Yellow Court Daoist

In time, there should be a surprise.

But aside from the Purple Insect Bell, Lu Qingfeng still needed to refine the Transmission Array Plate and also the Luofu Heart Lamp.

Accounting for this, he indeed needed a considerable amount of materials.

"It's a pity that the Juyun Mountain Range has a plethora of Spiritual Medicine, while the Refining Materials are scarce."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Then, with a smile.

Perhaps he was being greedy.

Compared to Refining Materials, the Spiritual Medicine that could be used to refine Elixir Pills and enhance cultivation was naturally more important to him.

Cultivation is the foundation.

Magic Artifacts are just icing on the cake.

"No rush for the other Sect Magical Artifacts."

"The Purple Insect Bell is related to the Iron Fire Ants, the Iron Fire Ants are related to the Refining Crystals, and Refining Crystals are the main material for refining the Transmission Array Plate. The Transmission Array Plate must be refined before the first batch of Qingyuan Sword Sect disciples pass the Longevity Trial."

Purple Insect Bell!

Transmission Array Plate!

These are the two most crucial Sect Magical Artifacts at the moment.

As for the other Magical Artifacts, they are just to enhance strength and diversify combat methods. Lu Qingfeng, with various Divine Skills, isn't that reliant on Magical Artifacts.

It's best to have them, but not a big deal if not.

"Downgrading the Purple Insect Bell to First Rank, the materials required are merely uncommon, not as hard to find as Refining Crystals or Purple Gold Copper."

"The truly rare items are the three main materials to refine the Transmission Array Plate."

"For Refining Crystals, there's already a plan in place; as long as the Iron Fire Ants are successfully bred, obtaining the first batch of Refining Crystals within ten years won't be difficult."

"Now—"

The other materials needed for the Transmission Array Plate are already gathered, with a prospect for the Refining Crystals, only missing the Purple Gold Copper and the Illusion Dream Stone.

"Let's wait for the two Supreme Elders to return."

Lu Qingfeng put the thoughts aside.

Reaching into his chest, he took out seven different feathers and began to calculate with his fingers. Streaks of spirit light flashed in his eyes, and after a short while, the seven feathers ignited in mid-air, turning to ash and scattering.

"Golden Wave Sect."

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes with a wisp of a smile, closed them, and entered "Primordial."

…

Peak Rain Mountain.

Night had already fallen.

Three figures concealed in the darkness made their way to the foot of Peak Rain Mountain.

"This is the place."

Dressed in a black robe, Chang Chun looked towards the mountain path, revealing only his eyes.

"Lu Qingfeng entered this mountain two hours ago and has not come down," Wang Gu reported softly.

"Hmm."

"Although Lu Qingfeng is an Alchemy and Artifact Master, his cultivation is not weak. Elder Chanyun's surprise attack was thwarted by his alert defense, ending in failure."

"This attack must be swift. Don't waste words; cut him down quickly and leave the mountain!"

Sun Li, gaunt as a twig, rasped with a hoarse voice, issuing a final caution. Immediately, he was the first to step into Peak Rain Mountain.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

Chang Chun and Wang Gu nodded in agreement and promptly followed close behind.

Peak Rain Mountain was modest in height, falling far short when compared to Taoyun Peak.

All three were Foundation Establishment Practitioners, and though they moved on foot, their pace was exceedingly rapid.

They reached halfway up the mountain in no time.

However, at that moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the three figures.

"An Array!"

Chang Chun exclaimed with shock.

Such a concealed Array, despite the cover of the night, yet able to evade the Divine Sense of three, must be extraordinary.

Judging from the energy triggered, it wasn't an ordinary setup.

"Don't panic!"

"A mere Array, how could it stop us?!"

Sun Li bellowed, his hands coming together to form a sword sign, and immediately a small sword shot out from his waist. Soaring through the air, it rapidly aimed to split the Array.

"Lingyun Sword."

"It's Elder Sun's Lingyun Sword!"

Seeing this sword, Chang Chun and Wang Gu were reassured.

Sun Li, as a Supreme Elder with Body Tempering Realm cultivation, had most of his power vested in this Flying Sword. It was already at the Second Rank, duly refined.

With one strike, even Foundation Establishment Practitioners of equal Body Tempering Realm would be hesitant to confront it head-on.

Truly formidable.

"Let's attack together!"

"""

Sun Li controlled his sword, simultaneously signaling Chang Chun and Wang Gu to make their move.

Both heard the command and immediately sacrificed their magic artifacts.

One was a Flying Locust and the other a sharp sword.

They couldn't compare to the Lingyun Sword, being merely ordinary First Rank magic artifacts.

The Three Sects' magical artifacts were activated, streaking towards the thunder in the sky with great speed.

Boom!

Thunder struck, hitting the magical artifacts squarely.

Sun Li's Second Rank Flying Sword split the thunderbolt, halting suddenly in the void. Chang Chun and Wang Gu, as if struck by a heavy blow, trembled, only to see the Flying Locust Stone and the flying sword fall to the ground.

Their surface scorched black, clearly having sustained no small damage.

More importantly, the imprints within their carefully refined magical artifacts for many years were dispersed by the thunder, causing them to lose control.

"Be careful!"

"This array is dangerous!"

Sun Li shouted loudly, his hands forming a Seal Technique to retrieve his flying sword.

But unbeknownst to them, a figure appeared out of thin air in the sky. As soon as he appeared, he reached out and grabbed the flying sword in the air.

"This—"

Sun Li frowned slightly, his True Yuan surged as he tried to recall the flying sword.

But he saw the person in the sky's hands flashing with thunder, pouring into the flying sword—

"Pfft!"

In just a few blinks of an eye, Sun Li felt the flying sword going out of control. His spirit's painstakingly refined flying sword was seized, making him spit out a mouthful of reverse blood, seriously injured.

"Lu Qingfeng!"

Sun Li looked up at the person in the sky.

It was their target for this trip—

Lu Qingfeng!

"Moths to a flame."

In mid-air.

Lu Qingfeng held the thunder, seizing the flying sword. Then, he casually threw the flying sword into his storage bag, before his eyes finally turned to face Sun Li and his two companions.

Having encountered them before at Wind Roar Cliff, he recognized them instantly.

"Golden Wave Sect."

"It's quite a gathering."

Lu Qingfeng smiled, casually throwing out a few Seal Techniques, and his body was immediately surrounded by thunder.

"You dare seize my magic artifact!"

"Die!"

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng's strength was extraordinary, Sun Li's heart sank slightly, but his momentum did not wane as he danced his hands and immediately several streaks of Sword Qi sliced through the air, charging straight at Lu Qingfeng.

"Insignificant skills!"

Lu Qingfeng chuckled softly.

With a wave of his hand, the array started to operate, and instantly, dozens of thunderbolts fell together. It was like creating a Thunder Prison, encompassing Sun Li and his two companions.

As for the Sword Qi?

The moment it touched the thunder, it dissipated without a trace!

"Not good!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Sun Li finally panicked, losing his composure. He still had confidence in breaking through the array and killing Lu Qingfeng before it was fully activated. But once the array was fully initiated, with overwhelming momentum and vast thunder, he realized he had underestimated the power of the array.

Thus, he roared, turning to flee.

Chang Chun and Wang Gu, whose cultivations were not as high as Sun Li's, dared not resist head-on, immediately reversing their stance to exit the array.

"How can you come and go from Peak Rain Mountain as you please?!"

Lu Qingfeng laughed loudly and with a wave of his sleeve, the Thunder Prison instantly enveloped the three of them.

Boom!

Thunder struck, as the three of them raised their True Essence Shields and various defense techniques and talismans.

However—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Whether it was the True Essence Shield or any defensive technique or Defensive Talisman, none could withstand a single blow.

Beneath the thunder, they were shattered to pieces.

"No!"

Without protection, how could the three survive the dozens of thunderbolts that struck down?

In an instant, they were reduced to ashes.

Not a bone or corpse was left!

Including the Body Refining Realm's Sun Li.

"How can you trespass the Soul Searching Temple's Evil-Slaying Five Thunders Array at will!"
