Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Xu Lin was a Nascent Soul cultivator whom Lu Cheng'an met at a trade fair hosted by Shenyun Daojun.

Xu Lin's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Like Daoist Shenyun, he is a rogue cultivator. He wants to ask Lu Cheng'an for help to upgrade the grade of his natal magic weapon to the mid-grade of the fifth rank.

The refining fee he prepared for Lu Cheng'an was a portion of mid-grade fifth-rank Qingyuan soil.

The value of mid-grade fifth-rank Qingyuan Soil is higher than that of mid-grade fifth-rank Tiangang Dust Qi. However, he wanted Lu Cheng'an to refine a mid-grade fifth-rank magic weapon, so using Qingyuan Soil as a refining fee was appropriate.

Lu Cheng'an was previously refining a natal magic weapon for Zhou Mingqi, so he placed Xu Lin at the end of the list.

During this time, Xu Lin had been waiting for news from Lu Cheng'an. After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, he was very excited and immediately gave Lu Cheng'an a positive reply.

The next morning, Xu Lin arrived at the cave dwelling courtyard that Lu Chengan had rented.

Although the magic weapon that Xu Lin asked Lu Chengan to refine was a mid-grade fifth-order magic weapon, the difficulty of refining this mid-grade fifth-order magic weapon was not high.

However, since it is a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon, it takes quite a bit of time to refine.

More than six months had passed by the time Lu Chengan helped Xu Lin upgrade the grade of his natal magic weapon to the middle grade of the fifth rank.

Xu Lin was quite satisfied with Lu Cheng'an's weapon-refining skills. After handing over the refining fee of Qingyuan soil to Lu Cheng'an, he wanted to ask Lu Cheng'an to help him refine a second mid-grade fifth-order magic weapon.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, could you help me refine this mid-grade fifth-rank Yi Wood Divine Pearl?"

Xu Lin took out a cyan jade slip from his storage ring. The jade slip contained the method for refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl.

After receiving the jade slip, Lu Cheng'an quickly reviewed the crafting method of the Yi Wood Divine Pearl. He then became quite interested in this mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon.

The Yi Wood Divine Pearl is an auxiliary magic treasure containing two spaces: one space can store a cultivator's mana, and the other space can store Yi Wood Divine Essence.

The Yi Wood Divine Essence is transformed from the Yi Wood Divine Pearl using the cultivator's magical power, and its main function is to heal the cultivator's injuries.

The mana stored in the fifth-grade mid-level Yi Wood Divine Pearl can instantly restore the mana depleted by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, the Yi Wood Divine Essence can instantly restore a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from fatal injuries.

The only thing that Lu Cheng'an found regrettable was that the Yi Wood Divine Pearl was a wood-attribute magic treasure, and it was only suitable for cultivators who practiced wood-attribute techniques.

“I can refine this Yi Wood Divine Pearl. I wonder what the refining fee is, Fellow Daoist Xu?” Lu Cheng’an asked.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu can truly refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl, I can give you this seedling of the Crimson Wutong Spirit Wood and this inheritance of a fifth-grade top-quality spirit plant master!" Xu Lin said excitedly.

The seedlings of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood have also reached the fifth-grade low-level, which is an extremely rare spirit wood with a very high growth potential.

However, cultivating this kind of spirit tree is an extremely difficult task.

Xu Lin cultivates a wood-attribute technique. He was very fortunate to have entered the cave left behind by a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm after his death.

The seedlings of Qingyuan Soil and Chiwu Spirit Wood, as well as the inheritance of the fifth-order spirit plant master, all originated from that cave. It was also in that cave that he broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although Xu Lin cultivates wood-attribute techniques, he is not a spirit plant master.

The inheritance of a fifth-tier top-grade spirit plant master is indeed very precious, but Xu Lin does not value it. He has already traded this inheritance with several Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Okay, but you need to give me the seedling of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood first. Also, I need to study the refining method of the Yi Wood Divine Pearl. I will send you a message when I start refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl,” Lu Cheng’an said.

The seedlings of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Tree are quite valuable, but the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Tree seedlings in Xu Lin's hands have lost much of their vitality due to improper preservation, and their value has been greatly reduced.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu Lin has not yet been able to sell the seedlings of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood.

Upon hearing Lu Chengan's proposed conditions, Xu Lin immediately agreed, feeling that Lu Chengan's request was not excessive.

After Xu Lin left, Lu Cheng'an immediately returned to his cave and quickly replenished his depleted magical power.

Once he recovered, he immediately released his Dao Domain and then took out the seedling of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood, which had suffered severe loss of life force.

"After waiting for so long, I can finally cultivate the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique!"

The Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique is mainly used to enhance the Dao Domain. The stronger a Nascent Soul cultivator's Dao Domain, the stronger their combat power.

As his cultivation level improved, Lu Cheng'an's Dao Domain also expanded considerably. It now spans 863 zhang, surpassing many mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Of course, the main reason why he was able to possess such a large Dao Domain in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm was that he had already condensed a Dao Domain when he was in the Nascent Soul realm.

For Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique, there are certain requirements for the power of their Dao Domain. If a cultivator's Dao Domain is not strong enough, and they forcibly cultivate the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique, it may lead to the collapse of their own Dao Domain.

Lu Cheng'an's Dao Domain reached 863 zhang, such a powerful Dao Domain was definitely enough for him to cultivate the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique.

Lu Cheng'an had been studying the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique for a long time, but he had not been able to cultivate this supernatural power because he lacked Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood.

He has now successfully obtained the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood and will soon be able to cultivate this divine ability to the entry level.

The initial stage of the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique is not easy, as it requires the cultivator to successfully integrate the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood into their own Dao Domain.

After taking out the seedling of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood, Lu Cheng'an placed it in his own Dao Domain. Then, he chanted incantations and made a series of hand seals to begin merging the seedling of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood with his own Dao Domain.

He was already very familiar with the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique, and his Dao Domain power was also strong enough. Although the process of integrating the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood into his Dao Domain was quite dangerous, there were no problems from beginning to end.

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

"I've finally mastered the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique!"

Lu Cheng'an felt a surge of joy upon sensing the Crimson Wutong Spirit Wood that had taken root completely in the Dao Domain.

The main function of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood is to strengthen a cultivator's Dao Domain and purify its power, allowing it to exert even greater strength.

Lu Cheng'an has only cultivated the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique to the entry level. The process of purifying the Dao Domain power with the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood is still very slow.

As his cultivation of the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique deepened, and the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood within his Dao Domain grew increasingly powerful, the purification speed of the Crimson Phoenix Spirit Wood for his Dao Domain's power would also accelerate. After mastering the basics of the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique, Lu Cheng'an ceased his cultivation of this divine ability.

After that, he began to study the method of refining the magical artifact, the Yi Wood Divine Pearl.

The Yi Wood Divine Pearl is a mid-grade fifth-tier auxiliary magic weapon, and its effects are extremely powerful.

If Xu Lin possessed such a support-type magic weapon, his strength could increase by at least half.

The crafting difficulty of this magical artifact is also quite high; Lu Cheng'an felt it was comparable to the crafting difficulty of the Netherworld God-Slaying Needle.

He needs to do some more research before he can be more confident in refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl.

Two months later, Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Xu Lin, asking him to come to his cave. He was now confident that he could refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl.

Xu Lin prepared two sets of materials for refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl, worried that the weapon refiner he had found would not be able to successfully refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl on the first try.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, these are the two sets of materials I've prepared for refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl. You only need to use these two sets to refine one Yi Wood Divine Pearl. If you succeed in refining it on your first try, then the remaining set of materials will also be yours," Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xu, I will definitely help you refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl."

Unlike Xu Lin's nervousness, Lu Cheng'an was very relaxed. He had made full preparations and was confident that he could refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl.

While Lu Cheng'an was refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl, Xu Lin did not leave Lu Cheng'an's cave. However, he did not disturb Lu Cheng'an, but waited for Lu Cheng'an to finish refining it in the meditation room of the cave.

The Yi Wood Divine Pearl was more difficult to refine than Xu Lin's natal magic weapon. It took Lu Cheng'an more than nine months to successfully refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl.

Lu Cheng'an made no mistakes in refining the Yi Wood Divine Pearl, and the quality of the Yi Wood Divine Pearl he produced was also quite good, which made Xu Lin very satisfied.

As Xu Lin had said before refining it, he did not take back the remaining materials, and he also handed over the fifth-level spirit plant master's inheritance to Lu Cheng'an as promised.

After helping Xu Lin refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl, Lu Cheng'an did not plan to refine any more fifth-order magic treasures for other Nascent Soul cultivators, because there were still a few months left before the start of the Myriad Treasures Gathering in Lingxu City.

While he was helping other Nascent Soul cultivators refine magical treasures, Venerable Tianyun and Elder Wanshi were also constantly busy.

Besides attending the trade fair held by Nascent Soul cultivators in Lingxu City, they were also inquiring about the Lingxu City Wanbao Association.

After Lu Cheng'an helped Xu Lin refine the Yi Wood Divine Pearl, he sent a message to Tianyun Shangren and the other person. After receiving their reply, he went to Tianyun Shangren's cave.

"Thank you both so much for your help during this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on helping people refine magic weapons!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're too kind. This is all we should do," said Venerable Tianyun with a smile.

They were happy to see Lu Chengan refine fifth-tier magic weapons. The more fifth-tier magic weapons Lu Chengan refined, the faster his weapon-refining skills would improve.

Once they return, Lu Cheng'an will find it easier to help them refine the fifth-grade mid-level magic weapon from the Gathering Yin Pool.

"This is the list of treasures to be auctioned at the Lingxu City Treasure Fair. Take a look, and if there are any treasures you need, you can start preparing now!"

Master Tianyun handed Lu Cheng'an a jade slip, which contained records of the various treasures to be auctioned at the Wanbao Fair.

With less than a year to go before the Wanbao Fair, the Lingxu Sect has already decided on the treasures to be sold at the fair.

The Lingxu Sect may make some adjustments to the items to be auctioned next, but there certainly won't be any major changes.

After receiving the jade slip, Lu Cheng'an immediately activated his primordial spirit to examine it.

When he saw the catalog of the treasures to be auctioned, he was immediately shocked.

Because there are many kinds of treasures, and many of them are sixth-tier treasures.

Tier 5 treasures are the mainstream of the Wanbaohui. The auction catalog lists no fewer than 10,000 types of Tier 5 treasures to be auctioned, and there are more than one copy of each type of treasure.

Lu Cheng'an also wanted to purchase some materials for refining Pure Yang Concentrating Spirit Pills and finished Pure Yang Concentrating Spirit Pills, as well as materials he needed to upgrade the grade of his natal magic weapon, and so on.

Under normal circumstances, it would take him an extremely long time to collect all of these materials.

However, after looking through the treasure catalog at the Wanbao Fair, he discovered that all the materials he needed were up for auction.

The materials he needs are mostly of low to mid-grade fifth rank, and their starting bids are not high.

However, Lu Cheng'an was unsure how high the prices of these treasures would rise once the auction began, and he wasn't very confident that he could buy all the treasures he needed.

"Fellow Daoist Lu must be shocked! The variety and quantity of treasures at this Wanbao Fair are enormous. I was stunned when I saw all the treasures to be auctioned!" Master Tianyun said with a smile after seeing Lu Cheng'an's reaction.

"I am indeed extremely shocked, but unfortunately I don't have much money on me and can't buy much!" Lu Cheng'an sighed softly.

"We're not much different from you, and the treasures we can buy are really limited!" the old man of ten thousand corpses said helplessly.

During this period, he and Tianyun Laogui participated in many trade fairs among Nascent Soul cultivators, and they had already used up a lot of the resources they brought with them when they left the sect.

Moreover, they had previously consumed a lot of resources in order to enable Lu Chengan to refine magical treasures such as the Yin Gathering Pool.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please take a careful look at this auction catalog and select the treasures you wish to purchase in advance, so as not to lose out once the Treasure Fair begins."

Master Tianyun and his companion have had this treasure catalog for some time now, and they have already selected the treasures they will auction next.

Not long after, Master Tianyun and his companion left Lu Cheng'an's cave.

After deciding on the treasure he wanted to purchase according to what Master Tianyun had said, Lu Cheng'an began to cultivate the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique.

The Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique is an auxiliary divine ability. If he cultivates this divine ability to the minor completion stage, his strength will increase significantly.

After the Wanbao Conference ends, they will go with Zhou Hongyu into the outer void to hunt Flamehorn Fire Deer. This process will definitely be full of dangers, and he must do his best to improve his strength.

Lu Cheng'an had already studied the Crimson Phoenix Refining Void Technique before, and he was very familiar with its cultivation methods. A few days before the Wanbao Gathering began, he finally cultivated this divine ability to the minor completion stage. (End of Chapter)
