Chapter 1244: Chapter 1241: Investigation

The two spoke for a while and decided to entrust the intelligence agency of the Sword Sect to help investigate the specific details of the Secret Land that Fire Scale Child explored.

Fire Scale Child was after all a Jindan Cultivator, there were many Golden Core Real People in the sect, and it was not possible to conduct a detailed investigation for every single one who died.

However, with Lu Xuan and Ge Pu, two Primordial Infant Cultivators, personally stepping forward, the intensity of the investigation would definitely be different.

Moreover, as Lu Xuan’s status within the Sword Sect has significantly risen and is highly regarded, his requests would naturally be met by the sect.

After obtaining detailed information, the two decided to join forces to eliminate the cultivator who had taken Fire Scale Child’s life, to alleviate their hearts’ resentment.

After Ge Pu left, Lu Xuan sat in the courtyard, looking at the boundless sea of Sword Qi clouds in the distance, and it took him a long time to lift his spirits and enter his Personal Spatial.

Inside, the two Fifth Grade Spiritual Plants, Pure Yang Golden Lotus and Five-Elements Illusory Fruit, had both fully matured.

In the depths of the Earth Fire, the scorching magma churned incessantly, erupting skywards from time to time, filling the entire space with clumps of fire clouds.

“Over thirty Pure Yang Golden Lotuses, I can keep twenty for Condensing Seed and collect the rest for Light Cluster rewards.”

He planned to condense more Pure Yang Golden Lotus Spiritual Seeds and try to modify and create new Spirit Plants.

Picking twelve Pure Yang Golden Lotuses, he harvested over a hundred golden lotus seeds.

Although the seeds were only fifth-grade, they contained a trace of Pure Yang Power, had a strong restraining effect on Monster Demons and Evil Haunted Wills, and if consumed for a long duration, could slightly enhance Spiritual Sense, making them very popular among Golden Core Cultivators.

Lu Xuan mostly consumed them himself or fed them to Spirit Beasts, gifted a small portion to some acquaintances, and the few that appeared in the shop would attract many Golden Core Real People, becoming a special feature treasure of the shop.

From the twelve Light Clusters, he obtained three strands of Sixth Grade Taiyi Pure Yang True Fire, three Heartflame Brew Recipe Experience Packs, and six servings of Heartflame Brew, the harvest being quite satisfactory.

The situation with the Five-Elements Illusory Fruit was similar; Lu Xuan kept twenty plants to Condense Seed, and after the seeds were formed, used them to attempt to modify and create new Spirit Plants.

Additionally, he harvested fourteen Light Clusters, receiving seven Five-Element Pills of fifth-grade, five Five Elements Pill Recipe Experience Packs, and two Seventh Grade Great Five Elements Annihilation Array Plates.

Lu Xuan collected various treasures and then proceeded to cultivate high-rank Spirit Plants scattered throughout the spatial area.

Soon, a month passed, and another Fifth Grade Spirit Plant matured.

Bright red, large pears hung among the branches that looked like fire clouds, the scorching aura detectable from afar.

“The fourth batch of Red Flaming Pears has matured.”

“The new batch has even fewer, only yielding fifteen Spirit Fruits.”

Lu Xuan remarked softly, remembering that the first harvest of this Fifth Grade Spirit Wood yielded twenty-one Red Flaming Pears, by the fourth harvest, only fifteen remained.

“It seems, even for perennial type Spirit Plants, it’s not possible to continuously produce Spirit Fruits, I anticipate this Fifth Grade Spirit Plant will reach its end after a few more harvests.”

Fifteen Red Flaming Pears, in total yielding five packages of Outer Heaven Flame Essence, seven portions of Fifth Grade Fire Attribute Spirit Ores, and three Sixth Grade Qianyuan Fire Cloud Needles.

“The odds of obtaining Qianyuan Fire Cloud Needles are getting smaller and smaller, wondering when I can collect a new complete set of Flying Needle Magical Instruments.”

He stored the fifteen Red Flaming Pears inside the Inch Book.

Fifth Grade Spirit Fruits were already quite rare in the Cultivation World, even major sect Golden Core Cultivators couldn’t consume them frequently.

Less than three months after harvesting the Red Flaming Pears, another perennial type Sixth Grade Spirit Plant matured.

Lu Xuan approached an Emerald Green Tea Tree; the tree’s branches were vigorously twisted and powerful, curved and spiraling like light blue glazed glass, its surface shimmering with a clear luster.

This was the fourth harvest of Sixth Grade Spirit Nurturing Divine Tea. Since it did not require starting from scratch, the time needed to harvest the Spiritual Tea was much less than the first time, yielding only four leaves.

“This is indeed a valuable treasure.”

Lu Xuan carefully picked the four glazed-like tea leaves and stored them in the Inch Book.

Spirit Nurturing Divine Tea could nourish the Divine Soul, stabilize the soul, strengthen the Divine Sense, and even Primordial Infant True Monarchs had a considerable demand for this Sixth Grade Spiritual Tea.

A white light group quietly appeared at the top of the Spiritual Tea.

Lu Xuan stretched his hand and gently touched the surface of the light group, and in an instant, a rain of light fell from the sky, quickly condensing into a thin river of light that entered Lu Xuan’s body.

A thought flashed rapidly through his mind.

[You have harvested Sixth Grade Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea Leaves, and obtained a Seventh Grade Luminous God Storage Pill Recipe Experience Pack.]

As the thought passed, a vast amount of information appeared instantaneously in his Sea of Consciousness.

In just a moment, he seemed to have gone through the process of refining that Seventh Grade Core Pill dozens or hundreds of times, understanding the details more thoroughly and clearly, barely reaching a proficient level.

“Having a proficient level in Seventh Grade Core Pills, even an Elder of the Pill Hall of the Sword Sect would hardly have the opportunity to refine so many Seventh Grade Core Pills.”

Lu Xuan silently contemplated.

“Just absorbing one or two more Pill Formula Experience Packs, I can start to refine the Luminous God Storage Pill.”

“However, before that, I need to gather the main materials for refining the Luminous God Storage Pill.”

“Additionally, if possible, I’ll also have the Commerce Association help find one or two saplings or Spiritual Seeds of the Divine Spirit-Nourishing Tea.”

He was quite fond of this Sixth-Grade Spirit Plant.

The tea itself held extremely high value, with treasures like the Seventh Grade Strange Treasure Stealing God Jade, as well as the equally rare and precious Luminous God Storage Pill and its recipe, emerging from the Light Cluster; each reward greatly appealed to him.

Coming out of his Personal Spatial, he was about to enter the Sword Grass Spirit Field to check on the many High Rank Sword Grass, when Ge Pu, dusty from travel, followed by the White Ape, entered the Cave Abode.

“Junior Brother Lu, there are results.”

“Brother, please tell.”

Lu Xuan’s expression turned solemn.

“According to my inquiries from multiple sources, the Secret Land that Junior Brother Huo explored is called Jueling Valley. It is far from the Sword Sect’s journey, and inside there are many Monster Demon and Evil Haunted Will. If lucky, one could find Treasure Items helping to break through the Realm.”

“I personally went over, and I cleaned up that Jueling Valley.”

“I also learned about the cultivators who survived the exploration of that Secret Land with Junior Brother Huo.”

“There’s a Golden Core Late Stage Loose Cultivator, known as the Yuxu Hermit, extremely skilled in Body Refinement, unpredictable in his movements, and seldom appears in the Cultivation World.”

“There are also four Golden Core Intermediate Cultivators from a place called Kongxuan Mountain, which has a loose organization formed by many Loose Cultivators gathering spontaneously; the leaders are two Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.”

“Yuxu Hermit… Kongxuan Mountain…”

“Brother Ge, you have worked hard during this period.”

Lu Xuan pondered and said.

“I have a significant relationship with the Sea Tower Commerce Association. Their footprint spans the Whole Sky Realm. I can entrust them to help search for that Golden Core Late Stage Loose Cultivator.”

“As for Kongxuan Mountain, I’ll handle it, junior brother.”

His expression was resolute.

“Junior Brother Lu, with two Nascent Soul Cultivators stationed at Kongxuan Mountain, are you sure you can handle it?”

“Could you find one or two familiar sect members from within the sect to support?”

Ge Pu asked with concern.

“Brother Ge, don’t worry, it’s been over seventy years since I advanced to Nascent Soul, and I still have several Treasure Items in hand.”

Lu Xuan said confidently.
