Chapter 317 – Spirit Extracting True Liquid
Chapter 317 – Spirit Extracting True Liquid
“Fifth-grade magic weapon!”
Lu Xuan exclaimed in shock.
This was the highest grade treasure that he had opened from the mass of light.
“Looking at that information, the Taut Worm Sac belongs to a space-type artifact, and is considered to be an advanced version of the third-grade Sheng Sheng Bag.”
The Sustenance Bag was only of the third grade, and for the fourth or even fifth grade Spirit Plant Spirit Beasts, although it could still slow down the flow of their vitality, the effect was no longer considered particularly good.
Now with this fifth-grade Taoworm Sac, it was considered a perfect replacement for it.
“It can also be sacrificed as a magic treasure, and after it is successfully sacrificed, one might be able to obtain the Taoworm’s relevant divine abilities.”
Lu Xuan had once read a lot of books in the Tibetan scripture pavilion and had a certain understanding of the Taoworm.
The Taotie Worm was an ancient beast, harboring the Taotie bloodline, with the ability to devour all things in heaven and earth.
“It’s a pity that sacrificing a magic treasure requires a JieDan cultivation, so it can only be used as an oversized storage bag for the time being.”
Lu Xuan said with some regret.
The fourth-grade Xuan Bug Vine could increase the probability of success for demonic insects to be promoted to the fifth-grade, so he decided to temporarily keep it for future use.
After harvesting the Xuan Bug Vine, Lu Xuan remained in the courtyard, keeping company with the spiritual plants and beasts on a daily basis.
A month had passed in the blink of an eye, and the Empty Underworld Island was calm, with neither sea beasts attacking nor evil spirits intruding, and after the Blood Gelding Yin Worm incident, there was no scene of the expected powerful evil cultivators.
Such a calm and peaceful life, on the contrary, made him feel like a fish in water, only feeling comfortable and cozy.
On this day, two acquaintances, Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu, paid a visit to Lu Xuan’s small courtyard.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I really don’t know what you’re doing serving these spiritual plants all day long, can it still compare to the wonderful thrill of fishing for dragon carp?”
“The moment a dragon carp takes the bait, even killing a strong enemy and obtaining a chance cannot be compared to it.”
Shi Zhong complained to Lu Xuan as soon as he entered the courtyard.
He had asked Lu Xuan to go fishing in the sea two or three times in recent times, but all of them were politely refused by Lu Xuan, so he could not help but feel some resentment in his heart.
Lu Xuan thought darkly in his heart, a smirk on his lips.
“Each person has their own good, while Daoist Shi likes fishing for sea fish and sea beasts, I favor raising some flowers and plants, flying birds and insects.”
“What’s more, the joy of farming is not something that you can imagine.”
He added secretly in his heart.
The two of them entered Lu Xuan’s courtyard, and along the way, they saw various rare spirit plants, all of which were vibrant and green.
Those spirit plants of higher grades as well as the Hundred Pupil Guile Wood were hidden by Lu Xuan with formations, making it difficult to see by idle hands, and the two had no intention of forcibly prying into them.
“However, these spirit plants of fellow Daoist Lu are indeed cultivated quite well, without decades of experience as a spiritual planter, I’m afraid that one cannot grow spirit plants of this quality.”
Zhou Bingyu looked around and lamented.
Although she was intoxicated with cultivation, she still had this bit of eyesight, each of the spirit plants in Lu Xuan’s spirit field were vigorous, and their grades were basically above the second grade, so it was evident that he did have extraordinary attainments in the path of spirit plants.
“Come come come, two fellow Daoists coming over to my little courtyard for the first time, taste the spirit brews and fruits that I brought over from the sect.”
Lu Xuan took out the Drunken Immortal Gourd and poured out the Hundred Fruit Spiritual Syrup that had been brewing for many days from inside the gourd, and also took out the Blazing Flame Fruit, Ice Luo Fruit, and so on from his storage bag.
“The Spirit Brew is Hundred Fruit Spirit Syrup, brewed with dozens of different kinds of spirit fruits, with a hundred different flavors, and after brewing it with this precious gourd of mine, it is even more mellow and thick, with a lingering aftertaste.”
“Spirit fruit for the second grade of the Flame Fruit and Ice Luo Fruit, both for the second grade, good quality, continuous consumption of more can experience the wonderful feeling of ice and fire.”
During Lu Xuan’s introduction, the two of them began to enjoy the Spirit Fruit Spirit Syrup respectively.
“Good spirit fruits! The spirit syrup is even better!”
Shi Zhong couldn’t help but utter a sigh of praise after each of them ate some, while Zhou Bingyu on the side nodded her head repeatedly in recognition.
“It’s good that the two Daoists love it.” Lu Xuan said with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other, and Shi Zhong put down the jade cup in his hand.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, in the previous matter of the blood-coagulating Yin Worm, it was you who first discovered the anomalies of the contaminated sea fish, and after the small-scale outbreak of the Evil Worms in the archipelago, it was you who summoned important information to us, causing the two of us to station ourselves on the island to avoid massive losses.”
“This time I came over, mainly to express my gratitude to you.”
“Fellow Daoist likes spiritual plants, the two of us searched a bit and found three third grade spiritual plant seedlings.”
Shi Zhong took out a transparent jade bottle from his storage bag, which was filled with a large portion of seawater that was rich in spiritual qi, and at the very bottom there were three lavender corals.
“This is Purple Jade Coral, a Third Grade Spiritual Plant that grows at the bottom of the sea and is extremely hard, it can be used to forge magic artifacts, and the ground coral powder can also be used as an alchemy material.”
“No respect, please accept it, fellow Daoist Lu.”
Shi Zhong said solemnly.
“Then I’ll take it with respect.”
Lu Xuan arched his hand and smiled.
“There’s another thing, Fellow Daoist Lu’s earlier instruction for the two of us to inquire about the Third Grade Spiritual Liquid has also yielded results.”
“We have found three places that may have third grade Spiritual Liquids, two of which have yet to be verified as true or false, and only one of which can be confirmed to have a third grade Spirit Extracting True Liquid.”
“Oh? Where exactly is it? Can you tell me?”
A trace of curiosity flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“On an unnamed island in the depths of the Boundless Sea, two to three thousand li away from this archipelago, there are several species of Third Grade Sea Beasts spread out on the island.
If you, Fellow Daoist Lu, are free, you can partner with us and go hunting for demons and treasures together, three Foundation Establishment Cultivators from a large clan will naturally get it in ten hands, and you can get it in your hands.”
Shi Zhong said confidently.
“This ……”
A hint of hesitation flashed across Lu Xuan’s face.
“To be honest with you two Fellow Daoists, in the previous Blood Condensation Yin Worm incident, a Worm King that was comparable to a Pre-Foundation Cultivator had appeared, so I suspect that powerful evil cultivators are lurking on this archipelago, and so I have decided to try not to go out as much as I can in the recent period of time.”
“Therefore, one can only wait for the next opportunity to obtain that Spirit Extracting True Liquid.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu you are really too cautious, how how can you refine your cultivation with this kind of mentality? How can you go and compete with other cultivators for opportunities?”
Shi Zhong sniffed and said somewhat helplessly.
“Even if we run into evil cultivators and evil spirits, with the strength of our three cultivations, the odds are that the unlucky ones will be them.”
“It can’t be helped, I’m just an ordinary Spiritual Planter, extremely lucky to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“Whether it’s magic techniques, talismans magic weapons and the like, they’re all extremely average, so I can only play it safe.”
Lu Xuan said mockingly.
“Fellow Daoist Shi, people have their own aspirations and cannot be forced.”
Zhou Bingyu, the Ling Li female cultivator on the side, said indifferently.
Although the two of them didn’t understand Lu Xuan’s thoughts and behavior like this, they didn’t force him to explore the secret realm and search for treasures together.
“The two of you, Fellow Daoist Shi and Fellow Daoist Zhou, have exquisite cultivation and many treasures, and without me to drag them down, hunting sea beasts can still be a bit easier.”
“How about this, the two Fellow Daoists can go together to explore that island and hunt the demonic beasts, and if we obtain the Spirit Extracting True Liquid, how about I exchange this thing with the two of you?”
A pale green mottled gourd quietly appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.
