Chapter 452: The Disparities Among Cultivators

After learning about the detailed information of the Heart Ape Fruit, Lu Xuan excavated the spirit seed from the spiritual soil.

He did not plan to plant the spirit plant within the blessed land. Although the spiritual qi in the blessed land was rich and pure, the spiritual soil was only of average quality, far inferior to the spiritual soil enriched with Earth Essence in his cave dwelling.

Moreover, without an ideal growth environment, transplanting the plants after a few years would also affect their development.

Having spent some time in the Myriad Beasts Grotto's blessed land, Lu Xuan planned to leave for a few days to check and cultivate his spirit plants.

In the Inner Sect Cave Dwelling, the small courtyard in Jianmen Town, and the incomplete secret realms, there were many spirit plants that needed his care and cultivation.

Concerning countless luminous orbs, Lu Xuan could not afford to be careless.

Fortunately, leaving the blessed land was relatively convenient, requiring only some consumption of spirit stones.

He sought out Sun Yun.

"Brother Sun, I need to leave the blessed land for a bit. I will be back in three to five days. During this period, please pay extra attention to the affairs within the blessed land."

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Lu. I will take good care of all the spirit beasts within the blessed land," Sun Yun replied, agreeing without asking for details.

Uncle Cangwu would occasionally leave the blessed land too, and a certain operational routine had already been established within. The absence of the main custodian for a few days would not cause much impact.

"Then I'll trouble Brother Sun with this."

After a pause, Lu Xuan continued, "If, by any chance, a problem arises that the fellow brothers can't solve, Brother, you can seek out the guardian spirit beasts, White Jade Heavenly Ape and the Dragon Turtle, in my name. I believe they will lend a helping hand."

Lu Xuan said confidently.

The little monkey had been nourished by his spirit fruits and spirit juices for over a decade, so it wasn't an overstatement to say he had raised it. This was also why the old ape had taken a liking to Lu Xuan at first sight.

Moreover, having helped the old ape cultivate the fifth-grade Heart Ape Fruit, if a problem arose in the blessed land that Sun Yun couldn't solve, it was entirely possible to ask for its intervention.

As for the Dragon Turtle, there was even less need to say.

In the four great bonds of life, the two of them had indirectly completed one.

Giving the old Dragon Turtle a copy of the Blissful Heart Sutra solved its loneliness that spanned thousands of years. Naturally, it wouldn't refuse Lu Xuan's request for help.

"White Jade Heavenly Ape and the Dragon Turtle? Two sixth-grade guardian spirit beasts?"

Sun Yun's handsome face showed a look of surprise.

Seeing Lu Xuan nod in confirmation, a strong shock surged in his heart.

Unexpectedly, in just a short time, Lu Xuan had formed such deep relationships with the two sixth-grade guardian spirit beasts of the blessed land, being able to invite their assistance in his name.

Whereas he, even after spending decades in the blessed land, only managed to get familiar with the two great spirit beasts, barely receiving a response when greeting them was already considered good.

In that moment, he felt the disparities among cultivators.

...

Formation Hall.

In the spacious hall, a huge formation glowed, with countless complex and mystical spiritual runes constantly changing, dazzling to the eyes.

Suddenly, the formation lit up, and a handsome young man with bright, clear eyes appeared at the center of the formation.

The young man was Lu Xuan. He stood still for a few breaths, adjusting his slightly disordered consciousness due to the long-distance teleportation.

Once fully alert, he greeted the disciple guarding the formation and rode a sword light towards his cave dwelling.

Half a moment later, he arrived at the foot of his cave dwelling mountain.

As Lu Xuan was about to activate the Flowing Light Formation, he noticed a fiery red talisman floating in the air beside him.

The talisman was surrounded by faint flames, and its patterns seemed related to communication.

Lu Xuan reached out to take the talisman, infusing a trace of spiritual power. His spiritual sense entered the talisman.

A familiar voice echoed in his ear.

"Junior Brother Lu, it's Huo Lin'er. It's been a long time, and I miss you. Not knowing when you'll leave the blessed land, I left a communication talisman at the entrance to your cave dwelling."

"The reason for leaving a communication talisman is that the Inner Sect will soon host a grand exchange meeting, attended by several true disciples and numerous Inner Sect disciples. It's very likely that the spirit seeds and spirit beast embryos you need will appear, so I specially invite you to attend

."

"After activating the talisman, if you're interested, just let me know before the meeting."

Following the voice, more information about the exchange meeting, including its time and location, was transmitted.

"This Brother Huo Lin'er is quite thoughtful."

Looking at the talisman in his hand, which was gradually turning to ash, Lu Xuan thought to himself.

When he was still in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, he attended a small exchange meeting hosted by Huo Lin'er and obtained a fourth-grade Illusion Sound Bamboo and a fifth-grade netherworld spirit plant, the Blood Woe Flower, reaping great benefits.

Huo Lin'er had some impression of Lu Xuan back then. After the new blessed land venture, he recognized Lu Xuan's terrifying talent in the field of spirit plants and intentionally befriended him, leaving a communication talisman for fear that he would miss this large-scale exchange meeting.

"Looking at the time, it's in three days. There's still time."

Lu Xuan was quite interested in this exchange meeting.

Such occasions occasionally presented rare and exotic spirit seeds, especially netherworld spirit seeds, which were seldom known to orthodox cultivators. Due to their sinister nature, those who accidentally obtained them often wanted to dispose of them as soon as possible, often allowing Lu Xuan, who wasn't picky, to find great deals.

Many of the spirit plants in the netherworld courtyard came from such sources.

He had quite a few items that could be used for exchange, including sinister artifacts and spiritual medicines that he couldn't put to use, other fourth-grade sword talismans, mature Illusion Sound Bamboo, Earth Fire Heart Lotus seeds, and other items, which could be traded for spirit seeds and treasures.

With this in mind, Lu Xuan sent a communication talisman to Huo Lin'er to express his interest in attending, expressing his gratitude.

"My little ones, I'm back."

Lu Xuan entered his cave dwelling and called out.

The chubby bird was the first to greet him, its soft belly landing on Lu Xuan's head before bouncing high up.

"Without my restraint, you've been living quite the carefree life with that Azure-Haired Wind Falcon, haven't you?" Lu Xuan asked with a sinister smile.

"It was just for fun."

The chubby bird swung its pale blue feathers with grandeur, its increasingly round belly undulating, and conveyed a thought to Lu Xuan.

After the path was opened by the spirit fruit, it had a thorough understanding of the Azure-Haired Wind Falcon, devoid of the initial rose-colored filter.

"That's good then."

Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, gently soothing the summoned Cloud-Treading Lynxes, Heart-Eating Venom Beetles, Fire Flood Dragons, and other little ones before heading straight to the spirit fields.

In the spirit fields, nourished by the pure and rich spiritual qi of the Inner Sect, the growth of many spirit plants was quite smooth.

While inspecting the state of the spirit plants, Lu Xuan found the overall situation satisfactory, though many, especially the Sword Grass, needed special cultivation.

He deployed various sword techniques and formations in turn until the spiritual qi in his dantian was nearly depleted, fully satisfying the Sword Grass that had been thirsty for a considerable time.

After thoroughly cultivating the other spirit plants in the spirit fields, Lu Xuan, with his dantian empty and his mind weary yet content, returned indoors.
