Chapter 1015: The Yellow Millet Tree's Maturity
Chapter 1015: The Yellow Millet Tree's Maturity
"Master Lu, this... is too precious."
Bai Li Jian Qing struggled to tear his gaze away from the treasures before him and spoke softly.
"Take it, take it. Don't be so polite with me, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan feigned anger.
"Alright, then many thanks, Master Lu."
Bai Li Jian Qing had been waiting for these words, and with a mischievous smile, he accepted the five treasures.
In his heart, he was filled with endless gratitude.
He had lived in the Nebula Realm for nearly a century before finally breaking through to the Mid Foundation Establishment stage. He had accumulated a few Fourth-grade treasures during this time.
But the items Lu Xuan presented were...
A Fifth-grade Primordial Spirit Ginseng, capable of significantly enhancing his spiritual power. Once he fully absorbed and digested the spirit herb's medicinal power, he was confident he could break through to the Late Foundation Establishment stage within a short period.
Four Fifth-grade Sword Talismans, renowned for their lethal power. At the Fifth-grade, they were already within the realm of Core Formation. With these four talismans, even if he encountered a Core Formation True Man, he would have the strength to fight.
Each item was a rare and precious treasure to him, yet Lu Xuan casually offered five of them. How could he not be overwhelmed with gratitude?
"Alright, no need for such sentimentality. Focus on your cultivation and strive to break through to the Core Formation realm as soon as possible. That will be the greatest repayment to me."
Lu Xuan noticed the redness in Bai Li Jian Qing's elongated eyes and smiled as he spoke.
"Yes!"
Bai Li Jian Qing nodded vigorously.
"You probably don't have much left in the Nebula Realm, do you? If you do, I'll give you some time to prepare. At the latest, I'll be departing for the Cave Profound Sword Sect in half a month."
Lu Xuan said calmly.
"Most of my possessions are with me, except for a courtyard that isn't worth much in spirit stones."
Bai Li Jian Qing hurriedly explained.
Xiong Feng, who had accompanied him, was still in the Star Snatching Tower. Bai Li Jian Qing planned to give the courtyard and some of its contents to Xiong Feng as a reward for informing him about Lu Xuan's recruitment of cultivators.
"Senior Lu, the five Loose Cultivators have been settled."
While the two were chatting, Wen Qian quietly entered and spoke softly.
"Good, I trust your work."
Lu Xuan nodded.
"This is my Junior Brother, Wen Qian. He has been with me for many years, and in a while, he will accompany me to the Cave Profound Sword Sect. He will manage the new shop, and you will have many opportunities to interact with him in the future."
"This is my Junior Brother, Bai Li Jian Qing."
Lu Xuan introduced the two to each other.
"Wen, please take good care of him in the future."
"Bai Li, you're too kind. Of course, of course."
Wen Qian quickly replied, aware of Bai Li Jian Qing's importance to Lu Xuan. His words were filled with warmth and enthusiasm.
"Jian Qing, once you arrive at the Sword Sect, you'll be Wen Qian's assistant. Later on, I'll find a suitable position for you."
With a single sentence, Lu Xuan determined the future positions of the two.
After all, Wen Qian had been by his side for many years, honing his business skills and acquiring extensive knowledge of spirit plants. He had even managed to procure rare spirit plants like the Jade Paulownia for Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan couldn't afford to let him down.
"No problem, Master Lu."
Bai Li Jian Qing readily agreed without hesitation.
Being able to follow Lu Xuan and receive his protection was more than he could ask for. He dared not harbor any other thoughts.
"Alright, I'll return to my cave abode. You two should prepare quickly."
After giving his instructions, Lu Xuan transformed into a streak of silver-white light and vanished.
Thunder Star Cave.
He stood in the Spirit Fields, surveying his surroundings.
"This time, when I return to the Cave Profound Realm, I can bring some spirit plants in addition to the spirit beasts I promised, like the White Jade Heaven-reaching Ape and the fat bird."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
As his cultivation continued to rise and the Eightfold Palace in the incomplete Cave Heaven gradually blossomed, the focus of spirit plant cultivation would gradually shift to the incomplete Cave Heaven and the Cave Profound Sword Sect.
"Once I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and that Azure Dragon Wood matures, I won't need to come to the Celestial Star Cave frequently."
"As for fulfilling my obligations as a guest advisor for the Sea Pavilion Commerce Guild, I can find a branch of the guild in a nearby realm within the Mystic Void World."
According to his plan, once the Eightfold Palace fully matures, he will refine that Incomplete Treasure into a personal space, where he will cultivate those rare Seventh Stage Spirit Plants that are best kept out of sight.
As for the Cave Profound Sword Sect, it will mainly be used for cultivating Sword Grass and some relatively common Fifth and Sixth Stage Spirit Plants.
Of course, all of this is contingent on him breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Those seven Primordial Spirit Ginseng can definitely be taken there."
"Regarding Spirit Beasts, the Fat Bird, Lynxes, and White Ape have a deep connection with me. The last time I was here, I also promised them that I would bring them back to the Sword Sect."
"Additionally, the Thunder Dragon Hellhound, Blue Mountain Unicorn, Wind Listening Beast, and the eight soon-to-be-complete small Spirit Beasts can be taken as well."
"Hmm, take the Medicine Beast as well to help with pill concoction."
The Cave Profound Sword Sect has limited space, so it's impossible for Lu Xuan to bring back all the Spirit Beasts.
The Rock-Armored Turtle in the small lake, the Fiery Flame Crocodile, Green Horned Dragon Carp, Alligator Dragon, Demon Vine, and the Hundred-Poison Heart-Eating Worm will all remain in this Thunder Star Cave residence.
There's no need to mention the Grass Puppet and Thunder Demon Elder; Lu Xuan needs them to help guard the residence.
"I don't know when I'll come here next, so I might as well ripen that Sixth Rank Yellow Millet Tree to ease my mind."
Lu Xuan had a sudden whim.
The Yellow Millet Tree had been cultivated for many years, and according to his estimation, three or four drops of Primordial Tree Essence would be enough to ripen it.
Thinking about the abundant Radiant Orb rewards he could obtain from it, Lu Xuan couldn't contain his curiosity and decided to ripen the Yellow Millet Tree.
He focused his mind and stepped into the unique Illusionary Realm woven by the Yellow Millet Tree.
As soon as he entered, various scenes and sounds bombarded his eyes and ears.
Even if he closed his eyes and blocked his ears, they still appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
They were lifelike and vivid, as if happening right before Lu Xuan's eyes, and he might easily sink into them if he wasn't careful.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan had a firm will and had absorbed multiple experience packages from the 'Starry Sky Self-Cultivation Method', so his mind was unaffected by this special Illusionary Realm.
With a thought, a drop of Emerald Spirit Dew appeared before him and fell onto the vaguely real Spirit Tree.
In an instant, the Yellow Millet Tree, as if growing in another dimension, burst with life force, and dense Vegetal Spirit Energy wafted out. Lu Xuan's consciousness focused on it, and he could see the semi-transparent progress bar below gradually filling up.
The second drop, the third drop...
With three drops of the incredibly rare Primordial Tree Essence, the Illusionary Realm woven by the Yellow Millet Tree was almost indistinguishable from the real world.
Lu Xuan felt as if he were standing on a cobblestone street, jostled by a bustling crowd, the din of voices all around.
When he closed and opened his eyes, he found himself in a vast hall, surrounded by hundreds of extraordinary young men and women. On the stage, a thin, elderly man was calmly explaining a profound cultivation technique.
Even with his eyes wide open, if his mind wavered for a moment, new scenes would refresh in the blink of an eye, appearing right next to him before he could react.
The details of the scenes were crystal clear, and if not for his powerful Divine Soul, he might have truly believed he was in a real world.
"A Yellow Millet Dream."
Lu Xuan sighed softly, and the layers of scenes before his eyes receded like the ebbing tide, leaving only a solitary Spirit Tree.
