766. Chapter 764 Mutual Learning

After several days of cultivation, Lu Yuan also built deep friendships with other cultivators during this period.

He gradually understood the complexity of the Xiuzhen Jie branch institutions' operations, and began guiding Xiao Jing to improve her alchemy level.

Through meeting Youhun Sect's Hong Lietian, Lu Yuan learned more insider information.

Lu Yuan insisted on cooperating with Su Liyan, sharing weal and woe, and both sides gained much from mutual assistance.

Xiao Jing achieved notable accomplishments in both cultivation techniques and alchemy studies.

As time passed, Lu Yuan gradually became the focal point of Lei Huo Dan Ge, and the Supreme Dao Ancestor regarded him as a key candidate for inheritance cultivation.

During this process, Lei Huo Dan Ge also attracted increasing numbers of cultivators seeking guidance and resource exchange.

Lu Yuan gladly shared his experience and insights, helping them solve problems and improve their strength.

At the same time, with the help of Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan, Lu Yuan gradually formed his own unique cultivation method and thought pattern.

They mutually practiced and discussed together, continually improving their strength and skills.

Xiao Jing also gradually became an important figure in Lei Huo Dan Ge; under the guidance of Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, she diligently studied alchemy knowledge and successfully broke through her alchemy bottleneck.

Her pill-making level was greatly enhanced, and she began to supply Lei Huo Dan Ge with more high-quality pills.

One day, Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan accompanied Lu Yuan as they stood on the high tower of Lei Huo Dan Ge, overlooking the entire Heavenly Wind City.

"Looking at the prosperous and thriving scene of this city, I feel immensely proud."

Zi Xi'er said with feeling.

Su Liyan nodded in agreement: "Yes, our Lei Huo Dan Ge has developed from a small shop into such a revered and admired cultivation institution today, which is truly not easy."

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "This is all thanks to your two's support and effort."

"It is your own years of persistent struggle that have led to today's achievements."

Su Liyan said.

The three of them exchanged smiles, their hearts filled with anticipation and challenges for the future.

As Lu Yuan's strength and reputation gradually increased, he began to attract more attention from forces in the Xiuzhen Jie.

Some major cultivator clans and sects successively sent people to invite him to join, hoping to obtain his help and guidance.

Although Lu Yuan felt inclined, he still decided not to join any force for the time being, focusing his energy on the development of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

"Lei Huo Dan Ge is something we founded together; I will not let down everyone's support and expectations of me."

Lu Yuan stated solemnly.

As the day of the Sect Grand Comparison approached, disciples inside and outside Lei Huo Dan Ge were intensifying their training.

Lu Yuan was also striving to enhance his strength, preparing to face this important trial.

And in a chance encounter, Lu Yuan met Feng Tianfeng in the Dan Ge.

She was his former junior martial sister; her cultivation has now advanced by leaps and bounds, and she is daily making full effort to prepare for the inner door examination.

"Feng Junior Sister, long time no see."

Lu Yuan greeted with a smile.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Feng Tianfeng also showed a delighted expression.

"Lu Senior Brother, you're also here to cultivate! That's great."

The two found a quiet corner, chatting while drinking tea about recent events.

"I heard your cultivation has made a great breakthrough? \" Lu Yuan inquired.

Feng Tianfeng nodded: "Yes, after the previous closed-door retreat, I obtained a high-level cultivation manual secret manual, the 'Nine Dragon Divine Flight'."

"Through continual cultivation and comprehension, I finally mastered it and combined it with the 'Five Dragon Beast Transformation Technique'."

"Now I have some confidence that I can smoothly pass the inner door examination."

Lu Yuan felt happy about Feng Tianfeng's progress: "Junior Sister, you're truly amazing; your strength has increased so rapidly."

Feng Tianfeng smiled: "Yes, I have also worked very hard."

"However, this inner door examination concerns my future cultivation direction, so I cannot be the slightest bit careless."

"It is said that after passing the inner door examination, one will receive a special mission, allowing access to more sect secrets."

Lu Yuan slightly frowned: "My master's uncle recently left Lei Huo Dan Ge, his goal unknown."

"Do you know where he went?"

Feng Tianfeng shook her head with a wry smile: "My master's uncle didn't tell me the specific destination; he only said there were some important matters to attend to."

"He also instructed me to focus on cultivation and prepare for the inner door examination before he returns."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "In that case, perhaps we can set out together after the inner door examination to search for our master's uncle's whereabouts."

"Perhaps he encountered some trouble, and we can help."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude: "Lu Senior Brother, are you willing to help me find my master's uncle? Thank you so much."

Lu Yuan gently shook his head: "Feng Junior Sister, we are all one family, of course we should help each other."

"Moreover, your master's uncle is also my master; he has given me many teachings and kindness."

"As long as we cultivate diligently, I believe we will surely find him."

Feng Tianfeng looked moved at Lu Yuan, her eyes flashing with determined light: "Lu Senior Brother, you are right."

"We will surely find my master's uncle and bring him back safely to Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Feng Tianfeng temporarily stayed at Lu Yuan's residence, and the two continued to work closely together, preparing for the upcoming Sect Grand Comparison.

Lu Yuan learned from her an important piece of news—this competition will have new rules, contestants cannot rely on any external aids.

This means Lu Yuan cannot use his forte, artifact crafting technique, to enhance his strength.

After hearing this news, Lu Yuan fell into contemplation; he knew Lei Huo Dan Ge had high hopes for him to participate as a third-rank artifact craftsman representative, but if he cannot use artifact crafting, how should he face this huge challenge?

As an outstanding artifact craftsman, Lu Yuan deeply understands the importance of the artifact crafting path in Xian Jie cultivation.

He has always been dedicated to improving his artifact-refining skills, and he feels very proud of it.

Now he must face a new test: defeat the other participants with his own strength.

This news quickly spread within Lei Huo Dan Ge, causing an uproar.

Especially those disciples who specialized in artifact refining and alchemy expressed concern and dissatisfaction, questioning the new rules.

However, the Sect Leader of Lei Huo Dan Ge gave a firm response—the rules of the Grand Competition cannot be changed.

To reach the level of a Third-Rank Artifact Refiner, Lu Yuan decided to devote more effort to his cultivation.

He wakes up early every day to begin training and continues until late at night.

During this period, he hardly ever left his training chamber.

At the same time, Feng Tianfeng was also preparing for the Grand Competition in Lu Yuan's residence.

She is one of Lu Yuan's closest friends and also an outstanding practitioner of Ice Immortal Arts. (End of Chapter)
