Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

This shows that there is indeed an insider within the Ghost Sect.

In order to eliminate these potential threats and collect evidence, the three decided to split up.

Su Liyan is responsible for finding insider information and destroying enemy forces, Zi Xier is responsible for collecting intelligence and supplies, and Lu Yuan continues to enhance the strength of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion.

After Lu Yuan returned to Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, the first thing he did was to find out the identity of his missing disciple.

Through the accounts of their relatives, friends and companions, Lu Yuan learned that these people disappeared after meeting for the last time without any news.

Faced with this situation, Lu Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He thought of the wealth and resources he had unexpectedly obtained in the market.

Perhaps these resources can help him find the inside track.

So, he decided to use the resources at hand in the market.

The next day, Lu Yuan came to the main store with a large amount of elixirs.

He showed the refined elixir and told the shopkeeper that it could be purchased with spiritual stones.

This news quickly attracted the attention of all major forces in the city.

Soon, Lu Yuan saw a group of warrior-looking people surrounding him. One of them asked him: "Are you Lu Yuan, the master of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion?"

"Why are elixirs suddenly being sold in the market?"

Lu Yuan explained with a smile: "I accidentally encountered a batch of precious materials when I was walking outside, and successfully refined this batch of refined elixirs."

"Now I plan to use the spirit stones to exchange for more resources to consolidate the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

After hearing this explanation, everyone showed interest in Lu Yuan.

They know that elixirs are of immeasurable value in the world of monks. If they can get enough elixirs, it will undoubtedly bring a huge improvement to the strength of the force.

Lu Yuan realized that the opportunity had come, and he reached a transaction agreement with the shop owner.

The owner of the shop is willing to provide him with more resources and information and guarantees absolute confidentiality.

Lu Yuan provided them with the elixir.

In this way, Lu Yuan obtained more contribution points and important materials, and consolidated Leihuo Dan Pavilion's foothold in the city.

Zi Cuiling stood at the door of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion and informed Lu Yuan that she was about to go to Nantian City to handle family affairs.

Due to internal family regulations, she can no longer maintain close contact with Lu Yuan.

Zi Cuiling expressed her gratitude to Lu Yuan and promised to make some arrangements for him.

She introduced Zi Xi'er, the image Lu Yuan had before buying the elixir at Fangshi Auction House.

Due to the complicated power relations within the Ziyun family, Zi Xi'er cannot go back with Zi Cuiling, but Zi Cuiling has arranged for two elders to take care of her.

"Brother Lu Yuan, I know that you need more spiritual stones to strengthen the strength of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, especially to improve the quality of the Heart Suppression Pill." Zi Xi'er said.

"I can help you find some spiritual stone resources. We can convert the loot into spiritual stones."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much for your help, Zi Xi'er."

"You are an indispensable member of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

He expressed to Zi Xi'er his deep gratitude for her selfless assistance and loyal partners around him.

Zi Cuiling smiled upon hearing this, showing her selfless helping and generous side.

"This is what it should be. I know the courage you showed when you were fighting against the evil cult outside."

"You are a person who is truly capable of protecting yourself and those around you."

In the end, Lu Yuan gave Zi Cuiling some of the items and equipment he had obtained from defeating the evil cult.

These included a piece of Sun Gold and several Soul Gathering Beads as gifts of thanks.

After Zi Cuiling received these gifts, she carefully kept them as if they were treasures.

"This sun gold and soul-gathering beads should be very attractive to cultivators in Nantian City. Thank you for your generosity." Suddenly, Zi Cuiling took out a thin book from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"There's something else I've prepared for you."

"This is a technique called 'Secret Records of Supernatural Powers', which can enhance the power of your soul."

"I know you have been having trouble with your practice recently."

Lu Yuan took the book, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you so much!"

"I really need to improve my spiritual power."

He solemnly expressed his gratitude to Zi Cuiling.

In the security zone outside Tianfeng City, in a peaceful mountain forest, Su Liyan stood in front of an ancient immortal portal.

She was wearing a light blue fairy robe, holding an ice crystal whip in her hand, and her face was solemn.

"Brew a bag of jasmine tea, let it cool and drink it."

She said to the members of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion beside her, "I am going out to perform an important mission. Please be sure to pay attention to the safety of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that they would take good care of their attics.

They knew that it might take a long time for Su Liyan to leave this time.

Su Liyan stared deep into the gate, her heart filled with worry and dependence on Lu Yuan.

She has witnessed Lu Yuan step forward and save everyone at critical moments many times.

But at the same time, she also knew that he shouldered a more important responsibility - practice.

Looking at the sky uneasily, Su Liyan turned and walked forward.

She decided to go to the Hanyu Valley to make a breakthrough in practice and forge stronger power in the lightning and ice.

At the same time, Lu Yuan felt the movement from the outside world.

He missed the alert mission he was supposed to participate in and relied on other members of the Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion to help cover up the mistake.

Although he felt a little guilty, he was determined to focus on practice and improve his cultivation.

After practicing in seclusion for a year, Lu Yuan successfully reached the sixth level of the foundation building stage.

His spiritual power increased significantly, and his whole person seemed to become more solid and stronger.

During Lu Yuan's retreat, Su Liyan arranged the daily affairs of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion and planned to leave Tianfeng City for a long time to carry out important tasks.

She knew that as one of the core members of Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion, her departure would bring considerable pressure and burden to Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan."

Su Liyan stood at the door and said to Lu Yuan who was practicing, "I have decided to give you full responsibility for the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

Lu Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked up at Su Liyan.

He could feel the trust and dependence on him in her eyes.

"Senior Sister Su, please rest assured."

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "I will do my best to protect Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion and every member."

Su Liyan nodded. She believed that Lu Yuan would be able to handle this important task.

However, when Lu Yuan began to devote himself to the work of managing the Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion, he used detection techniques to discover an energy wave lurking nearby, which might pose a threat to the Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion.

He realized that this was definitely not a simple accident.

The existence of the Ghost Sect made him feel uneasy and nervous.

After Lu Yuan had a thorough understanding of the overall situation, he decided to return to practice and prepare to face the Ghost Sect. (End of chapter)
