Chapter 1232: Ge Pu's Jiejing
Chapter 1232: Ge Pu's Jiejing
After successfully cultivating the Yun Kong Xian Vine, Lu Xuan entered the Leishou Beast Territory.
On the outskirts of the spiritual land, over a dozen 5th-grade Leisha Linglian were planted, their silver-white lotuses blooming with lightning arcs leaping between the petals, creating a menacing aura.
"It won't be long before they reach maturity," Lu Xuan thought as he walked further in, approaching the two Xuemo Lei Hu Lingzong.
With a thought, a minute thread of Gui Shui Yin Lei, like a tiny snake, darted out and split into two, each entering a different spirit seed.
This Gui Shui Yin Lei occupied less than a tenth of one of the Yin Lei, just enough to nurture the spirit seeds.
Lu Xuan meticulously cultivated it and returned to his cave mansion.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, as he was cultivating the Jieme Juefa Jiancao, a sharp sound of a Baiyuan echoed outside his cave mansion.
"Master, a message talisman from Chongxu Jianfeng!"
"Chongxu Jianfeng?" Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, feeling a rare sense of unease.
His figure vanished into thin air and reappeared in front of the Baiyuan, grabbing the message talisman.
"Master, your movement technique is becoming more profound," the Baiyuan muttered, standing aside.
Lu Xuan infused a strand of his spiritual power into the talisman, and instantly, he heard Ge Pu's familiar gentle voice.
"Brother Lu, I've advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Xuan's heart, which had been hanging, finally relaxed.
"I was fortunate to break through successfully, thanks to your help, brother. I'll forever remember this," Ge Pu continued.
"Additionally, on behalf of Chongxu Jianfeng, I invite you to attend my Nascent Soul celebration at the peak's grand hall in three days!"
"Brother Ge has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!" Lu Xuan exclaimed with joy.
As cultivation progressed, the number of friends who could accompany him dwindled, so he genuinely felt happiness for his companion.
"The Nascent Soul celebration in three days? I must congratulate Brother Ge properly," Lu Xuan said, immediately sending a message to confirm his attendance.
Soon, three days passed.
Lu Xuan arrived at the entrance of the Chongxu Jianfeng's grand hall, a place he was very familiar with.
Ge Pu was receiving congratulations from fellow sect members. Upon seeing Lu Xuan, he quickly said a few words before a black and white spiritual light enveloped him, bringing him before Lu Xuan in an instant.
"Congratulations, Brother Ge, on your successful advancement to the Nascent Soul stage! May your path be smooth and your longevity eternal!" Lu Xuan offered his sincere congratulations.
"Thank you, Brother Lu," Ge Pu said, his gratitude overflowing despite having already expressed his thanks. He bowed deeply, unable to contain his appreciation.
This advancement to the Nascent Soul stage was not only due to Ge Pu's exceptional talent and deep cultivation but also to Lu Xuan's crucial assistance.
The Huangliang Yupin lent to Ge Pu had allowed him to temper his divine soul, strengthening his weakest aspect, making the process of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage and resisting mental demons much easier.
"Brother, there's no need for such formality between us," Lu Xuan said, changing the subject as he handed a delicate jade box to Ge Pu.
"Inside is a 7th-grade spirit mineral called Wuyan Jingtong, an excellent material for refining mid-grade fire-attributed treasures. It's just what you need now that you've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"If you're unsure, I can ask the Baigong Jianfeng sect members to help refine a weapon for you. After all, they owe me a favor for solving a problem for them."
"A 7th-grade spirit mineral! Brother, you just said we shouldn't be too formal!" Ge Pu exclaimed, surprised by Lu Xuan's generosity.
"This gift is too valuable, but I'll reluctantly accept it!" He laughed heartily.
The two had a deep bond, and Ge Pu was well-acquainted with his junior's background, a Lingzhi Master.
Despite staying low-key within the Sword Sect, his methods of making money were exceptional, and his wealth surpassed that of most Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the sect.
Although he had received help from Lu Xuan on several occasions, he couldn't repay the favor. Instead, he etched this gratitude deep in his heart. Now, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he finally had the opportunity to search for high-grade Spirit Seeds and repay his junior from the past.
"As for your request to have the forging masters of Baigong Jianfeng craft a magical tool, there's no need to use up your favors."
Ge Pu spoke solemnly.
"Alright, I'll follow your suggestion, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan responded with a carefree tone.
"Junior Brother, go to the Grand Hall for now and mingle with the other sect members. After the celebration, we'll have a private celebration."
"Senior Brother, you're busy. I'll make sure to return only after getting thoroughly drunk."
Lu Xuan, understanding Ge Pu's current need to attend to the various Sword Peaks and even the external sects, voluntarily entered the Grand Hall.
"Lu Xuan, it's been a while!"
"Junior Brother, over here!"
As soon as he entered, four or five fellow sect members stood up and invited him to sit near them.
Lu Xuan found himself in a dilemma and turned to look around, choosing the closest option, Mo Yuanfeng.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Mo."
"Haha, you're much more popular in the sect than I am!"
Mo Yuanfeng couldn't help but exclaim upon witnessing the scene.
Although he had full confidence in his strength and was the True Sword of the Sword Sect, with limitless potential, he was well aware that Lu Xuan's position within the sect had surpassed his own.
"I'm grateful for the kindness of my fellow sect members."
Lu Xuan responded with humility.
"With such extraordinary skills in cultivating spiritual plants, reaching this stage is well-deserved."
Mo Yuanfeng sighed.
The Sword Sect branch disciple they discovered in Li Yang Dao Zong had surprisingly advanced to his current realm in just over a century, leaving Mo Yuanfeng with a sense of unreality.
Lu Xuan exchanged a few words with Mo Yuanfeng and then stood up to greet his acquaintances.
During this time, he also met many other Sword Peak sect members and some Great Clan cultivators from the surrounding domains.
Everyone was well aware of Lu Xuan's remarkable feat of improving the new 6th-grade Sword Grass, and they were extremely polite, even going out of their way to please him.
Lu Xuan looked around the Grand Hall, where there were no fewer than forty Nascent Soul True Monarchs, mainly Nascent Soul cultivators from Chongxu Jianfeng, including the recently promoted Wan Chong.
The remaining eight major Sword Peaks and the Sword Palace had sent one or two representatives each, while the rest were from various major sect powers.
He noticed that two of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tianjian Sect had arrived, and Jian Wuxia was sitting quietly in a corner.
This former true disciple of the Tianjian Sect was currently at the late Jiedan stage, with high hopes of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
"If the opportunity arises, I can also give Jian Wuxia a hand."
Lu Xuan still remembered the stunning sight of Jian Kezhuo in the secret realm when he was at the Xianqi stage and the favor she had shown him. He decided that when the time was right, he would try to help her.
"I haven't seen Huo Lin'er Senior Brother in a while..."
Lu Xuan couldn't recall how long it had been since he last saw Huo Lin'er.
"I hope Senior Brother Huo is doing well and can return safely."
"And that he can treat Ge Senior Brother's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage with equanimity."
He sighed inwardly, and his thoughts were interrupted by a Nascent Soul cultivator who came to offer a toast of Spirit Brew.
