Chapter 1097: All Preparations Made
Chapter 1097: All Preparations Made
Amid the whimpers of several Tree Maidens, Lu Xuan arrived at the Spirit Field where the Flame Torch Ancient Grass was cultivated.
Even from a distance, one could see a bright and radiant area within the Spirit Field.
In the field, the Flame Torch Ancient Grass shimmered with faint light, its delicate glow intertwining with the vibrant radiance of the dust particles.
Lu Xuan carefully tended to the Flame Torch Ancient Grass, then made his way to the Twin White Lotus.
The Twin White Lotus seemed to sense Lu Xuan's approach, and the pure white lotus trembled slightly, emitting a profound yet subtle longing. It was as if a long-lost dear friend had reunited, filling the moment with boundless joy.
"After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, this Seventh Rank Twin White Lotus will also be within the priority range for accelerated maturation."
"After all, in the Nascent Soul realm, if I want to travel through various celestial realms and search for Advanced Spirit Plants or corresponding treasures, having a soul-connected incarnation is indispensable."
The Linggu Incarnation was formed from the Fifth Rank Holy Infant Fruit, and it had its limitations in various aspects.
The Seventh Rank Twin White Lotus would perfectly solve this issue.
Lu Xuan sighed, approached the Twin White Lotus, and immersed his consciousness into it, feeling the simple and pure joy it conveyed. A smile naturally appeared on his face.
With a thought, a bottle of Ink Yin Spring appeared in his hand, and a stream of ink-green spirit spring, emitting pure Yin energy, slowly seeped into the white lotus.
The Wish Coin was suspended in the air, and the Incense Fire Marvel Tree grew rapidly as well. Dots of dim yellow glow fell from the coin, landing on the branches and leaves of the tree.
The Impermeable Spirit Tree had been planted for about twenty years. The previously semi-transparent seedling had grown to about three feet tall, and as it sensed Lu Xuan's approach, it eagerly absorbed his blood essence and vitality, as if it had found a life-giving rain after a long drought.
The Bodhi tree, intentionally placed in the Deficient Heavenly Grotto, had also grown significantly. The small seedling swayed in the wind, carrying a hint of enlightenment and clarity.
Since the Measure Wood required frequent observation to prevent it from silently slipping into the void through the spatial cracks it created, Lu Xuan had not transplanted the three Measure Wood into the Deficient Heavenly Grotto.
"It's time to start cultivating the Nine True Spirit Leaves."
Lu Xuan took out the Nine True Spirit Leaves spirit seed entrusted to him by the Treasure Tower's spirit.
He had obtained this spirit seed a few decades ago, but due to various factors, he hadn't rushed to plant it. Instead, he had kept it in the Deficient Heavenly Grotto, allowing the pure and rich spiritual energy there to maintain the spirit seed's vitality.
Now, with the True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and Mystical Turtle spirit essences in hand, he could finally begin cultivation.
As the first Eighth Rank Spirit Plant in the Cave World, he planted the Nine True Spirit Leaves in the most central area of the Spirit Field, allowing it to solely enjoy the purest and most concentrated spiritual energy within the Deficient Heavenly Grotto.
After the spirit seed was sown into the spirit soil, he took out the three drops of true spirit essence blood, and the numerous shadows within the spirit seed underwent intense changes.
The shadows of the True Dragon, Heavenly Phoenix, and Mystical Turtle directly seized the three drops of true spirit essence blood, merging them into the depths of the spirit seed.
The spirit seed didn't appear much different from before, but Lu Xuan could sense the incredibly vibrant life force within it.
"With three types of true spirit essence blood, it will at least produce three true spirit leaves, and we can then harvest three white light spheres."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel delighted as he thought about it.
After the three drops of true spirit essence blood recognized the plant as kin, although the other six types seemed far-fetched, Lu Xuan's heart was free of worry.
"After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll start collecting true spirit essence blood. I promised the Treasure Tower's spirit that I'd find one or two more types for him, so I can begin cultivation without any psychological burden."
"I'll have to roughly estimate the number of advanced spirit plants that need to be ripened. Even the seventy-seven drops of Primordial Tree Sap might not be enough in the end." Lu Xuan thought to himself.
For the first time, he felt that his collection of treasures was lacking.
"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I must find a way to replenish the Divine Wood Qing Hu or acquire other spirit energy treasures."
"Hmm, I could also consider going to the Dark Apex Tree Mother to fleece some resources."
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
Arriving at the Deficient Heavenly Grotto, he suppressed the urge to visit the Thousand Treasures True River and instead focused on cultivating the advanced spirit plants within. After nurturing them, he boarded the Great Sword Boat and returned to the Cave Profound Sword Sect.
True Sword Peak.
Lu Xuan quietly entered the cave mansion.
"Master is back!"
The White Ape guarding the entrance of the cave mansion sensed his presence and shouted excitedly.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and the Wind Listening Beast appeared before Lu Xuan.
Thunderous light raged, and faint green spirit light circulated as the Thunder Dragon Hound, the Green Peak Mythical Beast, and other spirit beasts surrounded him.
Lu Xuan quickly took out a Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass and divided it into several sections, feeding them to the spirit beasts.
"How has the cave mansion been while I was away these past two to three months?"
After calming the spirit beasts, Lu Xuan approached the White Ape.
"Reporting to Master, everything is normal."
"During this time, several of Master's fellow disciples and senior brothers came to visit. When they heard that Master was in seclusion preparing for the Nascent Soul breakthrough, they left immediately."
The White Ape described the identities and cultivation levels of the visiting cultivators to Lu Xuan.
"Good, you've worked hard during this time."
Lu Xuan scanned the cave mansion with his spirit perception and immediately noticed that the White Ape had not fought with the Thunder Dragon Hound or the Green Peak Mythical Beast, which relieved him.
He took out two spirit fruits and handed them to the White Ape.
"Eh? Master, these two fruits are both excellent!"
The White Ape spoke with surprise.
"Get lost!"
Lu Xuan scolded with a smile and kicked the White Ape out of the cave mansion.
He entered the house and began considering the Nascent Soul breakthrough.
"Within the Sword Sect, there's a forbidden area specifically for Inner Sect Disciples to attempt the Nascent Soul breakthrough."
"The forbidden area is protected by powerful formation arrays. At critical moments, one can rely on the power of these formations and also avoid external disturbances during the breakthrough process. It allows disciples to focus solely on the Nascent Soul breakthrough without distractions."
"Another crucial point is that there are powerful Nascent Soul Elders within who are willing to protect and rescue disciples during life-threatening moments."
Even if Lu Xuan suggested attempting the breakthrough outside or in other realms, Sword True would undoubtedly be the first to object.
Lu Xuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to attempt the breakthrough within the Sword Sect.
Regarding the risk of exposing his treasures during the breakthrough process, he believed that there were many disciples in the Sword Sect with significant secrets like himself. The Nascent Soul Elders tasked with protection should not allow any behavior that would pry into the disciples' secrets, and it would be challenging to detect the disciples' actions under the heavy restrictions of the formation arrays.
After a short rest, Lu Xuan headed to the spirit field.
He went straight to the area where twenty-six Essence Spirit Ginseng were planted.
Through the dense white mist, he focused his mind and noticed that the progress bars below three of the Essence Spirit Ginseng were already full.
"Everything is ready, all that's left is the final push."
Lu Xuan looked at the more than twenty Essence Spirit Ginseng in the spirit field and smiled.
