After discussing, Liu Qiui and Lu Zhiwei decided that during this artifact crafting, they would primarily refine so Tier Three and Tier Four spiritual artifacts.
A small quantity of Tier Two spiritual artifacts, about twenty pieces, would suffice.
The remaining demon beast corpses could be processed, unified under ice, and slowly refined into spiritual artifacts later when needed.
This ti, with Liu Qiui involved in artifact crafting, it wouldn’t genuinely overwork the other party.
In succession, six Tier Three top-grade spiritual artifacts and two Tier Four middle-grade spiritual artifacts were produced.
According to Liu Qiui’s artifact refining mastery, crafting these artifacts was exceedingly simple.
However, on the second day of artifact refining, the originally calm sect protection array suddenly suffered an external attack.
Zhang Nianchuan wielded a sword light, landing outside the artifact refining room.
"Sect Leader, Hengyue Sect is invading!"
A report fell clearly into the ears of Lu Yuanshan and the other two.
The three had just finished the last round of artifact refining and were resting when they heard Zhang Nianchuan’s report, causing their expressions to tighten.
"Hengyue Sect, that Foundation Establishnt sect within the Chu Kingdom?"
Liu Qiui wasn’t very familiar with Hengyue Sect, but she knew of its existence; in her view, Hengyue Sect was quite weak.
Sending any junior brother or sister could easily eradicate Hengyue Sect.
"Hengyue Sect’s wild ambitions can no longer be contained, it seems."
A chill flashed in Lu Zhiwei’s eyes, but her expression remained exceptionally calm.
"Nianchuan, what’s the strength of the forces they’ve sent this ti?"
Lu Zhiwei inquired, her interest in artifact refining having already vanished.
Zhang Nianchuan replied, "The Sect Leader of Hengyue Sect personally leads the team, aside from one Crystallization Stage cultivator like him, there is also a middle-aged cultivator who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage."
"The remaining more than three hundred people are all Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators."
"Li Zhenyue has broken through to the Crystallization Stage?"
Lu Yuanshan expressed a bit of surprise at the advancent of Li Zhenyue’s strength.
However, that was about it.
Isn’t this fool aware that Cyan Mountain Sect now has two Crystallization cultivators in one sect?
Where does he get the confidence to attack Cyan Mountain Sect at this ti?
"Sect Leader, I’m guessing it’s because the Sect Establishnt Order’s protection period expired, and Hengyue Sect couldn’t hold back any longer."
Zhang Nianchuan speculated.
If it weren’t for Li Zhenyue personally leading, Zhang Nianchuan could have handled these invaders all by himself.
"Let’s go and take a look together."
Lu Yuanshan spoke up, "The conflict between Cyan Mountain Sect and them must be resolved eventually."
"Yes."
Lu Zhiwei and Liu Qiui both nodded.
The four each rode a sword light and flew towards the sect’s mountain gate.
Upon reaching the sect’s mountain gate, they found that a dozen or so disciples of Cyan Mountain Sect had already gathered here.
"Hahaha, the cultivators of Cyan Mountain Sect are truly a bunch of cowards, isn’t anyone willing to co out and fight?"
"Let’s see how long you can hide!"
The person making a move was a newly promoted Foundation Establishnt cultivator from Hengyue Sect nad Master Wu Min.
He was wielding a black flying sword, relentlessly attacking the sect protection array of Cyan Mountain Sect, not holding back, exerting full force.
Due to the fortification of the sect protection array, Lu Yuanshan and Liu Qiui jointly set up the Grand Five Elents Fiery Sword Array, making Cyan Lotus Mountain as solid as a fortress.
Even if a Golden Core Ancestor attacked, they wouldn’t be able to break this array, let alone a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
As a result, after multiple attacks without shaking the sect protection array, Wu Minshi, shocked, resorted to using a taunting technique to provoke the disciples of Cyan Mountain Sect inside the array, trying to lure them out.
"Cyan Mountain Sect has yet to seek retribution from your Hengyue Sect, yet today you co seeking trouble."
Lu Yuanshan stood firmly at the mountain gate, a light brush of his sleeve causing the array to ripple as its barrier opened.
"Let’s settle past grievances today!"
As Lu Yuanshan’s voice fell, the Grand Five Elents Fiery Sword Array protecting Cyan Mountain Sect was temporarily withdrawn.
"Hahaha, what do you an seeking trouble, you talk tough even on the brink of death!"
Wu Minshi was montarily stunned seeing Lu Yuanshan open the array himself.
But soon in his heart, he secretly cursed Lu Yuanshan for being foolish, thinking that opening the array was courting death.
The Cyan Mountain Sect Leader appeared overly confident, daring to open the array voluntarily.
Where does he get the confidence to withstand the attacks of his own Sect Leader?
Despite such thoughts, Wu Minshi evidently had no intention to say much.
He first glanced at Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, and Liu Qiui.
First using divine sense to probe Lu Yuanshan’s cultivation level, only to find the probe felt like touching an endless ocean, unable to discern Lu Yuanshan’s cultivation rank.
This made him frown.
Next, when probing Lu Zhiwei with divine sense, it was the sa.
When his gaze landed on Liu Qiui, not having seen Liu Qiui before, Wu Minshi squinted and directly skipped over her.
"Are you Liu Qiui from Nine Cold Mountain?"
Although Wu Minshi couldn’t identify Liu Qiui, Li Zhenyue recognized her after a few glances, his expression instantly becoming surprised.
"Yes."
Liu Qiui’s expression was calm, her tone unwavering.
She glanced at Lu Yuanshan before sweeping over Li Zhenyue and the Hengyue Sect cultivators, "Sir, please leave, don’t cause any trouble here."
Upon hearing Liu Qiui was from Nine Cold Mountain, Wu Minshi and several Hengyue Sect cultivators’ expressions changed.
How many Liu Qiui’s are there in the Chu Kingdom?
Why would Elder Jiang’s prized disciple appear at Cyan Mountain Sect?
At once, the Hengyue Sect cultivators were filled with caution.
Hengyue Sect had no confidence to oppose Nine Cold Mountain, not even the courage to contend.
"Elder Liiu, this is a feud between Hengyue Sect and Cyan Mountain Sect, we ask you not to intervene."
Li Zhenyue showed a serious expression, cupping his hands towards Liu Qiui.
He was quite apprehensive of Liu Qiui, thinking it unwise to disrespect her.
Liu Qiui, hearing this, rely cast a faint glance at Li Zhenyue.
She perceived his First-Layer Crystallization cultivation clearly,
even if she didn’t intervene, for Li Zhenyue to contend with Cyan Mountain Sect was evidently seeking trouble.
Not to ntion Lu Yuanshan, who in the past on the Southern Wilderness Battlefield slaughtered Crystallization Stage demon beasts like dogs, and now at Seventh-Layer Crystallization Stage, he possessed the power to slay opponents at the late Crystallization Stage.
Li Zhenyue and his group combined were no match for Lu Zhiwei, let alone Lu Yuanshan.
"Since Elder Liiu did not respond, she consents by default."
Seeing Liu Qiui not respond, Li Zhenyue decided to first show courtesy then force, "Thank you!"
Liu Qiui secretly sighed.
If Cyan Mountain Sect lacked the power to withstand Hengyue Sect’s invasion, she would indeed be willing to intervene.
However, under the current circumstances, Liu Qiui’s intervention was entirely unnecessary.
