Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 19 Recovery from Injuries (Happy New Year!)

Healing pills and mana-restoring pills were always on Lu Cheng'an's person. These pills were prepared by Lu Wenhua and were all top-quality pills.

Lu Cheng'an had been taking healing pills for some time, but his injuries were very serious. Even with the help of the healing pills, he could only temporarily suppress his injuries.

"Please accept these healing pills and continue to recuperate at Qingmu Ridge!"

Lu Chengsong smiled and said, "I'll head to Fire Locust Mountain now. Once the elders have dealt with the Black Pine Mountain bandits, we'll see what arrangements they make for us."

Lu Cheng'an's injuries have not yet healed, so staying in Qingmu Ridge is the best option.

However, the mortal clansmen of Firelocust Mountain also need the protection of cultivators, so Lu Wenhua instructed Lu Chengsong to go to Firelocust Mountain immediately if Lu Chengan's injuries were not serious.

Of course, the main reason Lu Wenhua made this arrangement was because the Lu family currently has too few cultivators.

The Lu family had a total of 26 Qi Refining cultivators who successfully migrated to Chiyan Mountain. After this battle, they lost three more Qi Refining cultivators, leaving the Lu family with only 23 Qi Refining cultivators.

This is a very small number, and it's now difficult to even keep the family running.

"Cheng Song, please be careful on your journey. If anything happens, we'll contact you immediately using the communication talisman!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Lu Chengsong nodded slightly. Without wasting any time, he left Qingmu Ridge and sped off towards Huohuai Mountain.

After seeing Lu Chengsong off, Lu Chengan entered the cave in Qingmu Ridge again.

The spiritual energy concentration in the caves of Qingmu Ridge is somewhat lower than that of Huohuai Mountain, but Lu Cheng'an doesn't need to cultivate now, so his need for spiritual energy is not high.

After entering the cave, he sat cross-legged in the meditation room and continued to treat his injuries.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, with the help of the elixir, Lu Cheng'an's injuries were finally fully healed, and Lu Wenxing and the others had also dealt with the aftermath of the Black Pine Mountain bandit attack.

"My uncle sent me a message instructing me to return to the clan now and perform a spiritual awakening for the mortals within the clan!"

Upon seeing the message on the communication talisman, Lu Cheng'an immediately showed a look of doubt.

Awakening the spirit is an extremely important matter for cultivation families. Previously, this task was always performed by the patriarch and elders, and a young person had never been asked to do it before.

Enlightenment is the process of guiding ordinary people in the clan into the path of cultivation. When they become cultivators in the future, they should remember the kindness of the cultivator who enlightened their spirit.

"Let's not think about that too much for now. I'll ask my uncle when we get back to the family!"

After receiving the communication talisman, Lu Cheng'an waited patiently for the cultivator from his clan to arrive and take his place.

He didn't have to wait long; less than half an hour after he checked the message on the communication talisman, the cultivator who replaced him arrived at Qingmu Ridge.

After a brief exchange with the cultivator who replaced him, Lu Cheng'an rode his yellow paper crane toward Chiyan Mountain.

According to Lu Cheng'an's original plan, after returning to Chiyan Mountain, he was going to find his uncle to inquire about the situation.

However, as soon as he returned to Chiyan Mountain, his uncle took him to Lu Wenxing's cave.

After entering Lu Wenxing's cave, Lu Cheng'an found the clan leader and elders waiting for him. "Cheng'an greets the clan leader and the two elders!" Lu Cheng'an suppressed his doubts and immediately bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities, please sit down with your uncle!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, saying, "Cheng'an, how are you feeling now? Have your injuries fully healed?"

Instead of directly stating the question he wanted to ask, Lu Wenxing inquired about Lu Cheng'an's health, expressing his concern.

"Thanks to the healing pills that Brother Chengsong sent, I have recovered from my injuries with the help of their medicinal properties," Lu Chengan said with a smile.

"It's good that your injuries can heal smoothly. Otherwise, even if we slaughtered all the bandits in Black Pine Mountain, we still wouldn't be able to extinguish the family's anger," Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

"Unfortunately, I was too late. By the time I arrived at Qingmu Ridge, Wen Xuanbo had already been killed by the bandits!" Lu Cheng'an said sadly.

Lu Wenxuan's body was sent back to the family a few days ago and has now been buried in the family cemetery along with two other cultivators who died in battle.

Because he had to guard Qingmu Ridge, Lu Cheng'an did not return to Qingmu Mountain to attend the funeral of Lu Wenxuan and the other two.

When Lu Cheng'an mentioned Lu Wenxuan, who had died in battle, Lu Wenxing and the other three couldn't help but show a look of sadness on their faces.

"Wen Xuan and the others died for the family, and the cultivators in the family will always remember their contributions!"

Lu Wenxing spoke in a deep voice, then looked at Lu Cheng'an and said, "The main reason I called you back from Qingmu Ridge is because of two things. The first thing is that your uncle should have already told you that after discussing the matter of the spiritual awakening for the mortals in the clan, we have decided that you will be in charge."

The second thing I want to ask is, how did you kill those two Qi Refining Level 6 bandits?

The four of them, including Lu Wenxing, all turned their attention to Lu Chengan, sensing that his cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The time it took Lu Cheng'an to break through from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level was very short, even faster than the speed at which Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan had broken through their cultivation levels.

Even though Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he was still a level lower than those two bandit cultivators from Black Pine Mountain.

The fact that both of the Black Pine Mountain bandits died at Lu Cheng'an's hands was completely unexpected.

"Reporting to the clan leader and elders, I was able to kill those two Qi Refining Level 6 Black Pine Mountain bandits mainly because of the talisman and this magic artifact that my uncle gave me."

Lu Cheng'an glanced at Lu Wenhua and took out the silver needle magic tool.

Lu Cheng'an was not lying. He was able to successfully kill the two Black Pine Mountain bandits at the sixth level of Qi Refining mainly because of this silver needle magic weapon.

“A mid-grade first-tier magic weapon, if used in a sneak attack, can indeed kill a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining!” Lu Wenxing’s gaze swept over the silver needle.

With just one glance, he could tell what the silver needle was like.

However, Lu Cheng'an was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Even with this silver needle magic weapon, which was good at stealth and sneak attacks, he still needed enough courage and relatively high combat ability to successfully kill two bandit cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"The matter of awakening the spirits of the mortals for the family is scheduled for three days later. Your uncle will give you the magic artifacts used for the awakening later. I hope you can find more immortal cultivators for the family!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile. He did not ask Lu Cheng'an how he killed those two Qi Refining Level 6 bandits.
