Void Nether Island.
“Alright, then. I’ll leave you here.”
“The sect brother who is taking over my position will arrive on the island soon. You can ask him for help in the future.”
Lu Xuan, riding on the spacious back of Fat Bird, spoke to the group of monks from the Song Family, led by Song Yu, behind him.
“Uncle Lu, this is a little token made from Void Nether Spirit Fish, for you to keep as a memento.”
Song Yu handed over an exquisite jade box, his tone boldly revealing his reluctance to part.
Throughout the three years of Lu Xuan’s stay on Void Nether Island, although he generally kept to himself, whenever a problem arose on the island, he was always the first to respond.
Especially on the matter of the Blood Worms infestation, he not only informed everyone in advance and made the necessary preparations, but he also sought out the Strange Worms and eliminated them all, thus nipping a potential crisis in the bud.
As such, both Song Yu and all the members of the Song Family were reluctant to see Lu Xuan leave.
Lu Xuan did not refuse the gift. He took the Jade Box and glanced at Song Yun who stood behind Song Yu.
“After I leave, remember to cultivate diligently. I look forward to the day when we meet at Sky Sword Sect.”
“Yes! Senior Lu! I assuredly won’t let you down!”
Song Yun, who was still a youth, nodded vigorously with moist eyes.
He had decent natural talent, and with Lu Xuan’s guidance, he had already reached Qi Cultivation Level Six at such a young age. Once he breaks through to become a High-Grade Qi Practitioner, he would be able to try joining the Sky Sword Sect.
Having given Song Yun his words, Lu Xuan turned his gaze to the stern-looking female Cultivator beside him, Zhou Bing Yu.
“Friend Zhou, today we part. I don’t know when we’ll meet again. I seldom leave the Sect, but if there’s a chance, you can visit me at the Sky Sword Sect.”
Shi Zhong had completed his stationing duties before Lu Xuan and had already returned to the Departure Mountain Sect, leaving his place to other sect members, even though he hated to part with the excellent fishing spot that was the Boundless Sea.
“Alright, Friend Lu, until we meet again.”
Zhou Bing Yu spoke indifferently.
“Until we meet again.”
Lu Xuan cupped his hands in a salute, had a thought, and the Wind Falcon let out a crisp cry. Its light blue wings emitted a spiritual glow as it transformed into a cyan light that soared into the sky.
Two days later, Sword Gate Town.
Lu Xuan guided Fat Bird to land on the large Qingshi Square. After grabbing some supplies from the shops and stalls run by Loose Cultivators, he hurriedly went to the Underworld Courtyard.
Upon unveiling the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array, a wave of familiar chilly air surged forth instantly.
After Lu Xuan carried away a number of Underworld Spiritual Plants the last time, the courtyard has appeared somewhat empty. Currently, only the Fifth Rank Holy Baby Fruit Plant and the Fifth Rank Blood Scourge Flower remain.
“It’s been three years since I’ve given them any proper care. 1 wonder how my two precious underworld plants have been getting by.”
He walked up to the Holy Baby Fruit, which had a fruit growing on the ground looking like an embryo. Inside the fruit, which was visible under the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, there was a skinny and shriveled gray-black infant hiding.
Sensing Lu Xuan’s gaze, the gray-black infant turned into a black shadow, silently concealing its figure.
An occasional faint, cold breath would gather around Lu Xuan, signaling its presence.
“Poor Holy Baby, it hasn’t eaten a child for three years now.”
Upon saying this, Lu Xuan took out the Five-Heart Demonic Artifact, a Wood Infant, from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
With a wave of the Purple Lightning Sword, a deep purple beam of lightning struck the ghastly green Wood Infant.
“Wake up! Spew out some infant souls!”
Stimulated by the electric glow, the Wood Infant trembled all over, with deep blue rune chains entwining its body, spiritual light surged, completely sealing it.
In the Wood Infant’s gray eyes, a deep resentment could be observed. With its extensive experience of electric shocks, it understood its situation, knowing that it would eventually have to spit out several infant souls, doing so early would spare it some of the suffering from the electric shocks.
A few breaths later, a fist-sized infant soul struggled to crawl out from a dark hole in the Wood Infant’s belly button.
The form was solid but did not disperse, turned into a color of grayish-white, eyes empty and dull, floating in the air.
Perceiving the appearance of the infant soul, the gray-black baby inside the Holy Baby Fruit appeared again, took a deep breath, and the infant soul was slurped into the spiritual fruit, like a noodle.
Lu Xuan followed the same pattern, squeezing several souls out of the Wood Infant’s body, and feeding them one by one to the Holy Baby Fruit.
“In the blink of an eye, several years have passed since I got this Holy Infant Fruit Plant. The plant is currently in a rapid growth period, and I must start considering that Evil Cultivator behind the scenes.”
The Holy Infant Fruit in the courtyard is not a complete plant, but a part of the offspring plant, separated from the mother plant. The Evil Cultivator, who threw out the offspring plant, can possess it when it is nearing maturity, observing and detecting the surrounding situation.
Lu Xuan has long thought of fishing out him along with the Holy Baby Fruit Mother Tree. He decided to wait a while longer until the Void Nightmare Eye becomes more proficiently refined, and to drop by the courtyard from time to time to monitor the Evil Cultivator behind the scenes instead.
After attentively cultivating the Holy Infant Fruit, Lu Xuan arrived at the Blood Scourge Flower.
A hollow blood ball grew on a slender and dark red stem.
The blood ball seemed woven from numerous minute blood vessels, having not absorbed fresh blood for a long time, these small blood vessels appeared to have shrunk a lot compared to before.
His spiritual sense probed into the blood ball. The boundless blood sea inside was no longer as spectacular as before, calm as a mirror, with only one scarlet flower bud waiting to bloom at the center.
Lu Xuan hurriedly took out the Flood Dragon Essence Blood from his storage bag and watered it on the surface of the blood ball.
The minute blood vessels immediately gained vitality, greedily absorbing the Flood Dragon Essence Blood, becoming vibrant all at once.
The previously deathly still blood sea inside began to stir again, the blood waves becoming larger and more turbulent, and the scarlet flower in the center slowly unfolded its petals.
After feeding the Blood Scourge Flower well, Lu Xuan took out the Strange Longevity Peach and the Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng from the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and transplanted them into the courtyard.
The Gluttonous Insect Pouch is two ranks higher than the Life Bag, and its effect in preserving the vitality of spirit plants is stronger. Within a few days, it had no effect on the two spirit plants.
Although the Strange Longevity Peach was originally a fifth-grade Longevity Pan Peach in its previous life, after its mutation, Lu Xuan didn’t dare to plant it in the sect and could only leave it in the Underworld Courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
At this point, there are a total of four strange spiritual plants in the courtyard, three of them are five-quality spirit plants, and the worst is the fourth-grade Blood Spirit Ginseng.
“Fortunately, I had previously drawn enough blood from those Flood Dragons in the Thousand Dragon Lake for medical examinations, otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to deal with these two blood-sucking spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan looked at the gently swaying hollow blood ball, and the pale red palms moving restlessly around the courtyard, and mused to himself.
After he had carefully nurtured these four underworld spiritual plants, Lu Xuan was eager to return to the sect. Commanding the fat bird, he arrived outside the sect’s protective grand array in a few moments.
Passing through the Zodiac Star Battle Sword Formation, a rich and pure spiritual energy hit him in the face.
“The sect is really the best.”
Lu Xuan felt emotional. While on Void Nether Island, although it was just a pond game, he was always somewhat uneasy. Upon returning to the sect, he felt a sense of relief.
He was worried about the various spiritual plants in his cave dwelling that he hadn’t seen in three years, so he did not rush to hand over the task but returned to his cave dwelling at the first moment.
He opened the formation, the thick white fog dispersed, and familiar scenes appeared before his eyes.
Lu Xuan’s figure flashed, he stood in the Spirit Field, looked around, and saw slight white lights flickering everywhere.
Clusters of light were all over the mountains!
