Chapter 36 Harvesting the Earth Fire Lotus (Please continue reading and recommend!)
"Earthfire Lotus!"

Lu Cheng'an strode to the area where the Earth Fire Lotuses grew. When he saw the blooming Earth Fire Lotuses on the ground, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

The entire plant of the Earth Fire Lotus needs to be harvested to preserve its medicinal properties. Since they grow in rocky areas, harvesting them is not an easy task.

When Lu Wenhua came this time, he prepared tools for Lu Chengan to harvest the Earth Fire Lotus. Now that all the Red Milk Toads around have been killed, there will be no more danger.

Therefore, Lu Cheng'an appeared quite calm, as he had plenty of time to pick these Earth Fire Lotuses.

Time passed slowly, and soon more than six hours had gone by.

Lu Cheng'an twisted his slightly sore neck, successfully picked the last mature Earth Fire Lotus and put it into his storage bag, then stood up from the ground.

"A total of forty-seven Earth Fire Lotuses were harvested, of which ten reached the first-grade upper quality, seventeen reached the first-grade middle quality, and the remaining twenty were the first-grade lower quality!"

Besides these mature Earth Fire Lotuses, there are also numerous immature Earth Fire Lotuses on the soil layer.

Lu Cheng'an did not touch these Earth Fire Lotuses. The underground magma river of Fire Locust Mountain was similar to his backyard. Once these Earth Fire Lotuses matured, they would still be his.

After taking stock of his gains from the trip, Lu Cheng'an wasted no time and quickly returned to his cave in Huohuai Mountain.

Lu Wenhua waited for Lu Chengan to return in the cave. Lu Chengan had been in the lava river for less than a day, but Lu Wenhua was extremely anxious, as if Lu Chengan had been in the underground lava river for a long time, which made him worry uncontrollably.

"Cheng'an, you're finally back? How strong are those red toads? Are you injured?" Lu Wenhua's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down after seeing Lu Cheng'an appear safely in front of him.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I only suffered a minor injury and will recover quickly."

"These are the corpses of the red toads I killed..."

Lu Cheng'an quickly told Lu Wenhua about his gains from the trip, and handed over the carcass of the Red Toad and the harvested Earth Fire Lotus to Lu Wenhua.

"You're taking a huge risk! You dare to attack a Red Toad that's comparable to a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator!"

Lu Wenhua looked at Lu Cheng'an with a serious expression. Although he and the clan leader had prepared four first-grade high-quality talismans for Lu Cheng'an, they also instructed him that if the red toads were too strong, he must come out immediately.

However, Lu Cheng'an did not listen to them and still took the risk.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing. I have four high-grade first-tier talismans for self-defense, otherwise I would never dare to attack a late-stage first-tier demon beast!" Lu Cheng'an assured him earnestly.

Lu Wenhua glanced at Lu Cheng'an helplessly, but he did not reprimand Lu Cheng'an for this matter.

"I'll take the Red Toad's corpse and the Earth Fire Lotus back to the clan first. After the calculations are done, and the cost of the four first-grade high-level talismans is deducted, I'll send you the final amount via message. If you need anything afterward, just send me a message, and I'll do my best to help you purchase it!" Lu Wenhua said.

“I don’t need anything for now, so please keep these spirit stones for me. If you ever need spirit stones, feel free to use them. I can also refine magical artifacts, so I definitely won’t have to worry about spirit stones in the future,” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

“Just because you don’t need it now doesn’t mean you won’t need it in the future. I’ll save these spirit stones for you so that things will be easier when you break through to the Foundation Establishment realm!” Lu Wenhua sighed.

The price of Foundation Establishment spiritual items is too high. This time, the clan leader almost exhausted the family's savings of many years in order to purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

These are just ordinary Foundation Establishment spiritual items. If it were the most precious Foundation Establishment Pill, the amount of spirit stones required would be even greater. Lu Cheng'an wasn't worried about the resources he would need to purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual items when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm. He was certain that he would be able to refine a first-grade high-quality magic weapon by then, and he could guarantee a very high success rate.

The price of a first-grade superior magic weapon is quite high; even the most ordinary first-grade superior magic weapon will cost no less than three figures of spirit stones.

With the resources of the underground lava river at his disposal, he has no need to worry about the materials for refining weapons.

Aside from needing to invest a certain amount of time and effort in crafting magical artifacts, it's basically a business with no initial investment.

It's still a long way from Lu Cheng'an breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, so Lu Wenhua didn't say much about it.

He had already spent quite a bit of time at Huohuai Mountain, and since Lu Wenxing was still waiting for the outcome of this matter, he did not stay any longer.

After seeing Lu Wenhua off from Huohuai Mountain, Lu Cheng'an went down the mountain to check on the situation of the mortal clansmen.

Those ordinary people from other families have been living in Fire Locust Mountain for some time now. Because there are Lu family cultivators stationed there, they don't dare to do anything out of line.

Lu Yong is quite capable; he handles mundane affairs in a very orderly manner.

After inspecting the situation of the mortals below the mountain, Lu Cheng'an returned to his cave on Fire Locust Mountain.

"First, heal your injuries. Once you've recovered, begin your cultivation immediately!"

There were quite a few red toads, and even though Lu Cheng'an had two first-grade high-level defensive talismans, he still inevitably suffered some injuries.

However, Lu Cheng'an's injuries were not serious. He always carried healing pills with him, and with their help, his injuries recovered quickly.

Picking the Earth Fire Lotus took up almost a whole day of Lu Cheng'an's time, leaving him with no energy to cultivate.

After recovering from his injuries, Lu Cheng'an immediately began cultivating.

He valued improving his cultivation level more than Lu Wenhua and other members of the Lu family. Even without their reminders, he wouldn't have neglected his cultivation.

After successfully harvesting the Earth Fire Lotus, Lu Cheng'an had nothing else to do.

He returned to his previous state, spending all his remaining time, apart from his daily cultivation practice, crafting magical artifacts.

The last time Lu Wenhua sent a lot of non-rank refined iron, enough for Lu Cheng'an to use for a long time.

While Lu Cheng'an was cultivating and refining magical artifacts on Fire Locust Mountain, the Lu family also entered a period of stable development.

After the Lu family, together with the local forces of the Liu and Song families, built a market town on Black Pine Mountain, they completely integrated into the cultivation world surrounding the Burning Flame Mountain Range.

As more and more cultivators traveled to and from Black Pine Mountain Market, they brought more and more resources to the Lu family, the Liu family, and the Song family, which made the relationship between the three families closer and closer.

Six months after the opening of the Black Pine Mountain Market, and four months after Lu Cheng'an picked the Fire Lotus, Lu Wenxing quietly left Chiyan Mountain.
