Chapter 827: True Lord, the Celestial Dragon Wood in the Spirit Herb Field has Sprouted
With that in mind, Lu Chen took out a message talisman from his storage bag and infused it with a message.
"Brother Qi, it's been a while since we last met at True Lord Lei Huo's abode. I hope you've been well?"
"I was fortunate to obtain a Seventh-Grade spirit herb from you, True Lord, some time ago. Recently, I've noticed suspicious individuals lurking near my abode, disrupting my cultivation and daily life. I seek your assistance, Brother Qi, in maintaining order in Thunderfire Star Cave and providing me with a peaceful environment to nurture my precious herb."
After infusing the message, Lu Chen released the talisman, and it shot out as a black beam of light.
The person Lu Chen contacted was naturally Qi Wuheng, the Star Envoy of Thunderfire Star Cave.
He firmly believed that Qi Wuheng would help resolve this issue.
Firstly, it was only right as he was a tenant of Thunderfire Star Cave, paying a significant amount of spirit stones annually. Ensuring the tenants' safety was the responsibility of the Star Cave cultivators.
Additionally, the Twin Lotus Spirit Herb had originally come from True Lord Lei Huo, and he had publicly supported Lu Chen. If the herb were to be taken by other cultivators, it would be a loss of face for the Nascent Soul cultivator.
On a personal note, Lu Chen had once helped Qi Wuheng with a problem regarding a beloved spirit beast of his, and they had interacted frequently. Their friendship was quite solid.
Qi Wuheng's response was swift. In less than a moment, a replying talisman flew towards Lu Chen at incredible speed.
Upon activating it, Lu Chen heard Qi Wuheng's familiar voice.
"Brother Lu, I, Qi, am aware of the situation. Rest assured, I will dispatch men to thoroughly investigate the area around your abode and drive away any dubious cultivators, allowing you to focus on cultivating your spirit herb in peace."
"Your report is valid."
Lu Chen put away the talisman, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The next day, as he inspected the various spirit herbs in his spirit herb field, a loud voice echoed from outside his abode.
"Is Fellow Cultivator Lu within? I am a guard from the Star Cave, here on Star Envoy Qi's request to patrol and pass by your abode."
Lu Chen's spiritual sense swept out, and he saw a tall young man standing outside his abode, clad in heavy armor.
The young man was at the early stage of the Core Formation realm, and the intricate spirit patterns on his armor indicated its exceptional defensive capabilities, even to Lu Chen's current level of craftsmanship.
Standing behind the tall youth were five more cultivators at the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, positioned in a peculiar array.
Lu Chen flashed out of his abode.
"Greetings, Fellow Cultivator."
"Fellow Cultivator Lu, my companions and I have patrolled the area around your abode today and indeed found several suspicious cultivators. However, we have already driven them away."
The tall youth got straight to the point.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please, come into my abode and have a few drinks with me," Lu Chen smiled and invited them in.
"We appreciate the offer, but we must decline. We are on duty and cannot indulge in leisure. We will pay you a proper visit after our patrol shift is over," the youth politely refused.
"I just came to let you know that you can cultivate and tend to your spirit herbs with a peaceful mind."
"The area around your abode will be a key focus of our patrols for the foreseeable future."
The youth's expression turned solemn as he spoke to Lu Chen.
"Thank you for your efforts," Lu Chen expressed his gratitude.
After the report, the Star Cave guards intensified their patrols, and the results were significant.
With the assistance of the Void Nightmare, Lu Chen noticed a noticeable decrease in the number of cultivators loitering around his abode.
On rare occasions, he would spot one or two Core Formation cultivators, either skilled in concealment techniques or with cultivation bases and spiritual senses far surpassing those of the Star Cave guards, allowing them to evade detection.
"There are still a few rats hiding in the shadows.
Once he revealed that he possessed numerous treasures and superior abilities, it would be difficult to return to his peaceful farming life.
"I still need to rely on someone else to help solve this problem."
He fell into a dilemma.
There were just too many influential people he could call upon.
"I'll exclude the Blue-Horned Thunder Bull for now. Although it's powerful, if I let it appear near my cave abode, it would be like directly telling other cultivators that my relationship with the Thunder Bull is extraordinary."
"Additionally, there's the Sea Pavilion and True Lord Lei Huo."
"Oh right, I can't forget True Lord Tian Cang, who I entrusted with the Celestial Dragon Wood."
A thought suddenly occurred to Lu Chen.
"It's been several years since I started cultivating the Celestial Dragon Wood, and after obtaining the giant soft-shelled turtle's carcass, that seventh-grade spirit herb has finally taken root and sprouted."
"When True Lord Tian Cang entrusted the Celestial Dragon Wood to me, we agreed that he would check on its growth progress from time to time."
"Now, it's time to invite him over to take a look."
"True Lord, the Celestial Dragon Wood in the spirit herb field has sprouted," Lu Chen thought to himself.
He then took out the special pitch-black talisman that True Lord Tian Cang had given him.
After infusing the talisman with a message, he explained to Tian Cang that after much experimentation, he had found the most suitable method for cultivating the Celestial Dragon Wood, and that the spirit herb was currently thriving.
At the same time, he subtly hinted that there were cultivators with ill intentions lurking in the shadows, and requested True Lord Tian Cang to come and intimidate them.
After sending the request for aid, Lu Chen controlled the Myriad Barrier Spirit Crystal Formation to conceal the few seventh-grade spirit herbs in his core spirit herb field.
Although a Nascent Soul cultivator's spiritual sense could forcefully break through the formation, Lu Chen believed that Tian Cang would not be so impolite.
The next day, as he was using the Spirit Rain Technique on the various spirit herbs, suddenly, outside his cave abode, the spiritual energy fluctuated violently, and thunderous lightning raged through the sky.
"Lu Chen, it's your friend, Tian Cang, here to pay a visit."
A majestic voice echoed from the distant sky, rolling like thunder and reverberating through the surrounding hundreds of miles.
Soon after, a dazzling azure rainbow seemed to pierce through the Thunderfire Star Cave, stretching from an unknown distance to Lu Chen's cave abode.
In an instant, the rainbow faded, and a slender elderly man riding a wooden sword appeared above the cave.
"Lu Chen pays his respects to True Lord Tian Cang!"
Having anticipated this, Lu Chen quickly greeted the Nascent Soul cultivator, offering his salutations.
"There's no need for such formality, Lu Chen," Tian Cang said indifferently, and then casually swept his spiritual sense over the area within a hundred miles of the cave abode.
"Hmph! Sneaking around!"
He coldly hmphed, and a terrifying spiritual pressure spread out, directly suppressing several cultivators of unknown origin who were hiding near the cave abode.
"Senior, please spare us! We were just passing by and had no other intentions!"
The few cultivators were terrified and begged for mercy. At the same time, they struggled to take out tokens to prove their identities.
"This time, I'll let you off. If I see you here again next time, don't blame me for being merciless."
True Lord Tian Cang said coldly.
"Thank you, Senior! We will definitely not dare to be so rude in the future," the few Golden Core cultivators said gratefully, before fleeing in haste.
"This is the terrifying aspect of a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Lu Chen, who was watching from outside his cave abode, sighed in his heart.
With his numerous treasures and superior cultivation techniques, he had thought that his strength was sufficient. But after witnessing True Lord Tian Cang easily scare away those late-stage Golden Core cultivators, he gained a better understanding of his own position.
