Chapter 1260: The Little Deity Jiang Bag
Chapter 1260: The Little Deity Jiang Bag
Fire Deity Ape had lived for countless years, feeling the end of his life approaching. He could not resist the merciless path to the end, and though he was only one step away from becoming a Demon Sage, that step was as wide as a chasm.
Therefore, in his later years, he developed a penchant for the pleasures of the tongue, particularly favoring fire-type spiritual fruits and potent Ling Niang.
Lu Xuan, aware of his preferences, brought him Crimson Blaze Plums, Thunderlash Spiritual Lotus Seeds, Azure Lotus Wine, and Ape Demon Wine.
Though he had brought many treasures, they paled in comparison to the Eight-Grade Wu Dao Bodhi given by Fire Deity Ape, not to mention the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform, a supreme treasure he had obtained from the light orb.
In high spirits, Fire Deity Ape conversed with Lu Xuan for quite some time before falling back into a deep slumber.
"Brother Lu, thank you for this visit. It's rare to see Fire Deity Ape so pleased."
Yan Liuchuan expressed his gratitude.
In a sense, Fire Deity Ape was the totem of the Fire Deity Palace. Many senior Yuan Ying True Lords had benefited from his grace, and both Hua Shen Laozu and others had tried various methods to extend his lifespan, but with limited success.
"This is my promise to Senior Fire Deity Ape. I naturally did my best to fulfill it."
Lu Xuan spoke sincerely.
Under Yan Liuchuan's enthusiastic hospitality, he toured the Fire Deity Palace again, marveling at the strange and magnificent sights around the palace.
On his previous visit, he was relatively unknown, known only for his skill with Spirit Grass. Due to a divine monkey hair from Fire Deity Ape, he had a minor conflict with a Yuan Ying True Lord from the Fire Deity Palace.
This time, having advanced to the Mid-Stage Yuan Ying realm and easily suppressing a peer, his visit to the Fire Deity Palace went smoothly, and he met many Yuan Ying experts who were eager to form connections with him.
After more than ten days of touring, he bid farewell to Yan Liuchuan and the other cultivators and returned to the Sword Sect after passing through several realms.
Upon returning to the Dong Manor, he rested for a while before heading to the deepest part of the Sword Peak.
Amidst the boundless sword qi, a white jade pillar stretched into the unknown depths of space, entwined by the ancient and mysterious Old Sword Dragon.
Old Sword Dragon, like Fire Deity Ape, was in a deep slumber. Compared to their first meeting, the white light emanating from his body had dimmed, and the fine sword blades growing from his body had become sparser.
Sensing Lu Xuan's approach, Old Sword Dragon struggled to open his eyes.
"Little Brother Lu, you've come."
"Yes, Senior. I've brought you several bottles of the finest True Sword Liquid."
Lu Xuan spoke respectfully.
"You have my thanks."
Old Sword Dragon's aged voice echoed in Lu Xuan's ear.
"Senior, I just returned from visiting Senior Fire Deity Ape. I have a message for you."
Lu Xuan coughed lightly.
"Oh?"
Old Sword Dragon slowly lifted his aged head.
"Senior Fire Deity Ape said he wants to see who can outlive the other."
Lu Xuan did his best to embellish the few words Fire Deity Ape had said.
Old Sword Dragon chuckled, "That old fellow would say something like that, wouldn't he?"
"He's probably hoping I'll die first so he can witness it with his own eyes!"
Lu Xuan remained silent for a moment.
These two, who had known each other for thousands of years, understood each other's nature well. Old Sword Dragon had recounted Fire Deity Ape's words almost verbatim.
He did not disturb Old Sword Dragon's rest for long, staying for a while before taking his leave.
Back in his room, the White Lotus incarnation entered the Carried Space.
His divine sense swept through the area, and he immediately noticed the astonishing changes in Liu Guangling Ho and the Tīngfēng Beast.
Compared to before taking half of the Jiseng Demon Fruit, the demonic energy within his body had significantly increased, giving off a faint aura of a demon king.
Liu Guangling Ho was darting through the air at extreme speed when a clear chirping sound suddenly echoed from a distance. He immediately turned around and flew over to the fat bird, Fengsun, adopting an extremely humble and lowly posture.
Although the fat bird was only a Fifth-Rank creature, its status among the many spirit beasts in the space was firmly at the forefront.
The Fire Dragon and the Blue-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros were both hatched by it and had accompanied Lu Xuan for countless years, forming a deep bond.
Liu Guangling Ho was quite perceptive, knowing that even though his strength and lineage were superior to the fat bird, his status in Lu Xuan’s heart was far below that of the fat bird. Therefore, he always treated the fat bird with great respect.
"Still knows his place."
Seeing the scene, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
The Tīngfēng Beast, like the Cloud-Treading Lynx, was unpredictable in its movements and solitary in nature. It was rare to see its trace unless Lu Xuan summoned it.
When Lu Xuan entered the Thunder Beast’s spirit land, the Blue-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros had been out longer than he expected, and still hadn’t returned.
However, he wasn’t overly worried. The Blue-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros had ancient and unique lineage and had lived for over ten thousand years. With the effects of the Gui He Yuan Pill, it had barely restored its peak condition. There were very few beings in the entire cultivation world that could detain it, so there was no need to worry about its safety.
Lu Xuan entered the central area, where many high-grade thunder-type spirit grasses were cultivated.
Under the nourishment of the Eighth-Rank Xueming Thunder Gourd and the divine water thunder, the vitality was rich and the growth was good. However, after so many years of cultivation, the growth progress was still limited. If cultivated according to routine, the maturation cycle would take several hundred years or more.
The Ninth-Rank Yin-Yang Thunderwood grew extremely slowly, showing almost no difference compared to the last time. However, Lu Xuan was extremely patient and was not in a hurry at all.
As for the Feilei Spore King, with the nourishment of numerous thunder-type treasures like the Nine-Heaven Thunder Attraction Tablet and the Green Lightning Vine, and being a Seventh-Rank creature, its growth rate was quite fast. If not for Lu Xuan’s powerful divine sense, it would be difficult to locate it easily.
"The last Fangcun Wood has matured."
After cultivating many spirit grasses, Lu Xuan approached a semi-transparent spirit wood.
Ripples of faint waves emanated from around the spirit wood, causing the surrounding space to tremble, with hints of small spatial cracks appearing.
After mastering the incomplete version of Sleight of Hand, Lu Xuan’s spatial abilities had become even more refined. He effortlessly dispelled the spatial cracks with a wave of his hand.
Then, he used both hands to pull out the Fangcun Wood, which seemed to be rooted deep in the space.
Without checking the quality of the spirit wood, his gaze fell on a white light orb that had quietly appeared.
The light orb flickered slightly, exerting a unique allure to him.
Lu Xuan held his breath and extended his hand, gently touching the surface of the light orb.
In an instant, the light orb silently shattered, transforming into a myriad of tiny light points that soared into the sky. They quickly condensed into a slender Light River, merging into Lu Xuan’s body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested one Seventh-Rank Fangcun Wood, obtained an Eighth-Rank special treasure: Little Deity Jiang Bag.]
The thought vanished, and a peculiar crimson pouch appeared before him.
The pouch gently swayed, as if it had a life of its own. At first glance, it resembled a strange divine bird. Occasionally, fine spatial cracks appeared around it, bending and changing like strings of a musical instrument, as if some unknown entity was plucking them, causing slight ripples in the nearby space.
