Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Cheng'an's gaze swept over the illusory images of Yuan Power manifested by the fifth-tier treasures such as the Kui Yuan Tian Shui Belt. He could sense that these fifth-tier treasures collected by the Qinghe Sect were not ordinary items.

The quality of the fifth-tier treasures, such as the Kuiyuan Tianshui Belt, was superior to all the fifth-tier secret treasures he had seen before, far surpassing the Haoyang Mirror he carried.

"I'll choose this Solar Fire Fiend Pearl!" Lu Cheng'an quickly decided on the fifth-tier treasure that suited him.

The Sunfire Fiend Pearl is a low-grade fifth-tier fire-attribute treasure. Its attributes are compatible with Lu Cheng'an's, allowing him to unleash its full power.

Although the quality of the Kuiyuan Heavenly Water Belt is much higher than that of the Sunfire Fiery Pearl, Lu Cheng'an is unable to activate it.

"Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Lu. I will now relay your message to the Sect Leader. Once the Sect Leader replies, I should be able to bring the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl to you!" True Monarch Xuanmiao said with a smile.

She has now completed the sect leader's orders and can finally relax.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Liu!" Lu Cheng'an thanked him in a low voice and returned to Shi Ningyu's cave.

At this moment, Xuanmiao Zhenjun also left Shi Ningyu's cave. She immediately conveyed Lu Cheng'an's message to Qinghe Shangren, asking when to hand over the Sun Fire Fiend Pearl to Lu Cheng'an for refining.

While a fifth-tier secret treasure is slightly less powerful than a fifth-tier magic weapon or artifact, it is still not an easy task for a Nascent Soul cultivator to activate it.

The white dragon of the boundless black river set a one-month deadline for them to find Shi Ningyu and deliver her to him.

If it cannot be accomplished, the White Dragon will lead the demonic beasts of the boundless Black River to attack Lianzhou once again.

At that time, he will no longer hold back and will directly destroy Lianzhou.

Several days have passed, and the white dragon may not keep its promise; it could launch an attack at any time.

If Lu Cheng'an completes the refinement of the Sunfire Fiend Pearl before the White Dragon launches its attack, then even if the Sunfire Fiend Pearl is given to Lu Cheng'an, it will be of no use.

Master Qinghe had been paying close attention to the reply from True Lord Xuanmiao. When he saw that True Lord Xuanmiao had sent a message saying that the matter had been completed, he felt relieved.

He then immediately sent a message to Xuanmiao Zhenjun, instructing him to return to the sect at once, retrieve the Sunfire Fiend Pearl from the sect, and bring it to Lu Cheng'an for refining.

After receiving the reply from Master Qinghe, True Monarch Xuanmiao immediately told Lu Cheng'an about the matter and then hurriedly returned to the sect.

This matter has been agreed upon by all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Qinghe Sect. After Xuanmiao Zhenjun returned to the sect, he successfully retrieved the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl from the sect's treasury.

She then hurriedly returned to Wanxia Villa and handed the Sunfire Fiend Pearl to Lu Cheng'an for refining.

In Shi Ningyu's secluded cave.

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged in the bedroom of his cave dwelling. At this moment, he expanded the fire domain he had condensed, and a golden pearl floated in the crimson fire domain.

This precious pearl is the fifth-grade low-level secret treasure, the Sunfire Fiend Pearl, from the Qinghe Sect.

The bead was entirely golden, covered inside and out with mysterious sun runes, and possessed extremely powerful energy.

Lu Cheng'an placed the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl into the fire domain, then he began to refine this newly acquired fifth-grade low-level secret treasure by forming hand seals.

Lu Cheng'an's process of condensing a fire domain and refining the Sunfire Fiend Pearl, a low-grade fifth-order fire-attribute treasure, was much easier than Xuanmiao Zhenjun had imagined.

Five days later, Lu Cheng'an withdrew the fire domain around him. At this moment, he had successfully refined the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl.

The functions of fifth-tier treasures are relatively simple. The Solar Fire Fiend Pearl has two functions: one is to release solar fire fiends for attack.

The solar fire released by the Solar Fire Pearl not only contains pure solar power, but also fire power. The power formed by the fusion of these two forces is even more terrifying.

It is especially harmful to the physical body of cultivators. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator's physical body is invaded by the power of the Sun Fire Fiend, he will suffer unbearable pain and it will be very difficult to remove it from his body.

Secondly, it gathers the power of the sun to release its golden light, forming a defensive barrier.

Although this defense is not as good as a low-grade fifth-tier defensive treasure, it is by no means something that a Nascent Soul cultivator can break through.

The Haoyang Mirror is also a fifth-tier low-grade fire-attribute treasure, but it only has one function: to release Haoyang firelight.

The Haoyang Firelight also requires the mobilization of the sun's power, but its power is significantly different from the solar fire energy released by the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl.

Of course, although the power of the Sunfire Fiend Pearl is extremely strong, activating this treasure requires Lu Cheng'an's own magical power.

Currently, relying on the power of the Fire Domain, Lu Cheng'an can activate the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl a maximum of five times. Once he exceeds this limit, he will suffer severe backlash.

Although the power of the Haoyang Mirror is relatively weak, it can still accumulate power within its own body.

The power accumulated here can activate the Haoyang Mirror three times, which will only cause a slight loss to Lu Cheng'an's power.

While Lu Cheng'an was refining the Solar Fire Fiend Pearl, Master Qinghe, following his previous plan, went to the Tianze Sect and the Lianhua Sect to talk to the cultivators of these two sects about Lu Cheng'an's situation.

Tianze Sect had not received any prior information, and when they suddenly learned of Lu Cheng'an's strength from Master Qinghe, they did not believe it.

However, they soon received a message from the Lotus Sect, which made them believe that Lu Cheng'an truly possessed strength no weaker than the Boundless Black River White Dragon.

After learning that Qinghe Shangren was at Tianze Sect, the sect leader of Lianhua Sect, Youlian Zhenjun, went directly to Tianze Sect via a teleportation array to personally inquire about Lu Chengan's situation from Qinghe Shangren.

The Lotus Flower Sect is located in Lotus Prefecture, which is closest to the Boundless Black River and is therefore the most severely affected by the monsters of the Boundless Black River.

Lu Cheng'an possesses strength comparable to that of the White Flood Dragon, which may be their only hope of defeating the White Flood Dragon and the Boundless Black River Monster.

However, the cultivators in their sect had previously acted rashly against Lu Cheng'an's Daoist partner, Lu Cheng'an. Unlike the Qinghe Sect, their Lotus Flower Sect did not have any cultivators who were on good terms with Shi Ningyu.

Now they must find a way to make up for their previous mistakes as soon as possible, so as to avoid being purged by Lu Cheng'an again.

Youlian Zhenjun was extremely anxious, so he moved very fast.

Although the Lotus Flower Sect was separated from the Heavenly Ze Sect by a whole state, he arrived at the Heavenly Ze Sect's gate almost simultaneously with Master Qinghe, thanks to the teleportation array. The Heavenly Ze Sect's sect master was True Lord Dao'an.

The sect leaders of Tianze Sect, Lianhua Sect, and Qinghe Sect are all at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, making them the most powerful figures in their respective sects.

Among Dao'an Zhenjun, Qinghe Shangren, and Youlian Zhenjun, Dao'an Zhenjun is the most powerful, and he is also the youngest of the three.

Dao Anzhenjun cultivated thunder magic, and his two most powerful divine abilities were Purple Lightning Divine Thunder and Pure Yang Heavenly Thunder, both of which he had mastered to perfection.

In addition, the natal magic weapon he refined is called the Primordial Yang Heavenly Thunder Pearl. This pearl can release Primordial Yang Heavenly Thunder and at the same time enhance the power of Dao An Zhenjun's thunder magic, similar to the enhancement of a cultivator's supernatural power by the Dao Domain.

If Dao An Zhenjun were to activate his natal magic treasure, the Yuan Yang Heavenly Thunder Pearl, his strength should be comparable to that of Shi Ningyu, who has condensed the Golden Dao Domain.

This is because Shi Ningyu's understanding of the Golden Dao Domain is not deep enough. If Dao An Zhenjun were to encounter Lu Cheng'an and Bai Jiao, he would be no match for them at all.

As the sect leader of Tianze Sect, Dao'an Zhenjun naturally possessed more than just the Yuanyang Heavenly Thunder Pearl; he also had two other top-grade fourth-tier magic treasures.

These three top-tier fourth-order magic treasures are the Thunder Robe, the Thunder Swamp Sword, and the Mysterious Yin Thunder Mountain. The Thunder Swamp Sword and the Mysterious Yin Thunder Mountain are both offensive magic treasures, while the Thunder Robe is an extremely rare defensive magic treasure with the lightning attribute.

When the white dragon emerged from the boundless black river, it easily killed two cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

Dao'an Zhenjun could not bear to see the white dragon acting so fiercely, so he took the initiative to intercept it.

Unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to that of the white dragon. After exchanging only a few blows with the white dragon, he was severely injured.

He also had the power of the water channel injected into his body by the white dragon. Fortunately, he didn't have much water channel power in his body. With the help of the fifth-order secret treasure of Tianze Sect, he has completely cleared out the water channel power in his body. Now his injuries have been fully recovered.

In addition to his own injuries, Dao An Zhenjun's magic weapon, the Thunder Swamp Sword, was also damaged, with numerous cracks appearing in his hand, and his defensive magic weapon, the Myriad Thunder Robe, was also damaged.

Both of these magical treasures are of the fourth-tier top-grade quality. Tianze Sect does not have any fourth-tier top-grade weapon refiners, so the damaged Thunder Swamp Sword and Ten Thousand Thunder Robe have not yet been repaired.

After True Lord Youlian and Venerable Qinghe met True Lord Daoan, True Lord Youlian disregarded the presence of True Lord Daoan as their master and eagerly inquired about Lu Chengan's situation from Venerable Qinghe.

"How much do you know about Lu Cheng'an? Does he really have the strength to withstand the white dragon of the Boundless Black River?" True Monarch Youlian asked anxiously.

Dao An Zhenjun also turned his gaze to Qinghe Shangren. Before this, they had received a message from Qinghe Shangren and had a certain understanding of Lu Chengan.

However, they still harbored doubts, after all, Lu Cheng'an's strength was related to the future of Lianzhou and Yuanzhou.

"You have no doubt about Lu Cheng'an's strength, just as I told you in the message!"

Master Qinghe smiled calmly and said, “Youlian, you should have checked the injuries on Jinglian and the other two. The fire power that Lu Chengan left in their bodies is stronger than the water power released by the white dragon. Judging from his understanding of the Great Dao alone, Lu Chengan’s strength is greater than that of the white dragon of the Boundless Black River.”

"But the white dragon has two handy fifth-tier secret treasures, the Dragon Cloud Pearl and the Sea-Turning Fork, and we don't know if the white dragon has any other types of killing treasures on its body."

“Lu Cheng’an and Shi Ningyu are cultivators from Qingzhou. You should be very clear about the situation in Qingzhou. Although Lu Cheng’an is powerful, he may not have any fifth-tier treasures in his possession.”

“If he were to fight the white dragon of the Boundless Black River like this, he would definitely suffer a loss. I have already given Lu Cheng’an the fifth-grade low-level secret treasure, the Sunfire Fiend Pearl, to refine in order to increase his strength. Your two sects should also show some appreciation.”

This is also why Master Qinghe insisted on personally visiting the Tianze Sect and the Lianhua Sect, both of which have extremely profound foundations.

The Lotus Sect, in particular, has accumulated far more fifth-tier treasures than the Qinghe Sect.

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of True Monarch Youlian and True Monarch Daoan. They did not expect that Qinghe Sect would be so fast and hand over the fifth-grade low-level secret treasure Fire Fiend Pearl to Lu Chengan for refining so early.

“That’s only right. If Lu Cheng’an really has such strength, then I will give him the fifth-grade low-level secret treasure, Yin Fire Spirit Lock, to refine!” Dao An Zhenjun said with a smile.

The Yin Fire Spirit Lock is also a fire-attribute treasure.

After learning that Lu Cheng'an was releasing the power of fire, and that the Qinghe Sect had lent out the fire-attribute treasure, the Sunfire Fiend Pearl, Dao'an Zhenjun guessed that Lu Cheng'an had condensed a fire domain. Therefore, he prepared to lend out the Yin Fire Burning Spirit Lock.

The Yin Fire Spirit Lock is an auxiliary secret treasure; its main function is to trap enemies.

Once this treasure is unleashed, it will bind the enemy on its own, sealing away the cultivator's magical power.

“Then I will give him the fifth-grade low-rank Three Yang Divine Fire Sword to refine!” True Monarch Youlian said immediately.

The Three Yang Divine Fire Sword is also a fifth-tier low-grade fire-attribute treasure. Unlike the Yin Fire Scorching Spirit Lock, the Three Yang Divine Fire Sword is a purely offensive treasure, and it is also a set of treasures, making it extremely powerful.

There are nine Three Yang Divine Fire Swords in total. Each of them is a fifth-grade low-level secret treasure sword. If the nine swords are activated at the same time, they can form the Three Yang Divine Fire Sword Formation.

The Three Yang Divine Fire Sword Formation is incredibly powerful; even a cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm would be highly likely to be injured if caught within it.

Although the Three Yang Divine Fire Sword and the Yin Fire Burning Spirit Lock were both quite powerful, Master Qinghe shook his head after hearing about the treasures that True Monarch Youlian and True Monarch Daoan had brought out.

"Although Lu Cheng'an is strong, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. The Three Yang Divine Fire Sword and the Yin Fire Spirit Lock are both low-grade fifth-rank secret treasures. The Solar Fire Fiend Pearl that he has begun to refine is also a low-grade fifth-rank secret treasure. How could he possibly refine all three secret treasures successfully in such a short time!"

"Even if he can successfully refine these three low-grade fifth-tier secret treasures in a short time, with his Nascent Soul realm cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to activate all three low-grade fifth-tier secret treasures simultaneously!"

Master Qinghe looked at True Monarch Youlian and True Monarch Daoan and continued, "Both of your sects have fifth-order talismans. Each of you should take one out and give it to Lu Cheng'an for self-defense. Only in this way can you ensure that Lu Cheng'an wins when he fights the White Dragon."

The Qinghe Sect, Tianze Sect, and Lianhua Sect have been interacting for many years and are very familiar with each other.

Master Qinghe was quite certain that the Tianze Sect and the Lianhua Sect possessed fifth-order talismans, as did the Qinghe Sect.

Talismans are disposable magical artifacts. Their power is comparable to that of a fifth-tier secret treasure. However, talismans have a significant advantage over secret treasures: they do not require cultivators to refine them, and the mana consumed when activating them is minimal.

For sects like Qinghe Sect, which lack Nascent Soul cultivators, fifth-tier talismans are more important than secret treasures, magic tools, and magical artifacts of the same tier.

After all, they could activate fifth-tier talismans, but very few cultivators in their respective sects could actually use fifth-tier secret treasures, magical artifacts, and magic weapons. (End of Chapter)
