Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 110 Snatching Food from a Tiger's Mouth (Please Subscribe!)
Among the six second-tier spells collected by the Qingling Chen Clan, one is a fire-attribute spell called the Piercing Fire Finger.

The Cave Fire Finger and Lu Cheng'an's first-tier technique, the Fire Void Finger, have many similarities, but the Cave Fire Finger, a second-tier technique, is far more difficult to cultivate than the Fire Void Finger.

If Lu Cheng'an were to fight Zhao Wuying using the Perfected Realm of Cave Fire Finger, he could kill Zhao Wuying on his own, even without Lu Wenxing's help.

Apart from the Fire Finger Technique, the other four spells were not fire-attribute spells, so Lu Cheng'an did not waste time on those four spells.

"I never expected that the Chen family of Qingling would have a formula for Foundation Establishment Pills!" Lu Cheng'an exclaimed in surprise.

The Foundation Establishment Pill formula collected by the Qingling Chen Clan also requires the use of Spirit Marrow to replenish Yuanzhi. Lu Cheng'an suspects that this formula is the same as the one collected by the three Foundation Establishment forces, including Dan Ding Sect.

"It is indeed the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but unfortunately, this formula is the most useless!" Lu Wenxing sighed.

Foundation Building Pills are precious, but the formula for them is not particularly expensive.

The preciousness of the Foundation Building Pill lies in its high difficulty in refining and the scarcity of refining materials.

The Spirit Essence Nourishing Mushroom recorded in this prescription is only of the second-grade low quality, but its growth cycle is extremely long, requiring two hundred years to mature.

Moreover, the artificial cultivation of Ling Sui Bu Yuan Zhi is very difficult. Basically, only forces with Golden Core cultivators in charge have the method to cultivate Ling Sui Bu Yuan Zhi.

It was for this reason that Lu Wenxing remained so calm after seeing the Foundation Establishment Pill formula collected by the Qingling Chen Clan.

The Lu family and the Qingling Chen family were in similar situations; neither had an alchemist capable of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, nor did they have the materials to do so.

Even if one obtains the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, one can only leave it aside to gather dust.

"I think the second-tier spell, Fire Finger, is quite good. Would you like to learn this spell?" Lu Wenxing asked with a smile.

"If I want to cultivate this technique, then I'll put away the cultivation manual for now!"

Lu Cheng'an was very satisfied with the second-tier technique, the Cave Fire Finger. After telling Lu Wenxing, he put the cultivation manual of this technique into his storage bag.

After taking stock of the books collected by the Qingling Chen Clan, Lu Wenxing and Lu Cheng'an started talking about the cultivators of the Qingling Chen Clan.

"The Qingling Chen Clan had a total of 128 Qi Refining Realm cultivators. We have killed only 115 of them. There are still 13 on the run. Among these 13 is Chen Jinghe, a Foundation Establishment seed of the Qingling Chen Clan. He is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining!"

When Lu Wenxing mentioned Chen Jinghe, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"I did not find the Foundation Establishment spiritual item that Chen Shiyun purchased in Tianyan City on the Chen family cultivators. I suspect that the Foundation Establishment spiritual item is on Chen Jinghe!"

The feud between the Lu family and the Qingling Chen family began around the time Chen Shiyun purchased that Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

Chen Shiyun never got to use the Foundation Establishment spiritual item he purchased because the cultivator from the Chen family who was able to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm by consuming this item was killed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Zi Luan Wang clan.

"Does the clan chief have a way to find Chen Jingyun?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

Chen Jingyun's cultivation level is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. They have not been able to find Chen Jingyun in the past five days, and it will be even more difficult to find him in the future.

"You don't need to worry about that. My Lu family ancestor once obtained a curse called the Blood Forbidden Curse. Once activated, any cultivator who possesses the bloodline of the Qingling Chen clan will be cursed to death!"

A ruthless look appeared on Lu Wenxing's face. Although the Lu family had possessed the Blood Forbidden Curse for quite some time, no Lu family cultivator had ever cast it.

The reason for this is that this curse is against the natural order, and it will also cause great backlash to the person who cast it.

The more cultivators killed by this curse, the more severe the backlash will be.

The Blood Forbidden Curse is a secret technique mastered by the Lu family, and it is basically known only to the patriarch of the Lu family.

After hearing Lu Wenxing explain what the Blood Forbidden Curse was, Lu Cheng'an's face immediately turned serious: "Let's save the Blood Forbidden Curse for last. Let's try to find Chen Jingyun first. After all, he is a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator. If we mobilize the rogue cultivators to search for him, there is still a good chance of finding him."

The Black Pine Mountain Market built by the Lu family was doing very well. After Lu Wenxing broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he took away a lot of business from the Yunyang Market.

The Lu family treated those independent cultivators very well, which made the surrounding independent cultivators have a very good impression of the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an felt that if the Lu family mobilized those independent cultivators to search for the whereabouts of Chen Jingyun and other Chen family cultivators, there would still be a good chance of finding them.

“What you said makes sense. Let’s send the rogue cultivators to search first. If we really can’t find it, then we can activate the Blood Forbidden Curse. We can use this time to collect the materials needed to cast the Blood Forbidden Curse,” Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

Blood-forbidden spells are different from magic spells. If a cultivator wants to cast such a spell, they need to prepare the necessary materials in advance.

One of the main materials for casting the Blood Forbidden Curse is the heart's blood of the Qingling Chen Clan cultivators. Lu Wenxing had already prepared this material when he killed the Qingling Chen Clan Qi Refining Realm cultivators. "I will send a message to the Grand Elder now and have him mobilize the rogue cultivators to find the escaped Qingling Chen Clan cultivators."

After sending a message to the Grand Elder, Lu Wenxing continued, "There is a second-tier spiritual vein in Qingling Mountain. In addition, the Qingling Chen Clan also occupies a second-tier Crimson Essence Iron Mine. The family must take over that Crimson Essence Iron Mine!"

The Lu family was quite familiar with the Qingling Chen Clan; the red iron produced from that second-tier red iron mine could be used to forge various second-tier magical artifacts.

This mine brings the Qingling Chen family an income of more than five thousand spirit stones every year, which is an extremely high amount.

"The Azure Wood Thousand Blossoms Formation on Azure Spirit Mountain has been activated. Even cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment stage will find it difficult to enter. Let's go check out the Crimson Essence Iron Mine now!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned as he thought of the location of the red iron mine.

The Chijing Iron Mine is located in Yuhua Mountain. Although Yuhua Mountain is the territory of the Qingling Chen Clan, it is close to the Ziluan Wang Clan.

The reason why the Chen family of Qingling and the Wang family of Ziluan formed such a deep enmity was because of this Chijing Iron Mine.

Unfortunately, the methods of the Zi Luan Wang clan were still one step behind those of the Qing Ling Chen clan, and in the end, the Chi Jing Iron Mine still fell into the hands of the Qing Ling Chen clan.

Five days have passed since the Qingling Chen clan was wiped out, and the Ziluan Wang clan, which is so close to the Qingling Chen clan, could not possibly be unaware of this news.

However, there has been no news from the Zi Luan Wang clan these past few days, which is quite strange.

Lu Cheng'an and his companion wasted no time. After agreeing on their plans, they headed straight for Yuhua Mountain, where the Chijing Iron Mine was located.

Yuhua Mountain and Qingling Mountain, where the Chen family's mountain gate is located, are more than 400 li apart. Lu Cheng'an and his companion arrived at Yuhua Mountain in less than two hours.

Yuhua Mountain has always been guarded by a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator from the Qingling Chen Clan. However, the Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator guarding Yuhua Mountain was also called away by Chen Shiyun and died long ago at the foot of Chiyan Mountain.

The Chen family cultivators who remained to guard Yuhua Mountain scattered and fled after receiving Chen Shiyun's message.

However, most of the escaped Chen family cultivators died at the hands of Lu Cheng'an and his companion.

Yuhua Mountain also has the Star Radiance River Formation, a second-tier low-grade spirit array meticulously arranged by the Chen family. This spirit array is mainly a defensive spirit array.

The Qi Refining Realm cultivators from the Chen family hurriedly fled from Yuhua Mountain, without having time to dismantle or destroy the spirit array.

"Clan leader, the second-tier spirit array on Jade Flower Mountain is activated, and someone has already arrived here before us!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

"Let's see who's moving so fast!" A cold smile appeared on Lu Wenxing's face as he led Lu Cheng'an at an even faster speed towards Yuhua Mountain.

A moment later, a purple phoenix flew out from Yuhua Mountain.

A middle-aged man in a purple robe stood atop the purple phoenix. Upon seeing Lu Wenxing and Lu Cheng'an, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Lu family, please stop here. This Jade Flower Mountain has been occupied by our Purple Phoenix Wang Clan. Please leave immediately!"

This middle-aged man is Wang Zhongyuan, the patriarch of the Ziluan Wang clan. Lu Wenxing had previously cooperated with Wang Zhongyuan once to jointly deal with the Qingling Chen clan.

Even when Chen Shiyun and Zhao Wuying joined forces to attack the Lu family, Lu Wenxing sought help from Zi Luan Wang Shi, but Wang Shi did not respond.

Now, due to the existence of this second-tier red iron ore mine in Yuhua Mountain, the two companies can no longer continue their cooperation.

Lu Wenxing's gaze fell on the huge purple phoenix at Wang Zhongyuan's feet. This purple phoenix was called Phoenix-Headed Purple Phoenix, and it was the most numerous demon beast kept by the Purple Phoenix Wang Clan.

When Wang Zhongyuan first entered the Qi Refining Realm, he had cultivated a Phoenix-Headed Purple Phoenix. However, after his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Phoenix-Headed Purple Phoenix he cultivated remained at the first rank.

Over the years, the Phoenix-Headed Purple Phoenix that Wang Zhongyuan had been cultivating had not made any breakthroughs, but now it has broken through to become a second-tier demon beast.

It was precisely for this reason that Wang Zhongyuan dared to speak with such confidence to Lu Wenxing and the other person.

When Lu Cheng'an saw Wang Zhongyuan coming out of Yuhua Mountain, a cold smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to curse and attack Wang Zhongyuan, Lu Wenxing stopped him.

"Wang Zhongyuan, is your Wang family sure you want to make an enemy of our Lu family over this Red Essence Iron Mine?" Lu Wenxing asked coldly.

“It’s not that our Wang family wants to be enemies with your Lu family, but the red iron ore of Yuhua Mountain originally belonged to our Wang family,” Wang Zhongyuan said in a deep voice.

"I hope you won't regret the decision you made today!" Lu Wenxing glanced coldly at Wang Zhongyuan, then left Yuhua Mountain with Lu Chengan.

“Clan leader, why did you stop me just now? Wang Zhongyuan is definitely no match for the two of us!” Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.
