Chapter 1191: The Request
Chapter 1191: The Request
"The situation that occurred within the Shenmu Heavenly Cavern is indeed a bit unfair to you, young friend."
Wen Wan, the gentle woman, spoke softly, aware of her fault.
After all, Lu Xuan was from the Sword Sect, and in a certain sense, he represented the Dao Profound Sword Sect. Coming to help the Shenmu Sect resolve the issue with the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees was already extremely kind of him.
But within the Shenmu Heavenly Cavern, he encountered a dangerous situation and even had to use a rare and precious treasure to summon the Sword Sect's Divine Transformation clone.
Not to mention the reward, he almost lost his life.
More importantly, she had just learned from Zhang Jingxian that Lu Xuan played a significant role in resolving the issue with that demonic spirit.
First, he noticed something amiss with Mu Yuanshan, which led to the early exposure of the demonic spirit. During the intense battle with the spirit, Lu Xuan also contributed significantly, helping to hold it off and preventing it from focusing all its efforts on Zhang Jingxian, thus buying precious time for the Sword Sect's Divine Transformation clone to arrive.
If that demonic spirit had continued to lurk within the Shenmu Heavenly Cavern, plundering the vitality of the other Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees, the resulting losses would have been immeasurable.
Given all this, it would be inappropriate for the Shenmu Sect not to express their gratitude.
"Rest assured, Elder Gu, everyone has witnessed this young friend's contributions, and we won't let him suffer any losses," Wen Wan said with a smile.
"However, there's something I don't quite understand. How did you detect the presence of that demonic spirit?"
"Also, could you please help our sect examine the other Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees to prevent similar situations from happening again?"
"Elder, I have an extremely strong natural affinity with spirit plants. I can vaguely sense their vitality and aura, and when I was with several Shenmu Sect friends, I had a hunch that something was off with Mu Yuanshan," Lu Xuan replied logically.
"Later, I found an opportunity to inform Elder Lin, and I hid in the restriction ahead of time, which allowed me to gather evidence of Mu Yuanshan's theft of the spiritual tree's vitality."
Lu Xuan explained his actions clearly.
Naturally, he wouldn't reveal his special abilities or the existence of the light orb, but he could let others know about his approximate talent with spirit plants, thus better establishing his reputation as a spirit plant expert.
"It's a shame that such a strong talent for spirit plants isn't within our Shenmu Sect," Wen Wan said softly.
The Shenmu Sect also had many talented spirit plant cultivators, but none of them had discovered the abnormalities in Mu Yuanshan or the mutated spiritual tree. Thinking of this, she felt a twinge of envy.
"Wood Daoist, Lu Xuan is in our Shenmu Sect."
Wen Wan spoke softly.
The Shenmu Sect also had many talented spirit plant experts, but none of them had discovered the abnormalities with Mu Yuanshan and the mutated spiritual tree. Thinking of this, a hint of envy arose in her heart.
"Elder Wu, Lu Xuan is now a treasure of our Sword Sect. Are you trying to poach him in front of me, hoping for my main body to come here?"
The Jian Tong doll spoke indifferently.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
"Please help us examine the remaining Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees in the Heavenly Cavern. Elder Gu and I will stay here to support you."
"Yes, Elder."
Lu Xuan quickly agreed, and Zhang Jingxian and Lin Jiangyuan accompanied him as they hurried towards the location of the spiritual trees. As for Jiang Hengbai, his injuries were severe, so he returned to the Shenmu Sect for treatment first.
Lu Xuan and the two elders arrived at the spiritual trees and pretended to examine them. Then, he quietly infused a strand of Green Wood Essence into the tree's body.
If a demonic spirit, huh? Quite an interesting challenge," Lu Xuan said with a smirk.
"But I must say, Elder Wen, your trust in me is well-placed. I'll gladly assist in examining the remaining Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees. It's the least I can do to repay your kindness," Lu Xuan added, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Wen Wan and Zhang Jingxian exchanged glances, a silent conversation passing between them.
"Very well, we'll accompany you, Lu Xuan. Let's ensure the safety of these precious trees," Zhang Jingxian said, his tone carrying a hint of unease.
The three of them swiftly made their way to the location of the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees. Jiang Hengbai, his injuries still severe, returned to the Shenmu Sect for treatment.
Upon reaching the trees, Lu Xuan put on a show of examining them, and then quietly infused a strand of Green Wood Essence into one of the trees.
If a demonic spirit had taken root within the tree, he would be able to gather the necessary information from it.
"Lu Xuan, thank you for your assistance," Zhang Jingxian said, his voice carrying a hint of admiration.
"We're both at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, and I achieved it a decade or two before you. Yet, your strength surpasses mine by such a large margin," Lin Jiangyuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Indeed, being from the Sword Sect, your foundations are profound and unfathomable. With the divine abilities you possess, you might even be able to contend with a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator," Zhang Jingxian agreed.
As Lu Xuan carefully examined each Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Tree, he also took the opportunity to inspect the other high-grade Spirit Plants.
"Young friend, how is it?" The gentle-voiced female cultivator, accompanied by various small spirits fluttering around her, asked as she returned to the two Divine Transformation Ancestors.
"Senior Nephew Zhang and I have carefully inspected every tree, but we didn't find any abnormalities."
"Good."
"It's no trouble to stay here. Please, Gu Daoyou, bring your young friend, and let's return to the Divine Timber Sect to discuss the next steps."
"Nephew Zhang, you stay in the Heavenly Cavern for now. If you discover any abnormalities, remember to notify me immediately."
Although the Demonic Spirit had been dealt with, the Divine Transformation cultivator from the Divine Timber Sect still left Zhang Jingxian in the Heavenly Cavern as a precaution.
"Alright, let's go and sit in the Divine Timber Sect."
The Sword Puppet Doll stood on Lu Xuan's shoulder, nodding lightly.
Suddenly, a green light appeared under Lu Xuan's feet, and in an instant, it formed a seven-colored lotus flower that carried him into the void.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a majestic palace.
"This young friend has resolved a major crisis for our sect, and we are eternally grateful."
"We are now prepared to reward you handsomely. Please feel free to express any requests for treasures, and the Divine Timber Sect will strive to fulfill them."
The Divine Transformation female cultivator from the Divine Timber Sect asked softly, paying no attention to the spirit puppet, the divided spirit of Gu Yang Zhen.
Although Gu Yang Zhen had played a decisive role this time, it was Lu Xuan who discovered the Demonic Spirit and summoned the spirit puppet, so his contribution was greater.
Most importantly, offering a treasure that would satisfy a Divine Transformation cultivator was not an easy task, and Gu Yang Zhen's words seemed to favor Lu Xuan, the junior, so she directly asked him.
"Requests..."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.
"I have been obsessed with various Spirit Plants and corresponding treasures all my life. I don't need artifacts or pills; I only hope to obtain high-grade Spirit Seeds or other corresponding treasures."
"I've heard that your sect possesses a rare treasure capable of ripening high-grade Spirit Plants. If possible, I hope you will bestow it upon me."
He was almost explicitly asking for the Divine Timber Green Flask.
Originally, he thought that as long as he helped resolve the issue with the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees, he could find a suitable opportunity to make a request to the Divine Timber Sect, completing the Divine Timber Green Flask in his possession.
As for its origin, he could just make up an excuse to get by.
But with the appearance of the Demonic Spirit, the Divine Transformation cultivator had no choice but to use the spirit puppet, making the situation ten times more serious. He had every right to make a bold request.
Would it be unreasonable to directly obtain a Divine Timber Green Flask? Lu Xuan glanced at the Sword Puppet Doll sitting on his shoulder with its eyes closed, feeling confident.
"The young friend is indeed a pure Spirit Plant master."
The Divine Transformation cultivator from the Divine Timber Sect was a little surprised by Lu Xuan's request.
She had prepared to offer a mid-grade artifact, but Lu Xuan had no such intentions.
"High-grade Spirit Seeds... and a treasure to ripen high-grade Spirit Plants... these are all acceptable."
She nodded lightly.
