The Four Hall Masters!

"That's how it should be."

Upon hearing this, Hanging Mirror Wanderer was delighted and smiled, saying, "I am also going to stay on Gathering Immortals Island for a while, and I will inevitably have to trouble Master Lu in the future."

"That's excellent."

"Of course, we should visit each other frequently."

Lu Qingfeng understood Hanging Mirror Wanderer's thoughts, but did not reveal them, and nodded in agreement.

The auction has just ended.

Hanging Mirror Wanderer and Dong Liu each took the pills and Law Artifact, thanked him repeatedly, and then took their leave.

Inside the cave abode.

After the two figures disappeared, Zhou Yuan smiled at Lu Qingfeng and said, "I didn't expect Elder Lu to have such profound skills in weapon crafting. Even I am extremely Heart Movement by that Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield. Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing and the other fellow Daoists who were watching that day must be kicking themselves now."

Same day.

Dong Liu asked Lu Qingfeng to refine the weapon, while other Spirit Void Cultivator such as Hanging Mirror Wanderer watched from the sidelines.

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng had forged the Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield, his weapon-forging skills far surpassing those of ordinary Third-Order Artifact Refiner. These people who wanted to seek Lu Qingfeng's help to forge magical Law Artifact would now have to wait their turn.

"It is only natural for fellow Daoists to observe and wait as Lu has just advanced to the third level."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled. Although he understood, his cultivation time was already tight, and he probably had even less time to spare to forge weapons for these people.

Make them wait one or two years, or even three to five years.

The effort put into it was far less than that of Dong Liu's Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield.

Before leaving, Hanging Mirror Wanderer inquired about when Lu Qingfeng would leave Gathering Immortals Market, so that he could find Lu Qingfeng to refine magical Law Artifact.

After the Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield that Lu Qingfeng had crafted for Dong Liu spread to a small circle.

Gradually, many people came to Lu Qingfeng's door asking him to refine magical Law Artifact.

This day.

Elder Deng Zhuo of the Ice Jade Sect walked out of Cloudrise Mountain with an unhappy expression.

"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, having only been fortunate enough to advance to the Third-Order Artifact Refiner, has already become arrogant."

"I'd like to see when you die!"

Deng Zhuo was in a bad mood.

The Ice Jade Sect, located in the Frostwater Marshes, is one of the three sects and four factions. The Frostwater Marshes is adjacent to the Gathering Cloud Mountains, which is why Deng Zhuo also has knowledge of the Gathering Cloud Mountains and the Sunset Glow Sect.

It's a sect with only one Spirit Void Cultivator in charge.

Although the Ice Jade Sect has no Core Formation True Person, it has been operating for thousands of years, with several Spirit Void Cultivator presiding over it in each generation.

Their strength far surpasses that of the Sunset Glow Sect.

Deng Zhuo was one of the Spirit Void Cultivator of the Ice Jade Sect.

Today he came to Cloudrise Mountain, hoping to find Lu Qingfeng to refine a Third-Rank Dharma Artifact for him.

But Lu Qingfeng rejected her.

Although Master Lu's words were tactful, Deng Zhuo was still somewhat displeased.

The Sunset Glow Sect is far inferior to the Ice Jade Sect.

Even if Lu Qingfeng had become Third-Order Artifact Refiner, how dare he offend him?

Deng Zhuo remained outwardly silent, smiling as he took his leave, but inwardly he was quite dissatisfied. "The Gathering Cloud Mountains suffered a major upheaval a few days ago; of the Four Gathering Cloud Sects, only the Sunset Glow Sect remains. If—"

Before he could finish thinking, a group of people came down from the mountain.

The two leading figures both had completely white hair; one had the face of a child, while the other was truly old. Beside them were two other cultivators.

One of them was wearing a dragon robe, was burly, and had an upright appearance.

The other man was more refined and had a mustache.

Upon seeing this, Deng Zhuo was startled and quickly stepped forward to greet them with clasped hands, saying, "Deng Zhuo of the Ice Jade Sect greets Master Wen and Master Kou, and greets the two seniors."

"Um."

The two nodded slightly and then ignored Deng Zhuo, treating him like a stranger.

The two old men didn't even acknowledge him.

Deng Zhuo quickly stepped aside, and as he passed by, he heard the rather decaying old man say, "The Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield is nothing! You didn't see the Heavenheart Pill that kid refined. Layer upon layer of illusions, creating an environment conducive to Heart Demon. Taking one Heavenheart Pill increases the chances of Spirit Void Cultivator passing through the Heart Movement stage and undergoing the Heart-Demon Tribulation by at least 50%!"

As soon as the words were spoken, an old man spoke up—

"Senior brother is being unreasonable."

"It's not just the Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield, there's also the Three Powers Huoyun Ring sent to the Artifact Refining Hall..."

Deng Zhuo stood at the foot of the mountain, watching the four people go up the mountain, his heart filled with turmoil.

"Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield!"

"They came all this way for Lu Qingfeng!"

"The arrival of Wen Zhong, the head of the Hall of Gathering Heroes, and Kou Xuanqi, the head of the Hall of Rare Treasures, along with those two elders, suggests that the two heads of the Mystic Origin Sect are showing such respect. Could it be that—"

Deng Zhuo's pupils contracted slightly, and the thought that had only been halfway through his mind vanished instantly.

We hurried down the mountain, not daring to linger.

Cave abode No. 13.

As Zhou Yuan watched Deng Zhuo descend the mountain, he turned to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Deng Zhuo of the Ice Jade Sect has always been badly regarded. Elder Lu's refusal this time will surely cause him resentment, given his personality."

The Gathering Cloud Mountains are adjacent to the Frostwater Marshes.

Zhou Yuan knew Deng Zhuo well, as he was Spirit Void Cultivator among the three sects and four factions of Frostwater Marshes. Although Deng Zhuo's face showed no unusual expression just now, Zhou Yuan could detect a trace of resentment.

"It's alright."

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand.

In recent days, he has made friends with various independent Rogue Cultivator. Although he has refused many cultivators who came to him asking for alchemy and artifact refining services, he has also accepted a few requests. He is not completely ruthless.

Cultivators like Deng Zhuo are ultimately a minority.

Most of them were still thinking about befriending and getting along well with Lu Qingfeng, thinking there would be opportunities in the future.

Therefore.

Even if Deng Zhuo was dissatisfied, his means of dealing with Lu Qingfeng were extremely limited.

Lu Qingfeng was not afraid.

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng didn't care, Zhou Yuan stopped talking, only thinking that he would keep an eye on Lu Qingfeng in the future.

Then, seeing that Lu Qingfeng was about to cultivate again, Zhou Yuan seized the opportunity and said, "Elder Lu has to refine Law Artifact and pills for several Spirit Void and can't leave for the time being. However, the chaos in the Gathering Cloud Mountains has just been settled and Sunset Glow Sect is not yet stable. I plan to return to the Gathering Cloud Mountains in the next two days."

"Metropolitan."

Lu Qingfeng opened his mouth, about to say something.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "This trip is all thanks to Elder Lu, and it was only because Fellow Spirit Void gave me face. On this return trip, three fellow Daoists will be with me. We will be staying in the Gathering Cloud Mountains for a while, and the Sunset Glow Sect is not a threat for the time being. Elder Lu can rest assured to stay in Gathering Immortals Market for a while longer. Cultivators gather here, and making friends from all directions will not only benefit Elder Lu's future cultivation, but my Sunset Glow Sect can also benefit from it."

Zhou Yuan's visit to Gathering Immortals Market this time—

Firstly, to accompany Lu Qingfeng.

Secondly, he wanted to find Spirit Void Cultivator to help him take charge of the Sunset Glow Sect.

I wasn't very confident about achieving the second goal.

He spent a long time in the Gathering Cloud Mountains, managing the Sunset Glow Sect, and had no close friends outside; most of his acquaintances were just casual acquaintances.

Zhou Yuan had good friends he could talk to in places like Gathering Immortals Market, but he wasn't sure he could persuade them to go to a remote place like Gathering Cloud Mountains.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingfeng just happened to advance to the third rank.

With the influence of Third-Order Alchemist and weapon refiner, Zhou Yuan easily found three Spirit Void Cultivator willing to go to the Gathering Cloud Mountains.

Among these three was Dong Liu.

Including Dong Liu, his relationship with the three of them was merely so-so. Their willingness to go to the Gathering Cloud Mountains was, of course, because of Lu Qingfeng.

Zhou Yuan made this statement.

Lu Qingfeng looked at Zhou Yuan and said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you here any longer, Sect Master. My younger brother, Qingshan, will need your continued care. Please keep Peak Rain Mountain and Sinkhole Mine Mountain for me and look after them as well."

"If Elder Lu doesn't say, I already know."

Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, his somewhat disappointed mood instantly lifted.

When Lu Qingfeng mentioned Lu Qingfeng, Feng Yunshan, and the Sinkhole Mine Mountain, Zhou Yuan understood his intentions perfectly. His disappointment vanished, replaced by a lighter feeling.

At this moment—

Someone arrived outside the cave abode.

"Wang Hui?"

Zhou Yuan looked at Lu Qingfeng after hearing the newcomer introduce himself.

"It's finally here."

Lu Qingfeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, flicked his fingers, and with a flick of his sleeve, a cloud of dust fell from the cuff.

He called out to Zhou Yuan and strode out of the cave abode.

Outside the cave abode.

Wang Hui, the steward of Cloudrise Mountain, stood respectfully in a corner. Upon seeing Lu Qingfeng emerge, he quickly greeted him, "Master Lu."

"Manager Wang."

Lu Qingfeng nodded to Wang Hui.

During his stay at Cloudrise Mountain, Lu Qingfeng had met Wang Hui several times. Wang Hui had once introduced a Spirit Void Cultivator to Lu Qingfeng seeking alchemy and weapon crafting skills.

Outsider.

People like Dong Liu and even Zhou Yuan thought that Lu Qingfeng had only refined one Third-Rank Dharma Artifact, the 'Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield', but they didn't know that the person Lu Qingfeng introduced to Wang Hui had also refined a Third-Rank Dharma Artifact and a bottle of third-tier spiritual pills.

The Third-Rank Dharma Artifact is the Three Powers Huoyun Ring, crafted with a level of care no less than the Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield. The Heavenheart Pill Formula has been enhanced five times, making it a third-tier spiritual pill with miraculous effects on cultivators in the Heart Movement stage, far more precious than the Baleful Reversal Pill.

He was no stranger to Wang Hui.

Beside Wang Hui.

There were four people standing there, one of whom Lu Qingfeng recognized.

"Junior Lu Qingfeng greets Master Kou and the three seniors."

Lu Qingfeng bowed respectfully to the four people.

One of them was none other than Hall of Rare Treasures presided over the Mystic Origin Auction.

Kou Xuan.

"Zhou Yuan of Luoxia Sect greets Master Wen and Master Kou, and greets the two seniors."

Zhou Yuan, standing beside him, also bowed respectfully.

Although he was the leader of a sect and Spirit Void Cultivator, Kou Xuan and this Venerable Master Wen were both Core Formation True Person, holding highly respected positions.

"Master Wen—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at the refined middle-aged man and guessed his background.

Mystic Origin Sect.

The master of Hall of Gathering Heroes - Wen Zhong.

This person was of a higher generation than Kou Xuan, and was also Core Formation True Person. And the two elderly men who could be accompanied by these two and treated as inferiors—

No need for formalities.

Before Wen Zhong and Kou Xuan could speak, an old man with a very old and frail appearance interrupted.

He stepped forward, stood in front of Lu Qingfeng, and looked him over. His face was full of wrinkles, but he smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You can tell at a glance that you are a good candidate for alchemy. I am Gu Buyan, the Hall Master of the Mystic Origin Sect Pill Convergence Hall. I have come to Cloudrise Mountain today to guide you into my Pill Convergence Hall. I wonder if you are willing, young friend?"

Gu Buyan, the master of the Pill Convergence Hall!

Another Mystic Origin Sect!

Zhou Yuan was slightly startled and quickly paid his respects.

Gu Buyan his hand, staring only at Lu Qingfeng.

Before Lu Qingfeng could reply, another old man stepped forward and said in a strong voice, "Senior brother, don't be impatient. Although your alchemy skills are not bad, the Three Powers Huoyun Ring and the Five-Qi Luo Smoke Shield are both top-grade Third-Rank Dharma Artifact and should be included in my Artifact Refining Hall."

As he spoke, the old man looked at Lu Qingfeng and said in a very loud but friendly tone, "I am Gai Yunshan, the Hall Master of the Mystic Origin Sect Artifact Refining Hall of the Xuan Yuan Sect. I wonder if you would be willing to join my Artifact Refining Hall, young friend?"

Pill Convergence Hall!

The Artifact Refining Hall!

"Elder Lu seems so confident; could he be waiting at Cloudrise Mountain for something else—?"

Zhou Yuan was startled as he looked at the two old men and the two leaders of the Mystic Origin Sect personally trying to win him over, even with the air of trying to snatch him away.

Thinking about Lu Qingfeng's demeanor these past few days, she was even more surprised.
