Chapter 707: with translation of chapter title

707. Chapter 705 The quality of this spirit rice is not ordinary.

We need more strength to face future challenges.

Su Liyan looked at Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling and said, "Are you willing to join us?"

Zi Xi'er pondered for a moment and then said, "I am willing to seek more resources and opportunities for the clan, helping you while also improving myself."

Zi Cui Ling stepped forward, tightly grasping Lu Yuan's hand and said, "Lu Yuan, you are the top son-in-law candidate our clan favors."

"Since we have formed a fake marital relationship, I will also fully support your adventures and battles."

Lu Yuan showed a relieved smile, knowing that Zi Cui Ling supported and approved of their decision.

After they discussed, they decided to contend for strength through a duel.

Five days later, a large-scale duel event was held at the Heavenly Wind City Lord's Tower.

Disciples and elders from various sects came to watch the battle.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan represented Lei Huo Dan Ge in the competition, while Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling took turns participating in each match.

After the match began, Lu Yuan displayed his profound immortal technique, the Five Elements Escape Technique.

He used the power of the five elements—earth, wood, water, fire, and metal—to suppress the enemy, demonstrating strong control ability.

And Su Liyan displayed the power of her ice-element immortal arts.

She manipulated the jade ice shards with the Ice Crystal Long Whip, completely freezing the enemy and defeating the opponent at the critical moment.

Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling also displayed their strength.

Zi Xi'er employed the clan's inherited sealing technique, capable of swiftly sealing the enemy's magical power.

Zi Cui Ling excelled at using wind-element immortal arts, transforming into a wind spirit, swiftly moving across the battlefield and launching deadly attacks.

After a hard-fought battle, Lei Huo Dan Ge successfully won the match, obtaining precious cultivation resources and magical artifacts.

This match showed everyone Lei Huo Dan Ge's formidable strength, earning recognition and respect from all.

After the duel victory, Lei Huo Dan Ge returned once again to the bustling Heavenly Wind City.

Disciples and elders from various sects came to congratulate Lu Yuan and Su Liyan on their victory.

Their might and strength were astonishing, making Lei Huo Dan Ge famous throughout the land.

After their status rose, Lu Yuan also sent envoys to other sects to discuss cooperation, hoping to further expand Lei Huo Dan Ge's influence.

At the same time, Zi Xi'er led elite members of the Ziyun Clan to join Lei Huo Dan Ge.

With Zi Xi'er's addition, she brought Lei Huo Dan Ge powerful resources and rare magical artifacts.

The Ziyun Clan thus established a close relationship with Lei Huo Dan Ge.

After experiencing some turmoil, Lu Yuan realized he needed more high-grade magical artifacts to support his future cultivation.

He decided to devote more effort in the coming time to search for these precious artifacts.

To better plan their future cultivation goals, Lu Yuan gathered Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and Zi Cui Ling for discussion.

They decided to go to the Xian Jie to seek the legendary artifacts said to be able to touch higher levels.

Before departure, Su Liyan, Zi Xi'er, and Zi Cui Ling helped Lu Yuan prepare some necessities and treasures.

They carefully refined Lu Yuan's Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword and, according to his cultivation traits, crafted a bed that could accommodate the Dao Rhyme function.

After preparations were complete, they set out on their journey to the Xian Jie.

The beautiful and wondrous scenery of the Xian Jie left the four dazzled.

Mountains towered, mist swirled, and everywhere was filled with immortal aura.

Along the way, they encountered many astonishing magical artifacts and treasures, but most were guarded by powerful creatures.

They needed to exert great effort to obtain these rare treasures.

Despite this, Lu Yuan did not retreat in the slightest.

He employed the Detection Technique to set up the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, using his divine sense to perceive the locations of many treasures.

Su Liyan used the Ice Crystal Long Whip and Jade Ice Shards to freeze the guardians' movements, opening more opportunities for Lu Yuan.

Zi Xi'er and Zi Cui Ling also exerted their unique strength, sealing some dangerous artifacts.

Day by day passed, and during their days of exploration in the Xian Jie, Lu Yuan and the others accumulated rich cultivation experience and gathered many high-grade artifacts.

These artifacts not only increased their strength but also provided more materials for crafting artifacts in Lei Huo Dan Ge.

In the wilderness, the four sat together in a circle to rest.

Lu Yuan gazed at the Divine Forging Diagram in his hand and the sheet of paper for the bed with Dao Rhyme function.

He felt a stronger power and purpose surging from deep within his heart.

After returning to Heavenly Wind City, Lei Huo Dan Ge's business became even more prosperous; not only did disciples from major sects come to buy pills, but some demonic cultivators also began to come and go frequently, bringing new vitality to the market.

Lu Yuan entered the Dan Ge, relying on the identity token he obtained in the secret realm, and after the guard acknowledged him, he proceeded directly to the internal trading area.

The guard recognized Lu Yuan at a glance and immediately respectfully led him to the VIP room.

Soon after, Su Liyan entered elegantly.

She wore a light blue silk robe, her long hair flowing like a waterfall over her shoulders.

Her beautiful eyes glimmered with a hint of liveliness, and her whole person exuded an icy, snow-like chill.

She smiled and shook hands with Lu Yuan in greeting.

"Young Master Lu, welcome back to Lei Huo Dan Ge." Su Liyan said warmly.

Lu Yuan took out a precious spirit rice from his storage bag and handed it to Su Liyan, saying, "This is what I obtained in the secret realm; please accept it."

He thanked Su Liyan.

Su Liyan received the spirit rice, a flash of surprise in her eyes, "Thank you so much."

"The quality of this spirit rice is not ordinary; it can certainly be used to refine excellent pills."

The two sat down in the VIP room, and Lu Yuan began to ask Su Liyan for advice on how to handle the spirit grain obtained from the secret realm.

He was not skilled in this way, so he hoped to receive Su Liyan's guidance.

Su Liyan smiled and nodded, taking out a slender jade slip on which she had written full methods for handling Spirit Valley.

"These handling methods are all I learned from my master; they are very practical."

She handed the jade slip to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took the jade slip and began reading it seriously.

He became engrossed, expressing gratitude for the precious experience Su Liyan provided.

"These methods are very helpful."

"To show my gratitude, please accept these rare arcane materials."

Lu Yuan took out another piece of arcane material he had carefully collected and handed it to Su Liyan.

Su Liyan received the arcane material, her eyes full of surprise and gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Lu Yuan."

"These arcane materials are very important to me; I will certainly make good use of them."

Their interaction was extremely harmonious, with no trace of awkwardness arising from the exchange of spirit rice and arcane materials.

On the contrary, in this mutual assistance, they became more familiar and trusting of each other.

Time quietly slipped away; Lu Yuan and Su Liyan communicated for a long time, and all sorts of trivial matters were settled. (End of chapter)
