Chapter 1019: Huo Lin'er's Core Formation
Chapter 1019: Huo Lin'er's Core Formation
"That's good. Focus wholeheartedly on Spirit Plants and Spirit Brews, and there's no need to take risks exploring Mystic Realms and seeking opportunities."
Yuan Rong nodded in agreement.
"With your expertise in Spirit Plants and Spirit Brews, you can already contribute greatly to the Sword Sect. Given your current cultivation level and the resources at your disposal, the chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm are not small."
"At that time, you can stay in the Sword Sect with peace of mind, without worrying about the troubles of the outside world."
"Although you may not have many protective treasures, and your cultivation in Mystic Techniques may be neglected, how many Nascent Souls can live to a peaceful end?"
"Your choice, Junior Brother, is a trade-off."
Yuan Rong subconsciously agreed with Lu Xuan's lifestyle-oriented approach, after all, in her opinion, the vast majority of cultivators spend their entire lives without reaching the pinnacle in a single cultivation art, yet Lu Xuan had already achieved Mastery in Spirit Plants, Spirit Brews, and Talisman Crafting. It was impossible for him to have the time and focus to cultivate Mystic Techniques and seek out treasures.
"Senior Brother's words are reasonable, and I have the same thoughts."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Although he had already mastered several Seventh Stage Treasures and was proficient in several intermediate-level Mystic Techniques, it didn't change the fact that he was a lifestyle-oriented cultivator.
"Here are twenty-four thousand two hundred and fifty Sword Seals, Junior Brother, take a look."
Yuan Rong waved her hand, and a large number of Sword Seals piled up into a small mountain, floating towards Lu Xuan.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense swept over them, and he bowed in gratitude.
With such a large number of Sword Seals, he could go on a shopping spree within the Sword Sect, even buying two Sixth Rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds wouldn't be a problem.
"Right, Senior Brother Yuan, I have something I'd like to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"I'm thinking of opening a small shop outside the sect. What conditions do I need to meet?"
Lu Xuan asked quietly.
"Opening a shop? Why would you have such an idea, Junior Brother?"
A look of curiosity appeared on Yuan Rong's face.
"I have plenty of free time, and I want to sell some of the Spirit Plants I've cultivated, as well as Sword Talismans and Spirit Brews. I don't want to waste additional time, so I thought of opening a small shop and letting a trusted person manage it."
Lu Xuan explained, partly truthfully and partly in jest.
"Opening a shop isn't difficult. Outside the Sword Sect, there are three cities: Sword Yuan, Sword Star, and Sword Abyss, where many Sword Sect disciples have various businesses."
"Junior Brother, just go to the Sword Palace and inform the relevant fellow disciples. With your status in the True Sword Peak, they will help you with the necessary procedures as quickly as possible."
After hearing this, Lu Xuan asked Yuan Rong for advice on things to keep in mind.
"Alright, Junior Brother Lu, it's time to part ways."
"When your shop opens, remember to notify me, and I'll come to show my support."
Yuan Rong left with a final remark and hurriedly departed.
Lu Xuan watched her figure disappear completely.
Following Yuan Rong's instructions, he entered the Sword Palace and completed the necessary procedures.
Due to the Sword Sect's strict requirements in this regard, the process was extremely tedious, but Lu Xuan was patient and not in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
In the cave mansion, countless dense wood spirits gathered, and the energy within the Little Tree Maiden's body continued to rise.
"She's successfully broken through."
Lu Xuan felt delighted as he sensed the changes in the Tree Maiden.
After soothing her briefly, his gaze fell on the quietly appearing white Radiant Orb.
He reached out and gently touched it.
[The Tree Maiden successfully advanced to a Fifth Stage Spirit Monster, and obtained a Sixth Rank Treasure—the Thousand-Year Tree Heart.]
A section of ancient, mottled wood appeared before Lu Xuan—the very same Thousand-Year Tree Heart that had once allowed the Grass Puppet to evolve.
The essence extracted from the ancient millennium tree was highly beneficial to Wood-attributed spirit beasts and spirit monsters, and it could also be used as the core for high-level puppets or refined into Wood-attributed magical tools.
"It can indeed serve as a precious treasure for the grand opening of the shop."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
When the shop officially opened, in addition to the unique products like spirit plants, spirit brews, and sword talismans, he planned to select a few more exceptional treasures to make a grand debut.
"There are still seven Little Tree Maidens who haven't broken through, so I'll be able to obtain seven high-grade treasures."
He gazed at the Little Tree Maidens flying around in the Spirit Fields of Swordgrass, a smile appearing on his face.
Less than half a month after the Little Tree Maidens broke through, an unexpected guest arrived at the cave mansion.
"Senior Brother Huo, congratulations!"
The visitor was none other than Huo Lin'er, the former true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Previously, when he attempted to break through to the Core Formation stage, he not only failed unexpectedly but also inadvertently damaged his foundation. It took him a long time to recover.
After one failure, when attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage again, he needed to be more prepared in terms of his physical condition, mentality, and various resources compared to the previous attempt.
He finally regained his confidence and, with the help of a Fifth-grade Holy Infant Pill given by Lu Xuan, successfully broke through to the Core Formation stage!
"Junior Brother Lu, thank you so much for the Holy Infant Pill."
Huo Lin'er bowed deeply, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Senior Brother, there's no need to thank me. We are both from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and you took good care of me back then. It's only right for me to repay you a little now."
Lu Xuan lifted his hands and pulled Huo Lin'er up from a distance.
"In the future, if there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. I'll face the Sword Mountain Fire Sea without hesitation!"
Huo Lin'er spoke earnestly, emphasizing his words.
He knew that Lu Xuan had played a significant role in his successful breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.
As a true disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect, he naturally had a large amount of resources at his disposal. However, after joining the Cave Profound Sword Sect, his talents paled in comparison to the countless talented cultivators there. As a result, he could only become an ordinary outer sect disciple.
After spending almost all his resources on attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage and failing, he nearly lost all motivation.
Fortunately, after adjusting his mindset and with the help of the Core Formation pill given by Lu Xuan, he was able to successfully break through for the second time.
Among these factors, the Holy Infant Pill played a crucial role.
This Fifth-grade pill was extremely rare and far exceeded the friendship they had during their time in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Senior Brother, you're exaggerating. I've been in the sect for many years, how could I possibly put you in a risky situation?"
Lu Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Junior Brother Lu, if I can't repay your kindness for giving me the pill, I'll feel uneasy for the rest of my life."
Huo Lin'er said solemnly.
"In that case, how about this."
Lu Xuan's thoughts turned.
"Senior Brother, there's no need to think about facing the Sword Mountain Fire Sea. You know that I'm obsessed with various rare spirit plants. If you have the chance to find one of those spirit seeds, please collect it for me."
He said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Huo Lin'er nodded firmly, remembering Lu Xuan's words.
"By the way, Junior Brother Lu, I came here not only to express my gratitude but also to invite you to a banquet I'm hosting three days from now."
"At that time, I'll also invite Senior Brother Ge and Senior Apprentice Sister Jian Wuxia, our fellow sect members, so we can have a good reunion."
Huo Lin'er smiled, his words and demeanor exuding more confidence than before.
"Sure, I'll definitely be there on time to celebrate for Senior Brother Huo."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
