Chapter 154: Adventure? No way.
Chapter 154 – Adventure? Impossible.
Outside the small courtyard.
Two Qi Practitioner Middle Stage cultivators looked up at the formation that enveloped the entire small courtyard and whispered.
“The owner of this courtyard is too mysterious, keeping the second grade defense formation on all the time, wasting so many spirit stones for nothing.”
“I also don’t know what exactly is the origin, the divine dragon is nowhere to be seen, I’ve never seen his figure.”
“Hey, you say, is it possible that the owner of the courtyard has died in a secret realm somewhere, that’s why there have been no cultivators coming in or out?”
“In that case ……”
A cultivator raised an eyebrow at his companion, revealing a meaningful look.
“Speak cautiously! It’s best not to harbor such thoughts!”
“This is under the Heavenly Sword Sect, maybe behind the courtyard represents a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple, if we accidentally piss him off, then it’s very likely that our lives will be in danger.”
His companion cautiously looked around and advised him.
Just as the two were planning to leave, suddenly, a clear voice came from behind them.
“Two fellow Daoists, stopping in front of the door of my courtyard, could it be that you are waiting for me?”
The two were startled in their hearts and turned their heads to look, only to see a cultivator with a clear appearance looking at them with a smile.
What shocked the two even more was the clothes worn by the youth, which were the standardized vestments of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s outer disciples.
“Please don’t misunderstand this fellow Daoist, the two of us live not far from your small courtyard, and by chance we passed by here and happened to run into your return.”
One of them looked slightly flustered as he explained to Lu Xuan.
“Is that so? When I saw the two of you like this, I thought that you were trying to plot against the things inside my small courtyard!”
Lu Xuan looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
“There is absolutely no such possibility!”
The cultivator said back with a firm voice.
“The two of us come from an orthodox background, and the reason we stayed in Sword Gate Town was so that we could serve the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples in our family at all times.”
“My family’s young master is currently a Qi Practicing Perfection Cultivator, and is perhaps even acquainted with you, Fellow Daoist.”
“I see, it seems I was overly concerned.”
Lu Xuan smiled bashfully.
“This small courtyard is one of my settlements in Sword Gate Town, and since I don’t like to come into contact with strangers, I set up this formation as protection.”
“Coming in being prepared to impact the Foundation Establishment Realm, the number of times I come over here is even less.”
Lu Xuan said indifferently, casually stating a reason that convinced the two cultivators, while also revealing a few hints of intimidation.
“I wish you, Fellow Daoist, an early breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”
The two men said, bowing their heads in unison and wishing for the best.
“If senior doesn’t mind, the two of us can help senior keep an eye out on weekdays, lest we let those petty people dirty senior’s residence.”
Hearing that Lu Xuan was preparing to impact the Foundation Establishment Realm, the two of them changed their address without moving, and even volunteered to help Lu Xuan look after the small courtyard.
“Well, then I’ll trouble you two, if the small courtyard stays normal, I’ll definitely give you a generous reward.”
Lu Xuan drew a big pie for the two Qi Practicing Middle Stage Cultivators and glanced deeply at the two of them, as if he was trying to imprint their faces deep within his heart.
With that, he opened the formation and entered the small courtyard.
When Lu Xuan’s silhouette completely disappeared, the two weak-minded people looked up in unison, touched the fine cold sweat on their foreheads, looked at each other, and hurriedly left. “How did you promise that Heavenly Sword Sect disciple to look after the courtyard for him?”
After walking a bit farther, one of them said with some dissatisfaction.
“Can’t you see that he’s already suspicious? In order to dispel his suspicions, this is the only way to do it.”
“In the future, we must pay more attention to this side, if there really is a cultivator who breaks through the formation and enters the courtyard, the two of us will be yellow mud off our pants.”
“Luckily, we live closer.”
“It’s living too close that led to this today!”
……
Lu Xuan entered the small courtyard, everything was set up as usual within the courtyard, and there were no traces of abnormality left near the formation.
“In the future, if the conditions are sufficient, we’ll have to upgrade the protection conditions of the small courtyard’s spiritual fields.”
“Although the small courtyard is situated in the Sword Gate Town, not far from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and there are few evil spirits and evil cultivators, etc., the security is much higher than in the Lin Yang Marketplace.”
“However, one can’t be careless because of this newborn, after all, the spiritual fields are planted with third-grade Ghostface Stone Mushrooms, Thorn Bones, and fourth-grade Hundred Pupil Guile Woods, so if they accidentally cause losses, it would be too late to cry.”
He thought secretly in his heart.
Entering the spirit field, a gust of gloomy wind blew, and more than ten grievous souls were casually wandering in the air.
The five Ghost-faced Stone Mushrooms at the bottom were growing extremely well, and the ghost-faced lines on the surface, when looked at closely, seemed to reveal a weird smile, which could be seen that they had been in a state of satiation during this period of time.
“The speed of absorbing the Yin souls’ grievances is getting faster and faster, the fifty grievous souls left behind last time were almost all eaten clean!”
Lu Xuan sighed and took out the Second Grade Grievous Soul Bell magic weapon, releasing another fifty grievous souls from the inner wall.
“A few more times and this Grievous Soul Bell will only have ‘bells’ left, let’s see if there’s a chance to get new Grievous Souls.”
He came to the thorn bone, and after a period of time, there were more and more bone thorns on top of the slender, pale bone, like layers of fine fangs, deeply rooted inside the skeleton of the Third Grade Barbarian Armored Bull, fully drawing on the bone marrow inside.
“It’s not a solution to keep catching the same skeleton and sucking on it, I’ve come to give you a change of flavor today.”
Lu Xuan threw the Purple Cloud Leopard skeleton as well as another Second Grade Demonic Beast skeleton underneath the Thorn Bone.
After throwing down the skeleton, he came to the strange little tree with pupils.
On the body of the tree, the pupil of the demonic beast left behind last time had lost all its activity and had become gray and white, and when Lu Xuan gently touched it, the gray and white pupil instantly transformed into countless powders and rustled down.
A translucent tiny tentacle reluctantly withdrew from the gray eye pupil, shrinking back to a half-open evil eye pupil.
After absorbing the essence from the demonic beast’s eye pupil, that eye had already opened most of the way, with a dark red pupil vaguely rotating inside, which would give a slight sense of vertigo after looking at it for a long time.
Lu Xuan took out a pair of Purple Cloud Leopard Eye Pupils and slowly handed them over to the Hundred Pupil Gui Mu.
The pupils closest to the Purple Cloud Leopard pupils sensed the fresh food approaching and struggled to open their eyes, several translucent tiny tentacles like gecko tongues shooting out in a hurry.
In the end, the two pupils were each hooked away by the two fastest transparent tentacles, and were nailed to the pupils, motionless.
The remaining few pupils unsuccessfully fought for the Purple Cloud Leopard’s eye pupils and slowly closed them, Lu Xuan was able to sense the pupils’ inner reluctance.
“A pair of Purple Cloud Leopard eye pupils can’t feed this Hundred Pupil Guile Wood at all, we have to find a way to get more higher grade demonic beast eye pupils.”
Lu Xuan thought in his heart, the stalls in the Lapis Plaza rarely encountered fresh demonic beast eye pupils, he decided to take the initiative to search for such things.
“If I want to obtain more fresh demonic beast eye pupils, naturally, I have to go out and venture out to hunt and kill more demonic beasts, and then take care of the eye pupils and raise them for the Hundred Pupil Guile Wood as soon as possible.”
“But adventuring? That’s impossible, it’s impossible to go on adventures in this life, cultivating and not cultivating, it’s just planting all kinds of spiritual plants to maintain the cultivation.”
First make up a shift.
