Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

After Lu Cheng'an followed the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines into the Valley of Medicine Immortals, he first met the True Lord of a Hundred Weapons, who had stayed in the Valley of Medicine Immortals for several years.

When Baiqi Zhenjun met Lu Cheng'an, he was quite excited. He couldn't wait to ask Lu Cheng'an about the various details of refining the Thousand-Layer Void Mirror, and wanted to exchange insights on weapon refining with Lu Cheng'an again.

However, the old man of ten thousand medicines stopped him, wanting Lu Cheng'an to refine the fourth-grade mid-level magic weapon alchemy furnace as soon as possible.

“Fellow Daoist Yao, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. I haven’t refined alchemy furnaces many times, and this time I’m going to refine a mid-grade fourth-level magic treasure alchemy furnace. I’d better discuss it with Fellow Daoist Zhao first.”

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at the old man of ten thousand medicines, and continued, "Your sect must have many books on alchemy furnaces and weapon crafting. If it is convenient, I would like to borrow them."

When the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines heard Lu Cheng'an say this, he no longer stopped Lu Cheng'an from communicating with the True Lord of a Hundred Weapons.

As for Lu Cheng'an's desire to view the weapon-refining manuals of the Medicine Immortal Valley, the Medicine Immortal Valley was not as troublesome as the Suspended Mirror Sect, and the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines directly agreed to Lu Cheng'an's request.

Besides the fact that the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines holds the highest position in the Medicine Immortal Valley, there is another very important reason: the refining manuals of the Medicine Immortal Valley have little to do with the cultivators of the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Even if Lu Cheng'an mastered all the contents of the weapon-refining classics collected by the Medicine Immortal Valley, it would not have any impact on the cultivators of the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Lu Cheng'an did not directly look at the weapon-refining manuals of Yaoxian Valley, but instead first exchanged weapon-refining experience with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch.

As the only fourth-tier weapon refiner in Qinghe Prefecture before Lu Cheng'an, Baiqi Zhenjun had quite a talent for weapon refining.

He spent more time on weapon crafting than Lu Cheng'an. Since exchanging weapon crafting experiences with Lu Cheng'an last time, he has devoted most of his time to improving his weapon crafting skills.

Unfortunately, there are differences between people. Even though he spent more time on weapon crafting than Lu Cheng'an, his weapon crafting skills were still surpassed by Lu Cheng'an.

Fortunately, the Hundred Weapons True Monarch was a magnanimous person. He was not angry because Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills had surpassed his. On the contrary, he was happy because Lu Cheng'an was willing to continue to exchange weapon-refining experience with him.

After exchanging weapon-refining experiences with the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, Lu Cheng'an gained considerable benefits.

Afterwards, under the arrangement of the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines, Lu Cheng'an began to study the weapon-refining classics collected in the Medicine Immortal Valley. The True Lord of a Hundred Weapons also did not leave the Medicine Immortal Valley, but stayed in the Medicine Immortal Valley to digest the gains he had made after exchanging ideas with Lu Cheng'an.

Because he had already made an agreement with Lu Cheng'an, he would also observe from the sidelines and assist Lu Cheng'an when Lu Cheng'an was refining a mid-grade fourth-level magic weapon alchemy furnace for the Medicine Immortal Valley.

The cave dwelling that the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines arranged for Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged, holding a jade slip in his hand. The jade slip contained the weapon-refining classics collected by the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Medicine Immortal Valley trusted Lu Cheng'an completely and directly took out the collection of weapon-refining classics and gave them to Lu Cheng'an to read.

"Just as I guessed, the Medicine Immortal Valley mainly contains books on weapon crafting and alchemy."

After a brief sigh, Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any more time and instead focused all his attention on the jade slip for refining weapons in his hand.

The Medicine Immortal Valley does not have as many weapon-refining manuals as the Suspended Mirror Sect, and there are quite a few duplicate manuals. In addition, Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills have improved again, and he is reading these manuals at a faster pace.

This time, Lu Cheng'an only spent nearly a year reading through all the weapon-refining classics collected by the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Afterwards, he returned all these books to the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines, and then summoned the True Lord of a Hundred Weapons to prepare a mid-grade fourth-order alchemy furnace for the Medicine Immortal Valley.

The crafting of this type of magical artifact is indeed quite difficult. However, after spending nearly a year researching alchemy furnace-type magical artifacts, Lu Cheng'an is now very confident in crafting a mid-grade fourth-tier magical alchemy furnace.

The Hundred Weapons True Monarch's weapon-refining skills were also quite good. When Lu Cheng'an was refining, the Hundred Weapons True Monarch assisted him, which further increased Lu Cheng'an's success rate in refining a fourth-grade mid-level magic weapon alchemy furnace.

Time passed slowly, and four months went by in the blink of an eye.

"Lu Cheng'an, we succeeded! You're amazing!" After sensing that Lu Cheng'an had successfully imprinted the last rune, the Hundred Weapons True Monarch cheered.

He had spent several years on this before, but still hadn't succeeded.

He participated in the entire process of Lu Cheng'an refining a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon alchemy furnace, which once again showed him Lu Cheng'an's terrifying talent in weapon refining.

At the same time, it made him deeply realize the huge gap between him and Lu Cheng'an.

"The fact that we were able to successfully refine the fourth-grade mid-level magic weapon alchemy furnace this time is largely thanks to your assistance!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

The Hundred Weapons True Monarch shook his head and said, "Lu Cheng'an, don't be modest. To be honest, I didn't help you much when you were refining it. On the contrary, I learned a lot from it!"

If he could really help Lu Cheng'an, he might be able to refine a mid-grade fourth-level magic weapon alchemy furnace himself.

"Are you planning to continue refining, or would you like to tell the Medicine Immortal Valley the good news first, and then take a rest?" asked the Hundred Weapons True Monarch.

"Let's inform the Medicine Immortal Valley first. I also need to rest and recover my energy before continuing the refining process, otherwise it might fail!"

Refining magic weapons of this grade is quite a burden for him. If he were to refine two magic weapons of this grade in a row, he would definitely be unable to handle it.

The Hundred Weapons True Lord did not feel tired because he had not been of much help.

Upon hearing that Lu Cheng'an wanted to rest, he immediately followed Lu Cheng'an out of the weapon-refining room.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley, including the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines, were quite anxious during this time, as they were waiting for Lu Cheng'an's refining results.

When they learned that Lu Cheng'an and the Hundred Weapons True Monarch had come out of the weapon-refining room, they immediately wanted to know the results of Lu Cheng'an's refining.

When questioned by the cultivators from the Medicine Immortal Valley, Lu Cheng'an and the Hundred Weapons True Monarch did not say much, but instead took out the fourth-grade mid-level magic treasure alchemy furnace and handed it over to the Ten Thousand Medicine Elder.

"Great! We finally have a new alchemy furnace!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, thank you so much!"

…………

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley were extremely fascinated by magic treasure alchemy furnaces of this grade. Therefore, when they saw Lu Cheng'an refine a mid-grade fourth-order magic treasure alchemy furnace, they became even more grateful to him.

However, because the Hundred Weapons True Monarch was still present, they restrained themselves somewhat, worried that they might offend him and cause trouble for Lu Cheng'an. Lu Cheng'an didn't say much, only telling the Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley that he was quite tired, and then returned to his cave to rest.

The Hundred Weapons True Monarch did not interact with the cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley again, but returned to his own cave dwelling.

Lu Cheng'an rested for five days again. After five days, Lu Cheng'an found the Hundred Weapons True Monarch, and the two entered the weapon-refining room again to refine a mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon alchemy furnace together.

Because of his experience, Lu Cheng'an's refining process went much more smoothly this time, and the time it took was also reduced. He successfully refined the second mid-grade fourth-order magic weapon alchemy furnace in just three and a half months.

After Lu Cheng'an finished refining the second mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon alchemy furnace, he and the Hundred Weapons True Monarch handed it over to the Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley.

At this time, Yaoxian Valley also paid Lu Cheng'an the refining fee that they had agreed on before.

The cost of refining a fourth-tier mid-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace is not low, but the cost is only enough for three sets of materials to refine the Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill and five kinds of materials to refine the Mountain-Chasing Whip and the Heavy Mountain Treasure Seal.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu also obtained a lot of fourth-tier materials in the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect and the Divine Jade Sect. Lu Cheng'an used these materials to exchange for some of the missing materials with the Medicine Immortal Valley.

The Hundred Weapons True Monarch was born into the Heavenly Sword Sect. Due to his status as a fourth-level weapon refiner, he was quite wealthy.

After trading with Yaoxian Valley and Baiqi Zhenjun, Lu Chengan had almost gathered all the necessary materials.

He also asked Yaoxian Valley and Baiqi Zhenjun to continue to help him collect the missing materials. When Lu Cheng'an was about to leave Yaoxian Valley, he was persuaded to stay by the Nascent Soul cultivators of Yaoxian Valley. They wanted to ask Lu Cheng'an to continue refining fourth-order magic treasures.

As for the refining costs, they could let Lu Cheng'an raise them as he pleased.

Those two mid-grade fourth-tier magic treasure alchemy furnaces were used for refining pills in daily life, not for the Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley to use themselves.

Medicine Immortal Valley has two cultivators in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. The grade of their natal magic treasures is the same as that of True Monarch Thousand Folds, both remaining at the lower fourth rank.

They wanted to ask Lu Cheng'an to help them upgrade the grade of their natal magic treasures and, incidentally, to refine some other magic treasures.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in Medicine Immortal Valley are mostly fourth-level alchemists, and their wealth is far greater than that of cultivators at the same level.

However, Lu Cheng'an did not agree. He had been away from the family for several years, and there were still many things to deal with in the family. He could not stay away any longer.

Currently, there is no war in Qing and He prefectures, so Yaoxian Valley does not have a great need for fourth-tier magic weapons and treasures.

In addition, Lu Cheng'an had just helped them refine two mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon alchemy furnaces, and they would also use these two mid-grade fourth-tier magic weapon alchemy furnaces to refine pills.

Therefore, the Nascent Soul cultivators of Medicine Immortal Valley made an agreement with Lu Cheng'an that when Lu Cheng'an had time, they would ask him to help them refine fourth-order magic weapons and treasures.

Not long after, Lu Chengan left Yaoxian Valley. He did not waste any more time and went straight back to his family.

Having been away from his family for several years, Lu Jingkun's cultivation had long since been consolidated.

After emerging from seclusion, Lu Jingkun began researching how to upgrade the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array and how to renovate the family's spiritual land.

He has now moved more than a dozen sacred peaks from other places and placed them in the Lu family's mountain gate.

The spiritual veins on these spiritual peaks are of low grade, only one or two levels.

Lu Jingkun moved these spiritual peaks into the Lu family's mountain gate mainly to increase the array's core and enhance its power.

Of course, he also invested a large number of spirit stones into the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array during this process.

Doing all this is not enough. The materials that Lu Chengan obtained from Medicine Immortal Valley and Suspended Mirror Sect must be added before the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array can be upgraded to the fourth rank.

After returning to his family, Lu Cheng'an first met with Lu Jingkun.

"Jingkun, these are the materials you need to upgrade the grade of your family's protective mountain array. See if you're missing anything," Lu Chengan said with a smile.

He had collected all the materials needed to upgrade the family's protective array. After all, it concerned the safety of the family, so he naturally had to treat it with utmost care.

Lu Jingkun quickly checked the materials Lu Chengan had given him and found that their quality was even better than he had imagined.

“Uncle Cheng’an’s collected materials are fine, but I need Uncle Cheng’an’s help to refine these materials into array plates, array flags and array beads!” Lu Jingkun said.

Array plates, array flags, and array beads are all magical artifacts needed to set up spirit arrays. The Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array is of a rank as high as the fifth level.

In the Burning Flame Sect's inherited scriptures, once the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array is upgraded to the fourth-grade low-rank, it requires a fourth-grade low-rank magic weapon-level array plate, array flag, and array bead.

The investment required during this period was considerable, but if the Nine Luminaries Star Thunder Refining God Array were upgraded to the fourth-grade low level as recorded in the classic texts, the power of this array would become extremely terrifying.

At that time, the starlight and lightning generated by the formation will be enough to kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while the Star Chart can block the attacks of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Starlight Stream and Star Chart are the two main abilities of the Nine Luminaries Starlight Refining God Array.

In addition, this formation also has various other functions such as concealment, hallucination, and spirit gathering, but it is not as powerful as the Star Lightning Stream and the Star Chart.

“These are all minor matters. Just tell me what array plates, array flags, and array beads you need to refine, and I will begin refining them shortly!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

The array plates, array flags, and array beads are relatively easy to refine. With his current strength, it wouldn't take him long to refine a fourth-grade low-level array plate, array flag, and array bead.

"These are the array plates, array flags, and array beads that we will need. I'll trouble Uncle Cheng'an to help us refine them. Once these array plates, array flags, and array beads are refined, I can start working on upgrading the family's protective mountain array to the fourth-grade lower level!"

A glint of inspiration appeared in Lu Jingkun's eyes; he was extremely looking forward to upgrading the family's protective mountain array.

After learning about the family's protective mountain formation from Lu Jingkun, Lu Cheng'an went to Shi Ningyu's cave to give her the materials for refining the Three Elements Jade Purity Pill.

Once Shi Ningyu successfully refines the Three Yuan Jade Purity Pill, he can take this pill to improve his cultivation and shorten the time he spends in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Cheng'an did not stay in Shi Ningyu's cave for long. After leaving, he returned to his own cave and began refining the array plates, array flags, and array beads needed by Lu Jingkun. (End of Chapter)
