Chapter 997: The Divine Wind Beast
"Keep up with him!"
In the void, the gaunt old man's excited voice echoed.
"Get ready to move."
A cold smirk appeared on the stern middle-aged man's face, as if he was relishing the sight of his prey struggling in his grasp.
"A rare chance to hunt a major sect's disciples."
With a thought, he and the other two moved in perfect unison, certain sect's mystical techniques. The three figures gradually faded, transforming into semi-transparent forms that were almost impossible to discern amidst the violent winds and thunder.
In the distance, Lu Xuan's familiar figure gradually appeared before their eyes.
When they were less than three hundred feet apart, the three cultivators' inner spiritual energies surged, and in an instant, they unleashed their magical artifacts, techniques, and talismans, launching a frenzied assault.
"Even if you are a Cavern Profound Sword Sect's disciple, the three of us, all at the peak of the Core Formation realm, will surely kill you."
In mid-air, Lu Xuan's figure suddenly halted. His eyes widened as he saw the magical artifacts and techniques about to strike his body. Suddenly, a layer of transparent ripples spread out, and his entire person vanished without a trace.
"This... spatial technique!"
Seeing the scene, the stern middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a chill. Spatial techniques were extremely rare in the cultivation world, and this one was no less powerful than the other.
Even though the major sect's disciple had a true embryo pill, and could grasp a technique like this, it was already completely beyond the middle-aged man's expectations.
Before the life and death battle, a piece of luminous robe suddenly flared up on his body, and before he could react, the technique had already enveloped him. Suddenly, a strange flying needle shot out.
"Ah!"
A piercing infant's cry echoed, and a green-black infant's face appeared in front of him, its features gradually enlarging, blocking his view.
The flying needle pierced like a bamboo shoot, successively piercing through the protective technique on his body, even through his ghost infant's protective robe and his sturdy skull.
"A seventh-grade flying needle class magical artifact!"
"Is this fellow the private child of a divine being from the Sword Sect?!"
A trace of absurdity flashed through his mind, then sank into boundless darkness.
Beside the gaunt old man, a deep purple jade slip appeared, its luminous flow swirling with countless bolts of lightning, forming a deep purple sea that enveloped the old man's body.
On the other side, a monk in a gray robe chanted, and golden lotuses floated from the depths of the void, a blurry figure of a dozen feet tall Vajra Dharma manifestation appearing before him.
A massive palm, as if cast from pure gold, descended from the heavens. It had dark golden patterns on it,, seemingly containing the true intent of the Buddhist sect, making one feel a sense of awe and the inability to resist.
Lu Xuan held a pale white lantern, from which countless tentacle-like crimson tassels dangled, and inside which a ghastly pale candle burned, with three blurry faces barely discernible, the figures of the three cultivators.
"Pity that the Southern Ming lightning fire was a bit too overbearing,, burning the old man's body to ashes. If I hadn't acted in time, this divine soul would have been burned to nothing."
."
Lu Xuan gently shook the soul-guiding lantern, sighing inwardly.
.
After deploying the Southern Ming lightning fire mirror and the Yin-Yang magnetic divine needle, both middle-grade magical artifacts, and using the Lesser Teleportation Technique and the Immovable Vajra Seal, both middle-grade mystical techniques, the three tribulations cultivators who had come to ambush him didn't last for a few rounds before dying one after another.
He briefly processed the three cultivators' flesh and souls, then stored their storage bags in his own.
Lu Xuan ordered the Flower Servant to keep watch while he examined the few storage bags in his hand.
After breaking the seals, he began to take out the treasures one by one.
Three high-grade spirit stones, hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, and a large number of low-grade spirit stones, totaling over 400,000 low-grade spirit stones—this could be considered a substantial fortune.
There were several fifth-rank magical artifacts and a few low-rank magical treasures, along with a pile of elixirs and talismans, which could fetch a good number of spirit stones.
Five sixth-rank magical artifacts, which was quite impressive for a solitary cultivator.
One of them, a perfectly preserved sixth-rank magical robe, caught Lu Xuan's attention.
The robe offered excellent protection, automatically safeguarding its wearer during an attack while also concealing the cultivator's aura and form. It was just enough to catch Lu Xuan's eye.
Additionally, a deep blue jade slip contained a low-rank magical technique called Divine Speed, which significantly increased a cultivator's speed and was quite practical.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan had already mastered the Lesser Teleportation Technique and saw no reason to spend time on a lower-rank skill like Divine Speed.
"This spirit beast bag must contain the strange beast that has been following me."
Lu Xuan held the spirit beast bag, speaking to himself.
Through the vision shared by the Flower Servant, he had discovered a multi-eared strange beast. The three cultivators had been able to track him thanks to this beast.
He set up a barrier around the area and then opened the spirit beast bag.
A gentle breeze wafted out of the bag, and upon looking inside, he found it empty.
"Quite the skill."
Lu Xuan smiled as he watched the breeze search for any weakness in the barrier.
A spirit pearl formed in his hand, composed of countless spirit winds.
As soon as the spirit pearl appeared, the breeze seemed to be restrained, transforming into an eight-eared strange beast.
The beast stared at Lu Xuan with red eyes, looking pitiful.
"Don't be afraid. I, Lu Xuan, have always been fond of small creatures."
Lu Xuan looked down at the eight-eared beast.
He offered a spirit fruit to the beast.
The beast took a gentle breath, and a spirit wind drifted into the fruit.
After confirming that the fruit was safe, the eight-eared beast swallowed it whole.
[Wind Listener, a seventh-rank spirit beast, a unique creature born in the Divine Wind Cave. In its juvenile stage, it is naturally free-spirited and unbound.
Formed from the world's spirit winds, it can freely switch between various forms of spirit winds and a physical body. It naturally masters wind-based magical techniques and secrets. During its growth, it prefers to live in environments with unusual winds, consuming wind-element spirit fruits and treasures.]
[Spirit of the Winds, forgive me for my wild and free nature.]
[A seventh-rank spirit beast, a Wind Listener! And it's still in its juvenile stage!]
Lu Xuan was overjoyed.
A juvenile spirit beast meant that once it was fully grown, he would receive an incredibly rich reward.
"Being able to listen across realms and communicate with beings from different realms would also be quite useful for me."
"It seems I should thank those three cultivators for such a grand gift."
"As a return, the best I can do is maximize your potential, not wasting a single bit of flesh, blood, or soul, and integrate you well with the numerous spirit plants."
Though he didn't know how the three cultivators had obtained this unique spirit beast from the Divine Wind Cave, Lu Xuan immediately decided to try and tame it.
