Lu Xuan was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the bearded monk's expression, and suddenly became alert.
As the saying goes, no matter what happens, go to the Three Treasures Hall. This fellow disciple may have really heard of Lu Xuan's needs and sincerely invited him here, but it is also possible that the three people in the blessed land set up a plan.
After all, they knew full well that they had the Phoenix Tree on their bodies, so they understood their urgent need for the third-grade strange fire, and made a plan to lure them in, so as to regain the ancient Phoenix Tree.
Thinking of this, he became more determined in his inner thoughts, and despite the eloquent words of the bearded monk, he kept shaking his head in refusal.
"Since Junior Brother Lu insists not to go, I won't force him."
At the end, seeing that Lu Xuan was unable to make any progress, the bearded monk said helplessly.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. It's just that, junior brother, I have spent too much time on spiritual cultivation. I have wasted my practice and am weak-minded, so as not to hold senior brother back."
Lu Xuan changed the subject.
"However, if Senior Brother Fan obtains the third-grade exotic fire from the secret realm, he can transfer it to me. I will pay a slightly higher price than usual."
"As for going out in person and exploring the secret realm to obtain it?"
"The mission content is to collect third-grade and above strange fires. The reward is at least one hundred sword seals, depending on the grade and quantity of the flames."
"General Affairs Hall."
He was surprised at how young and immature Lu Xuan's face was.
"Third-grade exotic fires and above... With all due respect, Master Nephew, the requirements for Master Uncle's mission are a bit high, and it may be difficult for an outer disciple to complete it."
Lu Xuan's figure has always been remembered by the entire Linghe clan. Even if it has been a long time, he is still qualified to ride the Linghe for free.
Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"First of all, third-grade strange fire is not as common as third-grade monsters. The breeding conditions for this kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure are complicated and extremely difficult to find."
In the vast hall of the General Affairs Hall, many outer disciples gather here at any time to issue and receive various types of tasks.
"Hey, I'm finally mature."
The light group turned into countless tiny points of light and poured into Lu Xuan's body instantly.
He quickly adjusted and asked Lu Xuan with a warm smile on his face.
Lu Xuan nodded, hesitated, and said.
"It's better to hold on to this task first. Maybe you'll meet a fellow student who can complete it."
Seeing this familiar scene, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, recalling his previous experience of sweeping various spiritual plants and spiritual beasts across the light screen.
"Secondly, those who receive the mission are mainly outer disciples, and the possibility of them obtaining the third-grade strange fire during the Qi training stage is extremely slim.
Lu Xuan concentrated his mind and quickly learned the detailed information about the spirit fruit.
He said with a smile, not forgetting to make an advertisement before leaving.
"High quality, not bad. The growth environment of inner sect spiritual plants is much better than that of outer sects. It is easy to get high-quality spiritual fruits and plants by planting second-grade spiritual plants."
"Hello, uncle."
It was also through this that he obtained a large number of spiritual seeds, cultivation resources, met many powerful monks, and laid the foundation for breaking through to the realm of foundation building.
Lu Xuan only mentioned it casually, and did not put all his hopes of obtaining the third-grade strange fire on the inexplicable invitation from Brother Fan.
"I will never explore the secret realm in this life, and I won't know how to fight with others. I can only plant various spiritual plants to maintain the appearance of cultivation."
A thin layer of flame emerged from his palm, his body floated up, and he carefully picked off the flame fruit.
Among the light red leaves, there are more than ten flame fruits looming, half hidden.
Lu Xuan touched the white feathers on Linghe's head, took out a red spirit fruit, and stuffed it into Linghe's mouth.
The flame fruit is soft to the touch, and with a gentle squeeze, the shape of the pulp changes immediately. When held in the hand, it looks like a flowing flame.
High in the sky, strong winds roared, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged on the back of the spiritual crane, thinking about how to obtain the third-grade strange fire.
"It is indeed a bit slim to issue tasks. Maybe we can get the strange fire by exchanging treasures."
Anyway, it only cost three spirit stones to hang on the light screen for a period of time. Lu Xuan finally chose to issue this task.
"It's a pity that now that I have become an inner disciple, I can't compete with those outer disciples for tasks, otherwise I have to remind them of the fear of being dominated by spiritual plants and beasts."
He digested the information that appeared in his mind and reached out to gently touch the white light group that appeared at the location of the Flame Fruit.
As for the inner disciples, they usually don’t have to worry about spiritual stones and sword seals, so there are very few inner disciples who come to the General Affairs Hall to accept tasks.”
When Linghe saw Lu Xuan from a distance, he immediately let out a cry of joy, speeded up a bit in an instant, and landed in front of Lu Xuan in two or three breaths.
He came out of the inner hall and glanced at the light curtain of the main hall.
As usual, he patrolled the spiritual field and inspected the growth status of each spiritual plant.
[The flame fruit is a second-grade spiritual fruit. It contains rich fire spiritual power and has an excellent taste. After eating, it can increase the spiritual power in the monk's body. It can also be used as a material for refining certain spiritual wines. 】
There is still no change in the types of tasks on the light screen. They are mainly about exploring secret realms, tracking and killing evil spirits, and occasionally include content about refining weapons, alchemy, etc., but there are very few about spiritual plants and spiritual beasts.
Lu Xuan entered the inner hall of the General Affairs Hall and said to a middle-aged steward.
The bearded monk was speechless for a moment, so he said goodbye and left without staying any longer.
Occasionally one would show up, and only a few outer disciples would be interested.
With emotion, he left the General Affairs Hall silently.
Looking from below, it looks like clusters of burning flames, emitting an amazing fire spirit breath.
After making his decision, Lu Xuan returned to the cave and paid attention to the recent treasure exchange meeting among the inner disciples.
Lu Xuan looked at them one by one and found that the progress bar under one of the Flame Fruits was completely full.
The middle-aged steward explained to Lu Xuan in detail.
[Harvest the second-grade flame fruit and obtain the third-grade strange fire red lotus flame.]
"Oh? What do you mean?"
With careful cultivation, all spiritual plants grow very well.
He activated the formation, came to the foot of the mountain, and used his spiritual power to stimulate a small magic weapon sent by the Beast Taming Hall. Soon, a tall spiritual crane flew from a distance.
Immediately, he jumped on the back of the crane.
Arriving outside the tributary of Earth Fire, he walked to the second-grade blazing fruit tree.
"I wonder what task Uncle Master wants to assign?"
The steward, who was practicing at the ninth level of qi cultivation, raised his head and glanced at Lu Xuan. When he saw the special robe made by an inner sect disciple on his body, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and said respectfully.
"...Okay, I will definitely pay more attention to you, Junior Brother Lu."
"This fellow Taoist, I would like to assign a task."
"You just fell asleep and you brought me a pillow?"
Lu Xuan's heart was full of surprise, and he carefully looked at the strange flame that appeared in his hand.
The flame has distinct layers, like a quietly burning lotus. The outermost lotus petal flame is bright yellow, and gradually turns into fiery red as it deepens. It occupies most of the lotus flame area, and wraps up the central wisp layer by layer.
