Chapter 1226: The Elusive Treasure
Chapter 1226: The Elusive Treasure
The newly cultivated 'Sura Life-Slaying Sword' technique was especially suitable for the White Lotus Incarnation, allowing one to channel all their blood essence into the sword art, resulting in unimaginable destructive power.
Lu Xuan entered his personal space, and with a thought, the White Lotus Incarnation appeared before him.
After imparting this powerful sword technique that could injure a thousand enemies at the cost of self-damage, Lu Xuan returned to his cave mansion.
He had previously cultivated three seeds of the Soul Annihilation Prison Grass, which he had improved upon. After harvesting one, he used the other two for Seed Condensation.
"A Fifth Rank Sword Herb... especially one with such powerful killing intent, it's bound to attract the attention of some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from our sect," Lu Xuan mused, referring to the Fifth Rank Sword Herb.
At the center of the sword herb field, the Boundless Sword Grass thrived, surrounded by countless sword lights that flickered in and out of existence, shrouded in mystery.
Next to it was the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword Grass, also of the Seventh Rank, emanating an increasingly chilling sword intent, as if it could freeze Lu Xuan's flesh and soul.
The Eighth Rank Solitary Extinction Sword Grass was still in its early growth stage, barely reaching a foot tall, and its entire body was deep and mysterious, as if it were absorbing all the spiritual energy around it.
Lu Xuan, surrounded by countless sword auras, entered the Spirit Field and performed the corresponding sword techniques to nurture these high-grade sword herbs.
Half a year passed without him even realizing it.
As Lu Xuan was brewing the True Sword Liquid, a message talisman arrived outside his cave mansion.
"Has Senior Brother Jin returned?" Lu Xuan muttered as he released the talisman from his forehead.
He remembered that several years ago, Senior Brother Jin Zaiqian had chosen to travel through the realms to find treasures that could extend his lifespan, and he had returned sooner than expected.
The talisman not only informed Lu Xuan of Jin Zaiqian's return but also invited him to gather and celebrate Jin Zaiqian's safe return.
Lu Xuan arrived at Jin Zaiqian's cave mansion with two bottles of Spirit Brew in hand.
"Senior Brother Jin, congratulations on your safe return," Lu Xuan said, offering the Spirit Brew to Jin Zaiqian's Core Formation disciple with a smile.
"Junior Brother Lu, it's been years since we last met, and your cultivation has become even more profound," Jin Zaiqian praised as he welcomed Lu Xuan into his cave mansion.
"Junior Brother Lu," another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator greeted Lu Xuan.
"It's been a while since we last saw you, Junior Brother."
As soon as Lu Xuan entered, several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the same sect stood up to greet him.
Lu Xuan smiled and returned their greetings.
The cultivators present had all advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm much earlier than him, but their attitudes clearly showed Lu Xuan's high status within the True Sword Peak.
"Senior Brother Jin, did you find any high-grade longevity treasures during your journey?" a sharp-eyed young swordsman asked during the gathering.
"I found a few, but none of them were truly satisfactory," Jin Zaiqian sighed.
"One was a longevity cultivation technique that required starting from scratch and only reached the Core Formation Realm, with no further progress."
"Another was a Fifth Rank Longevity Spirit Pill and a Sixth Rank Essence Spirit Pill."
"The Essence Spirit Pill was obtained after much effort at an auction."
"These three treasures, when combined, can only extend one's lifespan by a limited amount."
After all, Jin Zaiqian was a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Sword Sect, and his ability to find three longevity treasures in a short time was a testament to his efficiency.
"Finding three is already quite an achievement," Lu Xuan commented.
"Indeed, longevity treasures are extremely rare, and those of the Seventh Rank are even harder to come by. Once they appear, countless Nascent Soul Realm elders will scramble for them," Yuan Rong added softly.
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, despite their long lifespans, were not immune to the end of life. Countless old monsters with limited time left were hidden throughout the cultivation world, and the presence of high-grade longevity treasures would undoubtedly attract many of them.
"Brother Lu, you're an expert in cultivating Spirit Plants. Do you happen to have any longevity-extending Spirit Fruits or Flowers?" Yuan Rong turned to Lu Xuan and asked, while the others' eyes lit up with curiosity.
"You're all giving me too much credit, senior brothers and sisters," Lu Xuan said with a wry smile. "It's not easy to find longevity-extending Spirit Plants. In the past two hundred years, I've only come across a handful of such plants."
"But recently, I was fortunate enough to obtain a Sixth-Rank Tian Yuan Fruit. If it matures, I'll consider giving it to you all first." Lu Xuan added.
A new batch of Tian Yuan Fruits was in the growth stage, but the life essence of the Demon Turtle and Spirit Crane was insufficient, and he had only absorbed one Alchemy Formula Experience Pack. Therefore, it would take some time before he could stably refine the Seventh-Rank Turtle Crane Essence Pill.
However, if he did manage to refine a few, he would indeed prioritize his fellow Sword Peak disciples.
"Haha, Brother Lu, how long I can live in the future depends on you!" a refined cultivator laughed heartily.
The group had finally gathered together, and they casually discussed various matters, big and small, related to the cultivation world.
"Have you all heard that the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace is about to open?" Jin Qian asked with a smile.
"The Kun Yuan Immortal Palace?" Lu Xuan asked, his face filled with confusion.
"Brother Lu, you've only been a Nascent Soul Cultivator for a few decades, so it's understandable that you're unaware of the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace," Yuan Rong explained.
"That Immortal Palace floats in the vast void, wandering through the various heavenly domains. It is said to be the place where a Divine Transformation expert entered seclusion, and within it lies the cultivation technique and treasures for ascending to the Divine Transformation realm."
"It only opens once every few hundred years, and each time it does, numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators enter to compete for opportunities and treasures." Yuan Rong elaborated.
"The cultivation technique and treasures of a Divine Transformation expert?" Lu Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise.
"That's right. If we're lucky enough to obtain them, we might be able to take another step forward and ascend to the Divine Transformation realm."
"Senior Sister Yuan is right," Lu Xuan said, his face filled with appropriate anticipation.
"Brother Lu, are you interested in entering the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace to take a look?" Yuan Rong asked.
"Senior Sister Yuan, entering it probably won't be that simple, right?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Indeed. You need to possess the Immortal Palace's token to be qualified to enter. However, it won't fully open for many years, so we can think of ways to obtain the token," Yuan Rong replied.
"Then, Brother Lu, you should stay at the Sword Sect. By the time the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace opens, you might have successfully cultivated the Tian Yuan Fruit," Yuan Rong suggested.
"What a pity. Missing such an opportunity, we'll have to wait for the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace to open again in a few hundred years," Yuan Rong sighed.
"There's no other way. Those who enter the Immortal Palace are undoubtedly powerful Nascent Soul Cultivators who have experienced countless life-and-death battles and are skilled in combat," Yuan Rong said.
"I, Brother Lu, haven't been a Nascent Soul Cultivator for long, and my focus has been on cultivating Spirit Plants. Even if I were to obtain the Immortal Palace's token by chance, I'd only be making up the numbers upon entering," Lu Xuan sighed lightly.
Although he had confidence in his current strength, he was hesitant to take risks without absolute certainty. After all, according to Yuan Rong, the Immortal Palace attracted numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the treasures obtained through great effort might not even compare to the rewards from the Light Orbs.
"Senior brothers and sisters, if you manage to enter the Kun Yuan Immortal Palace and obtain a high-grade Spirit Seed or two, please keep one for me," Lu Xuan said with a smile and a bow.
"I'll definitely offer compensation that will satisfy you all."
