Chapter 1066: This Thunder Beast is Amazing!
"Brother Lu, you're too modest. To achieve such mastery in the art of spirit plant cultivation, it's not just a matter of obsession."
In the quiet courtyard, Yao Qingyue casually found a spot to sit down and smiled as he spoke.
"This is a new Fifth Rank Spirit Brew brewed by Lu. It's called Heart Flame Wine, which can strengthen one's vitality and enhance physical strength. Please try it, Brother Yao."
Lu Xuan poured a full cup of Heart Flame Wine, with faint pure white flames dancing on its surface, for Yao Qingyue.
"I've heard of your renowned Spirit Brew, and today I finally get to taste this new variety."
Yao Qingyue took a big sip and closed his eyes to savor the wine.
"It's excellent! The strength is fierce and domineering, and it feels like a gentle burn throughout the body. Truly worthy of a Fifth Rank Spirit Brew."
He praised aloud.
The three of them chatted about various matters in the cultivation world. Wood Daoist seemed a bit restrained in front of Liyang Daozi, only occasionally joining the conversation.
"Brother Lu, with your abundant spiritual power and harmonious aura, have you already reached the Perfect Core Formation Realm?"
After chatting for a while, Yao Qingyue couldn't help but ask.
He remembered that when he first met Lu Xuan while searching for the guardian beast for his sect, Lu Xuan was at the Middle Core Formation stage. But when they met again in Liyang Dao Sect, Lu Xuan had already reached the Late Core Formation stage.
Three to four decades later, he was already at the Perfect Core Formation stage, just like him!
Such a rapid improvement in cultivation was extremely rare, even within the Liyang Dao Sect, and it sparked intense curiosity in Yao Qingyue.
"I've just entered the Perfect Core Formation Realm, and there's still a considerable gap compared to Brother Yao, who has been preparing for Primordial Spirit Ascension for many years."
"The reason for my rapid progress is that I've skipped many cultivation techniques and methods, as well as the time spent searching for opportunities and treasures. Additionally, the senior elders of the Sword Sect bestowed upon me some treasures that enhance cultivation, which led to my current realm."
Lu Xuan explained, mixing truth with fiction.
"I see."
Yao Qingyue suddenly understood. He calculated the time of the Sword Peak Competition and further confirmed that Lu Xuan had achieved exceptional results during the competition, earning him numerous treasure rewards.
The two of them stayed for less than half a day before leaving one after the other.
Lu Xuan watched their figures disappear into the boundless thunderous light and then turned to enter the spirit field.
During this time when he was away at the Abyss Star Grotto, the various spirit plants in the field had grown well.
He took a quick look around and then went to the spirit field where the Crimson Flame Persimmon was located.
"There are four fully ripe Crimson Flame Persimmons."
After examining the remaining sixteen spirit fruits one by one, Lu Xuan smiled with joy and carefully picked the four fiery red spirit fruits.
Four faint light orbs appeared, gently flickering, as if inviting Lu Xuan to touch them.
Four slender streams of light flowed into his body.
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Crimson Flame Persimmon, obtained a Sixth Rank Treasure, Celestial Flame Essence.]
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Crimson Flame Persimmon, obtained a Sixth Rank Magical Tool, Primordial Fire Cloud Needle (3/12).]
...
"Two Celestial Flame Essences and two Primordial Fire Cloud Needles."
Lu Xuan looked at the two strange flames with abundant spiritual energy and the two red threads rapidly swirling around him, speaking softly.
So far, nine out of the twenty-one Crimson Flame Persimmons had ripened, yielding five Celestial Flame Essences and four Primordial Fire Cloud Needles.
"The complete Primordial Fire Cloud Needle set consists of twelve spirit needles, and I still need eight more to complete the set."
Lu Xuan's heart stirred, and the four slender red threads seemed to respond to each other with a mysterious connection.
He put away the Crimson Flame Persimmons and the treasures that appeared from the light orbs, and began to nurture the various spirit plants in the field.
"Now that I'm back, I should pay a visit to Senior Green Horn Thunder Beast."
"I'll also collect some Emerald Thunder Essence and help Senior Thunder Beast clean up the Thunder Death Crystals.
After cultivating for a while, Lu Xuan had something on his mind.
He instructed the Grass Puppet and Thunder Ghost to guard the Daoist Mansion before leaving under the cover of the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf.
On his return, all the cultivators treated him with warmth and kindness, some even fawning over him. But Lu Xuan was well aware that this was merely a public display of respect for his status as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sword Sect.
Deep down, some might harbor intense greed and jealousy.
To outsiders, Lu Xuan seemed incredibly lucky, having joined the Cave Profound Sword Sect due to his exceptional Spirit Plant cultivation skills. In reality, his actual combat strength was far inferior to that of his peers.
With his weak strength and the valuable treasures bestowed by the Sword Sect's Primordial Spirit, Lu Xuan was a desirable target for many.
If they knew about his venture into the depths of the Thunder Sea, their greed would multiply, possibly leading to open hostility and attempts to rob and kill him.
Although Lu Xuan was confident in his ability to easily eliminate those with malicious intentions, he preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble and maintain a low profile.
As he approached the Thunder Beast's territory, Lu Xuan emitted a Thunder Beast roar.
After a few dozen breaths, the Variant Thunder Roar Beast that had once guided him through the Thunderstorm appeared before him.
The moment it saw Lu Xuan, the silver-white pointed horn on its head glowed brighter with thunderous light, indicating its extreme excitement.
"Here, have some treats."
Lu Xuan tossed three silver-white lotus seeds to the beast.
Then, man and beast passed through layer upon layer of thunderous restrictions and entered the Thunder Beast's territory.
Above them, numerous tadpole-shaped giant thunder spheres swam, occasionally flashing with silver-white thunderbolts.
As soon as Lu Xuan stepped in, he heard low rumbling thunder in his ears.
A Green Horn Thunder Beast, resembling a small mountain, strode towards Lu Xuan with its sturdy single foot.
With each step, it could easily cover over a hundred zhang, and where its foot landed, thunderous light rippled like water waves.
"Lu Xiao, you're finally here to visit this old fellow?"
The Green Horn Thunder Beast grumbled, its voice like thunder claps in Lu Xuan's ears.
"Senior, I've just returned from the Sword Sect not long ago. After taking care of some trivial matters, I came to visit you," Lu Xuan replied, leaping onto the back of the Seventh Rank Ancient Beast.
He probed its body with his consciousness, carefully identifying and extracting the Thunder Death Crystals that had merged with the Thunder Beast's body.
"You little fellow, you still have some conscience left," the Green Horn Thunder Beast grunted, lying on the ground.
"After all these years, you've quietly reached Perfect Foundation Establishment without a word."
"It seems your chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Realm are even greater than I imagined."
The Green Horn Thunder Beast sighed softly.
During their previous meeting, it had asked Lu Xuan to take care of the remaining Thunder Beast Clan after its death.
Now, seeing Lu Xuan's current cultivation level, it felt much more confident.
"Regarding my previous promise, I will definitely fulfill it. But I have a request, Senior. If I break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, would you be willing to accompany me to the habitat I've prepared?"
Lu Xuan mustered his courage and asked.
"What do you want me, a dying beast, for? Do you think I'm full of treasures?"
The Green Horn Thunder Beast feigned anger, exhaling deeply, and a ball of thunder light shot out from its mouth.
"Why would I think that, Senior?"
"I possess an Incomplete Cavern World, which should be more than enough for the Thunder Beast Clan to survive."
Lu Xuan smiled.
In his eyes, the Green Horn Thunder Beast's strength far surpassed that of its peers, and it possessed extraordinary thunder techniques...
Who said this Thunder Beast was old?
This Thunder Beast was amazing!
