Five Sacred Mountains Sect, Seven Treasures of Bamboo Mountain!

"Junior Brother Feng has always been like this, Junior Brother Lu will get used to it."

Yan Pingshu shook his head and said to Lu Qingfeng.

"It's alright."

Lu Qingfeng didn't care.

He had lived through twelve lifetimes in the game, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death; he certainly carried the air of age, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him old-fashioned. Although Feng Bai's words were somewhat flippant, they meant no harm.

Lu Qingfeng wouldn't hold it against him.

Everyone has seen it.

Feather Immortal Pavilion presents delicious food and fine wine.

Such as the Cold-Lantern Fish and the Ice-Flesh Fish, as well as the top-quality wine of the Feather Immortal Pavilion, "Ascension-Soaring Immortal Wine".

The whole affair cost a considerable sum.

Lu Qingfeng has no shortage of Spirit Stone.

After three rounds of meals and five rounds of drinks,

Feng Bai, completely drunk, slurred, "I heard from Senior Brother Yan that Junior Brother Lu wants to collect some materials from Hall of Rare Treasures. My great-uncle oversees twenty-three markets, and all sorts of rare materials collected through these markets must pass through his hands. Junior Brother Lu, if you have any needs, just tell your great-uncle, don't be shy!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng turned to look at Feng Ping, who was grinning from ear to ear.

Feng Ping Bu Jian Zui laughed and said, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Although I am in charge of twenty-three markets, there are still requirements and assessments in the palace. I can give discounts on various materials, but for the most precious ones, the required Spirit Stone are considerable."

Compared to Feng Bai, Feng Ping was much more mature and composed, and did not speak too definitively.

"Of course."

Lu Qingfeng was delighted and said repeatedly, "I need quite a few materials, which are hard to find outside. I am already very grateful that Elder Feng can do me this favor."

With Feng Ping as a channel, it's as if the twenty-three markets in the west controlled by the Mystic Origin Sect are all helping Lu Qingfeng collect materials.

Not to mention the materials used to refine fourth- and Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact.

However, there is no need to worry about the source of materials below level three.

Also.

With the Feng Ping and Feng Bai lines, even if we need to refine Fourth-Rank Dharma Artifact- or Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact weapons, we might be able to obtain the materials from the Hall of Rare Treasures's inventory.

One of them was a powerful elder of the Hall of Rare Treasures, and the other was True Disciple the Hall of Rare Treasures.

The connections and power within Hall of Rare Treasures are far beyond what Lu Qingfeng can match.

Lu Qingfeng took out two pages of golden book from his bosom and handed them to Feng Ping, saying, "I'll trouble Elder Feng with these materials."

"No problem, no problem."

Feng Ping took the papers, glanced at them casually, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "It would take quite a few Spirit Stone to gather all of these together."

In Jin Yong's books.

In addition to the materials for refining the Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks, there are also materials for refining the Dust-Veiling Banner, the Great Geng Sword Formation, and various spiritual pills for the Foundation Establishment and Spirit Void stages.

Individually, they are of average value, but when put together, their value is astonishing.

Feng Ping was puzzled, so he went to look at the second page of the golden book. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I regret coming to the Feather Immortal Pavilion this time."

"Elder Feng, you flatter me."

"It would be best if we could gather all these materials, but it wouldn't matter if we couldn't. I really have no connections, so I'm relying entirely on Elder Feng."

Lu Qingfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute.

The second page of the golden book contains materials for refining the Luofu Heart Lamp, the Longevity Pill, and the High-Grade Violet Insect Bell.

The Golden Silkworm Gu is an unorthodox and Evil Method that requires various poisons. Since Lu Qingfeng and Feng Ping have just met, it is not advisable for him to collect them for the time being, so as not to ruin his impression.

The Luofu Heart Lamp, when its True Qi is gathered, can also exert its effects. However, after being refined into Law Artifact, its power is greater and more stable.

Among the materials needed to refine the Luofu Heart Lamp, Heavenly Orchid Thread, Ziyu Spirit Blood, and Evilheart Skyrock are extremely precious, no less valuable than the materials used to refine Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact.

Furthermore, the Longevity Pill goes without saying.

It is a sixth-order spiritual pill. Lu Qingfeng has the Revival Fruit, but he still needs a lot of fifth-order and sixth-order spirit medicine to refine the Longevity Pill.

Sixth-tier spirit medicine are currently impossible to collect.

Lu Qingfeng asked Feng Ping to collect fourth- and fifth-tier spirit medicine. He planned to gather a portion first, and then find a way to collect the sixth-tier spirit medicine later.

You can then directly refine Longevity Pill.

The High-Grade Violet Insect Bell is prepared for the subsequent breeding of Ironfire Ants.

More than three years have passed, and Lu Qingfeng can now sense that the two Ironfire Ants that flew out of the Sinkhole Mine Mountain to mate back then are heading back.

It won't be long before we return to the Sinkhole Mine Mountain.

Back then, lacking the necessary resources, I hastily crafted a low-grade Violet Insect Bell. Now that I've joined the Mystic Origin Sect, my aspirations are naturally higher.

"I had a meal at the Feather Immortal Pavilion, so I must do my best."

Feng Ping put away the two pages of the golden book without saying anything about whether it would be done, but Lu Qingfeng was still delighted.

Anyway, at least we've found a way.

From now on, alchemy and weapon crafting will be much easier.

The production of Yellow Dragon Pill has not yet reached a large scale, and it is not convenient to disclose this information to outsiders for the time being, which is why Lu Qingfeng did not mention it. However, now that Feng Ping has this channel, there is no worry about finding a market for these Yellow Dragon Pills.

Maybe it can even help Feng Ping.

This meal.

Everyone chatted happily.

Feng Bai, still tipsy, followed Feng Ping away. Once outside Gathering Immortals Island, a cold wind sobered him up considerably.

Feng Ping glanced at Feng Bai and said with a faint smile, "What do you think of this boy?"

"Belch!"

Feng Bai hiccuped and shook his head, saying, "He's too composed. It doesn't match the rumors of him beating up Zhou Su at the drop of a hat. He's even more mature and steady than Senior Brother Yan."

He has a free-spirited personality and doesn't like those who are too steady and rule-abiding.

"This young man is still very young, yet he has achieved such accomplishments, which is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators."

"According to the intelligence from the Hall of Gathering Heroes, when he was in the Gathering Cloud Mountains, he devoted himself to studying alchemy and weapon crafting and rarely went out. I thought he was just like some of the dull-witted people in the Hall of the Pill Convergence Hall and Artifact Refining Hall, but after meeting him today, I realized he is not simple."

Feng Ping spoke in a calm and even tone.

Seeing that Feng Ping was about to speak again, Feng Bai shook his head and nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Although I don't like this person's personality, I don't hate him either. If necessary, we can keep in touch."

"You!"

"I should really learn from him."

Feng Ping shook his head and smiled.

The grandfather and grandson sped straight into the depths of the Profound Origin Water Realm and disappeared.

Gathering Immortals Island.

Lu Qingfeng clasped his hands in thanks to Yan Pingshu and said, "Thank you for the introduction, Senior Brother."

"It was just a small favor."

Yan Pingshu waved his hand dismissively.

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

In any case, they finally made contact with Hall of Rare Treasures, and with an elder as powerful as Feng Ping.

Next.

Focus on managing Flying Cloud Island and refining Law Artifact and elixirs.

After parting Yan Pingshu, Lu Qingfeng arrived at 'Peak Rain Mountain'.

"Brother, did you enjoy the food and wine at the Feather Immortal Pavilion?" Lu Qingyu asked Lu Qingfeng as her brother returned, pursing her lips.

"Good."

"I'll take you to try it another day... tomorrow."

Lu Qingfeng glanced at Qingyu and said with a smile.

"Feather Immortal Pavilion's dishes and wines are notoriously extravagant, I'm not going," Lu Qingyu shook her head.

"You're now the 'number one spendthrift in the Mystic Origin Sect,' so it's really necessary for you to have a meal at the Feather Immortal Pavilion."

Lu Qingfeng said jokingly.

"My older brother is making fun of me."

Lu Qingyu glared at Lu Qingfeng.

"Ha ha!"

People are in high spirits when they have good news, Lu Qingfeng laughed heartily.

He himself didn't enjoy life, but since he had no shortage of Spirit Stone, there was no need for Qingyu to live the ascetic life of a cultivator with him. As long as it didn't affect his cultivation, he didn't need to avoid enjoying himself when it was time to do so.

The matter has been settled.

The next day.

Lu Qingfeng took Qingyu to the Feather Immortal Pavilion for a meal, then returned to Flying Cloud Island to manage the business and cultivate at the same time.

In terms of operations.

On Flying Cloud Island, two hundred Pill-Refining Apprentice, led by four Alchemists, are divided into four large alchemy chambers, specializing in the refining of Enhanced Yellow Dragon Pill. Although most of the island's resources have been reduced due to failing three assessments, the remaining small amount of medicinal herbs is enough to sustain them for several months, solely for refining the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Several months later.

Once Yellow Dragon Pill is sold, medicinal materials can naturally be purchased from outside.

This creates a virtuous cycle.

With Lu Qingfeng's recent return and the guidance and supervision of four Alchemists, Lu Qingfeng didn't need to worry about every little detail.

You can take time out to practice.

Daily cultivation doesn't take up much time; the main focus is on "Primordial World".

Shattered Star Sea.

Azure Vault Island.

This is the headquarters of the Five Peaks Sect, one of the three major unorthodox sects in the Bamboo Mountain Sea. The island is surrounded by a clear blue sky, hence the name Azure Vault Island).

The main hall for deliberation at the Five Peaks Sect Temple.

Several people sat down, with Black-and-White True Persons prominently among them.

"Did you see clearly? Is the person traveling with Sikong Qinglian really the Rain Mountain Pavilion?" An old man looked at Lei Yi and asked with a frown.

This man, dressed in a red robe, was named Wu Gong. He was the Supreme Elder of the Five Peaks Sect, and his cultivation and reputation far surpassed those of the Black-and-White True Persons and Sikong Qinglian.

He is truly the number one person in the Five Peaks Sect.

It ranks among the top three in the entire Bamboo Mountain Sea.

"There will be no mistake."

Lei Yi nodded firmly.

"The Rain Mountain Pavilion appeared on Yushan Island a hundred years ago. More than ten years ago, he was promoted to a fifth-level Alchemist and weapon refiner, and his reputation spread far and wide. His origins are mysterious, but his cultivation level is only at the Spirit Void Fusion."

"How did he manage to escape from Junior Brother Lei?"

Zhu Lingzi asked in surprise.

He is the Five Peaks Sect, on par with Lei Yi, Green Cloud True Person, and others. His cultivation has long since reached the Core Formation stage. He also wields the 'Nine-Six Cosmic Shuttle', which was refined by the ancestors of the Five Peaks Sect.

This treasure was continuously refined using the "True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks," passed down for thousands of years and through several generations. It was forged by the entire Five Peaks Sect heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and it has now reached the sixth level.

No matter how far apart they are, once this is done, it will immediately activate the Taiyin Astral Baleful Force, accumulated over millions of years in the Earth's core since the beginning of time, causing a powerful earthquake with its epicenter reaching thousands of miles away. It can be activated by a single thought, regardless of the distance. At that moment, volcanoes erupt, Blackwater gushing forth like mountains, and the Yin Qi from the Earth's core spews upwards along with the poisonous flames. The area within thousands of miles of the epicenter becomes a dead zone, wiping out all life; the poison is exceptionally potent.

It is one of the two most precious treasures of the Five Peaks Sect.

The other treasure is the Naraka Pearl, wielded by the Supreme Elder Wu Gong. It was originally one of the Seven Treasures of the Bamboo Mountain Sect, and is the most insidious, specializing in corrupting magical Law Treasure and flying swords, as well as breaking invisibility spells. It is on par with the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles in Sikong Qinglian's hands and the Five-Yang Sword in Lu Qingfeng's hands.

Zhu Lingzi, who was in charge of the Five Peaks Sect, had extensive knowledge of intelligence in the surrounding areas.

When Qing Yuanzi Rain Mountain Pavilion, first gained fame on Yushan Island, he had already taken notice of him. More than a decade ago, when the Rain Mountain Pavilion advanced to the fifth rank, he even sent people to congratulate him and try to win him over.

Unfortunately, the Rain Mountain Pavilion remained unmoved.

But how could a mere alchemist and artifact crafter with the cultivation level of Spirit Void escape Lei Yi's pursuit?!

"That's certainly true."

Green Cloud True Person spoke up from the side, "This boy's strength is by no means weak, and he is also proficient in water magic. He can disappear in an instant by diving into the sea."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lingzi fell into deep thought and remained silent.

"The Rain Mountain Pavilion is a fifth-level weapon refiner, so he must be proficient in formations. Sikong Qinglian brought the Rain Mountain Pavilion to infiltrate the territory of my Five Peaks Sect, which must be to break the formation outside the cave abode on the deserted island."

Wu Gong turned to look at the person on his left and asked, "Have you investigated thoroughly?"

Zhu Lingzi, Lei Yi also looked at this person.

This man had triangular eyes and a hooked nose, giving him a somewhat gloomy appearance. He wore a black robe and held a precious mirror in his hand; he was none other than the Flying Eagle True Man of the Five Mountains Sect.

The Flying Eagle True Person is skilled in enslaving eagles and birds of prey, and also has a rudimentary understanding of divination and prediction. The precious mirror he holds is called the 'Light-Returning Divine Mirror.' Although it has no combat ability, it is a wondrous treasure used to assist in divination and to rewind time.

Flying Eagle True Person's voice was somber, and he didn't say much, "Everyone, please watch."

As he spoke.

Holding the Light-Returning Divine Mirror, he shone it into the air, and on the deserted island, scenes from Sikong Qinglian and Lu Qingfeng's landing, their entry into the cave abode, breaking the formation, the conflict and struggle, and their escape after seizing the treasure were all vaguely visible.

Although their faces and figures were not clearly visible, Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles revealed Sikong Qinglian's identity. Furthermore, with the encounter Black-and-White True Persons, their identities became clear.

Everyone watched.

The scene disappeared only after Lu Qingfeng plunged into the sea and Sikong Qinglian fled the deserted island.

"It turns out there was no third person on the island; the one fighting Sikong Qinglian was actually this Rain Mountain Pavilion!"

Green Cloud True Person showed a hint of surprise on his face.

She and Lei Yi sensed the battle fluctuations from afar, initially thinking it was some True Person fighting against Sikong Qinglian, while Lu Qingfeng was merely an observer or on the same side as Sikong Qinglian.

Unexpectedly, the two ended up fighting each other.

As for why the two seemed to be on the same side when they went there, as if they were working together, it was probably the result of their negotiation after their fight in the cave abode.

"This Rain Mountain Pavilion— "

"His mastery of formations is profound; he can actually hold his own against Sikong Qinglian at the Spirit Void Fusion Realm. This boy's talent is simply astonishing!"

Zhu Lingzi also spoke up, her eyes showing amazement.

"The treasure in the cave abode, radiating five-yang light, should be the Five-Yang Sword, one of the Seven Treasures of Bamboo Mountain, now in the hands of the Rain Mountain Pavilion. As for the one hundred stone pillars—"

Wu Gong looked at Flying Eagle True Person, "Could you make it clearer?"

Although Lei Yi and Green Cloud True Person provided enough information, Flying Eagle True Person was able to deduce a relatively complete picture of what happened using the Light-Returning Divine Mirror.

But the image was so blurry that everything was just guesswork.

Like two hazy figures, if not for the Black-and-White True Persons seeing them, everyone could only deduce Sikong Qinglian's identity from Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, and could not figure out Lu Qingfeng's identity.

The Five-Yang Sword exudes a scorching aura and sparkles with precious light; anyone with knowledge can guess its identity at a glance.

But other scenes are extremely blurry and difficult to guess.

Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle True Person shook his head and said, "Sikong Qinglian is clearly wary of her junior disciple and is trying to smear the evidence. It's already difficult enough to trace the complete events; this is the best we can do."

His ability to trace the source of light is known to everyone in the Bamboo Mountain Sea.

Sikong Qinglian was no exception and had taken precautions. It was just bad luck that she ran into the hands of the Black-and-White True Persons; otherwise, if Sikong Qinglian had taken precautions and disrupted the tracing, even if Flying Eagle True Person had gone, it would have been difficult to trace the events so completely.

"Sikong Qinglian".

"That's definitely her personality."

Wu Gong shook his head.

Having dealt with Sikong Qinglian for many years, Wu Gong was quite familiar with this Yushan Island True Person wielded the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles.

But.

The hundred stone pillars that could cause Sikong Qinglian and Lu Qingfeng to turn against each other and then reconcile are certainly not simple. While the Five-Yang Sword is about 80-90% certain, the various speculations about the hundred stone pillars are unfounded.

A hint of regret appeared in Zhu Lingzi's eyes. "Of the seven treasures left behind by the Bamboo Mountain Sect, the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies is hidden in the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion. The other five treasures each have their own owners. Now that the Five Yang Five-Yang Sword has appeared, Six Treasures of Bamboo Mountain are gathered together, and the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion is about to be opened. It's a pity that the Five-Yang Sword was obtained by Yushan Island within the territory of my Five Peaks Sect."

Zhu Lingzi shook her head.

If they could obtain the Five-Yang Sword, their Five Peaks Sect would have an even greater advantage over the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion.

"The Naraka Pearl is in my hands."

"Within the Hundred Ghosts Gate lies Hundred-Ghost Yin-Locking Robe."

"The Hollow Bamboo Sect controls the Seven-Treasure Green Bamboo Staff."

"Although Yushan Island is a gathering place for Rogue Cultivator, it possesses the Five-Yang Sword, the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, and the Qianyan Fire Bamboo Sword."

Wu Gong calculated with his fingers.

The Six Treasures of Bamboo Mountain have each found their owners.

Once the Six Treasures of Bamboo Mountain are gathered, they can guide you to the location of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion and begin the inheritance of the Bamboo Mountain Sect.

"The Immortal Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion contains the Dutian Dark Nether Strategies, the most precious of the Seven Treasures of Bamboo Mountain. In addition, the four great array diagrams outside the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks are also in the Immortal Mansion. If we can collect them all, our Five Peaks Sect will surely become the number one immortal sect in the Bamboo Mountain Sea, and we may even be able to advance to the side sect in the near future!"

Lei Yi's eyes lit up; he was eager to see it.

Flying Eagle True Person squinted and said, "The Five-Yang Sword is in the hands of the Rain Mountain Pavilion. For some reason, Rain Mountain Pavilion and Sikong Qinglian are in cahoots, and he has probably already occupied the fourteenth position on Yushan Island. With his mastery of formations and water magic, it is unrealistic for him to seize the Five-Yang Sword. We should make preparations as soon as possible, summon the True Person is away to return, and discuss a plan for entering the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion."

Wu Gong and Zhu Lingzi exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

The first update, 4,600 words, rounded up, counts as a combined chapter.
