Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After learning some information about the Lingxu City Treasure Gathering, Lu Jingkun temporarily put aside his idea of ​​building the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array and began to prepare to refine a set of fifth-grade low-level defensive arrays, as Lu Chengan had instructed.

The alchemists, weapon refiners, and other cultivators of the Lu family who had reached the fourth level in all the arts of cultivation were also summoned back to Golden Cauldron Mountain and began to refine pills and weapons according to Lu Cheng'an's instructions.

However, plant masters like Lu Yonghui were excluded because high-level plants cannot be cultivated overnight.

Even if they cultivate low-level spiritual plants of the second or third tier now, it will take several years for them to mature.

Once the Wanbao Conference in Lingxu City concludes, a batch of the numerous second- and third-tier spiritual plants planted by Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters in those spiritual lands will be ready to mature.

A small number of second- or third-tier spiritual plants are not valuable, but Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters cultivated a sufficient number of second- or third-tier spiritual plants this time.

Once all these second- and third-tier spiritual plants mature, they will bring the Lu family a relatively substantial harvest.

"The Myriad Treasures Gathering in Lingxu City will begin in ten years. I hope to be able to refine a mid-grade fifth-tier defensive magic weapon within these ten years!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly. His current weapon-refining skills were still a bit lacking, and he might not be able to refine a mid-grade fifth-order defensive magic weapon.

The materials that Xuanxu Daoist gave him for refining the fifth-grade mid-level magic weapon, the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle, are still in his hands. He is not yet confident in refining the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle.

"The crafting difficulty of the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor is slightly lower than that of the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle. I will first craft a Spirit Flame Glazed Armor to test its feel before I begin crafting the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor."

The Spirit Flame Glazed Armor is a low-grade fifth-order defensive magic weapon. Lu Cheng'an had refined it before, and he was wearing the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor he had refined before.

Besides the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor, he also crafted a fifth-grade low-level Xuanjin Secret Armor at that time.

This fifth-grade low-level defensive magic weapon was worn by Shi Ningyu.

The Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor is a mid-grade fifth-tier armor, and its crafting difficulty far exceeds that of the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor and the Profound Gold Secret Armor.

However, as fifth-tier defensive magic treasures, these three magic treasures share some similarities in their crafting process.

It was precisely for this reason that Lu Cheng'an was confident in refining the fifth-grade, mid-level Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor.

After carefully considering the matter in his mind, Lu Cheng'an did not waste any more time and began to refine the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor.

Ten months later, Lu Cheng'an completed the crafting of the fifth-grade low-rank Spirit Flame Glazed Armor.

His weapon-refining skills have improved considerably compared to when he first refined the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor, shortening the time by nearly two months.

"The Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor and the Spirit Flame Glazed Armor have some similarities. With my current weapon-refining skills, I should be able to refine the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor."

Lu Cheng'an felt much more confident at this moment. After adjusting and recovering, he took out all the materials he had collected to refine the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor and prepared to try to refine this fifth-grade mid-level defensive magic weapon.

Lu Cheng'an had already made preparations, and he had entrusted Jin Yuan and Jin Dou with the handling of all the materials below the fourth-grade superior level.

The Mineral Spirit Clan also experiences a certain improvement in their cultivation level when refining spirit ores. Since leaving the Burial Immortal Land with Lu Cheng'an, Mineral Spirit Clan members such as Jin Yuan and Jin Dou have been constantly refining spirit ores.

Jin Yuan's cultivation level has been stuck at the early stage of the fourth rank for many years. Now, his cultivation barrier shows signs of breaking, and he may be able to break through to the middle stage of the fourth rank soon.

Jin Dou's talent for cultivation is much better than his father Jin Yuan's. His cultivation level is already stuck at the third level of perfection, and he is very close to breaking through to the fourth level.

After refining so many high-grade spirit ores at Jinding Mountain, his cultivation level also advanced smoothly, breaking through to the early stage of the fourth rank.

The Mineral Spirit Clan refines spirit ores very quickly, especially since Jin Yuan and Jin Dou have both broken through to the fourth rank, making them even faster at refining spirit ores below the fourth rank.

The various low-level materials needed to refine the fifth-tier mid-grade defensive magic weapon, the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor, can all be refined by gold coins and gold beans in just two days.

Moreover, the materials they refine are extremely effective; this is the innate ability of the Mineral Spirit Clan.

The Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor is, after all, a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon, and its crafting difficulty is much higher than that of the low-grade fifth-tier Spirit Flame Glazed Armor.

This was the first time Lu Cheng'an had ever crafted a magic weapon of this caliber, so he was extremely careful during the process, which made the crafting process very slow.

Time passed slowly, and two years went by in the blink of an eye.

"I was lucky enough to finally succeed in forging the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor!"

After taking the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor out of the refining furnace, a faint smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face.

He made some mistakes while refining the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor. These mistakes did not cause him to fail in refining the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor, but they did have a certain impact on its quality.

However, the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor is a mid-grade fifth-tier defensive magic weapon, and even though it has some flaws, its price will not be too low.

After Lu Cheng'an finished refining the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor, he quickly adjusted his breathing to recover and then walked out of the cave.

Following Lu Cheng'an's instructions, Lu Jingkun began preparing to build a complete set of magic arrays.

Lu Jingkun was preparing to build a fifth-order, low-grade Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array.

This formation can be used as a mountain-protecting formation, or it can be directly activated to transform into a battlefield to trap the enemy.

Lu Jingkun has already drawn up the diagram of the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Formation, but now he is missing the corresponding array flags.

A set of fifth-order formations requires a large number of formation flags. For example, the fifth-order low-grade Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Formation requires six fifth-order low-grade formation flags as the main formation flags.

The crafting of the array flags is not difficult, and the materials required for crafting are not particularly expensive.

After Lu Cheng'an walked out of his cave, Lu Jingkun, who was already waiting outside, welcomed him into his cave.

After explaining the requirements for refining the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array Flags to Lu Cheng'an, Lu Jingkun quickly left Lu Cheng'an's cave.

The crafting difficulty of the fifth-order low-grade array flags is not high. Lu Cheng'an completed the crafting of all six fifth-order low-grade array flags in just three months.

After that, he spent another half month refining the fourth-order array flags needed for the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array.

After these array flags were completed, Lu Jingkun took them from Lu Chengan.

This does not mean that the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array has been completed. Next, Lu Jingkun still needs to integrate these array flags into the array diagram he has drawn in advance.

At that time, cultivators who acquire the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array will only need to activate the array diagram, and this fifth-grade low-level spirit array will be set up in an instant. After Lu Cheng'an finished refining the array flags needed for the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array, he rested for a day and then began refining the Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor again.

Two more years passed. After Lu Cheng'an successfully forged the second Myriad Laws Flowing Cloud Armor, he received a message from Master Tianyun of the Yin Hua Sect.

"We must set off for Lingxu City now!"

After seeing the message sent to him by Master Tianyun, Lu Cheng'an immediately summoned Lu Jingkun and Shi Ningyu to his cave.

Mengyuan Prefecture and Lingxu City are far apart. Although one can use a teleportation array, it still takes nearly half a year to travel from Mengyuan Prefecture to Lingxu City.

There are less than five years left until the opening of the Myriad Treasures Conference in Lingxu City, and Lingxu City has already gathered a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in Lingxu City also hold private trade fairs to exchange for the treasures they need.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators acquire the treasures they need not through the Wanbao Fair held in Lingxu City, but through private trading fairs organized by local Nascent Soul cultivators within Lingxu City.

Master Tianyun wanted to go to Lingxu City so early because of the private trading event among Nascent Soul cultivators.

After Lu Jingkun and Shi Ningyu entered Lu Cheng'an's cave, Lu Cheng'an told them about the message that Master Tianyun had sent him.

"Master Tianyun is preparing to head to Lingxu City now. In the past few years, I have refined two mid-grade fifth-rank defensive magic treasures and one low-grade fifth-rank defensive magic treasure. How are your preparations going?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

"I only managed to refine a low-grade fifth-order Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array!" Lu Jingkun said with a hint of helplessness.

He needed Lu Cheng'an, a fifth-level weapon refiner, to help him refine the complete array. Lu Cheng'an had been busy refining magic weapons for the past few years, so he only asked Lu Cheng'an to refine the array flags of the Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array once.

"In the past few years, I have refined three batches of Nine-Herb Jade Purity Pills, resulting in a total of fourteen pills."

Shi Ningyu frowned slightly and said, "The Nine-Herb Jade Purity Pill is mainly a pill for improving the cultivation of cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. We need this kind of pill ourselves. Do we need to use this kind of pill for trading?"

The Nine-Herb Jade Purity Pill has a similar effect to the Pure Yang Elixir, both used to enhance the cultivation level of cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, the Nine-Herb Jade Purity Pill is more difficult to refine, and its effects are stronger than those of the Pure Yang Elixir.

Lu Cheng'an, Shi Ningyu, and Lu Jingkun are all at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the Nine-Herb Jade Purity Pill will be useful for improving their cultivation.

"In that case, leave the Nine-Herb Jade Purity Pill you refined, and we'll trade it using the fifth-order magic weapon I refined and the fifth-order spirit array Jing Kun refined."

After a moment's thought, Lu Cheng'an agreed and then asked, "Jingkun, how have the Nascent Soul cultivators in our clan been preparing all these years?"

Besides the three Nascent Soul cultivators, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu family who were practicing various cultivation arts were also doing their best to refine fourth-tier magic weapons and pills during this time.

"They have handed over all the magical artifacts and elixirs they have refined over the past few years to me. These are the fruits of their labor over the past few years. Uncle Cheng'an, take a look."

Lu Jingkun took out a storage ring and handed it to Lu Chengan.

The Lu family has a considerable number of Nascent Soul cultivators who specialize in various immortal arts, and some of them also left the Burial Ground with Lu Cheng'an.

However, their preparation time was too short this time. Even though they had been working hard to refine them for the past few years, they had not been able to produce many fourth-tier magic weapons and pills.

Lu Cheng'an was not disappointed and accepted them all.

He also had some understanding of the situation in Lingxu City; fourth-tier magic weapons and pills could fetch a good price there.

“The second and third-tier spiritual herbs that Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters have planted in those transformed spiritual lands over the years have also matured one after another. There are a lot of these second and third-tier spiritual herbs. How should we deal with them?” Lu Jingkun asked.

In the past few years, Lu Jingkun has refined a set of fifth-grade low-level Heavenly Gate Divine Lock Array, which has given him much more time.

If Lu Yonghui and other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Lu family encounter any problems, they all seek help from Lu Jingkun.

The growth cycle of second and third-tier spiritual herbs is not very long. They are planted by Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters of the Lu family near fourth-tier spiritual veins, where the spiritual energy is extremely abundant.

Such an environment will also accelerate the growth rate of the medicinal herb.

Moreover, Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters of the Lu family have been tending to these second and third-tier spiritual herbs, which is why these second and third-tier spiritual herbs are maturing at this time.

"Have Yonghui harvest all these mature second and third-tier spiritual herbs. I'll handle the processing," Lu Cheng'an said.

Spiritual herbs can not only be used for alchemy, but also as raw materials for spirit talisman masters to refine talismans. Moreover, some spiritual herbs can be taken directly to improve one's cultivation level.

Among these second- and third-tier spiritual herbs, there are some that can directly enhance a cultivator's cultivation level.

However, there are not many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators left the Burial Immortal Land in the Lu family now, so these second and third-tier spiritual herbs will not be of much use to the Lu family after they mature.

Lu Cheng'an planned to sell these second- and third-tier spiritual herbs to the Yin Hua Sect and the Tian Shi Sect.

Both of these sects are Nascent Soul sects, with a large number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. They have a great demand for second and third-tier low-grade spiritual herbs.

Lu Cheng'an also knew about these two sects. They were not good at cultivating spiritual herbs, so they would purchase many low-grade spiritual herbs from outside every year to refine low-grade pills.

After Lu Cheng'an gave the instructions, Lu Jingkun immediately notified Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters, instructing them to begin harvesting the mature spiritual herbs.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an set off from Jinding Mountain with these things and headed towards Yinhua Sect.

Lu Cheng'an plans to go to the Wanbao Assembly in Lingxu City alone, while Shi Ningyu and Lu Jingkun, both cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, need to stay at Jinding Mountain to prevent a sneak attack by the demonic cultivators of Qianyuan Prefecture.

"Sect Master, these are the second and third-tier spiritual herbs I told you about. Do you think Yin Hua Sect needs them?"

Upon arriving at Yin Hua Sect, Lu Cheng'an was immediately led into the cave by Tianyun Shangren.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Cheng'an took out all the second and third-grade spiritual herbs.

Over the years, Lu Yonghui and other spiritual plant masters of the Lu family have planted second- and third-tier spiritual herbs in the spiritual lands that have been transformed. These spiritual herbs have all matured recently, and there are a great many of them.

Lu Cheng'an roughly estimated that if all these spiritual herbs were sold, they could fetch about 20,000 spirit pearls.

This is no small sum; after all, even a high-quality, low-grade fifth-tier magic weapon only costs around five thousand spirit pearls. (End of Chapter)
