Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 32 A New Mission (Please read and recommend!)

"This time there were no problems, and we have successfully forged another low-grade first-tier fine iron magic sword!"

Lu Cheng'an held the finished refined iron magic sword in his hand and carefully inspected it. He felt that the quality of this refined iron magic sword was better than the first one.

"Successfully crafting a first-grade low-level magic weapon increases the crafting progress by two points, and each failure increases it by one point. As long as you are crafting a magic weapon, whether you succeed or fail, the crafting progress will increase."

Looking at the changes in the weapon refining progress displayed on the panel, Lu Cheng'an felt very satisfied.

He has no shortage of refining materials. As long as he has enough time, he can always gradually increase his refining progress.

After putting the newly forged refined iron magic sword into his storage bag, Lu Cheng'an used a communication talisman to send a message to his uncle.

The message was very brief. Lu Cheng'an told Lu Wenhua that his cultivation had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and asked Lu Wenhua to prepare some pills to assist cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining when he had time.

After sending a message to Lu Wenhua, Lu Cheng'an did not wait for Lu Wenhua's reply, but instead threw himself back into cultivation and crafting magical artifacts.

Time passed slowly, and seven days went by in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Lu Cheng'an attempted to forge another refined iron magic sword. However, he was unlucky. After successfully forging three rune arrays—Gathering Spirit, Sharpness, and Armor Penetration—on the weapon blank, the Sharpness and Armor Penetration rune arrays collapsed during the subsequent tempering.

This collapse was widespread and completely irreparable, rendering the nearly completed iron sword utterly useless.

Before Lu Cheng'an could forge a new refined iron sword, Lu Wenhua had already arrived at Fire Locust Mountain.

Not much time had passed since Lu Cheng'an last met Lu Wenhua, so he didn't inquire about his family's situation. After greeting Lu Wenhua, he directly asked if Lu Wenhua had brought him any pills to aid his cultivation.

"This is a mid-grade first-tier Flame Crystal Pill, which is considered the most suitable pill for cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining who are practicing fire-attribute techniques."

Lu Wenhua smiled and took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag: "A while ago, a first-grade high-level rogue alchemist came to the Black Pine Mountain Market. The clan leader went to great lengths to recruit him as a guest elder of the clan. This Flame Crystal Pill was refined by him."

"Here are sixty spirit stones. The family paid for the two low-grade first-tier magic swords you forged. Now, those two magic swords have been exchanged for by a Qi Refining stage cultivator in the clan."

When Lu Wenhua brought up this matter, the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

His cultivation might only reach the Qi Refining stage in this lifetime, but now he has seen the talent displayed by his own nephew, who will definitely achieve great things in the future.

"Uncle, please keep these sixty spirit stones. I haven't used any spirit stones at Fire Locust Mountain, so these spirit stones are of no use to me."

Lu Cheng'an smiled and pushed the sixty spirit stones back, then took out his newly forged refined iron magic sword from his storage bag.

"This is a fine iron magic sword I recently forged. Uncle, take it with you when you go back!"

“Why are these spirit stones useless? The spiritual energy in Fire Locust Mountain is still too thin. You can refine the spiritual energy in the spirit stones when you cultivate, which will definitely shorten your cultivation time significantly!” Lu Wenhua said seriously. “Uncle, my cultivation speed is not slow even without spirit stones. Besides, I still have the Flame Crystal Pills you prepared for me!”

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Lu Wenhua, saying, "Besides, Uncle needs spirit stones for cultivation. If you give them all to me, does that mean Uncle isn't planning on cultivating?"

"I'll accept these spirit stones for now. If I find any suitable pills, I'll buy them for you!"

Lu Wenhua glanced helplessly at Lu Cheng'an and accepted the sixty spirit stones and the fine iron magic sword.

"The clan's newly recruited guest elder is named Zhou Changshu. He is skilled in refining fire-attribute pills. The clan leader wants me to ask you if you can find any more fire-attribute spiritual herbs in the lava river?"

When Lu Wenhua talked about this matter, his brows furrowed slightly: "I don't know much about the lava river. The clan leader only mentioned it briefly. If the spiritual herbs in the lava river are not easy to harvest, you can just give up. The clan leader will definitely not say anything."

The reason Lu Wenxing told Lu Wenhua about this was because Lu Chengan had previously picked two kinds of medicinal pills, Fire Essence Mother Fungus and Fire Essence Grass, in the underground passage.

Lu Wenhua's cultivation was able to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and Lu Wenjing's cultivation was able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, all because of the two spiritual herbs that Lu Cheng'an picked.

"The environment in the lava river is extremely harsh, and virtually no medicinal herbs can grow there."

Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly. Ever since he entered the lava river, he had been wandering around in that small area and had never ventured deep into the lava river to explore.

Now, when he suddenly heard that his uncle was picking medicinal herbs in the lava river, he couldn't help but have the idea.

After all, his cultivation has now broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he has also cultivated the three techniques of Fire Shadow Technique, Fire Armor Technique, and Fire Void Finger to the perfection. He dares to fight even a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining. His ability to protect himself has been greatly improved, and he may be able to explore the lava river.

"I will search the lava river later, and if I find anything, I will send a message to my uncle in time."

Seeing the worried look on his uncle's face, Lu Cheng'an smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I know what I'm doing and I definitely won't put myself in danger."

"You've always been reliable in your work, so you can handle the matter of finding the elixir in the lava river yourself!"

Lu Wenhua sighed and said, "There's one more thing for you to do. The family recently wiped out the bandits and cultivators of Black Pine Mountain and the Xu family of Red Jade Mountain, and gathered more than 50,000 ordinary people. They are too scattered, so the family plans to wipe out all the monsters and wild beasts in the area of ​​Red Smoke Mountain, Fire Locust Mountain, and Green Wood Ridge. You are currently guarding Fire Locust Mountain, so the task of wiping out the wild beasts and monsters near Fire Locust Mountain falls on your shoulders."

The more than 50,000 ordinary people are more than twice the number of ordinary people in the Lu family.

The Lu family's plan is to gradually integrate these mortal clansmen with the Lu family's own mortal clansmen, thereby rapidly increasing the number of Lu family mortal clansmen.

After all, the Lu family currently has too few mortal members, making it difficult to supply the Lu family with many potential cultivators.

When ordinary people from other clans migrate to the vicinity of Chiyan Mountain, they need to create more habitable places. That's why the cultivators guarding the area, such as Lu Cheng'an, had to take action to clear out the demonic beasts and wild animals.
