Chapter 123 Zhu Yan's Request (Please Subscribe!)
The Jade Heart of the Green Spring has fallen into the hands of the Lu family, but the Lu family does not have a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator who practices water-attributed exercises.
The Lu family needs to exchange it for a foundation-building spiritual object of suitable attributes before it can be given to the cultivators in the clan for use.
The foundation-building pill was agreed to by the Danding Sect for the Lu family to trade, but when Lu Chengan attended the last foundation-building celebration held by the Danding Sect, they had not yet refined the foundation-building pill.
During this period, Lu Chengan has been practicing hard on Qingying Island. He does not know whether the Danding Sect has already refined the foundation-building pill that it agreed to trade with the Lu family.
This foundation-building pill is the purchase qualification that Lu Chengan obtained from the Danding Sect by relying on his own merits. In addition, Lu Chengan is now a cultivator at the foundation-building stage, so he is qualified to arrange who will give this foundation-building pill to.
Lu Wenhua is Lu Chengan's uncle, and has a closer relationship with Lu Chengan. Lu Chengan has never thought of giving this foundation-building pill to other ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators in the clan.
Of course, this was just Lu Chengan's own idea, and he had not discussed it with other cultivators in the clan.
After Lu Chengan left the fire spring, he did not leave Qingying Island directly, but went to find Zhu Yan. He wanted to tell Zhu Yan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I have something to do and I will return to the clan soon." Lu Chengan smiled and looked at Zhu Yan.
"Some time ago, I sent cultivators from the clan to the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to inquire about the news. Their cultivation was too low, and the news they got was very limited.
However, from the information they got, I roughly guessed that the time for the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard to break through to the third level will be seven months later.
Now the monsters and spirits living in the Burning Flame Mountains have been recruited by the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, and are not allowed to leave the range of the Burning Flame Mountains during their cultivation breakthrough.
If the human Jindan cultivators come to attack, we, the monsters and spirits living in the Burning Flame Mountains, will have to attack the human cultivators together!"
Zhu Yan's eyes were filled with deep worry, which had never happened before.
Although the two second-level perfect cultivators, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, have not yet successfully broken through to the third level, they have already opened the shackles of their spiritual intelligence.
That is why they issued such an order.
They want to gather the power of all the monsters and spirits in the Burning Flame Mountains to block the attack of the Tianyan Sect's Jindan cultivators. If they can successfully survive this disaster.
The monsters living in the Burning Flame Mountains will have the strength to compete with the Tianyan Sect, and the monsters will no longer have to suffer from the Tianyan Sect's conspiracy when they break through the third level.
Zhu Yan is a fire-breaking earth spider, not a monster, but a spirit.
Whether the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard can survive successfully does not actually have much impact on the spirits.
Now that these two monsters have recruited their spirits to join the war, it has a very bad impact on them.
The strength of the human cultivators is very strong. If they fight with human cultivators, the Fire-breaking Earth Spiders will be in danger of extinction if they are not careful.
But Zhu Yan did not dare to lead the Fire-Splitting Earth Spiders to openly disobey the orders of the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard. If the two of them really survived the siege of the human cultivators, then the spirit cultivators who did not contribute might have no choice but to die.
No matter which choice Zhu Yan made, it might bring danger to the Fire-Splitting Earth Spiders.
It was for this reason that Zhu Yan was so worried these days.
"Daoyou Lu, what exactly are your plans for the human race? Are you sure you can kill the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard?" Zhu Yan asked in a deep voice.
If the human cultivators were sure they could kill the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, then she would know what decision she should make.
When Lu Cheng'an thought of the news Xu Shao told him, he immediately understood why the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard had recruited all the monsters and spirit cultivators in the Fenyan Mountains to join the war.
Obviously, they also knew that the two Jindan cultivators of the Tianyan Sect were recruited by the Huanggu Sect to attack the Green Lion Demon King in the Hong'e Mountains.
The Ancient Wilderness Sect is the only Nascent Soul Sect within tens of thousands of miles. This sect has a long history, and now there are three Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect.
Hong'e Mountain Range is a giant mountain range near the Ancient Wilderness Sect. There are several fourth-level spiritual veins in this mountain range. These fourth-level spiritual veins make the spiritual energy in the Hong'e Mountain Range very rich, and it is an extremely superior place for cultivation.
However, human cultivators rarely set foot in the Hong'e Mountain Range, because the Hong'e Mountain Range has always been occupied by monsters.
There are five monster kings in the Hong'e Mountain Range now, and the leader is the Green Lion Monster King.
Monster kings are fourth-level monsters, and they are comparable to human Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Green Lion Monster King's cultivation is in the late fourth level, which is equivalent to the Great Grand Elder of the Ancient Wilderness Sect, Qiong Miao Zhenjun.
Qiong Miao Zhenjun's cultivation broke through the late Nascent Soul earlier than the Green Lion Monster King, and her strength is also more powerful than the Green Lion Monster King.
Because of this, the Green Lion Demon King has been hiding in the Hong'e Mountains for many years and has not invaded the territory of human cultivators.
However, in the past hundred years, two fourth-level demon kings have been added to the Hong'e Mountains. In addition, the Green Lion Demon King's strength has improved, so he has the idea of invading the territory of human cultivators again.
The major immortal cultivation forces in the Huanggu Sect respect the Huanggu Sect, while the monsters living in the territory respect the Green Lion Demon King in the Hong'e Mountains.
Lu Cheng'an didn't know much about the monsters in the Huanggu Sect and the Hong'e Mountains, but after hearing what Zhu Yan said, he intuitively felt that the two second-level perfect monsters, the Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, must have received guidance from the monsters in the Hong'e Mountains.
A third-level monster is comparable to a human Jindan cultivator. If there are two more third-level monsters in the Burning Flame Mountains, it will definitely not be a good thing for human cultivators.
Lu Chengan's thoughts were floating. After thinking quickly, he immediately suppressed these thoughts and began to answer Zhu Yan's questions.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu really thinks too highly of our Lu family. Our Lu family is just a newly promoted foundation-building force and can't get these news at all!"
Lu Chengan showed a bitter smile on his face and did not tell Zhu Yan the news he had.
As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
Even though the Lu family and Zhu Yan are in a cooperative state now, he dare not tell Zhu Yan the true situation of the human cultivators.
He dare not gamble!
If Zhu Yan tells the two monsters, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, the news he said will cause great casualties to the human cultivators.
When the matter is settled afterwards, their Lu family will not be able to escape the danger of extinction!
Therefore, after a quick thought, Lu Chengan finally decided to hide the news from Zhu Yan.
"Then when you go back this time, please ask the cultivators in the clan to help inquire so that I can make a choice!" Zhu Yan sighed.
She did not doubt Lu Chengan, because she had a certain understanding of the strength of the Lu family.
When she first met Lu Wenxing, another foundation-building cultivator of the Lu family, Lu Wenxing's cultivation had indeed just broken through the foundation-building realm not long ago.
It was not until these years that the development of the Lu family became better and better as Lu Chengan's cultivation broke through to the foundation-building realm.
Although Zhu Yan did not know the situation of the human cultivators, she also knew that a newly promoted foundation-building force like the Lu family should not be able to inquire too much about the news of the Jindan sect.
"When you come back from the clan, I would like to ask you to go with me to the depths of the Fenyan Mountains to help me seize the Earth Core Fire Jade." Zhu Yan said in a deep voice.
Lu Chengan's eyebrows slightly frowned. Zhu Yan had told him about the Earth Core Fire Jade before.
This is a spiritual creature that can assist a first-level fire-repelling spider to break through to the second level, but this kind of spiritual creature can only be bred at the bottom of the magma river deep in the Burning Flame Mountains, and it is guarded by a powerful giant fire catfish.
If at other times he would be willing to follow Zhu Yan into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, but now he is a little afraid.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I am from the human race. If I follow you into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains and am discovered by a second-level monster in the depths of the mountains, do you think I still have a chance to come out alive from the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains?" Lu Chengan said with a bitter smile.
The Burning Flame Mountains as a whole belong to the territory of monsters. The reason why the spirit race can survive in the Burning Flame Mountains is that there is no hatred between the spirit race and the monsters.
However, the relationship between the human race and the monsters is very bad. After all, the third-level monsters born in the Burning Flame Mountains in the past years have all died at the hands of the Jindan cultivators of the Tianyan Sect, a human race sect.
Now that the two second-order perfect monsters, the Earth Flame Python and the Fire Bone Lizard, are about to break through to the third order, if his identity as a human cultivator is exposed in the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains, he will have no chance of survival.
"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist Lu, I was not thoughtful enough!" Zhu Yan's heart moved, and she immediately apologized to Lu Chengan.
She really didn't think of this. Human cultivators are extremely sensitive in the Burning Flame Mountains now.
Before, when Hei Xuan came to attack Qing Crocodile Island, he was also blocked by the Black Turtle Fire Gang Formation. He did not see the situation on Qing Crocodile Island clearly.
Otherwise, if Lu Chengan's human identity was known by Hei Xuan at that time, it would very likely bring a catastrophe to their Fire-Breaking Earth Spider Clan.
Zhu Yan thought of this and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Fortunately, Qing Crocodile Island is located on the outskirts of the Burning Flame Mountains. There are very few second-order spirits and monsters here. As long as Lu Chengan is careful here, his identity will not be exposed.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhu. When this matter is over, I will definitely accompany you into the depths of the Burning Flame Mountains to seize the Earth Core Fire Jade." Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.
"Then I will wait for Fellow Daoist Lu!" Zhu Yan smiled back, but she was still in a heavy mood.
Lu Cheng'an seemed not to feel Zhu Yan's heavy mood. After talking to Zhu Yan, he left Qingying Island.
Not long after, Lu Cheng'an appeared in front of the cave door of Huohuai Mountain. At this time, he took out the second-level inferior Fire Evil Sword that had been successfully sacrificed and prepared to perform the Cloud Shadow Sword Art and fly back to the family.
The second-level inferior Fire Evil Sword is enough to support the foundation-building cultivator to fly with the sword, but Lu Cheng'an's practice of the second-level sword-flying technique of Cloud Shadow Sword Art is not deep enough.
Now he is just getting started!
