Chapter 111 The Difficult Problem of the Cultivation Method for Rapidly Increasing Lifespan (Please Subscribe!)
"Wang Zhongyuan alone is indeed not a threat, but adding that early-stage second-tier Phoenix-headed Purple Luan makes things hard to say!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and said, "Even if we can take the Red Essence Iron Ore back from Wang Zhongyuan, we will have to pay a considerable price."

Lu Wenxing's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and he continued, "Of course, these are not the main reasons why I gave up on the Red Essence Iron Mine. The main reason I gave up on the Red Essence Iron Mine is because Yuhua Mountain is too far away from the family!"

Lu Wenxing sighed slightly as he finished speaking.

Yuhua Mountain and Chiyan Mountain are nearly a thousand miles apart. If the Lu family wants to mine Chijing Iron Ore, they will need to send cultivators from their clan to guard such a distant place.

Although the Lu family currently has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Wenxing, the number of Qi Refining cultivators in the clan is far from sufficient.

Besides the great distance, there is another very important reason.

That means the eruption of the Burning Flame Mountains is getting closer and closer, at which time a large number of outside cultivators will definitely enter the Burning Flame Mountains.

What the family needs to do now is to consolidate its power and gather it in one place to avoid being attacked by outside cultivators.

In such a situation, it is not suitable for the family to expand too much, as that could easily lead to danger.

"Furthermore, your cultivation has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and you haven't even become familiar with the power of the Foundation Establishment realm yet. It's not suitable for you to continue fighting against cultivators in the Foundation Establishment realm."

Your first priority now is to consolidate your newly achieved cultivation level. You don't need to worry about family matters for the time being.

"Once your cultivation is fully consolidated and you have mastered the true power of the Foundation Establishment realm, dealing with the Purple Phoenix Clan will be a very simple matter," Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

He knew clearly what Lu Cheng'an's current situation was; Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

It was because his family was facing the danger of extinction that Lu Cheng'an left Qing'e Island so quickly to return to his family to provide support.

Otherwise, Lu Wenxing would definitely not want Lu Chengan to do this.

There was another very important reason why Lu Wenxing so decisively gave up the red iron mine: he was worried that Lu Chengan would get injured at this time.

After explaining to Lu Cheng'an, Lu Wenxing led Lu Cheng'an back to Qingling Mountain from Yuhua Mountain.

Qingling Mountain is the location of the Qingling Chen Clan's mountain gate, and the most precious thing here is the second-order spiritual vein nurtured within Qingling Mountain.

"Clan leader, what should we do with the second-tier spiritual vein in Qingling Mountain?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

Qingling Mountain and Chiyan Mountain are 500 miles apart. The second-order spiritual veins nurtured in Qingling Mountain are better than those in Chiyan Mountain, but the Lu family cannot afford to relocate the entire family again.

Moreover, the Lu family currently has a small number of cultivators, making it difficult to spare any more to guard Qingling Mountain.

That is why Lu Cheng'an raised such a question.

“I intend to abandon the spiritual land of Qingling Mountain. I will find a suitable cultivator to sell it,” Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

The Lu family will definitely suffer some losses, but they have no other choice at the moment.

But this was the best solution Lu Wenxing could think of, as the Lu family couldn't spare the manpower to manage another spiritual land with a second-tier spiritual vein.

"Don't worry about clan matters for now. I'll return to the clan with you later. After the clan meeting, you should immediately return to Qing'e Island to consolidate your cultivation," Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

Lu Cheng'an had no objection to this. After agreeing with Lu Wenxing, they returned to Chiyan Mountain together.

After the previous battle, Chiyan Mountain suffered severe damage to its infrastructure, including the destruction of the second-tier low-grade defensive spirit array, the Fire Bamboo Earth Element Array.

However, after Lu Cheng'an and Lu Wenxing left for so many days, Chiyan Mountain has basically recovered under the command of Lu Wensheng and other elders of the Lu family.

After seeing the progress of the restoration of Chiyan Mountain, Lu Wenxing was quite satisfied with what Lu Wensheng and other elders of the Lu family had done.

After Lu Wenxing brought Lu Cheng'an back to Chiyan Mountain, he immediately issued an order to gather all the cultivators of the Lu family in the ancestral hall. He wanted to hold a clan meeting to discuss the matter.

Because of the joint attack by Zhao Wuying and Chen Shiyun, both Foundation Establishment cultivators, all the cultivators of the Lu family have now gathered at Chiyan Mountain.

After Lu Wenxing issued the order, all thirty-three Qi Refining Realm cultivators of the Lu family gathered in the ancestral hall.

"This time, our family was attacked by two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Zhao Wuying and Chen Shiyun..."

Lu Wenxing recounted the events that had befallen the Lu family in a heavy tone, then his tone lightened as he continued, "Lu Cheng'an successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm at the most crucial moment... The Qingling Chen clan has been completely wiped out..."

Although the Lu family suffered an attack from two Foundation Establishment cultivators, apart from some property losses, there were no casualties, which is an important reason why Lu Wenxing's tone became lighter.

After briefly summarizing the family's gains, Lu Wenxing asked Lu Wensheng and other elders of the Lu family to express their opinions.

"The Tianhong Zhao Clan had two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in total. Now that Zhao Wuying has died at the hands of our Lu family, the Zhao Clan only has Zhao Wusheng left, the only Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. When are we going to seek revenge on the Zhao Clan?" Elder Lu Wensheng said in a deep voice.

The moment Lu Wensheng finished speaking, Lu Wenhua and the other cultivators immediately turned their gazes to Lu Wenxing.

Currently, the Lu family has two Foundation Establishment cultivators, while the Zhao family only has one Foundation Establishment cultivator left. The Lu family's current strength is greater than the Zhao family's!
The direct relatives of Lu Wensheng and Lu Wenhua, these cultivators of the Lu family, all died at the hands of the Tianhong Zhao family. Now that their Lu family has the strength to take revenge, they are naturally impatient.

After feeling the gazes of Lu Wensheng and the others, Lu Wenxing let out a helpless sigh: "I understand your feelings, but the matter of seeking revenge against the Zhao family of Tianhong needs to be put on hold for a while longer!"
Cheng An's cultivation has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm. He hasn't had time to consolidate his cultivation yet, and he hasn't fully mastered the power of the Foundation Establishment realm.

In addition, our family has just destroyed the Qingling Chen Clan and has not yet fully digested the resources plundered from them. Moreover, the Tianhong Zhao Clan is still too far away from us.

Therefore, let's discuss the family's revenge against the Tianhong Zhao family after these matters are resolved!

Lu Wenxing naturally wanted to seek revenge against the Zhao family of Tianhong, but the Lu family's current situation was not suitable for long-distance warfare.

Moreover, they didn't know much about the Tianhong Zhao family. Before taking action against the Tianhong Zhao family, they should at least find out more about their situation.

After Lu Wenxing's analysis, the Lu family cultivators, who were originally eager to seek revenge against the Tianhong Zhao family, gradually calmed down.

Shortly afterward, Lu Wenxing announced the end of the clan meeting and secretly urged Lu Chengan to return to Qing'e Island as soon as possible to consolidate his newly broken-through cultivation.

Lu Cheng'an did not stay at Chiyan Mountain for long after the clan meeting ended. He met with his uncle in private and then hurriedly returned to Qing'e Island.

Green Crocodile Island.

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an return, Zhu Yan immediately greeted him with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Lu, you're back! How is your Lu family doing now?" Zhu Yan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Cheng'an; she seemed extremely happy.

Indeed, Zhu Yan was in a very good mood after seeing Lu Cheng'an.

Originally, she followed Lu Cheng'an to the Lu family with the intention of helping them, and did not intend to ask the Lu family for any reward.

However, after helping the Lu family, she received three low-grade second-tier magic artifacts and two bottles of low-grade second-tier pills from them.

Some of these magical artifacts and elixirs were of little use to her, but they were highly sought-after items deep within the Burning Flame Mountains, and could certainly be exchanged for treasures useful to her and her people.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Zhu. The matters in the clan have been basically resolved. I am eager to return to Qing'e Island mainly to consolidate my newly broken-through cultivation!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

“That’s right. I’ve never allowed any of the clan’s cultivators to set foot around the Fire Spring. You should go now!” Zhu Yan said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an wasted no time; after parting ways with Zhu Yan, he went straight to the fire spring.

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged beside the fire spring, then closed his eyes and began to check the changes on the panel.

Since leaving Green Crocodile Island after his breakthrough that day, he has never had a moment's rest.

I only had a fleeting moment to glance at the changes in lifespan before, and I didn't have time to observe the rest of the time carefully.

"My lifespan has increased to 260 years. I wonder if my lifespan will reach 400 years when my cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

A look of joy appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face, because under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage is only a little over two hundred years.

There are significant differences between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators. While Qi Refining cultivators share many similarities with ordinary people, Foundation Establishment cultivators and ordinary people have virtually no similarities other than their physical appearance.

Moreover, for every small breakthrough a Foundation Establishment cultivator makes, their lifespan increases by about ten years. A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator can generally live for over three hundred years, but it is difficult to cross the four hundred mark.

Lu Cheng'an already has a lifespan of 260 years, which exceeds that of many cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. That's why he's thinking that once his cultivation breaks through to the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, his lifespan might exceed 400 years.

"My constitution is still a Fire Elemental Spirit Body, there's been no change. I don't know how to improve it?"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly. He had originally thought that his physique would also improve after his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, but his physique had not changed at all.

"The current Fire Elemental Spirit is sufficient!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly and began to check the status of cultivation level and technique.

His cultivation level was still at the initial stage when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, without any increase. The words "can be hidden" appeared after the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, which he had already cultivated to perfection.

"Not only Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, Fire Void Finger, Fire Armor Technique, but also other techniques now have the option to be hidden."

Lu Cheng'an instantly understood the reason. Whether it was the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, the Fire Void Finger, or the Fire Armor Technique, they were all of the first rank.

His cultivation level has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and these first-tier cultivation techniques and spells are no longer compatible with his current level.

He now needs to choose a second-tier cultivation technique and spell to practice.

The Lu family had just obtained a second-tier fire-attribute spell, Cave Fire Finger, from the Qingling Chen Clan. Among the second-tier spells collected by the Lu family, there was also a fire-attribute spell called Starfire Seal.

Both Starfire Seal and Cave Fire Finger are offensive techniques, and Lu Cheng'an brought the cultivation methods for both techniques from his family.

Once his cultivation is consolidated, he will prepare to practice these two second-tier techniques.

"The speed of cultivating second-tier spells can be slowed down for the time being, but cultivating second-tier techniques is a difficult task!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply. The Lu family currently has a total of six second-tier cultivation techniques. Regardless of the quality of these six second-tier cultivation techniques, none of them are fire-attribute techniques.

This means that none of these six second-tier cultivation techniques are suitable for Lu Cheng'an to cultivate!
Lu Cheng'an can also continue to cultivate the first-tier Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, but the cultivation speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator who cultivates a first-tier technique will become very slow, and the quality of the mana obtained from cultivation will be far inferior to that of a second-tier technique.

For this reason, even if Lu Cheng'an gives up cultivation during this period, he will not cultivate the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique to improve his cultivation level.

"The clan leader will go to the Dan Ding Sect to help me purchase a second-tier fire-attribute cultivation technique. However, even if the Dan Ding Sect is willing to sell, the quality of the technique they offer will definitely not be very good."

There is a huge difference between cultivation techniques. High-quality techniques can make cultivators stronger, while low-quality techniques will greatly weaken them.

"Let's wait for news from the Pill Cauldron Sect. If the cultivation techniques they offer are of poor quality, then we'll have to think of other solutions!"

"There is still a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave in the clan that we haven't explored yet. Once my cultivation is consolidated, I can go with the clan leader to explore that Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave."

This cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was created by the Song family after Lu Wenxing broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. The Song family took the initiative to tell the Lu family this secret.

However, at that time, Lu Wenxing's cultivation had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and afterwards, the Lu family could not do without Lu Wenxing's presence.

Moreover, at that time, the Lu family only had Lu Wenxing, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he dared not rashly explore the cave of an unknown Foundation Establishment cultivator.
