Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 112 - 103: Keeping a Low Profile [4th Release, Please Subscribe!]
All over his body, a faint metallic sheen flickered. His flesh had been forged a thousand times over, achieving an Iron Refining Body.
This is the "Iron Refining Body".
On Lu Qingfeng's chest, a demon god with the head of a beast and the body of a man, clad in red scales, with fire snakes as earrings and standing on fire dragons, emerged. As it roared, winds rose between heaven and earth, sweeping thoughts into the mouth of the demon god.
Even the wisps of black smoke arising from Lu Qingfeng's body were devoured by the demon god.
A look of satisfaction appeared on the face of the demon god, and the flames on its body grew even more intense.
This is the "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill", and this demon god is one of the twelve demon gods refined by Lu Qingfeng — Zhu Rong Demon God.
Boom boom boom!
The cultivation technique operated, the True Qi within his body continuously thickened, and the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pills was quickly refined.
Three cultivation techniques were cultivated simultaneously under the rule of 'total control of all techniques', without any conflict.
However, there was a significant consumption of elixirs.

"A common True Qi Realm Sixth Layer Cultivator swallowing top-level elixirs such as Qi Gathering Pills would concentrate on refining for at least three to five days, and up to ten days or half a month, firstly to fully absorb the medicinal power and secondly to carefully handle the elixir's toxic properties."
"But for me, running three top-level techniques simultaneously makes refining medicinal powers effortless. Top-level techniques also have methods to eliminate the toxicity of the elixirs, like the piercing Sword Qi of 'Luofu Sword Scripture'. The demon gods created by the 'Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill' can even feed on the toxicity of the elixirs, using the despised toxic properties to enhance their own strength."
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes and exhaled a three-foot long white sword aura from his mouth.
It immediately dissipated into the air and vanished.
…
Time passed.
Lu Qingfeng moved between reality and the game.
In reality, he cultivated.
"Luofu Sword Scripture" is a sword cultivation method, producing fierce True Qi.
It's a pity that Lu Qingfeng has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment; otherwise, by refining the Luofu Heart Lamp, his cultivation speed could be further accelerated.
"Iron Refining Body" is a pure body refining technique, commonly known as the Body to Saint Method. Once refined, even cultivators of the same level or those with higher cultivation levels would find it difficult to affect his physical body. Flying swords and magic spells landing on his body would feel like scratching an itch. He fears neither swords nor spears, nor is he harmed by water or fire, which is incredibly powerful.
The "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill" is one-third body refining, one-third qi refining, and the last four parts are refining the spirit. When running the cultivation method and visualizing the demon god, once cultivated, it gathers the thoughts of all the Heavenly Demon Gods and has the greatest impact. If he were to stay on Jinyun Mountain, he might easily be discovered by the Foundation Establishment Elders or the Spirit Void Sect Master Zhou Yuan.
Being in Silver Horn Mountain, however, he doesn't have these concerns and can cultivate unrestrained.
In the game,
Lu Qingfeng discovered the second-layer derivation technique's analysis function, while roaming everywhere to temper himself, he searched for various elixirs, magic artifacts, and even didn't overlook demon beast and spiritual beast corpses.
Although most of the analyses yielded useless techniques, the cumulative gains over time were still significant.
As for alchemy and artifact refining, he had put them aside for the time being.
Being a Fourth-rank Alchemist was sufficient for Lu Qingfeng to benefit at the Foundation Establishment and even at the Spirit Void levels.
But this doesn't mean he completely stopped working on them, unlike previous lives where he focused solely on cultivation, alchemy, and artifact refining.
Rather than frantically advancing his craftsmanship in alchemy and artifacts, he only refined game-related elixirs and magic artifacts needed for his own cultivation. The rest of the time, he devoted to traveling and gaining experience in different places.
Game time passed quickly.
Although Lu Qingfeng traveled extensively, he was careful in his dealings, did not provoke any troubles, and followed the principle of keeping a low profile.
Reality is even more so.
Once entering Luoxia Sect, he stayed in Silver Horn Mountain and seldom left home.
Such behavior even surprised the elders and the Sect Master of Luoxia Sect. Normally, young cultivators do not have the patience to sit in seclusion in their mountain cave dwellings.
Cultivation is urgent, yet it is also a tedious affair.
Going out to wander is essential to adjust one's mental state.
This provides both relaxation and tension, which is beneficial for cultivation. Young cultivators are even less patient.
But Lu Qingfeng was entirely different.
Only when the elders of Luoxia Sect visited Silver Horn Mountain could they meet this newly-appointed Minister Elder. At other times, for matters that needed coordination, such as elixir pills, spiritual medicine, magic artifacts, and refining materials, Lu Qingfeng was nowhere to be seen; instead, Wang Yuan, the deacon of Silver Horn Mountain Medicine Garden, handled them.
The minor deacon's status suddenly soared.
Lu Qingfeng kept a low profile.
But the name of Lu Qingfeng from Silver Horn Mountain gradually spread throughout Luoxia Sect—
It started with the announcement within the sect that Minister Elder Lu Qingfeng was cultivating in Silver Horn Mountain.
Subsequently, a small quantity of high-quality elixir pills produced by Silver Horn Mountain appeared in the sect, followed by various levels of elixir pills and magic artifacts appearing as rewards for sect missions.
Whether it was elixir pills or magic artifacts, the quality was far superior to others of the same rank, with the highest cost-performance ratio, garnering much pursuit.
The number of disciples and elders who went to Silver Horn Mountain seeking Lu Qingfeng to refine magic artifacts and elixir pills for them gradually increased. Lu Qingfeng charged fair prices compared to Luoxia Sect's only two First-rank Alchemists and one First-rank Artifact Refiner.
He neither overcharged nor wronged his fellow cultivators.
Aside from personal use, some of the refined elixir pills were sold through the market controlled by Luoxia Sect, selling to loose cultivators around Juyun Mountain Range, earning cultivation resources.
Cultivation resources refer not only to alchemy materials but also include spirit stones and various refining materials.
Spider Puppets stayed in the Crying Swamp to mine various ores and spirit stones. However, spirit stones were hard to find; Lu Qingfeng had fifty Spider Puppets recklessly searching in the deserted Crying Swamp.
After over seven years, only fifty-three spirit stones had been mined in total.
It was purely a stroke of luck.
The same was true for various materials.
Low-level materials were easy to find but demanded in large quantities, making it very inefficient to mine using Spider Puppets. Mid to high-level materials were scarce and not always available. Lu Qingfeng mastered sixteen puppet refining methods, and even the weakest after enhancement were at the Foundation Establishment Level, but before leaving Crying Swamp and entering Juyun Mountain Range, the strongest puppet he could refine was only a Level 5 Profound Sword Puppet.
Stronger Dharma Image, Wanxiang Puppets, or even Tiger Demon Puppets couldn't be refined due to incomplete materials.
Now that he had settled in Luoxia Sect, he could start gathering the lacking materials for refinement. Although Lu Qingfeng's current strength was extremely formidable, having a Spirit Void Level Tiger Demon Puppet or even ten such puppets by his side meant that within the entire Juyun Mountain Range, he need not fear anyone.
Although Luoxia Sect treated him quite well, since this is reality and one only lives once, relying on a newly encountered small sect for life and safety is obviously not as reliable as strengthening oneself and preparing more bases.
Aside from elixir pills and puppets.
Lu Qingfeng was also collecting materials to refine the Seven Evils Banner.
The Seven Evils Banner was originally a First Rank magic artifact, but after enhancement, it could compare to a Second Rank magic artifact. Once the Seven Evil Ghosts were conjured, there would be no match within the Foundation Establishment Stage. Whether for slaying enemies or self-defense, it is a top-tier magic artifact.
Ordinary cultivators couldn't achieve quick success, but Lu Qingfeng, after collecting incense fire and refining Heavenly Silver in Upper Sun Country, could quickly enhance the strength of the Seven Evil Ghosts, maximizing the power of the artifact.
This was a shortcut for quickly transforming incense fire into combat power.
Speaking of incense fire.
Before Lu Qingfeng left Upper Sun Country, due to material limitations, he only managed to refine three Ancestor Master Statues, which were enshrined in the Ancestral Hall of Qingyuan Sword Sect.
