Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you should think this through carefully. It's very difficult for us to completely eliminate the harmful forces within this chaotic creature, and you may end up with nothing," True Monarch Lieyang kindly advised.

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Lu, you should think this through. Once the Blood-Maned Sky Bull’s corpse falls into your hands, it will be too late for you to regret it!” True Monarch Qiandie immediately advised.

"I've already thought it through. If any of you fellow Daoists want the flesh and blood of the Blood-Mane Sky Bull, you can take some from it!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

He had naturally thought it through. Even if True Lord Lieyang and the others cared about the corpse of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull, he would still try to obtain more of its corpse.

Because the Divine Jade Sect's inherited scriptures contain descriptions of chaotic creatures, he knew that the power within chaotic creatures could enhance the domain of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although the fire domain he has condensed is only the rudimentary form of the Nascent Soul realm, it is still the rudimentary form of the Nascent Soul realm. There is a high probability that he can refine the alien energy in the corpse of the Bloodmane Sky Bull and enhance his own domain.

“Since Fellow Daoist Lu has made up his mind, then hand over the corpse of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull to Fellow Daoist Lu!” said True Monarch Lieyang.

After Lord Lieyang handed over the corpse of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull to Lu Cheng'an, all the spiritual items they had obtained in the spatial rift were now divided up.

Afterwards, True Lord Lieyang, True Lord Qiongmiao, and True Lord Wanying personally went to Medicine Immortal Valley to ask Elder Wanyao to refine the Infant Transformation Grass into the Infant Transformation Pill.

Lu Cheng'an did not go, because he had already agreed that once the Elder of Ten Thousand Medicines finished refining the Nascent Soul Pill, he would only need one of them, and then True Monarch Qiongmiao could take it back to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

After that, Lu Cheng'an left Haoyang Sect and rushed back to his family.

After returning to his family's mountain gate, he briefly told the cultivators in the clan about his experiences during this period, and specifically instructed Lu Chengping to prepare for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the near future.

The Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines was a top-tier fourth-order alchemist. The Nascent Soul Pill was a low-grade fourth-order pill. Although the pill was difficult to refine, it was not a difficult task for the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines.

He was able to refine two batches of Nascent Soul Pills in about half a year.

Lu Cheng'an did not linger at the family's residence, and then he entered the cave dwelling of the underground lava river.

"Now let's see if the fire domain I've created can refine the corpse of the Bloodmane Sky Bull!"

Lu Cheng'an was somewhat excited. After expanding his fire domain, he took out the severed head of the Blood-Mane Sky Bull from his storage ring.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an activated the power of the Fire Domain, and after a short while, he felt the power contained in the head of the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull being gradually stripped away by the power of the Fire Domain.

Lu Cheng'an closed his eyes slightly, quietly sensing the change.

The power within the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull's skull was extremely unique. After this power merged with the fire domain that Lu Cheng'an had condensed, Lu Cheng'an clearly felt the increase in the power of the fire domain.

More importantly, Lu Cheng'an sensed that the power of the Fire Domain was expanding outward once again.

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

Only then did Lu Cheng'an activate the power of the Fire Domain to completely extract the power from the head of the Blood-Mane Heavenly Bull. At this time, the range of the Fire Domain expanded from the original nine zhang to nine zhang and two chi, increasing by two chi.

This area is small, but it has enhanced the power of the Fire Domain again, and at the same time increased the power given to Lu Cheng'an by more than half a percent.

And this was only the head of the Bloodmane Celestial Bull that had been refined; the body of the Bloodmane Celestial Bull was many times larger than its head.

If Lu Cheng'an were to refine the entire body of the Blood-Mane Celestial Ox, there would be a considerable chance that he could increase the range of the Fire Domain to ten zhang.

An increase of one zhang in range is already significant. If the range of the fire domain were increased to ten zhang, the power bestowed upon Lu Cheng'an would increase by at least 30%.

By then, Lu Cheng'an would truly have the ability to fight against cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an suppressed his restless emotions and took out one-third of the corpse behind the Blood-Mane Sky Bull, continuing to use the power of the Fire Domain to refine the power within the corpse.

The reason why not all of them were taken out was because the corpse of the Bloodmane Sky Bull was too large, and Lu Cheng'an's current fire domain could only cover one-third of the corpse.

Time passed slowly, and almost a year has gone by in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Lu Cheng'an completely refine the corpse of the Blood-Mane Sky Bull.

After the energy in the Blood-Maned Sky Bull's corpse merged with Lu Cheng'an's Fire Domain, the corpse turned into powder and was thrown into the surging lava river by Lu Cheng'an.

Just as Lu Cheng'an had predicted, after refining the entire corpse of the Blood-Maned Sky Bull, the range of his Fire Domain expanded from nine zhang to ten zhang.

However, the power of the Fire Domain did not increase his strength by 30%, but by 45%, which was 15% more than he had expected.

Lu Cheng'an believed that the power of the refined Bloodmane Celestial Bull had broken through his own limits, which was why he had such a great boost.

"With my current strength, if I were to fight against True Monarch Qiongmiao, my chances of winning should be quite high!"

Previously, when hunting the Blood-Mane Celestial Ox, Lu Cheng'an had witnessed the actions of two Nascent Soul Perfection Realm cultivators, Qiongmiao True Monarch and Lieyang True Monarch.

Although both of them were at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, there was a significant difference in their strength.

Perhaps because True Monarch Qiongmiao had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Perfection realm, her strength was much weaker than True Monarch Lieyang's.

Lu Cheng'an felt that if he unleashed all his power, he should have a good chance of defeating True Monarch Qiongmiao.

However, if he were to fight against True Lord Lieyang, his chances of winning would be extremely slim.

The Holy Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Transformation Demon King are even more powerful than the Blazing Sun True Monarch. Perhaps only when his cultivation breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage will he be confident of defeating the Holy Heart Ancestor and the Butterfly Transformation Demon King.

"It's time to head to the Ancient Desolate Sect!"

After checking the changes in his own strength, Lu Cheng'an left the underground lava river and sped towards the direction of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Over such a long period of time, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines has successfully refined two batches of Nascent Soul Pills.

The old man of ten thousand medicines has improved his alchemy skills once again. This time, he refined a total of eight pills from two batches of Nascent Soul Pills, which is two more than he had previously estimated.

However, this had nothing to do with Lu Cheng'an, and in the end, Lu Cheng'an was still only able to receive one Nascent Soul Pill.

Now, Qiongmiao Zhenjun has brought this Nascent Soul Pill back to the Ancient Desolate Sect for him.

In fact, True Monarch Qiongmiao had already sent a message to Lu Cheng'an a month earlier, but at that time Lu Cheng'an was refining the power of the Blood-Mane Heavenly Ox and did not immediately go to the Desolate Ancient Sect.

The Lu family and the Desolate Ancient Sect were relatively close, so Lu Cheng'an arrived at the Desolate Ancient Sect in a short time.

Perhaps because they had witnessed Lu Cheng'an's power in the spatial rift, the Ancient Desolate Sect now held him in even higher regard. Upon arriving at the Ancient Desolate Sect's Welcoming Peak, Lu Cheng'an was received this time by True Monarch Qiongmiao.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lu's Nascent Soul Pill. You can check it and see if there are any problems!" True Monarch Qiongmiao said with a smile.

After receiving the Nascent Soul Pill from True Monarch Qiongmiao, Lu Cheng'an immediately began to examine its quality.

The old man who knew ten thousand medicines was highly skilled in alchemy, and this Nascent Soul Pill was of very good quality.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist He. There's nothing wrong with this Nascent Soul Pill!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"It was nothing, Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't need to be so polite!"

True Monarch Qiongmiao smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder how Fellow Daoist Lu's research on the Blood-Maned Heavenly Ox's corpse is going? Is it possible to refine a fourth-order magic weapon or magic treasure?"

This is not only a question that True Monarch Qiongmiao wants to know, but also that True Monarch Lieyang and True Monarch Wanying want to know.

They also specifically instructed True Lord Qiongmiao to inquire about Lu Cheng'an's research progress on the Blood-Mane Celestial Beetle after meeting him.

"The power within the Bloodmane Sky Bull is too advanced. I overestimated my abilities and didn't manage to figure anything out!"

Lu Cheng'an gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "I heard that the Old Man of Ten Thousand Medicines refined a total of eight Nascent Soul Pills this time. If I had known, I would not have wanted the corpse of the Blood-Mane Sky Bull. Maybe I could have gotten another share of spiritual items to help condense the Nascent Soul."

Qiongmiao Zhenjun chuckled softly; Lu Cheng'an's answer was exactly what they had expected.

They had previously obtained the corpses of chaotic creatures, which were much weaker than the Bloodmane Sky Bull.

Even so, it was extremely troublesome for them to deal with, costing them a lot of energy and time, but the results were not much.

The Blood-Maned Sky Bull is much stronger, and dealing with its carcass will definitely be more troublesome.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level was not as high as theirs, so it was basically impossible for him to deal with the corpse of the Blood-Mane Sky Bull.

"We even tried to persuade Fellow Daoist Lu that day, but unfortunately your attitude was adamant. It's too late to regret it now!"

Qiongmiao Zhenjun smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, then said, "There is one more thing to tell Fellow Daoist Lu. The Xuanjing Sect wants to exchange the Nascent Soul Pill in its possession for the Cloud Water Yuan Pearl in Fellow Daoist Lu's possession. If Fellow Daoist Lu is willing to trade, Wanying Zhenjun will come in person to conduct the trade with Fellow Daoist Lu."

The Cloud Water Pearl is a water-attribute spiritual object, and this kind of spiritual object is only useful to cultivators who practice water-attribute techniques.

For cultivators who practice water-attribute techniques, the Cloud Water Yuan Pearl might be even more effective than the Nascent Soul Pill.

Currently, the Suspended Mirror Sect has a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage who practices water-attribute techniques. He has a very high chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if he takes the Nascent Soul Pill to break through, he will almost certainly not fail.

The reason why the Suspended Mirror Sect went to such lengths to make a deal with Lu Cheng'an was that if the Golden Core cultivator of the Suspended Mirror Sect broke through by consuming the Cloud Water Yuan Pearl, he could also cultivate a divine ability to the Great Perfection level!

It is no easy task for a Nascent Soul cultivator to cultivate a divine ability to perfection; it takes an unknown amount of time and effort.

If the Golden Core cultivator from the Suspended Mirror Sect breaks through by consuming the Cloud Water Essence Pearl, he can also cultivate a divine ability to the Great Perfection level. Therefore, the Suspended Mirror Sect would definitely be willing to help him exchange the Cloud Water Essence Pearl with Lu Cheng'an.

After learning the details of the matter from True Monarch Qiongmiao, Lu Cheng'an expressed his willingness to make a deal with the Suspended Mirror Sect.

Immediately, True Monarch Qiongmiao relayed a message to True Monarch Wanying, and Lu Chengan also sent a message to True Monarch Qiandie explaining his intentions.

Lu Cheng'an did not linger at the Desolate Ancient Sect after that; he quickly returned to his family with the Nascent Soul Pill.

At the same time, Wan Ying Zhenjun, who had received messages from Qiong Miao Zhenjun and Qian Die Zhenjun, immediately rushed to the Lu family with the Nascent Soul Pill.

The Suspended Mirror Sect obtained two spiritual items to aid in the condensation of the Nascent Soul: the Nascent Soul Transformation Pill and the Azure Spirit Liquid.

The Suspended Mirror Sect also has a cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage who cultivates a metal-attribute technique. Currently, that cultivator at the Golden Core Perfection stage who cultivates a metal-attribute technique is using Azure Spirit Liquid to break through his cultivation level in seclusion.

After returning to the Lu family's mountain gate, Lu Cheng'an immediately handed the Nascent Soul Pill to Lu Chengping.

Lu Chengping has been in seclusion in his cave for some time, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

He has now made ample preparations. After obtaining the Nascent Soul Pill, he spent three days adjusting his condition before consuming it and beginning his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

During this period, Wan Ying Zhenjun also personally went to the Lu family to trade with Lu Cheng'an for the Cloud Water Yuan Pearl, a spiritual object that helps condense a nascent soul.

True Monarch Wanying did not stay at the Lu family for too long, after all, there were still cultivators in the sect waiting to use the Cloud Water Pearl to break through their cultivation.

After Wanying Zhenjun left the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an did not leave the family's mountain gate, but instead began to help Lu Jingkun refine magic weapons.

Lu Jingkun needs to refine two magical artifacts in total. One is his natal magical artifact, the Mountain-Moving Whip, which, when combined with the supernatural power of Mountain-Moving, can easily move a spiritual peak.

The other magic weapon is the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, which is a purely offensive magic weapon. Lu Cheng'an has already helped Lu Jingkun collect the materials to refine these two magic weapons.

It's just that he was busy with other things before, so he hadn't been able to help Lu Jingkun refine it.

He planned to use this time to help Lu Jingkun refine these two magical treasures, while also waiting for news of Lu Chengping's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Chengping also had a very solid foundation, and he also cultivated the True Yang Body Refining Technique and the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique.

However, his talent was limited. Although he successfully cultivated this technique, his mastery of it was not high, and he was quite different from Lu Jingkun.

Even so, Lu Chengping's foundation was much stronger than that of other Golden Core cultivators, so his success rate in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm by taking the Nascent Soul Pill was still very high.

After Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Lu Jingkun, Lu Jingkun, who was still deduce the method of intercepting the spiritual energy of the underground magma river, stopped his deduction and rushed to Lu Cheng'an's cave.

"Uncle Cheng'an, do you have time to help me refine my natal magic weapon now?" Lu Jingkun asked with a hint of excitement.

"Now that I have time, thank you for your hard work these past few days!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled slightly at Lu Jingkun, and then took out all the materials for refining the Mountain-Driving Whip.

"Compared to Uncle Cheng'an, my work is nothing!" Lu Jingkun waved his hands repeatedly. (End of Chapter)
