Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

The two sisters, He Huan and He Ying, are not particularly talented in cultivation. Their current cultivation level of late Golden Core stage is inseparable from Lu Chengping's help.

After the two sisters reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, they felt extremely weak in their ability to break through to the perfection of the Golden Core realm.

Just then, Lu Jingtong cultivated the third-tier Blood Essence Rice.

The spiritual energy of Suixing Peak, which was designated as the Lu family's spiritual herb garden, is extremely rich. Even the spiritual energy concentration of the two main peaks, Taiyin and Taiyang, may not be able to compare with that of Suixing Peak.

Such an environment rich in spiritual energy is extremely suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs.

In addition, Lu Jingtong had been researching how to upgrade the quality of Blood Essence Rice to the third tier, and after putting in so much effort, he finally achieved this.

After Lu Jingtong developed the third-tier blood essence rice, he began large-scale cultivation.

This grade of blood essence rice is extremely valuable, and compared to other third-tier spiritual herbs, its growth cycle is not particularly long.

If Lu Jingtong takes good care of it, he can shorten the growth cycle of the third-tier blood essence rice to ten years.

The first batch of three-stage blood essence rice planted by Lu Jingtong had just matured when it was completely replaced by He Huan and her sister.

They had already made the decision to have children at that time.

However, they did not consume a large quantity of Tier 3 Blood Essence Rice, so they did not immediately conceive offspring, but waited until Lu Chengping's cultivation broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

During this period, secret techniques were naturally used to assist in the process.

Because it is not easy for high-level cultivators to conceive offspring, they often need secret techniques to assist them.

The two sisters, He Huan and He Ying, conceived around the same time, and now, three years into their pregnancies, they are very close to giving birth.

Lu Chengping's cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul stage, and He Huan and He Ying were both late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Therefore, the time it took for them to conceive their offspring was much longer than that of ordinary people.

If Shi Ningyu were to have children, her pregnancy would definitely last longer than He Huan's and He Ying's.

Female cultivators cannot cultivate during pregnancy, and the unborn child will absorb the mother's spiritual energy. If there is not enough spiritual energy-rich food to replenish the body during pregnancy, the female cultivator's cultivation level may regress.

This is also an important reason why high-level female cultivators are unwilling to have children.

He Huan and He Ying were willing to have children at this time because they both felt that their cultivation had reached its limit.

Moreover, since their husbands' cultivation had already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, they certainly wouldn't worry about food containing spiritual energy during their pregnancies; their husbands would definitely be able to obtain these things.

"Congratulations, Brother Chengping! This is truly wonderful news!"

Lu Cheng'an laughed heartily and said, "When the children are born, I will definitely prepare a nice gift for them!"

Lu Cheng'an still has quite a few good things in his possession, some of which are spiritual items used to enhance one's foundation.

This kind of spiritual object can be used in infancy, so that when they enter the cultivation stage, they will have a sufficiently solid foundation.

After that, not only did his cultivation speed increase significantly, but he was also able to cultivate to a higher level.

"Then I'll thank Cheng'an on behalf of the unborn child!" Lu Chengping said with a smile.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Cheng'an, after all, it was beneficial to his child.

After that, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Jingkun parted ways, and Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave alone.

Before they parted, he specifically instructed Lu Chengping to inform him promptly once the child was born.

After entering the cave, Lu Cheng'an began to devote himself to cultivation.

He now wants to seize the time to raise his cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, at which time his strength will be greatly enhanced.

If his cultivation had broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, he wouldn't have so many concerns and could directly stop the Holy Heart Ancestor from breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an, who was in seclusion, received a message from Lu Chengping, saying that his two children had been born safely.

Lu Chengping was overjoyed to have a son and a daughter. He had high expectations for his children, but what he valued even more was that they would live a happy and healthy life.

Therefore, Lu Chengping named his daughter Lu Jingle and his son Lu Jingkang.

Although they have just been born, they already possess extremely strong spiritual potential, and they are destined to embark on the path of immortality in the future.

After receiving Lu Chengping's message, Lu Cheng'an summoned Shi Ningyu from the cave, and the couple went together to visit Lu Chengping's newborn child.

Although many of the high-level cultivators in the Lu family are married, only Lu Chengping and his wife have children.

This is mainly because the two sisters, He Huan and He Ying, felt that their spiritual path had been severed.

Lu Cheng'an's Daoist partner, Shi Ningyu, is currently at the peak of her life, and neither Lu Cheng'an nor his wife has any intention of having children.

The situation of Lu Jingkun and his wife is similar to that of Lu Cheng'an and his wife.

Lu Jingkun's Daoist partner is Jiang Hongmian, who comes from a rogue cultivator background. Her cultivation talent is not as good as Lu Jingkun's, but her temperament is much stronger.

Since she and Lu Jingkun became Daoist partners, her fate has undergone tremendous changes.

Jiang Hongmian's cultivation has now reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, making her one of the few late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the Lu family.

Given her temperament, if she were to use a spiritual object that assists in condensing a nascent soul to break through to the nascent soul realm, the success rate would be extremely high.

After seeing Lu Chengping's newborn child, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu presented Lu Chengping with the gifts they had prepared.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng'an and his wife returned to their cave to cultivate in seclusion.

However, Lu Chengping's joy did not subside. A month later, he held a full-moon celebration for his child, but it was limited to the Lu family.

The Lu family now has a large number of cultivators, so even though only Lu family members participated in the full moon celebration, it was still very lively.

After celebrating the full moon of his two children, Lu Chengping adjusted his mindset and began to focus his main attention on cultivation, leaving his children in the care of their mother.

Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun had only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and apart from the period of consolidating their cultivation, they had spent almost all their time researching spirit arrays after their breakthrough.

It wasn't until recently that they completed setting up all the spirit arrays needed by their clan.

Next, they will work hard to cultivate supernatural powers and improve their combat abilities.

In addition, one must continue to cultivate and improve one's cultivation level as much as possible.

Two years passed quickly, with the sun rising and the moon setting.

During this period, besides focusing on his cultivation, Lu Cheng'an also kept a close eye on the situation of the Sacred Heart Ancestor. Now, two years later, he learned from the Hundred Weapons True Monarch that the Sacred Heart Ancestor had only just begun his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The Holy Heart Ancestor was also worried that he would be disturbed by outsiders when he was breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, so he had made preparations.

The Sacred Heart Sect's mountain gates have been completely sealed off, and the Sacred Heart Sect's Nascent Soul cultivators, including True Monarch Shengyang, have been on guard against external attacks.

Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sect also discovered that the Butterfly Demon King led a group of powerful fourth-tier demon beasts from the Hong'e Mountains away, and they completely disappeared after arriving near the Sacred Heart Sect.

This proves that the old man of ten thousand medicines' previous guess was true, and that the Butterfly Demon King and the Sacred Heart Ancestor may have reached some kind of agreement long ago.

If Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect were to attack the Sacred Heart Sect at this time, they would certainly be blocked by the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, including the Butterfly Transformation Demon King.

The Sacred Heart Sect is already extremely powerful. If it were to receive assistance from the Butterfly Transformation Demon King and other demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains, even if the Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect attacked with all their might, the chances of them breaking through the Sacred Heart Sect's mountain gate defenses would be extremely slim.

After receiving the news, Lu Cheng'an quickly informed Shi Ningyu and the other two, and then continued his cultivation without being affected in any way.

Just as he had told Lu Jingkun and the other two, even if the Holy Heart Ancestor's cultivation had truly broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, the chances of him taking action against their Lu family were extremely slim.

Moreover, judging from the situation of the Sacred Heart Ancestor, the probability of him successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm is extremely low.

It takes a long time for a Nascent Soul cultivator to break through to the Divine Transformation realm. From the time Lu Cheng'an received the news to the final result of the Sacred Heart Ancestor's breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm, a full two years had passed.

"As expected, the Holy Heart Old Monster failed to break through!"

Inside the cave, after receiving messages from Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect, Lu Cheng'an immediately showed a knowing smile.

At the same time, a shadow also appeared in his mind, for the Holy Heart Ancestor's strength was extremely powerful.

Lu Cheng'an believed that the Holy Heart Ancestor must have made thorough preparations when he chose to break through, but even so, he still failed to break through.

This shows just how difficult it is for a Nascent Soul cultivator to successfully break through to the Deity Transformation realm.

Lu Cheng'an has already condensed the rudimentary form of a domain possessed by a Nascent Soul cultivator, which will significantly reduce the difficulty for him to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.

Even so, he was still somewhat moved after learning that the Holy Heart Ancestor had failed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After the Sacred Heart Ancestor failed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Ancient Desolate Sect and other Nascent Soul sects learned more about the Sacred Heart Ancestor's attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

The Holy Heart Ancestor died under the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation, and did not even survive until the Pure Yang Lightning Tribulation arrived. His physical body, cultivation, magic power, and nascent soul were all reduced to nothingness under the Pure Yang Fire Tribulation.

After the news was confirmed, Nascent Soul cultivators from Nascent Soul sects such as the Ancient Desolate Sect invited Lu Cheng'an to discuss whether or not to take action against the Sacred Heart Sect.

After losing the Holy Heart Ancestor, the Holy Heart Sect's strength was greatly weakened.

If they were to join forces to attack the Sacred Heart Sect at this time, the probability of them breaking through the sect's gates would not be small.

But the proposal was quickly rejected because the Butterfly Demon King of the Hong'e Mountains was still alive.

The Demon King of Butterfly Transformation could not possibly stand idly by while Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect attacked the Sacred Heart Sect.

Because of the Ancient Desolate Sect and other Nascent Soul sects, the Sacred Heart Sect and the demonic beasts of the Hong'e Mountains automatically formed an unbreakable alliance.

Unless there is a major upheaval in Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Taizhou, the alliance between the Sacred Heart Sect and the Hong'e Mountains cannot be broken.

After this matter came to an end without any resolution, the cultivation world of Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Taizhou returned to complete peace.

Lu Cheng'an and the Lu family behind him would not provoke any conflict. Lu Cheng'an had been cultivating diligently in his cave on Sun Peak, hoping to raise his cultivation to the late Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

Time flies, and half a century has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level was very close to breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In the past sixty years, the Lu family has also undergone considerable changes. First of all, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Lu family's mountain gate has greatly increased.

The two fourth-order spirit arrays, the Spirit Interception Array and the Earth Mother Spirit Transformation Array, finally came into play, allowing nine fourth-order spirit veins to be nurtured within the Lu family's mountain gate over the past half-century.

If we add the fourth-order spiritual veins that were already in the Lu family's mountain gate, the number of fourth-order spiritual veins in the Lu family's mountain gate has now reached as many as fourteen.

Only Nascent Soul sects like Haoyang Sect and Tianjian Sect can match the number of such fourth-order spiritual veins.

All of these fourth-order spiritual veins are concentrated in the nine main peaks, including the Sun and Moon. Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping are now focusing on their own cultivation, but they have also spent some time on the spiritual array.

As per Lu Cheng'an's request, they are working hard to deduce the method of merging these fourth-order spiritual veins into fifth-order spiritual veins.

However, there's no need to rush this matter for now. After all, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level hasn't broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage yet, while Lu Jingkun and the other two only have the early Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

Then there's the situation of the Lu family's Golden Core cultivators.

After years of development, the Lu family now has thirty-eight Golden Core cultivators.

Lu Yongyuan, Lu Yongzheng, and other talented cultivators from the Lu family have all broken through to the Golden Core realm.

They were still relatively young, and the age at which they broke through to the Golden Core realm was not much different from that of Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu.

Of course, their ability to break through to the Golden Core realm at such a young age is not only due to their own talent, but also greatly related to the current strength of the Lu family.

After all, from the moment they began cultivating until they reached the Golden Core realm, they have basically never had to worry about cultivation resources.

One of the most noteworthy is Lu Chengping's two children, Lu Jingle and Lu Jingkang. They are only in their early thirties, but their cultivation has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

These are the most talented junior cultivators the Lu family has ever produced, which is also largely due to their parents.

The Lu family currently has five cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection stage: Lu Chengbai, Lu Jingxiu, Lu Jinglin, Lu Jingtong, and Lu Wenxing.

Of these five, apart from Lu Chengbo, whose chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm are rather slim, the remaining four all have a considerable hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Among them, the siblings Lu Jinglin and Lu Jingxiu are the most talented, but they do not have any advantage in terms of resource allocation.

Because Lu Wenxing is an elder of the Lu family and also the current patriarch of the Lu family.

If they both break through to the Nascent Soul realm at the same time, the spiritual items that help them condense their Nascent Souls will definitely be given to Lu Wenxing first.

Next is Lu Jingtong.

Lu Jingtong's cultivation has just broken through to the Golden Core Perfection realm, because his family has poured a lot of resources into him.

The main reason the Lu family did this was because he was the only third-tier top-grade spirit plant master in the Lu family.

The numerous medicinal herbs cultivated by the Lu family on Mount Suixing all require Lu Jingtong's care. (End of Chapter)
