Chapter 1112: Sea-Stabilizing Staff
A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind, and a mysterious staff appeared before him out of thin air.
The staff was made of an unknown material, entirely red-gold in color, and adorned with intricate, hollowed-out patterns. It floated in the air, giving off an extraordinary feeling of immense weight, as if it could pierce through mountains and clouds.
Lu Xuan's mind focused on the staff, and he instantly gained detailed information about this treasure.
【Sea-Stabilizing Staff, a Seventh Rank treasure, forged from the essence of the Southern Blazing Fire. It is indestructible and contains the inherited divine techniques of the Sea-Stabilizing Demon Ape clan. When infused with the essence blood of an ape, it can unlock their inherited techniques. The higher the rank of the ape and the purer their bloodline, the more techniques they can comprehend.】
"Sea-Stabilizing Staff... a Seventh Rank treasure!"
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
"This staff seems to be tailor-made for the white ape."
He thought to himself.
Deep in his memory, the image of a monkey wielding a staff, traveling through the heavens and earth, and subduing all kinds of demons and monsters, came to mind.
Not to mention that this Sea-Stabilizing Staff contained the divine techniques of the Sea-Stabilizing Demon Ape clan, and all it needed was a drop of essence blood from an ape to unlock them.
It was a perfect match for the recently advanced White Jade Heaven-Soaring Ape.
With a thought, the three spirit beasts that had been causing an uproar in the backyard of the cave mansion suddenly calmed down.
The white ape transformed into a streak of white light and swiftly flew over, its eyes glowing red, still filled with excitement from the previous battle.
"Master, what did you call me for?"
"I've just condensed five Heart Ape Fruits, but I don't have enough Essence Energy to condense more at the moment."
The white ape spoke with its head lowered.
"Who's here to hand in their homework? Do you think I enjoy exploiting spirit beasts so much?"
Lu Xuan pretended to kick him.
"You're so easy to talk to in other aspects, but when it comes to spirit plants and seeds..."
The white ape seemed to want to say more but held back.
It had been guarding Lu Xuan's cave mansion for decades and understood his character better than anyone.
"..."
Lu Xuan paused and coughed lightly.
"I have great news for you."
"You've done a good job guarding the cave mansion over the years, and you've just advanced to a Sixth Rank spirit beast. Coincidentally, I have a suitable treasure for your ape clan, so I'm bestowing it upon you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red-gold staff appeared, rolling in front of the white ape.
"Huh? This staff seems to be calling out to me."
The white ape let out a soft exclamation, grabbing the staff with one hand. Its entire arm was pulled down by the weight of the staff, which seemed to weigh tens of thousands of pounds.
"So heavy!"
It lifted the staff with a sudden motion, easily raising the Sea-Stabilizing Staff, and even started performing staff maneuvers, its movements becoming faster and leaving afterimages in its wake.
"This is truly a wonderful treasure!"
The white ape couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is the Sea-Stabilizing Staff, a Seventh Rank treasure, containing the inherited divine techniques of the Sea-Stabilizing Demon Ape clan. After infusing it with your essence blood, you can comprehend a portion of those techniques."
"With the bloodline of the White Jade Heaven-Soaring Ape clan and your status as a Sixth Rank spirit beast, you should be able to comprehend quite a lot."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
"Sea-Stabilizing Staff..."
The white ape stared at the red-gold staff in its hands with a dazed expression, gently caressing every part of the staff.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing such a precious treasure upon me!"
It knelt down with a thud, filled with endless gratitude.
This Sea-Stabilizing Staff was a Seventh Rank magical artifact, and even for a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, it was a rather excellent treasure.
For Lu Xuan to bestow such a treasure so easily upon a guardian spirit beast was an extremely rare act in the entire cultivation world.
After all, most cultivators merely view Spirit Beasts as objects to enslave, making it difficult to develop deep emotions with them.
But the White Ape had obtained the Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass from Lu Xuan multiple times, and it also had the rare Seventh Rank Magical Artifact, a treasure gifted by the Fire God Ape.
Where else could one find such a Master? The White Ape knelt on the ground for a long time before standing up.
"Alright, from now on, the Sea-Stabilizing Staff is completely yours. You must treat it well and try to comprehend your ape clan's divine technique from it as much as possible."
Lu Xuan gave a few instructions and then flew into the house.
"Yes, Master!"
The White Ape shouted loudly, his words not matching his thoughts.
With such a rare treasure, how could he not go and torment the Thunder Dragon Pup and the Green Mountain Unicorn? That would be a waste.
...
In the blink of an eye, more than a year passed.
During this time, several fellow disciples had invited Lu Xuan to explore secret realms together, but he politely declined each time.
He mostly stayed in his cave mansion, cultivating Spirit Plants, practicing divine techniques, crafting talismans, refining pills, and brewing Spirit Brew.
His days were peaceful yet fulfilling.
Lu Xuan relished this lifestyle.
Exploring secret realms was ultimately for the purpose of finding opportunities and treasures.
And he could easily obtain all of this within his own cave mansion, without taking any risks. Therefore, there was no need for him to venture out.
"Lu Shidi, are you in your cave mansion?"
On this day, a bright and charming Yuanrong, dressed in a fiery red robe, arrived at the entrance of the cave mansion.
"Greetings, Yuan Shijie. I apologize for not coming out to greet you, please forgive me," Lu Xuan said as he flashed over from the Spirit Field to the entrance of the cave mansion, welcoming Yuanrong in.
"Shidi, during this time, have you had the leisure to draw Sword Talismans and refine True Sword Elixir?"
"Previously, you were busy with your Nascent Soul breakthrough, and for a long time, you've been supplying goods. I've come today to urge you," Yuanrong said with a smile.
Since Lu Xuan first entered the True Sword Peak, he had established a cooperative relationship with Yuanrong. He provided the Sword Peak with high-level Sword Talismans and Spirit Brew, and in return, the Sword Peak paid him with a corresponding number of Sword Seals.
Through this, Lu Xuan obtained a large number of Sword Seals, and the True Sword Peak could also contribute more to the Sword Sect, allowing them to receive additional benefits during the upcoming Sword Peak Competition.
"Yes, there's quite a lot of them."
Drawing Sword Talismans and refining Spirit Brew was one of Lu Xuan's main ways to earn Sword Seals. With the experience packages he had absorbed, his success rate was exceptionally high, making it effortless to earn Sword Seals.
"In total, there are eighty Fifth Rank Sword Talismans and forty-six bottles of True Sword Elixir."
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and dozens of bottles of silvery-gray spirit liquid floated in the air. The Great Sun and Roaring Sea Sword Talismans, among others, exuded dense sword intent, as if they could unleash a torrent of sword qi.
"Are we still following the original cooperation prices?"
Seeing this, Yuanrong's heart rejoiced, and she carefully collected all the Sword Talismans, fearing they might cause a riot.
Lu Xuan nodded, "No problem."
"Good. Each Fifth Rank Sword Talisman is worth two hundred Sword Seals, and each bottle of True Sword Elixir is worth one hundred and seventy Sword Seals."
"In total, it's twenty-three thousand eight hundred and twenty Sword Seals."
As Yuanrong spoke, a large pile of Sword Seals, resembling a small mountain, slowly floated towards Lu Xuan.
"The number of Sword Seals is correct."
Lu Xuan collected the vast number of Sword Seals.
He had acquired a superior Seventh Rank treasure so easily.
He immediately earned back most of the thirty thousand Sword Seals he had spent on the Seventh Rank Time Arrow.
"By the way, Yuan Shijie, you've been in the sect for many years and are very familiar with it."
"Do you know if there's a place like the Heart Sword Lake or any other location within the Sword Sect that's filled with Slaughter Blade Intent?" Lu Xuan suddenly asked.
