Chapter 923: Spirit Herbologist Lu Chen
Chapter 923: Spirit Herbologist Lu Chen
Outside the Li Yang Dao Zong sect.
Ge Pu and his two companions were accommodated in a quiet and secluded courtyard. Mo Yuanfeng, being at the Nascent Soul level of cultivation and a direct disciple of the Sword Sect, resided alone on a picturesque peak.
Early the next morning, Ge Pu opened his eyes, the faint spiritual light in his black and white irises fading away.
After a night of meditation, his mind and body had been adjusted to their peak state.
"Senior Brother Zhou is practicing his sword techniques again."
In the courtyard, transparent sword auras appeared and disappeared, merging and separating in a mysterious dance.
As for the other senior brother, it was obvious he was still fast asleep.
"Senior Brother Wan, Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Ge, how did you rest?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice entered the three disciples' ears, and a handsome young Daoist priest entered the courtyard.
"Greetings, Qing Xu Daoist friend."
Ge Pu quickly greeted him.
The Qing Xu Daoist before them was the Li Yang Dao Zong inner disciple responsible for settling them in, and he had reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation.
After some pleasantries, the young Daoist asked, "The three of you, senior brothers and junior brother, there is a gathering on Qian Yang Peak in the inner sect. Many proud sons of heaven from various celestial realms will be there. If you are interested, you are welcome to join and exchange techniques and skills."
"Various celestial realms? Are there any demoness present?"
Wan Zhong immediately stepped forward, his face filled with anticipation as he asked Qing Xu.
"Yes, there are several fox ladies from Qingqiu Mountain and other female demons."
Qing Xu replied truthfully.
"Fox ladies of Qingqiu? I must go and take a look."
"I wonder what it would be like."
"Senior Brothers, shall we go together?"
Wan Zhong turned to Zhou Chao and Ge Pu.
"Sure."
Thousands of transparent sword auras converged and transformed into a nearly transparent sword grass. If Lu Chen were here, he would surely recognize it as the Refracted Shadow Sword Grass that he had cultivated.
"We will follow your lead, Senior Brothers."
Ge Pu said softly.
Led by Qing Xu, the three disciples entered a tall and majestic mountain.
On the mountainside was a flat and spacious square, where hundreds of proud and lofty cultivators had already gathered, each with a cultivation base at the Jindan stage.
Among them, a small group of cultivators stood out.
More than thirty demons maintained a human form but still bore traces of their beastly features.
Among them were five fox ladies with country-toppling beauty. Their every smile and frown held a natural allure, and their several fluffy, white tails swayed gently from between their legs, stirring hearts with an irresistible allure.
"Ahem, my dear junior brothers, I have something to attend to first. Enjoy yourselves."
Wan Zhong's eyes lit up, and he transformed into a wisp of green smoke. Though it seemed slow, he was actually rushing towards the fox ladies at great speed.
"This way, please, fellow Daoists."
Qing Xu smiled helplessly and led Zhou Chao and Ge Pu to one side of the square.
After they were seated, a beautiful girl served them spirit fruits and spirit brew.
"Hmm?"
Ge Pu, holding a cup of spirit brew in his hand, couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"What is it, Junior Brother Ge? Is there a problem with the spirit brew?"
Qing Xu noticed the reaction of the Dong Xuan Sword Sect disciple and tensed up, worried that he had overlooked something in his hospitality.
As for Zhou Chao, his attention was completely captured by the intense battle between several cultivators in the center of the square.
"No, it's just been a long time since I last tasted this Hundred Fruit Spirit Brew."
Ge Pu smiled and took a small sip from the cup, savoring the burst of flavors from the multiple fruits.
He closed his eyes, relishing the explosion of tastes on his taste buds.
"It's still the same familiar taste."
Ge Pu's face involuntarily showed a trance-like expression.
He remembered back when he was still in Tian Jian Zong, every time he visited Lu Chen, his junior disciple, he would often get to drink the Hundred Fruit Spirit Brew.
After entering the Dong Xuan Realm, although he occasionally tasted it and had drunk several better spirit brews than the Hundred Fruit Spirit Brew, he never felt the same as he did in the past.
"If Junior Brother Ge likes it, feel free to drink as much as you want. The sect has prepared quite a lot," Daoist Qing Xu said, relaxing upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Daoist Qing Xu. This Hundred Fruit Spirit Brew is of excellent quality, it's a real treat," Ge Pu flattered.
"Haha, this is made by the most famous spirit brew master in Li Yang. It's very difficult for ordinary cultivators to buy it. If Junior Brother Ge is interested, I can take you to buy some to bring back to Dong Xuan Jian Zong," Daoist Qing Xu offered.
"Okay," Ge Pu nodded, his gaze drawn to the center of the square.
Unconsciously, his senior brother Zhou, who was obsessed with the sword path and had a fierce killing intent, had already started sparring with others.
Soon, three Jindan swordsmen were defeated by him, each of them conceding with admiration.
"As expected of one of the top sword sects in the multiverse, Senior Brother Zhou alone easily defeated several other friends," Daoist Qing Xu, standing beside them, sighed.
The sparring in the square was always light and friendly, and never escalated into full-blown conflicts.
After all, those who were invited to the Wan Ling Assembly were all upper-echelon cultivators in terms of cultivation base, strength, and background. Any conflicts would be hard to resolve and might even offend the Li Yang Dao Zong.
"Senior Brother Zhou is also one of the most powerful inner disciples in the Sword Sect," Ge Pu smiled.
Zhou Chao hadn't used any secret sword techniques, relying only on his Refracted Shadow Sword Grass and his skill in sword qi division to easily suppress the several swordsmen present.
"The sword qi Senior Brother Zhou emits gives me a sense of deja vu, as if there is a treasure that can evoke similar sword qi," Daoist Qing Xu murmured.
"Oh? What treasure is it? May I take a look?" Ge Pu's curiosity was piqued.
"This treasure is called the Little Dong Xuan Sword Gourd; I wonder if it has any connection to the Dong Xuan Sword Sect," Daoist Qing Xu said as he waved his hand, and a mottled green gourd appeared in front of him.
The gourd emitted a clear sword ringing sound, and when it was gently shaken, a pure sword qi shot out.
"Dong Xuan Sword Intent?" Ge Pu blurted out, recognizing the clear and insightful feeling of the sword qi, which seemed to see through all things.
Although he was not a swordsman, he had cultivated in the Dong Xuan Sword Sect for many years and was very familiar with this special sword intent that only the powerful swordsmen of the sect could master.
"Daoist Qing Xu, may I ask where you got this Little Dong Xuan Sword Gourd? The cultivator behind it may have a great relationship with the Dong Xuan Sword Sect," Ge Pu asked hurriedly.
"Speaking of which, this Little Dong Xuan Sword Gourd and the Hundred Fruit Spirit Brew actually came from the same place, from that spirit brew master I mentioned earlier," Daoist Qing Xu replied.
"He is not only proficient in several top-notch spirit brews but is even more famous for his skill in spirit planting. In the entire Li Yang realm, he is considered the most famous spirit planter," Daoist Qing Xu continued.
"Spirit Planter? May I ask his name...?" Ge Pu asked, his breath quickening as he thought of a possibility.
"It's indeed Spirit Planter Lu Chen!"
