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

In the valley where Lu Yuan was undergoing his tribulation, several immortal cultivators were exploring the surrounding situation. They found some strange signs, but could not determine what exactly had happened.

At the same time, Lu Yuan was already on his way back to Mengyuan City. He needed to heal his injuries as soon as possible because the dangers in the wild still existed.

A ray of golden light flew across the valley, attracting the attention of several immortal cultivators.

One of the monks frowned, staring at the direction of the golden light, feeling very confused.

"What's going on with this golden light?"

"Is there any precious treasure?"

Another monk raised his hand and pointed: "Look there, there seem to be some traces, not like those left by ordinary birds or beasts."

The three of them quickly walked towards the location of the golden light, and saw a stone with ancient runes engraved on it, flashing a faint golden light.

"This is……"

"The runes on the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword!"

A monk exclaimed.

"Could it be that a monk has cast a powerful spell here?"

The other monk had a sharp look in his eyes, full of worry.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew and blew away the runes on the stone, leaving only a few lines of blurry text in front of the monks.

A monk's face changed, "Could it be..."

"Is there a cultivator here who is transcending the tribulation?"

The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

They knew that the time of tribulation was when a cultivator's strength was at its weakest, and if an accident occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the same time, on the way back to Mengyuan City, Lu Yuan tightly grasped the "Cold Jade Ice Flakes", trying his best to resist the severe pain caused by the injury.

He knew in his heart that this was the most dangerous moment and if he was not careful he might be in danger or even lose his life.

"I can't fall down. Zi Xi'er is waiting for me."

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth and used his willpower to support his weak body, not wanting to worry his beloved.

In the streets and alleys of Mengyuan City, people were whispering and talking.

The mysterious events rumored from the valley made the residents of the city curious, but also full of fear and caution.

"Did you hear that?"

"Something strange is going on in that valley!"

"Yes, I heard that some cultivators went to investigate, but never came back."

"Could it be that a demon appeared there?"

Rumors spread and the atmosphere in the city became tense.

However, in these discussions, no one mentioned Lu Yuan's tribulation, as if he had disappeared in the silence.

Lu Yuan urgently needs to go to Xuantian Sect to become its outer disciple in order to use the spiritual weapon he had exchanged before, but his contribution points are few and far between. He needs to rush to the sect as soon as possible to obtain more contribution points.

In the market town, Lu Yuan began to buy materials for alchemy and learned about the levels of immortal practitioners in various places through communicating with the shop assistants.

He found that his level of alchemy and weapon forging in Zhongzhou was relatively ordinary, but his level of formation was slightly stronger.

Then, he accidentally discovered a shop selling calligraphy and paintings. The calligraphy and paintings in the shop contained the power of heaven and earth and had powerful attack power.

After purchasing the alchemy materials, Lu Yuan came to the shop selling calligraphy and paintings. There was a sign hanging at the door of the shop that read "Tian Di Ling Fu Fang".

He pushed open the door of the shop and a faint fragrance wafted to his face. A middle-aged man in a gorgeous Taoist robe was standing behind the counter, sorting out calligraphy and paintings.

"Hello, what does this guest need?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered as he noticed that every piece of calligraphy and painting seemed to contain a mysterious power.

He pointed to a painting on the counter and said, "This painting looks extraordinary. Can you tell me what it does?"

The shop owner smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a talisman in my shop, called the 'Tiangang Thunder Talisman'. It contains the power of thunder and can release powerful lightning attacks in critical moments. It's comparable to the magic weapon of a Jindan-stage cultivator." Lu Yuan's heart moved, he knew that such a talisman would be of great benefit to his practice.

After asking the price, he immediately took out a bag of spirit stones to pay and put the "Tian Gang Thunder Talisman" in his pocket.

Just after leaving the "Tian Di Ling Fu Fang", Lu Yuan suddenly felt an ominous aura chasing after him.

He turned quickly and saw a dark shadow coming towards him.

He dodged hurriedly and waved the "Tiangang Thunder Talisman" in his hand at the same time. A bright thunder flashed out and shook the black shadow back.

"It seems that this 'Tian Gang Thunder Talisman' is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Yuan secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he also realized that he had to be more vigilant when he was out there.

That night, Lu Yuan practiced in seclusion in the inn alone. He activated the "Five Elements Escape" spell, and the aura around him gradually condensed, as if it had merged into the entire earth.

He felt his own cultivation improving, and his determination to move forward became stronger.

Lu Yuan met Ning Chen again, and he told Lu Yuan that he had joined a sect called Wenquyuan. The sect focused on the study of calligraphy and painting, and did not pursue fame, but focused on one's original heart.

The two discussed many issues concerning the world of immortal cultivation and spirit stones.

Ning Chen asked Lu Yuan why he didn't use the teleportation array to reach his destination, but Lu Yuan explained that his destination was different from where the elders who brought him were going, and that the teleportation array was expensive to use.

"Ning Chen, have you joined Wenqu Academy?"

Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Ning Chen nodded and said confidently: "Yes, there are many like-minded people there who focus on the study of art and are not affected by worldly fame and fortune."

Lu Yuan was secretly envious, and he also hoped to find a home that truly belonged to him.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue exploring the world of immortal cultivation and find his own path.

"What are your plans?"

Ning Chen asked with concern.

"I plan to find a way to earn spirit stones. Maybe I can find inspiration from alchemy or refining equipment."

Lu Yuan answered honestly.

Ning Chen smiled slightly, "Perhaps you can consider becoming a pulse finder, which is one of the most profitable professions in Zhongzhou."

Lu Yuan's heart moved. Pulse finder?
He recalled hearing about the profession, but he wasn't sure if he had the qualifications.

"Pulse finder?"

he asked hesitantly.

"Yes, they can find spiritual veins and explore treasures. They are very popular professions."

Ning Chen explained.

Lu Yuan thought about it, he knew that he was not unfamiliar with the art of detection, perhaps this was his chance.

"Maybe I can give it a try."

He made up his mind.

Lu Yuan and Ning Chen were chatting while sipping tea.

Lu Yuan decided to visit various immortal cultivation cities to make pills during his journey of cultivating immortals.

To accumulate the spirit stones needed for teleportation.

Although such a plan would take a long time for him.

But he was willing to accept the challenge.

He realized that he needed to improve his alchemy skills.

In order to accumulate wealth faster.

He wanted to visit some famous alchemists.

I hope to learn more skills from them. (End of this chapter)
