Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 3 Fire Spirit (Please continue reading and recommend!)

The cultivator currently guarding Huohuai Mountain is Lu Chengjian, Lu Cheng'an's cousin. He, like Lu Cheng'an, is at the third level of Qi Refining.

However, his cultivation is about to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the environment of Fire Locust Mountain is relatively harsh, making it unsuitable as a place for cultivation breakthrough.

Upon learning that Lu Cheng'an had arrived, Lu Chengjian immediately welcomed him into the cave.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Chengjian began to explain to Lu Chengan the specific tasks of guarding Huohuai Mountain.

"The mission is actually quite simple. First, protect the mortal people below the mountain. You don't need to worry too much about that. The mortal people below the mountain have already organized a guard team. They patrol every day, and if they encounter danger, they will release a signal flare to call for help."

Our primary task is the second one: to monitor the underground magma river situation at Huohuai Mountain.

When Lu Chengjian mentioned the second task, a serious look appeared on his face: "Cheng'an, come with me."

Lu Chengjian took the token hanging from his waist and placed it in a recess in the bedroom wall.

"This is the passage connecting the underground magma river of Firelocust Mountain. We need to explore it at least every three days. If there is any unusual activity in the underground magma river of Firelocust Mountain, we need to report it to the clan immediately."

This passage leads directly to the underground magma river of Firelocust Mountain. The passage is filled with fiery energy. Our cultivation is too weak to go deep into it. We only need to observe the concentration of fiery energy in the passage to judge the condition of the magma river... That's all for our guard duties. Do you have any questions?" Lu Chengjian asked.

"Thank you for informing me, Brother Chengjian. Congratulations on your breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining!" Lu Chengan said with a smile.

"Haha, thank you for your kind words!" Lu Chengjian laughed heartily.

Lu Chengjian wanted to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. After telling Lu Chengan the specific tasks he needed to complete while guarding the town, he immediately left Huohuai Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an did not immediately explore the passage of the underground magma river in the Fire Locust Mountain ahead, but instead went to meet the mortal people at the foot of the Fire Locust Mountain.

After giving a brief explanation to the ordinary people, he returned to his cave on Firelocust Mountain.

"Next, we need to verify whether the Fire Spirit Body is indeed as compatible with fire and fearless of being burned by fire as described on the panel."

Lu Cheng'an placed the token into the groove, and as the sealed stone door slowly opened, he entered the passage without looking back.

The entrance is quite far from the underground lava river, and there is basically no fiery energy here.

However, after Lu Cheng'an went several feet deeper into the underground passage, he sensed the presence of the fiery aura.

"It's not just the fire element; it also contains spiritual energy!"

Lu Cheng'an carefully investigated and found that the spiritual energy here was even more concentrated than that in the meditation room in his cave, almost on par with the spiritual energy in his cave in Chiyan Mountain.

He hadn't yet reached the end of the underground passage, and he couldn't imagine how dense the spiritual energy would be at the end.

After suppressing his inner turmoil, Lu Cheng'an continued walking deeper into the underground passage.

After walking another eight or nine zhang, Lu Cheng'an suddenly stopped.

This location is already very deep, and the fiery energy it contains condenses into crimson mist, which can pose a great threat even to cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Lu family's exploration of this underground passage ended here. The demonic beasts that had previously lived in the passage had all been killed by the Lu family's cultivators, which is why Lu Cheng'an's journey had been so peaceful.

"The concentration of spiritual energy here is comparable to that at a first-tier spiritual vein node, and even more concentrated. Let's not go any deeper for now, and see if we can refine the spiritual energy here for cultivation!"

Lu Cheng'an hadn't started cultivating yet today. After this thought popped into his mind, he sat down cross-legged. Lu Cheng'an closed his eyes, and after circulating the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, the crimson mist surging in the passage, carrying spiritual energy, swept into his body.

The crimson mist was the fiery aura that cultivators avoided at all costs, but Lu Cheng'an felt nothing after absorbing it.

Even Lu Cheng'an, who was focused on cultivation, did not notice any changes in the spiritual energy he was refining.

Time passed slowly, and three hours went by in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cheng'an, who was in the middle of cultivation, quickly woke up. He silently reviewed his previous cultivation and realized that he seemed to have underestimated his own panel and Fire Virtue Spirit Body.

"The panel subtly altered the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique I was cultivating, making it more suitable for me."

"Fire energy, like spiritual energy, is a kind of energy in the world. It can even be regarded as a mutated form of spiritual energy. I can refine fire energy like spiritual energy. Moreover, after refining this fire energy, my magic power also underwent a mutation!"

Lu Cheng'an pointed out with one finger, a fiery red light flashing at the tip, and then a finger imprint shot out.

This is the Fire Void Finger technique he cultivated!
Lu Cheng'an discovered that the Fire Void Finger technique he was using had also undergone some changes. Because his magic power was mixed with fire evil energy, the Fire Void Finger technique he was using also had some characteristics of fire evil energy.

This undoubtedly further enhances the power of the Fiery Finger!

"I only need three hours to complete one major cycle of cultivation here, so even if I complete two major cycles, my meridians can withstand it!"

After careful consideration, Lu Cheng'an stopped cultivating and did not rest. Instead, he began to use the Fire Void Finger to continue improving his progress in this technique.

When Lu Cheng'an came to Huohuai Mountain, he purchased enough fasting pills from his clan.

Bigu Pill is a low-grade first-level pill. The main ingredient for refining this pill is the essence of the five grains. One Bigu Pill can sustain a cultivator's needs for seven days.

Time flies when you're cultivating; four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged in the underground passage. He was very excited after seeing the changes on the panel in his mind.

Name: Lu Cheng'an

Lifespan: 16/89

[Constitution: Fire Spirit Body (affinity with fire, fearless of being burned by fire) can be improved]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 3 (99/100)]

[Technique: Heavenly Fire Profound Technique (Minor Success 36/100)]

[Skill: Fiery Finger (Mastery 83/100)]

"My cultivation level is just a little short of reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining. I wonder if I'll encounter a bottleneck?"

There is a hurdle between the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining, which is the first hurdle a cultivator encounters after embarking on their cultivation journey.

Those cultivators with less talent will be stuck at the first hurdle, wasting many years before they can overcome it.

Lu Cheng'an believed that his talent for cultivation was not bad, after all, he had broken through to the third level of Qi Refining at the age of sixteen.
