Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Nascent Soul cultivators need a very long time to cultivate before they can break through their cultivation level. However, if they take pills that help improve their cultivation, they can greatly shorten this time.

Lu Cheng'an's successful breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm was also largely due to taking the Xuan Yu Shen Zhi Dan.

Now that his cultivation has broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it will take him longer to break through to the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm than he did when he broke through from the early stage to the mid-stage.

If Shi Ningyu can successfully refine the fourth-grade mid-level Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill, then Lu Cheng'an's cultivation speed will increase rapidly.

"Tell me the materials you are missing when refining the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill, and I will try to gather them as soon as possible."

After a moment's thought, Lu Cheng'an changed his previous cultivation plan.

The only way he could gather materials for refining the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill was by helping other Nascent Soul cultivators refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures.

This is mainly because the Lu family does not possess fourth-order mineral deposits, nor can they obtain fourth-order spiritual herbs, making it difficult to acquire the materials they need from other Nascent Soul cultivators.

“You can take some time to explain the art of alchemy and cultivation to the cultivators in your clan. I have also gained a lot from explaining these arts to the cultivators in my clan,” Lu Cheng’an said.

Giving a sermon to the cultivators in the clan does not take much time, and it is of great benefit to both the cultivators in the clan and oneself.

This is also the main reason why Lu Cheng'an suggested that Shi Ningyu also preach to the cultivators in the clan.

"Let me prepare for a few more days. I'll also take this opportunity to sort out my cultivation path!" Shi Ningyu said with a smile.

She did not refuse; Lu Cheng'an's preaching at Sun Peak had previously been extremely impressive.

Even though she was cultivating in her cave, she still sensed the entire process of Lu Cheng'an's sermon.

"Then you should prepare well. I'll try to gather the materials to refine the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill!"

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu made their agreement, Lu returned to his cave dwelling and then began to send messages to Nascent Soul cultivators in sects such as the Suspended Mirror Sect.

Previously, because the Suspended Mirror Sect had doubts about Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills, they only asked Lu Cheng'an to refine two low-grade fourth-order magic weapons.

After witnessing Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills, they felt extremely regretful and wanted to continue to seek Lu Cheng'an to refine fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures.

At that time, Lu Cheng'an was in a hurry to enter the Netherworld to find a treasure for condensing a nascent soul, so he did not agree to the Suspended Mirror Sect's request to refine it.

He didn't have anything urgent to deal with, and since he was short of materials to refine the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill, he took the initiative to contact the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect.

Lu Cheng'an contacted True Monarch Qiandie. Among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Suspended Mirror Sect, he was more familiar with True Monarch Qiandie.

The fourth-tier technique he is currently practicing, Piercing Finger, was given to him by True Monarch Thousand Layers.

Upon receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, True Monarch Qiandie quickly gave Lu Cheng'an a reply.

He did want to ask Lu Cheng'an to refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures, but their Suspended Mirror Sect could not afford the refining fees required by Lu Cheng'an.

However, True Monarch Qiandie told Lu Cheng'an about a way to obtain materials for refining the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill: find the Medicine Immortal Valley.

The Valley of Medicine Immortals cultivates a vast number of spiritual herbs, and the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill is only a mid-grade fourth-order pill.

The highest grade of materials needed to refine this kind of pill is only mid-grade fourth rank. Qiandie Zhenjun assured Lu Cheng'an that Yaoxian Valley definitely had complete sets of these materials.

Lu Cheng'an was not very familiar with the cultivators of Yaoxian Valley, and Yaoxian Valley was a cultivation sect in Hezhou.

Lu Cheng'an and Baiqi Zhenjun intuitively divided their territories, only accepting weapon-refining tasks within their respective states.

Therefore, even though Lu Cheng'an knew that Yaoxian Valley had a high probability of having the materials to refine the Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill, he never thought of taking the initiative to contact the cultivators of Yaoxian Valley.

But now, True Monarch Qiandie has mentioned Medicine Immortal Valley to Lu Cheng'an.

"According to True Monarch Qiandie, two mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon alchemy furnaces collapsed in Medicine Immortal Valley in the past few years. Now True Monarch Baiqi is in Medicine Immortal Valley helping them refine mid-grade fourth-tier alchemy furnaces!"

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, knowing what it meant for True Monarch Qiandie to have told him this news.

Because True Monarch Qiandie shared the same idea as him, both believing that True Monarch Baiqi could not forge a mid-grade fourth-order alchemy furnace.

Alchemy furnaces and weapon-refining furnaces are relatively difficult to forge. The Hundred Weapons True Monarch's talent for weapon refining was not very good. He only became a fourth-order mid-grade weapon refiner after exchanging weapon-refining experience with Lu Cheng'an.

He can still refine ordinary mid-grade fourth-order magic weapons, but refining mid-grade fourth-order weapon furnaces is basically impossible for him.

Medicine Immortal Valley is currently at a loss. Hezhou only has one fourth-tier mid-grade weapon refiner, Hundred Weapons True Monarch, so they can only ask him to refine a fourth-tier mid-grade alchemy furnace.

True Monarch Qiandie believed that True Monarch Baiqi would eventually be unable to forge a mid-grade fourth-order weapon forging furnace.

The Suspended Mirror Sect and the Medicine Immortal Valley are adjacent to each other. Although the two sects are not in the same state, the relationship between the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two sects is still quite close.

When the Hundred Weapons True Monarch fails to help Medicine Immortal Valley refine a mid-grade fourth-order weapon forging furnace, he will then recommend Lu Cheng'an to Medicine Immortal Valley for assistance.

True Monarch Qiandie had great faith in Lu Chengan's crafting skills, believing that Lu Chengan was definitely capable of crafting a mid-grade fourth-order alchemy furnace.

After reading the message from True Monarch Qiandie, Lu Cheng'an decided to make a trip to the Suspended Mirror Sect.

This Nascent Soul sect excels in the Dao of Space, and the fourth-tier technique he cultivates, the Void Piercing Finger, which involves the Dao of Space, originated from this Nascent Soul sect.

The forces of time and space are the most mysterious and powerful, and he now has some knowledge of both.

Unfortunately, his knowledge of the Dao of Space was limited to the fourth-order technique, the Piercing Finger. He decided to go to the Suspended Mirror Sect to help True Monarch Thousand Folds refine a fourth-order magic weapon, hoping to obtain more information about the Dao of Space from the Suspended Mirror Sect.

This might involve the secrets of the Suspended Mirror Sect, but he believed that after consideration, the Suspended Mirror Sect would definitely agree to his request.

After considering it, Lu Cheng'an gave Qiandie Zhenjun his reply.

After speaking with Shi Ningyu, he headed towards the Suspended Mirror Gate.

Lu Cheng'an had cultivated the Star Flame Concealment Technique to perfection. In addition, his cultivation had now broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, so when he used this technique to travel, he could make his speed reach its limit.

Lu Cheng'an's current strength is no match for a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, but if he relies on the Star Flame Concealment Technique to escape with all his might, even a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm might not be able to catch up with him.

Soon after, Lu Chengan arrived at the welcoming peak of the Suspended Mirror Gate.

True Monarch Qiandie had already received Lu Cheng'an's message and was waiting for Lu Cheng'an's arrival at Welcoming Guest Peak.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Fellow Daoist Lu. Your cultivation has improved even more!" True Monarch Qiandie exclaimed upon seeing Lu Cheng'an. He sensed a significant increase in Lu Cheng'an's cultivation, even though it had only been a short time since Lu Cheng'an broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

At the rate at which Lu Cheng'an's cultivation is improving, he will probably be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in no time.

It's a pity that Lu Cheng'an was born in a cultivation land like theirs, which is isolated from the outside world; otherwise, he would have had a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The Thousandfold True Monarch could not discern Lu Cheng'an's true cultivation level because Lu Cheng'an had used the Minor Transformation Technique.

The Minor Transformation Technique is just a minor supernatural ability, but its effects are quite remarkable.

After Lu Cheng'an's cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, the effect of this minor supernatural power on him was greatly reduced.

He then spent some more time deducing this minor supernatural power. Although it has not yet fully reached the level of a supernatural power, it is not far off.

Qiandie Zhenjun, like Lu Cheng'an, was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, so he naturally couldn't see through Lu Cheng'an's Minor Transformation Technique.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with True Monarch Qiandie, Lu Cheng'an began to explain his main purpose for coming to the Suspended Mirror Sect.

"I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Hu to take out your natal magic weapon now. I need to study it before I can determine if I can help you upgrade its grade to mid-fourth rank!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The Thousand-Fold True Lord's natal magic weapon is called the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror, which is extremely difficult to forge.

The Thousand-Fold Void Mirror of True Monarch Qian Die was left behind by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Suspended Mirror Sect. At that time, the Suspended Mirror Sect still had weapon refiners capable of crafting such fourth-tier magic treasures.

Although the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror has undergone some modifications, it is not truly the natal magic weapon of True Lord Thousand-Fold, and True Lord Thousand-Fold still finds it somewhat difficult to use.

Moreover, the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror is only of the fourth-grade low quality, while the Thousand-Fold True Monarch's cultivation has long since broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. This natal magic weapon is becoming increasingly incompatible with the Thousand-Fold True Monarch.

The most commonly used artifact by True Monarch Qiandie is the fourth-tier mid-grade magic weapon, the Clear Mirror. Unfortunately, the Clear Mirror is now severely damaged and basically unusable.

After learning that Lu Cheng'an could help their sect's early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators refine fourth-grade low-level magic weapons, True Monarch Qiandie wanted to find Lu Cheng'an to repair the Void Mirror.

Unfortunately, Lu Cheng'an was in a hurry to go to the Netherworld to find a treasure to help condense a nascent soul, so he did not agree to help True Monarch Qiandie repair it.

"Of course! This is my natal magic weapon, the Thousand-Layer Void Mirror!"

A look of joy appeared on Qiandie Zhenjun's face, and he immediately took out his natal magic weapon.

The Thousand-Layer Void Mirror is entirely bluish-gray, with only wavy patterns on its surface; otherwise, it is no different from an ordinary mirror.

After receiving the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror from the Thousand-Fold True Monarch, Lu Cheng'an began to release his Nascent Soul power to examine the runes inside the Thousand-Fold Void Mirror.

The Thousand-Layer Void Mirror is a true spatial magic treasure, and most of the runes within it are spatial runes.

Lu Cheng'an's understanding of spatial power was not deep enough, and he felt that studying these spatial runes was relatively difficult.

Originally, Lu Cheng'an had planned to use the excuse of refining magical artifacts and treasures to read more of the Suspended Mirror Sect's classic texts on the Dao of Space.

Now that he has seen the rune structure inside the Thousand Layers Void Mirror, he knows that this is not an excuse at all.

If his understanding of the Dao of Space doesn't improve, he simply won't be able to help True Monarch Thousand Folds upgrade the grade of his natal magic weapon to the middle grade of the fourth rank.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, your natal magic weapon involves too much spatial power. With my current understanding of the Dao of Space, I'm afraid I can't help you upgrade the grade of your natal magic weapon to the middle grade of the fourth rank."

A wry smile appeared on Lu Cheng'an's face as he said, "Your sect should have some books on refining such magical artifacts and treasures. Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"

"If it's inconvenient, Fellow Daoist Hu, please pretend I never said that. You can take out the Clear Mirror. I should be able to help Fellow Daoist Hu repair this magic artifact."

True Monarch Qiandie had two purposes in seeking out Lu Cheng'an: one was to upgrade the grade of his natal magic weapon, and the other was to repair the damaged Void Mirror.

"There are indeed such weapon-refining manuals in our sect. However, this involves sect secrets, and I cannot lend them to Fellow Daoist Lu on my own. I need to discuss it with the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect before I can give you an answer. Please don't be angry, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

Qiandie Zhenjun smiled apologetically at Lu Cheng'an, indicating that he was willing to hand over these books to Lu Cheng'an for review.

Their Suspended Mirror Sect only has two top-tier third-level weapon refiners.

These two top-tier third-level weapon refiners have limited talent for cultivation and have virtually no chance of becoming Nascent Soul cultivators.

In this way, their Suspended Mirror Sect would have no chance of cultivating its own fourth-tier weapon refiners.

Even if they can train fourth-tier weapon refiners, it's still unknown how long they will have to wait for the sect's weapon refiners to forge a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon.

Now, the weapon-refining manuals of their Suspended Mirror Sect are just gathering dust in the sect, completely useless.

Lu Cheng'an possesses top-tier talent in both cultivation and weapon crafting.

If Lu Cheng'an could borrow the sect's weapon-refining manuals and help them refine a mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon in a short time, it would be an excellent thing for their Xuanjing Sect.

Of course, this is just one person's idea.

There are other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Suspended Mirror Sect. If the other Nascent Soul cultivators do not agree to borrow the books, then Lu Cheng'an will not be able to view the Suspended Mirror Sect's weapon-refining manuals.

"I understand!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu can tell the other Nascent Soul cultivators in your sect that if they agree to borrow it, I can help your sect refine two mid-grade fourth-tier magic treasures free of charge!"

"Then I thank Fellow Daoist Lu in advance. I will convey Fellow Daoist Lu's message to the other fellow disciples."

True Monarch Qiandie laughed loudly and said, "This is the Clear Mirror. Fellow Daoist Lu, do you think you can repair it?"

After putting away his natal magic weapon, True Lord Qiandie took out the Clear Mirror.

The Kongming Mirror is of the middle grade of the fourth rank, which is one rank higher than the Thousand-Layer Void Mirror.

However, the number of spatial runes involved in the Void Mirror is incomparable to that of the Thousand-Layer Void Mirror. Moreover, Lu Cheng'an only needs to repair the damaged parts, not upgrade the grade of the Void Mirror, which greatly reduces the difficulty.

After carefully studying the Clear Mirror, Lu Cheng'an gave Qiandie Zhenjun an affirmative answer.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lu from now on!" True Monarch Qiandie said happily. (End of Chapter)
