Chapter 237: Senior Brother, You Know Me Well
Chapter 237: Senior Brother, You Know Me Well
The murky yellow gourd was noticeably larger in size compared to the nourishing gourd, adorned with faint talisman patterns on its surface, and tied with a deep yellow rope at the waist where it tapered towards the opening.
As Lu Chen removed the cork stopper from the gourd's mouth, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, lingering in the air for a long time.
Lu Chen focused his spiritual senses on the murky yellow gourd, instantly gaining detailed information about it.
Drunk Immortal Gourd, a fourth-grade treasure. It has immense capacity, and during its refinement, wine worm powder was incorporated, enabling it to purify spirit spring quality and alter its taste.
Depending on the attributes of the spirit spring, as well as the type of spirit fruits placed within, it can automatically brew spiritual wine.
When spirit milk and spirit liquid treasures are put inside the gourd, their quality and age can be enhanced.
"A self-brewing wine gourd?" Lu Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The gourd before him, though lacking in offensive capabilities and only serving to enhance the quality of spirit springs and brew spiritual wine, was actually more useful to Lu Chen.
He could definitely use it to purify spirit springs, cultivate spirit herbs, add spirit fruits to make fruit wines, and thus improve his quality of life.
Exploring secret realms and battling others were only temporary affairs. It was only recently, when he entered the Langyue Blessed Land, that he had his first experience of fighting others since joining Tianjian Sect years ago.
For Lu Chen, the Drunk Immortal Gourd's ability to purify spirit springs, brew fruit wines, and enhance spirit liquids was a long-term benefit, and he knew its usage frequency would far surpass that of offensive magical artifacts.
His body transformed into a floating light, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the small lake on the mountain peak.
The lake's surface was shrouded in a mist of lingering spiritual energy, like wisps of white smoke.
Nestled within the inner sect of Tianjian Sect, the small lake could barely be considered a spirit spring, its waters nourished by the dense and pure spiritual energy.
Lu Chen crouched at the edge of the lake, manipulating his spiritual power to direct a stream of water into the Drunk Immortal Gourd.
While the gourd appeared to be of modest size on the outside, its interior space was actually quite vast. Even after pouring in thousands of pounds of water, it only filled up about half of it.
Lu Chen extended his spiritual sense into the gourd, sensing the water within rippling as if being constantly scrubbed by some invisible force, despite the absence of wind.
Half a day passed, and Lu Chen poured out a small amount of the water into a jade bowl.
Upon scanning it with his spiritual sense, he found that both the purity of the spirit spring and the concentration of spiritual power had improved slightly. However, perhaps due to the short infusion time, the changes were not very noticeable.
He took a sip, and the spirit spring water tasted exceptionally sweet and refreshing, invigorating his body and mind.
"Not bad. From now on, I won't have to worry about spiritual wine. All I need to do is put in spirit fruits and spirit spring water, and it will brew itself," Lu Chen said, casually hanging the Drunk Immortal Gourd at his waist, next to the sheath of his sword.
The sword sheath, with its ancient and mottled appearance, contrasted with the deep yellow gourd, creating a combination that exuded a free-spirited aura.
Intrigued, Lu Chen held the ancient sword sheath horizontally across his chest and slowly drew out the flying sword within.
A sword shaped like a bolt of lightning gradually emerged, its curved blade causing the sword sheath to tremble continuously as if it couldn't bear the strange blade scraping against its inner walls.
From time to time, arcs of lightning surged out from the sheath, eliciting even stronger reactions.
"...Mood killer," Lu Chen muttered, his interest waning as he looked at the unruly sword sheath in his hand. He casually thrust the Purple Lightning Sword back into the sheath.
Electricity arced from the crack in the sheath all the way to its deepest recesses, causing it to shake violently as if trying to break free from Lu Chen's grip.
Having obtained the fourth-grade Drunk Immortal Gourd, Lu Chen was extremely satisfied and continued to inspect various parts of the spirit field.
Two twin-headed armadillos emerged from the soil, their four heads staring intently at Lu Chen.
Helpless, Lu Chen took out four spirit mines from his storage bag and stuffed one into each of their mouths.
For a while, the sound of crunching filled the air.
Over the past month or so, the twin-headed armadillo beasts had grown significantly. Their bodies were now covered in small, gray scales, which still felt slightly soft to the touch due to their recent emergence.
These two twin-headed armadillo cubs were even better at digging holes than he had imagined. They had dug their way from the rock wall all the way down to the bottom of the spirit soil, just to fully enjoy the spiritual energy emanating from it.
Before long, a slender vine with gray tentacles crawled over silently and made its way up Lu Chen's arm.
Lu Chen, seeing it covered in tentacles, slapped it down.
The Demon Ghost Vine seemed drunk, crawling crookedly.
"This little guy has run over to the Misty Immortal Peach again. I guess it has developed a tolerance for the toxic miasma emitted by the peaches."
Lu Chen mused as he looked at the Demon Ghost Vine, covered in tiny tentacles, and then cast a clear, misty glow at it.
Under the effect of the Cleansing Chant, the Demon Ghost Vine immediately returned to normal, retracting its tiny tentacles and crawling affectionately into Lu Chen's sleeve.
"Is Brother Lu in?"
Just as Lu Chen was playing with his spirit beasts, a strange voice suddenly called out from the foot of the mountain.
"Yes, I am."
Lu Chen replied and opened the Flowlight Talisman Array.
A middle-aged man with a goatee stood outside the array, smiling at Lu Chen.
"I don't know your name, Brother..."
"My surname is Fan, and my given name is Xu. I am several decades older than you, Brother Lu, so please call me Brother Fan."
The bearded man replied in a hearty tone.
"So it's Brother Fan. I've heard so much about you, please come into my humble abode and have a chat."
Lu Chen smiled and invited him in.
The two walked along a stone path to Lu Chen's abode, located halfway up the mountain.
"It's truly a pleasure to meet you in person after hearing so much about you."
"I've heard from other fellow disciples in the sect about your prowess in spirit plants, and now I see that your reputation is well-deserved."
Although the mountain was shrouded in the Mist-Concealing Illusion Array, most of the spirit plants, especially the high-grade ones, were hidden in the thick white mist. Still, one could catch glimpses of a vibrant and lush landscape.
"Brother Fan is too kind. These are just common flowers and grasses, not worth mentioning."
Lu Chen served spirit fruits and offered spirit tea, his tone casual and modest.
"By the way, Brother Fan, may I ask what brings you to my humble abode?"
He cut straight to the point and asked directly.
"I heard that you've been inquiring about how to find Three-star and above exotic fires from your fellow disciples. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's true."
Lu Chen nodded slightly. Having obtained the sixth-grade Phoenix Wood, he naturally wouldn't keep it sealed away without cultivating it. To obtain the light sphere reward of the sixth-grade ancient spirit plant as soon as possible, he had recently been asking his fellow disciples during gatherings if they had any relevant treasures or sources of exotic fires.
"I know of a secret realm that contains the Three-star Silverflame Fire, which is extremely rare among Three-star exotic fires."
"However, one of the fellow disciples I had planned to go with suddenly got injured. When he heard that you were collecting exotic fires, he immediately came to me, hoping to invite you to join us in exploring that secret realm."
The bearded man spoke enthusiastically, his tone slightly persuasive.
"I'm sorry, Brother Fan, but I probably won't be able to make it."
"Brother Fan, you know me. Ever since I joined the sect, I've devoted myself to spirit plants and beasts, neglecting my cultivation and lacking in combat skills. I don't have any decent artifacts."
Lu Chen sighed, his expression sincere and his tone earnest.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the bearded man's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
The person behind him had told him that Lu Chen possessed a robust physical body and had numerous artifacts. With just a talisman, he had simultaneously repelled two cultivators at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and one at the early stage.
If he hadn't known this fact, he might have been completely deceived by Lu Chen's demeanor and words, believing him to be an ordinary cultivator with mediocre talent and cultivation.
