Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 123 Zhu Yan's Request (Please Subscribe!)

The Jade Heart of the Azure Spring has fallen into the hands of the Lu family, but the Lu family does not have any Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators who practice water-attribute techniques.

The Lu family needs to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item with suitable attributes before it can be given to the cultivators in the clan.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was a deal that the Pill Refining Sect agreed to with the Lu family. However, when Lu Cheng'an attended the Foundation Establishment Ceremony held by the Pill Refining Sect last time, they had not yet refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.

During this time, Lu Cheng'an had been cultivating diligently on Qing'e Island. He didn't know if Dan Ding Sect had already refined the Foundation Establishment Pill that they had agreed to trade with the Lu family.

This Foundation Establishment Pill was obtained by Lu Cheng'an through his own merits from the Pill Cauldron Sect. In addition, since Lu Cheng'an is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has the authority to decide who gets to use this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Lu Wenhua is Lu Cheng'an's uncle, and they are closer. Lu Cheng'an never intended to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to any other Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator in the clan.

Of course, this was just Lu Cheng'an's own idea; he had not yet discussed it with the other cultivators in the clan.

After leaving the fire spring, Lu Cheng'an did not leave Qing'e Island directly, but went to find Zhu Yan so that he could tell her what had happened.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I have to return to my family for some business, but I'll be back soon." Lu Cheng'an said with a smile, his gaze falling on Zhu Yan.

"Some time ago, I sent some cultivators from my clan into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to gather information, but their cultivation level was too low, and the information they gathered was very limited."

However, based on the information they gathered, I can roughly estimate that the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard will break through to the third tier in about seven months.

The demonic beasts and spirits living in the Burning Flame Mountains have now been summoned by the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, and are not allowed to leave the Burning Flame Mountains during their cultivation breakthroughs.

If human Golden Core cultivators come to attack, we demons and spirits living in the Burning Flame Mountains will unite to fight them!

A deep worry welled up in Zhu Yan's eyes, something that had never happened before.

Although the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, both cultivators at the second-tier perfect realm, have not yet successfully broken through to the third tier, they have already unlocked the shackles of their intelligence.

That is why they issued such an order.

They wanted to gather the power of all the demonic beasts and spirit races in the Burning Flame Mountain Range to block the attack of the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Sect, if they could successfully overcome this calamity.

The demonic beasts living in the Burning Flame Mountains are strong enough to rival the Heavenly Flame Sect, and the demonic beasts will no longer have to suffer from the Heavenly Flame Sect's underhanded tactics when they break through to the third rank.

Zhu Yan is a Fire-Repelling Earth Spider, not a demon beast, but a member of the Spirit Race.

Whether the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard can survive is not actually a big deal for the Elven race.

Now that these two demonic beasts have conscripted their spirit race to participate in the war, it has had a very bad impact on them.

Human cultivators are extremely powerful. If the Fire Spider Clan is not careful when fighting against them, they risk being wiped out.

However, Zhu Yan dared not lead the Fire-Slaying Earth Spiders to openly defy the orders of the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard. If the two of them were to survive the siege of the human cultivators, then the spirit cultivators who had not contributed would likely face certain death.

Regardless of which choice Zhu Yan makes, it could bring the Fire-Slaying Spider clan to the brink of extinction.

That's why Zhu Yan has been so worried these days.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what are your human race's plans? Are you confident you can kill the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard?" Zhu Yan asked in a deep voice.

If the human cultivators were confident in killing the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, then she would know what decision to make.

After recalling the information Xu Shao had given him, Lu Cheng'an suddenly understood why the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard wanted to recruit all the demonic beasts and spirit cultivators from the Burning Flame Mountains to participate in the battle.

Clearly, they also knew that the two Golden Core cultivators from the Tianyan Sect had been summoned by the Huanggu Sect to attack the Azure Lion Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains.

The Ancient Desolate Sect is the only Nascent Soul sect within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. This sect has a long history, and currently there are still three Nascent Soul cultivators presiding over it.

Hong'e Mountain Range is a giant mountain range near the Ancient Desolate Sect. There are several fourth-order spiritual veins in this mountain range, which make the spiritual energy in Hong'e Mountain Range very rich, making it an extremely superior cultivation land.

However, few human cultivators set foot in the Hong'e Mountains because the Hong'e Mountains have always been occupied by demonic beasts.

There are now five demon kings in the Hong'e Mountains, the leader of which is the Green Lion Demon King.

Demon kings are fourth-tier demon beasts, comparable to human Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Azure Lion Demon King's cultivation level is at the late stage of the fourth rank, comparable to the Grand Elder Qiongmiao True Monarch of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Qiongmiao Zhenjun broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage earlier than the Azure Lion Demon King, and her strength was also much greater than that of the Azure Lion Demon King.

For this reason, the Azure Lion Demon King has been holed up in the Hong'e Mountains for years and has not invaded the territory of human cultivators.

However, in the last hundred years, two new fourth-tier demon kings have emerged in the Hong'e Mountains, and with the Azure Lion Demon King's strength improving, he has once again harbored the idea of ​​invading the territories of human cultivators. Within the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect, the various cultivation forces revere the Ancient Desolate Sect, while the demon beasts living within its borders revere the Azure Lion Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains.

Lu Cheng'an didn't know much about the demonic beasts in the Desolate Ancient Sect and the Hong'e Mountains, but after hearing the news Zhu Yan mentioned, he intuitively felt that the two demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, who were at the second-stage perfect realm, must have received guidance from the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

Third-tier demonic beasts are comparable to human Golden Core cultivators. If two more third-tier demonic beasts were to appear in the Burning Flame Mountains, it would definitely not be a good thing for human cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an's thoughts were in turmoil. After a quick moment of consideration, he immediately suppressed these thoughts and began to answer Zhu Yan's question.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu is giving our Lu family far too much credit. Our Lu family is merely a newly established Foundation Establishment power; we have no way of finding out such information!"

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face, and he did not tell Zhu Yan the information he had.

Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts.

Even though the Lu family and Zhu Yan are currently cooperating, he still doesn't dare to tell Zhu Yan the true situation of human cultivators.

He doesn't dare to gamble!
If Zhu Yan were to relay the information he provided to the two demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, it would cause immense casualties to the human cultivators.

When the reckoning comes, the Lu family will also face the risk of extermination!
Therefore, after a quick consideration, Lu Cheng'an finally decided to keep this news from Zhu Yan.

"After you return this time, please ask the cultivators in your clan to help you inquire, so that I can make a choice!" Zhu Yan sighed softly.

She did not doubt Lu Cheng'an, because she had a certain understanding of the Lu family's strength.

When she first met Lu Wenxing, another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lu family, Lu Wenxing's cultivation had indeed just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

It wasn't until recent years, when Lu Cheng'an's cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, that the Lu family's development improved.

Although Zhu Yan didn't know the situation of human cultivators, she also knew that a newly established Foundation Establishment power like the Lu family probably wouldn't be able to find out much about Golden Core sects.

"When you return from your clan, I would like to ask you to accompany me to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to help me obtain the Earth Core Fire Jade," Zhu Yan said in a deep voice.

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly. Zhu Yan had told him about the Earth Core Fire Jade before.

This is a spirit creature that can help a first-tier Fire-Slaying Earth Spider break through to the second tier. However, such spirit creatures can only be nurtured at the bottom of the lava river deep in the Burning Flame Mountains, and are also guarded by a powerful giant fire catfish.

At other times, he would have been willing to accompany Zhu Yan into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, but now he was hesitant.

“Fellow Daoist Zhu, I am of human origin. If I were to enter the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains with you and be discovered by the second-tier demonic beasts there, do you think I would still have any hope of surviving?” Lu Cheng’an said with a bitter smile.

The Burning Flame Mountain Range is generally the territory of demonic beasts. The reason why the Spirit Race can also survive in the Burning Flame Mountain Range is because the Spirit Race and the demonic beasts have no hatred between them.

However, the relationship between humans and demon beasts is extremely bad. After all, for many years, all the third-tier demon beasts born in the Burning Flame Mountains died at the hands of the Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Flame Sect, a human sect.

Now that the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, both at the peak of the second tier, are about to break through to the third tier, if his identity as a human cultivator is exposed deep within the Burning Flame Mountains, he will have no chance of survival.

"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Lu, it was my oversight!" Zhu Yan's heart stirred, and she immediately apologized to Lu Cheng'an.

She hadn't considered this point; human cultivators were currently extremely sensitive in the Burning Flame Mountains.

Previously, when Hei Xuan came to attack Qing E Island, he was blocked by the Xuan Turtle Fire Gang Formation, and he did not see the situation on Qing E Island clearly.

Otherwise, if Hei Xuan had known Lu Cheng'an's human identity at that time, it would have been very likely to bring annihilation to their Fire-Slaying Spider clan.

Thinking about this, Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, Green Crocodile Island is located on the outskirts of the Burning Flame Mountain Range, where few second-tier spirit races and demonic beasts venture. As long as Lu Cheng'an is careful here, his identity will not be exposed.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu. Once this matter is over, I will definitely accompany you into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to seize the Earth Core Fire Jade," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait for Fellow Daoist Lu!" Zhu Yan smiled back, but her mood was still somewhat heavy.

Lu Cheng'an seemed oblivious to Zhu Yan's heavy mood. After making arrangements with Zhu Yan, he left Qing'e Island.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an appeared in front of the cave at Huohuai Mountain. He took out the second-tier low-grade Fire Fiend Sword, which he had successfully refined, and prepared to use the Cloud Shadow Sword Technique to fly back to his family.

The second-tier low-grade Fire Fiend Sword is sufficient to support a Foundation Establishment cultivator in flying on a sword, but Lu Cheng'an's cultivation of the Cloud Shadow Sword Technique, a second-tier sword control technique, is not yet profound enough.

We're only at the very beginning!
