Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 53 Future Planning (Please continue reading and recommend!)

Lu Wenxing planned to personally explore the vicinity of Chiyan Mountain. If he could find new mineral deposits, it would greatly alleviate the pressure on the family's cultivation resources.

If he can't find it, he'll think of other ways.

"The spiritual veins of Crimson Smoke Mountain are only at the first level, which may not be enough to support the clan leader's daily cultivation needs. When does the clan leader plan to upgrade the spiritual veins of Crimson Smoke Mountain?" Lu Wensheng asked in a deep voice.

Without sufficient spiritual energy to support cultivation, it is difficult for a cultivator to improve their cultivation level.

Cultivators can cultivate low-grade spiritual veins to high-grade ones, but this requires a great deal of cultivation resources, the most basic of which is a second-grade spirit-gathering array.

Such formations are not cheap; even the lowest-grade, second-tier low-level spirit-gathering formation requires at least four figures in spirit stones.

The Lu family had spent all their spirit stones on purchasing foundation-building items for Lu Wenxing, and now they didn't have many spirit stones left.

"Let's put aside the matter of cultivating second-tier spiritual veins for now. My cultivation has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and I still need time to hone my cultivation. There's no need to rush to improve the grade of my spiritual veins."

Lu Wenxing quickly rejected Lu Wensheng's proposal, mainly because of the family's financial difficulties.

After discussing the major issues concerning the future development of the family, the Lu family members also talked about some relatively minor matters.

For example, the funerals of the cultivators who died for the family were re-held, the celebration of Lu Wenxing's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm, and the matter of the guest elder Zhou Changshu deserting in the face of battle.

Zhou Changshu is a first-grade alchemist of superior quality. He has not been recruited by the Lu family as a guest elder for long, so he naturally does not have much affection for the Lu family.

Therefore, after learning that the Lu family had provoked the bandits of Green Flame Valley, he had no intention of sticking with the Lu family and quickly fled from them.

At that time, the Lu family simply didn't have the energy to deal with Zhou Changshu, but the situation is different now.

With Lu Wenxing becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Lu family also rose to become a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan once again. Naturally, they would have to reconsider Zhou Changshu's defection.

The activities of independent cultivators are unpredictable, and Zhou Changshu has not shown his face since leaving the Lu family, making it difficult for the Lu family to find him.

Fortunately, Zhou Changshu is not that important to the Lu family, so even if they cannot find him, it will not have any impact on the Lu family.

The first thing the Lu family needs to do now is to hold a new funeral for the cultivators who died for the family. At the same time, the Lu family also wants to take this opportunity to pay homage to the Lu family's ancestors.

Lu Wenxing's cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and the Lu family once again became a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan. Naturally, this important event had to be told to the spirits of the Lu family's ancestors.

"The funerals for Wenying and the others will be held in three days. The Foundation Establishment celebration can be a small affair. Once we've finished these two matters, we'll immediately reopen the Black Pine Mountain Market!"

Lu Wenxing spoke gently and quickly made arrangements for what needed to be done next.

After Lu Wenxing finished discussing with the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Lu family, he quickly informed the other cultivators of the Lu family about their arrangements.

Because of family matters, Lu Cheng'an did not return directly to Huohuai Mountain, but stayed at Chiyan Mountain to prepare for the funeral with the cultivators of his clan.

The bandits of Black Pine Mountain caused the death of one Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator in the Lu family, and the bandits of Green Flame Valley caused the death of five Qi Refining mid-stage cultivators in the Lu family. Neither of their funerals were held in a grand manner.

Taking advantage of Lu Wenxing's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm, Lu Wenxing and the others unanimously decided to hold a new funeral for their ancestors, pay respects to their spirits, and report on the family's current situation. Following the Lu family funeral, a Foundation Establishment celebration would be held for Lu Wenxing.

The Lu family did not have any allied Foundation Establishment forces, and in addition, at Lu Wenxing's request, the Foundation Establishment celebration was not held in a grand manner, and no cultivators outside the Lu family were invited to attend.

After the Lu family finished dealing with these two matters, the shadow that had been hanging over the hearts of the Lu family cultivators completely disappeared, replaced by a joyful and uplifting atmosphere.

After Lu Wenxing's Foundation Establishment Ceremony ended, the entire Lu family began to busy themselves with the reopening of the Black Pine Mountain Market.

Before the Lu family could take action, the Liu and Song families had finally finished their discussions, and the two family heads, Song Yuanshan and Liu Chuyun, personally went up Chiyan Mountain.

"Congratulations to Senior Lu on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm! May your path to immortality be smooth and may you enjoy eternal life!"

Song Yuanshan and Liu Chuyun bowed respectfully to Lu Wenxing, adopting a very humble posture.

After all, Lu Wenxing's cultivation had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, making him a person from a different world than them. He had the ability to annihilate them at will, so they naturally had to be extremely careful when dealing with Lu Wenxing and the Lu family.

After exchanging greetings, Song Yuanshan and Liu Chuyun presented their congratulatory gifts.

Both families are Qi Refining Immortal Clans with limited family resources, and the congratulatory gifts they sent were nothing more than some first-grade high-quality spiritual items.

"You two are too kind. Your Liu and Song families also contributed greatly to successfully repelling the attack from the Green Flame Valley bandits. Our Lu family will remember this. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to ask our Lu family."

Lu Wenxing smiled at Song Yuanshan and the other man, then sighed helplessly: "Now that my cultivation has broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the cultivation resources I need have increased dramatically. Therefore, I want to take over 80% of the Black Stone Mountain Iron Mother Mine. I also plan to reopen the Black Pine Mountain Market. However, your two families will no longer participate in the profit sharing of the Black Pine Mountain Market. I hope you two have no objections?"

"Senior, you flatter us. We have no objections!" Song Yuanshan and Liu Chuyun immediately spoke up. Regardless of what they were thinking, they dared not voice any opinions unless they wanted to die.

"Senior, please look. This is the Silver Thunder Pearl. Once activated, it can unleash silver lightning comparable to the attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was this Silver Thunder Pearl that enabled me to kill Chen Lin, the leader of Green Flame Valley."

Song Yuanshan took the silver thunder bead out of his storage bag. This silver thunder bead, like the talisman, is a consumable item.

The Silver Thunder Pearl that Song Yuanshan took out had reached its limit of use, and had become a useless pearl.

Lu Wenxing's gaze fell on the Silver Thunder Pearl that Song Yuanshan had taken out, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

He had already heard the First Elder recount the events of that day, and he wasn't particularly surprised that the Song family was able to produce such a treasure as the Silver Thunder Pearl.

It's normal for a long-established cultivation family to have some hidden secrets unknown to outsiders.

After sensing Lu Wenxing's gaze, Song Yuanshan continued, "This Silver Thunder Pearl was obtained by one of my Song family's ancestors from a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cave. However, my ancestor's strength was limited, and he did not go deep into the cave, so he only obtained this valuable item, the Silver Thunder Pearl."
