Chapter 1159: Turbulence
Chapter 1159: Turbulence
As soon as the words left his mouth, a tall elder shot out from within the majestic palace.
The elder was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his entire body enveloped in a faint red flame. Wherever he passed, the surrounding spirit energy was scorched and twisted into nothingness.
"This old man is Flame Departure, greetings to Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan."
"On behalf of the Fire Deity Palace, I welcome Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan as our guest."
"Please, Fellow Daoist, allow me to make arrangements for Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan's Spirit Beast."
The tall elder laughed heartily.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Flame Departure."
"I would also like to request that this Daoist Fellow arrange for my Spirit Beast."
Lu Xuan spoke to the Crimson Robed Cultivator, then followed the elder through the heavy restrictions into the inner chambers of the Fire Deity Palace.
The two arrived at a spacious hall.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan is skilled in brewing various high-grade Spirit Brews, but unfortunately, we don't have any experts in this field in the Fire Deity Palace. However, we do have a Spirit Spring that produces a decent brew. Please, have a taste."
Soon, several charming maidens entered the hall, carrying Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews.
Lu Xuan picked up a golden yellow wine cup, and with a slight sweep of his Divine Perception, he examined the crimson spirit liquid in the cup before taking a big gulp.
As soon as the spirit liquid entered his stomach, it transformed into a warm current that spread throughout his body, making him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, incredibly comfortable.
"Not bad."
The spirit liquid had a mellow and smooth taste, with a lingering aftertaste. Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"We also have the Fire Jade Lotus Seeds, which are one of the Fire Deity Palace's specialties. However, in front of a Spirit Plant Master like Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, they might not be impressive."
Flame Departure pointed to the plate containing more than ten seeds that resembled fiery red amber, and said with a smile.
"These are Fifth Rank Spirit Fruits? The taste is quite good, and it seems to contain a trace of pure fire-attributed spirit energy."
Lu Xuan picked up a seed, popped it into his mouth.
Compared to the Pure Yang Golden Lotus Seeds, which were also of the Fifth Rank, the Fire Jade Seeds fell short in both taste and effect. However, he couldn't voice this thought and kept it to himself.
Moreover, the Fire Deity Palace was already quite courteous in offering these Fifth Rank seeds to their guest.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan wishes to meet the Fire God Ape Senior?"
After a brief conversation, Flame Departure asked.
"The last time the Fire God Ape Senior visited the Sword Sect, he found my brewed spirit brew to his liking, so he asked me to send some from time to time."
"I'm here for that very reason."
Lu Xuan explained.
"Good, Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, please wait a moment while I inform the Divine Ape Senior."
For powerful Spirit Beasts like the Fire God Ape and the Old Sword Dragon, whose lifespan was coming to an end, the sect made every effort to prevent any disturbances. Therefore, it required going through many formalities to get a chance to meet them.
After a moment, Flame Departure rushed into the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, this way please."
He led Lu Xuan deep into the Fire Deity Palace.
They passed through a profound formation and landed in a fiery red forest.
Numerous fiery red trees had their branches intertwined, forming a mystical nest where the Fire God Ape lay lazily, its aura suppressed, resembling an old monkey in its twilight years.
"Junior Lu Xuan, greetings, Senior."
Lu Xuan was well aware of the Fire God Ape's strength and was not deceived by the scene before him. He took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully.
"You've come sooner than I expected, kid."
The Fire God Ape lazily got up and yawned.
"Junior has long prepared the spirit brew, and as soon as the two types of spirit fruits I cultivated matured, I brought them to Senior."
Lu Xuan spoke solemnly, and in his hand appeared more than thirty Pure Yang Golden Lotus Seeds, ten Crimson Flame Lychee, twenty bottles of Heart Flame Wine, and twenty bottles of Ape Demon Wine.
The Fire God Ape sniffed the delicious aroma, its nostrils flaring. The mouth of a bottle of Heart Flame Wine cracked open, and a golden yellow spirit brew, laced with pure white flames, flew into its mouth.
"The same as before."
"Your brewing skills haven't deteriorated, youngster."
The Fire Deity Ape nodded in satisfaction, then grabbed a Crimson Flame Lychee, closing his eyes to savor the taste of this Fifth Rank Spirit Fruit.
By nature, he loved Fire-attributed Spirit Artifacts and potent Spirit Brews. Additionally, the Spirit Fruits cultivated by Lu Xuan were of exceptional quality, so he gifted an Eighth Stage Spirit Seed, specifically requesting Lu Xuan to send some Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews to the Fire Deity Palace from time to time.
Beside them, Yan Li witnessed the numerous treasures Lu Xuan presented, his expression unchanged, but his heart secretly marveled at Lu Xuan's generosity.
"A Fifth Rank Pure Yang Golden Lotus of superior quality, no wonder the Fire Deity Ape Senior doesn't favor the Fire Jade Lotus of the same rank in the palace."
"As for the other Spirit Fruit, I don't know its origin, but judging by its appearance, it's also above the Fire Jade Lotus."
"And there's the Fifth Rank Spirit Brew, a full forty bottles!"
"Such a vast amount of treasures, even a Yuanling Cultivator would consider this a valuable collection."
Yan Li thought to himself.
"By the way, how's that old immortal doing now? I hope he didn't pass away quietly."
The Fire Deity Ape asked Lu Xuan while drinking the Spirit Brew.
"Senior Sword Dragon is doing well as always. Before I came, he specifically asked me to convey his greetings to you."
Lu Xuan replied thoughtfully.
"Hahaha! Tell him when you go back that I'm doing great, and he can rest assured!"
The Fire Deity Ape's laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth, causing the Fire Clouds above to change rapidly.
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind."
Lu Xuan, unsure how to respond, followed the Fire Deity Ape's words.
"I'm very satisfied with the Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews you brought this time. Remember to maintain this quality next time."
The Fire Deity Ape swept the remaining Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews with his hand and chuckled softly.
"It's not easy to come here once, so enjoy your stay in the Heaven Fire Region."
"Yan Li, you're in charge of entertaining this youngster from Dongxuan Sword Sect."
He casually said to the tall elder behind him.
"Yes!"
Yan Li hurriedly replied.
"Then, I'll take my leave first."
Seeing this, Lu Xuan cupped his hands towards the Fire Deity Ape.
"Go."
The two quickly left the Fire Deity Ape's habitat.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu and Senior Fire Deity Ape to have formed a connection because of Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews."
After leaving, Yan Li smiled and said.
"Perhaps, for Senior Fire Deity Ape, being able to taste more of the world's delicacies is also a wonderful experience."
Lu Xuan sighed.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you speak the truth."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you've traveled countless miles to reach the Fire Deity Palace, so you must spend some time enjoying the palace."
"Although the Heaven Fire Region may not be as vast as the Sword Sect's realm, there are still many peculiar places worth visiting."
"Among them, there are also many unique Spirit Plants, and you might just find one that catches your eye."
As the two swiftly passed through these peculiar landscapes, Yan Li would stop to give Lu Xuan detailed introductions.
Although Lu Xuan had only arrived here in the form of a White Lotus Incarnation, his sensory experiences were no different from his original body.
He immersed himself in the wondrous and magnificent sights.
Three days later, while the two were exploring an underground cave, Yan Li's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what happened?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"A Core Formation Elder in the Fire Deity Palace has a rather mischievous subordinate, and there was a slight dispute between him and the Spirit Beast you brought."
Yan Li said solemnly.
