Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"Uncle, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by Ningyu and Danding Sect after they learned of your breakthrough. These pills will be very beneficial to your future cultivation, so you should make good use of them!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"You're so kind, niece-in-law!" Lu Wenhua said with a smile as he accepted the gifts from Shi Ningyu and Dan Ding Zong.

He was extremely satisfied with the wife Lu Chengan had chosen, but it was a pity that his brother and sister-in-law would never see their son marry such an excellent wife.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu did not stay in Lu Wenhua's cave for long. Shortly after Shi Ningyu delivered the prepared third-grade pills, the two left Lu Wenhua's cave together.

After that, Lu Wenhua did not go into seclusion to cultivate, but went to Lu Wenxing's cave.

Previously, Lu Wenhua had spent most of his time cultivating and had not dealt with many family affairs.

He has now successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm, but given his limited talent for cultivation, his potential has been largely exhausted.

Next, he will reduce his cultivation time and devote more attention to family affairs, reducing the burden on Golden Core cultivators in the clan such as Lu Wenxing, so that they can have more time to focus on cultivation.

After returning to their cave, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu began to study the cultivation method of the True Yang Body Refining Technique together.

The two were Daoist partners, and they cultivated the Yin-Yang Co-cultivation Technique together. The fastest way for them to comprehend the True Yang Body Refining Technique was to cultivate together.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu both possess top-tier cultivation talent, and their comprehension is also exceptional.

After studying the True Yang Body Refining Technique together for a month, the two of them gained a deeper understanding of this body refining technique.

"The True Yang Body Refining Technique is extremely yang and more suitable for men to cultivate. If women cultivate this body refining technique, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort, and they will be more prone to problems during the cultivation process!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Shi Ningyu and continued, "The True Yang Body Refining Technique is to refine the power of the sun to temper the body. The power of the sun corresponds to the power of the moon. Let's take the True Yang Body Refining Technique as the foundation and study it carefully to see if we can figure out a way to temper the body by relying on the power of the moon!"

Shi Ningyu obtained the True Yang Body Refining Technique, which has five levels. This means that even if Lu Cheng'an's cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he can still cultivate the True Yang Body Refining Technique, a method for tempering the physical body.

The True Yang Body Refining Technique is extremely profound. If Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu have a thorough understanding of this technique, then it would not be difficult for them to deduce a method for refining the physical body by using the power of Taiyin.

“Then let’s do a simulation now, but we can’t waste too much time on this!” Shi Ningyu said.

The Holy Sun Sect could launch an attack on the Ancient Desolate Sect at any time. If war breaks out again within the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect, they will definitely be affected.

They need to focus on improving their skills now and shouldn't waste too much time on these things.

"Let's give it a try first. If it's too difficult, let's give up for now and continue the simulation when we have more time later!"

Shi Ningyu nodded slightly, and then the two of them once again practiced the Yin-Yang Co-existence Yuanling Technique, a dual cultivation method, to jointly comprehend the possibility of using the power of Taiyin to temper the physical body.

Time passed slowly, and three months went by in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cheng'an had a fairly thorough understanding of the True Yang Body Refining Technique, and the power of the sun and the power of the moon were originally corresponding forces.

After three months of research, they successfully deduced the method of refining the power of Taiyin to temper the physical body.

However, this method has only been developed to the second level, which allows three Taiyin Moon Patterns to be condensed in the physical body.

The Moon Pattern is the power corresponding to the Sun Pattern.

Lu Cheng'an believed that these two forces could be fused together, and if the fusion was successful, his physical strength would increase dramatically.

However, both he and Shi Ningyu had relatively shallow knowledge and experience. It was already extremely difficult for them to deduce and refine the method of tempering their physical bodies with the power of Taiyin, let alone fuse these two powers.

Because this method of tempering the physical body requires refining the power of Taiyin, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu named the method they deduced the Taiyin Body Refining Technique.

This cultivation technique has only been deduced to the second level for now, but Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu do not intend to continue deducing it.

Lu Cheng'an spent more than a year cultivating the True Yang Body Refining Technique, from the beginning to the third level.

Shi Ningyu's progress in cultivating the Taiyin Body Refining Technique should be similar.

A year later, their understanding of the True Yang Body Refining Technique and the Taiyin Body Refining Technique will be deeper. At that time, if they were to deduce the Taiyin Body Refining Technique again, it should be easier for them to deduce this body refining technique to the third level.

Shi Ningyu did not leave the Lu family; instead, she entered the Lu family's Taiyin Peak to cultivate the Taiyin Body Refining Technique.

The Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array gathers the power of stars to enhance the array's strength. The two main peaks, the Sun Peak and the Moon Peak, absorb the power of the Sun and the Moon Peak.

Lu Cheng'an's cave dwelling was built in the Sun Peak, which made it easier for him to cultivate the True Yang Body Refining Technique.

Shi Ningyu wants to cultivate the Taiyin Body Refining Technique, which requires refining the power of Taiyin. The Taiyin Peak of the Lu family is undoubtedly the most suitable place for her to cultivate.

Lu Cheng'an did not give up on cultivating the True Yang Body Refining Technique. He would continue to cultivate the True Yang Body Refining Technique until the fifth golden sun pattern condensed in his physical body. Then he would refine the Soul Cleansing Flower and other spiritual objects that nourish the soul to enhance the power of the soul.

After Lu Cheng'an cultivated the True Yang Body Refining Technique to the third level, it became relatively easier for him to condense the fifth golden sun pattern in his physical body.

Even so, after spending half a year, he still failed to condense the fifth golden sun pattern in his physical body.

In the past six months, many things have happened within the territory of the Desolate Ancient Sect, and Lu Cheng'an had no choice but to stop cultivating the True Yang Body Refining Technique.

"Clan leader, you said the drought within the Ancient Desolate Sect is about to end? Is this news true?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

“I received messages from Cheng Yue, Ling Gu Sect, and Jin Yuan Sect. According to their messages, it has rained in the area near the Black Nether Wasteland, and the rain is continuing to spread deeper into the Desolate Ancient Sect.”

"If the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect were to secretly activate it, the rainfall would soon cover the entire territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect, and this drought that has lasted for many years would be completely relieved!"

After Lu Wenxing finished speaking, a deep look of worry appeared on his face: "The Sacred Heart Sect does not want to see the drought in the territory of the Desolate Ancient Sect be relieved. They are very likely to take action against the Desolate Ancient Sect during this period!"

Cheng Yue's message stated that the Sacred Heart Sect had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains. If the Sacred Heart Sect were to take action, the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains would also attack the Ancient Desolate Sect!

Our Lu family previously angered True Monarch Tianhuang, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul realm. This time, True Monarch Tianhuang will not personally attack our Lu family, but he will send his subordinate, True Man Yinshuang, to attack us.

True Person Silver Frost possesses the cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of her cultivation. She also commands a swarm of Black-Striped Heavenly Locusts raised by True Lord Heavenly Locust, many of whom have reached the third rank. Besides True Person Silver Frost sent by True Lord Heavenly Locust, there's also a high probability that the Ape Torrent and Azure Flame Lion from the Hong'e Mountains will attack our Lu family!

Both Yuan Hong and Qingyan Fire Lion, two third-tier demonic beasts, had suffered losses at the hands of the Lu family. Qingyan Fire Lion, in particular, fled back to Hong'e Mountain Range from the Burning Flame Mountain Range like a stray dog.

Yuan Hong was in slightly better condition than Qingyan Huoshi, but he was still severely injured by the talisman left by Kushi Zhenjun, who was then at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

After that, he almost didn't stay in the territory of the Ancient Desolate Sect forever!
Now, True Monarch Kushi's cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, further widening the gap between him and Yuan Hong.

Even though Yuan Hong's cultivation has now broken through to the Golden Core Perfection realm, he is still no match for Ku Shi Zhenjun.

Now he can only vent his hatred for Ku Shi Zhenjun on the Lu family.

These messages were obtained by Lu Chengyue from cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect, and they are very likely true.

Although the Lu family is currently very powerful, the demonic beasts that may attack the Lu family next, such as Silver Frost True Man, Ape Hong, and Azure Flame Fire Lion, are also extremely powerful.

This made Lu Wenxing extremely worried.

"Clan leader, there's no need to worry too much. If those cultivators and demonic beasts you mentioned dare to attack our Lu family, they will definitely regret it!" Lu Cheng'an said confidently.

All his previous preparations were for dealing with the Nascent Soul cultivator, True Lord Heavenly Locust.

However, it is clear that the Nascent Soul cultivator, Heavenly Locust True Monarch, does not take the Lu family seriously, and therefore only sent his subordinate, Silver Frost True Man, to attack the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an was unsure of Yinshuang Zhenren's exact strength, but he was certain that Yinshuang Zhenren could not possibly withstand the attack of Yinming Shattering Soul Needle.

Of course, Lu Cheng'an felt that fighting against Yinshuang Zhenren was not worth using the Yinming Shattering Soul Needle, a top-grade third-tier soul attack artifact.

After all, this is a one-time consumable magic weapon. After using this magic weapon to attack, the Yinming Soul-Shattering Needle is very likely to be broken.

The power of Yinshuang Zhenren's soul should not be too strong. He should be able to severely damage Yinshuang Zhenren's soul by using the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique.

"However, we cannot let our guard down. We will have the cultivators in our clan on high alert and keep a close watch on the situation within our territory. Later, I will also send a message to the cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect and the Jin Yuan Sect, asking them to keep an eye on the situation of True Person Silver Frost and the demonic beasts like Ape Hong!"

"The clan leader also sent a message to Cheng Yue, asking her to continue investigating the situation of the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains. If there is any new information, she should immediately inform the clan!" Lu Cheng'an said.

After making arrangements with Lu Wenxing, Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave.

After sending messages to the cultivators of the Spirit Gu Sect and the Golden Origin Sect, he returned to his cultivation.

However, this time he did not continue to cultivate the True Yang Body Refining Technique, but instead began to refine the power of the Soul Cleansing Flower and other spiritual objects that nourish the soul to strengthen the soul.

Although he has not yet condensed the fifth golden sun pattern in his physical body, his physical strength has been greatly improved, and he can now bear a more powerful divine soul.

After Lu Cheng'an went into seclusion, Lu Wenxing also sent a message to Lu Chengyue as Lu Cheng'an had instructed, asking him to continue to pay attention to the situation of the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

Afterwards, Lu Wenxing ordered the cultivators in the clan to intensify their patrols, and at the same time, he moved more ordinary members of the Lu family into the Lu family's mountain gate.

The situation inside the Lu Family Mountain Gate has undergone tremendous changes, and there are now nearly a hundred spiritual peaks within the gate.

These sacred peaks are arranged in order of the nine main sacred peaks, including the Sun and Moon, covering a vast area.

Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping made some modifications to the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array. If this array is activated, it can cover the entire Lu family's mountain gate.

The Lu family has a limited number of cultivators, so they naturally cannot occupy such a large mountain gate.

Therefore, Lu Wenxing ordered that the Lu family mortals who originally lived outside the mountain gate be moved into the mountain gate.

The spiritual energy inside the Lu Family Mountain Gate is abundant, and the living environment is much better than outside.

Ordinary people who live in such an environment for a long time will have their lifespan increased as their bodies are constantly nourished by spiritual energy.

Over a million ordinary members of the Lu family have already entered the Lu family's mountain gate.

This number was almost at the limit that the Lu family's mountain gate could accommodate mortals, but because of the Silver Frost Immortal and the demon beasts like Ape Hong, Lu Wenxing decided to bring more mortals into the mountain gate.

The Lu family is still extremely powerful. They may not be a match for Yinshuang Zhenren and Yuan Hong and other demonic beasts.

However, it was simply impossible for them to break through the defenses of the Lu family's mountain gate and enter the Lu family's mountain gate.

After Lu Wenxing gave the order, the Lu family cultivators immediately sprang into action.

At this time, Lu Chengping, who was still at the Linggu Sect, also learned about the situation of the Lu family. After telling Liu Miaozhen, he left the Linggu Sect alone and returned to the Lu family.

The He sisters originally wanted to leave with Lu Chengping, but Lu Chengping didn't know what would happen to the Lu family next, so he didn't want to take the He sisters with him into danger.

He chose to return to the Lu family at this time not only because he considered himself a cultivator of the Lu family, but also for another very important reason: the Lu family's protective mountain formation was set up by him and Lu Jingkun.

If the Lu family were to encounter a formidable enemy, he and Lu Jingkun would need to jointly activate the power of the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array to maximize its effectiveness.

The He sisters listened to Lu Chengping, so in the end they stayed at the Linggu Sect, while only Lu Chengping returned to the Lu family.

Not long after Lu Chengping returned to the Lu family, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect and the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect clashed in their first battle.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sacred Heart Sect mainly wanted to stop the cumulonimbus clouds from Yuanzhou from spreading further within the territory of the Desolate Ancient Sect, because the Sacred Heart Sect did not want the drought within the Desolate Ancient Sect to be alleviated.

These cumulonimbus clouds were brought back to the Ancient Desolate Sect from Yuanzhou by Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ancient Desolate Sect and Yuanzhou with great effort, so the Ancient Desolate Sect naturally would not allow Nascent Soul cultivators from the Sacred Heart Sect to destroy them.

The Sacred Heart Sect is far stronger than the Ancient Desolate Sect, but the Sacred Heart Sect can only mobilize a limited number of Nascent Soul cultivators this time. (End of Chapter)
