Chapter 8

【Round Light Manifestation】: Through a round light ball, project the image of what happened at a certain time and moment, to explore secrets and karma.

In an instant, the Dao Seed penetrated the body, and the comprehension and usage of this divine ability were clear in his heart.

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Mingzhang's eyes.

This divine ability came very well!

The Lu family's development momentum was very good now, but he had never forgotten the disaster decades ago.

Over the years, he had spent quite a few Spirit Stones looking for related spells.

But, there was no effect at all.

This divine ability, however, was just right for use!

Lu Mingzhang tested the divine ability, found a place, poured in Divine Soul power, and mobilized the origin Qi.

He saw a ball the size of a human head appear in mid-air, and with this as the center, within a diameter of one zhang, scenery different from this moment appeared.

This was the image of Lu Mingyun coming to this place to cast a spell and walking past the day before yesterday!

A completely three-dimensional projection, although illusory, looked very real; one could even see the hair of the characters and the fine dust.

The range and time period of this divine ability's manifestation were controllable; as the range increased, the time grew, and the distance of the time increased, the consumption of Divine Soul power also increased accordingly.

Manifesting yesterday, or even things that happened within a year, the consumed energy was only the basic part of releasing this divine ability, which could be considered a starting price.

Afterwards, for every year added, the consumption increased by ten percent.

To want to retrace the scene ten years ago, the consumed Divine Soul power reached twice the retracing of what happened at a certain time this year.

The day the Huoquelin attacked the Lu family's spirit field was fifty-two years ago.

To reproduce the scene at that time, the consumption reached six times that of reproducing the recent time period!

Lu Mingzhang estimated that with his current Divine Soul power at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, consuming half could support reproducing a one-zhang square range for a quarter of an hour.

This didn't matter; Divine Soul power was consumed and could be recovered again.

If a quarter of an hour couldn't find clues, then check for a whole day; if a whole day didn't work, then reproduce for a month.

This breath had been held for decades, and Lu Mingzhang must let it out!

He didn't make it public, but started to investigate from the place where he discovered the Huoquelin that day, starting from the landing point of the golden light, following the direction from which the golden light flew.

That day, he only saw the golden light but not the person.

What was certain was that the other party used some kind of invisibility spell.

Below the Golden Core stage, unless one mastered some kind of divine ability, ordinary invisibility spells could not completely cover all auras.

And in the process of releasing the spell, the figure would inevitably be revealed.

The first day of searching had no results.

Resting for a few days and waiting for the Divine Soul power to recover, Lu Mingzhang searched for the second time.

With the experience of the last time, this time he focused on retracing a determined place, and finally, a figure appeared in the image.

It was this guy!

The newly acquired divine ability had strong power; not only could it see the image, but it could also determine the other party's aura and strength based on the image.

Comprehensive judgment: this person's cultivation was at least at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but not Golden Core.

This person acted cautiously, used an invisibility spell, and even covered his face with black cloth.

However, that pair of eyes and the unique aura, if perceived in reality, Lu Mingzhang felt he would definitely be able to identify them.

This was enough!

There were quite a few spells that used aura to find targets, and Lu Mingzhang had also collected some during this period; the one he mastered was called "Tracking Technique."

It was just that he didn't know if this simulated aura was accurate.

Precisely locating the time position of this image, Lu Mingzhang rested for a while first.

After his state was sufficient, he retraced again, intercepted a segment of aura, and activated the Tracking Technique; immediately, a bright light flew towards a certain place.

Lu Mingzhang hurriedly escaped underground, followed the bright light with his Divine Sense, and moved quickly.

Not long after, he crossed the Red Mist Mountain Range and entered the territory of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect.

The Jinfeng Immortal Sect could contend with the Ziyao Immortal Sect, and its own strength was naturally not weak; it had Nascent Soul True Monarch experts sitting in town, and there were quite a few Golden Core cultivators.

If the target was within the mountain gate of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect, Lu Mingzhang would absolutely not follow up again.

But this tracking clue led him to a city named "New Moon," and finally pointed to a residence with a "Han Mansion" plaque.

Lu Mingzhang didn't continue to go deeper.

They had long investigated the immortal sect forces west of the Red Mist Mountain Range that were close to the Lu family.

New Moon City was an immortal city under the jurisdiction of the Jinfeng Immortal Sect, controlled by the cultivation family Han family.

The Han family was a spirit farming family, possessing large areas of spirit fields, with the main business of planting Spirit Rice and the side business of planting some spirit herbs.

This family had a profound inheritance, with a Golden Core ancestor sitting in town, and the Lu family could not yet contend with it.

After returning to the Lu family spirit field bamboo house, Lu Mingzhang chose to temporarily seal this result and not tell others.

He couldn't let the Immortal Sect know about the divine ability matter, and even to prevent the treasure from being discovered by powerful cultivators, he still needed to pay attention to staying away from large sects, so even if he reported the result to the Immortal Sect, there was no evidence to determine the conclusion.

And now the Lu family itself couldn't do anything to the other party, so they could only continue to wait for an opportunity.

Knowing the enemy but not being able to take revenge would cause quite a bit of resentment for everyone, and might even startle the snake.

Develop silently; only when the Lu family gave birth to a Golden Core Master could they plot a counterattack.

Sixteen years ago, the Lu family gave birth to the Qilin child "Lu Xinju," with water and wood dual spirit roots, and the quality of both spirit roots reached the superior grade; his talent was extremely good, and he was hailed as the Lu family's Qilin child.

To date, he was already at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, reaching the middle stage of Qi Refining.

It was estimated that he would definitely be able to reach Qi Refining perfection before twenty-five and enter the Foundation Establishment stage before thirty!

As long as he could steadily improve his strength, he would inevitably be able to form a Golden Core.

To increase this child's survival ability, before he went to the Ziyao Immortal Sect, Lu Mingzhang planted the 【Submerged Abyss Escaping Earth】 divine ability Dao Seed for him.

Therefore, Lu Mingzhang had very sufficient confidence that the Lu family could produce a Golden Core Master.

This was just a matter of time.

To this day, the Lu family had nine Foundation Establishment true cultivators, all of whom had the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 Dao Seed, and among the Qi Refining clansmen, seventeen also possessed Dao Seeds.

The total number of spirit fields reached seven hundred and fifty mu, of which one hundred and twenty mu were purple crystal rice.

They could harvest more than sixteen thousand Spirit Stones every year.

Such output was definitely not small.

A small spirit stone mine vein only produced thirty thousand to fifty thousand Spirit Stones a year, and after deducting labor costs, there was only a profit of more than forty thousand.

The Ziyao Immortal Sect, a huge sect, only had one medium-grade spirit stone mine vein and eight low-grade spirit stone mine veins under its jurisdiction.

A family like the Lu family, which didn't even have a Golden Core Master, had such abundant industries, and quite a few people were very greedy.

Actually, Lu Mingzhang could continue to expand, but he didn't do so.

An innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a criminal.

A child holding gold through a busy market is the way to take one's own life!

Before his own Golden Core Master appeared, he didn't intend to continue expanding.

Moreover, three thousand Spirit Stones were taken out every year for Lu Xinju to use.

He couldn't finish using these Spirit Stones for his own cultivation or buying pills; he couldn't even use one-tenth of them.

After all, he was only at the Qi Refining stage.

The extra ones were all for him to use for social expenses with his fellow disciples in the sect.

By this year, eight people from the Lu family had joined the Ziyao Immortal Sect; these were all Lu Xinju's foundation.

The Lu family wanted to use the Ziyao Immortal Sect's deterrent power to stand firm.

In the ancestral rules set by Lu Yuantu, the first was "The transcendent must resurrect the ancestor Lu Yuantu," and the second was "Seek progress in stability; during the tenure of each Patriarch, strive to let the family's foundation rise to a higher level."

With the 【Divine Ability Treasure Mirror】 in hand, as long as they stabilized, the Lu family could become an immortal clan of longevity!
