Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Chapter 7 Black Pine Mountain Bandits (Please recommend and continue reading!)
Among the five talismans, besides a golden light talisman comparable to the full-force attack of a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, there is also a defensive talisman, the Earth Armor Talisman.

The Earth Armor Talisman can withstand three full-force attacks from a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator, making it far more valuable than the Golden Light Talisman.

Besides these talismans, there were also pills and spirit stones, but the pills were all low-grade first-tier pills.

"Uncle, I don't need these pills anymore. My cultivation has already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Lu Cheng'an was able to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in such a short time by relying on the power of the panel and the Fire Virtue Spirit Body. Therefore, Lu Wenhua never thought that Lu Cheng'an would break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining at this time. He had prepared pills to assist cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining.

"With your current cultivation level, you can break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. You will definitely be able to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the future!"

Lu Wenhua's face showed excitement. He looked at Lu Cheng'an and said in a deep voice, "There is hope for avenging your parents, aunt, and siblings!"

These were all Lu Wenhua and Lu Cheng'an's close relatives, who had all died at the hands of the Zhao family cultivators. This was the source of the greatest pain for Lu Wenhua and Lu Cheng'an.

The uncle and nephew rarely mentioned them, but they always thought about avenging them, though they never spoke of it aloud, because their hope of revenge was too slim.

Lu Cheng'an's breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining at this time gave Lu Wenhua great hope, and he was so excited that he brought up the matter.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely kill Zhao Wusheng in the future to avenge our parents!" Lu Cheng'an said coldly.

He wasn't very confident before, but now that he has the panel in hand, if he still can't break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, then he might as well commit suicide now.

"Haha, Uncle believes you!"

Lu Wenhua laughed out loud. He wiped away the tears that were about to fall from his eyes and then looked at the four corpses: "Cheng'an, have you been able to identify these people?"

“I searched their bodies, but I didn’t find any clues. I only found these few spirit stones and this silver needle magic tool.”

Lu Cheng'an took out the items he had looted from the four men and handed them to Lu Wenhua for inspection.

Lu Wenhua glanced at them briefly before looking away, then looked at the four people again.

Lu Wenhua checked the four people again, a slightly serious look appearing on his face: "I have some guesses about the identities of these people. They may be from that group of bandits from Black Pine Mountain."

When Lu Wenhua mentioned the bandits and cultivators of Black Pine Mountain, a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Black Pine Mountain is less than a hundred miles away from Red Smoke Mountain, which is occupied by the Lu family. The bandits of Black Pine Mountain are best at killing and robbing treasures.

After the Lu family settled in Chiyan Mountain, they also learned about the situation of the surrounding cultivators. Black Pine Mountain had once wiped out many weak cultivation families in order to seize treasures.

"The leader of the bandits in Black Pine Mountain is Liu Xun. He is at the ninth level of Qi Refining and is currently preparing resources to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. He is now exploiting the rogue cultivators in the Black Pine Mountain area very severely. Many weak rogue cultivators are now unable to survive there and are desperately trying to escape from Black Pine Mountain. These four people may have escaped from Black Pine Mountain."

Lu Wenhua said in a deep voice, "Our Lu family has only recently settled in Chiyan Mountain, and it is relatively close to Heisong Mountain. The clan leader believes that Liu Xun has a great chance of making a move against the family."

Simply exploiting the rogue cultivators of Black Pine Mountain wouldn't allow Liu Xun to gain much in terms of cultivation resources.

If Liu Xun wanted to gather the resources to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he could only target wealthy cultivation families. The Lu family had only recently moved to Chiyan Mountain and their foundation was relatively weak, making them the best target.

"Since the clan leader has already sensed the danger, is there any way to deal with it?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

Lu Cheng'an didn't know much about the bandits and cultivators of Black Pine Mountain, and he was worried that his family was no match for them.

"You don't need to worry about that. The clan leader has already made arrangements. If Liu Xun really dares to attack our Lu family, we will make sure he doesn't return alive. At that time, the Black Pine Mountain spiritual land will also be occupied by the family, which will greatly alleviate the family's financial crisis."

Lu Wenhua smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, saying, "There may be some turmoil in the family recently. You stay here and guard Huohuai Mountain. I will send you some pills to help with your cultivation when I return."

Lu Cheng'an has no intention of returning to Chiyan Mountain for the time being. He has not yet explored the lava river under Huohuai Mountain. He will not return to Chiyan Mountain until he has explored the lava river here.

Lu Wenhua helped Lu Cheng'an dispose of the four people's bodies, and then he took the Fire Essence Mother Fungus and the Red Jelly Toad corpse that Lu Cheng'an had picked in the underground passage back to Chiyan Mountain.

After Lu Wenhua left Huohuai Mountain, Lu Chengan entered the underground passage again.

He had been in a hurry to deal with the four people's corpses, and the mana he had lost in his dantian had not fully recovered. Now he needed to meditate again to recover his lost mana.

…………

After returning to Chiyan Mountain from Huohuai Mountain, Lu Wenhua immediately handed over the five Fire Essence Mother Fungus and the corpse of the Red Jelly Toad to Lu Wenxing.

"Cheng'an is truly remarkable. He was entrusted with guarding Huohuai Mountain, yet he still managed to have such an opportunity!" Lu Wenxing said with great joy.

"Cheng'an is indeed a good child. If it weren't for the changes in his family, with Cheng'an's talent, his cultivation would definitely have been able to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!"

Lu Wenmei smiled and looked at Lu Wenhua: "Wenhua, you have a good nephew. I can refine the Fire Essence Mother Fungus into Fire Fungus Pill. With the help of the Fire Fungus Pill's medicinal power, you should be confident in breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining!"

"Haha, Cheng'an is indeed very good. When he handed this Fire Essence Mother Fungus to me, he was still talking about having the Second Elder refine it into Fire Fungus Pills!"

Lu Wenhua had a big smile on his face: "I'll leave the matter of refining the Fire Mushroom Pill to the Second Elder. If I can refine the medicinal power of the Fire Mushroom Pill, I'm at least 80% confident that I can break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"Your cultivation has broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, which is a great thing for the family."

Elder Lu Wensheng said with a smile, "Besides Liu Xun, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, there are four other cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining among the bandits of Black Pine Mountain, but only one is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. If Wen Hua's cultivation breaks through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, the bandits of Black Pine Mountain will be even less of a threat."

"Then I'll trouble the Second Elder to refine the Fire Ganoderma Pill as soon as possible. I'm afraid Liu Xun can't endure it for much longer!" Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

Lu Wenmei readily agreed.

At this point, Lu Wenhua brought up the matter of Lu Chengan's cultivation breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
