Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The Nascent Soul cultivators in Hezhou's cultivation world didn't directly ask Lu Cheng'an for help in refining or repairing fourth-order magic weapons, but they took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

The four low-to-mid-grade fourth-tier magic artifacts that Lu Cheng'an took out were quickly traded away.

With these four low-grade fourth-tier magic artifacts, he successfully exchanged them for the Earth Flame Purple Golden Bell, his natal magic treasure, and various materials needed for cultivating supernatural powers.

After the trade fair ended, Lu Cheng'an and the others did not leave the Heavenly Sword Sect directly, but instead began to discuss the situation of the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts in the Hong'e Mountains.

"We have confirmed information that the Butterfly Demon King has entered the Vast Sea Desert, and the Holy Heart Ancestor has also entered the Vast Sea Desert. When they both emerge from the Vast Sea Desert at the same time, they will definitely attack us directly!"

The Heavenly Sword Sect's Ten Thousand Swords True Monarch looked coldly at Lu Cheng'an and the other Nascent Soul cultivators, and said in a deep voice: "You should be very clear about the strength of the Holy Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Transformation Demon King. If the two of them join forces, our situation will definitely be extremely dangerous."

"When the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains truly join forces to attack us, I urge all fellow cultivators to work together to resist their attack!"

Because of the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, the cultivation forces in Qingzhou and Hezhou had no choice but to unite.

There were old grudges between these Nascent Soul sects.

The reason why True Monarch Wanjian said this is that he hopes the cultivators of Qingzhou and Hezhou will work together to avoid further internal strife.

After all, their strength was already somewhat inferior to that of the demonic beasts of the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains. If internal strife broke out, they would be even less able to withstand the attacks of the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains.

Currently, both the Sacred Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Transformation Demon King are still in the Vast Sea Desert, and the high-level cultivators of the Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect are also still staying in their sects. Therefore, True Monarch Wan Jian only briefly mentioned the situation of the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains, without making detailed plans on how to deal with the attacks from the demonic beasts of the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains.

These matters need to be discussed by the sect leaders of the Ancient Desolate Sect and other Nascent Soul sects. At that time, the cultivators from Qingzhou and Hezhou will be gathered together.

After the trade fair ended, Lu Cheng'an and the other Nascent Soul cultivators left the Heavenly Sword Sect.

At this trade fair, Lu Cheng'an and the other Nascent Soul cultivators acquired quite a few items. Next, they need to quickly use up their acquired goods and improve their strength as much as possible.

However, before Lu Cheng'an could leave the welcoming peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was stopped by a young man dressed in a fiery red robe.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please wait a moment!"

“Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, a fourth-tier weapon refiner from the Heavenly Sword Sect. The reason he stopped you at this time is probably related to the fact that you are a fourth-tier weapon refiner.”

Upon hearing the voice of the Hundred Artifacts True Lord, Ku Shi Zhenjun, who was standing next to Lu Cheng'an, immediately gave Lu Cheng'an a brief introduction.

"I'm so sorry to have stopped Fellow Daoist Lu at this time!"

After giving Lu Cheng'an a slightly apologetic smile, Baiqi Zhenjun immediately said, "I just heard that Fellow Daoist Lu is a fourth-level weapon refiner. There are too few high-level weapon refiners in Qingzhou and Hezhou. I don't even have a channel to communicate with them."

Therefore, after learning that Fellow Daoist Lu was a fourth-tier weapon refiner, I couldn't resist wanting to exchange weapon refining experiences with him.

The Hundred Weapons True Lord did not harbor any ill intentions; that was indeed his purpose.

Although the Hundred Weapons True Monarch looks very young, he is not young at all, and he has been a fourth-grade low-level weapon refiner for a long time.

Due to his lack of talent, he is still only a fourth-grade low-level weapon refiner.

He stopped Lu Cheng'an at this moment because he wanted to exchange weapon-refining experiences with Lu Cheng'an, hoping to inspire him and enable him to become a mid-grade fourth-tier weapon refiner.

Lu Cheng'an looked at Baiqi Zhenjun with some surprise. He had not expected that Baiqi Zhenjun would have such a purpose.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Monarch Hanli, who had not gone far, also stopped and turned their gazes to Lu Cheng'an.

Hanli Zhenjun and Jingge Zhenjun, two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ziyang Sect, harbored ill intentions. They hoped that Lu Cheng'an was not a true fourth-order weapon refiner, so that Baiqi Zhenjun could expose Lu Cheng'an's true colors.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao became a fourth-tier weapon refiner much earlier than me. It is my honor to be able to exchange weapon refining experiences with Fellow Daoist Zhao!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The Hundred Weapons True Monarch comes from the Heavenly Sword Sect, so his mastery of weapon crafting must be extraordinary. Moreover, as Lu Cheng'an said, he became a fourth-tier weapon crafter much earlier than Lu Cheng'an, so his weapon crafting skills must also be excellent.

Lu Cheng'an will surely benefit greatly from exchanging weapon-refining techniques with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch.

After Lu Cheng'an agreed, he returned to the Welcoming Peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch to exchange experiences in weapon crafting.

True Monarch Tianhuo and True Monarch Kushi wanted to stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect and leave with Lu Cheng'an.

However, they were still carrying items they had traded at the trade fair, and these items needed to be sent back to their respective sects as soon as possible, so they had to go back to their respective sects first.

The Heavenly Sword Sect is located on Welcoming Guest Peak.

The Hundred Weapons True Lord did not hold back. He first explained his art of weapon crafting to Lu Cheng'an, and then shared some of his doubts about the art.

Lu Cheng'an listened attentively from the side, occasionally offering his own insights.

Lu Cheng'an's skill in weapon crafting is quite high. His insights often elicit positive feedback from the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, which further improves the Hundred Weapons True Monarch's attitude towards him.

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

At this point, Lu Cheng'an and Baiqi Zhenjun stopped their conversation.

"Fellow Daoist Lu has been of immense help to me over the past month or so, surpassing my previous hundreds of years of painstaking research. I believe I will soon be able to refine a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon on my own!" True Monarch Baiqi laughed heartily.

The crafting difficulty of a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon is much higher than that of a low-grade fourth-order magic weapon. However, even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage can still craft a magic weapon of this grade.

The crafting difficulty of a fourth-grade high-quality magic weapon is much higher than that of a fourth-grade low-quality magic weapon. This process requires more mana and nascent soul power, which is difficult for cultivators in the early stages of the nascent soul stage to withstand.

Of course, this excludes early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Lu Cheng'an. Lu Cheng'an's magical power and Nascent Soul power far exceed those of early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and he is now capable of refining fourth-grade high-quality magic weapons.

However, his weapon-refining skills have not yet reached that level. Currently, he can only refine mid-grade fourth-order magic weapons, and he cannot refine high-grade fourth-order magic weapons.

The reason Lu Cheng'an stayed at the Heavenly Sword Sect for more than a month was that after his initial verbal exchange with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, they worked together to refine a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon.

The two were able to better exchange their crafting experience when they were working together. This time, their collaboration went quite well, and they successfully crafted the mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you're too kind. I've learned a lot from you!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly and said, "I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Zhao in advance on his progress in weapon crafting and becoming a mid-grade fourth-order weapon crafter!" Afterwards, Lu Cheng'an bid farewell to True Monarch Hundred Weapons. Unlike True Monarch Hundred Weapons, he could not spend all his time on weapon crafting.

When Baiqi Zhenjun heard that Lu Cheng'an was in such a hurry to leave, he felt quite regretful. However, he also knew that Lu Cheng'an was not as carefree as he was, so he did not try to persuade him to stay.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an left the Heavenly Sword Sect and sped off towards Qingzhou.

While Lu Cheng'an and the Hundred Weapons True Monarch were exchanging weapon-refining techniques, the cultivators from the Ziyang Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley were also inquiring about Lu Cheng'an's situation from the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

They wanted to know if Lu Cheng'an was truly a fourth-tier weapon refiner!

The answer they received was affirmative; Lu Cheng'an and the Hundred Weapons True Monarch had a very pleasant conversation, which proved that Lu Cheng'an was indeed a fourth-order weapon refiner.

This made the Ziyang Sect temporarily abandon its plan to deal with Lu Cheng'an, since the number of fourth-tier weapon refiners in Qingzhou and Hezhou was too small.

If their Ziyang Sect were to secretly attack Lu Cheng'an, the three Nascent Soul sects of Qingzhou would likely not let it go.

Because Lu Cheng'an comes from the cultivation world of Qingzhou, he is currently the only fourth-level weapon refiner in the cultivation world of Qingzhou.

Lu Cheng'an was unaware of what the Ziyang Sect had done. He was extremely careful when he returned to Qingzhou alone through the Ziyang Sect.

On that day at the Welcoming Peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he sensed the deep hostility of the Purple Sun Sect. He worried that he would be attacked by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Purple Sun Sect when he crossed the territory of the Purple Sun Sect alone.

Lu Cheng'an moved extremely fast, smoothly passing through the Ziyang Sect and quickly entering the territory of the Haoyang Sect in Qingzhou.

At this moment, he sent a message to True Lord Tianhuo, telling him that he could now repair the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror.

During the month or so that Lu Cheng'an had been exchanging ideas with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, his weapon-refining skills had greatly improved, and he was now able to refine mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapons or treasures.

Moreover, he has spent the past month or so studying the crafting method of the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror, and now he is 70-80% confident that he can restore the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror to its original state.

"Has Fellow Daoist Lu had a smooth stay at the Heavenly Sword Sect? Have you encountered any problems?" Upon seeing Lu Cheng'an, True Monarch Tianhuo immediately broke into a big smile and inquired about Lu Cheng'an's situation at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“I’ve been doing very well at the Heavenly Sword Sect lately. The weapon-refining skills of True Monarch Baiqi are very high. After exchanging ideas with him, I have also gained a lot. Now I am about 70 or 80 percent confident that I can help Fellow Daoist Yu repair the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave the rest to Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Upon hearing Lu Cheng'an's reply, the smile on Tianhuo Zhenjun's face grew even wider.

"I wonder what reward Fellow Daoist Lu would like to receive for helping me repair the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror?" True Monarch Heavenly Fire inquired.

Previously, Qingzhou and Hezhou only had one fourth-tier weapon refiner, the Hundred Weapons True Monarch. Due to his rarity, he was highly valued, and they had to pay him extremely high fees to have him refine or repair magical artifacts.

Lu Cheng'an's status is somewhat different from that of the Hundred Weapons True Lord, but the Heavenly Fire True Lord has also made the plan to pay a huge reward.

"I need a mid-grade fourth-tier spirit fire!" Lu Cheng'an said.

A mid-grade fourth-tier spirit fire is a relatively precious material, as it can enhance the power of the True Fire Spirit-Binding Technique.

Haoyang Sect possesses a high-grade fourth-order fire vein, so obtaining a mid-grade fourth-order spiritual fire is not a difficult task.

Previously, when Lu Cheng'an was communicating with Baiqi Zhenjun, he specifically mentioned the price that other Nascent Soul cultivators had to pay when they found a way to refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures.

Lu Cheng'an's demand for the repair of the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror was slightly lower than that of the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, after all, his status in Qingzhou and Hezhou was not as high as that of the Hundred Weapons True Monarch.

“That’s easy. I’ll fetch the spiritual fire that Fellow Daoist Lu needs shortly!” True Monarch Heavenly Fire agreed without hesitation.

He was very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he retrieved the fourth-grade mid-level spiritual fire that Lu Cheng'an needed and handed it to Lu Cheng'an.

After accepting the mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual fire, Lu Cheng'an began to repair the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror, a magical artifact, for True Monarch Heavenly Fire.

The Burning Flow Treasure Mirror is of the fourth-tier high-grade quality, and it is also quite damaged.

However, repairing a magical artifact is not the same as crafting one, so it doesn't take long.

After spending more than half a month, Lu Cheng'an restored the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror to its original state.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I feel that the power of the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror seems to have increased. How did you do that?"

After inspecting Lu Cheng'an's perfectly restored Burning Flow Treasure Mirror, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Tianhuo Zhenjun's face.

He had initially worried that Lu Cheng'an wouldn't be able to fully restore the power of the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror, but now it has far exceeded his expectations.

"Some of the runes on this magical artifact were faulty during its forging. I modified those runes during the repair process, which is why the power of the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror has been enhanced!"

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he took the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror back into his hand. After casting a spell, a layer of fine flames appeared inside the Burning Flow Treasure Mirror.

The flames completely enveloped the runes on the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror, forming a solid defense.

"I have refined a portion of Earth Flame Essence into the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror. If the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror encounters an irresistible attack, the power of this Earth Flame Essence can provide defense for the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror!"

"However, my current weapon-refining skills are limited, so this Earth Flame Marrow can only provide one defense," Lu Cheng'an said with some helplessness.

"That's enough. I'm truly grateful to Fellow Daoist Lu this time!" True Monarch Tianhuo said with a broad smile.

"I'm glad Fellow Daoist Yu is satisfied!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at True Monarch Tianhuo and said with a smile, "I have already helped Fellow Daoist Yu repair the Burning Stream Treasure Mirror, so I will not stay in your sect any longer. I also have many things to take care of now!"

True Lord Tianhuo did not try to stop him. He knew that Lu Chengan's main purpose in attending the trade fair was to collect materials for refining his natal magic weapon and cultivating his natal divine power.

Lu Cheng'an has already been delayed for two days because of him and the Hundred Weapons True Lord.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu encounters any problems after returning, please feel free to send me a message. I will certainly not refuse to help if I can!" True Monarch Tianhuo said very earnestly. (End of this chapter)
