765. Chapter 763: Only When You Are Strong Are We Strong

"I will start a new journey from Azure Sky Town."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He deeply expressed his gratitude to Hong Lietian, thanking this elder who had provided many opportunities for the Black Flame Sect.

They met in Marvelous City and together endured many hardships and challenges; truly, their fates were intertwined.

"Elder Hong Lietian, thank you for providing me with so many opportunities and help."

"Although we will part temporarily, no matter when or where, I will always remember your kindness."

Lu Yuan sincerely said to Hong Lietian.

Hong Lietian smiled and waved his hand, "Lu Yuan, you should cultivate well yourself."

"Only when you become stronger can the Black Flame Sect develop and grow better."

"Someday, we will meet again."

Lu Yuan nodded, watching Hong Lietian's receding figure fade away.

He felt deep reluctance about this parting.

Returning to Heavenly Wind City, Lu Yuan entered Lei Huo Dan Ge and found Su Liyan already waiting for a while.

She stood to the side, her expression somewhat cold, seeming dissatisfied with him.

"Miss Yan, why are you here?"

Lu Yuan smiled as he approached her.

Su Liyan let out a soft hum, "Aren't I waiting for you here?"

"You've been gone so long; do you not even value me anymore?"

Lu Yuan blinked, then gave a helpless smile, "Sorry, I might have been negligent in my haste."

Su Liyan's gaze swept to the Lei Huo Dan Ge behind Lu Yuan, "Is this your faction?"

"It seems you really take it seriously."

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, "Of course, this is my undertaking; I bear responsibility within it."

Su Liyan frowned, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We will still travel together in the Xiuzhen Jie in the future; if we lack even basic trust..."

Lu Yuan hurriedly explained, "Sorry, I indeed did not tell you out of good intentions."

"Back then we never discussed this detail."

Su Liyan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Forget it; since you value it so much, I won't be angry."

"Actually, I have something I need your help with."

Lu Yuan asked curiously, "What is it? Tell me."

Su Liyan hesitated slightly, then finally spoke.

"My body is not very stable; I need to adjust the fluctuations of my spiritual power."

Lu Yuan's brows slightly furrowed, "Your body is not stable?"

"What is the situation?"

"Have you gone to see other cultivators for help?"

Su Liyan slightly dissatisfied said, "The healing methods of the Xiuzhen Jie differ from your approach; this is a problem bestowed upon me by heaven, and only you seem able to help."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, "Since you trust my medical skills, I will do my best to help you."

Su Liyan nodded, "Alright, if you can truly solve my problem, I am willing to pay 200,000 spirit stones as compensation."

Lu Yuan laughed and shook his head, "We are already friends; how could I accept payment?"

"As long as I can help you, that is the best reward."

Su Liyan let out a light scoff, "Generous people sure are talkative."

"However, since you are so insistent, I won't stand on ceremony."

Lu Yuan gazed at the book in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly turning up.

After five days and nights of effort, it seemed not in vain; he finally confirmed that the method of synthesizing pills using rare beast bones as the main ingredient was feasible.

Although he failed to successfully produce the pill with the expected effect, this did not dampen his enthusiasm and confidence.

The next morning, Lu Yuan decided to leave the city again to purchase the needed materials.

After obtaining a clue from the market, he selected several shops to scout, hoping to find suitable beast bones.

As Lu Yuan entered a shop named Dragon Chant Hall, a familiar voice reached his ears: "Lu Yuan? Is that you?"

He turned his head toward the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man striding toward him with confident, steady steps.

The man wore a black robe; his tall, slender frame exuded a sharp aura.

"True Lord Po Tian!"

Lu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, calling out the other's name.

"Long time no see! How are you here?"

True Lord Po Tian smiled, saying, "I have some business to attend to outside the city, and I came by to do some shopping."

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

The two began chatting casually; True Lord Po Tian laughed, "I heard you've been researching pills lately."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, I want to try a new type of pill that strengthens the flesh."

True Lord Po Tian listened patiently, then his eyes brightened, "I have a story about beast bones that might give you some inspiration."

He then described in detail a rumored matter related to beast bones.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan suddenly realized.

"I see!"

"Thanks for the reminder, I understand."

Lu Yuan eagerly grasped True Lord Po Tian's hand. "Thank you again."

True Lord Po Tian patted Lu Yuan's shoulder. "Don't be polite."

"In the world of immortality, many cultivators don't value beast bones, but I believe they have great potential."

"I hope you succeed."

Before leaving, he also handed Lu Yuan a richly experienced manual on alchemy.

"This is a little insight of mine; perhaps it will help you."

Lu Yuan watched True Lord Po Tian recede into the distance, a feeling of gratitude welling up in his heart.

He silently rejoiced that he had been fortunate enough to meet such a hero.

After completing the mission and accumulating some resources in Azure Heaven Town, Black Wind Sect Sect Leader Hong Lietian hurriedly returned to the sect.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan chose to stay a few more days in Azure Heaven Town, during which he successfully developed a new type of bone-strengthening pill, the 'Strong-Bone Pill'.

Afterward, he returned to Lei Huo Dan Ge to carry out a month of intensive cultivation and practice.

Lu Yuan made notable progress in tempering his body and improving his artifact-crafting skills, especially in artifact crafting, where he displayed extraordinary talent beyond ordinary people.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan stood at the gate of Lei Huo Dan Ge, their eyes fixed on the spiritual power condensed in Lu Yuan's hand.

"His progress is truly astonishing."

Zi Xi'er said admiringly.

Su Liyan also nodded in agreement, "He has not only made a great breakthrough in spiritual power, but also mastered many higher immortal techniques."

In the hall at the entrance, Lu Yuan was focused on circulating his spiritual power.

Suddenly, a red light burst from within him, instantly enveloping the entire hall.

This is a defensive spell he recently researched—Flame Body Shield.

Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan stared agape at this scene, their hearts filled with shock.

Lu Yuan gradually stopped circulating his spiritual power, smiling as he walked toward the two.

"'How is it? How does my Flame Body Shield fare?'"

"Amazing!"

Su Liyan said excitedly, "I have never seen such a powerful defensive spell."

Zi Xi'er also nodded repeatedly, "Your strength has made another great leap forward—it's fantastic!"

Lu Yuan laughed humbly, "One still needs to keep striving." (End of chapter)
