“A Fifth-grade Magical Artifact!”
Lu Xuan exclaimed.
This was the highest-ranking treasure he had obtained from the light cluster. “Looking at the information, the Gluttonous Insect Pouch is a space-type Magical Artifact, considered an advanced version of the Third-grade Vitality
The Vitality bag is just third-grade, for fourth and even fifth-grade Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, although it could still slow down their life ravaging, but the effect was no longer particularly good.
Now that he has this Fifth-grade Gluttonous Insect Pouch, it is a perfect replacement.
‘It can also be refined into a Magic Treasure, after successful refinement, perhaps acquire related Divine Skills of the Gluttonous Insect.”
Lu Xuan had browsed numerous books in the Scripture Treasury Pavilion and had a certain understanding of Gluttonous Insects.
The Gluttonous Insect was an Ancient Exotic Beast, harboring a gluttonous bloodline, with the ability to devour all things in the world.
“Unfortunately, refining a Magic Treasure requires a Core Formation cultivation level, so for now it can only be used as a large storage bag.” Lu Xuan said with some regret.
The Fourth-grade Xuan Chong Vine could increase the success rate of Demon Insects advancing to the fifth grade, he decided to keep it for future use.
After harvesting the Xuan Chong Vine, Lu Xuan remained in the courtyard, living day by day with the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.
In a blink of an eye, a month had passed. The Void Nether Island was calm, neither sea beasts attacked nor did a demon envoy infiltrate. After the Blood Coagulating Parasite incident, the anticipated scene of a powerful Evil Cultivator did not occur.
Such a peaceful and tranquil life instead made him feel like a fish in water, finding it comfortable and satisfying.
One day, two familiar faces, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bing Yu, came to visit Lu Xuan in his courtyard.
Friend Lu, I really don’t know what you’re doing all day with these Spirit Plants, can it be more wonderful and enjoyable than fishing for Dragon Carps?” The moment the Dragon Carp bites, not even the thrill of killing powerful enemies or gaining opportunities can compare.”
As soon as Shi Zhong entered the courtyard, he started complaining to Lu Xuan.
He had asked Lu Xuan to go fishing in the sea with him two or three times lately, but Lu Xuan always politely refused, causing some resentment in Shi Zhong’s heart.
Lu Xuan thought to himself with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Everyone has their own interests; Daoist Shi likes fishing, and I prefer to plant some flowers and grass, and raise birds and fish.”
^Not to mention, the joy of farming is something that is unimaginable to you
He added silently in his heart.
The two men entered Lu Xuan’s courtyard and saw all kinds of rare Spirit Plants, all looking vigorous and lush.
Those higher-ranking Spirit Plants and the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree were concealed by Lu Xuan using a formation, making it hard for casual visitors to see. The two had no intention of forcefully prying.
“But Friend Lu, these Spirit Plants are indeed very well cultivated. Without decades of experience as a Spirit Plant Master, it would be hard to grow Spirit Plants of this quality.”
Zhou Bing Yu looked around and remarked.
Although she was engrossed in cultivation, she still had an eye for quality and noted that every Spirit Plant in Lu Xuan’s Spirit Field was vibrant, and their ranks were mostly second grade and above. This showed that Lu Xuan indeed had an extraordinary achievement on the Spiritual Plant Path.
Come, it’s the first time the two of you have visited my courtyard. Try some of the Spirit Brew and Spirit Fruits that I brought from the Sect.”
Lu Xuan took out the Drunk Immortal Gourd, poured out the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice that had been brewing for several days, and also took out the Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit from his storage bag.
“This Spirit Brew is brewed from dozens of different spirit fruits, creating a variety of flavours. After brewing in my beloved gourd, it’s even more mellow and fragrant, with an unforgettable aftertaste.”
“The Spirit Fruits are second-grade Flaming Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit. Both are second-grade and good quality. If eaten continuously, they will give you a wonderful sensation of Ice and Fire Two Heavens.”
With Lu Xuan’s introduction, the two began to enjoy the Spirit Fruit Spirit Juice. “Great Spirit Fruit! Even better Spirit Juice!”
After Shi Zhong tasted some of it, he couldn’t help but praise aloud, while Zhou Bing Yu next to him kept nodding in agreement.
“I’m glad you two like it,” said Lu Xuan with a smile.
The two looked at each other, and Shi Zhong put down the jade cup in his hand. Friend Lu, you were the first to notice something unusual about the sea fish contaminated by the Blood Coagulating Parasites, and after the minor outbreak of the demon insects on the islands, you conveyed crucial information to us that allowed us to guard the islands, preventing significant losses.”
“We came here mainly to express our gratitude to you.”
‘You like Spirit Plants, so we looked for some and found three Grade Three
Spirit Plant seedlings.”
Shi Zhong pulled out a transparent jade bottle from his storage bag. Inside the bottle was seawater filled with dense spiritual energy. At the bottom of the bottle were three light purple corals.
“This is Purple Jade Coral, a grade three Spirit Plant. It grows on the seabed and is extremely hard. It can be used to forge magical artifacts, and the coral powder can also be used as an alchemy material.”
Please accept this as a token of our appreciation,” Shi Zhong said seriously.
“Well, then I humbly accept your gift,” Lu Xuan replied with a smile and a bow.
“There’s another matter concerning you, Friend Lu. You tasked us with finding information on the third-grade Spiritual Liquid. We’ve made progress.” “We found three possible locations for third-grade Spiritual Liquid. Two still need verification, but one place definitely has third-grade Spirit Gathering True Liquid.”
“Oh? Where exactly? Can I know?” Lu Xuan asked, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.
“It’s on an unnamed small island deep in the Boundless Sea, two to three thousand miles away from this archipelago. There are several types of third- grade sea beasts residing on the island.
If you are free, you can join us in hunting the beasts and collecting treasures.
With the three of us being from Great Sects and at the Foundation Establishment Realm, it’ll be like shooting fish in a barrel,” Shi Zhong confidently said.
“That…” LuXuanhesitated.
“To be frank with both of you, during the Blood Coagulating Parasite incident, a King Worm appeared, comparable to a Foundation Establishment First-term stage cultivator. Therefore, I suspect that there is a powerful evil cultivator lurking on this archipelago, so I’ve decided not to go out too often recently.” ^So, I’ll have to wait until the next opportunity to get the Spirit Gathering True
Friend Lu, you are too cautious. How can you improve your cultivation level with such an attitude? How can you compete with other cultivators for opportunities?” Shi Zhong asked, somewhat helplessly.
“Even if we encounter evil cultivators or Demon Envoys with our cultivation levels, they are most likely to be unlucky.”
“I’m just an ordinary Spirit Plant Master, who has luckily broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“Whether it’s Formula Methods or Talisman Tools, they are all pretty average so I can only play it safe,” Lu Xuan said with self-deprecating humor.
“Shi Daoist, everyone has their ambitions. We can’t force him,” the fierce female cultivator Zhou Bing Yu said indifferently from the side.
Although they didn’t understand Lu Xuan’s thoughts and actions, they didn’t push him to join their exploration for treasures.
“Friends Shi and Zhou, considering your profound cultivation levels and abundant treasures, hunting sea beasts will be even easier with me out of the picture.”
“How about this instead? You two can explore the island and hunt demon beasts. If you get the Spirit Gathering True Liquid, we can exchange this item for it. What do you think?”
A weathered gourd quietly appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
