460. Chapter 454: Changqing Demon!!!

Seated cross-legged in a deserted mountain hollow of Azurewood Valley, the Five Ghosts quietly entered Treasure Peak. Inside, they found a world beyond, constructed layer upon layer like a pagoda. Each layer was enshrined with numerous arrays; without Azurewood Valley's authorization, anyone who rashly stepped inside would be blasted to dust by countless bolts of lightning.

Kuang Tianqi was seated on the top floor, his formation gathering Spiritual Qi from all directions, and he was meditating.

Fearless of the five ghosts.

It appears directly at the bottom layer.

Kuang Tianqi was in charge of the grand formation and guarded the treasure vault, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Whoa!"

Lu Qingfeng ignored Kuang Tianqi for the time being and manipulated the Five Ghosts to enter. What he saw before him shocked him.

Within a radius of approximately thirty miles at the lowest level, thirty Spirit Stone were neatly arranged. Each stone was protected by an array, preventing unauthorized entry and exit while also containing Spiritual Qi to prevent leakage.

Each of these Spirit Stones, at a rough glance, is at least a million pieces.

"Thirty cubes."

Thirty million dollars!

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile.

Azurewood Valley established its sect through alchemy, and its numerous Primordial Spirit have accumulated over generations, which is the foundation of its strength.

It's not long-winded either.

The five ghosts immediately began moving the items.

Each Spirit Stone could be transported by the Five Ghosts in just one trip. Lu Qingfeng, finding the Mustard Seed Space in the mountain valley insufficient in size and not secure enough, took out the Upper Origin Eight-Scenery Tower.

After thirty trips.

All thirty million Spirit Stone were collected in the Eight-Scenery Tower and placed in the Four Seas Realm on the Third Layer. Above the Four Seas, the Qingfeng transformed into a great array, placing the thirty million Spirit Stone according to the pattern in the Azurewood Treasury, which also transformed into thirty squares.

Brilliant and dazzling.

"Continue!"

Thirty million Spirit Stone were collected, but the five ghosts continued their rampage.

Then we went to the second floor.

The second layer is the Spirit Pearl. Azurewood Valley is located in the area of Nine Rivers and Seven Gorges, with vast waters and countless shell farms. The Spirit Pearl produced each year are even higher than those of Spirit Stone.

"Fifty million Spirit Pearl!"

Lu Qingfeng accepted them all without hesitation.

The Third Layer of the Azurewood Treasury.

This place is still filled with Spirit Stone. However, unlike the First Layer, the Spirit Stone here each have their own attributes, some are fire Spirit Stone, and some are water Spirit Stone.

Arranged according to the Five Elements.

Attribute Spirit Stone are far more valuable than ordinary Spirit Stone and are more suitable for cultivators who cultivate the corresponding attribute. However, correspondingly, their quantity is also much smaller.

There are only two million Spirit Stone of the Five Elements metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) in the Third Layer.

In terms of value, it could be exchanged for approximately 20 million ordinary Spirit Stone.

"Move!"

The Five Ghosts Transport; collect them directly.

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile.

The "Great Five Ghosts Transportation Method" is indeed the best choice for getting rich.

Compared to that, alchemy and weapon crafting are far inferior.

Lu Qingfeng smiled and continued upwards—

The First Layer of Spirit Stone.

The second layer of Spirit Pearl.

The Third Layer attribute Spirit Stone.

The Fourth Layer attribute Spirit Pearl.

The fifth layer contains various types of spirit medicine.

The sixth layer contains various types of ores.

The seventh level of Law Artifact.

The eighth level of the elixir.

The ninth layer of scriptures.

The tenth layer of rare and precious spirit medicine.

The eleventh layer contains rare minerals.

The twelfth level, seventh-order Law Artifact.

Thirteenth level, seventh-grade spiritual pill.

The fourteenth level of top-tier methods.

The fifteenth floor...

The sixteenth floor...

The seventeenth floor...

There are a total of 28 floors.

The five little devils carried the treasure back and forth for three whole days before they finally emptied the entire twenty-eight-story treasure vault.

The twenty-eighth floor was Kuang Tianqi's place of cultivation. It was built according to the standards of a top-level meditation room. There were no treasures inside. The five ghosts went in and wandered around for a while. They glanced at Kuang Tianqi who was cultivating, but they were too embarrassed to disturb him, so they left directly.

In this way.

The accumulated resources that Azurewood Valley had built up over countless years since its founding were now completely in Lu Qingfeng's hands.

"And there's also the Primordial Spirit cave abode!"

Lu Qingfeng felt exhilarated, yet still unsatisfied. The Five Ghosts moved again, sneaking into the Primordial Spirit cave abode and looting all seven Primordial Spirit cave abode of Xun Tiange, Yue Zhong, and others who were not in the valley.

Although the harvest couldn't compare to the Azurewood Treasury, it was still a considerable sum from the Primordial Spirit cave abode.

Lu Qingfeng didn't bother to examine it carefully, nor did he care about the wealth of the other cultivators in Azurewood Valley who were below the Primordial Spirit.

In the blink of an eye.

"Out!"

The two demon gods Jumang and Houtu, appeared silently outside.

Upon appearance.

Houtu Demon God, vanished into the earth, Jumang Demon God, merged into the mountains and forests, and the Five Ghosts, turning into smoke, followed closely behind. Chuanshan mountains and rivers, arriving at a secluded place in Azurewood Valley.

The formation here far surpasses that of other places in Yellow Maple Gorge, and even the formations inside and outside the Primordial Spirit cave abode are far inferior. Only the formation outside the Azurewood Treasury can compare with it.

This is the location of the other key point of the Azurewood Valley Mountain Gate Formation, besides the Azurewood Treasury!

Whoosh!

The two demon gods, Houtu Jumang, one merged into the earth and the other transformed into the essence of plants and trees, bypassed the formation and entered it.

In the secluded valley.

It seemed no different from any other valley, with lush vegetation. In the sunny part of the valley, a verdant willow tree had grown.

Thousands of threads, Ye'er emerald green.

Upon closer inspection, two lotus-like flower buds were found growing on the north-facing branches of the lush green willow tree, swaying in the wind, ready to bloom.

Under the tree.

A person dressed in white robes sat cross-legged, with a Pill Furnace in the air in front of him, its Pillfire flickering. A fragrant aroma of pills wafted from the Pill Furnace, indicating that he was refining pills.

"Xun Bai".

Lu Qingfeng recognized the person; it was Xun Bai, the newly Primordial Spirit cultivator from Azurewood Valley. Lu Qingfeng had met this man before during the battle at Immortal Mansion of Yu Mountain, when he was known as the 'Yellow-Robed Old Monster'.

Times change and the world changes.

Back then, Lu Qingfeng was only at the Spirit Void Realm, and Xun Bai was only at the Golden Core Realm.

Now, Lu Qingfeng has reached the peak of the True Core stage, and Xun Bai has also achieved the Primordial Spirit Realm.

However, in terms of strength...

The gap between Xun Bai and Lu Qingfeng has actually widened.

"Two Primordial Spirit remain in Azurewood Valley. Kuang Tianqi is stationed at the Azurewood Treasury, while Xun Bai resides in the valley, guarding the 'Hollow Divine Willow' in the valley."

Lu Qingfeng looked towards the willow tree—

[Spirit Plant: Hollow Divine Willow]

[Grade: Eighth Tier]

[Note: The Hollow Divine Willow blossoms every 500 years, bears fruit every 500 years, and matures every 500 years, for a total of 1500 years. It yields two 'Hollow Divine Fruit,' one yin and one yang. Male cultivators consume the 'yin fruit,' while female cultivators consume the 'yang fruit.' These fruits Spirit Nurturing and greatly increase the chances of advancing to the Primordial Spirit stage.]

"What a magnificent 'Hollow Divine Willow'!"

"The Yin-Yang Fruit is said to greatly increase the chances, but in reality, as long as the foundation is solid, if one takes it at the Golden Core Peak stage, the chances of advancing to the Primordial Spirit stage are as high as 70 to 80%, which can be described as a sure thing."

"The Primordial Spirit of Azurewood Valley has remained unbroken for countless years thanks to this 'Hollow Divine Willow.' In terms of preciousness, it even surpasses the Azurewood Treasury."

What's accumulated in Azurewood Treasury is ultimately just accumulation.

However, the Hollow Divine Willow is extremely rare and hard to come by. If something were to happen to it, the very foundation of Azurewood Valley would be shaken. In the future, a single misstep could lead to its decline.

"This tree exists."

"Every fifteen hundred years, Azurewood Valley can produce at least two Primordial Spirit."

No wonder it has endured for so long.

Only.

That's the end of it.

Lu Qingfeng looked at the 'Hollow Divine Willow' with a slight reluctance, but quickly discarded it. "In the Azurewood Treasury, there are still a few 'Hollow Divine Fruit' left, which contain both yin and yang, enough for me, Qingshan, Qingyu to use."

As for this ' Hollow Divine Willow'—

"It's perfect for Foundation Establishment in the mortal world!"

In reality, Lu Qingfeng had not yet cultivated the "Mortal-World Longevity Method". He was originally waiting to advance to the Spell Gathering Realm before going out to find the Earth Baleful Yin Vein and the Qiantian Astral Qi. He would also look for them while Baleful Condensation and Astral Refinement.

Encountering the 'Hollow Divine Willow' today saves us from future troubles.

Although it might seem like a waste of resources, Lu Qingfeng didn't care much about his future.

Houtu Demon God, burrowed underground and arrived beneath the 'Hollow Divine Willow'.

The Hollow Divine Willow has an exceptionally developed root system, growing in all directions or penetrating deep into the earth. The roots are shrouded in countless restrictions and formations, some for nurturing, gathering Spiritual Qi to Spirit Birth water, and most for protection, guarding against underground snakes, insects, rodents, and other pests, both inside and outside the earth.

Under these circumstances, uprooting the Hollow Divine Willow would be extremely difficult.

The Jumang Demon God transformed into the essence of plants and trees, flowing with the wind and settling on the branches and leaves of the Hollow Divine Willow, silently dissolving into them. Through the Jumang Demon God, Lu Qingfeng saw that the area above the Hollow Divine Willow was also shrouded in countless restrictions and formations.

"This is the foundation of Azurewood Valley, so it is only natural that such a complex formation has been set up."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes gleamed, illuminating the inner and outer restrictions and formations of the Hollow Divine Willow. He made calculations with his hands, constantly deducing the patterns.

Suddenly.

A smile spread across Lu Qingfeng's face as he softly uttered—

"Rise!"

Immediately, the Hollow Divine Willow seemed to become sentient, its branches and roots swaying and trembling wildly, as if in a frenzy. While it appeared chaotic and disorderly, each tremor was actually cutting along the gaps in the array's restrictions.

Houtu controls the earth.

Jumang controls plants and trees.

It only lasted for a moment.

The Hollow Divine Willow suddenly leaped up from the ground like a scallion growing out of dry land.

"This--"

Xun Bai was stunned, his eyes wide open.

Even after achieving the Primordial Spirit, he never expected that the Hollow Divine Willow would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

"Could it have become a spirit?"

Xun Bai murmured, momentarily lost in thought.

And the next moment.

Such a commotion finally stirred up the enemy's forces.

Rumble!

Once triggered, it erupts immediately. Immense force suppresses it, and layers of restrictions make it difficult to breathe.

Boom!

Boom!

The Houtu Demon God Jumang Demon God were also unable to escape. One emerged from the earth and was suppressed on the spot, while the other fell out of the Hollow Divine Willow that had been rising into the air.

Call!

Five plumes of black smoke transformed into five ghosts that suddenly appeared, defying suppression. The five ghosts were distributed in five directions, surrounding the Hollow Divine Willow that had leaped into mid-air, with black smoke billowing around them.

The Hollow Divine Willow vanished in the next instant.

All of this happened too fast.

In the blink of an eye, Xun Bai, who was under the tree, was startled awake from his alchemy. The alchemy Pill Furnace suddenly exploded, and before the surging waves and towering flames had dissipated, the Hollow Divine Willow leaped out of the air, followed by two strangely shaped demon gods with raging flames.

"Demon God!"

"The Changqing Demon?!"

Houtu Jumang had both appeared in the East Sea End Mountain before. Xun Bai recognized them immediately upon seeing them, and his heart clenched. In his terror, he cried out.

Before he could finish speaking...

But then five ghosts appeared again, and in the blink of an eye, the Hollow Divine Willow had vanished.

"Hollow Divine Willow!"

"The Changqing Demon!"

This shock shattered Xun Bai's mind, causing his soul to Spirit Departure and his face to turn deathly pale. As he opened his mouth to the sky, a shrill, broken sound escaped from Xun Bai throat—

Martial law!

"Martial law is in effect throughout the valley. No one is allowed to move around without authorization!"

"Those who disobey will be executed without mercy!"

The sound was shrill, shattering the Nine Heavens, filled with murderous intent. Xun Bai was panicked and furious. With a wave of his sleeve, the mountain gate formation was violently lifted, and wind, fire, and thunder surged together, sweeping across Yellow Maple Gorge.

How dare you?

"How dare you?!"

"How dare I!!!"

Xun Bai's voice reverberated through Azurewood Valley. Before it could subside, a furious voice, capable of burning the heavens, echoed from the direction of the Azurewood Treasury. The voice swept across the sky, revealing Kuang Tianqi, who was stationed at the Azurewood Treasury.

Whoosh!

Above Yellow Maple Gorge, two streaks of light suddenly rose and fell, revealing Xun Bai Kuang Tianqi to be the two men.

"The Hollow Divine Willow was stolen by the Changqing Demon!"

"The treasure vault has been emptied!"

The two met and spoke almost simultaneously.

The two looked at each other.

Sizzle!

Lightning crackled in the void, and its eyes were filled with shock and rage—

"The Changqing Demon!"

Rumble!

The roar shook the heavens and the earth. The Azurewood Valley formation roared even louder, enveloping the mountains and rivers of Yellow Maple Gorge and preventing anyone from entering.

However.

In the mountain hollow, a figure stood up, and with a sway, vanished into thin air. The next instant, wind, fire, and thunder swept through the hollow, harming no vegetation, but also failing to detect anything unusual.
