Chapter 1202: Chapter 1199: Benevolent and Virtuous Junior Brother Lu Chapter 1202: Chapter 1199: Benevolent and Virtuous Junior Brother Lu Chongxu Sword Peak.

Lu Xuan arrived as scheduled.

For each Sword Peak, a disciple successfully breaking through to Nascent Soul was a top-priority event, even for Chongxu Sword Peak, which had the most Primordial Infant True Monarchs.

At the sharp, sword-blade-like summit of the thousand-zhang-high mountain, there sat a majestic and enormous palace. At this moment, the palace was adorned with lanterns and colored streamers, with many immortal cranes leisurely fluttering and dancing about, exuding an atmosphere of joy.

Wan Chong stood at the entrance, welcoming fellow disciples from the various great Sword Peaks.

After his advancement to Nascent Soul, he was spirited and high-spirited, smiling as he faced the numerous “Cultivators.”

“Senior Brother Wan, congratulations on your advancement to Nascent Soul. I wish you divine enlightenment on the great path and everlasting life,” Lu Xuan Laughed as he congratulated.

When the two first met, since his own cultivation level was much lower, he never changed how he addressed the other, continuing to call him senior brother.

“Thank you, Junior Brother Lu,” Wan Chong bowed to Lu Xuan.

“Here are two Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves, given to senior brother as a congratulatory gift for your advancement to Nascent Soul,”
Lu Xuan handed over an exquisitely crafted gift box to a fellow Chongxu Sword Peak disciple responsible for accepting gifts.

“Junior Brother Lu, you’re too kind,” Wan Chong’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

He was aware of the Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea cultivated by Lu Xuan, having seen it at a private auction. It could stabilize the soul and strengthen divine sense, having a significant effect even for Primordial Infant True Monarchs, and its value among sixth grade Spiritual Medicines was at the forefront.

According to what Lu Xuan had said at the time, the yield was extremely low, and he hadn’t expected to receive two leaves to celebrate his achievement.

“Senior Brother Wan, there’s no need for formalities between us,” Lu Xuan smiled and then stepped into the main hall.

Inside the hall, there were already more than thirty Primordial Infant True Monarchs, mainly from Chongxu Sword Peak, but there were also representatives sent from the other eight Sword Peaks and Sword Palace. In addition, “Cultivators” from Sect Powers in nearby realms were also present.

“Daoist Lu, I’ve long admired your reputation. I am Xia Zhiyou from Tianxuan Sect.”

“Junior Brother Lu, how fortunate to run into you. Let’s take this opportunity to have a good chat with your senior brother,”
As soon as Lu Xuan appeared, many Primordial Infant True Monarchs enthusiastically greeted him.

Among them were fellow disciples from the Sword Sect who were rarely seen and also Nascent Soul “Cultivators” from other Sects.

Lu Xuan smiled and responded to each one.

“Hmm, Zhou Chao is here too,”
He spotted a young man with an indifferent expression in a corner. It was Zhou Chao, who had been to the Liyang Dao Sect with him before. Now, the young man’s demeanor was calm, giving no hint of his inner thoughts.

“I’ve seen Uncle Lu,”
Zhou Chao was still at the Golden Core Completion Realm, and he rose to greet Lu Xuan upon noticing him.

“Nephew Zhou is well,”
Lu Xuan nodded slightly and walked a few steps forward, choosing to sit down next to a familiar fellow disciple from Huanzhen Sword Peak.

It wasn’t long before the celebratory banquet officially began, and the table was adorned with all kinds of exquisite dishes and rare fruits, making Lu Xuan’s mouth water as he thoroughly enjoyed the feast.

“Junior Brother Lu,”
While he was savoring the delicacies, an elderly man with the appearance of an old farmer came to his side.

The old man wore coarse cloth clothes and swayed a cattail leaf fan in his hand, appearing utterly ordinary, yet exuding an aura that signified a return to simplicity and truth.

“I have seen the Sword Master,”
The surrounding Nascent Soul peers rose up in unison, paying their respects and greeting.

“I have seen the Sword Master,”
Lu Xuan also paid his respects deferentially.

Although it was the first meeting with the elder, he could instantly infer information about him based on the attitudes of those around.

It was indeed the Chongxu Sword Master who controlled the strongest of the nine great Sword Peaks. His cultivation ranked first among the nine Sword Masters and he was one of the few in the Sword Sect most likely to advance to Divinity Transformation.

“There’s no need for junior brother to be so formal,”
The Chongxu Sword Master narrowed his eyes and smiled, his face creasing like a blooming chrysanthemum.

“I had heard of Junior Brother Lu’s reputation long ago, that Huan Zhen lad was truly lucky to chance upon such a great fortune and to actually bring Junior Brother Lu back from Cloud Void Domain,”
Chongxu Sword Master said with a laugh and a sigh.

Caught between two great Sword Masters, Lu Xuan could only feign ignorance, chuckling with a pretend look of misunderstanding.

“Improving the Sixth Grade Life-taking Prison Suppressing Sword Grass… Junior Brother Lu, you are a naturally born Spirit Plant Master.”

“It’s a pity that you ended up with that Huan Zhen lad,”
the elder said as he gently shook his head.

“Junior Brother Lu, should you ever feel dissatisfied at Huanzhen Sword Peak, or if that Huan Zhen lad neglects you, you are welcome to come over to my Chongxu Sword Peak.”

“Not to mention anything else, within Chongxu Sword Peak, your status would be second only to two or three individuals,”
Chongxu Sword Master promised Lu Xuan.

“Senior Brother Chongxu, the Sword Master currently treats me well, and for the time being, I have no thoughts of leaving Huanzhen Sword Peak,”
“However, I can promise you that if I ever do have such thoughts, I will consider Chongxu Sword Peak as my first choice,”
Lu Xuan spoke half-truthfully.

He felt extremely comfortable at Huanzhen Sword Peak and had no such plans at all; he was simply placating the other party.

“All right, I won’t keep you, Junior Brother,”
Sword Master Huan Zhen turned and left.

Once his figure disappeared, several Primordial Infant True Monarchs around him breathed a secret sigh of relief.

This elder was in charge of Chongxu Sword Peak, and among all Primordial Infant Cultivators of the Sword Sect, his fighting power was among the top, placing pressure on those of the same realm.

At the same time, everyone’s attitude towards Lu Xuan grew much warmer.

The fact that the Chongxu Sword Master personally invited him highlighted Lu Xuan’s value.

“Friend Lu, please allow Xia Mou to introduce myself once again,”
“Junior Brother Lu…”

“Everyone, everyone, Lu Mou is just a Spirit Plant Master with good luck, receiving such favor from Chongxu Sword Master.

Regarding spirit plants, I am happy to share my knowledge, but I must apologize for my inability to help with anything else,”
Lu Xuan hurriedly explained.

“Daoist Lu, there’s no need for modesty. A Spirit Plant Master like you would be considered rare even in the Whole Sky Realm,”
some cultivators from the Great Sect flattered.

“Junior Brother Lu, if I ever manage to get a Seventh Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed, may I entrust you to help cultivate it?”

a fellow disciple from Sword Sect asked.

Although cultivating Sword Grass oneself could achieve a harmonious connection and bring out its full power, not every Sword Cultivator was skilled at cultivating Sword Grass, especially at the Seventh Grade level.

If the cultivation failed, it would all be for naught, wasting time and effort and leading to a significant loss.

However, entrusting the cultivation of High Rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds to Lu Xuan was different.

The success rate was one hundred percent, with a good chance of yielding high-quality Sword Grass.

As for the issue of bonding with the Sword Grass, constant nurturing and warmth after it matured would suffice.

“Of course, no problem,”
“I welcome all Senior Brothers to bring High Rank Sword Grass Spirit Seeds. With my personal reputation as a guarantee, I will certainly successfully cultivate the Sword Grass,”
Lu Xuan naturally jumped at such a good opportunity and immediately agreed.

“Even other Seventh Grade or higher spirit plants can also be entrusted to me if my Senior Brothers are not confident in their cultivation success,”
“Just offer a friendly price for the commission, after all, what I love most in life is collecting all kinds of rare and unusual spirit plants. As for the reward, it’s secondary,”
Lu Xuan said earnestly, his face displaying a smile.

“Junior Brother truly has a sincere heart for spirit plants,”
“How could we impose on you then? If we indeed entrust you, we will certainly reward you generously,”
seeing Lu Xuan’s attitude, several fellow Sword Sect disciples expressed their appreciation for his benevolence and readily agreed.
