Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 10 Returning to the Family (Please recommend and read on!)

Lu Cheng'an did not forget his mission. Before leaving Huohuai Mountain, he specifically inquired about the recent situation of the tribesmen at the foot of the mountain and instructed Lu Yong and the other members of the patrol team to strengthen their patrols.

After making these arrangements, he summoned the yellow paper crane and headed towards Chiyan Mountain.

The yellow paper crane wasn't particularly fast, but Chiyan Mountain and Huohuai Mountain were only fifty li apart. Lu Cheng'an rode the yellow paper crane leisurely for less than an hour before returning to Chiyan Mountain.

After returning to Chiyan Mountain, Lu Cheng'an clearly felt that a rather heavy atmosphere was shrouding the entire mountain.

He didn't ask too many questions, but went directly to his uncle, Lu Wenhua.

"Uncle, has something happened in the clan? I feel like something's not quite right," Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

"Do you remember the bandit cultivators from Black Pine Mountain that I told you about? Just as the clan leader predicted, Liu Xun is trying to seize the wealth of my Lu family. He has been frequently probing around the clan recently."

A cold look appeared on Lu Wenhua's face. He looked at Lu Cheng'an and said with a smile, "But you don't need to worry. The clan leader has already made arrangements. If Liu Xun really can't help but make a move, he will definitely lose his life here!"

Lu Wenhua clearly had great confidence in Lu Wenxing and did not take Liu Xun, a bandit cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining who was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, seriously.

"The people of Firelocust Mountain cannot be without the care of cultivators for a long time. Although the clan has given you two days, you cannot stay for two days. I will take you to choose a spell now."

When Lu Wenhua mentioned the mortal clansmen of Fire Locust Mountain, his expression turned serious again. Although those mortal clansmen would not improve the clan's combat strength, they were the clan's hope for rise.

"Uncle, let's wait a bit before choosing the spell. I have something very important to tell you."

After Lu Cheng'an called out to Lu Wenhua, he opened the bundle that was placed aside, revealing the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass inside, as well as the two pieces of first-tier mineral material that he couldn't name.

"Four Fire Essence Mother Fungus, five Fire Essence Grass, and two pieces of Flame Iron Ore!"

Upon seeing the items Lu Cheng'an had produced, Lu Wenhua exclaimed in surprise, "Cheng'an, where did you get all this stuff?"

Both Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass are first-grade superior spiritual herbs, while Flame Iron Ore is a first-grade superior mineral material.

These are no ordinary items. It's really strange that Lu Cheng'an, who is guarding Huohuai Mountain, has obtained so many first-grade high-quality spiritual items.

"This is what I wanted to tell my uncle!"

Lu Chengan smiled and said, "I entered the underground passage on Fire Locust Mountain and found that the fire evil energy in the passage had no effect on me... I picked the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass deep in the passage, and I found these two pieces of Flame Iron Ore at the bottom of the Lava River. There are many more ores like this at the bottom of the Lava River."

"Is everything you said true?"

Lu Wenhua paced back and forth in front of Lu Cheng'an. He knew his nephew wouldn't lie, but this matter was truly shocking.

If all of this is true, then let alone seeking revenge against the Zhao family of Tianhong, the rise of the Lu family is just around the corner.

"Uncle, what I said is true. Should we tell the clan leader and elders about this?" Lu Cheng'an asked. Lu Wenhua was his uncle, so naturally he should tell his uncle first about his ability to enter the lava river.

As for whether or not to tell Lu Wenxing and the others, he needs to discuss it with his uncle before making a decision.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an was more inclined to tell Lu Wenxing and the others.

After all, if he wants to pursue the path of weapon crafting, he will need the help of his family elders to seize the inheritance of weapon crafting.

"This matter must be told to the clan leader. We'll go find the clan leader now!" Lu Wenhua seemed somewhat anxious. The moment his voice fell, he led Lu Cheng'an directly to Lu Wenxing's cave.

Lu Wenxing is currently preparing to fight the bandits of Black Pine Mountain. He is not in seclusion, so Lu Cheng'an and his nephew were able to meet Lu Wenxing without any trouble.

"Cheng'an, you've returned from Fire Locust Mountain so quickly. Have you already chosen a suitable spell?" Lu Wenxing asked with a smile upon seeing Lu Cheng'an.

"Reporting to the clan leader, I have just returned to the clan and have not yet had time to choose a spell."

After respectfully bowing to Lu Wenxing, Lu Cheng'an continued, "I mainly want to report something to the clan leader. While guarding Huohuai Mountain, I accidentally discovered... these are the treasures I obtained in the underground passage and the lava river!"

Lu Cheng'an recounted what he had told Lu Wenhua to Lu Wenxing, and also took out the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass.

Lu Wenxing's face showed a thoughtful expression. He glanced at Lu Wenhua and then looked at Lu Chengan: "Besides Wenhua, have you told anyone else about this?"

“Cheng’an was quite cautious about this matter; he only told me. After I learned of it, I immediately brought him to see the clan leader,” Lu Wenhua said.

“Cheng’an has done well. You all know the current situation of the family. The information that Cheng’an was able to enter the underground lava river should be kept to the three of us. Once this information is exposed, it could bring Cheng’an death. Don’t forget that we fled here!”

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Wenxing's face. They were relatively far away from the Tianhong Zhao family, and they posed no threat to the Tianhong Zhao family. Moreover, the Tianhong Zhao family itself was currently embroiled in trouble, which gave them a chance to catch their breath.

If the Zhao family of Tianhong knew that the Lu family had a chance to rise, they would definitely not let them continue to develop.

“The clan leader is right, but Cheng’an has such ability, should we just let it go to waste?” Lu Wenhua said with a frown.

Lu Cheng'an entered the lava river primarily to obtain the treasures nurtured within it.

If they wanted to keep this information a secret, they could only tell Lu Cheng'an not to search for treasures in the lava river as much as possible, otherwise it would be exposed sooner or later.

“Cheng’an also said that the most abundant minerals in the lava river are first-tier minerals, which are not easy to mine. Cheng’an can mine some and keep some for his own use,” Lu Wenxing sighed.

He knew this was burying Cheng'an's talent, but the Lu family really couldn't afford to take that risk right now.

If this news really reaches the Zhao family of Tianhong, even though the Zhao family is currently embroiled in trouble, they will do their best to wipe out the Lu family.
