833. Chapter 831 Forging Breakthrough

His gaze revealed a unique understanding of magical artifacts and profound cultivation, causing Su Liyan to sincerely admire him.

She firmly believed that, under Lu Yuan's guidance, this forging would surely achieve a breakthrough.

As the forging proceeded, a mysterious energy gradually coalesced, enveloping the 'Cold Jade Ice Slice'.

Su Liyan felt the flow of her internal mana unusually smooth, as if a wonderful connection had been established with the fobao.

A sense of unprecedented sudden enlightenment welled up in her heart, as if she had found a certain harmony on her cultivation path.

Finally, a dazzling light emanated from the 'Cold Jade Ice Slice', illuminating the entire room.

Su Liyan gazed at the fobao before her, flickering with a dark blue radiance, feeling the powerful energy waves it emitted, and an inexplicable pride and joy welled up in her heart.

"We succeeded!"

Lu Yuan laughed loudly, his face full of relief.

Su Liyan turned to look at Lu Yuan, her eyes flashing with gratitude: 'Thank you, Lu Yuan; without your guidance, I could never have reached this step.'

Lu Yuan waved his hand: 'Don't be polite; this is what I should do.'

'As long as I can help you, I feel content.'

Su Liyan carefully placed the 'Cold Jade Ice Slice' into her bosom, knowing this fobao would become further aid for her, allowing her to navigate her future cultivation path with ease.

Lu Yuan, with Zi Xi'er's advice, began preparing the next batch of forging materials.

His heart brimmed with anticipation, believing that once his cultivation made a breakthrough, he would be able to craft even higher-grade fobaos.

After completing the enhancement of Su Liyan's fobao, Lu Yuan tidied up the materials and prepared to return to the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Returning to the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan stepped into the familiar hall, sensed the familiar aura, and a warmth welled up in his heart.

He gazed at the neatly arranged forging tools in the hall, his heart full of confidence in his cultivation path.

Although he longed to venture out for training and spread his self-created pill recipes, the internal affairs of the Dan Ge now entangled him, forcing him to temporarily stay and handle trivial matters.

Lu Yuan sat at his desk, organizing a procurement list.

He pondered his next plans, considering how to improve the refinement level of pills to raise the reputation of the Lei Huo Dan Ge even higher.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, Zi Cui Ling burst into the hall.

"Lu Yuan, you're back!"

Zi Cui Ling's voice held a hint of joy, but her eyes carried a trace of reproach.

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile, stood up, and said to Zi Cui Ling: 'Yes, I'm back.'

"Is there anything that needs my handling?"

Zi Cui Ling walked to Lu Yuan's side, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: 'Recently the Dan Ge's business has been alright, but some places need your personal attention, after all you are the master of the Dan Ge.'

Lu Yuan nodded, indicating understanding.

He knew Zi Cui Ling was thinking of the Dan Ge's development, so he wasn't angry; instead, he felt grateful.

He and Zi Cui Ling were not blood siblings, but after years of getting along, their rapport surpassed that of kin.

"Alright, I will handle these matters as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan said solemnly.

Zi Cui Ling's gaze toward Lu Yuan softened considerably; she knew he was a responsible person who would not easily shirk responsibility.

She lightly patted the back of Lu Yuan's hand and gently said: 'Handle it well; I believe you can do an excellent job.'

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, a warmth rising in his heart.

A demon beast riot erupted in the southern region of Dongyun Island, sweeping across the area as various major sects mobilized, attempting to suppress this wave of crisis.

As an inner disciple of the Dao Sect, Lu Yuan originally thought he could stay out of it, but Zi Cui Ling ordered all disciples to join the extermination mission, including him.

Dragged into this storm, Lu Yuan followed the team to the region where the demon beast tide was most violent.

As the team moved forward, Lu Yuan could sense a strong demonic qi permeating the air, an evil aura that made one's heart tremble.

He gripped his Lei Huo sword tightly, his gaze firm as he scanned the surroundings, ready to respond to any possible demon beast attack at any moment.

Zi Xi'er beside him tightly held his hand, her eyes showing worry and trust, as if silently telling Lu Yuan that no matter what happened, she would stay by his side.

"Lu Yuan, be careful; there may be a demon beast ambush ahead."

Zi Xi'er whispered the reminder.

Lu Yuan nodded without speaking, knowing he must remain vigilant at all times, for any carelessness could lead to disaster.

Suddenly, a piercing howl rang out; a tall, ferocious demon beast charged out of the thicket, spewing flames from its mouth, its eyes full of ferocity and bloodlust.

"Here it comes!"

Lu Yuan let out a low shout and rushed toward that ferocious demon beast.

He was agile and nimble, dodging the beast's fierce attacks while swinging his Lei Huo sword to launch an offense.

Zi Xi'er turned into a fleeting dark light, swiftly moving around the demon beast, continuously releasing ice-based immortal arts to freeze it.

Thanks to their seamless cooperation, they finally managed to repel that ferocious demon beast, but more demon beasts had been stirred up around them and came charging.

"We must break out quickly!"

Zi Xi'er stared intently at the surrounding demon beasts, her expression grave as she said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded, and they began to swiftly weave through the demon beast horde, slashing all the way and continuously charging forward.

In this life-and-death battle, their seamless cooperation became even more seamless, tight without gaps.

Suddenly, a massive, violent demon beast appeared before them, roaring as it charged.

Faced with such a huge threat, Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er tacitly released powerful spells simultaneously, forming a light curtain before them.

With a crack, the light curtain shattered under the violent demon beast's attack, the tremendous impact forcing them to retreat several steps.

"This demon beast's power is extraordinarily strong!"

Zi Xi'er frowned, her expression grave.

Lu Yuan drew a deep breath; he knew now was the time to decide victory or defeat.

He focused his mind, activating the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper formation; his body emitted powerful energy waves, and the Thunderfire Sword rose with blazing flames.

"Together, a desperate strike!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and together with Zi Xi'er launched an attack.

Their spells intertwined, forming a scorching column of light that blasted straight at the frenzied demon beast.

In an instant, the demon beast let out an earth-shaking howl, its body began to disintegrate, finally turning into a pile of black ash.

After Lu Yuan and Zi Xi'er successfully repelled the frenzied demon beast, a hint of fatigue welled up in their hearts.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing determination and resolve.

"We need to break out quickly; the demon beasts here are growing more numerous."

Lu Yuan spoke softly, gripping the Thunderfire Sword, preparing to face the next wave of challenges. (End of chapter)
