Chapter 406: Fellow Daoist, Please Come In!
"It's time to reel them in." Lu Chen looked at the ashen-gray eyeball in his palm and said coldly.
The fisherman who had baited his hook, expecting to catch a big fish, had no idea that he would instead attract several ferocious and bloodthirsty sharks.
He immediately communicated with the three True Transmission disciples of Ge Pu, and they all indicated that they were ready and would support Lu Chen at any time.
As for the Luan Bird and the Little White Ape, with the single hair left by the White Ape, he could summon the two beasts at any moment.
Over the next few days, Lu Chen continued to observe the movements in the small courtyard in the underworld through the Eye of the Void Nightmare.
During this time, the infant shadow in the Saint Infant Fruit appeared several more times, and each time it showed obvious signs of consciousness, intentionally observing the formations and arrangements in the courtyard.
However, although the infant shadow had a great deal of subjectivity, it was ultimately just a strange and evil spirit fruit and did not possess any special abilities, let alone break through the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Formation that Lu Chen had set up.
Knowing that the spirit fruit was nearing maturity, Lu Chen contacted Ge Pu and the others, and they all converged on Jianmen Town.
Gu Pu and Zhong Jing Shan, the two True Transmission disciples, hid in the center of the town, just a few breaths away from the small courtyard. As for Huo Lin'er, she hid on the outskirts of Jianmen Town as a precaution.
Lu Chen continued to monitor the surroundings of the courtyard day and night through the Eye of the Void Nightmare.
"Finally, they've shown up." On this day, Lu Chen noticed a medium-built, plain-looking cultivator approaching the small courtyard. The cultivator pretended to be passing by, circling the courtyard before quickly leaving.
He had no idea that high above him, a grayish-white eyeball kept appearing and disappearing, as if shuttling through the void, trailing silently behind him.
The next day, Wei Yixian slowly walked through the alleys of Jianmen Town, occasionally stopping to inquire about various cultivation treasures on the stalls.
Unknowingly, he found himself near Lu Chen's small courtyard.
"A big harvest is just around the corner!" Just thinking about retrieving the mature Saint Infant Fruit and several other rare and precious spirit plants filled his heart with excitement, and his pace quickened.
Through his connection with the mother plant of the Saint Infant Fruit, he had already learned the details of the offspring plant located here.
It was a small courtyard that housed several rare and evil spirit plants.
The small courtyard had not seen any cultivators for a long time, and it was unclear if they were out on adventures or if they chose not to stay in the courtyard.
However, that had nothing to do with him. As far as he was concerned, being able to retrieve the Saint Infant Fruit and several rare spirit plants was already a great outcome.
Unfortunately, while his thoughts could possess the spirit fruit, he lacked other extraordinary abilities to silently remove those spirit plants from the formation. He had no choice but to make a move himself.
After several observations, he had confirmed the rules of spiritual power flow and trajectory within the formation and was confident that he could easily break the formation.
"The only uncertain factor is that this small courtyard is really too close to the Celestial Sword Sect, just over a hundred miles away. If I alert a Core Formation cultivator or a True Transmission disciple, it will be difficult to escape unscathed." Wei Yixian thought to himself. His own strength was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, which was considered powerful in the cultivation world. However, in the eyes of a behemoth like the Celestial Sword Sect, it was insignificant.
"But compared to the value of those spirit plants, this tiny bit of risk is negligible."
"It's not like there would be a Core Formation cultivator or a True Transmission disciple staying in such an inconspicuous town, and then happening to run into me, right?"
The formation plate emitted spiritual energy, quickly obscuring and hiding his figure.
Immediately after, he took out a high-grade restrictive talisman and approached the edge of the formation.
Just as he was about to attempt breaking the formation, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Fellow Daoist, your actions are not very upright."
Spiritual energy surged within the formation, and a handsome young man with a gentle aura walked out from inside the courtyard. He looked at Wei Yixian with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"There's someone inside!"
Wei Yixian was startled, suppressing the fleeting panic that arose within him. He maintained a calm expression.
He probed the small courtyard with his spiritual sense and detected no powerful auras. Observing the handsome young man before him, he sensed that his cultivation was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, which eased his worries somewhat.
"My sincere apologies. This small courtyard belongs to a friend of mine. We haven't seen each other for many years, and I happened to pass by this place, so I wanted to pay him a visit. When I entered the courtyard and couldn't get in touch with him, I impulsively attempted to break the formation."
"If I have offended you in any way, Fellow Daoist, please forgive me."
"May I ask if you are aware of my friend's recent situation?"
He asked with a sincere expression.
"I've only had this small courtyard for a short decade or so. I'm not very clear about the information regarding the previous owner or owners."
"So, I can only apologize to you, Fellow Daoist."
Lu Chen chuckled coldly in his heart, engaging in an acting contest with the evil cultivator before him.
"Ah, life is unpredictable. I hope he's safe and has just moved to a new place."
"I hope so too."
"Fellow Daoist, since you know the previous owner of this small courtyard, it must be fate that brought us together. Why don't you come in and enjoy some spirit fruits and spiritual tea to soothe your longing for your friend?"
Lu Chen invited proactively.
"Is that appropriate?"
"Of course, it's very appropriate. I just brewed a pot of spiritual tea, made from freshly picked tea leaves. Consuming it can increase spiritual power and clear the mind. It's a top-grade product."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony any longer."
"Hahaha, please come in, Fellow Daoist!"
Lu Chen stood at the side of the courtyard gate, gesturing welcomingly.
"Fine, I'll just launch a sneak attack and finish him off right here in the courtyard, trying my best not to make any noise, and then flee far away."
Wei Yixian looked at Lu Chen as if he were looking at a dead man, and then stepped into the small courtyard.
However, he failed to notice that the look in Lu Chen's eyes was no less intense than his own.
"Hmm?"
After entering the small courtyard, Wei Yixian paused, furrowing his brows as if he sensed something amiss.
At that moment, the scene before him shattered like a mirror flower or water moon, revealing two cultivators—one sipping spiritual tea and the other munching on a spirit fruit—staring at him meaningfully.
One of them had black and white dual pupils, one eye deep and dark, the other pale and indifferent.
The other wore a black robe woven from strange insects, enveloped in countless auras that deeply locked onto him.
"True Transmission disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, Ge Pu and Zhong Jing Shan!"
Wei Yixian felt as if he had been drenched with cold water from head to toe. Despite having experienced numerous life-and-death situations, he couldn't help but tremble.
Ge Pu and Zhong Jing Shan were famous in the cultivation world, known for their profound abilities, divine artifacts, and profound cultivation. They had annihilated countless evil cultivators.
He never expected that there would be two True Transmission disciples waiting for him inside this small courtyard!
