Chapter 338: Chapter 336: Reaping the Rewards 1
Spiritual light shimmered on the surface of the spiritual liquid like a myriad of stars. Shi Zhong uncorked the bottle, and immediately a rich, pure, and refreshing spiritual breath diffused, stirring the spiritual energy within the body.
“This Spirit Gathering True Liquid is a third-grade spiritual liquid, it contains an extremely rich and pure spiritual energy, a single drop can quickly replenish and restore a cultivator’s spiritual power,” Shi Zhong explained to Lu Xuan. ”Thanks to both of you, my friends, for helping me procure this rare spiritual liquid,” Lu Xuan said, faintly smiling.
“As previously agreed, these two Sword Nurturing Gourds will serve as rewards for this bottle of Spirit Gathering True Liquid.”
With a flick of his hand, two green marbled gourds flew out from his storage bag. An echoing sword hum sounded from within the gourds, as if they were nurturing powerful Sword Qi.
Friend Lu is generous, in that case, we have no choice but to accept these Sword Nurturing Gourds,” The faces of Shi Zhong and his companion lit up with joy, they did not decline and accepted the Sword Nurturing Gourds. The gourds harbored a formidable Sword Qi comparable to third-rank magic weapons. They were extremely satisfied with exchanging it for a bottle of Spirit Gathering True Liquid.
Lu Xuan, needless to say, found the Spirit Gathering True Liquid could be used to cultivate the Fifth Grade Dragon Bone Grass left at his sect, its value far exceeding its original worth. Moreover, it saved him a considerable amount of time searching for it amidst danger.
Shi Zhong and the other did not linger long, chatted a bit and then bid goodbye to Lu Xuan.
“Uncle Lu, what are your plans now?” Song Yu quickly approached and asked.
“I plan on returning to Void Nether Island. If you wish to explore the secret land, you can stay here. If you’re cautious, you may find some decent items,” explained Lu Xuan.
Song Yu’s face flashed with hesitation but eventually decided to stay outside the secret land.
Uncle, since we’ve come all this way, we want to go in to take a look,” he decided.
Alright then, be careful,” Lu Xuan said before boarding his Purple Lightning Sword and heading to Void Nether Island.
“Finally, back home,” whispered Lu Xuan as he entered his small courtyard.
This time entering the secret land, he made many preparations, broke through to the mid-term of Foundation Establishment, acquired the Void Nightmare Eye and “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman”, two treasures, so he could come unscathed out of the secret land.
Upon entering the yard, a streak of cyan light attacked him, the well-known touch of the round and roly-poly tummy of Wind Falcon above him.
Fat Bird, flapping its pale cyan broad wings, stepping on Lu Xuan’s shoulders, chirped discontent at not being taken out.
To one side, the Cloud Leopard that popped out of the Gluttonous Insect Pouch trotted lightly among the rocks, moving as if on flat ground, its demeanor extremely elegant.
“Your turtle son is quite obedient, isn’t he?” Lu Xuan asked, pinching the soft belly of the Fat Bird, and moved to the edge of the small pond.
After long time no see, the Rock-shell Turtle had borne more heavy grey-black rocks on its body as if it had rolled about in the mud countless times.
As the green horned Dragon Carp sensed Lu Xuan’s aura, it swam from the bottom of the pond to the vicinity of the Rock-shell Turtle.
The Dragon Carp’s sleek figure, elegant movement, two cyan dragon whiskers drifting in the water contrasted sharply with the earthy Rock-shell Turtle nearby.
After feeding them some food, Lu Xuan hurried back into his room.
This trip to the secret land, he used up many treasures.
All the Explosion Beads obtained from the Flaming Fruit were used to blow up the blood sea. He used up one Great Sun Sword Charm and a Starfall Sword Charm, only two fourth-grade sword charms left.
Furthermore, the Third Rank Substitute Evil Infant that he had been keeping on his person for a long time and the Golden Crow Remnant Soul Attack from the Five-Rank “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman” had also been used up.
“However, the losses are still acceptable,” he muttered.
‘There are still quite a few Flaming Fruits grown in the sect, the accumulation of Explosion Beads is quick, and I have planted three Sword Nurturing Gourds. There is no need to worry about running out of sword talismans.”
“As for the ‘Pure Yang True Fire Talisman,’ I can still visualize the Golden Crow Diagram inside it and utilize it whenever the opportunity arises.”
Lu Xuan mused to himself.
Most importantly, the rewards gained in comparison to the efforts made, are substantial.”
He took out one treasure after another from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
A Strange Longevity Peach spiritual species and six harvested Strange
Longevity Peach Spirit Fruits.
“Fifth-order spiritual species, the cultivation method after mutation is quite strange. It would be perfect to plant it in the Underworld Court.”
Lu Xuan looked at the dark red peach core embedded in the coagulated flesh, deep in thought.
Next was the Medicinal Pangolin tightly shackled by the White Bone Demon Puppet.
Due to its near invisibility, it could disappear at any time if not handled carefully, so Lu Xuan had kept it sealed inside the bone.
He set up a simple spiritual restriction, and with a thought, a tiny crack immediately appeared on the bone ball.
A wisp of a faint medicinal fragrance drifted out from the crack.
Lu Xuan took out a Spirit Gathering Pill from his storage bag, and under the spiritual sense detection, the Transparent Medicinal Pangolin snuck over and wrapped around the Spirit Gathering Pill, greedily absorbing the Pill Toxin inside.
He caught hold of this opportunity to form a contract with the Medicinal Pangolin.
“From now on, there will be a large supply of elixirs.”
Lu Xuan conveyed a thought to the semi-transparent Medicinal Pangolin.
The pangolin feeds on the Pill Toxin in the pill furnace, and inside the elixir.
Feeding it with elixirs will not affect their medicinal strength, but would rather further increase the quality of elixirs
Then, came the trio of strange treasures obtained from the Jade Pool.
Resentful Soul Black Mud, snatched from a burly Formal Establishment midterm cultivator.
Its form was unstable, squeezing slightly would push resentful spirits out from within the black mud.
A dark yellow thread of incense, seized from the hands of a blood-robed cultivator. The thread incense was burning on its own, and smoke coiling around it formed a vague lotus platform in the sky with a Buddha image holding a flower and smiling, sitting on it.
An emerald green small sword obtained after getting rid of the short cultivator who controlled numerous Corpse Puppets, radiating a rich and pure vital force that repelled all evil.
Of the four treasures in the Jade Pool, three were in Lu Xuan’s possession. Only the exquisite seal stamp was taken away by the hunchbacked cultivator when he escaped.
At the very least, they’re all fourth-grade magical tools or treasures, and could even possibly be of the fifth grade. It’s a pity that I don’t know their history, thus the only option is to find ways to understand their specific functions.”
Lu Xuan perceived the strong spiritual power fluctuations inside the three treasures and speculated.
Next, were the storage bags obtained from several cultivators.
The focus was the storage bags left behind by the two Foundation Establishment Late-term Evil Cultivators.
Lu Xuan used spiritual power to forcefully open them and took out everything inside.
Spirit Stones clattered down. Lu Xuan took a quick glance and estimated there to be about five to six thousand.
Then came the variety of Elixir Talismans, some that Lu Xuan recognized, and some he had never seen before. The evil aura permeating them gave away’that they weren’t any orthodox elixirs.
The talismans were of mediocre quality, the highest being third grade. Lu Xuan, who was spoiled by various rare talismans, found them slightly underwhelming.
Additionally, there was a fourth-grade magical tool, a banner that had many Resentful Spirits and Resentful Wills refined within, and three third-grade magical tools with more or less strange and evil auras.
A bottle of dark red blood, rich in spiritual power, of exceptional quality, numerous rare monster bones polished to a shine, and an unexpected find, an odd spiritual species.
