Chapter 1125: Preparing for the Auction
"What a fateful encounter..."
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart.
Back then, when the Thunder Bull Beast's territory was unexpectedly exposed, this Jin Yao Zhenjun had expended a lot of favors to invite two Primordial Spirit Loose Cultivators, thinking that they could easily eliminate the aging Thunder Ox. But they never expected Lu Xuan to be a cunning person.
Lu Xuan immediately ripened the Sixth Rank Heavensource Fruit and obtained the Seventh Rank Turtle Crane Essence Pill, allowing the Horned Thunder Ox to extend its lifespan by several hundred years and return to its peak, fighting three against one and driving away Jin Yao Zhenjun's three Primordial Spirit Cultivators.
"I wonder what this Jin Yao Zhenjun will think when he finds out about my role in all this."
"However, at that time, I was just an unknown junior cultivator, blending in with the many cultivators attracted to the area, completely inconspicuous, and I may not have even left any impression on this Jin Yao Zhenjun."
Lu Xuan's thoughts raced, and he put his mind at ease. With a flash, he arrived at the entrance of his cave mansion.
"It turns out to be Jin Yao Zhenjun, Lu has long admired your esteemed self."
"Forgive me for not greeting you sooner, please accept my apologies."
He smiled and welcomed Jin Yao Zhenjun into his cave mansion.
"Jin, this is a spirit brew personally crafted by me, called Green Dew, with a delightful taste. Please have a taste."
Lu Xuan offered the spirit fruit and spirit brew, greeting him warmly.
"Lu is too kind, your spirit brew is renowned throughout the Central Province."
A hint of a smile appeared on Jin Yao Zhenjun's dignified face.
The two chatted casually for a while.
In their conversation, Jin Yao Zhenjun marveled at Lu Xuan's rapid cultivation speed, completely avoiding any mention of their first encounter.
"Jin has come this time mainly to get to know you, Lu."
Jin Yao Zhenjun said slowly.
"Lu has always held a friendly attitude towards others in cultivation, and it is my honor to get to know you, Jin."
Lu Xuan smiled and said.
Every cultivator was a potential customer who could provide him with spirit seeds, and as long as there was no conflict of great interest, he genuinely showed extreme kindness.
"It is also my honor."
Jin Yao Zhenjun paused, then continued:
"Additionally, there is a great opportunity that I would like to share with you, Lu."
"Oh? Please elaborate, Jin."
A hint of curiosity appeared on Lu Xuan's face, but his heart was filled with vigilance.
"It's like this."
"Recently, Jin discovered an undeveloped abandoned paradise in the depths of the nearby void. After investigating for over a decade, I learned about the approximate entry method to that paradise and also found out that it had a close connection with a once-great sect from ancient times."
"Therefore, I invited several Primordial Spirit Loose Cultivators to explore that abandoned paradise together. When I heard that you, Lu, had returned to the Liyang Realm, I came to invite you to join us."
Jin Yao Zhenjun looked at Lu Xuan and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your trust in me, Jin."
"But Lu has one question. Logically, Jin should know many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, so why invite me?"
Lu Xuan paused for a moment and asked directly.
"I do know some Primordial Spirit Cultivators, but most of them are from sects, and if word gets out, they might monopolize that paradise."
"As for inviting you, Lu, it's because I believe in your character. You have lived in the Celestial Star Cavern for many years and have an excellent reputation, making you a great partner."
"Secondly, although you are also from the Cave Profound Sword Sect, the Sword Sect is too far from the Cloud Void Region, and in a sense, you can be considered a loose cultivator."
"Lastly, it's because I acknowledge your strength. You have cultivated in the Sword Sect for many years, and even if you've just advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm, you are not comparable to ordinary Primordial Spirit Cultivators like us."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, having already made up his mind, but he pretended to be deep in thought on the surface.
"Jin might have misunderstood."
"The reason Lu was able to enter the Cave Profound Sword Sect and break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm with the sect's help has little to do with my innate talent and strength. It's mainly due to my expertise in spirit plants."
"Therefore, apart from being proficient in several sword techniques of the sect, Lu is not skilled in combat."
"Additionally, Lu plans to return to the Sword Sect soon, so I can only apologize for not being able to join you."
Lu Xuan politely declined.
He had no idea how many treasures had come out of the Light Orb, and he had long lost interest in exploring secret realms and seeking opportunities. Moreover, Jin Yao Zhenjun's visit this time seemed a bit odd, and there was no need for him to take the risk of entering that abandoned paradise.
If I really want to search for the abandoned paradise, I can head to the Eastern Wastelands and find the ones left behind by the Heavenly Sword Sect back then.
He secretly thought to himself.
"That would be a pity."
Jin Yao True Monarch shook his head and said no more.
After chatting for a while, he bid farewell and stood up.
Lu Xuan sent him off from the cave mansion and, after seeing his figure completely disappear, a pure white flower quietly appeared in his hand.
The Flower Slave in the center of the flower transformed into a phantom and disappeared into the void.
On the petals, the scene it observed was revealed.
Jin Yao True Monarch moved extremely fast, and in just over ten breaths, he was more than a hundred li away.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to summon the Flower Slave back, he suddenly froze.
An elder with white hair and a youthful face emerged from the thunderous light and joined Jin Yao True Monarch. After exchanging a few words through divine sense, they left together.
"It's a pity that the Flower Slave couldn't find out what they were talking about."
Lu Xuan lamented.
"No matter what Jin Yao True Monarch's intentions are, as long as I don't get involved, it won't affect me in any way."
"As for ambushing in the void, not to mention whether they can discover my traces, whether they can catch up to the giant sword boat, if they intercept me halfway, they'll know the power of an ordinary Spirit Plant Cultivator."
He secretly thought to himself.
Even when he was at the Core Formation Realm, he had the confidence to escape from the hands of Nascent Soul Cultivators. After advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, both his divine sense and the power within his body had greatly increased, and he also had a growing collection of high-grade treasures, divine abilities, and secret techniques. Even facing several early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, he had full confidence.
"It's time to return to the Sword Sect."
Lu Xuan stayed for more than a month, instructing Lei Gui Gong and Cao Gui Lei to guard the cave mansion well. He quietly left the Cloud Void Region and entered the boundless void.
The anticipated ambush did not appear, which made Lu Xuan feel relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
After drifting in the void for more than a month, he finally arrived outside the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Formation.
"Master! You're back! I've missed you so much!"
Upon entering the cave mansion, hearing the familiar shrill voice of the White Ape, Lu Xuan felt completely relaxed.
"It's safer to stay within the Sword Sect."
He looked at the White Ape, Fat Bird, Thunder Dragon Pup, and the other spirit beasts surrounding him and took out various spirit fruits and spirit grasses from his storage bag.
"Come, come, come! I've brought you all delicious treats!"
The spirit beasts immediately became excited, and more than ten Tree Maidens surrounded Lu Xuan, expressing their longing and respect for him.
After dealing with the spirit beasts, Lu Xuan didn't rest and went straight to the center of the Spiritual Field.
"Good, good. The Inch Square Wood hasn't created enough spatial rifts to escape."
After seeing the three Inch Square Wood, Lu Xuan's hanging heart finally settled.
He used his Pupil Technique, relying on his divine sense, and the long, thin spatial rifts that spread around became completely visible. Then, he pulled the spatial force from within the Inch Square Wood and eliminated all the spatial rifts one by one.
After cultivating the Inch Square Wood, Lu Xuan went to the Ten Thousand Forges Spirit Wood and used the Forging Technique, madly hammering the spirit wood to satisfy its masochistic nature.
Finally, he arrived at the center of the Sword Grass Spiritual Field, where the Infinite Freedom Sword Grass and Ice Soul Cold Light Sword Grass were planted. He carefully examined the state of the two seventh-rank sword grasses and nurtured them with care.
"Seventh-rank high-grade spirit seeds are indeed too rare. It seems I should prepare for a new auction and gather the power of numerous cultivators to see if we can exchange for some seventh-rank or even eighth-rank spirit seeds, or the Seed Condensation Technique, and other related treasures."
The seventh-rank sword grass seeds nurtured by the Heart Sword Lake and the Sect Door Heaven were not common, and there were also other powerful fellow disciples competing for them.
He had already obtained two, and the difficulty of obtaining the next one would increase significantly, making it hard to satisfy everyone.
"There are quite a few seventh-rank spirit medicines, and I can also find some seventh-rank spirit plants. In a short time, obtaining spirit seeds and seedlings is the most challenging."
"I've collected so many treasures, and I've also advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm. I can hold a larger-scale private auction."
"Otherwise, keeping so many treasures on me without a chance to use them would be a waste."
Lu Xuan thought to himself in a rather showy manner.
"In my personal capacity, I'll invite some fellow disciples from the Sword Sect and Nascent Soul Cultivators from nearby sects."
"At the same time, I can use the Hailou Commerce Guild, which has a presence in various realm domains, to promote the treasures in the auction and attract as many Core Formation and Nascent Soul Cultivators as possible."
He quickly made up his mind.
