Lu Yang's telepathic message received a response quickly.

Mu Yunxue's response was very concise, stating that she planned to stay in the sect to cultivate.

The last time she went out with Lu Yang, they had a continuous discussion on the Dao. In addition, they had discussed the Dao several more times in the past ten days. Her understanding of the Dao of Metal has reached a critical point and is about to undergo a transformation.

Therefore, Mu Yunxue planned to take this opportunity to go into seclusion for a period of time.

Qin Nanyue, however, planned to go along and take a look.

Although Lin Ying has not yet emerged from seclusion, judging from the fluctuations of divine sense outside the cave, her breakthrough has reached a critical stage, and she will probably continue to seclude herself for a while longer.

With Wang Liu and other bodyguard puppets taking care of things inside the cave, there shouldn't be any problems.

Most importantly, she is now at a critical juncture in comprehending the "Heavenly Mark Sword Manual".

She needed to ask Lu Yang from time to time about his insights and cultivation experience regarding the "Heavenly Mark Sword Manual".

In the end, Lu Yang, Qin Nanyue, Jiang Shiqing, and Liu Yaoyao left the sect together.

Of course, in addition to the four of them, Lu Qingtong's Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc spirit pet will also be going along.

These days, after entering the Jinyang Mountains, Lu Qingtong has completely let loose and been living her life to the fullest.

Lu Yang had checked on the girl's situation through the spirit pet's mark; this girl was practically the tyrant of the Golden Sun Mountain Range now.

The Jinyang Mountain Range itself does not have any particularly powerful demonic beasts; the strongest are only at the Golden Core stage.

Unless they are spirit pets, it is impossible for a Nascent Soul stage demon beast to live peacefully near a top sect.

Otherwise, they would be proactively handing over a whole bunch of materials to you.

With Lu Qingtong's Nascent Soul Perfection cultivation, just by releasing her aura, all the demonic beasts on the mountain had to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

This also made Lu Qingtong act like a gangster boss, leading a group of temporarily recruited henchmen to swagger around the Jinyang Mountains, exuding power and prestige, even kicking stray dogs that passed by.

Fortunately, Lu Qingtong remembered Lu Yang's words and didn't go too far. She even helped protect the outer disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect who were training in the mountains.

It is said that several outer disciples in the Qi Refining stage encountered a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast while doing a mission in the mountains.

Just as it was about to suffer disaster, a flash of green light suddenly appeared, and the demon beast was pressed to the ground by an invisible force, unable to move.

The disciples were terrified. When they came to their senses, they saw a little girl with long golden hair squatting on the head of the monster, waving at them triumphantly.

Later, the news spread among the outer disciples, who all said that there was a "Little Golden Immortal" in the Golden Sun Mountains secretly protecting the sect's disciples.

When Lu Yang notified Lu Qingtong through the spirit pet's mark and asked if she wanted to go out and play together, Lu Qingtong immediately cheered and said she wanted to go.

That was incredibly exciting.

Lu Yang found it somewhat amusing.

He even thought to himself that after dealing with the Blood Demon Palace cultivators this time, he should bring Qing Tong back to the Lu family and let her play with Hong Dou.

The two little girls look about the same age, so they should be able to play together.

In addition, Lu Qingtong is a fully-fledged Nascent Soul cultivator who has transformed into a powerful demon, and by following Hongdou, he can also protect her.

Judging by the time, Hongdou should be testing her spiritual roots soon, right?

Lu Yang could sense the spiritual energy fluctuations around the red bean and would instinctively absorb the spiritual energy into his body.

However, Lu Yang was unsure of the specific quality of the spiritual root.

However, judging from the concentration of spiritual energy, the quality of the spiritual root is probably not very high.

Of course, it doesn't matter. If I acquire more rare and precious materials to enhance my spiritual roots in the future, I can prepare a portion for Hongdou as well.

In time, her spiritual roots will gradually improve.

Furthermore, the concentration of spiritual energy on Dongwang Mountain is now vastly different from what it used to be, making Hongdou's cultivation conditions far better than they were back then.

He never had the conditions he has now before.

Soon, Jiang Shiqing and Liu Yaoyao came out of the cultivation room.

The three of them went together to pick up Qin Nanyue.

Qin Nanyue stood at the entrance of the cave, having waited for a while.

Today she was dressed in a dark black fitted outfit, with a black soft armor belt tightly cinched at the waist, outlining her slender and strong waistline. Her long, black hair was tied up in a high ponytail, revealing her long, fair neck.

The group then reached the summit of the mountain, where Lu Qingtong was already waiting.

The Jiuhua Cloud Chariot rested quietly on the mountaintop platform, its pale gold patterns on the nine-tiered canopy shimmering and shifting in the drizzle.

The rainwater on the summit had been dispersed by the formation, and the bluestone ground was dry and clean. Only the pine needles of the surrounding pine forest were covered with glistening water droplets, which shimmered coldly in the gloomy light.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, Lu Qingtong's blue eyes lit up, and excitement appeared in them.

She cheered and rushed to Lu Yang like a little golden whirlwind, jumping up and hanging on him. Her little arms tightly hugged his neck, and her childish, clear voice carried a hint of coquetry: "Young Master, I missed you so much!"

Lu Yang was exasperated, and pinched her chubby little cheek in an annoyed tone: "You have a sweet tongue, but you were having so much fun outside, did you even think about me?"

Lu Qingtong chuckled, showing no embarrassment at being exposed, and simply rubbed her face against Lu Yang's chest.

Her golden feathered robe was slightly wrinkled from being rubbed, and there was a pine needle stuck in her hair, which she didn't know had come from some tree.

Lu Yang helplessly picked off the pine needle for her, patted her little head, and gestured for her to get down.

The group boarded the Jiuhua Cloud Carriage.

The bronze carriage door slowly closed behind us, shutting out the sound of the rain outside.

Upon entering, Jiang Shiqing, Liu Yaoyao, and Qin Nanyue stared wide-eyed at the miniature world inside the car, each displaying an expression of shock.

Pale golden light streamed down from the dome, illuminating the entire space with a bright yet soft glow.

Beneath our feet lies soft, fertile black soil, and in the distance, rows of spiritual fields are neatly arranged with clearly defined ridges, and clear spiritual springs flow slowly through the irrigation canals.

Further away lies a clear, emerald-green spirit pool, with wisps of pale white spirit mist floating on its surface, and the water shimmering under the light dome.

Behind the Spirit Pool, several white jade palaces stand quietly, with flying eaves and brackets, exquisite and elegant.

The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy; taking a deep breath made me feel every pore on my body open up.

They never imagined that there was such a small world inside this flying magical artifact.

Liu Yaoyao opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

She had hosted so many auctions and seen countless rare treasures, but she had never even heard of a flying magical artifact containing its own little world!

Jiang Shiqing and Qin Nanyue, however, were already shocked by Lu Yang so many times before that they quickly recovered.

Jiang Shiqing's shimmering eyes swept over the uncultivated black soil in the spirit fields, then gazed at the emerald green spirit pool in the distance, and asked curiously, "Young Master, this place is so big! Can these spirit fields be used to grow spirit herbs?"

She was in a hurry to plant spiritual herbs for Lin Ying.

After all, Lin Ying was responsible for procuring all the spiritual herbs she used in alchemy.

Lu Yang nodded: "Of course, and the spiritual spring can also be used for bathing."

Following his gaze, Qin Nanyue looked at the misty spiritual pool, and her spirited eyes immediately lit up.

The pool water was clear and emerald green, and a misty haze drifted slowly across its surface like a veil, making one feel completely comfortable just by looking at it.

She immediately showed a hint of interest: "That sounds good. Shiqing, Yaoyao, let's take a bath together later!"

Although there are hot springs and mountain springs on the forbidden mountain peaks, they are not really suitable for them to bathe in them because there is no protective formation.

It can only be used after Senior Baili has finished setting up the defensive formation.

However, this problem doesn't exist inside this flying magical artifact.

Inside the flying magical artifact, there was only Lu Yang, the only man present.

Jiang Shiqing and Qin Nanyue are already Lu Yang's women, so they don't care if Lu Yang sees them naked while they're taking a bath here.

Liu Yaoyao is not Lu Yang's woman yet, but as Lu Yang's personal maid, she naturally didn't say much, and was even a little expectant.

That spiritual pool looked shrouded in mist and had crystal-clear water; it must be extremely comfortable to soak in.

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he gave a bright smile: "I'll soak with you guys."

Qin Nanyue's pretty face flushed instantly. She glared at him, annoyed, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking? Go away, I don't want to go with you!"

Jiang Shiqing's eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips slightly lifted, as if she was quite interested.

She pursed her red lips and chuckled, "If Nan Yue isn't willing, would you like to have a private soak with me later, young master?"

Jiang Shiqing realized that they had never practiced dual cultivation in the water before!

She had only had the "Secret Manual of Returning to the Source" for a few days, and hadn't even had a chance to get started with the Phoenix Path chapter, but the descriptions alone had already filled her with longing.

The water in the spirit pool ripples, and the aura of dragons and phoenixes blends together... Just thinking about it makes one's heart race!

I want to give it a try!

Lu Yang immediately beamed, his tone tinged with feigned gratitude: "Shi Qing is still the best to me!"

As he said this, Lu Yang deliberately glanced at Qin Nanyue, his face full of disappointment.

Qin Nanyue pursed her red lips and glanced at Jiang Shiqing with a hint of annoyance.

You, Jiang Shiqing!

You really are a vixen! So you think you're the only one who can play the good guy?!

Seeing Lu Yang's disappointed expression, even though she knew he was mostly faking it, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Qin Nanyue's favorability towards Lu Yang was already at its maximum, so she naturally cared a lot about Lu Yang's feelings.

She considered whether to speak up, but was too shy to know how to start.

Especially since Liu Yaoyao was watching from the sidelines...

However, Qin Nanyue gritted her teeth and secretly transmitted her voice to Lu Yang, saying, "If you... if you really want to soak together, I'll come along later too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a look of surprise and delight.

He knew Qin Nanyue was shy, and that it took a tremendous amount of determination for her to say such a thing.

He immediately replied telepathically, "Okay, I'll have Yaoyao go cultivate later, she won't be able to see it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She pursed her red lips, her ears burning, her pretty face slightly flushed, and softly whispered, "Mmm..."

Lu Yang was satisfied. He took out the control array plate and casually tossed it to Wang San, who was waiting behind him: "Let's go."

Wang San accepted the array plate and respectfully replied, "Yes, young master."

Then, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Meanwhile, the bodyguard puppets Wang Da, Wang Shiyi, and Wang Shiliu, who had come with Lu Yang, Jiang Shiqing, and Qin Nanyue, also disappeared from the spot, no longer disturbing Lu Yang and his group.

At the summit, the walls of the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot shone with light.

Nine dragon reliefs slowly twisted in the white light, and countless clouds were drawn from the rain curtain, condensing into nine cloud dragons fifty feet long.

The cloud dragons lowered their heads, and the nine bronze ropes automatically looped around them. Then, they all raised their heads and let out a long, deep dragon roar.

The rain curtain trembled slightly from the dragon's roar, and the pine needles on the mountaintop rustled, scattering water droplets all over the ground.

Nine cloud dragons, each with its four claws, treaded on the clouds, pulling the ancient and noble bronze chariot into the air.

The little world inside the car didn't even feel the slightest vibration.

Nine cloud dragons rode on the clouds, and under the shocked gazes of the many disciples and elders of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, they transformed into a pale golden stream of light, flew out of the sect's formation range, and flew into the distance.

The state where Zhou Mu, the master of the Blood Demon Palace, resides is called Huangzhou, which borders Daozhou, the central region of the Eastern Region.

Because Daozhou possesses top-grade spiritual veins, the spiritual energy concentration in the surrounding major states is quite high.

Although not as naturally advantageous as Daozhou, Huangzhou also boasts several top-tier forces.

Zhou Mu's public identity is that of a Golden Core Elder from the top-tier Xuan Tu Mountain!

This Xuan Tu Mountain is a top-tier sect that specializes in earth cultivation. The sect has two powerful Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their Nascent Soul stage, making them quite formidable.

Even in Huangzhou, where powerful individuals gather, it would be considered a top-tier force at the highest level!

In fact, when Lu Yang saw Zhou Mu's information, he was also a little surprised that the master of the Blood Demon Palace was actually a Golden Core elder of a top righteous sect!

I don't know if this guy thinks the most dangerous place is the safest, or what.

Of course, Zhou Mu's identity is not limited to just being an elder of Xuantu Mountain.

He used various aliases and identities to move around the Eastern Region, accumulating dozens of different identities.

Some are still being used in secret, while others have long been abandoned.

Currently, he is using the identity of an elder of Xuantu Mountain.

His Taoist name in Xuantu Mountain is also quite ironic.

The Taoist name is "Qingxuan".

He was known in the sect for his composure, integrity, aversion to women, and single-minded devotion to the Dao, and was deeply trusted by several senior elders.

Lu Yang's next task was simple: rush to Huangzhou, enter Xuantu Mountain, and kill Zhou Mu.
