Chapter 1207: Forced Life Extension
Chapter 1207: Forced Life Extension
"So far, I've collected six types of True Spirit Essence Blood to nurture this Nine True Spirit Leaf."
Within his personal space.
Lu Xuan stood before the Nine True Spirit Leaf, sighing softly.
The spirit leaf unfurled five giant leaves, each resembling a unique world. Various types of true spirit shadows were crawling or hovering, vividly merging with the spirit leaf.
The surrounding spiritual energy constantly changed, and at first glance, the forms resembled the several true spirit shadows within the spirit leaf.
"True Dragon, Celestial Phoenix, Qilin, Xuanwu Turtle, Kunpeng, and the recently obtained Five-Colored Peacock Essence Blood."
With a thought, the drop of colorful and bizarre essence blood slowly floated out, silently seeping into the Nine True Spirit Leaf.
"Among them, I obtained a drop of True Dragon Essence Blood from the Light Orb of the Transforming Dragon Grass, a drop of Qilin Essence Blood from Qingyue Lin's breakthrough, and the Five-Colored Peacock Essence Blood from the Sword Sect."
"Although the cost was the ownership of that incomplete Cave Heaven, it's a fair trade for three drops of True Spirit Essence Blood, and I've fulfilled my promise to Senior Artifact Spirit."
"If Senior Artifact Spirit doesn't obtain the other three types of True Spirit Essence Blood, then don't blame me for being ruthless and taking drastic measures."
Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly.
Obtaining three drops of True Spirit Essence Blood was already going above and beyond, and if he were to offer more, it would be a different matter entirely.
"I should remind Wood Patriarch to pass on the message."
After nurturing the Nine True Spirit Leaf, Lu Xuan continued to inspect the numerous spirit plants and care for the spirit beasts in his personal space.
Reaching the edge of the lake, the Fire Qilin and the Crocodile Dragon sensed his presence and leaped out from the lake bottom, creating towering waves.
"Hmm? Their strength has increased significantly. It seems that the Ancient Dragon Corpse has taken effect."
Lu Xuan scanned with his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.
He had buried the Eighth Stage Ancient Dragon Corpse in the lake bottom of his personal space, nurturing the Fire Qilin and the Crocodile Dragon while primarily aiming to obtain a Dragon Qi Spirit Ground.
After several decades, the initial results were showing. The lake contained extremely faint dragon qi, and the Fire Qilin and the Crocodile Dragon, growing in such an environment, would benefit from increased strength and the purification of their dragon bloodline.
"As for the Rock-Armored Turtle and the Dragon Carp, either their rank is too low or their bloodline is ordinary, and there's no noticeable change for now."
Lu Xuan pondered silently.
When he obtained the Five-Colored Peacock Essence Blood from Jian Tong, he also learned that there was a drop of Xuanwu Turtle Essence Blood in the sect's treasure vault. After some hesitation, he decided not to exchange it.
After all, opportunities to obtain treasures from the sect's vault were rare, and he had to make the most of them.
More importantly, the Rock-Armored Turtle was just an ordinary Fifth Stage spirit beast with a common bloodline, making it difficult to break free from its limitations. Even with the Xuanwu Turtle Essence Blood, it was unlikely to become a Seventh Stage spirit beast.
After nurturing the various spirit plants, Lu Xuan entered the Thunder Beast Spirit Ground, a territory he had cultivated for many years.
The area was filled with thunderballs of various sizes, each with a strand of wandering thunder light hanging behind it, resembling tadpoles in a pool.
The forbidden ground had taken shape, but Lu Xuan didn't bother with any defenses, easily entering the central area.
Two Yin Wood Green Thunder Vines grew in the thunder pool, and at the ends of a few deep green vines, one could see the condensation of azure-green thunder essence.
Not far away, the improved Fifth Stage Thunder Slaughter Lotus was planted.
The spirit field was filled with scattered thunder light, exuding a dangerous aura.
If the Fourth Stage Thunderstorm Lotus was on the verge of erupting, then the Fifth Stage Thunder Slaughter Lotus was even more ferocious, exuding a murderous aura.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan's physical body was robust, so he wasn't affected by the scattered thunder light.
After carefully nurturing the Thunder Slaughter Lotus, he entered the Thunder Beast clan and silently approached the Green Horned Thunder Beast.
"Lu Xuan, you're here to tend to your Spirit Plants again?"
The truly thunderous snoring beast, the Green Horned Thunder Beast, stirred from its slumber, lying on the ground like a small mountain, its nostrils and mouth emitting silver-white thunderous light.
"Yes, I came by to check on you as well, Senior."
Lu Xuan greeted with a bow.
"There's nothing much to see in a dying beast."
The Green Horned Thunder Beast spoke indifferently, as if its impending demise was not its own.
"I'll help you clean up the newly grown Thunder Death Crystals."
Lu Xuan said, and in a flash, he appeared on the Thunder Beast's back, his divine sense probing into its body.
"Although it's been some time since I last cleaned the Thunder Death Crystals, the growth and spread of them are indeed too fast."
He marveled inwardly, not feeling any joy at the prospect of obtaining a large number of Fifth Stage treasures.
"The rate at which the Thunder Beast is losing its vitality is faster than before."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"The Sky Origin Fruit still needs some time to mature, but I can't afford to wait. Fortunately, the two Sacred Tree Green Flasks contain ample Wood Spiritual Qi, so I can directly hasten its ripening."
If he could obtain another Seventh Stage Turtle Crane Yuan Dan from the Sky Origin Fruit's light orb, he planned to give one to the Thunder Beast.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept the situation.
Despite their different statuses, Lu Xuan and the Green Horned Thunder Beast shared a profound connection, and their friendship ran deep. Naturally, he couldn't bear to see this unique beast, which had helped him numerous times, pass away.
Moreover, he currently possessed five Sky Origin Fruit Spirit Plants and had mastered the method to condense their seeds, ensuring he would never lack longevity treasures in the future.
"Senior, you have quite a number of Thunder Death Crystals on your body."
He said softly as he extracted the crystals from the Thunder Beast's body.
"You must have realized that after living for tens of thousands of years, it's almost time for me to kick the bucket."
The Green Horned Thunder Beast shook its shoulders, shifting Lu Xuan to the other side of its body, indicating for him to continue the cleaning.
Back then, in the Thunder Sea, when besieged by three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, it was Lu Xuan's Seventh Stage Turtle Crane Yuan Dan that allowed the beast to extend its lifespan by over a hundred years, regain its peak condition, and repel the three Nascent Soul Cultivators in one fell swoop.
Now, over a hundred years later, it had returned to its previous feeble state.
"What? Are you hoping for my swift demise so you can inherit my treasures and conveniently nurture a Thunder-attributed Spirit Ground?"
The Green Horned Thunder Beast feigned anger.
"Junior would never dare to have such blasphemous thoughts."
Lu Xuan vehemently denied.
"But, are you content with this outcome, Senior?"
"What else can I do?"
The Green Horned Thunder Beast's voice boomed like muffled thunder in Lu Xuan's ear.
It was as if the beast was both questioning Lu Xuan and itself.
After living for tens of thousands of years, who could accept merely waiting for death? With its formidable power and unique Thunder Techniques, it was reluctant to turn into a handful of dust.
Yet, it was powerless, unable to find a breakthrough, and could only wait for death in solitude.
"Enough, you don't need to worry about me. After I'm gone, just take good care of those little ones."
After Lu Xuan finished his work on the beast's body, the Green Horned Thunder Beast felt a sense of relief.
"Of course."
"However, Junior might be able to help you live a little longer."
A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
With the existence of the Sky Origin Fruit's light orb, he had the ability to forcibly extend the Thunder Beast's life!
