Chapter 67 Fire-Repelling Earth Spider (Please subscribe and vote!)

Lu Cheng'an had already refined the Fire Scale Armor three times before. He was well-prepared for refining this magical artifact, and apart from the first time when he failed due to his unfamiliarity with it, the other two times were successful.

Lu Cheng'an has already returned the two Fire Scale Armor pieces to the Lu family. First-grade high-quality defensive magic artifacts are quite rare, and even the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the Lu family do not have one each.

Therefore, the two first-grade high-quality fire scale robes were not sent to Black Pine Mountain Market, but were bought from Lu Cheng'an in the name of the family.

The price of a first-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon is between 150 and 200 spirit stones. The two fire scale armors that Lu Cheng'an initially refined were not of particularly good quality, but the Lu family still bought them for the highest price of 200 spirit stones.

Lu Cheng'an is now quite wealthy. The magical artifacts he has crafted, as well as the materials from the demon beasts and spiritual herbs such as earth element grass obtained from the underground lava river, have all added up to 4,500 spirit stones in his possession.

This is already a tremendous fortune; it can be said that Lu Cheng'an is now the wealthiest person in the Lu family.

On the banks of the lava river, after taking out the refining furnace, Lu Cheng'an also took out the already refined Fire Scale Armor Emblem.

The Fire Scale Robe is a defensive magical artifact, but it is not armor-style; it looks like a normal robe.

It was for this reason that Lu Cheng'an spent so much time refining the weapon embryo.

After Lu Cheng'an placed the Fire Scale Armor blank into the refining furnace, he used the Fire Gathering Technique to begin refining the Fire Scale Armor blank.

When the temperature inside the refining furnace reached a certain level, Lu Cheng'an cast a refining incantation, then closed his eyes and released his divine sense to begin imprinting runes onto the weapon blank.

This is the most crucial step in crafting magical artifacts; it cannot be disturbed by external forces and should ideally be completed in one go.

The crafting of the Fire Scale Armor requires the imprinting of as many as nine runes. Lu Cheng'an had already accumulated some experience, so this time when imprinting these runes, he felt it was relatively easier.

Time passed slowly, and after spending a day and two hours, Lu Cheng'an finally completed imprinting all nine talisman arrays without encountering any problems.

At this point, the Fire Scale Armor was considered to be in its initial stages of refinement, and it was ready to be sold.

However, Lu Cheng'an was particular about quality when refining magical artifacts. He needed to repeatedly temper the Fire Scale Armor with the lava river water after the rune array was branded inside, until the rune array inside would not easily collapse before it could be considered truly finished.

For one day and two hours, Lu Cheng'an's spiritual power was rapidly depleting, so he did not directly put the Fire Scale Armor into the lava river to temper it, but instead began to meditate to recover.

Two hours later, Lu Cheng'an had basically recovered, but he did not begin to temper the Fire Scale Armor. Instead, he began to cultivate the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique.

It has been almost a year since he broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. His cultivation progress is quite good, and he should be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining in about two more months.

Three hours later, Lu Cheng'an finished his daily cultivation. Without any delay, he immediately took out the Fire Scale Robe from his storage bag, preparing to use the magma water to temper this magical artifact.

"I am Zhu Yan, from the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan of the Burning Flame Mountains. Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions towards you!"

Just as Lu Cheng'an took the Fire Scale Armor out of his storage bag, he saw the churning lava river in front of him, and a huge red spider appeared in his sight.

He recognized the red spider at a glance; it was the early-stage second-tier Fire-Repelling Earth Spider he had seen deep in the lava river.

After a moment of shock, Lu Cheng'an quickly calmed down. With a thought, he took out the Mountain and Water Handkerchief and a second-grade low-level defensive talisman from his storage bag, and then took out a communication talisman to send a message to his family.

After relaying the news of the appearance of second-tier spirit race and demon beasts in the lava river back to his clan, Lu Wenxing pondered for a while and finally handed over the second-tier low-grade defensive magic artifact, the Mountain and Water Cloth, to Lu Cheng'an. He also purchased a second-tier low-grade defensive talisman for Lu Cheng'an to protect himself.

Lu Wenxing was also aware of Lu Chengan's strength. Although Lu Chengan was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he was already able to activate the Mountain and Water Cloth, a second-grade low-level defensive magic weapon.

Relying on the Mountain and Water Cloth, a defensive magic artifact, and a second-tier low-grade defensive talisman, Lu Cheng'an was able to put up a fight even against early-stage second-tier demonic beasts and spirit races, escape from the underground lava river, and hold out until his family's rescue.

After taking out the Mountain and Water Handkerchief and the second-grade low-level defensive talisman, and sending a message to his family, Lu Cheng'an felt a little relieved. At this moment, his gaze fell on the second-grade Fire-Repelling Earth Spider in front of him, and he asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what purpose you have come here this time, senior?"

"You're a weapon refiner, right? I'd like to ask you to refine some magical artifacts. I can offer you extremely generous compensation!" Zhu Yan said gently, treating Lu Cheng'an with great courtesy.

The Spirit Race in the cultivation world is weak. Although their relationship with the human race is not as bad as that between the demon race and the human race, it is definitely not particularly good either.

The Spirit Race and the Demon Race are far inferior to the Human Race in their exploration of the various arts of cultivation, mainly because they have no talent in these arts.

The Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan lives deep within the Burning Flame Mountains and has virtually no interaction with human cultivators outside.

The area deep within the Burning Flame Mountains is currently in chaos. The Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan is not a strong force among the clans in the Burning Flame Mountains, which is why Zhu Yan led his clan away from the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.

Some time ago, they discovered a group of Fire-kissed Crocodiles occupying a second-tier spiritual vein. In order to seize that second-tier spiritual vein, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Fire-kissed Crocodile group.

The Fire Crocodile swarm's strength far exceeded Zhu Yan's expectations, and seizing the second-tier spiritual vein occupied by them would be no easy task.

Zhu Yan discovered Lu Cheng'an refining magical artifacts in the lava river while she was out exploring, a situation that was completely unexpected by Zhu Yan.

After all, in her understanding, low-level human cultivators simply couldn't adapt to the environment of a lava river, let alone refine magical artifacts in such an environment.

However, she remained hidden in the shadows, watching Lu Cheng'an refine the magical artifact bit by bit.

After careful consideration, she finally decided to ask Lu Cheng'an, a human weapon refiner, to help her refine a magical artifact.

The magical artifacts crafted by humans are extremely powerful. If cultivators in their race all possess magical artifacts, their combat capabilities will be greatly enhanced.

As for resorting to violence against Lu Cheng'an, Zhu Yan never even considered doing so.

Unless absolutely necessary, she did not want to offend human cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an was quite surprised when he heard Zhu Yan's request. He did not expect that Zhu Yan, the Fire-Repelling Earth Spider, would want to ask him to refine a magic weapon.

"I wonder what kind of magical artifact Senior Zhu wishes to forge?" Lu Cheng'an inquired.

If that's really Zhu Yan's goal, then he could indeed cooperate with her, since he was going to refine magical artifacts anyway.
