Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 4, Fourth Level of Qi Refining (Please continue reading and recommend!)

Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged in the underground passage. As the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique was activated, the spiritual energy and fiery energy surging in the passage frantically converged into his body.

After these spiritual energies and fiery energies entered Lu Cheng'an's body, they were quickly refined by the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique and transformed into surging magical power that was transported into his dantian.

After Lu Cheng'an circulated the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique for one full cycle, the fiery energy and spiritual energy in the passage converged into his body at an even faster speed, almost forming a layer of fiery red cocoon around his body.

Lu Cheng'an did not stop circulating the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, but instead refined the fiery energy and spiritual energy surging into his body at an even faster pace.

As the magical power in Lu Cheng'an's dantian increased, he seemed to hear a booming sound in his mind, and an invisible barrier was broken. His cultivation level successfully broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Qi Refining Level 4!"

After sensing the change in his cultivation level, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but smile. He then immediately began to check his panel attributes.

Name: Lu Cheng'an

Lifespan: 16/92

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

[Cultivation: Fourth level of Qi refining (0/100)]

[Technique: Heavenly Fire Profound Technique (Minor Success 46/100)]

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

"After breaking through in cultivation, my lifespan actually increased by three years, and my comprehension of the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique also increased by ten points!"

Lu Cheng'an quickly noticed the changes in the attributes on the panel. He could understand the deepening of his comprehension of the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique, but he didn't quite understand the increase in lifespan.

"In the cultivation world, lifespan doesn't change much with the advancement of Qi Refining Realm cultivation. The fact that my lifespan is showing an increase of three years on the panel must be due to the panel."

Lu Cheng'an didn't dwell on this matter, since it wasn't a bad thing for him.

"Let's consolidate our cultivation first, and then explore the underground passage further tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll find something good!"

Lu Cheng'an's mind was in turmoil. Once his chaotic thoughts calmed down, he began to focus on consolidating his newly achieved breakthrough in cultivation.

The day passed quickly, and early the next morning, Lu Cheng'an left his cultivation place and headed deeper into the underground passage.

At the end of the underground passage is a river of lava. The deeper one goes into the underground passage, the more intense the fiery energy becomes, and the temperature also continues to rise.

Now that Lu Cheng'an is imbued with the Fire Virtue Spirit Body, the fiery aura that would be almost fatal to ordinary cultivators has not harmed him, nor has the ever-increasing temperature affected him.

Even so, Lu Cheng'an's speed in penetrating the underground passage was still very slow.

The fiery aura and scorching temperature would not harm him, but the demonic beasts living within could kill him.

Although the underground passage has a very harsh environment, some special monsters are able to survive in such an environment.

Monsters that can adapt to such harsh environments often possess extraordinary abilities, which makes them even more difficult to deal with.

Previously, when the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Lu family came to investigate this underground passage, they discovered several early-stage first-tier demonic beasts here.

Lu Cheng'an extended his divine sense, cautiously exploring the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, he stopped, a wide smile spreading across his face. "A top-grade, first-tier Fire Essence Mother Mushroom!"

This elixir can be used to refine Fire Mushroom Pills, which can assist cultivators practicing fire-attribute techniques in breaking through their cultivation levels. It is best suited for cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"The Second Elder is a first-grade high-level alchemist. I wonder if she can refine the Fire Mushroom Pill?"

If she can refine the Fire Ganoderma Pill, her uncle can take it to break through his cultivation level.

Lu Cheng'an's uncle, Lu Wenhua, has been stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining for some years. He cultivates fire-attribute techniques, and with the help of the Fire Mushroom Pill, he has a high chance of breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Lu Cheng'an was about to pick the four Fire Essence Mother Fungus in front of him when he suddenly stopped.

His eyes narrowed, and a fiery red light flashed from his fingertips. In an instant, a finger imprint was pointed out like lightning.

As a strange cry rang out, a toad the size of a palm appeared in Lu Cheng'an's sight.

The toad was entirely fiery red, and its exposed skin was covered with red pustules containing potent toxins.

Under the cover of the dense fiery aura, this mid-stage Tier 1 toad perfectly concealed its presence.

If Lu Chengan hadn't had a rather special constitution, he would have had a hard time discovering the toad's existence.

"I killed a mid-stage first-tier Crimson Toad just like that. Is the power of a fully-mastered Fire Void Finger really that strong?"

Even the weakest of the mid-stage first-tier demonic beasts is comparable to a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. The mid-stage first-tier red toad that Lu Cheng'an encountered belonged to the weakest of these.

However, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. He killed the Red Toad with a single strike using the Fire Void Finger, and he still found it hard to believe.

What Lu Cheng'an didn't know was that he had the blessing of the Fire Virtue Spirit Body, and the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique he cultivated had also been modified in terms of the panel. In addition, because he refined the Fire Fiend Qi during cultivation, his strength far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level.

"The corpse of a mid-stage first-tier red sap toad can also be used to refine pills, but its entire body is highly poisonous and must be handled with care."

Since Lu Cheng'an didn't have any items on him that could isolate the toxins from the Red Toad, he didn't dispose of the Red Toad's carcass for the time being. Instead, he picked the five first-grade high-quality Fire Essence Mother Fungus.

After carefully collecting the five Fire Essence Mother Fungus, Lu Cheng'an left the underground passage with them and returned to his residence on Fire Locust Mountain.

Afterwards, he used his tools to bring the carcass of the red toad out of the underground passage and then took out a bluish-white talisman.

This is a top-grade first-tier communication talisman, extremely rare. Currently, only cultivators from the Lu family who are on missions outside the area can use this type of talisman.

Although the family gave this talisman to Lu Cheng'an, Lu Cheng'an cannot use it at will unless a major accident occurs at the Fire Locust Mountain that he is guarding.

The value of the five first-grade superior fire essence mother fungus exceeded that of the communication talisman, which is why Lu Cheng'an chose to use the communication talisman.

After Lu Cheng'an used a communication talisman to send the message back to his clan, he carefully put the talisman away.

This talisman can be used five times before its power is completely exhausted.

"It's been a while since I last visited the mortal people down the mountain. I wonder how they are doing now?"

After carefully collecting the corpses of the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and the Red Toad, Lu Cheng'an headed down Fire Locust Mountain.
