Chapter 472: Chapter 470: Death of Cultivation Level, Gift of Sword Talisman_1
Time flies by when managing the Blessed Land.
Lu Xuan doesn’t need to personally take care of the numerous affairs in the Blessed Land. He now finally has time to cultivate and ponder over several cultivation techniques obtained from the light cluster.
During leisure time, he visits the White Ape and the Dragon Turtle.
The experiments on ferocious beasts within the forbidden lands under his efficient management, no longer requires daily attention.
Every few days, he would enter to collect leftovers of demon beast’s flesh and blood, failed fusion of demon beast essence blood, and the Yin Soul resentment aimlessly floating in the dark red passage.
Occasionally, he returns to the Sect Cave Mansion to care for the many spirit plants, visits the Underworld Court and the Incomplete Secret Realm to meet the needs of the Spirit Plants.
In the meantime, an explosion of Emperor’s Flow occurred again in the Blessed Land, and Lu Xuan collected quite a bit. He even thoroughly looted the Old Dragon Turtle.
And so, three months passed quickly.
That day, he returned to the sect.
Sitting on the Spirit Crane, Lu Xuan keenly felt that the atmosphere within the Inner Sect was somewhat different from usual.
Occasionally, he would see fellow cultivators. Before Lu Xuan could greet them, they would rush away as if they were being chased from behind.
Lu Xuan, puzzled, returned to the cave mansion, focused on cultivating spiritual plants and raising spirit beasts, looking every bit the diligent Spirit Plant Master.
The next day, he arrived at Fire Scale Child’s cave mansion.
“Junior Brother Lu, weren’t you supposed to oversee the Blessed Land? How do you have time to visit me here?”
Upon seeing Lu Xuan, surprise appeared on the young face of Fire Scale Child.
“I left some fellow sect members to look after the Blessed Land, everything is fine. I am here to check on the Spirit Plants in the cave mansion.”
“By the way, Elder Brother Huo, I noticed many fellow sect members hurrying about, has something big happened?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“There is indeed a major event in the cultivation world. An extensive Secret Land has appeared in the Black Demon Abyss. It’s filled with Demon Envoys, but also hidden with many opportunities.”
“It is said that a cultivator obtained more than one Level Five cultivation technique and magic artifacts from there. Once this news got out, it attracted countless cultivators to that secret land, hoping to seize a share of the opportunity.”
Lu Xuan listened thoughtfully and nodded.
“Junior Brother Lu, aren’t you tempted by a Fifth Rank treasure?”
Fire Scale Child asked with a smile.
“Elder Brother, you’re joking! How could a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator like me not be moved by a Core Formation level treasure?”
Lu Xuan chuckled softly.
He wasn’t wrong. Although he already possesses quite a number of Fifth Rank treasures, anyone would want more of this level of items.
“I was planning to explore it. Junior Brother Lu, if you are interested, how about going with me?”
“Safety is guaranteed with a Senior Brother of Authentic Teachings leading the way.”
“However, I must show a bit of self-awareness. Though my cultivation level might be decent, I do not have any powerful protection magic artifacts or formula methods. Being by your side, I would only be a burden on you, Brother Huo, so it’s better to honestly stay in the sect.”
“All right, I respect your choice. However, in the path of cultivation, one can never avoid competition.Only by striving hard, can one get a bigger opportunity and a chance to make further progress.”
“Even if you don’t want to compete with other cultivators, they will actively come to compete with you. These are all unavoidable.”
There was a mature look on the young face of Fire Scale Child, quite incompatible with his age.
“Elder brother is right, but I’ve already made up my mind.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“You guys can fight over what you want, I have a race of my own, and no one is competing with me.”
He mused to himself.
“If you insist on choosing the path of a Spirit Plant Master, I won’t try to persuade you.”
Fire Scale Child just casually mentioned, with his high cultivation base, exceptional talent, a body full of treasures as an Authentic Teachings disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, naturally he didn’t care about Lu Xuan’s plans.
He invited Lu Xuan purely because of his natural talent in spirit plants.
“I wish for Brother to obtain a great opportunity and desired treasures!”
Lu Xuan blessed with a smile.
He bid farewell to Fire Scale Child and returned to the cave mansion.
After a brief rest, he planned to go check on the spirit plants in the spirit field. However, Baili Jianqing visited him.
“Brother Lu, Brother Lu, have you heard about the newly appeared large secret realm in the Black Demon Abyss?”
He rushed in excitedly, eager to tell Lu Xuan.
“Yes, I heard quite a few people have died in there, including cultivators from Great Sects.”
Lu Xuan replied.
His words poured cold water on Baili Jianqing, calming him down somewhat.
“We shouldn’t just look at that, there are more cultivators who obtained opportunities. Most of those who enter come out alive.”
“So you’re planning on going in and having a look?”
Lu Xuan asked with a stern face.
“Yes, such a rare opportunity to obtain great opportunities, if I don’t fight for it, I will definitely regret it later.”
Baili Jianqing replied solemnly.
“Even if there’s risk of life or death, you still willing?”
Baili Jianqing nodded earnestly.
“As a disciple of a Great Sect, with fellow sect members accompanying, I have confidence of full withdrawal.”
“Brother Lu, are you not planning to go into the secret realm?”
“I don’t have the intention.” Lu Xuan replied indifferently.
“What a pity, Brother Lu. You have a mid-term foundation establishment cultivation base, which is stronger than me and several of the fellow sect members I know. I was hoping to rely on you during this opportunity.”
Baili Jianqing laughed hehe, his elongated eyes squinting into a line.
“My current strength is accumulated through elixirs, only to raise my cultivation level to cultivate more spirit plants.
Other formula methods, magic artifacts, charms are all ordinary, far inferior to those cultivators who have experienced countless life and death fights.”
Lu Xuan casually explained.
“Then I’ll leave in a few days to explore it with several agreed sect members.”
Baili Jianqing said with a smile.
“Wait, I have a fourth-grade sword talisman here. It’s my protective treasure and I’ve always been reluctant to use it. I’ll lend it to you this time.”
He called out to stop Baili Jianqing, made up a random reason, and gave him a Roaring Sea Sword Charm.
“You just need to directly activate it and its power is closely related to the produced sword Qi.”
“You can only use it in a critical situation, remember to return it back to me.”
He had made acquaintance with Baili Jianqing before entering the sect. Getting along happily, he was one of the few good friends Lu Xuan had in the Sky Sword Sect, and also the one with the lowest cultivation base. Worried about his safety, he lent him a Fourth Grade Roaring Sea Sword Charm.
This was the most valuable item he could give. If it were more, or of a higher rank, it would attract unnecessary suspicion, and he could not guarantee that Baili Jianqing would not covet the treasure.
“Thank you, Brother Lu! I will definitely cherish this chance to use the sword talisman! If I use it in an emergency, I will definitely repay you at the original price.”
Baili Jianqing took the sword talisman, feeling the surging swords Qi in it like the waves of the sea, and took a deep breath he stated solemnly.
As a fourth-grade sword talisman, it was an invaluable treasure for him who was still in the mid-term foundation establishment phase. Under certain circumstances, it is like having an extra chance to save his life.
“Go ahead, return safely.”
Lu Xuan waved his hand at him and walked straight into the spirit field.
