Chapter 1258: After modification: Chapter 1255 Ghost Car Remnant Soul

“When the eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit matures, a generous reward of light clusters will be received.”

“The matured Spirit Fruit can be used to feed Spirit Beasts. For eighth-grade treasures, it’s likely that it can promote the Flowing Light Spirit Crane and Wind Listening Beast to the seventh-grade level without any issues.”

“At that time, there will be another generous reward of light clusters.”

“From this perspective, accelerating the maturation of the eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit is feasible within my capability and highly cost-effective.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He took the Demon Core and invited the Patriarch Mu into a secluded courtyard.

“Taoist Mu, the price of this Demon Core…”

“Friend Lu, the Spirit Stones required for the Demon Core will be directly deducted from your share of the earnings. You will receive the corresponding bill at that time.”

Patriarch Mu said with a smile.

“That’s best, it saves some trouble.”

Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

After the relationship with the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce transformed from employment to cooperation, the other party valued him more, trying to meet his various demanding requirements.

After a brief conversation, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of something and his expression turned serious.

“Taoist Mu, may I ask, what is the relationship between the Commerce Association and the Taiyi Alliance?”

“Taiyi Alliance? Why did Fellow Taoist Mu suddenly bring it up?”

The old man looked puzzled.

“Recently, Fellow Daoist Wen of the Taiyi Alliance came to visit, seeking cooperation with me but was tactfully refused.”

“During the meeting, he mentioned the Commerce Association and Senior Instrument Spirit with a hint of disdain, so I paid extra attention.”

Lu Xuan honestly explained.

“I see, Friend Lu is thoughtful.”

“Though the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce is powerful, compared to the Taiyi Alliance, it is like the bright moon and stars, not on the same level.”

“Nonetheless, the Commerce Association is not easy to bully. In certain realms, it can rival the Taiyi Alliance and occasionally has minor clashes.”

The old man spoke calmly.

“I see, now I am relieved.”

Lu Xuan nodded.

Patriarch Mu didn’t stay long, soon bidding farewell to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan took the Demon Core and entered his personal spatial realm.

As soon as he approached the eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit, a gentle breeze blew, and the mysterious Wind Listening Beast silently revealed itself.

“During this period, it will be tough for you.”

“I will use multiple spiritual objects to accelerate the maturation of this eighth-grade Spirit Plant.”

“Your task is to do your best to refine this seventh-grade Demon Core and use the demonic power within it to nourish the Spirit Plant’s growth needs.”

Lu Xuan sternly instructed.

The Wind Listening Beast nodded slightly, appearing ready for a formidable challenge.

Lu Xuan focused his mind, and two jade green small pots appeared before him. The pot mouths opened, sending out two streams of extremely pure plant spirit aura, seeping into the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit nearby.

The Wind Listening Beast transformed into an imperceptible breeze, penetrating the Demon Core. Inside, the four-winged demon tiger became instantly active, its demonic power surged violently.

When applied to the eighth-grade Spirit Plant, whether it was the Divine Wood Green Pot or the Wood Elf Juice, the acceleration effects were significantly reduced. Thus, the key to the maturity of the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit relied on the remaining five drops of Taiyi Green Spirit Liquid.

Lu Xuan patiently waited for the Wind Listening Beast to control the demonic power within the Demon Core, abundantly nourishing the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit.

Five months swiftly passed, the plant spirit aura in the two Divine Wood Green Pots was exhausted. The Extreme Saint Demon Fruit had grown significantly compared to its initial state, with dense demonic power lingering around the Spirit Field, enduringly.

During this period, all seventy-five Origin Spirit Ginseng plants matured.

“Keep thirty plants for seed consolidation, harvest the rest.”

Carefully, he harvested over forty pure white Spirit Ginseng plants, storing them all in the Inch Book.

He glanced across the Spirit Field at the faintly flickering clusters of white light and chuckled, swiftly passing over.

Forty clusters of light shattered simultaneously, raining down like a glowing mist, brightly illuminating the sky over the Spirit Field.

Soon after, they transformed into slender rivers of light, merging into Lu Xuan’s body.

Meanwhile, numerous thoughts swiftly passed through his sea of consciousness like a carousel.

Each light cluster reward either appeared before him or entered his sea of consciousness.

“I didn’t expect the light cluster rewards for low-grade Spirit Plants to weaken after breaking through to the mid Nascent Soul stage.”

Lu Xuan stood there, reflecting internally.

Previously, such situations only occurred when crossing major realms. This time, despite the breakthrough being only to the mid Nascent Soul stage, the light cluster rewards notably changed.

Among forty-five white light clusters, the fifth rank Essence Spirit Pills were the most abundant, totaling eighteen, with five being inferior goods, significantly less effective than ordinary Essence Spirit Pills.

Additionally, the cultivation level rewards also decreased, with clusters offering ten-year cultivation periods appearing.

Eleven light clusters provided cultivation level rewards, granting Lu Xuan over two hundred years of cultivation.

“Although slightly weakened, it is still acceptable.”

“Nonetheless, I must prepare in advance, improving or gathering new cultivation level Spirit Plants to avoid difficulties in normal cultivation rewards upon reaching the late Nascent Soul stage or Divinity Transformation stage.”

Lu Xuan prepared in advance.

The remaining dozen light clusters rewarded him with Essence Spirit Pill Elixir Recipe Experience Packages, granting him vast amounts of alchemy experience out of thin air.

After harvesting a batch of Origin Spirit Ginseng, another six months passed, the thirty remaining plants successfully consolidated into seeds, totaling ninety-eight Origin Spirit Ginseng Seeds.

Meanwhile, the maturation of the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit neared completion.

A drop of highly vital green spiritual liquid silently emerged before him, falling into the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit without a sound.

Instantly, layers of pale green ripples swept through the Spirit Plant, silently permeating its branches and leaves.

Following, the second drop, then the third.

Lu Xuan carefully observed, noting the semi-transparent progress bar beneath the Extreme Saint Demon Fruit was fully filled.

“With one seventh-grade Demon Core, two pots of plant spirit aura, over ten drops of Wood Elf Juice, and the crucial three drops of Taiyi Green Spirit Liquid, the eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit is finally matured.”

Lu Xuan reached into the dense demonic power, plucking the Spirit Fruit emitting astonishing demonic energy.

Without checking the fruit’s details, his attention was entirely drawn to the quietly emerging white light cluster.

Gently touching the light cluster surface, it silently shattered, transforming into myriad tiny light points that shot up, quickly forming a slender river of light, merging into Lu Xuan’s body.

At the same time, an insight flashed through his sea of consciousness.

[Harvesting eighth-grade Extreme Saint Demon Fruit, you receive a ninth-grade treasure item: Remnant Soul of Gui Che.]

As the insight faded, a terrifying remnant soul instantly appeared before Lu Xuan.

The remnant soul belonged to a giant nine-headed bird, ferocious and menacing, exuding surging demonic power and an extremely terrifying aura.

Lu Xuan’s mind focused on it, promptly learning its detailed information.

[Remnant Soul of Gui Che, a ninth-grade treasure item, is a fragment left by the ancient demon god Gui Che. It can be used to refine high-order magical artifacts, becoming their artifact spirit, with a certain chance of growing into an acquired spirit treasure after years of nurturing.]

[If refined by descendants of Gui Che bloodline, their bloodline will be significantly purified, instantly gaining supreme potential, easily growing into a demon race saint.]
