Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Chengjue glanced at his older sister's expression and then revealed his thoughts.

"Xiao Jue, you've decided to get married and have children!" Lu's mother exclaimed in surprise, immediately turning her gaze to Lu Chengjue.

All parents are the same. Even though both of Lu's children are cultivators, Lu's mother still wanted to see them get married before she passed away.

The main reason why Lu's mother had this idea was because she had always lived with ordinary people.

After all, Lu's mother was a mortal, and she would not be comfortable staying with cultivators.

"Mother, I've made up my mind. I will get married and have children within the next year or two!" Lu Chengjue said with a smile.

His cultivation level is currently at the late stage of Qi Refining, and he comes from the Lu Clan of Immortals, so finding a suitable marriage partner would not be difficult for him.

After hearing his younger brother's advice, Lu Chengyue felt a deep sense of helplessness.

She suddenly understood why the clan leader and the Supreme Elder hadn't objected when she suggested taking her mother and younger brother to the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Perhaps they had already guessed that their mother and younger brother were unwilling to go with her to live in the Desolate Ancient Sect.

After careful consideration, Lu Chengyue realized that if she really brought her mother and younger brother to live in the Desolate Ancient Sect, their lives might not be as comfortable as they were in their own family.

There are countless Foundation Establishment cultivators within the Ancient Desolate Sect. Even though she has a powerful master behind her, she herself is still only a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

There are quite a few people in the Ancient Desolate Sect who are stronger than her, and she has also made some enemies in the Ancient Desolate Sect over the years.

Upon realizing this, Lu Chengyue let out a helpless sigh and had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​taking his mother and younger brother to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

Since entering the Desolate Ancient Sect, Lu Chengyue has never returned to his family.

After deciding to give up taking her mother and younger brother to the Ancient Desolate Sect, she thought she should stay in the family for a while longer and spend more time with her mother and younger brother.

However, she also had to consider her fifth senior brother who would take her back to the family. Therefore, after discussing it with her fifth senior brother, she finally decided to stay at the Lu family for half a month.

During this period, Liu Yunyang did not stay at the Lu family, but inspected the Lu family and several surrounding Golden Core forces, with a focus on inspecting the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

Lu Cheng'an had anticipated this, so when he learned that Liu Yunyang was coming to the Lu family, he had Que Yun and other third-tier demonic beasts lead the demonic beasts raised by the Lu family into the underground of the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

This is also a base built by the Lu family to hide these monsters. It is located deep underground in the Burning Flame Mountains, some distance away from the underground lava river.

There is a third-order concealment formation set up here. Unless a cultivator at the Golden Core stage goes deep underground to investigate, the existence of monsters like the Sparrow Meteor cannot be detected at all.

Of course, the best option for monsters like the Sparrow Meteor to hide in the underground lava river is to hide, but some monsters cannot adapt to the scorching temperature of the underground lava river.

Therefore, after discussion, the cultivators of the Lu family came up with this compromise.

Liu Muyang only had the cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage, and he had only recently broken through to the Golden Core realm. His strength was very limited, so he naturally could not detect the existence of third-tier demonic beasts such as Queyun.

As for the spirit race, including Lingxuan, who were mining materials in the underground lava river, Liu Muyang was even less able to detect their existence.

These third-tier mineral deposits are still beneath the underground magma river. Even if Liu Muyang enters the underground magma river, he will not be able to detect the presence of Ling Xuan and other Spirit Clan cultivators.

After finding nothing in the Burning Flame Mountains, Liu Muyang quickly left the Burning Flame Mountains and began to patrol other areas.

Half a month flies by in a blink of an eye.

Half a month later, Liu Muyang returned to the Lu family's Yingke Peak on time and left the Lu family with Lu Chengyue.

Within these two weeks, Lu Chengjue also accomplished a major life event—getting married!
Lu Chengjue is not young anymore. Over the years, he has traveled and met some female cultivators from other families or small clans. There have been some who have developed feelings for each other.

Lu Chengjue was born into the Lu family, a Golden Core Immortal Clan, and also had a half-sister who cultivated in the Ancient Desolate Sect and whose cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment stage. Such conditions were quite good.

Therefore, Lu Chengjue was able to find a marriage partner in just half a month.

Lu Chengjue married a female rogue cultivator surnamed Luo, whose cultivation level was at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Her cultivation talent was better than Lu Chengjue's, and she was also a few years younger than him.

If she had the same background as Lu Chengjue, her current cultivation level would definitely be more than just the sixth level of Qi Refining.

When Lu Chengyue left, she naturally left a lot of cultivation resources for her younger brother and sister-in-law.

Lu Chengyue's current cultivation level is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Even if she supports her younger brother and his wife until their cultivation levels break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, it will not have any impact.

The price of Foundation Establishment Pills is relatively high, and Lu Chengyue is not yet able to easily obtain them.

Even with these cultivation resources, Lu Chengjue wasn't particularly keen on taking them.

His older sister had a hard time living alone in the Desolate Ancient Sect, so he naturally didn't want to become a burden to her.

However, Lu Chengjue still couldn't be as forceful as Lu Chengyue, and those cultivation resources were still left in the Lu family by Lu Chengyue.

After Lu Chengyue left with Liu Muyang, Lu Chengan went straight back to the underground lava river and began his secluded cultivation again.

Lu Wenxing then went to comfort Lu Chengjue and secretly assured him that as long as his cultivation successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, the family would definitely support him with a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

The Lu family currently lacks Foundation Establishment spiritual items, but once Lu Chengjue's cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the Lu family will no longer lack Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

This is because of that mid-grade, third-tier Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree.

More than twenty years have passed since this mid-grade, third-tier Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree was transplanted to the Lu family.

If the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree grows normally, it takes fifty years to mature once.

However, after this Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree was transplanted to the Lu family, it was carefully cultivated by Lu Jingtong and Lu Jingkun.

Its maturation cycle will definitely be shortened considerably. Judging from the current situation, the growth cycle of this Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree will be shortened by at least five years.

This timeframe is likely to increase in the future, and there is even a significant chance that it will be shortened by ten years.

Lu Chengjue's current cultivation level is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so he still has a considerable chance of using the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit that has ripened on this Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree.

After comforting Lu Chengjue, Lu Wenxing returned to his cave and began to devote himself to cultivation.

Lu Wenxing has been cultivating for quite some time now, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. The cultivation resources he has obtained are among the top-tier resources in the Lu family.

This was not because Lu Wenxing, as the clan leader, acted out of favoritism, but because of the approval of Lu Cheng'an and other cultivators in the Lu family. Putting aside Lu Wenxing's status as clan leader, his own cultivation talent was quite good, and the chances of him breaking through to the Golden Core realm were very high.

This was also because he had spent too much energy on family affairs in the early stages, which delayed his own cultivation.

As the Lu family's power grew stronger, the family's affairs did not decrease; on the contrary, they increased.

However, Lu Wenxing did not spend more time on family affairs. This was because the Lu family's development had gotten on the right track, and he no longer needed to do everything personally. As long as he could ensure that the general direction was not deviated, that was enough.

Lu Wenxing was exceptionally capable in handling these matters, so Lu Chengan never considered taking over Lu Wenxing's position as clan leader.

However, the Lu family has already become a Golden Core power. If Lu Wenxing's cultivation level is still at the Foundation Establishment stage, then as the patriarch of the Lu family, this cultivation level is somewhat mismatched.

That's why Lu Cheng'an told Lu Wenxing to focus on cultivation and break through to the Golden Core realm as soon as possible.

Fortunately, nothing major has happened in the Lu family yet, and there aren't many things that Lu Wenxing needs to handle personally, so he can spend his time cultivating.

Cultivation knows no time; nine years passed in the blink of an eye.

Nine years is not a short time, and the Lu family has undergone considerable changes.

After nine years of secluded cultivation, Lu Wenxing's cultivation has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and he can now attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage.

The Lu family still has two Golden Core pills in stock. These two Golden Core pills were made by Lu Cheng before Shi Ningyu left, when he asked her to help refine them.

Shi Ningyu refined a total of three, two of which remained with the Lu family, and the third remained with the Dan Ding Sect.

The Dan Ding Sect also has a cultivator who has the potential to break through to the Golden Core realm; this person is Wu Qing'an, the second elder of the Dan Ding Sect.

When Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he had a fairly good relationship with Xu Shao, Wu Qing'an's eldest disciple.

However, as Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level increased, his contact with Xu Shao became less and less frequent.

This is not only because they both devoted their time to cultivation, but also because there is another very important reason: the gap between them is widening.

Although Lu Cheng'an did not look down on Xu Shao because of the difference in their cultivation levels, Xu Shao still distanced himself from Lu Cheng'an because of this difference.

Xu Shao's master, Wu Qing'an, held a rather unique position in the Dan Ding Sect. He was not skilled in refining pills, so he spent more time on cultivation, which was also related to his high talent in cultivation.

Wu Qing'an's cultivation has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, and his progress is similar to that of Lu Wenxing. The two of them may break through to the Golden Core Realm one after the other.

After nine years of arduous cultivation, Lu Wenhua has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm. He still has a considerable chance of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm in the future.

Lu Jingkun took longer than Lu Wenxing to break through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection realm, but his cultivation talent was far superior to Lu Wenxing's.

He has now reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He has now exchanged a Golden Core from the family treasury and has begun seclusion to attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Lu Wenxing has a high talent for cultivation. Although he is still very young, he is very well prepared.

This time, he broke through to the Golden Core realm during his seclusion, and Lu Cheng'an and other Lu family cultivators had great confidence in him.

Lu Chengyue returned to the Lu family again, this time mainly because her mother had passed away.

Lu's mother was an ordinary person, and she was already quite old, so it was quite normal for her to pass away at that age.

When Lu's mother passed away, Lu Chengjue was already pregnant with a child, which could be considered as fulfilling his mother's wish.

This time, Lu Chengyue returned to her family alone. After her mother's funeral was over, Lu Chengyue did not stay at the Lu family for long and soon returned to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

When she left, she told Lu Chengjue that she might not be back for a long time until her cultivation broke through to the Golden Core realm.

At the same time, she also spoke with clan leader Lu Wenxing and told him some news about the Sacred Heart Sect and the demon king in the Hong'e Mountains.

The Sacred Heart Sect has not given up on uniting with the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, but because the Butterfly Demon King has not yet returned, the fourth-tier demonic beasts, such as the Azure Lion Demon King, have not relented.

But this does not mean that the Sacred Heart Sect did nothing.

The Holy Heart Ancestor has made up his mind to take action against the Nascent Soul sects of the Qingzhou cultivation world, including the Ancient Desolate Sect. Even without joining forces with the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, he will not give up this plan.

Below the Sacred Heart Sect are many heretical sects. Now, the Sacred Heart Sect has allowed cultivators from these heretical sects to secretly infiltrate the territories of Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect and develop their own power in secret.

The cultivation methods practiced by heretical cultivators prioritize speed, which holds an unspeakable allure for some cultivators who have been stuck at a certain realm for many years without any breakthrough.

If those heretical cultivators were to actually enter the territory of Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect and develop their influence, they could easily succeed.

Lu Chengyue wanted Lu Wenxing to thoroughly investigate the cultivators within the territory to prevent evil cultivators from taking advantage of any loopholes.

After telling Lu Wenxing this information, she did not stay at the Lu family and returned directly to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

The Lu family is currently better informed than Lu Chengyue, because Lu Chengyue's cultivation level is still at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even though she came from the Desolate Ancient Sect, there was still a lot of information that she couldn't access.

If her cultivation level were to break through to the Golden Core realm, this situation would change drastically.

In the past nine years, the Lu family has also added a lot of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Originally, the Lu family had a total of eighteen Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has increased to twenty-nine, an average increase of one per year.

Of course, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lu family was not large in the previous few years; the increase in Foundation Establishment cultivators was all in recent years.

This is because the Lu family's rapidly growing number of cultivators have now reached the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, which has led to an increasing number of cultivators breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Lu Chengjue's cultivation level has not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but he has already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Because of his sister Lu Chengyue, he doesn't need to worry about Foundation Establishment spirit objects anymore.

Out of respect for Lu Chengyue, the Lu family will do their best to support Lu Chengjue in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

The Five Elements Spiritual Fruit Tree is not yet ripe, and these Foundation Establishment spiritual items were all purchased by the Lu family from other places.

The Lu family is currently quite powerful, and with the addition of the third-tier mineral deposits in the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains, they are not lacking in cultivation resources. (End of Chapter)
