Chapter 127 Helping with Weapon Refining, Clan Arrangements
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. If I can survive safely, I will definitely repay Fellow Daoist Lu's kindness!" Zhu Yan said gratefully.
After seeing the pills Lu Cheng'an gave her, she felt the kindness of Lu Cheng'an.
There are many pills, including three types: healing, restoring mana and improving cultivation.
If she still can't survive the next disaster with the help of these pills, it can only prove that she is too incompetent.
"I believe in Fellow Daoist Zhu, we will definitely meet again!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.
"Then I look forward to meeting Fellow Daoist Lu again!"
Zhu Yan smiled and put away the pills, and then said in a deep voice: "It has been delayed for a long time. I will lead the cultivators of the clan to return to the depths of the Fenyan Mountains.
After we leave, you can take away the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation of Qingying Island!"
Zhu Yan has made preparations. After saying goodbye to Lu Cheng'an for the last time, she led the cultivators of the Fire-Splitting Earth Spider Clan to leave Qingying Island and rush to the depths of the Fenyan Mountains.
Not only the Fire-Splitting Spider Clan, but also the monsters and spirits living in the Burning Flame Mountains are now gathering in the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains.
"It's a pity for the second-level spiritual veins of Green Crocodile Island!"
After feeling the rich spiritual energy surging on Green Crocodile Island, Lu Cheng'an couldn't help but sigh.
The first-level spiritual veins of Chiyan Mountain have now been cultivated into second-level spiritual veins by the Lu family, but the concentration of spiritual energy in Chiyan Mountain cannot be compared with that of Green Crocodile Island.
Now Zhu Yan led the cultivators of the Fire-Splitting Spider Clan to leave. Although Lu Cheng'an felt that it was a pity to give up the second-level spiritual veins of Green Crocodile Island, he did not dare to practice alone on Green Crocodile Island.
Although the monsters and spirits living in the Burning Flame Mountains are gathering in the depths of the mountains, Lu Cheng'an dare not guarantee that these monsters and spirits will not come out from the depths of the mountains in the future.
He is only at the initial stage of foundation building now. If he encounters monsters and spirits in the late second stage and perfect realm, the situation will become very dangerous.
Besides, the clan also needs him to guard it now. For the safety of the clan, it is not suitable for him to continue to practice on Qingying Island.
After a slight sigh, Lu Chengan did not delay any more time.
He quickly dismantled the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation, then left Qingying Island and returned to the clan.
"Chengan, do you want to stay in Chiyan Mountain or go to Qingling Mountain Market to take charge?" Lu Wenxing asked with a smile.
The Lu family now has three cultivators in the foundation-building realm, but Lu Wenxing still feels that the family is in short supply of cultivators in the foundation-building realm.
After the Black Pine Mountain Market was completely moved to Qingling Mountain, Lu Wenxing sent a message to call Lu Chengping back from Tianhong Mountain.
The second-level spiritual vein of Tianhong Mountain can only be taken care of by Lu Wenmei, who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. At the same time, Lu Wenxing also asked the nearby Donglin Yang family and Qiao Liusheng and other foundation-building cultivators to help take care of it.
Qingling Mountain is farther away from Fenyan Mountain Range. Lu Wenxing asked Lu Chengping to stay in Qingling Mountain mainly to prevent the human cultivators who entered Qingling Mountain Market from causing trouble.
However, this possibility is still relatively low. Lu Wenxing prefers to let Lu Chengping return to Chiyan Mountain to guard.
Because Lu Chengping is a second-level lower-grade spirit formation master, only he can fully exert the power of Chiyan Mountain's second-level upper-grade spirit formation, the Purple Smoke Black Snake Formation.
Lu Wenxing also attaches great importance to Lu Chengan's opinion. He did not make a decision directly, but asked Lu Chengan's thoughts first.
"I promised Xu Shao to help him refine the second-level lower-grade black iron stick, so I will practice in Chiyan Mountain for a while. After helping Xu Shao refine the black iron stick, I will go to Qingling Mountain to guard and exchange Brother Chengping back." Lu Chengan said with a smile.
His idea is similar to Lu Wenxing's. He also thinks that Lu Chengping can play the greatest role in Chiyan Mountain.
"That's great!" Lu Wenxing laughed loudly. After he and Lu Cheng'an agreed on the next arrangements, he asked Lu Cheng'an to return to the cave to practice.
Lu Cheng'an is one of the three foundation-building cultivators of the Lu family. His cave is arranged on the node of the second-level spiritual vein, which is one of the places with the most concentrated spiritual energy in Chiyan Mountain.
Coupled with the effect of the spirit gathering array, the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave's practice room is higher than that of Qingying Island.
After entering the cave, Lu Cheng'an began to practice again. At the same time, while practicing, he concentrated on studying the method of refining the second-level low-grade black iron stick.
Time passed slowly, and more than a month passed in a flash.
"Although I haven't been able to use the second-level lower-grade Qi refining magic weapon for a while, my refining skills have improved significantly through the study of classics. I should be able to refine the second-level lower-grade black iron stick now!"
Lu Cheng'an quickly checked his attribute panel with his spiritual power. He saw that the panel showed that his refining skills had reached 35/100 of the initial second-level, and the progress had been one-third.
After a while, Lu Cheng'an sent a message to Xu Shao, asking Xu Shao to bring the materials for refining the black iron stick to Chiyan Mountain. He was going to refine the second-level lower-grade black iron stick for Xu Shao.
Since Lu Cheng'an left Danding Sect last time, Xu Shao has been waiting for Lu Cheng'an's news.
After receiving Lu Cheng'an's message, he immediately gave Lu Cheng'an a reply, and then hurried to Chiyan Mountain.
Soon after, Xu Shao arrived at Chiyan Mountain and was taken directly into his cave by Lu Cheng'an.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you sure you can refine a lower-grade second-level black iron stick?" Xu Shao looked at Lu Cheng'an excitedly.
The black iron stick is his most powerful magic weapon. If the grade of this magic weapon is successfully upgraded to the second-grade lower grade, his combat effectiveness will be improved immediately.
"I am certain, but there are still certain risks in refining magic weapons. I have agreed with you in advance that I am not 100% sure that I can refine a second-grade lower-grade black iron stick." Lu Chengan said with a smile.
"Don't worry about this. Even if you fail to refine it, I won't blame you. Just let it go and refine it."
Xu Shao laughed and said, "These are the materials for refining the black iron stick. Check if there are any problems. This is the cost of refining the black iron stick I prepared for you. One piece of red source mother iron, do you think it is enough?"
The grade of the red source mother iron that Xu Shao took out was the second-grade lower grade. This piece of red source mother iron was not light and could be used to refine two or three second-grade lower-grade magic weapons.
The function of red source mother iron is similar to that of refined iron. It is the main material needed to refine many magic weapons, but it is better than refined iron.
"What's the point of talking about refining fees between you and me? Hurry up and put away the red source mother iron, otherwise take these things away now and find someone else to help you refine the black iron stick!" Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.
A large part of the reason why he and Xu Shao are on good terms is because of Danding Sect, but it is precisely because of this reason that he will not ask Xu Shao for the cost of refining the black iron stick.
"Then I will put away the red source mother iron now, and wait until you refine the black iron stick!"
After a slight hesitation, Xu Shao obediently put away the red source mother iron and did not entangle with Lu Chengan.
Lu Chengan showed a faint smile. After putting away the materials for refining the black iron stick that Xu Shao brought out, he arranged Xu Shao in the reception room in his cave.
After that, he did not delay any more time and went directly into the refining room to help Xu Shao refine the second-grade inferior black iron stick.
Lu Chengan has studied the refining method of the second-grade inferior black iron stick for more than a month, and he has made sufficient preparations.
Although he had never refined this type of magic weapon before, he still felt at ease when refining it now.
Time passed in a flash, and eight days passed quickly.
In the refining room of Lu Chengan's cave, after Lu Chengan used his spiritual power to repair the last damaged talisman array, he immediately put the refined black iron stick into the refining furnace and continued to refine it with the red glaze fire.
Lu Chengan had repeated this step eight times. This was the ninth and last time.
An hour later, Lu Chengan took out the black iron stick from the refining furnace, and then put the hot black iron stick directly into the cold spring water next to the refining furnace.
Naturally, there was no cold spring in the Lu family. This cold spring water was specially purchased by Xu Shao to quench the second-level inferior black iron stick.
After the hot black iron stick was put into the cold spring water, it immediately made a hissing sound.
The special power contained in the cold spring water constantly impacted the talisman array imprinted in the black iron stick. Although it impacted the talisman array in this process, it also reinforced and strengthened the power of the talisman array.
This time, the talisman array imprinted by Lu Chengan in the black iron stick withstood this impact and showed no signs of collapse.
Not long after, the power of the cold spring water prepared by Xu Shao was completely exhausted, and the second-level inferior black iron stick was also completely refined successfully.
"Success!"
Lu Chengan held the black iron stick in his palm, and after silently feeling the heavy power of the black iron stick, he also had a certain guess about Xu Shao's combat power.
The black iron stick weighed a thousand pounds. Even if Xu Shao did not rely on his own mana, he could defeat many cultivators in the foundation-building realm by relying only on himself and the power of the black iron stick.
Lu Chengan did not waste time. After successfully refining the black iron stick, he went directly to the reception room to tell Xu Shao the good news.
"Daoyou Lu, I knew you would succeed!"
After Xu Shao took the black iron stick from Lu Cheng'an, a big smile appeared on his face.
He quickly checked the black iron stick and was very satisfied with the black iron stick refined by Lu Cheng'an.
Then he put away the black iron stick, and then took out the second-grade inferior red source mother iron again and handed it to Lu Cheng'an.
Xu Shao was still quite tough, and Lu Cheng'an finally failed to beat Xu Shao and had to accept the red source mother iron.
"Daoyou Lu, there are a lot of things to do in the sect now. I have been here for a long time, so I will return to the sect first!"
Xu Shao smiled and looked at Lu Cheng'an, saying: "If I get some news from the Burning Flame Mountains, I will notify you immediately."
Lu Cheng'an did not keep Xu Shao to stay in Chiyan Mountain. After expressing his gratitude to Xu Shao, he sent Xu Shao out of Chiyan Mountain.
After that, Lu Cheng'an returned to the cave and began to retreat and adjust his breath to recover the lost mana and spiritual power.
A day later, Lu Chengan said something to Lu Wenxing, and then set off from Chiyan Mountain and rushed to Qingling Mountain.
Qingling Mountain and Chiyan Mountain are 500 miles apart, which is not close, but after Lu Chengan practiced the Cloud Shadow Sword Art to perfection, his flying speed exceeded many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The difficulty of practicing the second-level spells is much higher than that of the first-level spells. Lu Chengan also relied on the power of the panel to practice the second-level Cloud Shadow Sword Art and other spells to perfection.
Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to practice these second-level spells to perfection.
Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Chengan appeared outside Qingling Mountain. After putting away the Fire Sword, he slowly landed at the foot of Qingling Mountain.
"Qingling Mountain is even more prosperous now than when the Chen family was still around!"
Lu Chengan couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he looked at the monks traveling to and from Qingling Mountain.
Many of these monks were casual cultivators. After the Lu family released the news about renting caves in Qingling Mountain, these casual cultivators were attracted.
Nowadays, there are many monks from the foundation-building immortal cultivation forces on Qingling Mountain. They are attracted by the monsters in the Burning Flame Mountain Range that are about to break through to the third level.
The monsters in the Burning Flame Mountain Range have broken through to the third level, coupled with the volcanic eruptions in the mountains. Although the Burning Flame Mountain Range has become extremely dangerous, it also breeds a lot of opportunities.
These monks just want to venture into the Burning Flame Mountains to find opportunities and get a chance to reach the sky.
"Cheng'an, you arrived so quickly!"
Lu Chengan conveyed the news to Lu Chengping before he came to Qingling Mountain, and he did not conceal his aura after arriving at Qingling Mountain, so he was quickly noticed by Lu Chengping who was guarding Qingling Mountain.
Lu Chengping knew the time when Lu Chengan set off from Chiyan Mountain. It was for this reason that he was shocked that Lu Chengan had arrived at Qingling Mountain now.
"I tested my current speed on the road!"
Lu Chengan smiled softly and did not say much about his speed. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Brother Chengping, how is the situation in Qingling Mountain now?"
"As the time for the two monster beasts to break through to the third level is getting closer, more and more monks are gathering at Qingling Mountain!"
After Lu Chengping mentioned the situation in Qingling Mountain, a solemn look appeared on his face.
"This is not a good place to talk. Let's go to my cave and talk in detail."
Lu Chengping's cave in Qingling Mountain is the most dense place in the entire Qingling Mountain. It is also the center for controlling the Qingmu Qianhua Formation and Baimu Qingyuan Formation.
Although Lu Chengping only has the cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building, with the help of the power of the two second-level spiritual formations, Aoki Qianhua Formation and Baimu Qingyuan Formation, he is confident that he can fight against the monks in the later stage of foundation building.
After a while, Lu Chengan and Lu Chengping entered the cave.
"There are now 1,300 Qing Ling Mountain monks and thirteen foundation-building monks. Five of these thirteen foundation-building monks are in the middle stage of foundation building and eight are in the early stage of foundation building... "
