When Kong Yun heard Shen Ye calling Lu Xuan, who was the guest minister of the Hailou Merchant Association, his junior brother, Kong Yun couldn't turn around.
In his impression, although Shen Ye had good swordsmanship skills, he was just an ordinary cultivator from an ordinary background. He didn't expect that he could hide such a deep background.
Shen Ye seemed to see the doubts in the young man's heart and took the initiative to explain:
"Fellow Daoist Kong, don't think too much. Junior Brother Lu and I have only practiced together in a sect in the Eastern Wasteland. Junior Brother, remembering our old friendship, specifically asked me not to change my title."
"I see."
Kong Yun suddenly understood.
Lu Xuan, who was smiling at the side, cupped his hands and saluted.
"I'm Lu Xuan, I've met fellow Daoist Kong."
"Senior Brother Shen and I have a close friendship and we are like brothers. I will have to ask fellow Daoist Kong to take care of him in the future."
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Lu. Fellow Daoist Shen is a proficient swordsman. It is Brother Daoist who should take care of me."
The young man said quickly, with a bit of respect in his words.
He was just a casual cultivator in the early stages of forming pills in the Xijian Star Cave. Compared with Lu Xuan, who was backed by the behemoth Hailou Chamber of Commerce, his status was much different.
Shen Ye led Kong Yun to sit down and continued to greet other guests.
Not long after he entered the Xijian Star Cave, he only met four or five alchemy monks, all of whom were at the early stage of alchemy formation.
After learning about Lu Xuan's identity, every alchemy monk had an extremely kind and enthusiastic attitude.
Lu Xuan looked calm, revealing intentionally or unintentionally that he had a deep friendship with Shen Ye, which could be regarded as adding some protection to his future practice life in the Xijian Star Cave.
Among them, seven or eight foundation-building monks came from other areas of Liyang Realm to celebrate Shen Ye.
Sitting among Lu Xuan and other Jiedan monks, it was like sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable, for fear of offending Master Jiedan in the slightest.
After the congratulatory banquet, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. He and Shen Ye sent the visiting monks away and returned to the cave.
"Come, Senior Brother Shen, Junior Brother, there is some fine wine here, let us two have a nice drink."
He smiled and took out a bottle of fifth-grade Huanzhen Sword Liquid from his storage bag.
There was a shimmering light on the surface of the silver-gray spirit liquid. After looking carefully, I realized that it was a wisp of extremely subtle sword light.
"What is this? It actually caused the sword energy in my body to move."
Shen Ye looked at the silver-gray spirit liquid in front of him, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
"This thing is called Huanzhen Sword Liquid. According to legend, it has some connection with Shangzong Dongxuan Sword Sect. Junior Brother got it by chance."
"It is said that after being persuaded to drink this spiritual liquid, sword cultivators can enter a state of returning to their original nature, and they can understand the swordsmanship and supernatural powers with a pure and childish heart."
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
"Oh? If there is such a treasure, then senior brother, I have to taste it carefully."
Shen Ye said gently with a smile on his face.
“It’s really unique and unique.”
He took a sip, closed his eyes and felt it. When he opened his eyes, a sharp sword flashed through his eyes.
The two continued to chat about their time in Tianjian Sect and their respective experiences after leaving.
"To be honest, senior brother, I'm a little envious of you, junior brother Lu."
When the wine was full, Shen Ye sighed with a hint of drunkenness.
"According to what my junior brother just said, after entering Tianxing Cave, I lived an extremely simple and boring life, focusing entirely on cultivating spiritual plants."
"But junior brother, do you know how many monks can't get such a peaceful life like yours?"
"Who would be willing to risk their lives to explore secret places and seek opportunities when they can live like that?"
"The problem is that most monks don't have the same skills as you, junior brother."
"No, even if there were, it would be difficult to reach the level that you, junior brother, are in the Ling Zhi Path."
He then shook his head.
"Senior brother, I really admire you for being able to achieve what you have achieved today by relying on your spiritual cultivation."
Shen Ye lowered his head and said.
He saw clearly everyone's attitude toward Lu Xuan at today's banquet, and he also understood the lofty status of the guest minister of the Hailou Merchant Association.
The moment the banquet ended, my heart suddenly became extremely calm, and I completely gave up the idea of chasing after the younger junior brother.
"I am able to achieve what I have today, all because of my talent in spiritual cultivation, junior brother."
Lu Xuan said slowly.
"Junior brother, please don't be modest. Anyway, I'm sure of your thighs, senior brother!"
Shen Ye smiled heartily.
"Haha, senior brother is joking."
"In the future, if I need you for anything, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lu Xuan bowed his hands to Shen Ye and solemnly promised.
"By the way, Senior Brother Shen, I have a small shop in the Star Reaching Tower. I have accumulated some wealth through the use of spiritual plants over the years. I plan to hold a private auction in the shop in a while, and there will be some high-level spiritual plants. Plant elixirs, and other treasures.”
"We welcome senior brother to come and have a look. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce to senior brother some Taoist friends who are powerful and have quite good character."
Finally, he extended an invitation to Shen Ye.
"Okay, I'll be sure to come on time to participate."
Shen Ye nodded heavily.
Lu Xuan didn't stay long and said goodbye to Shen Ye. After seeing him off for a long distance, he quickly rushed to the Thunder Star Cave.
Returning to the cave, he returned to his previous life as a spiritual planter, dealing with many spiritual plants as always.
Shen Ye's heartfelt words made him cherish this peaceful and simple farming life even more.
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.
Lu Xuan flew out from the depths of the Earth Fire Branch, holding two red gold lotus flowers in his hands.
Two of the four Pure Yang Golden Lotuses remaining in the magma were fully mature, from which he obtained two wisps of sixth-grade Taiyi Pure Yang True Fire, as well as numerous Pure Yang Golden Lotus seeds.
The other two are used to condense spiritual seeds so that you can obtain red gold lotus seeds and light group rewards in a long-lasting and stable manner.
There are Pure Yang True Fire, Yuanyang True Fire and the newly obtained sixth-grade strange fire, plus Lu Xuan’s special ability in spiritual plants, the difficulty of condensing the seeds is not very high, and you should be able to get several of them over time. The Pure Yang Golden Lotus Spirit Seed.
He went around the spiritual field again.
The new batch of ice fireweed has entered the rapid growth stage and is growing very well.
The Xiaodong Xuanjian Gourd and Thousand Thunder Sword Grass have been successfully coagulated, and the spiritual seeds have been successfully planted into the spiritual soil after being processed through various means.
Other spiritual plants are also in their best condition and growing freely.
"It's time to start preparing the treasures for the auction."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He held such a private auction for only two purposes.
The first is to clean up some fifth-grade treasures that are of little use to you.
As the level of the treasures released by the light group became higher and higher, and the number increased, he rarely went out to explore the secret realm, so many of the treasures on his body had become useless, so he took this opportunity to clear out a batch.
Of course, it was useless compared to Lu Xuan, who had several seventh-grade treasures. For other ordinary Dan-Jie masters, every treasure he took out was extremely good.
The second purpose is to advertise the grocery store by the way and strengthen the reputation of the grocery store as a boutique route.
"Having too many treasures is also a kind of trouble, and they must be given up."
