Chapter 560: The Yuan Ying Zhen Jun's Gift of Seeds
After dealing with all the spirit herbs in the incomplete secret realm, Lu Chen reluctantly returned to his cave abode.
The next day, he left the sect, transforming into a stream of light and changing his appearance as he entered Jianmen Town in a desolate area.
"It seems there are many more foreign cultivators in Jianmen Town," Lu Chen noted keenly, sensing the unusual atmosphere in the town.
"It must be those small sects or solitary cultivators who have sensed the undercurrents in the cultivation world and come here seeking the protection of the Tianjian Zong, which is not far from this place," he thought to himself.
"Unfortunately, the demons from outside the realm are truly powerful. Even a mighty sect like ours has to lie low and even relocate to another realm," Lu Chen shook his head slightly and made his way to the small courtyard in the netherworld.
Thanks to the protection of the fifth-grade Mirage Extinction Five Elements Array, no greedy cultivators with ill intentions had laid their eyes on the treasures within the courtyard.
Lu Chen swept the surrounding area with his spiritual sense, quietly deactivated the array, and instantly flashed into the courtyard.
"It was hard enough to create this netherworld courtyard. What a pity," Lu Chen sighed. It had taken so many sinister and exotic spirit herbs, cultivated over a long period with flesh and blood souls, to create this eerie and yin-filled yard.
Once those exotic spirit herbs were transplanted elsewhere, it would only be a matter of time before the courtyard lost its sinister nature and became ordinary again.
Time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to dwell on his emotions.
Lu Chen carefully extracted each of the numerous exotic spirit herbs from the courtyard, wrapping their roots with resentful spirit mud or ghost mud, and placing them into the Gluttonous Worm Pouch.
The sixth-grade Fierce Bone Demon Seed had such strict cultivation requirements that after returning from Black Star City, Lu Chen had simply placed it in the netherworld courtyard, nourishing it with the dense yin energy to keep it alive.
There was also the fifth-grade Saint Infant Fruit mother plant with its two child plants, the Yin Crying Wood, the Yuquan Flower, the Burning Soul Flower, and the troublesome Sha Yuan Fruit.
Additionally, he had the fourth-grade Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng and the third-grade eighteen Chi Qiu hands, all of which Lu Chen had collected through various means. Most of them were high-grade spirit herbs, rare and precious.
"Be a good girl and stay here for a while longer. Once I find a new place, you won't have to be cooped up like this anymore," Lu Chen comforted the pale pink meatball, the Flesh Spirit God. Its surface rippled with flesh and fur, revealing the numerous pouting lips within, as it reluctantly entered the Gluttonous Worm Pouch.
"Can't you look a bit more like a disaster-level evil spirit?" Lu Chen said, rubbing his forehead in exasperation at its appearance.
Although the Tianjian Zong was currently in a precarious situation, with everyone on edge, he still dared not expose the Flesh Spirit God. If he happened to run into one of his overly righteous uncles, they might take the opportunity to purge the sect of such an abomination.
Before leaving, Lu Chen collected every last bit of spirit soil from the courtyard and put it into the Gluttonous Worm Pouch.
Taking one last look at the now-ordinary courtyard, thick with yin energy, Lu Chen stirred his spiritual power, compressing the yin energy and burying it deep underground.
A plain and ordinary courtyard appeared before him, as if the previous hellish scene had been nothing but an illusion.
After storing away the Mirage Extinction Five Elements Array, Lu Chen restored his original appearance, and a clear-eyed, handsome young man walked the streets of Jianmen Town.
He strolled casually for a while before returning to the sect.
Having dealt with the spirit herbs in the incomplete secret realm and the netherworld courtyard, Lu Chen didn't rush to tend to the remaining spirit herbs in his cave abode. Instead, he took a short rest before heading to the Agricultural Hall.
If the sect were to relocate, the sword imprint in his possession would become useless. So, while not many people knew about the impending move, he wanted to exchange it for as many spirit seeds and condensation techniques as possible.
"It was truly fortunate that Brother Ge Pu informed me of this news ahead of time. It gave me enough time to deal with the numerous spirit herbs, and I was also able to exchange my sword imprint in time, minimizing my losses."
Chapter 560: The Yuan Ying Zhen Jun's Gift of Seeds
Having accumulated a small fortune through various means, such as cultivating spirit herbs for the Dan Hall, completing sect missions, and receiving rewards from the Jian Tang, Lu Xuan had quite a substantial amount of sword imprints in his possession—several thousand, to be precise.
He entered the inner hall and located the Zhang Ce, the inner disciple of the Sinong Hall, who was on duty.
"Greetings, Brother Lu. It's been a while. Are you here to exchange for some spirit seeds?"
A youth with a calm and restrained demeanor, whom Lu Xuan had met several times before, stepped forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Brother Zhang. I've been hunting demonic beasts and purging evil spirits outside, and I've exhausted all the treasures I had on me. I barely managed to escape with my life. This time, I plan to exchange for more spirit seeds so I can focus on cultivating spirit herbs within the sect." Lu Xuan explained with a smile.
"What types of spirit seeds is Brother Lu interested in?" Zhang Ce asked.
"How many fourth-grade spirit seeds does the Sinong Hall currently have in stock?" Lu Xuan inquired.
"The easiest to preserve is the Earthfire Heart Lotus spirit seed, and we have around ten of those. We also have the Xuan Bug Vine spirit seed, the Earth Emperor Date spirit seed, and four to five other varieties," Zhang Ce informed him.
"For the other fourth-grade spirit seeds that we don't have in stock, if Brother Lu is interested, I can keep an eye out and notify you once we have a sufficient quantity to exchange," Zhang Ce offered politely.
"In that case, thank you, Brother Zhang," Lu Xuan said with a smile.
He browsed through the spirit herb catalog that Zhang Ce handed him and decided to choose several familiar fourth-grade spirit seeds. The others either had demanding environmental requirements or complicated cultivation methods, and with so many high-grade spirit herbs already in his possession, there was no need to pursue novel fourth-grade spirit seeds.
"Then I'll take five Earthfire Heart Lotus spirit seeds, three Xuan Bug Vine spirit seeds, two Earth Emperor Date spirit seeds, and two Five Elements Fruits," Lu Xuan said with a smile. "Additionally, I'll need the condensation techniques for the Earthfire Heart Lotus and the Five Elements Fruit."
"Certainly!" Zhang Ce was astounded by Lu Xuan's bold request. He headed deeper into the inner hall to seek approval for the exchange.
After a short while, he returned with a peculiar expression, carrying over a dozen spirit seeds and two jade slips.
"Brother Lu, the Sinong Hall's Shishu has approved your request. Here are the corresponding spirit seeds and condensation techniques," Zhang Ce said.
"Twelve fourth-grade spirit seeds and two fourth-grade condensation techniques, for a total of eight thousand two hundred sword imprints," Zhang Ce continued.
"Alright." Lu Xuan nodded, and a small mountain of sword imprints floated towards Zhang Ce.
"Please verify the quantity, Brother Zhang."
"I never expected Brother Lu to be so wealthy," Zhang Ce exclaimed, impressed by Lu Xuan's substantial fortune.
"I've been hoarding these sword imprints for many years, and now I'm spending them all at once," Lu Xuan laughed, taking the spirit seeds and condensation techniques and returning to his cave abode.
"Elder Gu? What brings you here? Please, come in," Lu Xuan greeted a handsome young man standing quietly outside his cave, surrounded by countless sword qi shadows.
It was none other than the Golden Core cultivator, Gu Jiankong, who presided over the Jian Tang. Lu Xuan was quite familiar with him.
"Land Nephew Lu, I have come to bestow upon you a spirit seed that has been treasured by a Nascent Soul Zhenren Elder for many years," Gu Jiankong said gently. "The Zhenren Elder is very impressed by your talent in spirit herb cultivation and is aware of your contributions to the Jian Tang. He has decided to gift you this spirit seed."
