Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 90 - 85: White Rock Mountain [Seeking Recommendations!]
"Spirit Void!"
"Almost there!"
After spending several days stabilizing his cultivation within the new realm, Lu Qingfeng stepped out of his cave abode.
It had been eleven years since he came to Panlong Mountain. During these eleven years, there hadn't been significant changes on Panlong Mountain, except that besides Han Lin, Lu Qingfeng had taken on seven more disciples from the mundane world to the mountain.
Among these seven disciples, some had not yet started cultivating, while others were at the Fetal Breathing Realm and the True Qi Realm.
Over the years, Lu Qingfeng had traveled from Fufeng Mountain to Panlong Mountain and collected a good number of cultivation techniques, mainly of the Refined Level with very few being of the Side Door Level, yet all of them were incomplete. Where others hesitated, Lu Qingfeng decisively took them.
He then selected a few from these cultivation techniques for initial enhancement and, after raising them to the Side Door Level, passed them on to his disciples.
Based on the disciples' performance in cultivating these techniques, he compared their advantages and disadvantages, then judiciously practiced or fused them with the Luofu Sword Scripture, saving a great deal of Lu Qingfeng's effort.
For these disciples, this was by no means a bad thing.
Side Door Level Skills, even if incomplete, were not something they could have access to.
Take Han Lin for example, who previously followed a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator and practiced only Basic Level skills like the Dawn Secret Manual, which were just slightly stronger than the Flame Sun Scripture or the Green Wood Technique. Now with Side Door Level Skills, his strength more than doubled with equivalent cultivation!
After switching to Side Door Level Skills, Han Lin, who was the first to become Lu Qingfeng's disciple, had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm two years ago under his guidance. Han Lin, who was taken in as a disciple by Daoist Sun Jiu, had a decent Root Bone to start with, scored five points. After joining Lu Qingfeng, with guidance from a skilled master and ample resources, achieving Foundation Establishment was merely a matter of time.
Of the other seven disciples, due to time spent in the sect, only two who were originally in the True Qi Realm had respectively advanced to Foundation Establishment last year and two months ago. The rest, still in the True Qi Realm, were abundant in Elixir Pills and profound in cultivation techniques, each on the brink of ascension to Foundation Establishment.
Han Lin, along with the seven disciples taken in over the past eleven years, constituted the foundation for Lu Qingfeng to establish his own sect. In addition to these disciples, Lu Qingfeng had befriended several Loose Cultivators, and he was quite confident he could persuade them to become Guest Elders of the sect or to join the sect directly.
However, before that—
"First, we need to eradicate the demons on White Rock Mountain!"
With steps that seemed slow but were actually swift, Lu Qingfeng left Guangyuan Cave Mansion and headed directly east.
Three hundred li to the southeast of Panlong Mountain lay White Rock Mountain, known for its yield of white stone. A demon had taken up residence on White Rock Mountain, with its true form being a Black Vein Golden Butterfly that absorbed the Sun and Moon Essence for cultivation, its strength not inferior to a Spirit Void Practitioner. Having established itself for a long time on White Rock Mountain, it gathered a band of lesser demons under its command and styled itself as the 'Black Vein King.'
The mountain's greater and lesser demons often descended to prey on the Human Clan as their blood meal, committing much evil.

But not even Spirit Void Realm practitioners could defeat it.
Core Formation True Men, wary of the Hun Mountain Demon King and the Red Sand Demon King who stood behind the Black Vein King, did not dare bully the weak, lest those Demon Kings do the same and harm their juniors.
That's why the Black Vein King had been entrenched on White Rock Mountain for a long time, unchallenged.
During his eleven years on Panlong Mountain, Lu Qingfeng had already thoroughly investigated the situation in Taihe County.
The number of Spiritual Mountains and great rivers under the heavens is known, and Taihe County's territory was no exception. Slightly better Spirit Mountains and Spirit Rivers were either occupied by domineering Loose Cultivators or held by various sects. Apart from these, there were demons.
After carefully studying the situation in Taihe County, the few unclaimed Spirit Veins were excessively meager. Lu Qingfeng, after much thought, set his sights on White Rock Mountain.
The Spiritual Energy of White Rock Mountain was remarkable, ranking among the best in the entire Taihe County.
If he could seize it, being a practitioner of the same Spirit Void Level, he figured that even if backed by the two great Demon Kings, it would be beneath their dignity to deal with Lu Qingfeng.
Otherwise, once a conflict arises, the Human Clan is not without its ways of fighting back— a great battle would likely be inevitable.
The two Demon Kings might dispatch their capable lieutenants to recover their prestige, but the probability that they themselves would enter the fray is extremely small. Lu Qingfeng has thousands of Puppets in hand, and his own strength is formidable, not inferior to any demon of the Spirit Void Level.
The spiritual energy of White Rock Mountain is not bad. Once it is captured, it's hard to guarantee that no Human Clan forces would covet it. Before Lu Qingfeng arrived at White Rock Mountain, he had instructed Han Lin and eight other disciples to carry his calling cards and invite a host of friends from Panlong Mountain to witness the grand opening ceremony of Guangyuan Sect on White Rock Mountain!
With the news spreading like this, other great sects wishing to snatch the fruits would also have to be cautious.
Speed is of the essence in warfare!
As soon as Lu Qingfeng moved, the Puppets hidden around Panlong Mountain suddenly rushed toward White Rock Mountain. The Green Butterfly Puppet and Black Snake Puppet had already thoroughly scouted the hundred miles around White Rock Mountain.
...
White Rock Mountain.
Located in the southern part of Taihe County, it is only a little more than nine hundred miles away from Juexin Mountain, home of one of the three major factions of Heavenly Star State, the Dutian Sect, and about one thousand one hundred miles away from Zhouyun Mountain and Red Sand River.
Both Red Sand River and Zhouyun Mountain are occupied by the Demon Clan.
The Red Sand Demon King rules over a thousand miles of the Red Sand River territory with a host of experts and a deluge of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals. On Zhouyun Mountain, the Hun Mountain Demon King is even more powerful, having once fought alone against seven Dutian Demon Gods of Dutian Sect without losing ground, and his name is well-known throughout Heavenly Star State.
The Black Vein King of White Rock Mountain is a trusted subordinate of the Hun Mountain Demon King, and the Hun Mountain Demon King and Red Sand Demon King back each other up like braches sharing the same root, joining forces against Dutian Sect. With the support of Hun Mountain Demon King, the Black Vein King is as stable as Mount Tai on White Rock Mountain.
Over the years, there have been no lack of Spirit Void Practitioners who have ventured onto White Rock Mountain intending to slay demons and eliminate evils. In the end, either they returned without success and fled, or they remained on White Rock Mountain forever.
Piles of bones have built the formidable reputation of the Black Vein King, and gradually few cultivators dared to approach White Rock Mountain anymore.
On this day.
Lu Qingfeng appeared at the foot of White Rock Mountain.
"White Rock Mountain is led by the Black Vein King, with strength around the Spirit Void Fusion Level, and true combat power among the top of many Fusion Realm cultivators, rivaling an invincible hand below a True Man. He commands eight hundred Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, most of whom are mediocre in ability and not to be feared. Only two Spirit Void Stage leaders require attention."
Details about White Rock Mountain flashed through Lu Qingfeng's mind. He opened the mouth of his storage bag from his waist, and forty Tiger Demon Puppets streamed out, landing on the ground and emitting low roars.
In his past life, he had accumulated only ten Tiger Demon Puppets. In this life, Lu Qingfeng had been refining Tiger Demon Puppets in his spare time and, over a hundred years, had crafted a total of thirty, which were now perfectly used here.
Apart from the forty Tiger Demon Puppets comparable to Spirit Void Stage Cultivators, Lu Qingfeng also released Dharma Images, Wanxiang, and a hundred other Level 6 Puppets, as well as Divine Shooter, Ten Thousand Laws, and other Level 5 Puppets. The Five Elements, giant ape, and other Level 4 Puppets were also released in succession.
Since making a move, he must press forward with thunderous momentum and eliminate any chance of mishap.
"Roar!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Over a thousand Puppets howled, and as they ran, White Rock Mountain trembled.
At the peak of White Rock Mountain, there was a cave mansion. The cave mansion served as an entrance, leading deep into the earth to an unknown place.
"Who is so bold as to run wild on White Rock Mountain?!"
From deep within the cave mansion, an angry voice rang out. Shortly after, a youth wearing a black robe, with sharp ears and monkey-like cheeks, strode out.
