Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 56 Refining Spiritual Materials (Please continue reading and recommend!)

"You don't need to worry too much about the volcanic eruption in the Burning Flame Mountains. There will be many unusual phenomena before the volcano actually erupts, and we will have enough time to prepare. You just need to focus on your cultivation in Fire Locust Mountain!"

Lu Wenhua smiled and looked at Lu Chengan, saying, "I have delivered all the refining materials you need. In addition, the clan leader also asked me to deliver some iron mother mined from Blackstone Mountain."

These iron mothers have already been tempered and are probably ready to be used to forge magical artifacts. You can check them out first.

Lu Cheng'an had already taken these refining materials out of his storage bag, and the iron mother was placed in a separate place.

Following Lu Wenhua's instructions, Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell upon the iron mothers that had already been tempered, and then his brows furrowed slightly.

“Uncle, which member of the clan refined these iron mother stones? The refining method is a bit too crude. Although they can be used to make magic weapons, the quality of the magic weapons will definitely not be high. However, I can refine them again, which will also reduce the time I spend refining the iron mother stone ore.”

"The clan is short of cultivators, and no clansman has yet chosen to forge magic weapons. These iron mothers were forged by rogue cultivators recruited by the clan."

Lu Wenhua smiled and said, "If you have time, you can take some time to go back to the family. The rogue cultivators recruited by the family are at the foot of Chiyan Mountain. You can give them some pointers on how to temper iron mother. You can also give them the ore you mined from the underground lava river for preliminary tempering. It will save you some time."

The rogue cultivators recruited by the Lu family knew some crude methods of refining ores, but they had not undergone systematic training and had no lineage to inherit them.

Therefore, the Lu family only allowed them to refine some iron mother ore temporarily. The refined iron mother ore would be handed over to Lu Cheng'an for inspection. If it was acceptable, the rogue cultivators would continue to refine it.

If it's really too bad, then we'll just have to let those rogue cultivators leave.

According to Lu Cheng'an, those rogue cultivators are still somewhat useful. If they receive further guidance from Lu Cheng'an, they will definitely make further progress.

Even if Lu Cheng'an didn't use these iron mothers, which had undergone simple tempering, he could still sell them for a higher price if he did.

"There's no time to lose. I'll go back to the family with my uncle right now." After a moment's thought, Lu Cheng'an quickly made his decision.

This won't take him too long. If those rogue cultivators can really refine the materials that meet his requirements, then the time he needs to refine magic weapons in the future will be greatly shortened.

The family's resources are still very scarce. If those rogue cultivators can refine higher quality iron mother, it will not only reduce the time he spends refining magic weapons, but also bring greater benefits to the family.

After all, the Lu family now controls 80% of the iron ore deposits in Blackstone Mountain, and the amount of iron ore they receive each month is not small.

Lu Wenhua told Lu Cheng'an about this so that he could return to the family, but he did not expect Lu Cheng'an to be in such a hurry.

"It's better to go back now. The sooner you take over those unaffiliated religious groups, the more time you'll save!"

Lu Wenhua naturally wouldn't refuse. After he and Lu Chengan made their agreement, the uncle and nephew left Huohuai Mountain and quickly returned to their family.

The rogue cultivators recruited by the Lu family were not highly skilled, and there were only five of them.

They all entered the path of cultivation by chance, and before that, they had all done jobs similar to blacksmithing, which is why they were chosen by the Lu family.

However, there is a significant difference between crafting tools in the mortal world and refining magical artifacts by a weapon refiner, including the materials used for tempering. Iron Mother, a spiritual material, is different from ungraded refined iron. During tempering, cultivators need to mobilize their magical power to remove the impurities contained in the ore.

The five rogue cultivators recruited by the Lu family may know some tricks of the trade, but they only have a superficial understanding, which is why the iron mother they forged has so many problems.

After meeting the five rogue cultivators, Lu Cheng'an first watched them refine the iron mother ore, pointed out their mistakes, and then taught them the method of refining low-grade ores.

This method is the lowest level of refining spiritual materials in the Xu family's weapon-refining heritage, but it is already a priceless treasure for these rogue cultivators.

If they successfully learn this method, even if they leave the Lu family in the future, they will have acquired a skill to make a living.

Those mortals who can embark on cultivation on their own and become cultivators generally have decent comprehension.

The method for refining spiritual materials that Lu Cheng'an taught the five rogue cultivators was not difficult. With Lu Cheng'an's guidance, two of them mastered it in just two days.

"Zhu Ying, from now on you will be in full charge of refining iron mother ore. The iron mother ore that is finally refined must meet the standards I have set."

Lu Cheng'an looked seriously at the middle-aged man in front of him. This middle-aged man was named Zhu Ying, and his cultivation level was at the fifth level of Qi Refining. He was the most skilled among the five rogue cultivators and the one who mastered the method of refining spiritual materials that Lu Cheng'an had taught them the fastest.

"Please rest assured, Senior Lu, Zhu Ying guarantees to complete the mission!" Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.

Although he was much older than Lu Cheng'an, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level far surpassed his, so there was nothing wrong with him addressing Lu Cheng'an as a senior.

Lu Cheng'an nodded. He didn't say much. After teaching Zhu Ying and the other four how to refine spiritual materials, he told Lu Wenhua and then returned to Fire Locust Mountain.

He still had some semi-finished iron mothers that Zhu Ying and others had refined. After returning to Fire Locust Mountain, he spent three days re-refining those iron mothers until they met the standards for crafting magical artifacts.

After that, apart from his daily cultivation, Lu Cheng'an spent most of his time refining magical artifacts, only taking a small portion of his time to practice magic.

Lu Cheng'an exchanged a total of four spells from the family's library. He first cultivated the Fire Shadow Technique and the Fire Armor Technique, and now he has cultivated them to perfection.

He started practicing the Fire Serpent Technique a little later, but he still managed to master it to a high level, just a little short of reaching perfection.

The remaining spell is the Earth Travel Spell, which is of the second rank and incomplete. It is also somewhat incompatible with the cultivation method Lu Cheng'an practices, so he has not yet begun to cultivate it.

He used the last bit of time he had left to practice the Fire Serpent Technique and the Earth Travel Technique.

The Fire Serpent Technique was already close to completion, and after spending more than two months, Lu Cheng'an successfully cultivated it to perfection.

The Earth Travel Technique was already incomplete, and given its high rank, even with the help of the panel, Lu Cheng'an could only barely cultivate it to the entry level in more than two months.
