Chapter 1164: Master is Truly Wise!
Chapter 1164: Master is Truly Wise!
"Once we return to the Sword Sect, don’t leak the news that I defeated a Fire Deity Palace Yuanling Cultivator."
Several hundred miles away from the Sword Sect, Lu Xuan, riding his sword light, instructed the White Ape beside him.
Since he had accepted the three bottles of rare spirit spring water gifted by the Fire Deity Palace Elder Yan Liuquan, he had to keep his mouth shut.
Moreover, Lu Xuan had always disliked boasting. Maintaining his persona as a Spirit Herb Master was just fine.
"Master? Easily defeating a Primordial Soul True Monarch is a rare feat. Why not let me boast about it?"
The White Ape asked in confusion.
"Still, we need to be low-key."
Lu Xuan said with a poker face.
The White Ape turned his head, seemingly deep in thought.
"I get it!"
"Master is thinking far ahead, trying to keep your strength a secret from outsiders. Once there’s a chance to clash, you can catch them off guard and gain the upper hand."
"Master is truly wise!"
The White Ape flattered.
"You understand well."
Lu Xuan rarely let his true nature show before the White Ape, raising an eyebrow and smiled.
"However, I don’t have such composure as you do. Defeating that Four-Armed Flame Ape must be well publicized."
"Especially about Master’s other Spirit Beasts!"
The White Ape chuckled.
Lu Xuan didn’t bother with this and led the White Ape to the entrance of the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Formation.
"Lu Junior Brother? Where have you been?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.
"Senior Brother Ji, it’s been a while."
Lu Xuan turned around, and a lean old man quickly arrived in front of him.
It was Ji Changhai, a Yuanling Cultivator from the Celestial Scroll Sword Peak, skilled in talisman creation. They had met and exchanged ideas on talisman creation during the Sword Peak competitions.
"Junior Brother, I went to the Fire Deity Palace to gift some spirit fruits and spirit brews to a senior. I just got back."
He briefly explained his whereabouts to Ji Changhai.
"Ha ha ha, Lu Junior Brother, you rarely leave the sect. This long journey is indeed rare."
Ji Changhai couldn’t help but laugh.
"No choice, I promised a senior before."
Lu Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Furthermore, I also wanted to take this opportunity to travel and hone my will."
He spoke casually.
"Having such thoughts is good."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Without exploring secret realms and traveling, how can one find opportunities and treasures?"
"Lu Junior Brother, you are skilled in sword talism and adept at cultivating sword grass.. Your sword dao cultivation ranks among the top in the entire cultivation world. You can rest assured about your safety."
"Senior Brother Ji is right."
Lu Xuan agreed.
"If there’s an opportunity, let’s explore the various realms and rare secret realms together with other sect members."
Ji Changhai smiled.
"Currently, I’m still focusing on spirit plants. But if the timing is right, I’ll accompany Senior Brother Ji and others to broaden my horizons."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Good! It’s settled then."
"Ji will go ahead."
Mystic symbols emerged on Ji Changhai’s robe, and he vanished directly in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan, with the White Ape, returned to the True Sword Peak Cave Mansion.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, the White Ape let out a long howl.
Soon, the two main rivals, the Thunder Dragon Bull and the Azure Mountain Unicorn, came to see what all the commotion. Numerous Tree Maidens, who were scattered in the spirit fields absorbing the essence of the plants, also came to join the commotion.
"Let me tell you, this time at the Fire Deity Palace, truly shone!"
The White Ape said with a smug.
"Know the Four-Armed Flame Ape?"
"Over a dozen Tree Maidens sat in a row on a Spirit Wood, all shaking their heads.
The Thunder Dragon Bull and Azure Mountain Unicorn also showed a hint of curiosity on their faces.
'A rare beast, with bloodline power not inferior to the Fire God Ape. There's one in the Fire Deity Palace, also of the Sixth Stage, but it broke through many years before me.'
'That fellow is blind and jealous of my good fortune. It even dared to provoke me.'
The White Ape crossed his arms and let out a cold snort.
'I have the backing of the Young Master, so I can't show weakness.'
'Right in front of over a dozen Celestial Commanders, I gave that Four-Armed Flame Ape a good beating.'
'One strike from my Celestial Iron Staff scattered its condensed Dharma form.'
It spoke with an extremely relaxed tone.
'A mere Four-Armed Flame Ape is nothing. After a big battle, not a single hair of mine was harmed.'
'Wow!'
On the branches, over a dozen Tree Maidens exclaimed in crisp admiration, greatly pleasing the White Ape and satisfying his heart's desire.
'Alas, after so many battles with you two, the fights outside can no longer satisfy the passion in my heart.'
The White Ape reached into his ear and the Celestial Iron Staff rapidly enlarged.
'Come, let's raise the stakes.'
He extended his hand, covered in silver-white ape hair, and beckoned to the Thunder Dragon Bull and Azure Mountain Unicorn.
Three rays of spirit light flashed by, and immediately, strange noises reverberated from the back of the cave mansion.
Lu Xuan was used to this, and after removing the restrictions outside the house, he entered.
A Spirit Flower with eight-colored petals lay quietly on the table.
Suddenly, a ray of spirit light surged from the center of the flower, and another Lu Xuan, identical in appearance, materialized inside the house.
'Not bad, your performance outside was good.'
Lu Xuan's main body nodded at the White Lotus Incarnation.
As a precaution, the Spirit Flower naturally couldn't be placed on the White Lotus Incarnation, or there might be a chance of group annihilation.
Staying in the Sword Sect, with the Ninth Stage Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Formation, numerous Nascent Soul Celestial Commanders, and several Nascent Soul True Lords within the sect, there were few places in the entire Cultivation World that could rival the Sword Sect's safety.
He took the Great Sun Flame Wood Spirit Seed and Earthly Yang Spirit Spring from the White Lotus Incarnation and entered his personal space.
He arrived at the region where the Fire of Tusita was fused.
This place had multiple Fire Springs, and the fire spirit energy here was pure and abundant, making it ideal for cultivating the Great Sun Flame Wood.
'The Spirit Soil here is rich in Fire Origin Spirit Qi, which is suitable for the early stages of cultivating the Great Sun Flame Wood.'
He used his Divine Perception to grab a clump of light red Spirit Soil, feeling the faint heat emanating from it, and thought to himself.
After planting the Great Sun Flame Wood Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the numerous Spirit Plants in his personal space.
With his main body remaining in the personal space, all the Spirit Plants here were meticulously nurtured and grew exceptionally well.
Through his Divine Perception, he sensed that the Ninth Stage Yellow and Black Tree Spirit Seed had taken root in the most profound area of the space, quietly absorbing the most primal energy.
The True Qi Black Gourd Spirit Seed was infused with abundant True Essence Mana, showing signs of sprouting.
As for the Supreme Sage Demonic Fruit, a faint Spirit Wind surrounded it, and from time to time, a wisp of pure demonic energy drifted in the wind, seeping into the Spirit Seed.
Sensing Lu Xuan's aura, the Wind Listening Beast with its peculiar form revealed itself, then transformed into a wisp of wind, swirling around him.
'The Five Elements Illusion Fruit is about to fully mature.'
Lu Xuan continued to inspect the newly planted Spirit Plants, including the Heavenly Origin Fruit, and arrived at the area where the Five Elements Illusion Fruit was cultivated.
Although his main body had been in the personal space, he hadn't harvested the Light Orbs, purely wanting to do over a dozen consecutive draws to see if the rewards would be more generous in this mode.
