Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Furthermore, Lu Cheng'an also made demands on Lu Chengyao and other family beast tamers, instructing them to focus on cultivating demonic beasts with good talent.

However, the Lu family has not been raising demonic beasts for very long. Even though Lu Chengyao and other beast tamers have done as Lu Chengan said, many of the demonic beasts they have carefully raised are still at the first level of cultivation.

After learning about the situation of Lu Chengyao and other beast tamers of the Lu family, as well as the demonic beasts such as Queyun, Lu Cheng'an returned directly to the Lu family.

Lu Cheng'an's return to the Lu family did not alarm many cultivators; he only informed a few important people, including Lu Wenxing.

After returning to his family, Lu Cheng'an went directly into Shi Ningyu's cave.

Shi Ningyu has been diligently cultivating over the years, and her talent is even better than Lu Cheng'an's. However, unlike Lu Cheng'an, she doesn't have any special advantages.

Previously, she was able to maintain the same cultivation progress as Lu Cheng'an, but this time she was slightly slower than him.

Shi Ningyu's cultivation level is currently at the late Golden Core stage.

Lu Cheng'an's main purpose in returning to his family this time was to cultivate the Yin-Yang Co-cultivation Yuanling Technique with Shi Ningyu, and to use the power of dual cultivation to help Shi Ningyu break through to the Golden Core Perfection realm.

"Brother An, how exactly do you cultivate? I've been working incredibly hard, but my cultivation progress is still lagging behind yours!"

Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, Shi Ningyu's face lit up with joy. She muttered softly, wondering how Lu Cheng'an had managed to improve his cultivation so quickly.

"Because the underground magma river in the Burning Flame Mountains is extremely suitable for my cultivation, in the Five Spirits Lake where I am located..."

Lu Cheng'an told Shi Ningyu about the situation at Wuling Lake with a smile, but he did not tell her about the magic he possessed.

This is his biggest secret, and he will never reveal it to even the closest people.

"I never imagined that the underground magma river of the Burning Flame Mountains would give birth to so many spiritual veins and earth veins!"

Shi Ningyu exclaimed in surprise, then frowned and said, "The Five Spirits Lake was originally the site of the Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate. The Burning Flame Sect's ruins have been around for a long time. Now, several spiritual veins and fire veins have been nurtured there. In the future, it will probably nurture fourth-order spiritual veins and fire veins as well."

“Very likely!” Lu Chengan agreed with a smile.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu finished their conversation and went into the bedroom together to begin practicing the Yin-Yang Harmony Yuanling Technique.

For the past fifteen years, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu have never met, let alone communicated.

The benefits gained from practicing the Yin-Yang Co-cultivation Yuanling Technique, a secret dual cultivation method, together and exchanging cultivation insights are immense.

In particular, Shi Ningyu sensed Lu Cheng'an's breakthrough to the Golden Core Perfection realm through dual cultivation, which greatly shortened the time it would take for her to break through to the Golden Core Perfection realm as well.

In addition, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu also took advantage of this dual cultivation to comprehend the True Yang Body Refining Technique once again, and used it to deduce the Taiyin Body Refining Technique.

Shi Ningyu had been cultivating the Taiyin Body Refining Technique that she and Lu Cheng'an had deduced, and had cultivated this body refining technique to the perfection of the second level.

They hadn't been able to deduce the third level of body-refining techniques corresponding to the Golden Core realm at the time. After Shi Ningyu had cultivated the Taiyin Body Refining Technique to the second level of perfection, she also tried to deduce the third level of techniques, but she had never succeeded.

Lu Cheng'an has cultivated the True Yang Body Refining Technique to the perfection of the third level, and his understanding of this body refining technique is much deeper than before.

This time, it became much easier to deduce the cultivation method of the third level of the Taiyin Body Refining Technique by cultivating together with Shi Ningyu.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu's dual cultivation lasted for nearly half a year, and their gains were enormous.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation, which had just broken through to the Golden Core Perfection realm, was not only completely consolidated, but also significantly improved.

Shi Ningyu's gains were even greater. She had already sensed the barrier to the Golden Core Perfection realm. As long as she focused on cultivation for a while longer, she would be able to break through to the Golden Core Perfection realm.

They also successfully deduced the Taiyin Body Refining Technique, although it was only the third level corresponding to the Golden Core realm.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu finished their dual cultivation, Shi Ningyu continued her secluded cultivation in the cave, preparing to break through to the Golden Core Perfection realm.

Lu Cheng'an did not leave the Lu family directly, but went to Lu Wenxing's cave to inquire about the current situation of the Lu family.

Fifteen years is not a long time for cultivation, but it can still change many things.

Previously, Lu Cheng'an was cultivating in the Five Spirits Lake. He only learned about the situation of evil cultivators such as True Lord Tianhuang through communication with his family, and did not pay much attention to the situation within the Lu family.

"Cheng'an, what is your cultivation level?" Lu Wenxing's face lit up with excitement after sensing the change in Lu Cheng'an's aura.

Lu Wenxing's cultivation level is currently at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. The gap between his cultivation level and Lu Cheng'an's is too great. He can only sense the changes in Lu Cheng'an's cultivation aura, but he cannot see Lu Cheng'an's true cultivation level.

However, he guessed that Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had already broken through to the Golden Core Perfection realm!
This conjecture greatly excited Lu Wenxing. Lu Cheng'an was not even two hundred years old yet, and his cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Perfection realm. The probability of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future would be extremely high.

By then, the Lu family will be a Nascent Soul power, and they won't have to live in constant fear when facing such situations again.

"The clan leader guessed correctly, my cultivation has indeed broken through to the Golden Core Perfection Realm!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He had only sent a message saying he would return to the family, without mentioning his cultivation level, which is why Lu Wenxing was so surprised.

"I have been cultivating in the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains for the past few years, and I am not very familiar with the current situation of the clan. Please tell me in detail, clan leader!"

After hearing Lu Cheng'an's question, Lu Wenxing gradually suppressed his excitement and began to tell Lu Cheng'an about the Lu family's situation over the years.

Although the Lu family has faced threats from evil cultivators such as the Heavenly Locust True Monarch in recent years, its development has been quite good, because the Lu family did not suffer any losses in the previous attacks by evil cultivators.

There was no change in the number of Golden Core cultivators in the Lu family, but the number of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators increased significantly, and some promising talents emerged.

Lu Wenxing specifically mentioned Lu Ruiying and Lu Yongming, whose cultivation talents were exceptionally high, comparable to Lu Jingkun.

Lu Ruiying chose to cultivate the same Earthly Jade Book as Lu Jingkun, while Lu Yongming cultivated the Earthly Flame True Scripture that Lu Cheng'an had cultivated.

Both of these cultivation techniques are at the fifth rank, making them the only two fifth-rank cultivation techniques in the Lu family.

The magical power cultivated using the Earthly Jade Book and the Earthly Flame True Scripture will be more refined, and these two cultivation techniques will also greatly increase the speed of a cultivator's advancement. Lu Ruiying and Lu Yongming are not much different in age, and they became Qi Refining cultivators two years apart.

Lu Ruiying's cultivation level is currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and she is about to become a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Lu Yongming's cultivation level is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he will soon break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

A considerable amount of time has passed since the Lu family obtained the Earthly Jade Book and the Earthly Flame True Scripture. Of the many new cultivators in the family, only a handful have successfully cultivated both.

Judging from the talents that Lu Ruiying and Lu Yongming have shown so far, they are likely to develop in the same direction as Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengan in the future.

Over the years, the cultivators of Dan Ding Sect and Jin Yuan Sect have not left the Lu family's mountain gate, after all, they have now confirmed that True Monarch Tianhuang is hiding in the Yunling Mountains.

Although True Lord Tianhuang remained extremely calm and did not attack them, they believed that True Lord Tianhuang would not let them go and might emerge from the Yunling Mountains at any time.

They only have a certain degree of safety if they stay in the Lu family. If they leave the Lu family and Heavenly Locust True Monarch attacks them, they will have no chance of survival.

The cultivation levels of the Dan Ding Sect and Jin Yuan Sect cultivators are also steadily improving, but no new cultivators at the Golden Core realm have emerged.

After telling Lu Cheng'an about the clan's affairs in detail, Lu Wenxing's face showed a hint of excitement. He said in a deep voice, "Some time ago, Cheng Yue sent a message saying that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect intend to hold a sermon."

This lecture by Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect will discuss the mysteries of the four realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul, in the hope that more high-level cultivators will emerge within the Ancient Desolate Sect!

It's a pity we're trapped within our clan and can't personally go to the Ancient Desolate Sect to listen to the Nascent Soul cultivators preach. However, Cheng Yue will use a recording artifact to record the preaching process, so if there's an opportunity, we can still listen to the Nascent Soul cultivators preach!

The Lu family's foundation is very shallow. The reason they are able to cultivate so many Golden Core cultivators is mainly because they have obtained the inheritance of the Burning Flame Sect, which has made up for the shortcomings in the inheritance of cultivation techniques.

However, the knowledge recorded in ancient books is certainly not as good as that taught by a living person. This time, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ancient Desolate Sect is expounding the Dao, explaining the mysteries of the four realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. If one can listen to the whole process, one will surely gain great benefits.

In particular, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation has now broken through to the Golden Core Perfection Realm, and the next step is to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

If one could hear a Nascent Soul cultivator explain the mysteries of the Nascent Soul realm, it would surely be of great benefit.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ancient Desolate Sect is giving a sermon!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. Ten years ago, he would have considered going to the Desolate Ancient Sect, but now he no longer had that idea.

Since more than a decade has passed, it is very likely that the injuries on Tianhuang Zhenjun's body have recovered.

He could strike against the Lu family at any time now.

If he had left the clan just in time for Heavenly Locust True Monarch to make his move, the cultivators in the clan would have had a hard time withstanding Heavenly Locust True Monarch's attack.

"The clan leader should have Cheng Yue carefully record the process of this Nascent Soul sermon!" Lu Cheng'an sighed softly.

"Don't worry about that, I've already spoken with Cheng Yue!"

Lu Wenxing smiled slightly and said, "News has also come from the Linggu Sect. Sect Master Liu will lead the sect's cultivators to the Desolate Ancient Sect to listen to the Dao. Jing Kun and the Linggu Sect's communication artifacts can transmit audio and video. We might be able to see the entire process of the Nascent Soul's sermon through the communication artifact in Jing Kun's hand."

However, they are currently unsure whether the Ancient Desolate Sect would permit this.

"Have Jingkun maintain close contact with the Spirit Gu Sect. If they could witness the entire process of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ancient Desolate Sect giving a sermon through a communication artifact, that would be ideal!"

A smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

However, after a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and a solemn expression appeared: "The commotion caused by the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Desolate Ancient Sect giving a sermon is quite significant. I'm afraid that True Monarch Tianhuang, who is hiding in the Cloud Ridge Mountains, has already learned about it. I'm worried that True Monarch Tianhuang will take action against the family during this time!"

Even though the Lu family knows that the Desolate Ancient Sect is currently unable to take action against True Monarch Heavenly Locust, True Monarch Heavenly Locust is unaware of this, and he is certainly extremely wary of the Desolate Ancient Sect.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Desolate Ancient Sect certainly wouldn't have time to attack him during their sermons, making this undoubtedly the best opportunity to strike against the Lu family.

"Has the time for the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ancient Desolate Sect to give lectures been set? During that time, we must make sure that the cultivators in the clan are on high alert to prevent attacks from True Monarch Heavenly Locust," Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

"We've tentatively set it for two years from now, but I don't know if that timeframe will change," Lu Wenxing said with a worried expression.

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly. After learning about the family's recent situation from Lu Wenxing, he parted ways with Lu Wenxing and went to his uncle's cave.

Lu Wenhua's cultivation has only recently broken through to the Golden Core realm, and his talent for cultivation is not particularly outstanding. Currently, his cultivation is still at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Because the Lu family's power has now been entirely concentrated within the mountain gate, the amount of general affairs has been greatly reduced, which has allowed Lu Wenhua to devote the time that was originally spent on family affairs to cultivation.

Although his cultivation level has improved slowly over the years, it has been steadily increasing, and his overall condition is very good.

After meeting his uncle, Lu Cheng'an did not stay in the family any longer, but returned to the underground lava river of the Burning Flame Mountains.

Lu Cheng'an's absence was not particularly long. When he left, he also placed a seal on the Fire Element Secret Realm. After returning this time, the Fire Element Secret Realm was not dragged away by the fire demons within it and remained in the Five Spirits Lake.

After inspecting the secret realm, he returned to his cave dwelling in the spiritual vein and began to cultivate diligently.

He has only broken through to the Golden Core Perfection realm, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the peak of the Golden Core Perfection realm and breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Fortunately, the Yin Moon Soul Fungus in the Nether River still has several decades to develop, which is enough time for him to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Core Perfection realm.

Time passed slowly, and two years went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an received a message from Lu Wenxing that the time for the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Desolate Ancient Sect to give a lecture had been finalized and was set for one month later.

After seeing Lu Wenxing's message, Lu Cheng'an immediately left the Burning Flame Mountains and rushed back to his family.

The lecture by the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ancient Desolate Sect was extremely important to Lu Cheng'an; he didn't want to miss it, and he was also worried that True Monarch Heavenly Locust might attack their Lu family during this time. (End of Chapter)
