Chapter 1209: The Breakthrough of the Demon Ghost Vine
Chapter 1209: The Breakthrough of the Demon Ghost Vine
"If I plan to visit the Heavenly Demon Realm, I will certainly invite you, Senior."
Lu Xuan contemplated for a moment before speaking slowly.
With the existence of the Heavenly Demon Order, he indeed had the intention to explore the Heavenly Demon Realm, and perhaps even attempt to enter the Fallen Dragon Abyss to search for the Azure Dragon Wood and other high-grade spirit seeds.
Now, after learning more secrets about the Heavenly Demon Realm from the Green Horned Thunder Beast, his interest had grown even stronger.
Of course, it was just an idea, and he still needed to make many preparations; he couldn't set off for the Heavenly Demon Realm immediately.
After making a verbal agreement with the Green Horned Thunder Beast, Lu Xuan returned to his cave mansion.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed.
Lu Xuan arrived at a spirit field with rich and pure spiritual energy and began planting over ten spirit seeds in the Genkun Wutu Spirit Soil.
The remaining three Tian Yuan Fruits had all successfully undergone seed condensation, resulting in a total of eleven spirit seeds, which was quite a decent outcome.
"There's no need to rush the refinement of the Turtle Crane Yuan Dan. After obtaining a few more experience packs from the light orbs, I can start pill refinement."
"Of course, the most important thing is to gather enough pill refinement materials before the next batch of Tian Yuan Fruits mature."
The requirements for refining the Turtle Crane Yuan Dan were extremely complex and strict, needing the life essence of seventh-rank demonic turtles and spiritual cranes, supplemented by a large number of high-grade materials.
"It seems even more necessary to make a trip to the Heavenly Demon Realm."
Although the Sword Sect and the merchant guild were helping to gather materials, the difficulty of obtaining the life essence of specific seventh-rank demonic beasts was unimaginable.
Normally, it was rare to encounter seventh-rank demonic beasts in the cultivation world, and even within the Sword Sect, there were only a few protective sect beasts of this caliber, and none of them were seventh-rank demonic turtles or cranes.
But the Heavenly Demon Realm was different; it could be considered the demon race's headquarters, teeming with high-grade demonic beasts. As long as one was determined, they could gather the required materials.
"Additionally, the 'Mystic Refinement Technique' also requires some high-grade demonic beast materials."
He added in his heart.
Having obtained this supreme body refinement technique some time ago, Lu Xuan had been contemplating it for a long time and was well aware of the conditions required in the early stages of cultivation.
"Then I'll have the White Lotus Incarnation make a trip to the Heavenly Demon Realm."
Lu Xuan quickly made his decision.
"It seems like it's been a long time since I've ventured out to explore secret realms."
He chuckled lightly.
"When I go to the Heavenly Demon Realm this time, I should bring the Demon Ghost Vine along."
The Demon Ghost Vine could sense the aura of spirit seeds over a vast area and had contributed greatly to Lu Xuan in the early stages.
After breaking through to the sixth rank, since Lu Xuan had mostly stayed within the Sword Sect and had access to many sources of high-grade spirit seeds, he didn't need to search for them himself, so he had somewhat neglected the Demon Ghost Vine.
Meanwhile, the Demon Ghost Vine had been loitering in the Mystic Peach Forest, living a carefree and enjoyable life.
High-grade spirit plants frequently matured within the cave mansion, and in addition to the most exquisite spirit fruits and flowers, there were also large quantities of branches and leaves brimming with vitality, though they had limited use. Many of these were given to the Demon Ghost Vine to process.
As a result, even though it had been lazing around for all these years, consuming countless high-grade spirit plant branches and leaves, its strength had been gradually increasing.
However, it was still far from breaking through to the seventh rank.
"It seems I'll have to use a drop of eighth-rank Supreme Taiyi Ethereal Dew."
In front of Lu Xuan, a drop of obsidian green aura floated, and with a thought, the Demon Ghost Vine slithered over like a giant snake, its numerous tendrils resembling claws, appearing extremely ferocious.
"You can't catch a wolf without baiting the trap."
"This drop of eighth-rank spirit dew is a reward for you. Don't go to the Mystic Peach Forest for a while, and focus on cultivation for me."
He instructed solemnly.
Although the Demon Ghost Vine enjoyed the unusual feeling brought by the pink miasma, it also understood how hard-earned this opportunity was. The grayish-white giant vine rose high, nodding repeatedly.
"Go."
Lu Xuan waved his hand at it.
Suddenly, his divine sense keenly detected an extremely subtle gaze from a distance.
His divine sense rapidly spread out, and just then, he spotted the Grass Puppet diligently patrolling the numerous Spirit Fields.
The giant grass tumor's head didn't move, and its hollow eye sockets stared straight ahead, as if the subtle gaze Lu Xuan felt was just his imagination.
"This guy..."
"It senses the existence of the Supreme Taiyi Ethereal Dew, but it doesn't show any desire to compete for favor."
Lu Xuan's lips curved upwards.
The Grass Puppet had long ago broken through to the Fifth Rank, but due to its low original rank, the chances of further advancement were slim.
"After all, it's been with me since the Qi Condensation stage. Whether it breaks through or not, I'll leave it to fate."
Lu Xuan smiled.
Right after, a drop of obsidian green aura silently appeared in front of the Grass Puppet.
"This is for you. Cultivate well from now on."
His light words entered the Grass Puppet's ears.
[Error: Untranslatable text detected.]
The Grass Puppet shook its head from side to side, but Lu Xuan's figure was nowhere to be seen.
A dark gray grass rope shot out from its chest, carefully holding the drop of obsidian green aura.
Its eye sockets remained hollow, and the mouth woven from grass ropes seemed to curve upwards slightly.
...
"I haven't even started ripening the Eighth Rank Spirit Plant, and the Supreme Taiyi Ethereal Dew is already down to eight drops."
"What a loss."
Lu Xuan shook his head and sighed.
Although he had prepared to go to the Demon World, he still had to wait for the Demon Ghost Vine to fully digest that drop of Eighth Rank Spirit Plant and also allow the Green Horned Thunder Beast to adapt to its newfound strength.
Therefore, he was patient and stayed within the Sword Sect, cultivating the spirit plants step by step.
During this time, he used some of the wood spirit energy from the Sacred Tree Green Flask to accelerate the maturation of the Myriad Phenomena Grass, which was still in its growth stage.
He obtained several Fifth Rank Myriad Phenomena Pills and absorbed numerous alchemy formula experience packs, while also completing the second Demon Order.
"Everything is ready, except for the right opportunity."
He entered his personal space.
During this period, he had been closely monitoring the Demon Ghost Vine, and according to his speculation, the vine was about to reach the critical moment of its breakthrough.
Indeed, not long after, the spiritual energy in his personal space underwent drastic changes, and a large mass of thunderclouds quietly condensed into form.
"The demon plant's breakthrough to the Seventh Rank also requires enduring a tribulation, but as its master, I can help bear a portion of it."
Lu Xuan's expression turned solemn.
Among all his spirit beasts, he never expected that the Demon Ghost Vine would be the first to attempt a breakthrough to the Seventh Rank.
Under the majestic heavenly might, the numerous spirit beasts were in a state of fear, scattering in all directions. Lu Xuan's divine consciousness split, calming them down before turning his gaze towards the Demon Ghost Vine's location.
In just a few breaths, a massive spiritual energy vortex had formed there, covering an area of several dozen li, and at its very center, the Demon Ghost Vine appeared minuscule.
"Break through without worry; I'm here."
Lu Xuan sent a divine thought towards it.
Instantly, the Demon Ghost Vine's body rapidly expanded, and countless vine tendrils resembling tentacles shot out from all directions, forming a dense forest, while simultaneously absorbing spiritual energy and preparing to resist the tribulation.
A loud rumble echoed.
A silver-white thunderbolt as thick as a bucket descended from the sky, striking the center of the forest. For a moment, streaks of lightning appeared on the tightly woven vines, and countless vines were charred to black ash.
Lu Xuan quietly approached the Demon Ghost Vine, entering the spiritual energy vortex. Deep within his sea of consciousness, the golden thunder mark silently glowed, ready to unleash its power.
