Chapter 1073: Fire God Ape
"Hosting a banquet for your friend, Senior?"
Lu Xuan was taken aback.
The old sword shark before him seemed like an ancient monster in his eyes, so what kind of divine existence could its friend be?
"It's just an old monkey that has lived for thousands of years, no need to be nervous."
The old sword shark spoke slowly.
"Thousands of years... that's all?"
Lu Xuan was secretly astonished.
"That old fellow is named Fire God Ape, the guardian divine beast of the Fire God Palace. I've known him for many years, and we've had a life-and-death friendship. It's rare to see him."
"This time, he has business near the Sword Sect, so he's dropping by to see me."
The old sword shark muttered.
"What cultivation realm is Senior Fire God Ape in?"
Lu Xuan plucked up the courage to ask.
"An eighth-stage demon beast, but he's been in that realm for nearly two thousand years, accumulating terrifying power. His strength should surpass that of most late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Junior here is willing to host that senior, but I'm afraid I might not be able to satisfy Senior Fire God Ape."
"That old fellow will stay for a few days. Initially, the Sword Sect and Jian Hanyan will take care of him, but later when I gather with him, you can arrange it."
"The old monkey likes spirit brews and spirit fruits. I heard you can brew several types of high-grade spirit brews and are also a Spirit Plant Master. Hosting the old monkey shouldn't be a problem."
The old sword shark chuckled lightly, and the sway of his silver-white beard increased.
"Alright, then I'll take responsibility for hosting him. I'll provide the best quality spirit fruits and brews for that senior."
Lu Xuan nodded without hesitation.
The old sword shark had given him the Void Embryo Immortal Vine, so naturally, he had to satisfy the other party's request.
According to him, the so-called Fire God Ape was an existence on the same level as him. If he could please the other party, he might gain some fortuitous opportunity or treasure.
Lu Xuan had four types of fifth-grade spirit brews and plenty of fifth-grade spirit fruits in his possession, so hosting a small banquet for two old demon beasts wouldn't be a problem.
He asked about the Fire God Ape's preferences again before bidding farewell to the old sword shark and returning to his Daoist mansion.
During this time, he also made a trip to the Heart Sword Lake estate given by True Sword Master, where he took out the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass seeds that were being nurtured in the Profound Sword Sheath. He examined them one by one.
After a round of selection, the possibility of these seeds mutating was already low, and among the more than twenty silver-white seeds, not a single mutated seed appeared.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to draw out the numerous flying swords he had inserted into the sword sheath during his spare time, and once again placed the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass seeds into the ancient sword sheath that was never satisfied.
"Even the small ones will do for now. I'll find you a great sword when I nurture a few more mutated seeds."
Lu Xuan promised the Profound Sword Sheath, and seeing its excitement, he nodded and left Heart Sword Lake.
Outside the Sword Sect.
Several streams of fiery red light streaked across the sky, stopping ten li away from the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Formation.
There, three Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Sword Sect were waiting.
"Greetings, Senior Fire God Ape! Elder Yan! Fellow Daoists!"
The fiery red figure stopped, and five figures appeared before the three Sword Sect Nascent Souls.
The leader was a tall, red-faced elder. With each breath, one could vaguely sense the exhalation of scorching hot air. His aura was like a deep ocean, and he was none other than Elder Yan Liuquan of the Fire God Palace, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Among the other four, two were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and the remaining two were younger, only a step away from Nascent Soul. They were probably the rising stars of the Fire God Palace.
In the middle was a monkey-like ape, about the height of a person, entirely red, as if a divine flame was quietly burning, ready to unleash an incredibly powerful fire spirit at any moment.
Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been many years since we last met, and your bearing is even more impressive now."
"The reason we came to the Sword Sect this time is solely to let the Fire God Ape Senior meet his old friend, the Ancient Swordshark. A simple greeting will suffice."
Yan Liuquan smiled as he spoke.
"Haha, Elder Yan, you're too kind. The Sword Sect has already prepared a banquet to welcome the Fire God Ape and all of you."
A middle-aged man with a refined and elegant demeanor smiled and said.
The Fire God Ape stood casually to the side, occasionally sticking his fingers into his ears and fiddling with them.
Seeing the two still exchanging polite pleasantries, a hint of impatience appeared on his face.
"Hurry up and take me to see that old snake! I want to see how much longer it has left to live!"
The Fire God Ape interrupted, his voice loud and clear.
The group fell silent for a moment.
Yan Liuquan gave an awkward smile, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please forgive the Fire God Ape Senior. He has always been straightforward, but he actually has a very good relationship with the Ancient Swordshark."
"I understand, Elder Yan, there's no need to worry," the elegant cultivator replied with a smile, well aware of the Fire God Ape's temperament.
The group entered a majestic palace within the Sword Palace.
Inside the palace, the decorations were extremely luxurious, with various spirit brews and spirit fruits everywhere. Over a dozen Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were patiently waiting.
In the center, the Ancient Swordshark's body had shrunk countless times, and he was sitting cross-legged on a white jade table.
"The old fellow hasn't kicked the bucket yet? Then I've wasted my trip here?"
The Fire God Ape grinned, and in an instant, he appeared beside the Ancient Swordshark.
"If I haven't collected your corpse yet, how can you bear to leave so soon?" the Ancient Swordshark said lightly as he savored a cup of Zhen Jian Essence on the table.
Yan Liuquan and the others then entered the hall and greeted the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
"Elder Yan, if you like it, you can take a few bottles with you when you leave," the elegant cultivator said with a smile.
With Lu Xuan's continuous supply of Zhen Jian Essence, this Fifth Rank Spirit Brew was still precious, but its acquisition difficulty had decreased significantly.
"Great! Then I'll have to thank Fellow Daoist Xu," Yan Liuquan quickly expressed his gratitude.
"This Zhen Jian Essence is quite good. The power is sufficient, and it's excellent for mouthwash," the Fire God Ape said casually as he and the Ancient Swordshark occupied one side of the hall, drinking a full cup of Zhen Jian Essence.
"However, do you usually eat so simply in the Sword Sect? Judging by this, you probably won't live much longer."
A mocking smile appeared on the Fire God Ape's face.
"This is just an ordinary banquet. It's not something that can be served in the Sword Sect," the Ancient Swordshark retorted.
"Since we're old acquaintances, tomorrow I'll take you to a special feast and show you, an old fellow from the rural areas, what true sect grandeur is," the Ancient Swordshark said, a bit of sarcasm in his voice as he was provoked by his old friend.
"Then I'll wait and see. If it doesn't satisfy me, hehe..."
A sly smile appeared on the Fire God Ape's face.
"After you kick the bucket, I'll come frolic at your grave a hundred years, a thousand years from now."
