Chapter 828: A Bold Move
Chapter 828: A Bold Move
However, with the light group's presence, Lu Chen felt confident about his future cultivation journey.
Thanks to the various rare treasures that emerged from the light group, he had grown from a penniless Qi Refining cultivator to a mid-stage Pill Formation cultivator and a renowned Spirit Herb Master in just a few short decades.
This rate of progress was no slower than that of the most talented direct disciples of the Li Yang Dao Zong, not to mention that there were also many high-grade spirit herbs in his spirit fields, including sixth-grade and even seventh-grade varieties.
Once those matured, there was no telling how much his strength would increase.
"Friend Lu, I have driven away those petty thieves," a voice called out. "If there are any dangerous situations in the future, feel free to contact me directly."
Tian Cang Zhenren slowly descended and addressed Lu Chen.
As the owner of the Seventh-grade Canglong Wood, which he valued greatly, he had to pay extra attention.
"Thank you, Zhenren!" Lu Chen bowed respectfully.
"Recently, news of a seventh-grade spirit herb in my cave residence somehow spread, arousing the greed of many cultivators who dared to attempt to seize it," he explained vaguely. "Thanks to your intervention, they will not dare to act so boldly again."
Although Tian Cang Zhenren had used covert means to give him the Canglong Wood, Lu Chen couldn't be completely sure that the news wouldn't leak. His explanation was plausible.
Lu Chen led Tian Cang Zhenren into his cave residence.
As he had expected, Tian Cang Zhenren didn't pay too much attention to the numerous spirit herbs hidden within the formation.
After a brief chat, Lu Chen brought him to the spirit field where the Canglong Wood and Huolong Grass were planted.
As soon as they entered, a faint dragon's roar echoed.
Tian Cang Zhenren's gaze was drawn to the huge crocodile dragon corpse buried in the spirit field.
"Friend Lu, you've even obtained a seventh-grade magical beast corpse?" he asked curiously.
"I happened to enter the Hei Shui Xing Cave and found a hidden secret realm in the sea, where I obtained it by chance," Lu Chen replied briefly.
"When I obtained this crocodile dragon corpse, the most precious parts and treasures had already disappeared. I came up with a way to bring it back to provide a suitable nurturing environment for the Canglong Wood. With the abundant dragon energy here, the growth rate of the Canglong Wood will be faster than usual, and the chances of successful cultivation will also increase significantly," he explained to Tian Cang Zhenren, who was observing the Canglong Wood intently.
"Friend Lu, you speak the truth. The Canglong Wood is growing exceptionally well," Tian Cang Zhenren nodded in satisfaction, a hint of praise in his eyes. "However, it seems that I was a bit hasty in giving the Canglong Wood sapling to you directly without much thought."
He turned to Lu Chen and said slowly, "I rarely cultivate spirit herbs, so I wasn't aware of the difficulties in cultivating high-grade spirit herbs. It must have been a lot of work for you."
Tian Cang Zhenren sighed as he looked at the crocodile dragon corpse buried in the spirit soil.
"Zhenren, you're too kind," Lu Chen replied humbly. "It's very normal not to know some of the secrets if you haven't dealt with many high-grade spirit herbs. Usually, pure and rich spiritual energy in high-grade spirit soil can promote the growth of high-grade spirit herbs, but the results may not always be satisfactory."
"Having cultivated countless spirit herbs, I've learned that there are all sorts of strange and wonderful spirit herbs in the cultivation world," he continued. "Especially with high-grade varieties, each one has unique habits, needs, and cultivation methods that spirit herb masters must carefully explore and summarize. After obtaining the Canglong Wood sapling, I researched and experimented until I found the best cultivation method for it."
Lu Chen's voice rang with absolute confidence in his mastery of spirit herb cultivation.
"However, it seems I've indeed underestimated the challenges of cultivating a seventh-grade spirit herb." Tian Cang Zhenren sighed as he witnessed the dragon corpse's role in nurturing the Canglong Wood.
"Let's consider it a favor I owe you," he offered. "I will still generously reward you once the Canglong Wood matures, and if you encounter any difficulties during its growth, feel free to come to me."
He made a promise to Lu Chen.
"Thank you, Senior!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up at the offer.
Since the Yuan Ying True Lord had brought the opportunity right to his doorstep, he felt it would be a waste not to take full advantage of it.
After some careful consideration, he sincerely said to Tian Cang Zhenren, "Senior, I am currently facing a minor dilemma."
"Oh? Please, go ahead and share it with me," Tian Cang Zhenren smiled.
"Well, although my cave residence's spirit field is rich in dense and pure spiritual energy, and the dragon energy is abundant, I still have some concerns," Lu Chen explained. "The Canglong Wood requires a large amount of high-grade spirit spring liquid during its growth, and if I can obtain a sufficient quantity, it will not only shorten the cultivation cycle but also slightly enhance the quality of the herb."
Lu Chen's statement was only partially true. His real intention was to acquire the high-grade spirit spring liquid for the cultivation of the seventh-grade twin white lotus spirit seed that had formed from the divided Dao Fruit.
As he was contemplating how to solve this challenge, Tian Cang Zhenren took the initiative to offer his assistance.
"Since the True Lord is offering his help, I might as well take full advantage of it," Lu Chen thought to himself.
Having a Yuan Ying True Lord acquire the high-grade spirit spring liquid would undoubtedly be much easier than doing it himself.
"High-grade spirit spring liquid? Quite a considerable amount, I presume?" Tian Cang Zhenren asked for confirmation.
"Indeed," Lu Chen nodded earnestly.
"Good! I will send someone to deliver it in a few days," Tian Cang Zhenren assured him. "There are various types of spirit liquids and springs in the Black Water Star Cave, and I recall hearing from a friend many years ago about a high-grade spirit spring suitable for cultivating spirit herbs that he discovered in a blessed land secret realm."
"The spirit spring is located in a peculiar spring eye, and there should be a substantial quantity," he continued. "I will pay a visit to that place immediately, and you shall await my good news, Little Friend."
After some contemplation, Tian Cang Zhenren shared his plan with Lu Chen.
"Then I shall trouble you, Senior Tian Cang," Lu Chen replied. "With your strength, obtaining that high-grade spirit spring should be a smooth endeavor."
Reassured by the healthy growth of the Canglong Wood, Tian Cang Zhenren bid farewell without further delay and departed.
Lu Chen watched as Tian Cang Zhenren's figure disappeared into the horizon before returning to his cave residence.
"I didn't expect to not only deter those ill-intentioned cultivators but also gain an unexpected bonus," he thought joyfully. "I help him cultivate his spirit herb, and he aids me in exploring a secret realm to acquire the spirit spring. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement."
"Of course, my gains might be slightly more significant once my needs are met," he added inwardly. "I'll help him explore the secret realm and obtain the spirit spring to nurture his spirit herb. In return, not only will I receive a substantial reward, but I'll also gain the light group's bonuses."
"That's the most important part," he concluded.
