Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

"I originally wanted to tell my husband about this, but I didn't expect him to say it first!"

A smile appeared on Shi Ningyu's face as she said, "Grandfather and Uncle are both getting old. Shouldn't we be able to come back before their lifespans run out?"

"You don't need to worry about that, we will definitely come back then!" Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.

His uncle and Shi Ningyu's grandfather still have a hundred years left before their lifespan ends, so Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun will definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm during this period.

At that time, these two people can replace him and Shi Ningyu in guarding Jinding Mountain.

Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun are definitely slightly weaker. During the time he and Shi Ningyu were away, they could seek support from the Yin Hua Sect.

Of course, it's too early to say these things. Maybe they can get longevity treasures on their trip to Mengyuan Prefecture!

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu both had the same idea, and after making a quick decision, they went to Dan Ding Sect together.

The Dan Ding Sect has greatly improved its strength thanks to the Lu family and Shi Ningyu, but it still has not been able to cultivate a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, this is normal; breaking through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage is not an easy task.

Even the Lu family doesn't have many cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage now.

Shi Ningyu's grandfather is nearing the end of his life. When Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu went to visit him, Shi Ningyu's grandfather invited some of the younger cultivators from the Dan Ding Sect to accompany them.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu became Daoist partners, Shi Ningyu did not return to Dan Ding Sect very often.

Now that Shi Ningyu's grandfather has little time left to live, he is worried that after he passes away, his granddaughter will completely abandon the Dan Ding Sect.

The main purpose of summoning the younger generation of Dan Ding Sect cultivators with outstanding cultivation talent is to save face for Shi Ningyu.

Shi Ningyu's grandfather's purpose was very clear, and Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu quickly saw through his intentions.

Lu Cheng'an felt he could understand; with him and Shi Ningyu around, the Dan Ding Sect's lineage could definitely be guaranteed to continue.

However, Shi Ningyu felt somewhat uncomfortable, as there was no need for her grandfather to do this, given her relationship with him.

However, as the gap between her cultivation level and that of her grandfather and other cultivators in the Dan Ding Sect widened, her relationship with her grandfather gradually changed.

However, Shi Ningyu did not reveal her true feelings, but assured her grandfather that she would take care of the Dan Ding Sect.

Whether her grandfather was still in the Dan Ding Sect or not, her attitude towards the Dan Ding Sect remained the same.

The relationship between Dan Ding Sect and Shi Ningyu is no secret. In fact, Shi Ningyu doesn't need to do anything. As long as Shi Ningyu is still around, Dan Ding Sect will not have any problems.

Shi Ningyu and Lu Chengan stayed at Dan Ding Sect for five days this time.

Apart from the first day when they were accompanied by other cultivators from the Dan Ding Sect, for the next four days only Lu Cheng'an and his granddaughter Shi Ningyu were with them.

During this time, Shi Ningyu also mentioned that she and Lu Chengan were going to leave together, but she did not say where they were going.

Grandfather did not ask in detail, but only told Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu to take care of each other and be careful in everything they did when they went out.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. When Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left Dan Ding Sect, their grandfather saw them off for a very long time.

After returning to the Lu family, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu did not go back to their cave dwelling, but went directly to Lu Wenhua's residence.

Lu Wenhua's situation is much better than that of Shi Ningyu's grandfather, because Lu Wenhua is no longer alone; he now has many descendants.

Lu Chengzhuo, the most talented cultivator among his descendants, has already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Wenhua is now very content.

Lu Chengzhuo is Lu Chengan's cousin, and Lu Chengzhuo is also quite outstanding.

Even without Lu Wenhua's instructions, Lu Wenhua believed that Lu Cheng'an would definitely take care of his cousin Lu Chengzhuo.

Therefore, the atmosphere was much more relaxed for Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu with Lu Wenhua.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu stayed at Lu Wenhua's residence for three days.

Three days later, Lu Cheng'an summoned Lu Wenxing, Lu Chengping, and Lu Jingkun to his cave dwelling and began to explain what had happened after he and Shi Ningyu left.

"I would like to trouble the clan chief to help me organize these materials. I need to take everything that the clan currently possesses with me!"

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he took out a jade slip from his storage ring. The jade slip contained the names of various spiritual objects.

These spiritual creatures are used to refine elixirs and materials for crafting magical artifacts.

After returning to Mengyuan Prefecture, Lu Cheng'an planned to further improve his weapon-refining skills so that he could refine fifth-order magic weapons and treasures as soon as possible.

Although the three states of Mengyuan are very prosperous, there are not many fifth-order weapon refiners.

Lu Cheng'an believed that if he could break through to become a fifth-order weapon refiner, his status in the three states of Mengyuan Prefecture would definitely be much higher.

Shi Ningyu is currently a fourth-tier top-grade alchemist, and she will now prepare to become a fifth-tier alchemist.

Generally, a low-grade fifth-rank pill only requires two or three kinds of low-grade fifth-rank spiritual herbs, so its value is not particularly high.

Shi Ningyu has a high talent for alchemy, and Lu Cheng'an believes that she can refine a low-grade fifth-rank pill with only a few materials.

The number of fifth-order alchemists in the three prefectures of Mengyuan Prefecture is much greater than that of fifth-order weapon refiners. Even Nascent Soul sects like Yinhua Sect have trained fifth-order alchemists.

"This is the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl I refined. Wearing this pearl can protect you from the invasion of Netherworld ghost energy. Below the passage between the two worlds in the Netherworld River, there are ghosts that I have subdued. After Ningyu and I leave, if the clan encounters any danger, you should wear the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl to enter the Netherworld. At that time, the ghosts in the Netherworld will naturally have a way to notify me!"

The main material for refining the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl is Pure Yang Heavenly Fire, which makes it much easier for Lu Cheng'an to refine the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl.

He refined a total of ten Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearls, enough for the clan to use for a long time.

“You don’t need to worry about things in the clan. Even if you and Ningyu leave the clan, Chengping and Jingkun are still there!” Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

Both Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun are at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, and both are extremely powerful.

Even without Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, both cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, no one in the Burial Immortal Land could rival Lu Chengping and Lu Jingkun.

"It's always better to be prepared. We should always be careful!" Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly and did not elaborate on the matter.

What he was worried about was not the Nascent Soul sects like the Ancient Desolate Sect, but the danger originating from the depths of the Burial Immortal Land.

After all, those buried there were at least comparable to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Things in the vast desert have returned to calm in recent years, and there has been no news from Yanzhou. There shouldn't be any major problems in the short term.

“Brother Chengping, Jingkun, you two are not far from breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. Although I told you to avoid taking Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pills to break through as much as possible, you can use Pure Yang Condensing Spirit Pills if you feel that there are problems with your breakthrough.”

"But when you break through, you must remember the things I told you to pay attention to. You must never risk your lives in order to comprehend the Great Dao!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

After their cultivation breakthroughs, both he and Shi Ningyu left behind their insights from those breakthroughs.

These are extremely valuable assets that can save future cultivators from many detours.

Lu Cheng'an had emphasized this matter many times before. If Shi Ningyu hadn't still chosen to take the risk, Lu Cheng'an wouldn't have repeatedly emphasized it to Lu Jingkun and the other person.

"Cheng'an, don't worry, Jingkun and I will pay attention to everything you've asked us to do!" Lu Chengping said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly. After giving instructions to Lu Wenxing and the other two, he returned to his cave.

Lu Wenxing was very quick. He quickly organized all the spiritual items that Lu Chengan needed, put them into a storage magic artifact, and handed them to Lu Chengan.

Lu Cheng'an needed a great many kinds and quantities of spiritual items, and his taking them away had some impact on the Lu family's financial situation.

However, as Lu Jingkun and Lu Chengping fused the four fifth-order spiritual vein beads that Lu Chengan brought back into the fourth-order spiritual veins of Taiyin Peak, Taiyang Peak, and Suixing Peak, these three peaks will soon give birth to new fifth-order spiritual veins.

With these three fifth-order spiritual veins, the Lu family will no longer have to worry about a lack of cultivation resources.

Two of the four fifth-tier spirit vein beads have been integrated into a fourth-tier spirit vein on Suixing Peak. This will greatly slow down the time it takes for this fourth-tier spirit vein to advance to a fifth-tier spirit vein, and will also make the spiritual energy contained in this fifth-tier spirit vein more concentrated.

The other two fifth-tier spirit vein beads were integrated into the fourth-tier spirit vein of Taiyin Peak and the fifth-tier spirit vein of Taiyang Peak.

The fifth-order spiritual veins of Sun Peak were cultivated using relatively incomplete fifth-order spiritual vein beads, so their natural foundation was relatively weak. However, this situation will change after a new fifth-order spiritual vein bead is integrated into them.

After obtaining the necessary materials, Lu Cheng'an did not waste any time and left the Lu family with Shi Ningyu.

Not many people knew that Lu Cheng'an had returned to the Lu family, and his departure from the Lu family with Shi Ningyu did not attract much attention.

“Ningyu, below us lies the Netherworld River, filled with ghostly energy. Once we enter, you will use your pure Yang energy to resist the invasion of this ghostly energy!” Lu Cheng’an said.

The pure yang energy of a Nascent Soul cultivator can resist the invasion of Netherworld ghost energy. Generally speaking, only cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm can enter the Netherworld.

Of course, there are also some special cultivators, such as Lu Cheng'an, who was able to resist the invasion of Netherworld Ghost Qi when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

After Shi Ningyu gave a soft reply, she and Lu Cheng'an entered the Netherworld River.

Lu Cheng'an did not disturb the ghosts in the Netherworld River. He and Shi Ningyu quickly arrived at the location of the passage between the two worlds, and then quickly passed through the passage and entered the Netherworld.

After meeting the Black Sun and the Ghost Wood Demon King, Lu Cheng'an gave them specific instructions: if any cultivators from the mortal world entered this place with the Pure Yang Heavenly Fire Pearl he had refined, they needed to immediately go to Qingluo City to find the Green-Faced Ghost King and have him find a way to notify him.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu did not linger at the exit of the interdimensional passage for long. After explaining to the ghosts, including Hei Yang, Lu Cheng'an left with Shi Ningyu.

Not long after, Lu Cheng'an arrived in Qingluo City with Shi Ningyu.

"This place is Qingluo City, and the passage connecting to the mortal world is located in Qingluo City!"

Lu Cheng'an turned to Shi Ningyu with a faint smile and said, "The Green-Faced Ghost King's cultivation is at the mid-stage of the fifth rank. He is very strong. We need his help to travel between the Netherworld and the Yang World. I will take you to see him now!"

As Lu Cheng'an spoke, he led Shi Ningyu into Qingluo City.

"Senior Lu, the city lord knew you were coming and specifically instructed me to take you to him after you enter the city!"

As soon as Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu entered the city, a ghost at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm appeared in front of them.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Green Face. Now, please lead us to him!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled faintly and followed the ghost toward the residence of the Green-Faced Ghost King.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu met the Green-Faced Ghost Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist with the green face, this is my Daoist partner, Shi Ningyu!"

"Ningyu, this is the Fellow Daoist with the Green Face I told you about!"

After introducing themselves, Lu Cheng'an laughed loudly and said, "My wife and I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Qingmian again. If Fellow Daoist Qingmian needs anything, please feel free to ask, and we will do our best to help you!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too kind. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

The Green-Faced Ghost King smiled faintly and said, "However, I do have something I need Fellow Daoist Green-Faced's help with. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to help me find a mid-grade fifth-rank Yin-Yang Profound Iron."

The Yin-Yang Mystic Iron contains the power of extreme Yin and extreme Yang, and can be used by cultivators in both the Netherworld and the mortal world.

However, such treasures can be formed in both the underworld and the mortal world. However, such treasures are extremely difficult to form. Even if they can appear in both worlds, they are still extremely rare.

The Green-Faced Ghost King had been searching for news of the Yin-Yang Profound Iron for a long time, but so far he had not found anything.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qingmian, once I leave the Netherworld, I will definitely help you find the Yin-Yang Profound Iron."

After agreeing, Lu Cheng'an said with a smile, "I have another matter I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Qingmian for help with. I would like Fellow Daoist Qingmian to help me inquire about areas with abundant spatial power in the Netherworld."

The space of the Netherworld is very different from that of the mortal world. After Lu Cheng'an improved his understanding of the Dao of Space, he felt this difference when he entered the Netherworld.

He now wants to further improve his understanding of the Dao of Space, so he wants to study the space of the Netherworld.

There are still some areas in the Netherworld where spatial power is concentrated. The Green-Faced Ghost King already knew some information about this, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out the specifics. Therefore, he quickly agreed.

The Netherworld was not suitable for cultivators from the mortal realm to stay for too long. After Lu Cheng'an reached an agreement with the Green-Faced Ghost King, he took Shi Ningyu and left the Netherworld, entering the Yin Hua Sect. (End of Chapter)
