The beast tide is imminent, and the entire Great Dream Immortal City is bustling with activity.
As the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Lingxiao was the first to publish a reward notice, heavily inviting cultivators to guard the city, hunt demons, as well as recruit skilled Second Rank Alchemists, Talisman Masters, Artifact Refiners, and the like.
After all, a beast tide is akin to war, and war always requires essentials like elixir dicines, talismans, and magic artifacts.
However, the most sought after are still the Array Masters.
The beast tide doesn’t only attack Great Dream Immortal City but affects the entire Great Dream Marsh.
Apart from so islands in extrely dangerous locations, where evacuation is the only option, nobody wishes to abandon their family businesses that have been established over decades or even centuries if there’s any hope of survival.
In such circumstances, the importance of Array Masters becos evident.
Not only can they temporarily reinforce formations, enhancing the power of great formations, but they can also set up multiple formations around the islands for defense against the beast tide.
Lu Family’s Array Master Ling Zixiao, together with Hong Lian, was the first to reinforce the great formation of Great Dream Immortal City, temporarily increasing its power so that when a Fourth Rank Demon King attacks, Lu Changsheng can push the great formation to its limits.
Besides Ling Zixiao, other cultivators of the Lu Family were not idle either.
Lu Wangshu and Lu Miaoge devoted all their ti and effort to talisman making.
Now, having broken through to Core Formation, Lu Miaoge’s talisman making level had improved from the forr Second Rank Top Level to a Third Rank Talisman Master.
ng Xiaochan and Nangong Mili were busy refining many materials Lu Changsheng had brought back into poisons.
Nangong Mili, being a Nascent Soul Cultivator, besides refining Gu and poison making, is also sowhat knowledgeable in alchemy and incense making, qualifying as a Second Rank Alchemist and Incense Master.
...
"Pffft!"
On the boundless sea, Lu Qingshan heard the sounds of fighting and screams from afar. Without hesitation, he transford into a sword light and sliced through the air, delivering a sword light that made all cultivators fighting spill blood.
In recent days, as the beast tide approached, many cultivators chose to leave Great Dream Immortal City to avoid danger, while many rushed to the city to take up posted tasks, resulting in an increased rate of chaos caused by robber cultivators.
Faced with this situation, Lu Lingxiao promptly went to Dragon Fish Island to find the secluding cultivator Lu Qingshan to request his help in law enforcent.
Understanding that this Great Dream Immortal City was his family’s property, Lu Qingshan naturally did not refuse.
These days, one person and one sword patrolled the boundless sea. Whenever there was fighting, a sword would go first, followed by the arrival of law enforcent cultivators to clean up.
Not only Lu Qingshan, but Lu Qingyan and several Lu Family disciples also took this opportunity to join the Immortal City Law Enforcent Team, patrolling with their bred Black Dragon Daoist Soldiers.
Though she is only in Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage.
But with the support of over a hundred bred Black Dragon Daoist Soldiers, even Foundation Establishnt Late Stage cultivators were not her match in the waters of Great Dream Marsh.
...
City Lord Mansion, Artifact Refinent Room.
Lu Changsheng, controlling the Thunder Gang Dragon Fla, was casting spells at the Treasure Forging Platform, while his son Lu Minghuang observed nearby.
Although he had just begun cultivation and hadn’t systematically studied artifact refining, it was vital to start training early.
Therefore, during these days of magic artifact refining, Lu Changsheng called him over to watch and gain insight.
"Buzzing!"
After so ti, on the massive black gold Treasure Forging Platform, a crossbow, deep and dark in color, inlaid with a Third Rank Demon Pill, with dense runes flowing on it, circulated.
This was a magic artifact Lu Changsheng had crafted, as described in the "Divine chanism Hundred Refinent Technique," emulating the [Demon Hunting Crossbow].
This crossbow arrow was forged from Netherworld Iron and inlaid with a Third Rank Demon Pill, possessing effects like break demon, break technique, armor-piercing, erosion of demonic power, and corruption of flesh, while also boasting tracking and explosive effects.
Even if the Demon King escapes initially, Lu Changsheng can still pursue and even detonate the Third Rank Demon Pill inlaid on it.
However, ti was tight, and he couldn’t refine multiple Demon Hunting Crossbows due to a lack of materials.
"Minghuang, this crossbow is nad the Demon Hunting Crossbow..."
At this mont, Lu Changsheng tossed the Demon Hunting Crossbow into his son Lu Minghuang’s hands to explain the general principles.
Though too profound for Lu Minghuang, like listening to a heavenly book, once he later delves into artifact refining and improves his level, these concepts and knowledge will naturally surface in his mind.
After crafting the Demon Hunting Crossbow, Lu Changsheng began refining the second magic artifact, [Demon Binding Lock].
To hunt a Demon King, a critical issue was ensuring they didn’t have the opportunity to self-destruct.
Like the previous hunt for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King by ng Wuheng and his wife, or the Four Great Immortal Sects and Azure Phoenix Immortal City encircling the Double-headed Flood Dragon, preparations of this kind were made.
However, due to limited ti, Lu Changsheng could only manage so much.
Otherwise, with ample ti and materials, he could have emulated the Three Treasures of Demon Extermination, the Demon-slaying Sword, the Demon Suppressing Tower, and the Demon Mirror as recorded in the "Divine chanism Hundred Refinent Technique," ensuring a thoroughly prepared hunt for the Demon King!
While Lu Changsheng continued refining demon extermination treasures, the first wave of the beast tide gradually struck.
The initial beast tide was mostly low-rank demon beasts, without Demon Kings, and rarely any Second Rank Top Level demon beasts, posing little threat to cultivators and even serving as a boon.
Unless a cultivator encountered a beast herd alone, they could generally resist.
Moreover, the news of the incoming beast tide had spread early in the months leading up to it.
The Four Great Immortal Sects, Azure Phoenix Immortal City, Danxia Mountain, Huan Yin Sect, even including the Beast Taming Xu Family, Shendao Shangguan Family, and White Deer Ning Family, all called on their disciples and mbers to go to Great Dream Marsh to hunt demon beasts.
After all, for elite disciples with so strength, this early beast tide served both as an excellent place for experience and as a lucrative opportunity.
In this process, Lu Changsheng never erged from closed-door cultivation, leaving his son Lu Lingxiao and others to take charge and handle the situation.
