Chapter 824: When Power is Lacking, Light Shall Fill the Void
Chapter 824: When Power is Lacking, Light Shall Fill the Void
"Taiyi Divine Lotus... a Dao Fruit..."
"I wonder if I'll ever be able to cultivate the legendary Dao Fruit," Lu Chen mused, a hint of longing in his eyes.
However, he quickly pulled himself back to reality. For now, he lacked the means to meet the cultivation requirements for the twin white lotus spirit seed before him.
"A large amount of high-grade spirit spring essence..."
Lu Chen felt a slight headache coming on. The spirit spring essence he currently possessed was mostly Snow Dragon Holy Spring, a fourth-grade essence, and Moonflower Essence, a fifth-grade one. Neither could be considered abundant.
"I'll have to go on a collecting spree," he thought to himself.
Lu Chen dug up the twin white lotus spirit seed from the spirit loam and temporarily stored it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch to maintain its vitality.
Back at his cave abode, he resumed his previous life as a spirit planter, tending to his spiritual plants and beasts with peace of mind as he awaited the moment of harvest.
One day, as he inspected the condition of his spirit plants in the fields, his spiritual sense detected unusual movements in the core spirit field.
In a flash, he appeared in the area where the Azure Dragon Tree, Dragon Transformation Herb, and Dragonbone Grass were planted.
As he passed through the restrictions and entered the spirit field, faint dragon roars echoed, and an oppressive aura filled the air, prompting an involuntary urge to bow down in submission.
Lu Chen's spiritual power flowed, and the subtle oppression immediately dissipated.
"Are those three little crocodile dragons about to hatch?"
His gaze was drawn to three pale jade balls in front of the huge crocodile dragon skeleton.
Fine cracks had appeared on the surface of the jade balls, slowly extending at a visible rate.
According to Lu Chen's perception, the vitality of the little crocodile dragons within, which had been dormant all this time, was becoming increasingly robust.
When the seventh-grade crocodile dragon met its end, it had used a secret dragon clan technique to temporarily seal its offspring, fearing for their survival after its demise.
Under Lu Chen's care, they were finally able to hatch successfully after being nourished daily with dragon qi and greenwood source qi for several years.
As Lu Chen pondered this, a cracking sound suddenly rang out, and the cracks on one of the jade balls rapidly spread, instantly shattering it into countless pieces of jade.
"Roaar~"
The little crocodile dragon inside threw back its head and let out a long roar, seemingly celebrating its return to the world.
The little dragon was about a foot long, and its small body exuded a fierce demeanor with a hideous expression as it waved its long tail at Lu Chen.
"This little thing needs some discipline," Lu Chen thought, and with a flicker of his mind, a green light shot out from the depths of the cave abode.
In an instant, the elegant and noble Greenpeak Kirin appeared before the little crocodile dragon, looking down at it with an indifferent expression.
The little dragon was about to let out a roar, but the kirin stepped on its head, causing the giant stone to shake and a pit to form in the ground. Amidst the flying dust, the little dragon's roar abruptly stopped.
Whether it was out of fear or simply from being choked by the dust, the other two little dragons soon hatched from their jade balls as well.
The trio surrounded the kirin, their playful snarls belying a hint of ferocity.
After a few reprimands from the kirin, they finally settled down, freely sprawled out in front of their mother's skeleton, and soon fell into a peaceful slumber.
Their expressions were serene and calm, perhaps sensing the familiar aura of their mother.
"Three sixth-grade young beasts... The amount of demon beast meat needed daily for the cave has increased considerably," Lu Chen sighed.
Fortunately, the small lake had already been expanded several times over, so he didn't have to worry about not having enough space for them to grow unrestrained.
With these thoughts in mind, he returned to the spirit fields to continue inspecting the various spirit plants.
After nurturing all the spirit plants, Lu Chen, feeling slightly weary in body and mind, returned to the courtyard.
He entered a refined room where tools and materials related to talisman-making were laid out—his usual spot for crafting talismans.
As the brush paused, it formed numerous spiritual energy nodes, each requiring an incredibly pure level of talisman-making skill and a powerful spiritual sense.
Once the initial crafting was complete, Lu Chen willed it, and countless wind and thunder sword auras swam forth like schools of fish, guided by him into the jade talisman.
His spiritual sense delved into the talisman, controlling the minute sword auras and seamlessly integrating them.
"Success!"
"A third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Talisman."
The jade talisman before him had undergone a significant transformation. On its surface, countless fine sword auras could be seen, like a wild wind sweeping through, with flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, depicting a scene of impending doom.
"Creating sword talismans requires not only abundant talisman-making experience but also a profound understanding of sword techniques," Lu Chen mused, gazing at the third-grade Wind and Thunder Sword Talisman in his hand.
Among the various sword techniques he had mastered, his proficiency in the 'Wind and Thunder Sword Technique' far surpassed that of the 'Peacock Sword Scripture' and the 'Blue Lotus Sword Scripture', thanks to his absorption of a considerable amount of wind and thunder sword intent.
Consequently, he felt most confident in crafting Wind and Thunder Sword Talismans.
"From now on, I'll have a new source of income."
"Sword Talismans are always in high demand at the General Store, consistently ranking among the top three items. They're perpetually in short supply."
"But sword talismans can only be obtained from Sword-Breeding Gourds and Sword Grass Light Orbs, which are limited in quantity."
"Now that I know how to make them myself, I'll be able to produce large quantities of high-grade sword talismans consistently."
"This will truly establish the reputation of my General Store."
As these thoughts crossed Lu Chen's mind, he followed his usual routine and opened his palm.
A crack appeared, and a grayish-white eyeball emerged from within. In its pupil, scenes played out—images shared by the Void Nightmare Eyes patrolling the surroundings of his cave abode.
"Thirty miles away, there's a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the middle stage who excels in stealth techniques. He's currently using his spiritual sense to probe and spy on my cave abode."
"His intentions are not friendly."
"I just want to tend to my spiritual fields in peace. Why can't they leave me alone?" Lu Chen sighed softly.
The commotion he had caused at Elder Thunderfire's birthday celebration had drawn too much attention.
The news of a rare seventh-grade spirit herb in the possession of a spiritual herbologist unskilled in combat would undoubtedly attract the greed of many cultivators.
There had been other witnesses to the seventh-grade spirit plants in his cave abode, including the acquisition of the Azure Dragon Wood and especially the Twin White Lotus, which could be described as the center of everyone's attention.
It was only natural that such a situation would arouse the covetousness of other cultivators.
After all, even risking one's life in a large secret realm didn't guarantee obtaining a fifth- or sixth-grade treasure, let alone a seventh-grade one, which was a one-in-a-million chance.
How could anyone resist the temptation of the definite seventh-grade treasures within Lu Chen's cave abode, despite the deterrence of Elder Thunderfire and the Master of the Mu Clan? Some would always be tempted to take the risk.
"My strength is still lacking," Lu Chen thought worriedly, despite possessing numerous rare treasures and a variety of powerful cultivation techniques and abilities. Caution was his nature.
"No matter," he said with a smile, looking at the thriving spirit plants in his spiritual fields. "The light orbs will come in handy."
