Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 135 A Letter from Zhu Yan: Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object
"You can rest assured about that. It's not just the second-tier spells you need. If I find suitable spells and cultivation techniques in Tianyan City, I will purchase them all!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

Previously, due to the scarcity of resources in his clan, although he had visited Tianyan City many times, he could only purchase items that were in short supply in his clan.

Although the family doesn't have a rich collection of cultivation techniques and spells, it can still provide enough for the needs of the cultivators in the family for the time being.

However, the more such classic texts one has, the better, as this is the foundation of a cultivation sect.

Now that the family has acquired such a huge fortune, they have enough capital, so these things naturally need to be replenished.

"There's also news about the Hundred Ore Essence. If there are a hundred pieces of essence for sale in Tianyan City, the clan leader must help me acquire them," Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

The Essence of a Hundred Minerals is a treasure that helps Gold Coins break through to higher levels.

Jin Yuan's current cultivation level is at the late stage of the first rank. It is more difficult for the Mineral Spirit Clan to break through to the second rank than for human cultivators to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Without the help of treasures, they would have a very difficult time breaking through to the second tier.

Lu Cheng'an is now a second-tier weapon refiner, and the main materials used to refine second-tier magic weapons are all of the second tier quality.

If Jin Yuan's cultivation successfully breaks through to the second level, he will be able to help Lu Cheng'an refine second-level ores, greatly reducing the time Lu Cheng'an spends refining magical artifacts.

“The essence of a hundred minerals is not an easy thing to find. I have already asked the cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect and the Yang Clan of Donglin to help me search for it. When I go to Tianyan City, I will also keep an eye out and do my best to help you find the essence of a hundred minerals,” Lu Wenxing said.

It was no secret in the Lu family that Lu Cheng'an was raising a mineral-eating spirit race, and they all knew why Lu Cheng'an was so eager to purchase the essence of a hundred minerals.

"Then I'll have to trouble the clan chief!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Not long after, Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping left Lu Wenxing's cave.

Lu Cheng'an did not return directly to his own cave dwelling, but went to his uncle's cave dwelling to tell him about his uncle's recent situation, and also inquired about his uncle's recent situation.

Lu Wenhua's cultivation had already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. After wearing the Spirit Gathering Jade Token that Lu Cheng'an had made for him, the speed at which his cultivation improved increased again.

Now his cultivation is about to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he only needs to prepare carefully before he can try to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

After instructing Lu Wenhua to focus on his cultivation, Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave dwelling and began dealing with the evil things.

There were quite a few of these things, and Lu Cheng'an didn't check them carefully before throwing them all into the refining furnace. Then he summoned the Crimson Flame and began to burn these evil items.

Books and materials are easy to destroy, but second-tier magical artifacts like the White Bone Seal are much more difficult to destroy.

Even though Lu Cheng'an destroyed the rune arrays inside the second-tier magic artifacts such as the White Bone Seal in advance, it still took him five days to completely destroy them.

After leaving Lu Wenxing's cave, Lu Chengping immediately led the cultivators who had previously been in charge of the Qingling Mountain market away from the family and headed towards Qingling Mountain.

Now that there is no danger around the Lu family, the closed Qingling Mountain Market must be reopened.

Moreover, the Lu family obtained a large amount of low-level resources, which could only be sold more safely by placing them in the markets they had established.

After Lu Chengping left Chiyan Mountain, Lu Wenxing also did not waste any time and left Chiyan Mountain immediately afterward.

His purpose in going to Tianhong Mountain was not only to bring back his people, but also to deal with the spiritual veins of Tianhong Mountain and the mineral resources such as the Qiongshan Stone Jade Mine.

This will take a lot of time.

Lu Wenxing didn't know when the Dan Ding Sect cultivators would arrive in Tianyan City, but he still needed to finish these matters as soon as possible to avoid missing the time when the Dan Ding Sect cultivators would arrive.

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

Despite his hurried efforts, Lu Wenxing finally finished dealing with the matters at Tianhong Mountain and successfully led his people back to Chiyan Mountain.

Second-tier spiritual veins and mineral resources are extremely valuable. The Lu family didn't have the energy to haggle over prices, but even so, those spiritual veins and mineral resources still brought the Lu family a very substantial income.

Lu Wenxing sold a total of 50,000 spirit stones from the spiritual veins and minerals, exactly the same amount he obtained from the evil cultivators.

These 50,000 spirit stones will not be directly incorporated into the clan.

Their ability to obtain these resources was mainly due to Lu Cheng'an and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, after Lu Cheng'an and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators divided the spoils, they also took the remaining portion into the clan.

After Lu Wenxing led his clansmen from Tianhong Mountain back to Chiyan Mountain, they happened to catch up with the cultivators from Dan Ding Sect heading to Tianyan City.

Lu Wenxing didn't dare to waste any time. After quickly arranging for the clansmen he brought back from Tianhong Mountain, he took Lu Wenmei to Danding Sect and then went to Tianyan City with the cultivators of Danding Sect.

Lu Wenxing brought back a large number of Lu family members from Tianhong Mountain. These were all ordinary people who carried the bloodline of the Lu family, so they naturally needed to be properly settled.

Currently, Lu Cheng'an is in charge of Chiyan Mountain, but he hasn't spent too much time on this matter.

Because Lu Wenxing had already made arrangements before leaving the family.

After the Lu family wiped out the Qingling Chen clan, the territory they occupied expanded considerably.

To ensure that the mortal members of the clan would not encounter danger, after the volcanic eruption in the Burning Flame Mountains ended, Lu Wenxing personally led the clan's cultivators to inspect the territory and kill all the demonic beasts that appeared within.

Forty thousand ordinary members of the Lu family returned from Tianhong Mountain, and they easily integrated into the Lu family's original ordinary life.

Since the Lu family migrated to Chiyan Mountain, Lu Wenxing has been dedicated to developing the mortal clan. With the integration of two mortal clans from other surnames, plus the addition of 40,000 mortal clansmen, the Lu family has now cultivated more than 100,000 mortals, reaching 120,000.

The Lu family now occupies a large territory, and with three Foundation Establishment cultivators currently in charge, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lu family will increase to five in the next ten years or so.

The number of ordinary people that can be trained will increase rapidly at that time.

Half a month after the Lu family settled down in Tianhong Mountain, Lu Cheng'an, who was in seclusion in Chiyan Mountain, suddenly received a message.

The message was sent by Zhu Yan, who had lost contact with them. Zhu Yan survived the chaos in the Burning Flame Mountains and has now successfully returned to Green Crocodile Island.

The messages that the communication talisman could convey were limited. Zhu Yan only told Lu Cheng'an that she was still alive and inquired about the current situation of the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an was overjoyed to receive Zhu Yan's message.

After all, compared to nurturing Zhu Lu and Zhu Yue to break through to the second tier, it was far more convenient to keep Zhu Yan alive. Lu Cheng'an quickly replied to Zhu Yan, briefly explaining the current situation of the Lu family and mentioning that the six cultivators, including Zhu Lu and the other Fire-Slaying Earth Spider cultivators, were not in any trouble.

At the same time, Lu Cheng'an briefly explained his situation, saying that he was currently unable to leave Chiyan Mountain.

If it's convenient for Zhu Yan, she can come to Chiyan Mountain to find Lu Cheng'an.

Because of the two third-tier demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, the demonic beasts and spirit race of the Burning Flame Mountains suffered heavy losses this time.

The danger level of the Burning Flame Mountains has been greatly reduced, and most of the surviving demon beasts and spirits have also entered the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.

Zhu Yan dared to enter the outer perimeter of the Burning Flame Mountains because the Fire-Slaying Spider clan could live in lava rivers.

She traveled through underground lava rivers, which avoided many dangers.

After seeing Lu Cheng'an's message, Zhu Yan immediately made arrangements for the few remaining cultivators in her clan and then rushed to Chiyan Mountain.

The outlet of the underground magma river is at Fire Locust Mountain, which is very close to Red Smoke Mountain. This is the core area of ​​the Lu family, and no other cultivators have entered it.

After Zhu Yan left Fire Locust Mountain, she did not encounter any attacks from human cultivators and soon appeared at the foot of Crimson Smoke Mountain.

After receiving Zhu Yan's message, Lu Cheng'an immediately left his cave and quickly brought Zhu Yan to the reception hall of Chiyan Mountain.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with Zhu Yan, Lu Cheng'an inquired about her situation in the Burning Flame Mountains during this period.

"I have to thank Fellow Daoist Lu for the second-tier pills he prepared for me this time, otherwise I would definitely be dead in the Burning Flame Mountains by now."

A solemn look appeared in Zhu Yan's eyes as she sincerely thanked Lu Cheng'an.

"After I led the cultivators of my clan back to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, I was assigned to the Earth Flame Python's ranks... I was knocked into a volcano by a human cultivator and remained unconscious at the bottom of the lava river for more than half a month. If it weren't for the healing pills you prepared for me, I would definitely be dead."

Zhu Yan recounted in great detail to Lu Cheng'an what she had encountered deep within the Burning Flame Mountains.

The Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan was assigned to the Earth Flame Python's ranks. The Earth Flame Python was even more powerful, and after breaking through to the third rank, it could withstand human cultivators for even longer.

However, this made things difficult for Zhu Yan and other second-tier spirit race cultivators and demon beasts, as they could only follow the Earth Flame Python and constantly fight against human cultivators.

During this period, countless second-tier demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators died. Zhu Yan was also seriously injured several times, and she only managed to survive thanks to the second-tier pills that Lu Cheng'an prepared for her.

Even so, she was almost killed by human cultivators in the end, and only by chance did she fall into the crater of the volcano and save her life.

After she woke up, she spent nearly half a year recuperating at the bottom of the lava river.

Only then did she begin to inquire about the situation in the Burning Flame Mountains, and it was then that she learned that the third-tier Earth Flame Python had died at the hands of human cultivators.

A large number of human cultivators quickly evacuated from the Burning Flame Mountains; they were now largely out of danger.

After learning this news, Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began searching for the scattered cultivators of her clan.

The number of cultivators in the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan was already small, and this chaos caused them to suffer heavy losses.

After several searches, Zhu Yan discovered that less than a quarter of the clan cultivators who had followed her back to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains remained.

This situation caused Zhu Yan great pain, but she did not dare to waste any time. She immediately led the gathered cultivators of her clan away from the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains and rushed back to Green Crocodile Island.

Qingcrocodile Island is located on the edge of the Burning Flame Mountain Range. When Zhu Yan returned to Qingcrocodile Island, it had not yet been occupied by second-tier demonic beasts and spirit races.

After settling the few remaining cultivators in her clan on Green Crocodile Island, she immediately sent a message back to Lu Cheng'an.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, what are your plans for the future?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

"Zhu Lu and Zhu Yue will soon break through to the second level of cultivation. Next, I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Lu to help me seize the Earth Core Fire Jade from the giant fire catfish," Zhu Yan said in a deep voice.

Giant fire catfish are monsters that cannot leave the area of ​​the underground lava river; in fact, they may face mortal danger if they leave the depths of the underground lava river.

This situation will only change after they break through to the third tier.

Unfortunately, the giant fire catfish clan has limited talent; only a very small number of them can break through to the second-tier perfect realm, and it is basically very difficult for them to break through to the third tier.

At least the giant fire catfish living in the Burning Flame Mountains has not broken through to the third tier.

For this reason, this special type of monster is not among the monsters that can be recruited by the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard.

Their power has not diminished, and Zhu Yan's cultivation is still at the mid-stage of the second tier. If she were to try to seize the Earth Core Fire Jade on her own, it would be very difficult for her.

“I really can’t leave right now. The clan leader is away from the clan. Once the clan leader returns, I will go to Green Crocodile Island to find you. Then we will go together to find the Earth Core Fire Jade.”

Lu Cheng'an smiled at Zhu Yan and continued, "I have kept the Xuan Turtle Fire Qi Formation all this time. Now that you are leading the cultivators of your clan back to Qing'e Island, I will return this second-tier mid-grade spirit formation to you!"

The value of the second-tier mid-grade defensive formation, the Xuan Turtle Fire Qi Formation, is not low, but the Lu family does not currently lack the resources for such a second-tier mid-grade defensive spirit formation.

Moreover, this item originally belonged to the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan, so it was only right for him to return it to Zhu Yan.

"Then I won't be polite to you!"

When Zhu Yan saw the Xuan Turtle Fire Array that Lu Cheng'an took out, a glint of light immediately appeared in her eyes.

After putting away the Xuan Turtle Fire Formation, she immediately took out a palm-sized stone box.

"I obtained a second-tier low-grade spiritual item, Pure Flame Azure Milk, in the Burning Flame Mountains. I heard that it can assist human cultivators in establishing their foundation. I don't know if it's true, but I'll give it to you!" Zhu Yan said with a smile.

Pure Flame Azure Milk is a spiritual object that erupts from a volcano, and it is one of the few second-tier spiritual objects that Zhu Yan has obtained.

Zhu Yan didn't know much about spiritual objects used by human cultivators to help them establish their foundation. She knew that Pure Flame Azure Milk was a spiritual object that could assist human cultivators in establishing their foundation, which she learned from conversations with other spiritual cultivators.

This thing was of no use to her; she had originally planned to take it out after Lu Cheng'an helped her obtain the Earth Core Fire Jade.

However, after seeing Lu Cheng'an take out the well-preserved Xuan Turtle Fire Gang Array and hand it directly to her, she couldn't help but change her mind.
