Chapter 1239: Presenting the Yin Spirit Peach
Chapter 1239: Presenting the Yin Spirit Peach
As soon as the thought occurred to Lu Xuan, he flew over to the eight-grade Enlightened Bodhi.
Two jade-green small pots floated above the Bodhi, and strands of herbal and wooden spiritual energy flowed like a gentle stream, pouring into the Enlightened Bodhi.
Half a day later, the damaged small pot was filled, and the herbal and wooden spiritual energy in the 7th-grade small pot was almost completely exhausted.
Lu Xuan focused his attention and took a closer look. The semi-transparent progress bar below the Enlightened Bodhi had only moved forward a small distance.
"It's no wonder it's an eight-grade spirit plant. The amount of herbal and wooden spiritual energy it consumes is not even on the same level as a seven-grade spirit plant."
He sighed inwardly, noticing that the herbal and wooden spiritual energy had not been fully absorbed by the spiritual wood. He then flew to the locations of the other high-grade spirit plants and carefully nurtured them one by one.
For the next two months, he cultivated the spirit seeds of the Thunder-sound sword grass while also practicing the higher-grade cultivation technique 'Sleeve of the Universe'. From time to time, he would visit the Enlightened Bodhi and infuse it with a drop of Wood Elf juice.
Eleven Thunder-sound sword grass plants produced a total of thirty-six spirit seeds, and the additional thirteen Lei Yuan Jian Cao plants produced a total of forty-five spirit seeds.
After taking care of these spirit seeds, Lu Xuan went straight to the Nourish-Xuan sword scabbard, which was enjoying its time off.
"Let's get to work!"
Lu Xuan gently tugged at the sword scabbard, and it reluctantly detached from the sword spine of the Sword-Xuan hedgehog, automatically hanging at Lu Xuan's waist.
"After this busy period, I'll give you a nice long vacation."
"While I'm nurturing the spirit seeds, I'll also let you enjoy some relaxation from time to time."
Lu Xuan sensed the dejected mood of the sword scabbard and sent a thought to it.
The sword scabbard trembled slightly and became spirited, swaying gently at Lu Xuan's waist.
Inside his personal space—
A golden-yellow bell floated quietly above the spirit field, occasionally emitting distant bell sounds. Wherever the bell sounds reached, Vedic chants could be heard, and Buddhist light circulated.
At the very center of the spirit field, a lit-lamp ancient herb was planted, emitting faint Buddhist light that illuminated the surrounding area, seemingly capable of dispelling evil and darkness.
"The eight-grade dharmaraja brightness bell and the seven-grade lit-lamp ancient herb can both influence the surrounding area, forming the initial shape of a Buddhist treasure land."
"However, if we want to nurture a seven-grade Buddhist spirit seed, there's still a long way to go."
"But it's sufficient for improving the Thunder-sound sword grass."
Lu Xuan inserted the spirit seeds of the Thunder-sound sword grass into the sword scabbard's slit.
"Over the years, I don't know how many flying swords this scabbard has harmed. Let it stay here for a while, allowing the Buddhist light to thoroughly cleanse the impurities within."
He left the sword scabbard in place and turned to enter the Lei Gou Beast's territory.
Near the Nine Heavens Summoning Lightning Tablet, he cleared an area and placed over forty spirit seeds of the Lei Yuan Jian Cao inside, allowing them to be nourished by countless subtle thunder energies.
The sword scabbard clone was stretched thin, so it could only take turns nurturing the sword grass spirit seeds in both places, also giving it a change of pace.
Although they were all small, they could still provide a little freshness.
After arranging the two types of sword grass spirit seeds, Lu Xuan returned to his cave mansion.
Today, Yuan Rong and the others from True Sword Peak decided to visit Jin Zai Qian, who had mostly recovered.
The group arrived at Jin Zai Qian's cave mansion.
"Li Mo greets the senior martial uncles. The senior martial uncle is currently waiting for you all in the mansion," said a tall and thin young man as he opened the protective array outside the cave mansion and welcomed Lu Xuan and the others inside with a smile.
Lu Xuan learned from Yuan Rong that the young man was Jin Zai Qian's disciple, who had been serving by his side for many years and was currently at the late-stage of Dan formation cultivation.
As soon as they entered the cave mansion, a chilling yin energy washed over them.
Lu Xuan casually scanned the area and noticed that the cave mansion was filled with arrays that condensed yin energy.
He sighed softly in his heart, feeling a sense of awe.
Upon entering the main hall, a black spiritual wood emitting dense yin energy was placed in the center.
"Master, the senior brothers and sisters have all arrived."
The tall and thin youth approached the Spirit Wood, bowing respectfully.
A surge of Yin Qi erupted from the Spirit Wood, and a faintly dark, blurry figure appeared before Lu Xuan and the others.
The figure's form was elusive, rooted deep within the Spirit Wood, and one could vaguely make out Jin Zaiqian's features.
Lu Xuan's perception told him that this spirit body was currently only equivalent to the early Zhuji stage, a far cry from Jin Zaiqian's middle-stage Yuan Ying from before.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Jin."
Lu Xuan and the others bowed respectfully to the blurry figure.
"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, please excuse my appearance," Jin Zaiqian said in a hoarse voice, his tone filled with dejection.
"In this ghostly state, I dare not let you call me Senior Brother."
Yuan Rong took a step forward and spoke softly, "Senior Brother Jin, once a senior brother, always a senior brother."
"That's right, Senior Brother, there's no need to belittle yourself. As long as you're alive, there's still hope to continue pursuing the Great Dao."
"If there's anything you need, Senior Brother, just ask, and we'll do our best."
They were all fellow Yuan Ying disciples from Zhen Jie Peak, sharing each other's glory and shame. Naturally, they wouldn't look down on Jin Zaiqian just because of his decline in cultivation.
"Thank you all for your kind words," Jin Zaiqian said.
"Jin has been fortunate enough to escape the Yuan Ying stage from Kunyuan Xianggong," he added.
"But after becoming this half-human, half-ghost appearance, it's hard to accept."
Jin Zaiqian forced a smile and spoke calmly.
"With your talent and understanding, even if you switch to the Ghost Path, you can still make a name for yourself," Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Seeing their former fellow disciple in such a state, they naturally offered their comfort and support.
Each of them took turns coming forward, presenting various treasures suitable for Ghost Cultivators.
They offered magical tools, pills, cultivation techniques, and more.
"Senior Brother Jin, I have a personally cultivated Fuyin Spirit Peach here. It contains an extremely rich and pure Yin Qi, which is quite beneficial for Ghost Cultivators. Please accept it, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan stepped forward, presenting a faintly black Spirit Peach with strands of Yin Qi swirling around it.
"Is this... a Sixth-Grade Spirit Fruit?" Jin Zaiqian's blurry figure trembled, revealing his inner turmoil.
"Indeed," Lu Xuan nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Lu. This gift is truly invaluable," Jin Zaiqian exclaimed.
The Sixth-Grade Fuyin Peach, being highly suitable for Ghost Cultivators, was extraordinarily valuable for Jin Zaiqian, who was only at the early Zhuji stage.
If he consumed it, his strength would increase significantly in a short time.
"Senior Brother, there's no need for formalities between us," Lu Xuan said.
"I just hope that Senior Brother can quickly recover your cultivation and break through to the Ghost Immortal stage."
Lu Xuan's words were sincere.
The group stayed in the main hall, conversing with Jin Zaiqian. To avoid hurting his pride, they were very careful with their words.
Jin Zaiqian's spirit was attached to that black spiritual wood, and he couldn't stay outside for long. After a while, he apologized to Lu Xuan and the others and returned to the Spirit Wood.
"Junior Brother Li, I entrust Senior Brother Jin's well-being to you," Yuan Rong said to the tall and thin youth before leaving.
"It's my duty, Junior Uncle," Li Mo replied with a respectful bow, seeing Lu Xuan and the others to the entrance of the cave mansion.
"Farewell, senior brothers and sisters," he said, watching them leave before turning back into the cave mansion.
