Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Since consolidating his cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Jingkun has been working tirelessly on the family's protective mountain formation, and the task is still ongoing.

To be honest, he also spent a lot of energy and time building up his family business.

However, he knew very well that his efforts were nothing compared to those of Uncle Cheng'an.

Since the materials for upgrading the mountain-protecting formation were mostly obtained from outside by Uncle Cheng'an at great risk, he only had to put in a little effort.

Lu Cheng'an didn't dwell on the matter. After briefly explaining a few things to Lu Jingkun, he instructed him to quickly refine the main materials for making the Mountain-Driving Whip, and then began to help Lu Jingkun refine the Mountain-Driving Whip.

Lu Cheng'an felt that he could now refine a fourth-grade high-quality magic weapon, but he had not yet put it into practice.

Although the crafting of the Mountain-Driving Whip was not easy, it was not a difficult task for Lu Cheng'an.

He spent two and a half months helping Lu Jingkun upgrade the Mountain-Driving Whip to the fourth-grade low-level.

After that, he did not rush to refine the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, but rested for three days.

During the time Lu Cheng'an was refining the Mountain-Driving Whip, Lu Chengping's cultivation also broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Chengping had a solid foundation, and with the help of the Nascent Soul Pill, his cultivation successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Like Lu Jingkun, he did not leave the seclusion immediately, but stayed in the cave to consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation.

After Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun finished refining the Mountain-Driving Whip, Lu Chengping remained in seclusion.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Lu Cheng'an led Lu Jingkun back into the weapon-refining room to begin refining the magic weapon, the Mountain-Suppressing Treasure Seal.

The crafting difficulty of the Mountain-Suppressing Seal was much lower than that of the Mountain-Driving Whip. Lu Cheng'an successfully crafted this magic weapon in just under two months.

At this time, Lu Chengping's cultivation was completely consolidated. After Lu Chengan and Lu Jingkun came out of the weapon refining room, Lu Chengan sent a message to Lu Chengping, asking him to come to his cave in two days. He would take the opportunity to upgrade the grade of Lu Chengping's natal magic weapon, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, to the fourth-grade low level.

Lu Chengping's natal magic weapon, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Artifact, is not good at attacking; it is more like a support magic weapon.

Lu Chengping can use it for deductions, including formations for intercepting the spiritual energy of underground magma rivers that he and Lu Jingkun have not yet researched.

In addition, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc can also release the Heavenly Evolution Primordial Binding Immortal Qi, which can trap cultivators whose cultivation level is one realm higher than Lu Chengping's.

Of course, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc is also relatively difficult to refine. Lu Cheng'an felt that it was twice as difficult as Lu Jingkun's Mountain-Driving Whip.

However, the third-tier Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc was crafted by Lu Cheng'an, who was extremely familiar with the crafting method of this magic weapon.

Moreover, with his current weapon-refining skills, it would be no difficult task for him to upgrade the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc to the fourth-grade lower level.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Two days later, Lu Chengping arrived at Lu Chengan's cave as promised.

Lu Cheng'an did not waste any time afterward and quickly began to refine the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, Lu Chengping's natal magic weapon.

It took Lu Cheng'an four and a half months to successfully upgrade the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc to the fourth-order low-grade.

After the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc was successfully crafted, Lu Chengping left Lu Chengan's cave.

He will refine the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc again later, and then continue to study with Lu Jingkun how to intercept the spiritual energy of the underground magma river and transport it into the Lu family's mountain gate.

Now that the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc has been upgraded to the fourth-order low-grade, and his cultivation has also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, they should have a high chance of success this time.

Lu Chengping left Lu Chengan's cave. Lu Chengan rested in the cave for three days before entering Shi Ningyu's cave.

"Ningyu, congratulations on your breakthrough to the mid-Nascent Soul stage!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile after seeing Shi Ningyu.

Shi Ningyu never relaxed her cultivation, because she was worried that the gap between her and Lu Cheng'an would widen.

She broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm just before Lu Chengping's cultivation reached that level.

After she successfully broke through, she told Lu Cheng'an the good news.

However, at that time, Lu Cheng'an was helping Lu Jingkun refine a magic weapon, and Shi Ningyu also immediately went into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation. Therefore, Lu Cheng'an never met Shi Ningyu.

Only now, after Lu Cheng'an helped Lu Chengping refine the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, has he had time to meet with Shi Ningyu.

"I was able to successfully break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm all thanks to Brother An's help!"

Shi Ningyu smiled slightly, then a hint of allure appeared in her eyes. She then took the initiative to put her arms around Lu Cheng'an's shoulders, her meaning quite clear.

Lu Cheng'an laughed loudly, then reached out and picked Shi Ningyu up by the waist, striding towards the bedroom in the cave.

He and Shi Ningyu hadn't practiced dual cultivation for a long time. Now that their cultivation levels had both improved, they were sure to gain a significant boost from this dual cultivation.

Two months later, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left Shi Ningyu's cave and entered Lu Cheng'an's cave.

Both Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu benefited greatly from this dual cultivation, especially Lu Cheng'an who shared his experience of comprehending the Fire Domain with Shi Ningyu.

Although Shi Ningyu cannot yet condense her own domain, a seed has been planted in her heart. Perhaps when her cultivation breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage or the Perfected stage, she will be able to condense her own domain.

The two of them are now entering Lu Cheng'an's cave together to upgrade Shi Ningyu's natal magic treasure, the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, to the middle grade of the fourth rank.

Lu Cheng'an was extremely familiar with the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, and upgrading this magic weapon to the middle grade of the fourth rank was not a particularly difficult task.

After nearly three months, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu upgraded the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda to the middle grade of the fourth rank.

Afterwards, Shi Ningyu returned to her cave alone, preparing to attempt to refine the Treasure Qi Returning to Origin Pill.

The Treasure Qi Returning to Origin Pill is a mid-grade fourth-order pill, and its effects are even better than the Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill that Shi Ningyu refined before.

However, this kind of pill is also more difficult to refine, so Shi Ningyu only dared to try refining this kind of pill now that her cultivation has been improved to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Among the fourth-order spiritual objects produced in the spatial rift are the main materials for refining the Treasure Qi Returning to Origin Pill.

In addition to selecting items according to their quotas, Lu Cheng'an also traded some items with cultivators from the three sects of the Desolate Ancient Sect.

In the end, a total of three complete sets of materials for refining the Treasure Qi Returning to Origin Pill were gathered.

After Shi Ningyu left Lu Cheng'an's cave, Lu Cheng'an sent messages to the cultivators of the three sects of the Ancient Desolate Sect, instructing their newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators to come to the Lu family to have him refine their natal magic weapons. The three sects of the Ancient Desolate Sect received more spiritual items to aid in Nascent Soul formation than the Lu family, and they have now given these spiritual items to cultivators within their sects who have a chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The Ancient Desolate Sect and the Suspended Mirror Sect each gained a Nascent Soul cultivator, while the Haoyang Sect was even luckier.

Haoyang Sect received the most spiritual items to aid in the formation of Nascent Souls this time, and a total of three more Nascent Soul cultivators were added to their ranks.

Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that Haoyang Sect has obtained a relatively large number of spiritual items that help condense the Nascent Soul.

After deducting one Nascent Soul Pill from the Medicine Spirit Valley as the cost of refining, there are still sixteen spiritual items left to assist in the condensation of the Nascent Soul.

Haoyang Sect alone holds half, which is a full eight parts.

This time, Haoyang Sect left behind three spiritual items to assist in the formation of the Nascent Soul as the sect's foundation, and gave the remaining five to suitable Golden Core Perfection cultivators in exchange for.

As the most powerful Nascent Soul sect in Qingzhou, Haoyang Sect has a considerable number of Golden Core cultivators waiting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The five spiritual items that aided in the formation of the Nascent Soul were quickly exchanged by the Golden Core cultivators of the sect as soon as True Monarch Lieyang released them.

Of the five cultivators from the Haoyang Sect who attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and reached the Golden Core perfection realm, three succeeded, directly adding three Nascent Soul realm cultivators to the Haoyang Sect.

The Haoyang Sect originally had six Nascent Soul cultivators, but now that number has increased to nine.

Lu Cheng'an took one of the remaining eight spiritual objects that aided in the condensation of the Nascent Soul, the Ancient Desolate Sect took four of the remaining seven, and the Suspended Mirror Sect took three.

The Ancient Desolate Sect provided three spiritual items to aid in the formation of the Nascent Soul for its Golden Core cultivators, but only one of them successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The Suspended Mirror Sect then produced two spiritual items to aid in the condensation of the Nascent Soul, and one of their cultivators successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The three newly added Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect are Tong Congyu, Sheng Fangling and Yuan Jinwen, the newly added Nascent Soul cultivator of Huanggu Sect is Qu Xingyan, and the newly added Nascent Soul cultivator of Xuanjing Sect is Bai Ziying.

Lu Cheng'an didn't know much about the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators from these three sects. He agreed to refine their natal magic weapons not only to maintain his relationship with the three sects of the Desolate Ancient Sect, but also mainly to earn the refining fees.

After all, the cost of his crafting was not low, and he always traded fourth-tier spiritual items.

Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun are currently working on the formation to intercept the underground magma river, and they already have a general direction.

This formation is only of the fourth-order low-grade, but it is an extremely complex formation. To set it up successfully, a large amount of materials are required.

Lu Cheng'an wanted to take this opportunity to earn more materials for setting up the formation.

After Lu Cheng'an spread the news, Qu Xingyan, the newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator of the Desolate Ancient Sect, quickly arrived at the Lu family.

Qu Xingyan is a cultivator from the Great Wilderness Peak lineage of the Ancient Wilderness Sect, and the cultivation technique he practices also originates from the Great Wilderness True Scripture.

Qu Xingyan's natal magic weapon is called the Great Wilderness Record, which is a rather special magic weapon.

However, Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills are now completely different from before. Even the most difficult-to-refine fourth-grade magic weapons can be refined by him after a little research.

After arriving at the Lu family, Qu Xingyan was immediately taken into Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining room, where Lu Cheng'an began refining the Great Wilderness Manual for Qu Xingyan.

After three months of this process, Qu Xingyan thanked Lu Cheng'an, paid the fee for refining his natal magic weapon, and left the Lu family satisfied.

After helping Qu Xingyan refine his natal magic weapon, Lu Cheng'an rested briefly before starting to refine magic weapons for the three newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect.

The natal magic treasures of the three newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect are relatively ordinary, and their crafting difficulty is much simpler than that of Qu Xingyan's Great Wilderness Record.

It took Lu Cheng'an a total of eight months to help these three newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators of Haoyang Sect refine their natal magic treasures.

It didn't take long to help Bai Ziying of the Suspended Mirror Sect refine his natal magic weapon; it only took nearly two months.

After these newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators refined their natal magic treasures, they left the Lu family one by one.

They have only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and their combat strength is relatively low.

Their main purpose in coming to Lu Cheng'an to refine their natal magic weapon was to enhance their combat capabilities.

After they return to their sect, they will also need to spend time refining their newly upgraded natal magic treasures.

Afterwards, they will spend even more time cultivating their supernatural abilities and continuing to improve their strength.

After Lu Cheng'an finished refining the natal magic treasures for Bai Ziying and other newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivators, he handed over all the refining fees they had paid to Lu Jingkun and Lu Cheng'an.

These are all materials needed to set up the Spirit Interception Array.

The Spirit Interception Array was a formation created by Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping after much painstaking research. The main purpose of this formation was to intercept the spiritual energy of the underground magma river in the Burning Flame Mountains and transfer it to the Lu family's mountain gate.

In addition to the Spirit Interception Array, Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping also created an array called the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array.

The Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array is much simpler than the Spirit Interception Array. The main purpose of this array is to perfectly integrate the spiritual energy intercepted by the Spirit Interception Array into the Lu family's mountain gate.

According to Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping's estimates, if these two formations are successfully set up, the Lu family's mountain gate will have at least nine more fourth-order spiritual veins within the next twenty years.

The difficulty of cultivating a fourth-order spiritual vein is far greater than that of a second or third-order spiritual vein, requiring a large investment of resources.

Therefore, even for a Nascent Soul sect like the Ancient Desolate Sect, which has a long history, the number of fourth-order spiritual veins within its mountain gate is limited.

If the Lu family cultivates nine more fourth-order spiritual veins in the next twenty years, the spiritual energy within the Lu family's mountain gate will reach an extremely abundant level.

Of course, the Lu family also needs to continue to invest resources during this process.

The resources required for both the Intercepting Spirit Array and the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array, both fourth-order spirit arrays, are not small.

After handing the materials over to Lu Jingkun and Lu Cheng'an, Lu Cheng'an returned to the underground lava river.

Since he used the fire elemental energy, fire poison, fire elemental energy, and spiritual energy of the underground magma river to condense the fire domain, the power of the fire elemental energy and fire poison in the underground magma river has been rapidly weakened.

However, this weakening is only temporary, because the underground magma river continues to generate fire evil and fire poison.

Lu Jingkun and his companion were soon confident in setting up the Spirit Interception Array and the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array. Before that, he needed to clear the fire evil and fire poison from the underground magma river one last time. (End of Chapter)
