Chapter 1257: After modification: Chapter 1254 Demon Core

Wen Qian and Chen Qingshuang formed their cores one after another, which made Lu Xuan quite relieved.

“I wonder how Hong Qinghai is doing in the Heavenly Star Cave?”

“If there’s a suitable opportunity, I must visit him and perhaps search for the Xuan Ji Tree Mother to see if I can extract some Spirit Plants to accelerate their maturation.”

He thought to himself secretly.

Back when he decided to refine the Incomplete Cave Heaven, he knew his future visits to the Cloud Void Domain would be few and far between. Upon leaving, he left Hong Qinghai to manage the shop there, using the Chamber of Commerce for transporting treasure

In the personal spatial space.

Lu Xuan nurtured numerous high-rank Spirit Plants and entered the Thunder Behemoth’s Territory.

In the core of the territory, various Thunder Attribute Spirit Plants were planted, ranging from the Fifth Grade Thunder Evil Spirit Lotus to the Ninth Grade Yin Yang Thunder Extreme Wood, along with Flying Thunder Ganoderma Kings, Blood Nether Thunder Gourds, and numerous Thunder Clap Sword Grass spirit seeds, bathing in the pure Thunder Qi.

After nurturing them one by one, he proceeded to the side of the Green Horn Thunder Son.

The Green Horn Thunder Son lay on the ground like a mountain, with thunder light pouring out of the peaks and valleys and the thunderous sound resonating for dozens of miles around.

“Kid Lu, you’re here?”

“I’ve been sleeping deeply; can’t remember how long I’ve slept.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son slowly arose, its breath like thunder, as if bolts of lightning exploded beside Lu Xuan’s ears.

“It’s been a while since I visited you, senior. Today, after nurturing the Spirit Plants, I decided to come and see you.”

Lu Xuan smiled and said.

“At least you have some conscience and remember this old fellow who’s nearing his end.”

“I don’t have many years left to live. You must come often to see me in the future.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son yawned lazily.

“I will definitely visit often.”

“Judging by your vitality, senior, it’s far from the day of your end.”

Lu Xuan expertly jumped onto the back of the Green Horn Thunder Son, clearing the collected Thunder Death Crystals.

“I know my own body better than anyone.”

The Thunder Son slightly shifted its mountainous body, skillfully moving Lu Xuan to the other side.

“I said that as I have my reasons.”

Lu Xuan showed a mysterious smile.

He leapt forward and jumped in front of the Thunder Son, suddenly revealing a Spirit Pill the size of a baby’s head in his hand, with the faint shadows of a Spirit Turtle and Spirit Crane swirling around it, emanating pure vitality.

“Another Turtle Crane Vital Pill?”

“How do you have so many Seventh Grade Lifespan Extending Spirit Pills?”

Even with vast experience, the Green Horn Thunder Son couldn’t hide its surprise upon seeing the Turtle Crane Vital Pill in Lu Xuan’s hand for the third time.

The Turtle Crane Vital Pill is a Seventh Grade and extremely rare Lifespan Extending Spirit Pill, yet such a precious and rare treasure appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand like a commonplace item, frequently taken out.

“I obtained the Turtle Crane Vital Pill recipe long ago. Though collecting the ingredients is difficult, after a lengthy preparation, I created several batches and succeeded once by chance. I immediately thought of you, senior.”

Lu Xuan said earnestly.

The Green Horn Thunder Son felt mixed emotions upon hearing this.

“Kid Lu, you have a heart. I can’t thank you enough.”

It said with complex emotions and swallowed the Turtle Crane Vital Pill.

Soon, the vitality within the Thunder Son surged, with countless thunder lights shining, forming a world of thunder.

After an hour, the thunder light dissipated, and the rejuvenated Green Horn Thunder Son appeared before Lu Xuan.

“Senior, how do you feel after taking the Turtle Crane Vital Pill for the third time?”

Lu Xuan was concerned that the pill’s effectiveness might have weakened significantly, so he asked hurriedly.

“The first time I took it, it extended my life by over a hundred years; the second time, by over a hundred years as well; this time, by over eighty years.”

“Although its efficacy keeps diminishing, it’s still like finding water in a drought, very refreshing.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son said with excitement.

“I initially had three hundred and eighty years to live, including the power from the first two Turtle Crane Vital Pills and the third spirit pill.”

Three hundred years might not seem significant in the long life of the Green Horn Thunder Son, but if considered from another perspective, it was invaluable.

“I wanted to retire here peacefully, but now I owe you a huge favor.”

“I’ll take this chance to venture out.”

Despite living for thousands of years, the Green Horn Thunder Son felt full of energy at this moment.

“Tell me, do you have any treasures you desire? I’ll see if I can find one or two for you.”

“Senior, you already know what I need.”

Lu Xuan’s lips curled into a smile.

“High-grade Spiritual Seeds, right?”

“When I received the Thunder Son inheritance, there seemed to be some fragments about high-grade Spiritual Seeds. I’ll look for them on this trip.”

The Green Horn Thunder Son said in a muffled voice.

It instructed Lu Xuan to take good care of the Thunder Beast clan, then let him stealthily leave the Sword Sect, disappearing into the endless void.

“Ten thousand years is the age for adventure. I hope Senior Thunder Son can give me a big surprise.”

Lu Xuan thought secretly.

He managed to find three Turtle Crane Vital Pills from the Sky Origin Fruit light cluster and immediately thought of the Green Horn Thunder Son he had known for over two hundred years.

Although the third use had a much weaker effect, he was willing, just to extend the Thunder Son’s life.

After the Green Horn Thunder Son left, half a year quickly passed.

In the Spirit Field, numerous Origin Spirit Ginseng were thriving and had all matured. It wouldn’t be long before he could reap a significant amount of cultivation.

One day, while he was cultivating in his cave abode, he suddenly heard the sharp voice of the White Ape from outside.

“Master, the Head of the Sea Tower Trade Association’s Mu Family is here to see you.”

A sweep of his Divine Sense quickly revealed the presence of the Mu Family Head behind the White Ape.

“Taoist friend Mu, long time no see.”

Lu Xuan flashed to the entrance of the cave abode and greeted with cupped hands.

“I heard Daoist Lu has reached the Mid Nascent Soul Stage; truly worthy of celebration.”

“I was in seclusion practicing back then and couldn’t come to the Sword Sect to congratulate Daoist Lu; please forgive me.”

The elder’s smile carried an almost imperceptible hint of flattery.

Remembering the Commerce Association Guest Elder who once showed extreme respect in front of him and had grown to this stage in over a hundred years, he felt a surreal, dreamlike sensation.

“No worries, just a fluke.”

Lu Xuan said modestly.

“I came here to have a small gathering with Daoist Lu and to personally deliver a Seventh Grade Demon Core.”

The elder revealed a faint black Demon Core, inside which faintly appeared a four-winged demon tiger. The demon tiger’s expression was ferocious, radiating domineering aura, as if it could break out of the Demon Core at any moment.

“Seventh Grade Demon Core? Taoist friend Mu, you’ve worked hard.”

Lu Xuan’s face revealed a faint smile.

Though the Flowing Light Spirit Crane had already advanced to a Tier 6 Spirit Beast, further progress was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even raising a large amount of Thousand Forms Grass wouldn’t ensure success anytime soon.

After finding no result with searching Spiritual Objects for the demon race breakthroughs, Lu Xuan set his sights on the Eight Grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit, hence the idea to accelerate its maturation.

Maturing an Eight Grade Spirit Fruit is not simply accomplished using corresponding Spiritual Objects but requires a vast amount of refined demonic power. Lu Xuan enlisted the Chamber of Commerce to help collect a Seventh Grade treasure item imbued with pure demonic power.
