Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 114 News from the Zhao Family: Preparations for Action (Please Subscribe!)
The Earth Flame True Scripture was originally a fourth-tier cultivation method that could be directly cultivated to the Nascent Soul Perfection realm. It consisted of four parts: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.

The Dan Ding Sect includes sections on Qi Refining and Foundation Building.

The Earth Flame True Scripture that Lu Wenxing obtained from the Dan Ding Sect did not only have the Foundation Building chapter, but also the Qi Refining chapter.

After seeing the Earth Flame True Scripture, Lu Cheng'an only glanced at it and found it obscure and difficult to understand, so he did not study it seriously.

Now that he is preparing to study the Earth Flame True Scripture, he is paying much more attention to it than he did last time.

After spending three days studying the Earth Flame True Scripture, Lu Cheng'an discovered that the technique was not as difficult as he had imagined.

"Besides my own high level of comprehension, there should also be the bonus from the Fire Virtue Spirit Body and the panel strength, which will make it easier for me to cultivate fire attribute techniques and spells."

After Lu Cheng'an detected the changes in the cultivation technique section using his divine sense, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

[Cultivation Technique: Earth Flame True Scripture (Beginner 1/100)]

Lu Cheng'an had already hidden the first-tier cultivation technique, Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, so it was not displayed on the panel.

The panel now shows that he has entered the beginner level of the Earth Flame True Scripture. Although it is only one percent, Lu Cheng'an is still confident that he can quickly improve his comprehension speed of the Earth Flame True Scripture.

After all, he had already found a way to quickly improve the progress of the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique when he was cultivating it; all he needed to do was recite the contents of the technique every day.

Of course, if you carefully study the inner meaning of the technique, you will be able to comprehend it even faster.

After Lu Wenxing has grasped the basics of the Earth Flame True Scripture, he can begin to cultivate using this technique.

He had been at the Foundation Establishment stage for over three months. After being able to use the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique for cultivation, he did not deepen his understanding of the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, but instead began to cultivate it directly.

The Foundation Establishment technique takes far longer to complete one full cycle than the Qi Refining technique. In addition, Lu Cheng'an's understanding of the Earth Flame True Scripture was too shallow. After completing one full cycle of the Earth Flame True Scripture, it took Lu Cheng'an a full eleven hours, which was almost a whole day.

"My cultivation progress is still at 0. I wonder how many major cycles I need to circulate my energy before my cultivation increases by even a little bit?"

Seeing that his cultivation progress remained unchanged on the panel, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

When his cultivation broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, he could no longer increase his cultivation level after circulating the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique for one full cycle.

Now that his cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the increase in cultivation from circulating the cultivation technique for one full cycle will definitely be less.

However, this is quite normal.

It is much more difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to improve their cultivation than a Qi Refining cultivator. If he could increase his cultivation by circulating the Earth Flame True Scripture for one full cycle, then his cultivation speed in the Foundation Establishment realm would not be much slower than that in the Qi Refining realm, which would be contrary to common sense.

The meridians of Foundation Establishment cultivators are much stronger than those of Qi Refining cultivators. Even though Lu Cheng'an cultivated for eleven hours using the Earth Flame True Scripture, his meridians still did not feel any burden.

However, Lu Cheng'an did not continue to cultivate the Earth Flame True Scripture, but instead began to comprehend it.

His current understanding of the Earth Flame True Scripture is too superficial. If he could deepen his understanding of this technique, the time it would take him to complete one full cycle of cultivation would be greatly shortened.

Time passed slowly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

Through Lu Cheng'an's daily, uninterrupted recitation and study, he reached the fourteenth level of the beginner level in his understanding of the Earth Flame True Scripture.

Just as the speed at which Lu Cheng'an improved his cultivation through practicing the technique slowed down, the speed at which he comprehended the technique through reciting it also slowed down.

In the past two weeks, he has been reciting the text continuously and studying it diligently, but his progress in the cultivation method has only increased by thirteen points, averaging less than one point per day.

Even so, Lu Cheng'an was still quite satisfied with his cultivation progress, since his speed still surpassed that of other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"The cultivators in the clan have already investigated the situation of the Tianhong Zhao Clan. The clan leader asked about my current strength, probably because he wants to take action against the Tianhong Zhao Clan now!"

Upon receiving the message from the clan leader, Lu Cheng'an immediately stopped studying the Earth Flame True Scripture and stood up from beside the fire spring.

Lu Cheng'an told Zhu Yan that there was something going on in the clan and he needed to go back. Then he left Qing'e Island and sped towards Chiyan Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an has not yet refined a second-tier magic sword, nor has he cultivated a second-tier sword control technique, so he is not yet able to fly.

Even so, his current travel speed is still far greater than that of someone at the Qi Refining stage.

The distance between Qinge Island and Chiyan Mountain was not far. After leaving Qinge Island, he arrived at Chiyan Mountain in less than an hour.

"Cheng'an, you're back from Green Crocodile Island so quickly!" Lu Wenxing smiled with slight surprise upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, then asked, "How is your strength now?"

"I've been consolidating my cultivation and practicing the second-tier technique, the Cave Fire Finger, during this period. My strength has improved a lot compared to before, but my cultivation level hasn't increased much!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Lu Wenhua, asking, "What is the current strength of the Tianhong Zhao family? Should we take action against them now?"

The information conveyed by the communication talisman was limited. Lu Wenxing only told Lu Cheng'an that the cultivators in his clan had found out about the Tianhong Zhao clan, but he did not explain in detail.

“In recent years, the Tianhong Zhao Clan has not added any new Foundation Establishment cultivators. There are still only Zhao Wusheng and Zhao Wuying. Zhao Wuying has been killed by us, and now the Zhao family only has Zhao Wusheng as the only Foundation Establishment cultivator left.”

Thinking of the situation of the Zhao family of Tianhong, Lu Wenxing couldn't help but smile: "Now, the Zhao family of Tianhong has somehow provoked a rogue cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. Before Zhao Wuying came to attack us, that rogue cultivator had broken into Tianhong Mountain and killed many Qi Refining stage cultivators of the Zhao family."

Unfortunately, that Foundation Establishment cultivator was no match for the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhao family and was injured by Zhao Wusheng and his companion. He hasn't shown his face since, and we don't know how strong he is now!

After a brief sigh, Lu Wenxing continued, "I plan to head to the Tianhong Zhao Clan now. Currently, the Zhao Clan only has Zhao Wusheng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, left. With the combined strength of the two of us, we are more than capable of annihilating the Tianhong Zhao Clan!"

“I have no objection, but the Tianhong Zhao Clan and the Secret Pill Zhang Clan have colluded. If we exterminate the Tianhong Zhao Clan, will the Secret Pill Zhang Clan retaliate? Should we make some further preparations?” Lu Cheng’an said in a deep voice.

"You don't need to worry about the Secret Pill Zhang Clan. Now the Pill Cauldron Sect has added two Foundation Establishment cultivators, which has surpassed the Secret Pill Zhang Clan in terms of the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Previously, the Zhang family of Secret Pills attacked the Pill Cauldron Sect. Now, the Pill Cauldron Sect has begun to retaliate against the Zhang family of Secret Pills. If the Zhang family of Secret Pills doesn't want to suffer even greater losses, they will absolutely not spare any more strength to attack us!

The Zhang family of Secret Pills and the Pill Cauldron Sect have always had a grudge against each other, but they will not fight to the death like the Lu family and the Zhao family of Tianhong, because that would not benefit either of them.

After all, there was a powerful Yuan Dan Sect among them.

Although the Yuan Dan Sect currently claims to be indifferent to worldly affairs, it has never participated in the struggle between the Secret Pill Zhang Clan and the Pill Cauldron Sect.

However, if the strength of the Secret Pill Zhang Clan and the Pill Cauldron Sect is greatly weakened, the Yuan Pill Sect will definitely not stand idly by anymore, and it is very likely that it will devour the Secret Pill Zhang Clan and the Pill Cauldron Sect.

Lu Wenxing inquired about this matter with Elder Yang Chongyu of the Dan Ding Sect. Yang Chongyu reassured Lu Wenxing that the Zhang family of Secret Pills would definitely not have the power to attack the Lu family again.

"The Dan Ding Sect has gained two new cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage!"

A look of surprise appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He quickly asked, "Does the clan leader know who the two newly added Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect are?"

On that day, Shi Ningyu, Xu Shao, Lin Tao, Liu Muyuan, and Song Qingzhi were the five people who entered the Qingling Secret Realm with him.

These five people are all at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and they all have a very high chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

"The two newly added Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect are Xu Shao and Liu Muyuan. These two have entered the Qingling Secret Realm with you before," Lu Wenxing said.

He only inquired about the two newly added Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect from Yang Chongyu, and did not ask about anything else.

"If you have a good relationship with these two, you can send them a message to congratulate them first. When we return from the Tianhong Zhao Clan, the clan will prepare congratulatory gifts, which you can then send to the Dan Ding Sect!"

The connection between the Lu family and the Dan Ding Sect will become increasingly close, and things like this are necessary to do.

"Don't worry, Chieftain, I will take care of it!"

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Cheng'an did not talk much about the Dan Ding Sect. After agreeing to go to the Tianhong Zhao Clan, they did not waste any time and immediately set off from Chiyan Mountain to head towards the Tianhong Zhao Clan.

Prior to this, Lu Wenxing had already made arrangements for clan affairs.

The Zhao family of Tianhong and the Lu family were located in Chiyan Mountain, which was thousands of miles apart. Even with Lu Cheng'an and his companion's speed, it took them six days to arrive.

Of course, this was because Lu Cheng'an had not yet learned the second-tier sword control technique; otherwise, their travel speed would have been much faster.

The second-order sword control technique is the most common second-order technique. The Lu family has one such technique in their collection, and they also obtained one from the Chen family of Qingling.

However, Lu Cheng'an was not in a hurry to cultivate the second-tier sword control technique because he had not yet refined a suitable second-tier magic sword.

The Xu family's weapon-forging heritage includes two methods for forging second-tier low-grade magic swords. These two second-tier low-grade magic swords are the refined iron magic sword and the blazing flame magic sword that Lu Cheng'an forged multiple times when he was in the Qi Refining stage.

Although Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has not been at the Foundation Establishment stage for long, he is confident that he can forge a second-grade low-quality refined iron magic sword and a blazing flame magic sword.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a second-tier forging furnace at the moment. Even if he could gather all the materials to forge a second-tier magic sword, he wouldn't be able to forge it.
