Chapter 869: Light and Dust
Chapter 869: Light and Dust
"Intermediate divine ability, Minor Teleportation Art!"
Upon learning about the power of this divine ability, Lu Chen was delighted.
"It allows for instantaneous movement within a certain range, and with further cultivation, one can even ignore the constraints of most array formations and restrictions."
"My ability to protect myself has increased significantly."
Lu Chen couldn't help but marvel.
Compared to the Thunderous Wings, each had its advantages.
Thunderous Wings were suitable for long-distance assaults, while Minor Teleportation Art was ideal for escaping small areas, especially when faced with lethal danger. The teleportation ability might save one's life, and with further cultivation, one could even comprehend some spatial rules and be unaffected by most array formations and restrictions.
"With the addition of another divine ability, I'll have to spend extra time on my cultivation."
Lu Chen found himself in a pleasant dilemma.
"I also have two pieces of Clear Tranquility Lapis Tea Leaves. After consuming them, they can maintain my comprehension at a high level for a considerable period."
"Additionally, I'll need to commission the Sea Pavilion Commerce again and ask them to help me gather either the seeds or saplings of the Clear Tranquility Crystal Tea Spirit Plant."
He secretly marveled, feeling incredibly fortunate to have joined the Commerce.
Ever since becoming an honorary member, he had acquired countless Spirit Plants, Spirit Soils, and Spirit Springs from them.
"And this Sixth-Grade Flying Thunder Herb can assist in cultivating the Thunder Escape divine ability, and it also has a strong suppressing effect on evil beings. I'll keep it for myself."
With the Shen Xiao True Law, the low-tier divine ability Five Thunders Right Law, and some thunder-attributed secret techniques from the Thunder Manual, the Flying Thunder Herb would be of great benefit to him.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
At the foot of a towering mountain, more than twenty miles away from his cave abode.
The mountain was desolate, with gray-black boulders scattered everywhere, and occasionally, silver-white thunderbolts would crackle down from the sky, piercing the boulders and emitting a sizzling sound.
The Void Nightmare shuttled through the air, its body flickering in and out of sight among the dense thunderbolts, keeping a close eye on its surroundings.
Lu Chen stood at the mountain's base, his spiritual energy surging.
Suddenly, the sound of chanting filled the air, and golden lotus flower shadows drifted down from the sky.
Within the shadows, a blurred figure, dozens of feet tall, appeared—an incarnation of the Buddha. With a Buddhist seal, it pushed towards one side of the mountain.
The seal rapidly enlarged, as if containing endless Buddhist power, and countless rays of Buddhist light shot out, instantly landing on the boulders.
The boulders instantly shattered into countless pieces.
"This Immovable King of Wisdom Seal is quite destructive."
Lu Chen murmured in admiration.
The boulders in the mountain had been nourished by thunderbolts for a long time, forming a special spirit mineral. Whether it was hardness or spiritual energy resistance, they far surpassed ordinary stones.
Yet, these massive boulders were instantly reduced to rubble by a casual strike of the Immovable King of Wisdom Seal, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Lu Chen's figure flashed, as if crossing space, and he appeared directly where the boulders had shattered.
"I've also made initial progress with Minor Teleportation Art. Currently, I can teleport within a range of ten to twenty feet, and my comprehension of space has greatly increased. When facing low-tier array formations and restrictions, combined with the Eye of Illusion-Breaking Technique, I can see through them directly."
"As I improve further, both my teleportation range and my ability to break free from the constraints of array formations and restrictions will increase significantly."
He muttered to himself.
He then experimented with the Five Thunders Right Law divine ability, and after consuming half of his spiritual energy, he returned to the entrance of his cave abode.
There weren't many Golden Core cultivators living near his cave abode to begin with, and after the Heavenly Star Cave released those bounty missions, the few familiar cultivators in the vicinity rushed towards it like moths to a flame, disregarding the dangers.
Lu Xuan sighed as he scanned his spiritual sense over the area. Only after confirming that there were no abnormalities did he deactivate the Wanzhang Xuanjing Formation and enter his cave abode.
"Brother Lu! I've come for a few cups of your fine spirit brew!"
Half a day later, Mu Daoist's familiar voice echoed from outside the cave abode.
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense swept through, transforming into a silvery-white light that instantly brought him outside.
"It's nice to finally see a familiar face. Otherwise, Lu was beginning to bore himself to death."
With a smile, he welcomed Mu Daoist into his abode.
"Hahaha, that's the situation now. Ten out of ten caverns are empty, with their owners either hunting down evil demons or preparing to do so," Mu Daoist laughed heartily.
"Only hopeless cases like me, idle and useless, or those like Brother Lu, unskilled in combat and overly cautious, are left out of the demon-hunting frenzy."
"True. That place is a massive meat grinder, silently shredding countless cultivators' physical bodies and souls. It's best to enjoy this spirit brew with you, Brother Mu, rather than getting caught up in that chaos."
Lu Xuan smiled as he poured a full cup of Yu Xi Ling Luo for the elderly man.
As the old man took a hearty gulp, Lu Xuan casually swept his gaze over him, his mind already probing the other's body. Only when he confirmed that Mu Daoist was not possessed by an evil demon did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Mu, with countless rogue cultivators heading to Heavenly Star Cave to hunt down evil demons and compete for treasures, their consumption of various cultivation resources must be skyrocketing. I presume business has been booming for the Commerce lately?"
He asked, his curiosity piqued.
"I don't concern myself with that. Wen Lou handles everything, but seeing her looking so radiant lately, I'd say she's made a hefty profit, eight or nine out of ten chances."
"I've also received quite a collection of rare evil demon materials, expanding my collection."
As Mu Daoist drank half a cup of the Yu Xi Ling Luo, savoring the exquisite flavor of the top-grade brew, he casually replied.
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. From Wen Qian's messages, he knew that recently, two types of treasures, the Dichen Dan and the Jian Fu, had been in high demand at the grocery store, with supply struggling to keep up.
In his last message, Wen Qian had directly stated that stocks were running low, subtly hinting for Lu Xuan to replenish their inventory soon.
"As expected, large-scale battles are the easiest way to make a fortune."
Lu Xuan had no choice but to allocate more time to refining the Dichen Dan and drawing the Jian Fu, despite his focus on farming.
Fortunately, having absorbed a plethora of related experience packets, his success rates were terrifyingly high, minimizing the time taken away from his farming endeavors.
"By the way, Brother Lu, I didn't come here just for your spirit brew. I've brought you a fine treasure!"
Mu Daoist said with an air of mystery.
"Oh? Don't keep me in suspense, Brother Mu. Show me what you've got!"
Lu Xuan urged.
"A fifth-grade special spirit soil, the Light Dust."
In the old man's palm appeared a handful of golden sand, shimmering with a subtle light that fluctuated between brightness and darkness as if absorbing the surrounding light.
"It can absorb light from a certain area and integrate it into itself. It's especially beneficial for those rare spirit plants that thrive in brightness."
"After you commissioned the Commerce to help gather it, we found a few portions of Light Dust in the headquarters' treasury and other branches."
"However, the total quantity isn't much. Altogether, it's less than nine jin."
The old man smiled as he explained.
