The upgraded cage was forged from ten-thousand-year Xuan Iron.
Xuan Iron, one of the rarer minerals.
The older it is, the tougher it becomes.
Often, some higher-grade spiritual artifacts are made with this material.
However, the palm-sized spiritual artifact that Luo Changfeng had previously refined, half red and half white, shaped somewhat like a longsword,
Thus, it didn’t use ten-thousand-year Xuan Iron.
"The Initial Ghost’s mental state seems to have become somewhat worse than before…"
After observing for a long time,
Luo Changfeng reached this conclusion.
Then, he ignored the Initial Ghost that kept flailing about and howling,
and picked more than a dozen Blood Purgatory Grasses with very good growth.
After doing this, he transported himself back to the courtyard through the designated Teleportation Array.
In Qingshi City, under the Stone Pavilion within the courtyard exuding an ancient aura,
Luo Changfeng was standing in silence before a low-grade Yellow Furnace Cauldron.
After waving his hand, deep black flames rose beneath the cauldron.
Next was the process of attempting to refine the Qi-Blood Elixir.
Since the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect had become the number one sub-sect of the Da Feng Dynasty,
he found it much faster to apply to the Main Sect for various spiritual medicines,
at least tenfold more efficient than in the past.
After murmuring such to himself,
Luo Changfeng focused all his attention
on the Furnace Cauldron before him.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
Although a fierce sun was hanging in the sky, a bone-chilling cold could still be felt outside of Qingshi City.
However, within the Luo Family Ancestral Land and the Inner City of Qingshi City,
it was naturally like spring all year round.
With the aid of Cooling Charms,
experiencing severe cold or scorching heat was somewhat difficult.
But precisely because of this,
over time, the real estate prices within the Inner City of Qingshi City had gradually become higher and higher.
Moreover, with Luo An’s deliberate management,
real estate prices within the Inner City of Qingcheng Prefecture had soared to an unreasonable level.
Having one’s own house within the Inner City of Qingcheng Prefecture
was not merely a symbol of wealth; it was also a symbol of one’s own abilities.
After all, wanting to buy a house in the Inner City of Qingshi City,
just having money was not enough to get one.
Qingshi City, Luo Family Clan Land.
In a mysterious courtyard,
Luo Changfeng was sitting leisurely under the Stone Pavilion,
savoring the warm tea in his hand.
The refinement of the Qi-Blood Elixir was over.
More than three hundred attempts, and only five were successful.
The ratio was pathetically low.
Yet, this seemed to underscore the extraordinariness of the Qi-Blood Elixir.
If it failed, then so be it.
Luo Changfeng would have in his hands a miraculous pill that countless people would go mad for.
"Bring five practicing the Organ Refinement Realm here..."
Under the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng glanced at Yuan hidden in a corner and said in a low voice.
Yuan, upon hearing this, didn’t respond.
He merely nodded silently, then turned and left the place.
Approximately, it took only a few breaths’ time.
Within the courtyard, five cultivators of the Organ Refinement Realm appeared.
Three from the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage, one from the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage, and one from the Organ Refinement Late Stage.
These five individuals, who should hold high status within the Da Feng Dynasty, now each wore white prison garb,
their bodies shackled with heavy Xuan Iron chains that seemed heavy enough to crush the spirit of an Organ Refinement Realm cultivator.
"Release me, release me..."
"I am willing to submit to the Luo Family, I am willing, I am willing..."
After the five Organ Refinement Realm cultivators were brought before Luo Changfeng,
one immediately fell to the ground,
crawling desperately towards Luo Changfeng.
His face was the picture of distress,
his eyes filled with fear.
Mortals share five realms:
Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement, Blood Cultivation, and Mortal Transcendence.
In the vast Da Feng Dynasty, the Organ Refinement Realm is already quite high.
In many places, one could even be referred to as an old patriarch.
If willing to join other powers, one could even be honored as a distinguished guest.
as long as someone’s practice reaches the Organ Refinement Realm, they could receive endless respect and hospitality.
Only, with Luo Changfeng,
all of this seemed somewhat different.
The sound of the chains being pulled taut suddenly rose.
Luo Changfeng looked over the five people in front of him.
He quietly picked up a teapot and poured five cups of warm tea,
dropping a bright red Qi-Blood Elixir into each.
Continue your adventure with empire
The Qi-Blood Elixirs quickly dissolved into the tea.
The originally clear tea
turned into a blood-red liquid instantly with the addition of the Qi-Blood Elixir.
Luo Changfeng looked at the five people before him.
One cultivator from the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage, who was relatively tough, gritted his teeth,
then stepped forward and took a cup of the blood-red tea from the stone table.
He tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.
After a few breaths, that cultivator’s face suddenly turned a shade of red,
then he quietly fell to the ground.
He did not explode and die, but the attempt to refine the Qi-Blood Elixir was still a failure.
