Two Hundred Twenty Million Li! The Mountain God Takes His Proper Place!

After leaving the meditation room, it wasn't long before we arrived at the weapon-refining room.

With Lu Qingfeng in charge of Fufeng Mountain, he had no shortage of resources. After learning how to make Spider Puppet, Lu Qingfeng made over a thousand Spider Puppet and scattered them throughout Fufeng Mountain.

The vast territory where Fufeng Mountain is located fell into decline during the Righteous-Demonic War three thousand years ago, but materials of level six and below have not been cut off.

With a thousand Spider Puppet, and by mining at full capacity, we can mine enough materials in a year to craft four hundred Spider Puppet or one hundred Giant Tortoise Puppet.

In other words, including the time spent searching for various materials, it would take two and a half years to gather enough materials to make one Spider Puppet. It would take ten years to gather enough materials to make one Giant Tortoise Puppet.

Lu Qingfeng has been operating in Fufeng Mountain for a long time and is also exploring the surrounding areas.

Although this vast territory is a barren region, it is still inhabited by humans, and small sects and factions gather there.

Through them, Lu Qingfeng could obtain a large amount of common materials at all levels without having to waste Spider Puppet mining them. He could exchange them for pills, Talisman Artifact, Law Artifact, and puppets.

Spider Puppet only need to venture deep into the mountains to search for and mine materials that are either unavailable or scarce.

Efficiency greatly increased!

This is also true in reality.

With the assistance of the Daoist Miaoyin, various common materials can be purchased throughout the Shangyang Country. Most of the hundreds of materials of level two and below needed to craft Spider Puppet can be collected through the Shangyang Country.

The only limitation was the availability of more than ten rare level-two materials, which slowed down Lu Qingfeng's process of creating the Spider Puppet.

With Lu Qingfeng having crafted the first Spider Puppet, the situation can be greatly alleviated by targeting and mining these ten-plus types of secondary materials.

Enter the weapon-refining room.

Lu Qingfeng began refining the Thousand Mechanisms Stone after it had been enhanced ten times.

It's not difficult to refine.

Various materials are also in stock.

Lu Qingfeng buried himself in the refining process, succeeding after several failures. He then summoned a Giant Ape Puppet and replaced its core Thousand Mechanisms Stone.

[Puppet: Giant Ape Puppet]

[Type: Autonomous Type]

Grade: Level 4

[Sensing range: 22 million miles]

[Combat Strength: Foundation Liquid Condensation Realm]

Once the Heaven's Eye Technique reaches the Fourth Layer, its attributes will appear on the Giant Ape Puppet after the Thousand Mechanisms Stone is replaced.

Sensing range: 22 million miles!

As the scarlet, flashing number appeared in his eyes, a smile appeared on Lu Qingfeng's face.

As he had expected, the combined effect of the Thousand Mechanisms Stone after ten enhancements and the Spirit-Control Talisman Formation after ten enhancements increased the sensing range to 22 million miles.

Lu Qingfeng didn't care much about the distance.

All he knew was that the shortest distance between Earth and Mars was 110 million miles. Based on that, the Giant Ape Puppet's sensing range was insufficient for Lu Qingfeng to control the puppet on Mars from Earth.

"That's enough."

Lu Qingfeng smiled and began to familiarize himself with the crafting of the enhanced version of the Thousand Mechanisms Stone.

Time flies.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Lu Qingfeng was refining pills in the weapon-refining room when Han Fang excitedly ran in to report—

"My Lord, True Person Ironfeather from the Luofu Sword Sect has arrived and is currently having tea in the front hall!"

"True Person Ironfeather?"

Lu Qingfeng walked out of the weapon-refining room and saw Han Fang's delighted expression. Only then did he realize that a year had passed since Wang Pan's death.

I didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Qingfeng led the way, followed by Han Fang, as they arrived at the front hall.

Inside the hall.

A middle-aged man in a white robe, with a handsome face, sat calmly to the right, sipping his tea. Behind him stood a young man, none other than Wang Pan, whom he had not seen for a year.

Upon seeing Lu Qingfeng arrive, Wang Pan secretly gave him a signal.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng felt much more at ease.

"Junior Lu Qingfeng greets True Person Ironfeather!"

Among cultivators of the Immortal Dao, only those at the Core Formation stage can be called 'True Person'. In comparison, those in the Divine Path are at least Fifth-Rank Great Gods!

This True Person Ironfeather is the Core Formation expert of the Luofu Sword Sect, and the 'master' mentioned by Wang Pan.

"There's no need for such formalities Fufeng Mountain God."

True Person Ironfeather smiled faintly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a golden list appeared out of thin air and landed in front of Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng was taken aback and looked at True Person Ironfeather, who said, "This is a talisman that my Luofu Sword Sect petitioned the Heavenly Court for. With this talisman, the Fufeng Mountain God will be a deity officially listed in the Heavenly Court's Gods' Register."

Upon seeing this list of successful candidates, Han Fang's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"The Fufeng Mountain God Luofu Talisman Edict and True Person Ironfeather!"

Lu Qingfeng felt more curiosity than joy.

Whether he was officially recognized or not was of little significance to him. However, with the Luofu Sword Sect as his backer, he could now develop in Fufeng Mountain with peace of mind, without worrying about suppression from righteous cultivators.

From now on, there will be no more worries.

This is a good thing.

"I am True Person running errands for you."

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng's face showed little excitement, True Person Ironfeather glanced at him and then said, "I heard from my disciple Wang Pan that the Fufeng Mountain God is Rogue Cultivator who has achieved extraordinary things after Fufeng Mountain God Seal. I wonder if he would be willing to become my True Person?"

Lu Qingfeng was taken aback.

This True Person Ironfeather was truly efficient and decisive in his actions.

Upon arriving at Fufeng Mountain and confirming Lu Qingfeng's identity, he immediately bestowed upon him the Luofu Sword Sect's talisman. Then, he got straight to the point, stating that he would be accepting disciples.

It is unknown whether this is the True Person Ironfeather.

He still felt that Lu Qingfeng, a mere newly Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and a rootless, floating Seventh-Rank Mountain God, was not worth his small talk and pleasantries.

Regardless.

Joining the Luofu Sword Sect and becoming a Core Formation True Person Realm Master would be beneficial to Lu Qingfeng's cultivation and business, so there's no reason for him not to!

"Disciple Lu Qingfeng greets Master!"

Lu Qingfeng took half a step back, knelt down, and performed the formal ceremony of becoming a disciple.

"Get up."

True Person Ironfeather accepted the greeting with composure, and with a wave of his hand, two pages of golden book and a sword fell into the air.

Lu Qingfeng took it and stood up.

"These two pages of golden books, one is the Luofu Sword Scripture, a secret manual of our sect's swordsmanship. If you cultivate to the Spirit Void Realm, you can come to me to ask for the follow-up methods. The other page of golden books is the Flowerstride, Secret Method I obtained during my travels in my early years. It is a divine movement Secret Method that allows one to transform their body into a sword and traverse among flowers. When cultivated to its peak, one can travel ten thousand miles a day!"

"This sword is called the 'Fufeng Sword'. Although it is only Second-Rank Dharma Artifact, it was crafted by the sect's master weapon refiner, Divine Lord True Yang, and is quite profound."

True Person Ironfeather bestowed upon him two sects' teachings and a Second-Rank Dharma Artifact. Before Lu Qingfeng could even express his gratitude, he rode on a beam of mysterious light and soared into the sky, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"This--"

Lu Qingfeng was surprised that becoming a disciple could be so frivolous, and couldn't help but look at Wang Pan.

Wang Pan stepped forward with a smile, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu! From now on, you are a seventh-rank Fufeng Mountain God on the Gods' Register!"

"I must thank my senior brother for his help in this matter; otherwise, I would still be a wild god in the mountains."

Lu Qingfeng quickly thanked him.

"We're all fellow disciples, it was just a small favor." Wang Pan waved his hand, and seeing the doubt on Lu Qingfeng's face, he asked with a smile, "Junior Brother, do you think Master is acting strangely?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head. He had just become a disciple of True Person Ironfeather, how could he dare to criticize his master?

Seeing this, Wang Pan said indifferently, "Master has always been like this, decisive and efficient. Winning over virtuous wild gods and wandering gods is a rule set by several True Immortal in the sect. Master doesn't care about this matter, and coming here is just a routine instruction from the sect. Therefore, the way he proclaims the decrees and talismans, accepts disciples, imparts the Dharma, and bestows treasures is inevitably just a formality."

Lu Qingfeng suddenly understood.

No wonder he felt that his cheap master was in a hurry; it turned out that whether it was proclaiming the Dharma or accepting disciples, it was just a task within the sect.

If the Luofu Sword Sect wants to grow and prosper, it must recruit outstanding disciples and win over deities from all sides to increase its foundation and solidify its fortune.

Lu Qingfeng, the Fufeng Mountain God, perfectly fits the requirements for the Luofu Sword Sect to win him over.

To completely bind Lu Qingfeng to the Luofu Sword Sect, the imperial edict and the True Person leader's acceptance of him as a disciple were two separate measures. This double guarantee ensured that even if other major sects tried to recruit him afterward, Lu Qingfeng would be unable to join another sect.

This saved Lu Qingfeng some trouble.

All he wanted was a peaceful life.

The Luofu Sword Sect is not weak; relying on Yu's support and developing peacefully is the best course of action.

"Master has left. There are some details that Junior Brother Lu must keep in mind." After Wang Pan explained, he saw that Lu Qingfeng seemed to understand before speaking.

"Please speak, senior brother."

Lu Qingfeng led Wang Pan to sit down and listened to Wang Pan's detailed explanation.

The release schedule was messed up; this chapter was originally scheduled for 8 PM on the 9th. Luckily I checked, but I have to carefully schedule all the later chapters – oh no!!!
