Chapter 252: Aren’t Opportunities All Delivered?
Chapter 252 – Aren’t Opportunities All Delivered?
“It’s indeed a bit of a pity, I thought that even if I couldn’t exterminate the Concentric Demon alone, I could still retreat in one piece, but I didn’t expect that kind of accident to happen.”
The Kong cultivator shook his head and agreed.
“However, the path of cultivation relies on the word ‘fight’.
Strive with the heavens, strive with the earth, and strive with people to gain cultivation and strive for opportunities so that you can go further.”
“If you don’t fight, the opportunities and treasures will be taken away by other cultivators, and the gap between them will gradually widen.”
“Especially when people like me don’t have a heavenly stature background or a unique, one-in-a-million talent, we can’t afford to miss out on a chance.”
“One step behind, one step behind, and missing out makes it difficult to catch up with others.”
Cultivator Kong said with some emotion.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and said.
“Senior Brother is right, and not entirely right.
Opportunities do have to be fought for on one’s own, but it has to be under the premise of ensuring one’s own safety, if one takes the risk of competing with others for the opportunity, like that senior brother before who perished as a result, then what is there to fight for again?”
“Senior Brother Lu, everyone understands this reasoning, but doing it is another matter.”
“Let me ask you, in this world, are there any opportunities that can be obtained without taking any risks?”
Lu Xuan opened his mouth, and then he didn’t know what came to mind and shut his mouth.
He had wanted to say that cultivating Spirit Plants wouldn’t involve any risks, but when the words reached his mouth, he felt that it was too absolute.
Well, there was still a slight risk.
For example, that old seducing himself with the Mystic Immortal Peach, the Hundred Pupil Guile Wood that he couldn t look directly at, and the Holy Infant Fruit Strain that was fishing ……
When the Kong cultivator saw Lu Xuan like this, he thought that he was convinced by himself.
“That’s why chances still have to be earned.”
“In this siege of concentric devils, more than thirty inner disciples, only one perished accidentally, the others suffered at most minor injuries, and there were even three fellow disciples who got concentric devils refined by conjunctive devils, so the risk is nothing compared to the chance.”
“Oh right, mentioning the Concentric Devil, I wonder how the senior brother who obtained it dealt with it?”
“After all, it’s a sinister, evil and poisonous thing, a bad one could bring about a scourge.”
Lu Xuan changed the topic and asked curiously.
“Naturally, it will be disposed of by those three inner disciples who captured and killed the Concentric Devil, however, it is indeed a trouble to keep that kind of evil thing.”
“So, if you’re not sure that it can be stored properly, then it can be handed over to the sect in exchange for spirit stones sword seals and the like.”
Cultivator Kong replied.
“I see.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but have a glimmer of an idea rise in his mind.
“That Concentric Demon is refining infants with five elements of single spiritual roots into sinister containers, then feeding and sacrificing thousands of infants’ essence blood and souls, it sounds quite suitable for cultivating the Sacred Infant Fruit.”
The daily growth of the Holy Infant Fruit required not only Yin Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Soil, but also infant Yin Souls, Essence Blood, and Souls to accelerate growth.
After obtaining the Holy Infant Fruit sub-strain, Lu Xuan suffered from the lack of channels to obtain such things, but he didn’t expect that the darkness of the willows and the three concentric devils hunted by his fellow disciples allowed him to see an opportunity.
“Pity that fifth-grade Holy Infant Fruit, it has been on standby in the small courtyard of Jianmen Town, only maintained alive by the Yin Qi inside.”
“It seems like we have to pay more attention to the clan’s exchange activities similar to the Qingtan Small Meeting, the three fellow sect members who got the concentric devils will most likely try to digest them internally first.”
Lu Xuan thought darkly in his mind.
It had been a long time since he had gone to the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town to inspect the several Netherworld Spirit Plants, and it was fortunate that every time he went over there, he would leave behind enough nutrients to allow them to grow wild and free.
It had been quite a long time since he had come out of the Lang Yue Blessed Land, and even if those three had been spying on him for such a long time without noticing any movement, they would probably slowly slacken off.
He decided that after a while, he would find a good time to secretly make a trip to the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
“According to the normal growth cycle of a third-grade spirit plant, the Ghostface Stone Mushroom and Thorn Bone might have already entered the maturity stage.”
“Both are Yin Evil type spirit plants, and I don’t know what rewards will be opened ……” He conjectured in his mind, actually having a few inexplicable expectations for the rewards of the light clusters brought by those two netherworld spirit plants.
He bid farewell to the Kong cultivator and returned to his mountain peak.
The Wind Falcon welcomed him in time with its young Jiao, and the Cloud Treading Lynx hid amongst the forest trees, again carelessly revealing part of its silhouette so that Lu Xuan could happen to see it.
The Demon Ghost Vine climbed down from a lush giant tree, the top of the gray vine had a touch of light green, like traces left by grass sap.
“Did it steal the spiritual plants on the mountain peak?”
Lu Xuan squatted down and said with a kind expression.
“No. ……”
The top of the Demonic Ghost Vine Vines shook, transmitting a thought to Lu Xuan in denial.
“Really no?”
Lu Xuan looked at the traces of grass sap at the top and smiled as he continued to ask.
“There really isn’t ……”
The Demon Ghost Vine continued to mouth off.
“Oh, then these traces should have rubbed off on you.”
Lu Xuan merged his fingers together as a shearer, clicking off that small section of gray vines, giving the Demon Ghost Vine a small lesson.
It could grow several of them anyway if it stayed at the Mystic Immortal Peach for a while.
Back inside, he sat on a futon, silently pondering over what he had seen today.
Neither he nor the Kong cultivator could convince anyone, perhaps in the eyes of the Kong cultivator, Lu Xuan was too cautious and prudent, without the slightest bit of sharpness.
Lu Xuan did not care about his opinion in his heart.
The biggest difference between him and the others was that he didn’t need to go outside, risk his life, and compete with others for a chance.
His chances were all on this mountain peak.
In the Waterfly Grass that could raise his cultivation level, in the Third Grade Wind Thunder Sword Grass that had successfully mutated, and even more so in the Fourth Grade Xuan Worm Vine, the Spirit-containing Pine, the Earth Flame Heart Lotus, the Demon Ghost Vine of the Fifth Grade, and the Sixth Grade Ancient Strange Wood Phoenix Wood.
This was also the bottom line that even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he still hardly went out to explore his chances.
“Well, it’s mainly because he’s weak.”
“When the cultivation level rises a little bit more, the treasures are a little bit more numerous, and the base cards are a little bit deeper, then I can try to see the outside world.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed in his heart.
He collected his mind, his body’s spiritual qi running, slowly following the line of action in the Great Five Elements Technique, constantly absorbing the pure and rich spiritual qi around him.
“Raising one’s cultivation a little bit starts from practicing hard.”
After less than half an hour of cultivation, a gray grass rope slowly came to his feet and gently touched it.
Lu Xuan opened his eyes and saw that the grass puppet with a big head and a small body was standing quietly in the courtyard.
At the foot of the mountain, a somewhat familiar voice came.
“Senior Brother Lu, are you there, I’m Guan Ivana, I’ve come over to deliver seeds to you.”
“So it’s Senior Sister Guan, I’m on my way.”
Lu Xuan’s figure of the yellow-shirted woman in the Hall of Transmission appeared in his mind, and after touching the grass puppet that had given him a warning, his figure swept past like a stream of light, instantly arriving at the foot of the mountain.
The corners of his mouth rose, his heart pleasing as a thought flashed through his mind.
“Aren’t all chances sent to us by ourselves? Is there still a need to fight for them?”
