Cultivator near the Gathering Cloud Mountains, in order to earn cultivation resources.

Cultivation resources refer to more than just medicinal herbs for alchemy. They also include Spirit Stone and various materials for refining artifacts.

The Spider Puppet remained in the Weeping Marsh to mine various minerals and Spirit Stone. However, Spirit Stone were hard to find, so Lu Qingfeng had fifty Spider Puppet, which freely searched the deserted Weeping Marsh.

Over the course of more than seven years, only fifty-three Spirit Stone have been mined in total.

It was pure luck.

The same applies to various materials.

Low-level materials are easy to find, but the demand is high, making it extremely uneconomical to mine them using Spider Puppet. Mid- to high-level materials are scarce and incomplete in variety. Lu Qingfeng has mastered the crafting methods for sixteen types of puppets, and even the weakest of them, after enhancement, are Foundation Establishment level puppets. However, before leaving the Weeping Marsh and entering the Gathering Cloud Mountains, the strongest puppet he could craft was only Fifth-Level Mysterious Sword Puppet.

Stronger Dharma Form, Myriad Forms Puppet, or even Tiger Demon Puppet cannot be crafted due to insufficient materials.

Now that they have settled in the Sunset Glow Sect, they can begin collecting and refining the missing materials. Although Lu Qingfeng is extremely strong at the moment, if he has a Spirit Void level Tiger Demon Puppet or even ten Tiger Demon Puppet by his side, he will have nothing to fear in the entire Gathering Cloud Mountains.

Although the Sunset Glow Sect treated him fairly well, in reality, life is only once. Entrusting Life and Death and safety to a small sect one has just encountered is clearly not as reliable as strengthening oneself and preparing more trump cards.

Aside from elixirs and puppets.

Lu Qingfeng is also collecting materials in preparation for refining the Seven Baleful Banner.

The Seven Baleful Banner was originally First-Rank Dharma Artifact, but after enhancement, it can rival Second-Rank Dharma Artifact. Once the Seven Baleful Evil Ghosts are forged, it will be invincible within the Foundation Establishment Realm. Whether for killing enemies or for self-defense, it is a first-rate Law Artifact.

Ordinary cultivators cannot achieve this quickly, but Lu Qingfeng, after collecting Incense Offerings and refining Heavenly Silver in Shangyang Country, can rapidly enhance the strength of the Seven Baleful Evil Ghosts, maximizing the power of the Law Artifact.

This is a shortcut to quickly convert Incense Offerings into combat power.

Speaking of Incense Offerings...

Before leaving Shangyang Country, Lu Qingfeng only managed to forge three statues of the ancestor due to limited materials, which were enshrined in the Founders' Hall of the Azure Origin Sword Sect.
