Chapter 315: Misfortune-Breaking Pill, Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve obtained a Third-Tier Misfortune-Breaking Pill!]

[Reward has been deposited in the system space. Host can check at any time.]

Immediately, an image of a pill appeared from the big wheel, accompanied by a system prompt sound.

“Misfortune-Breaking Pill?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and looked towards the system space.

Right away, information about the Misfortune-Breaking Pill appeared.

[Pill: Misfortune-Breaking Pill]

[Quality: Third-Tier]

[Description: Misfortune-Breaking Pill can break curses, seals, hexes, restrictions, Divine Abilities, and other effects.]

Lu Changsheng looked at the effects of the Misfortune-Breaking Pill before him, his brow slightly furrowed.

Though this effect was decent and could solve some unexpected situations,

For him currently, it was quite useless and would only collect dust.

“Of all these pills right now, only the Spirit Integration Pill, Zifu Pill, and Condensing Crystal Pill are somewhat useful.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head lightly and looked at the system, continuing: “Draw!”

The system’s big wheel before his eyes started spinning again.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve obtained a Third-Tier fire seed: Thunder-Reinforced Flame!]

[Reward has been deposited in the system space. Host can check at any time.]

“A Third-Tier fire seed? Is this a Heavenly Flame!?”

Lu Changsheng looked at this reward, his face showing a hint of pleasant surprise.

The world was filled with many spirit fires.

If cultivators obtained the origin fire seed of these spirit fires, they could use them as their own!

These spirit fires had extremely great uses.

Not only were they immensely powerful and could be used in battles, but for pill refiners and equipment refiners, they were invaluable!

For example, many Second-Tier pills couldn’t be refined by Lu Changsheng without a pill refining room or earth vein fire.

Because the flames he condensed with spiritual power weren’t enough to support long-term pill refining, and the flame temperature wasn’t high enough.

But if he had a Heavenly Flame, he wouldn’t need to rely on earth vein fire.

Moreover, according to records in books, using such Heavenly Flames for pill refining and Equipment Refining would not only increase the success rate by a few points, but the quality of the refined pills and Artifacts would also be relatively better!

“Thunder-Reinforced Flame, a Third-Tier fire seed, should be considered a decent Heavenly Flame.”

Lu Changsheng looked towards the system space.

Instantly, information about the Thunder-Reinforced Flame appeared.

[Fire Seed: Thunder-Reinforced Flame]

[Quality: Third-Tier]

[Description: Intense flames from the core of volcanic magma, after countless lightning strikes and fusion, it has gained a hint of spirituality. Its attributes are wild and domineering.]

“Thunder-Reinforced Flame, with wild and domineering attributes? It seems this spirit fire is more suitable for Equipment Refining rather than pill refining.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Thunder-Reinforced Flame before him, raising an eyebrow.

As a top Second-Tier pill refiner, he had some understanding of flames.

He knew that for pill refining, most would use flames with relatively mild attributes.

Only a few pills would use extremely wild and domineering flames.

“But at least it’s a Third-Tier Heavenly Flame. Even if not for pill refining, it’s still a good technique to have.”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed a hint of a smile.

He didn’t immediately extract and refine the Heavenly Flame.

This trip was originally just to take advantage of some free time to draw a prize.

Having just broken through had already delayed him for quite a while, so now he naturally wanted to accompany his wives and concubines first.

At the Zhao Family on White Tiger Mountain.

“What did you say? A Spirit Stone vein was discovered deep in the Wujing ore mine of Bihu Mountain in the Black Cloud Mountain Range!?”

The Zhao Family ancestor’s face showed surprise upon hearing the report from his family head.

When Bihu Mountain was first established, Lu Changsheng had sold off many of his industries and ore veins, or cooperated with other families.

And their White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family, as a Foundation Establishment family in the surrounding area, had contracted a Wujing ore vein.

Unexpectedly, a Spirit Stone vein was discovered under this ore vein.

This, this, this…

“That’s right, ancestor. I went to verify it myself. This Spirit Stone vein is not small, and even has mid-Tier Spirit Stones. At least fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones can be mined.”

The Zhao Family Head spoke, his words revealing joy.

Fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones was no small sum for their Zhao Family!

“Fifty to sixty thousand!?”

Upon hearing this, the Zhao Family ancestor’s pupils suddenly contracted.

This was indeed not a small sum.

And this was just a rough estimate!

He asked in a deep voice: “Does the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain know about this?”

“For over a decade, the Lu Family has only managed the dividends and never inquired about anything. It was only the year before last that a young girl started coming to oversee and check.”

The Zhao Family Head shook his head and said: “So the Lu Family doesn’t know about this Spirit Stone vein yet.”

“The Lu Family doesn’t know yet…”

The Zhao Family ancestor’s face showed a thoughtful expression as he said: “If we want to keep it secret, how long can we hide it?”

Naturally, he didn’t want to give such a Spirit Stone vein to the Lu Family.

Once the Lu Family was informed, their Zhao Family would at best get some scraps.

“Ancestor, if the Bihu Mountain Lu Family finds out about this, our family might face big trouble.”

The Zhao Family Head’s face showed worry and fear.

Although the Bihu Mountain Lu Family had only been established for over a decade,

Their ancestor Lu Changsheng had a formidable reputation.

Back when he first entered Foundation Establishment, he relied on Talisman Formations to kill three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yu Family, thereby establishing the Bihu Mountain Lu Family.

Afterwards, with his wife Lu Miaoge, he killed five Fouudation Establishment cultivators at the Hongye Valley Marketplace!

The family also had a formation grandmaster in residence!

Such strength and achievements, even if aided by external items and exaggerated, their power was undeniable!

It was completely incomparable to their Zhao Family!

“I naturally understand that, which is why I’m asking you how long we can keep it hidden if we want to conceal it.”

The Zhao Family ancestor saw the fear on his descendant’s face and felt somewhat disappointed.

One must know that cultivation is a struggle for the great Way!

Now that the ancestors had blessed them with such a great opportunity before their eyes, his descendant was showing cowardice merely because of the other party’s reputation. It was truly disappointing.

“Currently, we can still conceal and hide it for a while. Once we start full-scale mining, in at most half a year, they will certainly detect something unusual.”

“Moreover, I’ve already investigated. This girl isn’t just going through the motions or putting on a show. She checks everything carefully each time.”

The Zhao Family Head said thus.

“What’s this girl’s name? Is there any way to bribe her?”

The Zhao Family ancestor continued to ask.

“This girl is called Lu Ruyi. She’s the daughter of Lu Changsheng’s concubine.”

“The Bihu Mountain Lu Family is famous for being generous to their family members. It might not be easy to bribe this girl.”

The Zhao Family Head’s face showed a hint of gravity.

“Lu Ruyi?”

The Zhao Family ancestor heard this name but had no impression of it.

As the Zhao Family ancestor, he had some understanding of the situation at Bihu Mountain.

But Lu Changsheng had too many children to keep track of.

He just roughly remembered that the Lu Family had produced two Fourth-Tier Spirit Root geniuses before, one named Lu Qingxian and one named Lu Wangshu.

Then the person in charge of the Lu Family’s puppet factory was called… Lu Xian’er.

“If this girl isn’t married yet, send someone to try to approach her.”

“If it’s feasible, go to Bihu Mountain to propose a marriage, see if we can tie her to our Zhao Family.”

The Zhao Family ancestor said in a deep voice.

Their Zhao Family had suffered heavy losses in the battle at Blackwater Pool years ago.

Not only did they lose a Foundation Establishment ancestor, but they also lost several Foundation Establishment seeds.

Over the years, he had strongly supported and cultivated new blood, gradually improving the family’s situation.

But because of this, it had also led to the family being stretched thin.

If they could mine this Spirit Stone vein, it would not only alleviate the family’s situation but also provide funds to cultivate new Foundation Establishment cultivators!

At Bihu Mountain.

In the Lu Family Mansion.

“Father, these are our family’s Xuan generation spirit seedlings for this year.”

Lu Qingsong went to Ruyi County for the spirit testing ceremony and brought back the Lu Family children with Spirit Roots to Bihu Mountain.

“Greetings, Grandfather!”

These two Lu Family Xuan generation children bowed to Lu Changsheng.

Their eyes curiously examined this grandfather before them.

They had heard from their parents that their grandfather was an immortal, and now they too could cultivate immortality.

“What are your names?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the two children and asked softly.

“My name is Lu Xuanchan, and I’m Lu Xuanyu.”

The two children said in clear voices.

“Xuanchan, Xuanyu.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, asked a few simple questions, and then had his son Lu Yun settle the two children.

As time passed, now the secular Lu Family could produce one or two spirit seedlings every few years.

This year producing two was considered quite good.

After all, the total number of the Lu Family’s third generation had reached one hundred and ninety-seven, almost equal to the number of his children.

But among these one hundred and ninety-three children, only sixteen had Spirit Roots.

Moreover, among these sixteen, eleven were born to Lu Yun, Lu Xian’er, and the others from Bihu Mountain.

It could only be said that for parents who were both ordinary people, giving birth to a child with Spirit Root was too difficult.

They could only rely on quantity to get lucky and produce a few.

A month later.

Lu Changsheng, thinking of the Thunder-Reinforced Flame in his system space, said he had some insights and needed to go into seclusion for a while.

To this, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and tte others naturally had no objections.

After all, this was the daily routine of most cultivators.

Like Lu Miaoge, who often went intt seclusion to cultivate, usually only coming out of her Cave Dwelling once every ten days or half a month.

Lu Changsheng’s behavior of being leisurely and free most of the time, spending most of his time accompanying his wives, concubines, and children, was actually an anomaly among cultivators.

“Extract!”

In the Cave Dwelling of Hall of Everlasting Life, Lu Changsheng looked at the system space and mentally commanded.

Instantly, a palm-sized purple-red flame appeared in mid-air, emanating an intense heat.

As it burned and churned, there seemed to be a purple lightning snake swimming within the flame, wild and terrifying, causing visible distortions in the space around the flame.

“As expected of a Third-Tier Heavenly Flame, it’s terrifyingly powerful!”

Lu Changsheng took a small step back, looking at the Thunder-Reinforced Flame before him with some surprise.

Through the system’s introduction to the Thunder-Reinforced Flame, he knew that if he refined this Thunder-Reinforced Flame, his battle power could rise by another level, adding one more technique to his arsenal.

However, such a Heavenly Flame had already given birth to spirituality, and trying to refine and subdue it would not be simple.

“Good thing I have a cheat!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Then he took out a Spirit Tool sword and forcefully cut a wound on his palm.

Blood flowed from his palm, covering it.

“Come, little one!”

Lu Changsheng’s spiritual power flowed, enveloping his hand as he slowly extended it into the Thunder-Reinforced Flame.

Even though this Thunder-Reinforced Flame had an instinctive consciousness and no intention to harm him,

Just the innate power of the flame made his palm scorching hot and painful, his skin like a red-hot branding iron.

“Hiss! If I hadn’t broken through to late Foundation Establishment, had the Xuan Yuan Pearl, and spiritual power comparable to a False Core, even with the system’s help, I wouldn’t be able to refine such a Third-Tier fire seed!”

Lu Changsheng felt the burning pain from his palm and sharply sucked in a cold breath.

If it weren’t for knowing the situation of the Thunder-Reinforced Flame through the system and being confident, knowing he could refine it, he would definitely give up.

The Thunder-Reinforced Flame seemed to sense Lu Changsheng’s pain, and the purple little snake inside began to draw his fresh blood.

As it drew blood, the burning flame grew smaller and smaller, finally condensing into a thumb-sized purple-red fire seed!

This was the origin fire seed of the Thunder-Reinforced Flame!

Through the system information, Lu Changsheng knew that when this Thunder-Reinforced Flame was initially formed, it was about the size of a small half mountain peak.

It was only through constant refinement in the process that it gradually took this form.

Only in this way could it be called a Heavenly Flame!

“The real test of skill has arrived.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the thumb-sized fire seed in his hand, his eyelids twitching slightly.

Next, he needed to swallow this fire seed and then refine it, assimilating it with his spiritual power.

This was the most dangerous step in refining a Heavenly Flame!

Whether for Qi Refining cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even Golden Core true persons, the interior of the body had always been the most vulnerable part.

Especially the human meridians and dantian.

Once a problem occurred, at best it would half cripple one’s cultivation, at worst it could lead to death!

Therefore, refining a Heavenly Flame was extremely dangerous!

Most pill refiners and equipment refiners in the world chose to cultivate certain innate true fire techniques or Divine Abilities!

Only a very few people dared to refine Heavenly Flames!

However, before refining, they would prepare all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures to reduce the risk.

Or, as a Golden Core true person, choose to refine a Second-Tier Heavenly Flame and then slowly nurture it.

Lu Changsheng’s approach of not preparing anything and refining a Heavenly Flame of a higher grade than himself was unprecedented!

Anyone who saw this would say, don’t you value your life!?

“If it weren’t for the little system, this thing would indeed be terrifying, practically playing with my life.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the fire seed and clicked his tongue in amazement.

He took out several ice attribute talismans and healing talismans from his Storage Ring in advance, along with one or two bottles of pills.

Then, with spiritual power covering his entire body, he raised his hand and threw the fire seed into his mouth.

Although he, Lu, valued his life and didn’t like suffering,

He was still willing to endure a little suffering for a great gain!

After all, being unable to endure suffering and not liking to suffer were two different things!

As soon as the fire seed entered his mouth, Lu Changsheng immediately tightly closed his lips, let out a muffled groan, and his face turned slightly pale.

He strongly endured the waves of scorching heat in his body, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense sinking into his body.

He could see that after the Thunder-Reinforced Flame entered his body, it immediately dispersed into strands of tiny purple-red flames flowing through his meridians.

These flames, though extremely small, like hair-thin, emanated intense heat, as if they were about to burn and melt his flesh and body.

“Huff, huff, huff—”

The spiritual power covering Lu Changsheng’s body was constantly being consumed.

He immediately took the pills and talismans he had prepared, letting a stream of cold flow into his body to suppress the scorching heat.

Then he started running the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual and the Hundred Refined Body Technique to begin refining the fire seed.

As he ran his techniques, the Thunder-Reinforced Flame was very cooperative.

This was also the confidence that allowed him to dare to refine the fire seed!

Otherwise, if during this process the fire seed’s instinctive consciousness began to stubbornly resist, causing the flames to become wild and burn fiercely, it would be very dangerous!

“Hum, hum, hum—”

Just then, a sound like a dragon’s roar seemed to arise from within Lu Changsheng’s body.

His Dragon Chant Physique instinctively awakened, a fierce and domineering yang energy surging out, rushing towards the Thunder-Reinforced Flame, wanting to subdue this fire seed origin and help his spiritual power refine it.

“Hmm, the Dragon Chant Physique even has this effect?”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed a look of surprise and doubt.

Although he knew the general situation of the Dragon Chant Physique,

He didn’t really know the specific powers and effects of this Spirit Body.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Chant Physique could actually help him refine a Heavenly Flame!

“Could it be because both the Dragon Chant Physique and the Thunder-Reinforced Flame have extremely yang and domineering attributes?”

Lu Changsheng speculated in his heart.

At this moment, he personally experienced the benefits and effects brought by a Top-Tier Spirit Body!

No wonder many Top-Tier techniques, treasures, and spirit beasts were difficult for ordinary cultivators to subdue, while geniuses found it easy.

Because with good talent, facing these things was simply much easier and smoother!

Without thinking too much, Lu Changsheng focused on refining this fire seed origin.

With the active cooperation of the Thunder-Reinforced Flame and the help of the Dragon Chant Physique, the refinement process instantly became much smoother.

During this process, Lu Changsheng realized that the Dragon Chant yang energy in his body was continuously fusing into the Thunder-Reinforced Flame.

As the Thunder-Reinforced Flame circulated through his body, it gradually integrated with his flesh, meridians, and spiritual power!

This process was very mysterious, causing the Thunder-Reinforced Flame to undergo inexplicable changes!

And so, time passed bit by bit.

Who knows how long it had been.

The thumb-sized fire seed had fused all the dispersed purple-red flames, once again taking the form of a small flame.

Lu Changsheng had initially refined this fire seed and could roughly control this Thunder-Reinforced Flame.

However, he still needed to control it carefully now, otherwise a slight carelessness could harm himself.

He didn’t stop, continuing to refine the Thunder-Reinforced Flame, intending to finish refining it in one go.

As the Dragon Chant yang energy and the Thunder-Reinforced Flame continued to fuse, the purple lightning snake in the fire seed origin seemed to transform into a purple-golden lightning dragon, gaining a somewhat divine and domineering aura.

This caused the fire seed to gradually temper his meridians and bones as it flowed and circulated through his meridians repeatedly, accelerating the operation of his Hundred Refined Body Technique at this moment.

After who knows how long, Lu Changsheng completely refined the Thunder-Reinforced Flame.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

At this moment, his body radiated treasure light, emanating a terrifying blood essence pressure, countless purple-red flames rolling out from his body, extremely terrifying!

“Thunder-Reinforced Flame! Unexpectedly, this Thunder-Reinforced Flame is so compatible with the Dragon Chant Physique, perfectly matching me!”

“However, now this Thunder-Reinforced Flame can be called Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame!”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils suffused with two purple-golden flames, looking mysterious and domineering.

The purple-red flames rolling and spreading throughout the Cave Dwelling were under his control, forming into a purple-red, snake-like yet dragon-like flood dragon, coiling around his body, emanating a scorching and terrifying aura!

If he had refined this Thunder-Reinforced Flame normally, it absolutely wouldn’t have such power!

But this Thunder-Reinforced Flame was very compatible with the Dragon Chant Physique!

He refined this Thunder-Reinforced Flame in one go, making it his innate spirit fire.

Now he not only perfectly mastered this Thunder-Reinforced Flame, but also slightly increased its power!

“Not only that, under the effect of the Thunder-Reinforced Flame and the Dragon Chant Physique, my Hundred Refined Body Technique has directly broken through to the eighth layer, reaching the quasi-Third-Tier level of body tempering!”

“Now if I engage in close combat, relying on this Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame, even False Core cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand it!”

Lu Changsheng spread his arms, stretching his muscles and bones, immediately causing a series of crisp ‘crack-crack’ sounds throughout his body, the flames around his body gradually disappearing.

Although he had refined the Thunder-Reinforced Flame as his innate spirit fire, it still consumed spiritual power.

“To break through, I still need to rely on drawing prizes and spirit bodies.”

“I wonder what other effects the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body has besides extending lifespan, enhancing charm techniques, and increasing cultivation speed.”

“As a Top-Tier Spirit Body, the Dragon Chant Physique has such amazing effects, the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body shouldn’t be inferior.”

Lu Changsheng let out a long breath, his whole body returning to normal, muttering to himself.

He thought about whether he could get this kind of extremely yang and domineering Heavenly Flame in the future to give one to his son Lu Lingxiao as well.

After all, as an old father, he had already tried it for his son. This Dragon Chant Physique was really useful and very compatible with Heavenly Flames!
