Chapter 853 - Celestial Illusion Forbidden Technique
After taking inventory of his haul from the auction, Lu Chen paid a visit to the Hailou Chamber of Commerce and picked up some cultivation necessities at the Star-Plucking Tower.
He left Hong Qinghai temporarily in charge of the shop, assisting Wen Qian.
With the shop's growing reputation, Wen Qian had been struggling to manage on his own, so the extra help was welcome.
Returning alone to the Thunderfire Cave, Lu Chen, carrying a large sum of money, arrived outside the formation.
He scanned the area with his spiritual sense, and with the occasional appearance of the Void Nightmare high in the sky, he confirmed that there were no abnormalities before opening the formation.
"After this auction, the shop's reputation in the Star-Plucking Tower will grow significantly."
"Fortunately, there are already many excellent treasures inside, so the new customers won't be disappointed."
Lu Chen sat in the courtyard, thinking to himself.
In the general store, there were two types of high-grade pills: the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Dust Cleansing Pill.
Lu Chen's skill in refining these pills had reached a masterful level, with an astonishing success rate. Coupled with the high demand for both types of pills, they were a significant source of spirit stones for the store.
In terms of spiritual plants, the Sword Gourd and the upgraded Small Cave-Insight Sword Gourd barely met the demands of the cultivators.
Additionally, it was worth mentioning the store's specialty treasure—the Sword Talisman.
In the early days of the store, Lu Chen relied on it and the Foundation Establishment Pills to establish his customer base. Due to their limited quantity, whenever they were in stock, they would trigger a rush among cultivators, with some even figuring out the release pattern and queuing up early to be the first to purchase the talismans.
Now, after absorbing the experience packages from several 'Sword Talisman Annotations', Lu Chen's success rate in drawing sword talismans was also impressive. With the light group rewards and his own talisman-making skills, he could easily supply the cultivators' demands.
It was also worth mentioning the three unique fourth-grade spirit brews: the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice, Jade Washing Spirit Dew, and Ice Marrow Spirit Brew, each with its distinct characteristics, which also attracted many cultivators.
Lu Chen alone could produce large quantities of these brews.
In addition, there were various rare rewards obtained from the light groups, collectively forming the treasure categories in the general store.
Upon returning to his cave abode, Lu Chen quickly resumed his previous life of planting and cultivation.
The Airworthy Spirit Plant, the Empty Cicada Tree, obtained from Ding Qingwen, had already been planted in the core spirit field and was being nourished by the Primal Breath Soil, Moon Spirit Dew, and Snow Dragon Holy Spring. Lu Chen estimated that the spirit plant's first few moltings would go smoothly.
The two remaining Pure Yang Golden Lotuses had successfully condensed seeds, yielding a total of seven spirit seeds, which was quite satisfactory.
Although Lu Chen had nearly thirty Red Golden Lotus seeds in his possession, those seeds could not be used to cultivate new plants, as they were still somewhat different from the specially treated spirit seeds.
It was similar to his past life's experience with vegetables and rice; the naturally produced fruits and seeds were usually unsuitable for cultivation, and special methods were required to breed suitable seeds.
Lu Chen placed all seven Pure Yang Golden Lotus spirit seeds into the Earthfire Vein, nurturing them with Pure Yang True Fire and other exotic flames.
The two Primordial Spirit Herbs he had planted earlier were growing well, having already taken root and sprouted. Their delicate seedlings seemed to be a condensation of pure, substantial primal energy, and one could sense their rich and dense aura from a distance.
As for the Double-Pupilled Flower spirit seed, while its vitality had slightly improved after such a long period of cultivation, it was still some distance away from taking root and sprouting due to the lack of exotic eyes.
Lu Chen was not in a hurry. When he returned to his cave abode, he made a special trip to the Hailou Chamber of Commerce and asked Wen Louzhu to help keep an eye out for exotic eyes.
However, the exotic eyes that met Lu Chen's requirements were not common in the cultivation world, so they had not been found yet.
"There are countless heretical cultivators within, practicing all sorts of unorthodox methods, so it should be relatively easier to collect what I need."
He thought to himself.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed.
During this time, Lu Chen mostly stayed in his cave abode, with the exception of a trip to the Thunderclaw Beast Territory to visit the rejuvenated Azure Horned Thunderwing, Lei Yi. He also took the opportunity to gather a large amount of dark green Thunder Liquid.
The Star Cave continued to be tumultuous, with frequent news of cultivators perishing at the hands of the evil demons.
Fortunately, Lu Chen rarely ventured out, actively avoiding the secret realms and dangerous places where the demons lurked, thus ensuring that his farming life remained undisturbed.
Each day, he nurtured his spirit plants, tending to their growth, played with his spirit beasts to uplift his mood, and spent his free time refining pills, crafting talismans, and cultivating his martial arts.
In the spirit field, a new spirit plant had reached full maturity.
Lu Chen's attention was drawn to the Five Elements Mystic Fruit, and he immediately noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar below it was completely filled.
This plant, a hybrid of the Five Elements Fruit and the Five Elements Illusion Array, bore a strange spirit fruit at its peak.
The spirit fruit was a mix of five colors, seemingly chaotic yet distinct, seamlessly fused together. It stood atop the plant, surrounded by swirling five elements spirit power, giving Lu Chen a sense of unreality as if it were half-illusory and half-real.
With caution, Lu Chen plucked the Five Elements Illusion Fruit.
Five Elements Illusion Fruit: The Five Elements Fruit, under the influence of the Five Elements Illusion Array, has been induced to evolve. Upon maturity, the spirit fruit contains abundant five elements power and can be used as a primary ingredient for refining high-quality Five Elements Pills. It also harbors a trace of illusionary spiritual energy, which can aid in cultivating illusionary arts and supernatural abilities.
"The Five Elements Fruit is already a key ingredient in refining the Five Elements Pill, and the improved Five Elements Illusion Fruit serves a similar purpose but yields pills of even higher quality and effectiveness."
"Additionally, it can assist in cultivating illusionary arts and supernatural abilities, making it a rather rare spirit fruit."
Lu Chen thought to himself as he stored the Five Elements Illusion Fruit in his Gluttonous Insect Pouch. His attention then shifted entirely to the white light group that had quietly emerged below.
The light group flickered faintly, imbued with a subtle flow of the five elements, making it seem even more extraordinary.
Lu Chen held his breath and gently touched the surface of the light group.
In an instant, the light group shattered silently, releasing countless microscopic light particles that soared into the sky and swiftly condensed into a slender light river, flowing into Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
Harvested a Five-Product Five Elements Illusion Fruit and obtained a treasure, the Celestial Illusion Forbidden Technique (Upper Volume)
.
As the thought vanished, a flood of information surged into his mind.
Esoteric restrictions and intricate array patterns flashed by like a parade of lanterns.
Lu Chen stood motionless, absorbing and digesting the influx of information in his mind.
Through this process, he gained a comprehensive understanding of the light group's reward.
Celestial Illusion Forbidden Technique (Upper Volume)
: A true inheritance of the Celestial Illusion Sect, this manual contains a wealth of knowledge on the deployment and dismantling of restrictions and arrays.
"Yet another fundamental technique originating from a major sect in the cultivation world. I've lost count of how many secret arts I've acquired from the various sects."
"I suppose it's a collection of the best practices from various schools of thought. Fortunately, I'm inherently cautious by nature; otherwise, if I were exposed, I'd be hard-pressed to defend myself against accusations."
Lu Chen chuckled softly.
"The only pity is that only the upper volume has been unlocked. The truly exquisite portion lies in the lower volume. Nonetheless, it's a good opportunity to progress step by step, and I can gradually complete it later."
He thought to himself.
