Chapter 94 Second-Tier Talisman (Please Subscribe!)
If they successfully obtain the Spirit Essence Replenishing Herb in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, it will take the second-level alchemist of the Pill Cauldron Sect a considerable amount of time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

During this period, he was confident that he could reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.

By then, he should have just obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill and met the conditions for taking it.

Therefore, he cannot afford to be distracted by other things now, lest he delay his time to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I know that. When I left the sect this time, my master specifically instructed me to make sure you mastered the Concealing Breath Technique to the minor completion level as soon as possible!"

Xu Shao smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't need to take this to heart. I will take Junior Brother Lin back later."

I usually enjoy spirit wine, and I recently acquired two jars of Crimson Wine. I'll share one with you now.

Lu Cheng'an had already made an agreement with Xu Shao at the Dan Ding Sect that he would give Xu Shao these Cloud-Stepping Boots for free.

Although Xu Shao agreed at the time, he still felt bad about it, so he gave away this jar of red wine.

The Crimson Wine is of the highest grade of the first tier. Although its value is not as high as the Cloud-Stepping Boots, which are also of the highest grade of the first tier, it is still a token of Xu Shao's goodwill.

"I don't usually drink much spirit wine, so this is a good opportunity to try it!" Lu Cheng'an didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Shao and accepted the red wine directly.

His gaze then fell on Lin Tao: "I still have two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots that I refined before. These two pairs of boots are not as good as the ones I'm wearing and the ones I refined for Xu Shao. Would you like to take a look?"

These two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots were Lu Cheng'an's practice pieces. Their quality was indeed not as good as the ones worn by Lu Cheng'an and Xu Shao, but they were definitely not bad either.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm so sorry. It's all because Senior Brother Xu praised your Cloud-Stepping Boots too much that I couldn't help but come with him."

Lin Tao wasn't angry. He glanced at Lu Cheng'an apologetically and said with a smile, "I believe in your craftsmanship. Even if the two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots you mentioned are of slightly lower quality, they certainly won't be too bad. Let me see them!"

"These are the two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots I crafted before!"

Upon hearing Lin Tao's words, Lu Cheng'an immediately took out the two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots from his storage bag.

One of these two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots had some problems during the forging process by Lu Cheng'an, so its quality was very average.

The other pair, though also a practice piece, was of quite high quality. Even if it couldn't compare to the ones worn by Lu Cheng'an and Xu Shao, it was still of very good quality.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too modest. The quality of these Cloud-Stepping Boots is excellent, and I am very satisfied!"

After inspecting the two pairs of Cloud-Stepping Boots, Lin Tao immediately took a liking to the flawless pair.

"How much are these Cloud-Stepping Boots? Name your price, and I'll buy them!" Lin Tao said with a smile.

"The materials used to make these Cloud-Stepping Boots aren't high-grade, so I'll give them to you!" Lu Cheng'an said casually.

Lin Tao clearly had a good relationship with Xu Shao. He had already given Xu Shao a pair of Cloud-Stepping Boots, so he didn't mind giving Lin Tao a pair as well.

Moreover, exchanging a pair of top-grade first-tier Cloud-Stepping Boots for the favor of Xu Shao and Lin Tao was by no means a losing proposition for him.

Next, he will enter the Azure Spirit Secret Realm with these two. At that time, he will only be considered an outsider. Building a good relationship with Xu Shao and Lin Tao will definitely not be a bad thing for him.

“Junior Brother Lin, don’t you have a piece of top-grade first-tier Dark Breath Iron? I think it would be perfect for you to use this piece of Dark Breath Iron to exchange for the Cloud-Stepping Boots,” Xu Shao said with a smile.

Dark Breath Iron is a first-grade high-quality ore. This type of ore is very rare and is mostly used to refine magical artifacts for surprise attacks.

Lu Cheng'an had obtained a flying needle magic weapon of this type from the bandit cultivators in the beginning, but the quality of that magic weapon was too low and it had long been discarded by Lu Cheng'an.

The Xu family's weapon-refining tradition also includes methods for refining this type of magical artifact, and Lu Cheng'an had also considered refining this type of magical artifact.

Unfortunately, the materials for crafting this type of magical artifact are hard to find, and Lu Cheng'an's desire for it wasn't that strong, so he never actually crafted one.

When Lin Tao heard Xu Shao mention the piece of Dark Qi Profound Iron in his hand, he didn't feel any heartache at all. He took it out of his storage bag and handed it to Lu Cheng'an.

"I'm very interested in Dark Breath Iron. I'm planning to forge a stealthy, ambush-type flying sword, so I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

"That's exactly what should have been done!"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, if you are missing any materials, you can tell us, my fellow disciple and I. Our channels are definitely wider than yours, and we will do our best to help you find them."

"If I need anything then, I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

Xu Shao and Lin Tao did not stay at the Lu family for long. After agreeing to meet Lu Cheng'an at the Dan Ding Sect next time, they left the Lu family satisfied.

After seeing Xu Shao and the other man off from Chiyan Mountain, Lu Cheng'an told his uncle and then hurriedly returned to Qing'e Island.

There are two second-tier spiritual veins on Green Crocodile Island, and the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, making it even more suitable for Lu Cheng'an's cultivation.

When Lu Cheng'an left Chiyan Mountain, only Lu Wenhua, a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was left to guard the mountain.

Since Lu Wenxing had already set off for Tianyan City to help Lu Chengan purchase second-tier talismans, Lu Wenmei took Lu Wenxing's place to oversee Yunling Valley.

Before heading to Tianyan City, Lu Wenxing successfully set up the Fire Bamboo Earth Array on Chiyan Mountain. Lu Wenhua, relying on the power of this second-tier low-grade defensive spirit array, was prepared to wait for reinforcements from other cultivators of the Lu family. After returning to Qing'e Island, Lu Cheng'an told Zhu Yan and then devoted himself to cultivation.

Time passed slowly, and more than two months went by in the blink of an eye.

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 9 (59/100)]

Concealing Breath Technique: Mastery (89/100)

"My cultivation progress is even faster than I expected, probably because the spiritual energy on Green Crocodile Island is quite abundant."

At this rate of cultivation, I might be able to raise my cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before the alchemists of the Pill Refining Sect can even refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

"The Concealing Breath Technique is still 11 points away from perfection, but a fully mastered Concealing Breath Technique should be enough."

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Lu Cheng'an decided that he would no longer practice the Concealing Breath Technique or improve his cultivation for the remaining five days, but would focus on forging the Shadow Void Sword.

The Shadow Sword is a first-tier high-grade magic sword. This type of magic sword is only the length of an adult's palm, and its blade is as thin as a cicada's wing. It is mainly used for sneak attacks.

The Shadow Sword is very difficult to forge. This is the first time Lu Cheng'an has forged this type of magic weapon. The difficulty of imprinting the runes is also not low.

Lu Cheng'an only had one set of materials to forge the Shadow Sword. The reason he dared to forge it at this time was because he had enough confidence in his weapon-forging skills.

After considering it over, Lu Cheng'an made a final decision and then quickly headed towards the shore of Qing'e Island.

He had already instructed Jin Yuan to purify the materials for forging the Shadow Sword, and now he could directly begin forging the Shadow Sword's prototype.

Time flies, and four days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"The forging of the Shadow Sword went quite smoothly this time!"

Looking at the Shadow Sword floating in his palm, Lu Cheng'an smiled with pleasure.

The Shadow Sword is of the highest grade, first rank. Once this magical artifact is activated, it will conceal its form.

Because the main material used to forge this magical artifact is Dark Breath Iron, it can conceal the aura of the magic sword while it is concealed.

Under such circumstances, even a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining would find it difficult to detect the existence of the Shadow Void Sword.

"The time mentioned by the Dan Ding Sect is approaching. We'll find another opportunity to refine the Shadow Void Sword. Now, let's return to our clan."

Lu Cheng'an sighed softly, put the Shadow Sword into his storage bag, and then told Zhu Yan to look after Jin Yuan before returning directly to Chiyan Mountain.

Lu Wenxing had already returned from Tianyan City and had successfully purchased all the necessary talismans.

Second-tier talismans aren't particularly rare treasures; as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can easily buy them in Tianyan City.

When Lu Wenxing returned, Lu Chengan was still cultivating diligently on Qing'e Island, so Lu Wenxing did not immediately call Lu Chengan back to the family.

After all, these talismans were what Lu Cheng'an needed to enter the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.

After leaving Qinge Island, Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Lu Wenxing, who was still guarding Yunling Valley.

Afterwards, Lu Wenxing rushed back to Chiyan Mountain from Yunling Valley, and this time Lu Wenhua replaced Lu Wenxing in guarding Yunling Valley.

After refining the medicinal power of the Flame Pattern Fruit, Lu Wenhua did not successfully break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

After that, he followed Lu Cheng'an's instructions and exchanged a Di Yuan Pill from the family treasury.

He has now refined the medicinal power of the Earth Origin Pill and successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, becoming the third Qi Refining level cultivator in the Lu family.

After Lu Wenxing broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, the Lu family's situation improved significantly.

In recent years, the Lu family has gained two more late-stage Qi Refining cultivators: Lu Wenxian and Lu Chengyun.

Lu Chengyun and Lu Chengan are both cultivators of the Cheng generation in the Lu family. Although his cultivation level is much lower than Lu Chengan's, he is older than Lu Chengan. He is now over thirty years old, and even his children are almost old enough to awaken their spiritual power.

Since awakening his attribute panel, Lu Cheng'an has devoted most of his time to cultivation and hasn't had much contact with the newly promoted late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in his family.

Not long after, Lu Chengan returned to Chiyan Mountain.

At almost the same time, Lu Wenxing also returned from Yunling Valley.

"Cheng'an, I have purchased a total of six second-tier talismans for you from Tianyan City. These six second-tier talismans are divided into three types: Chenguang Talisman, Wujia Talisman, and Feixing Talisman."

"The Radiant Light Talisman is an offensive talisman, and I purchased three of them; the Armored Five Talisman is a defensive talisman, and I purchased two; the Flying Star Talisman is a speed-boosting talisman, and I only purchased one."
