"I've called you all here now mainly to tell you some good news!"

After returning to Chiyan Mountain, Lu Wenxing immediately summoned all the elders of the Lu family to the council hall.

This includes Lu Wensheng, the eldest elder who guards the market town of Heisongshan, and Lu Wenjing, the fourth elder who guards the iron mother mine of Heishishan.

A considerable amount of time has passed since Lu Wenxing asked Yang Chongyu, a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Dan Ding Sect, to refine the Earth Origin Pill. Both Lu Wensheng and Lu Wenmei have exchanged for and consumed the Earth Origin Pill.

With the help of the Earth Origin Pill, the two have now both broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

After exploring the scale of the spirit stone mine, Lu Wenxing immediately sent a message to Lu Wensheng and Lu Wenjing, urging them to return to their family as soon as possible.

Now that the Lu family is a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, with this title, even if the Black Pine Mountain Market and Black Stone Mountain Iron Mother Mine are not guarded by a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Lu family for a short period of time, there will be no problem.

"After Cheng'an and I completed our cooperation with the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan, that second-tier cultivator from the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan told us about a spirit stone mine."

Cheng'an and I just went to explore that spirit stone mine. The cultivator who was a fire-repelling earth spider was not lying. There is indeed a spirit stone mine in the place she mentioned!

It was a small spirit stone mine. I explored it briefly and estimated it contained about 100,000 spirit stones. The mine was located in a valley southeast of Crimson Smoke Mountain.

Lu Wenxing's gaze swept over Lu Wensheng and the other elders of the Lu family one by one. He didn't keep them in suspense and directly told them about the spirit stone mine.

"A spirit stone mine containing 100,000 spirit stones, and it's only 200 miles away from Crimson Smoke Mountain!"

"When should we start mining? This needs to be done secretly; we absolutely cannot let the news leak out!"

…………

The elders of the Lu family, including Lu Wensheng, were filled with excitement and couldn't help but start discussing it.

Lu Wenxing did not speak to stop them, because he felt the same way as the elders of the family.

After a moment, once the elders of the Lu family had calmed down a bit, Lu Wenxing spoke up: "The spirit stone mine is located deep underground, and it is not easy to mine. The family cannot rush to mine that spirit stone mine now."

A solemn expression appeared on Lu Wenxing's face. After a slight pause, he continued, "I'm going to Tianyan City to purchase a second-tier defensive spirit array. Once we've made sufficient preparations, we'll begin mining that spirit stone mine."

A complete set of Tier 2 defensive spirit arrays is very expensive. Even the lowest-grade Tier 2 low-level defensive spirit array requires at least a thousand spirit stones.

Since Lu Wenxing broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm and the Black Pine Mountain Market reopened, the Lu family has accumulated some spirit stones, enough to purchase a second-tier defensive spirit array.

Moreover, the Lu family had just completed a transaction with Zhu Yan, and the several pieces of second-grade low-quality ore that Zhu Yan used in exchange were quite valuable and could solve the Lu family's urgent needs.

The Spirit Stone Mine is of great importance and requires thorough preparation.

The Lu family currently only has Lu Wenxing, a cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Even with the assistance of a second-grade low-level defensive spirit array, Lu Wenxing is confident that he can withstand the attacks of several early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, it is essential to purchase a second-tier defensive spirit array for the spirit stone mine.

Lu Wensheng and the others naturally understood the key point: the spirit stone mine contained 100,000 spirit stones, and investing several thousand spirit stones in the early stage was entirely worthwhile.

Therefore, after Lu Wenxing proposed purchasing a second-tier defensive spirit array, neither Lu Wensheng nor the other elders of the Lu family raised any objections. "Since the elders have agreed, I will go to Tianyan City immediately to purchase the second-tier defensive spirit array!"

A faint smile appeared on Lu Wenxing's face, then he frowned and said, "The family is not very close to Tianyan City, and even with my speed, it will take some time. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to go to Tianyan City and purchase the spirit array needed to cultivate the second-tier spirit vein. What do you elders think?"

Chiyan Mountain only has a few first-order spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy contained in these veins is far from enough to support the daily cultivation of Lu Wenxing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Lu family is currently facing financial difficulties, so Lu Wenxing has been putting off the cultivation of second-tier spiritual veins.

This time, the family obtained a great deal of treasures from the trade with the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider, and also secured a spirit stone mine. The family's finances will be much more comfortable from now on.

After careful consideration, Lu Wenxing finally decided to put the cultivation of second-tier spiritual veins on the agenda.

“It should have been done long ago, we have no objection!” Lu Wensheng said immediately.

After Lu Wensheng finished speaking, Lu Wenmei and other elders of the Lu family immediately echoed his words.

They are still able to distinguish between primary and secondary matters. Now that their Lu family is a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, they rely on only the clan leader.

The stronger the patriarch's cultivation level, the safer and more prosperous the Lu family will be.

Upon hearing the replies from Lu Wensheng and the other elders of the Lu family, Lu Wenxing's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, replaced by a pleasant smile.

"Then it's settled. The matter of that spirit stone mine must be kept secret. Before I return from Tianyan City, none of you are to go to the valley where the spirit stone mine is located!" Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

The valley where the spirit stone mine is located is quite ordinary. The spirit stones it contains are located relatively deep underground; otherwise, no cultivator would have discovered its existence until now.

If the Lu family were to send people to guard that valley now, it would only attract the attention of other cultivators.

It's better to just ignore it; that way, it won't cause any trouble.

Lu Wensheng and the other elders of the Lu family naturally agreed.

After giving some more instructions to the elders of the Lu family, Lu Wenxing retrieved resources from the clan treasury and quickly left Chiyan Mountain, heading towards Tianyan City.

The news of Lu Wenxing leaving Chiyan Mountain was also kept secret by the Lu family, because Lu Wenxing was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Lu family.

The Lu family still has an enemy like the Qingling Chen family. If the Qingling Chen family finds out that Lu Wenxing is not currently at Chiyan Mountain, it is hard to guarantee that they will not take any dangerous actions.

After Lu Wenxing left Chiyan Mountain, Lu Wensheng and Lu Wenjing also returned to their respective posts.

After telling his uncle, Lu Cheng'an returned to Huohuai Mountain.

On the banks of the lava river at the foot of Huohuai Mountain, Lu Cheng'an sat cross-legged, looking at the surging fiery red lava in front of him, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

"Where is the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan now? They haven't appeared since the deal with Zhu Yan was completed!"

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly. He really wanted to learn about the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains from Zhu Yan.
