Chapter 76
Cold wind Castle also had an artificial spirit vein. Although it was only a level two Spirit vein, the area it covered was extremely large. The initial enlightenment cultivators could not cultivate properly here and had to spend extra spirit stones. However, it was not a problem to accommodate one to two hundred foundation building cultivators and ten to twenty thousand Qi refining cultivators.
The cost of maintaining such a huge artificial spirit vein was not cheap. But this was also part of the preparation for war, and it was inevitable.
Cultivators from all over the world would be given a place to stay. At least in cold wind Castle, they didn’t have to worry about maintaining normal cultivation.
However, there were still some cultivators of unknown origins who gathered here. They were not participants of the war and could not obtain a suitable residence for free. They could only rent a place outside the fortress.
This would require money.
Now, the four of them were in such a place.
“This is the right place.” Lu Tingzhou looked around and confirmed it.
He was Lu chaoxi’s eldest son and one of the three ninth-stage Qi refining cultivators that the clan had sent over. Lu ranting and Lu tingyuan were the other two.
Lu chaoxi walked forward and knocked on the door. Then, he waited quietly in the snow outside the door.
After a while, the door opened, and a young face appeared.
This person was wearing a fiery red fur coat. He looked very mature and was a man in his Prime. He was very tall and strong, but there was a heat unique to teenagers in between his brows.
Lu chaoxi did not notice anything. However, his father had told him before that this person’s current appearance was actually a disguise. In reality, he had not even turned 20 yet.
However, he was already at the eighth level of the Qi refining stage!
What kind of genius was this? Was a single spiritual root really that powerful?
Although this young man only had the wind spiritual root and not the true heaven spiritual root, it was still a rare sight.
It needs to be mentioned here that there were two types of single spiritual roots. The single spiritual root that people usually referred to was actually a mutated spiritual root. Wind, Thunder, ice, steel, metal, and bone were all counted.
When one had multiple spiritual roots, it was good to have mutated spiritual roots. However, when it came to single spiritual roots, the best ones were not mutated spiritual roots, but true five-elemental spiritual roots.
The single spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were also known as heavenly spiritual roots.
Although this young man did not have the legendary heaven spiritual root, his mutated spiritual root was already considered top-notch.
This meant that he was an excellent golden core seedling. Even if his future development was not smooth, he could at least enter the initial enlightenment stage.
To put it more bluntly, people with this kind of talent would almost never encounter any trouble when breaking through to the foundation building realm. Even without the foundation building pill, the probability of directly breaking through was more than 60% to 70%.
Other people would strive to reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage before the age of 60 and complete the foundation establishment stage before their qi and blood deteriorated. However, this kind of genius pursued to reach the initial enlightenment stage before the age of 60, so as to give more time to break through to the Golden core stage.
At the thought of this, even Lu chaoxi could not help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
However, he quickly suppressed it and asked with a pleasant expression, ” “Are you sun wenxia, our little friend sun?”
“Uh, Yingluo, it’s me. Are you guys looking for me?”
I’m lu chaoxi. I’m from the Feiyun state. I’m currently leading a team and am about to set off for Liao County to attack the White ghouls that are occupying feimu town. I heard that there’s a warrior here who cares about the safety of all living beings, so I’ve come to invite you. Are you willing to kill the White ghouls with me?”
“The Feiyun state? Lu chaoxi? Is Lu Yingying from the Lu family of Pingyao?” Sun wenxia thought for a moment, then became excited.
Lu chaoxi was stunned when he heard the man’s question. He did not understand what was going on with this guy, but he still answered, ” “Yes.”
“Is Lu Wenen a member of the Lu family?”
Lu chaoxi was even more confused. How did he know about Lu Wenen?
But when he recalled his father’s instructions, he could only be patient and reply, ” “Yes.”
“If that’s the case, then I’m willing!” Sun wenxia’s eyes lit up.
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and asked, ” “But are you really a member of the Lu family? A guild leader?”
Lu chaoxi took out a bronze token and said, ” “I’m not lying. I have the authority to temporarily recruit cultivators. Are you willing to come with me?”
This was something that the Xue state’s three famous sects and the Qingfeng sect had jointly issued to prove their identity. This item would also record the results of the entire team’s battle, so it could not be faked.
“No problem then! When do we leave?”
“In the next few days. Since little friend sun has agreed, why don’t you come with me to cold wind Castle and head to our team’s encampment?”
“Sure.”
He led sun wenxia into the city. On the way, Lu chaoxi thought to himself,’this kid is as naive as my father said. He’s so inexperienced and easy to fool.’
Fortunately, he had met him. If it had been someone else with evil intentions, his identity as a person with mutated spiritual roots would have been the biggest crime that would have killed him.
However, Yingying’s disguise was really exquisite. If Lu Qing had not told him about it in advance, he would not have been able to connect this middle-aged man in a red fur coat with a young man who was not even 20 years old.
......
After getting his eldest sons, Lu Tingzhou and Lu tingyuan, to help sun wenxia settle down and keep an eye on him, Lu chaoxi came out again and went to the center of cold wind Castle.
When he reached the center of the fortress, he was stopped.
He took out his token and, after revealing his identity, said that he wanted to see perfected yunxuan.
Zhenren yunxuan was an initial enlightenment cultivator sent by the Qingfeng sect to the cold wind Castle. He was in the ninth level of the initial enlightenment realm and had a chance of reaching the Golden core realm.
But now, all the matters in cold wind Castle were handled by him and an initial enlightenment cultivator from white sun sect. One could imagine how busy he would be.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to meet with perfected yunxuan if there was nothing important.
However, Lu chaoxi knew that the news he brought would be highly valued.
However, after waiting for half an hour, he did not see Zhenren yunxuan. Instead, he saw an annoying fellow.
Zhao Pinggu.
“I hope you’ve been well, brother Lu,” Zhao Pinggu cupped his hands and said with a fake smile.
...
“Hehe, Zhao Pinggu, it’s you.”
“I knew that you, Lu chaoxi, wouldn’t tolerate this. However, I advise you to go back now. If everyone asks to see senior uncle yunxuan because they think that the manpower assigned to their team is not good, or because the mission is too dangerous, then wouldn’t that old man be annoyed to death?”
“What if I don’t?” Lu chaoxi narrowed his eyes.
“Then you can try.” Zhao Pinggu sneered. there are restrictions here. If you dare to move, you will be struck by lightning. You’re a lightning cultivator. Do you want to have a taste of being struck by lightning? It might even be of some help to your cultivation.”
“Hmph,” he snorted.
it’s useless even if you sneer. Bring your Lu clan members to feimu town and die. You’re the cannon fodder of the C group.
“Alright.” Lu chaoxi laughed when he heard this. then I’ll bring the Gongsun family’s young master to his death.
