Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 33 Extermining the Monsters (Please read and recommend!)

There were no powerful demonic beasts or wild animals around Fire Locust Mountain. Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his combat ability far surpassed that of cultivators at the same level. Lu Wenhua was not worried that his nephew would encounter any danger while doing this.

"Today is your eighteenth birthday. We can talk about family matters tomorrow. I brought a jar of spirit wine from the clan. Let's have a good drink together today!"

Lu Wenhua gently patted Lu Chengan's shoulder. Looking at his nephew, who was now much taller than him, he couldn't help but think of their deceased relatives.

But in an instant, Lu Wenhua suppressed the sadness that had welled up in his heart. After leading his nephew to sit down, he took out the jar of spirit wine and the snacks he had brought from the clan from his storage bag.

This jar of spirit wine was brewed by a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining in the Lu family. It is the lowest grade of spirit wine, containing very little spiritual energy, but it has a good taste, and many cultivators in the Lu family like it.

After the Black Mountain Market opened, the cultivator from the Lu family who brewed spirit wine earned a sum of spirit stones thanks to his skill.

After Lu Wenhua brought out the wine and dishes, Lu Cheng'an sat down with Lu Wenhua. The uncle and nephew did not talk about family matters anymore, but chatted about many other things.

The uncle and nephew seemed quite happy, but a shadow was lurking in their hearts.

After all, they had not yet avenged their family's death, and it would be difficult for Lu Cheng'an and his nephew to be happy until this matter was resolved.

Lu Wenhua stayed with Lu Cheng'an at Huohuai Mountain for one night, and left early the next morning.

After watching Lu Cheng'an leave, Lu Cheng'an went down the mountain to tell the ordinary members of the Lu family, and then rode the yellow paper crane away from Fire Locust Mountain to begin clearing out the wild beasts and monsters around Fire Locust Mountain.

There aren't many monsters near Firelocust Mountain, but there are quite a few wild animals.

But whether they were demonic beasts or wild animals, their strength was insufficient to pose a threat to Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an spent nine days clearing out the demonic beasts and ferocious wild animals around Fire Locust Mountain, during which time he did not neglect his cultivation.

Before leaving Firelocust Mountain to deal with demonic beasts and wild animals, he always completed his daily cultivation tasks first.

Lu Cheng'an killed only a few demonic beasts, a total of five, and all of them were early-stage first-tier demonic beasts.

The corpses of early-stage Tier 1 demon beasts were not of high value. Lu Cheng'an simply processed the useful materials from these demon beasts, while the flesh and blood were distributed to the mortal people at the foot of Fire Locust Mountain.

Those wild beasts were of no use to Lu Cheng'an, but of course, their carcasses were not wasted either.

Led by Lu Cheng'an, the mortal members of the Lu family brought back all the wild animal carcasses, using them as their daily rations, which greatly improved their living conditions.

Although the ordinary people of the Lu family have the backing of cultivators and don't have to worry about food and clothing, it's not easy for them to get a meal of meat.

After clearing out the monsters and wild beasts around Firelocust Mountain, Lu Cheng'an instructed Lu Yong and other mortal clansmen to begin preparing suitable places to live.

The area surrounding Huohuai Mountain is mostly forested, with lush vegetation, making it unsuitable for habitation.

Only by cutting down and burning these plants can more land be created to support a larger population.

During this time, Lu Cheng'an was also busy taking care of the people. Apart from his daily cultivation, he spent most of his remaining time on the mortals below the mountain.

After Lu Cheng'an led his mortal clansmen to establish a suitable place to live, he sent a message to the clansmen, asking some mortals from places like Black Pine Mountain to migrate to Fire Locust Mountain.

Not long after Lu Cheng'an's message reached the clan, the Lu family cultivators of Chiyan Mountain sprang into action, leading 15,000 mortals to Huohuai Mountain. Lu Cheng'an had already cleared out the demonic beasts and ferocious wild animals along the route from Chiyan Mountain to Huohuai Mountain, so the 15,000 mortals need not worry about encountering any danger during their migration.

Even so, with such a large number of people migrating, their journey was very slow. It took them nearly two days to reach the hundred-mile distance from Chiyan Mountain to Huohuai Mountain.

These mortals outnumbered the Lu family of Huohuai Mountain by three times. However, with Lu Cheng'an, a cultivator, in charge of Huohuai Mountain, even if the number of these mortals from other families doubled, they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.

The difference between mortals and cultivators lies in their level of life, and there is an insurmountable chasm between them.

After handing over these mortals to the Lu family cultivators who had sent them to Firelocust Mountain, Lu Cheng'an personally gave these outsiders a lecture.

After that, he instructed Lu Yong to quickly settle these newly arrived outsiders in Huohuai Mountain and to report to him immediately if any problems arose.

After dealing with these mundane matters, Lu Cheng'an immediately returned to his cave on Fire Locust Mountain.

During this time, apart from his daily cultivation, he had been dealing with mundane affairs and had not crafted any magical artifacts or ventured into the lava river to search for spiritual herbs.

"The mundane matters are temporarily put to rest. Lu Yong is quite capable, and with him overseeing things, there shouldn't be any problems with those mundane matters."

Lu Cheng'an breathed a slight sigh of relief. Looking at the slowly flowing lava river in front of him, he decided to explore it further now.

"Explore the riverbank first. If there is no danger on the riverbank, then we can explore the lava river."

Lu Cheng'an felt that the riverbank was definitely safer than the lava river. Even if he encountered danger, he could use the Fire Shadow Technique to escape quickly, but it wouldn't be so easy in the lava river.

After making his decision, Lu Cheng'an stood on the bank of the lava river and carefully sensed the surroundings before choosing a direction where the spiritual energy and fire energy were relatively abundant.

The banks of the lava river are made of hard, smooth rock, as if they were formed by the surging lava flow in ancient times.

Lu Cheng'an walked slowly and deliberately, keeping a close eye on his surroundings as he went.

Time passed slowly, and soon more than half an hour had gone by.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an stopped. His divine sense power spread out, and his eyes were fixed on the front. One after another, fiery red toads appeared in Lu Cheng'an's line of sight.

"This is a swarm of red toads!"

Lu Cheng'an's gaze swept quickly over the red toads. He was slightly excited because a large number of fire lotuses were growing around these red toads.

The Earth Fire Lotus is a fire-attribute spiritual herb that grows in layers of rock rich in fire energy.

This elixir is highly valuable and can be used to refine various types of pills, such as those for detoxification, healing, and aiding cultivation.

Because this kind of spiritual herb has very demanding growing conditions and is difficult to cultivate artificially, its price is higher than that of other pills of the same grade.
