Lu Chen was not flying for the first ti, yet it was the first ti soone carried him aloft.
Feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him, he quietly activated the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique. Through the hues, he discerned Elder Zhu’s spirit roots!
"Triple spirit roots, tal, fire, earth!"
Lu Chen muttered to himself; his greatest gain from the experience with the incomplete five elents was his familiarity with the properties of the five types of spiritual energies.
Through the explanation of the Foundation Establishnt disciple at the gate earlier, Lu Chen had also gained a preliminary understanding of spirit roots.
"However, he said I have quintuple spirit roots and brought into the sect because I ntioned that I refined a spear. There must be so reasoning behind this. How should I explain later?"
Had there been a chance to stay at the Casting Gear Pavilion, Lu Chen would not have risked heading directly to the Hehuan Sect.
After all, the pressure from a third-rate sect would be sowhat smaller.
Moreover, learning the spell for Artifact Refining here would be greatly beneficial for rescuing Lu Tianren later on.
As he pondered, Elder Zhu had brought Lu Chen into a valley.
In the valley, the spiritual energy was exceedingly dense, mostly filled with drifting Fire Spirit Qi. With just a glance, Lu Chen could guess a few things.
"Boy, this is my Refinent Valley. Don’t look around randomly, lest you see things you shouldn’t and invite a fatal disaster!"
Elder Zhu’s expression had returned to being stern, but there was a hint of warning in his words.
Lu Chen quickly averted his gaze, saying, "I apologize, elder. I felt the intensity of the fire power here and instinctively took a few more glances without seeing anything."
"Oh?"
Elder Zhu narrowed his eyes, sowhat surprised, and said, "You can feel the Fire Spirit Qi here?"
Lu Chen found it odd internally but naturally couldn’t reveal his true vision, so he replied, "Elder, I’ve always been sensitive to Fire Spiritual Power, though I’m not sure why!"
"You..."
Hearing this, Elder Zhu was even more astonished because his earlier investigation revealed that Lu Chen’s spiritual power was extrely balanced, indicative of a quintessential quintuple spirit root!
For those with quintuple spirit roots, entering the Qi Refinent Realm was relatively easy.
But reaching the Foundation Establishnt Stage was not so simple. Elder Zhu suddenly rembered that Lu Chen was not very old!
Previously, his focus had not been on this point but was piqued by Lu Chen’s own Mysterious Iron Spear refinent, leading him to wonder whether the boy had ingested so kind of fire-oriented spiritual dicine to make his Fire Spiritual Root stand out more?
Together with so fortunate encounters, it was indeed possible!
If that were the case, although the boy might not have much potential for cultivation, he would be perfect for helping with Artifact Refining!
Instantly, Elder Zhu’s view of Lu Chen turned much kindlier!
"Kid, follow inside for now. You don’t need to refer to as your elder anymore. My surna is Zhu, belonging to the ’Chong’ generation, and I am the ninth in line, so my na is Zhu Chongjiu. You can call Elder Zhu or Elder Jiu!"
"Yes, Elder Zhu!"
That ranking was quite at the bottom; Lu Chen naturally wouldn’t address him that way.
Zhu Chongjiu was quite pleased internally, thinking that the boy did have so discernnt.
Indeed, otherwise a quintuple spirit root individual advancing to the Foundation Establishnt Stage would be at least in his forties or fifties, even if he started from the womb!
"Follow this elder inside," Zhu Chongjiu said with a smile, turning around and gesturing for Lu Chen to follow him into the cave ahead.
Imdiately, Lu Chen’s pupils caught sight of the dense red Fire Spiritual Power swirling about.
However, amidst this Fire Spiritual Power, there was faintly a pale blue Water Spirit Power circulating, which seed quite discordant.
He frowned slightly.
Water conquers fire.
But with the fire overpowering, water fails to conquer it.
If there was Water Spirit Power here, it served as a hidden issue.
Zhu Chongjiu using this place for Artifact Refining...
It was very prone to problems!
Yet at the mont, Lu Chen did not know what Zhu Chongjiu’s attitude toward him was like. If he were willing to take him into the Ji Pavilion, Lu Chen would naturally raise this concern.
But if he was rely interested in the Mysterious Iron Spear Lu Chen had refined, Lu Chen preferred to remain a passerby!
It was hard enough to be a good person among ordinary martial artists.
Let alone in the Cultivation World!
Keep in mind that previously, Zhu Chongjiu had not been fond of him!
Lu Chen kept his guard up and followed Zhu Chongjiu deeper into the cave until they reached the bottom where he saw a pit exuding flas!
"Lu Chen, this is this elder’s Artifact Refining furnace! This is a natural Spiritual Fire, emanating from the underground fire veins, known among the Spiritual Fires as... Earth Fire!"
