323: Move to the Whirlwind Valley and advance to the Demon-Slaying Sword Formation!

As a Heaven Rank Magical Artifact, the Thousand Mile Shuttle was already fast enough, barely matching the speed of a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator flying at full power.

However, it was already half an incense stick's time later when they arrived at the Netherworld Soul Hall.

During this period, the light pillars at the locations of the Five Great Immortal Sects had long since disappeared. Although it was night, many Cultivators watching the excitement could still be seen everywhere. However, they did not know the reason for these light pillars. Some even thought that a rare treasure had appeared and flew towards the location of the light pillars without hesitation, scrambling to be first.

"I heard that those light pillars were born within the scope of the Five Great Immortal Sects."

"I don't know what the Five Great Immortal Sects are up to."

"Could it be related to the Spirit Realm? After all, the Five Great Immortal Sects have Immortals among them!"

Everyone was discussing, and Qin Feng began to doubt the status of the Five Great Immortal Sects in Lingzhou. Bai Ao was the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace, but even he didn't know the names of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Calculating this way... the so-called Immortal Sects' status in Lingzhou was nothing special.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng was a little conflicted, unsure whether it was right or wrong to let his sister and Ding Shuli go to the Spirit Realm. However, he had given them both Purple Dragon Golden Tokens, so even if they encountered danger, the West Sea Dragon Palace should be able to help resolve it. He only needed to take care of himself.

In the darkness, there were still scattered specks of firelight inside Whirlwind River Valley.

That was a sign of the Netherworld Soul Hall Disciples' activities. Some Spirit Medicine needed to be watered with Spiritual Plant Liquid at night, so even late at night, people were busy in the Spirit Medicine fields. Besides that, most Disciples were Cultivating in the Immortal Cave underground.

Now, with the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Formation's blessing, the Spiritual Qi's richness in the Netherworld Soul Hall was no less than that of the Five Great Immortal Sects. They were naturally full of motivation. Cultivating for one day now was equivalent to Cultivating for a month in the outside world, so the cultivation of everyone in the Netherworld Soul Hall was also rapidly improving.

"Revered Master, where is this?"

When Jiang Mengting saw the huge valley and the rich Spiritual Qi rushing towards them, her eyes couldn't help but show curiosity. Not only her, but even Yan Sandao, Wang Dalong, and Zhao Xuanyuan were all a little confused.

Among them, people with different Realms had different understandings of the value of this valley. Those in the Qi Refinement Stage could only see that the Spiritual Qi was very rich, while Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could see that the Spiritual Qi here was extremely rich, completely surpassing the outside world by many times, even stronger than Wo Niu Mountain back then!

"This is the Netherworld Soul Hall."

"Has the Netherworld Soul Hall moved here?"

Wang Dalong and Yan Sandao both knew of the Netherworld Soul Hall's existence, but they always thought it was at the Chang Sheng Sword Sect ruins not far from Wo Niu Mountain. They knew nothing about the Netherworld Soul Hall's relocation.

"Yes, it just moved here not long ago. You can Cultivate here from now on."

Qin Feng released a wisp of his aura, then stood at the entrance of the Immortal Cave in the river valley and waited for a while. Immediately, two figures rushed over.

"Hall Revered Master!"

The two who arrived were Chen Bingxue and Wen Xiaomei.

As the current main persons in charge of the Netherworld Soul Hall, they had to manage the entire Sect and report to Qin Feng at the first opportunity. Qin Feng basically always looked for them whenever he returned.

Qin Feng nodded at the two of them, then introduced the identities of the four people beside him.

Although Jiang Mengting and Zhao Xuanyuan were only Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, they could also get a High Grade courtyard in the Immortal Cave and enjoy the same treatment as the Netherworld Soul Hall's higher-ups. As for Yan Sandao and Wang Dalong, Qin Feng sent them to Spirit Medicine Peak. They could choose from four skills: Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Spirit Plant cultivation, and Beast Taming. If they didn't want to do Artifact Refining or these, they could also focus on improving their cultivation.

Over the past year, they had basically been taking care of flowers and plants in Wo Niu Mountain, rarely taking time to Cultivate. Now was a good time to make up for that lost time.

It was already past midnight when everything was arranged.

Wen Xiaomei and Chen Bingxue came to Qin Feng's residence and carefully asked, "Hall Revered Master, it's time to distribute the monthly stipends this year. What do you plan to give everyone?"

"Another year has passed?" Qin Feng looked up at the two of them, then began to ponder what to give.

Previously, the Sect distributed Divine Demon Pills. Distributing Divine Demon Pills again this year would be a bit impractical. After all, in the past, there were only Divine Demon Pills, but now they had to consider whether the Sect Disciples could use them.

"What do you two think would be good to distribute?"

"People of each Realm have different strengths and need different things. For example, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators like us need Breakthrough Pills and Nascent Soul Pills. Nascent Soul stage cultivators also need Breakthrough Pills and similar things that help with cultivation. As for Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, they only need Foundation Establishment Pills and Thunder Shields."

Chen Bingxue's consideration was very comprehensive, and Qin Feng also felt that she made sense.

Any of these items, if placed outside, would cost at least three High-Grade Spirit Stones based on Lingzhou's prices.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feng looked at Wen Xiaomei and asked, "How is the Medicinal Pill output from Spirit Medicine Peak now? Is it enough for the Sect Disciples' daily use?"

"There are now eight Earth Rank Alchemists and twenty-eight Human Rank Alchemists."

Earth Rank Alchemists can coincidentally refine Breakthrough Pills, and there aren't many high-level Cultivators in the Sect, so it's enough for self-sufficiency. As for Human Rank Alchemists and other unranked Alchemists, they can fully satisfy the Nascent Soul stage cultivators and below in the Sect.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng said, "From today onwards, people in the Sect can receive ten Medicinal Pills annually according to their own requirements. From now on, the Medicinal Pills from Spirit Medicine Peak will be sold as little as possible. Only Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fish will be sold."

Chen Bingxue and Wen Xiaomei nodded, both showing satisfied expressions in their eyes. This treatment was already top-tier in all of Lingzhou, so they naturally had nothing to say. Coupled with the abundant Spiritual Qi in the valley, they basically didn't need to make the Disciples fight to the death for the Sect. In this situation, they were even willing to stay in the Netherworld Soul Hall for their entire lives!

After the two left, Qin Feng sealed off the surroundings of his residence with his Divine Soul, then took out an egg-sized blood-red stone from his storage ring.

The Communicating Nether Bloodstone, one of the Materials for advancing the Demon Subduing Sword Formation.

Currently, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation's lethality is enough to threaten Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, while the Demon Subduing Sword's power is still a bit lacking, but it is a natural counter to evil Cultivators. After integrating the Communicating Nether Bloodstone, its power can at least reach a level similar to the Immortal Execution Sword Formation.

Cultivating Immortality is not just about Cultivating one's own Realm. Magical Artifacts, Spells, Divine Abilities... all of these must be Cultivated. Otherwise, if one only has a high Realm, they wouldn't know why they were killed one day.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng took out his Artifact Refining furnace from his storage ring and began to refine the Communicating Nether Bloodstone, advancing the Demon Subduing Sword Formation...

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Outside the Whirlwind River Valley Formation, an Old Man in a black robe appeared. Every step he took could instantly cross more than ten zhang, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Formation.

"The Formation is quite good, worthy of the renowned Netherworld Soul Hall."

The Old Man commented on the Formation, then stretched out his hand and sent a sound transmission talisman into the Formation.

A moment later.

Chen Bingxue appeared in the Formation with a look of confusion, and asked the Old Man with full vigilance, "You're looking for our Hall Revered Master, what's the matter?"

"This Old Man is Old Man Cangsong, specially sent by the Sea Dragon God Sect to deliver a message to Hall Master Qin."

Sea Dragon Society? Chen Bingxue frowned, her heart even more bewildered. She had never heard of such a Sect name near Lingzhou, and she couldn't see through the Old Man's Realm, so he was at least a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator. Therefore, Chen Bingxue became even more vigilant and said, "Our Hall Revered Master is currently in closed-door cultivation. If you have anything to say, I will personally relay it to him."

"Our Sect Master instructed me when I came that I must personally see Hall Master Qin before I can speak."
