Chapter 233: The Young Apothecary's Magical Journey
With this in mind, Lu Chen felt much calmer.
"The most important thing now is to get through this period of time. Once it's time to leave the blessed land, we won't have to worry about them fighting over the Phoenix Tree again."
He thought to himself, then decided to head back to the ancient forest where he had first arrived.
"I'll pay a visit to my Wood Spirit friends along the way."
The area was vast and the terrain complex, with countless towering trees providing excellent cover, making it hard for anyone to detect his presence.
The dark golden Invisibility Cloak on his body surged with countless translucent threads, enveloping him in a hazy spiritual aura that concealed both his figure and his spiritual energy.
Several days later, Lu Chen emerged from the ancient forest with a smile, holding the sword token in his hand.
"I'll have to bid you farewell here, my friends. There's no need to see me off any further."
At the edge of the ancient forest, several blurry faces appeared among the hanging branches, gazing reluctantly at Lu Chen as he walked away.
"My Wood Spirit friends are truly too hospitable," Lu Chen thought, turning back to look at them with a sense of emotion.
He had spent the past few days deep in the ancient forest, making friends with several Wood Spirits. After letting them taste the wonderful Azure Wood Essence, they had been absorbing the rich spiritual energy of the forest.
During the absorption process, Lu Chen transmitted 1% of the successfully transformed Azure Wood Origin Qi to the Wood Spirits, establishing a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.
Nourished by the Azure Wood Origin Qi, the Wood Spirits were full of vitality, and their once blurry features had become much clearer.
Of course, Lu Chen gained even more benefits. The light group in his dantian had reached its limit, slowly rotating and looking bloated.
As he walked, the sword token in his hand glowed with countless stars, which then condensed into a starry passage that sucked in Lu Chen and the numerous inner disciples who were in the Langyue blessed land.
"Finally back."
High in the sky, countless stars revolved in a trajectory that hinted at profound principles, and powerful sword auras occasionally streaked across the sky like meteors.
Under the cover of the spiritual energy, the mountains below looked like tiny ants, faintly visible.
Lu Chen looked around.
Most of his fellow disciples wore expressions of joy, indicating that they had gained a lot from their trip to the blessed land.
Of course, there were also a few who looked dissatisfied, angry, or regretful, including the three handsome young men.
The three glared at Lu Chen, their eyes filled with intense anger.
Lu Chen remained unperturbed, closing his eyes to rest, completely ignoring the three angry glares that were almost tangible.
He might have been a little wary of them in the blessed land, but now that he was back at the sect and had obtained the Phoenix Tree, he feared nothing.
"Brother Lu, have you offended Elder Sister Bai and her group?" A soft voice sounded by Lu Chen's ear.
Opening his eyes, he saw Liu Su not far away, her head slightly lowered as she glanced at him without revealing any traces of having done so.
"We had a little dispute over a treasure in the blessed land," Lu Chen explained via sound transmission.
"It looks like you were the victorious party," Liu Su said, her voice lively and playful.
"However, Brother Lu should still be more careful in the future. Elder Sister Bai has a proud personality and profound cultivation. She won't take losses lightly."
"Moreover, those three are all disciples of a Nascent Soul Alchemist in our sect, so their backgrounds are extraordinary."
"If you're in trouble, I can introduce you to a Nascent Soul Alchemist. With your attainments in spirit plants and spirit beasts, you'll definitely have a 100% chance of becoming his disciple."
"I've been staying on this peak, rarely venturing out, let alone venturing into secret realms to seek opportunities or fight others. So, even if someone wanted to harm me, they wouldn't easily have that chance." Lu Xuan refused gently.
Once everyone was assembled, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation silently activated, transporting each person to their designated location.
"I'm back!"
Stepping onto the ground at the foot of the mountain, Lu Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of stability.
He passed through the flowing light formation and entered the peak area.
With one foot still outside the formation, a huge sphere dropped onto his head and then bounced high, landing on their heads again.
"You've gotten fatter in such a short time, you brat!" Lu Xuan said helplessly, feeling the increasingly heavy Wind Falcon on his head.
Attached to the Wind Falcon's ankle was a fiery red dragon, the Li Huo Dragon, which had transformed from a necklace into an anklet after its rapid growth.
"Meow~"
The Cloud-Walking Lynx, for once, showed its true emotions, its soft, low roar filled with affection, though it was mixed with a strong earthy flavor, creating a unique blend.
After calming the three little beasts, Lu Xuan hurried back into the house, eager to examine his harvest from the Langyue blessed land.
He had gained quite a lot this time. There was the Wu Ling Rang, suitable for most spirit herbs; two stolen third-grade twin-headed glyptodon cubs; four Ling Zong pine seeds; a fifth-grade Yao Gui vine that was half vine and half beast; and finally, the sixth-grade ancient spirit herb, the Phoenix Tree.
In addition, his dantian was filled to the brim with Azure Wood source Qi, and he had obtained numerous high-grade spirit herbs and demon beast remains.
"It's a shame that the sect's blessed land won't be opened easily. It will probably be many years before I can enter again."
Lu Xuan sighed with some reluctance.
He shook his sleeves, and the light gray vine that had been eagerly waiting immediately rushed out.
The vine fell to the ground and, like a small snake, quickly made its way towards the peak's spirit herb field.
The moment it entered the peak, it sensed the numerous spirit herbs within and was already drooling with anticipation.
"Second-grade spirit herb, slender type, easy to swallow, watery and nourishing. Mark it!"
It left a light gray mark on the underside of a second-grade water glow herb.
"So fragrant, so fragrant, mark it!"
Beneath the Ice Luo fruit and Blazing Flame fruit trees, it left another light gray mark, unable to contain its excitement.
"What kind of spirit herb is this? It must have a very chewy texture."
Beside the Wind and Thunder Sword Grass, the vine sensed the sword energy emanating from the grass, infused with the intent of wind and thunder, and it couldn't help but desire to conquer it.
"Wow! A fourth-grade spirit herb! And it comes with demon insect snacks! So considerate! Must mark!"
In front of the fourth-grade Mystical Insect Vine, the Yao Gui Vine hid in the shadows, observing the countless insects coming and going, as well as the over ten insect chambers that had condensed on the Mystical Insect Vine. Its excitement caused its vines to quiver continuously.
"Huh? What kind of food is this? I feel like something is growing inside me, but I haven't eaten anything yet."
In the pink miasma, stimulated by the scent of lust, the Yao Gui Vine wondered as it looked at the new section that had grown on its vine, confused by the strange feeling.
On the peak, the various rare and high-grade spirit herbs dazzled the Yao Gui Vine, leaving it feeling like it was in a dream.
"What have I been eating in the herb garden all this time? Compared to here, that food was like chaff."
"From the blessed land's herb garden to the peak's spirit herb field..."
"I, Vine, can't go back to the way things were..."
