Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 118 Donglin Yang Clan's Spiritual Vein Minerals (Please Subscribe!)
Lu Chengping obtained the third-tier cultivation technique, the Heavenly Evolution Technique, which allows him to directly cultivate to the Golden Core Perfection realm. This technique is a matching set with the array inheritance he received.

However, the inheritance of array formations is incomplete, and the highest grade of spirit arrays is only the second-tier top grade.

“Chengping, let’s convert these ancient texts and inheritances you brought out into family contributions once we get back to the clan. For now, let’s all meditate and finish up our business here so we can return to the clan as soon as possible!” Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

After dealing with the wealth of the Zhao family of Tianhong briefly, Lu Cheng'an and the other two each chose a cave in Tianhong Mountain to begin adjusting their physical condition.

Lu Cheng'an had no injuries. After casually choosing a cave dwelling, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

This jade slip was obtained from the Zhao family of Tianhong. It contains a second-tier fire-attribute spell called Fire Dragon Seal, which is a defensive spell.

Upon seeing the Fire Dragon Seal technique among the fire-attribute spells collected by the Zhao family of Tianhong, Lu Cheng'an immediately obtained it.

In addition to the Fire Dragon Seal, a second-tier fire-attribute defensive spell, Lu Cheng'an also requested a second-tier sword control technique.

This sword control technique is called Cloud Shadow Sword Technique. In addition to enabling Foundation Establishment cultivators to fly on their swords, this technique is also an extremely powerful attack technique.

Lu Cheng'an has already made arrangements for what's to come. After dealing with the Tianhong Zhao family, he will return to Qing'e Island to focus on cultivating these second-tier spells and strive to improve his combat power.

At the same time, the forging of a second-tier magic weapon should be put on the agenda, and a second-tier magic sword that satisfies him should be forged as soon as possible.

While Lu Cheng'an and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators were adjusting their condition at Tianhong Mountain, news of the extermination of the Zhao clan of Tianhong Mountain spread rapidly around them like snowflakes.

Upon receiving this news, the rogue cultivators near Tianhong Mountain immediately began to discuss it, speculating about how the new Foundation Establishment cultivators would treat them.

They couldn't help but feel some worry, but at the same time, they were full of anticipation.

Because the Zhao clan of Tianhong had never treated them, these rogue cultivators, they were quite happy to hear that the once high and mighty Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, the Zhao clan, had been destroyed.

These rogue cultivators at the Qi Refining stage only had slight concerns; they weren't actually particularly worried.

After all, no matter which Foundation Establishment cultivator takes over Tianhong Mountain, it won't have a significant impact on them.

The two Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans that are near Tianhong Mountain are the Qiao Clan and the Yang Clan.

The Qiao family is a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan founded by Qiao Liusheng, who purchased Jinyuan Mountain from the Zhao family, while the Yang family is the mortal enemy of the Tianhong Zhao family.

Before the Lu family's misfortune, they had some connection with the Yang family.

It was precisely for this reason that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family were able to send a message to the Yang family so quickly, allowing the Yang family to take action against the Tianhong Zhao family so swiftly, thus giving Lu Wenxing the opportunity to lead his clansmen to escape.

Of course, the main reason why the Yang family acted so readily was because the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lu family had given them an opportunity.

As for what kind of opportunity it was, Lu Wenxing and the other Lu family cultivators did not know.

But whatever that opportunity may be, as long as it allows Lu Wenxing to escape with the Lu family cultivators, it's a worthwhile deal.

The Yang family also has two Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge, both at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but their overall strength is greater than that of Zhao Wusheng and his companion.

Upon receiving the news of the destruction of the Zhao Clan of Tianhong, Qiao Liusheng and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yang family were naturally greatly shocked, and then personally rushed towards Tianhong Mountain.

They weren't exactly close to Tianhong Mountain, but since they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, they arrived at Tianhong Mountain in no time.

"My name is Yang Tang. May I ask if the fellow Daoist from the Lu family is currently in Tianhong Mountain?"

A middle-aged man dressed in a light blue robe stood at the foot of Tianhong Mountain. He channeled his magic power into his throat, and the sound he made quickly spread to the surrounding area, soon reaching the ears of Lu Cheng'an and the other two.

The middle-aged man was Yang Tang, the patriarch of the Yang clan, and beside him was an elderly man dressed in a maroon robe.

This old man was not another cultivator from the Yang family, but Qiao Liusheng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who currently occupies Jinyuan Mountain.

Qiao Liusheng was a rogue cultivator. He was quite old, and he was already very lucky to have broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm in his lifetime. There was basically no possibility of his cultivation advancing any further.

His strength was also quite mediocre. When he learned that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lu family who had wiped out the Tianhong Zhao clan, he felt dizzy and almost abandoned his foundation at Jinyuan Mountain to flee for his life.

This was his basic quality as a rogue cultivator over the years, but he really couldn't bear to give up his foundation in Jinyuan Mountain, so in the end he didn't escape directly from Jinyuan Mountain.

Instead, he went to the Yang family in person to ask for their opinion.

Finally, they followed Yang Tang, the patriarch of the Yang clan, to Tianhong Mountain to investigate the situation.

Upon hearing Yang Tang's voice, Lu Cheng'an and his two companions on Tianhong Mountain immediately emerged from their cave.

"The man at the foot of the mountain is Yang Tang, the patriarch of the Donglin Yang clan. The reason I was able to lead my clan to migrate successfully back then was because the Donglin Yang clan intervened in time."

After mentioning Yang Tang, Lu Wenxing couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at Yang Chengan and Yang Chengping and continued, "Come down the mountain with me to see Yang Tang and see what brings him here."

Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping had no objections, and after the three of them agreed, they went to the foot of Tianhong Mountain together.

At this time, Yang Tang and Qiao Liusheng were still waiting at the foot of Tianhong Mountain.

"Lu Wenxing greets Fellow Daoist Yang!"

Upon seeing Yang Tang, Lu Wenxing immediately bowed deeply to him.

Although he and Yang Tang are both cultivators at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and their Yang family is now stronger than the Yang clan, he is still extremely grateful to the Yang clan.

Regardless of the reasons why the Yang family attacked the Tianhong Zhao family back then, the Lu family ultimately escaped the Tianhong Zhao family's pursuit only because of the Yang family's timely intervention.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, these are two other Foundation Establishment cultivators from my Lu family, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Chengping!"

"Chengping, Cheng'an, quickly greet Fellow Daoist Yang!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and looked at Yang Tang, then introduced Lu Cheng'an and the other man to Yang Tang.

After Lu Cheng'an and his companion greeted Yang Tang, Yang Tang introduced Qiao Liusheng to the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an and the other two did not have any particular opinion about Qiao Liusheng, after all, Qiao Liusheng had no grudge against their Lu family.

Of course, they didn't have a good impression of Qiao Liusheng either, since he had bought the ancestral land that originally belonged to their Lu family from the Zhao family!
Fortunately, Qiao Liusheng's demands were not high. After sensing that the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lu family did not harbor any particularly deep hostility towards him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He then tried his best to make himself invisible, fearing that he would arouse the disgust of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what are your Lu family's plans next? Are you planning to move back?" Yang Tang asked with a smile. This was Yang Tang's main purpose in coming; he wanted to know what the Lu family's plans were.

Previously, he had only learned that the Lu family had two Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now he discovered that the Lu family had three Foundation Establishment cultivators, one more than the Yang family.

If the Lu family decides to move back to Tianhong Mountain to develop their business, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Yang family.

Resources in the cultivation world are limited. The Yang family is located next to Tianhong Mountain. If the Lu family moves to Tianhong Mountain to develop, they will definitely seize the cultivation resources that originally belonged to the Yang family.

Although Qiao Liusheng was trying his best to minimize his presence, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Lu Wenxing after hearing Yang Tang ask this question.

He wanted to know the Lu family's decision even more than the Yang family did.

If the Lu family really moves to Tianhong Mountain, even if the Lu family doesn't ask for it, he will take the initiative to return Jinyuan Mountain to the Lu family. Otherwise, he might not even know how he died.

"Our Lu family has already established a foothold outside, and relocating the family would be too troublesome, so we don't plan to come back!"

Lu Wenxing looked at Yang Tang with a smile and instantly understood what Yang Tang was worried about.

Therefore, he did not keep Yang Tang hanging, but instead gave Yang Tang a reassuring answer.

"Fellow Daoist Yang is more familiar with the cultivation world in this area. Next, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Yang for help in selling the Tianhong Mountain, Qiongshan Stone Jade Mine, and Danfeng Mountain Gold and Copper Mine occupied by the Zhao family."

Tianhong Mountain is the location of the Zhao family's mountain gate. It contains a second-order spiritual vein and several first-order spiritual veins, making its cultivation environment even better than the original Jinyuan Mountain of the Lu family.

Qiongshan Stone Jade Mine is a Tier 2 mine, while Danfeng Mountain Golden Tong Mine is a Tier 1 mine. Both mines are quite valuable, especially the stone jade ore produced by Qiongshan Stone Jade Mine, which is the main material for refining a Tier 2 defensive magic weapon.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, rest assured, I will definitely get this done for you!" Yang Tang said with a loud laugh.

After learning that the Lu family had no intention of moving back, he immediately felt relieved, and his attitude towards the Lu family became more cordial.

At the same time, Yang Tang's brain was also working quickly, thinking about how to deal with the minerals that Lu Wenxing had mentioned.

The Yang family itself was very interested in the jade mines of Qiongshan. Although this second-tier mine was in the Zhao family's territory, it was not actually too far from their own.

The second-tier spiritual vein of Tianhong Mountain must be sold to Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Foundation Establishment cultivators who purchase the second-tier spiritual vein of Tianhong Mountain must also want to stay in Tianhong Mountain and develop properly.

This person needs to be carefully selected. If the Foundation Establishment cultivator from Tianhong Mountain has a bad personality, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Yang family.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Yang!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

"Haha, that's no trouble at all. Our Yang family has some interest in the jade mines of Qiongshan, but I still need to discuss it with the cultivators in my clan. However, I hope Fellow Daoist Lu won't ask for too much of a price!"

Yang Tang smiled and looked at Lu Wenxing, then continued, "Fellow Daoist Lu must still have many things to deal with, so we won't disturb you any longer!"

After confirming that the Lu family would not move to Tianhong Mountain, Yang Tang no longer had much desire to inquire about the Lu family's situation.

"Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist Yang. Our Lu family does indeed have many things to do right now, so we won't see you off!"

After shifting his gaze from Yang Tang, Lu Wenxing looked at Qiao Liusheng beside Yang Tang and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiao, our Lu family still has many mortal clansmen living near Jinyuan Mountain. We are grateful for your care over the years."

Next, I'd like to take these mortal members of the Lu family away. Fellow Daoist Qiao, you shouldn't have any objections, right?

"No, I have no objection!"

Upon hearing Lu Wenxing call his name, Qiao Liusheng immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, I will go back now and gather all the Lu family mortals living near Jinyuan Mountain. I will make sure they are delivered to Tianhong Mountain intact!"

Qiao Liusheng was very fortunate that after taking over Jinyuan Mountain, he did not treat the Lu family's mortals harshly.

The Lu family must have some understanding of this matter, otherwise the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family would never have spoken to him so amicably.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Qiao!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

"No trouble at all!" Qiao Liusheng waved his hands repeatedly, afraid that the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lu family would change their minds again.

Yang Tang and Qiao Liusheng did not linger at Tianhong Mountain. After learning about the Lu family's plans from the Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were completely relieved.

Lu Cheng'an and the other two did not rush to do anything else, but returned to Tianhong Mountain.

Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengping's injuries have not yet healed, and they need to continue to recuperate.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Wenxing hurriedly left his secluded cave and called Lu Chengan out of the cave.

"Cheng'an, have you received an invitation from the Dan Ding Sect? The Dan Ding Sect is going to hold a Foundation Establishment Ceremony for the newly established Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect. As we agreed before, you should represent the family to attend!"

Lu Wenxing frowned slightly. He had originally wanted to prepare a proper congratulatory gift, but now he simply didn't have the time to do so.

“I received a message from Xu Shao; he invited me privately,” Lu Chengan said.

Xu Shao and Lu Cheng'an had a good relationship, and the invitation he extended only represented his own opinion.

After Xu Shao finished his seclusion, he sent a message to Lu Cheng'an to tell him the good news that his cultivation had successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

He also inquired about Lu Cheng'an's situation.

The Foundation Establishment Pill that Shi Ningyu gave to Lu Cheng'an was given privately. However, after Lu Cheng'an successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, Xu Shao and other Dan Ding Sect cultivators had a vague suspicion.

However, they didn't inquire further, since this matter involved the sect leader and Shi Ningyu.

After telling Xu Shao about his situation, Lu Cheng'an accepted Xu Shao's invitation.

"I was originally planning to prepare two gifts, but now there's no time at all. Fortunately, I received several second-tier spiritual items from the Zhao family this time."

Lu Wenxing sighed softly and took out two jade boxes from his storage bag. Inside the jade boxes were two second-grade low-level spiritual herbs.

“Both the Jade Grass and the Rehmannia Branch are second-grade low-level spiritual herbs. Let’s present them to the Pill Cauldron Sect as a congratulatory gift from our Lu family!” Lu Wenxing said.

These two gifts were decided by Lu Wenxing after careful consideration. The Dan Ding Sect is a sect famous for its alchemy.
