Chapter 1105: The Celestial Dragon Demon Subduing Tree
"Thank you, Ancestor Tianhai, for bestowing this treasure."
Lu Xuan accepted the jade box with both hands, expressing his deep gratitude.
"I hope that in the future, you will continue to improve and cultivate more high-grade sword herbs to benefit the numerous disciples of the Sword Sect."
Ancestor Tianhai spoke earnestly to Lu Xuan.
The reason for his visit was that he had learned of Lu Xuan's improvement of the Fifth Rank Thunder Abyss Sword Herb, and under the pretext of congratulations, he wanted to encourage Lu Xuan.
"Junior understands and will do his best to cultivate more sword herbs."
Lu Xuan replied solemnly.
"Good."
"I'm just passing by, and you won't feel at ease with me here. Enjoy this moment."
Ancestor Tianhai nodded lightly.
Before he could finish speaking, his entire body turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated right in front of everyone.
"It's one of the Ancestor's clones."
Jian Zhen relaxed and transmitted a sound to Lu Xuan.
"Please go inside and entertain them."
"Yes, but as a junior with little influence, I request that Senior Brother accompany me."
Lu Xuan also felt much more relaxed. The pressure brought by a Divine Transformation expert was immense, and he was afraid of inadvertently offending the other party.
He and Jian Zhen flew into the depths of the palace, made a few brief remarks of appreciation and welcome, and then the celebration officially began.
While everyone was enjoying various rare delicacies, he and Jian Zhen went from table to table, offering toasts to express their gratitude.
The spirit brews at the banquet were all made by him, but Jian Zhen Peak had purchased them from him under the guise of procurement.
He had originally intended to present them directly, but he couldn't refuse Jian Peak's insistence on paying for the sword tokens, so he ended up selling them to Jian Peak at a low price.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu, on your advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage."
A thin middle-aged cultivator with sharp eyes, upon seeing Lu Xuan and Jian Zhen approaching, quickly stood up and congratulated them with a smile.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist He."
Lu Xuan smiled and returned the greeting.
This person was indeed a Primordial Spirit Elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect. After Lu Xuan returned to the Cave Profound Sword Sect, they had met on several occasions, but their relationship was rather ordinary.
After a few perfunctory exchanges, his gaze fell on Ge Pu and Huo Lin'er, who were sitting at the same table.
Ge Pu and Huo Lin'er, with respectful demeanors, were about to greet Lu Xuan when Lu Xuan spoke first:
"Fellow Daoist Ge, Fellow Daoist Huo, would you mind addressing me as Senior Uncle?"
He asked with a meaningful tone.
"Ge Pu and Huo Lin'er pay their respects to Senior Uncle."
Upon hearing these words, the two felt that Lu Xuan was still the familiar Spirit Herb Master they knew. The distance they had felt due to Lu Xuan's advancement to the Primordial Spirit stage instantly dissipated.
"Haha, Senior Brothers, please take your time. I'll come and join you after I'm done here."
Hearing the long-awaited address of Senior Uncle, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. After sharing a cup with Ge Pu and the others, he left with a sense of reluctance.
As soon as he left, many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs and Core Formation cultivators nearby began speculating about the relationship between Ge Pu and the others with Lu Xuan. Many even took the initiative to approach them, leaving Ge Pu and the others pleasantly surprised.
"Junior Brother, you sure hold on to old acquaintances."
Jian Zhen, standing by the side, noticed that Lu Xuan spent the most time with several Core Formation disciples. He transmitted his thoughts.
"Those are my former fellow disciples. They have taken good care of me, and our friendship is not shallow. It's impossible for their attitudes to change just because I've advanced to the Primordial Spirit stage."
Lu Xuan quickly transmitted a response during his busy schedule.
In a corner of the palace.
Wen Qian and Baili Jian Qing, still at the Foundation Establishment stage, felt extremely uncomfortable, like sitting on needles.
In the vast palace, there were no fewer than a hundred Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, and the number of Core Formation cultivators was countless.
Even the Sword Sect disciples serving tea and pouring water had cultivation bases at the early Core Formation stage.
Looking around the entire palace, only the two of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
If it weren't for the fact that they had each other as a source of comfort, and only one of them remained in the palace, they might have fainted on the spot.
The two of them closely watched each other's movements, fearing that the other would sneak away, leaving them alone to face so many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
From the moment they entered the palace, the two of them felt as if they were in a dream.
"The master I follow has actually become a Primordial Spirit True Monarch?"
The two of them still couldn't believe it.
"But aren't Wen Qian and Baily Jian Qing, the two Daoist friends from the general store in Jianyuan City?"
A refined scholar quietly approached the two of them and asked politely.
"It's us indeed."
Wen Qian and Baily Jian Qing replied together, finally displaying some of the demeanor befitting a store owner in their words and actions.
"I am Mu Heng from Hailou Commerce Guild, and I came here with the Mu Clan Patriarch."
"The Commerce Guild intends to establish a branch store near the Cave Profound Sword Sect, which is largely related to Senior Lu. You two have been stationed near the Sword Sect for many years and are well-versed in all aspects of opening a store. I hope we can have a good exchange with you."
"Additionally, after the branch store is established, there will inevitably be opportunities to collaborate with the general store. This is a good chance for us to get to know each other."
The refined scholar spoke politely.
Although he was only at the mid-stage of Core Formation, his words were extremely polite to Wen Qian and Baily Jian Qing.
"Daoist Mu is too kind. It should be us seeking guidance from Hailou Commerce Guild."
Wen Qian said calmly, exchanging communication tokens with Mu Heng.
The celebration lasted an entire day and night.
The numerous Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who came to attend the celebration gradually left one after another.
After seeing off the last guest, Lu Xuan returned to his cave mansion feeling slightly weary in his mind and body.
"Holding a celebration centered around oneself is truly exhausting."
"Fortunately, there are so many gifts to console my weary body and mind."
With a wave of his hand, the gifts he received covered the ground.
"Let's take a look at the Seventh Rank Spirit Seed given by Ancestor Tianhai."
Lu Xuan was deeply interested in the Seventh Rank Spirit Seed specially given by the Huashen Ancestor.
He gently opened the jade box.
A faint dragon's roar could be heard, and a tiny golden dragon shadow swiftly flew out amidst countless rays of Buddha light.
After circling in the air a few times, it instantly returned to the jade box.
Inside the box, there lay a Spirit Seed with a strange shape, coiling and twisting, bearing some resemblance to the dragon shadow that had just appeared.
Lu Xuan brought the Spirit Seed to the Spirit Field.
Using the Ground Attraction Technique, he placed the Spirit Seed into a perfectly fitting crack in the ground.
As he focused his mind on it, a thought suddenly flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.
【Celestial Dragon Subduing Tree, a Seventh Rank Spirit Herb, is the tree where the Eightfold Celestial Dragons of the Great Vajra Temple of Vaikuntha dwell. It must be planted in a place rich in Buddhist power and nurtured with Buddhist treasures. The mature Spirit Tree contains powerful Buddha Nature and has the effect of subduing demons.】
"Celestial Dragon Subduing Tree, indeed a Seventh Rank Spirit Herb! And it's a rare herb related to the Buddhist Sect."
Lu Xuan's heart was filled with joy.
He had cultivated high-level Buddhist-related Spirit Herbs like Vajra Bodhi and Seated Buddha Lotus before, and the rewards he gained from the light balls were extremely rich, so he had a good impression of these Buddhist-related Spirit Herbs.
"Ancestor Tianhai is indeed generous, actually giving a Seventh Rank Buddhist Spirit Seed as a gift!"
He couldn't help but sigh.
Even though Spirit Seeds were the least valuable among treasures of the same rank, it was still a genuine Seventh Rank treasure, extremely rare in the cultivation world.
The ones he had cultivated before were either obtained through stealing, trickery, or high prices, or given to him as repayment of favors. This was the first time he had received a Seventh Rank Spirit Seed as a gift.
