Chapter 160 Black Gold Jade Bees Cultivate Demonic Beasts (Please Subscribe!)
Black Gold Jade Royal Jelly is a very important ingredient in alchemy. Adding a small amount of Black Gold Jade Royal Jelly when refining pills can improve the quality of the pills and increase the success rate of pill refining.

Therefore, this kind of spiritual object is something that many alchemists dream of!
The number of black gold jade bee colonies that Lu Wensu obtained was relatively small, and the quality of the colonies was not high.

The bee colony currently has fewer than 100 members. Apart from the queen bee and a few worker bees, which are of mid-grade first rank, the rest of the Black Gold Jade Bees are of low-grade first rank.

Black Gold Jade Bees need to collect nectar from various spiritual flowers to produce royal jelly, and the more spiritual flowers there are and the higher their quality, the better it is for the bee colony to develop.

Black Pine Mountain has only a first-order spiritual vein. The spiritual energy there is sufficient to support the growth of the Black Gold Jade Bee colony, but the environment of Black Pine Mountain is not suitable for cultivating various spiritual flowers, which is detrimental to the development of the Black Gold Jade Bee colony.

Lu Wensu had mentioned this matter to Lu Wenxing before, but the Lu family could not find a suitable place to cultivate Black Gold Jade Bee colonies, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.

After the Lu family seized Luofeng Mountain, Lu Wenxing thought of using it to cultivate Black Gold Jade Bees.

Although the Black Gold Jade Bee is currently only at the mid-stage of the first rank, it is a very worthwhile monster to cultivate, and Lu Wenxing strongly supports Lu Wensu in cultivating this monster.

After discussing with Foundation Establishment cultivators such as Lu Chengping, Lu Wenxing finally decided to use Luofeng Mountain as a base for cultivating Black Gold Jade Bees.

“I have a second-tier beast-taming inheritance and a second-tier spirit plant inheritance. Since the clan has decided to vigorously cultivate the Black Gold Jade Bee, let’s hand over these two inheritances to suitable cultivators in the clan for them to study!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

These two inheritances came from Su Yu and others; they are the two most insignificant inheritances.

However, these two inheritances happened to be useful to the Lu family. After some thought, Lu Cheng'an finally decided to hand them over to the clan to help it develop.

"I will convert these two inheritances into family contributions later. I can't let you have contributed to the family for nothing!" Lu Wenxing said very seriously.

Lu Chengan smiled and did not refuse.

Besides turning Luofeng Mountain into the Lu family's monster breeding base, Lu Cheng'an's killing of He Luming and his wife on that day also caused quite a stir in Qingling Mountain Market.

The rogue cultivators in Qingling Mountain Market and some cultivators from Qi Refining forces were amazed by the strength of the Lu family. The Lu family had unknowingly cultivated a late Foundation Establishment cultivator and become a behemoth like the Dan Ding Sect.

These cultivators were happy to see the Lu family grow stronger, because the Lu family had always been kind to cultivators from small factions and had never oppressed them.

Therefore, the stronger the Lu family is, the better it is for them.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you. Haven't you been looking for a fire-attribute demonic bird with outstanding talent? A while ago, Peng Yue, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Peng clan of Yunan Mountain, said he knew about such a demonic bird."

That was the Flamewing Flowing Wind Sparrow, which lived in Wanchao Mountain and contained a trace of Vermilion Bird bloodline. Once this demonic bird broke through to the second tier of cultivation, it would automatically master the Blazing Flame Flowing Fire and had the opportunity to awaken three demonic arts: Flowing Wind Wings, Flamewing Divine Light, and Blazing Fire Divine Flame.

Wanchao Mountain is 5,000 miles away from the Lu family, and it is still the territory of the Tianyan Sect.

Like the Burning Flame Mountain Range, Wanchao Mountain was occupied by demonic beasts.

However, the monsters in Wanchao Mountain are much weaker than those in Fenyan Mountain Range, and the monsters living here are mostly birds.

Although the Flamewing Flowing Wind Sparrow possesses a faint Vermilion Bird bloodline, this type of demon beast does not have a high talent for cultivation. Only after the Vermilion Bird bloodline within them awakens multiple times can they cultivate to a higher realm.

However, it is not easy for demonic beasts to awaken their bloodline; it is much more difficult than breaking through their cultivation level.

Peng Yue had seen the Flame-Winged Flowing Wind Sparrow, a type of demonic bird, in Wanchao Mountain, and he had some understanding of it.

Therefore, after learning that the Lu family was searching for this kind of demonic bird, he took the initiative to tell the Lu family the news.

The Flamewing Wind Sparrow of Wanchao Mountain is not particularly strong; there are currently three second-tier Flamewing Wind Sparrows in the clan.

"The matter of the fire-attribute demon bird is not urgent for now. Clan leader, let the Peng family inquire more about the Flamewing Flowing Wind Sparrow!" After thinking for a moment, Lu Cheng'an did not intend to make a move against the Flamewing Flowing Wind Sparrow right now.

Now, there are not many years left before the eight years Shi Ningyu mentioned. Next, he needs to continue to work hard to improve his cultivation and reach the threshold of breaking through the Golden Core realm.

Even if he were to obtain a suitable Flamewing Wind Sparrow now, he simply wouldn't have the energy to train it.

“Since you are interested in the Flamewing Flowing Wind Sparrow, I will have the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Peng and Liang families go and investigate this demonic bird!” Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

The Peng and Liang families mentioned by Lu Wenxing are the Peng family of Yunan Mountain and the Liang family of Green Wind Valley. These two families were the Foundation Establishment forces that were previously oppressed by He Luxiao and his wife.

After the Lu family killed He Luxiao and his wife, they were able to save these two Foundation Establishment forces.

In addition, the Peng and Liang families were not particularly far from the Lu family, so the Foundation Establishment cultivators from these two families took the initiative to express their gratitude to the Lu family.

When Peng Yue, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Peng family, learned that the Lu family was looking for a demonic bird with a good fire-attribute bloodline talent, he took the initiative to tell the Lu family about the Flamewing Firebird.

The Liang family of Green Wind Valley is skilled in the cultivation of spiritual plants. The Lu family transformed Falling Phoenix Mountain into a base for breeding demonic beasts, mainly the Black Gold Jade Bee. This requires the cultivation of a large number of spiritual flowers and herbs on Falling Phoenix Mountain.

The Lu family has also trained spirit plant masters, but the spirit plant masters trained by the Lu family are only at the beginner level. Naturally, they cannot compare with the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan like the Liang family, which has passed down the art of spirit plants.

Therefore, after the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Liang family of Green Wind Valley came to the Lu family to express their gratitude, Lu Wenxing took the initiative to ask the spiritual plant masters of the Liang family of Green Wind Valley to help plant spiritual flowers and herbs on Luofeng Mountain.

They also proposed sending the plant cultivators trained by the Lu family to the Liang family for a period of time to study.

Of course, Lu Wenxing did not entirely demand anything from the Liang family of Green Wind Valley. In return, the Lu family was willing to share a portion of their second-tier spirit plant master inheritance.

The Liang family of Green Wind Valley was far weaker than the Lu family. After the Lu family offered to share the inheritance of a second-tier spirit plant master, they naturally did not dare to accept it openly. Instead, they took the initiative to offer to exchange the inheritance of a second-tier spirit plant master with the Lu family.

Moreover, they did not refuse the things that the Lu family had asked Liang Shi of Green Wind Valley to help them with.

Liang did not feel that she had been taken advantage of; on the contrary, she felt that she had benefited from the Lu family.

After all, given the Lu family's power, even if they were directly ordered to do so, the Liang family wouldn't dare to refuse.

Now, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Liang clan has personally led some first-tier spirit plant masters from the clan to Luofeng Mountain, and Lu Chengping has also gone to Luofeng Mountain.

Because planting spiritual herbs requires the assistance of setting up various spiritual arrays, Lu Chengping is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual array master.

If Luofeng Mountain needs to set up any spirit array, Lu Chengping's skill in spirit arrays allows him to do so directly.

The Black Gold Jade Bees are still at the early to mid-stage of the first tier, and the spiritual flowers and herbs that the Lu family mainly cultivates are also of this tier.

Of course, there are second-tier spiritual veins in Luofeng Mountain, and many places can be used to cultivate second-tier spiritual fields. However, these areas will be developed later, when the Lu family will find a way to purchase the spiritual arrays that Lu Chengping cannot set up.

Lu Cheng'an is not in a hurry to acquire the Flame-Winged Flowing Wind Sparrow, a type of demonic bird. The Peng and Liang families have enough time to slowly gather information about this demonic bird.

Time passed slowly, and two hours quickly went by.

After learning about the family's current situation from Lu Wenxing, Lu Wenxing and Lu Wenmei returned to their respective homes, while Lu Cheng'an waited for Jin Yuan to break through.

Two hours later, the spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the golden circle had subsided, and his cultivation had successfully broken through to the second level.

Jin Yuan did not consolidate his cultivation. He had already sensed Lu Cheng'an's presence in the cave, so after successfully breaking through, he excitedly rushed out of the cave.

"Master, my cultivation has broken through to the second level!" Jin Yuanyuan's round body rushed out of the cave, his tiny eyes looking at Lu Cheng'an with great excitement.

Lu Cheng'an smiled and nodded, saying, "You did well, but you still can't slack off in your cultivation. Now go back and consolidate your cultivation!"

Lu Cheng'an quickly examined Jin Yuan from head to toe and found no problems with her body.

The Mineral Spirit Clan is not particularly powerful. Even though Jin Yuan's cultivation has broken through to the second level, his strength is still very weak.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng'an didn't cultivate Jin Yuan with the expectation that Jin Yuan would have any outstanding combat abilities; he only hoped that Jin Yuan could assist him in refining second-tier ores.

After Lu Cheng'an sent Jin Yuan back to his cave to consolidate his cultivation, he also returned to his original cave where he cultivated.

"Next, I need to prepare some second-tier pills to improve Jin Yuan's cultivation. Once I've cultivated the Void Yang Soul Refining Technique to perfection, I can also start working hard to improve my cultivation."

Lu Cheng'an considered it for a moment and realized that second-grade low-level pills that could help Jin Yuan improve his cultivation were very easy to obtain.

However, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so second-tier high-grade pills that can assist late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in their cultivation are not so common.

This reminded Lu Cheng'an of the Jade Spirit Pill he had taken when he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He wondered if Shi Ningyu had any similar pills.

The Jade Spirit Pill played a significant role in enabling him to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time.

After thinking of the Jade Spirit Pill, Lu Cheng'an took out the communication jade plate and sent a message to Shi Ningyu, inquiring about the second-grade high-quality pill.

Shi Ningyu did not reply to Lu Cheng'an immediately, and Lu Cheng'an did not wait for Shi Ningyu's reply. He placed the communication jade plate beside him and then continued to cultivate the Void Yang Soul Refining Technique.

Lu Cheng'an has now cultivated the Void Yang Soul Refining Technique to the perfect level, but like the Golden Crow Seal and other techniques, he is only at the initial stage of perfection and is still some distance away from true perfection.

Nine days later, Shi Ningyu finally replied to Lu Cheng'an.

Shi Ningyu did indeed possess a second-tier high-grade pill similar to the Jade Spirit Pill, named the Jade Sandalwood Pill.

However, she only had two Jade Sandalwood Pills in her hand, and she had already taken both of them.

Shi Ningyu is capable of refining Jade Sandalwood Pill, but she lacks the main ingredient for refining it, Jade Sandalwood Ganoderma.

The Jade Sandalwood Mushroom is of the second-tier superior grade. It is not a spiritual plant, but rather a jade essence that condenses in the spirit jade mine, and its quantity is extremely rare.

Although the Jade Sandalwood Mushroom is of the second-tier superior grade, this spiritual item is only produced in third-tier spirit jade mines.

There are no Tier 3 spirit jade mines within the territory of the Tianyan Sect. Shi Ningyu has been trying to search for Jade Sandalwood Mushroom, but has not yet succeeded.

Lu Cheng'an felt somewhat disappointed after receiving Shi Ningyu's message.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset and sent another message to Shi Ningyu.

After that, Lu Cheng'an left his secluded cave and headed towards the Dan Ding Sect.

His main purpose in going to the Dan Ding Sect was to purchase medicinal pills.

Although the Dan Ding Sect does not have the Jade Sandalwood Pill with superior effects as Shi Ningyu mentioned, it does have other pills that can assist cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

When Lu Cheng'an arrived at the Dan Ding Sect, he was received by Jiang Ying, the sect's Grand Elder, who was in charge of the sect's elixir business.

After purchasing the necessary pills from Jiang Ying, Lu Cheng'an did not seek out Shi Ningyu and Xu Shao again, but returned directly to Chiyan Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an stayed at Chiyan Mountain for several more days. After Jin Yuan's cultivation stabilized at the early stage of the second tier, he took Jin Yuan away from Chiyan Mountain and entered the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

The underground magma river environment is more suitable for his cultivation. He needs to refine the fiery energy in the magma river to enhance his magical power.

The fiery aura on Green Crocodile Island wasn't particularly strong, so Lu Cheng'an didn't plan to continue cultivating there. He needed to find another suitable place to cultivate in the lava river.

Lu Cheng'an is now very confident in his own strength. Even if he encounters a second-stage perfect realm demon beast or a spirit race cultivator in the lava river, he is confident that he can defeat them.

Even though his strength was inferior to that of demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators at the second-stage perfect realm, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.

After Lu Cheng'an led Jin Yuan into the underground lava river, he went to Green Crocodile Island first.

He was relatively unfamiliar with the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains, far less so than Zhu Yan.

He wanted to find a suitable place to cultivate, and only with Zhu Yan's help could he find one quickly.

"It's been a long time! Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation has improved even more!" Zhu Yan greeted Lu Cheng'an with a smile as she came out from Qing'e Island after sensing his presence.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level did not increase much during this period because he had not cultivated seriously since leaving Qing'e Island. He spent his time dealing with other matters.

Although his cultivation level did not increase much, his combat strength improved significantly.

Zhu Yan hadn't seen Lu Cheng'an for a long time, so when she saw him now, she had this misconception that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had increased significantly again.
