Chapter 465 - 239: Borrowing Lu Chan’s Power to Scheme for the Core Formation Land

"Would Fellow Daoist Lu Chan consider listening to my matter before making a decision?" Wen Jiu once again asked East Spring Undying Bone to send a message.

Hearing this, Lu Chan’s expression tensed, but she didn’t let her chief disciple, Lu Xinghe, leave. "Please speak, Fellow Daoist."

"To be honest, this time I escaped from the Divine Fall Mountain Range to avoid the war, not only for my own safety."

"Given Fellow Daoist’s strength, a battle involving a Golden Core Influence doesn’t pose much of a life-threatening threat." At this moment, Lu Chan had a bold thought, vaguely guessing something.

The next moment, after hearing the message from East Spring Undying Bone, her expression froze again, and the hand holding the tea cup stopped in mid-air.

"Li Mou wishes to use the Lu Family’s Tier Three Yin Vein for a Realm Breakthrough and Condensing Pill, preferably far from East Pole Immortal City, where no one can disturb. To be honest, I have already prepared the Tier Three Celestial Yin Pill, only the Tier Three Yin Vein is missing!"

The purpose of Wen Jiu’s message was singular; it was to inform Lu Chan, who would in turn inform the Lu Family Golden Core of this Core Formation opportunity.

Even without the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, becoming a Golden Core is not guaranteed, but it would definitely result in a Fake Pill, adding another Fake Pill Cultivator to the Lu Family. Certainly, this was also said to Lu Chan so she would earnestly persuade the Lu Family Golden Core Cultivator.

Lu Chan pondered for a long time, then asked, "Do you have a Yin Sha Evil Spirit, Fellow Daoist?"

"No, the Yin Sha Evil Spirit is incredibly rare; how could I dare to hope for it?" Wen Jiu denied, worried that the Lu Family Golden Core might have other thoughts. Based on the soul memories obtained from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s Fake Pill Cultivators, even within the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, a Yin Sha Evil Spirit is considered a rare commodity.

Once it appears, Golden Cores are sure to flock to it, and there have even been incidents of Golden Cores perishing for the sake of a Yin Sha Evil Spirit.

This shows how rare the Yin Sha Evil Spirit is.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood, I just blurted it out instinctively." Even though East Spring Undying Bone shook his head, Lu Chan realized that her question was somewhat excessive, then she added, "Since Fellow Daoist is requesting, I will naturally do my utmost, but even within the Lu Family, Tier Three Yin Veins are scarce. Most have already been used as Dao Fields for Zhenren or have been leased to Heterodox Golden Core Zhenren. Finding a Tier Three Yin Vein for a Realm Breakthrough and Core Formation without disturbance might not be easy.

However, I will soon visit my mentor. If my mentor speaks, we might have a chance to find a Core Formation Yin Vein. But without the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, the chance of forming a True Pill is slim, I’m afraid."

"Even if there’s a sliver of hope, I wish to try. If Master Wu Jian could assist, regardless of the outcome, I would be willing to sign a Spirit Contract again, be it for a hundred years or a thousand." Wen Jiu added via message.

Hearing this, Lu Chan was taken aback. "To think Fellow Daoist is so determined, I will immediately seek my mentor. If possible, I will certainly strive to procure a Yin Sha Evil Spirit for you. After all, if Fellow Daoist agrees to sign a thousand-year Spirit Contract, you become one of the Lu Family, and surely the elders of the Lu Family will seriously consider it."

After saying this, Lu Chan secretly added via message, "If Fellow Daoist could lift the Silencing Spell, I would be more confident."

"No need, just state the situation as it is." Wen Jiu directly refused Lu Chan’s suggestion via message, "But still, thank you, Fellow Daoist. If this can be accomplished, I will surely repay you generously."

"You’re too kind; I’ll set out immediately." Lu Chan did not delay, promptly instructing her chief disciple to entertain East Spring Undying Bone. At this moment, Lu Xinghe had already gathered the general idea from his master.

Yin Sha Evil Spirit, Tier Three Yin Vein...

Li Bai actually intends to Breakthrough and Condense Pill, and his master is actually willing to seek the help of her mentor to procure a Yin Sha Evil Spirit for him. At this moment, he somewhat understands why his master is doing this.

After Lu Chan left, Lu Xinghe hurriedly served tea, meanwhile narrating the matters of East Pole Immortal City to East Spring Undying Bone.

Wen Jiu didn’t hastily urge East Spring Undying Bone to leave either. After listening for a while, he decided to have Lu Xinghe take him to the Lu Family Trading House or to see the trade centers for high-level resources in East Pole Immortal City.

With Lu Xinghe, a descendant of a Golden Core, leading the way, there would be fewer troubles, and it would be easier to purchase high-level Corpse Nourishing resources.

East Pole Immortal City.

It couldn’t be a wasted trip.

Lu Xinghe, being a clever person, immediately led East Spring Undying Bone to the largest trading house in East Pole Immortal City, which was established by the City Lord’s Mansion and belonged to the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion.

It was also learned that half a month later, there would be a high-level resource auction, featuring many items of the Left Path.

Wen Jiu initially wanted to try buying directly, but any resources above Tier Two Top Grade in East Pole Immortal City could only be auctioned. To purchase directly, probably only a Golden Core Zhenren would have the channels for this.

...

One or two months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Lu Chan stayed with Lu Shouren, who was in seclusion drawing talismans, without leaving the lakeside courtyard for a moment, and today she finally met him.

As the bamboo door lightly opened, a pleasant-looking female Cultivator in a green dress slowly walked out, her eyes filled with displeasure as she looked at Lu Chan, complaining, "You still have the nerve to see Master when you can’t accomplish your task?"

"Senior Sister."

Lu Chan bowed her head to greet, her expression extremely troubled, because she saw the person she least wanted to see on this trip — Lu Tianhong.

Lu Tianhong.

Senior Sister under Master Wu Jian.

Top-Grade Spirit Root, Top-Grade Dao Foundation, but unfortunately, she only became a Fake Pill Zhenren in the end. However, her cultivation and strength are among the top tier of Fake Pill Cultivators. Though not comparable to demonic figures like Ye Yue Qingyou, she has few rivals in the West Mountain Floating Domain. Therefore, she is the right-hand person of Master Wu Jian, also known as Lu Shouren.

What made Lu Chan’s expression sour wasn’t her status and strength, but the fact that Lu Tianhong generally didn’t get along with her fellow disciples. But she could get things done, so her position under Master Wu Jian was very high, as it was in the entire Lu Family, where only a few could match her, besides the seven Golden Core Ancestors.

With her present, obtaining the Yin Sha Evil Spirit seemed slim because Lu Tianhong was very wary of outsiders within the Lu Family.

"Come in quickly, Master has already wasted a Tier Three Lower-Grade Talisman to save you, and after much difficulty in creating another, you interrupted his state of mind again, resulting in only a semi-finished product. If I find out that you have no major matter at hand on this trip, you will have to escort spiritual medicine outside East Pole Immortal City!" Lu Tianhong coldly spoke.

Lu Chan did not retort, respectfully entering the bamboo courtyard, quickly kneeling to greet upon seeing Lu Shouren, who changed his clothes and strolled out.

"Disciple Lu Chan, greets Master."

"You’ve waited two months. What is the matter?" Lu Shouren leisurely sat on a bamboo chair on the side, sipping a cup of spirit tea.

Lu Chan glanced at Lu Tianhong, hesitated repeatedly, then told the matter of Wen Jiu’s Realm Breakthrough and Core Formation in one breath, continuously emphasizing his strength to match that of Fake Pill Cultivators and being self-equipped with a Tier Three Celestial Yin Pill, only wishing to borrow a Tier Three Yin Vein for the breakthrough.

But before Lu Shouren could speak, Lu Tianhong coldly interjected, "No matter what, the Heterodox Core Formation will greatly deplete the Yin Spiritual Qi of a Tier Three Yin Vein, and it may not recover in a hundred years... Even if he’s self-provided with a Celestial Yin Pill, he must sign another Spirit Contract, extending for at least a hundred years, not allowing the use of the Lu Family’s resources for free."

Lu Chan hurriedly said, "Master, Senior Sister, Fellow Daoist Li has already mentioned that as long as the Lu Family is willing to assist, regardless of a hundred or a thousand years, he’s willing to sign."

"Then let him sign first." Lu Tianhong spoke again.

Lu Chan did not argue; she couldn’t afford to offend Lu Tianhong, nor did she wish to.

But in her view, this was excessive.

Signing a Spirit Contract before even using the Tier Three Yin Vein, where’s the sense in that?

It was at this time that Lu Shouren raised his hand to stop Lu Tianhong, speaking slowly, "The Lu Family’s Tier Three Yin Vein is either used for Golden Core Dojos or rented to others. However, we have a newly acquired Tier Three Yin Vein.

Yet it’s shared with other Golden Core Influences, a distance of ten thousand miles from East Pole Immortal City. If he’s interested, I could assist in negotiating with the Lu Family’s other Zhenrens as well as the shared Golden Core Influences. If he’s willing to sign a thousand-year Spirit Contract, I can personally help protect his Dao, which is not impossible."

In Lu Shouren’s perspective, as long as the Spirit Contract is signed, whether Li Bai achieves a Fake Pill or True Pill, it’s a gain for the Lu Family.
