Abandonment of the Dutian Demon Flame! Revert to Root, Return to Origin!

Abandoned Mountain.

The Azure Dragon River.

Lu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, the river breeze brushing his face, biting cold, making his long hair fly wildly.

"Garbage Star".

According to the information obtained through the "Heaven-Hearing Earth-Seeing Great Method", Lu Qingfeng knew that this star was called the "Garbage Star" and also known as the "Artifact Graveyard".

No one within a radius of several dozen miles knows exactly how big the Garbage Star is.

The origin of the Garbage Star is unknown, dating back countless years, and the origin of the first humans on the Garbage Star is also unknown.

This appears to be an abandoned planet.

The Spiritual Qi is thin, allowing only the most basic cultivation. Similar to the middle section of the Weeping Marsh, reaching the Foundation Establishment Qi Guiding Foundation Establishment Liquid Condensation stages is not a problem. Further advancement requires the aid of elixirs or Spirit Stone.

Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level was limited, and he was unable to explore further territories.

All that is known is the location of its arrival, which is within a radius of several dozen miles of the Treasure-Gathering Mountain area.

Treasure-Gathering Mountain resembled both a mountain and a city, gathering tens of thousands of people within a radius of fifty or sixty miles. Lin Feng and Lin Ye's parents originally ran a rice shop in Treasure-Gathering Mountain, but unfortunately, their fields were destroyed, and the siblings' parents perished in the jaws of wild beasts, their remains never found.

Only the brother and sister remained, relying on each other for survival.

Unable to make a living on Treasure-Gathering Mountain, Lin Feng sold his rice shop and moved to Skeleton Mountain, more than 30 miles northwest of Treasure-Gathering Mountain. It was the closest to the Abandoned Mountain, and as long as he was willing to risk his life, he could always find some useful ironware or fragments of Law Artifact artifacts in the Artifact Graveyard.

It was through risking his life that Lin Feng was able to support himself and his sister.

Further west from Skeleton Mountain lies Lu Qingfeng's current location. Every ten years, a large number of discarded magical Law Artifact pour down from the heavens, forming what is known as the Abandoned Mountain.

The Azure Dragon River rushes down, dividing the Abandoned Mountain into two banks.

Skeleton Mountain and Treasure-Gathering Mountain are both on the South Bank.

"Beneath the mountains and beside the water."

"Great place!"

Standing on the Azure Dragon River, Lu Qingfeng gazed at the mighty river and listened to its roaring waters, feeling a sense of exhilaration. Behind him lay an Abandoned Mountain, where large trees and green bamboos grew tenaciously, along with vines and weeds that sprouted from cracks in the rocks and metal.

The vines even twined around rocks and metal.

One month ago.

When the ten-year period came to an end, a large number of discarded Law Artifact and scrap metal poured down, burying the greenery that had grown for ten years, yet revealing a touch of newness.

"With so many discarded magical Law Artifact, the new Divine Ability will come in handy."

"With the Yangtze River at our backs, we can also select shrimp and crabs and raise Water-Element Dao Soldiers!"

Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged by the river, holding fragments of Law Artifact in his hand.

This curved iron piece resembled a corner of a shield. It contained residual spiritual energy and even a complete talisman. Lin Feng was guided by the Spirit-Sniffing Mouse- Spirit-Sniffing Mouse, which sensed the residual spiritual energy within these Law Artifacts to determine their value.

However, even if this piece of iron were intact, it would only be Second-Rank Dharma Artifact. Now that it's broken, not only are its uses limited, but its power is also reduced, probably even inferior to a high-tier Talisman Artifact.

Lu Qingfeng didn't think much of it.

Lu Qingfeng tossed the iron sheet into the air, made a hand seal, and with a 'bang,' a ball of flame appeared in the air, enveloping the iron sheet.

It kept burning.

The iron sheet gradually melted.

About fifteen minutes later.

A few slag remnants and a few piles of molten iron separated.

The slag was scattered all over the ground, but Lu Qingfeng ignored it. Several piles of molten iron fell from the sky, quickly condensing upon encountering the moist air and settling on the ground.

Lu Qingfeng casually picked up a piece of silvery-white iron, which looked like an iron ingot.

[Material: Silver Essence]

[Note: This is a material for Law Artifact, refined from pure silver by cultivators using true fire.]

"The Dutian Demon Flame, Revert to Root, Return to Origin, is truly remarkable!"

Lu Qingfeng's face lit up with joy.

The discarded magical Law Artifact, stretching for over a hundred miles and covering dozens of mountain peaks, were enough to extract countless materials to support his early cultivation.

[Divine Ability: Dutian Demon Flame]

Grade: Common

[Note: This weapon is derived from the analysis and enhancement of the Twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners. It can melt all things in heaven and earth, revealing their true nature and Revert to Root, Return to Origin. Its demonic flames are overwhelming, capable of turning an entire realm into nothingness.]

The Dutian Demon Flame!

This was derived from the twelve Dutian Blazing Fire Divine Banners in the Chiyan Realm. Before his death in the Five Directions Realm, Lu Qingfeng strengthened them to the level of Divine Ability, making them increasingly powerful and mysterious.

Extraordinary Divine Ability.

Even many top immortal sects in the lower realms cannot obtain it.

Lu Qingfeng possesses twenty-four Divine Ability, each with immense potential waiting to be explored and unearthed.

The Dutian Demon Flame was originally Transcendent-Grade Spell, and after being upgraded to Divine Ability, its level was sublimated, becoming even more wondrous.

Separating the various materials from the melted-down magical Law Artifact is one of the manifestations of the "Revert to Root, Return to Origin" of the Dutian Demon Flame.

For Lu Qingfeng at present, the benefits are considerable.

With a thought, Lu Qingfeng extinguished the Dutian Demon Flame in the air. The Zhurong Demon God burst forth from his body and charged straight towards the Artifact Graveyard. His entire body was engulfed in flames, which were none Dutian Demon Flame.

"The Zhurong Demon God wields the Zhurong Divine Flame and the Dutian Blazing Fire, which share the same origin as the Dutian Demon Flame. It is not difficult to unleash the Dutian Demon Flame."

"In this way."

"We have no worries about refining materials, Supreme Dao soldiers. Only spirit medicine— "

With the constant extraction of materials from Law Artifact by the Zhurong Demon God, there is no shortage of various refining materials. However, whether for personal cultivation or for raising Dao Soldiers, elixirs and miraculous medicines are indispensable.

That is the biggest limitation.

"Spirit-Sniffing Mouse".

Lu Qingfeng thought of the Spirit-Sniffing Mouse.

With their keen sense of spiritual objects, any spirit medicine in the vicinity will not escape the sniffs of the spirit- Spirit-Sniffing Mouse.

However, the Spirit-Sniffing Mouse are still young and have extremely poor self-defense capabilities. Lin Feng, who has recognized them as his master, is just an ordinary person.

"First, train the Spirit-Sniffing Mouse with Lin Feng."

Lu Qingfeng fixed his gaze, gathered the materials refined by the Zhurong Demon God, and began refining the weapon.

For a fifth-tier weapon crafting master, crafting talismanic Talisman Artifact is a piece of cake.

In just half an hour, twelve Talisman Artifact, including swords, spears, halberds, armor, and shields, which were close to ordinary weapons, were laid out on the ground.

They are all Second-Rank Talisman Artifact.

"Greetings, Master."

After settling his sister in, Lin Feng rushed to the riverbank and saw his master manipulating flames to scorch metal and stones. Soon, weapons fell down. His eyes widened in amazement.

"Since you are familiar with Treasure-Gathering Mountain, is it possible for you to exchange these twelve Talisman Artifact for the medicinal herbs on the list?"

Lu Qingfeng took out a stack of processed animal hides from his pocket, on which were listed the medicinal ingredients, including detailed information on their properties, appearance, and other aspects. Even if the names were different, they could be easily matched.

"Treasure-Gathering Mountain is thirty or forty miles away from here. A round trip, plus the cost of gathering medicinal herbs, will probably take four or five days. Lin Ye, she—" Lin Feng hesitated.

"I will take care of Lin Ye, so please don't worry."

Lu Qingfeng said slowly.

"Thank you, Master."

"This disciple will definitely complete the mission!"

Lin Feng then agreed, "This disciple will go and tell Lin Ye that we will set off immediately."

No rush.

"Rest for a day, it's not too late to go tomorrow."

Lin Feng and Lin Ye had just moved away from Skeleton Mountain, leaving Lin Ye alone there that very day, so it was understandable that he was uneasy. Furthermore, Lin Feng was carrying twelve Talisman Artifact alone to Treasure-Gathering Mountain, making him highly likely to be targeted.

Having finally found a disciple he liked, Lu Qingfeng didn't want him to die young.

The next day.

Lin Feng held a domineering mountain-chopping knife in his hand, carried eleven other Talisman Artifact on his back, and in addition to the list of medicinal herbs, he also had a stack of yellow talismans in his arms.

Crossing mountains and ridges.

Heading towards Treasure-Gathering Mountain.

On the Azure Dragon River.

As Lu Qingfeng watched Lin Feng's figure disappear, he couldn't help but shake his head, "I never thought I'd have to go back to making talismans."

Back in Shangyang Country, cultivation speed was limited. In order to improve his own, Qingshan's, Qingyu's self-protection capabilities, Lu Qingfeng diligently studied talisman-making techniques in the game.

I hadn't touched it for a long time afterward, and I never thought I'd be able to use it again in this life.

Although Lin Feng's strength was weak, he possessed dozens of low- and mid-level talismans, enough to handle any unexpected situation. Even if the so-called 'Martial Master' from Treasure-Gathering Mountain personally took action, Lin Feng, with his mid-level talismans, might be able to defeat him, or even kill Martial Master unexpectedly.

At worst, with the Godspeed Talisman on him, escape would be no problem.

"Martial Master".

Lu Qingfeng's eyes scanned the Azure Dragon River, but his mind was in deep thought.

The Black Star Realm once experienced a dark period when the realm had just shattered, evolving from a 'Round Heaven, Square Earth' to a 'cosmic starry sky,' with new stars emerging and Spiritual Qi dissipating.

During this period, Black Star Realm cultivated in an extremely harsh environment. In order to adapt to this environment, in the early stages of cultivation, they took a different path from traditional cultivation.

Just like the Evergreen Realm, like the Heavenly Shaman Realm.

One is a time of Spiritual Qi revival, and the other is Age of Declining Dharma. Although both lead to the same goal after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, there are differences before that Foundation Establishment Realm.

The Black Star Realm is no exception.

Other stars and regions are currently unknown, but in the Treasure-Gathering Mountain area alone, ordinary people refer to themselves as 'martial artists'. Depending on their level of cultivation, they are further divided into 'Martial Initiate', 'Martial Disciple', 'Martial Warrior', 'Martial Master', and so on.

"Martial Initiate arts training is the foundation of martial arts. It involves training the muscles of the whole body to be strong and full, so that one can react quickly and fight against more than ten people. Lin Feng is at this stage. He has no systematic training method, has many hidden injuries, and his strength is quite limited. He has just stepped into the threshold of mortal Martial Path and can spar with two or three adults who do not exercise often."

"Martial Disciple 'train their tendons,' making their tendons throughout their bodies strong and flexible, resulting in explosive power and speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, enough to take on fifty opponents. This level of strength is comparable to that of the fourth or fifth level of the Embryonic Breath."

"Martial Warrior 'train their skin,' making their skin as tough as tree trunks, greatly increasing their resistance to blows. Ordinary people's punches and kicks can barely hurt them. They can be surrounded by a hundred people and still win, making them a match for a hundred men. They are comparable to those at the eighth or ninth level of the Embryonic Breath."

"Martial Master 'Bone Refining' have bones as hard as iron, with powerful penetrating force, greater speed and agility, and stronger resistance to blows, making them capable of fighting two hundred people. They are comparable to the early to mid-stage of the True Qi Realm, and a single punch or kick can destroy a person's life, with immense destructive power."

The strongest in the Treasure-Gathering Mountain area is Martial Master.

Certainly.

It was still no match for Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes were like torches. He pointed to the bank, and Sword Qi gathered, blasting out a pit ten zhang in diameter and two or three zhang deep. With a wave of his hand, the water of the Azure Dragon River gathered like a dragon, carrying dozens of green shrimp into the pit.

It bumped around aimlessly, unable to burrow into the ground or leap into the air.

"This shrimp—"

Lu Qingfeng looked at the shrimp in the pit, the longest of which was half a foot long, and pursed his lips.

These river shrimp must first be nurtured to develop a spiritual nature and strengthen their bodies, constantly Spirit-Nurturing Pill until they accumulate enough to transform into a half-human, half-shrimp form, which is considered a barely complete shape.

A half-foot-long, clueless green shrimp—when will it ever be able to be cultivated into Water-Element Dao Soldiers?
