Chapter 884: The Beast's Transformation
Chapter 884: The Beast's Transformation
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's sincere words, Lu Xuan fell silent. From Ye Xuan's perspective, he indeed owed her a life debt. However, in Lu Xuan's opinion, dispelling the evil and toxic poison was a simple task.
The Hundred Poison Heartworm may have posed some risk, but it was well within his control. Allowing it to feed on the toxic poison was a means to expedite his breakthrough, and as a result, Lu Xuan acquired the latter half of the Disaster Poison Scripture.
He had benefited greatly from it before, and now Ye Xuanyin had helped him procure a rare and precious spirit herb, setting him up for another significant gain.
"Friend Lu, please accept this spirit herb."
"If this cause and effect is not resolved, who knows what devilish thoughts may arise in Ye in the future." Ye Xuanyin said in a low voice.
"Alright then."
"I do quite fancy this Spirit Nurturing Divine Tea spirit herb, so I won't stand on ceremony with you, Friend Ye."
"Thank you, friend."
Lu Xuan couldn't refuse any longer, so he accepted the spirit herb.
The two chatted for a moment before Ye Xuanyin stood up to take her leave.
"Friend Ye, wait a moment." Lu Xuan called out to stop her.
"Here's a bottle of Green Condensing Dew, a fifth-grade spirit brew. It has a nourishing effect on the divine soul and the physical body."
"More importantly, it has an excellent healing effect on various injuries."
"Friend Ye, you've been traveling and exploring secret realms for many years, and it's inevitable that you'll get injured from time to time. This Green Condensing Dew can rival some of the better healing salves." Lu Xuan said gently.
After obtaining the recipe for Green Condensing Dew, Lu Xuan set about refining it. Aside from other things, he had a significant number of high-grade spirit plants in his cave abode. The most challenging ingredient to acquire for the brew, the spirit dew, was readily available to Lu Xuan.
However, as a fifth-grade spirit brew, the refining process for Green Condensing Dew was extremely complex. Additionally, Lu Xuan lacked sufficient experience packets, resulting in a relatively low success rate, and he only had a limited quantity of Green Condensing Dew in his possession.
"Green Condensing Dew?" Ye Xuanyin looked at the bottle of emerald green spirit brew in Lu Xuan's hand with some surprise.
She extended her spiritual sense into the bottle and could clearly perceive the rich vitality contained within the spirit brew.
She had no doubt about the effects of the spirit brew. After all, Lu Xuan was already the most famous spirit brewmaster in the Liyang territory. Several of his spirit brews were highly popular in the Star-Plucking Tower, so the information he provided about the Green Condensing Dew was undoubtedly valuable.
"The Green Condensing Dew is indeed of great use to me, so I won't stand on ceremony." She pondered for a moment before storing the Green Condensing Dew away in her storage bag and bidding Lu Xuan farewell.
Lu Xuan watched as she walked away before finally making his way to the spirit field and planting the sixth-grade spirit herb into the Yuan Breath Soil.
"It does indeed have the rare effect of calming the soul and spirit. Prolonged consumption can also strengthen the divine soul and spiritual sense." A thought flashed through Lu Xuan's mind, and he nodded slightly.
"The cultivation conditions are relatively singular; only extremely pure spirit energy and spirit soil are needed. The next time I go to that incomplete cave heaven, I can bring this Spirit Nurturing Divine Tea spirit herb along and plant it there." He thought to himself.
After acquiring the Spirit Nurturing Divine Tea spirit herb, Lu Xuan returned to his farming life. Each day was spent cultivating spirit plants and raising spirit beasts, and his life was simple yet fulfilling.
Although it seemed mundane, Lu Xuan found joy in it. Beneath the calm surface of his life, the light sphere rewards brought about one wave of change after another, adding no small amount of surprise and delight to his days.
The remaining ten stalks of Thousand Lightning Sword Grass had successfully matured, and after collecting over thirty silver-white spirit herbs, Lu Xuan straightened his body. A faint, crisp sound of a sword keening reached his ears.
Following the sound, he looked over to the side where the Little Mystic Sword Gourd was planted. Each of the mottled green gourds hung from the dark green vines, gently swaying in the breeze, causing the Little Mystic Sword energy within them to react.
"The Little Cave Mystic Sword Gourd won't take much longer to fully mature. When the time comes, I'll be able to harvest another large batch of light sphere rewards."
After cultivating the Transplanting the Stars and Changing Days Sword Grass, he went to each spirit field, carefully inspecting each spirit plant like an old farmer.
"Landfriend Lu, come out quickly. Qi has something important to discuss with you," a familiar gentle voice called out from outside the cave abode.
Lu Xuan's mind immediately flashed with Qi Wuhei's face, and his figure flashed as he appeared outside.
"Landfriend Qi, what brings you here today? Feel free to stay for a chat," he said with a smile.
The two had known each other for over three decades and had a deep friendship, so they were quite relaxed in each other's company.
"Haha, I came here today to ask Landfriend Lu to lend me some face," Qi Wuhei said with a hearty laugh.
"Landfriend Qi, as the Star Envoy of the Thunderfire Star Cave, you are always by Thunderfire True Lord's side. Why would you need a small fry like me, a spirit herbologist, to give you face?" Lu Xuan asked, laughing lightly as he invited Qi Wuhei into his cave abode.
"Of course, it's because of your expertise in spirit beasts and spirit plants," Qi Wuhei replied.
"Oh? Please elaborate, Landfriend Qi," Lu Xuan said, his brows furrowed in confusion.
"It's like this," Qi Wuhei began, "recently, quite a few high-ranking spirit beasts in the Star Plucking Cave have been acting abnormally."
"Initially, they just became more irritable and harder to control. But as time passed, they gradually seemed to lose their minds completely, attacking indiscriminately, regardless of whether it was their fellow spirit beasts or cultivators, and even their own masters weren't spared."
"The Star Plucking Cave sent out many cultivators skilled in beast taming to investigate the issue, but they all returned empty-handed, clueless about the cause."
"Now, several Star Masters have joined forces to gather these abnormal spirit beasts together, while also closely monitoring the rest of the spirit beasts within the Star Plucking Cave."
"However, just as the saying goes, you can't be a thief for a thousand days, nor can you guard against a thief for a thousand days. It's unsustainable to be on constant guard, so we must find a solution." Qi Wuhei's expression turned solemn as he spoke.
"Makes sense," Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
"Landfriend Qi, are there any other common characteristics among those spirit beasts?" he asked.
"The spirit beasts are all of high rank, fifth grade and above. Some of them even include seventh-grade spirit beasts belonging to the Star Masters. They had all entered a large secret realm together to hunt for fiendish demons," Qi Wuhei replied after some thought.
"Are there any similar cases among the numerous loose cultivators in the various Star Caves of the Star Plucking Cave?" Lu Xuan inquired.
"There are quite a few Golden Core cultivators who hunt fiendish demons, but most of them can't reach the frontlines, and those with high-ranking spirit beasts aren't that many. So far, we haven't discovered any abnormal behavior in those spirit beasts," Qi Wuhei answered.
"Then it's highly likely related to the fiendish demons," Lu Xuan speculated.
"That's what the Star Masters suspect as well, but we still don't have a clue. The spirit beasts' bodies show no abnormalities, and with the True Lord's divine sense, we can't find anything amiss," Qi Wuhei explained.
"Landfriend Lu, you helped me with that Thunderwing Bird issue a long time ago. During Thunderfire Star Master's birthday celebration, you also received high praise from Senior Thunder Treasure Thunder Toad. So, I recommended you to the Star Master," Qi Wuhei said sincerely.
"I hope you can accompany me on this matter. If we can resolve this spirit beast anomaly, it will be an immense contribution. The Star Plucking Cave will definitely express our gratitude to Landfriend Lu," he added.
"Alright, then I'll go with you, Landfriend Qi," Lu Xuan agreed.
"However, let me be frank. I'm just a loose cultivator, and I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find the problem," he added modestly.
