Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 148 Lu Wenhua's Foundation Establishment

"Next, if I refine a few more mid-grade second-tier magic weapons, I can quickly reach the mid-stage of second-tier and become a high-grade second-tier weapon refiner."

"It's a pity that Jin Yuan's cultivation level is still at the late stage of the first rank. If I succeed as a second-rank high-grade weapon refiner, Jin Yuan's help to me will become less and less."

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. Although the Hundred Ore Essence was only a second-tier low-grade mineral, it was still an extremely rare material.

Lu Cheng'an has had his family help him search for a long time, but there has been no progress.

"Perhaps we can ask Shi Ningyu for help; she might have a way to obtain the essence of the Hundred Minerals!"

After thinking of Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an suddenly realized that he had not contacted Shi Ningyu since he left Dan Ding Sect last time.

Upon thinking of Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an immediately took out the communication jade plate that Shi Ningyu had given him and used this communication artifact to send a message to Shi Ningyu for the first time.

This communication jade disc could support visual communication, but Lu Cheng'an did not do so, and instead chose to communicate by text.

Since there was no word limit for text messages on the Jade Message Plate, Lu Cheng'an was able to send more messages.

He first talked about his progress in strength over the past year, such as his current cultivation level having broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and that he had cultivated two of the six spells to perfection.

He didn't tell the whole truth, after all, raising one's cultivation level by one realm and perfecting the Six Paths Techniques in just over a year is something no normal person could do.

Those who can do this are either blessed with special abilities like him, or they are exceptionally talented geniuses.

After explaining his progress in strength in detail, Lu Cheng'an expressed his gratitude to Shi Ningyu and emphasized the Jade Spirit Pill.

If it weren't for this kind of second-tier mid-grade pill that helps improve cultivation, even with the help of the panel, he wouldn't have been able to raise his cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time.

Only at the very end did he reveal his true purpose, asking Shi Ningyu if she had any way to obtain the essence of the hundred mines.

After sending the message, Lu Cheng'an put the communication jade plate away again and began to refine the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan, a second-tier top-grade magic artifact.

He had spent the previous nine days studying the internal rune array structure of this magical artifact. Although he had not refined the artifact, he was already very familiar with it.

It will be much easier for him to refine this magical artifact now and leave a divine imprint inside it.

Half an hour later, Lu Cheng'an successfully left his divine imprint on the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan.

He then put it away and began to cultivate the Golden Crow Seal technique.

The Golden Crow Seal, a second-tier technique, was the first of the six techniques that Lu Cheng'an cultivated. Next, he planned to fully master this technique.

Lu Cheng'an did not cultivate the Golden Crow Seal in the cave for long. Three days later, he sensed fluctuations in the spiritual energy of Chiyan Mountain, and then he rushed out of the cave.

Lu Cheng'an quickly appeared in front of the cave where his uncle was in seclusion to break through his cultivation, and confirmed that it was his uncle who had caused the fluctuations in spiritual energy in Chiyan Mountain.

"Cheng'an, you can rest assured now. Your uncle has already caused a fluctuation in spiritual energy, and he has basically broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm successfully!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

Not only Lu Cheng'an was paying attention to Lu Wenxing's cultivation breakthrough, but Lu Wenxing and Lu Wenmei, both Foundation Establishment cultivators, were also keeping an eye on Lu Wenhua's progress in his cultivation breakthrough.

"Clan leader, Third Elder, I knew my uncle would definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment realm!" Lu Cheng'an said excitedly.

After confirming that his uncle's cultivation level was sufficient to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he was even more excited than when he himself broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Although Lu Wenxing and Lu Wenmei's expressions weren't as obvious as Lu Cheng'an's, they were equally happy.

After Lu Wenhua's cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in their Lu family reached five, and the family's strength increased significantly.

Lu Cheng'an, Lu Wenxing, and the other two guarded outside Lu Wenhua's cave. They didn't have to wait long before Lu Wenhua's breakthrough in cultivation inside the cave was finally achieved.

Lu Wenhua successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, becoming the fifth Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Lu family!
After Lu Wenhua successfully broke through his cultivation level, he did not come out of the cave immediately, but stayed in the cave to consolidate his cultivation.

However, he immediately used a communication talisman to inform Lu Cheng'an and the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family that he had successfully broken through his cultivation level.

The time it takes for cultivators to consolidate their newly broken through Foundation Establishment varies, and Lu Cheng'an was unsure when his uncle would emerge from seclusion.

His current cultivation task is still quite urgent. Now that he has confirmed that his uncle's cultivation has successfully broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he can finally relax.

Therefore, after telling Lu Wenxing, he did not linger at Chiyan Mountain. He hurriedly left Chiyan Mountain with the first-grade low-level pills he had prepared for Zhu Yan and returned to Qing'e Island.

After returning to Qing'e Island, Lu Cheng'an immediately handed over the first-grade low-level pills to Zhu Yan, and then began to talk about his physical body tempering.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I plan to visit the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave first. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhu has time to show me the way?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a smile.

He had been considering this matter during his time with his family, and after careful consideration over the past few days, he finally decided to go to the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave to investigate.

The fact that third-tier Earth Flame Pythons and Fire Bone Lizards once tempered their demonic bodies here demonstrates that this special area does indeed have an effect on physical tempering.

However, he was, after all, a human cultivator, and his physical body was much weaker than that of a demon beast.

If the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave causes too much damage to his physical body, he will have to choose another place.

The Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave is also located in the lava river, but it is situated in a very special area deep within the lava river.

There is no lava river in the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave. The demon beasts and spirit cultivators living in the Burning Flame Mountains only know that the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave is extremely dangerous, but they do not know what is hidden in the deepest part of the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave.

"I have time. I wonder when Fellow Daoist Lu plans to go to the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave?" Zhu Yan asked with a smile.

"The sooner the better. If Fellow Daoist Zhu is free now, let's set off immediately," Lu Cheng'an said.

"Then please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Lu, while I make some arrangements for the clan's affairs, and then I will take you to the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave."

Zhu Yan immediately agreed. The Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan was not in any immediate trouble. After giving Zhu Yue the pills that Lu Cheng'an had given her, she gave him a few simple instructions and then left Green Crocodile Island with Lu Cheng'an.

Although Zhu Yue's strength has been greatly weakened, his cultivation level is still at the second tier. Relying on the power of the Xuan Turtle Fire Qi Formation, he can still exert considerable strength. This time, Zhu Yan's main task is to guide Lu Cheng'an. After she delivers Lu Cheng'an to the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave, she will immediately return to Green Crocodile Island.

This period of time was not long, so Zhu Yan was not worried that problems would arise in the clan while she was away from Qing'e Island.

Both the Fiery Fiery Wind Cave and the Boundless Abyss are located deep within the Burning Flame Mountains, but in two completely opposite places.

The Fiery Fiery Wind Cave is located deeper, and the environment there is even harsher. Even the demon beasts and spirit cultivators who have adapted to the harsh environment of the underground lava river are unwilling to live in such an environment for a long time.

After traveling for most of the day through the lava river, Zhu Yan finally arrived at the area where the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave was located.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the Fiery Fiery Wind Cave is just ahead!"

As Zhu Yan spoke, she climbed out of the lava river's range. In front of her, the exposed ground was a black, hard stone wall, from which gurgling cold air, carrying a malevolent aura, emanated.

Lu Cheng'an stepped onto the exposed black rock wall in front of him, stepping on the lava waves. He looked ahead and saw a huge black cave standing in front of him.

The black cave was deep and bottomless. At the entrance, there were some dried-up monster corpses, some of which had decomposed and turned into grayish-white bones.

Lu Cheng'an followed Zhu Yan slowly toward the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave ahead, his gaze drawn to the skeletons in front of the cave.

After sensing Lu Cheng'an's gaze, Zhu Yan said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave is extremely dangerous. These corpses are all from demonic beasts and spirit race cultivators who wanted to enter the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave to search for treasures. They all have at least the cultivation level of the early stage of the second rank."

Zhu Yan's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, her eyes filled with solemnity: "I know that Fellow Daoist Lu is very powerful, but I still need to advise you a little more. The Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave is a dangerous place. I hope you will take it more seriously!"

Zhu Yan was well aware of Lu Cheng'an's important position in the Lu family. If Lu Cheng'an died in the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave, then the cooperation between their Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan and the Lu family would come to an end.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, I know what I'm doing!"

A smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face. He withdrew his gaze from the surrounding skeletons and continued, "I will be cultivating here for a while. Fellow Daoist Zhu can go back now!"

He had memorized the route he had taken, and he could return to Green Crocodile Island on his own.

His cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and his strength has greatly increased.

Currently, the most powerful demonic beasts and spirit cultivators in this underground lava river are only at the second-stage perfect realm. He may not be a match for some of the more powerful demonic beasts and spirit cultivators, but he is absolutely confident that he can escape safely from their clutches.

"Then I'll head back first. If you need anything, just let me know immediately," Zhu Yan said in a deep voice.

The young spiders of the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider have reached a critical stage of growth, and Zhu Yan really cannot leave Green Crocodile Island for too long.

Of course, the main reason was that Zhu Yan was unsure when Lu Cheng'an would leave the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave, and she couldn't keep waiting there.

After Zhu Yan and Lu Cheng'an made their agreement, they quickly left the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave.

After Zhu Yan left, Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any time and went straight into the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave.

Zhu Yan's understanding of the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave was limited. She only knew that the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave existed, but she did not know the specific details of it.

Although Lu Cheng'an was confident in his strength, he did not dare to be careless. He entered the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave very slowly, and during the journey, he kept using his divine sense to explore the situation around the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave.

"The fiery aura and the chilling energy here both emanate from the black stone walls, and these stone walls can also restrict the power of divine sense."

Lu Cheng'an tried to use his divine sense to penetrate the stone wall, but found it extremely difficult.

He could only control his divine sense to penetrate the outermost surface of the stone wall, but he could not probe the situation inside the stone wall.

This change caused Lu Cheng'an to stop advancing. He took out the Fire Fiend Sword from his storage bag and then used the True Yang Sword Technique to stab directly at the stone wall in the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave.

With a crisp sword cry, the Fire Fiend Sword trembled violently. The stone wall pierced by the sword tip did not leave a single mark after enduring the attack.

Upon seeing this situation, Lu Cheng'an's face turned serious.

Although the Fire Fiend Sword is only a second-tier low-grade magic sword, his cultivation level is at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the True Yang Sword Technique he uses is also a second-tier technique that has been cultivated to perfection.

His attack would be difficult even for a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to withstand, yet it has not caused any damage to the stone walls of the Fire Fiery Cold Wind Cave.

"I wonder if this Fiery Fiery Wind Cave was formed naturally or left by man?"

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply, but then suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

After putting the Fire Fiend Sword back into his storage bag, he sat down cross-legged.

He is currently about fifty feet away from the Fire Fiend and Cold Wind Cave, and has not yet encountered the impact of the fire fiend and cold wind that Zhu Yan mentioned.

However, he could feel the fiery aura and the chilling energy constantly emanating from the surrounding stone walls. These two forces were silently seeping into his body and were continuously damaging his physical form.

The spiritual energy in the Fiery Fiery Wind Cave wasn't particularly abundant, so Lu Cheng'an didn't cultivate there. Instead, he began to study the cultivation method of the Purple Flame Resurrection Technique.

This technique is the source of Lu Cheng'an's confidence in tempering his physical body in the Fiery Fiery Wind Cave!
The Purple Flame Resurrection Technique is an auxiliary technique whose main function is to help cultivators quickly heal their injuries.

With the help of the panel and Lu Cheng'an's relentless, day-and-night grinding, he also cultivated this technique to perfection.

Five days after Lu Cheng'an entered the Fire Fiend Cold Wind Cave, a wailing sound suddenly came from the depths of the originally peaceful cave.

The voice was mournful and eerie, both strange and chilling.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an immediately stopped cultivating the Purple Flame Resurrection Technique. He put a pill to restore his mana under his tongue and quickly took out two spirit stones from his storage bag and held them in his hand.

After Lu Cheng'an made these preparations, the wailing sound became even more pronounced, and at the same time, he also felt the fiery aura and cold air emanating from the surrounding stone walls becoming increasingly intense.

A moment later, a gust of wind, slightly tinged with crimson, swept out from the depths of the Fiery Fiery Wind Cave, containing a rich aura of fiery Fi ...
