Chapter 1241: Chapter 1238: Ninth Grade Lotus Platform

“Junior Brother Lu, I was just planning to come to you to exchange the Sword Talisman and Sword Liquid, and return to the cave abode together.”

After leaving Jin Zaigan, Yuan Rong transmitted her voice to Lu Xuan.

“No problem.”

Lu Xuan casually agreed.

The two entered the cave abode, coming to a quiet courtyard.

“Senior Sister Yuan, bring a cup of Green Condensation Dew.”

Soon, Lu Xuan brought over a full cup of light green Spirit Brew and handed it to Yuan Rong.

Every cultivator has different tastes, like Li Xuanchen, who likes strong Spirit Brews like Ape Demon Wine and Heart Flame Wine, while Yuan Rong favors the fresh tasting Green Condensation Dew and Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.

“Ah, seeing Senior Brother Jin like that today, my heart truly suffers.”

Yuan Rong sighed lightly, her expression filled with regret.

She had known Jin Zaigan far longer than Lu Xuan, and her feelings were much deeper, hence she found it even harder to accept his current situation.

“Indeed, the disparity is too great. Fortunately, Senior Brother Jin has a strong will; if it were me, I would have probably already been attacked by a Heart Demon.”

Lu Xuan chuckled lightly.

“It’s also a huge disparity for that disciple of Senior Brother Jin.”

“He became a disciple under a Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, naturally hoping to rely on Senior Brother Jin. But now, as a master, Senior Brother Jin’s cultivation level actually lags far behind his own disciple.”

Yuan Rong spoke worriedly.

“Senior Sister Yuan’s words are very true, but it’s unknown if that nephew can continue to stay by Senior Brother Jin’s side.”

Lu Xuan nodded gently, expressing approval.

“Apart from staying by Senior Brother Jin’s side, he has no other choice.”

“First of all, betraying one’s master and ancestors is a great taboo in the sect, and one absolutely must not betray Senior Brother Jin, otherwise endless severe punishments await him.”

“Secondly, it is also not good to switch to another Nascent Soul’s tutelage, otherwise, there will be no standing in the Sword Sect.”

“In that case, that nephew Li can only continue to stay by Senior Brother Jin’s side.”

Lu Xuan nodded, “Staying by Senior Brother Jin’s side is also a good choice.”

“After all, the master once had Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and can guide in cultivation, and he still possesses some treasures.”

“Moreover, considering the care for Senior Brother Jin, the Sword Master will naturally not mistreat that nephew, and we will also look after him from time to time.”

“You’re right, Junior Brother Lu.”

Yuan Rong smiled in response.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xuan took out the Sword Talismans and Sword Liquid that he had refined and harvested during this period.

Along the way, he obtained nearly twenty thousand Sword Marks from Yuan Rong, which could be described as a rich harvest.

After Yuan Rong left, he entered the house and began cultivating “Universe within the Sleeve.”

A night passed.

“This divine ability is too difficult!”

“I can’t cultivate it!”

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, his expression helpless.

The difficulty of cultivating “Universe within the Sleeve” was beyond his expectations. After such a long time of cultivation since obtaining it, it couldn’t be said that he hadn’t gained anything, but the effects were indeed minimal.

“Let’s refine some Elixir to adjust a bit.”

He entered the Pill Room, beginning to concoct the Fifth Grade Essence Spirit Pills.

Last time, the gathering of over thirty Origin Spirit Ginsengs and eight Pill Formula Experience Packages enhanced his skills in concocting fifth-grade spirit pills to a great achievement realm, boasting an astonishing success rate within the range of fifth-grade medicinal pills.

Batch by batch, Essence Spirit Pills flew out continuously, and Lu Xuan felt as if he saw countless Spirit Stones fluttering in the air, which greatly pleased his heart.

He entered his Personal Spatial, arriving in front of that Bodhi Tree, which was in the process of comprehending the Dao.

The Bodhi Tree was pale blue in color, with barely discernible wisps of pure spiritual aura swirling around it; a small Bodhi resembling a jade bead grew at the top of the spirit tree, refreshing anyone who gazed upon it from afar.

“The Bodhi of enlightenment is in its later stages, the effect of the Seventh Grade Wood Elf Juice seems to be diminishing compared to before.”

After a drop of Wood Elf Juice was infused into the Bodhi of enlightenment, watching the barely extended semi-transparent progress bar, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but reflect.

“It’s time to use the Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid.”

A drop of densely vibrant life-filled bluish-green Spiritual Liquid quietly appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

It was precisely the Eighth Grade Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid that had been acquired from the Divine Wood Sect, known for its intense ripening effects and particularly suitable for wood element Spirit Beasts, monsters, and Spirit Plants; it was also a key ingredient in concocting some high-level elixirs, exceedingly rare and precious.

The Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid silently fell onto the Bodhi of enlightenment, instantly stirring up layers of light green ripples, which passed over the spirit tree and silently merged into its inner parts.

The branches and leaves of the Bodhi slightly trembled, displaying an innate greed for this intensely rich vitality, madly absorbing it.

The Bodhi Spirit Fruit at the apex was greener, crystal clear, exuding an ultimate pure and refreshing essence.

After one drop of Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid, Lu Xuan’s mind focused on the Bodhi of enlightenment and found that the lower semi-transparent progress bar had extended significantly.

“The effect of the Eighth Grade ripening Spiritual Liquid is terrifying, producing immediate results.”

Lu Xuan sighed, estimating that two more drops of Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid were needed, and thus he took out two more drops.

After the third drop of bluish-green Spiritual Liquid merged into the Bodhi of enlightenment, a pale blue storm appeared around the spirit tree, with massive amounts of Plant Spirit Aura funneling into the Bodhi Spirit Fruit at the top.

The progress bar below filled up nearly at a visibly fast rate.

“The Eighth Grade Bodhi of enlightenment has finally matured.”

One Divine Wood Green Pot filled with Plant Spirit Aura, ten drops of Wood Elf Juice, and three drops of Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid had successfully ripened this few-decades-old Eighth Grade Spirit Plant.

“Having invested so much, I hope the treasure inside the Light Cluster won’t disappoint me.”

At this moment, Lu Xuan’s heart was like a child’s, rather nervously rubbing his hands together, reaching forward with deep anticipation to gently touch the surface of the Light Cluster.

In an instant, the Light Cluster noiselessly shattered, a splendid display of light rain pouring down, forming a magnificent scene, and then condensing into a slender light river that entered Lu Xuan’s body.

At the same time, a thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.

[Harvest one Eighth Grade Bodhi of enlightenment, received Ninth Grade treasure Ninth Grade Lotus Platform.]

As the thought disappeared, a Deep Green Lotus Platform appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The Lotus Platform had nine petals, each petal circulating with Buddhist light, with patterns resembling profound scriptures, floating in the air as if forming a realm of its own.

Lu Xuan’s spirit focused on the Deep Green Lotus Platform, immediately learning detailed information about it.

[Ninth Grade Lotus Platform, a Ninth Grade treasure, crafted by a Buddha from the Lesser Western Paradise who collected a Ninth Grade Golden Lotus, refined over hundreds of years, can be transformed into a high-order magical artifact.]

[Ninth Grade Golden Lotus, born out of Chaos, when refined listening to the silent true meanings of the Buddhist Gate, contains rich Buddhist Power, greatly beneficial to Buddhist cultivators, rapidly enhancing their cultivation level.]

[After ritual refinement, sitting on the Lotus Platform greatly enhances Spiritual Wisdom, aiding cultivators in comprehending various Mysterious Divine Abilities and secret techniques, while the platform also possesses extraordinary defensive power, able to withstand attacks from the majority of high-order magical artifacts.]

“Ninth Grade Treasure!!!”

Lu Xuan, gazing at the slowly rotating Ninth Grade Lotus Platform in front of him, could not suppress his excitement, his smile unstoppable.

“My first Ninth Grade treasure! It was worth the great cost to ripen the Bodhi of enlightenment.”

He couldn’t help but exclaim.
