Chapter 937: Proper Arrangements
Chapter 937: Proper Arrangements
After acquiring the spirit seed of the Seventh Grade Infiltration Spirit Wood, no other high-grade spirit seeds appeared.
Lu Chen only managed to obtain a Sixth Grade treasure, the Yellow Sand Banner, which could control countless spirit sands inside to attack enemies. At the same time, it could also transform ordinary sand into spirit sand. It would be perfect for nourishing the Thick Earth Palace of the Eightfold Palace.
"I brought so many spirit stones, and I only spent a tiny fraction of them," Lu Chen thought with a sense of unfinished business as the auction came to an end.
To acquire high-grade spirit seeds at this Wanling Grand Assembly, he had brought almost his entire fortune, but unexpectedly, although he obtained two Seventh Grade spirit seeds, one exchanged with light group rewards and one gifted by Jian Hazhen, he himself didn't spend much.
However, overall, he had made quite a haul at this Wanling Grand Assembly.
There was the Seventh Grade Buddhist Incense Tree and the Infiltration Spirit Wood, the Sixth Grade Black Nightmare Willow, the special spirit soil Zhengyang Sand, and the Yellow Sand Banner—each of these treasures was extremely rare and uncommon.
"Lu Shi Zhe, the few of us have some matters to attend to. You can go back to your cave abode and make arrangements for after your return to the Jianzong Sect."
"I will come find you in the Tower of Plucking Stars in three days."
Jian Hazhen spoke to Lu Chen with a pleasant expression.
"I respectfully obey Master's orders," Lu Chen replied reverently.
Then, riding on sword light, he swiftly made his way back to the Tower of Plucking Stars.
First, he arrived at the Hailou Chamber of Commerce and, through the transmission formation, informed the Elder Spirit beforehand that he would be leaving for a while.
After that, he went to the general store.
"In a few days, I will be heading to the Dongxuan Jianzong Sect. The trip may last a year, or perhaps two or three. I will definitely return to Tianxing Cave," Lu Chen said.
"Here are some spirit brews, pills, sword talismans, and other items that have been stored beforehand. The store can continue operating for a while."
Lu Chen took out a large pile of spirit brews, sword talismans, and other treasures, handing them to Hong Qinghai and the other man.
The two men looked grave, their eyes filled with reluctance.
"Rest assured, I will not abandon the two of you when I go to the Dongxuan Sword Sect," Lu Chen reassured them.
"Since you two have chosen to follow me, Lu will definitely give you a proper arrangement for your future cultivation path."
Lu Chen comforted them.
"Perhaps, in the future, we will need to expand the store's business to the Dongxuan Realm and even other realms. You two should prepare yourselves for that," he added, painting a grand picture for them.
"Please be assured, Senior Lu. We will definitely take good care of the store!" Wen Qian and the other disciple promised.
"There shouldn't be any safety issues in the Tower of Plucking Stars, but one can't guarantee that something unexpected won't happen," Lu Chen said, his tone turning solemn.
"If there are any problems that you can't solve, you can seek help from the Wood Immortal at the Hailou Chamber of Commerce's branch office," he instructed.
Lu Chen had a good relationship with the Wood Immortal, having drunk spirit brew with him countless times. Before leaving, he had specifically asked the Wood Immortal to help look after the general store.
Without further delay, Lu Chen returned to the Thunderfire Star Cave.
Before going back to his cave abode, Lu Chen first went to see Qi Wuheng.
"Landfriend Lu, is the Wanling Assembly over? How was it?" Qi Wuheng asked, his face lighting up with surprise as he saw Lu Chen. He hadn't expected Lu Chen to pay him a visit.
"It was very beneficial," Lu Chen replied briefly.
"Landfriend Qi, I have something to ask of you this time," Lu Chen said solemnly.
"Please speak, Landfriend Lu. Qi will definitely do his best," Qi Wuheng said, his expression turning solemn.
"It's like this. I will be leaving the Thunderfire Star Cave for a period of time, and I'm a little worried about the many spirit plants in my spirit fields," Lu Chen explained.
"Although my cave abode is located in a safe area and protected by formation spells, one can't guarantee that some unscrupulous individuals won't harbor designs on the spirit plants within. Therefore, I would like to trouble Landfriend Qi to keep an eye on them."
"
As the Star Envoy of the Leihuoxing Cave, Qi Wuhedng had immense authority within the sect. Deploying the Tianxing Cave guards to focus their patrols on the area around Lu Xuan's cave abode would be no problem at all.
"Are you planning to go to the Dongxuan Jianzong Sect, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
Qi Wuhedng pondered for a moment before asking tentatively.
"Yes, it's time for me to return," Lu Xuan replied calmly.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. If there are any issues with your cave abode, I, Qi, will take responsibility," Qi Wuhedng promised.
Due to Lu Xuan's status as a guest advisor to the Hailou Chamber of Commerce and having once treated Qi Wuhedng's beloved spirit beast, the two of them had a good relationship and treated each other as equals.
However, upon learning that Lu Xuan was about to return to the Dongxuan Jianzong Sect, this balance was instantly broken.
The Tianxing Cave and the Hailou Chamber of Commerce were equally matched in strength and were both the second largest forces in the Liyang territory. But compared to the Liyang Daozong, they were clearly inferior.
And the distance between the Liyang Daozong and the Dongxuan Jianzong Sect was far greater than the distance between Tianxing Cave and the Daozong.
As a result, when faced with Lu Xuan's request, Qi Wuhedng was actually trying to curry favor with him.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi. Here's a bottle of Fifth-Grade Green Condensed Dew for you to taste," Lu Xuan said with a smile as he handed over a bottle of spirit brew to Qi Wuhedng.
Seeing that Lu Xuan's attitude had not changed despite his rise in status, Qi Wuhedng immediately relaxed.
Lu Xuan did not linger and, after entering the midst of the raging thunder light, unfolded his Chi Lei Wings. It only took him a few dozen breaths to return to the outside of his cave abode.
With a few days to spare before meeting up with Jian Hazhen and the others, he seized this brief opportunity to carefully nurture the numerous spirit plants in his spirit fields.
Subsequently, he summoned the Grass Puppet and the Lei Guigong.
"I'll be leaving for a while, so you two keep an eye on the cave abode and watch over the spirit beasts," Lu Xuan instructed.
"If you detect any cultivators attempting to break into the array, don't hold back," he added sternly.
With the Sixth-Grade Wan Zhang Xuan Jing Array protecting his cave abode, along with the Grass Puppet, Lei Guigong, and the Yao Gui Teng, all of whom possessed the strength equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator, he had nothing to worry about. Especially Lei Guigong, who was innately a Thunder Spirit, proficient in thunder techniques, and had consumed the Yi Mu Qing Lei Liquid more than once. He could easily handle one or two late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
"I swear to defend the spirit fields with my life!"
Lu Xuan felt a determined thought being conveyed to him from the Grass Puppet through his spiritual sense.
A smile tugged at his lips, and he summoned the Lei Long Kuang and the Qing Yue Lin cub to give them repeated instructions as well.
After that, he quickly made his way towards the Feng Yuan Xing Cave.
The numerous sinister and bizarre spirit plants within his cave abode were thriving, thanks to the steady supply of nutrients provided by his incarnation, Ling Gu. There was an abundance of flesh, skin, and Yin souls to fertilize them.
"I guess I'll have to wait until I return to harvest the Yan Shi Pi," Lu Xuan sighed as he planted the young Black Nightmare Willow sapling into the Yin-rich spirit soil, imparting the cultivation method to Ling Gu as well.
As for the safety of the Feng Yuan Xing Cave, he wasn't too concerned.
Ling Gu cultivated several superior techniques, such as the 'You Ming Zhen Shui Jin Fa', the 'Blood Sinew Technique', and the 'Blood Devil Refining Infant Technique'. He also possessed rare treasures like the Magic Buddha White Bone Body, the Hungry Ghost Giant Demon, the Mystical Demon Rope, and the 'Gui Tong Yi Tu'. Additionally, with the rapid growth of the Flesh Spirit God, he was confident that Ling Gu could handle any opponent short of a Nascent Soul True Lord.
After making sure everything was in order, Lu Xuan returned to the Leihuoxing Cave and compiled the cultivation methods for the Thousand Thunder Sword Grass and the Small Dong Xuan Sword Gourd, as well as the high-grade sword grasses he had cultivated earlier. He also transferred a batch of spirit plants into the Tao Worm Pouch.
Upon further consideration, he decided to bring along the Sixth-Grade Moving Star Replacing Sun Sword Grass as well.
These were his trump cards upon entering the Dongxuan Jianzong Sect, so he certainly couldn't forget them.
Once all his preparations were complete, Lu Xuan looked up at the void and snapped his fingers. A Dong Xuan sword qi shot out like lightning and disappeared into the clouds.
"Dong Xuan Sword Sect, here I come!"
