What I teach you is real stuff.

Seeing the figure emerge from the black heavenly palace, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Senior Lu has come out."

The fact that they were able to walk out of there unharmed proves that the situation is at least not too bad. It seems that the negotiations did not break down. The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect and the elders of the sect could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They rushed forward and asked, "Senior Lu, how is the situation?"

"Teacher, how did the talks go inside?" Xiao Huang and the others asked.

Lu Yuan said, "The people of the Tianmo Luo Clan are indeed quite easy to talk to, and there are no problems anymore. However, we will have to stay in the outer realm for a while, but that's fine too, as we can take care of our own business."

Lu Yuan's words meant that he had already reached an agreement with the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan for cooperation.

However, he probably won't be able to return to the Immortal Realm for a while. Firstly, he has matters to attend to with the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, and secondly, Lu Yuan himself has matters to attend to in the outer realms.

However, Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming are free to do as they please. If anything happens in the Immortal Realm, Lu Yuan can have them run errands between the two places. This won't affect the development of the Immortal Realm. After all, Lu Yuan will definitely return to the Immortal Realm to develop in the future. He can't abandon the Immortal Realm's foundation and take root in the outer realms.

Hearing the teacher's words, Xiao Huang and the others showed joy.

Once you've reached an agreement, that's fine.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was overjoyed.

It seems that following along this time was the right gamble. If they had chosen to return to the Immortal Realm when they were in the spatial passage, they might not have known about Lu Yuan's formal cooperation with the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan so soon.

Having missed this opportunity to prove himself, it would be difficult for him to be given important responsibilities even if he wanted to join Lu Yuan in the future. This situation is the best he can hope for, as he has shared life and death with Lu Yuan. If Lu Yuan develops well in the future, he will definitely become a backbone and core member when he leads the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect to merge into the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

And that's exactly what the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect wanted.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect looked at the two Heavenly Demon Luo Clan members following behind Lu Yuan and asked, "Senior Lu, who are they?"

Lu Yuan said, "These two are elders of the Tianmo Luo Clan, namely Elder Tu Yuan and Elder Shen Hui. Both of them are powerful beings in the Demon God Realm. They will stay by my side during this period, mainly to protect my safety. After all, the outer realms are chaotic, and the ancestor of the Tianmo Luo Clan is worried that something might happen to me."

It turns out that these two were personal guards arranged for Lu Yuan by the Tianmo Luo Clan.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect understood and greeted the two elders.

These two seemed to have concealed their auras, but they were actually powerful demon gods. You should know that demon gods from outside the realm are equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Immortal Realm.

The Heavenly Demon Luo Clan is truly generous, directly assigning two Grand Luo Golden Immortal elders as guards. This also shows Lu Yuan's importance to the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan; ordinary people would never receive such treatment.

The elder of the Divine Society spoke up: "Fellow Daoists, please follow me. We have prepared accommodations for you."

Immediately, he led Lu Yuan and the others to the residence prepared by the Tianmo Luo Clan.

A month later, Lu Yuan and the others had gradually become familiar with the internal structure of the Tianmo Luo Clan's small world and the basic situation within the Tianmo Luo Clan.

As expected of a major tribe from beyond the realm, the number one tribe in the outer sea, the strength within their tribe is indeed terrifying, with numerous geniuses emerging.

Within the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, Lu Yuan even saw several prodigies whose foundations were no less than those of Zhang Feifei and others. The fact that the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan could stand firm in the outer realms for countless years truly demonstrated their formidable strength.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also came into contact with many things he had never encountered before in the Immortal Realm, such as the currency used for trade in the outer world, which was something called Chaos Gold.

This thing is similar to gold, but it is a strange metal with a mixture of black, gold, blue and purple colors. It is very light to hold, but extremely valuable, and is a common currency in the outer world.

Although the outer realms and the immortal realm do not trade with each other and their currencies are not interchangeable, anything that can be used as currency in the cultivation world has extremely high value.

The spirit stones of the Azure Heaven World and the immortal crystals of the Immortal Realm both contain immense spiritual and immortal energy, which can be directly absorbed for cultivation.

The Chaos Gold from beyond the realm also contains a power, but it is not immortal energy. Instead, it is a substance called blood energy or soul power. After being absorbed, it can strengthen the physical body and the soul, and can also serve as a powerful energy source.

Most cultivators from outside the realm focus on physical cultivation and spiritual cultivation, and this Chaos Gold perfectly meets their cultivation needs.

Chaos Gold is useful to both Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming, as it can help them improve their physical cultivation. Jiang Ming, in particular, is a pure body cultivator, and having a large amount of Chaos Gold would make his efforts twice as effective, as if he had divine assistance.

Moreover, with the aid of this thing, they can cultivate more sacred bodies, and can use the resources of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan to enhance the physical cultivation of disciples like Xiao Huang.

Lu Yuan now possesses numerous cultivation methods for acquired holy bodies, having previously only passed on one or two methods to each of them.

The reason I didn't teach a large number of techniques was because I was afraid they wouldn't be able to keep up with the cultivation. It would be better for them to specialize in one Sacred Body technique. But now, with the support of Chaos Gold from outside the realm, it's much more efficient. Moreover, these disciples have all reached higher realms now, so cultivating a few more Sacred Body techniques would be beneficial for them.

Lu Yuan was able to directly exchange innate holy bodies for his top-ranked disciples, such as Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming, in particular, was even more fortunate, thanks to the support of the Chaos Gold.

Moreover, most of the Tianmo Luo Clan members are body-refining prodigies. After arriving here, Jiang Ming was able to find more like-minded individuals. In just one month, he not only improved his physical cultivation but also began to challenge the prodigies of the Tianmo Luo Clan, gaining considerable benefits and insights. He also became friends with many of the prodigies of the Tianmo Luo Clan.

Lu Yuan knew about this, but he didn't stop it.

Although the Immortal Realm and the Outer Realms had a war in ancient times, countless years have passed since then. The Outer Realms demons were defeated and paid a heavy price.

Although the Tianmo Luo Clan is also part of the outer realms, after spending time with them, Lu Yuan discovered that the Tianmo Luo Clan is not one of the more ruthless tribes among the outer realms, and it is still worthwhile to befriend them.

Besides, now that the two sides are cooperating, it would be good to have in-depth exchanges.

On this day, Lu Yuan met the silver-haired quasi-saint ancestor of the Tianmo Luo clan again. When he first entered the Tianmo Luo clan, he did not know the name of this quasi-saint. Lu Yuan only learned later that the silver-haired quasi-saint was named Tianmo Luo Feng Wu, the eldest elder among the ancestors of the Tianmo Luo clan, and could also be called the first ancestor.

His cultivation level was the strongest among all the Quasi-Saint Ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, making him the number one person below the Saint level, possessing extremely high status and strength.

If it had been this ancestor who intercepted Lu Yuan outside the passage between the Immortal Realm and the outer space, Lu Yuan probably wouldn't have had a chance to struggle at all.

Upon seeing this silver-haired elder come here in person, Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Senior Feng Wu."

Feng Wu said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you have been living in my Heavenly Demon Luo Clan for more than a month now. What do you think of the internal workings of my Heavenly Demon Luo Clan?"
The outer realms are different from the immortal realm; the customs and traditions are quite different. Are you getting used to it?

Old Ancestor Feng Wu was reserved and spoke gently. Lu Yuan said, "It has quite an exotic feel, very nice. May I ask what brings Senior Feng Wu here today?"

Lu Yuan got straight to the point, asking him why he had come today.

Feng Wu took out what he had brought and said, "As we agreed before, I'm here to deliver something to you."

Feng Wu took out two items, one of which was a key. He said, "This key is essential for entering the Scripture Pavilion of my Heavenly Demon Luo Clan. Only those who possess this key can enter the Scripture Pavilion; otherwise, they will be directly annihilated by the power of a sage."

Because the rules of the outer world are different, all cultivation techniques and martial arts supernatural abilities are born within the Heavenly Dao and are rarely created by later generations. Therefore, cultivation techniques and martial arts are even more precious in the outer world.

Even a large tribe like the Tianmo Luo Clan is extremely cautious in its safekeeping. The Tianmo Luo Clan's Scripture Pavilion is not open to just anyone. Even the clan's most outstanding talents have a limited number of opportunities to enter the Scripture Pavilion to study and select scriptures.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's Scripture Pavilion contains the power left behind by a sage, specifically designed to suppress intruders. Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan uses this key as a pass, which is specially made using the holder's soul power.

Only when the soul power within the key is consistent with the soul of the holder can one walk within the library; otherwise, one will be suppressed and killed by the power of a saint.

During this period, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan were getting this key for Lu Yuan.

Now, give the access key to Lu Yuan. From now on, Lu Yuan will be able to freely enter the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's Scripture Pavilion.

Feng Wu, the patriarch, said, "Actually, there are quite a few quasi-saint patriarchs in the clan who are dissatisfied with your ability to enter the Scripture Pavilion at will. Fortunately, there are saints above who have suppressed this matter, so no one dares to oppose it openly."

This is understandable.

Many of the geniuses within the Tianmo Luo Clan themselves cannot freely enter and exit the Scripture Pavilion. Lu Yuan, a newcomer and not even one of their own from outside the realm, but a person from the Immortal Realm, is able to freely enter the Tianmo Luo Clan's Scripture Pavilion. Who would feel comfortable with that?

Fortunately, a sage set a precedent and agreed, so the elders below didn't say much, otherwise there would have been a huge uproar.

When Ancestor Feng Wu mentioned this, he wanted Lu Yuan to know that the key was hard-won and to give Lu Yuan a greater sense of belonging to the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan.

If he grows up in the future, he should not forget the help the Tianmo Luo Clan gave him today.

Lu Yuan put away the key and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Feng Wu and the Sage. I will never forget the help from the Tianmo Luo Clan."

Feng Wu smiled and then took out the second item.

Besides delivering the key, he also brought a second item, which he stored in a box made of Chaos Gold.

Chaos Gold was originally a universally accepted currency outside the realm, and it was also an extremely precious one.

Normally, Chaos Gold used in transactions is measured in grams, but Feng Wu actually took out a box made of Chaos Body. The box alone was already priceless, and it was obvious that what was stored inside was something valuable.

Feng Wu Lao Zu opened the box and found that it contained a new branch.

The new branch is a mixture of black and gold, radiating golden starlight, and contains an extremely pure and rich soul power.

Lu Yuan said, "Could this be a new branch of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree?"

When Lu Yuan looked at the Chaos Golden Box that Feng Wu took out, he already had a guess in his mind, and now it seems that it is indeed a new branch of spiritual root.

After learning about the origin of the new spiritual root branch, Lu Yuan knew that it was hard to come by. Even the most talented members of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan could only use the leaves of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree to assist in their cultivation under normal circumstances.

Only some patriarchs at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm can barely obtain a new branch for cultivation, and even then, it's only the lowest grade of new branch.

Only quasi-saint level ancestors can obtain high-grade new branches.

What is now placed in front of Lu Yuan is the highest-grade new branch of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, a new branch of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree that only sprouts once every million years. This was also one of the conditions that Lu Yuan proposed at the time.

If this condition were not granted by the sage, even Feng Wu could not have made this decision.

The new branches of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree, which only sprout once every million years, are extremely precious even within the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan. Even quasi-saint ancestors like them would have to wait in line to obtain them. Great Luo Golden Immortals don't even have the right to see them, let alone give them to outsiders.

This can be considered the first time that Lu Yuan has set a precedent by allocating the top-grade, million-year-old new branches to an outsider.

It is precisely because of this that Ancestor Feng Wu, as the First Ancestor, personally came to deliver this item.

Ancestor Feng Wu said, "These new branches are the newly formed spiritual roots and branches, which are extremely precious. You need to be extra careful when refining them. It is best to cultivate the Demon Luo Death Scripture to the seventh level before refining them. Moreover, the method of refining them is also quite special. I have prepared it for you."

The essence of innate spiritual roots from beyond the realm is naturally not so easy or simple to refine; it has its own special refining methods. Ancestor Feng Wu had already prepared these things for Lu Yuan in advance.

He handed over the refining method and the new branch to Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan accepted the package, he examined it. He could ask Feng Wu about anything he didn't understand. Once he had a clear understanding, he could start making preparations after Feng Wu left.

At the same time, Feng Wu also brought Lu Yuan some things.

He took out another box, which was made of a different material. Although it was not Chaos Gold, it was still quite precious.

When Lu Yuan opened the box, he found that there were many black and gold leaves inside. Their aura was similar to that of the new branch from before, belonging to the same source, but their source power was obviously not as pure as that of the new branch.

Lu Yuan knew what it was at a glance.

"Are these leaves from the Golden Soul Ancient Tree?"

Feng Wu said, "That's right. The sage said that these leaves were a gift for Lu Xiaoyou's disciples. The sage praised Lu Xiaoyou's disciples for their loyalty and righteousness, and specially gave them to them as an extra gift."

Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, and the others risked their lives to accompany Lu Yuan deep into the outer realms to this place; only those who were loyal and righteous could have done so.

Unexpectedly, the saint of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan even thought of this. New branches are precious and it is impossible to give them to them, so he sent some leaves instead. Of course, these leaves are products of innate spiritual roots. Although they are not as good as new branches, they are still definitely good things.

Lu Yuan thanked him again; this was yet another favor. (End of Chapter)
