Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Lu Cheng'an was highly skilled in weapon crafting. His crafting skills had long surpassed those of the Hundred Weapons True Monarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect, making him the number one weapon crafter in Qingzhou and Hezhou.

Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills mainly come from the weapon-refining inheritance of the Burning Flame Sect and his own exploration. After communicating with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, his weapon-refining skills have been greatly improved.

Lu Cheng'an flew to the sky above Sun Peak, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the group of Lu family cultivators on Sun Peak.

He didn't say much. Before he started speaking, he briefly encouraged the cultivators in his clan and then began to explain the art of weapon crafting.

Lu Cheng'an started by explaining the first-order weapon crafting techniques. He was very skilled in weapon crafting, and his explanations were extremely simple and clear, making them easy for people to understand.

Those Lu family cultivators who had never been exposed to the art of weapon crafting before felt a sense of accomplishment after hearing Lu Cheng'an's explanation of the art. They felt that they too could become high-level weapon crafters like Lu Cheng'an.

The Lu family currently only has one third-tier weapon refiner, but Lu Cheng'an did not stop explaining at the third tier. Instead, he went straight to the fourth-tier mid-grade that he had reached.

The following content gave the Lu family cultivators the feeling of listening to a heavenly book. They could not understand what Lu Cheng'an was saying, but they inexplicably had some special insights.

Lu Cheng'an's subsequent explanation was not for the Lu family's cultivators, but rather a review of his own mastery of weapon-refining techniques.

After he finished explaining, he gave Lu Chengmin and the other Lu family weapon refiners a chance to ask questions.

Lu Chengmin and the other Lu family weapon refiners did indeed have many questions about weapon refining. After listening to Lu Chengan's explanation, many of their original questions were answered, but even more questions arose.

If these questions are answered, their weapon-forging skills will be greatly improved.

However, Lu Chengmin and other Lu family cultivators were extremely afraid of Lu Cheng'an, the clan's supreme elder, and many of them dared not ask questions.

In the end, it was only after Lu Cheng'an took the initiative to ask questions that the situation gradually improved.

"That concludes my explanation of weapon crafting. You can explore that on your own later. Next, I will explain the path of cultivation!"

Above the clouds, Lu Cheng'an's voice slowly drifted out, and this news immediately caused a stir among the Lu family cultivators below.

"The Supreme Elder is even going to explain the path of cultivation this time. It was really worth coming back from outside!"

"Thank goodness I came back. If I had missed this sermon by the Supreme Elder, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"

…………

Upon hearing that Lu Cheng'an was going to explain the path of cultivation, the Lu family cultivators of Sun Peak immediately showed excitement on their faces.

They had just listened to the Supreme Elder's explanation of the Way of Weapon Forging. Although many of them had not practiced the Way of Weapon Forging, they were still captivated by the explanation and gained many insights into the Way of Weapon Forging.

If the Supreme Elder were to explain the path of cultivation, it would surely be as captivating as his explanation of the path of weapon crafting, greatly benefiting their future cultivation.

Lu Cheng'an paused for a moment, then began to explain his understanding of the various stages of cultivation, starting with the Qi Refining stage.

Just like when he explained the art of weapon crafting, he also started explaining the art of cultivation from the lowest level of Qi Refining and continued all the way up to his own Nascent Soul stage.

During his sermons, he also reflected on his own spiritual practice, and after the sermons ended, he had a clearer understanding of his own spiritual development.

At the same time, he also had a clearer plan for his future cultivation path.

After explaining the path of cultivation, Lu Cheng'an also gave his clansmen the opportunity to ask questions.

The weapon refiners from the Lu family had already asked Lu Cheng'an questions, and Lu Cheng'an was quite approachable.

Therefore, when Lu Cheng'an answered the cultivation questions of the Lu family members, the number of Lu family cultivators who took the initiative to ask questions increased.

The cultivation levels of the Lu family cultivators were far inferior to those of Lu Cheng'an, and the problems they encountered were quite simple for Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an was able to dispel their doubts with just a few words.

However, some of the questions raised by the cultivators were able to stimulate Lu Cheng'an's thinking, which in turn gave him some insights.

Lu Cheng'an's explanation of the path of cultivation lasted for three days in total.

After he finished preaching, he returned to his cave and began to digest what he had learned from the sermon.

After the lecture, the cultivators of the Lu family all began to cultivate in seclusion.

After listening to Lu Cheng'an's sermon, the bottlenecks that had hindered them for so long were about to be broken, and their cultivation would definitely increase after their seclusion ended.

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

At this moment, the spiritual energy within Sun Peak converged towards Lu Jingkun's cave, an event that immediately caught the attention of Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu.

"Cheng'an, is Jingkun's cultivation about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm?" Lu Wenxing asked excitedly after seeing Lu Cheng'an, who had also come out of the cave.

The news that Lu Cheng'an had brought back a Nascent Soul treasure from the Netherworld was known to several Golden Core cultivators in the Lu family.

They also knew that Lu Cheng'an had given the treasure that could condense a nascent soul to Lu Jingkun.

Some time has passed since Lu Jingkun obtained the treasure that helped him condense his Nascent Soul. Now, the spiritual energy of Sun Peak is converging on Lu Jingkun's cave, which means that Lu Jingkun's cultivation is about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly and said, "Jing Kun has now reached the final step in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. As long as he survives the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation, he will be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

There are two main difficulties for Golden Core cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. One is the process of breaking through the core and condensing the nascent soul. If they fail, their cultivation will be destroyed.

Secondly, after successfully condensing the nascent soul, one must overcome the pure yang fire tribulation, a process that is equally perilous.

If a cultivator's accumulation is insufficient, even if they successfully condense their nascent soul, they will be burned to ashes by the pure yang fire tribulation.

Lu Jingkun has now successfully condensed his Nascent Soul. Next, as long as he survives the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation, his cultivation will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Cheng'an was not worried about Lu Jingkun undergoing the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation.

Because Lu Jingkun cultivates the Earthly Jade Book, cultivators who cultivate this technique often have a more solid foundation than normal cultivators.

Moreover, Lu Jingkun also cultivated the True Yang Body Refining Technique and the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique. Although his mastery of these two techniques was not as good as Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, it still made his physical body and soul power far surpass those of cultivators at the same level.

With such a foundation, unless he was truly unlucky, Lu Jingkun could not possibly fail to overcome the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation.

Lu Jingkun's Pure Yang Fire Tribulation did not last long. After successfully passing through the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation, he did not leave the cave, but instead began to focus on consolidating his cultivation.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, both Nascent Soul cultivators, had already sensed the change in Lu Jingkun's cultivation level. They quickly shared the good news of Lu Jingkun's successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm with the Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family.

"Jing Kun's cultivation has also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and our Lu family now has three Nascent Soul cultivators!" "Our Lu family is becoming stronger and stronger, and there are no threats around our family now. In the future, our Lu family will definitely become even more powerful!"

"Actually, Chengping can now try to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, but he lacks the treasures to help him condense his Nascent Soul!"

…………

After a heated discussion, Lu Wenxing and the other Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family inevitably steered the conversation toward Lu Chengping.

Lu Chengping's cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core Perfection realm, and now he can try to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, his talent was slightly inferior to Lu Jingkun's, and his contribution to the family was not as great as Lu Jingkun's.

Therefore, after obtaining the Black Crystal Stone Marrow, Lu Cheng'an hesitated only slightly between Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping before deciding to give the Black Crystal Stone Marrow to Lu Jingkun for use.

Lu Chengping didn't complain about this, because he was well aware of the gap between himself and Lu Jingkun.

Moreover, since Lu Cheng'an obtained this treasure, the Black Crystal Marrow, which was used to condense a Nascent Soul, he has the absolute right to decide how to distribute it.

Since Lu Chengan broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, Lu Chengping has been cultivating at the Lu family and rarely returns to the Spirit Gu Sect.

Now his two Daoist partners have also come with him to the Lu family, and the number of times he goes to the Linggu Sect is very limited.

The Linggu Sect had no complaints about this; on the contrary, they were quite pleased to see it.

Because there is now a huge gap between the Lu family and the Linggu Sect, it would be a good thing for the Linggu Sect if their Golden Core cultivators married into the Lu family.

"Don't worry about Brother Chengping breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm for now. We should have news about the treasures that will help him condense his Nascent Soul soon!" Lu Chengan said with a smile.

He wasn't lying; it was the truth.

Although he left the Netherworld, he continued to have Black Sun and other ghosts search for treasures to help condense a nascent soul.

Not long ago, Hei Yang sent him a message that treasures were being nurtured in the Blackwater River Basin, including the Cloud Water Yuan Pearl, which was suitable for human cultivators.

The Cloud Water Pearl is a water-attribute treasure and is only suitable for cultivators who practice water-attribute techniques.

The cultivation technique Lu Chengping practiced was called the Heavenly Evolution Technique. He obtained this technique from the ruins of an ancient sect, and it was a wood-attribute technique.

This means that the Cloud and Water Pearl is not suitable for Lu Chengping to use.

However, the Cloud Water Pearl is a treasure that helps cultivators condense their Nascent Soul. As long as Lu Cheng'an can obtain the Cloud Water Pearl, he can use it to exchange for a wood-attribute treasure suitable for Lu Chengping to condense his Nascent Soul.

Lu Cheng'an had no intention of getting involved in the matter of seizing the Cloud Water Pearl.

The two most powerful forces in the Huaiyin River Basin are Huaiyin City and Tianyin Mountain Range, with Huaiyin City being a force under Lu Cheng'an.

The Jade Spider Ghost King, a late-stage fourth-tier monster from the Tianyin Mountains, had not fully recovered from her injuries, which greatly affected her combat abilities.

The ghosts in Huaiyin City, led by the Yinzhu Ghost King, are vying with the ghosts of the Tianyin Mountains for the Cloud Water Pearl, and their chances of success are quite high.

If the ghosts of Huaiyin City fail, it won't be too late for Lu Cheng'an to enter the Netherworld then.

After receiving Hei Yang's message, Lu Cheng'an gave Hei Yang a death order, instructing them to seize the Cloud Water Pearl at all costs.

"Cheng'an, are you telling the truth? You can really obtain another treasure to help condense a Nascent Soul?"

Upon hearing what Lu Cheng'an said, Lu Wenxing and the other Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family immediately turned their gazes to Lu Cheng'an.

Although Lu Chengping did not speak, the emotions revealed in his eyes were unmistakable.

He was extremely excited, because if his family were to obtain another treasure that could help condense a nascent soul, he would be the most qualified person to use it.

"This is indeed true, but we will need to wait a while longer before we can get a definitive answer."

Lu Cheng'an smiled at Lu Wenxing and the others, and said calmly, "Jing Kun's cultivation has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. Let's all go back and not disturb him as he consolidates his cultivation!"

After Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, he and Shi Ningyu left Lu Jingkun's cave together.

However, Lu Wenxing and the other Golden Core cultivators of the Lu family could not remain as calm as Lu Cheng'an. Although they left Lu Jingkun's cave as Lu Cheng'an had instructed.

However, they continued to have heated discussions in private, expressing their excitement and joy.

Inside Shi Ningyu's cave.

"Brother An, are you really confident that you can obtain a new treasure to help condense a Nascent Soul?" Shi Ningyu asked, frowning.

Lu Cheng'an had not told Shi Ningyu this news beforehand.

This was mainly because Lu Cheng'an had only recently received the news, and Shi Ningyu had been in seclusion, so he did not take the initiative to tell Shi Ningyu the news.

"I received the message from Hei Yang half a month ago. He said that among the treasures nurtured in the Huaiyin River Basin is the Cloud Water Yuan Pearl, which helps to condense the Nascent Soul."

Those treasures haven't appeared yet; we'll have to wait a while before we can confirm their identities.

"The environment in the Netherworld is much better than here. High-level resources are extremely scarce here!" Shi Ningyu sighed softly.

“I can now refine mid-grade fourth-order pills. The pill refining traditions of the Divine Jade Sect and the Burning Flame Sect both record the Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill. This pill is very helpful for improving the cultivation of mid-Nascent Soul cultivators. See if you can collect the materials to refine the Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill.”

Shi Ningyu has spent more time cultivating than Lu Cheng'an, and her talent for cultivation is also extremely outstanding. She is now very close to breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Besides her regular cultivation, Shi Ningyu also spent a lot of time on alchemy.

She is highly skilled in alchemy. Although her cultivation level is still at the early stage of Nascent Soul, she is confident that she can refine mid-grade fourth-order pills.

However, the Lu family's lineage is too short. Although a large number of spiritual herbs are planted in the Suixing Peak, the fourth-tier spiritual herbs are still a very long way from reaching maturity.

If Shi Ningyu wants to refine fourth-order pills, she can only purchase pill-refining materials from outside.

However, even fourth-tier alchemy materials are scarce for Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect, and are rarely offered for trade.

The materials Shi Ningyu used to refine the Profound Jade Divine Mushroom Pill were all earned by Lu Cheng'an through helping cultivators from Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect refine fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures. (End of Chapter)
