Chapter 998: The Kui Water Gourd
Chapter 998: The Kui Water Gourd
"Here are your two options: one, follow me. Two, go with your previous master."
Lu Xuan’s face remained expressionless as he glanced at the Eight-Eared Beast.
The Wind Listener lifted its head, its eyes a mix of red and green, and looked at Lu Xuan.
"The benefits of following me are significant. The spirit fruit you saw earlier is one of the lowest grades. Third and fourth-grade spirit fruits can be snacks, and the fifth-grade Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass can be consumed regularly."
"Furthermore, there are multiple fourth and fifth-grade spirit brews."
"Also, don’t you enjoy living in an environment with unique winds? My Wind-Stabilizing Spirit Pearl should meet your requirements, right?"
Lu Xuan opened his palm, and strands of spirit wind gathered to form a glowing spirit pearl.
The Wind Listener’s eyes circled the Wind-Stabilizing Spirit Pearl, clearly desiring to possess it.
"I am willing to follow my master."
It growled softly at Lu Xuan, conveying its thoughts.
"Excellent, you won’t regret this decision."
Lu Xuan laughed heartily.
A pure white flower appeared in his hand, the petals revealing everything the Flower Seductress had monitored.
"Indeed, I have been cautious enough. My speed is already much faster than that of peers, and without a spirit beast like the Wind Listener or speed-enhancing treasures, it’s hard to detect my movements."
Lu Xuan smiled wryly.
He took the Wind Listener and his other harvests back to the incomplete immortal cave.
The sky was filled with stars that gradually dispersed, revealing large, faint banners.
Lu Xuan entered the natural barrier of mist and landed on a small island.
"Finally, I have time to examine the two spirit seeds gifted by the Great Dao Sect."
Two dark spirit seeds appeared in his hand, their surfaces shimmering with a deep, ethereal glow.
Although he knew these seeds were of the sixth grade, Lu Xuan was still curious about their origins and cultivation methods.
With a thought, he teleported to a vacant spirit field.
Another thought, and a crack appeared in the earth, drawing the dark spirit seed into it.
His mind focused on the spirit seed, and a thought emerged.
[Kui Water Gourd, Sixth-Grade Spirit Plant. Grows in areas with dense, pure spirit energy and requires high-grade spirit springs for cultivation. Upon maturity, the gourd contains Kui Water Essence.]
[Kui Water Essence is a sixth-grade treasure, extremely rare in the world. When refined, it enhances water affinity, allowing control over water manipulation techniques and significantly increasing the speed of cultivating water-based secret arts.]
"Sixth-grade Kui Water Gourd."
"Fortunately, there’s a small, pure lake with dense spirit energy in the immortal cave, and I have plenty of spirit springs."
Lu Xuan mused.
He dug out the dark spirit seed and planted it in the lake.
Drops of spirit spring water, as dark as ink, were condensed to their utmost and fell into the lake’s depths.
When they reached the spirit seed, they split silently and seeped into its interior.
"Following the Sword Gourd and the improved Small Cavernous Sword Gourd, the gourd spirit plants now have another powerful addition."
He sighed, then began to inspect and cultivate the high-grade spirit plants within the immortal cave.
After finishing, he focused his mind, and over a hundred strands of spirit wind drifted in from all directions.
"This Wind Listener is indeed free-spirited. It wandered around the entire incomplete immortal cave as soon as it entered."
Lu Xuan fed the Eight-Eared Beast a Thunderstorm Lotus Seed and released the four Chi Tiger Fish from the Glutton Bug Sack.
The Glutton Bug Sack maintained the vitality of all living things, so even after being in it for over a month, the three surviving Chi Tiger Fish were still lively and full of energy.
As soon as he appeared, Lu Xuan unleashed a series of water arrows and water guns, casting spells left and right.
Lu Xuan directly suppressed the spirits with his spiritual power, turning the Phantom Shadow Sword Grass into translucent ripples that instantly gutted the three unprocessed chi tiger fish.
Three beams of treasure light erupted from their bellies.
"This chi tiger fish can store treasures in their bodies, but they don’t digest or absorb them; instead, they keep them inside, making it quite an interesting affair."
Lu Xuan laughed and stretched out his hand, summoning the first beam of treasure light. The radiance gathered, revealing a bizarre broken blade.
The broken blade was entirely crimson, with a sticky spiritual light on its surface, resembling congealed blood. A few more looks, and a savage impulse seemed to stir within him, as if countless murderous desires were influencing his spirit.
"This low-tier treasure fragment must have consumed a fair amount of the cultivator's essence blood to form such an anomaly."
"Eventually, it was left to rot in the depths of the void, until this vicious blade entered the fish's belly."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
This crimson broken blade, though just a fragment of a low-tier treasure, was quite impressive. However, for Lu Xuan, who had a large number of seventh-tier treasures, it was nothing out of the ordinary. He placed the blade in his treasure pouch, starting to clean and sort the items.
The second beam of treasure light revealed a complete medicinal pill, deep green and fragrant, exuding a strong healing effect.
Lu Xuan muttered to himself. Although the medicinal pills were of the master level, the variety of pills he could refine was not extensive, and his knowledge of medicinal pill scriptures was also not broad, so he couldn’t identify the origin of this deep green medicinal pill.
The third beam of treasure light appeared before him, and Lu Xuan's spiritual sense revealed a strange spiritual ore.
The spiritual ore was intangible, like a stream of water. If not for his strong spiritual sense, it would have been difficult to detect the ore’s existence.
"This is a sixth-tier spiritual ore?"
Lu Xuan felt the spiritual power emanating from the ore and silently marveled.
The four chi tiger fish had produced four quite decent treasures, making Lu Xuan's eyes narrow with suspicion. It was hard to believe that countless fishing cultivators would call these treasure fish.
He placed the spiritual ore in a jade box and stored it in his treasure pouch.
"Next, I'll have to properly process this large batch of spiritual fish meat."
This time, the spiritual tide eruption had him fishing up four fifth-tier chi tiger fish, and over a dozen other spiritual fish. It was a bountiful harvest. After processing the heavily polluted sections of the True River, only less than ten thousand pounds of edible spiritual fish meat remained.
Lu Xuan was already content. He lightly sliced a piece of spiritual fish meat with his Phantom Shadow Sword Grass,.
"Come, have some raw fish slices."
He tossed the spiritual fish meat into the air, and instantly, the spiritual wind howled, covering the fish meat.
A wind-listening beast with eight long ears revealed its form, smacking its lips, as if savoring the tenderness of the spiritual fish meat.
"Cut it into smaller pieces."
For a moment, Lu Xuan's playful heart surged,, and he sliced the spiritual fish meat into hundreds of pieces,,. The wind-listening beast's eyes glowed, and it turned its body, sending hundreds of spiritual winds swirling toward the pieces of spiritual fish meat.
