Chapter 221: Both parties are satisfied
Chapter 221 – Both Sides Are Satisfied
In a moment of dizziness, Lu Xuan landed in a sky-scraping ancient forest.
The Raising Xuan Sword Sheath with the Purple Electricity Sword inserted was hanging at his waist, two Third Grade Water Dragon Talismans slipped out of his sleeves and landed in his palms, and his Spiritual Awareness spread out carefully, no abnormalities were detected within a hundred feet of the surrounding area.
Only then did Lu Xuan feel slightly relieved.
“It looks like the thirty or so Inner Sect disciples were randomly dropped into the blessed land, and I don’t know what area the others entered within.”
He thought in his mind, carefully observing his surroundings.
He was surrounded by sky-high ancient trees, unable to see the height at a glance, the black-green branches and leaves covered the sky in general, making it dim below, and thousands of thick branches drooped down, crowding the area.
“The aura is even more dense and pure than in the Inner Sect, worthy of being the sect’s blessed land.”
Lu Xuan felt the surrounding spiritual qi, and suddenly, the Purple Electricity Sword on his waist drew out a large portion of it and violently turned his head to look somewhere.
Everything was as usual, and at eye level, there were only thick tree trunks.
“Strange.”
Lu Xuan muttered, just a moment ago, he detected an iffy consciousness spying on him, turning his head but finding nothing.
The Ancient Forest region was extremely vast, so he chose a direction at random, intending to walk out of this odd forest first.
While walking, that vague sense of being spied on appeared by chance, but when Lu Xuan went to look, he found nothing, as if it was just an illusion he had.
Lu Xuan let out a cold snort in his heart, his speed instantly accelerated, and his figure was like floating light as he swept through the ancient forest.
A few moments later, Lu Xuan’s silhouette silently surfaced, coldly looking at the branches hanging down from a tall ancient tree.
On the thick greenish-black branch, a face with fuzzy five senses was looking at the direction Lu Xuan had disappeared from before, and when he saw Lu Xuan’s sudden and steep appearance, the fuzzy five senses revealed a look of shock.
Immediately, it deeply hid into the green-black branch.
“Eh? What’s that thing? More cautious than me?”
Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense swept through, confirming that the elf in the ancient wood had completely disappeared, and then he inserted the Purple Electricity Sword, which he had drawn out a piece of, back into its ancient scabbard.
Electricity flashed, and the Raising Xuan Sword Sheath shook fiercely, seemingly unable to withstand the heavy penetration of the Purple Electricity Sword.
After understanding the source of that prying feeling, Lu Xuan was instead a little more relieved.
“From the moment it appeared in the Ancient Forest, that elf has been spying on me, but it hasn’t been making any moves or showing any hostility, and when I discovered it, the first thing it even thought of was to run away.”
“The grass and tree aura in the ancient forest is extremely rich, and the area is so vast, so perhaps I can get in touch with it more and see if I can replenish the green wood source qi properly.”
When Lu Xuan thought of this, the Green Wood Source Qi in his dantian, which only had a small half left, separated into a hair-thin aura that lingered on his fingertips.
The Green Wood Source Qi came from the dying gift of the Fifth Grade Green Xuan Deer, which could greatly enhance its affinity for spiritual plants, and had a great allure for these types of grass and tree spirits.
As expected, a few moments later, the fuzzy five senses appeared at one end of the branch, a pair of greenish-black eye pupils glaring round, unblinking as they looked at the green wood source qi on Lu Xuan’s fingertips.
“Want to eat it?”
Lu Xuan’s voice was low, his tone filled with compulsion.
The fuzzy five senses hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they couldn’t resist the temptation of the Green Wood Source Qi, and one end of the branch leaned towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan’s fingertips flicked, and thin green Qi shot into the mouth of the Fuzzy Five Officials.
After absorbing the Green Wood Source Qi, the blurred five senses on the branch flowed and changed, the green light surged, and then returned to its previous appearance.
They looked a bit more radiant.
After completing the feeding procedure, Lu Xuan’s mind condensed on the Ancient Wood Essence and instantly learned its details.
[Wood Essence, a wisp of spirituality is born within an ancient wood, and under the long-term nourishment of the rich and pure grass and wood aura, it forms into a wood-type essence monster].
Its strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary mid-stage early Foundation Establishment practitioner. It has a strong ability to hide and escape amongst the forests and trees, and can manipulate the spirit wood, and was born with a mastery of various wood-based techniques. They are gentle and usually don’t attack the cultivators.
“A spirit monster whose strength is equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it’s fortunate that I didn’t anger it after discovering it, otherwise, there’s no way to do an easy job of solving it under its home turf.”
“Now, understanding its nature as well as its preferences, then there’s no need to fight and kill, it’s completely possible to do so for mutual benefit.”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth rose slightly as he looked around at the tall ancient trees that he couldn’t see the edge of.
Such abundant grass and tree aura resources could not be found casually in the sect.
He smiled as he looked at the wood spirit hidden in the green and black branches and softly said:
“Is it delicious?”
The end of the green-black branch gently nodded in the affirmative.
The green wood source qi was delicious and nourishing to grass and wood type elves, and could be described as a downgraded delicacy.
“Hehe ……”
Lu Xuan let out a deep sigh.
“You and I are quite destined to meet for the first time, and I would like to feed you some more of the special green qi that I just had.”
“Unfortunately, there’s not much left in the stock on my body to properly satisfy you.”
His tone was filled with regret, and when he saw that the wood essence’s blurred features were somewhat disheveled, his words changed.
“However, it’s not without a way, I mastered a technique that can transform the grass and wood aura into a special origin breath just now, why don’t you let me absorb a little bit of the grass and wood aura in the forest, and I’ll feed them all to you after I transform them?”
The Wood Elf Intelligence was quite high, understanding the meaning of Lu Xuan’s words, and showed a hesitant expression.
“The bit of grass and wood aura that you absorb is completely a drop in the bucket for this ancient forest, it won’t take long for it to return to normal.”
“It can also help you reduce the possibility of other wood spirits being produced in the surrounding area, so as not to compete with you for the resources of the land, so why not?”
Lu Xuan ruthlessly snubbed.
The Wood Essence paused for a moment and controlled the greenish-black branch to nod down hard.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan revealed a satisfied smile and clasped the fourth-grade Tsunami Sword Talisman in his hand, lest this wood spirit change its mind midway.
The light green colored light mass in his dantian spun rapidly, forming a green colored shadow.
Lu Xuan’s back gave birth to more than a dozen barely visible green-colored tentacles, which extended rapidly and drilled into a heavenly ancient tree.
A steady stream of grass and wood aura surged into his body along the tentacles, and as it flowed, it was transformed into the purest green wood source qi by the pale green light mass.
The cyan-colored tentacles continued to expand, maximizing the scope of absorption as much as possible.
Lu Xuan controlled it extremely well, changing the target once the ancient wood was visibly absent, not exhausting the river.
The pale cyan colored light mass in the dantian became full again little by little.
From time to time, he struck out a strand of Green Wood Source Qi towards the expectant Wood Essence next to him, allowing it to continuously enter the trap of delicious aura.
The green wood source qi sent out wasn’t a lot, about a hundred strands absorbed before sending out one of them.
All the while waiting until the green wood source qi in his dantian was fully restored, Lu Xuan then withdrew his pale green tentacles and looked at the full and plentiful pale green colored light mass in his dantian with an expression of unfulfilled intent.
Not far away, the Wood Essence, after absorbing a large amount of Green Wood Source Qi, its features were a bit clearer than before, and it could even be discerned that it seemed to have hiccuped, with a similarly unfulfilled look on its face.
Both sides were satisfied.
