Chapter 1186: Sacred Grove Sanctuary Clan Prejudice
In the void, Lu Xuan and Lin Jiangyuan stood on a rapidly moving emerald flying boat.
The surface of the boat was adorned with intricate spirit patterns, and layers of spirit light surged, isolating all dangers in the void.
"Lu, it takes about ten days to travel from the Sword Sect to the Divine Timber Sect. You can take this opportunity to rest and recharge," said Lin Jiangyuan.
There was a hint of fatigue in Lin Jiangyuan's expression, but he still smiled at Lu Xuan.
"Lin, I rarely leave the Sword Sect. This is a good chance to experience the various sights in the cultivation world," Lu Xuan casually replied.
"Haha, no wonder Jian Zhen is so concerned about your trip to the Divine Timber Sect," Lin Jiangyuan chuckled.
"Senior Brother knows I'm not skilled in combat, and he's worried that I might encounter some danger," Lu Xuan explained.
"But with two fellow cultivators accompanying me, the journey will definitely be safe," he added quickly.
The flying boat traveled at an incredible speed, and they didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, even arriving at the Divine Timber Sect half a day earlier than expected.
The Divine Timber Sect was located in an endless mountain range, and the most eye-catching feature was the countless towering spirit trees.
The entire sect was formed by countless spirit trees of various shapes, each thousands or tens of thousands of feet tall, and the rich vitality could be felt from dozens of miles away.
"This environment is indeed suitable for various spirit plants to grow. No wonder your sect is renowned throughout the cultivation world for its expertise in spirit planting," Lu Xuan and Lin Jiangyuan praised as they descended.
"You're too kind, Lu. Compared to the Sword Sect, we still have a long way to go," Lin Jiangyuan smiled and changed the topic.
"Since the ten-thousand-year spirit trees grow within the sect's sanctuary, and considering your special identity, you'll need to inform the Sect Leader and the elders before entering," Zhang Jingxian slowly explained.
"Please allow me to accompany Lin Shidi to rest first, and we'll depart for the Divine Timber Sanctuary tomorrow," he added.
"No problem. This way, Lin can show you around the Divine Timber Sect," Lu Xuan agreed cheerfully.
The two entered a majestic palace, and immediately, several beautiful girls with exceptional appearances served them with spirit fruits and spirit brews.
"Lu, the spirit brew made by the Divine Timber Sect is not inferior to the five-stage spirit brews you have. Please give it a try," one of the girls said.
"Sure," Lu Xuan smiled and picked up the white jade cup, swirling the amber-colored spirit brew inside. He took a small sip.
"The taste is rich and lingering, with a balanced and harmonious flavor. It seems to have the effect of quickly restoring one's spiritual power. It's indeed excellent," Lu Xuan said, savoring the brew and expressing satisfaction.
"Haha, Lu, you're truly impressive. You've immediately grasped the essence of this spirit brew," Lin Jiangyuan laughed heartily.
After indulging in the spirit fruits and brews, he took Lu Xuan on a tour of the Divine Timber Sect, fulfilling his role as a hospitable host.
The next day, the two arrived early at Lu Xuan's resting place.
"Please lead the way, fellow cultivators. I'm ready," said Lu Xuan, who had transformed into a white lotus, as he stepped out of the house with a smile.
"Thank you, Lu," they replied, their expressions serious.
Zhang Jingxian took out a green spirit leaf from his storage bag. The veins on the leaf were slightly raised, resembling human meridians.
He channeled a large amount of spiritual power into the leaf's veins, and soon, the leaf emitted layers of green light, enveloping the three of them as they disappeared.
In the chaotic void, Lu Xuan entered a divine space.
The entire space was filled with varying shades of green, brimming with lush vitality. Several towering trees seemed to support the very heavens, and his divine sense couldn't reach the end.
In the distance, he could sense heavy restrictions and faintly perceive the rich vitality within, indicating the cultivation of high-level spirit plants.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the Sacred Grove Sanctuary, a place filled with high-level spirit plants and several Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Trees. For our Sacred Grove Sect, it holds immense strategic value. I ask that you keep the secrets of this place to yourself." Zhang Jingxian spoke with gravity.
Lu Xuan immediately retracted his divine sense, his expression unchanged, and quickly assured, "Fellow Daoists, Lu Xuan will not overstep his bounds, and I guarantee that I will not spread what I see and hear here."
"Good, please follow me, Fellow Daoist Lu." Zhang Jingxian felt slightly relieved by Lu Xuan's attitude.
Lu Xuan's visit to the Sacred Grove Sanctuary was at the personal invitation of the two from the Dao Profound Sword Sect. It would be unreasonable to ask Lu Xuan to take a heart demon oath, so they had to trust in his character.
In the distance, two streaks of emerald spirit light shot towards them at incredible speed, landing in front of the three in the blink of an eye.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, allow me to introduce you. These two are the Sacred Grove Sect cultivators guarding the Sacred Grove Sanctuary."
"This is Senior Brother Mu Yuan Shan, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He has been in the Sacred Grove Sanctuary for hundreds of years, primarily responsible for cultivating, maintaining, and caring for the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Trees." Lin Jiangyuan pointed to a middle-aged cultivator with a cold and stern expression.
"This is Junior Brother Jiang Heng Bai, an Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. He assists Senior Brother Mu in maintaining and cleaning the Sacred Grove Sanctuary."
He then introduced a tall and slender young man with sharp eyes to Lu Xuan.
"Senior Brother Mu, Junior Brother Jiang, this is Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, from the Dao Profound Sword Sect. He is incredibly accomplished in the art of spirit planting."
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu." Mu Yuan Shan nodded slightly.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists." Lu Xuan smiled in response.
"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Lin, why bring an outsider into the Sacred Grove Sanctuary?" The slender youth glanced at Lu Xuan and frowned.
"Junior Brother Jiang, watch your words!" Zhang Jingxian's face flashed with anger.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is our guest from afar. Your rudeness reflects poorly on our Sacred Grove Sect!" He scolded sternly.
"I just think that if the Sacred Grove Sect can't solve the spirit plant issue, an outsider will have an even harder time."
"More importantly, we don't want to expose our sect's sanctuary to outsiders." The slender cultivator lowered his head, his tone softening, but he couldn't help but retort.
"When is this? You're still thinking about these things?!" Zhang Jingxian's anger intensified.
"If the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Trees wither and die, can you bear that responsibility?!"
"Only by setting aside clan prejudices and learning from various sects can we possibly solve the spirit tree problem."
"Straighten up your attitude, or don't blame me for being heartless." He spoke coldly to the slender youth, and the green bamboo cane in his hand glowed with spirit light.
If the junior brother before him continued to argue, Zhang Jingxian would have to clear the obstacle to ensure Lu Xuan's peace of mind in inspecting the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Trees.
The youth's lips trembled, and he eventually chose silence, following behind the group with his head lowered.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please excuse his behavior. Don't take Junior Brother Jiang's words to heart."
"Junior Brother Jiang is responsible for guarding the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Trees. If the trees encounter any issues, he and Senior Brother Mu are the most anxious."
"If the problem persists, their anxiety might lead to momentary distrust towards you, Fellow Daoist. Please understand, and I, Zhang, guarantee that he won't interfere with your work, Fellow Daoist Lu." Zhang Jingxian apologized to Lu Xuan through sound transmission.
"No problem, let's go and take a look at the trees first." Lu Xuan chuckled lightly in response.
