Chapter 969: The Spirit Plants in My Hometown Are About to Mature
"Of course, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you, Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan chuckled awkwardly.
"It's indeed not a trivial matter, but with your abilities, Senior Brother Mo, it shouldn't be a problem."
He started with a compliment.
"I want to purchase a Seventh-Rank treasure from the Sword Palace's treasury, but unfortunately, my cultivation level doesn't meet the requirements, and my contributions to the sect are limited. I can only rely on you to help me obtain it."
"The Sword Seals required for the treasure will be provided by me."
Lu Xuan's expression turned serious as he spoke solemnly.
"A Seventh-Rank treasure? Junior Brother Lu, you're a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Why do you want to obtain a Seventh-Rank treasure?"
Mo Yuanfeng's face showed a hint of disbelief. This was the first time he had encountered a request like this from someone like Lu Xuan.
"Moreover, the number of Sword Seals required for a Seventh-Rank treasure is not small. Are you prepared, Junior Brother?"
"I have enough Sword Seals."
"I entered the Heart Sword Lake last time and obtained several Shadow Stones, which I sold for a good number of Sword Seals. Additionally, the sword talismans and sword essences I refined for Sword Peak far exceeded the requirements, earning me many extra Sword Seals. Obtaining the Seventh-Rank treasure shouldn't be a problem."
Lu Xuan explained in detail.
"What treasure could make you pay such a high price, Junior Brother?"
Mo Yuanfeng asked curiously.
"A bottle of Seventh-Rank Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk."
Since he needed Mo Yuanfeng's help to obtain the treasure, Lu Xuan had no reason to hide it and immediately replied.
"Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk is incredibly rich in vital energy. I have a high-rank spirit seed with very little vital energy left, and I need the Spirit Milk to restore it."
"To restore a spirit seed, it must be at least Seventh-Rank. Using the same number of Sword Seals to exchange for a Seventh-Rank spirit seed would be more than enough. Have you considered this, Junior Brother?"
Mo Yuanfeng reminded Lu Xuan.
"I am aware of this."
Lu Xuan paused for a moment.
"The reason I am eager to obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk is that the Seventh-Rank spirit seed is extremely rare and valuable. It will greatly assist me in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future."
Lu Xuan improvised.
"I see."
Mo Yuanfeng nodded lightly.
"Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk is indeed a rare and precious resource. It's no wonder you want it so badly, considering the rarity of spirit seeds that aid in Nascent Soul breakthrough."
"Alright, I'll help you obtain the Spirit Milk."
Lu Xuan's skills in spirit cultivation, spirit brewing, and talisman making were among the best in True Sword Peak. Such a rare and talented support cultivator's request naturally needed to be met.
Although the request to obtain the treasure on his behalf sounded a bit absurd, Mo Yuanfeng didn't hesitate and agreed.
"Senior Brother Mo, I have already determined the price of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. Here are 21,000 Sword Seals. To be safe, please obtain it for me as soon as possible."
Lu Xuan handed over the required Sword Seals and earnestly instructed.
"Over 20,000 Sword Seals, Junior Brother, you're really willing to spend a lot."
Mo Yuanfeng's face showed a hint of surprise.
"What can I do? I am deeply passionate about spirit plants, and this spirit seed is of great importance to me. I have no choice but to spend more Sword Seals."
Lu Xuan smiled helplessly.
"Alright, I'll be back shortly. I won't let you down, Junior Brother."
Mo Yuanfeng smiled and then vanished.
Less than half an incense stick later, a sword mountain's shadow appeared in the hall, and Mo Yuanfeng stepped out of the shadow.
"I've obtained the Spirit Milk. I didn't fail you."
The bottle of pure white Spirit Milk in his hand immediately caught Lu Xuan's attention.
The Spirit Milk was extremely viscous, and its rich vital energy almost seemed to seep through the bottle. Pure white spiritual energy rose and fell within the bottle, and the scent alone made one feel incredibly vital and full of energy.
"This is the ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk."
Moyuanfeng said gently.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo."
Lu Xuan took the white jade spirit bottle and expressed his gratitude once more to Moyuanfeng.
"There's no need to be so formal. Junior Brother Lu, take good care of that spirit seed. I hope to celebrate your advancement to the Nascent Soul realm soon."
Moyuanfeng smiled.
"Thank you, I won't let you down."
Lu Xuan said with a deep voice, then bid farewell to Moyuanfeng.
Back in his cave abode, Lu Xuan took out a long, white jade vessel from his Taochong Pouch and poured the ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk into it. A pale white spiritual aura rose like smoke, quickly filling the room with vibrant energy.
Lu Xuan then placed the dried vine into the vessel, sealed it with a restriction, and put it back into his Taochong Pouch.
"The seventh-grade spirit liquid, rich in vibrant energy, is now ready. Next, I need to gather a wood-type treasure."
"Relying on a Nascent Soul True Lord to help me buy seventh-grade treasures can't be done too often."
"If I do it too many times, it will inevitably raise suspicion and possibly bring unnecessary trouble."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
For a Core Formation cultivator to repeatedly ask a Nascent Soul cultivator for help in acquiring treasures, there are two major issues:
First, the source of the treasures. Acquiring one seventh-grade treasure can be explained, but acquiring several would be hard to justify.
Second, the purpose of the treasures. Seventh-grade treasures are usually in the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators. If it becomes known that a mere Core Formation cultivator has more than one, it will certainly raise suspicion and even envy.
"Soaking the Void Sky Immortal Vine will take some time. During this period, I can use my own abilities to obtain a wood-type treasure."
Lu Xuan made up his mind.
"I'll go to the Seaside Chamber of Commerce to gather information and take the opportunity to harvest a wave of light orb rewards."
"Having been at the Dhyana Sword Sect for over two years, the spirit plants from my hometown should have matured by now."
When he first came to the sword sect, he only brought spirit plants like Sword Grass and Sword Gourd, leaving most of them in the Heavenly Star Cave and the incomplete secret realm.
After this period, whether it's the Thunder Fire Cave, the Fenyuan Star Cave, or the incomplete secret realm, there should be spirit plants that have fully matured, meaning there are light orbs waiting for him to personally open.
"Within the True Sword Peak, there's a lot of freedom. It's a good time to go back and harvest the light orbs and visit old friends."
Lu Xuan thought, informing a few familiar fellow disciples about his upcoming return to the Cloudy Void Domain.
After a few days of preparation, he decided to set out.
In the courtyard.
"These spirit fruits are for your snacks while I'm away. Remember to guard the cave abode well and don't let anyone enter the spirit fields."
Lu Xuan handed a pile of spirit fruits and spirit brews to the White Jade Pillar Ape and repeatedly instructed him.
"Lord, rest assured. With me here, no one will dare to step into the cave abode and trample your flowers and plants."
The little white ape, with a deep sense of reluctance, promised with red eyes.
"Security within the True Sword Peak is not an issue. Just treat it as you normally would."
Lu Xuan nodded.
"But I'll miss you, Lord!"
The little white ape wailed.
"Alright, alright. When I return, I'll bring back those spirit beasts from the Heavenly Sword Sect for you to gather with them."
Lu Xuan consoled.
"It's a deal! I'll have a good match with them and tell them that I'm now the head guardian spirit beast of Lord."
The little white ape said with great enthusiasm.
