Chapter 1081: New Development
Upon seeing the White Ape's appearance, the Thunder Dragon Hound seemed to have second thoughts about backing down.
But the White Ape had already worked itself up, relentless and unyielding, as if it wanted to fight to the death.
"This White Ape..."
Lu Xuan shook his head, and with a thought, a five-colored ring descended from the sky, instantly immobilizing the White Ape.
The White Ape roared continuously, but under the restraint of the Seventh Stage Thunder Lock Bracelet, its body couldn't move an inch.
After a moment, the intense blood-red color in its eyes gradually faded, and its consciousness returned to clarity:
"Master... you've troubled yourself."
Its voice was hoarse as it turned and whispered to Lu Xuan.
"Keep practicing, what was that monkey hair I gave you for?"
"Refine it early, and your strength will rapidly increase. Then you'll be able to defeat the Thunder Dragon Hound."
Lu Xuan spoke with a tone of disappointment.
"Master is right."
The White Ape nodded in agreement.
Lu Xuan released the ring's restraint on the White Ape, and its body stumbled for a moment before standing upright again.
"While refining it, don't forget to condense a few more Heart Ape Fruit Spirit Seeds for me."
"The spirit brew made primarily from Heart Ape Fruit can please that terrifying existence in the Fire God Palace. Who knows what opportunities you might gain from it."
Lu Xuan encouraged.
As long as his subordinates didn't get seriously injured or lose their lives, he didn't mind this kind of internal strife among his spirit beasts.
The sooner the White Ape broke through, the better it would be for Lu Xuan.
After obtaining the Seventh Stage Thunder Lock Bracelet, Lu Xuan spent a considerable amount of time and energy refining this rare treasure while also cultivating spirit plants.
Among the magical treasures he was currently refining, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Divine Needle and the Nanming Thunder Fire Mirror were both offensive types, while the Thunder Lock Bracelet was a control-type treasure, greatly enhancing his strength.
Combined with the several intermediate-level supernatural abilities he cultivated, even if he encountered a Primordial Spirit True Monarch head-on, he would still have a fighting chance.
Even if he couldn't win, the chances of escaping were very high.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, his mind sinking deep into his dantian.
A five-colored ring, shrunk to the size of a ring, floated near the golden pill, and a pale blue pill fire slowly burned the ring. Lu Xuan sensed the faint connection between himself and the ring.
With a thought, the five-colored ring shot out, transforming into a bracelet with flowing thunder light, swirling rapidly around him.
After putting away the Thunder Lock Bracelet, Lu Xuan entered the spirit field and began inspecting the various spirit plants.
Under his careful cultivation during this period, all the spirit plants had grown exceptionally well.
After tending to them, he entered the separate courtyard in the Heart Sword Lake.
At the very center, the sword sheath lay on the ground, nurturing the silver-white sword grass seeds within,"
"The condition is quite good."
Lu Xuan sighed, grabbed the sword sheath, and shook it vigorously, causing more than twenty seeds to slide out.
He planted all the seeds in the spirit soil and examined them one by one.
【Thousand Thunder Sword Grass, Fourth Rank Mutation Spirit Plant...】
"The sword sharpening last time was quite effective. I actually got two mutation spirit seeds."
Lu Xuan was delighted.
Under the nourishment of the Sword Mystic Hedgehog's sword blades, the sword sheath had recovered to its best state and had once again induced two mutation sword grass seeds.
"I'll have to shear more of the Sword Mystic Hedgehog's wool."
"After all, it's for their full-body care!"
He thought to himself.
After giving the Nourishing Profound Sword Sheath a promise, he returned to his Daoist mansion and planted the two mutation Thousand Thunder Sword Grass seeds.
The other four mutated sword grasses had grown to about a foot tall, and their pure sword intent allowed him to sense the divine thunder spirit sword qi gestating within the plants.
"Might as well bring them to a similar stage."
Lu Xuan wanted these six mutated sword grasses to condense seeds at the same time, so he decided to actively ripen the newly planted two to match the others.
Over the years, Shenmu Qinghu had accumulated a full flask of plant spirit energy, along with the remaining dozens of drops of chaotic primordial tree sap, making it feasible to ripen two fourth-rank mutated sword grasses.
After a slight acceleration of their growth, he cast a round of Spirit Rain Technique and returned to the courtyard.
Just as he was about to refine the Five Thunder Binding Bracelet, suddenly, a familiar aura appeared outside his Daoist mansion.
Lu Xuan's spirit sense swept over, and he immediately saw the Sword Mystic Hedgehog that had visited once before.
"Maintenance can be done either zero or countless times."
"Once you've tasted the sweetness, it's easy to get addicted."
A smile played on his lips, and with a flash, he arrived at the entrance of the Daoist mansion.
"It's been a while since we last met. Are you here for a full-body maintenance again?"
Lu Xuan smiled and greeted the now-familiar Sword Mystic Hedgehog.
The Sword Mystic Hedgehog rolled halfway towards him, nodding in agreement.
Its movements were light and graceful, its heart filled with excitement, clearly anticipating the new maintenance.
"Maintenance is not a problem, but the last time, the sword sheath you brought was in a state of over-exhaustion due to the extended duration of the maintenance."
Thinking of the ancient sword sheath that had trembled upon encountering the Sword Mystic Hedgehog's body, Lu Xuan spoke with a pang of conscience.
"Then what should we do?"
"What should we do?"
The Sword Mystic Hedgehog, with its limited intelligence, didn't catch the implication in Lu Xuan's words, repeatedly conveying a simple thought to him.
"It's best to find a way to make it vibrant and vigorous again, returning it to its peak."
"It's just that it needs a little treasure as a consolation, which will give it more motivation to continue the next full-body maintenance."
Lu Xuan, knowing the Sword Mystic Hedgehog's urgent need for the sword sheath, pretended to ponder for a moment before slowly speaking.
"However, as friends, using treasures to measure our relationship seems too worldly."
He spoke with righteous indignation.
Upon hearing this, the Sword Mystic Hedgehog conveyed a sense of gratitude, wishing it could pounce on Lu Xuan right away.
Lu Xuan hurriedly stopped the Sword Mystic Hedgehog from acting on its impulse to pierce him with a thousand swords.
"How about this, I have a suggestion."
"You can bring over the other Sword Mystic Hedgehogs from the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak, and let the sword sheath perform full-body maintenance for them."
"You've experienced the maintenance once, so you should know its effects, right?"
Lu Xuan asked the Sword Mystic Hedgehog.
The Sword Mystic Hedgehog quickly rolled forward halfway, having cherished the wonderful taste of maintenance. It had searched for Lu Xuan in the Sword Sect for a long time without success, which was why it had taken the initiative to come to his Daoist mansion.
"As long as you bring over one Sword Mystic Hedgehog and make it a regular customer of the sword sheath, I'll give you a 10% discount on your future full-body maintenance."
"If you bring two Sword Mystic Hedgehogs, I'll give you a 30% discount."
"If you bring them all, your future maintenance fees will be halved, and you'll receive an additional ten free sessions!"
Lu Xuan gently persuaded.
Upon hearing this suggestion, the Sword Mystic Hedgehog froze in its place, pondering for a long time before understanding Lu Xuan's words.
After understanding, it nodded in agreement and promised Lu Xuan that it would try its best to bring its kin over after returning.
It even shyly asked if it could use one of the free sessions in advance.
Lu Xuan naturally didn't refuse and went to Heart Sword Lake to retrieve the sword sheath.
After three days of intense battle between the two, the Sword Mystic Hedgehog finally left satisfied.
"In the future, you can continuously enjoy the sensation of countless sword blades."
"Being a sword sheath isn't easy, so it's only right for me to collect a little fee on its behalf!"
Lu Xuan secretly thought to himself.
The Sword Mystic Hedgehog held a high status within the Hundred Crafts Sword Peak, and it could easily obtain a substantial amount of resources.
