Chapter 878: The Nine True Spirit Leaves
"Speaking of which, that fragmented cave heaven is not far from the Thousand Treasure Spirit River. At the speed of a late-stage Pill Formation cultivator, it would take only three to five days to get there."
"Of course, if you want to find a node suitable for fishing, that would take additional time."
The spirit of the artifact cocked its pointed head as it spoke.
"Understood, senior," nodded Lu Chen. He estimated that with the speed of the Chileiy Wing, the time could be reduced significantly, perhaps to just a day or two.
Even though the artifact spirit had slowed down, it was still much faster than Lu Chen's own flight.
In less than half a day, the two of them traversed a thick mist and landed on an island.
"We've arrived. This is the fragmented cave heaven I mentioned."
"I wonder what caused this cave heaven to shatter, leaving only this fragment that I found. Now, I entrust it to you, Lu Chen."
The artifact spirit said with a smile.
"This is a fragment?" Lu Chen asked, sweeping his spiritual sense over the area. He immediately noticed that the island spanned hundreds of miles, and he had a head full of question marks regarding the so-called "fragment" that the artifact spirit spoke of.
However, he was soon captivated by the unusual phenomena all over the island.
Above, spirit energy transformed into waterfalls that poured down from an unknown height, landing on the ground and creating billowing mists.
The island was lush with greenery, filled with towering spirit trees and vibrant vegetation. The vitality of the plants and trees was so rich that their fragrance permeated the air around Lu Chen.
At the center of the island was a lake spanning dozens of miles in length and width.
The lake's surface rippled with gentle waves, and wisps of white mist rose from it, a testament to the purity and abundance of its spiritual energy.
"The poor creatures in the cave abode will finally have a better life."
As soon as Lu Chen laid eyes on the lake, he thought of the aquatic spirit beasts in his cave abode.
Due to the limited space, most of the area was occupied by spirit fields, so he had created a small pond for them to reside in.
The Fire Dragonfish, Green-Horned Dragon Carp, Rock-Armored Turtle, and three small crocodile dragons were cramped together, with very limited space to move around.
If he released them into this lake in the fragmented cave heaven, it would be like setting them free in a vast new world.
Additionally, a vein of spiritual energy crisscrossed the island, with streams of luminous light rising from it, giving the place an otherworldly, ethereal appearance.
On the northern side of the island stood a massive palace. Its towering stone pillars reached high into the clouds, as if propping up the sky itself, and rumbling thunder could be heard emanating from within.
The jungle and lake were also home to leaping mystical beasts, peculiar fish, and roaming spirits.
"When I first came to this cave heaven, I released some spirit beasts and spirits here, but they are not of high rank. You should be able to handle them easily."
The artifact spirit spoke in a tone that suggested it was ancient beyond measure.
"Thank you, senior. I do have a fondness for flora, fauna, and little spirit beasts," Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Then, I officially entrust this fragmented cave heaven to you."
"I have a token here that contains a trace of the cave heaven's original source energy. In the future, you can use it to locate this place."
"The mist at the edges of the island naturally obscures it from outside prying eyes, but the space within is extremely unstable. Be sure to never enter it carelessly."
"Thank you for the warning, senior!"
Lu Chen bowed his head and accepted the peculiar token that the artifact spirit offered, expressing his gratitude.
"You're welcome. The reason I'm entrusting this fragmented cave heaven to you is twofold. Firstly, the cave heaven is limited in size, and the spiritual energy here is suitable for cultivating spirit plants. As you are a guest elder of the Commerce Guild, your skill in cultivating spirit plants is second to none."
"More importantly, I have a spirit seed that I wish to entrust to you for cultivation. It cannot grow properly in an ordinary cave abode, so I wanted to give this fragmented cave heaven to you."
"It's a way to make the most of this place," the artifact spirit said, nodding its head.
"Indeed, this is it."
The artifact spirit raised its slender wooden arm, and a mystical spirit seed appeared before Lu Xuan.
The spirit seed was the size of a fist and had a pale golden hue. Within it, faint silhouettes of nine unknown mystical beasts seemed to roam—the True Dragon, Phoenix, Kunpeng...
Lu Xuan focused his gaze, barely making out the silhouettes. "This spirit seed is called the Nine True Spirit Leaves," the artifact spirit explained. "Each leaf can condense a true spirit imprint, and a single leaf is already an eighth-grade spirit plant. When all nine leaves come together, they can bear a mystical Dao Fruit."
"As far as I know, cultivating these Nine True Spirit Leaves requires true spirit essence blood, but I've only managed to gather two types so far, hehe."
The artifact spirit scratched its pointed head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"An eighth-grade spirit plant! And it can bear a Dao Fruit!"
Lu Xuan's heart stirred with excitement, and it took him a moment to calm down. He unconsciously nodded as he listened to the artifact spirit's explanation.
"I'll leave the cultivation of these Nine True Spirit Leaves to you. I'll also work hard to collect the other true spirit essence blood!"
"However, let me give you a friendly reminder," the artifact spirit said with a toothy grin. "Don't even think about claiming these Nine True Spirit Leaves for yourself. As the artifact spirit of a high-grade spatial artifact, finding someone else is no problem for me."
"I would never dare to have such thoughts," Lu Xuan quickly assured, and to ease the artifact spirit's concerns, he immediately established a Heart Demon Oath.
At the same time, a shallow layer of spirit soil appeared on his palm, enveloping the pale golden spirit seed.
As he focused his mind on it, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Nine True Spirit Leaves: Can be nourished and cultivated with true spirit essence blood or the essence blood of true spirit descendants with extremely pure bloodlines. Mature leaves are eighth-grade spirit plants, imbued with a true spirit imprint. When all nine leaves come together, they can condense the Nine True Dao Fruit.
Upon consuming the Dao Fruit, one's physical body and roots will undergo a complete evolution, allowing them to manifest a True Spirit Law Body and master the mystical arts and secret techniques of each true spirit.
"A single leaf is already an eighth-grade spirit plant!" Lu Xuan took a deep breath.
"More importantly, it can condense a Dao Fruit, something that is only heard of in legends."
"From the introduction, it seems that each time a leaf matures, there's a high probability of receiving a light group reward. And when the Dao Fruit forms, there will be another light group reward. This is a huge gain!"
His heart was filled with joy, but he maintained a calm expression.
"Senior, I'm honored and grateful that you would entrust me with such a precious spirit seed. I will do my best to cultivate and mature the Nine True Spirit Leaves." Lu Xuan spoke sincerely from the heart.
"Good. This spirit plant is of great use to me, and I will definitely reward you handsomely once it matures."
"As for the essence blood required during the cultivation process, the early growth stages probably won't need true spirit essence blood. When it reaches that stage, you can come to me."
"Here are a few bottles of average-quality demon beast essence blood, all of which have some relation to true spirits. They should suffice for now."
True spirit essence blood was extremely rare, and the artifact spirit did not want Lu Xuan to remain on its body for an extended period. Thus, after taking out several bottles of high-grade demon beast essence blood, it specially reminded him.
"Yes, I will follow Senior's instructions." Lu Xuan was already more than satisfied to obtain such a rare and precious spirit seed.
As for the true spirit descendant essence blood required for the early growth stages of the Nine True Spirit Leaves, the artifact spirit could provide some, and he could also collect the rest on his own.
