Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 34 The Red Toad Swarm (Please continue reading and recommend!)
"These red toads range in rank from early to mid-first rank, but there must be a toad king of late-first rank in the group."

Looking at the vast expanse of Earth Fire Lotus, Lu Cheng'an felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

However, he did not act rashly. The group of red toads he discovered was quite large, and with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to deal with them all.

"No other cultivators will enter the lava river, and these earth fire lotuses won't grow legs and run away. Let's go back and think it over carefully before deciding what to do."

Lu Cheng'an was still some distance away from the red toads, whose eyesight was not very good and they did not notice his presence.

After taking one last look at the vast expanse of Earth Fire Lotus, Lu Cheng'an turned and returned to the entrance of the underground passage.

"The corpse of the Red Toad can also be used to refine pills. Many of the Earth Fire Lotuses in that patch are of the highest grade, first rank. I should send this message back to the clan and ask them to prepare some high-grade first rank talismans for me!"

The Lu family has stored a first-grade high-quality talisman. When Lu Cheng'an went to Hongyu Mountain, Lu Wenxing gave him a first-grade high-quality defensive talisman to ensure his safety.

The Fire Lotus and Red Lava Toad he discovered in the underground lava river were of very high quality; even if he wasted two top-grade first-tier talismans, he would still make a profit.

After making his decision, Lu Cheng'an immediately relayed the news back to his family.

Lu Wenhua had been keeping an eye on Lu Chengan's news. As soon as Lu Chengan used the communication talisman to send a message, Lu Wenhua saw the message Lu Chengan sent.

Without delay, Lu Wenhua immediately relayed the message from Lu Chengan to Lu Wenxing.

"Cheng'an actually discovered the miraculous herb, the Earth Fire Lotus, in the underground magma river!"

A look of joy appeared on Lu Wenxing's face. The Earth Fire Lotus was an extremely rare spiritual herb. If Lu Cheng'an could harvest all of them, it would definitely bring a considerable income to the family.

“It is indeed a Fire Lotus, but a group of Red Milk Toads live in the place where the Fire Lotus grows. Cheng An did not go close to check. He thought that there were late-stage first-tier beings among those Red Milk Toads.”

Cheng'an's cultivation had only recently broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. He was worried that he wouldn't be a match for those red toads, so he wanted to borrow a few high-grade first-tier talismans from his family for self-defense. "Lu Wenhua said.

When Lu Wenxing heard that Lu Chengan wanted to obtain a first-grade high-quality talisman, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

For a Qi Refining Immortal Clan like the Lu Family, a first-grade high-quality talisman is definitely a strategic resource. Such things are not easily used unless absolutely necessary, and are generally regarded as part of the family's foundation.

Lu Wenxing quickly calculated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I will go to the clan treasury now and take four first-grade high-quality talismans. You will give these four talismans to Cheng'an later. Be sure to tell Cheng'an to be careful. If those red toads are too powerful, just give up on those earth fire lotuses."

The Earth Fire Lotus is far rarer than a first-grade high-quality talisman. He is going to attend an auction held by the Heavenly Flame Sect. There will definitely be a lot of cultivators attending the auction, and the Earth Fire Lotus may fetch a good price there.

After all, the Earth Fire Lotus has demanding growing conditions, and it is very difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain this spiritual herb.

"Don't worry, clan leader, I will instruct Cheng'an!" Lu Wenhua said.

After Lu Wenxing and Lu Wenhua made their agreement, they quickly went to the clan treasury and retrieved four first-grade high-quality talismans.

These four Tier 1 high-grade talismans consist of two defensive talismans and two offensive talismans.

The two defensive talismans were Earth Element Talismans, which Lu Wenxing had once given to Lu Cheng'an for self-defense; the offensive talisman was a Water Sword Talisman, which was quite effective against fire-attribute monsters.

After Lu Wenxing handed the four talismans to Lu Wenhua, Lu Wenhua immediately set off from Chiyan Mountain and quickly arrived at Huohuai Mountain. After sending a message to the clan, Lu Cheng'an left through the underground lava river and returned to his cave on Huohuai Mountain to wait for the cultivators sent by the clan.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an had already sensed something before Lu Wenhua even arrived at the cave on Fire Locust Mountain.

"Uncle!"

Upon seeing Lu Wenhua, Lu Cheng'an's face lit up with joy, and he quickly welcomed Lu Wenhua into the cave.

"Cheng'an, this is the first-grade high-quality talisman you requested... Please be extremely careful. Although the Earth Fire Lotus is precious, it is far less important than you. If those Red Lava Toads are too strong, you must immediately retreat from the lava river!"

After handing the four talismans to Lu Cheng'an, Lu Wenhua looked at Lu Cheng'an with a serious expression and instructed him to be extremely careful.

"Don't worry, Uncle. The underground magma river in Fire Locust Mountain hasn't nurtured any second-tier spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy within it isn't enough to sustain second-tier demonic beasts. With these four first-tier high-grade talismans in hand, I'm sure I'll be fine," Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Once a demon beast's rank advances to the second tier, its strength becomes comparable to that of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and its intelligence also increases significantly.

Monsters of this rank do not live near first-tier spiritual veins where spiritual energy is scarce. In order to gain greater strength, they will search for suitable second-tier spiritual veins at any cost.

"Just be careful. When are you planning to go and pick those Earth Fire Lotuses?" Lu Wenhua asked.

"There's no time to lose, I'll go now."

After putting away the four first-grade high-quality talismans, Lu Cheng'an looked at Lu Wenhua and asked, "Uncle, are you going to wait for me here, or return to the family first?"

“I’ll stay on Firelocust Mountain and wait for you to come out!” Lu Wenhua said quickly.

"Then I'll be faster!"

Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any time. After saying goodbye to Lu Wenhua, he went straight into the underground cave.

Lu Cheng'an had walked through this underground cave countless times. He quickly passed through the cave and arrived at the bank of the underground lava river. Then he walked briskly towards the area where the earth fire lotus grew.

Soon after, Lu Cheng'an stopped and looked at the red magma toad squatting on the bank of the magma river. At the same time, he cast the Fire Armor Technique and the Fire Void Finger Technique.

Lu Cheng'an had cultivated both of these spells to perfection, so the consumption of his magical power was negligible when he used them.

Moreover, the power of spells at the Perfect Realm is greatly enhanced, and the casting speed becomes extremely fast.

A fiery red armor appeared around Lu Cheng'an, completely enveloping his body.

At the same time, a fiery red finger mark was struck out, as fast as lightning, and instantly it struck a mid-stage first-tier red toad.

This mid-stage first-tier red sap toad is very strong, comparable to a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

However, the power of the Fire Void Finger Seal at the Perfected Realm is terrifying. This first-stage Red Milk Toad, which is comparable to a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, was killed by the Fire Void Finger Seal before it even understood what was happening!
