Chapter 1007: Evergreen Emperor's Life Leaf
He could have stayed in the Tree Realm, waiting for the Profound Apex Tree Mother's rewards and gratitude from the numerous plant demons. But if he left and Guo Bingqiu and the others couldn't find him, it would be difficult to explain his absence later.
Moreover, if the Primordial Soul True Monarchs in the Tree Realm found out, they might suspect him.
It was better to go with the flow and wait for this commotion to subside before re-entering the Tree Realm to claim his rewards.
Upon exiting the Tree Realm, Lu Xuan surveyed his surroundings.
The area was the unique woodland environment of Azurewood Star Cave, but the vegetal spirit energy was not even a tenth of what it was inside the Tree Realm.
He scanned the area with his spirit perception and found over ten Core Formation Cultivators nearby, all gazing into the depths of the forest, discussing animatedly.
"Damn it! I had just spotted a fifth-grade spirit herb, but before I could harvest it, I was mysteriously transported here for no reason."
"Who isn't in the same boat? I exerted so much effort to subdue a rare plant demon, but before I could capture it into my Spirit Beast Sack, I had to watch it remain in the Tree Realm right before my eyes."
"Compared to you all, I was a little better off. I was in the midst of a fierce battle with a spirit being, and just as I was about to be defeated, I suddenly found myself outside the Tree Realm."
An elderly, tall, and thin man spoke with a relaxed expression.
Lu Xuan took out a messaging talisman and quickly learned of Guo Bingqiu's location.
In less than half a breath, the six loose cultivators who had come from Thunder Star Cave gathered together.
"Landuo, I'm glad you're safe. I heard you were trapped in a sealed barrier, and I was worried you might not have been released," Guo Bingqiu said with a smile, expressing his concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Landuo. I went through a lot of trouble to escape that sealed barrier. I was just about to contact you to search for treasures, hunt spirit beings, and cultivate spirit plants together, but then I suddenly appeared outside the Tree Realm," Lu Xuan casually lied.
"The other cultivators are in a similar situation. It happened so suddenly that we didn't have time to prepare."
"Alas, we're just too unlucky. So many cultivators explored the Tree Realm before us without any issues, but we've been here for less than a day, and we were directly expelled without obtaining any treasures."
A Core Formation youth sighed lightly.
Lu Xuan remained silent, suppressing the urge to reveal that the culprit was right in front of him.
"It's already impressive to have survived in the Tree Realm."
Ye Xuan Yin spoke calmly.
"Ye Dao's words are reasonable," Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
"The spirit beings in the Tree Realm have managed to survive in the Celestial Star Cave's blessed land for so long, which is extraordinary. For us loose cultivators to come out alive is already quite impressive."
"Are you all returning to Thunder Star Cave?"
Lei Zheng asked.
"I want to stay here and see if there will be any new developments."
Guo Bingqiu pointed to the location of a Primordial Soul True Monarch nearby.
Since a Primordial Soul True Monarch was still present, it meant there might be a chance for things to change, and he was willing to wait and see.
"I'll stay as well."
Ye Xuan Yin spoke softly, his eyes glancing into the depths of the forest with a hint of longing.
In the end, two of the six decided to return to Thunder Star Cave, while three remained in the boundless forest.
"Landuo, what are your plans?"
Guo Bingqiu asked, scratching his head.
"I'm going to visit a friend I've known for many years."
"It's Jade Grove Recluse from Azurewood Star Cave. She's also proficient in spirit plant cultivation. I haven't visited her since returning from the Mystic Void World, so this is a good opportunity to exchange cultivation experiences with her."
Lu Xuan spoke sincerely.
What he said was true; he did intend to visit Jade Grove Recluse, but what he would do afterward was another matter.
"Alright."
With that, the six of them went their separate ways.
Lu Xuan, well-versed in his path, arrived at Jade Grove Recluse's Mystic Mansion. At her enthusiastic invitation, he engaged in a lively exchange of cultivation insights with several Spirit Herb Masters residing within the Azurewood Star Cave.
Lu Xuan had acquired an immense amount of knowledge about spirit plants from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Sea Pavilion Commerce Guild, and Cave Profound Sword Sect. His hands-on experience in cultivating countless rare spirit plants gave him a level of understanding that far surpassed the others.
His casual remarks often sparked moments of enlightenment for those present, as if clouds parting to reveal the full moon.
The Spirit Herb Masters in attendance were also highly skilled in their craft, and Lu Xuan learned a great deal from them as well.
After nearly three days of in-depth discussions, Lu Xuan bid farewell to the group, who reluctantly watched him depart.
"Friend Lu, we are deeply grateful for your teachings during this exchange. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge has been a great benefit to us all."
Jade Grove Recluse spoke with a bow, his expression filled with respect and admiration for Lu Xuan's ability to impart such extensive knowledge about spirit plants.
"Friend Jade Grove, I look forward to returning from Cave Profound Sword Sect and seeking further guidance from all of you."
Lu Xuan politely returned the gesture.
Upon hearing his words, the group couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth on their faces.
They were well aware of their own expertise in spirit plant cultivation, but Lu Xuan's words still made them feel a bit embarrassed, even with their steadfast determination.
After bidding farewell to Jade Grove Recluse and the others, Lu Xuan mounted his flying sword and soared into the boundless forest.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
In no time, the familiar chirping of the Little Tree Maiden filled his ears, carrying a mix of intense longing and boundless joy.
Lu Xuan turned to see the Little Tree Maiden fluttering her delicate wings, as thin as a cicada's, as she emerged from a giant tree that would take three people to encircle with their arms.
"Take me to see the Tree Mother, please."
Lu Xuan scanned the surroundings with his spirit perception, ensuring no cultivators were nearby, then gently tapped the Little Tree Maiden's snowy forehead with his finger.
As he entered the giant tree, the scenery at his side instantly blurred. Countless lines and images of varying depths flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in the central region of the Tree Realm.
"Junior Lu Xuan pays his respects to the Elder Tree Mother."
He greeted her with utmost courtesy.
The Profound Apex Tree Mother's branches, which hung down, rapidly extended to lift Lu Xuan.
"There's no need for such formality, young friend. You played a crucial role in sealing the gateway," she said gently, her voice seemingly capable of soothing all wounds of the body and soul.
"Elder, you flatter me. It was my duty," Lu Xuan replied humbly.
With the Seventh Stage Wood-type Treasured Artifact within his grasp, Lu Xuan maintained a low profile.
"Young friend, there's no need for such modesty. This Evergreen Emperor Life Leaf is the Seventh Stage Wood-type Treasure I promised you."
The Profound Apex Tree Mother retracted her long, arm-like branches and used her pale green spirit energy to deliver a lush green leaf to Lu Xuan.
The leaf was enormous, measuring about three feet in length and a foot in width, with a thickness of over an inch. At first glance, it resembled a polished piece of emerald jade, and even from a distance, one could sense an incredibly rich life force emanating from it.
"This Evergreen Emperor Life Leaf originates from the Primordial Spirit Root of the Evergreen Emperor Life Wood. This sacred tree can condense the Immortal Life Fruit, which grants cultivators an unending life force and extends their lifespan indefinitely."
"Although the leaf doesn't possess the same divine effects as the fruit, it is still a remarkable Seventh Stage Wood-type Treasure. The life force within it is incredibly pure and potent, capable of nourishing all things, including but not limited to incomplete treasures, severely injured beings near death, and withered spirit plants."
The gentle voice of the Profound Apex Tree Mother resonated in Lu Xuan's ears like celestial music.
