Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 116 - 107: Status (8th update, subscribe!)

This technique greatly references the traces of the Twelve Ancestor Witches from the Primordial Witch Clan, summoning Demon Gods named 'Zhu Rong', 'Emperor Jiang', etc., each possessing correlated powers.

As Lu Qingfeng actually summoned the Zhu Rong Demon God in reality, he acquired control over the power of flames, capable of wielding the Dutian Fierce Fire and Zhu Rong Divine Flame with immense might.

At the Side Door Level, it is comparable to High-level Techniques.

At the True Sect Level, it compares to Super Techniques.

Now advanced to the Mysterious Level, when Lu Qingfeng unleashes the Zhu Rong Demon God to incite the Zhu Rong Divine Flame, its power nearly rivals Divine Skills, truly considered the pinnacle of Super-level Techniques.

Moreover, the Demon God's demonic nature is stronger, its spiritual wisdom more abundant, offering Lu Qingfeng unparalleled assistance in battle unlike during the Side Door Level.

The sole drawback is, as the grade of the Cultivation Technique increases, the summoned Demon God's demonic nature intensifies, requiring higher mental resilience from the cultivators of this technique.

A single moment of carelessness, if thoughts are infiltrated by demonic ideas or the Demon God backlashes, would lead to irredeemable disaster.

In the game, Lu Qingfeng repeatedly experienced Spirit Void Heart Movement and Spirit Void Divine Silence, reaching mental maturity; confident he could control the Demon Technique without being backlashed before reaching the Jiedan Level.

In reality, since Lu Qingfeng remains at the True Qi Realm, he isolates the demonic thoughts entirely, suppressing the Zhu Rong Demon God tightly, with no worries of backlash.

Excluding the mysterious-level Luo Fu Sword Scripture and Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill.

The final 'Iron Refining Body' technique, originally a Basic Level Cultivation Technique, has been enhanced to True Sect Level, where the invested Experience Value is astronomical. Further enhancement is not cost-effective, luckily the True Sect Level Body Refining Techniques are sufficient for now, so there's no rush to enhance further.

Remaining Experience Value is used to exchange and enhance various Magic Gates.

Achievements in the past three hundred years have been remarkable.

Yet Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level has stalled, constantly wavering between the early stages of Heart Movement and the peak of Divine Silence.

Seeing that in his eighth lifetime, Lu Qingfeng has already aged seven hundred and fifty-eight years with no hope of reaching Core Formation in this lifetime, he can only strive anew in the next life.

However, this lifetime was not wasted—

Various Magic Gates and Divine Skills have significantly solidified Lu Qingfeng's foundation.

Besides Cultivation, he practiced various techniques and Divine Skills. Ordinary cultivators may master an initial or middle-level technique in three to five months and take years, even decades, to proficiently wield them.

But Lu Qingfeng had more time.

Continuously practicing, he accumulated and refined techniques over copious amounts of time; even though higher-level techniques, super-level techniques, and Divine Skills were more challenging, he managed to master one in ten or twenty years. Over the years, he acquired mastery over quite a few Divine and Super-level Techniques.

Once engaged in battle, his myriad techniques and Divine Skills would indeed catch his opponent off-guard and overwhelmed.

...

Living in the 'Primordial', time seemed to pass unnoticed.

It wasn't until Lu Qingfeng sensed a Foundation Establishment Stage aura approaching in reality that he returned from the 'Primordial'.

Half an hour had already passed in the real world.

Lu Qingfeng looked up to see tunneling light and sword light flickering in the distance. Leading them was none other than the Sect Master of Luoxia Sect, Zhou Yuan, followed closely by three Supreme Elders and a group of Elders, landing on the viewing platform.

"Elder Lu arrives so early."

Zhou Yuan landed and said with a smile to Lu Qingfeng.

"Elder Lu pays respects to the Sect Master."

Lu Qingfeng bowed in response.

"Elder Lu."

The Elders behind Zhou Yuan also greeted Lu Qingfeng, who responded to each one.

"This is Elder Lu's first time participating in the sect's minor competition, we forgot to remind you, it's our mistake."

Supreme Second Elder Mei Qingyan's voice was robust and loud.

Lu Qingfeng looked puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Supreme Elder Yue Lingxi stepped forward to explain, "In the past competitions, disciples were to arrive at Lunfa Peak half an hour early, while we would arrive half an hour later to allow these disciples to calm their restless hearts. Elder Lu, residing deep in Silver Horn Mountain, forgot to notify us, causing Elder Lu to wait here in vain for half an hour, which is truly—"

Yue Lingxi shook her head, other elders showed more or less an apologetic expression.

Although this issue is not significant, it's hard to guarantee that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't harbor some grievances.

Currently, not only is Lu Qingfeng a Second Rank Refining Master and a Second Rank Alchemist in Luoxia Sect, but he is also unique across the entire Juyun Mountain Range. There might be Second Rank Alchemists and Second Rank Refining Masters, but it's impossible to find a second cultivator who is both a master in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, having reached the Second Rank in both aspects.

The elders also wished to obtain a few Second Rank Elixir Pills from Lu Qingfeng, or gather materials and ask Lu Qingfeng to help refine a Second Rank Magic Artifact, certainly not to inconvenience him, nor to cause any misunderstanding.

"So it is."

Lu Qingfeng understood and laughed, "This isn't anyone's fault. It was my little sister urging to come to Lunfa Peak earlier. Unable to resist her, I accompanied her here first."

"So it's Qingyu Immortal."

"The young lady loves lively scenes; it's normal."

Mei Qingyan laughed it off, and the brief episode was put behind them.

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats. Zhou Yuan, seeing Lu Qingfeng going to the last seat, waved his hand and said, "Elder Lu, over here."

"This—"

Lu Qingfeng was taken aback.

Beside him, Yue Lingxi, with a raspy voice, chuckled, "Elder Lu, being unmatched in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining, if outsiders know you are seated in the very last place in our Luoxia Sect, we would be the laughingstock!"

"Indeed!"

"Elder Lu, please do not refuse."

The other elders echoed the sentiment.

Lu Qingfeng, with a wry smile, found it difficult to refuse. He bowed to everyone and took the seat to the left of Zhou Yuan, at the foremost.

"Truly fitting for Elder Lu, what great esteem."

"Yes! With this, he has indeed left the three Supreme Elders behind."

"With the stature of a Second Rank Alchemist and Refining Master, if it were an ordinary person, it would have caused dissatisfaction long ago. However, with Elder Lu sitting there, even the three Supreme Elders are convinced, not to mention Elder Zhang Cheng, Mo Han, and Gu Qin; no one objects. The significance of a Second Rank Alchemist and Refining Master is indeed not light!"

...

As the Sect Master and all the elders arrived, the disciples at Lunfa Peak had already focused their attention on the high platform.

Seeing Elder Lu from Silver Horn Mountain receiving respect from everyone and even sitting at the most honorable seat aside from the Sect Master, they couldn't help but discuss.

In the crowd.

Lu Qingyu stood quietly, a look of pride appearing on her face.

Beside her, Lu Qingshan saw this, feeling a mixture of pride and envy.

His elder brother has always been indifferent to fame, yet he has always been respected and honored everywhere. Compared to his elder brother, he fell far short, unsure of when he might receive such treatment.

"Elder Lu is truly deserving of his reputation."

Upon witnessing this, Zhang Ye spoke out, and Lu Qingyu's face showed even greater pride.

"Now it's time to see the contributions of the elders!"

Qian Yunhai was fully attentive.

In fact, this was also the most anticipated moment for all the disciples in every Lunfa Peak competition.

On the high platform.

Zhou Yuan looked around, his gaze firstly landing on Yue Miaoyin, "Elder Yue, as you are newly appointed, what have you prepared as a reward for this competition?"

Although Yue Miaoyin entered the Sect early, she had the least seniority among the elders and was not very wealthy. Zhou Yuan started with her, intending to toss a figurative brick to attract jade, and also to avoid putting Yue Miaoyin in an awkward situation due to any potential financial embarrassment.
