Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 11: Determined to Keep it a Secret (Please read and recommend!)

"Chieftain, the minerals that emerge from the bottom of the lava river can be used to refine magical artifacts. It would be a waste not to make use of them."

Lu Cheng'an looked at Lu Wenxing and continued, "I'd like to try my hand at weapon crafting. I wonder if the clan leader thinks it's feasible?"

"That's certainly possible. The clan's library contains some books on weapon crafting, but there's no systematic inheritance. The clan will try to find a complete weapon crafting inheritance for you."

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Wenxing agreed.

Lu Cheng'an can obtain all kinds of minerals from the lava river, which solves the most difficult step in becoming a weapon refiner.

If Lu Cheng'an can really become a weapon refiner in the future, it will definitely not be a bad thing for the development of the Lu family.

"However, you must also be careful. For us cultivators, cultivation is the most important thing. You are still very young, and you cannot spend too much time on the various arts of cultivation right now. Improving your cultivation is the most important thing for you to do right now," Lu Wenxing said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, clan leader, I will be careful!" Lu Cheng'an assured him with a smile.

Lu Wenxing nodded slightly. After exchanging a few more words with Lu Wenhua, he asked Lu Wenhua to take Lu Cheng'an to the Sutra Repository to select suitable books.

Since the news that Lu Cheng'an could enter the lava river to find treasures must be kept secret, the treasures he obtained from the lava river cannot be presented in Lu Cheng'an's name.

Lu Wenxing had already discussed this matter with his uncle Lu Cheng'an, and the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and other items would be taken out in Lu Wenxing's name.

Of course, Lu Wenxing would privately charge Lu Cheng'an the market price for things like Fire Essence Mother Mushroom, ensuring that Lu Cheng'an wouldn't suffer a loss.

After Lu Cheng'an and his nephew left Lu Wenxing's cave, Lu Wenxing immediately came out of his own cave and rushed to Lu Wenmei's cave.

The Lu family only has Lu Wenmei, a first-grade high-level alchemist. The two first-grade high-level spiritual herbs, Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass, naturally need to be given to Lu Wenmei to be refined into pills.

After handing over the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass to Lu Wenmei, Lu Wenxing then transferred spirit stones from the clan, preparing to give them to Lu Cheng'an next.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an and Lu Wenhua had already entered the family's scripture pavilion.

Even when the Lu family was at its peak, it was only a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, and there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator in the clan. This resulted in the Lu family not having many cultivation-related books.

However, there are quite a few first-tier spells, enough for Lu Cheng'an to choose from.

"Cheng'an, which technique do you want to choose to cultivate?"

Lu Wenhua spoke softly: "Like you, I cultivate fire-attribute techniques, and the three spells I practice are also fire-attribute. These three spells are Fire Serpent Technique, Fire Armor Technique, and Fire Shadow Technique... Which spell would you like to choose to cultivate?"

Lu Wenhua quickly introduced the three fire-attribute spells he had cultivated to Lu Cheng'an. Lu Wenhua had cultivated these three spells for many years, and each of them had been cultivated to at least the minor completion level.

If Lu Cheng'an chooses one of the cultivation methods, Lu Wenhua can provide guidance so that Lu Cheng'an can quickly grasp the key points of cultivation.

Fire Serpent Technique and Fire Void Finger are both offensive techniques, while Fire Armor Technique is a defensive technique. Once mastered, it can condense a fire armor around the body. Fire Shadow Technique is a movement-oriented technique. Once mastered, it can greatly increase a cultivator's speed.

Moreover, during battle, cultivators can use this technique to condense a phantom body of fire, which can confuse the enemy.

Of course, to condense a Hokage avatar using the Hokage Technique, one needs to master the technique. This is a very difficult step; even after years of practicing the Hokage Technique, Lu Wenhua has not been able to reach mastery.

Lu Cheng'an hesitated. He wanted to learn all three spells, Fire Serpent Technique, because each of them had its own purpose.

If he successfully masters all three techniques, his combat power will increase accordingly.

After careful consideration, Lu Cheng'an quickly made a decision.

"Uncle, I plan to exchange all three spells for this one. In addition, I would also like to exchange for a spell that allows me to burrow underground!" Lu Cheng'an said.

Not all lava rivers have passages connecting them to the outside world. If Lu Cheng'an wants to enter other lava rivers in the Burning Flame Mountains, he will most likely need to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape underground) techniques to assist him.

“Cheng’an, you should know the principle of not trying to do too much at once. How could you possibly have time to cultivate so many techniques at once? Have you already forgotten what the clan leader just told you?” Lu Wenhua said sternly.

Lu Wenhua shared the same idea as Lu Wenxing. In their view, Lu Chengan was still quite young and should focus his energy on cultivation.

The cultivation of various immortal arts and spells can be put on hold for now. It's not too late to cultivate these when it becomes difficult to improve one's cultivation level.

“Uncle, I know my limits. I want to try practicing all four spells first. I’ll start practicing whichever spell I have the talent for,” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

He naturally wouldn't do as he was told, since he had the panel to rely on. As long as he cultivated step by step, he would eventually be able to reach the perfect level of proficiency in these four spells.

Of course, there was no need to tell Lu Wenhua these things.

"Just be mindful of your own actions. If you really want to exchange for four spells, your uncle won't stop you."

Lu Wenhua sighed and said, "The family does indeed have one of the earth-遁 (earth-traveling) techniques you mentioned. It's called Earth Travel Technique and is a fragment of a second-tier technique. You can try to practice it, but if you can't get the hang of it, stop immediately and don't waste your time."

Lu Wenhua was quite familiar with the various techniques collected in the Scripture Pavilion. After helping Lu Cheng'an determine which techniques he wanted to cultivate, he quickly helped Lu Cheng'an replace the cultivation methods of these four techniques with those from the Scripture Pavilion.

Of course, there are also classic texts on weapon crafting.

However, these texts are not systematic and do not contain any real methods of weapon crafting. The cultivators of the Lu family can view them for free.

These are all rubbings, which can be taken out of the library, but they cannot be distributed, otherwise they will be punished according to the clan rules.

The cultivators of the Lu family also need to pay a certain fee to exchange for these techniques, but the price is not high.

Lu Cheng'an has been guarding Huohuai Mountain for so long, and has gained a lot of family contributions. In addition, the spirit stones he obtained by exchanging treasures in the underground passage are enough for him to exchange for these spells.

"You must keep these magical texts safe and never let them slip out."

Lu Wenhua instructed Lu Cheng'an and continued, "We'll go find the clan chief now. He should have already prepared the spirit stones to convert the materials, such as the Fire Essence Mother Fungus, into spirit stones."
