Chapter 528: Grand Thunder Talisman
"I used to think that my knowledge of spirit beasts was unparalleled, but after witnessing your proficiency, Brother Lu, I realized that my understanding was limited. I would love the opportunity to exchange insights with you." Chen Luo's face bore a slight smile.
"Brother Chen, I would be delighted to share my insights with you," Lu Xuan politely replied.
"By the way, Brother Lu, you mentioned that you stumbled upon information about the Confounding Heartworm in an ancient text. May I borrow it to broaden my own knowledge?" Chen Luo casually inquired.
"I borrowed that ancient text from a fellow cultivator, and I've already returned it. So, I apologize, but I can't lend it to you," Lu Xuan quickly made up an excuse to decline Chen Luo's request.
"Then... could you perhaps transcribe the contents of the text for me? I'm extremely curious, and I'm willing to trade a third-grade magical artifact for that information." Chen Luo persisted, his voice laced with urgency.
"Brother Chen, it's been many years since I laid eyes on that text, and I've forgotten much of its contents. Today, I only recalled it because those spirit beasts seemed vaguely familiar," Lu Xuan explained. "Moreover, it wouldn't be right to share the information without the consent of the owner of the text."
A third-grade magical artifact was indeed valuable to other inner sect disciples, but to Lu Xuan, it was hardly worth his consideration.
Besides, the reason he knew about the Confounding Heartworm was due to his unique ability; the so-called ancient text was merely a fabrication, and he couldn't very well share that with Chen Luo.
It would be awkward to explain that all he needed to do was feed something to an unusual spirit beast to gain all the information he needed.
"Very well, I apologize for being too forward, Brother Lu," Chen Luo said with a bitter smile, his expression shifting. His already cold features now looked even more sharp and unfriendly.
Lu Xuan bid him farewell and, using the teleportation array, returned to the formation hall. From there, he made his way back to his cave abode.
In the following days, he resumed his simple and peaceful life of cultivating spirit plants and beasts.
From Fire Linyer, he learned that all the spirit beasts in the blessed land of the Myriad Demon Cave had been inspected multiple times to ensure that no Confounding Heartworms remained.
Upon hearing that the issue had been resolved, Lu Xuan took the opportunity to pay a visit to the Myriad Demon Cave. He brought some spirit fruits and nectars to the little white ape and the Xuan Tian Luan bird, who hadn't been to his cave in a long time. While there, he also took a trip to the forbidden area to visit the Qingqiu Fox, who was dedicated to studying spirit beasts.
Of course, he didn't forget about the old dragon turtle who shared his interest in spirit beasts. The two of them, despite their age difference, spent half a day chatting, and Lu Xuan learned quite a few interesting tidbits about the sect's Immortals and True Lords.
On this particular day, Lu Xuan performed a round of basic spells like the Spirit Rain Technique in his spirit fields. He also spent an hour in front of the White Bone Killing Sword Grass spirit plant, meditating on the killing intent of the sword. Afterward, he tended to the remaining sword grasses, arrow vines, Jade Dew fruits, and Hidden Origin Grass spirit plants.
"I should pay a visit to the incomplete secret realm to see if the spirit plants there have matured," he thought. "Additionally, although I don't have the right conditions for the Yuan Magnet Spirit Wood spirit plant to grow, placing it in the incomplete secret realm and nourishing it with the pure spiritual energy there would still be better than keeping it in the Gluttonous Worm Pouch."
With that decision made, Lu Xuan set out for the incomplete secret realm.
The secret realm contained most of the high-grade normal spirit plants, including several fifth-grade varieties and even a sixth-grade Phoenix Wood, which was even more important than the spirit plants in his cave's spirit fields.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
The palm-sized light green sprites chirped happily, expressing their affection for Lu Chen.
Having remained in the isolated secret realm all these years, the only living being they had encountered was Lu Chen, and he had nurtured them with his Greenwood Source Qi, so they naturally felt a strong bond with him.
"You little rascals."
Lu Chen's lips curved into a slight smile as he greeted the tiny creatures that played a role in promoting the growth of spirit plants.
The pale green light cluster in his dantian rotated gently, and a faint pale green spiritual energy emanated from his fingertips, infusing the wood spirits with vitality.
Absorbing the nourishing Greenwood Source Qi, the wood spirits joyfully fluttered around him, accompanying Lu Chen as he inspected each spirit plant in the secret realm.
"Looks like some of the spirit plants have indeed matured!"
Lu Chen's heart leaped with joy as he approached the Falling Thunder Tree, a fourth-grade spirit plant.
He focused his mental energy, and the translucent progress bar below the tree filled up completely.
The once withered and charred wood had undergone a remarkable transformation. It now teemed with vitality, as if imbued with the power of thunder. Silver-white thunder patterns crawled across its surface, fierce and imposing.
Above the Falling Thunder Tree, two Chituo Stones, which Lu Chen had placed to continuously release lightning force, hovered with numerous cracks, on the verge of becoming useless.
Lu Chen plucked the Falling Thunder Tree and focused his mental energy, causing a thought to emerge in his mind.
Falling Thunder Tree, a fourth-grade spirit plant, nurtured and cultivated with the power of thunder. Once matured, it can be used to refine wooden talismans, swords, seals, and other magical artifacts. It naturally carries the aura of thunder, possessing a strong restraining effect on demons, evil spirits, and dark cultivators.
"It has grown into a high-quality fourth-grade spirit plant. My efforts in finding the Chituo Stones to nurture you were well worth it."
Lu Chen's face lit up with delight as he scanned the tree with his spiritual sense.
The higher the grade of a spirit plant, the more complex the cultivation conditions, and the lower the likelihood of obtaining a high-quality specimen. The combination of the incomplete secret realm and the Chituo Stones had likely played a crucial role in producing this exceptional Falling Thunder Tree.
"I wonder what kind of light cluster it will yield..."
He carefully stored away the Falling Thunder Tree and turned his attention to the faintly shimmering white light cluster on the ground.
With a gentle touch, the light cluster silently exploded, and countless tiny specks of light converged into the shape of lightning before vanishing into Lu Chen's body.
Lu Chen felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin, and a thought emerged in his mind.
Harvested a fourth-grade Falling Thunder Tree and obtained a fifth-grade talisman, the Grand Thunder Talisman.
As the thought flashed through his mind, a talisman appeared in his palm.
The Grand Thunder Talisman was silver-white, and holding it gave Lu Chen a subtle tingling sensation, as if faint electric currents were running through his body. Countless slender threads of thunder raged within the talisman, seemingly poised to unleash a devastating force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Lu Chen focused his mental energy on the silver-white talisman in his hand, and instantly, detailed information about the talisman was revealed to him.
Grand Thunder Talisman, a fifth-grade talisman, crafted from heavenly thunder beyond the cosmos. Once activated, it can instantly release thousands of Grand Thunder Lights, inflicting severe damage or even obliterating cultivators in the early stages of the Core Formation realm.
It possesses an innate restraining effect on demons, evil spirits, and dark cultivators who practice corresponding techniques.
This is a single-use talisman. Once activated, the thunderous force within will be unleashed all at once, indiscriminately attacking all living beings within a certain range. Use with caution.
