Chapter 1250: Chapter 1274: Ten Thousand Miles Instant Shadow Talisman

Outside the battlefield, a gentle breeze was blowing, stirring the Wind Listening Beast that had always been diligently helping to cultivate the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit.

A vine-like tendril emerged from the ground, inquisitively observing everything happening on the field.

Lu Xuan’s Divine Sense swept across the area; the Demonic Vine’s main body was still in a peach grove hundreds of miles away, only a single vine extended over to join in on the excitement.

White Ape and the others knew each other well, having comparable strengths, and it was difficult to determine a winner in the short term. After watching for a while, Lu Xuan turned and left.

Just as he was about to head toward the Evil Spirit Land, his eyes caught sight of a familiar figure in the Spirit Field, leading him to choose to descend.

A Grass Puppet with a huge tumor on its body was rushing over on its slender legs.

“Master.”

A faint Spirit Thought transmitted into Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

The Grass Puppet’s vacant eye sockets were fixed on Lu Xuan, its Spirit Thought brimming with evident joy.

“Why don’t you join in on the excitement?”

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded, asking casually.

“Guarding the Spirit Field.”

The Grass Puppet’s weak yet resolute thought transmitted into Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Lu Xuan nodded in praise.

Upon a closer inspection this time, he noticed significant changes in the Grass Puppet.

Its Spiritual Intelligence had clearly improved a lot compared to before. Besides, the two Arrow Vines that always hung on its shoulders seemed to have merged with the Grass Puppet, becoming one and the same.

“It looks like that drop of Eighth Grade Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid did have a remarkable effect, transforming the Grass Puppet with a weak foundation into its current state.”

“It might even have the potential to break through to the Seventh Grade level.”

Lu Xuan pondered to himself.

“Being so dedicated to your duties, once you break through, I’ll get you a new Treasure Item.”

He promised, looking at the Grass Puppet who treated the Fourth Grade Arrow Vine as a precious treasure.

“Many thanks… Master…”

The Grass Puppet’s huge head with the grass tumor wobbled, looking pleasantly surprised.

After a few words of encouragement from Lu Xuan, he entered the Evil Strange Spirit Field.

Opening the Prohibitions and Restrictions, a chilling aura assaulted his face. With a thought, Ling Gu quietly appeared before him.

“How are those Jindan Cultivators?”

Lu Xuan asked in a cold voice.

“As per your orders, we employed a variety of sinister and vicious methods, ensuring their Flesh and Blood, Divine Soul, and bones endured torture in every sense.”

“With the combined effects of various methods, they died one after another, becoming nourishment for the Spirit Field.”

Ling Gu replied with a hoarse voice.

“Good.”

Lu Xuan nodded expressionlessly.

From the moment the four of them fell into his hands, their fate had been sealed; it was just a matter of time.

He walked around the Spirit Field, carefully nurturing the few remaining Weird Spiritual Plants, such as the Netherworld Immortal Tree and the Buddha Mother Demon Seed, before he left to cultivate other High Rank Spirit Plants in various places within his Personal Spatial.

The Xuanhuang Tree, Celestial Veil Vine, and Nine True Spirit Leaves grow extremely slowly; a hundred years is but a momentary flicker to these ninth-grade and even Innate Spirit Roots.

The Extreme Saint Demon Fruit and Blood Nether Thunder Gourd, having met the full conditions for cultivation, are flourishing well; however, their maturation is still a long way off.

Besides these, the Evergreen Divine Wood, Flying Thunder Ganoderma King, and Ten Thousand Forged Spirit Wood all show strong growth patterns, and a few have even entered the mature stage.

“It takes more than a hundred years for a seventh-grade Spirit Plant to mature. If we cultivate them normally, the time is just too long. Once the two Divine Wood Green Gourds are filled and after collecting some more Wood Elf Juice, we can use the Great Art of Accelerated Growth again.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He did not have the patience to wait for all these high-rank Spirit Plants to mature normally. As soon as he had enough materials to speed up maturation, he would use the unfailingly effective Great Art of Accelerated Growth.

Cultivation knows no years, and quickly, three years passed.

During this period, there were no upheavals within the Sword Sect, nothing significant occurred.

There were always various fresh incidents in the Cultivation World; however, they were of little relation to Lu Xuan. He remained inside the Sect, peacefully cultivating Spiritual Plants, practicing various cultivation techniques and divine abilities, refining the rare Strange Treasures harvested from the Light Cluster, brewing Spirit Brew, drawing Sword Talismans, and making Elixirs in his spare time–his days were simple yet fulfilling.

When the Huanzhen Sword Peak celebrated his achievements with a banquet, the outside world learned of his breakthrough to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage. Although this initially caused quite a stir, as Lu Xuan continued to keep a low profile over time, the commotion gradually subsided.

Lu Xuan was happy to see this and devoted himself to cultivating the numerous high-rank Spirit Plants.

Within his Personal Spatial.

“Pure Yang Golden Lotus and Five-Elements Illusory Fruit have produced Mutated Spirit Seeds one after another. However, because the environmental conditions to stimulate and induce mutations in the Spiritual Seeds weren’t extreme enough, lacking the corresponding high-rank Spirit land and Treasure Items, the degree of mutation isn’t very high.”

“If we want to improve them into a new sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, there is still a long way to go.”

Lu Xuan examined the two fifth-grade Spiritual Seeds being improved at different locations one by one, sighing to himself.

Just as he was about to cultivate the Yin Yang Thunder Extreme Wood, suddenly, he keenly sensed a slight anomaly in his Personal Spatial.

His Divine Sense swept over and immediately locked onto the Flowing Light Spirit Crane that he had captured from the Sky Demon Realm.

This fifth-grade Spirit Crane’s aura was extremely unstable at this moment, with a Spiritual Energy Whirlpool faintly forming around it.

“Kept in the Personal Spatial for all these years and fully nurtured, the Flowing Light Spirit Crane is finally going to break through to the sixth grade.”

Lu Xuan instantly understood and, with a flash, arrived near the Spirit Crane.

This Spirit Crane had an extremely high innate potential and the tremendous potential to grow into a Seventh Grade Monster Beast. It was fed countless beneficial Thousand Forms Grass, suitable for a monster’s growth, within his Personal Spatial, finally forcefully stacked up to the peak of the fifth grade.

“Go ahead with the breakthrough, I’m here.”

He spoke a reassuring word, and the Spirit Crane within the Spiritual Energy Whirlpool let out a loud cry. Its gorgeous wings shone with colorful spiritual light, madly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

Nearly two hours later, with a cry that pierced the heavens, the aura of the Flowing Light Spirit Crane surged, successfully breaking through to the sixth grade.

“Well done, keep it up.”

Lu Xuan encouraged it with a few words, and after the excited Spirit Crane left, his gaze fell on the quietly appearing White Light Group.

The Light Cluster flickered faintly, seemingly beckoning him to touch it.

The moment his hand touched its edge, the Light Cluster silently shattered, turning into a sky full of fine light points that soared upwards, instantly condensing into a thin river of light that flowed into Lu Xuan’s body.

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

[The Flowing Light Spirit Crane successfully breaks through to the sixth grade and obtains a Seventh Grade Treasure Item – the Ten Thousand Miles Instant Shadow Talisman.]

As the thought disappeared, an odd Charm quietly appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

The Charm was translucent and seemed to merge with the Void, with nearly invisible shadows flickering across its surface.

Lu Xuan focused his Spirit Thought on the translucent Charm, instantly acquiring detailed information about it.

[The Ten Thousand Miles Instant Shadow Talisman, a seventh-grade Charm, can once activated create over a hundred illusions, making it hard to distinguish between reality and deception with the real body hidden among them. In just a few breaths, it can travel thousands of miles away.]

[It can be used multiple times, and after each activation, the Charm needs to be replenished with High Grade Spirit Stones or other Treasure Items to restore mana. Once the core Talisman Array inside the Charm loses functionality, the Charm gradually becomes common.]
