Chapter 952: Everlasting Sword Sect
Chapter 952: Everlasting Sword Sect
Little White Ape carefully picked up a silver and white lotus seed and popped it into its mouth.
Instantly, a faint rumble of thunder emanated from within its body, and strands of lightning flickered over its pristine white fur.
The Fourth-Rank Thunderbolt Lotus seed contained a thunderous spiritual aura, causing the ape, who was tasting it for the first time, to shudder involuntarily.
"And there's also a Fifth-Rank spirit fruit... This is too much bliss!"
White Jade Holding-up-the-Sky Ape then stuffed the only remaining Scarlet Golden Lotus seed into its mouth.
"Whoosh!"
A surging fire spiritual aura raged wildly within its body, causing it to exhale sharply, shooting out a streak of scarlet flame like an arrow.
"Incredible! Just incredible!"
Little White Ape leaped several feet high, exclaiming in delight.
As for the cup of Ape Demon Wine, it was a unique brew of the White Jade Holding-up-the-Sky Ape clan, and its effects were needless to say. After drinking it, its body swelled up involuntarily, and its eyes almost seemed to spew fire.
"Lord Lu, take me with you! I'm really good at guarding the yard!"
It pounced on Lu Xuan again.
In this blessed land, although the spiritual energy was rich, absorbing and refining it every day made the ape feel a bit bored.
The Everlasting Sword Sect also provided spirit fruits and brews, but they were of average grade and even lower quality. Moreover, with the large number of high-level spirit beasts in the blessed land, an outsider like it didn't receive much.
Lu Xuan's arrival made the White Jade Holding-up-the-Sky Ape instantly reminisce about the old times when it used to sneak into Lu Xuan's cave abode to steal food back when they were in the Everlasting Sword Sect.
On top of that, Lu Xuan's generous gesture further fueled its desire to follow him.
"Do you really want to follow me and be my guardian spirit beast?"
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face as he asked softly.
The spirit fruits and brew he offered were expensive—several Thunderbolt Lotus seeds, a Pure Yang Golden Lotus seed, and a cup of Ape Demon Wine.
He did so because he had a deep bond with this White Jade Holding-up-the-Sky Ape. They had met when Lu Xuan was still in the Qi Refining stage, and the ape had even helped him during the battle against the evil cultivator who sought the Holy Infant Fruit.
Additionally, the Heart Ape Fruit from before had been given to Lu Xuan by the little white ape's elder for cultivation. Now that the elder was no more, giving it a cup of Ape Demon Wine was a form of compensation.
"Of course! This ape has wandered alone for half his life, never encountering a worthy master..."
Little White Ape bobbed his head as he spoke.
"I remember you used to be just belligerent. How come you've become more mischievous as you've grown up?"
Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
He turned to the wild girl beside him.
"May I ask, Senior Sister, what conditions must I fulfill to adopt a blessed land spirit beast as a spirit pet?"
"There are two conditions, Senior Brother, and you only need to meet one of them."
"The first is to consider the spirit beast's willingness. If the spirit beast, without any coercion, passes the test of the Spirit Beast Hall, then it can be taken in by an inner disciple."
"Secondly, it depends on the cultivator's realm. If the one adopting the spirit beast is a Nascent Soul True Lord, then it doesn't matter whether the spirit beast agrees or not."
The girl replied slowly, her eyes drifting to Little White Ape, who was enjoying the silver-white lotus seeds, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
Fifth-Rank spirit fruit, spirit brew... She wished she could turn into a spirit beast at that moment.
"Then, for now, follow me. I'm going to visit the old dragon turtle from the Everlasting Sword Sect."
Lu Xuan said to the White Jade Holding-up-the-Sky Ape.
Soon after, they followed the girl to a small lake that shimmered with a faint light.
"Lu brat? It's indeed you!"
As Lu Xuan approached the lake, a spiritual energy vortex appeared on the water surface, instantly growing to the size of a house.
A massive spirit beast with the head and tail of a dragon and the body of a turtle emerged from the vortex.
"How did Senior know I would come here?"
Lu Xuan asked in surprise.
"Have you forgotten my specialty, old timer?"
Countless semi-transparent lines appeared on the back of the ancient dragon turtle, frantically moving about to form countless bizarre divinations.
"On a whim today, I divined for myself and learned that an old friend would come to visit, so I've been waiting for a long time!"
The ancient dragon turtle grunted.
"Haha, I can't hide anything from Senior Dragon Turtle."
Lu Xuan quickly flattered, trying to smooth things over.
"You brat, you've already broken through to the late Core Formation stage? Not bad."
The ancient dragon turtle said in a hoarse voice, his eyes calm and peaceful.
Having lived for thousands of years, he had witnessed countless unimaginable things, and he felt only sighs and contentment seeing Lu Xuan become a Core Formation cultivator.
"Just lucky, I guess."
"Follow me to my cave abode."
The ancient dragon turtle blinked its profound eyes, inviting Lu Xuan in.
"Senior Sister, Little White Ape, wait here for a moment while I catch up with Senior Dragon Turtle."
Lu Xuan spoke to the wild girl, understanding her intentions.
"Okay, I'll wait here for you, Senior Brother."
The wild girl was perceptive and chose to wait by the lake without asking further questions.
Lu Xuan leaped into the small lake and followed the ancient dragon turtle. After a few breaths, they entered an underwater cave abode.
"Senior Dragon Turtle, it's been a long time. I've brought a few bottles of spirit brew for you to taste."
As soon as Lu Xuan entered the cave, he took out several bottles of spirit brew and placed them on the table.
"You're thoughtful, Lu Xuan."
The ancient dragon turtle calmly acknowledged, and with a flash of spiritual light, the bottles of spirit brew on the table disappeared.
"Senior, are you doing well in the Everlasting Sword Sect?"
Lu Xuan asked as they chatted casually.
"It's alright. The sect is safer, but there are more guardian spirit beasts, and it's not as free as it used to be in the Primordial Sword Sect."
The ancient dragon turtle replied nonchalantly.
When it was in the Primordial Sword Sect, there weren't many spirit beasts that could be considered guardians, and even fewer were stronger than it. After entering the Everlasting Sword Sect, it no longer enjoyed the same prominence.
"It's fine. I've been staying in this blessed land anyway, occasionally visiting the sect. It's quite nice."
"I've been passing the time with those two treasures you gave me."
The ancient dragon turtle smiled slyly, his tone implying, "You know what I mean."
"You're even better at goofing off than I am..."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
This ancient dragon turtle had a long lifespan, was adept at divination, could avoid dangers on its own, and had a laid-back attitude. Its life in the Everlasting Sword Sect, one of the great sects, was undoubtedly pleasant as it spent its days watching shows.
"I guess I'll be in the Everlasting Sword Sect forever..."
"Senior, can those two treasures I gave you back then, the Extreme Pleasure Scripture and the Alluring Sound Pearl, still be used?"
Lu Xuan coughed lightly, probing further.
Back then, upon learning that the ancient dragon turtle's life was dull and lonely, Lu Xuan had given it two treasures related to seduction that were offered by the Mist Immortal Peach Light Group.
One was the Extreme Pleasure Scripture, which could automatically release dynamic patterns, and the other was the Alluring Sound Pearl, which brought sound and color to the silent film-like scripture, making them a perfect match.
"They still work. After all these years, they're still pretty good."
The ancient dragon turtle remained calm and composed.
"But there's one problem..."
"Please speak, Junior. Perhaps I can help."
Lu Xuan quickly responded.
"After watching for so many years, I've realized that it's always the same content."
"The collection is too small. It's time for an update."
