Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 24: The Inheritance of Weapon Forging (Please read and recommend!)

Lu Wenxing had already discovered that the Xu family had cultivators guarding outside Hongyu Mountain, but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he did not spare any manpower to deal with those Xu family cultivators who were guarding outside.

After confirming the number of Xu family cultivators who had died, Lu Wenxing began to target the Xu family mortals at the foot of Red Jade Mountain.

The Xu family has nearly 40,000 mortal members, so it's impossible to kill them all.

If the Lu family really does this, it will violate the unspoken rules of the cultivation world and will face suppression from other cultivation forces.

Of course, dealing with some of the Xu family's direct descendants is still in line with the requirements.

Lu Wenxing quickly assigned the task to the cultivators in his clan, and also dispatched four cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining to Iron Heart Mountain, another place where the Xu family was located in the mortal realm.

Lu Wenxing also gave the four orders: if they encountered the two cultivators guarding the Xu family's stronghold, they should kill them immediately; if they did not encounter them, they should only kill the direct descendants of the Xu family.

Of course, these direct descendants of ordinary people only include those teenagers and children who still have the hope of becoming cultivators. These people have the potential to become cultivators, and they may become a threat to the Lu family.

As for those mortals who are older than this limit, they have no hope of becoming cultivators in this lifetime, and naturally will no longer pose any threat to the Lu family.

While Lu Wenxing was arranging these matters, Lu Wenhua, Lu Wensheng, and other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators had already plundered the Xu family's wealth.

The Xu family possesses a tradition of weapon crafting, and there have always been first-tier high-grade weapon crafters in the clan. Over the years, they have accumulated considerable wealth.

However, as the Xu family has declined over the years, the wealth they accumulated has been used to purchase talismans and other resources that can enhance combat power, and these resources are now mostly being used for the Lu family.

Even so, after the Lu family ransacked the Xu family, the various resources they collected amounted to nearly four thousand spirit stones.

This is no small sum. If the Lu family receives these resources, their financial situation will improve significantly.

Of course, spirit stones are all external things. The most important thing that the Lu family obtained from the Xu family was the inheritance of various classic texts.

This includes the complete weapon-refining heritage of the Xu family.

The Xu family's weapon-refining heritage is quite extraordinary. It was obtained by the Xu family's ancestor from a cave dwelling left behind by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The heritage contains three methods for refining second-tier magic weapons, one of which is a second-tier mid-grade defensive magic weapon with a very high refining difficulty.

However, the Xu family has never produced a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, so naturally they cannot cultivate a second-tier weapon refiner. This has led the surrounding cultivation forces to believe that the weapon refining inheritance obtained by the Xu family is just an ordinary first-tier weapon refining inheritance, and therefore it has not brought any trouble to the Xu family.

Besides the weapon-refining inheritance, the Xu family also has three cultivation techniques. One of these three techniques also comes from that Foundation Establishment cultivator. This technique is called the Yuanmu Scripture, and it is a wood-attribute cultivation technique.

The Yuanmu Scripture, a foundation-building cultivation method, is incomplete and can only be cultivated up to the late stage of foundation building.

Even so, for a Qi Refining Immortal Clan like the Xu family, it remains the most precious inheritance of cultivation techniques.

Unfortunately, the Yuanmu Scripture is quite difficult to cultivate. There are not many cultivators in the Xu family who cultivate wood-attribute techniques, and even fewer who can begin to cultivate the Yuanmu Scripture.

Currently, none of the cultivators in the Xu family have successfully cultivated the Yuanmu Scripture. If a cultivator in the Xu family were to succeed in cultivating the Yuanmu Scripture, the Lu family would likely need to expend more effort to destroy the Xu family.

The other two cultivation techniques can only be practiced up to the late Qi Refining stage. These two techniques are the Fire Dragon Technique and the Earth Origin Technique. The Lu family also has the Earth Origin Technique, but only the Fire Dragon Technique is useful to them.

In addition, there are quite a few books on magic and alchemy, but many of them overlap with those collected by the Lu family. The only truly valuable ones are the Yuanmu Scripture, the Fire Dragon Technique, and the weapon-refining inheritance.

In addition to these floating materials, the Xu family also shared a first-order mineral deposit with the Liu family of Blackrock Valley and the Song family of Green Screen Mountain.

It was an iron ore deposit located in Black Stone Mountain, at the intersection of the territories of the Liu, Xu, and Song families, with the Xu family holding a 30% share.

Iron mother ore is the main material for refining fine iron magic swords, which is also the main magic weapon that the Xu family refines.

Depending on the materials and techniques used in the forging of refined iron swords, their grades vary from low-grade first rank to low-grade second rank.

Among the weapon-refining inheritances obtained by the Xu family was the method for forging a second-tier low-grade refined iron magic sword.

Lu Wenxing collected all the floating materials from the Xu family into his storage bag. As for the spiritual land of Hongyu Mountain and the iron mother ore deposit of Heishi Mountain, he planned to deal with them after the Liu and Song families arrived.

Before the Lu family and the Xu family clashed, Xu Mingshen had already sent a message to the Liu and Song families. Lu Wenxing was certain that these two families would send cultivators to Hongyu Mountain to investigate.

Time passed slowly, and a quarter and a half minutes after the Lu family had destroyed the Xu family, the cultivators from the Liu and Song families finally arrived at Red Jade Mountain.

"Where are Lu Wenxing, Xu Mingshen, and the cultivators from the Xu family now?"

A middle-aged man in a maroon robe stared at Lu Wenxing with a dark expression. This middle-aged man was Song Yuanshan, the patriarch of the Song family of Cuiping Mountain. Beside him stood a female cultivator in a green silk skirt.

This female cultivator was originally a rogue cultivator from the Burning Flame Mountain Range. She became a Daoist partner with Song Yuanshan when she was in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Her cultivation talent was quite good. With the support provided by the Song family, her cultivation level is now the same as Song Yuanshan's, both at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Beside Song Yuanshan and his wife was a man dressed in a blue-green robe. This man was Liu Chuyun, the patriarch of the Liu family in Black Rock Valley. He was also a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Liu and Song families did not send many cultivators, only these three cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Xu Mingshen and all the cultivators of the Xu family are dead!"

Lu Wenxing smiled and looked at Song Yuanshan and the other two, and said in a deep voice: "The three of you should have heard about the attack on my Lu family's mountain gate by the bandits from Black Pine Mountain some time ago. It's a pity that the bandits from Black Pine Mountain underestimated the strength of our Lu family. We were able to turn the tables and kill them all the way to Black Pine Mountain. We met the cultivators from the Xu family there!"

At this point, Lu Wenxing's gaze swept across the faces of Song Yuanshan and the other two: "The Xu family first harbored ill intentions towards my Lu family, and now they have been wiped out by our Lu family. You three fellow Daoists should not have any problem with this, right?"

"Lu Wenxing, your Lu family has gone a bit too far!"

Song Yuanshan frowned and said coldly, "Furthermore, the claim that the Xu family colluded with the bandits of Black Pine Mountain is only your side of the story. Who knows if you were plotting to seize the Xu family's resources, which is why you decided to kill them!"

Speaking of the Xu family's resources, Song Yuanshan and the other two were also quite eager. It wasn't that they had no interest in the Xu family's resources, but the Xu family had long ago colluded with the bandits and cultivators of Black Pine Mountain.
