Chapter 1124: Unexpected Visitors
"This Wood Spirit Root is truly too precious, and I, Lu Xuan, am ashamed to accept it. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, or if I can exchange it for another treasure."
Lu Xuan knew that the Supreme Pole Tree Mother would not casually give away such a rare treasure, so he took the initiative to ask.
"I only wish to exchange this treasure for a promise from Fellow Daoist Lu."
The Supreme Pole Tree Mother spoke gently.
"Please tell me, Senior."
"The Tree Realm is located within the Green Wood Star Cavern, and although its geographical location is already excellent, it is still not safe enough.
"If a major crisis arises in the Tree Realm in the future, I hope Fellow Daoist Lu will consider this Wood Spirit Root and lend a helping hand."
The Supreme Pole Tree Mother had witnessed Lu Xuan's growth and knew that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm in such a short time. With the support of a giant sect like the Cave Profound Sword Sect, his future cultivation path would surely be smooth.
By giving him the Wood Spirit Root, she was making a long-term investment.
"Within my abilities, I, Lu Xuan, will do my best to help."
"However, I will be staying at the Sword Sect for a long time, and the number of times I come to the Liyang Realm will gradually decrease. With such distance, I may not be able to understand the situation in the Green Wood Star Cavern, and it will be difficult to provide timely assistance to you."
Lu Xuan paused for a moment and spoke honestly.
"No need to worry. I have a spirit seed condensed with my own aura."
The Supreme Pole Tree Mother extended a vine, and at its tip, a completely emerald green seed appeared.
"This seed has limited use and cannot be cultivated normally. But I can activate it within my body, and when it takes root and sprouts, it will be able to convey certain messages to you."
"Even if we are separated by multiple realms, I can still accurately convey my thoughts to you. Of course, I can only contact you one-sidedly; you cannot reach me."
"Good, I, Lu Xuan, will take good care of it."
Hearing that it couldn't be cultivated, Lu Xuan felt a twinge of disappointment. He scanned it with his divine sense, confirmed there were no abnormalities, and solemnly placed the emerald green spirit seed, capable of cross-realm communication, into his storage bag.
He didn't stay in the Tree Realm for long, less than an hour, before bidding farewell to the Supreme Pole Tree Mother and leaving.
Afterward, he took the opportunity to visit the Spirit Herbist Yu Lin, who resided in the Green Wood Star Cavern, but unfortunately, he wasn't in his cave mansion.
Upon returning to the Thunder Star Cave, Lu Xuan took out the Wood Spirit Root and examined it carefully.
"A new treasure for ripening, I wonder how it compares to the Divine Wood Green Vase and the Primordial Tree Essence."
He extended his divine sense into the peculiar root and immediately sensed countless green lights floating within. There were even faint, barely visible emerald green specks slowly drifting out of the spiritual field and seeping into the root.
"So this is how Wood Spirit Juice is formed."
Lu Xuan sighed.
He controlled the countless green lights to gather together, and soon, a drop of emerald green juice emerged from the very center of the root.
The juice exuded a fresh and natural aura, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.
Lu Xuan continued to extract the juice.
Perhaps because the Wood Spirit Root hadn't been used to extract Wood Spirit Juice in a long time, he managed to squeeze out twelve drops of Wood Spirit Juice.
By the twelfth drop, the speed was significantly slower than the first, and the center of the root slightly bulged, as if it had exhausted all its strength. After a while, it finally managed to squeeze out one more drop with great effort.
"That's it. There's not a single drop left."
Lu Xuan probed the root with his consciousness and gazed at the space within, which was filled with a faint green aura, as if sensing this thought.
He reluctantly collected the twelve drops of Wood Spirit Juice together.
"Let's test its effect."
Lu Xuan flew high into the sky.
The Fifth Rank Starfruit was almost ripe, and with the Spirit Plants in the Sword Sect on his mind, he had no patience to wait any longer. He decided to use the Wood Spirit Juice to ripen them.
A drop of Wood Spirit Juice pierced through the starry sky, splitting into a thread and landing on the Spirit Fruit that shone like stars.
In no time, the semi-transparent progress bar below the Star Fruit was completely filled.
"In total, four drops of Wood Spirit Juice were used, with effects not far off from the Primordial Tree Essence."
The Star Fruit was of the Fifth Rank, and with only a short time until full maturity, the eighteen Spirit Fruits only consumed four drops of Wood Spirit Juice.
Lu Xuan carefully and cautiously harvested the eighteen Spirit Fruits, his gaze falling on the quietly emerging white light orbs.
He transformed into a streak of silver-white thunder light, instantly touching all the orbs.
Countless points of light rained down.
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Star Fruit, obtained a Sixth Rank Treasure, the Star Banner.]
[Harvested one Fifth Rank Star Fruit, obtained the Heartfelt Experience of the Star River Array Diagram.]
[Harvested...]
From the eighteen light orbs, he obtained five Sixth Rank Star Banners, five Heartfelt Experience packages of the Star River Array Diagram, four Cultivation Experience packages of the Star Gazing Contemplation Method, and four Sixth Rank Spirit Minerals, Star Iron fragments.
"Five Sixth Rank Star Banners, at this rate, it won't be long before I can set up the second Heavenly Star Banner Sword Formation."
Lu Xuan chuckled silently.
The five Heartfelt Experience packages of the Star River Array Diagram gave him a more profound understanding of the Array Path, greatly improving his skills in both setting up and breaking through formations.
After absorbing the four Cultivation Experience packages of the Star Gazing Contemplation Method, the profound star in the depths of his sea of consciousness quietly brightened by three points. The starry sky above poured down, illuminating a vast area of his sea of consciousness, silently nourishing his soul and divine sense.
He then went to the Spiritual Field where the Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass was planted.
With eighteen plants of Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass, he decided to leave six for seed condensation, harvesting the rest.
The Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass had the same rank as the Star Fruit, and their growth progress was not much different. It also took four drops of Wood Spirit Juice to fully mature them all.
From the twelve white light orbs, he harvested four Fifth Rank Ten Thousand Phenomena Pills, three Ten Thousand Phenomena Pill Formula Experience packages, three Sixth Rank Spirit Talismans, and two pieces of Celestial Demon Order fragments.
"The second piece of the Celestial Demon Order is almost complete. I'll keep one for myself and try to obtain the other at the auction. Hopefully, I can exchange it for a high-grade rare Spirit Seed."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Not long after returning to the Thunder Star Cave, the Earth Star Lord sent a Star Messenger with over a thousand pounds of Kun Earth.
Kun Earth was a Sixth Rank Spirit Soil, and with such a large quantity, it was natural that it wouldn't be given to Lu Xuan for free.
However, there was a significant discount, with the price being 80% of the previous purchase.
This accumulated savings, saving Lu Xuan an unknown amount of spirit stones.
For the next period, Lu Xuan mostly stayed in his cave mansion, condensing those high-grade Spirit Seeds.
As the day of his return to the Sword Sect drew closer, Lu Xuan was cultivating the Ethereal Wood Thunder Vine and the Azure Dragon Wood when a deep voice sounded outside his cave mansion.
"Is Fellow Daoist Lu in the cave mansion? I am Jin Yao, and I have long admired your reputation. I have come to pay you a visit."
Lu Xuan's divine sense swept over, and his expression revealed a hint of surprise.
Outside the cave mansion stood a middle-aged cultivator with an extraordinary bearing. He wore a tall crown and a golden feathered robe, and his eyes shone like lightning.
"I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance I haven't seen in many years."
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly, filled with emotion.
The visitor was indeed Jin Yao True Monarch, whom he had met several times in the past. Jin Yao had once joined forces with two Nascent Soul True Monarchs to attempt to subdue the Horned Thunder Ox and conquer the Thunder Bull Beast's territory. In the end, they were thwarted by Lu Xuan, who was only at the Core Formation Realm at the time, using a matured Heavensource Fruit to resolve the crisis for the Thunder Bull Beast clan.
