Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Cheng'an patted Hei Yang on the shoulder. He didn't give Hei Yang a chance to refuse. After handing over the things to Hei Yang, he left directly.

He wasn't lying; he did indeed trust Hei Yang quite a bit.

Of course, there is another very important point, which is that Hei Yang's cultivation level is still relatively low.

Even if Hei Yang's cultivation level breaks through in the future, it will not pose any threat to him.

Lu Cheng'an left Huaiyin City directly. The ghostly aura in Huaiyin City was too strong, and the environment made Lu Cheng'an feel extremely uncomfortable.

After Lu Cheng'an left, Hei Yang carefully put away the treasures that Lu Cheng'an had given him.

He had already made up his mind that he would use these treasures to cultivate diligently and then repay Lu Cheng'an's kindness.

After returning to their respective places, the ghost king and the other ghosts, as Lu Cheng'an had instructed, devoted themselves to cultivation using the treasures he had given them.

The cultivation levels of Yinzhu Ghost King and Panshi Ghost King had been suppressed for a long time. Now that they had received treasures from Lu Cheng'an, it would be much easier for them to break through.

The Rock Ghost King took two months to break through from the early stage of the fourth rank to the middle stage, while the Yin Bamboo Ghost King took three and a half months to break through from the middle stage of the fourth rank to the late stage.

During their time of dedicated cultivation, the news of the slaying of the Ghost King of Huaiyin also became known to the ghosts of the Tianyin Mountains.

The Jade Spider Ghost King was quite cautious. Although she was certain that the Huaiyin Ghost King was dead, she did not immediately launch an attack on Huaiyin City.

Because she couldn't find out who killed the Ghost King of Huaiyin.

The Jade Spider Ghost King was well aware of his own strength, considering it to be roughly equal to that of the Huaiyin Ghost King.

If that unknown, mysterious cultivator was able to kill the Ghost King of Huaiyin, then he must also have the ability to kill her.

Therefore, she will absolutely not take action against Huaiyin City until she has found out who killed the Ghost King of Huaiyin.

After Yinzhu Ghost King's cultivation broke through to the late stage of the fourth rank, Lu Cheng'an had Chenhe Ghost King spread the news that he had left Huaiyin City and that Yinzhu Ghost King's cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank, in order to tempt Yuzhu Ghost King to attack Huaiyin City.

If he really leaves at this time, then this is the best time for the Jade Spider Ghost King to make his move.

If the delay is too long, it will give the Yin Bamboo Ghost King more opportunities to increase his strength.

Even if Lu Cheng'an leaves Huaiyin City, it will become extremely difficult for the Jade Spider Ghost King to break through Huaiyin City again.

After discovering that Lu Cheng'an had left, the Jade Spider Ghost King remained extremely cautious and did not directly attack Huaiyin City. Instead, he continued to investigate the situation in Huaiyin City.

Two more months passed before the Jade Spider Ghost King finally confirmed that the murderer who killed the Huaiyin Ghost King had indeed left.

Without further hesitation, she led the ghosts of the Tianyin Mountains to attack Huaiyin City.

Even without Lu Cheng'an, Huaiyin City's strength remains formidable.

The Yinzhu Ghost King's cultivation has broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank, while the Ghost Wood, Rock, and Dust River Ghost Kings are all at the mid stage of the fourth rank. In addition, there are three other ghosts at the early stage of the fourth rank, such as Heiyang.

Apart from the fact that the Yinzhu Ghost King is slightly weaker than the Yuzhu Ghost King, Huaiyin City is stronger than Tianyin Mountain Range in terms of combat power in the mid-stage and early-stage of the fourth rank.

The Jade Spider Ghost King was extremely fast. After she led the ghosts of the Tianyin Mountains to appear near Huaiyin City, Lu Cheng'an ordered the Yinzhu Ghost King to lead the ghosts of Huaiyin City to fight her.

Lu Cheng'an did not take the initiative to come forward, but observed from the shadows.

Yinzhu Ghost King's cultivation has just broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank, and there is still a considerable gap between his strength and that of Yuzhu Ghost King.

He was quickly outmatched by the Jade Spider Ghost King and had no ability to fight back.

After figuring out the strength of the Jade Spider Ghost King, Lu Cheng'an secretly assisted the Yin Bamboo Ghost King by using the Quiet Ancient Seal.

Yinzhu Ghost King quickly seized the opportunity and severely injured Yuzhu Ghost King.

Jade Spider Ghost King did not sense the cultivator behind her attacking, but she was certain that someone had secretly used some method against her, otherwise she would never have been so severely injured by Yin Bamboo Ghost King, who had just broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank.

As for the cultivator who secretly attacked her, the Jade Spider Ghost King quickly guessed the answer: it must be the cultivator who killed the Huaiyin Ghost King.

This conjecture chilled the Jade Spider Ghost King to the bone, so she quickly made a decision and immediately led the ghosts of the Tianyin Mountains to retreat from Huaiyin City.

Lu Cheng'an did not allow the Yinzhu Ghost King and other ghosts to pursue him. His purpose in luring the Jade Spider Ghost King to make a move was mainly to instill fear in the Jade Spider Ghost King of Huaiyin City, so that it would not launch an attack on Huaiyin City at will, not to really kill the Jade Spider Ghost King.

After all, he couldn't stay in the Netherworld for long; he needed to leave behind something that could restrain the Yin Bamboo Ghost King.

After the Jade Spider Ghost King led the ghosts of the Tianyin Mountains away, Lu Cheng'an did not appear in front of the Yin Bamboo Ghost King and other ghosts. He directly took Hei Yang and left Huaiyin City, preparing to leave the Netherworld.

Before leaving, Lu Cheng'an had instructed the Yin Zhu Ghost King and other ghosts to search for the Yin Yue Soul Mushroom, a treasure that could help cultivators break through to the fourth rank, in the Netherworld at all costs.

This was Lu Cheng'an's main purpose in keeping the Huaiyin City faction intact.

The Lu family had difficulty obtaining treasures to aid in the formation of a Nascent Soul in the mortal world, so the Netherworld became their only channel for acquiring such treasures.

This encounter with the Jade Spider Ghost King made the Yin Bamboo Ghost King realize once again the terrifying strength of Lu Cheng'an, which made him dare not disobey Lu Cheng'an's orders.

Even after Lu Cheng'an left Huaiyin City, he would still diligently follow the orders given by Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an is not worried about the Netherworld for the time being, since he has just left Huaiyin City. Even if the Yinzhu Ghost King has ulterior motives, he will not do so at this time.

He returned to the Nether River with Black Sun without encountering any trouble.

Lu Cheng'an did not linger in the Nether River. He left directly from the Nether River and quickly returned to the Lu family.

Lu Family Mountain Gate, Lu Cheng'an's Cave
“Jingkun, this is Black Crystal Stone Marrow. Use it to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!” Lu Cheng’an said with a soft laugh.

His main purpose in entering the Netherworld was to help Lu Jingkun find treasures that could assist in condensing his Nascent Soul.

Lu Jingkun's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm is crucial to the future development of the Lu family.

The cultivation technique he practices is the Earthly Jade Book. If his cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, it will greatly change the spiritual environment of the Lu family.

Take Suixing Peak, which the Lu family uses as a spiritual herb garden, for example. After Lu Jingkun's cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, he could modify the environment of Suixing Peak to make it more suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs, greatly reducing the growth cycle of the herbs.

"A treasure that helps in the formation of a Nascent Soul!"

An excitement flickered in Lu Jingkun's eyes. He was very familiar with the current state of the cultivation world and knew that it was extremely difficult for his Lu family to obtain a treasure that could assist in condensing a Nascent Soul. If it weren't for the Supreme Elder's obstruction, he had planned to break through on his own without relying on such a treasure.

"Thank you, Grand Elder. Jingkun will certainly not let you down!" Lu Jingkun said in a deep voice.

He didn't stand on ceremony, because among the current cultivators of the Lu family, he was the most qualified to use this treasure that helps condense the Nascent Soul.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled at Lu Jingkun and said gently, "Go back now and prepare well, and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible!"

A moment later, Lu Jingkun left Lu Chengan's cave.

After returning to his cave, Lu Jingkun announced that he would go into seclusion and begin to cultivate diligently in preparation for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After Lu Jingkun left, Lu Chengan went to Shi Ningyu's cave.

"Brother An, did your journey into the Netherworld go smoothly?" Shi Ningyu asked with concern.

"It went very smoothly. I obtained a portion of Black Crystal Marrow in the Netherworld, which I have already given to Jingkun to use..."

Lu Cheng'an quickly told Shi Ningyu about what had happened in the Netherworld, his tone filled with obvious joy.

He has already left a contingency plan in the Netherworld. If another treasure like the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom, which helps in the condensation of a Nascent Soul, were to appear in the Huaiyin River Basin, it would not be difficult for the Yin Bamboo Ghost King and other ghosts to obtain it.

"With Jingkun's talent, it probably won't be long before the clan gains another Nascent Soul cultivator!"

A pleasant smile appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. She looked at Lu Cheng'an and continued, "Brother An, your cultivation has now broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. With your cultivation speed, it shouldn't take too long to break through to the perfect Nascent Soul realm."

As Shi Ningyu spoke, a solemn expression appeared on her face.

"The cultivation world we live in now is isolated from the outside world. The Nascent Soul Perfection realm has reached its limit. Brother An, have you thought about what will happen after you break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection realm?"

The cultivation world they inhabited was not small in area, but its cultivation resources were extremely limited.

Otherwise, the Holy Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Demon King wouldn't have done so much to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded, which shows how difficult it is for a Nascent Soul cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an's smile slowly faded. He sighed and said, "Of course we've thought about it, but our strength is still too weak right now. Only when we break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm can we find a way to enter the outside world of cultivation."

They inherited the legacy of the Burning Flame Sect and the Divine Jade Sect. However, the inherited texts contained a lot of information about the outside cultivation world, which was much more prosperous than the cultivation world they were in now.

However, the ancient texts did not record any methods for traveling to the outside world of cultivation. If they wanted to enter the outside world of cultivation, they would have to find their own way.

Lu Cheng'an felt that Nascent Soul sects like the Sacred Heart Sect, Haoyang Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect must know how to travel to the outside world of cultivation.

The Demon King of Butterfly Transformation must have known this as well, because she had once gone to the outside world of cultivation in order to break through her cultivation level.

Even if these sects have information about this, they certainly won't easily tell Lu Cheng'an.

That's why Lu Cheng'an said he would wait until his cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage before discussing it further.

At that time, with his combat power, no one in the cultivation world he inhabits will be able to threaten him.

If he were to inquire about information from sects like Haoyang Sect at that time, they would certainly tell him the truth.

Shi Ningyu was a smart woman, and she quickly understood what Lu Cheng'an meant, so she didn't say anything more.

After that, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu stopped talking and went into the bedroom to cultivate together for a while.

Shi Ningyu's cultivation level is slightly lower than Lu Cheng'an's, and she has been diligently cultivating over the years.

After taking the Xuan Yu Shen Zhi Dan, her cultivation level also improved significantly.

After this dual cultivation with Lu Cheng'an, her cultivation level has improved considerably.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu began their dual cultivation, Lu Cheng'an did not leave the family to go to the underground lava river for secluded cultivation. Instead, he began to guide the weapon refiners in the family to improve their weapon refining skills.

The Lu family highly values ​​the various arts of cultivation, and their lineage in this area is very complete, with fourth-level inheritances in weapon crafting, alchemy, and talisman making.

Because Lu Cheng'an was a weapon refiner, the Lu family had a relatively large number of cultivators who practiced weapon refining techniques.

Among the Lu family cultivators who have pursued the path of weapon crafting, only Lu Chengmin has become a third-tier weapon crafter, because she is the only one whose cultivation has broken through to the Golden Core realm.

Lu Jingyuan and Lu Jingli started cultivating a little later than Lu Chengmin. Their cultivation level was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, but they had already reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage.

With the Lu family's current capabilities, it is highly possible to cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Lu Jingyuan's talent into a Golden Core cultivator.

When Lu Cheng'an told Lu Wenxing about his idea of ​​teaching weapon-refining skills to the weapon refiners in his family, it immediately elicited a strong response from Lu Wenxing.

Lu Wenxing quickly informed the cultivators in his clan of the news, and the Lu family cultivators were extremely excited upon receiving it.

Lu Cheng'an was a legendary figure to the cultivators of the Lu family. Now that this legend of the Lu family was going to explain the art of weapon crafting to them, how could they not be excited?

Upon receiving the news, the Lu family cultivators outside the clan rushed back to the clan in a frenzy.

This wasn't just for weapon refiners; younger cultivators who hadn't studied weapon refining techniques also wanted to hear Lu Cheng explain the art of weapon refining.

This is understandable. Those Lu family cultivators who did not practice the art of weapon crafting mainly wanted to take this opportunity to admire Lu Cheng'an's honor.

Three days later, most of the cultivators from the Lu family who were able to return had returned to the mountain gate. At this time, Lu Cheng'an began to explain the art of weapon crafting on Sun Peak.

"Clan leader, didn't I say I would only explain the art of weapon crafting? Why are there so many clansmen here now?" Lu Cheng'an asked with surprise after seeing the dense crowd of clansmen around him.

"They naturally wanted to see you, the Supreme Elder. I didn't stop them, so you shouldn't be angry, right?" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly and said, "I certainly won't be angry. Since so many clansmen are here today, I will not only explain the art of weapon crafting, but also the art of cultivation."

The moment Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, he rode a cloud to the sky above Sun Peak, preparing to begin explaining the art of weapon crafting. (End of Chapter)
