Chapter 1268: Mystic Natural Secret Qi
“How are you feeling now, Senior?”
After casting the Ten-Thousand Trees Spring Seal multiple times, Lu Xuan’s magical power was nearly depleted.
He swallowed a Spirit Pill that could quickly restore his energy and asked,
“Much better.”
“Your technique is truly remarkable, young friend.”
The Xuanji Tree Matron said softly.
“The root of your injuries has been removed, but it will still take some time to fully recover your vital energy.”
“Senior, you mentioned earlier that there are several Sects in Zhongzhou who wish to harm you?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“If you are harassed by them during your recovery, it could hinder your quick recovery.”
“Why don’t I assist you in dealing with those issues until you are fully healed?”
Lu Xuan spoke with sincerity.
Since he wanted to obtain an eighth-grade matured spiritual item from the Xuanji Tree Matron, he naturally had to show his sincerity by helping the Xuanji Tree Matron resolve its current troubles.
“You want to help me fight them?”
“Your background is the Dongxuan Sword Sect. If the Zhongzhou Sects discover this, it might cause some undesirable effects.”
The Xuanji Tree Matron paused and spoke softly.
“Senior, you don’t need to worry about that. I will keep my identity hidden and avoid involving too many people.”
“If they do discover us, it should be they who worry and fear.”
Lu Xuan’s demeanor was calm and composed, exuding a natural grace.
“Very well.”
“But the opponents are all Nascent Soul cultivators, including some at the Mid and Late stages. Do you have the confidence to deal with them?”
Lu Xuan had always showcased his talents in cultivating Spirit Mushrooms and raising Spirit Beasts, with few records of direct combat, which is why the Xuanji Tree Matron had such concerns.
“You just mentioned that I come from the Dongxuan Sword Sect. Even the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yunxu Domain’s Liyang Dao Sect would struggle to have absolute confidence in defeating me.”
“Furthermore, I have been favored by the Sword Master of my peak and possess several protective treasures.”
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face, and several treasures with radiant auras appeared before him.
A fan woven from seven divine feathers, each feather glowing with spiritual light and emitting a different flame, containing a terrifying power that seemed capable of consuming everything, was the Five-Fire Seven-Avian Fan, already refined into a mid-grade magical treasure.
A golden bow with a smooth, flowing design, adorned with countless intricate and profound runes, giving it an incredibly light and ethereal feel, was the eighth-grade Fa Qi Sun-Chasing Bow, capable of chasing the stars and piercing through anything.
A Flying Sword Formation, where the sword qi roared and the movements of the sun, moon, and stars could be faintly seen, exuding a powerful and destructive aura.
A bracelet formed from five-color lightning, with lightning rapidly circling around it, emitting a fierce thunderous energy that created a vacuum around it.
The Xuanji Tree Matron paused upon seeing these treasures.
“Two high-grade eighth-tier treasures, a renowned seventh-tier Sword Sect formation, and a seventh-tier treasure of a very rare type.”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a rich collection.”
It couldn’t help but marvel.
“Senior flatters me. I’ve simply had good fortune and the favor of my Sect.”
Lu Xuan humbly replied.
He displayed these treasures to demonstrate his strength and sincerity, but to be cautious, he kept the majority of his true power hidden, such as the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform with its perfect defense, the Heavenly Lightning Technique he had practiced the longest and most diligently, and the incomplete high-tier technique, Sleight of Hand.
Therefore, even if the Xuanji Tree Matron had any ulterior motives, Lu Xuan was confident he could outmaneuver her, retreat unscathed, or even defeat her.
"Young friend, with such a profound foundation, you can indeed be of great help to me."
The Xuanji Tree Matron nodded gently, speaking softly.
After seeing these rare and precious treasures, she immediately recognized Lu Xuan's strength and decided to consider him an ally in the upcoming battle.
"Do you have any requirements, young friend?"
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Lu Xuan was willing to take the risk of fighting alongside her against multiple Nascent Soul True Monarchs, not just because of their friendship, but also because he expected some form of compensation.
"To be frank, Senior, I do have a request."
Lu Xuan felt delighted by the Xuanji Tree Matron's understanding.
"Senior, you know I am deeply fascinated by Spirit Mushrooms and other rare High-grade Spiritual Plants. I have always wanted to obtain as many matured Spiritual Items as possible."
"Does Senior have any Eighth-Rank maturation Spiritual Items?"
He said this with a calm expression.
"Eighth-Rank maturation Spiritual Items... I remember giving you a piece of Wood Essence Root, which wasn't enough to meet your needs. It seems you have quite a few High-grade Spiritual Plants."
The Xuanji Tree Matron chuckled, guessing.
"Just a few lucky finds."
Lu Xuan spoke vaguely, not wanting to reveal that he already had several Ninth-Rank Spirit Mushrooms and even some innate spirit roots.
"I do have Eighth-Rank maturation treasures."
A green light emanated from the Xuanji Tree Matron's indistinct face, transforming into a vibrant green Qi that teemed with boundless vitality. This Qi moved fluidly, exuding a pure and natural essence, invigorating the surrounding trees and vines.
"This is called Mystic Natural Secret Qi. I absorbed various wood Qi and endured great hardship to condense it. It has an extremely potent effect on nurturing and maturing all living things, far surpassing the Primordial Tree Leaf and Wood Elf Juice I gave you earlier."
"However, its healing capabilities are somewhat limited."
The Xuanji Tree Matron handed the green Qi to Lu Xuan.
"Truly impressive, a wood spirit that has lived for over ten thousand years, capable of producing Eighth-Rank maturation treasures."
Lu Xuan was inwardly delighted but kept a straight face.
"Senior, this is..."
He feigned ignorance.
"Consider it a reward for healing my injuries and your assistance."
The Xuanji Tree Matron spoke slowly.
"Then I won't be so polite."
Lu Xuan bowed in gratitude. To get an Eighth-Rank treasure by using the Ten-Thousand Trees Spring Seal a few times and lending a hand once was quite generous of the Xuanji Tree Matron.
"Senior, you have lived in the Greenwood Star Cave for countless years and have surely faced many trials like this one."
"Though you have overcome them, there's no guarantee what you might face next."
"Have you ever considered moving to a different place?"
Lu Xuan asked earnestly, his tone full of persuasion.
He understood the difference between a single feast and a steady supply. Since he could obtain Eighth-Rank Mystic Natural Secret Qi from the Xuanji Tree Matron, he didn't want to limit himself to just this one. The more, the better.
Thus, he couldn't help but think about luring the Xuanji Tree Matron into his Carried Space.
"I’ve already lured a Blue-Horned Thunder Rhinoceros; one more Xuanji Tree Matron wouldn’t be a problem."
He thought to himself.
