At the moment when the evil spirits invaded, the entire Tianxing Cave was filled with a sense of anxiety and uneasiness.
Many of the monks Lu Xuan met were either practicing hard in seclusion to improve their cultivation, or they were exploring secret realms and seeking chance treasures, in order to have more power to protect themselves before troubled times came.
Lu Xuan, who has been staying in the cave and living a leisurely farming life, seems to be a bit independent.
"There's nothing you can do about it. As long as the light group is around, you can do whatever you want."
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
The invited monks didn't even have time to come, but Wen Qian, who had been staying in the Zhaixinglou shop, suddenly came to see him.
"Senior, I have collected several high-level spiritual seeds in the past two days. I would like to ask you to take a look at them."
Wen Qian suppressed his inner excitement and said respectfully to Lu Xuan.
He held three fiery red spiritual seeds in his hand.
There seems to be a red spark inside the spirit seed that flickers slightly, causing the flame patterns on the surface of the spirit seed to move closer to the sparks.
"Oh? How to get it?"
Lu Xuan looked at the spiritual seed in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
"This junior was in the Star Reaching Tower and found out that a real person named Jie Dan was selling these spiritual seeds."
"After careful inquiry, I learned that the other party came from a cultivating family, and they have made a living cultivating spiritual plants for generations. Unfortunately, the family has become increasingly dilapidated, and they have to sell some treasures to maintain their practice, including these three fifth-grade red flame plum spiritual seeds."
"I carefully confirmed the variety and the internal vitality of the spiritual species. After there were no problems, I bought it privately."
Wen Qian explained in detail.
"You did a good job."
Lu Xuan showed admiration on his face.
He did not expect that Wen Qian, who had asked Wen Qian to study and delve into the knowledge of spiritual plants a long time ago, would bear fruit today.
With his increasingly refined spiritual plant attainments, he found these three fifth-grade spiritual seeds for him.
"It is a great honor for me, my juniors, to be able to do my best for my seniors!"
Wen Qian quickly expressed his stance.
"After you go back later, you can go find the Master Jiedan to see if he is still in the Star Reaching Building. In my name, ask if there is a Seed Condensation Technique for sale. The price will not disappoint him."
Before Wen Qian left, Lu Xuan gave him a few special instructions.
"I didn't expect that there would be another way to obtain spiritual seeds."
"Although the current probability of obtaining a high-level spiritual seed is extremely small, what is better than other channels is that Wenqian represents me in a sense, and is more trusted and will not have other ideas."
He thought in his mind and found an empty spiritual field with three fiery red spiritual seeds.
With a thought, the structure of the spiritual soil in the spiritual field changed slightly, and three slender cracks appeared at the same time.
Lu Xuan put a spiritual seed into the crack, and with a thought, strands of spiritual rain fell down and penetrated into the spiritual seed.
My mind was focused on the spiritual seed, and I immediately learned the detailed information about the spiritual seed.
[Red Flame Plum, a fifth-grade spiritual plant. When cultivated, the spiritual plant will absorb various grades of strange fire. When mature, it can produce spiritual fruits rich in fire spirit. The spiritual fruits are extremely delicious and can be used to raise high-level fire elements. After a monk consumes the spirit beast, he can increase the speed of practicing fire skills and supernatural powers. If he swallows the spirit fruit for a long time, his body will gradually improve into the acquired fire spirit body.]
"Finally, there is one more high-level spiritual fruit."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
Currently, in the cave, the main spiritual fruits that can be taken in large quantities are the Mystic Peach and the Ice and Fire Spirit Fruit.
Other spiritual plants, like Chunyang Golden Lotus, produce lotus seeds that can be eaten directly, but mainly for the effectiveness of the lotus seeds, not for the taste of the lotus seeds themselves.
Lu Xuan took a fancy to the message about the delicious taste of the red plum in front of him.
As for the spiritual fruit that needs to absorb various strange fires during its growth, it is not a big problem for him.
When he was in the Tianjian Sect, he practiced the Five Elements Kung Fu, and he could release some low-level fire spells, not to mention having high-level exotic fires such as Pure Yang True Fire and Red Sun True Fire in his hands.
After planting the three red plums, Lu Xuan took a walk around the spiritual field.
A new batch of ice fireflies has begun to take shape. The edges of the blue and slender leaves are curled up with cold air, and a thin layer of frost has condensed on the ground of the spiritual field.
"The biggest support for not having to retreat is these spiritual plants."
Lu Xuan sighed.
After one or two years of seclusion, the cultivation level improved may not be as good as the cultivation level reward from an ice firefly light group.
How could Lu Xuan have the heart to abandon these beloved spiritual plants and focus on cultivation?
"I don't know if the cultivation level of these ice fireflies will be improved to the late stage of pill formation after they mature."
Lu Xuan carefully cultivated all the spiritual plants and returned to the yard.
Half a year has passed.
On this day, he was inspecting all the spiritual plants one by one in the spiritual field.
"The Yuanci Lingmu is about to mature."
Lu Xuan glanced at the translucent progress bar under the Yuanci Lingmu, with some anticipation in his heart.
This weird sixth-grade spiritual plant has been obtained for decades, but because its cultivation conditions have never been met, cultivation has not been started for a long time.
After obtaining enough Yuanciling Ore, the growth rate is extremely amazing, and the harvest season is finally here.
"Friend Daoist Lu, Friend Daoist Lu, I'm finally out of seclusion, hurry up and prepare the best spiritual brew."
A loud voice came from outside the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Namu has finished his retreat?"
The corner of Lu Xuan's mouth raised, and his figure turned into a stream of light and appeared outside the cave.
"Fellow Taoist Mu, we agreed to eat meat, drink wine, and have fun together. Why did you secretly go into seclusion and practice hard?"
He said with a smile while inviting the tall old man into the cave.
Because Mu Taoren was already old when he broke through the realm of pill formation, he basically gave up the hope of practicing. He is somewhat similar to Lu Xuan, and he focused all his attention on collecting all kinds of weird things.
Being teased by Lu Xuan, the old man's expression remained calm and unchanged.
"I have no choice but to be forced by the world."
"I would like to collect all kinds of treasures every day, but my strength does not allow it."
"The evil spirits are getting more and more rampant, and I don't feel comfortable staying in the Star-Zhaing Tower all the time."
"I simply made up my mind to stay in seclusion for a few years and hone the magical powers taught by my family so that I can slightly improve my strength, lest I have no power to fight back when I encounter an evil spirit."
Mu Taoren explained to Lu Xuan.
"It seems that the progress is pretty good. I need to take care of you from fellow Taoists in the future."
Lu Xuan felt the increasingly powerful aura in his body and said in a very polite tone.
"It's easy to say, it's just that your cultivation level has been improved a little. But fellow Daoist Lu, don't worry too much. With your spiritual cultivation attainments, the Chamber of Commerce will try its best not to put you in danger."
Mu Taoist said in a deep voice.
"That's beyond Lu's control."
"What Lu can do is stay in the cave and cultivate spiritual plants. If evil spirits really cross the Tianxing Cave and the Chamber of Commerce and come to visit."
"Then we can only rely on this little strength and scattered treasures to fight the evil spirits to the death."
Lu Xuan's expression showed a bit of helplessness, as if he was thinking about his ending after encountering the evil spirit, and sighed softly.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lu is thinking too far. Come on, let's have a few drinks."
"I don't want to think about anything else. If I have wine today, I will get drunk today!"
"Okay, congratulations to fellow Taoist for ending the retreat and improving your cultivation!"
