The black fog gradually dissipated.
The five members of Azurewood Valley had vanished from the End Mountain. The group of powerful figures from the East Sea who had been watching from afar also quietly departed, taking advantage of the black mist's cover.
The High Person Golden Light and the Daoist Six-One, who had been watching from the sidelines, were now under the control of End Mountain. Compassionate Heart, Su He, and Zhou Yang also seemed to have been forced to join End Mountain. The demons of the East Sea, who were all living carefree lives, did not want to suffer the same fate.
Quickly retreat and get away.
Only Zhu Yang and the Golden Eyes Demon King remained.
Lu Qingfeng looked at the two of them and said, "Please, gentlemen."
End Mountain.
Zhurong Hall.
Lu Qingfeng sat in the main seat, with High Person Golden Light, Compassionate Heart, Su He, and Zhou Yang standing on the right, and Zhu Yang and the Golden Eyes Demon King on the left. As for Volcano Child and Windchill Child, they had been imprisoned by Lu Qingfeng.
Although the two were forced to obey Lu Qingfeng due to the Five Hells Mind-Form Headband, their hearts were still set on Azurewood Valley.
With nothing to do.
It's better to keep the two of them in prison to avoid them tipping off Azurewood Valley and causing unnecessary trouble.
Inside the hall.
Lu Qingfeng looked at Zhu Yang and the Golden Eyes Demon King.
This latter one cultivated on Funiu Island in the East Sea. It is said that he was a Golden-Eyed Water Ape Attainment of the Dao enlightenment, possessing a profound divine beast body. On Funiu Island, no one in the East Sea dared to provoke him, making him a hidden overlord.
Zhu Yang, on the other hand, is even more legendary.
Zhu Yang hailed from the Swordshadow Lake region, of humble origins. Through cunning and caution, he cultivated to the Spirit Void Realm. Unexpectedly, he later encountered the Righteous-Demonic War. In that battle, Zhu Yang narrowly escaped death, but ultimately reaped considerable benefits, using an Ancient Teleportation Array to arrive in the East Sea region.
After that, it made rapid progress.
Fourteen hundred years ago, Baleful Condensation and Astral Refinement, achieving great success in Dharma Gathering. However, he was coerced by an Old Devil Primordial Spirit in the East Sea to enter the Bloodflame Hall. Unexpectedly, the Bloodflame Blade, the most precious treasure of the Bloodflame Hall, which was fought over by many Old Devil Primordial Spirit, was ultimately obtained by Zhu Yang.
Moreover, when he reappeared, Zhu Yang had already reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.
With a single slash of his Bloodflame Blade, he terrified the demons of the East Sea, establishing his formidable reputation as the 'Ghost Immortal.' By this time, he was already a prominent figure in the East Sea.
"He has cultivated for less than two thousand years and has already reached the Primordial Spirit Projection Realm."
"What a magnificent Ghost Immortal!"
Seeing Zhu Yang's sickly appearance, Lu Qingfeng felt quite curious about the man. His rise to power seemed to have three major turning points—
Firstly, during his time in the mortal realm, he inexplicably embarked on the path to immortality.
Secondly, the Great Array of Righteousness and Demonic Power—I don't know what benefits he gained, but he quickly Core Formation after arriving in the East Sea.
The third is within the Bloodflame Hall. Only by obtaining the Bloodflame Blade and achieving the Primordial Spirit Realm can one truly leap to become a top expert in the East Sea, and even among the top experts in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
"Thank you both for your help in rescuing us, which allowed End Mountain to be preserved."
Lu Qingfeng looked at the two of them, his thoughts flashing through his mind, and then he opened his mouth and thanked them.
"Fellow Daoist Changqing, you are too kind."
"Even if I hadn't intervened, with Fellow Daoist Azurewood present, End Mountain would certainly have been safe."
The Golden Eyes Demon King grinned, his voice booming so loud it shook the entire hall.
"This humble Daoist priest Du Tian."
"Changqing and Azurewood are both pseudonyms of this humble Daoist priest. I hope you two will forgive my ignorance."
Lu Qingfeng did not hide anything.
Outside the hall, the Daoist Azurewood strode over and merged with Lu Qingfeng.
Upon seeing this, both Zhu Yang and the Golden Eyes Demon King raised their eyebrows, clearly taken aback. "External Incarnation Method?!"
"A minor path indeed!"
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, "It's nothing to mention."
The Golden Eyes Demon King clicked his tongue in admiration, "Such a great technique is so powerful that even after traversing countless Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, it's unlikely that anyone could master it. No wonder the people from Azurewood Valley kept calling out 'Changqing Demon' to Fellow Daoist Azurewood when we were outside the formation. It turns out they were all Fellow Heavenly Dao Dutian."
Lu Qingfeng smiled but did not reply.
I don't want to talk about this topic too much.
Seeing this, the Golden Eyes Demon King said nothing more and turned slightly to look at Zhu Yang. His actions this time were at Zhu Yang's invitation. Now that Lu Qingfeng had returned, he also wanted to see what Zhu Yang was up to.
Or perhaps.
Simply to build a good relationship?!
Zhu Yang remained expressionless and looked at Lu Qingfeng, saying, "Fellow Heavenly Dao Dutian's Great Law is profound and I admire it. There is something I should say right now, but I don't know if I should."
They made no attempt to conceal it.
It's here!
Lu Qingfeng smiled inwardly and looked at Zhu Yang. "Go ahead and tell me."
The words fell.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhu Yang revealed a jade bottle. Within the bottle, flames flickered and burned intensely, waves of heat emanating from it, enough to scorch anyone's heart and body. However, the jade bottle restrained the flames, its inner and outer rays containing countless runes confining the flames within its walls.
Maintain the state of not dispersing.
"This is--"
Lu Qingfeng recognized the fire, his eyes brightened slightly, and he guessed Zhu Yang's purpose.
His gaze involuntarily drifted to Zhu Yang's other hand.
Zhu Yang shook his head slightly, "It seems that you have already recognized this fire, fellow Daoist."
"If my guess is correct, this should be a spark of fire that fell from the Blazing Sun Realm, known as the 'Sun Essencefire'."
Lu Qingfeng looked at Zhu Yang and said.
The Sun Essencefire.
This is Divergent Flame, which is difficult for humans to create.
Only when the Blazing Sun Realm falls from the heavens, containing the essence of fire, or when it plunges into the deep sea or the earth, sinking into the magma beneath the ground, can it be nurtured for thousands of years, constantly absorbing the magma's fire, the Earth Lung fire, and so on, until finally it is completed.
The flames in Zhu Yang's hand were blazing hot, containing the essence of the Blazing Sun Realm and the aura of earth fire; it was undoubtedly the 'Sun Essencefire'.
If there were a corresponding method to refine this fire, it could also create a remarkable fire technique. However, the Zhu Yang presented was clearly unrelated to any fire technique.
"Fellow Heavenly Dao Dutian is indeed very knowledgeable."
Zhu Yang sighed in admiration, but did not reveal his thoughts. Instead, he turned to look at High Person Golden Light and the others.
"Please go and rest first."
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling the four to step back.
"Yes!"
High Person Golden Light was curious but dared not disobey, so they all withdrew.
Seeing this, Zhu Yang spoke up, "Fellow Daoist recognized the Sun Essencefire, so you must also know that the supreme spirit medicine 'Rejuvenating True Water' can be refined by using the Sun Essencefire and Cold Marrow as the main ingredients and mixing them with other spirit medicine."
"Rejuvenating True Water?"
The Golden Eyes Demon King, standing to the side, had never heard of it before and was somewhat puzzled. The Sun Essencefire was rare, and few who didn't cultivate fire-based techniques knew of it. However, the Golden Eyes Demon King was familiar with the name 'Cold Marrow'.
This is a top-tier, rare, and icy artifact in the world.
In terms of rarity, it surpasses even the Snow-Soul Pearl. Countless cultivators practicing the Great Ice and Cold Technique covet it throughout the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers. Even a single drop of its Cold Marrow appearing in the world would be enough to provoke a fierce battle among a group of Primordial Spirit, including the Snow Mountain Ancestor and the Cold Jade Black Tortoise.
The Sun Essencefire is ranked alongside the Cold Marrow, suggesting it is a top-tier Divergent Flame within the fire system.
What miraculous effects does the 'Rejuvenating True Water' made from these two ingredients possess?!
The Golden Eyes Demon King was filled with curiosity, like a cat scratching its tail.
"Really."
Lu Qingfeng listened to Zhu Yang's words and thought to himself. Seeing the Golden Eyes Demon King's expectant look, he explained, "The Rejuvenating True Water is extremely precious. It is made primarily from the Sun Essencefire and Cold Marrow. It is a secret medicine that can regenerate flesh from White Bone and infinitely repair the body. Although each cultivator can only consume one drop of Rejuvenating True Water in their lifetime, and it only works on cultivators below the Mahayana True Immortal level, consuming one drop is enough to extend a cultivator's lifespan by a quarter."
He said it.
Lu Qingfeng's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't help but return to the Chiyan Realm.
At first.
By fortuitous opportunity, he stumbled upon the immortal Immortal Mansion left behind by the Rogue Person Blazing Fire. Within this Immortal Mansion lay twelve drops of Rejuvenating True Water. Unfortunately, time was of the essence, and he only had time to seize the Immortal Mansion, thus missing out on this supreme treasure.
I learned this later.
Several major immortal sects fought fiercely over the Rejuvenating True Water, razing Baiyan Mountain to the ground and creating thousands of miles of barren land, a truly alarming sight.
This item is precious.
However, Lu Qingfeng did have some contact with them in this life in the Immortal Qin Realm. In the end, the Sun Essencefire grows in the magma of the Earth Lung, and the Cold Marrow is hidden deep in the glaciers and snowfields. Both are dangerous places for Primordial Spirit monsters, and the slightest carelessness could lead to their death.
However, there are quite a few Mahayana True Immortal in the Immortal Qin Realm.
While the Sun Essencefire and the Cold Marrow are rare and hard to come by, they can still be found eventually. With Lu Qingfeng's abilities and status, he has not only seen both the Sun Essencefire and the Cold Marrow, but he has also spent a considerable sum to obtain a drop of the Rejuvenating True Water from a True Immortal in the Sorrow River.
Then we analyze it.
Lu Qingfeng also acquired the method for refining the Rejuvenating True Water and had already refined it many times.
They knew far more than Zhu Yang had imagined.
"Extends the lifespan of those below the True Immortal level by a quarter?!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Eyes Demon King's eyes Golden Light brightly. This truly was a top-tier secret medicine in the world. For cultivators, lifespan was of utmost importance. Once lifespan was exhausted, everything came to an end. No matter what kind of Divine Ability or Law Artifact one possessed, it would all be in vain.
Moreover, for an ordinary Primordial Spirit cultivator, a drop of Rejuvenating True Water would only increase their lifespan by about two or three thousand years. But for a divine beast like him, a quarter of his lifespan was an astonishing number.
I got excited in a moment.
Hearing that Lu Qingfeng truly knew a great deal about the Rejuvenating True Water, Zhu Yang's eyes flashed with delight. Just as he was about to speak, the Golden Eyes Demon King spoke first, grinning excitedly, "Fellow Daoist, do you possess any Cold Marrow?"
"No."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
Cold Marrow is precious.
He had previously obtained a Snow-Soul Pearl in Green Conch Ravine Biyang Lake, but he only learned about the rare item Cold Marrow from the novel "Primordial World". He had never heard of it in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
"That--"
The Golden Eyes Demon King paused, then turned to look at Zhu Yang and asked telepathically—
"These Daoist Du Tian have no Cold Marrow, why is Brother Zhu rushing to help them?!"
Zhu Yang shook his head, ignoring the Golden Eyes Demon King, and addressed Lu Qingfeng in a sickly and weak voice, "I, Zhu, also do not possess the Cold Marrow, but I do know Cold Marrow whereabouts. I have come here to ask for your help in obtaining the Cold Marrow. When you refine the Rejuvenating True Water, you will need no less than three drops, and I will only take one drop. Any excess True Water is yours to dispose of as you see fit."
After Zhu Yang finished speaking, he looked at Lu Qingfeng, waiting for a response.
"Then what are we waiting for? If the three of us join forces, even those old bald monks from the Six Dust Temple won't be able to curry favor with us. What treasure can't we snatch?!"
The Golden Eyes Demon King, unable to contain his excitement, pointed to the heavens and exclaimed.
If the Rejuvenating True Water is truly refined, there will be at least three drops. That means he could definitely get one drop. Like Zhu Yang, the Golden Eyes Demon King is a lone wolf; one drop of Rejuvenating True Water is enough for him. If he obtains it, he will have a much higher chance of ascending to the Upper Realm and reaching the True Immortal realm.
This is an incredible fortuitous opportunity!
