Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 219 Returning to the Family's Planned Spiritual Ground
"Do you think you can refine the Primordial Chaos Pill recorded in this pill formula?"

Lu Cheng'an took out a jade slip from his storage ring and handed it to Shi Ningyu.

This jade slip contains the method for refining the Chongyuan Huntian Pill, a third-grade low-level pill whose main function is to assist demonic beasts at the second-grade perfection level in breaking through to the third grade.

The Chongyuan Huntian Pill is an accompanying elixir in the secret method recorded by the Burning Flame Sect for enabling demonic beasts at the second-stage perfect realm to break through to the third stage.

With the help of secret techniques, the Chongyuan Huntian Pill can enable cultivators at the second-stage perfect realm to break through to the third stage with 100% success.

Lu Cheng'an has already collected all the materials needed to refine the Chongyuan Huntian Pill. If Shi Ningyu can successfully refine the Chongyuan Huntian Pill, he can directly use this secret method to raise the cultivation level of the monsters such as the Fuyue Bear suppressed under Chiyan Mountain to the third rank.

Many of the demonic beasts, such as the Mountain Bear, are at the second-stage perfect realm, especially the Mountain Bear and the Crimson Horned Python, whose cultivation is about to break through to the third stage.

With the help of secret techniques, their breakthrough to the third rank is almost a certainty.

"The difficulty in refining this Primordial Chaos Pill is not high. If I study it, I am 90% confident that I can refine this pill!"

Shi Ningyu spoke softly, still very puzzled, not understanding what the Chongyuan Huntian Pill had to do with her grandfather's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm.

"Brother An, what is the purpose of this Primordial Chaos Pill?"

"The Chongyuan Huntian Pill is a pill used in a secret technique of the Burning Flame Sect. The main function of this technique is to assist demonic beasts at the second-stage perfect realm to break through to the third stage. Currently, many demonic beasts at the second-stage perfect realm are being suppressed at the foot of Crimson Smoke Mountain."

"If we use this secret method to help them break through to the third rank, we can obtain the power of origin from their bodies!" Lu Cheng'an said.

When a demon beast first breaks through to the third rank, the essence it generates within its body is the most important material for refining the Golden Core.

The essence of a third-tier demon beast is the most difficult material to obtain when refining a Golden Core. Although the auxiliary materials needed to refine a Golden Core are also quite rare, it is not difficult for Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu to obtain them.

During their return journey, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu passed through so many immortal cities that they had already collected all the auxiliary materials needed to refine the Golden Core.

A look of surprise appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. She hadn't expected Lu Cheng'an to give her such a surprise.

"Thank you, Brother An!" Shi Ningyu said with a smile.

She knew that Lu Cheng'an did this because of her.

"It's what I should do, after all, I've taken away his most beloved granddaughter!" Lu Cheng'an said with a soft laugh.

He and Shi Ningyu had agreed to cultivate the Yin-Yang Co-cultivation Yuanling Technique together, but they planned to wait a while before practicing this dual cultivation secret technique.

They had agreed that they would cultivate the Yin-Yang Co-existing Yuanling Technique together when their cultivation levels were about to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The first time a male and female cultivator engage in dual cultivation yields the best results, as the male's primordial yang energy and the female's primordial yin energy will become the best treasures for breaking through realms.

"These are the materials for refining the Primordial Chaos Pill. Refine this pill as soon as possible, and then we will use it to help the second-stage perfected demon beasts such as the Fuyue Bear break through to the third stage."

"Once these demonic beasts successfully break through, we will extract their primordial power to refine the Golden Core!" Lu Cheng'an said.

After handing over the materials for refining the Chongyuan Huntian Pill to Shi Ningyu, he did not linger at the Dan Ding Sect and soon left with Que Yun and Chi Liu.

During the time Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were away, Chi Liu, following Lu Cheng'an's orders, stayed at Dan Ding Sect to guard the area.

Lu Cheng'an and his companion were not gone for long, and they kept their departure a secret. During this time, the third-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Flame Lion, remained calm and did not launch any attacks on the human forces around the Burning Flame Mountains.

This is because the third-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Flame Lion, changed their minds. They knew that without reinforcements from the Hong'e Mountains, they would not be able to defeat the human Golden Core cultivators like Lu Cheng'an.

The reinforcements for the Hong'e Mountains also need to include powerful late-stage Tier 3 monsters like Yuan Hong.

However, there aren't many demonic beasts of this strength even in the Hong'e Mountains. If a demonic beast of this strength were to enter the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect, it might be ambushed and killed by the Golden Core cultivators of the human race within the Ancient Desolate Sect.

For this reason, the Hong'e Mountains will no longer send reinforcements of third-tier demonic beasts into the Burning Flame Mountains.

Therefore, after careful discussion, the third-tier demonic beasts, including the Azure Flame Lion, devised a new plan to deal with the human cultivators.

The rate at which demonic beasts reproduce far exceeds the rate at which human cultivators can cultivate them.

The third-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Flame Lion, are preparing to focus on cultivating the first and second-tier demonic beasts of the Burning Flame Mountain Range until they reach a certain number.

They would then drive these first and second-tier demonic beasts into the territories of human cultivators around the Burning Flame Mountains, allowing these first and second-tier demonic beasts to hunt and kill human cultivators and mortals indiscriminately.

The third-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Flame Lion, had already considered that since they could not directly kill those human Golden Core cultivators, they would rely on the power of these low-tier demonic beasts to hinder the growth of those low-tier human cultivators and mortals, thereby weakening the overall strength of human cultivators.

The spiritual energy in the Burning Flame Mountains is extremely rich, enough to nurture a large number of first and second-tier demonic beasts.

After the implementation of this policy, the number of first-tier demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains has indeed been growing rapidly over the past period of time.

However, it takes these first-tier demonic beasts more than ten years, or even several decades, to become second-tier demonic beasts.

This period of time is not long for third-tier demonic beasts like the Azure Flame Lion, since third-tier demonic beasts have a much longer lifespan than human cultivators, who have at least a thousand years of lifespan.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were unaware of the plans of the third-tier demonic beasts, including the Azure Flame Lion. After learning about the Lu family and the Dan Ding Sect from Chi Liu, they completely relaxed.

Lu Cheng'an quickly returned to Chiyan Mountain from Dan Ding Sect with Que Yun and Chi Liu. Afterwards, Que Yun and Chi Liu returned to their respective caves to cultivate.

Lu Cheng'an did not enter his own cave dwelling, but instead went to find Lu Wenxing to learn about the current situation of the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an's absence from the family this time was not long, and the Lu family did not undergo any major changes.

Lu Cheng'an was only worried about the situation of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree and the Five Elements Spring.

Since the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree was successfully planted at the foot of Red Smoke Mountain, Lu Jingkun has been personally taking care of this precious tree.

After Lu Jingtong successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm again by relying on the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, he and Lu Jingkun took care of the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree together.

Lu Jingtong is skilled in the art of cultivating spiritual plants, and he has a good talent for it. In addition, the Lu family has a lineage of high-level spiritual plant masters.

Not long after his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he successfully became a second-tier low-grade spirit plant master. Under the careful care of Lu Jingkun and his companion, the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree has now successfully survived in Crimson Smoke Mountain.

Lu Jingkun also set up several spirit-gathering arrays in the place where the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree grew, and also cultivated second-order spirit veins in this place.

Second-tier spiritual veins are much easier to cultivate than third-tier spiritual veins. Lu Jingkun was able to set up second-tier spirit gathering arrays and spirit nurturing arrays on his own.

In addition, with the Lu family's unlimited investment of resources, several second-order spiritual veins have now been cultivated in the place where the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree grows.

However, the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree is only of the middle grade of the third rank. This spiritual plant has a great need for spiritual energy. Only spiritual energy nurtured by at least a third-rank spiritual vein is sufficient for the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree.

Therefore, Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingkun filled a large amount of spirit stones into the root system of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree, which was enough for the tree to grow.

However, to completely solve this problem, it is necessary to cultivate a third-order spiritual vein.

Compared to the troublesome Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree, the Five Elements Spring Heart is much simpler.

After Lu Cheng'an dug out the spiritual spring in the weapon-refining room, he placed the Five Elements Spring Core at the bottom of the spiritual spring. After such a long time, the Five Elements Spring Core has completely merged with the spiritual spring.

Now, after being imbued with the power of the Five Elements Spring Heart, the spring water has slowly transformed into the Five Elements Spiritual Spring, which contains the primordial energy of the Five Elements.

Lu Cheng'an first returned to his cave to check the changes in the Five Elements Spring. After confirming that the Five Elements Spiritual Spring had taken shape, he then checked Jin Yuan's cultivation level.

Jin Yuan is a mineral-eating spirit, and he can quickly refine various ores. If Lu Cheng'an wants to become a high-level weapon refiner in the future, Jin Yuan can provide him with a lot of help.

Lu Cheng'an invested a lot of resources in Jin Yuan, and fortunately Jin Yuan did not disappoint Lu Cheng'an's expectations. He usually cultivated very diligently.

Unfortunately, Jin Yuan's talent is limited, and his cultivation level is still stuck at the mid-stage of the second tier.

After checking Jin Yuan's cultivation level, Lu Cheng'an took out a bluish-white stone the size of a washbasin from his storage ring.

"Master, what is this? Is it a gift for me? It feels so comforting!"

Jin Yuan was originally perched on Lu Cheng'an's shoulder, but after seeing Lu Cheng'an take out the bluish-white stone, she immediately jumped onto it.

Although Jin Yuan's cultivation level is currently at the mid-stage of the second tier, he only increases his cultivation level but not his height. He is still only the size of a palm, covered in fur, and still very cute.

"This is a mid-grade third-tier Earth Marrow Mother Stone. If you refine the power contained within it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation and there is also a certain chance of awakening your bloodline!"
"Keep this Earth Marrow Mother Stone safe. Use it to cultivate diligently and break through to the late stage of the second tier as soon as possible!" Lu Cheng'an said.

He purchased this third-grade, mid-level Earth Marrow Mother Stone in Diyuan City, a celestial city built by the Houtu Sect within the Haoyang Sect.

The Thick Earth Sect is extremely powerful, with more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators within its ranks.

The Earth Marrow Mother Stone is a treasure recorded in the Burning Flame Sect's heritage that assists the Mineral-Eating Spirit Clan in their cultivation. Lu Cheng'an only discovered the existence of this treasure in Diyuan City.

He spent quite a bit of effort to acquire this piece of genomic nucleus.

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely cultivate diligently!"

After Jin Yuan's plump little paws caught the basin-sized genomicon stone, he immediately put it into the storage bag slung across his waist.

"You should focus on your cultivation. I need you to help me refine the ore to craft some third-tier magic weapons!"

Lu Cheng'an plans to refine the Earth Flame Purple Gold Bell and the Seven Birds Divine Fire Fan, but before that, he needs to refine a large number of third-grade low-level magic weapons to practice.

Although refining a low-grade third-tier magic weapon requires third-tier materials, the amount of third-tier materials needed is not large. The most important materials are a large quantity of first- and second-tier materials.

If Jin Yuan's cultivation level successfully breaks through to the third rank, he will be able to refine all the second-rank materials, which will save Lu Cheng'an a lot of time.

After obtaining the Earth Marrow Mother Stone from Lu Cheng'an, Jin Yuan happily left his cave and went to his own cave.

Although Jin Yuan was small in stature, his cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the second rank. In addition, because of Lu Cheng'an, he was also assigned a cave dwelling in a very good location in Chiyan Mountain.

After Jin Yuan left Lu Cheng'an's cave, Lu Cheng'an followed suit and headed down the mountain to where the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Trees were planted.

After learning about the current situation of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree from Lu Jingkun and Lu Jingtong, Lu Cheng'an took out a set of third-order Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Nurturing Array from his storage ring.

These two formations were used by the bandit cultivators of Zhangzhu Island to cultivate third-tier spiritual veins, and their quality is quite good.

"With these two sets of third-tier spiritual veins, the family will soon be able to cultivate third-tier spiritual veins here!"

Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on Lu Jingkun, and he said, "The number of cultivators in the family is increasing. Sooner or later, Chiyan Mountain will not be able to accommodate all the cultivators in the family. I plan to renovate the family's location, and I need your help for this!"

Lu Cheng'an now has the power to move mountains, but the mountains he moves will sever the spiritual veins and earth energy, making such mountains worthless.

The Earthly Jade Book that Lu Jingkun has been practicing can perfectly solve this problem, but his current cultivation level is too low, and he does not yet have the ability to move mountains.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun need to work together to complete this task.

"Rest assured, Elder, I will fully cooperate with you!" Lu Jingkun said earnestly.

"We'll help with the third-tier spirit gathering array and spirit nurturing array after we've renovated the family's spiritual land. Now, come with me to find suitable spiritual peaks, and then the two of us will relocate these peaks to the vicinity of Crimson Smoke Mountain!" Lu Cheng'an said.

He had been considering this matter for a while, and after returning from the Poison Swamp Immortal City, he decided to put it on the agenda.

Lu Cheng'an has already instructed Lu Wenxing to send a message to Lu Chengping, telling him to find a way to return to the family.

Because Lu Chengping is a second-tier top-grade spirit array master.

Once he and Lu Jingkun have successfully moved those spirit peaks to the vicinity of Chiyan Mountain, they will need to set up a large number of spirit arrays, which will require the help of Lu Chengping, a second-tier top-grade spirit array master.

After making arrangements with Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an took Lu Jingkun away from the family and began searching for a suitable spiritual peak within the family's territory.

The Lu family now occupies a vast territory, and there are many spiritual peaks in these territories, but many of these spiritual peaks are occupied by cultivators.
