The Karma of the Red Smoke Realm
"What a fine Lu Qingfeng!"
"This child is extraordinary. Given time, his future achievements will be limitless. The Sunset Glow Sect has such a prodigy—"
Yang Bufan suppressed his surprise and worry.
Without saying a word, he said loudly, "If Master Lu has the time, you are welcome to visit the Scarlet Rainbow Sect. Elder Jueming of our sect Jue Ming praises you and has long wanted to ask you for guidance on weapon crafting techniques."
Yang Bufan is indeed no ordinary person.
In front of so many people from the Sunset Glow Sect, they were about to poach someone from the sect right there and then.
"Elder Jue Ming?"
Lu Qingfeng felt a surge of satisfaction.
He knew this person; he was Second-Order Artifact Refiner from the Scarlet Rainbow Sect, and his reputation was quite renowned throughout the entire Gathering Cloud Mountains.
However, the Second-Rank Dharma Artifact crafted by Elder Jue Ming was not worthy of Lu Qingfeng's attention.
He was already a fourth-tier weapon refiner, but he only revealed his second-tier strength to avoid shocking the world. In the game, even fourth-tier and fifth-tier weapon refiners communicate with each other.
As an honored guest.
How could Jue Ming, a mere mediocre Second-Order Artifact Refiner, be qualified to discuss weapon refining techniques with Lu Qingfeng?!
"No problem, no problem."
Lu Qingfeng chuckled and didn't respond.
Seeing that Yang Bufan was still going to persist, Zhou Yuan stepped forward and laughed loudly, "Brother Yang is not being fair. He is blatantly poaching people in front of me. That's going too far."
"Brother Zhou, you are overthinking it."
Yang Bufan's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Lu Qingfeng and said, "However, if Master Lu is ever unhappy at the Sunset Glow Sect, he is welcome to come and stay at my Scarlet Rainbow Sect for a while."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng smiled but remained silent.
Seeing this, Yang Bufan turned around and continued talking to Zhou Yuan.
There are two days left until the Hundred Herbs Garden opens.
Lu Qingfeng was in no hurry. He entered the cave abode that the Sunset Glow Sect had opened up at Windhowl Cliff. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, actually cultivating within the game.
Three years and one month have passed in reality, and three hundred and eight years have passed in the game.
Because Lu Qingfeng needed to analyze and exchange Divine Ability Technique Method, and deduce and strengthen various methods, he remained at the Spirit Void Stage.
He is now 766 years old, and his time is not far off.
"Judging from the current situation, I won't be able to stay in the Chiyan Realm in the next life."
Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged atop the mountain, with the Seven Birds beside him, constantly calculating.
Every event in this world leaves a trace. As long as there are clues, divination can be used to clarify the situation and get to the root of the matter. If one is highly skilled in arithmetic, one can even glimpse a corner of the future based on the clues obtained through divination.
Looking back.
Observe the present.
Glimpsing the future.
All causes and effects, good and bad fortune, are contained within the reach of your fingertips.
Lu Qingfeng has cultivated the 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology' for hundreds of years. He dares not say that he can see the past and the future, but at least he can accurately predict seven or eight out of ten things concerning himself.
Several years ago, Lu Qingfeng, on a whim, cast a divination and discovered that an invisible net was spreading across the heavens and earth, contracting and enveloping him. Within the net, there were Divine Path and Immortal Dao auras, and several immortal mountains could be vaguely seen floating in the sea of clouds.
One of them was quite familiar.
"Luofu Mountain!"
Although Lu Qingfeng had never been there, he knew it was Luofu Mountain.
"In this life, I started from Fufeng Mountain, passed through Dongyu Country, and then lingered at the border of Yuanwu Country and Yue Country. I used my Divine Ability to slay the demon king Hunshan. I also refined pills and crafted weapons, leaving behind traces. In the Chiyan Realm, there are gods three feet above your head. It is not impossible that immortal sects such as Luofu Sword Sect could find out about it."
Lu Qingfeng's fingers flew, and wisps of Blood Qi mist enveloped his fingertips.
This is due to excessive mental exertion and forced calculation.
However, through this calculation, Lu Qingfeng saw the great net, the immortal mountain within it, and several other immortal gates. Suddenly, the Red Sand River appeared, and twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners fluttered in the wind, enveloping Zhouyun Mountain...
"So that's where the problem lies."
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, waved his hand, Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners stood before him. As soon as these twelve divine banners appeared, a strong sense of being watched immediately descended upon him.
"The methods of Immortal Dao are truly impossible to guard against."
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
He has possessed the Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners for over nine hundred years, and so far, he has only used it once, more than three hundred years ago, against the Demon King Hunshan, but ultimately he revealed his true colors.
The Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners is an eighth-tier Law Artifact.
With all twelve poles gathered together, it is comparable to Immortal Artifact.
Such a precious treasure is enough to suppress the immortal sects.
Not only have the two top immortal sects of Yuanwu Country not given up the search, but the immortal sects of Yue Country and Luofu Sword Sect of Dongyu Country are also investigating.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that Lu Qingfeng had a deep connection with the Luofu Sword Sect. Following the causal line, the Luofu Sword Sect made the fastest progress and was just one step away from figuring out Lu Qingfeng's background.
Following this line of inquiry, one could even thoroughly investigate the details of Lu Qingfeng's past lives.
"As expected, one cannot reincarnate frequently in one realm."
Lu Qingfeng felt the intense sense of being watched and couldn't help but shake his head.
It was his carelessness that led to this.
The Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners is an eighth-tier Law Artifact, the pinnacle of mortal power. The twelve banners combined form the Dutian Blazing Fire Immortal Formation, unleashing the full might of Tiangang Immortal Artifact Law Artifact. Knowing of its emergence, which top immortal sect in the Chiyan Realm wouldn't be tempted?
It was only a matter of time before they were found out.
"Although the Qi-Concealing Technique has some ability to conceal the secrets of heaven, its essence is ultimately just Initial-Grade Spell for concealing the aura of cultivation. Even if I were to extend it to the Transcendent Grade, it would still be difficult to stop the detection of top immortal sects."
Top-tier immortal sects are presided over by Mahayana True Immortal.
If Mahayana True Immortal were to use Transcendent Grade or even Divine Ability- level techniques to deduce, Lu Qingfeng would have nowhere to hide.
"Fine."
"The Chiyan Realm is filled with immortal sects, and although there are many fortuitous opportunity for creation, most of them are already taken. As a mere Rogue Cultivator, I have left many traces here, and in just over a thousand years, I have gone through five reincarnations. Even if the immortal sects have profound foundations, they will not easily let go of the great secrets once they know them."
"We should go sooner!"
Lu Qingfeng stood up, looked at the Twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
Eighth-order Law Artifact are extremely rare.
If not for a stroke of fortuitous opportunity, Lu Qingfeng would never have possessed it at this moment. Unfortunately, having decided to reincarnate outside the Chiyan Realm, he could no longer carry the Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners.
"If I were to join the Luofu Sword Sect and reveal my identity as the fourth incarnation, I might not necessarily face any calamity. However, there are still some issues."
"These twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners— "
With a wave of his sleeve, the divine flag fell into his Storage Bag.
Lu Qingfeng rose from the ground, and the seventh-tier Ironwing Flying Eagle among the Seven Birds beside him leaped into the air, carrying Lu Qingfeng and disappearing from sight.
Luofu Mountain.
This is a secluded, celestial mountain, the location of the Luofu Sword Sect's mountain gate.
This day.
On Still True Peak, the newly appointed Peak Master was cultivating. Suddenly, a streak of light flashed by, revealing itself halfway up the mountain, holding a Storage Bag in its hand.
Walk to the top of the mountain.
"Reporting to Master, a cultivator outside the mountain gate said that he had received your kindness in the past and has brought treasures to repay your kindness."
The newcomer was Core Formation True Person guarding the gate of Luofu Mountain. Upon seeing the middle-aged Daoist priest in white robes with a handsome face, he addressed him as "Master."
The master of Core Formation True Person, and also the master of a peak, is clearly at the Primordial Spirit Realm, a rare find in the world.
"Repaying a debt of gratitude?"
The Daoist opened his eyes and took the Storage Bag. The Storage Bag was protected by a simple protective barrier to prevent it from being opened.
The Daoist reached out and wiped away the restriction, but when he probed with his Divine Sense into the brow, it suddenly twitched.
