Chapter 92 Concealing Breath Technique (Please Subscribe!)

The dark iron rod that Xu Shao took out was a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, which Xu Shao had specially commissioned a weapon refiner to make.

The entire iron rod weighs 500 jin (approximately 250 kg), and even without the addition of magical power, it still possesses extremely strong destructive power!

After seeing Xu Shao take out the iron rod magic weapon, Lu Cheng'an took out the Xuanhuo Seal from his storage bag.

He always wore the Cloudfire Robe, a top-grade first-tier defensive magic weapon, and could activate it at any time.

When Wu Qing'an and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators saw that Lu Cheng'an and Xu Shao had prepared for battle, they did not stop them, but let them do as they pleased.

With the three Foundation Establishment cultivators present, Lu Cheng'an and Xu Shao might suffer some injuries during their fight, but they would definitely not be in any life-threatening danger.

"Lu Cheng'an, watch out, I'm about to make my move!"

Xu Shao did not launch a sneak attack; he warned Lu Cheng'an before he made his move.

He swung his hand and struck out with the dark iron rod in his hand. As he channeled his magic power, the heavy iron rod emitted a dark light.

A dull thud echoed as the iron rod, like a colossal pillar supporting the sky, crashed down upon Lu Cheng'an.

Lu Cheng'an did not use the Fire Shadow Technique to dodge, but instead summoned the Profound Fire Seal and directly used this first-grade high-quality magic weapon to meet Xu Shao's attack.

Not only that, after Lu Cheng'an unleashed the Xuanhuo Seal, he also instantly used the Fire Serpent Technique to attack Xu Shao.

Lu Cheng'an had already cultivated the Fire Serpent Technique to perfection. Although it was also an offensive technique, its offensive power was not as strong as the Fire Void Finger.

The Fire Serpent Technique leans more towards entanglement and binding, and Lu Cheng'an doesn't use this technique very often.

However, this technique is particularly suitable for dealing with Xu Shao!
A fiery serpent flew out from Lu Cheng'an's hand. The fiery serpent was over ten feet long and as thick as an adult's arm.

The moment it materialized, it instantly wrapped around Xu Shao's hands.

"The first-order Fire Serpent Technique at its perfect state!"

Wu Qingshan and Yang Chongyu showed surprise on their faces. They were both Foundation Establishment cultivators and had the insight to tell that Lu Chengan had cultivated the Fire Serpent Technique to perfection.

“This Qi Refining cultivator from your Lu family is no ordinary person!” Wu Qingan said with a smile as he looked at Lu Wenxing.

It is not easy for a cultivator to cultivate a spell to perfection. A spell at perfection will grant the cultivator extremely powerful combat abilities.

Xu Shao's formidable strength stemmed from his mastery of the first-tier technique, the Chaotic Wind Staff Technique, to perfection.

Xu Shao saw the fiery serpent coiling around his hands and immediately let out a hearty laugh.

He knocked away the Xuanhuo Seal that Lu Chengan had summoned with a single blow, and then swung the stick at the fiery spirit snake.

The iron rod in Xu Shao's hand contained extremely terrifying power. Although Lu Cheng'an's Fire Serpent Technique had also reached the perfect level, it was still far inferior to the power of Xu Shao's iron rod.

After being struck by Xu Shao's iron rod, the Flame Serpent was instantly reduced to specks of light and dissipated.

Lu Cheng'an was slightly surprised, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he started fighting with others.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful!"

Xu Shao let out a loud shout, and his iron rod flashed out in several afterimages as he attacked Lu Cheng'an with lightning speed.

Lu Cheng'an lightly touched the ground with his toes, activating the power of the Cloud-Stepping Boots he was wearing. His body instantly floated away, leaving behind afterimages.

Xu Shao's attacks were wide and powerful, with terrifying force.

Although his speed is not a weakness, it is still somewhat inferior to Lu Cheng'an's.

His attacks always came a little too late, and Lu Cheng'an always managed to dodge them.

"The Naruto Technique at its peak, and the boots Lu Cheng'an wore were also a high-grade first-tier magic artifact, which is why they granted him such extreme power!"

Yang Chongyu commented, looking at Lu Wenxing and saying with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, your Lu family is truly well-prepared this time!"
If I'm not mistaken, Lu Cheng'an was also wearing a high-grade first-tier defensive magic artifact, and the quality of this artifact was quite good!

"These weren't prepared by our Lu family, but by Cheng'an himself. He's a top-tier first-order weapon refiner, and all these magical artifacts on him were crafted by himself!" Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

He did not intend to hide Lu Chengan's identity as a weapon refiner. Although the Dan Ding Sect was good at refining pills, there were no second-level weapon refiners in the sect.

Once Cheng'an's cultivation breaks through to the Foundation Establishment realm, with his talent for weapon crafting, he will surely become a second-tier weapon crafter very quickly. Their Lu family is currently cooperating with the Fire-Slaying Earth Spiders of the Burning Flame Mountains, giving them many opportunities to obtain second-tier minerals.

In the future, the second-tier magic weapons that Cheng'an refines can be sold to Dan Ding Sect, and Dan Ding Sect also has the financial resources to purchase second-tier magic weapons!
"You said Lu Cheng'an is a first-grade high-level weapon refiner, and that all these magical artifacts on his body were refined by himself!" Yang Chongyu exclaimed in surprise.

His gaze kept shifting between Lu Cheng'an and Lu Wenxing. He suspected that Lu Wenxing was lying, but it seemed unnecessary to do so.

A look of surprise also appeared in Wu Qing'an's eyes. He had not expected that Lu Cheng'an would have the identity of a first-grade high-level weapon refiner.

"Lu Cheng'an, if you're a man, then fight me properly!"

Suddenly, Xu Shao spoke angrily, his face filled with rage. He swung the iron rod in his hand, leaving afterimages, but it never landed on Lu Cheng'an, which made Xu Shao extremely annoyed.

"My attack is inferior to Fellow Daoist Xu's, so I chose a shortcut. Please don't blame me!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled and spoke. His current goal was not necessarily to determine a winner with Xu Shao, so he naturally did not need to use his full strength.

He only needs to hold out against Xu Shao for a moment to secure a spot in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

"Xu Shao, stop now. Even if you had a moment's speed, you couldn't defeat Lu Cheng'an!"

Wu Qing'an spoke loudly. Although it was not yet half a quarter of an hour, he had already seen the final result, so he simply stopped the competition.

Although Xu Shao was unwilling, he still obeyed his master's words and immediately stopped attacking Lu Cheng'an.

"Lu Cheng'an, where did you buy those boots? Could you introduce me to the artisan who made them? I want to buy a pair too!"

After putting away the iron rod, Xu Shao strode over to Lu Cheng'an's side, his gaze fixed on the Cloud-Stepping Boots Lu Cheng'an was wearing.

He felt the increase in speed that the Cloud-Stepping Boots gave Lu Cheng'an. If he were also wearing such magical artifacts, he wouldn't always be one step behind Lu Cheng'an.

What he didn't know was that Lu Cheng'an hadn't unleashed his full speed. If Lu Cheng'an were to use the perfected Fire Shadow Technique, even if he wore the Cloud-Stepping Boots, he still wouldn't be able to catch up with Lu Cheng'an.

"Haha, Lu Cheng'an's boots were made by himself. If you want the exact same boots, you'll have to offer Lu Cheng'an conditions that satisfy him!" Yang Chong laughed loudly, revealing Lu Cheng'an's identity as a first-tier high-grade weapon refiner to Xu Shao.

The three of them, Lu Wenxing and Xu Shao, hadn't been talking loudly before. Xu Shao was busy fighting with Lu Cheng'an and wasn't paying attention to what they were saying. That's why Xu Shao asked Lu Cheng'an which weapon refiner he had purchased the Cloud-Stepping Boots from.

"Lu Cheng'an, you're a top-tier first-order weapon refiner, but I feel like you're even more freakish than that brat Shi Ningyu!"

Xu Shao looked at Lu Cheng'an with a shocked expression. He found it hard to imagine how Lu Cheng'an could become a first-grade high-level weapon refiner while simultaneously cultivating.

"Thank you for your praise, Fellow Daoist Xu. The magical artifact I am wearing is called the Cloud-Stepping Boots. If you would like them, just tell me your size. Come to the Lu family to find me in eight days, and I will present them to you then!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

"How can that be? I'll give you whatever spirit stones you need to refine the Cloud-Stepping Boots right now," Xu Shao said immediately.

"Alright, we can talk about your two matters later. Now, let's talk about entering the Azure Spirit Secret Realm."

After Wu Qing'an stopped his disciple from continuing to pester Lu Cheng'an, he said with a smile, "Lu Cheng'an has obtained the qualification to enter the Azure Spirit Secret Realm. The Azure Spirit Secret Realm will open in three months. You need to arrive at the Pill Cauldron Sect five days in advance."

"You will then travel with the cultivators of our Dan Ding Sect to the Qingling Secret Realm... If you haven't cultivated any concealment techniques, you can purchase them from the Dan Ding Sect later. It would be best if you could cultivate your concealment technique to the minor completion stage before entering the Qingling Secret Realm."

Wu Qing'an did not linger at the Guest House. After explaining the matter of entering the Azure Spirit Secret Realm to Lu Cheng'an, he left the Guest House.

Xu Shao was very interested in Lu Cheng'an. Instead of leaving the guesthouse with Wu Qing'an, he stayed there to discuss the crafting of the Cloud-Stepping Boots with Lu Cheng'an.

After Lu Wenxing and Yang Chongyu glanced at Lu Chengan and Xu Shao with smiles, the two of them got down to business.

“Our Lu family does not have any techniques for concealing one’s aura, and Cheng’an has never practiced such techniques before. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Yang to recommend a few, and I will purchase them from your sect!” Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

In the cultivation world, techniques that conceal one's aura are not very common. Although the Lu family was a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, its heritage was not very long, and the clan had not included such techniques.

"There are two types of concealment techniques collected by the sect. One is called Concealment Technique, which is a first-order technique. The other is simply named Concealment Technique, and our Dan Ding Sect has also collected a second-order cultivation method for this technique."

Yang Chongyu looked at Lu Wenxing and asked, "I wonder which path Fellow Daoist Lu wishes to choose?"

Lu Wenxing frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Cheng'an, and then smiled and said, "Then let's choose the Concealing Breath Technique! I wonder how many spirit stones it will cost?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're too kind. Besides, the Second Elder didn't say he wanted to charge you spirit stones!"

Yang Chongyu smiled, then a serious expression appeared on his face: "This Concealing Breath Technique is specifically for Lu Cheng'an to cultivate and must not be passed on to outsiders, not even to the cultivators of your Lu family. I hope Fellow Daoist Lu can understand!"
