240: Bonfire Party

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Six-Star Martial Ancestor.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was greatly astonished.

“I remember when you left the Cangxuan Sect, you were only a Six-Star Martial Emperor. In just these few months, you’ve advanced ten minor Realms! That’s too monstrous!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Because I am the War God; I can grow stronger in battle. During my trip to Demon-Rejecting Pass, I faced life-and-death crises several times, which stimulated my body’s potential, so my strength improved very quickly.”

Gu Chen nodded slightly, “That’s not strange, that’s not strange at all. I’ve cultivated assiduously for half my life, yet I’ve only barely reached the Seventh-Star Martial Ancestor Realm. Lu Xingchen, how about we spar sometime? I’d like to see what kind of demeanor the Human Race War God truly possesses!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Sure. I haven’t made a move since I broke through to the Martial Ancestor Realm. It’d be good to spar with the Sect Master and familiarize myself with my power.”

Gu Chen said with a smile, “Let’s talk about it after the bonfire party tomorrow. It will also let the Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect witness the War God’s demeanor.”

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, “Alright.”

Gu Chen then continued, “By the way, what are your plans for the future? Are you still going to the Central Continent?”

Lu Xingchen softly said, “As for me, I plan to go to the Demon Domain first to support my partner, the Nether Dragon, and then Cultivate at the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters in the Central Continent.”

Lu Xingchen didn't tell the truth.

He was indeed going to the Central Continent, but he wouldn't join the Righteous Path Alliance; instead, he was going to fulfill the agreement with his teacher, Jiang Taishen.

It was entirely thanks to the “Word Spirit Introduction Tutorial” and “Analysis of Commonly Used Word Spirits” given by his teacher that he was able to accomplish the feat of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin and defeat Two Saints of Gold and Silver.

In his heart, he held even greater reverence for this Word Spirit Power, and even more curiosity about his teacher.

Gu Chen smiled and nodded, “That’s good. With the Righteous Path Alliance providing you with resources, your strength will definitely improve rapidly. Soon, I won’t be able to catch up to you.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “In that case, we’ll head back to rest first.”

Gu Chen nodded slightly, “Alright.”

After bidding farewell to Gu Chen, everyone walked out of the room.

Yun Li said with a smile, “Wanqing, you’ve been Cultivating at the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters all this time, your life must be very dull and boring, right? Now that you’ve finally gotten out, I’ll take you around the Cangxuan Sect to see the sights.”

Lin Wanqing softly said, “Okay, thank you, Elder Sister Yun Li! I was already tired of staying at the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters.”

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile, “Ladies, if you both go out to play, then who will accompany me?”

Yun Li coldly said, “Do whatever you want, no one is managing you.”

Lin Wanqing also nodded repeatedly, “Exactly! Big Strong One, you’re a big man, you can always find something to do. Why do you want to stick with us two women?”

“Ah, this…” Lu Xingchen was Wordless.

Lin Wanqing and Yun Li left hand-in-hand, not even sparing Lu Xingchen a glance.

Mu Chun, who was nearby, couldn’t help but laugh at Lu Xingchen’s predicament.

Perhaps this was the trouble of having two Dao Companions.

However, his expression management was very good; his face was solemn, without a hint of a smile.

Lu Xingchen could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Before, when there was only one girl by his side, although they rarely kissed and hugged, at least they could hold hands.

Now, it’s good; the two girls have become like sisters, playing together all day, but they’ve left him out in the cold instead.

It had been a long time since he’d indulged, and Lu Xingchen was truly itching with impatience.

But it didn’t matter. After taking the two girls home to see his father, Lin Wanqing would likely return to the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters to Cultivate.

At that time, he would be able to do some interesting things with Miss Yun Li.

He was quite looking forward to it!

As the two girls gradually walked away, Lu Xingchen returned to his Immortal Cave.

Opening the System Mall, he spent ten million exchange points to purchase a low-grade heaven rank Medicine Cauldron named the primal chaos cauldron (alchemy artifact).

His original Medicine Cauldron wasn't unusable, but since he had money, there was no harm in getting one of higher quality.

What’s more, the higher the quality of the Medicine Cauldron, the higher the success rate and quality of the Medicinal Pills refined.

Having reaped the lives of thousands of Demon Race soldiers at Demon-Rejecting Pass with Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, Lu Xingchen had suddenly become rich and didn't mind this small amount of money.

Placing the primal chaos cauldron (alchemy artifact) on the ground, Lu Xingchen summoned his Fused Spirit Fire and began refining the poji pill.

He was going home soon and wanted to bring a gift for his father.

Since he had the Pill Formula for the poji pill, it was undoubtedly the most cost-effective gift, and it would greatly benefit his father's Realm advancement.

Additionally, in the intervals between his campaigns, Lu Xingchen hadn’t forgotten to refine Medicinal Pills. His Alchemist profession experience had been accumulating, and he was not far from leveling up.

He wanted to make a final push to see if he could Break through to a Seventh-Grade Alchemist in a short period.

Thus, Lu Xingchen secluded himself in his Immortal Cave, tirelessly refining Medicinal Pills.

With the primal chaos cauldron (alchemy artifact), his Spirit Realm Middle Stage Soul, and the Fused Spirit Fire all contributing, his speed in refining Medicinal Pills was astonishingly fast.

It only took him a quarter of an hour to refine one poji pill.

By sunset the next day, Lu Xingchen had successfully broken through to a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, and he had over a hundred poji pills in his hand.

After tidying up his things, he headed to the Sect Plaza to attend the bonfire party.

In the Plaza, bonfires were set up, their orange-yellow flames illuminating the faces of the Cangxuan Sect members.

Roast meat was plentiful, and fine wine flowed freely; the combined aroma made Lu Xingchen's appetite surge.

The Elders and Disciples mingled together, chatting and laughing.

The Disciples who had returned safely from Demon-Rejecting Pass became the center of the party.

They drank wine and recounted the scenery of Demon-Rejecting Pass, the appearance of the Demon Race, and the life-and-death battles they had fought.

The surrounding Disciples and Elders listened with awe and respect, immensely curious about their experiences.

Lu Xingchen had no habit of showing off. He quietly found a bonfire at the edge of the Plaza, cut a piece of meat from a roasted suckling pig, and savored it.

After a while, Long Yang came over with a wine cup.

He patted Lu Xingchen’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Xingchen, why are you hiding in the corner? I’ve been looking for you so hard!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “I just want to eat and drink my fill; I have no intention of showing off.”

Long Yang grinned, “That’s not up to you. The center of everyone’s discussion is War God His Excellency. Soon, a large crowd will come to toast you, and you won’t even be able to rest.”

Lu Xingchen gave a wry smile, “Then what can I do? We’ll deal with what happens later, later. I need to fill my stomach first.”

Long Yang laughed loudly, “Hahaha! You’re truly Lu Xingchen; you don’t put on any airs as War God His Excellency. To thank you for saving my life, this first cup of wine will be from me!”

Lu Xingchen clinked cups with Long Yang and said in a deep voice, “Big Brother Long Yang, you lost an arm; will it affect your life and combat?”
