Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 237 Beast Tide
Now, Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun have also set up a large number of second-order spirit arrays on the spirit peaks such as Suixing Peak. These second-order spirit arrays are all sub-arrays of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array.

Each individual sub-array possesses extraordinary power, and the power of these sub-arrays can be condensed together, at which point the power of these sub-arrays will double.

The power of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array cannot be fully revealed at the second tier. Only at the third tier will the terrifying nature of this array gradually become apparent.

However, a third-order formation requires a third-order spiritual vein to provide enough power for it to operate. This is why Lu Cheng'an first had Lu Chengping set up third-order spirit gathering and spirit nurturing formations on spiritual peaks such as Suixing Peak.

They need to first set up third-order spiritual veins on these spiritual peaks.

After Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave with the method of refining the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun began to set up spirit arrays and cultivate third-order spirit veins on spirit peaks such as Suixing Peak.

Lu Jingkun's talent is better than Lu Chengping's, whether in cultivation or spirit arrays.

However, Lu Chengping's cultivation level is higher than Lu Jingkun's, and his current abilities are still stronger than Lu Jingkun's.

This time, Lu Jingkun learned a lot from Lu Chengping while setting up the spirit array, which greatly helped improve his spirit array skills.

After Lu Jingkun went to help Lu Chengping set up the third-order spirit array, the task of taking care of the blood essence rice fell entirely on Lu Jingtong's shoulders.

Lu Chengping's return from the Spirit Gu Sect also allowed him to witness the Lu family's cultivation of Blood Essence Rice.

The blood essence rice transplanted by the Lu family is growing much better than that of the Linggu Sect, but the Linggu Sect's method of cultivating blood essence rice also has some ingenious aspects.

Lu Chengping naturally favored the Lu family, so he told Lu Jingtong and Lu Jingkun all the methods for cultivating blood essence rice that the Linggu Sect had researched.

Lu Jingtong and Lu Jingkun studied it carefully and extracted the useful information.

However, these methods have little effect on Blood Essence Rice. To ensure that the quality of Blood Essence Rice does not drop, or to improve the quality of Blood Essence Rice, it is still necessary to find fertilizer suitable for the growth of Blood Essence Rice.

Lu Jingtong has been researching this matter for some time and has consulted a large number of spiritual plant master inheritance books.

After Lu Cheng'an provided him with some ideas, and with his accumulated knowledge over this period, he finally came up with a feasible method.

The flesh and blood of the blue antelope are indeed useful for the growth of blood rice.

However, to achieve the best results, other auxiliary materials and various proportions are also needed.

During this time, Lu Jingtong also asked Qinghong to take him to the Burning Flame Mountains to capture monsters. There were no restrictions on the types of monsters, and Lu Jingtong had Qinghong capture some of them.

After that, he compared and matched the flesh and bones of these demonic beasts with those of the green-horned antelopes, and for this purpose, he had Qing Hong slaughter some more green-horned antelopes.

After confirming that the blue-horned antelope was beneficial to the growth of blood essence rice, Lu Jingtong informed Lu Cheng'an of this matter.

Afterwards, with the support of Lu Cheng'an, the Lu family began to vigorously cultivate the blue-horned antelope, a type of demonic beast.

Lu Cheng'an brought back two hundred blue antelopes from the ruins of the Wanling Sect. These blue antelopes were all in their prime.

In order to help these blue antelopes reproduce quickly, Lu Jingtong even went to Lu Chengyao to ask for his help.

Lu Chengyao's cultivation also broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. He was also a second-tier Beast Tamer, specifically in charge of the Lu family's cultivation of demonic beasts.

There are many intricacies to the breeding and propagation of demonic beasts, requiring various secret techniques and elixirs to assist in the process.

The simplest method is to cultivate it using elixirs, such as the Mother-Child Elixir and the Aphrodisiac Powder.

The Lu family doesn't have many alchemists, and they purchase all the pills they need from the Dan Ding Sect.

After receiving Lu Jingkun's invitation, Lu Chengyao entered Suixing Peak and began to try to breed the blue antelopes so that they could produce more offspring as soon as possible.

The initial results are already visible, with many ewes already pregnant. If all of these ewes give birth, it will increase the population of blue antelopes by at least two hundred.

Of course, for the young antelopes to become demon beasts, the Lu family would need to spend a great deal of resources to nurture them.

Lu Jingtong believed that the flesh and blood of the green antelope was the main material for cultivating blood essence rice. At present, the number of green antelopes in the Lu family was not enough, so he was quite cautious in his research and did not dare to kill too many green antelopes for research.

Lu Jingtong has a great talent for spiritual plants. In addition, he already has a research direction and has the inheritance of a high-level spiritual plant master as a foundation. As long as he has enough time, he will definitely be able to develop fertilizer suitable for cultivating blood essence rice.

Lu Cheng'an didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things. After returning to his cave with the jade slip containing the method for refining the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, he began to devote himself to studying the method for refining this magical treasure.

This is a magical artifact he has never encountered before. If he can successfully refine the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, his weapon-refining skills will definitely be greatly improved.

Time passed slowly, and more than two months went by in the blink of an eye.

After studying the crafting method of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc for so long, Lu Cheng'an was finally confident that he could craft this magical treasure.

At this moment, he sent a message to Lu Chengping, asking him to temporarily stop setting up the spirit array and join him in refining the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc.

In the past two months, Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun have set up a large number of spirit arrays. All the spirit peaks, including Suixing Peak, have been equipped with third-order spirit gathering arrays and spirit nurturing arrays. The Lu family has begun to set up third-order spirit veins on these spirit peaks.

However, Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun mainly set up the sub-arrays of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array. Even after so much time has passed, they still haven't finished setting up all the sub-arrays.

During the process of setting up the formation, Lu Chengping and Lu Chengping's understanding of formations improved significantly, and their skills in setting up spirit formations improved rapidly.

After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, Lu Chengping told Lu Jingkun what to do and then immediately went to Lu Cheng'an's cave.

"Brother Chengping, first refine these main materials for forging the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc. Then, follow my instructions, and we'll begin forging the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc!" Lu Chengan said with a smile.

This wasn't the first time Lu Cheng'an had done something like this. He had previously helped Shi Ningyu refine her natal magic weapon, the Divine Jade Exquisite Pagoda, and now he had enough experience.

After receiving the materials from Lu Cheng'an, Lu Chengping immediately began refining them.

These materials have all been refined by Lu Cheng'an, and their grade is all at the third level.

The large quantities of first and second-tier materials needed to refine the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc were given to Jin Yuan for tempering.

It had been a long time since Jin Yuan's cultivation broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. He relied on the Earth Marrow Mother Stone, a treasure that Lu Cheng'an helped him find, to cultivate, and now his cultivation speed is much faster than before.

In a few more years, his cultivation will be able to break through to the second-stage perfection. However, his bloodline talent is not high, and it will not be easy for him to break through from the second-stage perfection to the third stage, unless he can obtain a treasure that can help him change his bloodline.

Blood-sperm rice does have this effect, but it only applies to unborn babies.

If Jin Yuan were to consume Blood Essence Rice, it would have no effect on him, only on his offspring.

As Jin Yuan's cultivation level continued to improve, he was able to refine first and second-tier materials at an increasingly faster pace, and the quality of the refined ores also improved.

After Lu Chengping spent three days refining the main materials for crafting the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, Lu Chengan did not waste any more time and quickly began crafting the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc.

The Celestial Evolution Divine Disc consists of two parts: the Celestial Evolution Divine Disc itself and the Celestial Evolution Pearl that floats on top of it.

Both of these parts are very difficult to refine.

Lu Cheng'an first refined the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc. He first refined the embryo of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, and there were no problems in the process.

Next, numerous rune arrays, as well as the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array, were imprinted on the embryo of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc.

"Brother Chengping, now follow my instructions and begin imprinting the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array!"

After Lu Cheng'an imprinted numerous rune arrays onto the embryo of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, he suddenly instructed Lu Chengping to begin imprinting the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array.

Lu Chengping had been keeping a close eye on Lu Chengan's progress in refining the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc. Upon hearing Lu Chengan's voice, he did not hesitate at all and immediately began to imprint the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array according to Lu Chengan's instructions.

The Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Formation was extremely complex for Lu Cheng'an, but it was very simple in Lu Chengping's eyes.

This is not only because Lu Chengping is a third-tier spirit array master, but also because of the cultivation technique he practices, the Heavenly Evolution Technique.

The Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Formation is closely related to the cultivation technique practiced by Lu Chengping.

When Lu Chengping branded the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array onto the artifact embryo, Lu Cheng'an stopped branding the talisman array.

He had been keeping a close eye on the embryo of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc, worried that something might go wrong.

Fortunately, Lu Chengping was very familiar with the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Array. After spending eight days, he successfully imprinted the five Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Arrays.

Lu Cheng'an breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array imprint was successfully completed, it would mean that the crafting of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc magic weapon was already halfway done.

Without any hesitation, he continued to imprint runes around the five Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Arrays.

More than half a month passed before Lu Cheng'an finally completed imprinting all the rune arrays.

At this moment, he took out the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc from the refining furnace, drew a ball of spring water from the Five Elements Spring beside him, and then enveloped the entire Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc within it.

With a hissing sound, the Five Elements Spring water immediately released billowing white mist.

Stimulated by the spring water, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc also reacted violently, and the talisman array imprinted by Lu Cheng'an and the Heavenly Evolution Divine Transformation Trapping Heaven Array set up by Lu Chengping both encountered significant problems.

After the violent reaction subsided, Lu Cheng'an quickly cast several spells with both hands, and then put the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc back into the refining furnace for further refinement.

Next, he and Lu Chengping needed to repair the damaged rune array. After several rounds of tempering, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc was finally successfully refined.

The subsequent refining process was much easier, and no problems arose.

It took Lu Cheng'an another two months to completely refine the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc.

If we add the time he spent researching, he spent nearly half a year refining the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc.

During the refining process, Lu Chengping also incorporated his own essence and soul essence as instructed by Lu Chengan. After the Heavenly Evolution Divine Disc was successfully refined, he immediately stored it in his dantian to nurture it.

As soon as Lu Cheng'an saw Lu Chengping out of his cave, he saw Lu Wenxing anxiously waiting outside.

"Cheng'an, Chengping, the Azure Flame Lion and other third-tier demonic beasts from the Burning Flame Mountain Range have launched a beast tide!" Lu Wenxing said with a worried expression.

"What's the current situation? Besides the third-tier demonic beasts we know about, have any new third-tier demonic beasts appeared in the Burning Flame Mountains?" Lu Cheng'an asked quickly.

"Right now, it's just a first- or second-tier demonic beast invasion, but there are simply too many of them. Moreover, they haven't coalesced into one force; instead, they've dispersed into the human territory surrounding the Burning Flame Mountains. Clearing them all out will be an extremely troublesome task!"

"The third-tier demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains haven't made a move yet, but Qinghong and Queyun reported that the third-tier demonic beasts in the Burning Flame Mountains haven't changed; there are still only third-tier demonic beasts like the Azure Flame Lion!"

Lu Wenxing quickly informed Lu Cheng'an and the other man about the beast tide.

"Then we'll mobilize all cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages within the territory to hunt down those first and second-tier demonic beasts. I'll have Lingxuan and Chiliu assist us..."

Lu Cheng'an quickly made arrangements and sent messages to the nearby Dan Ding Sect and Tian Yan Sect, asking them to organize cultivators to hunt down those first and second-tier demonic beasts.

Lu Cheng'an did not intend to let cultivators at the Golden Core stage get too involved in this matter, as the Lu family had cultivated a large number of cultivators over the years.

However, these cultivators had not experienced any dangerous situations, which resulted in their lack of combat experience.

This time, the third-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Flame Lion, launched a beast tide, while the other beasts were all first- or second-tier. This provided a good opportunity for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lu family to train.

Those cultivators who excel during the beast tide will receive generous rewards and subsequent focused training from their families.

After Lu Cheng'an made the arrangements, Lu Wenxing felt much more at ease. He immediately followed Lu Cheng'an's instructions and began to organize the family's cultivators to deal with the attack of the beast tide.

Perhaps because the cultivators of the Lu family at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages were aware of the family's current strength, they did not feel alarmed after learning that the third-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Flame Lion, had launched a beast tide attack.

Moreover, after learning that the family wanted to use this beast tide to test their abilities and had set generous rewards, all the cultivators of the Lu family were eager to show their skills in the upcoming battles.

The Lu family and the surrounding cultivation forces had been preparing for this event for some time. After the third-tier demonic beasts such as the Azure Flame Lion launched the beast tide, the cultivation forces led by the Lu family immediately reacted and began to besiege the demonic beasts that had entered human territory.
