Chapter 161 The Spirit Clam Clan of Five Spirits Island (Please Subscribe!)

After exchanging brief pleasantries with Zhu Yan, Lu Cheng'an took out the pills he had specially purchased for her and gave them to her.

These pills include first-tier pills prepared for the Fire-Repelling Earth Spider's young pearl, as well as second-tier low-grade and high-grade pills prepared for Zhu Yue and Zhu Yan.

Lu Cheng'an was very grateful to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan was the first Spirit Clan cultivator he encountered in the underground lava river, and Zhu Yan provided a lot of help to him and his family's development.

If it weren't for Zhu Yan, Lu Wenxing wouldn't have been able to purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual items in Tianyan City so smoothly.

Next, Lu Cheng'an planned to leave Qing'e Island, and he also needed Zhu Yan to help him find a new and suitable place to cultivate in the lava river, which is why he prepared these pills as gifts.

After learning about Lu Cheng'an's next plan, Zhu Yan first declined briefly, then accepted the pills and quickly helped Lu Cheng'an come up with a suitable place.

"The conditions described by Fellow Daoist Lu are very similar to the place where the Spirit Clam Clan lives. However, the Five Spirits Island occupied by the Spirit Clam Clan is located deep in the lava river, and there are many powerful demonic beasts and spirits around it."

Fellow Daoist Lu is of human origin; if he were to go there, he would likely face discrimination.

Zhu Yan looked at Lu Cheng'an and continued, "Moreover, the Spirit Clam Clan is extremely powerful. Currently, the clan leader, Five-Colored Spirit Clam, has reached the second-order perfect realm and is expected to break through to the third order."

I don't know much about the strength of the Spirit Clam Clan, but it's highly likely that there are cultivators at the second-stage perfect realm among them.

Zhu Yan let out a helpless sigh. The environment of Wuling Island was indeed very similar to what Lu Cheng'an had requested.

Aside from Wuling Island, she couldn't think of any other place that met Lu Cheng'an's requirements.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu and the Spirit Clam Clan are both Spirit Clan members. With Fellow Daoist Zhu mediating, this matter should be able to be accomplished!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "My main purpose in going to the Spirit Clam Clan is to use the spiritual land of Five Spirit Island for cultivation, and I will not do anything to harm the Spirit Python Clan."

Furthermore, I'm willing to pay a fee. If that really doesn't work, then I'll need to ask Fellow Daoist Zhu to help me think of any other suitable places!

“Then let’s do as Fellow Daoist Lu says. Once I’ve settled the affairs of the clan, I’ll take you to Five Spirits Island!” Zhu Yan said with a hint of helplessness.

The Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan currently has a small number of cultivators, and they are all concentrated on Green Crocodile Island, so there are not many matters to arrange.

The arrangements Zhu Yan mentioned were nothing more than distributing the pills that Lu Cheng'an had just given her, so that the cultivators in the clan could use these pills to improve their cultivation as quickly as possible.

This didn't take too long. An hour later, Zhu Yan led Lu Cheng'an away from Qing'e Island and sped towards Wuling Island.

After Zhu Yan had participated in the battle against the human cultivators with the two demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, she gained a very clear understanding of the distribution of demonic beasts and spirit races in the Burning Flame Mountains.

The Spirit Clam Clan is considered a rather mysterious group in the Burning Flame Mountains. If it weren't for the previous battle with the human cultivators, Zhu Yan wouldn't have known about the Spirit Clam Clan.

Wuling Island is located deep within the lava river, and it is also the widest area of ​​the entire underground lava river.

That area was so vast that calling it a lava river was no longer quite accurate; it was also known as a lava lake by the spirit race cultivators who lived along the lava river.

Because the Spirit Clam Clan inhabits this area, the Spirit Island they occupy is called Five Spirit Island, and this area is also known as Five Spirit Lake.

The Five Spirits Lake is far from the Green Crocodile Island where the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider is located; the two places are thousands of miles apart.

Lu Cheng'an's speed was greatly reduced as he traveled through the lava river. It took him and Zhu Yan nearly five hours to reach Wuling Lake after setting off from Qing'e Island.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the Five Spirits Lake. The Five Spirits Island, occupied by the Spirit Clam Clan, is located in the central area of ​​the Five Spirits Lake. It is a place where fire evil gathers. Even we, the demon beasts and spirit races who live in the lava river, cannot withstand the environment there!” Zhu Yan said in a deep voice.

Lu Cheng'an sensed the environment of the Five Spirits Lake and found that, just as Zhu Yan had said, the fiery aura here had become more intense.

Moreover, the spiritual energy of Five Spirits Lake is much denser than elsewhere. The surrounding spiritual energy and fiery energy seem to be drawn by some force, all converging towards the center of Five Spirits Lake.

"Are there any third-tier spiritual veins on Five Spirits Island?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

The Burning Flame Mountain Range was originally the location of the Burning Flame Sect, a Nascent Soul sect. There used to be a fourth-order spiritual vein here.

After the destruction of the Burning Flame Sect, the fourth-order spiritual veins of the Burning Flame Mountain Range also collapsed, but there are still third-order spiritual veins in the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

However, because the environment of the Burning Flame Mountain Range is too harsh, no Golden Core cultivator has occupied the Burning Flame Mountain Range to use it as their training ground.

The harsh environment of the Burning Flame Mountains had a much smaller impact on the demon beasts and spirit cultivators who originally lived there. Some powerful demon beasts and spirits even occupied the third-tier spiritual veins of the Burning Flame Mountains.

After seeing the situation at Five Spirits Lake, Lu Cheng'an felt that Five Spirits Island, located in the center of Five Spirits Lake, was very likely to have a third-order spiritual vein.

"I'm not entirely sure about that either. The Spirit Clam Clan has always been quite mysterious, and there's very little information about them in the Burning Flame Mountains."

Shi Ningyu looked into the depths of the Five Spirits Lake and said in a deep voice, "The area from here to Five Spirits Island is very dangerous because many demonic beasts live in the Five Spirits Lake."

These demonic beasts may have become more ferocious due to the influence of the fiery energy of this place, and their physical strength has also become more formidable after being tempered by the fiery energy.

I've heard that these demonic beasts might be kept by the Spirit Clam clan. Therefore, if we encounter attacks from demonic beasts in Five Spirit Lake on our way to Five Spirit Island, it's best to trap them and try not to kill them.

They came here to ask the Spirit Clam Clan for a favor. If they were to kill a demon beast that might be raised by the Spirit Clam Clan, it would be difficult to accomplish what they were asking for.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu, I won't kill the demonic beasts of Five Spirits Lake," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

After briefly introducing the situation of Wuling Lake to Lu Cheng'an, Zhu Yan did not waste any more time and directly led Lu Cheng'an into Wuling Lake.

The situation inside the Five Spirits Lake was roughly as Lu Cheng'an had predicted; the fiery aura and spiritual energy here had become even more concentrated.

This environment also makes it easier for monsters living in this area to advance and break through their limits.

Two hundred miles into the Five Spirits Lake, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu encountered a second-stage early-stage green-skinned toad.

The green toad is the most common type of monster in Five Spirits Lake, but this monster lives on the outskirts of Five Spirits Lake and is not very strong overall.

Besides the green-skinned toad, there are four other monsters: the red-tailed poisonous scorpion, the golden-winged fire centipede, the yellow-eyed sawtooth fish, and the black-armored crocodile turtle.

Among them, the green-skinned toad is the most numerous, but also the weakest of the demonic beasts; the black-armored crocodile turtle is the strongest, and it is said that there are late-stage second-tier black-armored crocodile turtles in the Five Spirits Lake, whose strength is extremely formidable and capable of fighting beyond their level. All five types of demonic beasts are extremely ferocious, and due to the impact of the fire elemental energy, their intelligence is far lower than that of normal second-tier demonic beasts.

Just like the green toad that Lu Cheng'an and Zhu Yan encountered, the moment it appeared, it attacked Lu Cheng'an and Zhu Yan without any hesitation, without even considering the difference in strength between itself and Lu Cheng'an and Zhu Yan.

Upon seeing the green toad attacking him, Lu Cheng'an slapped his palm out, and the surrounding spiritual energy and dense fire energy condensed into a huge palm print, directly grabbing at the green toad, which was as big as a rabbit.

The strength of this green toad was vastly different from that of Lu Cheng'an, and it couldn't escape the grasp of that palm print at all.

As the power within the palm print intensified, the already ferocious green toad was instantly choked unconscious.

Lu Cheng'an did not intend to kill the green toad. After stunning it, he threw it directly into the lava.

Zhu Yan looked at Lu Cheng'an with some surprise. She hadn't seen Lu Cheng'an for a while, and now Lu Cheng'an's strength was probably beyond her imagination.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, let's continue forward!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile as he looked at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan snapped out of her surprise, smiled and responded, then led Lu Cheng'an to continue deeper into the Five Spirits Lake.

During this time, they encountered the attack of the green toads again. However, the strength of those green toads was far inferior to that of Lu Cheng'an. As soon as they appeared, they were knocked unconscious by Lu Cheng'an.

After Lu Cheng'an and Zhu Yan ventured 500 miles into the Five Spirits Lake, they began to encounter demonic beasts such as the Red-tailed Poisonous Scorpion and the Golden-winged Heavenly Centipede. These beasts were much stronger than the Green-skinned Toad, and even late-stage second-tier creatures began to appear frequently.

Even late-stage second-tier demonic beasts were no match for Lu Cheng'an. They couldn't last long against him before being knocked unconscious.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, have you ever been to Five Spirit Lake before? There are far too many late-stage second-tier demonic beasts living here!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned deeply; the situation at Wuling Lake was completely beyond his expectations.

He had considered that the environment of the Five Spirits Lake might give rise to many demonic beasts, but the number of demonic beasts living in the Five Spirits Lake far exceeded his expectations.

Fortunately, his strength far surpassed that of cultivators at the same level, even exceeding that of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the demonic beasts in Five Spirits Lake before even reaching Five Spirits Island.

"I have never been to Five Spirits Lake before. The fire element here was too strong before. Not only me, but very few demon beasts and spirit cultivators would set foot in it."

Moreover, even if demonic beasts and spirit cultivators enter Five Spirit Lake, very few emerge alive. Over time, the number of demonic beasts and spirit cultivators entering Five Spirit Lake has dwindled even further!

Zhu Yan's gaze fell on Lu Cheng'an, and she said with some difficulty, "We are still about two hundred miles away from Wuling Island. The Yellow-eyed Sawtooth Fish and the Black-armored Alligator Turtle should be in this area. They are much stronger. Should we leave here?"

So far, they have only encountered late-stage second-tier demonic beasts. If they venture deeper, they may encounter demonic beasts at the peak of the second-tier realm.

Lu Cheng'an is indeed very strong, but he may not be a match for a second-stage perfect realm demon beast. Moreover, they may have encountered more than one second-stage perfect realm demon beast.

"I absolutely must go and see Wuling Island!"

Lu Cheng'an is now certain that the Spirit Clam Clan, which resides on Five Spirits Island, must have a secret, and he wants to find out what that secret is.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, come up here!"

With a thought, Lu Cheng'an summoned the Divine Cloud Piercing Pouch.

The Divine Cloud Pierce is a flying magic weapon of the highest grade, the second rank. If fully activated, this magic weapon can grant Foundation Establishment cultivators speed comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages.

Lu Cheng'an originally did not want to be so conspicuous, but the number and strength of the demonic beasts bred in the Five Spirits Lake were far beyond his expectations. He could only rely on the power of the Divine Cloud Pierce to avoid those demonic beasts and quickly reach the Five Spirits Island.

"A top-grade second-tier flying magic weapon!"

Zhu Yan's cultivation has reached the late stage of the second tier. She had previously been recruited by the two demonic beasts, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, which broadened her horizons considerably.

Therefore, after Lu Cheng'an summoned the Divine Cloud Piercing Pouch, she immediately recognized it as an extremely precious second-tier top-grade flying magic artifact.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu has a good eye; this is indeed a top-grade second-tier flying magic weapon!"

Lu Cheng'an did not hide anything. After he flew down onto the Divine Cloud Pier, he also took Zhu Yan onto this flying magic artifact.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an activated the power of the Divine Cloud Pierce. With a whooshing sound, the Divine Cloud Pierce carried Lu Cheng'an and Zhu Yan away from the spot in an instant.

The Divine Cloud Pierce is extremely fast and possesses the ability to conceal its presence.

Lu Cheng'an sped towards the Five Spirits Island using the Divine Cloud Pierce. Although the monsters in the Five Spirits Lake noticed him, they didn't have time to make a move before Lu Cheng'an disappeared using the Divine Cloud Pierce.

The distance of two hundred miles passed in the blink of an eye at the extreme speed of the Divine Cloud Pier. Soon after, Lu Cheng'an brought the Divine Cloud Pier to a stop. At this moment, an island shrouded in a crimson mist appeared in his sight below the Divine Cloud Pier.

"Human cultivators, how dare you trespass on Five Spirits Island!"

The moment Lu Cheng'an and Zhu Yan appeared above Wuling Island, an angry shout came from within the island.

With a burst of five-colored light, a giant five-colored spirit clam, riding on crimson fiery energy, flew out from Five Spirit Island.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful! This is the Five-Colored Spirit Clam at the second-stage perfect realm!"

The moment Zhu Yan saw the five-colored spirit clam, she recognized it as the same two-tier perfect five-colored spirit clam she had seen before.

She had witnessed the Five-Colored Spirit Clam's attack; its strength was extremely formidable, and many human Foundation Establishment cultivators had perished at its hands.

"Fellow Daoist Lingxuan, please calm down. We have come here with no ill intentions!"

After reminding Lu Cheng'an to be careful, Zhu Yan called out again to stop the aggressive Five-Colored Spirit Clam.

"Fire-repelling Earth Spider, you, a member of the Spirit Race, actually collude with human cultivators! You truly have no regard for your own life!"

Lingxuan coldly rebuked, not stopping because of Zhu Yan's appearance, but instead revealing an even more surging killing intent.
