Chapter 13 Qi Refining Level 5 (Please recommend and continue reading!)

The first-tier fire-attribute defensive spell, Fire Armor, is not difficult to cultivate. Lu Wenhua explained the tricks of cultivating this spell to Lu Cheng'an in detail, and also left his own insights into cultivating this spell.

Lu Cheng'an had a decent comprehension. He decided to first practice the Fire Armor Technique, and in less than an hour, he successfully mastered the basics of the technique.

Of course, the panel only shows a beginner level of 12/100. He will need some time to improve his skill to the minor mastery level.

"The progress of mastering first-order spells is relatively easy. At this rate, I can master the Fire Armor spell to a minor level in three days at most."

The initial stages of magical practice are relatively simple, with the difficulty gradually increasing later on.

With that thought in mind, Lu Cheng'an continued to practice the Fire Armor Technique.

Lu Cheng'an's cultivation of the Fire Armor Technique went very smoothly; he spent three days cultivating it to the minor completion stage.

After mastering the Fire Armor Technique to a minor level, the progress slowed down. However, with the support of the proficiency panel, Lu Cheng'an diligently practiced and mastered it to a major level in less than half a month.

"After mastering the Fire Armor Technique, the progress slows down even more. It will take at least a month to cultivate it to perfection."

Lu Cheng'an withdrew his attention from the panel and prepared to temporarily slow down his training in the Fire Armor Technique.

Cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm generally cultivate their spells to a minor level of mastery. There are not many cultivators who can cultivate first-order spells to a major level of mastery, and Qi Refining Realm cultivators who cultivate first-order spells to a perfect level are extremely rare.

"Next, I will begin practicing the Naruto Technique and accelerate my cultivation to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible."

Although Lu Cheng'an had been diligently practicing the Fire Armor Technique for the past two weeks, he had not neglected his training.

His current progress in Qi Refining Level 4 is 99/100, just a little short of breaking through to Qi Refining Level 5.

Breaking through from the fourth to the fifth level of Qi Refining is relatively easier for a cultivator than breaking through from the third to the fourth level. As long as enough mana is accumulated, the breakthrough can be achieved smoothly.

As the new day began, Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged on the bank of the lava river. As the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique was activated, the surrounding fiery and spiritual energy was drawn in and continuously converged into Lu Cheng'an's body.

The Heavenly Fire Profound Art, a very ordinary fire-attribute cultivation technique, became a perfect match for Lu Cheng'an after being subtly modified through the interface.

The fiery and spiritual energy that was drawn into Lu Cheng'an's body was instantly refined into magical power and transported into Lu Cheng'an's dantian.

Two hours later, Lu Cheng'an successfully completed a full cycle of the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique. At this time, the panel showed that his cultivation level had changed to [Qi Refining Level 4 (100/100)].

Lu Cheng'an did not stop circulating the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique. After completing one major cycle, he immediately began circulating the second major cycle.

Given his current condition, he can circulate his energy for two consecutive cycles. If he continues to cultivate, it will put a certain burden on his body.

Two more hours later, Lu Cheng'an once again circulated the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique into a Great Cycle. After he successfully circulated it, the surrounding fire and spiritual energy gathered into his body on its own.

These powers were easily converted into magical power, which he used to enhance his cultivation.

This situation lasted for a short while, after which Lu Chengan's cultivation successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

"At the fifth level of Qi Refining, the mana accumulated in my dantian is almost twice as much as when I was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and my spiritual power has also improved considerably."

After successfully breaking through his cultivation level, Lu Cheng'an immediately checked the changes in himself and also looked at his attribute panel. He found that the changes brought about by breaking through from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level were much stronger than those of other cultivators. For example, among the cultivators of his Lu family, the increase in mana in their dantian after breaking through from the fourth level to the fifth level was two-thirds more than before.

This is still a relatively good situation; some may even be below two-thirds.

As for the growth of spiritual power, it was negligible.

"It must be due to the panel and the Fire Spirit!"

Lu Cheng'an murmured, "I wonder if I can defeat a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining with my current strength?"

After his thoughts wandered for a while, Lu Cheng'an quickly returned to his senses and began practicing the Fire Shadow Technique, a first-tier fire-attribute technique.

The Fire Shadow Technique is more difficult to master than the Fire Armor Technique, but with the support of the panel and Lu Wenhua's cultivation insights, Lu Cheng'an also mastered the technique in a short time.

During his training in the Naruto Technique, Lu Cheng'an also carefully studied the books on weapon crafting that he had brought from the Scripture Pavilion.

The Qi Refining Classics collected by the Lu family are mostly introductory in nature and lack substantial content.

Even so, the contents recorded in these classic texts still greatly benefited Lu Cheng'an, giving him a deeper understanding of weapon crafting.

According to the ancient texts, the process of cultivators refining magical artifacts is different from that of ordinary people forging weapons. Cultivators need to complete an extra step in refining magical artifacts compared to ordinary people forging weapons, which is tempering.

The so-called tempering pattern is to temper the spirit pattern on the crafted weapon blank. The spirit pattern is outlined and intertwined to form an array, which requires the weapon refiner to also have some knowledge of array formations.

The refiner uses their divine sense to outline the patterns on the weapon blank, which places certain demands on the refiner's divine sense.

If a cultivator's spiritual power is not strong enough, they simply cannot do this.

Lu Cheng'an's spiritual power far surpasses that of cultivators at the same level, and his spiritual power fully meets the requirements for becoming a weapon refiner.

The weapon-refining manuals collected by the Lu family did not actually concern weapon refining, so Lu Cheng'an did not study them too much. He only spent two or three days reading through all the manuals before he began to devote himself to cultivation.

Seven days later, Lu Cheng'an, who was cultivating, received a message from his clan.

"The bandits and cultivators of Black Pine Mountain finally couldn't hold back any longer and made their move!"

Upon seeing the message from his family in the communication talisman, Lu Cheng'an's expression turned cold, and he also felt a sense of unease.

Although the elders of the family were very confident, the bandit cultivators of Black Pine Mountain were not weak either, after all, their leader, Liu Xun, had the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"My uncle told me to stay put at Huohuai Mountain and guard it during this period. I must not return to Chiyan Mountain on my own until I receive any new information!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed as he thought of the news from his clan.

The people living on Fire Locust Mountain are ordinary people from the Lu family. There is an unspoken rule in the cultivation world: as a cultivator, one cannot kill ordinary people on a large scale, otherwise one will be classified as an evil cultivator and will be hunted down by all forces in the cultivation world.
