Chapter 1141: Universe Palace
The more Mu Yuanping witnessed, the more astonished he became.
The spirit plants, which he deemed to be in excellent condition, were further nurtured by Lu Xuan with effortless ease, pushing them to their peak state.
Mu Yuanping, possessing an innate Wood Spirit Body, could be considered a natural-born Spirit Cultivator, and his exceptional talent couldn't help but instill a sense of pride in him.
However, upon witnessing Lu Xuan's mastery in spirit cultivation, his pride instantly vanished.
"Master, I dare to ask, how can you tend to every spirit plant with such meticulous care?" he asked, his hesitation momentarily giving way to his curiosity.
"It's nothing special; just a matter of practice," Lu Xuan replied with a faint smile, his demeanor exuding the wisdom of a reclusive master.
Mu Yuanping nodded thoughtfully, deep in contemplation.
"It seems I haven't been diligent enough in cultivating spirit plants," he said.
"From now on, I'll devote more effort to spirit cultivation. I won't tarnish the reputation of my master, the Spirit Cultivation Master."
He silently made a decision in his heart.
After Lu Xuan and Mu Yuanping inspected the outer perimeter of the Spirit Field, they returned to the courtyard.
"Recently, I obtained a medicinal garden from the Sword Master. The area with the densest spirit energy is perfect for cultivating Fifth-Rank Spirit Plants," Lu Xuan explained.
"In the future, I'll need your help in cultivating some spirit plants that require more attention. It will ease some of my burden."
"Of course, I won't let your time and effort go to waste. I'll reward you handsomely for your assistance," Lu Xuan assured him with a serene expression.
"No problem, Master!" Mu Yuanping exclaimed with delight, nodding eagerly.
He hadn't anticipated that upon becoming Lu Xuan's disciple, he would be entrusted with such a significant responsibility.
Being assigned to manage a medicinal garden and cultivate numerous spirit plants during the Foundation Establishment stage was a testament to the trust his Nascent Soul Elder Master had in him.
"Also, have you heard of a herbal treasure called the Spirit Absorption Pearl?" Lu Xuan inquired.
"I've heard of it. It's said to contain abundant and pure herb wood spirit energy," Mu Yuanping replied with a nod.
"The reason I called you here today is to entrust you with an important task," Lu Xuan continued.
"Please, Master, tell me," Mu Yuanping said, his spirits lifting.
"Due to certain circumstances, I require a large quantity of Spirit Absorption Pearls," Lu Xuan explained.
"The Spirit Absorption Pearl has a specific function, and although it's only a Third-Rank treasure, it's extremely difficult to condense. One must possess the corresponding Wood School Spells."
"However, with your unique physique, condensing the Spirit Absorption Pearl will be much easier."
Previously, Lu Xuan had primarily obtained Spirit Absorption Pearls from the Light Orbs of the Hidden Origin Grass, but the process of personally condensing them was tedious and time-consuming. The supply from the Light Orbs was already sufficient.
However, with the emergence of the Divine Wood Green Flask and his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, the demand for Spirit Absorption Pearls had skyrocketed. Thus, he decided to assign this task to Mu Yuanping.
As a Wood Spirit Body, Mu Yuanping would find it much more efficient to condense the pearls, and any delay in cultivation could be easily offset by a single Essence Spirit Pill.
"I'm willing to learn the art of condensing Spirit Absorption Pearls and alleviate your concerns, Master," Mu Yuanping said solemnly.
"Good. I won't let you down," Lu Xuan assured him with a soft laugh.
"Thank you, Master!" Mu Yuanping expressed his deep gratitude.
After seeking Lu Xuan's guidance on several spirit cultivation matters and receiving thorough answers, he departed, satisfied.
"Youth is indeed filled with vigor," Lu Xuan remarked as he watched Mu Yuanping's departing figure with his divine perception.
"But I understand. If, during my Foundation Establishment, a Nascent Soul Elder from the Heaven Sword Sect had taken me as a disciple, allowing me to manage a medicinal garden and relieving him of some burden, wouldn't I have served him with unwavering loyalty?"
He chuckled lightly.
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to be much older than him."
With that thought, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. After Li Haotian and the other two had paid their respects, they tactfully refrained from disturbing Lu Xuan, only occasionally sending a message to greet him.
Lu Xuan was pleased with this, and he peacefully cultivated spirit plants in his cave mansion.
"The Celestial Yellow Spirit Seed and the Void Spirit Vine have both recovered their vitality."
He gently spread out the Green Emperor Immortal Leaf, which was overflowing with lush vitality, and from within the lush green giant leaf, a mysterious vine appeared.
The vine was less than two feet long, emitting a deep spiritual light. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be intertwined with the space behind it.
Then, the Celestial Yellow Spirit Seed was taken out from the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, and together with the Void Spirit Vine, they were placed in front of Lu Xuan.
"The Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk has been nourishing both the Void Spirit Vine and the Celestial Yellow Spirit Seed, and its vitality has been almost completely consumed."
"As for the Green Emperor Immortal Leaf, it still has some effect, and it can be used when encountering similar spirit seeds in the future."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"With my innate spirit root and Ninth-rank spirit seed, it's time to refine that Imperfect Spatial Realm."
Even though the Imperfect Spatial Realm was protected by a Seventh-rank Heavenspan Star Sword Array, if the Void Spirit Vine and Celestial Yellow Spirit Seed were to be planted there, Lu Xuan felt that he would constantly worry and lose his appetite and sleep.
He instructed the White Ape to guard the cave mansion carefully and quietly left the Sword Sect, riding the gigantic sword boat and disappearing into the void.
Nearly a month later, Lu Xuan patted the upgraded Thunder Summoning Wing on his back and transformed into a streak of silver-white thunder light, rapidly heading towards the Imperfect Spatial Realm.
"There's nothing unusual."
With his divine perception and Hua Mian Nu's simultaneous probing, he quietly arrived in front of the black mist that enveloped the Imperfect Spatial Realm.
His heart stirred, and within the black mist, numerous stars lit up, and countless powerful sword auras streaked through like meteors, instantly forming a Star Formation Array in front of him.
Lu Xuan landed on the ground of the Imperfect Spatial Realm and headed straight for the Eighth Layer Palace.
Seven layers of spirit flowers were piled on top of each other, forming a strange world where Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire erupted, Yin and Yang transformed, and time wove together.
At the very top, the eighth layer of spirit flowers was in bud, and the surrounding space was distorted, giving Lu Xuan an unreal feeling as if he were looking at flowers through mist.
"Without the nourishment of a spatial artifact, the growth rate is still a bit slow."
Lu Xuan sighed softly, and with a thought, a semi-transparent spirit wood appeared above the eighth layer of the Universe Palace.
"The Divine Wood Green Flask was used up last time, and currently, only the bottom layer is left. I'll use the Wood Spirit Juice extracted from the Wood Spirit Root to ripen the eighth layer."
He thought, and fifteen drops of Wood Spirit Juice appeared above the Universe Palace, with the first drop slowly dripping into the very center of the spirit flower.
The spirit flower trembled slightly, and the distorted space around it became even more apparent, causing the spatial power within the Space Palace to be drawn in, and both seemed to find the same frequency. The Space Palace instantly shrank to the size of a finger and merged into the spirit flower.
Then, the second drop, the third drop...
As the number of Wood Spirit Juice drops absorbed increased, the Universe Palace grew at a visible speed, and a strange spirit flower that emitted spatial anomalies silently bloomed.
It wasn't until the twelfth drop of Wood Spirit Juice that the semi-transparent progress bar below the spirit flower was completely filled.
"The Eighth Layer Palace has finally matured."
Lu Xuan gazed at the eight layers of spirit flowers, each with its unique anomalies, and his heart was filled with countless emotions.
After eight blooms, using multiple high-grade spirit objects, he had finally successfully cultivated this rare Seventh-rank spirit plant.
After the Universe Palace's spirit flower bloomed, a white light orb quietly appeared in its very center.
