Chapter 1163: Great Sun Flame Wood
"Lu Xuan, it's been a while since we last met."
A deep voice sounded beside Lu Xuan, and then, a tall elder with a crimson face appeared before everyone.
With each breath, he exhaled a scorching aura, leaving countless crimson fire sparks in his wake. His aura was like an abyss, vast as the ocean, and he possessed the cultivation base of the late Nascent Soul stage—the same Fire Deity Palace Elder, Yan Liuquan, who had accompanied the Fire God Ape to visit the old Sword Dragon when they first met.
"Elder Yan," Lu Xuan said respectfully, putting away the Five Thunder Immortal Lock Bracelet.
"It's indeed a strange and precious treasure."
Yan Liuquan sighed, then his expression turned serious, and he changed the topic.
"Just now, Junior Brother Zhuang lost his composure for a moment and almost caused a major accident. I hope you can forgive him, Lu."
"I'll apologize on his behalf here."
"Elder Yan, please don't!" Lu Xuan quickly stopped him as he saw the elder about to bow in apology.
"Sparring and fighting can easily get heated, and it's normal for tempers to flare."
"Junior Brother Zhuang has exquisite cultivation and formidable strength. I was merely fortunate to have the advantage of my treasure, allowing me to win by a stroke of luck."
He spoke humbly.
"Treasures are also a manifestation of one's strength."
"In the end, it's still that Junior Brother Zhuang's skills fell short."
Yan Liuquan said slowly.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a hint of dissatisfaction towards Zhuang Chunqiu for his defeat.
As fellow cultivators of the Fire Deity Palace, he naturally expected Zhuang Chunqiu to win effortlessly.
But instead, he had inadvertently boosted Lu Xuan's prestige.
Having reached the Nascent Soul stage over a hundred years ago and possessing home ground advantage, along with abundant combat experience, he was still no match for a Spirit Herb Master from the Sword Sect.
If this news spread, it would undoubtedly invite ridicule from the cultivation world.
"However, the Sword Sect's foundation is indeed profound. Whether it's the seventh-grade Heavenly Star Sword Formation or the restraint-type bracelet, both are extremely rare and precious among treasures of the same grade, yet they appeared on a Spirit Herb Master like Lu."
He couldn't help but marvel at the Sword Sect's audacity.
"By the way, Lu, a bet is a bet."
"Junior Brother Zhuang needs some rest, so I've brought the seventh-grade Spirit Seed that he promised you."
Yan Liuquan held out a peculiar Spirit Seed.
The Spirit Seed was oval-shaped, with a crimson exterior and an intensely bright interior, like a blazing sun within.
"This Spirit Seed is called the Great Sun Flame Wood, a high-grade Spirit Plant with fire attributes."
Yan Liuquan introduced it to Lu Xuan.
"The Great Sun Flame Wood needs to be planted in an environment rich in fire essence, and then nurtured with fire attribute Spirit Springs and Spirit Soil."
"The general cultivation method is like this, but for the specific details, Lu, as the most renowned Spirit Herb Master in the Sword Sect, should know better than me."
"Thank you, Elder Yan, for the reminder. In that case, I won't be polite."
Lu Xuan smiled and took the crimson Spirit Seed, putting it away.
"Lu, these two incidents were caused by the Fire Deity Palace's Spirit Beast and cultivator, respectively. Please accept our apologies for the poor hospitality."
"Here are three bottles of sixth-grade Spirit Liquid, known as Earthly Yang Spirit Spring, collected from a strange fire spring deep underground. It's considered a specialty of the Fire Deity Palace, and it can assist in pill refinement while also nurturing fire attribute Spirit Plants."
"Consider it a small compensation for you, Lu."
Yan Liuquan's tone carried a hint of apology.
"Thank you, Elder Yan."
"This sparring match was just a friendly exchange, and neither I personally nor the Sword Sect will be affected in the slightest."
As the late Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Fire Deity Palace took the initiative to smooth things over, Lu Xuan didn't refuse. He immediately accepted the three bottles of Earthly Yang Spirit Spring and smiled.
In Yan Liuquan's initiative, the minor dispute was resolved, and the only one injured was Zhuang Chunqiu and his Four-Armed Flame Ape.
Led by Flame Departure, Lu Xuan continued his tour of the Fire Deity Palace and some of the nearby exotic regions.
The myriad wonders he witnessed, which he had never left the Sword Sect to see, left him in awe and full of praise.
The spell combat within the Fire Deity Palace also earned him more respect.
Previously, he was regarded as just a Spirit Herb Master from the Sword Sect, and the reception was friendly. But upon learning of Lu Xuan's approximate strength, the attitude became much warmer.
Lu Xuan stayed in the Fire Deity Palace for about ten days before bidding farewell to the Fire Deity Ape, Flame Departure, and other cultivators.
After leaving the Fire Deity Palace, he controlled the Flower Alluring Slave to observe for a long time. Seeing no abnormalities, he took out the Giant Sword Boat and plunged into the void.
Inside the Giant Sword Boat.
He drove the White Ape into another room and took out the Great Sun Flame Wood Spirit Seed.
Then, a pile of Spirit Soil appeared in his palm, and he placed the Spirit Seed within it.
Lu Xuan's mind focused on the Spirit Seed, and he instantly gained detailed information about it.
【Great Sun Flame Wood, a Seventh Stage Spirit Plant, requires cultivation in an environment rich in Fire Spirit Qi. It is nurtured and cultivated by high-grade Fire Attribute Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil. The mature Spirit Wood contains abundant Great Sun True Fire Qi, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas. It can refine high-grade Fire-attributed Intermediate-grade Magical Treasures.】
"Indeed, it's a Seventh Stage Spirit Seed. I obtained it effortlessly without spending anything."
The joy of getting something for nothing brought a smile to Lu Xuan's face.
"Fire Spirit Land..."
"There's a rudimentary Spirit Land within my Personal Space, which is more than suitable for nurturing the Great Sun Flame Wood in its early stages."
"As for the Fire Attribute Spirit Spring and Spirit Soil, the Spirit Spring has the Earthly Yang Spirit Spring, and the Spirit Soil can be collected with the help of the Commerce."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
After putting away the Crimson Golden Lotus Seeds, he sat idle in the Giant Sword Boat, reviewing the spell combat with the Fire Deity Palace cultivators.
"With the White Lotus Incarnation's current strength, it should be able to defeat many early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators."
During the combat, he had revealed only a fraction of his abilities. His Divine Perception and Physical Body were above average for his stage, and his mastery of Sword Dao was evident in his Sword Beam Division, Sword Aura Thunder Sound, Sword Arrays, and the possession of two Seventh Stage Treasures: the Heavenly Star Sword Formation and the Five Thunder Immortal Lock Bracelet.
"With just these abilities, I could easily defeat an early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivator. If I add the Immovable Bodhimanda Seal, Minor Teleportation Technique, various Thunder Techniques, the Yin-Yang Magnetic Divine Needle, and other rare treasures, I should be able to defeat at least three early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators."
"If I go all out, I should be able to defeat not just one but several early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators."
"As for the mid-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators, even if I can't win, escaping without trouble shouldn't be a problem."
After reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, each minor realm seemed to have a small gap, but in reality, there was a huge chasm. In the Cultivation World, defeating opponents of higher realms was as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.
Lu Xuan possessed various divine treasures and techniques, which gave him some confidence. Still, without practical experience, he couldn't know the actual outcome.
"I still don't have enough Light Orbs. There are so many Seventh Stage Spirit Plants in my Personal Space; this time, when I return to the Sword Sect, I should harvest some Light Orb rewards."
He sighed inwardly.
Although his main body remained in the Personal Space, and only the White Lotus Incarnation was out and about, he still didn't feel entirely secure.
Fortunately, he had been cultivating several Seventh Stage Spirit Plants for many years, and with the help of the Spirit Plant Maturation Technique, harvesting Light Orb rewards was within reach.
"What's the solution to my worries? Light Orbs, of course."
His heart yearned to return, and he rode the Giant Sword Boat back to the Sword Sect.
